THE EVENING STAR. “ay BEADING ‘MATTER O BVERY PAGE. SEB OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- @RAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. WASHINGTON OITY: MONDAY ..,............ JANUARY 5, 1863, SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer noting the demonstration in isvor of foreign mediation made by the New York Tribune and kindred journals, says: «If the National Government ever accepts ‘arbitration,’ with any of saving the Union under the award of the umpire selected, 3: TOnst be an arbitration which shall take place only after the military power of the in- surrection has been crash: This isso plain to every mind that all who Propose to submit our feud to arbitration in the present posture of our ities! and military affairs haye al- ready Eepaived of the Union, and are only lcowing about for anexit by which to retire trom the conwet.”” The Chronicle attacks Gor. Seymour, of New York, for his action in relation to the Police Comm icsioners of New York city, and charges teat be is putting himself into unequivocal Q@ntagonism with the Federal (tovernment. OUR MILITARY BUDGETF. ge THE SITUATION. Up te 1.30 p. m. to-day no information what- ever from Nashytile or Murfreesboro’ had rescbed this cify Iater than or additional to tha: published on our first page this afternoon. Tt is beliewed the wires were down this forenoon and last night sonth of Louisville. From the accounts received it is clear thaton the 2d instant the rebels on the field claimed « considerable snecese: and that, according to accounts from our troope on the field, we tured the tables on them the next day, recov- ering all we had lost and more; succeeding in ¢rossing Stoae river and in adyancing a por- tion of our troops to 4 point nine miles sonth of Murfreesboro’, and cutting the rebel rail aad telegraph connections in their rear—our sccouuts covering the battle of a day Iater than theirs. It is useless to attempt to deny that grear @axiety continues to be felt here for more cs- tailed and Ister informatien from tha bivody field. If any euch comes in time, it will be found im our second edition this afternoen. LIEUT. COLONEL GARESCHE. If this gallant officer lost his life before Mur- freestoro’, as the first telegrams assert, the event will be received by those who know hi< public services—as one vt the chiefs of the Adjotam General's Lepartment—as one of the greatest calamities the country and army have sustained in the war. No other officer con- nected with the service has contributed more to sj} that has been valuable in the organization of the regular service than himself. Modes: and retiring to 3 fanit, little has been known of his Iabors aod their results, outside of the regu- Yararmy. The expression of feeling which his un'imely death will bring forth from his late companions ip arms, if he has indeed been killed, will sarely earn for his memory as high & reputation with the country at large as he enjoyed with the regular service up to the time of his death. DOUBTED. Iaformation by telegraph having been re- ceived at the headquarters of the defences of Washington from our troops in the front in the viewmi:y of Dames up to thie morning, which reports sll quiet in ghat neighborsood, the Morning's pubiishet accounts of a later and Morr successful raid of Stuart's eavalry into Damfries is wo: credited there—at these head- quarters. oe - ®7 Governor Seymour bus caused enarges to be preferred against the Commissioners of Police, New York city. for dereliction of duty, ie connection with the Brinsmade case, and +the order to Superintendent Kennedy in refer- eT nce to Waiching at the polls for persons who might attempt to vote after having elaim- ed eremption from drafting on the groand of being alicts. The trial was ordered to take piace on Saturday at Albany. The Commis- stoners, however, sent a protest against the Proceedings and failed to appear. © L¥TEODUCING” THE PROCLAMATION.—Gov. Andrew, of Massachusetts, in behalf of parties im that State, has cunsed editioas of the Pres: dent's proclamation, in tiny book-form ant with attractive covers, to be issued, and has bad packages of them franked to varions ofti- cers in the service from Massachusetts, request. ing thi m to undertake to introduce the procia- qeation amongst the slaves wherever opportu- nity offers.
