The Position offtic Rebels ia Tennessee. The Lafayette Courier of yesterday states that all advices from Tennessee go to show most positively, the fact that Bragg's entire army is concentrating between Murfrecsboro and Chattanooga, for tho purpose of contesting the advanco of Gen. .Rosecrans' army. The rebel strength is estimated at not less than GO,000 men and some apparently well informed correspondents place it as high as 100,000. :Tho conscription in the South has been most rigorously enforced, aud we have no reason to doubt that the rebel army in Tennessee has been greatly augmented thereby. The rebels seem determined not to abandon Middle Tennessee without a struggle for its supremacy, and a great battle will ere long be fought between Nashville and Chattanooga. "Gen. Rosecrans' lino of communication is now fully established, his army in splendid condition and fine disciplined, and an advance from its present position will undoubtedly bo made the present week. Wo ma}' therefore expect to hear stirring news from that direction.

In one ward was a bravo soldier with an amputated thigh, who longed for good apples. I took half a dozen of the finest sent and went to his bedside —gave him one and placed the others on his stand—his eyes sparkled with delight ho grasped me by tho han.u and exclaimed, "Oh, hbw beautiful oh, haw fine, ho^v good they look." I left him and called again this morning— tho samo joyous smile was on his face —he again grasped my hand and said, "they were the best apples I ever tasted," and pointed to one yet lying on his stand.

Our men charged splendidly whenever they met the enemy. White's cavalry were driven in "all directions. Nearly all their officers captured and their colors taken, while he fled and hid in a house in Berryville.

Tho 3d, 7th and 12th Virginia cavalry wero also attacked and routed.— Forty of their men with their horses were taken, fifty killed and wounded and two colors taken, one wagon load of pistols and carbincs was picked up in the road, thrown away by the flyingenemy.

Tho peoplo fired upon some rebel cavalry while they were conscripting. '"The rebels arc foraging extensively, seizing the winter meat of private families. The guerrillas attacked Gen.

The President says: '•The correspondence touching foreign affairs which has taken plaqe during the past year, is herewith submitted, in compliance with tho request to at effect. If the condition of our ro

moro satisfactory than a nation so un-

happily distracted might have rcasona bly apprehended. A blockade of 3.500 milos of sea coast could not be established and vigorously enforced in a season of great commercial activity like the present Without committing occasional mistakes, and inflicting unintentional injuries upon foreign nations ami subjects.

Avhoso

protection is de-

manded by the claimants. There arc more cases, in which tho United States or their citizens suffer wrongs from the naval or military authorities of foreign nations which tho Government of these States are not at once prepared to redress. "I have proposed to some of the foreign States, interested mutually, a contention to examine and adjust such complaints as have been made, especially to Great Britain, Franco, Spain and Prussia. In cach case it has been favorably received but not yet formally adopted. Applications have been made to mo by many free Americans of African desccnt to favor their emigration, with a view-to such colonization as was contemplated in the recent acts of Congress. Othor parties, at homo and abroad, some from interested and other motives, have suggested similar measures, while on the other hand several of tho Spanish American Republics havo protested against the sending of such colonies to their respective territories. Under theso circumstances I have declined to move any such colony to any State without first obtaining the consent of its government, with an agreement, on its part, to receive and protect such emigrants in all their rights as freemen, and I have, at the same time, offered to the several States situated in the tropics, or having colonies there, to negotiate with them, subject to tho advice and conscnt of tho Senate, to favor the voluntary emigration of portions of that class to their respective territories, upon conditions which shall be equal, just and humano. Liberia and Hayti arc yet the only countries to which colonies of African desccnt from hero could go with certainty of being received and adopted as citizens. And I regret to say that such persons contemplating colonization do not seem so willing to emigrate to those countries as to some other, nor as willing as I think their interest demands. I believe, however, that the opinion is improving, and that ere long there will be an augmented and considerable emigration to both theso countries. "Our relations with European States remain undisturbed, and with States of other continents have improved, especially Mexico, Costa Rica, &c."

The President speaks of the favored project, Iho Atlantic Telegraph, and of extending tho Pacific telegraph to connect with that being extended across the Russian Empire. IIo thinks tho mineral resources of tho Territories, ought to bo developed as rapidly as possible. Every step in that direction would have a tendency to improve the revenues. It is worthy of serious consideration whether some extraordinary measures to promoto that end cannot be adopted. Tho means which suggests itself as most likely to be elective is a scientific exploration.

