Re-Crossing the Rappahannock. "Our dispatches," saj-s tho Lafayette Journal of yesterday—which we also copy—"give some particulars of the crossing, from the south to the north bank, of the Rappahannock, by Gen. Burnside with his whole army. At first sight this change appears unfavorable, even disastrous, yet it is impossible to form any correct judgment upon this new movement from any fact's now In our possession. It may be a part of General Halleck'a plan that General Burnside should cross the river and lnake a serious demonstration and then return, for the very purpose of occupying the attention of the main portion of the rebel army while other operations by our forces were progressingIt is no less possible that Gon. Burnside may have found more serious obstacles to contend against after he occupied Fredericksburg than he anticipated, and that he concluded it would be safer to bo on the left bank of the river, and consequently re-crossed. It does not, however, appear that he was in anywise compelled to return in consequence of the losses sustained in the several conflicts he had with the rebels. 'Franklin's division seems to have suffered most, yet the losses were small in comparison to the large numbers under Burnside. It would not seem that the disabling of about six thousand men would render it necessary to make so decided aretrogade movement as this. "It is almost useless to speculate upon the subject. We aro aware of the single fact that ho has returned to this Bide, but why he retraced his steps we are totally in the dark, and consequently can arrive at no satisfactory conclusion concerning tho movement."

Troubles in Mexico.

The New York Tribune says that the last news received in that city from Mexico, through private channels, indicates a disposition on the part of the clergy to co-operate with the French in their expedition against that country. A Catholic clergyman is said to have in his possession a letter from Vera Cruz, informing hi.i: that five Mexican prelates—the Archbishops of Guanaxuato, Merida, San Luis. Guadalajara, and Mexico—had written a letter of welcome to Gen. Forey, offering him the support of the whole Mexican clergy against Juarez. This letter also says that tho priests, who exercise a controlling influence upon the great mass of the natives, bad been instructed to prepare them for the reception of tho French, and that they were at work fulfilling their task with zeal and devotion..

This announcement is said to have imparled a great deal of confidence to tho Commander-in-Chief of the French army, and has caused him to postpone his march on the capital to the cud of January, so as to give time to his allies to affectuate the adhesion promised in his favor by the letters of these Archbishops.

fitv

It is also stated that the project announced by the authorities of Mexico, of flooding that city on the approach of the French, has excited a great deal of indignation among tho real estate owners and merchants, who have en tered a protest against such a resolution^

Banks' Expedition.

"We notice from dispatches that Gen. Banks' expedition has landed at the head of Chowan river, North Carolina. It is 25 miles from this point to Weldon, which is an important railroad junction—thence sixty miles by rail to Petersburg and eighty-six miles south from Richmond.

More Sick and Wounded Coming'. Orders have been sent to Surgeon T. W. Fry to at once make preparations for the reception of one thousand more sick and \vounded soldiers in the hospitals of New Albanjy These men aro to come from the hospitals at Nashvilles and Bowling.Green.-'

The Journal says: "The exceeding inclemency of tbo weather made his audience thin, bnt, as the'address was excellent', the few,V[ho went only got tho greater share apieco. He exposed first, the inferior character of a civilization based upon intellectual rather than moral development, as exhibited, in Greece and Rome, and showed that tho excellence of our present civilization was due to the power of Christianity. The College, he then maintained, was the great educating element of the Christian ministry. -Even self-educated men had to use the materials of education provided by Colleges. The chimney corner had sent out, many noble graduates, but the books that educated th#in had to come from the College. The Collcgo laid the foundation of the common school, and provided its instrumentalities."

A telegram of Tuesday, from

Washington say from what is known of the strength and extent of the enemy's fortifications, there seems to be a general approval of Gen. Burnside's course in re-crossing the Rappahannock There is nothing known to show that the rebels were inclined to leave rneir stronghold to meet our troops upon the open field. Although our loss is heavy, it is far below the published statements but the preciso number cannot for days to como be asa in

Candidate Tor the Penitentiary. Our neighbor of the "Review"— CHARLES H. BOWEN—we notice from his lr.st issue, has announced himself as a candidate for the office of "Director of the Northern State Prison." We trust the Legislature may favor our neighbor with the office sought, for it is a fixed and well-understood fact, generally, that no class of men need aid and comfort from the public more, just at this time, or who aro more deserving, than the conductors of the country Press. Then, too, we think we can with safety assure that democratic bod}*, that no truer servant can be found within their ranks—always with the party, right or wrong.

