In the Senate, yesterday, a bill was introduced to prohibit speculative traffic in gold, silver, and foreign exchange. In the House, that part of the President’s message referring to treatment of the rebel States was referred to a select committee of nine. The Secretary of War was directed to communicate the official report of Gen. McClellan. An attempt was made on Sunday to cut Gen Meade's communication with Washington, the rebel cavalry endeavoring to destroy the bridge near Catlett's Station: but the attempt resulted unsuccessfully, the Federal forces succeeding in diiving off their antagonist. Senator McDougall intends introducing a resolution in Congress inquiring into the propriety of declaring war against France, on account of Napoleon’s recent operations in Mexico. Our present war is conducted on so insignificant a scale that it is desirable, by all means, for our reputation as a first-class power that we shall engage in a combat with one or more European nat ions. Foster has arrived at Knoxville, and taken command of tha Army of Ohio. Burnside is en route for Cincinnati. It is reported that Gen’l Sheridan has had an encounter with Longstreet’s rearguard, in which he was badly worsted, and received, himself, a severe wound. A brigade of American troops of African descent marched from Portsmouth, Va.recer.tlv, and occupied Elizabeth Citv, N. C. A force of 2 000 rebels attacked Natchez on the Ist inst., but were repulsed. The position is being fortified by the Federals. Banks’ expedition to Texas is declared to be “a gloiious success.” Two Federal regiments have already been recruited. The demand of the Loyal League for the removal of Gen. Schofield has been complied with, and he has been ordered to report at Washington. The rebel Secretary of the Treasury estimates the debt of the Confederacy at $1,000,000,000. The amount required for the year 186-1 is about $1,500,000,000.* The Federal losses during the seige of Knoxville were about 1,(100. Those of the rebels are estimated at 5,000. The seizure of the steamer Chesapeake was a bold affair. She was bound from New York to Portland, with a cargo valued at SIBO,OOO, and was taken possession of on Monday morning, about 1 o'clock, by a party of rebels numbering about sixteen, who were apparently unarmed and inoffensive passengers. The Captain was put in irons, the 2d Engineer was shot deid and thrown overboard. and some other of the officers (Wounded. The proceeding took place about twenty-one miles northcast of Cape Cod. The officers and crew, together with the passengers, were landed by the captors at Partridge Island, and the (steamer then started off to sea. At last advices she was off the coast, of No va IScotia. Several Federal vessels are in pursuit. The President has pardoned E. W. Gant, of Arkansas, formerly a Brigadier General in the rebel service, captured by our forces at Fori Pillow—pardoned him of the penalties of treason said to be incured hy him. This is another novel proceeding overturning precedents and setting aside rules of legal proceeding. When before has a person bo n pardoned until he baa been convicted of a crime? The old maxim of the law is that every person is presumed to be innocent until he is proved to be guilty. Mr. Gantt was entitled to the benefit of this presumption, and the only way to remove it was to indict, try and convict him in a competent judicial tribunal. The President, without any indictment, without any trial, without any conviction having been had, presumes him to be guilty, and pardons him! ft is melancholy, the contempt of the powers at Washington for law and all the ferms of law. They seem to proceed upon the hypothesis that the war has abolished them all. V,e suspect that the man Gantt has purchased his pardon by the sale of himself, body and breeches, to abolitionism. We suspect that lie is to be leader of the “one tenth” part of the people of Arkansas in whom the President proposes to invest the polWcal power of tire State. We can account for his pardon in no other way.—Chicago Times. The Chicago Tribune, a first class “loyal" paper, thus attacks Gen. Halleck: The country inquires why it is that Halleck with that cabbage head of his retains his place—why he is not permitted to retire to his ancestral krout gardens on the Mohawk, and there among his kindred find, in the killing of cut worms and the care of his cabbage crop, the employment for which his genius is fitted.

