JtefThe steamer Edinburgh has brought one day's later news from Europe. It is reported that Gen. Scott is the bearer of a proposition from Louis Napoleon to act as mediator between our country and England. The war feeling in that country continues unabated; hut, if the rumor that France is j anxious to prevent the commencement of true, we shall probably have no groat difficulty in effecting a peaceful adjustment of our existingdifficulties—un less, as we before said, England desires a quarrel. In that case let their be war— war to the knife against the arrogant pow er which has rais .d its arms in favor of the , slave oligarchy of the South. ttgkWin. 11.

Jin increase of the duties, a more absolute reliance on Ameri- : can labor, the imposition of taxes on bank notes, tobacco, stills, liquors, legacies, etc., j and the substitution of United States Treasury notes for the whole system of lo cal bank paper, which as the circulation of the latter amounts to 8150,000,000, would add that much to the national resources j lor present ue. The actual and estimated expenditures for the fiscal year 1862 are stated at $543,406,422 06, and the actual \ and estimated receipts at $329,501,994 36, j making a deficit of §213,904,427 68. The estimated expenditures for the fiscal ; year 186-3 are stated at $475,331,245, and the estimated receipts at $95,800,000, ; leaving a balance of $379,531,245 to be j provided for. The whole amount required from loans is thus stated*: For the fiscal year 1862, under existing laws, $75,499,- 675 • lor the fiscal year 1862, under laws to be enacted, $379,531,245 61; making an aggregate of 8654,980,920 51. The total may be stated in round numbers at six hun dred and fifty five millions of dollars. The public debt is estimated as follows : On the Ist day of July, 1860, the public debt was $64,769,703 08; on the Ist day of July, 1861, $90,867,828 68; on the Ist day of July 1862, the puplic debt will be $517,372,802 93 ; on the Ist day of July, 1803, $897,372,802 93. This debt, Mr. Chase thinks, the coun try could pay in thirty years. BS?„,The publishers of the Atlantic Month ly desire public attention especially to an im portant and interesting feature which has been added to this magazine for the coming year. They have succeeded in securing aee ries of contributions from Prof. Louis Agassiz, of Harvard University, the most eminent nat uralist in the world. Prof. Agassiz's articles commencea with the January number, and will he continued in every number through out the year. They will be upon the Study ol Natural History and kindred topics, nud cannot tail to prove a repository of most val uable inioruk&tion, while th well known dis tinctness and simplicity which mark Prof. Agassiz s system of instruction will make them not only instructive but deeply jnteres ting to the general reader. PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. In the Senate on Tuesday a resolution was adopted calling for copies of the cor respondence between Gen. Scott and Gen. Patterson. The slavery question and the . conduct of the war were discussed by Sen ators Lane and Carlisle. Messrs. Chandler, Johnson of Tennessee and ade were ap pointed the Senate committee on the eon duct of the war. The House resolution providing for a recess until the 6th of Jan uary was postponed. Ihe House of Representatives passed a resolution authorizing the Provost Court at Alexandria to retain in its custody pro- I psrty belonging to persons engaged in aid ing the rebellion. Mr. Elliott s resolution ! proposing the emancipation of the slaves of rebels was taken up and alter some de bate referred, with ail other resolutions re- , lating to the subject, to the committee on Judiciary. This vote is a defeat of the abolition element in the House. A bill for the relief of the owners of the British ship Perthshire was passed. The report of the special committee to inquire into the Government contracts was 1 presented in the House. The committee have had sittings at Washington, New- York, Boston, New Bedford, St. Louis, Cairo, Chicago and llarrisburg; have trav eled over six thousand miles and examined two hundred and sixty five witnesses, and spent about $5,000. The Cataline case they have investigated, but not with any 1 great results. They accuse no one of dis- i honesty, Lut pronounce the price of the charter exorbitant, and call Captain Com- j stock the agent of both parties. They re view at great length the transactions of i Mr George D. Morgan, of New York city, who waj appointed Government agent for j the purchase of vessels, and deem the amount ;of his commission, §95,050, extremely large. The purchase of arms by Gen. Fremont, and the placing of 52,000,000 in the hands of the Union Defence com mittee by the Secretaries of War and the . Treasury are condemned. The dealings of j the Quartermaster's Department at St. Louis, while, in charge of Major McKin stry, with tire firm of Child, Pratt A Fox, at the profit of the latter of $280,000' upon $890,000, receives the severest cen- ! | sure. Mr. Van \Yjck, Chairman of the i committee, then submitted a series of res- j olutions requesting the Secretary of the Treasury to decline making any further payments to the parties interested in the ; chartering of the steamer Cataline, and pay the claims against the Government on ! the 5,000 carbines purchased by Gen. Fre mont at the rate of 812.50 each, and that the practice of employing irresponsible persons, having no official connection with i the Government, is injurious to the public i service and is disapproved of by the House. The consideration of the r.