THE SITUATION. There are symptoms of coming movement in General Hooker's army. The transportation re- sources are being cut down, and officers have been notified that all superfluous baggage must be sent home. The officers of the line are to be allowed nothing in the shape of camp equipage, except shelter tents which they oan carry on their backs. This means an active and probably arduous cam- paiga. The roads have dried up in that vicinity considerably within the past few days, and every- thing now looks favorable for a forward move- ment. On the rebel side equally active preparations appear to be going.on. Charleston is awaiting calmly for an attack, and General Beauregard has revoked all furloughs and recalled absentees to their poste. A despatch from Memphis reports a fight.on the Yazoo river, in which seven thousand prisoners and cight transports. are said: to have been oap- tured. It was known at Washington that a movement by out ganboats was in p ® with the intention of cutting off the supplies of rebels, and theréfore it is quite probabis that a battle has taken place, although the particulars’ have not yet reached us. There is nothing later from Vicksburg. Rumors were rife in Cairo yesterday and reached this eity by telegraph that Fort Donelson and Fort Henry had been captared by the rebels; but the re- Ports sre not credited. A gentleman who arrived in Cincinnati on Thursday from Sevannah says that immense armies are maseed in Tennessee—one to hold General Rosecrans in check while the other flanks him, enters Kentucky, and moves di- rect on Louisville and Cincinnati. They are only waiting for the rivers to falland the roads to dry to commence operations. General Granger's force, who went in pursuit of Vana Dorn, returned to Franklin on Wednesday. The rebels fled beyond Duck river, as we before reported. There were several cavalry skirmishes, and some three hundred ragged fellows were pioked up in the pursuit. Colonel Richardson and some four hundred of hie rebel guerillas were surrounded and captured at Covington, Tenn., by a body of Union troops on Monday last. By the arrival of the Australasian at this port yesterday evening we have dates from Europe to the Ist instant—two days later. The despatch of Mr. Seward, rejecting the French proposal for me- diation, provokes the criticism of the London jour- nals. The Times says that it is quite consistent with all Mr. Seward has previously written upon the subject, and that the Secretary ef State is either preternaturally right or incomprehensibly wrong. The Post—Palmerston'’s organ—is more bitter, and declares that, emanating, as this docu- ment, does from the federal Cabinet, it is truly in- credible that that body should have sunk so low as to endorse as its own in the face of the world so much arrant falsehood and absurd nonsense. The Morning Star considers the document un- answerable; it is greatly pleased with it, and that henceforth not even the mildest form of inter- ference can have the least hope of acceptance. The Paris Pays treats the matter somewhat in- differently, merely stating the purport of Mr. Seward’s response, that in the opinion of the Cabinet at Washington a more practicable means would be for deputies from the dissentient States to come to Congress, where projects of arrange- mesft could be discussed, and, if adopted, sub- mitted to the sanction of a National Convention. The London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian says that the Confederate loan has been all freely taken on,the Continent, and that England will have no more of it than it can get from foreign markets, THE LEGISLATURE. In the State Senate yesterday, bills were intro- duced to cxempt from execution the property of widows and minors to the amount of $260; rela- tive to statistics of crime in this city; to allow commissions to take testimony of witnesses out: side of the State, and authorizing a loan to com- plete the Brooklyn Court House. The bill limit- ing notaries public to one for every fifteen hun- dred inhabitanta was passed. Favorable reports | were made on the. bills allowing five dollars, in. stead of four, of the school fund for each pupil in the New York public scheols, and to make the Procarement of abortion manslaughter fn the se- cond degree, TheSenate agreed to the majority feport against the bill asked for by the brewers for protection of their interests. A remonstrance ‘Waa presented against allowing certain stages to rug through Bond street instead of Bleecker. In the Assembly the bill to put @ stop to the operations of the unpatriotic specntators in gold end allver coin, and to prevent the depreciation of the national