REMOVAL OF FL SEAT OF Gov
EMINENT.

A special dispatch fromRichmond to the New
Orleans Delta of the 22d, says that the question
Of the removal Of the government from the pres
ent temporary location al Richmond, some time
mooted in private and political circles, has come
up in Congress on a motion to fix the seat of
government at Nashville. 1t is thought b. some
that this motion has reference to g strategical
purpose. When Richmond, they say, was in
imminent danger Of being captured, and Viz
ginia Of being overrun, the government suddenly
quit Montgomery and went to that city, where
its presence Immediately exercised a most salu-
tay influence. Now, as they conceive, there
may be reason, in view of the drift Of the war in
kentucky and on the Tennessee border, to have
the government at Nashville.

MACON AND sLIpELL AFFAIR.

The New York Herald has already thought il
necessary to apologize for the Lincoln govern
ment. in the Mason and Sidell affair, and endeav-
ors to shift the accountability that will probably
be exacted by England from the head to an I'M
derling- It says that in capturing these gentle
men, " Capt Wilkes acted on his OcH responsible
Ry in ~oYerhauling the British steamer Trent"
Referring to the affair, ii is stated by the Her
old that the Trent was brought to in the usual
manner one ball being fred across her bow she
at once stopped, when two boats eame along
side. Messrs. SlideB and Mason refused to sur

CHATTANOOGA, November 23.-Our scouts
numbering FIVE hundred men, have just returned
from another successful expedition, bringing in
their spoils with them.
They captured fourteen horses, and took one
hundred Lincoln men prisoners. Some Of these
miscreants were found concealed in the dens and
caves ofthe mountains. Holloway, the rufian who
recently killed Col. Anderson, managed to make
his escape by clothing himself in female attire.
Many other incidents amusing, and interesting
occurred, too lengthy to be mentioned by dis
patch.
Col. Looney commanded the scouts, none o.
whom received any injury. j.. C. H.

requisition, and that there is no idea Of abandon
ing the place to the enemy. There are some
soldiers here and hereabouts. The number may
be learned by those who attempt to conquer
them.

brief account Of a battle between the Rojos and
Crinolinos, at Reynosa on the 21st September,
the former being the attacking party, who finally
took the town, killing four or Eve of the Crino-
limos and losing none themselves. The Crinoi-

sentenced to be shot. On the night Of the news,
Mataunoras WAS placed under martial law and
the Rojos ordered under arrest; and they there
fore fed to Brownsville for protection, and were
filing up the city
INDIAN RAvAGEs.-A letter to the Galveston
Meas dated New Fountain, October Oath, says

or eigAt more. They also stole and killed near
three hundred head Of horses.

favor of a speedy recognition Of the independ-

Cabinet, with the exception Of Messrs. Blair,

number was much reduced their captain, a
man named Tully, had been cashiered for insub-
ordination the FIRST lieutenant had resigned, and
as new companies were being recruited, it was

upon the untimely resignation Of this gentleman,
has been misinterpreted by some Of his friends.
1t is proper for Us to state therefore that in pen
ming it, we did not design to reflect upon his
personal integrity, nor to impeach his bravery, as
a soldier. Even those, who condemn his con-
duct, must accord to him the redeeming virtue
of military valor, and all those qualities which
characterize a true friend to the land Of his
