opportunity offers, display the same ability in
the field that he has shown in the m Management OF
our affairs as military governor, and win fol-
himself an envIable reputation.
Gen. Martindale, who has been acting as
military governor during the absence Of Gen
Wadsworth, viii now probably be appointed

THE NORFOLK CONGRESSIONAL DIsTRIcT.-ln
a printed address (Dec. o. to the voters of this
district, urging them to elect representative
10 the present Congress, Gen. Dix says:
"The Government of the United States has
thought proper TO visit with heavy forfeitures
those who continue in hostility to 1t. # is in
your power TO avert all these consequences Of
the war waged against the Constitution and the
Union. Your own separate action is all that
| Is needed to turn these evils from your own
doors. It is not necessary that other portions
of your State should participate with you in a
recognition of the authority of the Government.
| You may organize In your Congress district,
and by electng member to the House of Rep
resentatves in time to take his seat by the 1st
of January next, you may resume your place In
the Union with the full enjoyment Of all your
right as citizens of the United States. To en-
able you TO do SO an election will be immedi'
ately ordered. If, by abstaining from the ex'
ercise of the elective franchise, the election
| shall be defeated, the result will he regarded al
a determination on your part not to recognize
| the authority of the Government, and as volun
tarily counting the penalties Of disloyalty."
BY the "mll enjoyment Of all your rights as
citizens of the United States" Gen. Dix, as Ii
apparent from the context, means nothing more
or less than the sacred constitutional" right o.
holding negro slaves. 1t is precisely that which
he promises, as the most efficient bribe, 10 in
duce the virtuous people of the Norfolk distric
TO vote for a member of Congress. The tempta
ton will be strong, If not irresistible.

Last night, about nine O'Clock, the steamer
George weems, from Aqua Greek, arrived at

Brig. Gen. Gibbon, wounded In the hand by
piece Of q shell.
Brig. Gen. Kimball, of Indiana, wounded In

struck the handle of his pistol by his side,
breaking the wooden portion in pieces, and
wounding him also.
Major Bardwell, 10th Pa; wounded in the
left hand. It was thought amputation would
be necessary, but there is hope of saving the
hand. .... ...

placing any reliance upon the rumor that Gen.
Banks Is at Harrison's Landing. The story is
evidently bogus, as had Banks expedition gone
to that point his transports would have been
seen in the river some days since. We see no
reason to suppose that Banks is going to co.
operate in the reduction of Richmond or In aid
Of Burnside. Indeed, we believe that his desti.
nation Is quite different field.

THERE WAS AN OFFICER at the Metropolitan,
last evening, late from the scene of strife at

of Saturday. We did not learn his name and
we were 10th to believe his stories.

sERMoS OF REV. Mr.. FRENCH.-As will be
seen, our reporter gives sketch of the sermon
preached by this gentleman at the Capitol yes
terday. 1t will be read with interest.
There was a little too much OF the negro in
1t to suit certain shoulder-strapped gentlemen,
and others, clerks In some of the departments,
and they manifested their disapprobation by
leaving the hall in high dudgeon. The pro-sla-
very sensitiveness of these gentlemen was ap-
parent TO all. They, probably, never consider
that they owe their present position of good
luck to the negro, for had 1t mol been for him
they would, probably, never have got above
their level-the circle of boot-blacks. The ne
gro has enabled them 10 put Government money
in their pockets, 10 spend In idleness about our
hotels, and in places Of questionable repute.-
1t was meet that they should show contempt
for the humane sentiments expressed by the
| preacher.
