The following official decision of the First Comptrolier of the Treasury, the Hon. Elisha Whittlesey, upon the Typographical Society's Proposition to reduce the hours of labor in the Government printing office, will be read with iatereat by the craft in Washington city : Treasury DerantMent, 2 Comptroller's Office, Nov. 28, 1561 5 Joan D. Defries, Esz., Superintendent of Public Printing. Sir: Your favor of the 26th was duly received, anfl I deeply regret ibat i have been so constantly day and night, er subj-cts brought t my attention before your letter was written, that { bave not been permit J to investigate the sub- ject as fully 281 destre ior my own satisfaction, and to avoid doing anvi © to theemployecs in = printing efiice, and to the public grnerally. The proviso in the third section of the joint Trsolution im relation to the public printing, dated June 23, 1-80, is as follows: “Provided, Aowever, That sald Superintendent shall not be allowed credit at the Treasury for payments on account of services rendered in said printing establishment, at higher Prices than those paid for similar Services in the pe printing and Dinding establishments of the city of Washing: ta." Tne basis of prices given to you, is for similar Services in the private establishments in this city. ‘Congress was not, probably, informed that a ma Jority of the bands in the private establishments work by the piece, and not by the week or day. Jn the table you kindly furnished at my request, the whole number of bands employed 1s 114; of wwbom 45 work by the week, and 6 by the piece There is an error in the statement, as the aggre- zat= number is nvt accounted for by 4 The desis given for your government can there- fore avail you nothing, as the act nowhere con- templates that you are to pay by the piece. The object of Congress in passing the act was to have printing executed in better style and at a re- duced price. When it sought economy, the act did not intend to injure nor interfere with the journeyman printers in tbis city; but on the con- thereof, the prices given by private printing establishments was to regulate the prices of the Betional establishment; but the | sb in the pri- —— it toro poor Would be in- regulated or contro! by the work- men in the sana office. ¥ : jumbta Pographical Society is com- amore goer ae by the i ad by the . ing these or many of those who in the national Office. ‘in ~ cffices who work by the week is 48, and ibe number in the national office is 123, and, In- cluding the binding, 151. If their views and are to control the prices, it is submitting totbem bow much they are willing to receive, ‘when the law refers the price to the private print- ing establishments. To those who work by the Piece it is of no concern how much or how Yittie is ae to those who work by the week. ‘be proposition submitted to you by a com- Mittee appointed by the compositors and prena- men of the National Bureau is to reduce the bours of labor from ten to eight bi from the month of October to the month of March. This, in my opinion, you bave not the power to do under the present law. I have r the memo- risl of the committee to you, and deem it to be B able pa if the ‘ks in the public offices, as a general rule, are ae to perform only six hours labor, there are these who laber from eight to twelve hours exclusive of any time for refreshment So ‘with clerks in stores, mechanics in their shops, and various other classesof laborers.

(Signed) Evista W A Cavtion —Editor Star:—As some of the ore recent appointees in the public departments may not be aware of the following provision of an act of February 26, 1853, and a temptation may be presented to some to dabble in such mat- ters, please insert, ac a timely caution, the fol- lowing extract from the law: Sec. 2.

The entire article in the Journal was 2 misrepresentation of the speech, sent by some Person without the knowledge of Mr. Prentice. Secretary Cameron’s opinion upon the subject are the same as those in bis instructions to Generals Butier and Sherman, and it is under- stood that they will be reiterated in bis annual Teport to the President. Carrege ov 4 Prizz Scuoonzn.—Authentic infermation hes been received here that a small light-draft Canadian steamer has been seized off the coastof Maine by a United States revenue cutter. The steamer had on board about ten thous- and Springfield muskets, cloghing, boots, bank- note paper, caps, and the cargo was censigned to parties in the Southern States. Taz Paivatsxx Sumrer —[he latest official intelligence, concerning the whereabouts of the Privateer Sumter is from the Consul at Parama- aibe, Dutch Guiana, in a letter dated Oct. 17th.

