Sr. Loom, Jan. 24, 1862, Several of the secessionists of this city, who were Fecently assessed for the benefit of the Southwestern fugitives, by order of Major Gbnoral Halleck, having failed to pay their assessments, their property has been Seized for a @ay or two past, under am execution to satis- fy the assessment, with twenty-five per cent aiditional, eccording to General Order No. 24.

In this department there are numerous indications that the army will soon see active service. On the 7th inst. General Halleck issued orders for all the fleld batteries in the vicinity of St. Iouis to be prepared as speedily as possible for a campaign. Among those to whom these or- ders were directed are four batteries of the First Missouri light artilery ,commanded by Major Cavender and Major Lathrop This regiment was the first one of infantry raised in Missouri. It fought at Booneville and Wilson's creek, under General Lyon, and returned to St..Louis co- vered with glory, and with its ranks fearfully thinned by the terrible fire which it .bravely.withstood for hours. After its return to this city an erder was issued for its formation into an artillery regiment, and it was Speedily filled up with recruits from-various parts of the ‘West. It has’been furnished with excellent equipments . ite guns aro rifled and.of the newest pattern, and. its drill.has been most -severe and complete. The batteries above referred to are ready to march at amo- ‘ment’s notice, and when jn the flefd will do effective ser- vice. On Saturday last Colonel Totten, Chief of Artil- I°TY, ordered’a review of several batteries in his charge, in order to give General Halleck an understanding of ‘their condition. Thirty4our pieces passed in review in front of General Halleck’s quarters, most of them being rifled tem and twenty-pounder Parrott guns, with anample supply of ammunition wagons, caissons, forges, &c. Among the officers in various grades of command were Majors Cavender and Lathrop, and Captains Maurice, Murphy, Weiker and Manter, and Lieutenants Barnes and Sokalski, all of whom fought at Wilson’s creek. The bat- teries all presented a fine appearance, and reflect great credit upon the energy of Colonel Totten. All of them are ready to receive marching orders. ‘The city is to-day full of rumors that the army is marching from Sedalia en route to overtake the fleeing rebel General Price. The army at that point bas been in.condition to move for several days; but it is hardly possible that it hasmade an advance, except as a feint upon gome point,or to scatter small congregations of rebels within striking distance of the railroad. The movement from Rolla of several thousand troops is looked upon as preliminary to a blow in the direction of Arkansas. At present they have halted on the Gasconade, opposite the camp of Col. Carr's cavalry, and show no disposition to go forward. General Price’is near Spring- field, with from eight to fourteen thousand men and a good suppiy of artillery. McCulloch is near Bentonville, Arkausas, with twelve thousand Arkansaus and Indians. Price says that he will stand and show fight if he is attacked ; but there is no certainty that he will make that promise good. The roads leading from the railroad ter- minus to Springfield are in bad condition, and we shall hardly make a marcb thither unless there is a certainty that it wil! amount to something. Southeast Missouri, frm Ironton to the Arkansas line, is quiet, with the ex- ception of an cecasional stir created by Jef. Thompson ‘and his marauding bands. Colonel Lewis Merrill, of the Merrill Horse, arrived a few ovenings since from his command, in Columbia, near the North Missouri Railroad. Colonel Merrill bas of late been scourimg the country around Columbia,and has scattered several bands of rebels that had been gathered in that vicicity, and were on their way to join Price’s army. He says that for along time the people of North Mirsouri firmiy believed that General Price would visit them in fulfilment of bis promise in his prociamation, and that the concerted uprising was in accordance with that belief. A part of Colonel Merrill’s regiment was in the skirmish at Silver creek, and his men were the first to charge upon the rebel position. The prisoners captured at the Lime of that aflair were as thoroughly infatuated with & belief in the invincibility of Mistourians as they could be, and did not recover from their delusion until some days after their capture. Colonel Merrill looks upon the war as ended in that section, provided vigorous blows are struck in the southwestern part of the State ‘and down the Mississippi Valley. on of regen gp chro with eignt and passengers, principally on government ac- count. ‘The Pacific, in particular, ts doing a thriviog ‘business, its depots in many instances being blocked for several days with accumulated iy Not long since @ gentleman was interrogating the superintendent, Mr. Mask insack, relative to eater a tans of = road. in re- toaquestion respecting its income, Mr. MeKissack fA} that, notwithstanding their losses from the destruc- tion of bridges and other depredations of the rebels, the company was in @ prosperous state, and, unlike many other railroads, bad no desire or oecasion for borrowing money.

