UESDAY; DECEMBER 16, 1862
THE WAR.
From every Department and Division of our army
we have indications of an energy in the prosecution
of the war tuaequaltd • in its previous history. • Our
Government, with its army and navy reorganized,
and more powerful than ever, is about to strike a se
ries of blows at the rebels, the contemplation of which
may well cause them to quake for fear during the-pre-
sent temporary suspense. The Riohmond Examiner,
in reviewing the piesent attitude of "affhirs, with nice
criticism, remarks that the two great Southern lines
of communication are in danger of capture at any
time by the Federal forces—the one at Chattanooga,
Tennessee, by General Rosecrans, the other at Pe-
tersburg by General Banks. •We have information
this morning of the sailing of an expedition from
Port Royal, the design of which is the capture
of Mobile. Our armies in the Southwest are
again read• to move. General McClernand's - ex
pedition has, for the most part, sailed for its desti
nation ; and we may expect some good news from it
- soon.. Anxiety is alone expressed by the people in
regard to Oen. Burnside's Army of the Potomac,
, This is because to this army the General-in-Chief
has confided Me greatest work of the war. It will
have to do the• hardeSt fighting and the hardest
inarehing of any other. It will have to suffer more:
It will have more risks to take ; but its glory in the
end will outshine that of any of our armies.. And
• it may yet prove the truth of the assertion, that it
was an "honor to belong to the Army of the Poto-
CONGRESS.

' THERE is a duty of thirty per sent. on imported
paper, and as the price is daily rising in this coup
. try, the newspaper and book publishers in New
York are asking Congress to reduce this duty, and
allow foreign paper to come in - under a rate of two
or three per cent. The Government, they urge, will
• - receive a large revenue by the reduction, as no
.lereign paper of any account is imported under this
-: high rate of duty, and the publishers of the country
Would be relieved of the enormous pressure to which
they'are now subjected by the high price of domestic
paper, owing, as these persons charge, to a com
bination among the paper manufacturers and
dealers to keep up the prices. As the publishers

Of she Government, the remission of the "duty at
this juncture seems but a reasonable demand.

The .Sappressed Opinions of Mr.' William
B. Reed.
Mr. WILLTAM B. REED has always .ex
hibited a strange fancy for the business of
suppressing pamphlets. We., must say that
his exploits. in thiti particular may show a
nice regard for the decencies of society, and
a delicious charity for the faults of others.
His last effort of this description has only
ended in obtaining for him a larger notoriety,
This pamphlet of Mr. READ has had a strange
• history. ,It was-written for the eclificationof
a small circle of aympithizingfriends in the

trite to be printed. It was too frank an , ex-
posure of their ideas td go before the people.
Treason might be pinctised at the proper
time,. and with sufficient caution, ?-but• it
would not do to circulate in book
among the , masses of party, and so Mr.
REED'S pamphlet was supprkzeed. Busy
messengers were sent everywhiiire, and each
copy was carefully burned. But, unfortu
nately for their hopes and wishes, one or
two of the pamphlets escaped into the hands
Ofauelt eager newspaper men as our corres-

Court Martial of General Porter.
The court martial of General Porteiwas . rosumed
to-day.
General McDowell was recalled, and -asked a few
questions, but no new facts were elicited.
Theo. E. Mooreland Aind J. L. Cherry, telegraph
operators, were examined with regard to the tries
lieges referred to in the testimony of peneral Pope
as being transmitted by General Porter to General
Btunside, severely criticising the military operations
of General Pope.
The counsel for the defence, while not objecting
io the line of testimony, contended that these de
spatches, and others they proposed to introduce, in
dicate, on the contrary, but a determination, on the
part of the accused, to do his duty, and were trans
mitted only for the purpose of giving necessary in
formation.
Objection was raised, to • the counsel being al
lowed longer to continue' addressing the court'di
rectly, as much delay was caused thereby, and the
court was -cleared to consider the objections. The
original course of having; the accused make such
arguments and objections -as he might desire to, in

Gen. Naglee's Expedition.
Information has been received here to the effect'
that Geil. NAGLE; At present in command of our
troops on the Peninsula, has crossed the York river
from Yorktown with a division, and is marching up
the Peninsula formed by the Pianketank, York, and
Mattapony rivers...lt was ascertained that a con
siderable force of rebel cavalry were posted at Glou
cester county. Court House, and Gen. N.....arxe first
marched to that place, but found, upon his arrival,
that the rebels had fled upon his approach. He is
at present moving west, but how far he will proceed
is not known. He will probably make a reconnois
sance at least of the rear of the present position of
LEE'S army near Fredericksburg, but his force is
hardly sufficient to make any extensive demonstra
tion. He will no doubt return soon with valuable
inhumation for our Government. '
The Recent Attack on our Rappahannock
Flotilla.
On Thursday afternoon, December 4th, the
Jacob Bell, Freeborn, Anaeoatia, Resolute Curd

