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.

or General of I'ennsylvauiia, having been i
appointed and confirmed a brigadier gene- I
ral in the army, it became the duty of the j
Governor to fill the vacancy, and the Hon

county, has benn appointed. He is a I
gentlemen of ability, and well fitted for the I
position.
The Treasury Report.
The annual report of the Secretary ofj
the Treasury recommends a non extension |
ot the foreign trade. 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

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

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.

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.

ST. 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
