THE FRELING IN RUSSIA. PUR. SEWARD CONGRATULATED ON HIS ‘‘vPRtoRnT’! Quarxsrown, Jan. 12, 1962, ‘The Journal of St. Petersburg publishes an article con gratulating Mr. Seward upon the wprightness and intelli gence of his policy, and demanding that the Tront inci- dent may become the starting point of negotiations for J tho recognition by the Powers of commen principles upon f the question of the noutral fag. It also expects England {ito givo the world solemn guarantees for the future by sign. ang convention which, by insuring universal respect for ye rights of nautral powers, wonld contribute to the main- anct of peace and mark the progress of civilization. THE PRIVATEER NASHVILLE. Pirato Watched Closely by the citement at Southampton, and a Fight in Prospect. Groat interest had been excited relative to the move- Imonts of tho Tuscarora and Nai At the latest dates they continued at Southampton, watching each other. The Hfuscarora remained at her anchorage about a mile from Pahe dock mouth, with her flves banked up, and ready to her anchors and start at a mom snt's notice, She only required ovals, water and provisions, ch were boing NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JANUARY 27, 1862. supplied her. On her arrival, Captain Craven commun!- cated with the captain of the frigate Dauntless, ex- Pressing regret at Prince Albert’s death, and asking if he might fire as o tribute of respect twenty-one minute guns. He was notified that the Queen had requested that no guns be fired in the vicinity of Osborne. The compliment, therefore, although fully appreciated, could not be accepted. ‘The Nashville continued in dock, The government had observed the strictest neutrality towards her, and no. thing whatever had been permitted to be done to her but what was absolutely necessary to make hor seaworthy. Neither powder, guns nor munitions of war had been put on board. During the night of the 9th three armed men from the Tuscarora were discovered reconnoitering the Nashville,and were ordered off by the dock superin. tendent. Fires were lighted on the Nashville on the 10th, and there was an impreson was about to sail, but sho made no movemests. The Tuscarora was on the alert, with steam up. It was also reported that another federal verse) was cruising in the Channel, and might be expected at South- ‘ampton. The London Morning Herald is surprised that the government has not given orders to the authorities at Southampton to warn the Tuscarora that she must either quit port at once, or wait until twenty-four hours have elapsed after the departure of the Nashville. We should not, says the Herald, have allowed the Nashville to lie in wait in the mouth of the Mersey for American packets and merchantmen; therefore we cannot, without ® gross violation of our duty as noutrals, allow the Tusca” rora a license we should have refused her enemy. The Herald holds out the course of the French authorities at Martinique between the Iroquois and Sumter as an ex- ample to follow.

The Sumter Reported as Sailing for Southampton. ‘The Sumter was reported to have left Cadiz for South- ampton. ‘A Cadiz telegram of tho 10th says the American Consp! had received orders to protest against the admission of the Sumter into that port. It was said that Spain would protect the prisoners brought by the Sumter. THE STONE FLEET BLOCADE. ‘The London imes reiterates its denunciation of the stone blockade of Charleston harbor, and says, among the crimes which have disgraced the bistory of mankina, it would be difficult to find one more atrocious than this. Even the fierce tribes of the desert will not de stroy the well which gives life to the enemy. ‘The Times protests in the strongest terms against such procecdings, and asserts that no belligerent has the right to resort to such a warfare. Another Prediction of L. L. D. Russell. Russell, in his correspondence to the London Times» predicts the fate of the American govergment will bo sealed if January passes without some great victory. Great Britain. McLaurin, mate of the American ship Ganges, had been ‘committed for trial in London for murdering one of the crew at sea. ‘The London money market on the 10th opened firm, but towards the close showed some slight reaction, con- sols closing at one-eighth decline, attributed solbly to realizations after the advance. ‘The market on the 11th was dull but steady.

