FOREIGN NEWS !
By the arrival of the clipper ship King Fisher, Capt.
Freeman, in 18 days from San Francisco, we are in re
ceipt of eastern dates to Nov. 26, (telegraphic). We
clip the following from our eastern exchanges :
Washixgto.v, November 22d. The Sfor contains
the following : The impression prevailed yesterday
and to-day that Eirly and Makall's divisions uf Jack
son's corps were advanced upon Washington, and had
arrived at Leesburg. We know, if Jackson comes
this way with less than 100,000 men, Heintzelman
will not let him back again.
Washington, November 23. Reports from corres
pondents at Aquia Creek have been received, dated
noon to-day. There had been no bombardment up
to that time, and no attempt had been made to cross
over from Falmouth. Wagons were still leaving
Fredericksburg constantly, going South, and the
rebel cavalry were seen riding through thestreets.
The rebels still have a battery of three guns near
Fredericksburg and four below it.
New York, November 24. A special dispatch to
the Herald says the rebels in occupation of Freder
icksburg demanded further time to consider the ques
tion of its surrender. On Friday night, after an in
terview with the civil authorities, (Jen. Sumner in
formed them that if they had any fun her communi
cation to present. Gen. Patrick would hear them on
Saturday ; accordingly the Mayor and Common Coun
cil came over, accompanied by (Jen. Kershaw and
Col. Blund. Those officers claimed that the civil
authorities could make no propositions unless the
same were accepted by them. The civil authorities
then asked an extension of time for the removal of
the women and children, alleging that our artillery
had frightened off their trains, and that it would be
impossible for a train M leave before night. The city
was also said to be destitute of other means of trans
portation. Their request was oomplied with, and the
time extended until 11 o'clock on Sunday morning.
Washington, November 24th. An officer who left
Burnside's army at 1 o'clock yesterday, reports that
the situation of aifairs is unchanged. The rebels h id
19 guns of large calibre in position at and near Fred
ericksburg. Secretary Chase's report will undoubtedly contain
an urgent recommendation, supported by elaborate
argument, to Congress to take measures f r the sub
stitution of Government paper for bank currency, by
taking the latter and making a provision lor the cir
culation thiough the banks of the former.
St. Louis, November 24th. The Democrat has in
formation that the rebels are now busy fortifying
Port Hudson, 150 miles above New Orleans. The
same engineer who laid out the works at Yickshurg
has completed a plan of fortifications at Port Hud
son. Ten or twelve guns are now in position. It is
thought that within two weeks this point will be as
strong as Vicksburg.
The rebels are now running steamboats from Port
Hudson to Lake Providence. Their boats are now
running also on the Red River, bringing immense
supplies of cattle from Texas, and large quantities of
salt from a point on the Red River 50 miles above its
mouth. It is stated that these works produce 10,0)0
bushels daily, all of which is sent east via Vicksburg.
One object of fortifying Port Hudson is to prevent
the Federals from reaching these works.
Fortress Monroe, November 23 A Richmond
paper says that nearly $100,000 worth of tobacco has
been destroyed by the Confederates at Fredericks
burg. The same paper states that Gen. Lee has or
dered all the women and children to leave that place,
as he has determined to hold it with his force.
Gen. Longatreet assumed command last Wednes
day. Aquia Creek, Ya., November 24. Reports from
ilurnside's army to-dty represent everything quiet
and unchanged at Fredericksburg. It has not yet
been shelled, for reasons satisfactory to the command
ing gi-nerals. Preparations for an advance are pro
gressing. The enemy is still in force on the opposite
side of the river, and improving their time for a vig
orous resistance.
Washington, November 25th. A gentleman who
arrived in this city under parole, represents Jackson
still in the valley, with a large force. Our pickets
are stationed on the Potomac, watching the move
ments of the rebel pickets and the reserves. The
Potomac is still fordable at certain places between
Harper's Ferry and Williamsport.
