From Richmond papers of the 15th inst. we learn that much perturbation exists there in re- lation to movements that the rebels think Gen.

They are also apprehensive of a raid upon Savannah; have records of ‘disasters on the North Carolina coast’ in the shape of destrac- tion of blockade runners; and alsoof asuccess- | ful « Federal raid” in Westmoreland county, Referred | Virginia. Piteous appeals are made in behilf of ‘-the Charleston sufferers,’’ including some “ten thonsand women and children” who are on the verge of starvation. “These women,” it is stated in the rebel report, “are engaged in the Arsenal, Ordnance and Quartermaster’s Do- partments, and other avocations, all trying to do what they can to aid our ca and, at the same time, earn a support jor meeives; bat the bigh price and great scarcity of provisions puts it out of their power to do s0.”” [The attention of the London Times is re- quested to this evidence of Confederate desti- tution.—Ed.

For the preserva- tion of cur national Jife, all thingstehall be subordinate. It is the first, highest, ani noblest duty of a citizen. : ' ” It is the highest protection in person. proper- ty and all civil and religious privileges, and for its perpetuity, in form ahd power he. owes a}! his efforts, his iuflacncee, his means aad his life, to compromise with treason’ would be bat to give at r a existenée and “enable it to Again plonge ws {ato another enuseless, war. In the destruction of the Military power ofthe Rebellion is the only hope of peace, for while armed Rebels march over the soil of any State no real freedom can prevail, and no Govern- ment authority consistent with the genius of cur free institations can properly operate, The people of every State are entitled, under the constitution to the protection of the Gov- ernment, and to give that protection fully and fairly the Rebellion must be disarmed and trodden in the dust. By these means, and by these alone, gan we have an enduring Union, prosperity and peace. As in the past, I will in the tuture,in faith. ful obedience to the oath I have taken spare no means, withhold no power, which can strength- en the Government in this conflict. To the measures of citizens chosen to administer the National Government and adopted to promote every great cause I will give my cordial ap- proved and earnest co-operation. It is the cause of constitutional liberty and law. 1 cannot close this address without an earn- est prayer to the Most High that he will pro- tect and guard our beloved country, guiding with divine power and wisdom our Govern- ment, State and National, and J appeal to my fellow citizens, here and elsewhere, in our em- barrassment, te Iay aside all partizan feelings, and unite in a hearty and earnest effort to sup- port the common cause which involves the welfare of us all. Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Rep- Tesentatives: I pray you, in God’s name, let us in this era in the history of the world, set an example of unity and cencord in thesupport of all measures for the preservation of this great republic.

AND pati el} Sam Franciaco, Jan. 18.—A private Istter from Maryville, Mexico, dated the I Ith inst., on French authority, gives the following items from the interior: “The French are 14,000 strong in Gaudala- jara, under General Bazaine, and another column 4,000 strong, under Drowey, were ap- proaching the Mexican army, near Zupoltan, only twenty leagues from Columbia. The Mexicans intended to oppose them with only seven thousand men under Urago and Jopis.” The letter states that the American Consul, Baker, at Maryville, killed an American sailor who had deserted from the steamer Saginaw» because the latter had refused to obey the Con- sul’s orders to take his place in the stocks pre- pared for his confinement As the sailor was unarmed the killing is regarded as wholly un- warrantable. Baker has been arrested and charged with murder in the first degree and wil! probably be sent to San Francisco for trial by the American Courts. His Exequatur will be withdrawn. He claims to have acted inself defence.
