Foreign Correspondence of ~ The Press." LONDON, December 21, 1861 Two subjects engross public attention le this country now, perhaps I might correctly say in Europe, also : the affair of the Trent and the death of Prince Albert. The impression is that the American Governm'ent will not comply with the British demand to sur render the Southern Ambassadors, Mr. Mason and 'Mr. Slidell, yet that the affliction and infliction of war with the United States will he evaded ,and avoided, somehow. At first, the cry " The British flag dishonored by a Yankee captain," raised by the Government papers, was undoubtedly echoed all over the country—except in Ireland, where Eng land's interests are very hostilely regarded—and a general feeling that war must ensue, as undoubtedly arose. Bat the feeling has gradually abated, and a hope is generally entertained that the affair will bo amicably settled, after all. How is the difficulty ; for no ono expects that the United States wilt have the good sense to deliver up the two worthless units of humanity whose arrest has caused the trouble, and it is understood that Palmerston, who is the real .ruler of the land, is resolved not to listen to any proposal for settling the question by arbitra tion. It is understood, also, that Prussia and Rus sia ate willing to act as mediators, separately or to gether—but the objection is that Prussia is too little of a maritime Power to understand the bearings of the case (!) and that Russia is avowedly friendly to the United States. France, it is said, assents to the general principles assumed by England in this matter. Belgium might be accepted, by England, as a mediator—but King Leopold is uncle to Queen Victoria, which might warp his judgment. Hol land, Spain, and Austria, are said to favor the American view of the cane. Lord Lyons is stated to have received instruc tions to narrow his demands, in courteous language, into the smallest minimum—so as to obtain au imme diate answer from the American Government, and save oven a week of procrastination. The objoot of this is to enable Palmerston to declare war with America before Parliament reassembles. It a wow UM occur during the Parliamentary session, it would be impossible to commence hostilities, in the Queen's name, without obtaining Legislative sanction. In 1857, Lord Palmerston commenced the war with China, during the recess, and when Parliament reassembled a vote of condemnation on his policy was passed. Give him opportunity to declare war with America, and he will risk Parlia ment's backing him up. He is belligerent, proba bly because he was Secretary of War during twen ty-one years, Bad glories in fishing in troubled waters. Moro than. that, as it is the etiquette of the Muter who engages England in a war to be allowed to carry her through it, he may not object to thus securing himself in office. This is a hard view,—but many politicians hero do not hesitate to vow it as theirs. Should war ensue, it will commence at ones, Pal merston knowing that when regularly catered into it, or at all events, with his majority in the House of Commons, Parliament will endorse him. Cob den will pfetest, if his health enable him to resume his prominent position / in the House, and Bright certainly will. 'Bright's resent speech at Roohdalo, against the war, is looked upon here as the most eloquent oration since Canning's great speech in 1826, on the occasion of his recognising the inde pendence of the South American Republics. Me thinks it finer, for it is full of fads as well as argu ments. -in truth, Canning was too much of a rhe toritician. Bright, with less scholarship, makes a more telling speech. Bright believes what he says—Canning wanted the true earnestness which self-conviction bestows. In 1854, Bright and Cob den protested against England's going out of her way, to play Napoleon's game, by joining in the war upon Russia. Had their advice been taken, England would have been saved an expenditure of one hundred million pounds sterling, and the loss, of forty thousand soldiers. Yet, it would not sur prise me •to hear,-were there a general election now, of the electdra of Birmingham turning against Bright, and not re-eleoting him. Yon must know thatßirmingliant largely manufactures arms and any accoutrements, and a war would be highly ttoceptable to them on account of the employment it would give, and the profits it must yield. In a abort time, if things proceed favorably, Bright will be one of the richest men in the Mouse of Commons—not an unpleasing prospect for a pub lic man not yet fifty years old. It seems that, three years ago, ho and some of his friends pur chased the Dyliffe and Dyfngym lend and copper mines, in Oardlganalairo, Wales, for £24,000. Tho first of these yields a clear profit of £l,OOO a month, and the other of £2OO. As the money is mado it is expended in explorations and working, and the yield will be immense, beyond any expeotation, it is said. Bright bought his friends out very soon; and is about leaving cotton.spinning and devoting himself to mining. It is expected that, in six years, his profits will be £lOO,OOO a year, or these shouts. Mysterious hints in The Ttmes seem to shadow out, either that the Prince of Wales is to obtain position, in some responsible way, in the governing, of the empire, or that ho has been a little " fast" at Cambridge, and wants pidling in. The latter can scarcely be the case, for' all accounts speak of liis steady habits and good morals. It is odd, now that ho is no more, how the newspapers, which attacked Prince Albert in 1854 and in 1857 for meddling with public affairs and interfering with his wife about them, now praise him for " the assistance which, not only daily but almost, hourly, his prae tmal good sense gave her Majesty during many years.V The fact is, I hear, that the Queen was frequently annoyed by his persistent interfe rence with her routine duties, and therefore encouraged ,him to employ his • time in pa tronizing.' Exhibitions, presiding at milli° meet ings, and laying tho foundation stones of publiti buildings. Still, he was of essential service, I doubt not, in correcting, by his prudence and common sense, the