i THE EVENING STAR. | WASHINGTON OITY: | scnmens . DECEMBER 3, 1982. <Q BEADING MATTER ON BVBRY PAGE. gaz OUTSIDE FOR INTBRESTING TELE. @RAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. ; SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. ‘The Intelligencer says of the President's mes- eage : «We cannot omit to state, however, that the document, in the ‘usal we have been ve it, has upon our minds no pao ak taveranie: unpreeston, especially if regard be bad to the spirit and temper in which it is conceived, and in shhenp: suapeate it is safe to say that the Wag, a by t oe eoran , ust equal! jisappoint the wishes And the fears that have entertained by dif- ferent classes of citizens in advance of its pub- lication.” ‘The Republican explains ite non-or-to-Rick- mond article of yesterday, and says: “But since we have entered upon explans-, tions, we may as well state, that underlying all of our other reasons for pe per ye an advance at this time, ie our want of faith in the leader- ship of our armies in the East.” ut, eays the Repudlican, “in the Southwest & great military genius has finshed upon the theater of war, and lighted up, with ite scintil- Istion, the gloom which haa e where else bung heavily as the night over the Union cause. The Government has wisely listened to our suggestions,” &c., &c. f And now, can the reader guess who is this great military genius who is flashing and scin- tillating argound in the Southwest? Why— General Grant! The Chronicle, upon the President's mescage, thanks God that he continues to adhere to the pledges of his emancipation policy of the 2d of September. @7 The Navy Department has information that the pirate Alabama was expected in the vicinity of the Azores early in November. She was to receive supplies, ammunition and sea- men, from the steamer Bahama. The Turkish steamer Shasigest was taking dispatches to that piace for Capt. Semmes. Several United States vessels were in that neighborhood. This ap- pears te be the only information concerning this dangerous versel which we haye had for some time. | Star's columns prevents us from reviewing the President's meesage in a manner doing justice to so important a paper. So we prefer at pres- ent to postpone attempting so to do. ‘The render will find in our columns to-day, Shstracts of some of the Department Reports, and others-will follow as we find room. 2 The Grenada Appeal of the 2ist urges the Mi-sissippi authorities to compel the negroes to go to work immrdiately on the fortifications, as they are doing in Georgia. In that State, one- tenth of the negro population, between the ages of fifteen and fifty, have been called out, and one million of dollars appropriated. S7 In Arkansas, the Confidvrates not only burned all old cotton, but are now burning the new.

We tive Neu Tea tions of our former statement that communi cations looking to an “adjustment” have ed between leading Democrats here and toad. ing Rebels at Richmond; the only material | correction of our former statement insisted on | implies that the negotiations were opened through a Unionist from Maryland, and | mot emmissary clandestinely sent from this city. But that one or more of our Democratic magnates haye thereupon visited Baktimore and Washington in order to take @weet counsel with persons there who are in full communication with Jeff Davis & Co.,and Teeeive confidential advice from Richmoad al- | most daily, we undoubtedly believe. The Sunday Mercury has a Washington dispatch dated Saturday night, which says: “It is currently reported here that peace have been made by the Rebel Gov- ernme nt to ours, as they fear the shock of the bags mig have in the field, ubout to move upon m from every quarwr. They also fear the Emancipation Proclamation. ‘The terms of peace are said to be: “1. The old Union and the old Constitution. The Critlenden Comenets The assumption of the Southern Debt.

Any trade with blockaded porte requires careful reculationto prevent complication with eign wer. “Tee Tanepactalions of smtler’s @upplies in qvartermaster’s conveyances is prohibited by | Iaw. Hence it has been necessary for ~ntlers to procure clearances from the custom's de- partment for vessels transporting their supplie- to certain ports, which ar yranted only on cer tificate that (he supplies are needed for thy army. The privilege has been much abused, and the Government has determined to grant sach elearances bereaiter onl) under strict regula tions, which will @nable it to prevent illegal trade, smuggling of liquors and other merchin. div, in which the law prohibits trade tosuilers. For the present the Ianding space and facili ties at Aquia Creek are all needed for the land- | ing of the regular supplirs of the Commissary’s | and Quartermaster’s Departments. Tie chan- . nels are shallow and yarrow, and there is no roem for other than the Department vessels to approach the landing. It is unfair togrant a permit toonecutlerand | refuse it to another; and as there are probably one hundred sutlers desiring such permits. the | interference their veseels would causé¢ with the regular supply of provisions and forage, &c., by the Department at this contrasted aud dir- ficult landing may be conceived. Assoon asit is poseible to permit sucler'’s veegela to go to that place without intering with the regular supply of the army permits will be granted, but in the meantime the public inter- eets—the speedy victualling and providing of the army—mu-t take precedence of all other claims THE DELAY OF THE TRAIN, We hear that the War Department has canged ' ehe arrest of Major Spaulding, of the 59th New York (engineer) volunteers, and the other of. cers who were with him in the recent trana- portation of the pontoon train from this point to Falmouth, Va.
