ST. LOFTS, December 8, 1851.
4 gentleman from Rolla states that the Or
der against fugitive slaves entering campis not
observed there, the eolored contrabands being
treated rs strange white persons are, neither
allowed more liberty OF restricted to less. The
blacks, dismissed by Halleck's order, are just
outside the lines, and that is all. They could
easily get in again ifpursued by rebel owners,
Gen. Pope is in command at Syracuse, and
Sherman at scdalia. The latter retains the
gru1 manner noticed in Kentucky.
There was trouble in Col. Ol1nstead's Ger
man Home Guard Regiment, to-day, caused
by an attempt to transfer them to the State
service. There was talk of muttny and several
companies were ordered to load, to represB it.
But tAc difficulty was adjusted by suspension
of the transfer till further investigation.

That some modification has long been
necessary in the system Of the Supreme
Court, las long been felt by prominent ju-
rists and by intelligent men Of all political
creeas. and the recommendation of Mr.
Lincoln, which will inaugurate such desired
Improvement, constitutes one Of the most
important features Of his Message OF
the three several notifications suggested,
the last we think will be most likely to COM
mend itself 10 adoption, dispensing alto
get1er will the Circuit Courts, and leaving
the judicial function wholly to the District
.Cou1t and TO the Supreme Court at the

i MILITARY COURT.

Judge Frcese, at Alexandria, in his ca
pacity Of Provost Marshal, struck the right
vein in the adjudications in his Military
Court touching lawful claims Of loyal
creditors Of rebels. Al that was lacking
was an official sanction Of similar functions
which may thus establish Military Courts
throughout al portions Of Secessia, whcr.
ever The Federal arms extend, and wherever
the rebels themselves have crushed out the
ordinary courts. This temporary substi
tate forms one of the excellent recommen
dat1ons Of the Message.

NAsH1SaToN, December 3, 1861.
AdyiceE from Fortress Monroe bring (: de-
NAL Of the Government dispatches received
from Richmond On Monday, that the rebel
Capital had been removed from Richmond to
Nashville. Spies say that intense excitement
was caused at Richmond by the decision, and
this may hare caused the change in purpose.
There are from 5000 to 10000 troops at
Richmond.
Eight thousand FIVE hundred men from Fitz
John Porter's, Smiths S, and McCall's Divisions
to-day attempted to cut off the body Of about
2,0o0 rebel cavalry who have recently, from
time to time, appeared in the vicinity Of Hun
tcr's Hill, but the rebels had fed Only
small picket force Of about twenty was discoy-
cred.
The bill to be introduced by Senator
Trumbull, of Illinois: provides for abso-
Lutte forfeiture Of all property Of rebels who
are beyond TIC reach of Federal process. All
property in insurrcctionary districts to be
seized and appropriated by the military pow
crs, and that found in the districts where it
can be reached by legal process to be conf5-
Gated through the courts. All the proceeds
of property confiscated, after payment Of cx-
pense, and just claims Of loyal creditors, to be
applied TO the reimbursement Of loyal citi-
zens despoiled Of theirproperty by the rebels,
aud the balance to paying the expenses OF
supprcssing inEurrection.
The rebel owners Of slaves arc to forfeit all
their rights to them, Meacgroes to become free,
| and it is made the duty Of the President to
provide for their colonization SO far as they
may be willing to go in some tropical country,
where they can have the protection Of the
I Government, and be secured in their rights as
frcemen.
