nterview with the President, Secretary of State, and Gen. McClellan, and that the result is such as to justify the expectation that their wish will be gratified at an early day. There are difficulties of a serious character still in the way, but it is thought they can be overcome without making any concessions to the rebels. One of these difficulties is, that the rebels insist upon being addressed as the "Government of the Confederate States," and that in the necessary official papers to be exchanged. Jeff. Davis shall be styled "President." Mr. Seward, while determined that the rebels shall not be gratified in this particular, is ready to offer them informally such an exchange as will probably move them to abandon the conditions upon which they are understood to insist. The necessary steps to this end have already been taken, and should they result in the Colonel's release, there will be great joy in every honest Irish heart, not only in New York, but all over the loyal States.

ton Artillery. There were at the review, also, one hundred pieces of artillery — all light, except two 24-pound howitzers. General Beauregard commanded, and President Davis reviewed the troops. Generals Johnston, Longstreet, and Stewart were also there. On the 24th of November Gen. Beauregard gave orders to prepare for winter quarters, and on the 29th they commenced cutting logs for houses. President Davis came two or three days after and countermanded the orders, because, he said, the Union forces would soon be there, and they might have to destroy them. They have at Centreville a fort or earth work for every letter in the alphabet, and designated by the letters, also a strong fort called Beauregard, and one called Davis, besides another not yet finished, and unnamed. The forts are connected by rifle pits, and the embankments are so prepared that the field artillery can be wheeled into the embrasures, the caissons being disposed in the rear. There is a drill of the ar

n possession of that town on Friday last, and that another large body of troops were expected to reach there yesterday. Gen. Prentiss, it is said, was on the north side of the river, with 3,000 Federal troops, and had thrown a few shell into the rebel camp and destroyed one of the two ferry-boats in their hands. This informant says he heard heavy firing after leaving Lexington on Friday, indicating that an engagement was progressing between our forces and the rebels, also, that General Davis's brigade of Federal troops left Otterville on Friday for Lexington. These statements need confirmation. The rebel Captain Sweeny and 63 other rebel prisoners reached here last night. The last instalment of the Camp Jackson prisoners were sent to Cairo last night, to be forwarded to Columbus. Sedalia, Mo., Dec. 14.-- Parties from the West arrived here, report that 3,000 rebel troops, under General Stein, passed a point fifteen miles from Warrensburg on the 11th, evidently

meeting and sent Capt. James C. Taylor to Richmond, to ask of Gen. Cooper a suspension of marching orders, until the men were or could be supplied with overcoats; but the General refused to suspend the order and directed Capt. McLellend to send on five hundred overcoats. To our surprise, when they reached the regiment at Cedar Bluff, in Tazewell county, they were found to be made of cotton goods and were at once returned to the Captain at Richmond. The enemy left here in great haste. When they entered the town, they fired upon it without giving the women and children any chance for escape. This seems to be characteristic of the brave and gallant General Nelson. The ladies of this place hailed our approach with shouting and cheers — a perfect hallow of shouts went up for Jeff, Davis and his brave boys by the citizens as we hove in sight. The enemy devastated the country, and stole all the valuable movable property they could get their hands upon. Respectfully, "Vato."
