The rebels made a series of attempts to capture Cumberland Gap on Friday and Saturday week, but they were repulsed by Colonel Love witha strong force, and they had not made their appear- ance since up to yesterday. By last accounts from Chattanooga we learn that General Johnston, with nearly his whole force, had fallen back as far as Rome, Ga., leaving only ® portion of his troops at Dalton. It was thought that Johnston either retired to that point to obtain Bupplies, or to prevent desertions, as between eight and nine thousand rebels had come into the Union lines since the battle of Missionary Ridge. Wo anxiety for the safety of our troops at Knox- ville is entertained at Chattanooga. The line of Couriers between the two points is uninterrupted. | The Army of the Potomac has no report to make of itsclf to-day. No later arrival brings news from Charleston, so we must regard the status quo at last dates as still existing. We have very full particulars of the attack of the rebels. upon Newbern, N. C., on the second instant, which show that it was quite as serious as ‘was represented by the first despatches, which we gave yesterday, although the ultimate result was satisfactory to the Union arms, and{saved Newhbern from being occupied by the enemy, an event which at first looked not improbable. It @ppears that the rebels advanced on the Ist inst. upon our outposts at Bachelor's creek, eight miles from Newbern, and captured them after a severe fight. A force of our ca- valry was also repulsed in sight of Fort Totten. The enemy pressed closely upon our lines, and actually came within hailing distance of the city. Recent despatches received by General Butler, however, informed us that the enemy was driven back to Kinston by General Palmer, on the 2d inst., and that Newbern was relieved. On that evening the rebels had possession of Newport, and cut off the connection between Newbern and Beaufort. A despatch received in Cincinnati yesterday from Kanawha gives particulars of the capture of Gen, Scammon and staff and the burning of the steamer Lovi, which we reported recently. It appears that the steamer was lying at Winfield, on the west side of the river, when thirty-five guerillas during Wednesday night appeared on the opposite side, thirteen of whom crossed in a skiff and took posses- sion of the boat, capturing General Scammon and forty soldicrs and officers, all of whom were asleep. The guerillas afterwards burned the boat. All on board were paroled except General Scammon and three other officers. The prisoners were mounted and sent off into the interior. Our forces lad started in pursuit of them at last accounts. The case of the Chesapeake which was seized by rebel pirates has at length been decided in the Admiralty Court at Halifax, N.S. The Judge de- clared that the vessel and cargo should be restored to her owners, subject to such conditions reepect- ing the payment of the expenses as the Attorney General may exact. The latter demands surety against latent claims, which the owners and agents of the vessel demur to. THE LEGISLATURE. The State Senate was not in session yesterday. | In the Assembly the bill known as the General. Bounty bill, which received the sanction of the Senate on Wednesday last, was passed. This is a different bill from that noticed yesterday morning | s having passed the Assembly on Friday and the Senate on Thursday, which latter specially applied | to New York county, while the one which hecame @ law in the Assembly yesterday legalizos the action of local authorities generally thronghout the State in raising money to pay voluntecr houn- ties and furnish relief to the families of soldiers. The bill passed yesterday authorizes city, co and town governments to expend such amounts of money as they miy decm proper for the purpose of filling their various quotas in the armies of the republic. The bill providing for a uniform State ‘bounty of three hundred dollars, in lieu of the local Dounties, was laid on the table, where it will pro- Dbably remain. Among the measures introduced yesterday was a new health bill for the Mctropoli- tan district; an amendment to the Mctropolitan Police vill, which consists of the insertion of the names of Daniel D. T, Marshall, Joseph 8, Bos- ‘worth, Anthony FP, Campbell and William McMur Tay, as Commissioners, instead of those previously Avnounced, and Lills for the better organization of the First division of the National Guard, and rela- tive to the District and Marine courts of this city, MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The steamship Edinburg, Captain Roskell, from Quecnstowp )st ult, arrived at this port yestor- Gay, and the European Mails to the 234, brought by the Arabia, reached this city from Boston late ‘Vast night. The advices by these ate have been anticipated by telegraph from kt ax. By the arrival of the seamsbip Columbia we Ahave interesting news from Mexico and St. Domin- Go. Some unimportant successes of the French ia of St. Domingo by Spain turns out to be a costly experiment, both in men