Kentucky Legislature pats Mr.
Lincoln on the back, and asks him to dis
pense with Secretary Cameron. The re
quest is modest, but will scarcely be com
plied ——^—
Some little debate was provoked in
the Senate, yesterday,by Gen. Phelps’s Ship
Island proclamation. Saulsbury, of Dela
ware, wanted the Government to wash its
hands of the responsibility; other Senators
thought there was more need for the Ad
ministration to define its policy, so clearly
that our Generals might be relieved in the
future, of bothering their heads over pro
clamations. That’s just what is wauted.
FSr~T.bc House yesterday adopted a reso
lution, offered by Mr. Julian, of Indiana,
instructing the Committee on the Judiciary
to report amendments to the Fugitive
Slave law so as to require ’the claimants of
runaway property to make clear proof, as
a condition precedent, that they are them
selves loyal Kentucky gagged a little at
the proposition, and so did some of the
pro-slavery Unionists, but the House or
dered the amendments by two to one.
Gen. Yielc’s expedition from Port
Royal, "which liud got all ready, "was finally
abandoned; but in place thereof we have
advices of a movement of troops up coun
try, towards the line of the Charleston and
Savannah, railroad. This party had a
Blight skirmish with 1,500 “ defenders ” of
the soil, and drove them back. Four hun
dred thousand pounds of cotton (or 800
bales, an ordinary shipment,) had been
picked and was ready to. be sent to the
market Gen. Sherman has ordered the
newspaper correspondents to leave.
THE MECHANICS’ FtJSILEEBS,
Wc Lave reason to believe that in the
public mind there rests an unjust imputa
tion upon the character of one of the finest
regiments that lias ever been enrolled in
the Northwest. Wc refer to the Me
chanics’ Fusileers, enlisted under Colonel
J. hi. "Wilson. It is very easy to brand
men mutinous and dismiss their
case as under the head of disorderly and
demoralized, but those who know this reg
iment best, are also the most firmly con
vinced that they arc the sufferers from a
great wrong, and so deserving redress.
What are the facts? They were enrolled
upon the pretence, studiously kept up by
lying handbills, that they were to serve in
an advanced grade of military duty, and
. receive extra pay. The falsehood, for it
was no less, began in the first dispatch
es from Washington, and was maintained
for months in newspaper notices, and
the printed and verbal issues from recruit
ing stations. These men were summoned
by companies from several Stales, to form
an independent regiment in the United
Stales service. They were to receive sev
eral dollars per month more than the pay
of infantry. They were called as mechan
ics and artisans to make such qualities
valuable pecuniarily.
This fraud is maintained and tfifo
•expectation kept alive until the very hour
when they arc to he drawn up in line be
fore the mustering officer of the State,•when
they arc told that they are to he attached
to the infantry service of Illinois. Against
this they make earnest protestations, and
refuse the oath, and under this show of
facts, who will blame them? It is not
fhp.t they are disloyal, that they are un
willing to serve their country, or that they
feel it derogatory to go into service from
Illinois, hut simply because they enlisted
under different prospects and promises for
a class of service with greater emolument
and peculiar distinction.
Kow the question is, what is to dc done?
*Wc have no fears for tlie result. Bad as
the case is, the end •will be that these men
■will serve the country-with distinction,but
il will rest with the liighcr authorities to
redress tlie grievances of the regiment,
first by disgracing and removing the offi
cers who have been guilty of this fraud- If
Col. "Wilsons authority to raise a regiment
did not designate specifically that his men
were to become “Mechanics’ Fusileers” at
the pay of sl7 per month, he had no right
to promise it to them. Here was where
the wrong began, and on this it was carried
through to the end. a lamentable one of
disorganization and discontent. "We have
had too many such instances, and an ex
ample is called for. It is no slight crime
of false pretences that has made this fine
regiment its victims. "We prescribe no
remedy nor recommendation, aware, as we
are, that justice will be done these men by
the Department, even if it be impossible to
enroll them specially as tbey bud reason to
■expect, but let those who defrauded them
sutler the merited punishment The ser
vice will he the better lor the timely de
capitation of such officers.
BrBKSIDFS EXPEDITION,
At length there arc Indications that Gen.
Burnside's expedition is on the eve of de
parture from its rendezvous at Annapolis.
Tiiis expedition commenced to be formed
six weeks ago, or immediately upon the de
parture of Gen. Sherman for Port Royal,
and, as was popularly understood,was to fol
low it down the Southern coast "Whether
this original plan has been changed or not
