Afternoon Report.
Charles Anderson Arrived.
News from Mexico.

New York, Dec. H.
Mr.. Charles Anderson and family ar
rived on the Columbia He is brother
OF Gen. Robert Anderson, and escaped
from the hands Of the rebels at San An
tonic, and walked to Monterey, Mexico.
He was treated with great Kindness by
the Mexicans. He sailed on the British
steamer Clyde to Havana. He reports
that though British subjects whom he
met were violently indignant at the sci
xure of Mason and Slidell on the Trent,
he and family were treated with kind
ness. Anderson's 5 family was sent origi-
nally by the rebels to the Mexican from
tier, while he was held as a prisoner of
war.
The Clyde met the Spanish feet and
army within BIZ hours sail of Vera Cruz,
with fine weather. The Mexicans were
daily expecting the allied feet. The
general feeling appeared to be hatred of
Spain. All ieuds were giving way to a
sentiment of united resistance to the COM
mon enemy, and the frequent remark was
if the Spaniards came alone they would
be heartily welcomed. No resistance,
however was to be made at Vera Cruz or
Tampico The guns of the Castle Of
San Juan d't lna were being carried in
ward. If Mexican symptoms can be
trusted determined resistance will be
made to any Spanish invasion.

Exchange of Prisoners
W orld's Dispatch.
Washington, Dec.

Washington, Dec. 10.
The question Of the exchange Of pris-
oncrs seems to be fairly settled. The New
York Executive Committee had several
lengthy and interesting interviews with
the President. Glen. Mcclellan, and Sena-
tors and members of the House, all Of
whom favor it, The Committee inter
view with Gen Mcclellan was especially
gratifying. lie spoke of the subject
briefly but warmly, and from his conver.
sation had evidently given the subject
much study. The Military COMMITTEES
in both Houses have reported favorably
on the subject and joint resolution which
passed the House requesting the Presi
dent to make an exchange will pass tn,
Senate tomorrow. An exchange ha'
been practically going on. Thirty pris
oners we're sent from here yesterday Il
Fort Monroe and large numbers hav,
been released from Fort Warren.

From Washington.
I Special to the Chicago Tribune. ]

Washington, Dec 3.
There has been discussion in the SEN
ate, to-day. concerning military disasters,
on a resolution for committee to inquire
into the general conduct of our campaign,
offered by Mr. Fessenden. The debate
was participated in by himself, Grimes,
Wilson. Sherman and others. 1t was un-
commonly earnest and interesting. Mr..
Sherman contrasted the sacrificing
energy of the country with the supineness
and lukewarmness In Government quar-
ters here. Mr. Wilson referred to the
elaring contradictions in the proclama-
tions of Generals commanding different
corps Of the army, and the lack of a CON-
mon system or policy. lie thought the
campaign IN South Carolina the worst
chapter in the war Allagreed that there
had been bundering somewhere.
The majority Of the House for Mr..
Loyeioy's motion was smaller than it
would have been had another made it.
Secretary Chase said, in response to a
toast at dinner given by the Union Club
of New York, that the blackest negro in
South Carolina, though black as mid
night, in his eyes is whittier than the
whitest rebel. He was vehementy cheer
ed BY the company, among whom was
VIM b. Astor.
A Br;gadier General o.day remarked
that the army of the Potomac was trying
the exhaustive process, not for the ex
haustion of the rebels, but for the Trea-
sury.

The country would cry out universally ia
good riddance,' ia great deliverance, "
"a consummation most devostly wished. y
Then the country would begin once more

From Santa Fe.
Kansas CITY, No,

Kansas City, Nov. 10.
The Santa Fe and Carson City mail ar
rived last night with dates To the 24th OF
November.
All the merchants Of the Territory are
required by order of Col Candy to turn
over their money to Messrs Donaldsons
of Santa Fe as a loan to the Government.
!, On the 18th ult. band Of Navajo In
dians went to Carols, near Albuquerque,
and stole large quantity Of stock. A
party of citizens started in pursuit for the
purpose OF recovering the property, bnt
six of the men having got in advance OF
the Others fell into an ambush and We're
killed. The rest Of the party being too
few in number to continue the pursuit
were compelled to return, leaving the In
dians to carry off their booty.
In the vicinity of Albuquerque the
same Indians have been committing dep
relations ON large scale. 1t is under
stood that Col Candy is about to change
the system heretofore pursued for holding
the Indians in check. Instead of keeping
the troops collected at one post, he will
divide them into companies and station
them at convenient polnts on the frontier
from which they can make rapid pursuit
after Indians when they commit rohberies.
Measures are being taken to establish a
mail route between Santa Ee and Denver
City BY connecting link of 40 miles
from Colorado to Fountain City the route
would be complete.
1t is said that Mcssrs. Roberts 4 Co.,
contractors for carrying the mail from In
dependence to Santa lie. intend putting
coaches on that part of the road. When
the facts are laid before the l.. q. Dep,
and every effort is made for its success,
with the aid ofthe Pacific Telegraph from
Denver City, Santa Fe will be placed with.

The Secretary of the Navy is quite as
radical on the subject of using the slaves
of rebels in his department as the Secre-
tary Of War was in his report to the Pres-
dent. Whether Secretary Wclles es-
caped q modification" because of his In
significance or the brevity of his remarks
does not appear. The following extract
from his report shows very conelusively
that he occupies the same platform with
Mr.. Cameron
"ln the coastwise and blockading duties
of the Navy, it has not been unfreque mt
that fugitives from insurreetionary places
have sought our ships for refuge and pro-
lection; and our naval commanders have
applied to me for instruction as to the
proper disposition which should be made
Of such refugees My answer has been
that, if insurgents, they should be hand
ed over to the custody Of the Govern
ment; but if, on the contrary. they We're
free from any voluntary participation in
the rebellion and sought the shelter and
protection of onr flag, then they should
be cared for and employed in some use
ful manner, and might be enlisted to serve
on our public vessels or in our Navy
Yards, receiving wages for their labor. If
such employment could not be furnished
to all by the Navy, they might be refer
red to the Army; and if no employment
could be found Tor them in the public ser
vice, they should Be oNo,ced TO proceed
freely and peaceobiy 'cithom restraint 70

be the whole required duty, in the premi'
ses, of our naval officers"

EDITOR GATE CITY: The city as is full
of people as ever saw it. Every place
is full. Iowa is fully represented, and ]
am happy to say that, so far as ! can see
or hear, the State has no reason to be
ashamed of her representatives here, in or
out of Congress. Among the mere look
ers-on, are d. W. kilbourne, Charles
Mason, Gen Van Antwerp, DR.. Potts,
and Hawkins Taylor, that now recollect.
Neither one of them is wanting any office
they are not of that kind, but are here for
the benefit of Iowa and the country gen
orally. Gen, Van Antwerp was to-day
appointed an Aid to Gen. Halleek. The
General can be of great service to the
Iowa troops, and doubtless will be.
The stranger here will see two great
changes in Washington since year ago.
Then, the only sign Of war was the drunk

diers, but the Senate is purified, and | am
