it would be a good idea, through
the medium of trade exchanges, or some
concert among principal dealers, to estab%

choke off extortion, and protect the reputa-ble
trade of the city from the d scredit
brought upon it by bazaars, smuggling
rendezvous, and other places of commercial
disrepute, which aro growing up in Rich-mond.
Tho Government is taming its attention
to the direct encouragement of special bran-ches
of manufacturing industry, and a sys-tem
of premiums to new cntepnses. lhe
effect of this policy on the manufacture in
he South of the important article of nitre
has been very striking, and the Govern-ment
is, wo learn, now receiving a supply of
this article at the rate of six hundred thou-sand
pounds a day.
Our city bankers are selling gold at
twenty-eight cents, and buying at twenty-one.
There is an excellent feeling in Gov-ernment
securities, and bonds of the first
fifteen million loan are quotod at two per
cent, premium. The now system of popu-lar
loan—of which we give an analysis ii.

wants. The Secretary of tho treasury has
determined to introduce some changes in

gone to New Orleans to tako charge of a

A citii-en ofNew Orleans, writing from
Barcolona to the Now Orleans Bulletin, con-cludes
an interesting letter as follows :
1 must certainly not omit tho most im-portant
event in my whole life, and in all
my travels. When 1 left Liverpool I had a
United States passport, which the United
States Consul in that city refused to vise,
saying that 1 must apply to the United
States Ambassador in London. On my
arrival in the metropolis of tho three king-doms,
1 went directly to fix my passport
matters, and directed my way to tho Uni-ted
States Minister. 1 was intioduccd in a
room where two secretaries were perform-ing
their duties, and i made known my
business.
One of them, a kind of Black Republican
looking fellow, questioned mo about my
birthplace and residence, occupation, &c.
1 answered correctly to all his questions

ted. finally, he comes up to me, ai\d says,
"Will you pleas tako the oath. "lhe
oath," savs 1. "What oath?" "The oath
of truth and fidelity to the Government of
the United States," says he. I replied, "1
will not take any oath, sir ; I am not of
age, and do not think myself authorized to
do such an act without the permission of
my father." After having laughed at my
objection, and assuring mo that such per-mission
was not necessary, he urged mo to
swear, and upon my refusal, he accused me
of being a rebel, and took from me my
passport. I got excited, and told him,
"well, sir, 1 do not think you have the right
to deprive me of my passport, and the name
of rebel you give to me is entirely out of
the question, as 1 am a minor, and have
not taken an«. part in any political contest.
" Well," says he, "and if you had been
of ago, what ticket would you havo voted?"
1 tound this question insulting, and an-swered,
roughly, "1 do not, know, sir."

