Herald : The following letter sufficiently explains itself. It was sent to the President two days alter its date by a frieud of his, who afforded the first opportunity that could be relied on to insure the delivery to the President in person, and it was so delivered. It was read, and a verbal reply that the case would be in. vestigbted wus given. But no pretence was made that the cause for the arrest was not correctly atuted in my letter. Though the claim to “ investigate ” by means of an arbuary arrest, personal duress, and whatever aeoret appliances a Cabinet inquisition might see fit to resort to, was reasserting the right so to arrest for such causes, and thus was a claim as utterly at vari ance with all law, as would have been the similar arrest of a man who (in New York, had picked the Secretary’s pocket, still steps were taken to present the case again to the President and the Beoretary, through their personal and political friends (and they are in high position,) in the hope of obtaining redress without publicity. But as up to this time (after nearly three weeks) nothing has resulted, except an infamously rigorous imprisonment of Mr. Tracy, forbearance has reached its limit, it is highly important that the people should thus and now have a specifio statement, showing the enormity of actual oppression exercised in this case, as a warning to them and to the ad ministration. Yours, <fcc., Troy, New York, Deo. 4, 1862 JUDGE GOULD TO MR. LINCOLN, m . . _ ~ New York, Nov. 14, 1862. lo his Excellency, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States : . *; IB; On toy arrival iu this city, from my residence in Troy, N. Y., 1 find that a cousin of mine, (1. Colden Tracy, a broker of this city, has been, first arrested and sent toi/ort Lafayette, secondly, to-day taken as a prisoner to Washington. The newspapers aay—and so iar as X can learn by all inquiries of authorities, 1 can hear nothing different—that the cause of the arraet is some dealings he has had in contractors' drails on government officers for moneys; and it is suid ; some irauds were committed in or by the drafts, and he isoharged with complicity there with. J Xf this be so, it is a crime cognizable by the courts, and only by the courts. And X am amazed at the fatuity of public officers who can take no warning from the distinctly uttered voice of a free people. X am, always have been, an unwavering enemy of this rebellion—(cursed iu its origin, most accursed itß progress) aud a supporter of the administration. I am a Judged the highest court of this Btate. And it no honest voice has yet readied the ear of our government, X wish to say, and to be heard in sayiog, that Star Chamber process and Secretary’s warrants are dangerous instruments to play with and that, among us, the true, staunch supporters of the government, who would crush treason with the iron heel, but who know the law are compelled to haDg their heads in sileuce at the mention of casts whioh have occurred in our midst. Spies are hardly oautioned when they are where they can do infinite harm; bat a powerful hand aud oppressive one, is laid on a persou here, who is not in a position for doing mischief, if he would, and who is supposed to have no friends. Xn this respect, I thank God, there has been a mis take. It is true that he is a young mao, of not much means, or influence; it is also true that he has a young wile (married not long since, and for no as. signed cause, and for no assignable oause, that those in power dare to give bredlh to, he is taken away from home, without giving to his wife an instant’s in terview or a ehance to see him. Xn this country the France of a century ago! * The young man is the grandson of that Uriah Tracy, who lived and died, a Senator of the United Stales, from Connecticut, who was the first man buried in the Congressional burying ground at Wash ington, and whose ushes are insufted by this atrocious invasion of the liberties of the people in the person of his desceudant. I am not merely speaking my own opinion of snch arrests. X knaw the opinion and the feelings of many of my brethren of the bench. And if the government is really desirouß of so proceeding as to. it our duty to make publio our options, they will be heard, not merely in the writ of habeas cor pus, but in open declaration to the world: Had I been a few horns earliermadeaware of this case, 1 should not have troubled you with a word • but L would have seen that the process of the Supreme Court of the State was so executed as to proteot its citizens accused of such offbnceTfrom any arrest, other than ono under the appropriate process of the courts. I beg again to assure you, in all sincerity, that this kind of proceeding has gone too far already, and that, while to the last of our men and our means we are ready and determined to sustain the law, and the government in enforcing the law over this whole land as one country, we are also determined to be judged by the law, and not by any Secretary or aDy one who is not commissioned for that purpose. We know and acknowledge the rules of war, where the necessity of the case requires the existence of mar tial law. Bub we know, also, the common law of liberty, and the