THE PROPOSED BANKRUPT LA\. The Feeling in Canada in Regard to the Reciprocity Treaty. CAPTURE OF REBELS IN MISSOURI, &., &., &e. — Wasnmnaron, Jan. 26, 1862. THE PROPOSED BANKRUPT LAW. ‘The bankrupt law proposed by the merchants of New York is generally considered as just and equitable for the Protection of creditors and the relief of debtors. It meets with general favor. The source from whence it emanates entitles it to great consideration. It will doubtless meet with some modifications, but probably will pass in the main as it now is. ‘The following petition has beon handed to Hon. Roscoe Conkling, and will be by him presented to Congress :— To ras HonoRABLe THR SENATE AND House or REPRESENTA- ‘TivEy IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED :-— The undersigned, citizons of the United . tates, respect, fally represent, that the passage by Congress of a genc- ral bankrupt act, is earnestly desired by numerous classes of our citizens, as an indispensable measure of relief, in view of the existing state of ourgnational affairs. It is believed that the many important rights and interests, which will be affected by the legislation thus proposed, can be fully protected by the establish- ment of # uniform system of bankruptcy throughout the United States, based upon such provisions as will secu the relief of honest but unfortunate debtors, upon the surrender of their property,and an equitable distribution of the same among their creditors. Already leading merchants and bankers, fully representing the commer cial interests of the city of New York, have caused the preparation of a general bankrupt act, which has been ap- Proved by them, and is about being submitted to the pro. per Congressional committee. The act thus proposed com. bines all the essential requisites of protection tocreditors, relief to debtors, safety to the public, and, in its various details, provides for the eflicient administration of the system in the extended territory, and the various exi- gencies to which it is intended to apply. The under- signed unite in expressing their approval of the procoed- ings already had,and im recommending such further aetion as may be necessary jto secure, by all proper means, the adoption by Congreis of a general bankrupt act, conforming in its provisions to the principles hereinbefore set forth.

I learn, at the Interior Department, that the rumorg referred to in my last despatch, in relation to this office, grow out of a matter which has been thoroughly inves. tigated by tho Chief Clerk, Mr. Whiting, and by Judge Shipman, undor the direction of the Secretary. Their report places all the parties concerned in a most honor- able light, while no suspicion bas at any time attached to the District Attorney, who is known as @ zealous and successful prosecuuing officer. The rumors in question appear to be revived in connection with the proposed bil) to create a solicitor of customs. ALL QUIET ALONG THE LINES. Everything is quiet in the Army of the Potomac to-day, and throughout the entire army of the United States so far as heard from at headquarters to night. CAPTURE OF REBELS IN MISSOURI. ‘The following despatch was roceived to-night at the ef ae Sr. Louis, Jan. 26, 1862. Official reports just received from the expedition sent from Capo Girardeau to Benton and Bloomfleld, state that they have captured Lieutenant Colonel Farmer and eleven other officers and sixty-eight privates, with a quantity of arms, horses, saddles, &c. Most of the rebel oflicera ‘wore surprised and captured in @ ball room. iH. W. HALLECK. THE CANADA RECIPROCITY TREATY. ‘The hope is expressed in high quarters in Canada that our government and Congress will do nothing in regard to the Reciprocity treaty to disturb the friendly relations Row existing between this country and Canada, but that ‘whatever shall be done will be arranged with @ view to promote and strengthen them, as faras it can be done consistently with our own interests. UNFOUNDED REPORTS OF A BATTLE AT BOWLIXG GREEN. ati. , Cincinnati. ‘There is a report in the city to-night that Judge McCook has received a despatch announcing another battle in Kentucky, at Bowling Green, and that the federal forces were beaten, As this report is generally believed, and may find Its way into the press, I will state that upon investigation of the matter, I can state upon the highest authority that the report is not true, THE ALLOWANCE OF RATIONS TO RELEASED UNION PRISONERS. ‘The federal prisoners recently released from confines ment ia rebel prisons have received their pay proper, ‘Dut have been refused any allowance for rations during their absence. This denial is in strict accordance with the law and regulations, but it is hoped that measures will be taken to make these sufferers the allowance of ‘this poor pittance. 