does not appear; but it has been hinted
that Burnside is to run up the Rappahan
nock river, to some point between Freder
icksburg and Richmond, and there estab
lish. himself (and “ fortify”) in the rear of
the enemy's position at Manassas. The
fact- that his naval equipment partakes
largely of flat-boats, and vessels of a draft
suitable to inland waters, would indicate
this. However, time will show. The ex
pedition consists of the following troops:
CoMtwaim.—Brig. Gen. A E. Buiwsidb.
23d Massachusetts... Col. John Kurtz.
•24th Massachusetts.... Col. Thomas G. Stevenson.
23th Massachusetts —Col. Edwin Upton.
2Tth Massachusetts...-CoLHoraceC.Lee.
Slh Connecticut Col. Edward Harland.
Hth Connecticut Col. Ch&s. L. EoseelL
lllb Connecticut CoL Thos.ILC. Kingsbury.
Slst New York CoL EdwardFerrero.
53d Hcvr York CoL L. J. D’Eplneofl.
51st Pennsylvania.. .CoL J. T. Harlranft,
Cth IL L Battery,... Lieut. Geo. C. Harkness.
The- troops form two brigades, com-
mended by Gen. John G. Foster and CoL
Bariand. The naval brigade (marines,
•etc.,) is commanded by CoL Wm. A. How-
The fleet is commanded by Capt.
■Samuel F. Hazard, U. .S. X. There are
some thirty vessels in all, with a countless
number of fia£boats. Tbe expedition is
hardly second in magnitude and importance
to that of Sherman and Dupont. We hope
it may prove even better than that in re
■suits.
\y e referred in our last issue to the
conference* between President Lincoln and a
delegation from the New York Chamber of
Commerce, relative to the better protection
of onr merchant marine abroad. The confer
ence was terminated on the ISth.
The Navy Department has sent orders to
have the Constellation, at Portsmouth, and
lie Macedonian, at Boston, when they shall
have been refitted, to cruise in foreign seas,
for the protection of onr commerce from
privateers. Both are sailing vessels. Similar
orders will be sent to the Wyoming in. the
Pacific squadron, to cmise on the coast of
China.
VOLUME XV.
The Cabinet and the Ensllah Qnos-
tlon,
[Washington Dispatch to N. T. Times, 18th.]
A Cabinet meeting was held to-day, at
■which the English question was discussed—of
course informally, as the nature of the dis
patches brought by the royal messenger have
not been divulged- There was hut one senti
ment prevalent* and that was that no quarrel
with England must be permitted to interfere
at this moment to stay the reduction of the
Southern rebels. The Government is probably
satisfied that the clamor for a war with Eng
land originates with, and is propagated by,
sympathizers with the Southern rebellion. It
k'nows that nothing would so gratify the reb
els; would vanishing confidence,
and relnvigorate them to redoubled efforts at
defence, as the news that England is to be per
mitted to come to their rescue. It believes it
has no right to give new life to the rebellion
by entering upon another and vaster quarrel,
which would at the same time increase
tenfold the burdens upon the people of
the North; and it naturally hesitates to adopt
a policy which would cany joy to every traitor
in the country, and weigh down to poverty
the loyal and law-observing citizen. I have
the best authority for saying the demands of
England will be met in a spirit of conciliation,
which will at once refute the calumny tliat
Mr. Seward or any other member of the Cabi
net has bten eager to provoke a foreign war.
The intelligence received by the Jura, that the
dispatches with which Slidell and Mason were
intrusted reached England, notwithstanding
their arrest, renders the question as to the
disposition of the persons of the rebel envoys
one of secondary moment, and a most inade
quate one on which to base a great interna
tional struggle. It will be home in mind that
the Administration is still uncommitted on
the Trent business. The subject was not men
tioned in the President’s Message; and the
language of Secretary TV dies, in Ms report and
his letter to Capt. Wilkes, are rather profes
sional and personal than diplomatic, and in no
degree bind the State Department. Of one
thing the public may rest assured, the subject
will not be settled without an important cur
tailment of the English pretensions to enforce
a right of search, which she finds it so unpal
atable to concede to other powers.
A Reduced Price.
And thus must be Gen. Price of Missouri,
who will want'his “ Fijiy Thousand-Men”
more than ever since the splendid achieve
ment of Gen. Pope. By three brilliant move
ments, with scarcely a parallel in the history
of tliis war, the rebel cause in Missouri has
received apowerful shock. • Almost simultane
ously Col. Davis takes the camp at Milford,
Gen. Pope strikes a blow at Clinton, and
the Kansas boys sweep across the river and
blot out two sccesh towns. The footing up
shows 2,300 prisoners, 1000 horses, and a large
amount of arms, ammunition, and supplies.
It will be something from which Price will
not soon recover, and not at all this winter.
Wc have had nothing like It since the gallant
Lyon.

