As our chronicle closes, about Christmas, events of great importance are soon expected. A vast army, in three or four divisions, is moving down through Tennessee and Mississippi; a powerful gunboat fleet is coöperating in the river; Gen. Banks's famous expedition is probably about landing at New Orleans or in that neighborhood; Gen. Burnside's army is almost ready for another movement; Gen. Foster's operations in North Carolina have created a diversion of the rebel forces; away in the extreme West, Gen. Herron's victory at Prairie Grove has broken the rebel power in Arkansas; the troubles in the Cabinet have been arranged, and the Secretaries hold their places; and, finally, it is understood that President LINCOLN will stand firmly by his PROCLAMATION OF FREEDOM TO THE SLAVES OF REBELS on and after the 1st day of January, 1863, the only point of doubt being as to what States or parts of States he will screen from the operation of the law.