The vast expenditures incident to the military and naval operations required for the suppression of the rebellion, have hitherto been met with a promptitude and certainty unusual in similar circumstances, and the public credit has been fully maintained. The continuance of tho war, however, and the increased embarrassments made necessary, demand your best reflections as to the best modes of providing the necessary revenue. Tho suspension of specie payment by tho banks made largo issues of United States notes unavoidable. In no other way could the payment ofthe troops and the satisfaction of other just demands bo so economically or so well provided. 2 "It is extremely doubtful whether a circulation of United States notes, payable in coin, and sufficiently large for the wants of the people can bo permanently, usefully and safely maintained. Is there any other modo in which the necessary provision for tho public wants can be made and the great advantages of a safe and uniform currency securcd? I know of nono which promises so certain results, and is at the samo time so unobjectionable, as tho organization of banking associations under a general act of Congress, well guarded in its provisions. To such associations the Government might furnish circulating notes on the security of United States bonds deposited in the Treasury the notes to be prepared under tho supervision of proper officers, being uniform in appearance and security, and convertible always into

coin—at

Lincoln has been pre

onco protect labor against tho

ovils of a vicious currency, and facilitate commcrco by cheap and safe exchanges a moderate reservation from the interest on tho bonds would compensate the United States for the preparation and distribution of the notes, aad a general supervision of tho system and would lighten part of the public debt employed as security.— The public-credit, moreover, would bo o-rea'tly improved, and the negotiation of .new loans greatly facilitated, by tho steady market deiiiand for Govern men bonds, which tho adoption of the proposed

system

additional

would treate. This is an

recom.'mendation

of tho

measure of considerable weight. In my judgment, this would reconcilo as far as possible all existing .interests by opportuni' ~"a

offered to existing in

substituting only tho secured uniform national circulation for the local and various circulation now issued."

Thjo President then gives-a summary

tho Secretaries of tho Navy and War and says, "though lengthy they are only brief abstracts." lie says there is a decided improvement in tho financial condition of tho PostOffico Department, compared with the preceding years.:

The Secretary of tho^nterior reports that the public lands hiw ceased to be a source of revenue:

Speaking of Indian affairs a"tr^ the recent troubles, he says "I subn^ior your special consideration whether our Indian system shall riot be remodeled."

He suggests the earliest completion of the Pacific Railroad also the favorable action of Congress on the projects for enlarging the great canals of Now York, Illinois and Michigan.

The President refers to his compensated emancipation proclamation of September 22d, and says, "that portion ofthe earth occupied by tho people of tho United States iii well adapted for the home of one national family, but not for two or mQVe. In tho Inaugural •Address briefly pointed out the total inadequacy of disunion as a remedy for difference between tho people of the two sections. I did so in language which I cannot improve. Physically speaking we cannot separate—we cannot remove our respective sections from cach other, nor build an impassable wall between them."

Ho then remarks at length on the difficulty of making any national boundary line. The President then suggests amendments to the Constitution, Congress concurring, to bo proposed to tho Legislatures or conventions of the several States, which, if ratified by three-fourths of said Legislatures, to be valid as parts of said Constitution.

from tho Secretary of the Treasury's War, states that lie st&rted on the 24tb Report. IIo refers to the Reports of|0fjuly

The first articlc proposes that all Stales abolishing slavery before the 1st of January, 1863. shall receive compensation from the United States. 2d. All slaves freed by the chances of war any time before the end of the rebellion, shall be forever free, but all owners who have not been disloj-al shall be compensated. 3d. Congress may appropriate money and otherwiso provide for colonizing free colored persons, with their conscnt, in anyplace without the United States. The President discusses these articles at some length, and asks, if then, for a common object, slave property is to be sacrificed, is it not just that it bo done at tho common charge? And if with less money, or money more easily paid, we can preserve the benefits of the Union by this means, better than we can by tho war alone, is it not economical to do it?— The proposed emancipation would shorten this war, perpetuate peace, insure an increase in population and proportionately in the wealth of the country.

Tho President then says: "The plan consisting of theso articles is recommended, not that a restoration of the national authority would bo accepted without its adoption, nor will the war or proceedings under the proclamation of September 22d be stayed because of the recommendation of this plan. Its timely adoption, I doubt not, would bring a restoration, and thereby stay both, and notwithstanding this plan, tho recommendation that Congress provide by law for compensating any

State

which may adopt the emancipation before this plan shall have been acted upon, is hereby earnestly renewed. "This plan is recommended' as a means not in conclusion of, but additional to all others, for restoring and preserving the national authority thro'out the Union. The subject is presented exclusively in its economical aspect. The plan is proposed as permanent, constitutional law."

Jn conclusion, the President sa^ "Tho dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate"to the storm}- present.— Tho occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with tho occasion". Tho fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor to the latest generation. "We say that wo arc for the Union. The world will not forget that while wo say this we do not know how to savo the Union and giving freedom to tho slave wo ensure freedom to the free, honorable alike in what wo give and what wc preserve. Wo shall nobly savo or meanly lose tho last best hopo of tho earth. Other means may succeed. This could not fail the way is plain, peaceful, generous, just —a way which, if followed, tho world will forever applaud, and God must forever bless."

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE) POTOMAC, November 30,1862. Considerable excitement has been occasioned by tho circulation of a report hero that a proposition had been made by the rebels for an armistice of thirty days, and that Deo was already in Washington arranging terms of agreement. No ci-edenco is put in this rumor, however.

Tho rebels are working with redoubled vigor on their fortifications, and their cavalry of late have been very active and havo captured a number of our pickets "along tho fords of the river, besides the two companies of the 3d Pennsylvania cavalry at Ilarwood Church. .,

Longstreetcommands tho right wing and Hill tho left ofthe rebel forces confronting us.

