Previous to this disaster Uraga had inflicted considerable amare on the French by capturing their supplies. le propeses to con- tinue guerrilla warfare, and was gathering re- inforcements for that purpose. blado, be- fore evacuating Guanajuato, destroyed the aqueduct, water reeorvoirs, and all the works belonging to the different mines, agricultural implements, and growing crops, leaving the country a barren waste. He retreated toward Zacatecas, pursued by adivision of the French army. Ortega was expected to join Dublado there and give battle to the pursuers. On the 6th the Mexican traitor Tobar, w!th 3,000 men, was defeated near Guadalajara by an equal numberof loyalists, under Colonel Bajat. ‘ive hundred prisoners, eight hundred horses, and a large amount of arms and ammunition were cepcared by Bajat. The impression prevailed at Mexico that Maxamillian would be induced to abandon the throne, and some Spanish prince would be substituted fora time, on condition that France and Spain uphold the new Gov- ernment. It was reported that Juarez contem- plated moving the seat of government from San Louis to Monterey, because of that being near the United States. His family were already at Monterey. A letter from President Juarez, dated San Louis, December ®, received in this city, says our hopes are for a speedy termination of your civil war ind a complete restoration of the Union, With it, no doubt many American soldiers would soon join us for the driving of the French trom the soilot American continent with their designs of establishing a monarchy here. We know full well, that if the United States had not been engaged in their present struggle, no European potentate would ever have attempted to strike a blow against repub- liean institutions. But as we are, with God's help, we will try to defend our beloved Mexico. You no doubt will be somewhat surprised at our abandoning our principal cities and leay- ing them in the hands of the French. We think we are right in doing so. In the first place, as amilitary view of the matter, the further we can draw them into the interior away from their base the better; by dividing them up and distributing their force they become weaker and give us more power to assail and destroy them. We don’t intend to carry on any more than what is classed as guerilla warfare.

