Tlie Navy Department has Just received In telligence from Commodore Farrsgut, of tho capture of tho Caroline, n vessel fitted out at Havana and doubtless a rebel pirate. Sho was captured by tho United States steamer Mont gomery, Chas. Hunter, commanding, one of the Mobile blockading vessels, which fell In with the Caroline and chased her six hours, du ring which the latter threw ovcrlward many boxes and bales of merchandise. 8ho showed English colors after tho Montgomery commen ced firing nt her, but did not hcive to, until she had been struck twice by her shot. The captain, as usual, professed to be l-ound for Malanzas, but she viiraattontly got out of her proper course lu a golo of wind, which blew In Just tho wrong direction to drive her where she was found some three hundred miles out of her course. Tho crew, however, sajs thit she was going Into Mobile that night. The cartfo has not been examined, as yet, but tho vessel, doubtless, contains munitions of war designed for tho rebels. Sho was captured on tho CSth of October, and was sent north nt onco for adjudication. Tho vessel was regis tered as tho English steamer Caroline, hnt was formerly the American steamer Arizona, built In Wilmington, Delaware, lu 18T3, and was 6S2 tons burden. The papers show that she has 10,500 pounds of saltpetre on board j and tho captain, after being told that ho should sent In, acknowledged having arms on lnanl. Com.

The Richmond Fxaminer of the 8th saSJ " Tho prospects of European Intervention hare dissolved like a snow wreath. Rut a short time ago there wcro hopeful Indications that England and France wcro about to tako some action In this war that would bo favorable to tho South. Tills opinion was reflected noLonly In tho Journals of the enemy, but In the minds of Intelligent foreigners on this sldo the Atlan tic. It Is known that on tho strength of the calculation of our national existence being ear ly recognized by England and France, transac tions have been made to some extent by foreign capitalists In Confederate lonrts at etghtyix cents on tho dollar. "There Is. however, no mistaking tho slir- nl flea nee of tho speech of the British Secretary of War, In which lie asserts that tho South has noi as yet accompusneu ner inucpcnucncc,' anu must be regarded as a Itellljrercnt holding an uncertain position In an undecided war. The British Government will In noway, and at no tlmo daring the continuance of this war, recog nize tho Sonthcrn Confederacy as ono of tho In dependent Powers of the earth, or Interfere to limit the duration of this war." TUB NORTHERN ELECTIONS. The Framtner of tho 6th, speaking of tho re sult of tho Northern elections, says i "These astounding manifestations from tho North convey tho idea of an emphatic and Im prcsslvo popular verdict against the abolition faction which has ruled tho Government at Washington. Tha Northern papers attempt to lessen tho valuo of tho results of tho elections In tho eyes of the South Tho value, however, Is determined by tho circumstance, that the principal Idea ou which tho recent canvass In tho North was conducted, was that tho Dem ocrats were a peace party in disguise, and with this Issue thrust In their faces, the people of the thrco most powerful States In the North have glcn unprecedented majorities to the Demo cratic candidates, and a blow to the abolition ists at tho ballot-boxes that will stagger them Into tho background."