Deserters coming within our lines report that a large body of forces have been sent off, either to Richmond or to reinforco Stonewall Jaekeon. Tho ropo.rts must be received with great,.caution, however.

Our cavalry have captured a number of rebels along tho river below this place.

dens. IlallecR and McCJBellan. WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. Gen. ITaileck, the Commander in Chief, in his report %the Secretary of

visit the army ofthe Potomac

to ascertain if there was a possibility of an. advance upon Richmond from Harrisons Landing, and if not, to form some plan for uniting the armies of Pope and McClellan, who was of the opinion that it would take 50,000 men to go. Hallcck replied there could not possibly be sent more than 20,000. McClellan asked to consider the matter till morning, when he agreed to go on with that nnmb'cr. On Ilallcck's arrival at home he received a dispatch that at least 35,000 would be required. The report states that such reinforcements could not bo sent without leaving Washington and Baltimore almost defenceless, and an order for tho withdrawal of tho army of tho Potomac was issued Aug. 3d. A provious order having been given for the removal of the sick, and transports in vast numbers supplied, but a protest was received from Gen. McClellan on the 3th.— That the order was not put in force for eleven days—on the 15th. On the 1st, orders

Averc

issued to Gen. Burnside

to embark at Newport News for Acquia Creek, who arrived promptly on the 3d.

A review of the movement before Washington is mad* IIo says a part ofthe army of tho Potom ic was ordered forward from Alexandria, and that Gen. Cox was ordered by rail via Washington from Western Virginia with the main portion of his forcc.

Of Gen. Pope's order, on tho 27th, to Porter, to bo at Bristow Station next morning, he says for some unexplained reason Porter did not comply and his corps was not in the battles of the 28th and 29th, in which Gen. Pope gained soino ground although the battles were not decisive.

Of the reinforcements from Alexandria embracing at length tho whole Peninsula arm}-, ho says sorno of the corps moved with becoming activity but the delays of others wore neither creditable nor excusable. The soidiers actually engaged in these battles fought with great braver}-, but many thousand straggled away from their commands, and it is said not a few voluntarily surrendered to the enemy, so as to be paroled.

It is added "had the army of tho Potomac arrived five days earlier the rebels could havo been easily defeated, and perhaps destroyed."

The loss at South Mountain and Antictwm are put at 1.741 killed, 8,000 wounded and 813 missing, making a total of 10,721.

Tho reports also states that tho army rested on the north bank ofthe Potomac, near Sharpsburg, from tho 17th of Sept. until the 2Gth of Oct., and says that long inactivity of so largo" an army, in the face of a defeated foe, during the most favorable season for rapid marches and vigorous campaigns was a matter of great disappointment and regret-.

Ilallock says ho telegraphed McClellan October tith to cross the river.— Gen. McClellan disapproved of tho plan of crossing south ofthe Blue Ridge, but proposed to cross at Harpers Ferry and move on Winchester, but did not cross until Oct. 26th, and then at .Berlin the passage occupying till Nov. 3d. During this period General McClellan stopped communicating with the com-mander-in-Chief, addressing the President. On tho 5th his removal was ordered.

Foreign Sews. CAPE RACE, Dec. 3.

Tho steamer llibcrnia from Diverpool, tho 22d, Qeeenstown on the 23d, passed here yestccday afternoon.

McClellan's removal caused a depression in American securities. Tho London Times says it is the first effect of the election on Lincoln. McClellan is sacrificcd to political jealousy to the party in power, being known to be a conservative, and opposed to tho violent acts of the Executive. The Times questions the success of the movement. It makes McClellan a conservative martyr.

The Army and Navy Gazctto regards tho removal as the defiance of tho government of tho Democrats and the humiliation of Mr. Lincoln. No moment it says has been more favorable for bold confederate movements.— It questions Burnsides ability for the appointment.

There wero vague rumors that France had sent another nolo to England in response to Earl Russell's roply.

The salo of sundry fast coasting steamers for running the blockade is reported. A steamer, name unknown, recently left with six hundred tons of arms for the confederates.

Tlie Peace Party.

The Atlanta (Georgia) Intelligencer, in a scorching review of Bragg's Kentucky campaign has the following passage, which the admirers of Vallandir.gham and his peculiar views, will do well to ponder upon:^, •,

Had Geaeral Bragg done his duty as woll and promptly"as General Smith did, Louisville would have been ours, Cincinnati would havo furnished us supplies, while Columbus, Ohio, might have been our headquarters. Then would tho Yallandinghain's of Ohio, and the Bright's of Indiana, have rallied to the issuing of Bragg's noted proclamation then would many thousand friends in Indiana, Ohio and Illinois, have joined the Southern army then, too, could Bragg, having cut off the Western from the Eastern States, havo whispered terms of peace into tho Northwestern ear and then might we havo reasonably hoped for peace. But now all hope of peace is indefinitely postponed, and our prospects are gloomier than when we began to cross the mountains, because our appearance near tho Ohio has caused many a man J,0

to be added to tho Northern army, that