Yesterday, a telegram came from New York fiving & synopsis of an intercepted rebel letter pablished in the New York Herald, and which shadowed forth it was stated gigantic manea- vers and plots of a grand winter eampaign in Marviand. The letter in the Herald, which we give below, seems to be rather poor authority for such an alarming telegram: EXTEACTS FROM A CAPTURED PRIVATELETTER feadquarters C. 8. Army of Northern Virginia, Dec. 31, 1983. } I receive your letters quite as rerularty as if they were biought to me by a Yankee mail baz. Indeed, our mail communication with Old Abe's dominions is most perfect and reliable, We have news ¢aily with so much precision as to time that much annoyance 1: expressed if «the northern mau” is now and then two or three hours behind the accustomed period of arrival. Itisa fact—which we have proved on several occasions through special ags of trace designed for that purpose—that we very frequently have northern pews in advance of our neighbors across the jittle river near our front; and, wiat is better, we know as much of the movements, numbirs. outgoings and in- comings of these sam° neighbors as they do themeel ves. ay to-morrow open ahappy yearto you. It will bea year big with fate to our dear South- ern nation. We may be beaten, bnt cannot be conquered. Even now, when the Yankee jour- nals come to us oyerlacen with stories of our broken spirit, our destitution, our pitiable suf- ferings fiom cold and hunger, and our desire to crawlin under the amnesty offered by most gracious and generous Abe, there is an enter- tainment prepared and on the eve of being seryed up that will make the readers of the aijorementioned pretty stories believe quite sin- cerely that all is not truth which is printed in Yankee newspapers. Oh I wish I darad to write all I know; and you are aware that I ain in & position ‘o know a great deal. But letters sometimes do miscarry or get into wrong hands, and if mine were to go astray the consequences would not be delectab I will say, however that our grand old chief has matured, and is about carrying to its consummation, a series of mar@uvres—and, albeit, bloody battles, too— combining strategy of so brillianta nature, and results of so comprehensive and definitive a character, that the development thereof will startle the Yankees as from a horrid dream. Aud we have the means, in men and material, to carry the plans out tothe letter, notwith- standing that the lickspittle penwipers of the great Yankee journals have writtten our gal- lant Southern armies down as naked, starved, dispirited, and demoralized. otwithstanding our intercommunication has been effectually destroyed (vide Yankee commentators on the resnitof Averill’s raid, and it feally was a clever raid.) my horse proudly carries me every day through the camps of the strongest and bestequipped ar- | my the Confederacy has yet concentrated, and any oronr Poe by their system of artillery warfare. ‘he French army being tar superior to ours in point of discipline, as well a3 being supplied with all the modern inventions in gunnery, we wouta be compelled to sacoumb eventually in any pitched battle, while, by harassing and destroying their commanica- tions, and carrying on a roving sytem of war- fare, like that of which the French once ex- perienced in Spain, they eventually will not consider Mexico an easy empire to govern. FROM MEMPHIs. A Ramor of Moment—A Cotton Proposition from the Rebrls. i St. Lovrs, Jan. i2—The Republican’s Mem. | phis correspondent says two important pro- | positions have recently been made by the rebel | authorities to the Federal Government. First, the (Juartermaster of the Confederate Army at | Hernando, acting by authority of the Richmond officiale, has offered to sell to Gen. Hurlbut or the United States Government. all the cotton now remaining within certain districts outside of the Federal lines. This offer embraces fif- teen thousand balesinall. Confederatemoney and ‘green backs” will be taken for it. it is said General Hurlbut favors the purchase and recommended that it be carried into effect. Second, it is stated Kirby Smith recently sent an authorized messenger to Washington to pro- pose to the Federal authorities tofurnish every requisite authority to get out all the cotton in that por'ion of the Red river and Washita dis- trict within rebel control. The money for the same to be paid to that class of officers except- ed from the amnesty offered by President Lin- coln. They to retire from the rebel army and go to Mexico. The Republican says eattorially « « Of the cor- rectncss of this information we have no doubt, for itcomes from sources likely to have the best means of information. Also, that this would involye a complete disbandment of the rebel forces in Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisi- ana and lexas, and the immediate return of those States to the Union. FROM NORTH CAROLINA. Open Hostility to the Richmond Dynasty. NEWBERN, N.C., Jan. 9.—The 5th Pennsyl- vania have re-er listed for the war, and will soon leave for home on furlough. Several batteries have also re-enlisted, as well as a majority cf the various regiments. even hundred persons in Newbern have taken the oath annexed to the President's am- nesty proclamation. The Times, the new loyal paper here, says the people of the State are ripe for revolt against the Richmond government. The leaders of the movement advocate a separate sovereignty, though boldly avowing return to the Union referable to the present state of affairs in ixie. The Raleigh Standard says the people in the extreme western counties of North Carolina have been Seprived of all mail facilities on the ground of disloyalty to the Confederate govern- ment.

Boston, Jan. 12.—The Traveller states that letters have been received in this city from a northern clergyman, who established himself in Uharleston with his family but a short time before the rebellion. He givestouching details of the anguish and suffering of the inhabitants, many of whom hope pod pray tor redemption, even at the hands of the Yankees. In his opin- ion, the time is rapidly approaching when it willbe found necersery give up the city to save the people from absolute starvation. Of course there are those who can leave the place, but many have not the means, nor have they any place of refuge. From Fortress Monroe. ForTRrEss Mowrog, Jan. 11.—The steamer John Tucker arrived here this morning trom Baltimore with about eighty wounded rebel prisoners bound to Point Lookont. It is rumored that Generals Barnes, Getty, and Ledlie have been relieved of their com- mands in this department and ordered to the Army of the Potomac, and General Weitsel will succeed General Barnes. Private Wilson B. Kerns, of battery B, 34 Pennrylvania artillery, has been sentenced to be shot for desertion. The sentence has been approved by Gederal Butler. FROM SHENANDOAH VALLEY.

Precisely at half- ast four o’clock this morning, Moseby’s Rebel jattalion, himself in person at their head, avoiding cur pickets on the roads, crossed the fields and dashed into our camp with a fiend- like yell. They poured a volley into the tents where our officers and men lay sleeping, ‘wounding many at the first fire. any of the tents ofofficers and men were soon surrounded by mounted and dismounted cavairy, apd @ deman@ for instant and unconditional surren- der made. 3 This demand was answered by & shont of defiance from our boys, as they tushed from their tents, half naked, in the midst of their as- sailants, and with their trusty carbines and re- volvers drove back the astonished rebels, who had promised themselves such an Nea ty east over the «sleeping Yankees.” The rebels rai- lied, and so did our men, as best they could, and a@ “rough and tumble” fight fifteen minutes ensued, when Moseby sung out, “Re- treat, boys; they are too many for us!” And the discomfitted Mejor and his midnight assas. sins made a precipitate fight in the direction of seperate vindichyeness, watch was one most vi veness, W! was e uailed by the coolness and undaunted valor our gallant boys, who fought, I will venture | glorious army has | will irrevocably p! among them the « graybacks” and flashing eyes of Longstreet’s noble veteran heroes.