4 BECONNOISSANCE AND PURSUIT OF REBELS. Captain Seymour, of the Ira Harris_cavalry, in making @ reconnoissance this morning, with a detachment of cavalry, came upon twenty mounted rebels in the vicini- ty of Burke’s house, three miles outside our picket lines. ‘They pursued them some two miles, and then fired upon them, Which shots were returned, without effect on either fide. No rebels for # long time have ventured so near our picket lines in that vicinity. CELEBRATION OF THE BIRTHDAY OF ROBERT BURNS, ‘Most of our Scottish regiments and soldiers have made arrangements for fitting observance in camp to-morrow of the one hundred and third anniversary of the birthday of Robert Burns. There will be many & toast and bum- per drank, and speeches will be made in honor of tho memory of tho patriotie poet of Caledonia. THE APPOINTMENT OF OFFICERS OF VOLUNTEER RHGI- MENT! Another difficulty has oceurred growing out of the au. thority conferred upon the governors of States to appoint the officers of volunteer regiments. Colonol Friedman , of the Cameron dragoons, had selected officers for their merits to fill vacancies in the regiment, The Adjutant Gensral will uot reeognive them until they are commis- stoned by the Governor of Peesylvania, who desires to Put others in their places. lp cc™sequence Colonel Fried man threatens to resign. PAYMENT OF THM IRISH NRIGADR. ‘The Irish Brigade, commanded by Colonel Nugent, act- ing Brigadier Genoral, was paid off last week from the first day of their entistment, and through the good influ- ences of the officers and chaplains, have subsequently set the noble example of forwarding forty-five thousand dol- lars to New York and Boston, to be distributed among their families. This is in addition to the amount sent by the officers of the brigade, The batteries are command- ed by Major Thos, O'Neil, of Boston. THE ARMY SIGNAL CORPS. ‘The course of instruction to the Army Signal Corps has been nearly completed. From the corps ten were de- tatled to go with the Burnside expedition, and the same number have also been sent to Kentucky. One hundred and forty-five have received instructions. It is intended to have one of the corps detailed to each brigade staff. INTERESTING RELICS OF GENERAL WASHINGTON. The relics of Washington, discovered at Arlington House by the Hon, Caleb Lyon, of Lyonsdale, and placed in his care by Major General McMlolian, have been by him artistically and admirably arranged, Mr. Lyon, it will ‘be recollected, is the gentleman who while in the New York Legislature successfully advised the purchase of ‘Washington's headquarters at Newburg. These relics consist of porcelains presented to Genoral Washington by the members of the Order of Cincinnati, the arms of which are emblazoned on each piece, upbeld bya figure of Fame in colors. Also, pieces of a tea set. presented to Mrs. Washington by General Lafayette, in 1781, with the monogram ‘“M. W.” on each piece, in a gold centre, his sleeping tent, his field tent and portmanteau, his tea table, his mahogany cabinet, his punch bowl, his treasure chest, two vases presented to him by Mr. Vaughn, a Londoner, two cande- labras presented him by Count Rochambcan, and the blanket undor which he died. Theso are, by far, the most valuable and authentic memorials of the Pater Patria: Mr. Smith, Secretary of the Interior Department de- serves the thanks of the people for affording Mr. Lyon every facility to effect their most perfect preservation, It will be remembered that Mrs. Lee, the wife of the rebel General and daughter of G. W, P. Custis, had twice writ- ten Gencral McDowell that she had not left in the Arling- ton House an article that ever belonged to General ington, and but for the friendship of Mr, Lyon with the late George W. Parke Custis, of Arlington, and his knowledge of these articles during the old patriot’s life time, would have been unwittingly stolen or destroyed by the soldiers or servants, as indeed many of them have been. Crowds of people are attracted now to the Patent Office to gaze upon these souvenirs of the greatest man of any age. FEELING ABROAD IN REGARD TO THE WAR. Private foreign correspondence from high sources ex+ presses the opinion that unless something in the way of active operations shall be done within the next sixty days, there will be danger that European Powers will seriously consider the propriety of recognizing the inde, pendence of the revolted States, It is due to truth to state that these letters were written before any intelli. genee had been received of the recent federal victory at the battle of Mill Spring, THE CASE OF. COLONEL KERRIGAN. ‘The finding of the Court in the case of Colonel Kerrigan has not yet been published. The mass of important cases referred to the General Commanding of Courts Martial hed in various localities defies the greatest human indus. try to dispose of them immediately. The action upon this case, as well as others, will not be known for several days. MOVEMENT OF REBEL ARMY WAGONS. Yesterday over one hundred army wagons were ob. served passing down tho river on the Virginia side, oppo- posite to Budd’s Ferry. It is surmiged that they were either conveying stores to the rebel forces stationed along the river below, or were sent to aid in transporting them from their present position to some other. VORACITY OF THE OFFICE SEEKERS. ‘The recent passage of bills