From Dally Sacramento Unions. Date to December 31st. The latest reliable intelligence relating to the rebel urmy on our front at Frede ricksburg is that they have massed their forces on both sides of the railroad from Fnderiekshttrg to below Onioned Station. Tin; truck for two miles south ol Frede ricksburg has been torn up and the rails are being used for turn ouib at the pretent terminus. On Tuesday Inst, n brigade of rebel env was outfitted with rations and forage for Feverid days, and revolvers distributed to the men. near Guhincs Station. It wai be lieved that their destination was King George county, by way of Fort Royal. On Saturday morning a new encamp ment mnde its appearance on tho second range of hills near Fredericksburg, in full view Trom our position A eonsulernuiu number of tents have recently been sent up from Richmond. The enemy is ou traged every night in rnising and extending breastworks along the streets fronting the river, as il to prevent any further crossing by pontoons, 'intelligence from Aonia creek today states that about four thottnnd rebel cav alry, with four guna, mnde nn attack on four regiments of Sigel's infantry at Dam fries, on the Quiiiiiieo. in tho rear of Hum side's army, yesterday. The contest lasted till dark, and was renewed this morning. The cannonading is heavy. The telegraph reaped to woik yesterday, and up to four thia afternoon no official intelligence in re gard to the result has been received here. IIkadquauteus Army ok t;ik Potomac, ) December 28lh. f Notwithstanding tho presence of our gunboats in the Rappahannock, the enemy has of late procured huge supplies of cat tle and hogs from the peninsula counties. Last week General Plcnsnnlon captured a hundred and fifty head of cattle which were en route for lv-ds Ferry. Advices from Richmond say the iron chid gunboat Richmond makes daily trips to Driny's Uluir. Telegraphic operations have been re sumed." An official dispatch states that the rebels, numbering one thousand five hundred, ullttekul Dumfries, but were driv en off with loss. The firing to-day in the direction of Oecaquon was iirnlmmy caused by the enemy's cavalry falling in with Gen eral SloimhV infantry. The Richmond Dbpatch of December 2fth has the following, dated Peleishurg, Dec. 24lh : On Monday. General Prynr. with a small detachment, nttacked n Yan kee force of several hundred, stationed at Isle of Wight Court House (Isle of Wight county, below the Jumcs), to protect the election of a number of Conguss. At the first charge the Federals fled in gnat confusion, and they were chased ten miles. Tho losses were trilling. New York. Deo. 'JO. Thu Tribune' Wusliingtnn dispatch says : Stewart's reb el cavalry got entirely round Dtirnside's army on Saturday, fiaving Damlries in their possession during tho morning. It is stated that tho Federals under Colonel Cnnhy, having no pickets out. were sur prised in the night and captured. Noth ing is known positively as to our low. The Seventeenth Pennsylvania was roughly handled, nnd withdrew in considerable Imste. Fifteen wagons, containing regi mental property, fell into the hands of the enemy. On Saturday night these maraud ers were in possession of Ocenruon. Yes terday morning they were within six miles of Fort Lyon. I also learn that they cap tured a four-gun battery at Dumfries. It is also stated that at Occnqunn they fell in with n detnehment of tho Twenty-second Pennsylvania regiment. A fight ensued, in which twenty Federals were killed nnd wounded, and the balance cuptnred. The official dispatcli does not confirm nny of these reports. Selma (Ala.)

Canton (Miss.). Dec. 22d.-Granfa army has fallen back beyond tho Tallulmt chic. An important expedition under Vnn Dorn. which has been out for several days, has not been heard from.

