The view of the Long Bridge over the
Potomac, and the passage of the army,
is another piece of perspective; and the
passage from Moultrie, with the glancing
moonlight u$on the dark waters, excites
alike a thrill at the daring of Anderson,
and admiration of the skill of the artist
who has so faithfully rendered it The
various battle pieces are executed in a
style that evinces that the seienco of color
and effective grouping has been closely
studied by the artist who has furnished
us with such a magnificent illustrated
record of the rebellion. The dioramic
representations of the naval combat in
Hampton Roads is a striking instance of
mechanical effect, and perhaps one of the
most interesting features of the evening,
always eliciting the most lively applause
at the pluck of the Cumberland and the
saucy daring of the " Yankee Cheese
Box." The Polyorama is a successful
institution.
A Good Thing. The members of Lo
cust street M. E. Church, having for
83metime past been crowded and jam
med by the large audiences in the habit
of attending divine service in their pres
ent building, have wisely concluded to
build a aew edifice, on the lot purchased
tor that purpose-some time ago. A snb- I the road
scrpition lias been started and is being
responded to by the church in the most
liberal manner. Four of the members
put down $1,500 each $6,000 at the
outset; a large number subscribed
$1,000 each, and a still larger number
$500 each.

Firi. There was another alarm of
fire about Hi o'clock TWsda nignt. it
was occasioned by the burning of a large
stable in Sullivantown, the property, we
understand, of old Mr. Sullivan. The
stable was not used for any purpose at
the time, and stood on a vacant lot Its
destruction was undoubtedly the work of
an incendiary. What his object could

Boston, Dec. 30. The usually well

ald, writing from the fleet off Charleston,
dating December 22d, says: I see by the
papers that there is a good deal of un
easiness because the navy here is idle,
let me say that if the papers at the North
only knew the reason why we are idle
they would stop grumbling. In due time
they will have a chance to rejoice over
the doings of the navy before Charleston.
To prove that this is no idle statement, I
am willing to wager $100 with any north
ern grumbler that if every thing works
according to the plans laid out, Charles

Washington Items.
We clip from our exchanges the fol

30th, and which failed to reach us on
Tuesday night:
The Army of the Potomac has finally
settled down, mud-bound, into winter
quarters. Cedar Mountain, the key to
the position there, was held by our
forces.
People all over that section are in a
state of starvation, and daily throng our
camps to procure provisions, which our
commissaries are ordered to sell tbem at
good prices. In this wbv many are re
lieved, while also the nests of guerrillas
are enabled to obtain supplies, and pro
tract their thieving and murdering sys
tem. Mr. Chasu will soon commence to is

Averill's raid produced great conster
nation in Southern Virginia. His dam
age to the Virginia & East Tennessee
railroad was not as great an was sup
posed, as the President of that road gives
notice that it is again in running order
to Bristol, in Tennessee.
Thi President and Secretary of War
returned to-night from a short visit to the
encampment of rebel prisoners at Point
Lookout It is understood they satisfied
themselves that no less than 1,000, or
about a tenth of the whole number, are
ready to enter the United States service
The President of the Western Sanitary
Commission, Mr. Yeatman, has been
here for the purpose of representing to
the authorities the Jnoedy and suffering
condition of the freedmeu on the Missis
sippi, and urging the immediate adop
tion of measures for their relie It is
understood that he has been directed, in
conjunction with the special Agent of
the Treasury Department, Mr. Mellen,
to make a thorough inspection of the
abandoned plantations under lease and
report to Washingtoa He left here yes
terday. Adjctast-0 enkral Thomas reports
Col. Hawkins' brigade of 5,0(10 Colored
soldiers at Millikeu's Bend as in excel
lent condition, and its commander
avers it can whip any 5.000 rebels now
in arms. Gen. JThomas1 thinks by Spring
there will not only be negroes enough in
the field to guard the banks of the Mis
sissippi its whole length but also to give
a large surplus for duty at other points,
or in the field.
Some members of the Committee re
main here through the hol'days. The
Committee of Ways and Means have un
der consideration more particularly a
tax on tobacco, petroleum and distilled
spirits. The tax on tobacco will be
placed on the manufactured article, to
what extent is a matter of discussion;
but all members favor a high rate. Some
members favor the putting of special
as high as double the present tax. The
question as to petroleum, is whether it
should be put on the crude or manufac
tured article. The policy will be to avoid
taxation on the raw material if possible.
Gen. Kelly has advised the War De
partment of the safe return of the sever
al eolumns sent out to intercept commu
nications with East Tennessee. They
brought in over four hundred prisoners
and a large amount of property. The
Richmond papers are disgusted with
the failure of the rebel plans to capture
these forces, and say their escape is suffi
cient evidence of the necessity of reor
ganizing their cavalry.
An expedition to co-operate with Gen.
Averill, consisting of two regiments of
infantry, 400 cavalry and a battery of
six guns, the forces numbering one thou
sand four hundred iu all, under com
mand of Col. G. D. Wells of- the 34th
Mass. infantry, returned to Harpers Fer
ry without the loss of a man, after pene
trating to Harrisonburg, where Averill
had finished his work. After Wells had
accomplished his diversion strictly ac
cording to orders, he found himself con
fronted by from 7,000 to 10,000 of Lee's
forces, with Gen. Kosser's brigade and
part of Stuart's cavalry in his rear at
Front Royal.
By clever strategy and forced marches
he escaped the former, and averted the
latter forces, and reached his post with
his men and munitions unharmed.
So desperate at one time seemed the
chances of the expedition, that the rebels
in Winchester offered bets that not a man
would return.
One hundred rebel prisoners were
safely brought off.

our iron-clad force increased by three or
four new monitors, we will be prepared
to take advantage of the most healthful
and pleasant part of the season. Let
us hope if Grant does not steal a march
on us by one of his famous rear attack,
that Charleston will then fall. In the
meantime, if we cannot look for an im
mediate and decisive result here no great
disaster need be apprehended General
Gillmore's position is impregnable. The
Monitor Lehigh, by the time this reaches
you, will have completed the repairs
rendered necessary by the hammering
she received while agronnd. The Pa
tapsco has nearly completed her repairs,
and will relieve the Nantucket at War
saw Sound. Both the Patapsco and Le
high have been provided with an extra
deck plate that will add to their invulnerability.