increasing the clerical force inthe various departments have attracted to Washing- ton several hundreds of applicants The pressure upon the heads of departments for these few paltry appoint ments exceeds that experienced in the early days of the present administration. ‘THE ARMY. Lieutenant James A. Snyder, Company E, Third United States infantry, and an efficient aid of General Lander in several of hie hazardous expeditions across the Plains and Rocky Mountains, has been appointed Aid-do-Camp to Brigadier General Sykes, with the rank of Captain. He is a gallant young officer, with discretion and experience seldom attained at his age. ‘Tho statement published in the pgperson Saturday, that the Military Committee of the Senate had unani. mously reported on that day in favor ofthe nomination of Daniel E. Sickles, is not true. Tho committee have not yet reported on the subject, although it probably will do 80, and most likely by a favorablo majority. The Select Committee on the Conduct of the War have frequent sessions. Such abuses or errors as are disco, vored requiring correction are promptly reported to the proper authorities. The committee have thus become a valuable auxiliary, and much good has already been ef- fected in a quiet way. PRESENTATION TO ASSISTANT SURGEON WELLS. ‘The hospital attendants at tho brigade hospital, in General Morell’s brigade, yesterday presented J. P. Wells, Assistant Surgeon, & handsome sword and sash. ABREST OF WHISKEY SMUGGLERS. In several instances during the last few days arrost- have been mado of smugglers of mean and poisonous whiskey into the camps south of the Potomac. In one instance a soldier died from the effects of drinking this liquor, The vender was immediately placed under ar- rest. One or more regimental sutlers have been arrested on the same charge, and their stocks confiscated. DECISION IN THE BARNEY CASE. Yesterday the Orphan’s Court of this District gave s decision in the notcrious Barney case by ordering Dr. Harvey Lindsley to be accepted as guardian of the chil- dren, and accepting his bond in that eapacity. An ap- peal was taken to the Circuit Court. ARREST OF COUNTERFRITERS. A gang of counterfeit circulators, who have been for some weeks flooding this neighborhood with counterfeit money, were arrested yestorday. Their names aro Becker, Attingly and Maggie Shaw. A largo amount of counterfeits on various banks in notes of from one to twenty dollars were found on them.

THE MARINE CORPS. The government are still in want of an additional in- crease of at least nine hundred mon to the United States Marine Corps. Recruiting depots for that purpose have beon eatablishod both in this city and elsewhere. Intel- ligent and energetic officers havo been plased in charge of thom, Yet, withal, their efforts have beon found to prove ‘w.oqual to the urgent requirements of the service. Their term of enlistment is four yedrs—not three years or dur. ‘ng the war; their bounty is not to be $100, nor is it said to be anything at all; their land warrants are blanks, and, as 't to crown the whole, however anxious ® man may be toface the enemies of his adopted country, he is not Privileged to do so in the capacity of @ marine except he has paid at loast ove visit to the naturalization office, in the Court of Common Pleas, at the City Hall. In the face of such disadvantages as those, to procure men will be out of the question, more especially as the volunteer and regular organizations—whether authorized or not—con- tinue to hold out inducements tenfold superior to theirs. Lot the proper authorities see to this at once, and in the name of common sense remove the unjust barriers which are popularly and rightly ‘supposed to retard the efi: clency of this very important branch of the public service’ REBEL ACCOUNT OF THE CAPTURE OF BILOXI. ‘The Norfolk Day Book has an article from the Charles- ton Mercury, headed ‘Important from Florida,” giving the particulara of the capture of Cedar Keys. There were three schooners and five fishing smacks loading there at the time the Yankees took the place. The schooners were loaded with lumber and tupentine- The Mercury’s informant thinks they were destroyed by the owners on Thursday night, 16th, as soon as it was ascertained that the Yankees intended to attack the town. The President of the railroad went down with two companies of infantry to protect the property, and @ message was sent to General Wapier for assistance. ‘Thursday firing was heard in the direction of Codar Keys, and our floet no doubt has taken the place. The Maryland Legislature. PEARCE AND KENNEDY REQUESTED TO RESIGN. Bazrmmorg, Jan. 26, 1862. Resolutions were introduced into the Maryland Senate on Saturday to request Senators Pearee and Kennedy to rosign, on the ground that their sentiments are in diroct conflict with the settled view of the people of the State, ‘and that it is right and proper that the State should, at this critical juncture, be represented by Senators whose hearts beat responsive to the throb of devotion to the popular heart of integrity of the Union felt by the great the State.