pT Potter’s Homestead Bill was defeated
in the House on the 18th, by a fatal collission
with Morrill’s Bill donating public lands to
the several Stales and territories for the estab
lishment of colleges for the benefit of agri
culture and the mechanic arts. Although not
directly antagonistic, the passage of one of
these bills would defeat the other, and under
existing circumstances both may be regarded
as killed. That of Mr. Potter was designed
to carry out one of the most prominent fea
tures of the Chicago platform. In the bill, as
reported, there arc some new features. It ex
tends the benefit of the Homestead bill to all
who perform military service under the procla*
tion of the President of the 15th of April
last, or any act of Congress during the
existing war, and also to all militia volunteers
or State troops of any State or Territory per
forming service in aid of the Federal Govern
ment during the same period, and to teamsters
and wagon masters employed under compe
tent authority In military service, and gives the
same privilege, in lien of prize money and ex
tra allowances, to all persons performing ser
vice in the Navy of the United States during
the war or any foreign war occurring within
the period. In lieu of bounty lands it gives
to three months volunteers of all grades the
free homestead and thirty dollars in money,
and to six months volunteers one hundred dol
lars in addition to the homestead. In all
cases being held as a prisoner of war to be
reckoned as actual service.
Among the passengers by the Europa
was the ex-President of Mexico, Gen. Miguel
Miramon, accompanied by his wife and five
gentlemen of his staff They are occupying
apartments at the Metropolitan Hotel, New
York, where they will, it is expected, remain
for about two weeks. The return of cx-Prcsi
dent Miramon to tliis side of the Atlantic will
doubtless create much surprise among all par
ties. It was at one time reported, and at the
same time very generally believed, that ,he
would leave Europe on board one of the war
vessels composing the Anglo-Spauish expedi
tion, which is now on its way to Mexico. The
General's movements arc doubtless all the re
sult of mature deliberation. He will sail for
Havana in about two weeks, and thence pro
ceed to join the expedition off Vera Cruz.
The perils a war lime entails even npon
peaceable people is well illustrated by the sur
pi ise caused to an innocent steamboat captain,
in New York harbor on the 18th. As the
transport steamer Brunswick, having on
board the Eleventh Connecticut regiment, was
proceeding down the harbor last Tuesday
night, on her way to Annapolis, the revenue
cutter fired a blank shot to bring her to. This
warning was not heeded by the pilot, where
upon the cutter sent np signal rockets, and
when the steamer had reached the Narrow, a
shot was fired from Fort Hamilton, striking
the supports of the steamer’s walking-beam,
and, in the rebound, falling into a state-room,
which, fortunate.y, was not occupied at the
time. The captain’s excuse was he was not
posted as to what he should do.
£gT On the 18th, one Thomas Hewitt, who
run a ducking boat up and down the Potomac,
was seized, with his vessel, by Lieut. X J. C.
Williams, of the flotilla. On the boat was
found a rebel mail containing spy communi
cations. Some were written in cypher, others
had only the names of the writers and others
in Alexandria referred to,thus written, Hewitt
wes placed under arrest. This exhibition of
rebel enterprise in Alexandria excites muchin
tercst.
ggy General Phelps, of Ship Island, is, we
understand, a native of Vermont, was gradu
ated at West Point, and has served for many
years in the army in the Southern States and
elsewhere. In the Mexican war as a captain,
he distinguished himself by his braver.*, and
won commendation from General Scott. He
has through life been noted lor his oddities.
In that point his reputation is maintained
now.
f3T Got. Curtin of Pennsylvania, is about
to issue a proclamation, calling upon the citi
zens to form military organizations for State
defence. He has bad all tbc State arms col
lected, which arc being repaired at Lancaster
at the rate of 1,200 per week. He will shortly
visit 'Washington to confer with the National
authorities for the defence of Delaware Elver
and Lake Erie.
Me. Chase and the New York B^n'ks.—
The World of the 19th says there is no doubt 1
that everything will be arranged to the satis
faction of Mr. Chase and the bank managers.
There is complete accord between them in
their desire to do that which is best for the
nation. At a x>rcvious meeting it was agreed
by the associate banks that all the six per
cent, bonds were to remain in the hands of a
committee, appointed by the banks,who would
fix the price, and offer them for sale on ac
count of the Associate banks. Mr. Chase con
tradicts the report that the Government in
tended to prohibit the export of specie. The
banks have all along declined to take special
deposits.
l3?“Thc Washington dispatch to the N. T.
Herald of the 19th, says:
It is a fact that the Government is not
alarmed about the Mason and Slidell cm
brogl o. From the numerous dispatches that
have been received here to-day, there is a fear
expressed among the people in different parts
of tbe country that the' Government may be
induced by some diplomacy to give the tial
tors up. in order to dispel this feeling, I will
venture to assert that T have the highcsWu
thoritv for saying that the possibility of thsir
surrender, under any circumstances, does not
frcxc czisL The President is firm and immov
able on this point.
THE WAR CLOUD IN ENGLAND.
Divided Opinions of the Eng
' hsh Press.
The steamship Jura, from Liverpool on the
sth inst. and Londonderry on the 6th, arrived
at Portland on Wednesday morning, bringing
one day’s later news from Europe.
The London press is occupied with discus
sions of the Mason and Slidell affair, and the
difficulties which the seizure is likely to oc
casion. Literal extracts from these articles
are published below. It will be seen that
while the Times and Daily ITeios continue to
indulge in fierce invective, the Star and the
Manchester letter-writers take more common
sense views of the ‘Dent business, and the ne
cessity of moderate counsels is already begin-
ning to be urged.
The following is the leading editorial article
of the London Times of Nov. 29th, demanding
the restoration of Mason and Slidell and an
apology from our Government:
“Wherever two or three men met together
yesterday the single topic of conversation was
the recent outrage that has been offered by
the Federal Government of America to the
British flag. That it was an outrage all must
admit. The manner was one of unusual Insult.
The shotted guns, the swarming boats’ crews,
the violence, the refusal to afford any reason
ior the seizure of the passengers taken away,
were all unusual, and, as we believe, unprece
dented in cases of the exercise of that right of
search which undoubtedly belongs to a bellig
erent nation. . However clear the right may be
to search neutral merchant ships in,time of
war, this is a right always odious in its exer
cise, and which has always been jealously
watched by those who have been the subjects
ofit. Nine-tenths of the public who read yes
terday of the attack of the American frigate
upon our mail steamer were, perhaps, less
startled by the fact itself than they were by
the subsequent intelligence which it was our
duty to afford, that there was a prima facie
belligerent right in the Federal Government
wMch might justify the act of visit and of
search.
[The Times proceeds to argue the law point
at great length and comes to the conclusion
that the law is entirely against the Americans.
