possibility of getting into Charleston is still more circumscribed, the only channels remaining being the Swash and a portion of Maffitt's, and I have never less than three vessels covering them, and which now ride out the gales at anchor." A letter from Mr. Seward to Smith O'Brien has been published. Mr. O'Brien is urged, if he would promote the cause of America, of Great Britain, and of humanity at large, to speak and act for the American Union. Ex-Governor Joseph A. Wright, of Indiana, is talked of as the successor of Jesse D. Bright in the United States Senate. Mr. Wright is a Democrat, and was at one time very strong in his partizan feelings. The old Whig papers used to say that Bright was never right and Wright was not bright. That Abolition agitator, Dr. Cheever, is busy all over the country at his diabolical work, and flits about from New York to Harrisburg, and from Harrisburg to Washington, like an evil spirit. It reflects no credit upon Congress that Cheev

e cruisers of the United States. The same measure had been adopted by the United States in order to make the blockade complete. When the war was ended the removal of all these obstructions would be a more matter of expense; there would be no great difficulty in removing them effectually. Besides, as had already been done in the case of Port Royal, the United States would open better harbors than those which they closed. I asked Mr. Seward whether the principal entrance to Charleston harbor had not been recently closed altogether by vessels sunk by order of this Government; and I observed to him that the opening of a new port, thirty or forty miles off would hardly console the people of the large town of Charleston for the destruction of their own harbor. Mr. Seward said that the best proof he could give me that the harbor of Charleston had not been rendered inaccessible was, that in spite of the sunken vessels and of the blockading squadrons, a British steamer, lade

They expect to march to the Cherokee Nation in ten days after leaving Leavenworth. The arrest of Gen. Stone for treason has taken the troops on the Upper Potomac by surprise. There is little regret, however, that Gen. Gorman succeeds him in command, at least temporarily. The Senate has confirmed George W. Palmer of New York, Consul to Canada, and James R. Partridge, of Maryland, Minister Resident at Honduras. This evening the officers of the Irish brigade gave a grand banquet in honor of their new Commander, Gen. Thomas F. Meagher. Fortress Monroe, Feb. 10, 1862. Ten deserting contrabands came to Camp Hamilton this afternoon, having been found by a scouting party under Capt. Donovan, of the 16th Massachusetts regiment.

Late dispatches from New Mexico state that the rebels, 2,500 strong, are within thirty miles of Fort Craig, but that Col. Can by felt able to make a successful resistance. It is reported that a considerable force of Texans are advancing up the Rio Pecos to attack Fort Union. An express had been sent to Denver City for reinforcements, and the Colorado troops would probably march Immediately. Martial law has been proclaimed in that Territory, and all able-bodied men drafted to serve in the militia. The Navy Department has received official notice from Capt. Dupout of the sinking of the second stone fleet off Charleston, in that portion of Maffitt's Channel between Rattlesuake Shoal and the shore, through which the rebel steamer Isabel escaped on her last trip. Capt. Dupout states that there ar

oldiers. Cincinnati, Feb. 11.--A special dispatch from Indianapolis to the Commercial says that two men were arrested at Princeton, Ind. a few days since, by the Surveyor of the port. Upon searching the persons, their clothing and boot legs were found wadded with letters for parties in the South, many of them from Europe. One of them had a large amount of gold on his person. Reinforcements have gone forward from Danville and Somerset to support General Thomas in his movement on Knoxville. The statement of an escaped Confederate soldier. I have been conversing this morning with Mr. Wm. Barr, who came from Port Royal a few days ago. Mr. Barr is a citizen of Philadelphia, and has been residing in the South for some years. He went to Savannah nearly three years since, where he was employed in the house of Messrs. Williams & Roach.--Before the war broke out he was a member of the Irish Volunteers, a local military company, to which he belonged when Fort Sumter fell.

rebellion was so strong that it was impossible for a Union man to come to the North, or avoid impressment into the rebel service. Speaking of the general feeling among the Irish and Germans, he thinks there is a deep, latent Union feeling; but the general poverty of their condition, and their subordinate social position, rendered them in the power of the Secession leaders. Mr. Barr was anxious to come to the North, but he was transferred to Tybee Island. When the loyalists captured Hilton Head he was transferred to Fort Pulaski, where he was made a corporal of the guard. After remaining there until December 20th he made up his mind to desert. He cut a raft of timber from its moorings during the day, and permitted it to float over to Tybee Island where our forces are in possession. About six o'clock in the evening he was on picket duty at the wharf under the fort. He told the men under him he would paddle out into the bay and obtain some oysters on which they could mess. He

Ten deserting contrabands came to Camvance has been made by our troops from Patterson's Creek, New Creek and other points, but whether it was to get out of the mud or engage the enemy in battle, we, of course, do not know, and shall have to await reliable information. Ferderick, Md., Feb. 10.--Everything has been quiet along Colonel Geary's line since the prompt retribution for the murder of Rohr. The indignation here and along the river at the dastardly act is intense, and a hasty punishment will be inflicted upon the indiv

any other influence we could exert. When the news reaches the Old World of our triumph at Mill Springs, the capture of Fort Henry, the success of General Burnside, notwithstanding the numerous obstacles he was unexpectedly obliged to encounter, and of the great preparations we have made for hemming in the enemy upon all sides, there will, we hope, be little disposition to sustain the infamous conspiracy which is now gasping in the last stages of a rapid decline. There are now at Leavenworth, Kansas, some fifteen thousand troops, with a large supply of cavalry and a fair proportion of artillery. The entire force that will accompany Gen. Hunter in his expedition will consist of about thirty-four thousand troops, and as they will march to the west of Missouri, through the Cherokee Nation, and enter Arkansas below Van Buren, it is supposed that they will have no difficulty in obtaining subsistence. They expect to march to the Cherokee Nation in ten days after leaving Leavenworth.

o publish a word of his disunion orations. A bid providing for the emancipation of slaves, with compensation to the owners, is now before the Legislature of Delaware. By this bill it is provided that all slaves over thirty-five years of age shall be freed within ninety days after it becomes a law; all under thirty-five shallslavery is to cease after January 1, 1872. These provisions are made conditional upon this, that "Congress will, at its present session, engage to pay to the State of Delaware, in bonds of the United States, bearing interest at the rate of six per centum per annum, the sum of $900,000, in ten annual instalments, $90,000 to be payabestablish a fund for securing full and fair compensation to the owners of slaves who shall have been divested of their property by force of the act in question."
