DBEW ......Asbociat BMToa THe Mason-snneii Cist. By the arrival of the Africa, we have foreign papers containing articles upon the question of the seizure of Slidell and MaEon, although the news of their capture had not reached England when the Africa sailed. The discussion arose from the fact that the James Adger, an American steamer, was reported to be in seafrh of Slidell and Mason, and rumors were afloat that the Adger intended to take thein forcibly from the British mail steamer. We make the following extract from an article on the subject referred to, from the Edinburg Scotsman : It has been ascertained to be the opinion of the Una officers of the Crown that, accordinn to Ihe interpretation of the law, u laid down in former decisions, the relations of Lrtiatn to tlie American belligerents art, perhaps, such that thtre might have been fair It gal grounds for the American cruiser seixMM the mail steamer as a prize, even in British waters, if it could have been shown that she knowingly harbored the persons anil property of enemies of the United Stales, in the shape of the deuyatcs and thetr despatches. Although it was not at all evident that the Jaruca Adger was in search of Slidel and Mason, yet the zeal of the rebel agents in bringing her case before the authorities has had the effect of prejudging that of the Trent, and binding the British law officers by their own declarations. The paragraph quoted from the Scotsman, settles the case of the Trent in our favor. The Captain of the Trent could not plead ignorance of the cbaracU of Slid-11 and Mason, when he took them on board. They were the ob ject of peblic ovation in Havana, and their character was well known. The message of Jtff. Davis settles the point as to their official capacity, and thns the last doubtful poiot as to the legality of their capture is wept away. The English newspapers, however, Will make a great Bh'ow of indignation over the affair, and by the ueit steamer we shall have the news of what was said and done in England, when the lacl transpired that Mason and Slidell had really been taken by force from a British mail steamer. Ilalleck's Programme. A Sedalia correspondent of the Burlington Hawk-Eye has it from " reliable authority," that General Halleck will soon make a move in the right direction. He says it has been ascertained to a certainty that Price is at Osceola, on the Osage, and is so situated that he will be compelled to fight. ne then gives the programme, which, for the benefit of the speculative, we copy entire: ''The whole division of this department will move upon him from five different points at the same time. Hunter, with his division from the West, to prevent a possibility of his going into Kansas, and thW prevent his devastating that State or escaping in that direction. Generals Wjman and Asboth, from Rolla, will proceed by way of Springfield or Bolivar, to prevent his retreating South. General Pope, from Syracuse, will go by way of Warsaw, and General Steele's division from Sedalia. These different divisions will constitute n force of about 50,000 men, with about 4,000 cavalry and two or three powerful batteries. With this programme well executed, it will be miracle if.he should escape. As to numbers the two armies will probably be nbout equally matched." Tb'rs is all very nice on the part af correspondent eforesaid; but the etory is one of that class that sailors insist should be "fold to marines." The people are heartily si. k of listening to the very wonderful things our great Generals are going to do. They ean't avoid seeing what they don't do The past casts shadow of doubt over the future. General Price, according to this sagacious correspondent, is encamped at Osceola. Five divisions of otr army are to march on hira from five different points, and he oaa't escape. The whole mnmber of both armies aro estimated to bo about equal. General Prire'6 army is consolidated while ours is to be Jt np into fire parte, so as to afford the rebel General an opport unity to overpower tbem in detail. Gen. Hclleck's experience la not likely to induce him to commit each a blunder as that. But Price is in oo danger. Mis road to retreat is always open. Our troops would have near double the distance to march from Rolla to Springfield, that would have t be passed over by the rebels, and consequently the lltr could reach that place in advance of the federal, in spite of ail they could do. it is all folly to taik about any more campaigns in MiwK.uri this wiuter. The troops must go i'j'o vrinter quarters, if they are not all to be cVeiroved by dise-we, as jave many alteudy. Our information from Missouri is, that 'hey are preparing winter

quarters. Gen. Price will also, we presume, stop operations for the winter ; and, as be has the State to select from, choose some healthy locality for his army to build bute.