Mr. Cohen, the su. perintendent,commences the year with a display of com- mendabie ability in railroad management. His last exploit ‘was the transportation in one day of acavairy regiment ‘one thousand two hundred strong, over the entire length of the road, with their horses, tents, wagons apd equip- ments. This labor required eight trains, and, when it is remembered that it was done ever a single track road, three hundred and forty miles long, without the de- rangement of a single regular train, those who are au fat in railroad matters will look upon it as quite an achievement.

The Ilinots Central Ratiroad has lately been gathering infor- mation on the matter, and it Gods that @ large amount of cotton was produced in the country ene hundred miles north of Cairo several years since, that the culture was abandoned on account of its being unprofitabie.

Speech in Chicaga. TO DO WITH THE SLAVES. (From the Chicago Tribune, Jan. 23.) ‘The smnouncement of the arrival of Gov. Lane was the Signal for au immecse assemblage at the Tremont House yester€ay, which continuet frum an early hour in the Mmorniag until late into the night, Ap almost endless Procession of our citizens streamed m and out of the ‘Tremont, eager tosee the rebellion crusher, and lo pay him their respects personally. The General received the crowd in the. best of spirits, and gave free utterance to his views, which were heartily aud almost unanimously endersed. Although he has accomplished the work of & giant within the past few weeks, Le still appears rugged and as indefatigable as ever, aud received the warm eu- couragement and co-operation of our citizens with lively and gonuine expressions of gratitude. Mrs. Lano, follows her distinguished husband's fortunes through ewil and good report, also received alarge number of calls from the ladies of the city. She is thoroughly im- ued with the viewsof the General, and well filis the position of a sympathizer and adviser. Many of the members of his staff arrived during the day and were waited upon by military officers both from this city and abroad. During the forenoon the General rede to Camp Douglas, and attended by Col, Tucker and other officers, made a thorough inspection of the cam» and of the various regi- ments quartered there. Atter the. inspection he expreas- ed his desire to see the Mechanic Fusileers. In accord- ance with the request the regimentwas drawa up in line in front of the headquarters, and the General addressed them, complimenting them highly apon their rance. He expressed to them his ardent } accompany him upon his expedition, and urged them to settle their differences.and muster in, explaining to them the propositions of the War Department and the charac- ter of their pecuhar service. He fully expounded his own views of the nature of the war and the manner in which he proposed to carry on his own share of it. The General wns heartily applauded by the regiment, and his address had a most happy and conciliatory eflectapon men. Opan theGeneral’s return from camp to the Tremont Howse he found an immense throng of people, both civilians from all ranks of the people and military men of every class, in waiting. Renewed presentations and hand shakings occurred, and reiterated expressions of his views, which met with hearty coincidence, and men congratulated each other that at last the hour and the man had come to solve the probiem of the rebellion. Re- publicans, abolitionists and old line democsats, heartily assented to.his views and gave him a warm and often- times unexpected encouragement. ‘After supper and during the evening the crowd con- tinually increased in numbers until spacious halis and parlors of the Fremont were tilled.alinost to sufloca- tion. Insuch a dense assemblage not one in fifty was able to see the General, much less to speak to him, and the unanimous desire to hear him culminated in an im- perative and unmistakable call for a speech. Although he had determined to make uo speeches, he finally yield- ed to the general wish ana mounted an extempore stand, amid the hearty and'loud applause of the crowd. ‘The General expressed his profound, gratitude for the reception and the ardor and enthusiasm manifested. However much he might be delighted, he appreciated the fact that this enthusiasm was not on account of Jim Lane, but the fact that Jim Lane was the advocate of crushing out this rebellion so that we should never have another. ‘The uppermost fact in every Joyal man’s mind was that this rebellion must be crushed in some way. He knew there was not a loyal man present who was unwilling to lay down his own life. and sacrifice even his own family to accomplish this result. There was ne resolution so strong among all true patriots as that demanding that the rebeilion must be put down so as tostay down. The curse of slavery has been long enough, and it must now be radically cured, For eight long months the North has been contending inst the rebels, and what have we got to show for it? What results. have been ac- complished—what advantages obtained? For eight long months the government has been prosecuting this war