Catxo, Feb. 20.—The blockade-runner Wren escaped from our fleet into Wilmington by a flag of truce rnse. The Memphis Bulletin learns, from a gentle- man who left Selma, Ala.,on the 24th ultimo, that Dick Taylor has a considerable force at Selmaand Mendina. Therebel manufactories at Selma are turning out a large quantity of munitions ot war. Fortifications extend all around the city, but they are not very formidable. The most of Hood’s army has been sent to operate against Sherman. They are nearly all naked and dis- pirited, and had lest all hope of a successtul resistance tothe Federal troops. A large num- ber are barefooted. Itis stated that ten thon- sand of Hood’s men had their feet frost-bitten during the retreat from Nashville. The slavehcldersaregreatly dissatisfied with the conseription of slaves and free blacks for the service in the army, but it was actively go- ing on. General Forrest is collecting a force at Jack- son, Miss , for operations against Vicksburg. Important Speech by Mr. Stanley—Spain andthe Pope's Encyciical Letter—K us- sia’s Treatment ef Poland. New York, Feb: 21.—The steamship China, from Liverpool on the lith, and Londondery on the 12th instant, has arrived. It is rumored that the British Admiralty contemplates the reduction of the coast guard service The Hon. L. Stanley addressed a large gath- ering of the friends of the Freedmen’s Aid Society, of Manchester, tounding his remarks on the impressions and information acquired during a recent visit to America. Heexpressed & hearty admiration of the anti-slavery govern- mentofthe North. He earnestly hoped that the South might be subjugated, and saved from atriumph which would only lead to their own destruction. The Spanish Government has Pronibited the publieation of the Pope’s encyclical in Spain. Official instructions from the Russian Gov- ernment for the reorganization of Poland had reached Warsaw. The provisional govern- ment is suspended. The public admiration will henceforth be only through the depart- pene of the respective ministers at St Peters- arg. Cotton declining. Breadstuffs dull.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2).—The subscritpions to the 7.30 loan, received by Jay Cooke to-day, were $1,082,100, The largest Western subscription was $101,- 000, and the largest single subscription was $406,000, from New York. There were 2,916 individual subscriptions of 850 to €100 each. The Abolition of Slavery. Manrson, Wis., Feb. 21.—The proposed con- stitutional amendment was ratified by the Legislature to-day. The Naval and Military Power of the United States. {From the London Times, Feb. i.} It is remarkable that the Americans, though eargerly ascribing finality to all their military operations, attach no such character to their military establishments. The ‘ninety days” term has never ‘been appliea to their arma- ments. The war, they have repeatedly as- sured us, is a mere passing affair, but the es- tablishments which the war has suggested are evidently regarded as permanent institu- tions. The Federals have turned tothe old countries of Europe for instruction on the sub ject of standing armies and nayies; and atthe moment when a reduction of armaments is recommended here, the Americans are delib- erately laying the toundations of military and nayal power: FINANCIAL.—From yesterday’s New York Commercial : The markets are, almost without exception, demoralized by theimportant news trem the coast, In addition to the fall of Charleston, it is reported that a large conflagration wasraging at Wilmington on Saiurday and Sunday last. supposed to be attended with great destruction of property, and constrned as evidence that Wilmington has been evacuated. This has produced a hesitation in the produce and dry gcods markets, which appear to be but the be- ginning of @ coming break down in prices. Gold, however, bas yielded but litthe—the loweet point touched during the morning beivg 196);, and stocks opened decidedly tirmer at the morning board. The news respecting Wilmington, however, was not known al the session, aud after the board prices were weaker, The loss by the rebels of tlieir coast positions and of their railroad communications, precipi- tating fevidently a cencentration of forces in the interior, and arapid succession of great battles which may at an early day cloze the waris eyidently taking deep hold on the markets, and the prospect is thata compara. lively protracted hesitation will keep business in an utterly stagnant condition. Governments are not materially affected by the news from the coast.

He states that upon the passage of the actof March 3, 1663, he directed Judge Advocate Holt to commence proceedings against such as should pot be released under the provisions of the act. The prisoners were confined at St. Louis, Al- ton, Louisville, Sandusky, Wheeling, Camp Chase, Fort Lafayette, Fort McHenry, Fort Delaware, and the Old Capitol. «It not being generally stated on the rolls by whose authority the arrests were made,” says Judge Holt, «It has been presnmed (for the purposes of the present lists) that all were made by the authority, either directly or indi- rectly, of the President, acting through the Secretary of War. In point of fact, however, itis believed that the arrests were generally made by the military commanders and provost marshals, without any intervention on the part of the President or Secretary.”” The cases of guerrillas, it seems, and such as are clearly triable by court martial, were not generally included in the lists. Neither were the cases of parties confined under sentences of military courts. Those embraced in the lists were those awaiting charges, hostages, refugees, rebels, disloyal, &c. The Secretary says {prior to the passage of the act he had taken measures to examine and determine the cases of State and pelitical prisoners, by appointing commissions toexam- ng prisoners, and discharge all proper cases. Bestates that in some military departments prisoners had been incarcerated by State exec- itives or local military commanders; thatsuch ases did not come within the terms of the act, but that measure had been taken for their in- vestigation and their discharge when it could be done without prejudice to the — Bafety. A commission charged with this duty, consist- ed of Benjamin S. Cowan, Roswel! Marsh, and Samuel W. Bostwick. A special committee, consisting of Judge King and Judge Bond, was also appointed for the examination of prisoners at Fort Delaware or elsewhere in the Middle Department, and General Dix was ordered to investigate cases of imprisonment at Fort La- fayette, and other prisons in the Eastern De- partment, for the custody of blockade runners and illicit traders. Major Turner was direct- ed, February 1, 1S64, to make investigations at the Old Capitol, used for the custody of pris- eners arrested by military commanders and by the Navy Department. He was directed to dis- charge minor offenders, who were not prison- ers of war, report for exchange all prisoners of war, report for trial all charged with violation of the laws of war, and inyestigate and report abuses in arrests by provost marshals or oth- ers to the military governor. The Secretary also states that uent ex- arninations of nulitary prisens had been ordered from time to time. The Secretary recounts the iacts of defection from loyalty of officers of every rank and de- partment of the seryice, and says in this emer- gency the President thought it his daty toem- ploy with energy the extraordinary powers which the Constitution conferred on him in cases of insurrection. He called into the field such military and nzval forces, unauthorized by the existing law, as seemed necessary. He directed measures to prevent the use of the post oflice for treason- able correspondence. He eubjected paseengers to and from foreign countries to new passport regulations, and he instituted a blockade, suspended the writ of habeas corpus in various places, and caused persons who were represented to him as being about to engage in treasonable and drsloyal practices, to be arrested by special, civil as well as military, agencies, and detained in military custody. when necessary to prevent them and deter others from such practices. Examinations of such cases were instituted, and some of the persons so arrested have been discharged from time to time, under circam- stances or conditions compatibleas was thought with the public safety. Meantime, a fayor- able change in public opinion has occurred. The line between loyalty and disloyalty is plainly defined. diminished with the p2ssions which prompted needless persone to adopt them. The insur- rection has culminated, and ie believed to be declining. He further states that the President has directed the discharge of all political or state prisoners upon their subscribing to a arole to render no aid to the enemies of the nited States. The Secretary of War will except from the effect of this order all spies and others whose release is deemed incompatible with the public safety. An amnesty is granted to all men who keep their parole. He promises that hereafter all extraordinary &rrests shali be made by the Military authorities alone. The Lean Bill—Mr. Stevens's Substitute.