Election of Speaker—How it was Done.—Mr. Colfax (Republican,) of Indiana, was elected yesterday by votes given him by the bayonet alone. Four members from Maryland, one from Delaware, four from Missouri, and three from Kentucky voted for him, who were chosen by the military power exerted directly in their behalf. The Kentucky, Maryland and Missouri Republicans no more represent the people of those States than Louis Napoleon, and, on a fair election, without military interference, would not receive one fifth of the votes. The votes of these districts, if cast in accordance with the wishes of the people, would have beaten Colfax. It is melancholy to think that the American House of Representatives is controlled by the bayonet, and no longer reflects the will of the people. But such is the (act, and (J,is useless to disguise it.—Cin. Enq. A number of journals throughout the country are calling upon tlje coming Congress to raise President Linooln’s salary, forgetting that there is a constitutional provision which forbids any such increase until the expiration of the term of office to which the person interested has been chosen. Constitutional provisions, however, in the language of an eminent civilian do not amount to ‘pig tracks’ in these fast times. So we suppose the Congress that is to sit in December will take this grave matter into consideration.

Tiventv-Sixtli Birth-Day of the STAR PAPER OF AMERICAJANUARY 1, 1864. The New York Mercury, FOR THE COMING YEAR. After more than a quarter of a century of uninterrupted success, The New York ry—standing first on the muster-roll cf the I I Literary Press in this country—points proud- I : ly to its past career as a guarantee of now tri 1 i umphs in the future. Heretofore, it has eclipsed all rivalry; but it. I • proposes to make tha coming year memorable ’ oy eclipsing its own past history, and looming ; up before the world as the most marvelous i specimen of a fascinating, brilliant, amusing, ; and comprehensive Literary Newspaper that . has ever been published in either hemisphere. I I THE GENIWS OF EUROPE • will be laid under contribution to give bril- ; liancy to its columns, and side by side with ; original productions of the most popular romancists of the Old World will be placed the chef d’aeuvres of the most eminent story wri- : ters of the New. MISS M. E. BRADDON, Avthorcssof “Aurora Floyd,” “Ladv Audley’s (Secret, ’“John Marchont’sLe gacy.” etc., etc , | who has suddenly risen, like a ‘Star’ of the , I first magnitude in the literary horizon of i Great Britain, has been specially engaged to ! ’ supply The New York Mercury from time to » ■ time with the wonderful creations of her ge j nius, at a cost which no other weekly in ! America could venture to incur. i Among the multitude of distinguished wii- | ters and artists who have become familiar to i ! the masses through tb e vast circulation of the 1 Star t* eekly of America, may brt mentioned i , the following, all of whom arc sliß upon its | staff: ( ' Ur. J. I{. Robinson, Margaret Blount, Ned' Buntline, Arthur M. Grainger, Grace Gard ! ner, Felix O. C. Darley. Miss M. E. Braddon, Cousin May Carlton, W. O. Eatom, George , Martial. Julia S. Ingraham,Edward Willett, • Mary Chief, George Albany. ; Scores of other distinguished literati, under i various noms de plume, contribute to its col ' urns, while its pictorial illustrations are from the inimitable pencil of Felix O. C. Darley, ; Esq., the best draughtsman of the age. ; The War which has given the coup de grace | to so many pretentious publications, and half i destroyed those that still survive, has ad (led ! thousands to the circulation of T]io New York Mercury. _ lts heart stirring short stories, its military j historiettes, its matchless serial romances, its ( j raev burlesques, its genial wit and humor, its ; ; delicious gossip, its fairy tales for little folks, i I its rare poetry, its fresh and vigorous editorials, 1 the infinite variety of its contents, and the large amount of reading matter it comprises, render it welcome everywhere and to all classes. Containing, as it does, FORTY COLUMNS of closely-printed matter, it may safely be protiounced the cheapest as well as the best Lite rary Newspaper extant. Three favorite writers, Doctor-J. H. Robinson, Cousin May Carlton, and Ned Buntline, are now preparing three stories for The New York Mercury. One of these productions will . be commenced in the Opei ing Number of the New Year. The authors being aware of this ; fact, are engaged in an emulative contest for i precedence, and the result will unquestionably I be that the most effective story ever penned by ( any of the t> ree, will commence in the . NEW YEAR’S NUMBER I the great KtpresentaHue Weekly of the Western 1 World. The New York Mercury is sold by all news- ' I men and periodical dealers in Jmerica.