Virgima Several teamsters nnu cnvairy men arrived nt Alexandria last night, who represent that Smart's cavalry appeared tit Pohlek Church on Saturday night, nnd proceeded to Aceontiek, twelve miles from Alexan dria, ni Sunday. There is great difficulty in at riving at the precise truth, but that thu rebels are, or have been in that vicin ity, is beyond question, 'information has been received at Mem phis that a heavy Federal force ascended the river from New Orleans the naval part under Commodore Farragut. The Vieksburg IJ'ogof December 18lh says fourteen gunboats and sloops were at Raton Rouge the day before. Later in formation says Port Hudson, on the Mis sissippi, twenty-five miles above Raton Rouge, had been a I lacked and completely demolish) d by our gunboats. Sixty guns were captured. At the last accounts, Far ragut hml reached u point twenty miles be low Vieksburg. General Sherman's expedition from Memphis has also probably arrived in that vicinity ere tins. Cairo, Dee. 29. No chongc of import ance lins taken phu'c below Columbus. Kculuckf. The rebels under Forrest are still theie. We have nothing positive in regard to (lie condition of the road, but il is f.iir to presume that it has been dam aged considerable. The rebels were re ceived in a most hospitable manner by the people ol Western Tennessee, who fur nished tic men with horses and clothing. Van Dorn is believed to bo between Holivar, Teniiess-ee, and the Misissippi riv er. On the 20i li of December he attacked the Federals, numbering two hundred and Oily, at Davies' Mills, six miles below Grand Junction, Tennessee, but was re pulsid with tlui loss of twenty killed and thirty wounded, who were left on the field. A number of wounded were catried oh". Several pi isoners weie taken. The Fed eral loss wax Hilling. Grant's fiilliug buck across the Talla hatchie is confirmed. The main body ol the army has been at Holly Springs for some days. It i a supposed thai Giant will now open the Memphis and Clmrlcsion road and remove his base of supplies Ironi Cairo to Memphis. Cairo, Dec. 29. In n skirmish near Helena. Arkansas, on Monday last, twenty Federals were captured, four killed nnd a number wnttudid. The Cougi clonal elections in West Tennessee have been postponed to the'JOlh of January, by order of General Iliirlbul. Chicago, 29. General McCleruand's ex pedition is Miid to be composed of a hum drul uu'd fourtien transports, carrying fifty ihniwitud men, with f-even gunboats. Washington, 29. Official telegrams con tradict the recent report of the Federals having fullered considerable losses in sup plies at Holly Springs (MUs.). Accord ing to the official reports, the rebel raid into Holly Springs was of little import ance, and the tu-suiluiits were promptly driven buck ere they could accomplish any thing. Philadelphia. Dec. .'lOlh. Tho Wash ingtou Siar has thu following regarding the lust rebel raid : At eight o'clock, Saturday evening, a rebel force of cavalry, with u battery, sud denly appeared in front of Dumfries. They ntlaektd our troops, who hud three killed, but the rebels were driven oil'. Iiiiforuiation to this (fleet having reached heuihpiarters, troops were put in motion to cut oil the enemy's retreat, if possible. Altef being worsted at Dumfries, the rebels pushed directly for Oecaquon, where they hud a slight engagemet with thu Federals sta tioned there, to thu number of lilteeu hun dred. Our forces maintained their ground. Thu rebels next proceeded up Dull Run, crossing at Wolf Run, and thence to Bay ard's Station and Annuudnle' where they encamped for the night. At daybreak, on Sunday, they wero again in tho snddlc. .Meantime our troops at Fairfax Court Housu did their hctst to head them oil' in that direction, but being infantry, they wero unable to do so, The rebels were lust seen in the vicinity of Lewinsburg, where their number was estimated nt a thousand, with four pices of artillery, with which they escaped in the direction of Lccshurg. The only plunder they got for their trouble, was filteen empty wagons. New York, Dec. IlOih. Tho Iribune commenting on (lie rebel raid in Virginia, says : Closing nnd keeping tight shut a liiio fifty miles long in such a country as Virginia, is an impossibility, even with the uso of cuvalry, in such numbers ns our pres ent cavalry t-yslcm docs not admit of. Tho Herald's special dispatch suys : It is stated to-day in financial circles that the Se cretary of iho Treasury has consented to the further issuu of two hundred millions in Treasury note3. This would curry the circulating medium to five hundred and seventy-seven millions, which amount, how ever, may bo reduced by the withdrawal of bunk notes by Uuuse's polcy ol taxing them. FayettevPIc (Arlc), 29th. On Sntur day, 27th, General Heron started with a portion of his cavalry and infantry for the other sidu of thu Boston Mountains. Gen. Blunt lelt Cave Hill nt tho same time by another route. Tho two combined were about 0.000 strong. They went in light marching order, with six day's cooked rti- i t:ons,nnd marched forty-two miles without stopping. At daylight yesterday