NING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: | WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 3, 1563. The Inisiligencer notices the + vident tendency of the American Pree« and American people to go alway: to extremes in paseing judzment upoa public men. This feature applies not only to civilians but alse te military men, and «nothing perhaps is more unqualified thsn the ensure which they visit on t be personal and military character of particular Generals, ex- cept it be the unqualified praise which they lavish on anotber set of officers.” The Repudlicas continnes to opposé an ad- ance of the Army of the Potomac. Commenting upon the President's message, Repudlicon thinks the emancipation pro- ca is to slow. As slavehoiders are to be compensated, freedom should be given the bondmen at once, and the North should help to furnish the money to pay for these slaves. The Chromicie has articles complimentary of the reports submitted by heads of departments. OUR MILITARY BUDGEF. _——— THE RECKNT BXPEDITION TO MATTHEWS COUNTY, VIRGINIA. Meso Fa REBEL VESSELS AND SAL?
