WASHINGTON OITY: SATURDAY........ DECEMBER 27, 186u. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer thinks the controlling facts oft the late military situation created at Pred erick-burg relate to three principal considers- How much of the late military disaster ue toa delay in the arrival of the pontoon at Falmouth, and who was responsibir r delay ! * a’ Under what circumstances was the at- & precipitated upon the enemy's works? vd. Were there any ‘combinations’ made with > view of facilitating thy approach to Kichmond by the way of Fredericksburg I” The Intelligencer concludes that the whole biunder of the firat point arose from the want of Qu eract understanding between Gen. Burnsiie anc Gen. Halléck as to the manner in which the “detaale” of unis transaction should be elfected. «Fither Gen. Halleck was not ery lucid in explaining to Gen. Buruside the full measure « thir (Gen. B.*#) responsibility, or Gen. Burn- side was not very quick in apprehending the patare of the military relations into which he hud been suddenly and reluctantly thrust. And vo it came to pass between them that the pivot ot the whole movement was left out of its socket.” in relation to the second point, the Intelli- qencer thinks Gen. Burnside should not have made the crossing after he found that his main reason for crossing there (“because the enemy did ndt expect us to cross here, but lower down,”) was superyened by the non-arrival of the pontoons, and the massing of the enemy on the opposite side.- On the third poiat “it appears that no ‘com- binations’ were formed in operation with the ‘dvance on Richmond by way of Fredericks- burg, on the contrary, Gen. Hooker testifies ‘Uhat one of the plainest devices to this effect was neglected. The Intelligencer apprehends that it was in errorin cupposing that it was a part of Gen. Haileck’s functions to devise “military combi- nations” in the conduct of ths war, and to direct the general movements of the Army of the Potomac. ‘en. Halleck, as General-in-Chief, bas formed no ‘piaas’ of campaign in Virginia, Aad has ziven no ‘orders’ to Gen. Burnside.” ‘The Intelligencer concludes by saying: «But, if Gen. Burnside is to devise all tha military combinations thatare formed for the capture of Richmond, and is not te depend on the “authoritics at Washington” for the execu- tiop of any “orders” he may wish to have filled, it would be a matter of curious interest tolearn the precise duties with which Gen. Halleck is cba) as the nominal General-in-Chief of the whole army of the United States. For we must presume that all other commanders in military cepartments more remote from Wash- ington are equally left to their own volitions. Whe it is that gives ensemble to the operatior spreading over so wide 4 field, or whether there be any such ensemble, it is left for the Public to conjecture.” The Chromicle treats upon patience.” The Republican argues that the only way to end the rebellion t* to crush the slaveholders “by liberating their -Iayes, and by a jacqueric among the whites. We must carry revolution inte the yery bosom of Southern society. We must confront reyolmtion by revolution, fire by fire. Nothing short of this will save us, and if we hesitate much longer we are lost. That lullaby of knaves and fools, ‘Ae Union as if was, has outraged the common sense of the country jongenongh. The Union, as it was, is buried in s¢raye from which there is no resurrection. No Union is now possible, except of free States.” “Popular Im- ~+ecee ®#7 A lady, who recently passed into the Federal Naee from Vicksburg, states that the Rebele are still busy fortifying the place, and have already planted about two hundred guns, including thoce in the battery, and in fortifica- tions extending eight miles back, nearly to the Yazoo river. Six thousand troops had recent- ly been sent across the country to Grenada and Jackson, but baye-now returned, and be- for our fleet can reach them and commence op rations, it is supposed 100,000 troops can be coucentrated at Vicksburg. The force new at wm mnnd IO Mane af th fide “and proceed trom ascauit’ by int Tiver. The troops are well supplied with sub- srence, but have litle or no four, living prin- cipally upon corn and meal. They make their Own shoes. The citizens of Vicksburg have for some time past been busy packing up their furniture, goods, ete, to be Teady to evacnate be place upon the opening of che anticipated Mes Ault. THe Great IsrrovemEeNr. — Pas. ngers traveling between this city and New York are lond im praise of the late arranzement: companies composing the line of railro: tween the two cities, to secure the grea fort for their patrons than the latter we ree tofore able to enjoy. No passenger is now per- mitted to incommode his t-llows by monopo. dimmg seats that he or she has not paid for, while others in the car may not be accommo- dated with a fair share of sp%ce; nor are ladies traveling upon the roads subject to the insult of rowdy blackguardism uteered in their pres- ence; none but Indies and their male attendants being permitied in the cars devoted to their accommodation. This sorting and sifting se. cares order and quiet during the whole trip, aad for all on the train. The Public are much indebted for these ehanges to the energy and efficiency of Mr. Edmonds, the through pas- senger agent stationed at the Washington depot, ‘who attends in person to securing each passen- ger & comfortable and appropriate seat. ees &7 A correspondent writing from Spring- Held, ILL, to the St. Louis Republican, says, in wegard to the expedition and supposed exten- Sive command of Gen. J. A. McOlernand: «No cb military department hasever been created by the War Department at Washington. Sec. | retary Stanton’s recent report to the President ia conclusive on this subject; for in that report he enumerates all the military departments, but says nothing of a department south of Gen. Grant's and north of Gen. Butler's. General McOlermand has not been appointed to the ' command of any department. He has no com- mand at all at this time. It is not the intention of the Administration to erganisean army with : tho sole object of opening the Mississippi river.” ; ‘This is probably a correct statement. } ees 87 The execution of Minnesota Indian Tutrderers was to take place yesterday. Uol Miller of the 7th Minnesota Tegiment, who was in charge at Mankato, in Qn order says that ‘the Preeident enjoins that nona of the prisoners be nllowed toeseape, and that they be protected tor future disposition by the Government, and the orders will be executed by the military torce with the utmost fidelity.

B7 A Key Weet correspondent, undef date of the 15th instant, states that more than fifty large veeseis belonging to the Hanke expedition had beem seen paseing into the Guif within toree days, and the only disaster reported was that of the M. Sanford, already mentioned. ‘The troops which were on board of ber were comfortably housed in barracks at Key West # waiting transportation.