flightiness of Victoria's charac ter. It would be a sort of misprision of treason for any one to say so hero, in print, but the general im pression is that Victoria has what is figuratively called "a bee in her bonnet," and that, all through her reign, she has Leaded, some mind stronger then her own to guide her. Perhaps this was the reason why, from her accession in Juno, 1837, to her mar riage in February, 1840, Lord Melbourne was near ly domiciled in Buckingham • Palace or Windsor Castle, Which made Punch record as a remarkable event that, once in a certain year, smoke had boon - seen to• ascend-from the kitchen-chimney of his Lordship's house in South street.. Considering the .ropated atato of her mind, and the necessity of hav ing it gently controlled by some strong influence, perhaps the meaning of the hints about the Prince of Wales may be ascertained=-it is hoped that he will be steady and serious, so as to take his father's place in directing the Queen. When it is remem bered in what condition of mind her grandfather passed the last ten years of his reignithe proba bility of such direction being needed will readily be apprehended. For ten years past, there has been no kind feel ings between Albert and Palmerston. The latter strongly remonstrated against the Prince's making a point of being present, and of interfering, when ever he had an audience with the Queen on publio business. Further, at the end of 1851, being then Foreign Secretary, under Lord John Russell, he positively refused to alters Prince Albert to revise, or even to inspect, his despatches to British ambas sadors abroad. There was quite a contest about it, then, and during the Russian War, Queen Vic toria unwillingly siding with her husband, as ho made a personal matter of it. Palmerston carried his point so far as to have his despatches pass di rectly into the Queen's handl. No doubt, the Prince subsequently saw them there., Palmerston's pertinacity made Prince Albert inimical, to his dying day. Lord John Russell, to curry favor at Court, sided with Albert, fixed a quarrel on Palmerston, because ho had written a private note to Lord Normandy, at Pule, approving of Napoleon's coup d'etat, deolared that this was an usurpation of the Royal functions, and compelled him to resign office. During the Russian War, when it was charged on the Prince, by the Liberal news 'papers, that ho was counselling the Queen to back up the neutrality of Prussia—" supporting Ger man intereats," was the term used—the popu lace actually hooted the Prince in the streets of London, and ministers had to give tho strongest pos- Eible denial, in Parliament, to the ohargo. But, ittime, at last, sots all things oven," and three months after that, Palmerston had the pleasure of overthrowing.. Lord John and his whole Cabinet. After that, too, in 1855, when Lord John awfully blundered es special envoy to the Conference of Vienna, on the Russian War, Palmerston compelled bim to resign the Colonial Seals, and employs him now as an underling. It is absurd to see seine of the papers mentioning the " deep sorrow" of Lord Palmerston at Albert's death. Most likely ho is not sorry at getting rid of an intermeddler. The dead Prince will bo privately interred the day niter to•morrow. Ho Wits a well-disposed man, quiet and cautions, and a good husband and father. He knew something about many things—but knew few things thoroughly. Thus, he etched a little, poetized a little, wrote a little, sang a little, and so on. The public speeches, written for him by other persons, were committed to heart if chart—were PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, JANUARY 6; 1862. road from paper when long. Ile never caught the. English aocent. The adulation heaped upon him by the press generally is sickening and nearly unanimous. The only journal which has attempted to analyze his character, in an Impartial man nor, is The Critic, a literary paper of high character and no small independence. It com bats the magniloquent- assertion of the The Times that, by Prince Albert's death, "tile nation has sustained the greatest loss that could,posribly have fallen upon it," but says the real loss is to the Queen, of him who was so well able to counsel her. It says, "Of the personal °hareems of the Prince Consort much need not be said. If he was cold in his manner, his sincerity of heart was proved be yond all doubt; and if he was economical, oven to penuriousness, in his monetary transactions, he never lost sight of the interest of those who wore faithful to his service. His reserve may be fully ac counted for by the peculiar position in which ho.was placed ; his economy was, no doubt, a part of his edu cation. It was a peculiarity which resulted from his personal quali: ies that, though ho was the first pa tron of the Arts m this country, artists wore not personally ambitious of his patronage; and, al though the future fate of the great schemes which he devised for educating the taste of this country is yet uncertain, we shall not be surprised if at some time not very far removed, the House of COIIIIIIOI3§ is informed that the Art Scheme, like the Edema tion Scheme, is too expensive, and so, little by little, under the warmth of Ministerial coonomy r. the Prince Consort's favorite edifices will melt awAy'art if they were palaces built of ice." It adds, what is for the first time assorted, "that up to the time of his death, tho Prince Consort raised his voice ener getically against the baste with which England is rushing into a war with the United States—an event which be denounced as subversive of her interests, dangerous to the real sources of her power, and certain to ho advantageous only to the despotic, Powers of Europe. Whether that view was right or wrong, ouch, wo believe, was the faith in which the Prime Consort died." Throughout England, on the day of the funeial, business will be almost generally suspended. Re spect for the loss sustained by the Queen and her children is very great. An old Londoner, who has just called upon me, recollects that the burial•day of George the Fourth was joyously kept as a merry holiday. It will bo different now. ALMA.. Off Savannah.