-port was post poned till next Tuesday. In the Senate on Wednesday Mr Doo : little presented a bill for the collection of! the direct tax in the rebel States. It pro ' poses that the Government shall seize and hold the lands of rebels until redeem- ! ed under the provisions of the law. A resolution expelling Trusten Polk, Senator i from Missouri, was referred to the Judic- j !. tary committee. In the House the committee of elections j : reported against the claim of C. 11. Foster i j as a representative from North Carolina, ! i declaring it to be founded on an imposition. ! ! The resolution was adopted. The home • stead bill was discussed and postponed un- i til the first Tuesday in February next , ! The pension appropriation bill was passed j i with an amendment excluding disloyal pen j sioners from its benefits. In the Senate on Thursday Mr. Willcy, i of Virginia, presented a resolution declar ing that the existing war was forced upon the country by the States in rebellion, without provocation, and was designed to ' destroy the Union and Constitution, and j that its purpose was to disown and repudi ate the fundamental principles of republi can government. He addressed the Senate nearly two hours in support of his resolu tions, and gave way to a motion to go into j executive session. The Senate afterwards discussed the propriety of a recess until the 6th of January, but finally adjourned without coming to a direct vote on the House resolution. The House of Rcpresentativs authorised the construction of twenty iron-clad gun boats. A bill to authorise the construction of a street railroad between Washington and Georgetown was passed. The Consular and Diplomatic appropriation bill was pas sed. The Senate on Friday passed resolu tions recognizing and applauding the gal lantry of Gen. Lyon and the troops under ■his command at the battle of Springfield. The Judiciary Committee reported back the bill to abolish the Supreme Court and asked to be discharged. Mr. Willey, of V irginia, continued and conclued hisspeech on the resolution offered by him declaring the origin and purpose of the war. The i Senate adjourned until Monday. The House of Representatives passed a resolution providing for the transmission of allotments of pay of volunteers to their families and friends, and repealing the law allowing liens to sutlers on soldiers pay- Mr. TVickliffe presented resolutions from the Kentucky Legislature in relation to extending relief to the sufferers lrom the famine in Ireland. Mr. Julian Onered a resolution, which was passed yeas < s , nays 30—instructing the Judiciary Com mittee to report a bill to forbid the return of fugitive slaves except where the loyalty of the claimant was satisfactorily proved 31 r. Lovejoy offered a resolution requesting the Committee on the Judiciary to report n bill confiscating the property and libera ting the slaves of those participating IU or aiding the rebellion. The House adjourn ed over until Monday. General Scott's Letter on the American Difficulty. MR DEAR SIR: YUU were right in doubt ing the declaration imputed to me— to wit: that the Cabinet a; Washington had given orders t seize 3lessrs. Mason and Slide!! even under a neutral flag; for I was not even aware that the Government had had that point un der consideration. At the tiuie of my leaving New York it was not known that the San Ja cinto had returned to the American seas, and it was generally supposed those persons had escaped to Cuba for the purpose of re-embark ing iu the Nashville, in pursuit of which ves sef the James Adger and other cruisers had been despatched. I think I can satisfy you in a few words that you have no serious occasion to feel con cerned about our relations with England, if, as her rulers confess, she has no disposition to encourage the dissensions in America. In the first place, it is almost superfluous to sav to you that every instinct of prudence as well as of good neighborhood prompts our government to regard no hoorruble sacrifice too great for the preservation of the friend ship of Great Britain. This must be obvious to all the world. At no period of our history has her friendship been of more importance to our people—at no period has our Govern ment been in a condition to make greater concessions to preserve it. The two nations are united by interests and sympathies—com mercial, social, political, and religious—al most as the two arms to one body, and no one is so ignorant as not to know that what harms one must harm the other in a corresponding degree. I am persuaded that the British Government can entertain no doubt upon this point; hut if it does, I feel that I may take it upon my self to sav that the President of the United States, when made aware of its existence, will lose BO opportunity of dispelling it. Nor is there anything. I venture to affirm, in the seizure of these rebel emissaries which ought to receive an unfriendly construction . from England. LLer statesmen will not qncs tion the legal right of an American vessel-of war to search any commercial vessel justly suspected of transporting contraband of war. | That right has never been surrendered by j England ; it was even guaranteed to her by the