We bear on the avenue that orders have gone North, from the State Department, for the release of the Hon. Wm M. Gwin, ex Senator from Cal- ifornia, and Messrs. Calhoun Benham, and J. L. Brent, both also of California, all of whom it will be remembered, were originally arrested by Gen. Sumner at I'snama. We have every reason to place entire confi- dence in the statement, and are gratified at being able to say #0. It is understood that nothing material was found against either of these genti¢men, though ail of them are believed to be opposed to the further prosecution of the war for the restora- | tlon of the Unton. The conditior annexed to their release is, we tnke It for granted, the usual one—that they shall give their parole not to do any act whatever in hostility to the Government's authority and wer measures In Mr Gwin’s case, we presume he hes also | been required to abstain from going into secessia, where he proposed to take up his residence before the current troubles broke ont ARTILLERY POSTS HEADQUARTERS OF THR ARMY, ADLOTAYT GENERAL’s OFFICE, Washington, Nov, 27th, 1561 SrreiaL Orpen, No. 315.—The following posts sre designated as headquarters of the several regiments of artillery, at which the colonels, ed- jutants and sergeant-majors of each will be sta- tioned : Ast Artullery—Colonel Dimmick, Fort Warren, Boston harbor. 2d Artillery—Col. Morris, Fort McHenry, Bal. timore 3d drtillery—Col. Yates, Fort Trumbull, New London. 4th Artitlery—Col ton, Maryland. Sth Artitlery—Colonel Btown, Fort Pickens, Pensacola. By command of Majcr Gen. Geo. B. McClellan L. Tuomas, Adjutant General. FORT PULASKI. ia view of the fact that Brigadier Gen. Mans- field planned and constructed Fort Pulaski, and is more fomiltar with the country from Tybee Island to Savannah than any other officer in the service, would it not be well for the War Depart- ment to assign him to the command of our mil!- tary operations tn that immediate vicinity? Lt. Colonel Alexander, U.S Engineers, next to Gen. Manstield, is perhaps most familiar with that re- gion, having been lorg employed, professionally, upon the completion of Fort Pulaski and the other U.S. military works about it, we bear n- Merchant, Fort Washing cidentally. It is bardly to be doubted that the presence of ong or the other of these distinguished officers there at the current juncture would be of immense advantage in the prosecution of the military operations which are about to take place there EX-SENATOR GRERN Among the men of note who have flocked hither to be present at the opening of Congress is ex-Senator James Green, of Mo., who has been in custody more than once of late under cherges of complicity with the rebellion. Not knowing how he stands affected towards the Un‘on cause at this time, we may not improperly express the hope that the sound Union sentiment by which he now finds himself surrounded, will speedily awaken him to the realization of the fact that he may safely give evidence of his hearty concur- rence in the good cause, without fear of let or hindrance. The present is a state of things in which all who are not emphatically and unre- Servedly for the Union, may prudently be set down as against it. | THEIR NAMES. The following are the names of the new screw (fast) sloops of war now being built for the U. 8. Navy. Viz:—Shenandoah, Sacramento, Canan- daigua, Lackawana, Monongahela, and Ticon- deroga. The names of the new naval side-wheel steam ers now being constructed are—Viz: The Tloga- Genessee, Paul Jones, Conemaugh, Port Royal Sonora and Cimerone. The screw steamers are each to carry three of Dahlgren’s largest (11-inch) guns, one of which is to be a 150-pound rified gun ‘The side-wheel steamers are to carry each 80- pounder rifies and a pivot gun.

They had then been in the service but 2 month and a balf, and of course had but that time’s pay coming to them. On the next day they sent home to their families and dependent friends, (of course mostly through Adama & Co.’s Ex- press,) an aggregate of $9,000! THE EASTERN SHORE. We bave informa tion from Accomac and North- ampton counties, Va., up to Thursday afternoon last, when everything was quiet and progressing satisfactorily. Our troops are occupying impo-- tant polats, in both counties, and there is no such thing as rebel opposition left there now. THE ARMS, ETC., CAPTURED. Up to latest dates from the Eastern Shore of Virginia, General Lockwood’s expedition had captured ten cannon and a thousand stand of smail arms, besides scattering and disbanding all the organized bands of rebels in the two counties of Accomac and Northampton.

How long the contest wi. last noone can tell, but, when it ie announced that there is a cessation of hostilities, we hope to be able to announce that the Gn of the Confeder- ates floats in triumph from the walls of Fort Pickens.’ STILL LATER—AFFAIRS AT PENSACOLA. The Richmond Dispatch says: An official dispatch received on Tuesday tiight from Gen. Bragg states that everything is quiet about Pensacola, and that the Federal fieet keeps at a safe distance from bis guns. He is fully pre- pated fot a renewal of the ight. We have every confidence that Bragg will give Harvey Brown and bis officers “more grape’’ than tLey can com- fortably digest. There was a rumor that the navy-yard had been destroyed by fire, that it could be traced to no re- liable source. The government had not received any information to that effect, but upon the con- trary had received the most gratifying fteporte fom the Confederate forces. Thete is 2 rumor that Gen Bragg made a land attacked on Santa Rosa Island, in which the Con- federates were repulted and Gen. Bragg killed. This, bowever, must certairily be tncotrect. [Prom the Richmond Dispatch ) COMMODOR® TATTNALL ATTACKS THE FEDERAL FLERT IN COCKSPUR ROADS —THE YANKEES IN POSSESSION OF WARSAW. Savannan, Nov 27.~Commodore Tattnall, with three small steamers and one gunboat, at- tacked the Federal fleet in Cockspur Roads yer- terday. The engagement lasted one hour, and from 40 to 50 shots were exchanged. No Person was injured on our side. The effect of the firing on the enemy is unknown. Failing to draw the fleet under the gune of Fort Pulaski, Commodote Tattnall withdrew. There ere now six large vessels inside the bar, and one large frigate was towed over yesterday afternoon. The enemy bas pickets ell around Tybee Island, as far as King’s landing it is reported that the Yankees have taken pos- session of Warsaw, and that they ere preparing to attack Fort Pulaskl. LATEST FROM SOUTH CAROLINA Aveusta, Nov. 26 —The Charleston Courter, of this morning, that two Yankce gunboats had landed troo, Buckingbam. This js on the mainland. Our forces made a forward move- ment. Gen. Lee has issued orders that no one shail leave Charleston without a permit. The greatest activity prevails in army movements. and Gen. Lee will dispute every inch of ground with a courage and desperation which will teach the Yankees a severe lesson. They will not be allowed to gain a permanent foothold on the main- land of South Carolina. SuizcRE OF CONTRABAND ARTICLES.—On Sat- urday last a posse of police’ officers visited the steamer George Weems, at the foot of Frederick- street dock, and proceeded in the steamer as far as Fort McHenry, where the boat was ordered to lay to, while the officers searched several en- ers.