The Petersburg Express of the 21st says it seems
now pretty well ascertained that Gen. Burnside has
withdrawn the bulk of his forces from the Potomac
to the R-ppahannock, and presumes that a corres
ponding movement has been made by Gen. Lee. The
Fredericksburg route to Richmond, either feignedly
or really, has been selected by the enemy as the new
theatre of operations. Gen. Lee has been trying to
get a light oat of them for weeks, but in vain If the
enemy should really make an attempt t get to Rich
mond, there will necessarily be a bloodier battle than
any yet fought, but wheu or where it will be is a
conjecture.
Je Davis has ordered Gen. Holmes, commanding
Trans-Mississippi Department, to inquire into the
truth of the statements published some weeks since,
in regard to the hanging of ten Confederates in Mis
souri, by Gen. McNeil. If found true, he is to de
mand the immediate surrender of McNeil to the Con
federate authorities. If this is not complied with, he
is ordered to hang the first ten United States officers
who fall into his hands.
New York, November 25. Exchange heavy and

Baltmob K.November 26th. The American's Har
per's Ferry correspondent says : General Kelly sent
scouts from New Creek on Monday. They captured
twelve rebel pickets within a few miles of Winches
ter. The prisoners say that Jackson had started with
his whole force for Richmond via Front Royal, leav
ing only a regiment of cavalry at Winchester.
General Butler had seized and closed the Bank of
New Orleans, for sending nearly $600,000 specie to
the rebel government.
New Yoek, November 26. The Times' Falmouth
(Ya.) correspondent, writing yesterday, saya : The
rebels are preparing vigorously to dispute the pas
sage of our troops across the river at Fredericksburg.
The garrison, which was small a week ago, has been
re nforced by divisions under Longstreet and Hill,
:.nd is now estimated to number 75,000 men. For
midable batteries have been planted for their protec
tion. Without some brilliant strategy on our part a
severe engagement will be necessary before dislodg
ing the enemy.
Advio-8 from Mexico report that the French have
about 2 1,000 troops landed, and that the winter cam
paign would begin about December 1.. The Mexicans
hope to oppose them with double that number, and
are-determined to resist to the lastoonfident of success.
Later European Intelligence.
DATES TO SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16.
The English Government has dissented from the
French proposal for mediation (in American affairs.)
The London Gazette publishes Earl Russell's official
reply, dated Nov. 13th. It recapitulates the Circular
of Drouyn De l'Huys proposing a mediation. It recog
nizes the humane views and benevolent intentions of
the Emperor, and observes that the concurrence of
Russia would be expressly desirable, but that up to
the present time the Russian Government had not
agreed to actually co-operate, although it may sup-
Eirt the endeavors of England and France. Earl
ussell then commends the decision of Her Majesty's
Government as follows :
After weighing all the information received from
America, the Government is led to the conclusion
that there is no ground, at the present moment, to
hope that the Federal Government would accept the
proposal suggested ; and a refusal from Washington
at the present time would prevent any speedy re
newal of offers of the Government. Therefore, he
thinks that it is better to watch carefully the progress
of opinion in America, and if, as there appears rea
sons to hope, it may be found to have undergone, or
may undergo an) change, this Government may then
avail themselves of such a change, to offer their
friendly counsel, with a greater prospect than now
exists of its being accepted by the two contending
parties. Her Majesty's Government will communi
cate to the French Government any intelligence they
may receive from Washington or Richmond bearing
on this important subject.
The Paris Moniteur says that the answer of Eng
land and Russia is an adjournment of the American
question of mediation. It adds : " If our informa
tion be correct, the hesitation of England and Russia
nearly reaches its limit."
Six Days Later.
By the clipper ship Cycjae, Capt Ingersoll, in 11
days from San Francisco, papers were received at the
P. C. Adv. Office to December 3d from San Francisco.
From an Extra, issued by that office, we gather : that
Congress met on the first of December. The Presi
dent's Message was telegraphed through to San Fran
cisco, and published there on the 3d inst. Its main
argument is upon a gradual emancipation of slavery,
to be compensated for by U. S. bonds. Nothing further
from the armies in Virginia, unless a rumor that Burn
side also had been removed, and the command given to
Hooker.
Killias; Rata. -A Navel Trap.
