The pickets’ along the lines and somo of the batteries still ‘continue to exchange shets, resulting in frequent casualsios; but nothing approaching the dignity of a disturbance of army “quiet,” according to the soldier's definition, bas 00 curred now for many days, It is reported that General Hancock has requested to be relieved from the command ©: the Second corps, and will be assigned to reorganizing the interior military departments. General Burnside has rejoined the Army of fhe Potomac. Despatches {rom our correspondents at Port Royal aod Hilton Head, S. C,, dated to the 15th inst., were brought by the steam transport Fulton, which arrived here yes- terday. A detailed and very interesting account of the important exchange of prisoners in Savanvah river, fre- quent mextion of which has been made lately in the Higraip, is furnished. All the rebel prisoners taken down from Fortress Monroe in the fleet of Col, Mulford, Union Exchange Commissioner, were first to be trans- ferred to the authorities at Savanoah, This, it was thought, would be concluded by Thureday of this woek, and thea Colonel Mulford was to begin receiving the re- leased Union soldiers, in all about ten thousand. It is understood that the Colonel has negotiations in Progress for the exchange of a large number of prisoners at some point on the Mississippi. Eight Union officers, who escaped from the rebel prison at Columbia, South Carolina, arrived at Hil- ton Heid on Monday last, after a necessarily stoaithy pilgrimage across the State, during which they suffered great privation and fatigue, These, though, they seom to huve counted lightly, when weighed against what they had to endure in their confinement. They confirm the worst of previous accounts regard. ing the inhuman treatment which imprisoned Union sol. iors receive from the rebels, One of these escaped o’.eers, who was a witness of the Fort Pillow maseacro, says the Heratn’s account of the horrible affair was very accurate. General Foster, commanding the Department of the South, im an official order, gives the results of the investigation into the causes leading to the fallure of the attack of our forces on Forts Jobnson and Simpkins, in July last. “The chief cause of failure” is said to have beea “tbe lack of spirit, energy and power of command on the part of subordinate officers,” as the expedition was well planned, The Richmond Ezaminer of last Wednesday ao- mouaces the safe arrival of the rebel privateer Talla- hassee at Wilmington, N.C, after her escape from the blockading steamers which were in pursult of ber off the Nort b Carolina coast on the 7th tnst, Full accounts of the chase of the Tallahassee were given in the Huraxp of the 10tb and 11th inst , and her escape from ber pursuers was announced by us on Wednesday of this week.

The steamship Montezuma arrived hore yesterday from Kingston, Jamaica, whieb place she left on the 9th inst. but brought little news of interest tothe general public. A case of alleved slender was before Judge Davies yes- terd»y tw the Seperior Court, cireuit, damages being laid at two thousand dollars, The plaintiff, named Dire, charged the de‘endant, Shumirjean, with having called him a thief avd robber, and libelled him in certain aM- davite m the Court of Common Pleas, Evidence was given to show that defencant bad loaned plaintiff moaey for the purpoze of manufacturing champagne, and that large quantities of this sparious article, claimed to be equal to the geruine, are made {in this country. The plaintiff rece:ved aqgerdict for fifty doliare, An important case was tried yeatorday in the United States Circuit Court, before Judge Nelson, It was ao action to recover am excess of duty paid on a cargo of teas ip April last. The defendant, as Collector of the Port, levied s duty of twenty cents a° pound on the tea, which was paid under protest, the action of de fendent being based upon the act of Congress, supposed to have been passed December 24, 1861. The plaintiff claimed that only fifteen cents a pound were jnstty due |* according to the act of Congress of the 6th of August, 1641, and contended that the act of Decomber was ia- valld, there being no yelir named ag tho date of its pas- sage. The decision was reserved. The whole of, yesterday was occupied in the Court of General Sessions inthe trial of John Conner, Thomas Scully$ and Dennis Ebean, who were jointly indicted for Assauiting officer John Arnoux, of the Eighteonth Precinot,on the 29th of August, on the corner of Nino- teenth street and Firstavenue, The complaioaut and a large number of policemen were witnesses, from whose testimony {it appeared that Arnoux was atrack soveral times on the head with a hatched by (Conner) one of the defendants, He gavo the alarm and soon officers came to his assistance, who, after eearching for a short time, found the defendants in a room ina tenement house moar the scene of the difculty. After the summing up of Arsistant District Hutchings the jury at late hour im the afternoon rendered. verdict of guilty of assault And battery with intent] to do bodily harm against all tho defendants. They were on bail, and,on motion of Mr. Hutchings, they were committed to prison till next Wednesday, when Judge Russel will pass sentence. Mr. Spencer, on the rendition of the verdict, stated that he could furnish the Court with proof of the entiro in- nocence of Scully, who was not concerned in the attack upon the officer. Mr. Fullerton, a member of the bar, tt will be remem- bered, was committed by Surrogate Tucker last May for an alleged contempt of court. Mr. Fullerton wss soon fter discharged from imprisonment by babeas corpus by Judge Garvin, of the Buperior Court, whose decision has been taken up te the Supreme Court, on certiorari, by the Surrogate. Meanwhile Mr. Fullerton has sued Surro. gate Tucker for ten thousand dollars dx:mages for the ar. Test, to which sult the latter interposes a demurrer, Claiming that as the committal was a judicial act he is Bot responsible for it in damages, The demurrer wos urged yesterday before Judge Cardozo, in the special term of the Common Pleas. who reserved bie decision.

