They were ocoupied by the enemy om Tuesday, the 20th, and held by them, as is stated, ‘wmtil Thursday, when the Yankees retreated towards Bristol. We learn that the place was held by about two hundred reserves, under Colonel Preston, the most of ‘whom escaped capture, The works are reported ‘to be bat little damaged, and we understood from persons ‘who have visited them since the occupation of the enemy ‘that they can be put in working order again by the Ist of February. A large quantity of salt already gotten out was destroyed, and all the buildings at the place were burned. ‘Beveral pieees of artillery were also captured by them; ‘out they got little else of any kind. General Breckinridge ‘was, at last accounts, at Baltville, preparing to follow the @nemy on his retreat, A brigade continued skirmishing ‘with their rear guard, No farther fighting bas taken piace than that already reported.

The Report of the Death ef the Guerilla Mosby Confirmed. Appointments in Hancock’s Veteran Corps, as, Be. am, Wasummarom, Dec. 38, 1864 THE DSATH OF MOSBY, THE GUERILLA CHIEF. On Tuesday, December 17, an expedition, comprising the Thirteenth and Sixteenth New York and Eighth Iil- nois cavalry, under command of Licutenant Colonel Clendennia, started to scout the country thie side of the Biue Ridge in search of Mosby, On arviving at White Piains oa Wednesday the command separated, and the Thirteenth and Sixteenth New York went towards Mid- dloburg, and the Eighth Iilimois by another road, towards Aldie, The first named proceeded to Salem, and charged through the place, capturing shree or four of Mosby's men, and chasing bis brother, who was Mosby's adjutant, for ome distance, but withous capturing bim. ‘They skirmished all the way toReotortown. From tbere they took a cress Tead to Mid@ieburg, here they arrived about tea P.M. They discovered a rebel officer sitting a6 the supper table with en orderly tm @ house @ Ute of from the Thee wes « wootinel im front of the house, whom they fired upon, but be escaped, The noise brougtit the of- oer to the door, He bad « pistol in bis hand, and when called upon to surrendér stepped baok into the house. He ‘was then fred upon, and a ball entered his bowels, mor- tally wounding him. The orderly was secured, but re. fused to tell who the officer was, There is no doubt, however, that he was the redoubtable Mosby; for, in addition to other evidence, a rebel mall bas since been captured, which contained a letter frem a Mrs, Stinson, a friend of Mosby, ‘ting that Mosby had been killed, and describing the manner of his death, which corres- ponds exactly with the account above given, and also stating that his body bad been sent to bis friends. Major Frazer was in command of this party. ‘The Eighth Illinois picked up a few prisovers. The two parties met between Middieburg and Alaie, aud returned to Camp Lowell with their prisoners. There were no casualties. The prisonors say that they wore completely surprised, as they did not suppose any Union troops were im that neighborhood, and supposed jthat the party be- longed to Mosby’s gang, as many of them are dressed in our uniform, TGR WOUNDED IN THE GUERILLA ATTACK OW OOLONEL SWHITZHR'S PARTY. The names of the wounded at the time of the guerilla attack upon Colonel Sweitzer’s party, a fow days ago, are Corporal Raider, wounded in the groin, and privates Mola and Bering, the latter wounded badly in the arm. The four who wore captured were stripped of their thick clothes, and even their boots, and then forced to walk Seventy miles to Culpepper. Here, during the night, the guard got asleep, and they made their escape and man- aged to get back to our lines. The whole party wore badly used up, and their limvs frozen. Their names wore Sergeant Fiynn, Sixteenth New York cavalry, Fran- cis Vaughn, gutier, and Dr. Meesiok. GMgg7, THOMAS AND MR. STANTON. It is reperted, on pretty high authority, that, on the evening preceding his first day’s attack upon Genera, Hood, General Thomas received an order from General Grant relieving bim of command, and directing him to tura over tris forces to an ofticer whose name js suppressed ‘(ee prudéntig] reasons. Goneral Thomas immediately telegraphed back to the Lieutenant Genera! and the Secre tary of War, asking that the order might be suspended: as he had made all his arrangements for moving out of bis works the next morning at daylight and attacking the enemy, He added that he cared nothing for himself, and would ask to be relieved the moment his campaign against Hood should be ended; but that for the sake of his army and the public service he did not wish to turn over to another for execution the plans and dispositions which he had made for the mext morning’s action. Secretary Btantoo—tho Lieutenant General being absent—imme- diately telegraphed back to bim to retain his command; and the results of this wise retention are now before the country. It appears that General Grant was dissatisfied with General Thomas : first, for having fallan baak from Franklin; and, secondly, for his failure to promptly at. tack Hood when that rebel chief attempted the siege of Nashville. General Grant now rejoices that ‘Captain Blow-and-Sure,”’ as his soldiers call Thomas, was not de. Prived of the opportunity of adding this brightest jewel to bis dearly-earned crown of fame. THE PRESIDENT’S LAST NOT MCR BUT ENERGETIC. At the Christmas reception given by Mr. Lincola last Monday, the venerable Secretary of the Navy was in high feather, boasting of the achievemonts of the South Atlantic Biockading squadron in capturing Savanoab, while also being kind evough to acknowledge that the forces under General Sherman had rendered the navy some not inconsiderable help! After Mr. Welles loft the room a general officer who was present—tne head of an important bureau—remarked that the patriarchal Secre- tary of our Navy “seemed to consider the capture of Savannah altogether a naval triumph.” To this Mr. Linooin flashed forth one of bis maguificent jokes, there being only this objection to its reproduction: that it was far too rich to bo printed, and can only be passed from mouth to mouth in the circles of the tonermost initiated.