so astohurt nobody. It is time some one was hurt. We were willing enough to killevhite men in the South and ito allow them to be killed in the North, but we .were afraid of committing sacrilege if we touched the sacred negro. (Cries of “‘that’sso.””) Yes, afraid to touch the sacred negro who has caused the whole of thig trouble. But let me tell you the govern- ment has got over this notion, the have got over it, and I think I can certify that this crowa have got over i “Yes, we have.”) We have been permitted to discuss all questions, human and di- vine, all questions of society, of morals and religion, to canvass the character of and the nature of his laws, Dut have been forbidden tosay a word about the viper which has stung us in our bosoms. It, is no time for talking now, but for action. We have consumed eight months in inactivity, ‘have wasted tbree hundred millions of dollars and sacrificed twenty-five thousand lives, and turned this country up side down in our insane endeavors to put down this infernal rebellion and savesiavery. I tell you it can’tbe done, andthe government has come to that conclusion. Let me tell you, confidentially, that on ‘Monday a Bew set of books, and came to the conclusion that if the Union can’t be saved and slavery saved, then down siavery. The rebels have either got to submit, to die, or to runaway. | tell you the time hascome when play must stop. The rebels must submit or be sent down forthwith to that hell already yawning to receive them. ‘his desirable consummation was elected by a compro- mise. The radical men agreed that the conservative men should:earry on the war according to their notions, for eight months, provided they were allowed the next eight. The time is up for the conservatives, and they now hand the war and its conduct over tothe radicals, and every conservative man should now extend the same encouragement and support which we gave to them in the prosecution of their method. ‘There are in the South 680,000 strong and loyal male slayes who have fed and clothed the rebel army, and have as good as fought upen their side. Government now proposes that thege loyal slaves shall feed and clothe our army and fight upon our side. The other day while I was talking with the President Oid Abe said to me, “Lane, bow many black men do you want to have to take care of your army?” Itold him as my army would number 84,000 I proposed to have 34,000 contrabands in addition tomy teamsters and wagonmasters. I consider every one of my soldiers engaged in this glorious crusade of freedom a knight errant, and entitled to his squire to prepare his food, black his boots, load bis gun and take off his drudgery. Vanity and pride are necessary ad- junots of the soldier, and I do not propose to lower him by ‘menial offices,.nor compel him to perform the duti the slave. So, while I shall elevate the slave by giv him hisfreedom and making a manofhim,! shall a! elevate the soldier and leave him no work to do but fighting. (A voice in the crowd, “What are you going to do with the niggers?”’) The General, singling out the owner of the voice, and pointing his long finger. at him, replied:—“Ah, my friend, you are just the man Ihave been looking for. I wili tell you what I am going todo withthem. Iam going to plant them on the soil of the Gulf coast, after we have got through this war; let them stay there and cul- tivate the land; have government extend protection to them as it does to the Indians, and send superintendents and governors among them, and pay them wages for their labor. There could be no competition between black and white labor.”’ He believed, whether the rebeis liked the idea or not, that the blacks at no distant da would have possession of that Gulf country, to whieh they were acclimated and physically conditioned. He proposed to establish free State governments as he went along, and he could promise his hearers that either he or the verge et ger sage ae After urging the benefit of s vigorous prosecution the war, the General closed by again thanking the crowd for the handsome jon, and retired to the parlors amid most enthusiastic Spplause, where he was soon engaged in more presentations. it a few minutes elapsed and the sound of martial music was heard, announcing the arrival of the Elis- worth Zouaves, Captain Brant. Preceded by the Light Guard Band, they drew up in line facing the Lake street front of the Tremont, and the band played several pa- triotic airs in most excellent style. An immense crowd thronged the street and sidewalks and loudly called for the General. The latter, who had ined bimself freed from speech making for the rest of evening, in vain attempted to ignore the call and satisfy the erowd by appearing upon the balcony. His appearance only tne signal for renewed and bn mye demands for & speech. The General finally yielded and spoke very briefly, thanking the crowd for their kindness. He said it was not atime for speeches nor the anes a a mory in splendid style. Important to Landlords and Tenants. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Before Hon. Judge Daly. Jam. 25.—William B. Moffat vs. T.C.