The cause or causes of this effect have puzzled the uninitiated in the mysteries of Wall street; but it is supposed that an impression among the buils and bears, lame ducks and spread eagles, that peace movements are on foot at Washington has bad much to do with this de- cline in gold. Whatever may be the fact, we are happy to believe that President Lincoln is favorably impressed with the idea of a liberal offer of peace to the leaders of the rebellion, and that the peace movement suggested by General Butler will probably soon be tested in a peace commission to Richmond.

It ie said that these individuals have been carrying on a heavy burioess for a considerable time witbout oither baving licenses, paying taxes or making any returos, The value of the property inyelved, and which will be confiscated if the charges are proved, one-half going to the informer, is about a ‘million dollars. Tt ts stated that the proprietors have been arrested and that their ostablishments have Deen seized. The case of the alleged extensive forgeries .oupposed to amount altogether to considerably over two hundred thousand dollars, was again under investigation in the ‘Tombs Police Court yesterday. The evidence of one of the arrested persons, George F. Coughlin, was continued and concladed. It is very interesting. A Philadeiphia police officer mppeared jin court with four additional checks, involving about ten thousand dollars, and asked for a detention of the four prisoners, on the suspicion of being the individuals who bad drawn the monty on them. Patterson, O'Brien and Garadier were arraigned and formally examined, all three Pleading not guilty, No other testimony but that of Coughlin wae taken, an adjournment being granted til! ten o'clock to- day to enable the defendants’ counsel to prodnce their witnesses, In the Sapreme Court, Chambers, yesterday, Judge Clerke istued an attachment ageinst Ppencer Tow tur, one of men charged with being connected with these forgeries, at the suit of the Messrs.

It is represented that the rebel chiefs have recently admitted that slaves already free are to remain free, and that for the continuance of the war on their part they have indicated their readiness to abolish slavery; and that it is assumed that thus ‘the great bone of contention is virtually removed.” Mr. Lincoln, it is inferred, may accordingly now make an offer of peace with some confidence that it will be accepted at Richmond; and we are promised, from an intel- ligent quarter, that this experiment will soon be tried. From the hints thrown out from Washington, however, through various channels in regard to slavery, we conjecture that the termg of Peace which President Lincoln contemplates submitting to the rebel authorities at Rich- mond rest upon that ultimatum submitted “to whom it may concern,” at Niagara Falle-the abolition of slavery. We guess that the propo- sition made to Holcombe, Clay, Sanders and Company last summer is the rod Iaid up in piokle for Jeff. Davis; that if a committee of peacemakers go from Washington to Richmond they Will propose the return to the Union of the rebellious States on liberal terms in every other reapect, but requiring as the one indis- baabitants of the city were fleeing in dismay, That such tm rumor may have been afloat in that place, and caused wonsternation among the people, is possible; but Sher- ‘wan had not had time at that date to be anywhere near Yenat town.