Ij AST NIGHT'S MAIL. A private letter from on board one of the vessels engaged in the fight at Fort Picken3, dated Nov. 26th, states that the fight was commenced by the steamer Vermont, at 10 o'clock on the 23d. She suffered badiy, one shell passing through her bulwaiks and ex ploding, killing the captain of one of the g'las and wonnding six men, and lifting the vessel almost out of the water. At that date Fort Pickens ha 1 lost one man killed and seven wounded. From Kentucky we learn that Generals Rousseau, Negley, and Johnson's brigades had crossed .Green river via Mumfonlsville. There is likely to be warm work in Kentuaky soon. Nine of the Indiana regiments are ordered to hold themselves in readiness for marching orders, and several will start this week. The 11th Michigan Regiment, 1,200 strong, passed through Indianapolis on Tuesday night for Keutucky. Second Lieut. Lorin G. Wood, of Ihe 17th Indiana regiment, having absented himself without proper authority, is mustered out of service, by order of Gen. Buell. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Enqnirer thinks Zollicoffer will soon find himself in an exceedingly tight place. Already he says " a federal force of 15,000 13 in his rear, and his capture is inevitable." The correspondent draws largely on Ii Is im agination. Gen. Scboepff was being re-in-forced, and would not fall back any further than Stanford. Another correspondent of that paper, thinks General Buell is not very popular with the Colonels, and even with the Division commanders. He refuses to hear the complaints of the Colonels, and will not consult with the Generals. All he requires of them is to obey bis commands and execute his orders. His plans and in tentions are known only to himself. The same correspondent says, "intelligence has been received hero that Captain McGowan's Kentucky Company of Cavalry, connected with Colonel Jackson's Regiment, were sent out on a scouting expedition from Ohiimbersbarg and has never been heard from since. The Captain has quietly crossed over with all of his horses, trap.?, Ac, and joined the Confederate Army.'' We doi.V believe a word of it. Jackson's theu are not of that, stripe. 1 tickjr Items. We fiiiti tiss following piragrapb.3 in the Louisville papers, of WedncHsy evening: The-Nashville-Loulsville Courier shvs that a party of Federal troops from PadnI t n . . . . . , rm cttQ an(1 amuniana, came up mo uuraoerinuu a lew ubjb since uu loun. (u.ckjei'.ju of four hundred and eighty beef belonging to the rebels in Caldwell county. The Fortv-niuth Indiana regiment, en camped near Jeffersonville, has been ordered into Kentucky, and will arrive in this city to-day. A telegraphic despatch says that Colo nel Garrard wrote from London, Ky., 00 Saturday afternoon that Gen. George B. Crittenden is at Cumlierland Gap with a large force, and 5,000 men at Morristown, coniing on to join him. He says that Crit tenden has thirty days rations, and will, he fears, invade us from that point. The Tennessee Brigade and Col. Garrard's regiment having gone to Somerset, there are, at this time, no troops to check Crittenden. Moving. A train of loaded army wag on, a mile nnct a nan in lengm, pneseii through the eity this morning. The tegimenta to which they belong had gone for ward, with the exception of a nutnher suffi cient to strike tents and pack up. Thi gives evidence of work. Srubnadb. We are indebted to the band I of tho 15th Indiana regiment, in charge of Prof. G. W. Warren, for a serenade last ey ing, lne crowded state ot our columns forbids snch a notice as the honor deserves. Long life to the gallant 15th and its band. Lou. Democrat, lOiA The Bank of Louisville has declined to answer the call for a loan to the Military Uoard. It the banks ot this (Jommouwealth, created by the Legislature with certain valuable privileges, in a crisis like this, withhold their quota of funds, as a means of crippling the actions of the State, we trust the Legislature in its wisdom will adopt such action as will speedily ascertain the reason why. If the sympathies of the director? in this bank are so completely enlisted in the cause of the enemy that they fatl to respond to the call of the Military Board, it should be known at once. Or, it may be, that through bad management the bank is uuablo to respond to the call. In either case, a searching inquiry should be instituted by the Legislature, and the facts made known. Louisville Democrat. FoBTiiMOATiow or Nahvili,e. We learn on very good authority that the rebels commenced the work of fortifying Nashville about ten days ago. We presume that Geu. Buell is aware of this fact, and is taking his measures accordingly. Arrived. The First Regiment of Ohio Cavalry, Col. Rawson, arrived this morning on the steamers Izetta, Lady Jackson, and Great Western. They are well armed and equipped. The Eleventh Regiment Michigan Infantry, with a cavalry company attached, under command of Colouel May, arrived by the Jefferson rilte Railroad, and marched through the city to Oakland, where they camp until the cavalry ran be supplied with saddles, bridles, and arms. The Forty-Ninth Reg mien t Indiana Infantry, Colouel Ray, came over from Camp Joe Holt, and have gone on to tho wars. Tho Thirteenth Ohio, Col. Smith, also came over from the Indiana shore, and marched through the city. Outraok in OBrrnmai County. We learn, through a gentleman who has just arrived from Crittenden county, of an outrage committed one day last week in that county. A party of rubels undertook to arrest a Union man ou account of his senti. meaus, and in the attempt one of the crowd vac shot, aad the Unionist escaped. That night, or she n xt, a party of rebels went to the house of Mr. S. Scott, a very old man, aud dragging him from his bed and the bouse, riddled biiu with balls, killlog bim insMntly. Tbey then proceeded iO the bouse of Mr. Cannon, and in a situi-

