The Chronicle notices in brief some of the so- cial, political and commercial changes which the war has effected on the American people. — S7 The trial of Superintendent Kennedy for the arrest of Mrs. Brirsmade was concluded yesterday, and the Police Commis<ioners will render their decision in a few days. At the conclusion of the testimony, Mr. Dean, as counsel for the defence, submitted a number of points for the consideration of the Commis- sioners, among them that “the arrest of Mrs. Brin«made was made in the city of Washing- ton, not within the jurisdiction of Mr. Kennedy, ut within the jurisdiction of Provost Marshal Baker, of the War Department;” that « Baker held her in custody, decided how to dispose of her, and sent her us a prisoner to New York to Mr. Kennedy in pursuance of that decision; that “she was arrested by order of the War Department;” and that “during all the time of her illegal imprisonment, was a prisoner held by order of 4 person holding his appointment and office fron? the War and not from the Police Department.” &7 The follo s from the southern PApers poseesses its usual interest: The Geor- gia journals compiain of the rascality of the ~ we —nsiom awe? whe follow the rearof the army, cueaung une troupe mar Teecye MeTSpeL way. Sogreatis the need for shoes that the quertermaster general at Columbus, Ga., has issued an official order offering a premium upon tenning hides of the beeves consumed by his department. He says :—« The soldier must be clothed; my orders are te do it; and with ample pewer I shall exercise them in every way to carry out those orders, even if I have to resort to the disagreeable duty of impresement.” So great is the want of blankets, also, that gifts of carpeting are urgently solicited tu supply their Pisce, S7 Reports from Tennessee state that thyre ic little probability of a great battle in the central portion of the State, owing tovhe recent movements of the enemy. Conside>-ble bodies of cavalry hover about our front, bot “hey are betoming more cautious. The distripution of tae Rebel troops is said to be as fellows: 16,000 31 Murfreesboro’, commanded by Breckinridge, Cheatham, and Withers; Backner's corps is at Normaatiy; Hardee and Poik are posted from Tullahema to Winchester, and partof Kirby Smith's army has joined Bragg. Gen. Negley estumate the Rebel forecs in Middle Tennessee Bt HO. 87 Gov. Morton, of Indiana, has addressed & circular to each of the regiments from that State, requesting them to send their regimental colors home for the purpose of having the encazements in which they participated in- scribed on them. They sre also requested to forward their colors worn out in fhe sery be pinced among the archives of the State. 7 lotelligence fromthe command of General FPlunt, as Inte as November 11, left it pushing op South toward Fayetteville, Ark., in pursuit of General Cooper, and to take possession of the Indian country, Colonel Phillips having been sent into that district to test the practibili- ty of occupying it and holding it with the In- Gina brigade. ©7Gen. Rosecrans has issued an order re- Questing the attendance at masson every Wed- nevday of all Roman Catholics connected with his staff, escort and attendants. The Catholic Bi-hop of Huntsville, Alabama, is among the gvests of Gen. Rosecrans, and proposes re- maining with hima until he reaches Huntsville. 7 By an arrival! at Old Point from North Carolina, we learn that the Rebels on Tuesday la-t, with a force of four thousand men, made &p attack en Newbern. They were easily re- Pulsed. Desertions trom the Rebels are nume- Yous. Fifteen in a body came into Newbern revently. ee ee eee &7 Gen.

Generals tal me is true, and I doubt them not, the mistake of this campaign, thus far, hasbeen in not having the pontoon train on the ground last week-‘Fueeday—-the day Gen Sumner’s advance reached Falmouth. It could then have | been thrown over the river at the most ible } point, and encountered thé fire of but a Jection of rebel artillery. Now the shot and shell of 2 hundred guns will, perhaps, blaze away u) it ns itis being thrown across the river) The | error should not be set down against Gen. Burnside. He ——— it should be here upen the arrival oj n. Sumuer. ‘ iter the. pontoon train, came that magnifi- cent reserve artillery, composed of sixty pieces of heaviest Id caliber, which we heard so much about on the Peninsula, but which did so little execution. It has been well named re- serve sriillery. It has never won any better tide. But she fact that as I was riding my horse to the rear of the army this afternoon, these ten batteries were going fo the fromt, apparently in support of the pontoon train, is sufficient to satisfy me that n the next engagement Gen. Burnside is determined that it shall play the part of reserve no longer, but tryits mettle (and metal) with the best of the Rebel artillery. Correspondence of the New York World.) Urcceree FREDERICKESRURG, Va.. Monday noon, Noy. 23.—The busy hours of preparation ure coming rapidly to a close, and the time of action is ¢lose upon as. To throw this immense anny across the Rappahannock in the face of | ‘an encmy intrenched upon hilis most admirably adapted for defense, and to drive them success. fully from their position, is one of the difficult problems which only a great general can solve. The point now spoken of for crossing is Port Conway, opposite Peri Royal, at least twenty miles down the Rappahannock. That thereis | something in this stray rumor I have but little doubt. Whatever the moyenent, afew days will develop the whole of it. In that vicinity the country is very different. There no posi- tions are to be stormed, and we can easily move upon the flank or rear of the enemy. Itis whispered that the gunboats, of which the Rebels haveso wholesome a fear, will come | up to assist us at that point, in which case no denger of a Ball's Binff disaster need be appre- hended. We have been straining our eyes ever: morning and southward to see ifthdse black | smoke-sitacks could be discovered upon the river. This would end our own solicitude for | the capture of Fredericksburg, and begin the anxiety of the Rebels. ST.PAUL'S LUTHERAN CHURCH, (Rev.