and money, and the re- sources of Cubs have been taxed to such an extent as to lead to a council of generals at Havana on the subject, and the determination to memorialize the government at Madrid to altogether abandon the effort to repossess St. Domingo. The arrival of the steamship Columbia, Captain Barton, from New Orleans January 30, puts us in possession of one day later news from that city, There is nothing of importance by this arrival, and everything appears quiet in the Department of the Gulf. The steamship Ocean Queen, Captain Tinkle- paugh, from Aspi:fwall 29th ult., arrived at this port yesterday, with the Pacific mails and $365,938 in treasure. By this arrival we have late news from the Colombian Confederation and South America. The details are of much interest, as will be seen upon the perusal of the letter of our correspondent, published in another column. Our correspondent in Belize, Hondaras, writing on the 15th of January, states that both the mar- kets and colonial trade were very dull. Wages had fallen, and the gangs of mahogany cutters were diminished in numbers, The schooner Gerity, of New York, lately seized and recovered” from rebel pirate passengers, remained at Belize under English protection. A letter from Doboy Sound, Georgia, dated Jan- uary 3, anneunces the capture by the gunboat Huron.of the British ship Sylvanus. After being repeatedly shelled and well riddled, the Sylvanus was run ashore and sunk in one fathom of water, and low tide leaves her nearly dry, and she may be repaired. She is about four hundred tons burthen, and is loaded with salt, spirits of all kinds, cord- age, &c. She was trying to run in, and suddenly changed her mind upon seeing the Huron, and tried to run out. Her papers made her out to be from Nassau, N. P., and bound ostensibly to Ber muds. Her captain acknowledged that. she was a blockade runner. About six o’clock last evening a disastrous fire occurred in a large manufacturing building at the foot of East Twenty-fourth street, known as the Empire'Works. The west building, about sixty by two hundred fect, and six stories in height, was nearly totally destr , and property to the value of .000 was consumed. The fire, it is said, started in a drying room on the sixth floor, in the twine manufactory of R. Holden. The Unconditional Union Central Committee, an organization in the interest of Secretary Chase, held a meeting last evening, and adopted resolu- tions pledging the Union party to the work of ex- tirpating slavery from the land. A resolution deprecating the premature discussion of the claims of rival candidates to the Presidency was also adopted. e Marshal Murray arrested two recruit brokers on Friday, named H. Downer and John Crockett. Downer was charged with swindling William Brown, of the Fourteenth heavy artillery, out of | one hundred and fifty dollars. The Marshal sent the prisoner to General Dix, in whose absence he was then ordered to be locked up by the police; but he preferred to pay one hundred and fifty dol- lars into the hands of the Marshal, subject to the order of General Dix. Brown, the recruit, has a wife and seven children, to whom this sum will prove most acceptable. Crockett was sent to Fort Lafayotte. Surveyor Andrews has for some days ‘past been engaged in overhauling the papers of J. C. Rahming, an inmate of Fort Lafayette, charged with being engaged in the contraband trade. The documents are said to implicate several merehanta of this city. The papers of Encas did not reveal any in- formation of special importance. Quietude was the ruling feature in busiacss pieces on 8.turday, there being, as usual, but little disposition to do business on the closing day of the week. In imported goods the business was vory moderate. At tho Produco Exchange there was pot much change in the general com. plexicn of affairs. Broadstuifs were rather quiet, but firm. Corn was firmer, though less excited. Grocories were quiet. Cottoa was steady. Potroloum was steady and Grm for good oil. Freights were steady apd un- changed. Presidential Electioneeri ment to Supersede the R tional Convention. The shoddy republicans, who are indastrious- ly working to secure anotber term to Presidant Lincoln, and who are apprehensive that, if left to the chances of a national convention of his party, he may be as usfortuuate as was Mr. Seward at Chicago, have resolved to supersede the convention by a new system of tactics What this new plan of operations is the reader will discover from the following suggestive ciegptar from the “National Conf miftee of the Union Lincoln Ass | York to elect ab occupant for the Presidential cha'r. most important aod momentous qucatiou, well worthy of yout eareful consideration From the 12th of April. 1861, our march onward has been steady and grand, The heart of the people has been true to the great principles of liberty, which are to be maintained to the end. | _ Ip Abrabam Lincoln 'the loyal people have found a true leader and an able defender of the great ideas upoa which our government was founded.

