SIX PER CENT. LOAN, JAY COOKIC, 114 SOUTH THIRD STREET, PHILADBLPHIJL C4t 'll rtss TUESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1884. NEW YORK CITY. (Correspondence of The Press.] Nnw YOnx, Jan. 4, 1864 A PROPITIATORY OFFERING It will be remembered that one of the baits thrown Out by the Democratic politloians, during the last struggle for Gubernatorial honors was, that the then (and present) Police Commissioners of this city would be removed in case Horatio Seymour should be elected. The bait was peculiarly sapid to the elan for whom it was intended—the ouvriera of New Tort —because those gentlemen had proved them selves vigilant and loyal, and were consequently the objects of hatred and fear among that class. No better evidence of their staunch patriotism can be bad than the systematic course of vilification adopt ed by the Copperhead press regarding them ; no bet ter evidence of their vigilance in the detection of crime, than the holy horror which they have always inspired in the it friendsll of Governor Seymour. In fulfilment of the promise, the Governor, soon after his induction to the duties of his office, proceeded against the Commissioners ; was met by them with a determined assertion of their rights; hesitated, seemed doubtful of the ground upon which he stood, and there the matter rested. On Friday morning the public was startled by the announcement,. that the Governor had suddenly matured his Otos is' action, and had offered up the Commissioneric,sui a propitiatory sacrince to the manes of the' drunken wretches whose battered skulls appeals 4 to him, as their protector, for ven geance. This step was due to the " friends " whom he had acknowledged—a sop to the Cerberus of the mob which showed its teeth in July, and was patted , lovingly on the head as it lay in the Park gorged with the blood of our citizens. On Friday, there. fore, every Copperhead, every vagabond, and every man who had reason to dread a vigilant polite, was enthusiastic over the Gubernatorial decree. They did not investigate probable results, however. The Commissioners received the supersedeas, but de clined obeying it, referring the Governor to their rights under the statute, and expressing their determination to resist his action in the courts. What course the Executive winnow pursue remains to be seen. It is thought by many that he will not press the matter at present, and has only acted thus far upon the demands of his party, which feels en treme/y sore over the manner in which the CO/Until. stoners—Mr. Acton, especially—treated those coda ble "Mends" who constitute the New York wing of the Copperhead Democracy. Had he possessed that brilliant quality which seizes upon happy alterna tives, he would have appointed Judge .P.lcCunn in the place of Commissioner Bowen, whose resigns. Lion is on file in his office. This would have been rather more than the remaining twain could have endured, and a hegira would have taken place, which, as far as velocity is concerned, would have outrivalled that of Bishomet. NEW YEAR'S DAY.' For the benefit of those who are not thoroughly conversant with the high moral principles upon which this Demooratic city conducts its holidays, and drowses oft' the effects of its slight dissipation on those which follow ' a few incidents may be stated, which are of an explanatory character. On New Year's day, a few " friends" congregated in the Fourth ward for the pursuit of a poor China man under difficulties,-and in the course of the.ad venture shot two policemen. ,k party of three called upon a citizen living in Ninth street, and after insulting the lady of the house, shot the hus band fatally in the breast. On the same evening a gentleman was found dying in Broadway, from the effecti of violence at the hands of parties un known, and a German was slain in Chatham Square. On Saturday, a- woman Was- stabbed to death in Brooklyn, a man was shot down in Broad way by a notorious female, two men were shot, (one fatally;) one stabbed, and one beaten to a jelly in a "dance house? and a colored man was killed in Laurens street. Such have been some of the terrible results of the saturnalia held by the "masses" in our streets. In a city whore popula tion is of surge conglomerate character,New Year's is rather a day of unbridled license and debauchery than a-sesson of friendly congratulation. Here ex cesses are upon an exaggerated scale, and their mul tiplicity gives them the character, not of incident., but of actions. Look whatever way you will, and you will see a reeling population ; and, at night, if you glance down the side streets which lead to the purlieus, you can speculate almost with certainty that the knife has done or is doing its work there, and making subjects for the hospital and the dead house. Customs which are harmless in smaller communities are often dangerous in eitas where at least &Allied of the population belongs tothe class of moral vagabonds. Socially, New Year's was well kept, despite the dis couraging state of the weather, which, commencing with a cold, cheerless rain, settled down into a gale which filled the air with hate of an ecioellent quali ty, hurled signs from their fastenings, tilted over one o: two crazy dwellings, and inflicted an inconsi derable damage upon the shipping. Aithough it has been frequently prophesied that "calling" was grow. ing unfashionable among us, the past holiday render ed no evidence in favor of such a belief. The &b -ier= of many of our citizens in the army naturally created a diminution in the aggregate number of calls made ; but exclusive of this circumstance, mat. terseeemed to progress in the usual. way, as far as respectable circles were concerned. • As usual, the theatres were crowded to excess throughout the afternoon and evening ; and all sorts of. outside shows and entertainments were well pa tronized by the community at large. Far into mid night the streets were thronged by pleasureseeking throngs, and reeling bullies bent en carouse