RECENT EXPEDITION INTO NORTH CAROLINA. Three Thousand Slaves Set Free—Four Camps and Great Amount of Supplies Destroyed—Stock Carried Off, &c. A Norfolk correspondent of the New York Times furnishes an interesting account of Gea Wild's recent expedition, with a considerable body of colored troops, beyond our lines into North Carolina. The results of the expedition are thus stated : ‘The material results of the raid may be summed up as follows: Between two and three thousand slaves were released from bond- age, with whom were taken along about three hundred and .ifty ox, horse and mule teams, and from fifty to seventy-five saddie-horses, some of them valuable animals. The guerril- las lost thirteen killed and wounded; ten dweli- ing-houses, with many thousand bushels of corn belonging to them were burned, besides two distilleries: four of their camps were de- stroyed, and one of their number was hanged; and one hundred rifles, uniforms, infantry equipments, &c., fell into our hands as spoils, with a loss on the part of the brigade of twelve killed and wounded and one man taken pris- oner. Berides this, fourteen rebel prisoners and four hostages were brought in. “In regard to its moral and political results, however, the importance of the raid cinnot be over estimated. The counties invaded by the colored troops were completely panic-stricken. Scores of tamilies, for ro cause but a guilty conscience, fled into the swamps on their ap- proach. Never was a region wninto such commotion by a raid before. Proud scions of chivalry, accustomed to claim the most abject obedience from their slaves literally fell on their knees before these armed and uniformed blacks, and begged for their lives. I was fre- quently asked how I, 4 citizen, dared to trust myself among such incarnate demons. ‘What shall I do to be saved? was the question asked. on every side. » No sooner would the brigade enter aneigh- borhood, than General Wild's Quarters would be beseiged by those wishing to take the oath of allegiance and secure the protection of the Government. Their slaves might all go—only let their lives and property be protected. Union meetings were held in several places, and dele- gations sent to General Wild, proposing to do anything ‘to be saved.’ One set of resolutions was signed by fitty-nine planters, and another by seventy-six, while the return of the expedi- tion was precedea and followed by hundreds of North Carolinians, hastening to Norfolk to obtain certificates of their loyalty. One hun- dred and twenty vehicles crossed Great Bridge in a single day, containing persons journeying thither for this Jendabie porpose. An army of 50,000 blacks could march trom oneend of Reb- eldom to the other almost without opposition, ue error they would inspire making them in- vincitle.” Death of Mr. Thackeray. {From the London Times, December 25th.} Suddenly one of our greatest literary men has departed. Never more shall the fine head of Mr. Thackeray, with its mass of silvery hair be seen towering among us. It was buttwo days ago that he might be seen at his club, ra- diant and buoyant with glee. rday morn- ing he was found dead inhis bed. With all his high spirits he did not seem well; hecomplained of illness; but he was often ill and he laughed off his present attack. He ssid he wasabout to undergo some treatment which would work a perfect cure in his syetem and so he made light. of hismaiady. He was suffering from two dis- tinct complaints, one of which has now wrought his death. More than a dozen years ago, while he was was writing “Pendennis,” it will be re- membered that the publication of that work was stopped by his serious illness. He was brought fo Death’s door, and he was saved from ceath by Dr. Elliotson. to whom in gratitude, he dedicated the novel when he lived to finish it. Buteversince that ailment he has beea subject every month or six weeks to attacks of sickness, attended with violent retching. He was, sonerar lating himself the other day on the failure of his old enemy to return and then be checked himself, as if he ought not to be too Sure of a release from his plague.

He was heard moving about midnight, and he must have died between 3 and 4 in moraing ot ye:terday. His medical attendants attribut- ed is death to effusion cn the brain.