His privave secretary, Mr. Palmer, received a communication from him yesterday relative to th® alterations which are to be made in the number and pay of the night inspectors and the special night watch. men. There are at present in the employ of the govern- ment at this port seventy-five night inspectors and six” teen special night watchmen, who receive a salary of two dollars a day, which amounts to the sum of $66,430 a year. To increase the efficiency of the department, with- out adding materially to its expense, Collector Barney, by order of the Secretary of the Treasury, has deter. mined to increase the number ef night watchmen to fifty, making a total of 125 night inspectors and night watchmen. ‘The pay of both classes will be reduced to one dollar fifty cents aday, which will amount to the sum of $68,437 50a year. An additional expense of two thousand dollars a year is incurred by this arrangement, Dut at the same time it secures the services of shirty- prod ei eal aes tear which will add consider- ly to the et y department. This arrange- ment will take effect on the 1st of February. The Secretary of the Treasury has, durmg the last ba | abolished two coliectorships at Albany and one:at oy. Mlumination of the Ice in the Central Park. REVIVAL OF THE SKATING SEASON—A BRILLIANT SCENE ON THE ICE—SKATING AND VOCAL MUSIC— & JINGLING ACCOMPANIMENT, ETC. The ice on the Central Park was in a moderately good condition on Thursday, and as the ball and signal flags were early raised, so also did the skaters arrive early on the scene; although, at first,in rather inconsiderable num- bers. The returns of the gatekeepers, however, gave thirteen thousand visitors (in round numbers) to the Park up:to four o’clock in the afternoon, which number was increased to eighteen thousand Defore the hour of closing the ponds. Most of these visited the ice, But the principal object of interest that day was the illumination of the ice after dark. From some unforseen circumstance the calciom lights were not lit till nearly seven o'clock, but when they were, a lively and brilliant scene was prosented by the fact that a larger number of persons had assembled after their suppers than would ‘have beenthe case an hour earlier. They greeted the luminaries with cheers, and, to add to the effect of the scene, the proprietors of the skate and refresh- ment tents nearost the oth avenue decorated their establishments with col and other lamps. The red danger signals, and the skaters’ parti-oolored club Janteros e the scene any the less brilliant or effective. Some fw persons had grotesque lanterns in the shape of — the eyes and mouth emitting the rays of the lamp inside. ‘Some little disappointment was manifested by theffact that the lights were only above the iron bridge, and not by the terrace,as promised by the Park authorities. ‘The licenses charged for the tents were equally high, no matter in what position they wero placed; p ew sor ‘was not deemed fair that those kept by Waterman and Rabineau, one on each side of the terrace stops, should be deprived of the advantage of the illumination, while those above the bridge gained all the profits of the evening skating. On inquiring of Messrs. Clark & Bent, the contractors for lighting the pond, our reporter was informed that this difficulty would bo remedied the next night, and a lamp placed also on the terrace. This was done on Friday evening, cn which occasion four calcium lampg were lit, making the whole surface of the ice as brigit as day. Durmg the evening the following song was sung by a number of skaters from Utica, the chorus being taken up by the crowd:— SONG FOR SKATERS.

He is going on very favorably.

Thousands of ladies and gentlemen took advantage of the weather, and at no time during the season, probably, was there such a brilliant throng in attendance. From an early hour in the morning until eleven o’clock at night there was a continual stream of visiters pouring in from all quarters of the city. The ladies are most anxious about band ot music which was promised them some weeks ago, and President Oatman is respectfully urged to ace the musie without ferther iy, or there will utiny ‘among the fair ones.