morn ing both commands joined nt'Lec's Creek, three miles south of the mountains, when the cavalry nnd artillery numbering 2,000. started for Vnn Bnrcn, on the Arkunsus, ifeavjng the Infantry to follow ns fast ns possible. At Tripping Springs two rebt I regiments were encountered nnd after n sharp skirmish put to flight, leaving seven killed nnd many wounded on the field. Our forces immediately followed tho fifing rebels to Van Bureii. where n splendid charge was made, led by Blunt und iierrnn in person, resulting in u complete victory over the enemy. The rebel cuvnlry rushed aboard I he steamboats and escaped to the other side of the river. Two steamers and over one hundred prisoners, amoiing them being several officers, were captuicd. with a large quantity of corn, camp equipage, transportation, mules nnd horses. The full extent of the capture is not yet known. When the messenger left Van Buren, the infantry were within eight miles of that place, hastening forward. The Etna from Liverpool, 17lh, nnd willi Qiieetibtown dales to the 18th. has Larrivtd. The President's message had been re ceived, and was eagerly canvassed, but hud no effect. No luiih wus exhibited in the emancipntiou scheme. Tins Vmic suys the message is less a threat of extermination than a bid for peace. In another article it says the emuiiciputiou scheme is n labored substi tute for the Septt mher edict, und the scheme of a very weak man. Tho Herald finds tho message made up of platitudes, absurdities and inconsisten cies. The Ditihi Arci Fays Lincoln's emanci pation Kclieme docs his humanity credit, but il has no luilh in it. The Loudon Globe defends the British Government iteuinst all blame in connec tion with thu pirate Alabama. The Times has an editorial to the same died. Il is reported Slidell hud an interview with Napoleon, und that Droiiyndul'Huys and lVrsigny favor the South. England oilers, witli the consent of other powers, to cede the Ionian islands to Greece. Philadelphia. Dec. 30lh. The 7V hns news I'ioiii I'Yi'tuss Monroe that General Naglee received iulormation from contra bunds, which wus considered reliable, that a body of seven thousand men, under Gen. Trimble, had been detached from (lie army at Fredericksburg, and was approaching Gloucester Court HoiU'c, with u view, as supposed, of attacking the batteries ttt Gloucester Point. Our troops were under arms, and Naglee hud prepared for tin at tack of the enemy in force yesterday. We had iwo gunboats in the river to assist. New York, 30lli. A Washington letter says rumors of foreign intervention are quite common again. But they cannot be traced to an authentic source. It is, how ever, claimed by many intelligent persons that Seward confidently expects the inter vention of the Fieuch Government in our Hairs, und has shaped his diplomacy with thai Government wholly with reference to Mich danger. A Norfolk letter contains tho following: "A British subject from Charleston brings intelligence that nineteen negioes were hung In thu street just before his departure, in const qiieuee ol the discovery (hat they were collecting anil secreting urnw. me whites there for some time past had been closely watching the negroes. They dis covered no uuusiiul number of funerals among them. A whito mini, disgttisid, followed one of the processions, und on ar riving at tho burying ground discovered (hut the collin contained arms, which were tuken and buried, in u vuult in which a number were already deposited. Tho con sequences of this discovery was the hanging of nineteen of the most intelligent conspira tors. Cairo, 30lh. Jeff Davis and General Johnson were at Jackson, Mississippi, 18th. Thero are now no rebel troops in Arkansas within one hundred miles of Memphis. General Holmes hnd moved his forces to Little Rock, his ultimate des tination being Vicksbur,'. Affairs tit Columbus, Kentucky, nro un changed. New Madrid, Missouri, is to be rcoccupicd by troops sent down for that purpose to-day. Chicago. 30ih. Later information from Holly Springs, Miss., fully confirm the first report of thu destruction of u very large umoiiul of property at that place by thu lebels. Depots, machine shops all the buildings containing Comisary stores, two locomotives and forty curs, $100,000 worth ol cotton und ten thousand army blanket were destroyed, nnd ordinance stores blown up. They puroled eight hundred prisoners, and left during the afternoon. In the even ing of the sumo day a detachment of rebels attacked Cold Water, but were repulsed with considerable loss. On Christmus the rebels took Ripley, Miss. That being on the line of retreat, it wnR expected that MeArthur's division would intercept them between Ripley und Salem. The Postmaster nt Richmond, Kentucky, sends u report that Colonel Curler, com manding a brigade, has captured Knox-ville,- East Tennessee, nnd destroyed four bridges and a largo portion of the railroad between Knox ville und Dnndridge. General Roseernns' forces have driven the rebels into Murfiecsbnro. Chicago' Dee.JiOtli. Yesterday's Louis ville Journal says that tho trestle woth ot tluuNushville road neur Muldrough's