Probably we ought to give their newspapers the benefit of the fact that it is not they alone who are engaged in this very valiant sort of campaigning. Gen. McDowell, in his report of the affair at Fairfax Court-House, seems determined not to be outstripped by the press in this new branch of military factious. What he lacked in other departments of generalship, he is determined to make up in mendacity, the most important part, in the Northern programme.

A Union member of the Tennessee Legislature becomes Disgusted with Lincoln. --John McDowell, a Union member of the Tennessee Legislature, from Andy Johnson's county, made a speech in the Legislature on the 14th, in which he stated that Lincoln's message had driven every vestige of Unionism out of him, and now he came out fully and fairly for the South.

ral weeks arrived here to-day, and reports that on Thursday last Price's camp at Osceola was thrown into confusion by the news that the Union troops were upon them. They beat a hasty retreat, and when last heard from were at Hammansville, hurrying South. St. Louis, December 24.--About a thousand of the rebel prisoners taken by Gen.

The repairs progress rapidly here. The bridge repaired, and the culverts b