By tho latest returns from Michigan, It Is as certained that tho Congressional delegation from that State will stand five Republicans and ono Democrat. A telegram dated at Albany, N. Y.j Nov. 10, saj s that the removal of Gen. McClellan crcites Intense excitement there. Senator Harris, In a morning address to the law students of the Al bany Law School, said he was grieved nnd In dignant at this removal, regarding It as a fatal mistake. He has written a letter to Gen. Mc Clellan stating this as his opinion Keep cool, Mr. Senator. All statements alleging disaffection In the arm, Id consequence of a change in the-command of the Army of tho Potomac, are pro nounced by thoso who havo the best means of knowing, to be without foundation. Soldiers aro very much like other men, prone to wor ship the rising sun. It Is ascertained that the assignment of Burn- side to the command of tlie Army of the Poto tomnc Is without limitation. Hence the reports that any other general will take tho position aro not well founded; this Is, at least,, the pres ent state of affairs. The N UrolDgton Journal, of tbe4ih Instant, says i Wo learn, by a gentleman Just from Ma sonliorough Sound, that, early this morning, tho blockadcrs commenced firing on a large English brig, supposed to be engaged In run ning the blockade. The brig was run aahoro off Marlborough. At about 8 o'clock, the block adcrs commenced firing ou the Stato Salt Works. Aa wo go to press, the firing Is plainly heard In town. Wo do not know the damage the brig has sustained. She had not I won taken possession of when our Informant left. Fears are entertained of tho capture, by tho rebels, of lho two companies of the Second District of Columbia volunteers, who left this city last week, In charge of a large number of convalescents. Their destination was McClel- lan's headquarters, In tho field and It seems to Ikj pretty certain that some of the convales cents wcro captured by Stuart Vcavalr). Tho address of General Burnsldo to the arm) of the Potomac nn taking command Is one of tho best things of tho kind that has transpired durlug tho war. The modesty, tho patriotism, and tho wholo hearted purposes of tho man la manifest In every line. God bless Gen. Burn slde, and ma) lho whole loyal country rally to his support, and victor) after victor) perch upon our buuncrs. General Bumsldc's headquarters are now nt Warrcuton. Tho St. Louis Fienlng Xcv says It has seen a private letter from Springfield, which sajs that General Schoflcld Is moving back to that point. The scarcity of forage lu Arkansas Is said to be the cause of this backward mov cm cnt, Tho Bteamshlp Saxou, of the Philadelphia and Boston line, has been aclred by tho Government to convey troops on an expedition southward, As the sleamer was engaged. In her regular trade at tho tlmo, consignees should understand that sho was not chartered by tho Government, but seized. lion. Joseph Holt's letter to Collector Bar ne), of New York, Is an able aud patriotic paper. Wo shall cudearer to find room for It In our paper to-morrow . 1 he San Francisco merchants havo pledged thcmselres not to receive or pay out legal ten der notes except at rates of discount, but ad- hero to gold and currency at Its standard v alue. It Is their Intention lu havo a pledge to this signed throughout tho Stale1, and to refuse to credit all declining. ' There w us a rumor In this city, late last even Ing, that nil of Gen. SlgePs staff, with a thou sand men, had been captured at Warrcnton. This canuot bo so, as tho General could not havo been there, nor his staff cither, as Warrcn ton Is the headquarters of Gen.

Tho mother was restored to her children and tho husband placed under the protection of the bayonets of tho United States, at tho Patent Of fice hospital. It is about tlmo tho Infernal business of negro-catching were stopped In this city. There Is too much of tho free and Intelli gent Northern clement now Inhabiting tho city, to allow the disgrace much longer. Yet it never can be stopped while theso these villains can pursue their nefarious calling under color of the fugitive slave law . Let that law he abol ished and then abolish all officers of the law, who favor such outrageous proceedings as the kidnapping of free people, an I wo shall be a free city In truth. In the nnmoof humanity, wo thank Gen. Wads worth and Col.

The Doctor Is an unassuming, well-bearing, high-toned gen tleman, whoso originality Is only surpassed by his chasteness, both In public and private asso ciations, He never sacrifices the feelings of any party, sex, or people, by making unpleas ant allusions. He docs not attempt to talk on subjects that ho does not understand, neither does ho volunteer to tell the people what politi cal course to pursue. Ho fills the mission laid out for the one who follows that department In tho profession he has chosen, namelyi ho amuses his auditors. Wo hope to see the CreJ morne Circus well filled on Thursday night. Robber Arrested. The notorious burglar, Charles Harvey, who was arrested a few days slnco on tho charge of entering the room of Miss Isabel Cubas. at the National hotel, was brought up for examination yesterday, before Justlco Donn. There were several witnesses examined, and It was clearly proven that Har vey's Intentions were to commit a robbery. He was ordered to glvo bonds In tho sum of one thousand dotlars for his appearance at court, which ho fulled to do. and was committed to Jail. Tho servant girl deserves much praise for securing tuts notorious tuiei, ana wo nope wis case may bo of somo benefit to all others who may ne placed in like circumstances. Personal. Harvev Tcrrv.