Done For.

The Cincinnati Commercial has finished J. Wesley Greene, the pretended ambassador of Jeff. Davis, effectually. It has hung him up to rot, or rather already rotten, in the sight of the nation. It gives an account of his life and character, with dates, names and places, so precise and circumstantial, and so easil}r verified by criminal records, that no force of skepticism or indulgent treason can break its effect.— J. Wesley Greene has como out of a generous obscurity, to assist the rebellion, and finds himself the most thoroughly ruined man that even the rebellion has unmade.

He began in Cincinnati as an impostor, continued by swindling his moth-er-in-law removed to Covington, and swindled a church to which he preached removed to Philadelphia, where he was sent to the Penitentiary for two years for swindling being pardoned out he went to New York, where he was sent to Sing Sing for three j'ears for swindling being pardoned again, he went back to Cincinnati and married a third time removed to Louisville, where he swindled Mr. Sehon's church out of §300 he afterwards entered the army as Chaplain, and was appointed to the charge of the post office for tho camp at Tennallytown, and robbed the soldiers' letters of the money they contained after this performance ho went to Pittsburg, where ho was at work at his trade as a japanncr when ho was discovered by Jeff. Davis's agent, and taken to Richmond. This brief sketch shows that Davis made a most judicious selection of an instrument. Who could be a fitter ambassador from a traitor than an impostor, swindler, bigamist and convict?— Won't tho Sentinel cop}' the Commercial's biography by way of illustrating Greene's letter, which it copied in full? —Since the above was in type we see by the Chicago papers that Mr., J. Wesley Greeno was arrested in that city on Friday, for swindling a fur dealer in Washington City out of $160 worth of furs. The rebel sympathizers have picked up a wonderfully "bad egg" in the man whom they sought to make so effective a weapon to assail the Administration^with.— Indianapolis State Journal, ,........

Slcli and Woipnded in Hospita,! at New Albany. From Dr. Fry, burgeon in charge of tho hospitals in this city, we .learn that there aro some fourteen hundred sick and wounded men now confined in the hospitals here being, we believe, a larger number than at anjr previous period. Under the management of Dr. Fry, as under that of Dr. Sloan, the hospitals in this city are in the best possible condition^. In proportion to the number of patients treated and the severity of their ailments, the mortality lists of our hospitals are less, perhaps, than any hospitals in the country. Dr. Fry is assiduous in the discharge of his laborious dutie^ fcombi^. ing with his superior abiliiies as a physici?.r, a sympathetic heart, which feels for othors' woes, and an uutiring industry, \yhi'ch never wearies or relaxes in the labor of his truly laborious situation.

tion to the subject is aware of the enof' mous amount of stores which is required for the'ample subsistence of a large army. Allowing four pounds per day per man it will require 2,350 net tuns for

men. To supply the current dohiand for our army of 150,000 men. at five pounds each, and accumulate a ten day's supply,

This would furnish a full cargo, for four first-class Liverpool ships each 10 days.

Civilization Opposed to Yallandlgliam Democracy. The Tory Vallandighapi made a speech at Newark, Ohio, a short time sinco. In that speech he says the tele graph, the express' companies, the churches, tho Sunday schools, are all propagandists of human freedom. And in this he is right. We copy from the speech:

The railroads, tho banks, the telegraph lines, the express companies, and another element that had of late defiled itself in the land—the churches —were all arrayed against the people. The pure altars of Christians were defiled, and the disciples had huckstered in the markets. The churches had departed from the doctrines of Christ and him crucified, and taken up the nigger and him glorified! There vili be"no Union, no peace, no home, no country, until you drive out those who have defiled the temple of the Savior of mankind, and restore the gospel in its purity. Refuse them support. It is time io speak out. The Sunday schools were used as a lever to upset Democracy, and support a set of abolition lecturers. When you find such keep your children at home.— Tho Press! Never in the history of the world was there a period when the abolitiop press teemed with such wickedness.