It winds up its diatribe with this warlike de
mand ;j
“ Such being the legal hearings of this out
rageous proceeding, the question remains—
what steps we must take to remove the stain
which has been cast npon our flag. When iu
former days the British ship of war Leopard
unlawfully seized deserters on board the
Chesapeake, the British Government, on com
plaint being made, disavowed the act, recalled
lie admiral from the and expressed
regret for the bloodshed which had been oc
casioned. On a more recent occasion, when
the Prince de Joinville forcibly took a pilot
out of a British ship, the King of the French
felt so acutely the wrong whichhad been done
In his name that he disavowed the deed, and,
we believe, wrote an autograph letter express
ing his regret. Among civilized nations, and
in countries where ahighsense of honorrules,
the men who hold the Government In their
hands think it is as essential to their own fame
as to that of those whom they have offended,
that reparation should be swift and ample.
What the Government of the Federal
Stales will do, remains to be seen.
The Cabinet meets to-day to consider
what action shall be taken upon
the opinion of the law ofiiccrs. We do not
wish to speculate as to what steps they may
consider necessary. If, however, it shall ap
pear to them so clear as it appears to us that
Messrs. Mason and Slidell were wrongfully
taken when under the protection of the British
flag, there would seem to be but one reparation.
■uhieJi is adequate to the affront. They must be
irsicred Kith a sufficient apology.”
The Morning Post (ministerial organ) says:
“ Under these circumstances, we need hard-
.ly point out that the Government will loose
no lime in seeking for Hie prompt and com
plete reparation which it is its duty to require.
In tins course it will assuredly receive the
■unanimous approbation of public opinion. In
a question such as this, where our feelings of
hospitality and our national dignity are so
wantonly attacked, men of all parties will
unite to' support the government in the vindi
cation oflegal right and the honor of England. 1
"We arc unwilling to place the worst construc
tion upon the outrage committed by Captain
Wilkes, and to look upon It as an intentional
affront on the part of the United States. We
vet hope that that Government will at once
disavow the act of their officer, make suitable
apologies for it, restore the persons of the
gentlemen arrested, and, in fact, make every
compensation in their power.
• After the violent diatribes of the Tima and
Daily AtiW, it is refreshing to find these com
momsense observations in. the editorial col
umns of the London Star:
“ Within twenty-four hours after the receipt
in London of the tidings brought by the La
Plata the public mind had been calmed by the
recollection of these two or three facts: First,
that the British flag, however dignified and
powerful, has no special privilege exempting
it from the ordinary obligations of internation
al law*; secondly, that ttTe British Government
has invariably maintained the right of search
ing for and seizing, on board neutral vessels,
deserters from its sendee or abettors of its
enemies; and thirdly, that the American com
mander has taken only such passengers by
the Trent as were notoriously in the employ
of the Confederate States. The remembrance
of these points compels the subsidence of au
ger, shuts out the imputation of lawless vio
lence, sets aside considerations of the wisdom
or courtesy of the act, and binds ns to await
the authoritative judgment of our Crown law
yers upon an event as strictly within their
province as that of any question ever submitted
to the Court ol Chancery or the Judicial Com
mittee of the Privy Council.
We have no doubt that the opinion of the
highest legal functionaries in the realm will
more than sustain the lawfulness of what has
been done by the Federal commander. Look
ing at the history of modern maritime warfare,
the dicta of the latest writers on international
law, and the terms of the Queen’s proclama
tion, wc are forced to believe that the Trent
was liable to far more than the indignity suf
fered. The United States has too much rea
son to know that the neutral flag does not
cover all that sails.
The British political weeklies, the Examiner,
Economist and Spectator , arc apt to take a
graver view of important affairs than the dai
lies, and their opinions, less linstily written,
arc commonly more ably fortified with author
ities. It is curious to remark, therefore, that
the Economist can find no other ground on
which to condemn the act of Capt. Wilkes ex
cept that already broached by the Times, It
insists that “the captain of a man of war has
no power to adjudicate on such questions as
the present,” and that, therefore, the San
Jacinto should have made prize of the Trent
and brought her into an American port to
‘ lave the case decided before a proper court.
Colonel Mulligan In New fork.
[From the N.Y. Times, 18lh.]
Col. Mulligan, the heroic defender of Lex
ington. recciVcd a warm welcome at the hands
of the citizens of New York yesterday. While
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, he was waited upon
by many of onr prominent public men and
cordially greeted. About noon he was es
corted to the Governor’s Room, by a delega
tion of the Common Connell, consisting of
Aldermen Cornell, Boole and Dayton, and
Councilmen Hazclton, Gross and Ryan, who
had been appointed for that parpose. The
Colonel was formally welcomed to the city by
Mayor Wood, who felicitously alluded to the
distinguished services of the city’sguest, on
bchall of the Union cause, in the West. Col-
Mulligan responded, modestly expressing the
hope that he should do something to compen
sate for the high honor paid him by the city
of New York, and the belief that the cause of
the Union and the Constitution would yet be
triumphant-. ....
Col. Mulligan was then stationed In the
usual location for the City's guests under sim
ilar circumstances—the vicinity of the bronze
statue of Washington —and the people, who
were waiting in large numbers outside, to
shake him by the hand, were gradually admit
ted. All departments of the City Government,
and all classes of onr citizens, were represented
in the crowd that ponred through the room
for an hour. Many wore obliged to leave dis
appointed.
In his lecture last evening at Cooper Insti
tute, for the benefit of sufferers by the Irish
famine, CoL Mulligan gave thrilling descrip
tions of the individual bravery of many of the
garrison of that doomed town during those
terrible nine days’ siege, the taking down of
the flags that were nailed to the flagstaff
[cheers] and the scenes during their captivity.
The entire narrative abounded m passages of
eloquence, of humor and of patriotism, rarely
equaled. It was delivered in an off-hand, al
most conversational style, and at the same
1 time characterized by declamatory excellence.
* fg* The rebel cabal at Richmond arc in
great alarm because of the demonstrations
Trying in Kentucky to push a strong National
column into Tennessee. Jeff. Davis and his
associates fed that to he their point of great
est and most immediate danger. They admit,
among themselves, that their are 50,000 loyal
fighting men in East Tennessee, who will rise
and throw off the traitors* yoke the instant
that our army penetrates to their locality;
andihat once accomplished, all the rebel de
fences in Virginia are turned and rendered
useless.'
yg*A letter, received at Washington on the
IStb, from a mercantile firm in Liver
pool, which Unfi made a large shipment of
arms, states that “all the arms bad been taken
from the vessels. Sixty thousand that were
to be shipped have been retained. No more
will be permitted to be shipped.’*!

