ks complete in which it was deemed by scientific men that improvement could be made. The winter quarters are as airy, comfortable, and convenient as could be expected, and our brave troops are now in a condition to pass through the winter safely and comfortably. I have just learned that the very loud music heard here yesterday was made by the large guns at Fort Monroe. The Yankee gunners down there were practicing with their heaviest pieces. They fired rapidly, and continued the expensive fire for several hours.--The great noise they made was so distinctly heard here, that it was supposed the ponderous instruments played upon were not as distant as Old Point. Should Lincoln refuse to give up the Commissioners, and John Bull give the Northerners the drubbing which they so richly deserve, it will be no difficult matter, with the British ship Warrior, &c., &c., on the water, and Magruder in the rear, to starve the noisy fellows out of Fort Monroe in a very short time.

President Lincoln's first Levee. The New York Herald's Washington telegraphic correspondent, writing under date of the 17th inst., says: The President gave his first levee of the season tspect, as many suppose. Deputy Marshall Phillips did the introductory to the President. Mrs. Lincoln never seemed in finer spirits. She was attired in a light figured silk brocade, elegantly flf perseverance the General, with Mrs. McClellan leaning on his arm, reached the President and Mrs. Lincoln, where quite a lively scene occurred. The President grasped the General with both hands, sayral, I am glad to see you and Mrs. McClellan." The President then conducted Mrs. McClellan to Mrs. Lincoln, and the four joined in conversation. The cordiality manifested by the President and the Genr. Mrs. McClellan was a new star in the Presidential mansion, and shared the honors with Mrs. Lincoln with a modest grace and dignity that won her hosts of admirers. She is of medium height and

Cox, of Company A, is here, and we spend about one-third of our time in walking the floor, and talking over the chances of being exchanged or getting off on "parole of honor." Alva L. Morris, Co. C, 1st California Regiment. Proclamation of General Phelps to the people of the Southwest. One Gen. Phelps, of the old army, and a Vermonter by birth, has been assigned by Lincoln to the command of the Yankee troops at Ship Island, Gulf of Mexico. On arriving there, he issued a proclamation, the first paragraph of which is as follows: Headquarters Middlesex Brigade,Ship Island, Miss., Dec. 14, 1861. To the Loyal Citizens of the Southwest: Without any desire of my own, but contrary to my private inclination, I again find myself among you as a military officer of the Government. A proper respect for my fellow-countrymen renders it not out of place that I

inasmuch as no such demands have been made nor had any communication whatever upon the subject reached the President and Secretary Seward up to eleven o'clock last night, either from England or from Lord Lyons--The Queen's messenger had not arrived in Washington up to that time, nor is there the least inclination on the part of the Cabinet to deliver up Mason and Slidell under any circumstances now contemplated. The excitement in England does not appear to create any alarm in the mind of Mr. Lincoln or his constitutional advisers. On the contrary, they are said to take the matter very easy. The Jura, at Portland, yesterday, brings important news from Europe to the 6th of December--one day later. Our European files by the Europa were also received yesterday. The papers are dated in London and Paris to the 30th of November. When the Jura sailed England was still deeply agitated on the question of the arrest of Mason and Slidell under her flag. The Cabinet continued its pre

re is less work and greater expenditure, both in pay and waste, than any other kind of labor in Christendom. They believe religiously that one white man can do the work of three negroes, and do it better and more cheaply. Hence, they never dream of permitting the negro to remain in the South after they have made him free. He is to be sent out of the country, and white laborer to take his place. This is one of the most popular of Yankee notions, and it is being gradually developed by Abraham Lincoln. African colonization, an exploded humbug, is revived again under the auspices of that prolific source of humbugs, the Washington Administration. We want no better evidence on the subject than has been collected by George Francis Train himself, the very man who has become notorious of late in London by his abuse and denunciation of the Southern Confederacy. In a work published in England only last year, in which Train undertook to show that the North and England profited most by

proposed exchange of Mr. Faulkner for Mr. Ely having been effected, the latter has been released from his imprisonment in this city, and will leave for Norfolk this morning on his way North. He has paid somewhat dearly for his curiosity in coming out to see the great battle of July 21st, and his entertainment at the "rebel capital" was of a different character from that anticipated by the jolly Congressmen who left Washington on that auspicious occasion. His experience, however, may prove beneficial to him and to others of his class. His demeanor while in prison has been such as to win the good opinion of those who have seen him, though such a "privilege" has never been sought by the writer of this paragraph, and we have consequently no personal knowledge of the individual. How he will deport himself in the halls of Lincoln's Congress hereafter is a matter in respect to which we feel no interest, no do we see how it can affect the cause of the South either one way or the other.

or not. There never has been such a favorable time for an active campaign as the present. The season is fine, and the weather clear and bracing. Kentucky is in a condition just now — in consequence of the abolition programme laid down by Lincoln in his message, and by his Secretary of War, Cameron, in his report to Congress — to revolt against Federal domination. Those who have been, heretofore, the strongest Union men, are disgusted and alarmed, and are ready to come over to our side.federate officers to return to their families. There is one instance of a prominent Federal officer having made such an application to our Commanding General. It is reported also, that one of Bully Nelson's regiments revolted after having read Lincoln's message and Cameron's report, and are now under arrest in Louisville. The Louisville Journal, the pliant instrument of Yankee despotism up to this time, has turned round, and denounces fiercely the expressed purposes of the Government at

ry" before many moons. Pork is worth only five dollars, gross, at Prestonsburg, and corn thirty cents a bushel. These articles are still cheaper in the interior. Mail communication, twice a week, by couriers, has just been established between Abingdon and General Marshall's headquarters. The promptness of Judge Reagan, and Mr. Willis Roberts, his agent, in opening so important a route, deserves commendation. Mr. Roberts tells me that he was compelled to leave his home, near Lexington, to escape swallowing the awful mouthful of Lincoln's oath. This gentleman is one among the many who have not seen the loved ones at home for long and weary months. He is an old man, and the blood boils when his wrongs, like those of thousands, are recited. And the prayer involuntarily escapes the lips that the despicable tyranny which weighs so heavily on Kentucky, may soon be removed, and her people, free as the mountain air, walk forth "erect with native honor clad."