WYANDOTTE, OFF TYDEE ISLAND, GA., Deo. 25, 1861 Having gone into commission on the 3d of De cember, we weighed anohor from Ellts' Island, in New York harbor, on the 13th inst. The Wyan dotte is one of the purchased steamers, originally the Westeln Port, roasting between Now York and Charleston. She is a mew propeller, of 464 tone, with a battery of four 325, and a 24-pound howitzer on the foreoastle, and is in command of Lieutenant Commanding It. M. MeArann, a Phila. delphian_by birth, who has seen over twenty years' service. After arriving in Port Royal harbor, we wore detailed for service hero, and oarno to anther on Saturday morning last. Found hero steamers Seminole and Henry Andrews, and gunboat Pem bina, and have been subsequently joined by the_ Pawnee and Ottawa. Went on shore on Tuesday, in Company with Acting .Master M. D. Carpenter, Dr. Burlingham, Paymactor Hoy, and Chief Engineer Carr, and re ported ,to General Wright, oortimanding.the Donee encamped on the island. The fort on Tybee Island is a ‘, Martello" tower, pierced for heavy guns, and built of a oomposition of sand, cement, and fine sea shells, forming a solid mass, almost impiegnalde. The indentation of a shot on the harbor front le scarcely diseernible, so repellant is the material. The walls aro of . great thickness, and the position commending. The Seventh Connectiout and forty fifth Now 'fork aro encamped in the vicinity, and are actively engaged in throwing up additional earthworks and mounting heavy guns; the ordnance department is well supplied with the ne cessary stores. We waded through the sand ankle deep, passing gangs of men with picks and Shovels, and were making our way to the surgeon's quarters when we halted on a high point of land, a saudhill of Rata rat formation, commanding a beautiful view of the bay and fleet at anchor. Looking towards Pori Pulaski a volume of smoke obscured it for any etent, and almost immediately a whirr through the air, in the viomity where we stood, gave us plainly to understand that tbo rebels bad chosen this poeu 'lbw mode of transmitting their congratulations upon the safe arrival of the Tiryandod, he - olliaChi and men. The shell, for rifled shell it was, struck the beach, about fifty yards from us, and buried itself in the sand without exploding. Chief Engineer Carr succeeded in dislodging it, after a neatest with ono of the troops for its custody, and carried it to the cutter In triumph. Usually, but ono sentinel occupies this point of land; end with strong glasses from the fort, and a setting sun striking directly upon our little party, we were, no doubt, rendered conspicuous, and selected as a target. The beach is marked with stakes, showing the range of the guns, and evidencing considerable proolsion in firing. The British steamer Fingal , which ran the blockade last spring, and has been in Confederate waters silloo then, is reported by one of the United States vessels which has recently returned from a reconnoissance, to be in readiness for a aoeond at tempt. She is said to be laden with cotton and rioe, and to have a oonsiderablo amount of spook, on board; a prize worth taking certainly. "But God is Over All." [For Tile Prem..)

The present condition of our army is a canes of severe and painful anxiety. The courage of our troops is not abated, the eagerness for the fray is not relaxed, and yet demoralization is creeping in, I wo fully believe, from the insane and reckless!ne ' gleet of the Government to sustain and to cultivate the spirit of our soldiery. There is too much drunkenness among the officers on the Potomac, and too mush vacant idling among the mon. We aro informed, as a positive faot, that, in the majority of the army on the Potomac, the practice of regimental drills has fallen into complete disuse, This alone would be sufficient to domoralizo any army in circumstances such as ours. The drill is not only essential for schooling the soldier ; it fulfils other vastly important and essential par poses (It develops and educates the physique, fortifies the soldier against disease, and, what is per haps the most impOrtant moral consideration of all, gives him occupation for a portion of his time each day, and protects him, at least measurably, against that canker-worm of the army--ennui. What can be predicted but utter demoralization for an army whose oondition is that of tens of thousands of men, living in utter idleness, grovelling in their tents, with no other occupation than what is afforded by the greasy pack of cards, that is the inevitable in mate of every tent, or the yellow-covered novel, whose wretched and perhaps filthy entertainment has more than once gone the rounds of the com pany. We cannot shut our eyes to the fact that the army is becoming .a name of terror and dread to th o minds of our citizens. Tho newspapers are still filled' with advertisements of bonuses for "substi tutes," although the War Department has adopted a rule restricting the number of substitutions to one in each company. The rates paid for substi tutes aro enormous. Wo are informed that they average from two hundred to two hundred and fifty dollars; and we have been told of a recent instance where fifteen hundred dollars was paid for the prompt prochrement of' a substitute to take the place of a private suddenly constrained to leave the army. Evidence stares us in the face of the un willingness of men to accept the life of famine, dirt, and vacant idleness in the army. Richmond is filled with'aoldiers -who have come out of the hospitals, or who have got hereon some pretence or other, applying for discharges, and striving and wriggling s in all sorts of ways to get out of the army. It was but a few days ago that a soldier, discharged from -one of the hospitals hero, com mitted suicide rather than be constrained to return to the army. There is no unwillingness among our young men to serve their country. There are thousands who would willingly go, with their lives on their alcoves, to battle with the enemy, and to attest a devoted and courageous patriotism, but who dread to betake themselves to the wretched, half-fed life of dirt, vacancy, and idleness, in the maps. This is the restraint upon volunteering. The Government will, in vain, essay to remove it by a bounty law for re enlistments—the provision of which, by the way, for company reorganization, bas already, we under stand proved a fruitful source of intrigue and de moralization in our army—without other Measures that will reach to the root of the evil. The au thorities at Richmond may assure themselves that, as long as the health of the army is neglected, and it is