and ad venture; and, despite the wind• and the intolerable cold, it is more than probable that not until dawn were the beggar and the housoless men and women left to their dreary ownership of the door-ways and the coal-boxes. TFIE KIDNAPPING , MATTER, ETC. United States Marshal Murray has succeeded in overhauling a set of scoundrels who were employed in printing Confederate bonds and money, and in seizing some six millions of the former, and one mil lion of the latter, together. with all the presses, diem, etc., which were found in their establishment. The parties aresow incarcerated in Fort Lafayette; to.. gather with several who were implicated in the came matter. This historicallort will soon be filled to re pletion, unless some other place of incarceration 15 coon designated, or Marshal Murray is removed by some Federal Governor Seymour. - The names of those who were arrested have not, as yet, been given to the public., The Loyal League Club, which has been perti naciously sneered at by the Copperheads, has sue. ceeded in raising:a full regiment of colored troops in the abort space of twenty days. Its ranks num ber 1,010 men. - The matter of the kidnapping of negroes and their compulsory enlistment, is exciting much comment in the community. As far as is known, the outrages are committed on behalf of General Spinela's " recruiting " office only. It appears by state ment that some one hundred and forty.eight men have been mustered in at Sol:Iola% headquarters, Who have been partially defrauded ont of their bounties, come receiving only $5O out of the $3OO to Which they are entitled, and this in defiance of an order forbidding the mustering of ;multi; who have not received the entire sum. The following facts, extracted from an affidavit which has just been given to the public, will convey some idea of the modus operandi of this abominable syetem. The deponent states that while walking in Broadway, near the headquarters of Gen. Spinola, he observed a colored man walking between two men in uni form, who were talking to him. The negro showed some evidences of fright in his actions, and the deponent, following them, passed into Le.• layette Hall, where,the negro was thrust into "the crib." Deponent; who is himself colored, had some brief altercation with one of the men in uniform, and was ultimately seized by them, with the re mark "You d—d nigger, you've got to stay here now." At the same time he was told that he must enlist, and the guard at the door was orderedto run him through with his bayonet should he attempt to eicape. Fortunately, the deponent , was already connected with a colored regiment, and, on repre senting this fact to the kidnappers, they al lowed him his liberty. He states, in his depo sition, that he saw five or six negroes " in the crib or pen," all of whom complained to him that they had been kidnapped. One had his face swollen from a blow received while resisting hie captors. All this occurred at mid• day, in a building nearly opposite the Metropolitan - Hotel, and in the -very central portion of Broadway. How much better this " crib " is than the slave pens of the South, let thinking men decide. And if a thrust of the bayonet is better than a blow from the slave. driver's lash, it is only because it has less of the elements of torture and degradation in its results. Not the slightest doubt of the reality of the devil ish crime can exist, and Heaven only knows how many more of these slave•pens may exist in other portions of the city, in connection with the brigade of this same political general. When General Spinola shall march out his regiment, and claim the enthusiasm and respect of the people as the reward of his recruiting services, it will be well for the country to ask how many of the men, in his blue.cosited ranks, are the victims of a'crueity and an abominable traffic, whone details are scarcely less revolting than those of the genuine slave trade, and how many of them are bugled into a desperate si lence regarding their wrongs, by threats of court martials, or the hideous and unnatural punish meets of camps. General Spinola will, of course, disclaim all knowledge of these outrages; but a quibble of the tongue is no vindication. _What the public knows, and has known for weeks, General Spinola knows ; and so long as be retains uniformed men.stealers in his service, so long is he 'chargeable with their misdeeds. The whole country has an in tezeat in the cause of the colored soldiers, and it is to the whole country, and not alone to New York city, that he must answer for the outrages committed in his name ; and it will be well to bear the fact in mind when the brigade of slaves troop onward to the seat of war to the clank of those invisible chains which they only can hear and feel. The theatrical record of the past week has been "fiat, stale," but not "unprofitable." The -same state glitter in the firmament of Broadway theatres, . and the same dramsi are repeated in hapless conti nuity. A few feeble concert. and a shred of opera have gone off like the reports of desultory firing, and been riven us in lieu of something more Vigor- Gus and effective. Political affairs are dull and *WV. V 14.10(.14. Mgt BATTU O effICLUIIMALL Report of Majcsr C'.etteral Reseerano. Owing to the erowded state of our column*, it In Only pomible to present a meagre extract of this able and animated report. The passer* moat valuable to public inquiry are the following: BATTLE Or THE 2Otb SEPTEMBER The battle of the 19th, says the General, had enured us these objects, Our flanks covered the Dry Valley and Roseville roads, while our cavalry covered the Missionary Ridge and the valley of Chattanooga creek, into which latter place our spare trains had been sent on Friday, the 16th. • Satisfied that the enemy's that attempt would be' on our left, orders were despatched to Gen. Negtey to join Gen. Thomas, and to Gen. Die Gook to re. Iftwe Nogley. Returning-to the right, I found Neg. ley bad not moved, nor