This, leweier, and other 'rrinior incidents are not essential to . the irigin questions, which-are :- Is there in exisience a veritableji Wesley Gilt - elm, and did he carry peace propositions from the rebel leader to the PreSident of -the - Unitefti States 'T - The first - qiielitiori - i s h. answered without reservatiori; the second le partifilly admitted brit its Main points are defiled. Por4 e past ten months, our reederS will remerklier, that our telegraphic columns have co stained frequent announcements from Washington, "upon, the highest au . :.. ihoritgir that no peace propositions had been it eived from the rebel government. Fernarido Wood, of New York, in a pub „al lie speech, declared that he had received letteraiqom leading men, in the South, ang gestingleertain terms of honcroble peace, and this he had g 4 sent these , propositions to thei l lAdministration, at Washington.” i We noWihave , the statement of Greene, to vihich tile has sworn, that he, in person, waiteciliipon the President and his Cabiriet with propositions—not merely from im portantouthern men, but from the rebel Presideilt himself. His visit to Washing ton oCeurred early in November, and in stead o,f3,it being announced by the news mongerli about the Capital, everything like it ils positively and persistently de nied: ,lifiNo overtures have been'made," the. Adnlinistration organs persisted , in stating ;Alit the publication of Greene's revelati4 has compelled them.to do more than sjesply- deny. They 'Washington Chronic-li, the Administration organ, no icing GOene's affidavit, now says that "on ingdiry it is ascertained that a man calling likinself Greene, and professing to reside ini;Pittriburgh, Pa., called.upon the Presidentlef the United States, some time in Noveniber, and stated to him . . that he (GreeneOiad two interviews with Jeff Davis, at Richmond, Ate." The President (lid not believe Greene's story, and, the editor adds, that the whole thing is "moonshine." It says the same thing in relation tri the propositions lately said to have been preserited to the powers at Washingtrin by Mr. Barney, of Baltimore. It wilillitrike the reader here as being peculiar4at the Adininistration organs have - heeiP so mute - upon the presentation of these peace proposals,' not noticing them, inl filet, until compelled, and then simply corifining themselves to bits of ridicule of those who presented' them. We do not Pretend to assert that Barney's and Greene's statements are entirely . cox: rect, but' tie tidorinistration itself has ac knowledged receiving certhiwietelligence from theni,(whieb`a now erideavors to die parage, nriti by publishing Ate r faets, lint by ridicule .ofi those who represented them selves aertipresentatives of the rebel chief.

As ti is, we are inclined to the con. viction thrit,there is more in them than the Abolitiongans are disposed to admit.i• The peop e of the country are tired of c war; the - g olition politicians and con; tractors arelnot. These latter have suc ceeded in !Capturing the President 'and i; dictating lit? policy; that policy now, as proclaimedfin his late message, is war for the destruction of slavery, and not for the restoration plf the Union; and consequent ly, no pea 4 propositions can for a mo meut be cepsidered conflicting with this sanguinary rogramme. "Without slavery (says the President's message) the rebe lion never Could have existed; withal' slavery it .',:Could not continne."• This together with suggestions how to get rid of slavery bOtween this and the year 1900, is the radicil programme, and no propo sitions of pence, by John Wesley Greene, or any one else, 'will be permitted to in terfere withilts accomplishment, so long as radicals :l controls the councils : of the nation, .

Why was he permitted to go free, and his deirelopements allowed to sink in that brawl' and deep chasm—the Presidential mind? May we not inquire what other propo• aitions from Jeff.