maintained in its dirty, sluggard condition, the drills neglected, the half rations of commissaries winked at, the rowdyism of officersmissed over, and the vacancy and idleness of ~ a defensive policy" held out as rewards to volunteering, the army will not be filled and replenished but from few ()lasses of our people. Why was it that when our soldiers were daily dying by hundreds the Government did not show the common humanity of the small measure of in stituting a medical commission to examine the camps, and, if possible, check the progress and ravages of disease? Why was it that, when the Government had control of the whole lino of trans portation from the Carolinas and Louisiana to the depots at-Manassas and Centreville, and could have bought sugar in New Orleans at three cents, It per mitted our army to suffer for months for rico, sugar, and molasses, and winked at the practice of buying sugar from the sutlers+ at forty cents a pound ? Why le it that to-day the Government rocks not what it reads, turd tolerates habits of intemperance among officers and the disuse of regimental drills in our army on the Potomac? All these tugs of omission and negligence, which have contributed to the demoralization of our army, might have bean avoided. It is not too late to repair them. We are firmly convinced that the reform of the condition of our army with a wise and firm hand and tbo holding out of rewards, not to avarice or Idleness, but to the true patriotio enthusiasm of our ountry in the prospeot of an active military policy and of a share of military glory, will provide the best security for re-enlistment and the most suc cessful stimulant to volunteering. We aro as firmly convinced that no other measures will restore the spirit of the volunteer and the enthusiasm of the country. [From the Richmond Dispatch of 2d lest ] Removal of Yankee Prisoners. COLOMBIA, S. C., Jan. I.—All the Yankee pri soners from Charleston, including Colonel Corcoran, arrived hero this afternoon in a special train. They were mot at the depot by the Rebel Guard, of this tity, and conducted to jail. Western Virginia. Intelligence from Western Virginia represents bat many of the best citizens of Raleigh and Fay ' ate counties have had to abandon their homes and leek refuge in Monroe, in consequence of the ma ngos perpetrated by invading parties of Yankees. Some, having been captured by the foo, refused to take the degrading oath of allegiance, and wore sent to Columbu s Ohio. The people of our western 'unties are in a high state of excitement, and are ' irging .the Government to send more troops for heir protection. McClellan and the Lincoln Congress. '.. It is currently reported that a movement is on . loot in the 'Washington Congress to supersede Gone ;al McClellan by the Massachusetts lawyer, Na- thaniel P. Banks. They compfain that McClellan is too Blow, and they want a commander why will respond to the popular clamor for an onward move ment. The Yankees have been eight months ertA gaged in the work of subjugating the Routh, but aro still as far from accomplishing Mgr purpose as they were at the outset. We do not vender, there fore, at their impatience. The Surrender of Messrs. Mount anti A despatch received in offrolal quarters stater that the Baltimore Sun, of December 30, publishes Seward's communication to Lord Lyons, releasing Messrs. Meson and Slidell. The wily Abolition Secretary says they are yielded' to claims intrinsi cally just, and in conformity with American doc trines. The Georgia Troops The General Assembly of Georgia. has passed an act authorizing all volunteers and other troops in the service from that State to vote at all elections, without reference to the place where they may be in service at the time of suoh elections. Re-enlistment of Troops We feel perfectly justified in saying, from in formation in our possession, that fully seven eighths of the Virginia troops now in service will•re-enlist when their present terms expire. Anna' of a Vessel from Havana at Mobile. A schooner arrived at Mobile, Alabama, on the 27th ult., from Havana, bringing s cargo of coffee, sulphur, medicines, &c. The blockading fleet saw her as she mime into port, but Couldn't catch her. Good seamanship and good pilotage brought her through. The War on the Seacoast. We tako tho following from tho Charleston Mr tray of the 30th ult. Although matters aro getting quite brisk along the neighboring coast, there does not seem to•be• that imminence of battle which was believed} a• few days ago, to exist. On Saturday Major Gene•• ral Lee and staff visited Brigadier General Evans' military district, and spent the entire day with the , hero of the "Stone Bridge" and of Leesburg, making observations in that quarter. Tho ene my's gunboats are still in sight of White Point, but it is believed that this point of the inland commu nication hes been occupied by the enemy for the purpose of more cffectually blockading us. The Yankees believe that our commissioners and many valuable cargoes have found exit in this direction. One of their amusements consists in shelling the• residences of the planters, on both sides of the streams, and if their practice was even tolerable, much property would thus be destroyed. Bftt, fortunately, their gunner 7 is so bad that as many as twenty shells are sometamesfired at a large horse before " a hit" is made. Another less expensive game is the killing of cattle with long-range rifles, and then sending the' barge ashore with an armed' party to recover the " spoils." On Sunday morning, two of the enemy's gun boats approached White Point, and, after firing several shells at General Evans' pickets, retired. The steamer Planter ran out to sea a short dis• tame on Sunday afternoon to reconnoitre, and. en countered one of the blockading steamers: A num ber of shots were exchanged. Those of the enemy fell short, but ono of the shots from the Planter is believed to have taken effect. This probably ac-. counts for the heavy firing which was heard yester day afternoon. It was-mentioned on the street yesterday that the enemy's gunboats had been sounding Stone Inlet and placing buoys in the channel. At station No. 2, as elsewhere on the Charleston and Savannah Railroad, everything wears a busy impact, and the soldiers are very anxious for a brush with the Yankees. This port was blockaded yesterday by a steamer, a bark, and a schooner, the last supposed• to be a merchantman. Texas Items. Tho Galveston Civilian of the 18th ult. says : Last night's mail brought us advioes-from the Rio Grande to tho effect that a Lincoln steam pro pallor bud arrived, and was blockading the river.

