WASHINGTON, Dec. Isth.-The Richmond
and Norfolk papers, of yesterday, have been
received.
The CentreviIle and Fairfax correspon-
dent of the Richmond Dispatch writes, Dec.
18th:
The fortiications around Centreville are
now completed, and present quite fornida-
bic appearance for field Notifications. They
are built very strong, some of the works be-
ing Fashioned forts, constructed in manner
that shows skillful engineering on the part
of some body-Gen. Beauregard, l suppose
The armament of these forts having arrived
from place where they make most excel
lent guns, they have been put into position,
and ell that is now asked is for General
Mcclellan to bring on his Yankees. DIFF
ferent artillery corps are drilling in these
batteries nearly every day. Some have be-
come proficient marksmen all have OBJ
tanned perfectly the range of every point
where hostile battery could be planted.
A series of resolutions have been adopted
by the Legislature Of Tennessee, relating to
the opening of the Southern ports, and re-
commencing hat no crcp ntEcottOn be seed
ed during the ensuing year.
Z. Ii T. Hunter is censured by the cor
respondent Of the Examiner, for wishing to
resign his place in the Cabinet and to avoid
the trials which possibly await the Admin
istratiou. The Examiner says intelligence
apparently better founded than that which
generally finds its way from Washington
has been received of the intention on the
part of the military authorities, of the Uni
ted States, TO make an advance on the lines
of the Potomac and risk another general
engagement, within The next ten days.

WAsHINGToN, Feb. 5.-Col. Hayne in
tended to leave Washington to-day, but
having been informed that the President is
preparing a reply to his communication de-
manding the surrender of Fort Sumter, be
will delay his departure till Wednesday.
The executive department has defined the
position of that state on commercial ar
rangements, regarding it Improbable that the
payment of duties and the clearance of yes
sells will be interfered with by the Govern
ment ut Washington in such a manner as
to render the transaction of business at
Charleston difficult and embarrassing.
The exposition Of the law of nations as
made by the former and present Secretary of
State in the Peru case affecting the YES
sells Georgiana and Lizzie Thompson, is re-
garded rs sound doctrine applicable to
South Carolina, which will permit no inter
fereuce by the Government of the United
States with such regulations as it may
adopt, nor will the authority of the latter
be permitted to be exercised within the
limits of the State. 1t will be for the United
States to impose on vessels of states still
members of this confederacy, such penalties
as it may choose to provide for violations of
its municipal laws.
Wigfall and others have telegraphed to
Montgomery urging the appointment of
Alex. H. Stephens as provisional President
of the Southern confederacy in order to con-
ciliate the Southern conservatives.
The nomination of Judge Petit for the
District of Kansas, has been determined
upon.
Secretary of State Black will probably
soon be nominated as associate justice of
the Supreme Court in place of justice Dan
iel, deceased. s..t.1 .
