ROCHESTER, N. Y., JANUARY 10, 1803. 
The Army in Virginia. 
Wk gather the following details of the fight j 
with the rebel General Stuart, from the Wash- ] 
ington Mar.- 
On Saturday week Stuart crossed the Rappa- , 
bannock at Kelly’s Ford, about six miles east of ( 
the Orange and Alexandria Ik R, with 6,000 f 
men and six pieces of artillery. He proceeded 
to Stafford Church, where he divided his forces ( 
into three columns, each having two pieces of ( 
artillery, and thus formed, inarched to Dumfries, 
where they were heard of about 11 o’clock A. M. ( 
Taking position on the hills commanding the ( 
town, he commenced throwing shells, and Blip- ( 
ceeded in demolishing the buildiug laUdy occu- ( 
pied by General Sigel and several other officers. , 
The place was occupied liy three regiments of ! 
infantry. 400 Cavalry, and three pieces of artillery 
of Gen. Slocum’s corps, and under the immedi¬ 
ate command of Col. Ganby. The light lasted 
about six hours, when the rebels retired, defeated. 
Our loss was four men killed and eight wounded. 
The enemy, so far as- known, had 10 men killed 
and 10 wounded. Thirty rebel soldiers were 
captured, and they captured 20 of our cavalry 
before reaching Dumfries, who were out pa- 
troling. 
In his recent raid Stuart caused his telegraph 
operator to intercept the Union telegrams at 
Berk's Station, thus learning more or less of 
efforts made to capture him by our forces at Fair¬ 
fax Station and Court House should be venture 
to visit those points. He also sent various tele¬ 
grams, one to Fairfax Station, pui-poriing to order 
the instant destruction of the considerable quan¬ 
tity of army stores there, which, however, failed 
of its object Among the messages at Berk’s 
Station, sent over the wires by his order, was the 
following: 
Hkkk's Station, Doe. 28—3 I’. M. 
To Quartermaster General Meigs, Washington: 
—In future, you will please furnish better mules. 
Those you have furnished recently were very 
inferior. J. E. B. Stuaut. 
Major General O. S. A. 
The material result of Stuart’s cavalry raid, it 
is now stated, was one Government wagon half 
(lik'd with oats, but it masked the withdrawal 
from the lines below Fredericksburg of large 
bodies ol’ rebels. Balloon observations 900 feet 
high, revealed to our commanders last week tile 
fact that tlie number of rebel infantry camps 
across the Rappahannock had largely diminished, 
and tiie belief that large bodies of rebel troops 
have been withdrawn from our front and sent to 
Petersburg and to reinforce Bragg is vej-y gene¬ 
ral among our commanding officers. 
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad route it is 
thought will soon be opened for through travel 
and freight. Generals Sehonck and Kelly are 
confident that their forces will be able, without 
difficulty, to protect the road permanently. The 
telegraph line is a]roady established the entire 
length from Baltimore to Wheeling and Farkers- 
burg, and the maintaining of this gTeat thor¬ 
oughfare. undisturbed, will he of incalculable 
advantage to the Government and commercial 
interests. 
Gen. Burnside returned from Washington on 
the 3d inst., and has been visited by bis grand 
division commanders. Several contrabands came 
into camp and were freed in accordance with 
the proclamation. 
On the night of the 3d it was ascertained that 
the enemy had strongly increased their river 
pickets for some distance above Falmouth, and 
it was feared that this might cover some projected 
attempt to cross the river. Our nearest forces 
were immediately disposed so as to give the reb¬ 
els a warm reception, but no attempt to cross 
wa« made by them. 
The Suffolk correspondent of the Baltimore 
American, under dale of the 3d. announces the 
return of General Beck, and the review of Cor¬ 
coran's brigade. The enemy Lave shown them- 
selvee strong in front lately, and it is thought 
their apparent anxiety to light will soon be grat¬ 
ified. The correspondent hopes to be able in a 
day or two to give stirring news from that quarter. 
A Fortress Monroe letter announces the disas¬ 
ter to the Monitor. It says that the Georgia has 
returned, and announces the safe arrival of the 
Passaic at Beaufort, which sailed with the Mon¬ 
itor. 
The following has been received at the Navy 
Department: 
Hamiton Roads, Jan. 3. — 9 P. M. 
To Hem. Gideon Welles:—The Monitor, in tow 
of the Rhode Island, passed Patterns Shoals at 
2 P. M. Weather fine and promising. About 9 
P. M. squalls commenced, and about 10 it blew 
hard. At 1 30 P. MWednesday, 31st. the Monitor 
having sprung a leak, went down. Commander 
Bankhead and the officers and crew of the Rhode 
Island did everything in their power to rescue 
the officers and crew of the Monitor. 
S. P. Lee. Acting Rear Admiral. 
The officers missing from the Monitor are as 
follows:—Acting Ensigns Geo. Frederickson and 
N\ K. Atwater; 3d Assistant Engineers, R. S. 
Hine* and S. A. Lewis. The following men are 
missing:—J. Stocking, Wrn. Biyen, Jas. Menn- 
wick, Robt. Williams, Thos. Joyce, Geo. Little¬ 
field* ItobL Howard, Daniel Moore, Robt. Cook, 
Jacob Tuckley, Win. Allen, Wm. Eagen. The 
following officer )'s missing from the Rhode 
Island:— D. K. Brown. The following men are 
also missing: C. H. Smith, M. M agg, L. M. Gris¬ 
wold, L. A. Horton, G. Moore, J. Moore, J. Jones, 
H. Logan. 
It is more than probable that the missing boat 
from the Rhode Island, with more or less of the 
Monitor’s crew was saved by passing vessels. 
Department of the Gulf 
Thk steamer S. R- Spaulding, from New 
Orleans the 24th, arrived at New York on the 
1st inst, with General Butler and staff, excepting 
Capt Jonah H. French and Capt John Clark, 
who remain. Gen. Butler, prior to leaving New 
Orleans, gave a reception at the City Hall, where 
hundreds of citizens and officers called on him.— 
Gen. B. also issued a farewell address to the citi¬ 
zens, in which he says he leaves with the proud 
consciousness of carrying with him the blessing 
of the humble and loyal, under the cottage roof 
Another Missouri regiment left a short time 
after, taking the arms with them. Two regi¬ 
ments of Texans also stacked arms and started 
for home. A regimeut ol cavalry sent in pur¬ 
suit. instead of arresting them, joined the run¬ 
aways Everything goes to show that the rebel 
trans-Mississippi army is completely disorgan¬ 
ized. 
Gen. Blunt telegraphs from Van Buren, on 
the 30tli, that the rebels retreated during the 
night toward Arktulolphia, abandoning about 
sixty wounded at Fort Smith, whom they left 
with instructions to take care of themselves. 
Blunt also reports that Col. Phillips, whom be 
bad sent into the Indian Territory, with 1,200 
moo, has driven the rebel forces of Colonels 
Coffee and Stan wart across the Arkansas river 
at Fort Gibson, and destroyed the rebel fortifica¬ 
tions, barracks, and commissary buildings at 
Fort Davis. Col. McIntosh's command of rebel 
Creeks and Choctaws expressed a desire to lay 
down arms and return to allegiance to the United 
States.