Why was Mr. Greene suffered , to depart without either the honors of a diplomatist 'or the punishment of an imposter ? These questions must be answered sooner or later. THE. STEAMPOAT INSPEC TON. Lew. The.gipat di • inutioif of the loss of life by exPlosiOns of ,steamboat boilers since the enactment'of the lay of 1852, attests the benefit arising from that law, though much depends upon the judgment and efficiency of the officers appointed to carry it into effect. We are glad to say that the officers tor this district have always been prompt and faithful in the discharge of their duties, and fully competent to their proper performance. In our issue of Tuesday, we Published a review +of the evidence and the decision in the case of the pilots, Smith and Boss, whose licenses had been revoked by the Local Board at Cincinnati, and. who were reinstated by the Supervising Inspector of the Seventh District, Mr. E. M. Shield, who gave his reasons clearly and concisely. In the case published elsewhere, on an application for - engineer's license, he sustains the decision of the Local Board, and also of Mr. Craw ford, the then Supervising Inspector, to whom an appeal was taken. The case presented. : skowed that there was a deter mination of alL(Messrs. Grace, Snowden Crawford and l'Shield) to carry: out the law, and permit no one to act who been guilty of .violating its provisions. DEATH OF CHRISTIAN IHRESEN This prominent business man and mos exemplary citizen, after a protracted ill ness of several weeks, died at his residence in East Birmingham, on Thursday even- The deceased was a native of Frederick, Maryland, although he came to this neighborhood when a youth, where his :father commenced the manufacture of glass, to which important branch of man• nfa'ctures his son succeeded. In this business, the subject of our relit:irks con- tinned to the time of his decease, being a period of about thirtytwo years. His was one of the oldest, most extensive and variegated glass niannfacturing establish ments in our county, and in his death'the community loses one of its most sagacious and comprehensive manufacturers. But, better than the possession of busi ness qualifications, Mr. Ilimsen was pe culiarly adorned with qualities of a nobler, and finer and geritler character . .., _Retiring ;and unobtrusive,he presented a marke4 oontrast to the generality of his cotem poraries, and was,a model, worthy of im itation, in all the delicate and varied re lations belonging'4o the station of hus band, father and friend.

Provisions and all kinds of supplies, except clothing, are arriving in large quantities. The men are in fine trim, and now thoroughly organilsd—the different divisions and,corps commanded by able and efficient officers. No - portion of the Federal ,army, not even the Grand Army of the' Potomac, can boast --of its fine appointments over the Army of the Cumberland. • " 1 Tke exit of - Gen. Buell is among the . • :tbings _that were , and ° the debut of Gen. 'Rosecrans, a thing of the past. The morn aident:antiseneitive friends of the foriner have became reconciled, and the applause of the admirers of the lattei have gradually tittbsided, and all mingle in harmony, all looking forward to the one great and com mon cause, the speedy suppression of this unholy rebellion, and the restoration of the -once great and glorious Union, hoping we may all soon see our ends. accomplish ed. and return to our homes and families,: the Union restored and perpetuation guar- anteed to our children as it was handed .down to us by our forefathers. As to the merits of the commander and I ex-commandetof this department, I can 1 add nothing, and to diminish, I have) neither the inclination nor the right. I Gen. Buell undoubtedly possessed some of the most brilliant requisites for a corn mandig officer of any.general in the army. None labored more incessantly than he, day and night, in the camp or in the field. The military investigation now in progress will undoubtedly purge him of many, it not all the charges brought against, him.-- Of his loyalty I have no doubt; of his military capacity I do not hesitate. Gen. Rosecran.e, after much experience in Western YirgblisiandiMississippi conies, to us flashed with the .victories of Inks, and Corinth, wearing the laurels so gal lantly won with becoming grace and dig. nity. He is laborious in his duties, and r has introduced much wholesome disci ' pline. His army has every confidence in his ability to carry the campaign through with vigilance and success. Gen. Negley, the only Pittsburgher of any note in this army, has merited a great deal nf praise for his strategy and determined stand for the defence of the Rock city .' . He is still post:commander here,but it rumored he will, take the field at an early day. His 'troops are now receiving their quota of "greenbacks "-which they have , long stood in - great need of.

It is reported they are massing their forces around_ltur-, treesboro for a sttnidovhictvEdo not,. be lieve. But nothing would gang) the Gen eral and the army better than such an ar rangement. But I think tkey are merely holding the situation' :until . they forviard their supplies, and at the dame time a por tion of their army may sent -to rein force Gen, Johnston and confiont Grant. It is a conceded opinion here that the great battle of this army will be, fought at Chattanooga;'. The The sanitary condition of the army is "very good at preient, bat there is a great want of vegetables ami flour, as "hard tack and bacon" may soon tell on the blood of our brave soldiers. If Provi dence would favor us with sufficient rain to- raise the river to a navigable stage, large quantities of vegetables would find a ready market and morbid appetites, as but limited quantities are to be found and •hat at fabulous prices, rangbig as fol io ws.viz: Potatoes-%1 perpeck; applesfully as large as a hulled walnut, 10c. each, and not to be purchased in, large quantities ; coffee one dollar and sugar seventy-five cents per pound, butter seventy-five cents; chickens, (very small,), fi ft y cents each, Robison county, young and tender, two dollars per bottle, and other things in pro• portion.. The President's Message has been re ceived and read with considerable interest, but without much comment. Mail facili ties are constant and regular, notwith standing the redoubtable Jdhn Morgaiii and his banditti are lying in wait to pounce upon the L. dr N.