were McOook's troops coming in to relieve him. Negtey was preparing to withdraw his two brigades from the line. He was ordered to send his reserve brigade immediately, and follow it with the Whale, only when relieved on the line of battle. Gen. Crittenden, whose troops were nearest, was ordered to fill Gen. Negley's place at once, and Gen. McCook was notified of this order growing out of the necessity of promptly sending Negtey to Thomas. Proceeding to the extreme right, I felt the disad vantages of its position, mentioned them to Gen. McCook and,when I left him, enjoined on hill' that it was an indispensable necessity that we should keep closed to the lett and that we must do so at all hazards. , On my return to the position of General Negley, I found, to my astonishment, that General Critten den had not relieved him, Wood's division having reached the position of Negley's reserve. Peremp• tory orders were given to repair this, and Wood a troops moved into position, but this delay subse quently proved of serious consequence. The battle began on the extreme left at By, A. M., and it was 9% o'clock when Negley was relieved. An aid arriving from General Thomas requesting that Negley's remaining brigades be sent forward as rsedily . as possible to succor the left, General Crittenden was ordered to move Van Cleve with all possible despatch to a position in the rear of Wood, who closed in on Brannan'. right.A - lepers' McCook was ordered to move up to close in on Wood, and fill an opening in the line. On my return from an examination of the ground in the rear of onr left centre, I found, to my sur prise, that General Van Oleve was posted in line of battle on a high ridge, much too far to the rear to give immediate support to the main line of battle, and General Davis in line of battle in rear of the ridge occupied by General Negley's reserve in the morning. General Crittenden was ordered to move Van Cleve at once down the hill to a better pod tion, and General Davis was also ordered to close up the support of the line near Wood's right. The battle, in the meanwhile, roared with in creasing fury, and approached from the left to the centre. Two aids arrived successively within a few minutes from General Thomas, asking for reinforce ments. The first was directed to say that General Negley bad already gone, and should be nearly at hand at that time, and that BrannanNs reserve bri gade was available. The other was directed to say that General Van Cleve would at once be sent to his assistance, which was accordingly done. A message from General Thomas soon followed that he was heavily pressed, Captain Kellogg, A. D. C., the bearer, informing me at the same time that General Brannan was out of line, and General Rey nolds, right was exposed. Orders were despatched to General Wood to close upon Reynolds, and word was sent to General Thomas that he should be sup. ported, even if it took away the whole corps of Crit tenden and. McCook. . . General Wood, overlooking the direction to ".lose ,up " on General Reynolds, supposed he was to sup port him, by withdrawing from the line and passing to the rear of General Brannan, who, it appears, was not out of line, but was in echelon, and slightly in rear of Reynolds' right. By this unfortunate mistake a gap was opened in the line of battle, of which the enemy took 'natant advantage, and striking Davis in flank and rear, as well as in front, threw hie whole division into confusion. The same attack skulttered the right brigade of Wood before it had cleared the space. The right of Brannan was thrown baek, and two aids batteries, then in movement to a new position, were taken in flank and thrown back through two brigades of Van Cleve, then on the march to the left, throwing his division into confusion, from which it never reco vered mat": it reached Roseville. While the enemy poured in through this breach, a long line, stretching beyond Sheridan's right, was advancing. .Lerbold 7 s Brigade shared in the rout of Davie. Sheritian's other two brigades in movement toward the left, under orders to support Thomas, made a gallant oharge againstthe enemy'. advancing column, but were thrown into disorder by the ene my'. line advancing on their flank, and were like wise compelled to fall' back, rallying on the Dry Valley road, and repulsing the enemy, but they were again compelled to yield to superior number., and retired westward of the Dry Valley, and by a circuitous route reached Roseville, from which they advanced by the Lafayette road to support our left. At theenoment of the repulse of Davis' division, was standing in rear of his right, waiting the com pletion of the cloning of McCook's corps to the soft. Seeing • confusion- among Van Cleve a troops, and the distance Davis , men were falling bask, and the tide of battle surging toward us, the urgency for Sheridan , . troops to intervene ttains imminent, and I hastened, in person, to the extreme right to direct Sheridan'. movement on the flank of timed vancing rebels. It was too late. The crowd of re. turning troops rolled back, and the enemy advanced. Giving the troops directions to rally behind the ridge west of the Dry Valley road, I passed down it, as companied by General Gar fi eld, 'Major McMichael, and Major Bond, of my sta ff , and a few of the escort, under a shower of grape, canister, and musketry for two or three hundred yards. and attempted to rejoin General Thomas and the troops sent to his support, by passing to the rear of the broken portion of our line, but found the routed troops far toward the left, and hearing the enemy's advancing musketry and cheers, I became doubtful whether the left had held its ground,-and started for Roseville. On consulta tion and further reflection, however, I determined to send General Garfield there, while I went to Chattanooga, to give orders for the security of the pontoon bridge* at Battle Creek and Bridgeport, and to make preliminary disposition either to forward ammunition and