WASHINGTON OITY: THURSDAY........ FEBRUARY 12, 1563, Se READING MATTZE ON EVERY PAGE. SER OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TALE. @BRAPHIO AND OTHER MATTER. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer is surprised to find any ad- mirer of the Emancipation proclamation dis- senting from thesteps taken by Gen. Banks to give force and application to the President's in junctions, by requiring the negroes of Louis- 4ana to labor for a just compensation. The Chronicle advocates Senator Sherman's bill authorizing the issue of bank bills onthe cTedit of the Government. The Chronicle says: “This bill proposes that for this privilege of issuing bank puper, the credit of, the whole country should be the basis. Not one dollar w:li ever be lost to the people under the new system. At the same time the existing bank circula- tion is to be taxed, :s a legitimate subject of taxation, thus yielding a revenue to the public treasury in return for a privil granted to the corporations issuing it. While, therefore, it will not be compulsory upon the old Tastitu- tions, the bill, if adopted, will secure tor the majurity of States a circulation ot unquestion- Abie value, uniformity,and convenience. Es- bn will it be acceptable to the States of Ninois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Iowa, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Mississippi, and other Southern and Western States, now in want of 8 reliable and more enlarged circulation.” —— Tar ConTraranp Mepiciyxs Seizveg.—in ouraccount yesterday of the seizure of medi- cines if transitu South by Col. Baker's corps, it was stated that the boxes containing then ‘were conveyed from Nairn’s drug store over to the pavement ia front of the carpet store of J. B Dodson, by whose direction they were placed im the cellar under his store, occupied by an italian, where they were re-directed and con- veyed to Georgetown. Mr. Dodson assures us that he has had no knowledge whatever of these boxes or their con- tents, or any thing todo with themin any shape, and that arrangement as to depositing them in the cellar must have been effected with the Italian by the owner of the goods; and as the Italian speaks very little English, it is possible be was not aware ef the character of the goods. P. S.—Since writing the above we hear that the Italian mentioned threw the responsibility for the goods being stored in his cellar on Mr. Dodson in his statement to the authorities, ‘There seems to be some mystification about the matter, which will doubtless be cleared up shortly. 7 Humphrey Marshall's gueriilas are com- mittting fearful depredations in Bath county, Kentucky, and the adjacent mountain regious. The jailer of Bath county informs the Lexing- ton Observer that Marshall has a mountain camp about 2! miles from Owingsyille, whence his men make frequent descents. About 250 of these depredators entered Owingsville on the night of the ist, and stripped two boot and shoe stores, even taking baby shoes. They also stole all the quilts and about one hundred of the best horsesin the neighborhood. They have also murdered several persons. The jailer, in common with nearly all the Union men in the district, has been compelled to fly. The proprietor of the Olympian Springs is also among the refugees. The presence of a military force is greatly needed, as nearly all the fighting men have joined the army. RETALIATION.—Gen. Hunter, of the Depart- Ment of the South, appears determined to con- duct the war in bis jurisdiction on Rebel prin- ciples. On Jan. 21, Gen. Mercer (Rebel), com- manding at Savannah, Ga, sent under a flag of truce a letter to Gen. Hunter, requesting the release of a prisoner—Mr. McDonald—whom be (Mercer) alleged was a non-combatant, Gen. Hunter replied, that so long as Federal THE EVENING STAR. | OUR MILITARY BUDGEY. fats och ad TRANSFERS OF TROOPS, Tho 11th New York volunteers relieve the | 15th Peonsylvania volunteers—headquarters on New York avenue and North Capitol street.

VESSEL OF TILK BANKS’ EXP &0: TION SAVED BY A COAST SURVEY STBAMER. The U.S. Const Survey steamer bib», Capt. | Loutelle, surveying on the coast of South Uar- i olina, went in search of the steamer Pilot Boy, & transport of Gen. Foster's expedition, dis- | abled, found her at anchor off the enemy’s coast, and towed her one hundred and thirty miles towards Port Royal. —— The French Minister's Mission to Rich- mond. | A communication was received in the Senate | yesterday from the Secretary of State, in answer to a resolution by the Senate, in reterence to M. j Mercier’s mission to Richmond. The report is | as follows: ; j To the President of the United States: | The Secretary @ State, to whom wasreferred | a resolution ot the Senate, passed on ths 9th day of February, instant. in these words, yiz: “Resolred, That the President of the United States be requested \o communica’e to the Ser ate, if not incompatible with the public iater- est, the character of the suggestions made by the Secretary of State of the United States to M. Mercier, the = ces seer ef the Emperor of the French to this Government, as narrated in his communication to M. Thouvenel, under date of the 13th of April last, which induced M. Mercier to undertake his mission to Rich- mond in that month, and what representations, ifany, he was authorized to make from this Government or trom the Secretary of State to the Confederate authorities,” has the honor to submit the following: That nosuggestions were made to M. Mer- cler by the Secretary of State toat induced, or were designed or calculated to induce him to undertake x mission to Rictmond in April last, or at any ther time. He was not then, nor has he or any other person ever been a thorized by this Government, or by the Seer tary of State, to make any representations of any kind or on any subject to the insurrection- ary agents, or so-called authorities, at Rich- mond, or to bold any communication with them on behalf of this Government. From the beginning of the present disturb- ances until the sp ing of 1562, this Department was charged with the authority of granting Passes or passports through the lines of th: Governmen! forces. It early becam> a ques- tion whether toreign ministers res: ding in the Luited States should be devied su passports. It was thought a sound and liberal poliey to leave them free to visit any part of the couutry to which they are aceredited, so long as the should be mo ground to question their good tuith towards this Government. This has been uniformly ayowed as the course of the Gov- ernment. Accordingly, a passport was grant- ed in the month ot April, Is6!, to his Exe-l- lency Rudoiph sehliden, minister resident here of the Republic of Bremen; a like passport was granted on August ', tothe French Mini: attendid by his Royal Hizhness, the Prince Napoleon, (Jérome,) then ou a yisit at this Capital, and in Aprii last a similir Pp port to the French Minister. These passpor were granted at the request of those distin gnished persons respectively, and not on any suggestion of the Government or the Secretary oft State. They severally traveled in a private and unofficial capacity. They bore no com- munications, whether formal or informal, yer- bal or written, from this Government, or from the Secretary of State, to any insurgents, and | they brought none from any such person to this Goyernment, or to the Secretary of State. | Since the fourth ot March, 1561, no communi- cation, direct or indirect, formal or informal, bas been held by the Government or by the | Secretary of State, with the insurgents, their aiders or abetters. No pas=port has been granted | to any foreign minister to pass the military | lines, except by the President's direction, and | each of such ministers who has received such | assports has, on his return, waited upon the | resident, as well as the Seeretary of State, | and given them such account, unasked, as he | thought proper, of the incidents of his journey.

ALEXANDRIA Arrains.—Between tour and five thousand troops landed at our wharves last Saturday morning—a part of the Pennsyl- yania Reserves. This will accoant for so many soldiers in our streets for the past two day: The boys have been confined to camp life for several months past, living on camp rations, without a drop of the “creature,” and those fortunate enough to have a little spare change on hand, are bound to have a “hich old time.” Itis estimated that one half at least has a bottle of fighting whisky, and how they get it, and where they get it, would puzzie a Philadelphia lawyer to tell.—Alez.

Near the cornerof the Avenue they made a break to escape, and a number of citizens interfered to aid them, when a row took place, the man having the handcuff: on striking one of the guard over the head, cut- ting it badly. wo of the prisoners were wounded—one re- ceiving a bayonet stab in his arm, and another in his breast, and the third made his escape through the crowd.
