NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The New York Express has reports
via Virginia to the effect
That terms of mediation have been
submitted to the Confederate Govern
ment by England and France. One
proposition, they say; is, that the Bor.
her States shall again be allowed to
vote upon the question of remaining in
the Union. Those which vote with the
South are to 60 with the South and
form part of the Southern Confeder-
acy. Those which cast their votes with
the North are to remain in the Federal
Government.
Maryland and Delaware are to be
allowed to vote again, and if they go
with the South, Washington is to be
delivered up to the Southern Confeder.
acy. TIE expenses Of the war are to
be borne by the North alone. The
Mississippi is to be free to all the ma
tons of the earth.

pose Of enforcing the penalties:
STATE OF NEW YoRk, BAsk DEPARTMENT.,

Ira Shafer, Eeg, District Attorney:
The nu1nesous and constantly increasing II
o]ations OF the Law against ts unsuthor1zed
banking," which exist in olr midst, would
seem to call for the intervention Of the public
anti olities.
The action Of the corporation Of this city,
in authorizing the Issue Of notes in It's name,
representing fractional pazss Of dollar, found
an apology In the inconven nience resulting
from the withdrawal OF silver coin from circu-
lation. Being the act Of a municipal body, 1t
held out an assurance againBt ultimate le55
through a failure to redeem the currency Is
sued.
But this example is now being Initiated BY
private individuals, and each day adds to the
number Of those WAo are violating the lAW, ,and
Increasing the h0zsrds Of the community By
issuing notes to circulate as money, without
the security prescribed bylaw for their ula-
mate redemption.
Uraer these circumstances, am but fulfill
ing public duty In calling upon you TO en-
force the pensltics prescribed against those
who shall continue, after due notice, to make
the interests Of the public subordinate to pri-
vatc cupidity. Respectfully ,your ob't SIT

The New Orleans correspondent Of the New
York Tri5unc gives the following account Of
an interview with the wife Of Gen. Bragg:
In The vicinity Of Thiboaeaux is situated
the plantation of Major General Braxton
BIsgg. It, Of course, attracted the attention
Of our soldiers, and his negroes seemed to
their master stood to the national troops. As
our soldiers advanced, Lieut., Col. Warner, Of
the 18th Connecticut, received 8 word from
Mrs. Brsgg, that she would like to have
guard to protect her property. This request
was promptly complied with; and when Col.
were pacing quietly before the door Of the
mansion. They had, however, arrived too
late to eaYe the property entire. The negroes
had taken adVantsge Of the opportunity 70
break open the closets, 1nTade the bureaus,
rip open tho feather and moss beds N searsn

she was married, aud few women were

Warner suggested that it Has sad time; the

Yankees were intrudeTs and invaders Of the
South.'' The Colonel replied, in courteous
1areuage, tat be could not understand his
position IN that Light, and incidentally Re-
marked that, as an old friend Of Gen. Bragg's,

An Eastc1n contemporary preaches
lc11ily On the rise Of the mania for specu-
la.ion which is the expected consequence Of
tie Increase i'll TIC volume Of paper money;
era SIS a,, illustration cf what may be
feared in New fo1k, says t1lat ihe people
Of the West arc already renewing thcir
experiences Of 1866 and '5G, and are
plunging reck;cssly into debt for real
est;itc IN the rural districts and corner lots
in the cities, only 10 be by and by over
whelneu and ruined by the load that they
arc now cllec1fully assuming. This is
grave mistake. The abundance of money
in the West is driving many people to real
estate, hoti,in towns and in the country, for
safe investment; and there is consc-
quently q very sensible and welcome
appreciation in the prices Of I'll landed
property; but NC Gssure all in the East
who ale Interested directly or coilaterally
in the business OF really Of this corner Of
the Union, that the oil n: tAoa Of buying

ncwed. Nearly all the ssfes in Chicago,
and thty arc latterly many, a:c made Tor

Hence, Ehilc thc activity il property is

there jslit!le speculation Men are buying

to sell again. These being the facts, our
contemporary will see that the Wholesome
lear Of debt, excited by the cycnts Of 1857
and the subsequent years, has not died ous

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

The cxu1tation Of the pro-slavcry men
over the assumed fact that the Richardson's,
Aliens, Woods and the like will be in a
msjo1ity in the next Congress, is probably
premature. The political complexion Of
that body is by no means decided; it de-
penis upon elections yet to be held; and
NOW that the Administration is eYincing
the vigor which promises a triumph over
its enemies in the field, we may hope that
it will give some attention to the struggle
with its not less dangerous opponents at
home, We do not mean that it is author
ized to interfere byits appolntees with clec-
tons, By any means whatever; but that it
shall sec and so shape its policy as to con-
vince all men that the safety Of the country
is identical with support Of the President.
It may be done; and the threats, not yet
si1cnced, that the new Congress shall meet
in New York without the sanction of any
law, and in violation Of oil precedent and
usage assume the provisional control Of
the Republic, make the necessity for doing
it lnperatiyc.

In TIE FIELD, Nov. 20, 1852.
Yesterday scouting party was sent out
from the front. Company a, Capt. Dikeman,
Sd Michigan, which penetrated into the enc
my's country as far as Salem, small town
fifteen miles to the southeast Of us. The I'M
mediate occasion Of the scout was to demon
strate the correctness Of the report that
Faulknef's cavalry we're gathering in that VII
lage, and, secondly, to obtain what horses and
mules might be laying around loose in rebel
dom. We started at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing, and by taking a by-path pointed out to
us by slave who had been brought up in the
neighborhood and knew every part Of the
ground, We managed to reach the vicinity Of
Salem without being observed.
When two miles distant, three rebel citizens
came up to our rear under the pretense Of
putting up the fences after us, but evidently
to watch our movments. Of course, these men
were promptly taken into custody, and COM
PEELED, much against their inclinations, to az
company the column.
Arriving at Salem, ne first paid our respects
to pair Of mules belonging to Capt. Hamer,
of the rebel army, atser which we entered the
town on the run, TO the great astonishment Of
the eobcr inhabitants. The town is Of no &C.
count, INTELLECTUALLY. a country tavern, an
apothccary shop with good collection Of
empty bottles, . store destitute Of goods, q
post office minus letters and postmaster, q
preacher, church, and 8 few negroes and wo-
men, constitute the sum total Of items Of In
terest in Salem.
Hastily posting pickets upon the several
reads leading into town, en- examination was
made Of the several stables In the Village, re-
sulting IN the collection Of half dozen ser
viccable animals, belonging to rebel soldiers.
From Salem ne went to the house Of Col.
Leake, who is now in Virginia On some busi-
ness connected with the Confederate govern
ment.
The commander visited the house, and init
| mated that "1nilitary necessity" existed
! that dinner should be improvised for the
| command. The eervRnt in charge ungra-
ciously complied with the request, aud called
ominous sounds in the poultry yard, and soon
an excellent dinner OF chicken aud corn cake
| was smoking upon the table, and eaten with
an appetita to which denizans Of the city un-
acquainted with the effects Of horseback
ride of twenty miles, are utter strangers.
One Of our prisoners had fourteen mules,
and the Captain generously returned him tFo.
The sbatancc will aid Uncle Sam in his war
iEc operations In this vicinity. The net
results Of the scout were "nary" rebel,
tWen1y-Nve mules, and SIX horses.

7este,day morning to make reconnaissance
towards Holly Springs, with . view to dis
cover if the enemy were present in any cons!d