The Fight witli Opotnleyliolo.
The Fort Smith (Ark.) Times of tho Sd
inst. says tho loss of the Confederate side,
in tho battlo with Opothleyholo, of the
Creek nation, on tho 26th of December
last, was bet eight killed and thirty-two
wounded. The enemy lost upwards of two
hundred and fifiy. The Times publishes
the following congratulatory order, issued
by Col. Mclntosh after the fight:
Headquarters Division,
Camp Opothleyholo, C. N., Deo. 28, 18ol.
General Order.
The colonel commanding is pleased to
congratulate tho troops of the several regi-ments
who participated in tho signal victo-ry
of the 26ih instant. In the short space
of ten days you have left your winter quar-ters,
marched over two hundred miles en-countered
snow storms, crossed rivers, and
having surmounted ail difficulties, succee-ded
in completely routing the enemy, un-der
the Creek Chief Opothleyholo, killing
many of his warriors, and capturing their
families, wagons, horses and cattle. His
stronghold bas been completely broken up
ar.d destroyed, and he has been driven from
tho territory of the Confederate States.—
The colonel commanding notices with
pride the promptness evinced by every offi-cer
and soldier in obeying the orders given
them, and with what willingness they all
left their winter quarters, to enduro the
colds and privations of a winter campaign,
which, by their gallantry, has been brought
to so glorious an end. Each and every
one has noblv done his duty.
JAMES MclNTOSH,
Colonel Commanding Division.
GENERAL INTELLIGENCE,
loves tho excitement of combinations, or
whatever else it may be, would conspiie
with the mice against the cat sooner than
not conspire at all. I struck me that he
was living apart from Montgomery, wait-ing
to bo called in, when 1 saw him, and I
have no doubt Mr. Devis selected him with
alarcity for the post which ho was well ad-apted
to fill Originally a Northern man,
ho has thrown himself into tho Southern
cause, and staked his great fortune on the
issue without hesitation, and with all the
force of his intellect and character. But
even ho believed that England must break
the blockade for cotton.
DIRECT MONTHLY MAILS PROM ENGLAND
AND SOUTHERN PORTS.—From the Nor-folk
correspondence of the Petersburg Ex*
press of tho 14th inst. we take the follow-ing:
The foreign consuls—that is, the consuls
of England and France—are to receive
mails every month. The two governments
aro to take it by turns, and in that way
either a French or British man of war will
reach Norfolk monthly. So, it will be soon
our trans-Atlantic brethren do not mean to
trust their mails to tho care of the Lincoln-iles
any longer. This is a move in the
right direction, which will very likely be
followed up by others.
ARRIVAL OF BRIDGE BURNERS.—Lieut.
W. F. Parker, company H, 29th Regiment,
(says the Asheville, N. C, News,) got on
tho trail of a couple of Tennessee bridge
burners last week, and with a squad of his
m°n followed them into this State, and
arrested them some 12 or 15 miles north
of this place, at 1 o'clock in tho morning.
Is CUMBERLAND GAP THE KEY.—We find
the following in the Chicago Tribune ol
December 2:1 :
It has been considered that the rebels, by
holding Cumberland Gap, possessed tho
key to East Tennessee. But this is an er-ror.
Tho gap is indeed the most direct and
the commonly traveled route,and isuatur-

"Ido not understand your conduct, sir,
says I. "1 have not done anything to make

when tho secretary said if I would take the
oath he would give me my passport, but if
not I must call again at 4 o'clock.
I immediately went to my bankers,
whero I was recommended, and exposed
my case to said gentlemen ; they all agreed
with me that the secretary of tho United
States ministers had no right to act as he
had, and that 1 was right in rofusing to
take any oath, and they recommended mo
to return and menace him with tho inter-ference
of Her Majesty's Government. So
I did, and the consequence was the man

Minister about tho matter.

who came with me to the Minister the next
day. Mr. D. had a pret'y animated con-versation
with the secretary in question,
and after much talking of what was right

State Journal furnishes tho gratifying in-telligence
that tins able and distinguished
general has been appointed commander-in-chiefof
the Confederate forces of Missouri

efficiency. The South feels assured
that Gen. Pr-cois ab'.o to achieve the de-liverance
of Missouri, and hereafter he will
be aided with all the forces she can spare.
There will bi no more misunderstandings

dastardly and cruel oppressors.—Memphis

GEN. MCCLKLLAN'S OPINION ABOUT THE
DURATION OF THE WAR—Schuyler Colfax
writes from Washington to his paper, the
South Bend (la.) Register, as follows :
In justice to Gen. McClellan, the com-mander-
in-chief, whom I met on Monday
morning, and had an interesting conversa-tion
with, I must state that be repeated
with emphasis a former declaration, that
the war would be short, though itprobably
mi"ht be desperate, and ho saw the way
clearly through to success in conquering
the rebellion. I cannot properly add man
ot his conversation, but sincerely hope all
his confident anticipations may be realized.
Ily a strong position, which the rebels
have, without doubt, made nearly impreg-nable.
We arc not limited, however, to
Cumberland Gap for a routo to Knoxville.
The Cincinnati Gazette says that surveys
made years ago demonstrate that the pas-sage
of the mountain can he made through
several passes. Nothing is easier at this
moment than to advance &corps d'armee on
Knoxville whenever there is a commander
with sagacity enough to accomplish it. The
Lord give us such a general, even though
he may have to be promoted from a gun-squad
for tho purpose.

