GUERRILLAS AT LANGLEY. A party of retel guerrillas made their ap- pesrance at Langley, three miles above the Chain Bridge, and five miles from George. town, early yesterday morning. Two of the guerrillas went into the houseof a man named | Williams, and the latter fled out of the back coor and made his way to Georgetown. These two alleged that there were three hundred in the company, but their tears doubtless added to the number. We do not hear that the gang effected anything worth mention by their de- Moretration.

The capture was made daring the hour of midnight, and but one watch wason deck, and but two men in the engine Toom. The captain bad retired, and thus, whilethey | Pere quietly sleeping, was this outrage eom- | mitied. The Second Engineer, Mr. Orin Snaf- | fer, undoubtedly had charge of the engine, and i im ail probability met his fate throngh his | bravery. He has been a long time in the em- | ploy of this line, and has always won tno re- spect aud esteem of hisemployers. He was a young man, and leaves a wife andchildren. | Seven passengers obtained their tickets at the office, and among them was one person who | stated to the clerk thathe was an old sea cap- tain, and preferred this mode of reaching Port- land o@ 8¢ onnt Of iis being the pleasauteatand cheapest.

Davis’ meesage to Congress, Dec. 7th, is deeponding | over ths loses of the etrongholds, Vicksburg, Port Hudson, and many other points. He eays there is no improvement iu the rela- | tions with foreign countries since last January meseage; on the contrary, there is greater di- vergence in the conduct of European nations, | aseuming a character positively unfriendly. The marked partiahty by Great Britain in | favor of our enemies is strongly evinced in their | decisions regarding the blockade, as well as , their marked difference of conduct on the snb- | ject of the purchase of supplies by the two bel- ligerents. This difference has been conspicu- | us since the commencement of the war. The public finances demand the strictest and moet earnest attention. A prompt and effica- cious remedy for the pres€nt condition of the currency is necessary to & successfal perfurm- sace of the monetations of the Government. He recommends taxation instead of further ' sales of bonds or issues of Treasury motes. The holders of currency now outstanding ; can only be protected by substituting for them some other security. The currency must be promptly reduced, to prevent the present in- , flated prices reaching rates more extravagant. } He calls upon the people to come to their | rescue, and recommehds putting an end to enbetitution, and modifying the exemption law. ; and add largely and promptly as possible, | He regrets the suepense of the exehange of | prisoners. | Commuaunication with Traus- Mississippi isso | Obstrncted as to render it difficult to comply {| with legislation, vesting authority in the ex- ecutive of Government.

BE aR ae Extensive Stampede. 4 LARGE NUMBER OF HORSES DEOWNED. About ten o'clock last night, about fifty- five hundred horses in the corral at ‘Camp Stoneman (Giesboro Point) broke out of the enclosure an stampeded, going in different directions im droves. A large drove of them came up the road leading to the city, and the guard on the bridge attempted to stop them, when the drove divided, and they went pell- mell into the branch, and many of them were drowned, the number lost beimg estimated at from one to four hundred. The guard at the bridge at once eet to work im getting out those that were allve, and through their efforts a large number were saved. Most of this drove, however, succeeded in swimming the branch and landing at different points on this side, a number swimming tothe Navy-Yard wharves, from whence they were taken. As soon as the stampede took place, a iargs force of cavairy- | een, stablemen, &c., were sent out to gather up the animals, and to-day they are scouring the streets of the city and the various roads in Prince George’s picking them up. There are various conjectures as to tho cause of thestam- pede, some claiming that it was the work of some rebel sympathizer, while others think that the horees got to running to warm them. selves, and knocked dewn the enclosure, P.S.—This stampede has assumed somewhat gigantic proportions. It is now believed that over one thousand horses were drowned in the Potomac and Eastern Braneb; and as these herses Bad all been purchased by the Goyern- ment, ang were valned at $145 per head, the loss to the Government would be $145,000. lapel Poricr Rerorts—First Precinct.—A.

The Court held the case under ad- visement for a day or two. This morning was set for the trial of a large number of persons indicted for keeping bawdy houses in the Second Ward. Most of tha,cases were, however, continued for cause. In the case of Louisa Kohner, who keeps a house on Thirteenth street, between D ana E, her counsel pleaded guilty and submitted the case to the Court upon the examination of cer- tain witnesses. Officer Tait made a statement to the effect that defendant had for some time kept a house reputed to be ill-famed. Officer Bigley testified also to the effect that | he knew the house, and it was reputed to be one of iff! fame. The Court sentenced herto pay a fine of $500 and stand commitied to jail until the money is paid, not to exceed one year. —— PREPARING FOR CHBISTMAS.—Last night, officer Burch, of the Fourth Ward, arrested Wm. Christmas for stealing a turkey,a fine fat one, weighing 17% pounds. Christmasand a comrade were together in front of J. H. Moore's provision store, corner of 4 street and Pennsylvania avenue, and getting a chance ‘seized the turkey and made off with it. Hewas ursued, caught, and the turkey was taken tom him. Christmas chowed fight at first; but the threatening appearance of a gentleman who was aiming to knock him on the head with a large stone, induced him togive up. He was taken to the Fourth Ward station, and Justice Giberson sent him to jail for.court. icp Ss Prersonar.—Wm. A.
