that its credit never stood higher;. that the funded
debt is rapidly diminishing; that its principal and
interest have been promptly paid in coin ; that its
public funds are adequate for every proper demand
on them ; that the surplus revenue of the canals
have increased from 900,000 dole. in 1858
to 4,000,000 dole. in 1861, and that taxa-
tion may be largely reduced to the present
year, and this when scarcely less than a quarter
of a million of our people are voluntarily engaged
in the military service of the country. Of such a
State, and with such a record, we may well be
*ad. Would that I could speak thus encourag-
ingly of national affairs, but we may not anticipate
immediate peace. Millions of people, aroused by
imaginary wrongs to fierce passion, cannot at once
return to reason ; their resentment must have time
to cool, and the delusion under which they act to be
dissipated, but the day must surely come when the
people of the South will again own the same sove-
reignty, honour the same laws, and fight under the
same flag. At present we must use the sword ; it
cannot be sheathed until those in rebellion shall lay
down their arms and the Constitution and the laws
have uniform sway."
At the conclusion of Governor Morgan's address,
which was warmly applauded, Governor Seymour
thanked Governor Morgan for the kind expression
of his good wishes, and congratulated him on the
able close of his administration. He then said :

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 14.
The Inman steamship Etna has arrived, with ad-
vices from New York to the 3d.

The New York Journal of Commerce says:—

" The Police Board have been thrown into a state
of consternation by orders from Governor Seymour,
directing all the members to appear at Albany to-
day for trial upon grave charges of official miscon-
duct. The order and its formal charges, copies of
which are also published, were served upon Com-
missioners Acton and Bergen on New Year's-day,
and must have considerably marred the felicity of
that festive occasion. Commissioner Bowen re-
ceived his little surprise to the same effect yester-
day, and may be supposed to bear it with more
equanimity thau his colleagues, as he has the com-
mission of a Brigadier-General to fall back on,
should the charges be sustained and the whole
Board removed, as confidently expected. The Com-
missioners held a meeting yesterday, at which this
new tern in their affairs was anxiously discussed—
with what result is unknown. Ali kinds of rumours
are abroad concerning the policy and plans of the
Board. Some persons, who profess to know, say
that they will pay no attention to the Governor's
order and let their case go by default, taking it for
granted that their removal is a certainty. Others
say that they will throw the whole thing into the
courts, and trust to the ingenuity of able lawyers
to keep their places a little longer. But it is not
worth while to speculate on the probability of any
of these reports in view of the speedy decision which
the Commissioners will be obliged to make upon
the issue before them. The following is a copy of
the Governor's citation :

"I have solemnly sworn to support the Constitu-
tion of the United States, with all its grants, re-
strictions, and guarantees; and I shall support it.
I have also sworn to support the Constitution of the
State of New York, with all its powers and rights,
and I shall uphold it. I have sworn to support the
duties of the office of Governor of the State, and
with your aid they shall be faithfully performed.
These Constitutions and laws are meant for the
guidance of our official conduct, and for your pro-
tection and welfare. The first law recorded for my
observance is that declaring that it shall be the
duty of the Governor to maintain and defend the
Sovereignty of the State.' The most strict injunc-
tion of the Constitution is that the Governor shall
take care that the laws ' are faithfully executed,'
and so help me God they shall be. I will not dwell
on the present occasion on our national affairs. Our
position, as a State, has been happily alluded to by
my predecessor. My views on the subject will be
laid before the L( gislature. While knowing that
my position gives me little control over national
affairs, I yet venture to trust that before the end of
my term of service the country will be again great,
glorious, and united, as it once yeas."

The New York Chamber of Commerce adopted
on the 2d the following resolutions respecting the
Alamama :

