At nine o'clock in the morning the New Jersey brigade, recently arrived in Gen. Hooker's division, was reviewed and inspected by him — The day was one of the finest ever known in Maryland at this season. It was like a delightful day in the early Indian summer.--The brigade, consisting of the Fifth. Sixth,

McKendree, and L. M. Patterson, Company K, Sumner Greys! While strolling upon the banks of the Potomac, near Evansport, they discovered a small boat, a mile in the distance, evidently steering in the direction of the Virginia shore, containing three men and two small boys.--They were soon within a half mile of land, when they halted, and could be distinctly heard in loud conversation. They were very inquisitive in regard to how we were pleased with soldiering, our pay per month, our comfort as regarded clothing, &c. We answered all question

Congress when Pushmatahaw died, was often to see him in his illness, and officiated in some measure at his funeral. I should like to stand by the side of his funeral I should like to stand by the side of his son on the battle-field in this struggle for liberty. Yours, very truly, John B. Floyd, Brig. Gen., Commanding Army of Ka. By H. B. Davidson, Maj. & A. A. G. Skirmishing near Winchester. From a letter in the Lynchburg Republican dated "Army of the Valley, Winchester, Va., Dec. 9," we extract the following: There has been some skirmishing down on the Potomac below Martinsburg this last week. On last Thursday Gen. Jackson ordered four pieces of Pendleton's battery and four companies of infantry to Martinsburg, for the purpose of destroying Dam No. 5 on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, which would very much incommode the Federals; and on Saturday the battery took their position on the bank of the river to demolish the Dam, but the enemy opened fire upon them, when

d 700 at Smithland. There are no movements at Cairo indicating a speedy movement down the Mississippi river. Lincoln's message and Cameron's report have produced a great change among the Union men about Smithland.

ts revolted after having read Lincoln's message and Cameron's report, and are now under arrest in Louisville. The Louisville Journal, the pliant instrument of Yankee despotism up to this time, has turned round, and denounces fiercely the expressed purposes of the Government at Washington. Notwithstanding the truculent tergiversation of Prentice, its chief edition, to the Federal authorities, that paper continues to follow up its attack. The last number received here, that of the 9th of December, has a severe though cautiously worded editorial. The writer declares emphatically that if the Federal Government is going to carry out its abolition programme, the Union cause will be lost in Kentucky. Thus it will be seen what a favorable time the present is to push forward our forces into the heart of the State--Thousands upon thousands of those who have been supporting the Lincoln Government, or as they call it, the Union cause, will either disband upon the approach of the Confede

A Paris letter of the 9th of December to the New York Tribune, says: "Your correspondent must guess that, in the supposed case of an Anglo-American war, France would begin with, and hold as long as she could with polite advantage, the position of an armed neutral, ready to act as mediator. As mediator between England and the United States in the first instance. And then with England, perhaps, as mediator between the U. S. A. and the C. S. A.
