FROM THE FRONT. New Positions of Rebel Cavalry. {Correspondence Associated Press. ] HEApQUARTRES ARMY Potomac, Jan 9.— Several deserters came in to-day, besides a large squad of contrabands, in the most wretched condition imagipable. They had travelled @ long distance in the rain and mud and were objects of pity to all who saw them, ‘They report that the rebel cavalry have with- érawn to Hickford,on the Weldon Railroad, where they arein winter quarters The were compelled to fall back to this point, owing to the lack of forage between there and Reams’ Station, and also for lack of transportation, owing to the destruction of the railroad in that district by Gen. Warren. @They, however, picket as far as Reams Sta- tion and on the west side of Hatchar’s Run, ‘with a division of Hill’s corps, located on the Boynton plank road. They have been busy preparing the railroad north of Hicksford, for the relaying of the rails, but as yet none have been put down, supposed to be because they do General Meade arters eneral Meade returned toheadqu: evening, from his short leave. b ne W. D. McGRrEvor, THE FIRST ARMY CORPS, Gen. Hancock's new ist army corpsis filling up as rapidly as could be expected under the circumstances, and the only drawback expe- rienced thus far is the obtaining of officers to send into the States torecruit. The corps bu- reau is thoroughly organized now, and this difficulty will be speedily overcome. Thereis every prospect that the corps will have ob- tained its full complement in a month’s time from the present date. THE PROVOST MARSHAL’S OFFICE. Colonel Ingraham, Provost Marshal of the Defenses North of the Potomac, 1s engaged in removing his office to-day from the corner of 19th and I streets, to the frame building ad- joining Gen. Augur’s headquarters, where he expects to be permanently located after to- morrow. ANOTNER SHERMAN.—Considerable puzzle- ment was caused yesterday by the telegraph dispatch from Cairo stating that General W_ ‘T. Sherman and staff had arrived at New Or- Jeans, and it was generally supposed that there ‘was some mistake in the name, which proves to be correct. It was Gen. T. W. Sherman who was at New Orleans. MEDICAL STOREKEEPERS.—Among the num- erous petitions daily presented to Congress, is the memorial of the medical storekeepers, representing that they are required to give bonds to the amount of forty thousand dollars, and be responsible for millions of dollars in walue, while their salaries are respectively fess than $1,500. They pray an increase of salaries to an equality with that of surgeons, and are endorsed in thelr application by the Surgeon General. Gen BuTLeR’s FAREWSLL.—Various mem- bers of Congress yesterday received from Gen. Batler himself, through the mail, printed cop- ies of his farewell to the army of the James. SrzamnoaT Cotiision.—On Tuesday morn- ing the mail and passengersteamer Georgiana, plying between Fortress Monroe and Balti- more, during the dense fog then prevailing, ran into a small bark amidships, near Fortress Monroe. The Georgiana was damaged, but the extent is not yet known. Six or eight per- g#o0ns are supposed to have been swept off the Georgiana and drowned. General Meade was @ passenger. The injuries to the bark, or loss of life, if any, have mot been ascertained. The steamer Manhattan took the place of the Coes as she was unable te return to Bal- more. THE Duty on Painting Parer.—The New ‘York Post states the following facts as reasons = the duty on paper should be removed: That the high duty on printing paper isa barren one tothe publictreasury. Thatit ben- efits nobody but the paper-makers. That it increases the burden of taxation and the amountof the public debt. That it operates Rot only asa taxon the diffusion of informa- tion, but as a tax on schools and education. ‘That it not only makes printing paper dear, but debases its quality, and that it checks and reetrains the American ingenuity in the im- provement of the manufacture of paper. MARYLAND LEGISLATURE,—The inaugural ceremonies occupied the day yesterday in this body. Lieutenant Governor OUox took his seat as president of the Senate, and the | standing committees of that branch of the Legisiature were appointed. U~ Cincinnati has passed a law requiring persons to have the signatures of six persons, and give a bend of £5,000, before acting as sub- atitate brokers. 57 A shock of a ‘‘one- horse earthquake” was feltinSan Francisco Dec. 11. 7 Ward Beecher’s salary has been fixed at 12,500.