NEW YORK HERALD, |saspscrrcct Pesicoret cine | re moment ks ee ey brought upon the country by those fierce, whis- key drinking democratic Jacobin clubs of Charleston and Baltimore, of 1860, without heartily wishing the complete and permanent overthrow of these revolution-breeding ua- tional party conventions. They are nothing but clubs of deaperate gamblers and reckless Jacobins. They have been to the aation at large what the grogshop rowdies and savages of Tammany and Mozart Hallabave been to this city—asource of terrorism, corruption, demo ralization and crime from the beginning With these opinions, atrengthened from our observations of thirty years of the vicious ele- ments and consequences of these national Pre- sident making party conventions, we can have no objection to the néw system proposed by Mr. Draper. It is the Hxrann’s thunder that be has been stealing’but with this dif- ference; that while we would use it in behalf of a great man, a capable man, and a popular and acceptable man, fresh from the people, Mr. Draper and Company are employing this stolen thunder in ‘behalf of ‘a man who stands before -the country a decided and: deplorable failure. ‘But, adopting the day designated by this Lincolo association for these popular meot- ings in his behalf, why may aot the friends of Gen. Grant turn. it to. agood account? We think they-have only to act upon the hint thrown out by Mr. Draper in order to turn the tables upon him, and upon the Lincoln shoddy re- publicans and the “shent-per-shent” democracy, Tux Jos anp Lossy Work Berorg rar 1 LaTung.—If respectable members of the Lezis- lature will devote an hour’s pains to the imves- tigation of the subject, they will ascertain that about all the swindling railway jobs and schemes before them proceed from a crew of speculators and legis!ative jobbers, whose trail, like that of the serpent, is seen in the out- rageous Harlem bridge swindle, which was to t but two bundred and fifty thous do! but which has already cost nearly four hundred thousand, and is not yet half finished; that it has left its mark in the appointment of a commission to destroy the value of Washing- Tleights, by laying out thereon ten broad ave. nuea, on which railway franchises ag to be monopolized in advance—a commission that has already cost forty thousand dollars, and realized nothing but a map of mischief ; and that if this crew be allowed to proceed with their railway jobs down town, through, for in- stance, such narrow and extremely busy streets as Nassau, from Spruce to Wall; up town through all the avenues into tho county of Westchester; across town—clipping danger- ously near tbe Park—from the Kast -river to the North river, and through nearly: all the streets where a railway can be taid with- out absolutely eacumbering the sidewalks, they will be the recipients of privileges which will eclipee in extent and enormity those of the famous Gridiron Railway, and the right of way of our citizens through their own streets and suburban avenues will have been surrendered to a rapacious set of cormorants and scathips who only look out for their own pockets, and care nothing for what a community may suffer. What the Legislature should do is to examine thoroughly into each of these schemes, find out their rottenness, lay bare the corruptions which abound in all and every one of them, and then putan fron heel ppon the whole crew of'speculators and jobbers who have brought them forward. The Legislature has already commenced probing into the mysteries of oné of the early projects of this class of jobbers— the Harlem bridge .swindle—the creature of former legislative corruption.. What it should do still further in the way of reform is to abolish the Washington Heights Commission, re- voke its past doings, and save farther, and thus needless, expense to the public treasury, and at the same time remove from the longing gaze of legislative brokers and jobbers the tempting scheme of cutting up into railway routes and grocery, groggery and shanty lotsa region that bas scarcely a parallel for romantic beauty ia any part of the country. - Mace Hay Wu Great Expansion 0: vey.—From this time, through spring, summer, fall, up to and perbaps through the Presidential election, let ‘he people of the United States prepare for the liveliest and most pro is times since the war commenced. Let them understand that the paper currency of the nation is to be vastly augmented w the period named. The paper currency now amounts to only about eight hun- dred and six ree millions of dollars, and there are not less than six hundred millions more to be thrown iato the market, to influence trade, to inflate prices, to increase rents, to in- crease the price of every commodity—things to wear, to be caten, to be consumed in every shape. Gold will go up, stocks will go up, everything will go up, and the consumer’s wages should go. up correspondingly. Of these new issues of six lLundred millions of dollars in paper the five per cent interest-bearing Trea- sury notes will afford four hundred millions, and the new national bank currency will afford the other two hundred millions. Beside this, the State banks, in whose vaults a great pro- portion of the bullion of the country now lies, may feel at liberty to increase their circulation to a basis warranted by tho amount of specie they have on hand. This will still further aug- ment the floating paper capital of the country; 60 that before the present year is out the United States may boast of a currency of some Bix- teen hundred millions of dollars, With this stupendous amount of currency, what is to hin- der the greatest prosperity in every branch of trade! Nothing whatever.- So make hay while the sun shines. Don't delay. For, al! remem- her the propheoy of the Comptroller of the United States Currency, and the caution he gave to the managers of the new national banks. The.present prosperity of the country, he says, is fictitious, It is the result of the issue of im+ mense amounts of Treasury notes to pay gov- ernment contractors to defray the expenses of the war arid the nnnatural impetus it bas given to certain kinds of business. Lookythen, to the future, Let the wise take timely warning. Make hay while the sur shines; for there is no knowing when darkness may come upon the land. It may come in broad day, or like a thief in the night.

Such a resolution is in direct contravention of the constitution, aud therefore is mere nonsense. The constitution recognizes no cause for the forfciture of property except treason, and it limits forfeiture even in that case to the life of the traitor. But the radicals, like Thaddeus Stevens, an ineane fanatic of the Danton, Marat and Robespierre type, go above and beyond the constitution. Since that in- strument gives them no power to gratify their insane spirit of hate against the South, they claim that the rebels are outside of any case {that the constitution provides for. They go so far as to say that the rebels are not traitors, but foreign enemies, and that their property is therefore subject to the common laws of war. Of course this measure can have no other effect than toembitter and render still more desperate that part of the South that still holds out, and to forever preclude the possibility that. any por- tion of the Southern people can again become good citizens of the United States.