FROM GEN. CRITTKNDEN'S DIVISION—
CONFEDERATE VICTORY IN KENTUCKY.—Tho
Knoxvillo Register, of tho 17th inst.,
bays:
By a private letter from Gen. Crittonden's
command, we learn that a skirmish recen-tly
took place between onr forces in Ken-tacky
and the enemy, in which the Yankees
were completely routed, with a reported
loss of twenty. The letter states that "on
Thursday, (the 9th,) the General ordered a
part of his command across the river, and
when we arrived at the bank, tbo Yankees
commenced a brisk fire en us. We were
ordered to return the fire, when they threw
down their arms and ran. A man that saw
the fight says there were twenty of the
enemy killed. Thero was nobody killed
on our side, and only two wounded. Wo
took a largo amount of arms and ammu-nition."
DIFFICULTY BETWEEN LIBERIA AND SPAIN.
Tho negro republic of Liboria has a quarrel
on its hands with Spain, that is likely to
bring upon it a terrible chastisement:
The Monrovia (Liberia) correspondent
of the Boston Journal writes that a naval
engagement took place in that harbor on
the 11th, a Spanish war steamer being bea-ten
in an attempt to revenge on the Liber-ian
authorities. It seems that tho Liber-ian
Bchooner Quail overhauled and bur.ied
a Spanish slaver in Galinas some months
before. The Spanish Governor at Fernan
uo Po become greatly enraged at hearing
of it, and ordered a war steamer to proceed
to Monrovia and either sink or capture the
Quail.
THE IRISH FAMINE.—Although Sir Ro-bert
Peel has reported that there is nothing
liko a famine impending in Ireland, the ac-counts
from other sources indicate that
thero is, beyond doubt, a great scarcity of
food and fuel, and consequently much want
and suffe'ing. The latest Irish and English
journals state that the news from the town
of Gal way and tho western country general-ly
is of a very melancholy character. Tho
corporation of Dublin had, by a unanimous
vote, called the attention oftho English ex-ecutive
lo the impending fate of tho people
by death from starvation, while tho friends
of their country and humanity in Tuam and
Calway had come forward with tbn moai

PROCLAMATION FROM THE GOVERNOR OF

stored on tho Trinity
eighteen years, with the interest at the
rate ofeight per cent, per annum, payable
semi-annually, in coin.
Holders of treasury notes can, at any
time, procuro from the same treasurer,
assistant treasurer, depositories or com-missioners,
bonds or registered stock in
exchange for treasury notes ; said bonds or
stock to bo reconvenible, at the pleasure
of the holder, into treasury notes, and to
bear interest at the rate of six per cent,
per annum until so reconverted, and thus
constituting a deposit on all, bearing six
per cent, interest.
Both classes ot stock—that of six por
cent., available as deposit on call, and that
of eight per oent., payable at any period of
six months—present better advamages for
investment than tbo usual standards ot
commercial loans, and will, no doubt in oth-er
regards recommend themselves to th*
people of the South.

Paris correspondent of the St. Louis Re-publican
writes : _
Archbishop Hughes, of New York
preached on Sunday last, at the Church ol
St. Roch. Many Americans were present,
tho majority being attracted by the hope of

Archbishop confined himself entirely to a
discussion ofthe dogma of the "Immacu-late
Conception," the eighth ^^ersary
of whose proclamation, by Pius IX, occur

POOR SAMBO AMONG THE Tlllw - A
nogro belonging to Mr. Chapman had lli«
good luck to escape from the Hessians at
Port Royal and reach hie master, in Sevan-ah,
last Friday. He describes tho treat*.
mentolthe unfortunate servants in tho
hands of the Northern troope, tt Port
Royal, as hard in tho extreme. They are
forced to labor on the entrenchment from
gray dawn until dark, unremitingly, an.I
are then confined undor guard at night.—
Mr. Chapman's servant managed to escape
at night—slipped by the pickets in the
darkness, and put otffrom the island in a
batteau. He says the nefroes he left bo-tiind
aro in a melancholy condition—sick
oiiougb. of Northern bosses.

that it is not desirable that his nephews
should be in a position which might neces-sitate