Auspices. and Opening with Evil Tidings. (Prom the Richmond Examiner of January 2.] The year closed under gloomy auspices ; with a cheek at Eranesville, and a rumored disaster in Missouri. The year which yesterday began has opened with evil tidings. We fear that there is no doubt of the fact that the Northern Uhion has con sented to the surrender of Masoir and Slidell; and with that event all hope of an immediate alliance' between the Southern Confederacy and Groat Bri tain must cease. Under, etlia,r ojseEttgultgOgoa .wq,ntietolotlEtt,* consolation for the , ass byteadoilug e ineffacea ble disgrace that fella on the enemy. , Never, slue@ the humiliation of the Doge and Senate, or (Amon before the footstool of Timis XIV., has any nation consented to a degradation so deep. If Lincoln and Seward intended to give them up at a menace, why, their people will ask, did they evercepture the am bassadors? Why the exultant hurrah over the event that went up from nineteen millions of throats? Why the glorification of Wilkes? Why the coward insults to two unarmed gentlemen, their close im prisonment, and the bloodthirsty movements of Congress in their regard? But moot of alt, why did the Government of Lincoln indulge a full Cabinet with, a unanimous resolution that, under no cir cumstances, should the United States surrender Messrs. Mason and Slidell? Why did they en courage the popular sentiment to a similar position ? The United States Government and people swore the great oath to stand on the ground they had taken; the American eagle was brought out; he screeched his loudest soreeoli of defiance—then iillropt like a crayon cock Me conquered wing," at the first growl of the lion. This is the attitude of the enemy. It would greatly console us to con template him, did we not know thatno new exhibi tion of insolence and cowardice could sink him lower in the world's estimation. Tho United States has lost no character by an exhibition of poltroonery as yet unknown in the diplomacy of other nations. That country had already sunken beneath the reach of infamy. The only charge of bayonets made during the war by Lincoln's soldiers was that of Fairfax'® marines on Miss Slidell; and the sur render of her father at the first menace of Groat Britain will create neither more disgust nor further surprise. Nor can wo hope for a popular revulsion in the Northern people against the folly and pusillanimity of their rulers. People and rulers are alike. It is only in the sentiment of England that wo can mini a ray of encouragement. It is certain that the British wanted war ; that they were confident of getting it ; and that they will be bitterly disappointed at the unsatisfactory result. Now, this result, though ap parently due to the lily livers of the Yankees, is partially attributable to the managemont of the Palmerston Ministry. That Cabinet gave Seward and Lincoln the chance of humiliation, when it could have taken redress with the high-hand, and shut the door to apology by recalling Lyons, send ing home Adams, and setting the British fleet at once in full sail for the scene of action. The Pal merston Ministry is the friend of the North, end is directly antagorustioal to the majority of the Bri tish nation. On these data we venture the prophe cy that in less than three months this ministry will fall from power. Whenever it does so, we may anticipate immedi ate intervention by Great Britain in the affairs of this continent. The inclinations and interests of that people are so closely united on this one point that we do not hesitate to declare the result a mo ral necessity. But, for some time, we may be left alone in this quarrel. Let us not repino,_though the task bo heavy on the arm. If we would re spect ourselves, consolidate our nationality, insure our future independence, and transmit a herolo memory to posterity, we must prove to ourselves and to all others that' our own unaided strength is sufficient for our own redemption, If it is not, there remains one resolution by which every citi zen that is worthy , of freedom can avoid the sight of its extinction and the spectacle of his country's ruin—to die in the lost ditch of their defense. Anticipated Federal Attack The Richmond Dispatch of Friday says : A private despatch was received yesterday from Csetreville, by a prominent military officer now in Richmond, in which it was stated that the indica tions point to a Federal attack at an early day on livansport, and the probability was that a simulta neous attack would be made at other points on the Potomac. operations of the Butler Expedition. The Richmond' Dispatch. of Friday says : A private despatch has been received here, dated at Mobile on yesterday, which states that Picayune Butler is at Ship Island. The despatch also states that the Federals have nominal possession of Biloxi, and