Treaty of Paris; and British guns, frown ing down upon nearly every strait and in land sea upon the globe, are conclusive evi ■ dence that she regards this right as one the ; efficacy of which may be nut yet entirely ex tinguished. Of curse, there is much that is irritating and vexatious in the exercise of this ! right uM'.ler the mo-t favorable circumstances and it is to be hoped the day is not far distant j when the maritime States of the world wd' agree in placing neutral commerce beyond the reach of such vexations. The United States Government has been striving to thi er.d for m ire than fifty years ; to this end, i early in the present eentury, and in itsiufm cy as a nation, it embarked in a war with the j greatest naval power in the world ; and it i even now a persistent suitor at every ,-nari time court in Europe, for a more liberal rec ognition of the rights of neutrals than any of the other greet maritime nations have yet been disposed to make. But till those rights j are secured by proper international guaran tees upon a comprehending and enduring ba- j sis, of course England cannot complain of an j act for which in all its material bearings bet ! own naval history affords sucli numerous pre j cedents. Whether the captives from the Trent were contraband of war or not, ie a question which ! the two Governments can have no serious j difficulty in agreeing upon. If Mr. Seward ; cannot satisfy Earl Russell that they wens, I have no doubt Earl Russell will be able to ! satisfy Mr. Seward that they were not. If 1 tbev were, as all authorities concur in ad- | mitting, agents of the rebellion, it will be dif ficult to sat'sfv impartial minds that they were j any less contraband than a file of rebel sol- j diers or a battery of hostile cannon. But, even should there be a difference of j opinion upon this point, it is very clear that ! our Government had sufficient grounds for j presuming itself in the right to escape the I suspicion ef having wantonly violated the re lations of amity which the two countries pro- j fess a desire to preserve and cultivate. The pretence that we ought to have taken the Trent into pert, and had her condemned j by a prize court, in order to justify ourseiz j ure of her passengers, furnishes a very narrow basis on which to fix a serious controversy be tween two great nations. Stated in other words, an offence would have been less if it had been greater. The wrong done to the British flag would have been mitigated if, in stead of seizing the four rebels, we had seized the ship, detained all her passengers for i weeks, and confiscated her cargo. I arn not surprised that Captain Wilkes took a different view of his duty, aud what was due to the friendly relations which subsisted between the two Governments. The renowned com mon sense of the English people, I believe, approve of bis effort to make the discharge of a very unpleasant duty as little vexatious as possible to ail innocent parties. If, under these circumstances, England j should deem it her duty, ia the interest of civilization, to insist upon the restoration of the men taken from under the protection of her flag, it will be from a conviction, without doubt, that the law of nations, in regard to f the rights of neutrals, which she has taken the leading part in establishing, requires re vision, aud with a suitable disposition on her part to establish those rights upon a just, hu mane, and philosophic basis. Indeed, lam happy to see an intimation in one of the lead ing metropolitan journals, which goes far to justify this inferenoe. Refering to the decis ions of the English Admiralty Courts now quoted in defence of the seizure of the Amer ican rebels on board the Trent, the London Times, of the 28th November, says: ' So far as the authorities go, the testimony of international law-writers is al! one way, that a belligerent war cruiser has the right to stop and visit and search any merchant ship upon the high seas. * * * But it must be remembered that these de cisions were given under circumstances very different from those which now oocur. Steam ers in thoae days did not exist, and mail ves sels carrying letters wherein all the nations of the world have immediate interest were unknown. We were fighting for existence, and we did in those days what we should neither do or allow others to do, nor expect ourselves to be allowed to do. in these days. If England, as we are here encouraged to hope, is'disposed to do her part in stripping war of half its hi rrors, by accepting the poli cy long and persistently urged upon her by our Government, and commended by every principle of justice and humanity, she wil, find no ground, iu the visit of the I rent, for controversy with our Government. I sure the President and people of the United States would be but too happy to let these men go free, unnatural and unpardonable as their offences hove been, if hy it they c>utd emancipate the commerce of the world.