"Whereas on the 21st day of October last a state-
ment emanating from Captain Hagar, of the ship
Brilliant, recently burnt at sea by the captain and
crew of the steamer Alabama, was produced to this
Chamber, and a series of r esolutionfa were unanim-
ously adopted, the object of which was to warn the
merchants of Great Britain, in a friendly spirit, of
the evil consequences likely to ensue from a repeti-
tion of such piratical acts from the fitting out in
the ports of Great Britain of other vessels like the
Alabama, destined to plunder and destroy our com-
merce on the high seas, and whereas this Chamber
are led to believe that other vessels have sailed or
are about to sail from Great Britain for the express
purpose of destroying American ships in distant
parts of the world, and in an answer of Earl Rus-
sell to the council of the Liverpool Chamber of
Commerce, is found the following passage, to wit :
`` Sir,—l am directed by Rill Russell to reply
to your letter of the sth inst. respecting the destruc-
tion by the Confederate steamer Alab ,ma of British
property embarked in American vessels and burnt
by that steamer. Earl Russell desires me to state to
you that British property on board a vessel belong-
ing to one of the belligerents must be subject to the
risks and contingencies of war, so far as the capture
of the vessel is concerned. The owner of any Bri-
tish property, not being contraband of war, on
board a Federal vessel captured and destroyed by a
Confederate vessel of war, may claim in a Confede-
rate prize court compensation for such destruction
of property ;' and
" Whereas, action on the part of the Liverpool
Chamber of Commerce, Si far as at present known,
has been limited to a reference to the proceedings
of this Chamber to their counsel, and on the part
of the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for
Trade, to her Majesty's Government, as set forth in
the communication from Mr. Tronsa and Mr. Ten.
nant, secretary of these hon. bodies.
"'Whereas, since the month of October last it has
come to the knowledge of this Chamber that the
Laurette, T. B. Walls, and other ships, have been
captured by the Alabama, and that in the first-
named a considerable portion of the cargo was on
British acco'int, and certified to be such, and under
the hand and f eal of the British Consul ; and,
" Whereas, there is no evidence before this
Chamber to show that in the absence of a recognized
Government of which to demand redress, the British
Government has issued orders to the naval com-
mander of Her Britannic Majesty's ships of war to
run down and destroy the Alabama, as an offender
against the property and honour of Great Britain as
well as an offender against the rights and interests
of humanity ; and

"Whereas, it is alleged that the Alabama is con-
tinually supplied from Great Britain with coal and
ammunition, by means of which she is enabled to
continue her piratical course against American com-
merce, the consequence being to raise the premium
of insurances on American vessels and their cargoes,
and to depress the rate of freights in American
ships, and to transfer our carrying trade to vessels
of other nations, this Chamber is led to the follow-
ing conclusions :

"1. That through the active instrumentality of
the subjects of Great Britain, the so-called Confede-
rate States are furnished with ships, men, arms,
and ammunition, with which to war on the COM-
meree of tie United States.

respectfully, &c.,
Governor Seymour was inaugurated at Albany
on the 2d. He was addressed as follows by
Morgan :
" Governor Seymour,—The oath you have just
taken fulfils the requirements of the constitution
and laws, and again formally invests you with
the high office of Governor of the State of
New York. As such I now greet-you, and tender
to your administration all the support which a pri-
vate citizen can give. Confiding in your ability

only in importance to those of the chief magistracy
of the Unit,d States. A change of administration
here has never taken place at a period so crowded
with vital
in
alevents as now. Fortunately, the duties
are not new to you, and though of the gravest
character, and of the most perplexing nature, yet
in their conscientious
especially isohuosulddischarge you will have the
approbation of all good men. Herein will be your
reward.

departments have been

to
be scrupulously careful in relation whatever con-
cerns the honour or the interest of the State, I
know it will be gratifying for you to be assured

" 2. That without such foreign aid the States in
revolt against the Government of the United States
would be powerless to effect any injury to American
commerce on the high seas.
"3. That this war on American commerce, care
ried on by ships built and manned in Great Britain,
if not rebuked by the British press generally, is not
discouraged by the public sentiment of a once
friendly nation, claiming to be guided by high and
honourable principles, and is not effectually and
thoroughly arrested by the strong will and stronger
arm of the British Government.

" 4. That as a result of the foregoing facts and
conclusions, the merchants of the United States
are subjected in a certain degree to the evils which
would attend a state of war with Great Britain,
and are compelled to witness the carrying trade
of their country transferred from their own vessels
to British bottoms under all the sanctions and
advantages of peace and neutrality to the latter,
while the source of this great peril, threatening to
drive American commerce from the ocean, is of
British origin ; now therefore—

" Resolved, that a committee of ten be appointed
to take into consideration the foregoing, and to re-
port at a special meeting, to be called for the pur-
pose, what !lotion it becomes this chamber to adopt
on the premises."
On the occasion of his recent raid north of the
Rappahannock Gen. Stuart played some queer
pranks with the telegraph. Among other things
be sent a telegram to Quartermaster-Gen. Melgs at
Washington, requesting him to furnish the Confe-
derate army with better mules, as those provided of
late had been of very poor quality. Out in Ken-
tucky Morgan played a somewhat similar trick.
Reaching Mumfordville on Friday of last week, his
operator, a man named Aud, who lately left the
Louisville office, immediately attached his instru-
ment and sent a despatchstated thatM to Gen. Boyle, as if from
Gen. Granger. This organ was in

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 15, 1863.