[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.]
■Washington, Decembers*), 1861.
The war cloud is blowing over. It is be
lieved by well informed persons that the tenor
of the dispatch from England, at least of
Lyons’s first note, is much less belligcrant
than was anticipated from the tone of the
British Press and the language of private let
ters. The demand is not peremptory,
hut will lead to negotiations, and may
result in arbitration. The prospect of an am
icable and honorable adjustment of all pend
ing questions looks now excellent. A letter
from a high English quarter, received by the
Europa, says that the war feeling of England
will be more surely counteracted by emanci
pation and the arming of the slaves than in
any other way. Johny Bull now sees no dif
ference, save one of degree, between the con
tending parties in the matter of slavery.
NEW TEEA-TX WITH MEXICO.
The Senate Committee on Foreign Allairs
has the skeleton of a treaty with Mexico, sent
home by Corwin, under advisement, and will
probably act upon It immediately. Should it
be confirmed it may have an important
bearing upon matters in the Gulf of Mex
ico, whither an effort will be made to
transmit it in season to withdraw England and
• France from the alliance, and leave Spain to
fight Mexico alone. The treaty provides for
the payment, to satisfy English and French
creditors, of eleven millions to the Mexican
Government, which in return promises im
pel taut commercial privileges to the United
States, together with the payment of our out