AFFAIRS IN WASHINGTON. 
A special to the N. Y. Herald on the 3d 
inst., says it is rumored that the President has 
declared his intention to command the army in 
person; also that McClellan is to be assigned to 
dnty, organizing an army at Fortress Monroe. 
The N. Y. Mercury says that Burnside again 
tendered his resignation on Wednesday week. 
The President positively declined to accept it, 
and has given him full power to go into winter 
quarters or advance on the enemy, as he may 
choose. It is also understood that there is to be 
no more interference from Washington, and alt 
the supplies that Burnside needs will be fur¬ 
nished. It is confidently expected in Washing¬ 
ton dial the army will soon move against tin* 
rebels. 
President Lincoln has issued tiie following 
Proclamation relative to tlie freedom of the 
negroes: 
Washington, Jan. J, 1863. 
Whereas, on the 22d day of September, in the 
year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and 
sixty-two. a Proclamation was issued by the Pres¬ 
ident of the United States, containing, among 
other things, the following, to wit:

over obscure aud dangerous bridle-paths, came 
upon their camps. They were preparing to

men. The rest, though outnumbering Stevens' 
force, were utterly routes!,

mountain gorges. 
Twenty horses, and u large amount of blankets,

Arkansas.— The rebel newspapers taken at 
Van Buren, admit the rebel loss in killed and 
wounded at Prairie Grove, at over 4,000. The 
entire telegraphic correspondence ol Hindman 
was taken. It contains much valuable informer 
tion, and will be forwarded to the War Depart¬ 
ment. The destitution of the rebels is pitiable. 
Four thousand of Hindman's infantry are. shoe¬ 
less. The loss of rebel citizens by the recent 
raid, amounts to over $500,000. The rebels arc 
dispersing in every direction. Schofield has 
assumed command of the Army of the Frontier. 
The following additional particulars of the raid 
to Van Buren were received on tiie 31st ult.: 
Our army was ten miles this side of there yes¬ 
terday morning, and would bivouac on tlie top 
of the mountain last night, and expected to reach 
Prairie Grove to-day. Schofield joined them a 
few miles beyond the foot of the Mountain. The 
steamers Violet, Rose Douglas, Frederick No. 6, 
and Van Bureu. with grain and provisions for 
the rebels, were burned; also a large amount of 
army stores. The rebels burned the arsenal and 
ferry-boat at Fort Smith, to prevent their falling 
into'our hands. Also, a large quantity of provi¬ 
sions on the opposite bank of the river. The fire 
was in progress when our forces left