it Is believed will occupy all the towns on the coast in that region. They captured two cannon at Biloxi and there were no small arms there for them to seize. It is stated that they landed there from 5,000 to 7,000 troops, and it is further rumored that they express the determination to push forward their forces to Jackson. Destruction of the Richmond Theatre and other Buildings by Fire—Great Loss of Property. The performance given nt the Richmond Theatre on Wednesday night was destined, as subsequent events have proved, to be the last ever given in that " Temple of the Muses." At 4 o'clock yesterday morning, just as the bell announced the hour, the theatre was discovered to be on fire in sundry places, and hardly before the astonished members of the Fire Brigade could draw a long breath, the flames buret forth from the build ing, casting a lurid glare over the sky, and illu minating the whole city. Up to a very late hour on Wednesday night, as we learn, there were no traces of fire in the build ing ; and as it burst out, when it did make its ap• pearanco, from every conceivable spot, and burnt, from the combustible nature of the building, with the rapidity of thought, the inference is, that the author of the mischief knew his business and per formed it with a master band. In two hours' time nothing but the fragments of two of the massive walls of the theatre remained to tell the passer what it once was. We have seldom seen the " fire god" more energetic in the performance of his duties. If anything was saved we did not learn the fact, and therefore suppose that, not only the building but all of its adjuncts in the way of scenery, decorations, wardrobe, manuscripts, old plays, cost ly furniture and pictures went also by the board. We confess to a feeling of regret at this untoward calamity, for however much the building may have been at theca of late perverted from its original design as a place for the representation of the "legitimate drama," it was a landmark of other days whose summary abolishment we 'witnessed with no pleasurable feelings. The largo brick building next to the theatre, oc cupied by David A. Brown as a saddle shop for TWO CENTS. 1 many yearal. was set on fare and can: wined', together i with the kitchen and ont-honsesappurtenant thereto. 1 The upper paet was °coupled by Mrs. Jackson as a mantua•makingshop.

N. W. Nelson, a tailor, who wangles the third house from the -Theatre,-lost $5OO by the burnirig of his kitchen, and about $250 in goods carried off by chevaliers d'industrie, who undertook to help him save bis-stook. The beat from the burning buildings was Intenge and the livid sparks were_ carried as far as thU basin. A number of 'dwellings in the rear of the theatre,. owing to the high wind, were in imminent danger of total , destruction. The houses. on Orate street, between Seventh and Eighth streets, occupied by Messrs. J. M. Lind say and Thomas Rawson, were set on fre by sparks falling on the roofs. The furniture was moved out of both. The roof of Mr. Lawson's dwelling was nearly burned off, and that gentleman, who was lying ill at the time, had to be removed on a cot to Dr. Bolton's residence. Owing tt, the exertions of the firemen, all houses, save those in immediate proximity to the theatre, were kept from burning. Two brick buildings on Seventh. street} opposite the theatre, °coupled as whisky shops, were saved by the timely ex ertions of those having the steam fire-engine in tow. The fire was undoubedly the work of design, and originated in the theatre. The latter was owned, at the time of the catastrophe, by Mrs Elizabeth Mcgill, and hummed for $25,000, distri buted as follows, viz: $5,000 in the Albemarle office, $5,000 in the Jefferson 'office. $5,000 in the Lynchburg Bose, $4,000 -in the Merchant's, and $6,000 in the Richmond Fire Insuranoe Company. The owner estimates her less at $50,000, and, we dare say, that figure would hardly more than cover it. We have heard, and believe, that all of the thea trical company are sufferers in wardrobes and pro perties, which losses must bear heavy on them at thiapartioularjunottuu. Kunkel, the famous les see, is•put down as the loser of sl,2oo—all of his private papers and property were burnt. Professor Loobman and the orchestra leet.ssoo worth of mu sical instruments and sheet music. Frank Ehlers, maohinist of the theatre, lost several sets of splendid tools ; in fact, nobody officially connected with the place but what lost something. Professor Hewitt, manager of the theatre, is also a heavy sufferer in property that neither money nor time can restore. We have understood that tie owner of 'the thea tre hetannounced her intention of re-building it at an early day. It will oost $30,000 to put it up again. The Rebel Treasury Tho Riehmond Enquirer of the 30th says that the Hon. Wm. M.