Washington, Dec. 20. —At one o’clock yes
terday, Lord Lyons called on the Secretary of
State, .who was at the CapltoL He called
again at three o’clock. The communication
which he made is as yet a secret. No Cabinet
meeting has been held on the subject. The
general feeling of the city is less warlike than
at first, and the people talk coolly of surren
dering the emissaries, If it can be done without
a sacrifice of honor, rather than engage at this
time in a foreign war. The report that mem
bers of the Cabinet take a similar dew of the
question gains currency and finds bnt
while It Is not true that such a conclusion has
been arrived at in Cabinet meeting on the one
hand, and It is untrue, on the other hand, that
the determination not to surrender under any
circumstances or for any considerations is
absolute, but while the Government will do
nothing to provoke hostilities, it will guard
well the national honor. Should arbitration
be proposed, it may be accepted. Should a
sufficient consideration for the surrender of
Mason and Slidcllbe offered, It may be made.
“ TO BE OB NOT TO BE.”
The Englishmen here are confident of a war
between the two countries. This opinion,
however, is based upon no official communi
cation, and while it excites some unpleasant
feeling carries no weight. Several English
men, now serving in our army,—amonglhem
Col. Havelock and Capt. Stewart—have, it is
declared, signified their intention to resign,
should further complication ensue. In other
cases, extraordinary and painful evidence of
sudden hostility to our cause has been shown.
The general feeling, however, appears to be of
sincere regret at what they regard the inevita
ble issue.
Mr. Adams, in his communication to Mr.
Seward, gives a dear and detailed idea of the
feeling of the British people and the senti
ment of the British statesmen, but does.not
indicate that he knows the purport of the in
structions of the English Government to Lord
Lyons.
Nothing contained in Hr. Adams’s dis
patches Indicate that that Government will
make any exorbitant demands relative to the
seizure of the traitors. This is not only true,
bnt Lam permitted to announce, by high offi
cial authority, that private letters, received,
yesterday from distinguished British states
men, assert that the British Government will
not demand the release of Mason and Slidell,
but will require such reparation as the United
States can honorably grant. This is also con
firmed by other private correspondence of
Americans In London, who have facilities for
learning the intentions of the British Govern
ment.
The dispatches of the British Ministry are
reported to be more sensible and moderate
tiwm represented by the English press. No
thing peremptory or imperative has been ad
dressed to our Government, and nothing, in
short, which cannot be settled by diplomacy.
The general feeling here is favorable to peace,
to conciliation, and to the reference ofuU dis
puted questions to an international commis
sion ; but no one Is In favor of relinquishing a
particle of our . rights. .Special dispatches to.
Ithc TforW say the Government dispatches con
cerning the Misda and Slidell difficulty will
jsJSI
Tie of a dignified but also of & most conciliato
ry nature. They ■will satisfy the English Cab
inet that no insult "was - intended. There is
not now the slightest doubtrbutthat the afihir
■will be speedily, honorably and amicably ar