supplies,ohould we hold our ground, or to withdraw the troops into good position. General Garfield despatched me from Roseville, that the left and centre still held its ground. Gene ral Granger had gone to its support. General Sheri dan had rallied his division, and was advancing to ward the same point, and General Davis was going up the Dry Valley road to our right. General Gar field proceeded to the front, remained there until the close of the tight, and despatched me the triumphant defence our troops there made against the assaults of the enemy. THE FIGHT ON THE LEFT, after 2P. M., was that of the army. Never, in the history of this war at least, have troops fought with greater energy and determination. Bayonet charges, often heard of, but seldom seen, were re peatedly made by brigades and regiments, in several of our divisions. From r to 3y; o'clock, the unequal contest was sustained throughout our line.. Then the enemy, in overpowering numbers, flowed around our right. held by General Brannan, and occupied a low gap in the ridge of our defensive position, which com manded our rear. The moment was critical. T wenty minutes more, and our right would have been turn ed, our position taken in reverse, and. probably the army routed. Fortunately, Major General Granger, whose troops had been posted to cover our left and rear, with the instinct of a true soldier and a general, hearing the roar of battle on our left, and being be yond the reach of orders from the General G`ota mending, determined to move to its assistance. He advanced and soon encountered the enemy's skirmishers, whom he disregarded, well knowing That, at that stage of the conflict, the battle was not There. Posting Colonel Daniel McCook's brigade, to take care of anything in the vicinity and beyond the left of our line, he moved the remainder to the scene of action, reporting to General Thomas, who di rected him to our suffering right. Arrived in eight, General Granger discovered at once the peril, and the point of danger—the gap ; and, quick as thought, he directed his advance brigade upon the enemy. General Steadman, taking a regi mental color, led the column. Swift was the charge and terrible the conflict, but the enemy was broken. A thousand of our brave men, killed and wounded, paid for its possession ; but we held the gap. Two divisions of Longstreetbs corps confronted the position. Determined to take it, they succes sively came to the assault. A - battery of six guns, placed in the gorge, poured death and slaughter into them. They charged to within a few yards of the pieces, but our grape and canister, and the leaden hail of our musketry, delivered in sparing but terri ble volleys from cartridges taken, in many instances, from the boxes of their fallen companions, was too much even for Longstreet's man. About sunset they made their last charge, when our Men, being out of ammunition, rushed on them with the bayonet, and they gave way to return no more. The fury of the conflict was nearly as great on the fronts of Brannan and Wood, being less furious toward the left. But a column of the enemy hail made its way to near our left and to the right of Colonel McCook's position. Apprised of this, General Thomas directed Reynolds to more his divi sion from its position, and, pointing out the rebels, told him to go in there. To save time, the troops of Reynolds were faced by the rear rank, and moved with the bayonet at a double quick, and with a shout walked over the rebels, capturing some 500. This closed the battle of the Sikh. At nightfall the enemy had been repulsed along the whole line, and sunk into quietude, with out attempting to renew the combat. Gen. Thomas, considering the excessive labors of the troops, the scarcity of ammunition, food, and water, and having orders from the general command ing to use his discretion, determined to retire on Roseville, where they arrived in good order, took post before morning, receiving -supplies, from Ohat tanoogs' and offering the enemy battl during all the next day, and repulsing his reconnoissance. On the night of the Stet we withdrew from Roseville, took firm possession of the objective point of our campaign—Chattanooga—end prepared to hold it. SONORABLB 111BDTT/OR. Among others, General Roseerans gives praise to the following officers It is my duty to notice the service of those faith ful officers who have none but myself to mention them. To Major General Thomas, the true Soldier, the prudent and undaunted commander, the modest and incorruptible patriot, the thanks' and gratitude of the country are due for his conduct at the battle of Chickamauga. Major General Granger, by his promptitude, ar rived and carried his troops into action in time to save the day. He deserves the highest praise. Major General McCook, for the care of his com mand, prompt and willing execution of orders, to the beat of his ability, deserves this testimonial of My approbation. I bear testimony, likewise, to the high-hearted, noble Major General Crittenden. Prompt in the moving and reporting the position of his troops, always fearless in the field of battle, I return my thanks for the promptness and military ttood a arm with which be sent his division toward the noise of battle on the 19th. To Brig. Gen. James A. Garfield, Chief of Staff, I am c specially indebted for the clear and ready man. ner in which he seized the points of action and movement, and expressed in orders the ideas of the general commanding . . Col. J. 0. McKibben, A. D. 0., always efficient, gallant and untiring, and fearless in battle. Col. Wm. J. Palmer,loth Pennsylvania Cavalry, and his command, have rendered very valuable ser vices in keeping open communications and watching the movements of the enemy, which deserve my warmest thanks. Lieut. Col. W. M. Ward, wail the 10th Ohio, Pro vost and Headquarter Guard, rendered diligent and valuable services, especially on the 00th, in covering the movement of retiring trains on the Dry Valley road, and stopping the stragglers from the fight. Captain Garner and the escort deserve mention for untiring energy in carrying orders. I must not omit Col. J. P. Sanderson, of the Reell , lar Infantry, who, having lately joined us, on those two days of battle acted as aid.docamp, and car ried orders to the hottest portions of the field. REEFING A Suonwr.