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

and this he had g 4 sent these , propositions

We noWihave , the statement of Greene, to

It wilillitrike the reader here as being

them, inl filet, until compelled, and then
simply corifining themselves to bits of

The peop e of the country are tired of

war; the - g olition politicians and con;

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

sanguinary rogramme. "Without slavery
(says the President's message) the rebe

slavery it .',:Could not continne."• This
together with suggestions how to get rid
of slavery bOtween this and the year 1900,

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had been revoked by the Local Board at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

of the Local Board, and also of Mr. Craw

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.

This army, under. its new commander,
is fast verging.intirfitness for a-move far
ther into Dixie. Provisions and all kinds
of supplies, except clothing, are arriving
in large quantities. The men are in fine

fine appointments over the Army of the
Cumberland. • " 1

'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

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. Pren
tice, are, hereby released and discharged
fiorn all liability, upon a bond of $lO,OOO,
conditioned, among other things, that yon
proceed to the State of New York, and
there remain during.the war.
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

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.