r the vicinity of Bowling Green, intending making
an attack, and asking fcr aid. Gen. Boyle made
answer that he could not give him any. Gen.
Granger (Morgan) then asked if there were no
troops in Louisville which could be sent to his aid.
Gen. Boyle sent word that there were no troops i❑
Louisville at all. Gen. Granger asked Boyle what
disposition had been made of the troops. Gen.
Boyle told him the force and position of his troops,
spoke of their efficiency, &c , and gave all the in-
formation in regard to them that Morgan wanted.
Moi gan then sent in his own name a polite message
to Boyle, calling him " a bright youth and smart
boy," ending with charaettristic vulgarity. The
operator then sent a love•letter to his sweetheart in
Lexington and a note to the operator at Louisville
to forward, and closed the office he had established.
The War Department had received the following
despatch :

" Headquarters, Cincinnati, Jan. 2.
"Major-Gen. Granger reports that he has received a de-
spatch from Major Foley, commanding an expedition sent
by him to Elk Park, Campbell county, Tennessee, consist-
ing of 250 men of the 6th and 10th Kentucky Cavalry,
stating that on Sunday morning last he surprised a camp
of rebels 350 strong at that place, killing 30, wounding 17,
and capturing 51, without the loss of a man. All their camp
equipage was burnt, and SO horses and a large amount of
arms captured.
"H. G. WRIGHT, Major-General Commanding.
" Major-Gen. Halleck, General-in-Chief."
"Headquarters, Cincinnati, Jim. 2.

Major-General Halleck, G eneral- in- C hief,—l have just
learned from Major-Gen. Granger that Major Stearns, of
the 14th Kentucky cavalry, with 150 men, who were ordered
by him on a scout to ascertain the whereabouts of a large
band of guerillas in the eastern part of Powell county,Ken-
tucky, on the 2Gth ult., after travelling all night over ob-
scure and dangerous bridle paths came upon their camps.
They were preparing to move. Major Stearns dashed upon
them, capturing their leader, a noted guerilla, and 11 men.
The rest, though outnumbering Major Stevens' force, were
utterly routed and escaped into the dense woods, brush, and
mountain gorges. 25 horses and a large amount of clothing
blankets, guns, pistols, &c., that were being transported to
Humphrey Marshall's camp, were also captured.
"H. G. -WRIGHT, Major-General Commanding."
From Cairo we have the following intelligence :
" Cairo, Jan. 2.

" A steamer from below reports that the gunboats accom-
panying Gen. Sherman's expedition have gone up Yazoo
river. At Drumingol's Bluff, 20 miles above the mouth, a
rebel battery was discharged. A severe cannonade followed,
during which the gunboat Benton was struck 16 times, the
shots penetrating. Gen. Sherman's force will debark up
the Yazoo and march to near Vicksburg. A train with sup-
plies would leave Memphis yesterday for Holly Springs.
When Island No. 10 was evacuated lately 69 cannon were
spiked and 10,000 rounds of ammunition thrown into the
river. Jefferson Davis addressed the Mississippi Legisla-
ture at Jackson on the 28th ult."

From Louisville, Kentucky, we have the follow-
ng

" LOUISVILLE, JAN. 1.

"The guerilla Morgan crossed the Cumberland river and
cut off Nashville at Gainsborough and appeared in front of
Mumfordsville on the 27th December. Col. Hobson, of the
18th Kentucky, drove part of his force, killing nine and
capturing 16. Morgan then crossed Green river, above
Mumfordsville, and moved in the direction of Elizabeth-
town, turning the bridge at Beaver Creek and Nolin. He
also destroyed the trestlework at Muldraugh's-hill, and
moved for Rolling Fork. Col. Harlan, c .mmanding the
10th Kentucky, overtook him at Rolling Fork, and attacked
him, killing and wounding a number and capturing a cap-
tain and some privates. The rebel Colonel Dull died of his
wounds, as also did one of our lieutenants of arti.lery.
Col. Harlan crossed, pursued, and attacked Morgan at Rol-
ling Fork and the Salt River Bridge. This is the first in-
stance, I believe, of infantry routing and attacking cavalry.
Morgan fled before Harlan to Bardstown, and from there
attempted to escape between Lebanon and Camp Belleville.
Col. Hoskins, of the 12th Kentucky, commanding there,
attacking him this morning, kill.ng a number and captur-
ing 90 of his men, and capturing his caissons and ammu-
nition waggons. Morgan is flying precipitately. General
Reynolds marched from Glasgow yesterday for Greens-
burg, and may intercept bim. Col. Hulsey, of the 6th Ken-
tucky Cavalry, was killed. Our casualties are not yet re-
ported, Morgan has paid dearly for what he has done.
" January 2.