currency, was reported upon favora- hly to the House, and by it the report was unani- soualy referred to the Committee of the Whole. A wambér of othor bills also recoived farorable re. ports. Notices were given, smong others, of bills to repeal the act of 1860 euthorizing the constrac- tiom of a railroad in South and other streets of this city; to incorporate the Soldiers’ Rest, to amend the laws of the New York Fire Department, te amend the charter of New York, ‘to amend the assessment laws and the law relative tothe laying out of streets in this city, and, to transfer the go- vernment of this city to a commission to be chosen by the Legislature. The resolution authorising o committee to wait on the President in reference to certain citizens of this State imprisoned in Fort McHenry was amended #0 as to transfer the duties of the committee to the Governor. A reaolution for the appointment of a Grinding Committee was adopted. The committee to investigate the charges against Speaker Callicot will hold their firat meeting next Tuesday. The Assembly adopt- ed the resolution for presenting a sword to General Meagher and medals to the officers and privates of the Irish Brigade. Thé resolutions on arbitrary arrests were discussed for some time, after which it was agreed that the vote on them shall be taken at twelve o'clock on next Friday. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. By the steamship Australasian, from Liverpool and Queenstown; which arrived at this port last evening,-we are placed in possession of two days’ later initeligence from Europe. Her dates are to the Ist inst. The political news is interesting. ‘The Polidh insurrection was exciting -great at- tention im the Cabinets of the teading Powers. It ‘was announced from Cracow that the:Russians had been defeated by the Poles after an engagement which lasted fivé hours. The town of Malagoszee, near which the battle took place, had been reduced to ruins. The insurgenteappeer to becarrying on | operations with great activity and enterprise. The Mayor of Liverpool gaye a banquet on the” ‘26th of February to the captains of the American i relief ships, at which there were present about seventy guests, including many distinguished per- fons, There is no change to notice in cotton since our last advices. In Liverpool, om the 28th ult., the market was reported as quiet, but steady. Bread- staffs and provisions remained unchanged. Consols closed in London on the 28th at 92% to 9224. By way of San Francisco we have news from the city of Mexico to the 19th of February, which represents the Mexicans in good condition and spirite to resist the march of the French towards their capital. Itis stated that they have in their armyat Puebla thirty-four thousand troops, and at the city of Mexico fifty thousand. Great ac- tivity was being displayed in the manufacture of ‘war munitions. ‘The. packet ship Isaac Webb, Captain Hutchin- son, from Liverpool; which arrived at this port last night, reports:—On the 12th inst., eighteen miles southeast from the Highlands; came in collision with the Mecklenburg bark Torquato Tasso, Cap- tein Bradherning, hence for Rotterdam, striking her amidships, doing the ship some damage, and did not see the bark again after getting clear of her, although the Isaac Webb stood off and on in the vicinity uatil morning. During the collision 9th inst.; was published in the Naw-Youx Hanaip ofthe 10th, having travelled a distance of two thonsand miles; was telegraphed to’ California, a distance of three thousand miles, appeared in their Papers of the 11th, and the contents of the despatch were, on the same day, conveyed by the same meens back to Salt Lake City, a distance of one York, two thousand miles, complaining of inaccu- racies concerning himself, which despatch reached New York on the 12th, and wae published in the Now York papers yesterday, the 13th. The pro- grees of transmigsion of news is wonderfal. ‘The Sabbath day continues to be marked by events in the progress of the rebellion more than any other day in the week. It will be recollected that 'in 1861 and 1862 some of our most important were fought on Sunday, and thus far this Year it seems to have been set apart as the fight- ing day. The following is the record of Sunday events in 1863:-— Jan. 4.—City of Clarkeville, Tennessee, surren- dered to Union troops. Jan. 11.—Battle and capture of Arkansas Post. Naval engagement between the Union ganboat Hatteras and pirate Alabame, in which the former was sunk. Jan. 18.—Towns of Bt. Charies, Duval’s Biufts and Des Arc, Arkansas, captured by Union gun- boats. Feb. 1.—The iron-clad battery Montauk ettack- ed Fort McAllister, Georgia. Feb. 8.