There was also con- derabie firing in frontot Richmond yester- @ey afternoon, and along the line of the rear « pieket guard. Recent manwuvres in the rebel lines indicate Unveual commotion amongst them, bat nothing is known respecting its cause. Itis thought that Lee-has been sending reinforcements botn towards Lynchborg, to oppose Sheridan's ad- vance, and to Wilmington, to prevent the landing Of our expedition against tnat city. One hundred and fifty prisoners took the oath of allegiance at City Point on Tuesday, and were sent North yesterday. Since Monday but few have been received within our lines, as the present position of the enemy’s forces is not favorable to their escaping. A rebel deserter who came inafew days since, declares that the state of affairs in the rebel army indicatesearly offensive operations in some direction, the nature of which is, however, unknown; and the men are told that General Lee is about attempting the initiative ofa project which will astcnish the world.

NasuHvILLg, Dec. 30.—General Stoneman ar- rived last night from his greatraid in East Tennessee and West Virginia. He furnishes the following account of it: The force consisted of Burbridge’s troopsand Gillem’s East Te ssee troops, all under command of Geasrai Stoneman They left Knoxsville on the 1t\h instant, ana tne move- ment was unknown to the rebels, and wis not discovered untilafier three days. At Kings- ort, Jones’ command were attacked, consist- ing Of about five hundred ot Mergan’s old com- mand, who were scattered and captured. Next the rebel forces of Vaughan were dis- covered at Papertown, near Bristol, trying to effecta junction with Breckinridge, at Sait- ville. Our forces pursued him to Marion, where 8n engagement occurred, resulting ina Joes to the rebels of all their force and artil- lery, except about two hundred, who retreated towards Lynchburg, Virginia. Our losses were very small, not exceeding two hundred in killed, wounded, and missing. The following rebel prisuners were taken: Twenty-four officers, and eight hundred and forty-five men. East Tennessee is now free from any body of rebels, and Kentucky is notinvested by the Confederates. General Stoneman had possession of a rebel telegraph line and held it for eighteen hours, during which time he discovered all their plans and movements. Breckinridge’s com- mand followed General Stoneman with the forces of Galtner, Crossley, and Whith- ers. and the {remainder of Duke’s com- mand, who had been in the frontier of Ken- tucky wailing to co-operate with the cavairy. Stoneman attacked his forces at Marion, Carolina. ‘Were either captured or dispersed. menee, All the railroad bridges frow New river, Virginia, tothe Temnessee line are de- stroyed. regularly kept u, Thomas had last night.

Granger’s Expedition—The Movement Toward Mobile—The City Feebly Defended—Strong Union Feeling There. New ORLEBANA, Dec. 22, (via Cairo, Dec. 30.)— The news of the capture of Savannah caused general rejoicing among the Union people here, and a corresponding depression among the Tebels. An expedition, under Major General Gran- eer, in considerable force, landed at Pasca- goula on the 15th, and pushed rapidly toward Mobile. A brief skirmish occurred on the 15th, near Franklin Ureek, when the rebels were routed. Many people were rejoiced at the sight of the Union forces. The navy rendered vaiuable assistance to the troops in Janding. T wotin-clad gunboats have gene up Pascagoula river 30 miles. Everything is pregressing favorably. Retugees report five thousand militia in Mo- bile, and that a strong Union sentiment pre- vails there. A reflection of a large fire was observed near Mobile on the 19th, supposed to be caused by burning cotton. General Davidson’s Expedition Returned— Other Matters of interest. Cotton was very dull at New Orleans, move- ments being checked by the increasing diffi- culty of procuring exchange Sugar, molasses, and flour were lower, the market being over- stocked with these articles. Business was reviving at Morganzia, under the judicious management of General Ullman. An expedition left Morganzia to co-operate in movements on the Atchafalaya river, but, much wasjeffected. Another expedition, under Colonel Spiely, went to Ricoine. Acting Maswr Thatcher destroyed much property and captured a large number of horses and cattle. Our forces snstained no loss, except the cap- ture of Lieut, Whitney. General Davidson’» expedition had returned, After successfally accomplishing their object. They traveled through one hundred miles in fifteen days, burnt fifteen bridges and a num- ber of miles of railroad, and destreyed enor- mous quantities of property. The raid was one of the most brilliant of the ‘war, and resulted in drawing some of Wheeler's forces from Tennessee, Taylor’s forces from Meriden, and Beauregard to Meriden.

Rovat, Vec.25.—The capture of Sa- vannah has been succeeded by the calm which Yollows victory. But there are indications that the military inactivity of the past few days will soon result in important offensive operations. The fortunes of the rebellion in Georgia and South Carolina, at least, are staked in some immediate operations; and the prestige and trinamphs of General Sherman ‘will admittedly urge him to complete the work he begar. General Hardee’s army, which numbered 12,000, 18 said to have been reduced to 3,000, In the evacuation of the city, the Georgia militia and other organizations proceeded to different parts of the State, and the residue of 3,000, it is Dow pcsitively known, marched by an un- jrequented route to Charleston with General Hardee. There was an impression that (en. Hardee had intended to attack General Foster's lrcops near the Broad River landing, and re- ‘nforcements were at once sert there by Gene- ral Sherman, but the enemy was not seen.

Last Sunday General Sherman attended St - John’s Episcopal Church in Sayannah The edifice is located nearly opposite his head- quarters. A large number of troops and citizens were present, and a fraternal feel- ing prevailed among the worshippers. The cily isremarkable for its quietness and good order. A number of Gen.