Should this be found worthy of a place in the columns of your valuable paper, in some future time I may furnish you with "another of the same." Another Case of Arbitrary Arrest. NEW YORE, December 9. To the Editors of the World : Although repeatedly and strongly urged by marry friends to bring my case before the public in the city where I was born and claim a birthright, I have forborne so doing until .the time should arrive when, by the action of the Government itself, I should be discharged from the illegal ar rest to which I have been subjected. After having served faithfully for a year in the' federal army, worn down by con stant exposure in the last winter's Ken tucky campaign, feeble health forced the resignation of my commission in June last, and I was permitted honorably to re tire from the service. But a few days subsequently I was arrested in Louisville, Kentucky, and, without knowing or being allowed to meet any charges iohtdever, was carried into another State and thrust into the Jeffersonville (Indiana) Penitentiary, and was there confined with convict• ed felons, the only political prisoner with in the dungeon walls. Through the intercession of George D. Prentice, Esq., of the Louisville Journal, I was compelled to accede, under pro test, that I should give bonds, conditioned for good behavior, in the sum of SIO,QOO, and to go to the State of New York, there to remain during the rebellion, before I could effect my release from the Bastile. As I had never done or said anything that could be fairly construed by even the most radical to be disloyal, it was rather morti fying to be banished without a hearing, after having thus been rigorously impris oned. Mr. Prentice voluntarily became my bondsman, and, in connection with Col. A. M. Gazlay, of Louisville, furnished me with strong letters to the War Del:1E1:d -ment, protesting my innocence and de manding that I should be at once libera ted. After my arrival in this city, I com municated-with Mr. Seward, who referred my application for relief to "the tomb of the - Capulets" known as the War Depart ment: No notice being taken of my matter t i addressed a letter last week to the Hon. Henry M. Rice; United States Senator from my own State (Minnesota), in which I detailed succinctly the particu lars of my case. With, a promptitude which should be emulated by other in an thortfty he addressed me the following letter : SENATE CHAMBER, Dec. 3, 1862 DEAR SIR : Yours of 2d inst., is just re ceived. I will at once (to-day) call the attention of the President to your case, in. hopes to g et a speedy reply. As a last re sort, I will call the attention of. the Sen ate to the same, but I trust and hope the Executive will be able to render the re• quired relief. • Very respectuflly yours, HENRY M. HIEN. Major J. J. Noah, No. 100 Second Aven ue, New York City : On Satarday last, the 6thinst., I receiv ed the. following communication from the War Department, which is evidently writ ten to convey the impression that my case had been reached in its due course, and acted upon, in view of its merits, without the iaterference of Mr. Rice or anybody else to hurry it on. It is the first com munication that the department has hon ored me with, no response ever having been before made to any of my written demands: WAR • DEPARTMLTT, Washington City, December 4,1872. To J. J. Noes, Esq : You and your surety, George D.

And you are also at liberty to leave the city' of New York and "go and come" at pleasure. 'By order of the Secretary of War. L. C. TURNER, Judge Advocate. So that after having been imprisoned, banished, and held in duress for five months, with all the. attendant miser- les and expenses of being alienated from my home in the West, away from the field of my pursuits, I have been at last reliev ed,' and turned loose to beg, borrow, or steal my way back home again. Had I been allowed a hearing of ten minutes, I could have abundantly proved that the cir cumstances of my arrest must have been prompted by conspiracy, and that I had tat the very hour of my arrest, tendered my services in any capacity where. my mil itary experience would be of use, to repel John Morgan, who was hourly expected to make a raid upon Louisville. • 1 am very respectfully, your obedient servant. rtir AN Irish lawyer lately addressed the Court as" gentleman" instead of" your honors."