to the effect that in addition io the expedition

Clinton, another part of his force under CoL
Jeff. C. Davis and Majqr Marshall surprised
another camp of the rebels on the afternoon
of the 18th inat., near Milford, a little north
of Warrensburg. A brisk skirmish ensued,
when the rebels, finding themselves surround

oners.
Major Hubbard captured CO rebels a day or
two since in Johnson county.
The troops in Kansas have been stirring
during the past week, and good news is ex
pected from them daily. .
Sedaxia, Dec. 20. CoL Palmer’s brigade
arrived here last uigbt, and-Gen. Pope is ex
pected to-day. AH information from the west
and north is to the effect that no efforts have
been spared to send Price an ample supply of
clothing for the winter. All or nearly all of ]
this has fallen or will fill; into our hands. |
Nearly 200 heavily laden.wagons arc already :
in our possession, together with a large quan- |
lity of ammunition, armada thousand horses,
tents and camp equipage, &c., and between .
1800 and 2 000 recruits li£ve< been taken pris- |

Maj. Hubbard, of tbe Ist -Missouri Cavalry, !
has captured over 60 rebel recruits within the
past few davs, and killed several others, tak
ing a considerable number., of tents, several
wagons, a quantity of baggage and arms, and
burned a tmll which had been supplying the
rebels for some time past •
Altogether the rebellion 'baa received a ter
rible shock in this section uflhe country with
in the present'week- ItisSiought by many
that Price will cross the Opage to assist his
Generals, Stein and Sfaclt, ; who are now in
the river counties with 4,0f0 or 5,000 men to
escort recruits and supplies to tbeir main
camp at Osceola. If he - does he will be com
pelled to stand a gc*Jerjl engagement, in
which event there is no question whatever but
that he will be badly defeated, and his army
entirely scattered.
Sedaxia, Mo., Dec. 20.— Early yesterday
morning our scouts brought us information
thsit the large rebel train and reinforcements
which we had marched south to intercept, had
divided, and the larger portion were marching
south toward Wavtrly, intending to camp at
night near Milford. Gen. Pope brought the
main body of his army in position a few miles
south of Wavcrly; sent a scouting force under
CoL Jeff. C. Davis through a few miles south
of Warrensburg and Knob Knoster, to come
on the left and rear of the enemy, at the same
time ordering Merrill’s to march
from ‘Warrensburg and come from the right.
CoL Davis pushed rapidly forward and came
np to the enemy in tbe afternoon, and drove
in his pickets, carried a strongly defended
bridge by a vigorous assault, and drove the
enemy into the timber, who finding himself
surrounded, he surrendered. Thirteen hun
dred men, including two Colonels, one
Lieutenant Colonel, one Major, and 17 Cap
tains, were taken prisoners, and 60 wagons
heavily laden with supplies and clothing, and
a large number of horses and mules fell into
our hands. Our loss was 2 killed and 14
wounded. That of the enemy is considerably
greater. This is the best planned and execu
ted action of the war, and reflects great credit
on the General commanding, and the officers
and men who so faithfully and promptly car

Reporters Ordered to teave—Cotton
Picking.
Washington, Dee. 20.— The Navy Depart
ment has received dispatches from Port Royal,
including one from Commander Drayton,
dated Dec. 9th. He gives the particulars of
the recent craise of the Pawnee and the
Uuadilla, and the exploration of the Ashpoo
river. Among other things he states that on
landing atHutqhinson Island, it was ascer
tained that ten days before all the negro cab
ins, overseers bouses and oat-buildings,togeth
er with all picked cotton had been burned.
The attempt at the same time had been made
to drive off the negroes, but many bad es
caped. Some of their number they said had
been shot in the attempt. The scene was one
of complete desolation in the smoking rains;
and the cowering figures of the negroes, who
still instinctively cling to their birth-place, al
though there was no longer shelter for their
heads, is a most melancholy sight. About 140
negroes, most of them in a vciy destitute con
dition, had collected at Otter Island. Com
mander Drayton had directed that they should
be supplied with food until some disposition
could he made of them.
New Yoke, Dec. 20.—The steamship At

that all the reporters for the press should
leave the place immediately. The number of

20,000 men. . _
Four hundred thousand pounds of cotton
had been secured when the Atlantic sailed,
and would be shipped in the nest steamer.
A part of the stone fleet were at Savannah

was made, was taken up.
Mr. TEUMBULL, of HUnois, . moved
amend the resolution so as to include the
proclamations of all generals.
Mr. WILSON thought there was no neces
sity of sending for the proclamation. Gen
erals were appointed, to .use the sword, and
not the pen; and if they could not use the
sword better than the pen, they should be
mustered out of the service. The best tMng
to do was to make statutes that no Gen
erals be allowed to make any proclamations.
Mr. SAULSBURT wanted a disavowal from
the Administration that no authority had been
given for such a proclamation.
Mr. RICE, ot Minnesota, said if subordinate
officers had not carried out the wishes of the