—Six hundred rebels were captured at Lebanon, Tennessee. Feb. 15.—Rebels defeated near Nolensville, Tennessec. March 1.—Destruction of the rebel steamer Nashville by the Montauk. The Chicago Times (copperhead) has a new sen- sation canard. One of its correspondents has manu- factured a story, to the effect that the secession- ists of Kentacky—twenty-five thousand strong— are on the point of rising, and, having been pro- vided with cooked rations for two weeks, will soon be ready to march through the State. The Memphis Bulletin nominates Governor An- drew Johnson, of Tennessee, as a candidate for Vice President in 1864, The Union party in Ohio has called a State Con- vention to be held in Columbus June 17. Crime in the metropolis appears to be en the increase. Two murder cases anda suicide were re- ported at the Coroners’ office yesterday. One of the murders—a wife beating case—was a horrible | affair, and is somewhat similar to a case which occurred in Brooklyn some days ago. For fur- | ther particulars we refer our readers to another | coluran. The wills of John E. Davidson, Joseph Breun- ing and Leah Cole have been admitted to probate in the Surrogate’s Court without contest. ‘The stock market was dull and irregular yesterday morning, but rallied in the afternoon, and cloted firmly at prices generally better than on Thursday afternoon. Gold was very active, and fluctuated between 158 and 161, closing 150% bid. Exchange sold at 1770118, clos ing at about 178}¢. Money was easy; call Joans were 5a 6 per cent. . A heavier business was transacted in breadstufis yee- terday, opening at slightly improved prices, but closing languidly. Provisions were more active. Pork declined and lard advanced a shade. The principal movements in Groceries were thone in sugars and molasses, which were rather extensive, though at essentially uncBanged rates. The cotton market was depressed, with sales of 650 bales At 85 }c. a 86c. for middling, Whiskey was steady, but Rot active. There was more doing in linseed oll, ehiely on specuiation. Tallow was firmer and more p. chased. Naval stores were very dull. aeet omer "4 mod ithes were in moverate request. The freight engage- ments were to a fair extent, but rates were declining. Gaextey IN 4 Revarsn.—There had been such a visible improvement in Greeley since the tate Union meeting at the Cooper Institute S that we were beginning to hope that those ex- perieaced democratic doctors, Van Buren, Bra- dy and Daly, had laid the foundations for a complete cure of bis negrophobia. But yester- day, in the form of a shaking ague, he bad an- other attack of his disorder. We fear, there- fore, that nothing will cure him but « pair of red flannel trowsers and the command of a negre brigade, and with this suggestion we tura him over to the kind consideration of Dr. Lin- be Important Resalts of the Polish tusur- Peotion. Wo bear, by the Intest advices from “Rurope, that the inourrection in Poland is most likely to occasion grave politieal complications iu Burepe...The Peles are . successfully com- bating the Russians, having, in several instances, driven them to take refuge upon the terri- tory of Prussia, end in one instance upon that of Austria. In this case the Austrians drove the Russians away, heaping abuse upon them, and even stoning them. In. Prussia, however, they find a willing refuge. Events go to prove” that Russia and Prussia bave made an agrée- ment between them which, if submitted to by the other Powers of Europe, would defeat the hopes of the Poles; but it is evident'that England and France will be ferced to interfere and prevent Prussin from lending any assistance to the Czar. The people of England and France are in favor of the Poles, with whom they sympa- thize deoply, aud heace'their respective govern- ments will be influenced, by this well known bent of the public mind, To Napoleon the Polish insurrection is fraught with the deepest) interest. He must. now decide with whom he will range himself— the despots or the people, the monarchs or the revolutiontets. He ‘have to make his’ choice at once. The need for action is imme- aa berein he has every advantage—the sympa- | thy of his people and.an opportunity to make another show of aiding oppressed nationality. He will be enabled: also to cause the Frenoh to: everlook tbe unfortunate Mexican expedition, while he can gracefully abandon all attempt at | mediation or intervention in our affairs. Should he reconstruct the Polish kingdom, he is well aware that some member of his family would most likely be called to reign over it, while, by ita very existence, the new kingdom would change the aspect of