Before Hon. Judge Betts. Jax. 25:—The United States vs. Schooner Jane Campbelt and Cargo.—This cause was resumed this morning. Mr. Charles Edwards concluded his argument, making some Severe comments on the manner of the capture, and urging ‘he release of the vessel and cargo, as matter of justice as well as law. Mr. Stewart L. Woodford, Assistant United States Dis- ‘riet Attorney, then summed up in behalf of the govern- mentand the naval captors. He began by remarking that there was not in this cause, as there had been in others, any dispute as to the existence and positive effi- ciency of the blockade of Beaufort and the North Caro- lina coast. The testimony all concurs in demonstrating alike the vigorous enforcement of that blockade and the knowledge of its existence on the part of the owner, mas- ter and crew of the captured vessel. The inquiry herein @ single one:—Was the voyage of the pon the general and rules of evidence in a prize court, which enabled counsel as well as the Court to sift all the evidence adduced, and by the aid of common sense as well as the rules of law get ‘at the real facts, unhampered by the exacting require- ments of the common law courts. He asked the Court to examine all the cireumstanecs of this voyage, &c. , ac- cording to these rules of the prize law, feeling assured that but one conclusion could be reached—a judgment of condemuation. The first point suggested is, where was this vessel captured? About ten miles oif Beaufort bar. Her ostensible and declared voyage, according to beth her papers aud her master’s oath, was for Cuba. The learned advocate for the vessel will hardly argue that Beaufort lay on her route to Havana. Hence sprang the necessity for excusing her for being where she was. The first excuse made in the claimant’s answer is that the master knew little of navigation save of the North Caro- lina coast, and hence ran in this direction because fa- miliar with the Gulf Stream and this coast. Such igno- rance must have been known to the owner, who sailed with this very master from the same Beaufort for Liverpool, and still remained on board upon this very voyage. Had qualifications for the alleged voyage to Cuba been needed, the owner would certainly have been pro- vided with either mate or master possessing them. But the master was just suited for the actual run to tho North Carolina coast. The claimants next allege stress of weather as the cause of being where they were. Mr. W. endeavored to refute this by referring to the logbook of the vessel, which, as he argued, showed no storms which would so drive them from their course. He then exam- ined the suggestion of the master’s severe illness, and commented on the fact that while the mate, who kept the log, had felt it his duty to note down that on such and such a day the steward had the rheumatism, he had not once mentioned iliness of the master. The sickness master is @ fact always put upon the log. This mate's careful memory of the steward’s aches, coupled with his unsailoriike forgetfulness of his captain’s illness, throws, at the least, grave suspicion on this part of the defence. But the claimant deciares that his vessel was 80 injured by storm and accident, with shattered rigging and fouled centre board, that she was compelled to svck Beaufort or the blockading squadron for relief. The Dis- trict Attorney again referred to the log, and argued from the fact that no mention of these acci- dents was im the log, that if they did oc- cur it was after the 10th of December, when the log ends. The capture was made on the 14th. He ton [ioey bobo a Se, fs thus occur just before her capture, rendering it absolutely necessar; for her to seek the blockading squadron, still they aid on lieve her guilt. Her voyage up to that time was free ‘om accident—at least nome was noted in her log—and to that time its course was for Beaufort, and not for Havana. If, in her attem; wrong, tempest and mishap befel her, compelling port which, up to that hour, she had sought for gain cap hardly thereby hope for safety from seizure and cop- demnation. Mr. Woodford next commented on the charac- ter of Her cargo, as well suited to the Carolina trade, con- Pt of salt, thread, clothes and the like. He claimed that many excuses adduced, each fitted to the point where exculpation was |, while they evi the shrewdness and fertility of the owner's mind, also de- monstrated the true character of her voyage. He con- cluded by a brief roply to Mr. Edwards’ comments on the conduet of the captors, urging that complaints on that seore were matters for consideration of the departments rather than the Court. ford spoke for an hour and a half, and at SS ee jecision.