It is probable that in taking her out of the

Gen. Scott In Paris.
[Paris Correspondence N. T. Times, Wot, 28th-l
Gen. Scott, who arrived here on Monday
last, gave a reception yesterday at his hotel,
for the purpose of giving his countrymen in
Paris an opportunity for an introduction. At
2 o’clock, about fifty ladies and gentlemen be
ing present, the U. S. Minister addressed a
few words of ■welcome to the old veteran. He
recalled the brilliant military exploits of his
life, and closed by saying that its crowning
act was his remaining faithful among so many
faithless to the flag of the country. The Gen
eral replied that he was glad to see his coun
trymen; that he hoped-the reunion of his dis- ,
traded country would soon be effected, and
that if it were not by that time—in the course
of five or sis months —if his he3lth*permitted
—he intended to return to the United States,
and lend what aid he could to the good cause.
The persons present were then Individually
presented, the General rising and shaking
rands with each one as the name was given,
and during the reception, which lasted from
3to 4 o’clock, about two hundred persons
were presented. Mrs. Scott, the venerable
wife of the General, who, until his arrival
here, had not seen him in five or six years,
assisted at the reception. It is probably
known that General Scott and Ms wife, on
account of mutually acknowledged incom
patibility of temper, have not lived together
in the marital relation for fifteen years and
more. Mrs. Scott has always, however, mani
fested a great degree of interest in all her hus
band’s movements, and they have always kept
up an occasional correspondence. Upon Ms
arrival here, Mrs. Scott hastened to meet the
General, and will, 1. learn, to

in the course of a week or two. He thinks
the voyage has very much improved Ms
health; says Ms vertigo is all gone, although
he is still troubled with the weakness in the
back and legs.
From the Upper Potomac.
Dispatches from Frederick, Md., on the 18th, J
say that Jackson’s brigade has been largely In
creased, and was supposed to amount to 9,000
men, at Falling Waters. At nine p. m., fifty
one wagons belonging to the rebels were back
ed down to the shore, and a boat from each
quietly launched into the river. Two of the
boats, which were of large size, were for the j
transportation*of Jackson’s artillery. It was I
thought to be the object of the rebels to cross j
over, make a dash on Williamsport, and secure ;
the stores and arms there. He informed Col.
Leonard of all that was transpiring, and thinks
the latter has taken full precautions to prevent
it, by removing the stores, &c., to a more se
cure place, and that he has also took steps to
concentrate all his available force to prevent
the passage of the river.
On receipt of this intelligence by Gen.
Banks, orders were issued to the Third brig
ade, Gen. Williams commanding, to be prepar
ed to perform a forced march to Williamsport
at a moment’s notice; but up to ten o’clock
a. m., on the 19th, the brigade had not moved,
but was in readiness to leave at any time.

pation of Guaymas, on the Gulf of California. |
The latter port would be of great value to the 1
rebels as a point from which to send out pri
vateers to prey upon our commerce in the Pa
cific, and especially to seize California treasure
ships, whose usual route lies directly across
the mouth of the Gulf. The danger o*f a rebel
descent is deemed so imminent that ’the Ex
ecutive is earnestly recommended to authorize
the immediate occupation of Guaymas by a
National force from the State of California,
Will there be a Movement ?
[From George ‘Wilkes’ Letter to his Spirit of this
week.]
The condition of the troops remains the
same, and there arc no evidences in the way
of “butting,” or other signs whatever, that
the army will go into permanent winter quar
ters. This fact, since it is long past time for
such protection against the weather—taken
into consideration with the recent declaration
of the Secretary of War, iu Ids report, that the
Army of the Ivtomac would doubtless soon move
forward andxcith effect, established the opin
ion that McClelland hour is approaching; and
that he but awaits the culmination of certain
circumstances to strike bis These cir
cumstances are supposed to be, the advance
of Gen. Sherman upon Charleston and Savan
nah, or any other event which is of sufficient
influence to produce disintegration of the reb
el army at Manassas.
Griefs of St. Louis Rebels.
[From the Missouri Democrat, 20th.]
Tbc special assessment for “charity” is, we
understand, completed, and some sixty gen
tlemen arc enrolled as involuntary contribu
tors to the refugee relief fund- Those who,
aware of their liabilities, wish to understand
the mode of collection, are referred to General
Order No. 24 for particulars. Shonld the
number of refugees continue, their condition
may require another and huger levy. This
ram of ?10,0C0, upon a basis so large as the
property subject to special contributions, is
of conric a mere bagatelle, bnt the principle
thus effectuated may have farther application
according to the exigencies hereafter.
T\ r c arc informed that after a lengthy
and close investigation by the Commissioners
appointed bv Government, they find the ac
counts of Copt. E. H. Castle, Supervisor of
Railroads forthe WcstcrnDepartment, correct
and just, and have ordered them to be paid-