A resident of Brooklyn is vexed with an in
creasing family of rats that seem to grow fat on
arsenic and rat exterminators. He doesn't like
rats, and refers his case to the Sundaj Times.
That journal recommends a trap made as follows :
" Take a mackerel barrel, for instance, and fill
it to about one-third its height with water. Place
a log endwise in the water so that one end of it
will just remain above the surface. Make the
head of the barrel a little too small to fit, and
suspend it by two pins to the inside of the top of
the barrel, so that it will hang as if on a pivot
and easily tip by touching either side. On this
head, thus suspended, secure a piece of savory
meat. The first rat that scents it, will, to get at
the meat, leap on the barrel head. The head will
tilt or tip, precipitate him into the water, and
resume its position. The rat in the water will
swim to tho log, get on the end of it, and squeal
vigorously. His cries will brjajg other rats, all of
whom will be tilted into tlj water, and all of
them will fight for the only dry spot in it, viz.,
the end of the log. As only one nit can hold it,
the victor will drown all the rest, and can, in the
morning, be drowned himself. We have seen
twenty rats caught in one night by such a trick."
Slartliag Diseavery.
During the sitting of a court in Connecticut,
not long ago, on a very cold night, a crowd of law
yers had collected around an open fire that blazed
cheerfully on the hearth in the bar-room, when a
traveller entered, benumbed with cold ; bot no one
moved to give him room to warm his shins, so he
leaned against the wall in the buck part of the
room.
Presently a smart young limb of the law ad
dressed him, and the following dialogue took
place :
" You look like a traveller."
" Wall, I am ; I'm all the way from Wisconsin,
afoot, at any rate."
" From Wisconsin ! What a distance to come
on a pair of legs ! "
" Wall, I done it, anyhow."
Did you ever pass through h 1 in any of
your travels ? "
" Yes, sir, I have been through the outskirts."
" I thought likely. Well, what are the manners
and customs there ? Some of us would like to
know."
' " Oh, you'll find them much the same as in this
place the lawyers sit nearest the fire."
Ax Early Newspapir. A correspondent of the
.lthenttum writes : " In the catalogue of the Libri
reserved collection of Ancient Manuscript and
Printed Books, the sale of which commenced on
Friday, the 25th July, there is an article which is
certainly even more curious than the catalogue in
timates. It is No. 32 in the list : Newe Zeitung
aus Uispanifn and Italien,' or New Tidings from
Spain and Italy, black letter, four leaves 4 to,
Mense Ftbrxtario, 1534. The description is as fol
lows : A Gazette of excessive rarity, which ap
pears to have been printed at Nurenberg. It con
tains the first news of the discovery of Pern, and
has remained unknown to all the bibliographers we
have been able to consult. In it is announced that
the Governor of Panumya (Panama), in the Indies,
has written to His Majesty (the Emperor Charles
Y.) that a ship had arrived from Peru with a let
ter from the Regent Francisco Piscario (Pizarro),
stating that he had disembarked and seized the
country; that with 200 Spaniards (infantry and
cavalry) he had embarked; that he had arrived at
the lands of a great lord named Cassiko, who had
refused peace and attacked him ; that the Spaniards
had been victorious, and hod seized 500 Castilloes
(pieces of gold) and 20,000 marks of silver; that
they had drawn two millions in gold from the said
Cassiko, &c, tc. The earliest known document
relative to the conquest of Peru hitherto known is

What He WaaU Like.
As Deacon Adams, on an extremely call
morning in the old times, was riding by the house
of neighbor Potter, the latter was chopping wood.
The usual salutations were exchanged, the severity
the weather briefly discussed, and the horseman
made demonstrations of passing on, when his
neighbor detained him with, ' Don't be in a harry,
Deacon. Wonuldn't you like a glass of old
Jamaica, this morning! " " Thank you, kindly,"
said the old gentleman, at the same time "be?
ginning to dismount with all the deliberation
becoming a Deacon, " I don't care if do. " "Ah,
don't trouble yourself to get off, Deacon," said
the neighbor ; I merely asked for information;
We haven't a drop in the boose." The Deacon
sighed, mounted bis horse and rode off. -Anuricon