lar manner shot and killed him. The only j Startling Development An Abolition crime of these two men was, that they Club in the City, were devoted to the Union ot ibeir fathers, From the New Orleans Crescent, of the and the crirna oi' the first, whose arrest was 23d ult., we take the following: attempted, was of the same character. Yesterdny morning, Lieut. Morel, of the That portion of the S'ate lying west of ! third district police, upon information reHcnderson and ea?t of Smithland is infest- j ceived, arrested a German named Frenzel, ed with a set of Bcooadreta who are taking j who lives on Cbarles street, in the second

every occasio appears to us t should take pc mmit ravages, and it military authorities ! j of all that country j immediately. In this connection we call the attention of General Bat 11 to the fol lowing statement from an eye witness, and we would further state, that if the outrages ! committed were by the residents of that county only, and not by rebel forces sent from Buelmr's army, the Union men wonld possibly be able to protect themselves. Odds nnd JSnds. Sixty thousand pounds of ginseng have been purchased by the dealers in the arti- j cle at St. Peter?, Minnesota, during the , past season. Rev. Petor Cartwright, in a recent camp sermon to Col. Updegraff's regiment, declares he -will fiht the rebels to death, if for no other reason than for breaking up the Democratic party." The felt army Iiat3 arc out of favor. They are soon to be discarded for a more becoming article. The Charleston Mercury reviews the Slidell and Mason seizure, and thinks that if Great Britain is hard up for cotton, that it will be glad of making the "outrage" a pretext for declaring war against the United States. Gen. Tom Thumb visiled the estate of Mr. Ira Matthew, on the Kalamazo, last week, and indulged in a hunting expedition. The little fellow shot a deer, whose length, when measured, proved to bo six feet one inch, girth three feet nine inches, and his antlers twenty two inches in length; weight about 142 pounds. A fine specimen of those denizens of the forest. We have already stated that a young "lady " belonging to SiidcU's party slapped Lieutenant Fairfax on the face when he no tified the "Embassador" of his arrest. We learn from the account of an eye witness, furnished to the Panama Star, that the ferocious female alluded to was Slidell's daughter, aud that not content with pitching into the Lieutenant, she melodramatically bared hur breast and bade him strike her dead. The Board of Delegates of American Israelites coiqposed of representatives from th principal congregations in the United States were in session in New York last week, and adopted a memorial to Congress to rescind the clause making it necessary for all army chaplains to be "ordained Christain ministers." The number of Jews in the army of the I'otomic alone is stated at 8,000. L Tub Iitov Rule.