European affairs; and a change there can but benefit his at pre- sent precarious position. There exist many reasons why Napoleon should aid Poland— none why he should assist her enemies. To side with them were to abandon the progress- ive party in Europe; and he must know that such a desertion would coat bim bis crown. England will surely morally aid Poland, be- cause thereby she injures Russia; and she is well aware that Russia is endeavoring to supplant her in the East. Besides, ia England the popu- lar sentiment is all in favor of Poland; and Palmerston is very fond of giving way to popu- lar sentiment when he can do so without clash- ing with any of his schemes or prejudices. We may thus anticipate troublous times in Europe, unless Russia gives way to the pressure of the other great Powers and makes some con- cessiona to the Poles. Should she refuse, we shall not be surprised to see a general, war-in Barope. The consequences will be momentens. te us. ian eats aed pg yoy ng The interesting account of the baitle . be- tween Fort McAllister, on the Ogeechee river, and the iron-clad.gunboats of the Mositor pat- tern which we published yesterday is full of instruction, and that of the most practical kind. The result shows that the armored vessels of the Monitor pattern are not only the best afloat, but that they are invulnerable to such metal as the rebels possessed at Fort McAllister. Whether they have heavier guns at Charleston, Savanneh or Mobile can only be determined by actual conflict, and whether their heaviest can make any impression on our iron-clads is a question which must soon be solved. The fact that Fort McAllister was not actually taken does not depreciate the merits ef the iron-clad fleet. Had it been a stene or brick fort it would have been knocked to pieces. Fort Sumter, for instance, would have been made a heap of ruips in half the time. But being an earthwork of a peculiar construction, and the damage being repaired as fast as it was inflicted, Fort McAllister was exabled to hold out for a time; but had it been necessary to reduce it there can be little doubt its demolition would have been achieved. In- deed, if it had been worth while, the fort could have been taken by aland attack. The object, in attacking it at all was to capture or destroy the Nashville, protected by its guns. That ac- complished there was no longer any necessity to continue the fight. The bombardment that followed the destruction of the rebel craft was merely to train the inexperienced hands on the other iron-clads and prepare them for greater achievements. The first practical test of the value of iron-cased vessels in war was in American waters—the de- struction of two fine frigates by the Merrimac, in @ very brief time, in Hampton Roads, and the repulse of this ship by the original Monitor— & dwarf against a giaut—an object apparently 80 insignificant as to be compared to “a cheese- box on # raft.” The news of this naval action startled all Europe, proving that its forts and wooden vessels were of 20 avail against our iron-clads in the event of invasion, while, on the other hand, it | u!¢ retesed to would be impracticable for the old hulks of Eogland and France, or such iron-clads as the mechanical genius of those nations was as yot enabled to construct, to capture the ports of the United States. About this time the pre- viously rampant boasting Britishers firet showed the white feather, though they pretended that the turreted vessels were their own invention. But when the Monitor foundered at sea they took fresh courage, and concluded that vessels of this kind were a failure. Intelligence has since reached them of a gunboat of the same description having weathered a most terrible storm; and when the news which we published yesterday has crossed the Atlantic, showing that another of our iron-clads has stood » pro- tracted bombardment from a rebel fort with- out any material injury, they will have learned @ new lesson in naval warfare which may not be without some influence in curbing the exe- cution of their design to intervene in our do- mestic concerns, if they can only do so with impunity. Brionam Youxe Ixpicren.—The great high priest, apostle, prophet and potentate of the “Latter Day Saints” has been indicted, arrest- ed, and, in the sum of two thousand dollars, bound over to answer in a United States court to certain charges of high crimes and misde- meanors in connection with his patriarchal in- stitution of polygamy. These proceedings are in accordance with a law of Congress abolishing polygamy within the Territories of the United States and providing heavy pains and penalties against all offenders.