broad, great charter of the Consti tution. r V e zealously, because I cannot bear to think of our cherished government takioe any course to injure itself; at a time too, when our only hope of escaping the eternal disgrace and humilia tion of letting the cause human liberty perish in our hands is to sustain this Government of this Union, and to have it a Government worth sustaining. With great respect, yours, &0., GEORGE GOULD. THE PAYMENT OP TROOPS. The Secretary of the Treasury, in answer to a resolution of the House of Representa tives, has sent a communication to Speaker Grow, in which he states that the requisitions of the Secretary of War for money for the payment of troops have always been promptly met at the Treasury when an absolute want of means did not prevent. He says that since the Ist of July, the sum 0/ $66,554,281 has been paid on such requisi tions, as follows: For bounties on enlistments, $7,500,000.00 For recruiting, collecting, drill ing and organizing, 10,152,360.41 For ordinary pay, _ 48,881,921.23 The amount of requisitions of this descrip tion now in the Treasury Department unpaid is $28,700,000. These unpaid requisitions are about equal to the amount required fur pay during one bi-monthly period. A portion of them represent pay which fell due before the commencement of the last bi-monthly period ol September and October, while about equal amounts have been suoplied for pay which has become due since ‘its commence ment. Precise information on these points can on.y be obtained from the books of the Department.

Reason* for Crossing the Rappahannock. HEADQUARTERS ABMT op THE POTOMAC, ) December 9,1862. j To Major-General Hailed;, General-in-Chief: General : I'have the honor to offer the following reasons for moving the Army of the Potomso across the Bsppabannoek sooner than was anticipated by the President, Secretary, drjourolf, and for enuring at a point different from the one indicated to yon at our last meeting at the President’s . Daring my preparations for crossing at the place X had first selected, X discovered that the enemy had thrown a large portion of his forces down the river and elsewhere, thus breaking bis defences in front, and also ttionght-X discerned that he did not antici pate the erossing of oar whole, force at Fredericks burg, aod I hoped, by rapidly throwing the whole command over at that place, to separate, by a vigor* oos attack, the forces of the enemy on the river be* low from the foroes behind sod on the orest and in the rear of the town; in which case we could fight him with great advantage in oar favor. To do this we had to gain a height on the extreme right of the crest, which height commanded a new road lately made by the enemy for the purpose of more rapid communication along bis lines, which point gamed, his position along the crest wdnld have been scarcely tenable, and be could have been driven from there easily by an attack on his front, in con. section with a movement in the rear of the crest. How near we came to,accomplishing oar object fntare reports will show. Bat for the fog and un« expected and unavoidable delay in building the bridges, which gave the enemy twenty-four hoars more to concentrate his forces in bis strong positions, we woaid almost certainly have succeeded, in which case the battle would have been, in my opinion, far more decisive than if we had crossed at the places first selected. As it was, we came very nearsuccess. Failing in accomplishing the main object, we re* mained in orderof battle two days—long enough to decide that the enemy would not come oat of his strongholdsto fight as withhis infantry,after which we reorosBed to this side of the river, unmolested, without the loss of men or property. As the day broke, onr long lines of troops were seen marchingto theirdifferent positions, as if going on parade. Not the least demoralization or disorgani zation existed. To the brave offioers and soldiers who accomplished the feat of thus reorossing in the face of the enemy. 1 owe overytbiog. For the failure in the attack X am responsible, as the extreme gallantry, courage and endurance shown by them was never excelled, and would have carried the points had it been possi ble. To the families and friends of the dead, X can only offer my heartfelt sympathy; but for tte wounded I can offer my earnest prayers for their comfort and final recovery. The fact that I decided to move from Warrenton on to this line rather against the opinion of the President, Secretary and yourself, and that you have left the whole movement in my hands without giving me orders, makes me the more responsible. I will visit you very soon and give you more defi nite information, and finally will send you my de tailed report, in which d special acknowledgment will be made of the services of the different Grand Divisions, Corps, and my general and personal ’ staff departments of the Army of the Potomao, to whom I am so much indebted for their sapport and hearty co-operation. I will add here that the movement was made earlier than you expected, and after the President, Secretary and yourself requested me not to be in baste, for the reason that we were supplied much sooner by the different Staff