General Butler's Removal—How the Or- der was Received—The Departure of the General for the North—Major Gen. Ord in Temperary Command of the Depart- ment of Virginia and Nerth Carolina. HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF|THE Jamas. Jan. Yesterday the troops of this command were startled by the unexpected announcem<nt that Gen. Butler had been relieved and ordered to Lowell, Mass. A host of rumors are flying about as tothe cause of this change. Nearly all, however, attribute the removal of General ch the failure of the Wilmington expedi- tion. The order was received at Batler’s head- quarters about half-pasteleyen o'clock a. m. yesterday. Adopting the theory that Gen. Butler was removed on account of the Wilmington expe- dition not meeting with the expected success, only one question remained to puzzle curious military men. They ceuld not imagine why the General was not removed some days ago. This question, however, received a final solu- tion when General Ord was assigned to the command. The hero of Fort Harrison was away on leave of absence, and the authori- ties only waited for his return to remoye Gen. Buller en. Ord returned yesterday, and at once proceeded to the headquarters of his command, the 21th army corps. He had hardly arrived before he received notification of the removal ot Gen. Butler, and his own assignment to the command of the Army of the James. Immediately on the promulgation of the order Telieving General Butler and Teplacing him by General Ord, the staff of the Army of the James assembled around the quarters of their late commander, reinforced by numerous other Officers of the command. The General was dee; ly affected, and expressed his regrets at parting with an army which, under his com- mand, had achieved so much. But any ex- pressions of sorrow were cut short by the rapidity ot the General’s arrangements. He had received his orders to report at Lowell at the earliest moment, and before 3 o'clock p. m. he announced that he was ready to leave. The orders directing this change instructed General Butler to proceed to Lowell, Mass., and report from thence to the Adjutant General of the rmy. Before 3 p. m. the General started for the North. He was accompanied by General Ord, General Devins, General Turner, General Ludlow, Captain Bruce, Captain Clark, Cap- tain DeKay, Lieutenant Merrill, Medical Di- rector Suckley, Major Davis, and Captain Wheaton. All of the aboved. named officers accompanied the General to Aiken’s Landing, where he went on board his flaghoat, the River Queen. General Butler was accompa- nied by Captains DeKay and Clark, of his pereonal staff, while the remaining officers turned their horses’ heads homeward. Gen- eral Ord also accompanied General Butler as far as City Point, where he stopped to see the eeuenant General, and returned late last night. Mr. Fessenden Elected Senator. Avevsta, Mz., Jan. 11 —Hon. Wm. P. Fes- senden was elected United States Senator to- day fer six years from the 4thof March next. In the Senate Mr. Fessenden received 27 votes, and in the House 116, to 23for Wm. P. Hawes, Democrat. Nathan O.