— Greatly as it would be to our disadvantage at this present crisis to surrender any of those maritime privileges of belligerents which, sanctioned by the laws of nations, I feel that f take no responsibility in saying that the United States will be faithful to her tradition a! policy upon this subject, and to the spirit of her political institutions. On the other hand, should England be un prepared to make a corresponding sacrifice; should she feel that she could not yet afford to surrender the advantages which the pros ent maritime code gives to a dominant naval Power, of course she will not put herself in a false position by asking us to d • it. In ei ther case, therefore, 1 do not see how the friendly relations ot the two Governments are in any immediate danger uf being disturbed. That the over prompt recognition, as bel ligerents. of a body of men, however large, so long as they constituted a manifest minority of the nation, wnuti le 1 the feelings of my countrymen deeply, I will not affect to deny; that that act, with some of its logical conse quences which have already occurred, has planted in the breasts of many the suspicion that their kindred in England wish them evil rather than good ; but the statesmen to whom the political interests of these two great peo pie are confided act upon higher responsibiii ties and with better lights, and you may rest as sured that an event so mutually disastrous as a war between Eagland and America cannot occur without some other and graver pruvo cation than has yet been given by either na tion. W INFIELD SCOTT. Hotel Westminster, Paris, Pec. 2, ISGI. To , Esq. W A RNE W S , A portion of Gen. McCall's division, the Pennsylvania Reserve Regiments, went out on Friday morning on a foraging expedition and reconoissance in the direction of Drains ville. On arriving there they encountered the enemy's force, Consisting of four regiments of inf n try, a batter}' of six pieces of artillery and Stewart's regiment of cavalry. On our side there were engaged General Ord's Bri gade, the First Mounted Rifles, and a battery of four guns. After a sharp tight of an hour and a half the Rebels were completely routed and lied precipitately, leaving behind two cai.-sons, small aims, ami a large number of blankets, (great eat, &c., On the field were found after their retreat fifty-seven killed and twenty two wounded. Two of the latter (lied whilst being rcinov, d. It is supposed that they also carried off many of their w.un • b-.1. Some prisoners were t.tkeu in addition to the wounded. Our 1> was ten killed and fifteen wounded. The expedition returned to tlie headquarters of Gen. MeCnU's division at nine o'clo kat night. Gen. M -Call speaks highly of tiit- behavior of the tr u >ps. Geo. W. Jones, of lowa, a patent democrat, into United States Minister to L >g> tu, was arrested on Friday at New York by order of the Secretary of State and seat to Fort War ren. From Missouri we have a confirmation of the succes c ful results of Gen. Pope's opera tions near Clinton, and also intelligence of a stiil more important achievement by another portion of bis forces. A large camp of Reb els was surrounded near Milford. After a brisk skirmish they surrendered to Col Da vis, who took thirteen hundred prisoners, in cluding three Colonels, seventeen Captains, one thousand stand of arms, the same num ber of horses, with all their baggage, wagons, tents, supplies, &c. Other minor successes are reported, including the capture of a large quantity of gunpowder. Affairs in Missouri are evidently recovering under Gen. Ilulleek's vigorous administration. Late despatches from Missouri confirm and increase the good news from that quar ter. Two hundred wagons, laden with sup plies for Price's army have been captured.— The number of prisoners now in the custody of the National troops is estimated at two thousand. Numerous bodies of recruitsseek ing to join Price had been dispersed or cap tured. This succession of heavy blows would, it was thought, force Price to advance with his main army this side of the Osage river, when a general engagement would take place. An official despatch from Gen. Ilalleck, re ceived at Washington, confirms the successes of GeD. Pope's expedition. The steamer Atlantic, arrived at New York, has advices from Port Royal to 17th inst. Gen. Stevens' Brigade, four thousand strong, held possession of Beaufort and the adjoining islands. Gen. Vielo's expedition to Fernandina had been abandoned. Gen. Sherniau bad issued orders that all reporters were to leave Port Royal immediately. Their improper disclosures in reference to the prep arations and destination of this now aban doned expedition is probably the cause of this order. Four hundred thousand pounds of cottrn had been secured and prepared for shipment. A reconnoisance had been made from Beanfort on to the main land. Gen. Wright's Brigade occupies Tybee Island.

CHARLES, Mo., Dec. 21.—A pre- ; concerted movement was made last night by the Seee*sioniits along the North Mis souri Railroad, and the rebels recently re turned from Price's army, by which about one hundred miles of the road were nearly destroyed, or at least rendered useless, com mencing eight miles south of Hudson.— j They burned all the bridges, woodpiles, tanks and ties, tore up th# rails for miles, burnt them, and destroyed the telegraph line. This was continued to Warrenton, where the work ceased. How many were concerned in this vil lainous work is uot yet known, but there is no doubt that it was a preconcerted amd ! simultaneous movement of the citizens along the road, as no single party couid have accomplished so much iu one night Three hundred of the villains are known to have been engaged in the destruction oi ; ( the bridge and track at Warrenton. #3jf"David Baughman, formerly of Orotzer ville, sole a horse in Jefferson county, sold it to Wsn.