Their names were 'Dennis Corcoran 'and Mike O'Brien, - Irishmen by birth, but for some years residents of New Orleans. As the hour for execu tion arrived, some tan or fifteen thousand soldiers arrived upon the ground, and wore formed on three sides of the spot selected. The men were brought up in a wagon, and ac companied by a. catholic priest. They were dressed in a full suit of "Tiger" uniform, and, being mon of fine manly forms, presented a splen- did appearance. 'They bore the ordeal bravely. Alighting from the wagon, each walked up to the stakes preparod, for them, and kneeled while their bands were tied and the bandage adjusted over their eyes. Then came a moment of breathless suspense, and the next the bullets of their comrades sent their souls into eternity. Both were buried near the spot of their ignominious death, and ac cording to the rites of the Catholio Church. The most affecting part of the scene was immedi ately following the discharge of the musketry. One of the men bad a brother in the orowd who, before the smoke ef the volley cleared from the spot, ran to his side, and supported him as his life-blood ebbed away, and felt the last quiver of mortality as the soldier's body fell into his arms. It was heart rending to see the poor brother's agony. The life of dishonor and crime were both forgotten at one thought of that fire of brotherly love that had burned through years of sin. The death of the criminal was borne with stolidity, but the simple sight of such heartfelt, brotherly grief moistened every eye. A Rebel View of Federal Affairs. [Special correspondence of the Charleston Courier.] RICHMOND, Deo. 9, 1861. While calm yet prevails along our lines from Winchester to the Peninsula, and no recut* move ments have taken place indicative of an intended advance by the Federals, the belief is not yet aban doned by either ourgenorals or Cabinetoffieers that we are to have a great battle To use the language of a distinguished - Sonthernstatesman, in the course of a conversation to•day, a It Is not in the nature of things for a Northern army, wherever it may be, whether in Kentucky, on the coast, or oil the Poto mac, to allow the winter months to pass without striking a blow at some vital point where they may gain a success upon which they can retire for the remainder of the season." In fact, not until the present time has the' Lincoln Government really been in a condition to carry out the programme an nounced at the start. The battle of the 21st was a movement premature and unadvised, made only in obedience to the resistless 'von yeputi, to still, if possible, the demo palpitations of the popular heart. The campaign was not fairly open ed, and those grand collateral denionstrations which originated in the comprehensive mind of Scott could not take place banana of their very magnitude and the impracticability of adequate preparation. Since that time, hotever, the details of the programme have been completed. Immense armies, the greatest the modern world has ever seen, have been organized and placed upon the foot ing of regular troops ; competent officers have, in a measure, token the place of military coxcombs and aspiring politicians : great fleets have boen created and sent to the Southern coast, and the season hav ing arrived when these armadas can operate advan tageously upon our shores, they nave come fully prepared to perform their bloody mission. The Federal plan, therefore, as regards its conception, Is at last thoroughly complete, and nothing re mains to be done but to bring in play the elements of destruction note combined. Procrastination is daily adding to our strength and their „weakness. To allow the winter to peas in idleness, with only an occasional foray here and there, without wide sing some substantial success, is to break the back of the Northern Government. Millions of dollars aro involved, to say nothing of the prosperity of the Federal cause. It is plain, therefore, that something must be done, and quickly. The huge machinery of the campaign is in thorough working order, for the first time and to let it lie and mat beneath the snows of a whole: winter is ne part or parcel of the de signs of the Northern General. As yet, the only success that has redounded to Northern arms has been at Port Royal. Physioally, as compared with the immensity of the undertaking, its results have amounted to nothing, beyond the capture of a few hundred negroes and a few islands. Morally, its effect has been equally unsatisfactory to all but the ignorant portion of the Northern people. The educated and Intelligent, on both sides of the water, are as perfectly aware as the determined Sonthrons now up in arms, that the advantage gained by the Yankees must stop where It is. Something, therefore, of a more stupendous and valuable character must be achieved, before the longings of the Northern people can be satisfied, or a stride taken towards the accomplishment of the designs they have in view. The subjugation of the South is not merely taking possession of two or three abandoned sand forts, or driving from them their little bands of defenders. The substantial work of the campaign yet remains to be done. The immense_ outlay of the Northern Government must have its remuneration. The professions of their political and military leaders must be vindicated by being tried, if not realized, and the strength of the two Powers be put to ono fair and final test. To do all this, there must be a grander demonstration against the rebellious South than has over yet taken place. It is the impression among many who bestow careful, comprehensive thought upon the subject, that the North is already satisfied of its inability to restore the Union. and that its armies are now only fighting for a settlement. It is evident enough to all who know the pride and temper of the Yankee people that they will never consent to a peace until they have either been whipped into it by the bank ruptcy of their own Government or they have won victories. As long as their money lasts they will struggle desperately on their fruitless purpose of extermination ; but when this isigone ' and the Go vernment is forced to repudiate its liabilities, its fleets and armies gaining none but temporary ad vantages, while our own nation grows in strength and greatness, then, and only then, can we look for the appearance of the bright morning star which will usher in our glorious existence.

The War in South Carolina [From the Charleston Courier, Dee. 14.] Our enemies are powerful eta the water. Our navy, in comparison with theirsf is abiolutely con temptible.

Thus- far, notwithstanding their loud boasts and' terrible threats, they have done nothing.with their frigistee and gunboats that has jostified:their_oonfident pre mises and intemperate exultation.: Their that naval expedition was a miserable abortroa. -The second, far more expensive and formidable than the one under command of the illustrioas Butler, though partially successful in attaining some of the cherish ed objects for whioh it was raised, has reflected no glory on their cause Bitt their vivid force will enable them to disturb and damage es on our long line of soeconst, without giving ta the opportunity to repel them.

While it is impracticable to defend every neeessi bin point open to the sea, and cm are powerless for the present to dislodge the enemy frees the islands they now hold, our hope'. fie that the few successes the marauding partied meet with will so embolden and delight these plunderers that they will attempt to penetrate the country for BOOM dig- • tance from their armed vessels. :Reckoning upon the probability of those more daring and extensive incuraions, companies are being :organised for • the express' purpose of sntereepeing and - aaptu.: ring these bands of marauders.