Departments than was anticipated when 1 last saw you Our killed amount to 1152, or wounded about 9,000, our prisoners about 900, which have been paroled and exchanged for about the same number taken by us. . wounded were all removed to this side of the river before the evacuation, and are being well cared for. The dead were all buried under a flag of truce. The Burgeons report a much larger proportion than usual of slight wounds*—l,63o only being treated in the hospitals. . X am glad to represent the army at the present time in good condition. Thanking the Government for that entire support and confidence which I have always received from them, X remain, General, very respectfully Your obedient servant, (Signed,) A. E. Burnside, Major-General Com. Army of the Potomac; The Victory ia North Carolina—Official Report of Gen. Foster. Washington, Dec. 20. The following has just been received at the head quarters of the Army of the United States: Headquarters of the Department of ) North Carolina, Kingston, Deo. 14, 1862.' J Major-General Halleck, Commanding the Army of the U. S.: * General : 1 have the honor to inform you that I left Newbern for this place on the 11th inst., but that owing to.the very bad roads, and the consequent de lays to the trains,Vic., I did not reach S. W. creek, five miles from the town, till the afternoon of the 13th. The enemy were posted there, but by a heavy artillery fire in front and a vigorous infantry attack on either flank, I succeeded in forcing a passage, and without much loss. This morning I advanced on this town, and found the enemy strongly ported at a defile passing through a marsh bordering a creek. The position was so well chosen that very littJo of our artillery could be brought in play. The main attack, therefore, was made by the infantry, assisted by a few guns pushed forward on the road. We succeeded, after five-hours’ hard fighting , in driving the enemy from their position. We followed them rapidly to the river. The bridge over the Neuse, at this point was prepared for firing, and was fired at six places; but we followed so closely be hind them that wo saved the bridge. The enemy re treated precipitately by the Goldsboro’ and Pike ville roads. Their fierce was about six thousand men, with twenty pieces of artillery. The result is that we have taken Kingston, captured eleven pieces of ar tillery, taken from four to five hundred prisoners and found a large amount of Quartermaster’s and Com missary stores Our loss will not probably exceed 200 killed and wounded. I am, General, with great respect, your ob’t servant, J. q Foster, Major General Commanding. From Fortress Monroe. Fortress Monroe, Dec. 25. Lieut. Col. Stietsell, of the 11th Pennsylvania cavalry. Col. Spear’s dushing regiment, had a warm engagement with the enemy at Pointer’s bridge, on the Blaokwater, yesterday, four miles above Frank lin. They drove the enemy’s pickets on this side of the river, capturing four—one oavalryman and his horse and three infantry and their arms. Col. Steitsell’s men, advancing with their carbines under the gallant Lt. John S. Rapes, first engaged the enemy, at very short range. Finally, finding the enemy in superior numbers above and below us on the river, with our very small force (of only four small equadrons) in peril of being flanked, Steitsell very wisely concluded to retire, which he did in safety, Geo.

She had a crew of fifteen men, and carried three guns in her hold. the MILITARY DEAD-LOCK The National Intelligencer treats at some length upon “ The Military Dead Lock,” and concludes thus: The line of approach to Richmond by way of the Peninsula being abandoned by the present military administration, whoso pride of opinion naturally resists a return to it, and the line of approach by way of Fredericks burg being blocked up by an impassable bar rier, the combinations of the General-in- Chief have been brought to a sudden stand still at a time most unpropitious to the cause of the Union. We have no heart to anticipate fresh disasters, but we shall feel relieved if this-, baulk in the campaign does not tend to ‘ h , e a , B y et unfulfilled portion of General McClellan’s prophetic letter to General Ilal leck, where, in deprecation of the evacuation of Harrison’s Landing, the former pointed to the strong probability that it would induce foreign Powers to recognize our adversaries. “ Hos fonte deivata clades. History, in re cording the successive disasters which have followed the removal of the Army of the Potc mao from the Peninsula, will record with not the least surprise that it all turned on the question of affording to its Commander a pal try contingent of fifteen thousand men, and this in a war which has brought its forces into the field by levies of five hundred thousand, three hundred thousand, and three hundred thousand again. It will be hard to convince posterity that so much of hazard, and, as it now_ appera, so much of assured misfortune, need to have been entailed on the Republio if wise counsels had presided over our military destinies.” J SUITS a 6 ai 7eSees o* gov- The Baltimore Sun, of Tuesday last, Thjee of the former polieo commissioners of this city, lately released from Fort Warren Chas.