REBEL WAIL OVER THEIR WANT OF TROOPS. Irreparable Desiruction of the Rebel Salt Works Admitted. The Richmond Whig of January 7th, admits that the salt works of the Rene! Government, near Wytheville, were roined byond hope of remedy, by Stoneman. The Whig says: «Finding that General Breckinridge on leay- | ing the saltworks carried with him all the forces but afew resrves, the enemy at once moved to attack the latter and gain the long coveted prize—the salt depot ot the “rebel gov- ernment.” In this they weresuccessfal. They demolished the machinery and buildings and dropp-d railroad tron in the wall, which it is said cannot be drawn out.” The Whig alleges that Breckinridge is too weak to defend his department, saying: “As to the defence of this department against Stoneman’s raid, the force was inadequate. It is boped that the administration may yet ap- preciate the importance of the defence of this department, and look to the security of that section of Virginia from whence a large pro- portion of two of the most important staples for the prosecution of the war is drawn—that is, salt and lead. It is impossible for General Breckinridge to defend such an extensive fron- tier with a mere handful of men. “But few seem to appreciate the position oc- cupied by the department commander, and some would appear to demand of him impossi- bilities. As the same complaint comes up trom all parts of the Confederacy of a paucity of troops, itis apparent that Jeif is hopelessly at the end of his resources. The Dispatch of the 7th, ssys that the explo- sion of the Dutch Gap Canal, though only 12 miles from Richmond, was not known in that city until the news was brought from New York. The Dispatch says that the «firing will be tremendous whenever the first moni- tor shall show its nose in the canal,’ and in- timates that the position of the monitors will not be much improved if they get through the canal. The Sentinel, (Jo Davis’ organ.) in answer to allegations of other rebel papers that Jeff. Davis blunders, had thwarted Lee’s plans, says “upon authority” that the allegations are unfonnded, and that the plans so roundly abused were Lee's own. The Sentinel intimates that Lee is to receive the position of military dictator, and asks «what good end is aimed at in this attempt to undermine his fame and destroy him in the very moment of entrusting everything to him?!” THE REMOVAL OF GEN. BUTLER. It is stated that Gen, Butler was relieved at the request of Gen. Grant, by the President, after consultation with acting Secretary of War, Dana, (Secretary Stanton being absent) and Major Gen. Halleck; the President acting in deference to the wishes of the General in Chief of the armies of the United States in matters purely military. THE REBEL GUNBOAT RICHMOND.

The Senate resumed, as the unfinished busi- ness, the consideration of the joint resolution for giving notice of the termination of the Re- Ceo Treaty. 1. Howe costinued his speech from yester- day in opposition to the repeal of the Treaty, and ia reply to the arguments on the other side, that our revenues and treaty had been injured thereby. The genUeman from Ohio, Mr. Sher- maz, he said, tallysd as if the normal eondition of eur wars, one of taxation, in that the berden of his co’nplaint was that introducing Canadian articles interfered with the tax- gards the complaint of the products being ad- mitted duty free, he knew that tnat had been the very object of the treaty, as result most desirable—the balance of the trade being in our favor. If money was wanted, instead of taking to tariffs, he thought it best to tax directly, and hoped the American people would discover the fact ere long, that the most burdensome way tosupply their treasury was by tariffs nani indirection. He thought we certainly could compete with Canada in our produc- tions, and on liberal principles of trade. At this point, about haif-past one o'clock Mr. Grimes interrupted Mr. Howe, and an- nounced that there was present on the floor one of the most distinguished and gallant offi. | cers of the navy—Vice Admiral Farragut—the first and only person who Rad over held that rank in the service. He moved that the Senate take a recess of ten minutes, in order to afford Senaicrs the ornorfunity of intercourse with that disringuisned officer, The recess was accordingly taken, and thé Senators generally paid their respects to the Vice Admiral. He was aeccompanted by Cap- ao Drayton, the commander of his flag- ship. On the resumption of the session, Mr. Howe | concluded bis speech. | _ Mr. Wilson offered a resolution, which was adopted, instructing the Committee on the Conduct of the War to inquire into the reasons of the failure of the late expedition against Wilmington, and report thereon. Hovss.—The House resumed the considera- tio.. Of the joint resolution proposing an amen: ment to the Constitution of the United States to abolish slavery throughout the United States. Mr. Smith, of Kentucky, commenced by say- ing he would, in the discussion of this ques- tion, throw aside all personal and sectional feeling and devote himself solely to the benefit of his country. He reviewed the ultra doctrine of State rights, which had produced dissension, Tebellion and war. Gentlemen here had not only enunciated such destructive doctrines, but, but had gone astep further. Mr. Smith then argued thatit was notonly the duty of Congress to present the amendment for the ac- tion of the people, but was the duty of the people to adoptit. ZS Mr. Cox argued that the power to amend the Constitution in the manner proposed, but doubted the wisdom of its exercise in a time of war. He alluded to the action of the Chica- go Convention in declaringin favor of an ar- raistice and the calling of a national conven- tion of all the people. His information was in thatthe North would have yielded and the South would not have held back. TELEGRAPHIO NEWS. LATEST FROM THE SOUTH.
