The rumor of an order from the War Department for his safe conduct to the North, in the last two days, has created intense excitement throughout this country, especially among those who have friends and relatives, now languishing in prison on account of his teachings. Jas. Clark, of Cocke county, was yesterday bound over before his Honor, the Commissioner, to appear at the term of Confederate Court, in this city, on the 3d Monday, in December, and for his good behavior in the interim. Jesse Bunker, of Knox county, was also arrested yesterday, on a charge of inciting rebellion, and committed to prison to await his trial. Arkansas intelligence — a secret Lincoln organization in Van Buren county The Little Rock State Journal of the 29th notices the arrival at that city of twenty-seven prisoners, members of a secret Lincoln organi- zation from Van Buren county.

The cowardly Despotism at Washington. [From the Richmond Whig, Dec. 3.] Through the instrumentality of one of Seward's confidential agents, we have come in possession of the following letter, addressed by a brave and noble woman, to Lincoln's vizier. We are given to understand, that the perusal of it was not without visible effect upon that impersonation of all human villainy. The twitchings of the muscles, and his agitated manner betrayed, not perhaps, any compunction, but a sense of personal insecurity at the hands of the avenging Nemesis. This letter is the most graphic sketch, yet given to the world, of the cruel and dastardly tyranny, which the Yankee Government has established at Washington. Russell, in one of his letters to the London Times, mentions the expedient of " arrest by telegraph," which has been introduced by Seward, as something new and appalling, and outstripping all the ingenious contrivances of all the despotisms that ever existed. But the incarcera

Deferred Proceedings. The following petition was presented in the House of Delegates on the 3d of December: Mr. Tomlin, of King William, presented petition of George R. Baylor, to have refunded a sum of money paid on account of license, which petition was ordered to be referred to the Committee on Finance. On the 7th, Mr. Tomlin also offered the following resolution: Resolved, That the Committee on Military Affairs be instructed to inquire into the expediency of so amending the militia laws as to require that all liable to the performance of the duties of militiamen shall be

al of the sentiments expressed by frequent applause. The Bishop of Labuan, in proposing a vote of thanks to Mr. Beresford Hope, for his instructive and interesting lecture, said he was sure all present would feel deeply grateful that their lot was cast in old England, and that this Government was not tossed shout upon the turbulent sea of democracy, which knew no stability and no rest. (Hear, hear) The Canadian view of the rebellion of the United States.[from the Toronto Lendor', Dec. 3. The New York Times says truly that the military movements undertaken in Canada are another "symptom of a growing alienation between the two countries" The comments of our contemporary, appended to the letter of its Quebec correspondent, are not calculated to arrest this feeling or to develop Canadian faith in the friendliness of our Northern neighbors. If those who profess to rebuke mischief-makers themselves seize every occasion to misrepresent and ridicule all that pertains to Canada,

mate, and caused in this climate by over work and exposure, especially in the water. These diseases are congestive and remittent fever, acute dysentery, and malarious pneumonia, all of the most malignant and dangerous type. Six cases of small pox have resulted fatally, every one of which would have been saved by proper hospital accommodation. Eighteen cases are now in hospital, some of which will be fatal for the same reason. The sudden charge of weather and fall in the temperature, Dec. 3, was followed by instant increase in the number of deaths.--That night three men were literally frozen to death; two cases of small pox and one of congestive fever, all in a fair way of recovery, but unable to resist the cold against which there was no protection. The almost equally sudden change of last Wednesday night brought with it great increase of suffering to all the sick, and two other men in with the congestive fever, who would otherwise have recovered, were killed by the cold.

Department of State, Washington, Dec. 27, 1861. Sir: I have submitted to the President the copy you were so good as to give me on the dispatch addressed to you of the 3d December instant, concerning the recent proceedings of Capt. Wilkes, in arresting certain persons on board of the British Contract and Mail Steamer Trent. Before receiving the paper, however, the President had decided upon the disposition to be made of the subject, which has caused so much anxiety in Europe. That disposition of the subject, as I think, renders unnecessary any discussion of it in reply to the comments of M. Thouvenel. I am permitted, however, to say that M. Thouvenel has not