The Palmyra (Mo.) ; Courier of ,thel2th instant, relates the particulars of an atrocious murder of a mao at Griffville, Illinois, by Missouri guerillas, instigated by hie wife and daughter. The murderers, three in number, were arrested in Palmyra; when one of them made a confession, which will be found below. The murdered man’s name was. Pearson, a; resident of the town, and the oldest one of. the gang who muiderdd him was only 17 years' of age. . The day I quit work at Dimmitt’s, Tom Johnson told me and Hopkins that Hampton Windsor, who is a brother of Mrs. Pearson,' wanted us to kill old man Pearson. We said that we would not do it, as he was secesh. The next morning Mrs. Pearson and her daughter were talking to us about Mr. Pear son ; and urged ns to take him out and' kill him. They assigned as a reason for wanting us to kill him-that they were afraid he would kill them. We told them that we would not do it. That night after Mr. Pearson had gone to bed they urged us to take him out and kill him. We told them we would not do it. They told us that the old man said he was going to kill us, that we would not get away alive, and also that he intended to kill them. We said that he ought to be killed, but that we did not like to do it. They urged us all that morning—Wednesday, November 19— until 10 or 11 o’clock, when we consented to kill him. We then asked him to go out with us in the brush, that we wanted to talk with him. We went between a quarter and a half a mile from the house. I think that Tom John son first told him we werfe going to hang him. Tom Johnson had a rope with him. We all three put-it around his neck and hung him to a limb. He made no resistance. When he was dead, we took him down and threw him in a branch, covering the body with brush. The manner of killing him was thus: After placing the rope around his neck, Tom John son threw the end of the rope over the limb', when I and Tom Johnson lifted him up, and Hopkins stretched the rope by putting it over the limb. We took about sixty dollars from his pooket, dividing thirty dollars between us and giving the remainder to Mrs. Pearson and daughters. We also took two or three dollars in counterfeit silver from his pocket. Mrs. Pearson and daughters said that his brother made this money and he (PearsoD) passed it. We kept all the counterfeit money as a curi osity. After the murder we went baok to the house and remained there until evening. We told Mrs. Pearson and daughter what we had done, and they appeared much rejoiced over it. Wo told the woman where we had left the body. Truth from Brownlow. —The notorious old Parson Brownlow, although to subserve his own pecuniary interests he makes abolition speeches and defends the outrageous conduet of the administration, yet lets out some truth occasionally. In a recent published letter he says : “ The amount of corruption in every depart ment of the government is perfectly astound ing, and at the same time disheartening to a loyal man. If I were editinga public journal I would expose these frauds, this treachery, and all connected therewith, if it cost me my life." Still Hankering After the Negro.— When the army appropriation bill, which amounts in the aggregate to over $70,000,000 was before the House of Representatives, on Thursday last, Mr. Mallory, of Kentucky, offered the following amendment: Resolved, That no part of the money appro priated shall be so expended as to encourage the escape of slaves from their masters, dr to support and maintain slaves that do escape from their masters, or for any pnrposo of emancipation or colonization, or for any other object than the reestablishment of the author irv of the Constitution and the laws ol the United Stales over the Rebels. This was opposed by the Abolitionists in that body and defeated by a vote of 6G nays tc 33 yeas. So it seems that we are not yet doDc paying taxes to keep niggers. GOVERSIIEBT FRAUDS Nw York, Dec 26.