A Bis Tiling.

A former citizen of Dayton—Mr. Ivirkpatrick—who left that city for Texas in 1849, has lately performed ouc of the most brilliant feats of the war.— Ho has been living on the Gulf coast since ho emigrated to the State, and being a respectable gentleman, gained the confidence of his fellow citizens.— When Texas seceded he kept his own counsel, and so far as his exterior indicated, has been as g»od a rebel as any of them. Indeed he carried his secession "principles" into practice, for he purchased a vessel and put into it a full cargo of cotton, advertised among his friends that ho intended to run the "Yankee blockade." It was a good joke for the rebels, and they gave him every facility. Mr. Kirkpatrick got out without any difficulty and steered straight for the federal fleet, when he announced the ,"capture oftbe ship load of rebel cotton/' He then piloted the fleet into the Sabine Pass, where several more vessels woro loaded with rebel cotton were captured and duly "confiscated." Mr. Kirkpatrick also succeeded in getting his wife and children, a warrent for whom tho rebels had just issued. When last seen Mr. Kirkpatrick was at Pensacoia, on his way back to Dayton. When he gets there if the citizens .'don't .turn out enmasse and give him a brilliant reception we shan't think muchjof them. Hurrah for Kirkpatrick. Neics.

Re-Crossing tbe Rappahannock. HEADQUARTERS ARMT OF THE POTOMAC, Falmouth, Va., Dec. 16, 1-45 P. M.

During last night the army of the Potomac evacuated their position on the opposite side of the river. The movement was a perilous one, but was conducted in safety. The artillery was the first to cross the river. The last of tho infantry brought up the rear shortly after daylight. The enemy never discovered the movement until it was too late to do us any damage. As soon as tho last man had got safely across the river, the pont6on bridges were removed, thus cutting off all communication between the two shores. Our wounded are all safely on thiR side. There was a heavy wind all last.night, accompaniod by considerable rain, which assisted us in our movement and prevented the, rebels learning our intentions. :,'t

It is generally understood among the Democracy that matters are set up in Indiana for the election of Hendricks to the long term, and Bright to succeed Governor Wright in filling out the unexpired portion of his own term, from remaining in which originally he was prevented by expulsion.

The combination recently alluded to in these dispatches in favor of a republican member of the Cabinet to succeed Secretary Smith, seems likely to succeed. The chances now aro that Judge Holt will not be Secretary of the Interior, and the probabilities point to Assistant Secretary Usher.

Effect of Emancipation. WASHINGTON, Dec. 10, 1862. The capital is again full of life and business. Crowds fill our hotels, bourding-houfees and streets—crowds of strangers, men of business and Congressmen. The increase of population in the city of Washington within eighteen months is not less than 30,000, according to tho estimates.«f the officials in the Interior Department, and they do not of course include regiments stationed within the limits of the city. The present winter is the busiest that Washington ever saw.— Rents are enormously high, and rooms anywhere within reach of Pehnsylvania avenue or tho hotels, command a high prieo for the Congressional session. The old inhabitants of Washington open their eyes with surprise at this prosperity. If they look into the streets they see the railway cars —upon the leading avenues and streets —new Northern stores are open upon every hand. There is a moral in all this. It is freedom that has wrought these wonders in our midst—the spirit of free, institutions. Emancipation did not stir a ripple on the sm^jice of our affairs. In most instances the^jrfaves of last year aro servants»Uhis3*ea,'i hired.servants in the families jvhere ihpy once served without paj£ The mighty change has produced not a single bad result hero, and would pro-duce-no disaster anywhere, fjofuo of the old citizens of Washington" perceive the profound meaning of tlie miracle that has been wrought beforo their very eyes, and acknowledge that it is freedom that deserves the credit, and the same spirit would in time regenerate the entire South.