" Colonel Hoskins, of the 12th Kentucky Regiment,
commanding the Federal Forces at Lebanon, Kentucky, at-
tacked the guerilla Morgan south of the Columbia road yes-
terday, killing and wounding several, and capturing 60 of
his force, together with their caissons, ammunition wag•
gone, and provisions. Colonel Halliday, of the 6th Ken-
tucky Regiment, Lieutenant-Colonel Boyle, commanding
9th Kentucky Cavalry, with the 6th Kentucky Infantry,
are in pursuit of Morgan. The infantry are under Colonel
Hoskins. Morgan is retreating very rapidly in the direc-
tion of Columbia. Major Foley, commanding 175 of the
18th Kentucky Cavalry, surprised 350 rebels in camp at
Elk Fork, Campbell county, killing and wounding 17, cap-
turing 51, burning all their camp equipage, capturing 80
horses and a large amount of arms. The report that 15,000
rebels crossed the Cumberland last Monday and were
moving towards Louisville is discredited at headquarters."

The siege of Vicksburg has been re-commenced.
The Richmond papers of the 31st contain the fol-
lowing :
" Vicksburg, Tuesday, Dec. 30, 1862.

" On Saturday the enemy made four desperate attempts
to fore,. our lines on the Chickasaw Bluffs, with heavy loss.
The 17th Louisiana greatly distinguished itself, repulsing,
unaided, the assault of three full regiments of Yankees. On
Sunday morning the enemy again advanced on our lines,
and were repulsed with heavy loss. All the troops behaved
gallantly, but special mention is made of the 28th and 17th
Louisiaaa Regiments, the former regiment maintaining the
ground all day against superior forces. Our loss on Sunday
was one killed and two wounded ; Bth Tennessee, four killed
and six wounded, Captain C A. Gently among the killed ;
17th Tennessee, two killed and two wounded ; 81st Ten-
nessee, one killed, none wounded. One of General Lee's
couriers had his leg shot off. Vioofford's Artillery lost
one sergeant killed. No particulars of the casualties in
other regiments. On Monday afternoon 8,000 of the
enemy advanced upon our regiments on the right wing of
the Chickasaw Bayou to storm the works, but were mowed
down in largo numbers, and upwards of 400 prisoners
taken, with five stands of colours.—The enemy were driven
back to their boats, and afterwards sent in a flag of truce
for permission to bury their dead, under which some of
the prisoners escaped. Fighting still continues with no
important results. The fighting of our troops was splendid.
The 28th Louisiana again immortalised itself for the gal-
lant manner in which it acted during the battle. The
Yankee prisoners say that Morgan is their general com-
manding. Severe fighting is going on now. The enemy
have destroyed the Vicksburg, Shreveport, and Texas Rail-
road as far as Delhi, a distance of 33 miles. They are also
said to have burnt the town of Delhi, which is reported to
be totally destroyed. Our casualties n yesterday's fight
were small. This morning firing is heard in the same direc-
tion, and it is supposed the enemy are again advancing to
storm our works. The soldiers are eager to meet the enemy,
and are determined to conquer or die.
"Knoxville, Dee. 29, 1862.

" The Commissioner's Court is trying for treason Butler,
a member of the Legislature, and A. D. Smith. Great feel-
ing is manifested.
" Mobile, Tuesday, Dec. 30, 1862.
" President Davis and staff arrived here at 3 o'clock this
afternoon.
" The Richmond Dispeck states that there are 1,450
Union prisoners in the Libby ,Prison."
Another vessel of the Banks expedition had been
lost near Chesapeake Bay.
At Norfolk, on the 31st ult., owing to the miscon-
struction of an order issued for a different purpose,
about 200 persons were arrested while returning
from places of amusement. Considerable excitement
was created in Norfolk by a negro celebration. The
contrabands collected together, met their marshals,
formed a procession consisting of at least 4,000
negroes of all kinds and colours, headed by a band
of music (drums and fifes), and paraded through the
principal streets of the city. They carried several
Union flags, and cheered loudly for the downfall of
African slavery. It was understood that they were
celebrating the birthday of the emancipation pro-
clamation.
Advices from Falmouth of the 2d inst., state that
Stuart had succeeded in retiring across the Rappa-
hannock near Warrenton. General Burnside had
returned from Washington. Several contrabands
had come into camp, and were received in accord-
ance with the prolamation.
Captain Wynne, of the British army, had been
arrested at Baltimore on his arrival from Richmond,
on the charge of acting as an emissary of the Con-
federates ; his companion, another British officer,
• •
was not interfered vt proof ith, no sof guilt being
found upon him.

The steamship Constitution left San Francisco on
the Ist inst. with 1,067,000 dols. in specie for Eng-
land, and 398,000 for New York. The increase in

the shipment for England and the decrease in that
for New York were in consequence of the Alabama's
proceedings.
Halifax advices of the 2d state that Admiral
Milne's squadron had not returned to Nassau. The
ships Herald, Leopard, and Kate had run the
blockade into Charleston.