Despite of the great noise the people of Lincoln. dam have made over the reduction of the entrench ments of Port Boyal, the substantial profit they have, realized from that exploit will not compensate them for the low of one of the larger of their Ves sels, -which the righteous judgment of God overtook and sunk with its two thousand souls. And what has that vast fleet, with its packed men and big guns, accomplished towards the subjugation of South Carolina? If these vesselshad contained any other soldiers than the twenty thousand men in uniform they brought to our shores, they would have at tempted to obtain posscsston.of some ingwerabta point of strategic importance; and it is passible, perhaps probable, that they would have been sae coastal. But instead of endeavoring to mike good the Splendid promises they made, and at least save themselves from contempt, they only take posses sion of those places which we cannot reach for want of a navy, and that under the protection of their formidable guns. And yet this is the people who are to conquer and enslave South Carolina—aye, the South. If this is the way they propose. to accomplish this mighty undertaking, they would , do it as effectually had they stayed at home. But we are threatened with another fleet of four. score vessels, carrying terrible guns and numerous. troop, and Benjamin Franklin Butler. This.arma da is to destroy Charleston and Savannah, and. complete the work begun by Dupont and Sherman. Both these cities are impregnable to an attaokfrom. sea, and we cannot bring ourselves to believe the there is pluck enough in the enemy for thens,toxsua. the risk of an attack upon us by land. We are. however, perfectly prepared for this tinlikely event. They may have the odds of numbers in their favor, but we have other and vastly more importent ad vantages.

From New Orleans We have received a copy of the New Weans Picayune of Deo. 21. It gives those items in it! city - column : Yesterday evening, at about 6,6"chiele, the fine residence d Mr. Victor David, hardware merchant, situated No. 42 St. Peter street ; between. Chartres and Royal streets, was discovered on fire. 'As Beim' as the alarm was given several fire companies were on the spot, and though the raging element seemed to have made considerable headway in. the upper story, they succeeded in extinguishing It ere it could attack the lower floors. The roof of the 'building was entirely destroyed, and the remainder of the dwelling was so flooded that the lom was considerable. The Are originated an almost mys terious manner, an the garret, which had been shut up for a longtime. The arsenal, which is situated just opposite, was the object of considerable speculation. As a great quantity of cartridges, rounds, and gunpow der, are stored in a room of that building, it was feared at a time' that a spark falling on the roof would set it on fire. Mid such an accident taken place, an explosion would have followed, sulfa:deafly powerful to destroy-the public buildings on Jackson Square and the residences around. As a measure of precaution, a few energetic men took upon them selves to transport all that powder, box by box, from the arsenal to the armory of the Orleans Guard, on Orleans street. This task was a fatiguing one, and most dangerous, fo? the laze, by which they bad to pass, was fall of people, and as many among them were smoking, the least imprudence might have caused the very accident which they cedes sated to prevent, and blown to atoms many a per son in the orowd. Luckily for them all, the Or leans Guard returned just at that time from their drill on the levee, and atter clearing the way from the arsenal to their armory, they formed a double line between them two places, and all the remain ing boxes being passed from ono man to another, were rapidly carried to a safe place. At To'elook, when the fire was entirely put eut, the gunpowder was again removed to the arsenal. The remains of Colonel E. F. Terry, of the Texan Rangers, who fell gloriously in an engagement with the enemy at Green river, Kentucky, are expeoted to arrive this morning, at 11 o'clock, on a train of the Jackson Railroad. Two companies of the First Brigade will be detached by Colonel L. A. Char ponnet to receive the body of this- bravo °Meer at the railroad depot, and escort it to the City Hall, where it will lie in state until 4} o'clock. Then all the troops of the First Division, in full uniform and with Bide-arms, will form a line to escort those glorious remains from Lafayette Square to the fbrry landing of the Opelousas Railroad, where a train will take the body to Berwick's Bay, and thence it will be transported by steamer and stage-coaches to its last resting-place in Texas. There were 1,840 families supplied yesterday with 2,000 loaves of broad, 138 bushels eons meal, 11 barrels rice, 12 barrels molasses, 2 barrels vine gar, 9 beevee, 51 kits mackerel, esaoks sweet po tatoes, 13 sacks turnips, 500 cabbages, 300 bunches greens, 300 do. turnips, 200 do. leeks, 400 pump kins—one of the finest day's work of the season. The Fate of the Bridge-Burners A correspondent of the Nashville Patriot, writ ing from Xnoxville, Tennessee, under date of Dee. 14, gives the following account of the hanging of one of the bridge•burners : On Tuesday last, live minutes after 12 M., the execution of Charles Alexander Hann, convicted of being engaged in the recent conspiracy to burn the bridges on the railroad in East Tennessee, took place just outside the corporation limits of the city, in the presence of a large concourse of citizens and soldiers. A deep feeling seemed to pervade the largo audience in sympathy for this deluded man, and manifestations of it were not unfrequent. He was convoyed front the city prison to the %allow% (Continued on Fourth Paco.)