—An army correspondent telle an anecdote, which has never bees in print, of Stonewall Jackson. The rebel army was on Its march to Maryland. A Seeesh farmer sought an in terview with "Stonewall," and said, "General, are you going into Maryland ?" "Do you seek an In terview to ask me that question?" "No, sir," re plied the farmer ; "but if you will inform me I will tell you a secret." " A secret, eh ?" " Yes, air." "(Jan you keep a meant'?" asked Stonewall, eyeing the man sternly. " Oh, yes." " Well, sir," said the general, "you keep your secret, and PH keep mine I" and he rode off, leaving his butternut friend in a maze of bewilderment. PARIS FABII/Oliß are sensible.

AMOUNT OP TROOPS VIIRIMBSD BY-TRIES% On thls point, the Governor remarks Statethe whole amount ol troops fornicated by the at the extra session were, in regimests and so forth, as follows : Thirty•three regiments, thine= bittalloce, two squadrons; six unattached oompanies, a d cne le gion of twelve companies of cavalry. Nineteen regiment's, two batty tone one treat taohed company, end one legion of tyres' ttalions of infantry. One regiment and twelve light be • of artil lei y. Which, with 6,soomaen in the State Pardee, would make an aggregate of 63,600 men. Since that time there have been added to tivY above one brigade, and several regiments and lighir• batteries, making a grand aggregate 01'90,000 men, which, says the message , " exceeds the highest popu lar vote ever cast by many thousands." In addition to this force there have been organized a large number of minute companies, composed of men not liable to military duty. Let me state that by an extraot taken &Con the message of February, 1E053, and embodied' in this letter the Governor informs nil that 68 600 men were i \then n the menace, and that but 27,000 percens be tween the wen of sixteen and sixty then remained in the State. In the late message he says the num ber of men in the service has reached 98.000. VICKSBURG AND'POICT HUDSON Of Vicksburg, he imp!: "It is true that Vbiki. burg and Port Hudson are both in the enemy's pos. session. Their defence was nllke honorable to t h eir respective garrisons; and conferred additional lustre upon the Southern name," and thinks " the respite to the enemy have proved wholly inadequate to the great sacrifices made in capturing , those points." He is of thefurther opinion that the clonfederacy "could well afford to fortify severed such places and sus render them upon the samelerms as Vicksburg and Port Hudson." Doubtful whether Mr. Davis =LAW so. "The consequence," says Mr. Lubbock, "has. in a degree separated the Stags of the Tranorldis• stssippl Department from her sister States east of the Mississippi," and he think& they "must contend for the present alone against the numerous armies of the enemy thrown against us (them) upon this side of the river, for our (their) subjugation." And hots of the belief that without "vigorous action, it is feared unnumbered calamities - and misfortunes will be the penalty of our (their) supineness and want of patriotism." "Texans," he continues, "must rise in their might as one man, with one resolve to be free or perish with the land of their birth and adop. Son." He winds up: "Thus - animated, we shall conquer, and Texas will be the grave, not the In• hentance, of the invader." The , Governor thinks they have men enough west of the Mississippi to "drive from their territory the last Yankee soldier" that may invade it. A FEW BAD MEN-50EMS 02`.13YECIENS. A few bad men in our midst must not be permitted to interfere with or Impede our progress and success in this death.struggie for life and liberty. We must be united ; we must be as a band of brothers ; we must and will sustain the patriotic and intellectual statesmen at the head of the Government, the gal lant commanders and the chivalrous soldiers, We will sustain the families of those bravely doing battle for our country; we will forget our private interests ; we will forego the love. of money, ease, and luxury ; we will all pledge ourselves to do these things; rally around the standards of our bleeding country, and continue to strike as long as an armed Yankee stands upon Our soil. Do these things; listen to no syren song of aid from England or France, or from the dissensions of our hated foe, but continue to press on, filling up the ranks of our thinned armies, and ere long victory will perch upon our banners and an honorable and lasting peace be secured. GENERAL MAGRUDER'S AI/D• CES& TO THE PLANTERS. HEADQUARTERs DISTRICT ON TEXAS, Naw MEXICO AND A.R.I.ZOIrA, HOUSTON, Nov. 27, 1885. To.the Planters of the Coast Counties: The Commanding General announces to the citi zens of Texas that a formidable invasion is attempt ed by the coast. Early in She month Gen. Banks took possession of the LoWbr Rio Grande, and on the 18th a force occupied Aransas and Corpus Christi Passes, capturing the small garrison tjnerestationed. Despatches to the 23d from Col. Bradfute, com manding at Saluria, have been received, statirig that a large force, supported by numerous shipe, was ad vancing on that place, which by this time may have fallen. It becomes the grave duty of the Com manding General to state to the inhabitants of the counties contiguous to the coast what their duty to the country, as well as their own interest, de mands at this crisis. The utter disregard of all social rights, as well as the distinct proclamation of President Lincoln, so ruthlesily carried ont by his minions, leave no room for hope, even to the most credulous, to save their property, and espe cially their negroes, even by the base submission of men who should