Effect of the Batteries XXXVIMICOONGRESS, (2d Session.? &e., &0., &e., &o NEW You; December 12.-The Her ald publishes the following details of the movement of the army of the Potomac yesterday:' HEADQUARTERS, ON THE FIELD, OPPO SITE FREDERICKSBURG, Dec. 11.-3 p. —Between four and five o'clock this J morning the pontoon train, in charge of the 17th and 50th kew York engineers, and under command of Gen. Woodbury, proceeded to the river' bank, where, with infantry supports, an attempt was made to throw three bridgeS across the river— ] one at the point where the railroad bridge formerly crossed, and two more opposite the city but nearer Falmouth. A dull haze obscured the movement that for a time it wasnot discovered by the rebel pickets. The pontooniera succeeded in partially constructing the bridges, when the rebels suddenly opened a. very brisk and deadly fire of musketry from along the banks of the river and the windows of the houses, compellinge cessation of the work. Sonia of our men' were shot midway in the stream, and falling overboard from the boats, floated down the river. Returning to the cover of the surrounding hills the men were again formed, and about six o'clock the attempt to bridge tne river I: renewed, but the rebels had now been roughly aroused to a sense of what was going forward, and with reinforce ments of sharpshooters, swarmed the op posite banks and, houses. Nothing daunted by the hot fire which they poured but at the reappearance of our troops, the pontuoniere went gallantly to work, but in vain—a storm of bullets en veloped them. The air was alive with the leaden messengers of death. The planks and boats were riddled by every volley. Once more they were compelled to with draw, and they fell back to the cover of the ridge of hills runding parallel with the river. As it was evident-that the rebels were deterinined to use the houses of the city for a defence, contrary to an implied agreement in the correspondence whiCh recently passed by flag of trace, orders were given to our artillerymen to often fire upon the city. Accordingly, Benja min's, Edwards', Mahlenberg's and other batteries of the Ninth Corps, together with the batteries of the corps to the right and left of the city, commenced an almost simultaneous bombardment. The fog was so dense that it wag impossible to see but a short distance beyond the edge of.the river. The houses, however, in which the rebel sharpshooters had ensconced them selves were plainly visible, and to them the fire was for a time particularly direct-. ed. The effect was their partial demoli tion. In a short time after the first fire they became untenable by the rebel rifle men, who tetreated to the rear of the town, where they took shelter behind the as yet unharmed buildings. By seven o'clock the bombardment bad become general. and from that time until one o'clock the roar of artillery was incise sant, while the shot and shell fell fast and thick into the doomed city. From the vi cinity of the Lacy House, a brick build ing overlooking the centre of the city, the batteries of the Ninth Corps raked, the streets with Abell, sclimpnel and grape.— Though the fog still continued to obscure in a measure the results of these Icharges; yet the walls could be heard crumbling, and the timbers crashing. The rebels, with the greatest stubbornness, still kept within the city, and at times parties of them could be seen going from one point to another on the double coick. The carnage cannot but be fearful amongst them. It is somewhat singular that the rebel batteries did not return the fire of our guns. tip to the present time they ,have not opened in response. About ten o'clock the engineers were formed for a third attempt to construct the bridges. The Eighth Connecticut, under Major Ward, was lying at this time wear the river bank, supporting one of our batteries. After the previous ineffectual attempts - on the part of the engineers to crc se, a party of eighty men from the reg iment under Captain Marsh, volunteered to assist in this endeavor to finish laying the bridge, and once more the column with this reinforcement started down to the river. Under the direction of Gen. Woodbury, they seized the planks and carried out some dozen tolhe end of the String of boats, placed a p'ait of them, and were then compelled' . to retire under a very galling fire from the rebel sharpshoot ers, who were enscon seed securely male pits below the range of the artillery , and vjfithin fifteen or twenty feet of the river's' Ade- Two•of the Eighth Connecticut were wounded in thilattempt, and the engineers suffered severely. The movement having, been thus interrupted, the whole party were ordered back to their original posi tion. At eleven o'clock it was discovered that one of the houses was on fire. The flames, which comineoced hi the tivesterli part of the city, soon spread, and Fred ericksburg is now enveloped in fire : and sinoke, An enfilading fire has ben upoirthe -rebel rifle pits from our bat teries up the tiver. It, 'has been success. ful so far in driving the sharpshooters from the vicinity of the.railroad depot. The engineers are now constructing the bridges without interruption. In this work they have been earnestly supported by the 86th New York, Col. Fairchild. The rebels still maintain their ground opposite the upper bridges. j „ The cavalry are now passing General Stuner's head quarters to make a charge across the river atone of the fordo. Reports froth ,the left state that Franklin's wing has creased the river below us; where their passage= wascovered by the gutiboats. Aerie. CREEK, - Dec. 12.—Midnight.— Intelligence from the front to-night states that our forces have crossed the river and are now in possession of Fredericksburg. The invading fire from - our batteries on the right suceeeded in driving the rebels from the rifle pits on the rivers edge, thereby permitting an easy and rapid con struction 'of the pontoon bridges.
