Jackson left five hundred men at Winchester, and forty-three at Charlestown. His object was to make a dash for the supplies of salt, sugar, &c., at Williamsport. He has lost his opportunity. Gens. Hamilton and Williams, and several regiments from Frederick, have arrived at Williamsport to checkmate his plan. The shells thrown at Col. Geary's camp yesterday were clearly intended to cover the above movement. At half-past 1 o'clock it is reported the rebels have destroyed Dam No. 5. No loss on our side. Arrest of George W.

Washington, Dec. 20. --In the Senate yesterday petitions for the emancipation of the slaves of rebels, for an armory at Rock Island, for the establishment of a system to exchange prisoners of war, and for the expulsion of Senator Bright, of Indians, were presented and appropriately referred. In the House, Mr. Lovejoy, of Illinois, offered a resolution instructing the Judiciary Committee to report a bill providing for the confiscation of all the property of all rebels, and their aiders and abettor, and the unconditional liberation of their slaves, and protection of said slaves from recapture by their masters. The proposition was laid on the table by two majority. Mr. Wilson, of Indiana, offered a resolution directing the Militar

emands of England upon this pretext of to-day we shall have reduced her to bonds of peace from which she cannot escape except as a reckless filibuster, liable to be outlawed by every other European Power. Meantime, with the re-establishment of our peaceable relations with England, we shall be at liberty to bring our whole military power to bear by land and sea upon this domestic rebellion. We hope, too, that, admonished by the restless impatience of England and France for cotton, President Lincoln and his Cabinet will vigorously push forward the movements of our fleets and armies, and put an end to all European notions of an inevitable Southern Confederacy by the speedy overthrow of the spurious revolutionary league of Davis and his confederates. Then, with this rebellion suppressed, with our revolted States restored, with an army of a million of men in the field, with a powerful navy, including a good proportion of iron-plated ships, and with our seacoast and frontier defe

General Halleck's dispatch reads as follows: Hdqrs. Department of the West, St. Louis, Dec. 19, 1861. General G. B. McClellan, Commander in-Chief of United States Army: Gen. Pope's expedition successfully cut off the enemy's camp near Shawnee Mound, and scattered them, twenty-two hundred strong, in every direction. Took one hundred and fifty prisoners and most of the enemy's wagons, tents, baggage, horses, &c. All the insurgents between the Missouri and Osage are cleared out. Price is still south of the Osage. H. W. Halleck, Major-General Commanding. The particulars of the engagement, as far as we can learn, are that Gen. Pope made a forced march upon the enemy, got between them, (apparently near Shawnee Mound, as the rebels were encamped at Clinton, in Henry county, and Chilhowe, in Johnson county,) and surprised them; for as soon as they at the latter place heard of his approach they beat a rapid retreat towards Rose Hill, Johnson county, leaving all their bag

Pope then threw forward ten companies of cavalry and a section of artillery in purrections, but mostly towards the South. On the other hand, we find that General Pope forced a strong cavalry reconnaissance to within fifteen miles of Osceola, ase being so perfect as to cause a complete panic and rout of the rebels. Gen. Pope, in his report to the Commander of the Department, says: The whole counor General G. B. McClellan, Major General commanding the Army: A part of Gen. Pope's forces, under Col. J. C.

the next ten days." It is argued in high quarters that the United States would be benefitted by a war with England, on the ground that we should be immediately relieved of the present enormous expense of keeping up the blockade, and could turn our guns upon the splendid commerce of Great Britain; that our people are just in a fighting mood; that in a few months we shall have one of the most magnificent and well drilled armies the world ever saw, with nothing else to do except to whip John Bull for the third time. This kind of reasoning is not very popular among the officers of the Government, but is really a sentiment emanating from a source entitled to consideration. Important from Washington — Mason and Slidell to be delivered up if Demanded. Under the above caption the New York Herald, of the 21st instant, has the following double-headed editorial comments: According to our latest advices from Washington, all apprehensions of a rupture with England upon the la

will yield to the present demands of England as the conditions of her neutrality, even if these demands involve the restoration of Mason and Slidell to the protection of the British flag, and a disavowal of and an apology for their seizure by Capt. Wilkes. In adopting this alternative of submission to these peremptory demands, the Administration runs the hazard of disappointing the popular sentiment of our loyal States. But a little reflection will satisfy every intelligent mind of the wi convenient pretext for a quarrel, without the intervention of any third party. Let our Government, then, meet the requisitions of Lord Lyons, in the restitution of Mason and Slidell to British protection, and in acknowledging that while Captain Wilkes would have been right in seizing the Trent steamer and in bringing her before a prize court for adjudication, he was wrong in limiting his proceeding to the seizure of his prisoners; and that we regret that his controlling considerations of i