prefer death to dishonor. Should hopes be held out to the people of Texas that they will be exceptions to the rule so vigorously enforced in her sister States in localities where the enemy are in possession of temporary power, and Should even the property of some, deceived into an oath of alle giance by the treacherous promises of our enemy, be for a time respected, such hopes will prove de• ceitlul—such respect a snare. The playing of the ravenous eat with the harmless mouse in not more deceitful or fatal. Therefore, noble Texans, depend alone upon yourselves and your faithful rifles, and trust not the enemy and his faithless promises. This is your interest. Besides, the Commanding Ge neral has certain information that the enemy has brought with him from five thousand to ten thou sand muskets with which to arm the slaves against their masters. This it is the interest of the country, the interest of the State, the interest of humanity, and the duty of the commanding general to prevent. Therefore, ie calls upon the citizens of Texas living in the counties bordering upon the navigable pot , tions of the streams and within fifty miles of the coast, to remove their able-bodied male slaves at once, at any cost and at all ham srds, further into the interior, else he will be forced to drive them before him with his cavalry, in haste and without regard to their well being, but in the solemn performance of an imperious duty. FOUR GOVERNORS OF LOUISIANA. [From the New Orleans Era.26lh. 3 We have, it would seem, four Governors of Loui siana.• General Shepley was lawfully appointed mi litary Governor, has discharged the duties of his Office to the satisfaction of everybody except rebels, and is,in fact, the only Governor who has any power. He is, we are happy to see, still at the City Hall, daily, attending to the executive business. But it seems that we have other Governors. Messrs. Cott man and Field have presented credentials in Con• grass, signed J. L. Riddell, Governor of the State of Louisiana." In addition to this Ist& tGovernor, there is Moore, who claims the same appellation, and is probably somewhere in Western Louisiana or. Texas. Then, too, we have James Buchanan Macpherson, of Madisonville, the great Confederate philosopher and Southern blower, who was regularly elected, end sworn in by the bar. keeper of Merritt's Hotel, in Madisonville. As between Riddell and Macpherson we are decidedly of opinion that Macpherson's claim is the better, and if the only Governor we recognize here is to vacate in favor of any of his rivals, we hope he will turn the State seal over to J. B. M., of Madisonville, instead of 3. L. It, of New Orleans. MRS. GEN. BANKS' SOIREES. Mrs. General Banks gave her second soiree this season on the evening of the 22d instant, at her elegant residence on Coliseum place. About two hundred and fifty guests were present, including prominent Union citizens of New Orleans and the principal army and naval officers in this city. The jaw& of the building was brilliantly illuminated with variegated lanterns. On the Japan plum, acacia, and other beautiful trees with which the mansion of the commanding general is surrounded, Chinese lantern's. As the house was approached the coup d'ceil was beautiful. The company began to arrive at halcpast 8 P. AL, and In an hour or ao the aalotta of the General's mansion were filled to a comfortable degree with the beauty and fashion of the Crescent city. Among the distinguished visitors present were the foreign Con suls, major General F. J. Herron, Brigadier Gene ral Charles P. Stone, Brigadier General Richard Arnold, Brigadier Genera" H. W. Birge, Brigadier General G. F. Shepley, Colonels S. S. Holabird, E. G. Beckwith, D. J. Reily, H. B. Sargent, J. S. Clark, J. G. Wilson, Lieutentant Colonel W. S. Albert, Majors S. Norman, Lieber, C. Von Herman, B. R. Plumley, Captains J. S. Crosby, J. W. Mc- Clure, and others. CHRISTMAS DINNER AT THE HARRACES HOSPITAL. At the Barracks Hospital, New Orleans, the sol. diens had a great dinner, at which Gen. Banks Was present: The tables were set out for five hundred men be. longing to the hospital in a manner altogether differ ing from the idea-that is generally entertained of soldiers' rations. There were innumerable roasted turkeys, geese, chickens, ducks, oyster stew, vege tables, mince pies, plum pudding, andplenty for all ' of them, and a good pint of the best Philadelphia ale was handed round to every soldier. The table at which the General and his staff sat was not pro- vided quite as well with edibles as the tables of the soldiers, but the drinkable' made up for it. There were plenty of champagne and all other good wines, and they were heartily partaken of by all present. After the atornach bad, to a certain extent, been satisfied Dr. Baxter arose and addressed his hearers in a feeling manner, reminding them on how many battlefields General Banks had led them—every where victorious—and at the end proposed the health of General Banks, which was drank with threetimeethree voluntary deafening cheer'. Gen. Banks responded. Never have we heard ,' public man make a more feeling address—his heart was right in his words—he spoke of the justice of our Cause; he mentioned the passage from Scripture where it reads; that the fool says there is no God, and the wicked says in his heart there is a God, but we will circumvent him—but he said justice and right will always prevail ; he admonished his hearers that we could derive Igrest comfort from the success of our just cause, Seeing that evil cannot prevail. Col. Streight to the Rebel Secretary of War. Ltnn - PRISON, RICHMOND, Va., August 31, 1663. To Hon. James A. Seddon, Secretary of .War : Sur : I take the liberty of a dd ress i n g you, on be • half of myself and fellow prisoners, in relation to our situation. About six hundred of us are confined here, with en average space of twenty-eight square feet each, which includes our room for cooking, w ashing, bathing, and sleeping. Our