The bustle and activity continues 00 Long wlinrf, Huston, in connection with the forwarding or SOppUeS for General Butler's expedition. Immense piles of hard wood, large quantities of lumber ot all varieties, and many thousand of brick, show thnt our soliii nra are to be provided with substantial r.tructtues on the rebel coast, and be comfortably warmed. The ships Georgo Green, Idaho, and Bullion aro rapidly filling with these materials and with provisions, small steam engines being used to facilitate the loading of each vessel. They will be ready to sail in a few days. Proposed Remodelino of Italy. It is said that the project of the new Italian Confederation proposes a Northern kingdom, with Victor Emanuel at its head; a Papal State, including Umbria and the Marches, and a Neapolitan kingdom under Francis II. Venice would be given to the Northern kingdom. The great obstacle to the realization of this plan is Baron Ricasoli ; but every kind of intrigue was at work to displace hira. The financial condition of France was still very precarious, and M. Fould was exercising all his ingenuity in order to lay the basis of a new budget. The Defender of Port Royal Aukested. A letter addressed to a Georgia officer from his sister iu South Carolina was captured in Virginia a few days ago. The fair writer ii very much enraged at the capture of Port Royal and Beaufort, and ays many of the wealthy families of the latter place are now ruined, and are hiring houses in Charleston for 512 per month. She says Gen. Drayton, who commanded the South Carolina forces at Port Royal, has been arrested as a traitor, because be ordered a retreat before there was any necessity, as they had time to save everything; instead of which they retreated with such precipitation as to leave their arras behind. The officers even left their swords. Fatal Accident. We learn from the Elizabethtown (Ky.) Zouave Gazette that on Tuesday, during the march of the let Wisconsin regiment from West Point to that place, a young man named Fisher, belonging to the ragimenr, was accidently sboL Wiih several others, he wns trying to get a drink from a small run of water, when a gun iu the hands ot another soldier accidentally exploded. The ball entering through the jaw, came out at the eye. The poor fellow lived but a short time. Louisville Journal. Fue&iont's Hundred Days in Missouri. The January number ot the Atlantic Moutlilv will contaiu the first of a series of articles by an officer of General Fremont's staff, (Major Dorsheimer, whose admirable papers on Aaron Burr and Jefferson in the Atlantic Monthly will be remembered,) describing all the memorable incidents of the campaign in Missouri, wi h much important matter not yet revealed to the country. Gen. Fremont's proposed plan of operations, had he retained t tie command will also be given by his companion in arms, who has eoBseated to become the historian of those events about which we know so little at present. Much personal matter touching the General will find appropriate place in Major Dorsheimer's series of Atlantic papers. Aew York Post. The Grand Akmy of the Urion.

district, charging hira with being an incen-

diary and traitor to the State and Southern Confederacy. It appears that F., who is qnite an intelligent man, had excited Lieut. Morel's suspicion some timo since, by re marks that he was reported to have made in favor of Lincoln and hi3 dynasty; he was watched ; the result of which was that he was heard to boast that there was a powerful organization in this city at least 5,000 strong which, the moment the Lincoln army mad its appearance here on oar coast, would rise and help them to the best of ttieir ability. He further is reported to hsve said that , 1? society wonld help cut all the rebels'! hi? society wonld heir throats ; and that, as no one knew or expected its existence, it was all tho more powerful. Faou Cairo The St. Louis Democrat of yesterday, contains the following dispatch : Catro, Dec. 11. A sqnad of caTalry, under command of Major J. S. Mudd, and two companies of infantry, under command of LienL Colonel Rhodes, were sent ont in pursuit of Jeff. Thompson's aboriginese, and overhauled them at Bertrand station, on the Charleston road. Our forces took sixteen prisoners, and a lot of horses and firearms. We lost only one man. We were unable to learn the amount of their loss, if any. The gunboat Benton has been got off, and is on the way here. The steamer Montgomery strnck a snag at the bead of Devil's Island, and sunk, and afterwards broke in two. 160-Our advices from Frankfort this morniuir seem to leave no doubt that Zolli coffer has crossed the Cumberland river, and an engagement with the Union troops, near Somerset, was expected yesterday. Gen. Bhoepff's force consisted of six regiments and two batteries, including three Ohio regiments. Nine thousand is the minimum estimate of the enemy's strength, and the highest figure i3 fifteen thousand. .That is too bad. But the opinion prevails at Frankfort that Gen. Schoepff will maintain his ground. CXn. Gas. Kentucky Cotjhsel to ths LooisviLta Journal. The Frankfort Commonwealth says : The editor of tbe Louisville Journal seems to bava argued himself into a perfect frenzy over the President's message, but, so far as we can learn, his diatribes have bad no effect upon any one else. He commenced his lectures upon a telegraphic mistake, but he is so excited and elated over bis wonderful articles that he has not had time to discover bis mistake; ana, propably, if he should discover it, making the proper correction would be too humiliating at this time, before the ink in which his denunciations are recorded is dry. We think he had bettor go ahead, and not stop this side of the Confederate lines. ———<>——— HOME INTERESTS. ——— WANTED.