about 4 o'clock in the afternoonythe rebels opened
on them from batteries behind the town, and the
boats being unable to get a good range from where
they were, dropped down in front of the town and
returned the fire, some of the shot completelyrid-
Wing some of the houses. [The rebels say eleven
werewere destroyed.] The firing was very rapid, and
destroyed.]
about two hours; when the enemy ceased fir
ing, and thetunboatadropped down the river about
one and a half miles. Some of the rebel shot
struck very near our .boats, but no damage was
done. • -
On Wednesday eveningilast, as the Currituck was
going by Brandywine farm, on the Rappahannock
river, near Port Royal-above which the following
boats were lying : Freeborn; Yankee, Satellite,
Coeur de Lion, Jacob Bell, Tenzer, and Wyandank
—the rebels opened a fire on her from a large batte•
ry on a hill, said to 'number over, thirty guns -32-
pounders and 20-pound parrots—which was re
turned, and the Currituck• proceeded up the river
and rejoined the fleet, but hardly had she some to
hefore a terrific lire was opened on the fleet from the
:same battery. . .
The little Tenzer immediately ran in to haul out
the schooners Sarah Minge and Kadosh, which Were
lying within range of the guns; but beforethey were
reached a shot • struck
.the Minge, ...and wounded
CaPtain SIMMONS of the Kadosh, who has since
died. Capt. SHERIDAN, however, brought_ out the
schooners in gallant style, and the fight commenced

The Arrests in Delawstre.
'' - When the resolution relative to the arrest of cer
-lain citizens of Delaware was taken up, Mr. DAVIS
(U.); of Kentucky, proceeded to Speak at :length in
favor 'orthe resolution, arguing that the President
has no authority, under the Constitution, : to'make
any such 'arrests. The President has no right 'to
suspend the law or define its execution.. After'fur
ther argument, Mr. DAVIS admitted thatthe Presi
dent WAS excusable for arresting Gov. Moorehead,
of Kentucky. It was even commendable, and it
- would 'have been.excusable to have:arrested the
Madera' of the Hartford Convention, or for Bu-
Chanan to:have arrested Cheever, and
those', miserable miscreants. i He Alenied that
slavery was the cause of the war"; but it was be
cause New England and other! States had abolished
slavery and commenced - the hruside against. States
which held on to the original state of the country.
He thought the people wottld arise and reconstruct
this Union, and leave Massachusetts out in the cold
and frOzen regiong: If the war had 'been - c7trried on
according to the principles of the. Crittenden Com
proMise it would have been finished long ago.

Remarkable Resolutions. '
Mr. CONWAY (Rep.), of Kansas, offered the fol
lowing :
Beeolved, That freedom and slavery cannot coexist
in the same Government without producing strife
and civil war ; " that a house divided against itself
cannot stand," and that this nation must be all free
or all slave.
Resolved, That the American Union consists. of
those States which are now loyal to the Federal
Constitution.
Resolved, That the restoration of the Union as it
existed prior to the rebellion would be a greater ca
lamity than that rebellion itself, AS it would give
new life to.the " irrepressible corrfliet," and edThil
upon the nation anothercycle of bitter contention
and civil war. • •
Resolved, That the seceded States can only be put
down, if at all, by being regarded as out of consti
tutional relations with the Union, and by being as
sailed upon principles of ordinary warfare, as be
tween separate nations.
Resolved, That if any person in the employment of
the United States, in either the legislative or ex
ecutive branches, should propose to make peace, or
should accept or advise the acceptance of any such
proposition on any basis which would restore the
slave power to its former supremacy in the Govern
ment, or by any new compromise or amendment to
the Constitution, recognize slavery as an element of
political power, such person will be guilty of a high
crime.
Resolved, That the supetior resources and military
prowess of the North in this struggle are beyond dis
pute, and that the question of its success turns not
upon its relative ability, but on the fitness of its
Chief Executive Magistrate to give effect to its
power.
"Resolved, That it is unsafe to entrust the execution
of any systein of administration to persons who are
not in cordial ; sympathy therewith, and that no
change of polies* in the conduct of ther war is more
than nominal, which is not • accompanied by a coin
plete change in personnel of the Executive Depart
ment
Rezoned, That it is a matter for serious. reflection
whether another election for President must not
supervene before the rightful authority of the nation
can be established; and whether, in the meantime; it
is not a flagrant waste of our energies to continue
the war.
Resolved, That, unless the Army of the West shall
have swept through the valley of the Mississippi to
its mouth, and the Army of the Potomac annihi
lated.the legions of Lee and Jackson, thus subvert
ing the military power of the rebellion within a
reasonable time, the best interests of country and
humanity will require a cessation of hostilities.
Resolved, That the States of the North composing
the American nation, and wielding its power, must
ever remain one and indivisible on the basis of
freedom for all without distinction of race, color, or
condition ; that their mission must ever be to ex
tend their own civilization over the entire continent,
. and that whatever derangements, difficulties, checks,
or defeats they may encounter, they must forever
cherish and pursue the inspiring idea of nationality
and continental dominion. .
On motion of Mr. MAYNARD (U.), of Tennessee,
the resolutions were tabled--yeas 135, nay 1; Mr. Con
way being the only ;one who voted in the negative.

lawful combination of its own citizens, in open re
bellion against its constitutional authority, no
pprson or persons owing allegiance to it have a
right, by reason of the fact, or his or their belief

meana, to withhold his or their support to the
efforts of the Government in the prosecution
of the war t. or to resist the enforcement of the laws
for raising, maintaining, and regulating the army
and nary, or the lain imposing taxes and burdens

any person or persons in the United States, thus
owing allegiance, shall, for the reasons or pretended
reasons aforesaid, resist the enforcement of such
law, or persuade, inveigle, or incite. other persons,
so as to resist them, they ought to be held guilty or