Hilt was. destroyed the day beforo by Morgan, Six hundred Federals opposed him, but niter a short fight surrendered. If this is true it will take thirty days to restore rail mod communication. Pussegers on the train Irom Louisville to Shepardstown yesterday, report hearing henvy firing dur ing tho ul'iereoon in the direction of Leba non Junction, li was rumored that n por tion of Morgan's forces were at Bardstown, and' that they had destroyed a portion of the track nenr Elizabuthtown. The rebels have been repulsed three limes from Mumloidsville, und everything , there is safe. Louisville (midnight), 30th. Colonel Harlan attacked .Morgan nt Rolling Fork yesterday morning. The engagement lasted an hour and a half. The Federal loss was two killed and three wounded, 'flic rebels retreated towards Bardstown, having lost several killed and wounded, and one Cap tain und six privates captured. Morgan spent Inst night at Bardstown, and moved eastward on the Springfield turnpike this morning. It is reported that our forces had nn en gagement at New Hanover this morning and repulsed the enemy. Shepardsvillo and Rolling Fork bridges are safe. The trestle work at Muldrough's Hill is se riously damaged, and it will require n month to repair it. Two smnll bridges, easily restored, were burned by the rebels at Lebanon Junction, The above com prises all the damage done to the bridges on the Louisville und Nashville, railroad and connections. .' Rosekrans cuptnred several cannon on his approach to Muifivcshoro. Reports from that vicinity indicate that nn engage ment is progressing there. Wo have been for the last six days without any direct, communication, and uru therefore unable to give nny particulars of his operations during thut lime. St. Liuis. JR. General Blunt tele grnohs tiiider date. Van Buren, Arkansas. December 29th : We tire shelling thu rebel camps on thu opposite side of the river, five miles In-low here. If tho enemy don't retreat during the night we shall endeavor to cms our troops in thu morning and give them battle. Wu captured four steamers, three of which were heavily laden with supplies; also a feny bout and :i large amount of iimmiiuitiou. Fnyeltcvillc (Ark.. I 111. Additional par ticulars of the Fethral ttdvnuce to Van Buren have been received. Our army wan ten miles litis sidu of Van Buren ye.-terdny morning on its return, and would bivouac on thu mountain top last night. It is ex pected to reach Prairie Grovo to-day. General Scholleld joined them u few mile. bcyoud the fool of the mountains. The stcameiR burned by our forces hud full car goes of grain and provisions for the rebel army. A largo amount of urmy store were ttlso burned. The rebels burned their arsenals and the ferry bout Fort Smith to prevent their falling into Federal hands. They ulso destroyed n lorge quantity of forage nnd provisions on thu opposito bunk of the river. A general conlhigrn thie was in progress when our forces left. Many deserters came into our lines, who report that two regiments of Missouriatis stacked arms n few days since, crossed tin: river and went home. Another regiment, left a short time niter, taking their arms with them. Two regiments of Tcxans nro also said to have slacked arms and started home. A regiment of cavalry wits sent in pursuit, but instead of arresting the runa ways, joined them. Everything goes to show that the rebel army of the Tron Misissippi Department is utterly demor alized. Our troops are in splendid spirit, having accomplished n most during und successful raid without losing n man. Louisville. 31. The Cumberland river has risen snflk'ienlly for Rosekruus to ob tain his supple. s by that route. Cincinnati, 31. Advices from Nnh ville confirm the report that Rosekruus had moved on tho enemy. Considerable heavy skirmishing has occurred, the rebels retiring. Rosekrans' advance was in sight of Murfreesliorn on Monday, with tho ene my in view in line of battle. It was ex pected that a buttle would take pluco on Tuesday. Washington, 31. Intelligence from Al exandria represents that Stewart's cavalry, with artillery, were, on Monday, encamped twelve miles from the city, not far front Btirkett's station on the line of thcOrungo and Alexandria road. Baltimore. Dec. 30th. Fussengers from Frederick, Maryland, report that Sinatt's cava'ry, numbering 1.200, commenced crossing tho Potomac into Maryland early this morning, ten miles this side of Point of Rocks. It is presumed their purpose is to plunder Frederick. New York. Dee. 31st. Tho report thn'. rebel cavalry have crossed Into Maryland, near Edward's Ferry, is confirmed. They wero followed to Vienna by a force of mounted men, under Captain Mix, and yesletduy a reconnoissanco was pushed us far us Frying Pan, neur Chantilly. The pursuit will be continued to-doy by Colonel Percy. Windham, n prisoner taken yester day, says Lee, Stuart und Hampton lelt Guinness Station on the 24th, with 7.000 cavalry and six pieces of artillery. ThN force was afterwards divided, Stuart going to Humphries, with 1.000 men nnd two pieces of artillery. The whereabouts of the others urc not known.