rations consist, as near as I can judge, of one fourth pound of poor fresh beef, one half pound of bread, one-half gill of rice or beano, for each man per day. The above: am:dint has been found insufficient, both as to (Was. tits and quality, to sustain life and health in close prison confinement. Scorbutic diseases have already appeared, proving fatal in one cane (Major lilomds),, and impairing seriously, if not permanently,. the health of others. ' Our sanitary condition forest ould have bean. mooh - worse than it now is but he large purehaeas of vegetables and other provisions, amounting to-near ly one thousand dollars per day, whiali we have been allowed to make. But as nearly al/Our money was taken from us when we entered the prison, the daily expenditure of this large sum, has at length about exhausted what was left oit. We have also been notified that we will not boallowed to receive any portion of the money taksm from us here, nor even such sums as have been seulfrom biome since our imprisonment; though before writing for these me- Lep§ we were expressly assured by your officers having us in charge that we would-be allowed to receive them.

The English Press on the Piekddeltt'e Meßsage: ("Frptu the London Times. I Lincoln presented :its third Presidential Male sage to the Conerese of AAAorthern Stateiron the ntII or Deoember.

The President ad. dresses the Erre. great parties that divide the Meetly and the, ,oeOple ankOroverament of the Southern ' Coneedeesty. Ele assured the assembled Conment that the crisis vehiciethreateuedto divide the frieddir • of: the Union is pail, and lett the rebellion "is pressed within itenarrowest limits." He doe. not • hole out any hope of a speedy termination of the war, and pledgee himself to continue it; hut, se. suming-that the recent suocesees of the Union army in East Tennessee have given the Government at Wasaington a decided superiority, he connects with the meseage a proolamattion which forms the moot important part of it. Me offers an ame nesty to all theeople of the South, era. ceptinec the heads o f their Government, and the higher ranks of the army and navy, "on condition that they will swear to support the Constitution and the Union, all the acts 'of' Congress and all prods. mations made by the President during the war," till such mots and edicts may be declared void by the Supreme Court. It may be gratifying to the people of the North to be thus formally enured that the ' Government is strong andel:manful enough to offer an amnesty to its opponentai but it is evident that Dir. Lincoln anticipate, no paeifie result from the measure ; nor does the Secretary of the Treasury, who looks forward still to two years of war expen diture. The commercial circles of New York seem to share their misgivings. The message was pre sented on the 9th of December, and by 'the lith the premium on gold had risen two per cent. The effect of the whole document, amnesty , included, resembled that of the report of a lost battle. As the terms offered by the President have been open to the Southern people from the beginning of the war, and any State would have been readmit. ted to the Union on complying with the coaditions, the scheme of reconstruction has no novelty. Alt the Southerners now learn from the amnesty is a de. _ linitionof the classes who are excepted from it, and for this, too, they have probably been prepared from the first. The whole question still depends on. the fortune of war, and on such a vast territory it may always be expected, while any Southern armies can keep the field at all, that reverses in one place will be balanced by success in the other. This is • evidently JEr. Lincoln's own , View of the subject. While throwing into a legal form hie offer of peacte,• he expressly says the North must still place Its inlet in the sword. "The war power is our mein reliance, and to that power alone we can look for a • time to give confidence:to the people in content. ed regions that the insurgent power will net again overrun them. Until that confidence is re established little can be done anywhere for what is called reconstruction." The chief care of the Go vernment, he repeats, " must be the army." Force is still the arbiter of affairs, -and till that " anon& old" gives a more decided superiority to the North, all amnesties and proposals-of reconstruction are likely to be so much waste paper. The text of the oiler is destroyed by the Presidinit's own comment in the margin. The whole tone of the message is warlike. It contains an offer of peace, but on term that will not be accepted. What are the prospects of any result from the • proclamation in the very State in which the Confederate army has met its greatest reverse t They have been defeated in East Tennessee; and in the western portion of the same State we are told "an army is springing up like ma gic,irand the resistance is decided enough to en able the Southern Government to create a military department almost in the rear of the victorious Federal ahoy. To the States already occupied by the Federals the conditions of the amnesty do not apply. , (From the Daily News.] Accompanying the intelligence from Knoxville we have an account of President Lincoln's message to Congress and of a proclamation. Experience has shown that it is worse than useless to attempt to judge of State papers of this order from mere tele graphic reports, Until we receive the teat- Of Dal documents, we shall only remark that the report re• presents President Lincoln as faithful to the policy of hie emancipation proclamation ; as ready to em ploy the earliest opportunity to facilitate the return of the seceded States to the Union by measures milder than those of war, and at the same time Ops representing the firm resolution of the people to pursue the war to its original and unvarying end— the reconstruction of the Union. This is a position on which the unexampled successes of the citizen soldiers of the Republic well entitle him to take