SPIBIT OF THE MOKNING PRESD. ‘The Intelligencer is without editorial to-day. The Chronicle very properly appiies the lish to those officers who spend their time in the ber-rcoms of Wasbington, Philadeiphia and New York, rather than with their command; in the field. This is an evil that should be temedied at once. The Republican is jubilant over the prospect- ive issuing of the emancipation proclamation. Tuy, Apuission or Wxsteax VigGinta.— The asbington correspondent of the New York Times says that in response to questions proposed by the President, each member of the Cabinet bas prepared a written opiuion upon the question of the admigfion of Western Vir- ginia as aState. = “ Theze opinions, though materially differing DB regard to the tances results of the adinis- #ton of the new State, were nearly unanimous in oppasition to the dismemberment of the Vid —— und the establishment on its ruins of istinct common wealths, with two setts of Spmators in Congress. The measure was op- by several members on the ground that it was a virtual acknowledgment of the legality of secession. It was argued that if Virgi Ws stiil a State in the Union, the division was iliegal, and that an admission of the new State would concede the claim set up that the old dtate, by its secession, was absolved from its Allegiance tothe Union. Mr. Blair is under- etocd to have opposed the admission on the @reund that a division of the State would re- tard the development of its resources. He be- fieves that the emancipation of the slaves would make the people of both sections homogencous, and prevent & conilict of interest; while by the d:vision the inbabitants of West Virginia would become iaeiated, and their condition made the ‘worse. The President also sicnified his oppo- sition to the measure, and will probably send in a veto on Monda ‘These are the objections we urged in oppos’« tion to the measure when it was first broached in Congress, our readers will remember. &7-A Nashville correspondent ot the Uhicago Tribune makes a very important statement ia connection with the present condition of affairs ain the vicinity of Nashville. He states that Gen. Rosetran’s entire army has, for some time past, been subsisied on foraze gathered ia the neighborhood of the city, and that not an ounce of the rations transported thither by rail from Louisvilie has yet heen touched. The supplies im the country around Nashville are by no means yet exhausted. SF The Baltimore American bas the impres- sion that “General Dix having been relieved of the command at Fortress Fonroe, Gen. Me- Clellan will be assigned to that post, and fur- nished with a force sufficient to enable him to assume offensive operations on Richmond by way of the James River. When tat is done we shall on more have hope of the fail of BRichniond.” AnotHER Rewor or INTeRVENTION.—“An eccasional correspondeat” of the Tribune writes from Washington that he has reason to delieve the Emperor of France wiil once more Press bis proposition for an armistice, and will thrraten to recognise the South in case it is re- fused. Recognition is no use to Napoleon, and anything furthemis too serious for him to at- tempt yet av hile. ——$<$—$<<<—— SF For the first time since the war opened ‘the supply of arms is ahead of the demand, at Jeast for the first time there is an accumulation at the Springfield armory. From 30,00 to 40,000 new rifles are now on hand, packed and ready for shipment. The armoy turns out abont 1,060 muskets per day. BF St. Louis papers announce that all the steamers on the Mississippi are now in she employ of the Government, transporting troops and supplies toward Vicksburg, and are of the Opinion that the expedition is already near its destination. eP Mayr General Tohn 4 Pin nas wan Sasigned to duty as commander of the Military Department of New Yori, vice General E. D. Morgan, resigned. SF The London tradesmen are very despon- dent. Queen Victoria has determined to wear mourning another yrar and sombre colors will be the fasbior. ie ee j BF The Gen. Biuat who is doing such bril- | iant service in the southwest is a « Pine-tree- State” Yankre. SF New Madrid is to be reoccupied, troops having been sent thither on Tuesday. A EBemox reo Wasninctox—aA epecial d&patch from Washington to the New York Times says: “A rumor, originating in the War Depart- ment, has been in circulation here for a day or two, to the effect that Mr. Stanton intends to resign bis Secretaryship about the 20th of Jan or of Mr. Watson, his present chief Frxaxciat.—New York papers of yesterday €vening report an excited stock board Festers day. ‘order State securities are all better.

Se aes i THE NEW YRAR. The results of the war measures of the Gov- erpment throughout the past year to re eatab- lish the authority of the Union ovér the States in rebellion, hav@ not been anch as to make this & joyous day to the loyal section of taa country. Neverthelese@it behoove@all hearty Unionists to cast regrets and doebts behin@ them, and to redouble the energy and sarnest- ness With which they enpport the legitimate | authorities of the land in the restoratign of tho | tof | Union: as, if in these dark hours the bh the country fallers, all is lost. The hope for the coming year is that those charged with the | prosecution of the war will profit by their last | year's experience, aided by the lessons deduci- | ble from the seeming so much bett-r manage. | ment of their so much less available military | resources, which has marked the military ad- | ministration of the oligarchy. We believe that wesurely possess all the ne:es- Fary rescurces to speedily crush the rebellion, and that if the mistakes of policy and the errors of omission and commission of the past year be | avoided and corrected fromm this firet of Jan- uffry, 18¢3, the first of Jannary, 1564, will find the authority of the United States re-extab- lsbed over all the seceded States. Else, there can be little room for hope that the advent of | that day will fail to tind the contest substan- | tially settled against the right. ‘The sources from which the needed lessons or counsels of experience may be drawn, are so ' the displ freeh in the memories of all that we need not | second particularize them here. In telling us why we bave failed up to this time, they sorely teach us how we may succeed hereafter, if wo will but heed their warnings. The great danger ahead is the possibility that & majority of the people of the loyal States may. besitaie to sustain the (Goverament’s military measures with the heartinres ab- solutely neceseary to secure success. It ir use- less to attempt to disguise this patent fact. The only possible remedy for this threatening state of things is a display of such military energy and ciency, and an adherance {a future to such moderation of policy as will im- press all with the belief that we not only have the power to crush the rebellion in due time, but that that power is being wielded to the legitimate end of restoring the Union in fact, 4s well as in name. THE SITUATION The weight of late inform. a from the front satisfies us that the rebel army recently massed in the rearof Fredericksbarg is being seattered in various directions. Thus, it is be- lieved that they have at least withdrawn from their first line of works there, and deployed (or extended) their left to the vicinity of Cul- peper Court House, & distance of thirty-nine miles; probably for the protection of their Gor- donsville raigroad_junction while their other movements are being executed. & Information of an advance of a body of 7,009 of their troops upon Gloucester Point and Yorktown has been received; and, also, that they have considerably increased their force on the south side of James river, operating froin Petersburg as their base. Suil further information is at hand mating that two brigades were recently met on the march from Fredericksburg back to Rich- mond We therefore conclude that the force in front of our army of the Potomac at this time is not half as great as its own. In venturing the movements megtioned above, the r bel commanders are calculating upon the difficulties which surround ,supplying our troops at this season, if an attempt be made to tuke advantage of them. Believing these diffi- culties to be overrated, we that General Burnside will vantage of the rebels’ over confidence. THE VERY LAST ROORBACK. We hear a story alleging that President Lin- coln was last night shot at, while riding, and his coachman wounded. There is ng truth whatever in either branch of the roorback. ANOTHER FALSE RUMOR.