The vessels there are con- tinvally changing their places as the repairs they may need warrant, Perhaps at no time was the number of vessels at the yard larger than itj is at present, and occupying @ very prominent place among them are the saucy looking schooners of * Porter’s mortar fleet.” We have spoken repeatedly of, the appearance of these vessels, and the destructive armament that they carry? ‘but those huge, curious mortars mounted on the beds must be seen to be perfectly understood, The schooners immediately go into commission upon receiving their armament, and quite a number are now lying in the ‘stream or have sailed for the place of rendezvous. ‘The gunbuat Owosco was placed in commission on ‘Thuisday, and has left the yard to receive her supply of powder. ‘The following is a ins * her Aepinaiaan Lieutenant Commaniing—Jobhu Guest Lisutenant and ex-~, -—Chester Hasfield, Acting Masters—D.

Dawson of Utah in Trouble—A Wo- man Involved. ‘The telegraph announced a few days since that Gover-: nor John W. Dawson, of Utah, who left Salt Lake City on the Sst of December, for the Fast, was pursued when. about twelve miles on his journey, was whipped and rob- bed. Seven of the men guilty of tho outrage had been arrested, and three of them, while attempting to escape: from the vfficers, were killed. The Salt Lake News of January 1 has just come to hand, by which we get some hints at the cause which led to the sudden leave taking: by Governor Dawson of his brief Gubernatorial honors in the Mormon Territory. It seems there was a woman in the scrape, and that it was rather necessary his Excel- lency should bid no formal adieu, but ‘“go at once.” The News says: On yesterday (Dec. 30), about two o’clock P. M.,Gov- ernor Dawson took his departure by the Eastern daily Stage, on his return to Indiana, under circumstances: somewhat novel and peculiar. For the Jast eight or ten days previous to his leaving he was confined to his room, ani reported to have been very sick, and what was worse, in @ state of mental derangement, or in other distrestingly insane. This report of his physician, not a very popular man in this community, was at first disbelieved, but it was subsequently ascertained to be true, and his affliction of a very serious character, so much so that he imagined that he had committed a heinous offence, no less than offering a gross iusult to a respectable lady of this city, to whom he requested his physician to offer a large sum of hush money, &c., &c. From Wednesday till Sunday last, rumor upon rumor was in circulation, and many were the inquiries that wero made in relation to the Governor’s health and condition, which was reported and generally believed to bo no bet- ter, but hopelessly worse. Such, also, was reported by his friends on Monday, in consequence of which, great was the surprise when it was announced,on Tuesday morning, that he had made all things ready, and would take the stage for the East on its departure in the after- noon of that day. ‘The sequel proved that nearly every announcement made by Madame Rumor wrs true—there was little or no fiction attending the matter. The Gevernor went and took with him his physician, a Dr. Chambers, late of Winona, Minnesota, and four noted individuals as guards— to wit: Lott Huntington, Jason and William Ltce, and ‘Moroni Clawson, to each of whom, as reported last even- ing, one hundred dollars is promised, in the event that they guard him faithfully, and prevent his being killed or becoming qualified for the office of chamberlain in king’s palace, tillhe shall have arrived at and passed the eastern boundary of the Territory. All these things, notwithstanding their resemblance to fiction,are known to be true; and by the stage to-day Judge Crosby, and Martin, tho repudiated quasi ex-Superintendent of Indian Affairs, aiso ag Teasons best known to them- selves. So says rej ' Last evening, after Governor Dawacp left, fearful and awful disclosures were made. The opinions of the many that the Governor had committed an offence Chat might. endanger his 1 safety, in the event the insulted fady hed relatives in the Tertitory, proved to be correct; he had recently done what,under the common law of the country, would, if it had been enforced, caused him to have bitten the dust, and, as soon as he was informed that the deed would be divulged by the injured party, he suddenly beeame sick and crazy, made his will and sent his physician once and again to offer large rewards to the lady Soiree ete stars thas nothing of the kind reported transpired.