his stand. England and the Rebel Privateers. LETTER FROM PROP. P. W. mrarmear. To the Editor of the London Star: SIR : We are already engaged in two formidable ware—in New Zealand and in Japan. We are not clear of & third in China. We look on with alai= at the violent proceedings in Germany against Den mark, not knowing how we may be implicated in that quarter. Meanwhile—apparently through fear, and through nothing else—we allow Russia to vio - the treaty of 1856, and to set up a war fleet in the IllacirSea, capturing our merchant ships if they attempt to trade with the Circassian'. I say, it apparently through fear; for no one who considers our recent Asiatic wars, or the zeal with which the Ministry sprang to arms in the matter of the Trent, will easily impute it to humanity that. Lords Pal merston and Russell wink at the breach of treaty involved in the Russian blockade. With such an atmosphere of war around us, I can• not believe that this or any EDglish Ministry would covet American enmity, not to say American war. It is true. at the crisis of Northern weakness they breathed flamesand scoffed at arbitration, even after learning officially that President Lincoln had not authorized the act of Capt. Wilke", and was open to friendly representations. Yet, before the disunion, no English Ministry was ever brave in a matter for which bravery was far more urgently needed. I refer to the systematic outrages committed at Charleston, Mobile, and all the principal ports of the Southern States, against our colored seamen— outrages which, if committed in Burmah or Japan, would have been promptly replied to by, a high. handed war. Against President Lincoln's Government we com mitted,. as I believe, a she of principle when the Queen was advised to recognize as belligerents on the ocean those who were not belligerents on the ocean Oliolle whose war wax wholly a land war, not touching us ; whoni, moreover, we knew to be not insurgents in a good cause, but traitors in the worst of causes. When England declared herself neutral between a righteous Government and a power seeking to exist for the sole sake of propagating slavery, and thereby gave to the latter gratuitously an enormous advan tage and great moral encouragement, our very best friends in the North became violently indignant. But badly as they regard us to have behaved in that matter, they forget ow first offence in comparison With the second—that our neutrality had been un faithful, and is unfaithful to this day. Only yester day I read in the columns of the Star of two more American ships burnt by the "English" pirate Ala bama, Why is it not seized in the first English port which it dares,to enter? By all these events we are laying up evil and quarrel for the future. It is astonishing bow few Englishmen are aware that England is liable to repay every shilling of damage done to American commerce by these via. lentos. We ourselves fleet advanced the law and practically applied it against America. In rift, President Washington, on the representation of the English ambassador, did what he could to prevent the fitting out of privateers to aid France, and not only restored British vessels which had been cap• tured, but proclaimed that "the Government of the • United States held itself responsible to indemnify British owners for such captures." This stood upon the general moral rightsof nations, there being then no foreign enlistment act in the United States. But in 1794 immediately after the application •• the British Government, Congress passed such a law as satisfied us ; and the President, with the • conenureess of the Senate, made a treaty with Eng land, of which - one clause secured indemnity to British owners for vessels captured by ships fitted. out in the United States. And all damages were. faithfully repaid to us. With Muth an expedient, it is morally impossible for any American Government to fail to exaotrepayment for all the violences com, 'rented by the ships fitted out in England, even if some of them have since contrived to steal, into a Confederate port. A. sore point of quarrel: must remain, which, even if it does not reach the point of war will visit us with weakness, with. alarm, and with enormous expense. What is the Asiatic policy of England 7. Ali% patently war in Japan—war in New Zealand. What is her European policy? To talk for justice, but take no one practical step for justice. Why not r. Because, in addition to her Asiatic troubles, she. has an outstanding quarrel for her wrongs to Ame rican commerce. What, then, is the domestic policy of England? Not reform, not retrenchment, not N.. dicious expenditure on internal improvement; that. is impossible. As we now go on. we must have. • everincreasing armaments. Suppose. that we owe. three millions sterling to President Lincoln's citi zens for property destroyed. How much cheaper:to. ' pay that at once than to allow the bill.to double. itself, and then pay eight or ten millions a year in, European ignominy while watching against possible. American -war, until less honorable ministers pay , the debt of nature, and some fresher mind rise to.the. head of allairs—a Lord Stanley or a Mr. Gladstone—, who will pay the American bill, and tell uato.think ourselves well rid of it. At the next elections many will raise a err of "Peace avid Retrenchment"- Let none delude there selves with the idea of solid peace, or fruitful war, or useful it inglorious retrenchment, unless we speedily retrace our Steps, and overthrow the evil precedents not yet finally sanctioned-..deolaretkat the Confederates are net.ooeawbelligerents, that the ships built and fitted out in England against the North are English pirates, that they must be seized wherever they can be caught, and all their damages repaid. Add to this a criminal prosecution of their builders, and we shall regain the good will of our best friends—the freemen of America. After that we shall have strength to spare in aid of European justice. F. W. NEWMAN.
