All the rebel works at Port Cavella

The Rebels Refuse to Receive Supplies
for our Soldiers in Riehmend.

W dSHiuk 'ou, Dec- IL.
The Star has the following:
The Chief of the Bureau of Exchange
of Prisoners, Gen. Hitchcock, received
from General Merideth copy Of letter
addressed on the llth inst. by the rebel
Ould, commissioner of exchange, announ-
cling the determination of the Rebel War
Department hereafter to receive no more
provisions from the north for our prisp-
ners in their hands.
We hear from Fort Monroe that the
persistent villi6cation and abuse with ref
erence to the manner in which the rebel
authorities have carried out their pledges
upon the subject is the reason why they
broke up the arrangement. Ould promi
ses. however. to deliver faithfully all the
supplies in question that had been re.
celyed up to the time the letter was writ
ten, and adds hereafter our prisoners in
their hands will be rationed precisely as
they ration their soldiers in the field.
Without doubt the allegation of villi6
cation and misrepresentation, put forward
as the reason for declining hereafter to
receive supplies, is mere subterfuge,
the real reason being the pressure Of The
jealousy Of the people of Richmond Of the
fact that through the care and iberalty
OF our Government and their friends at
home, the Union prisoners in their hands
were said to be living better than an "
family could live in the rebel capital.

FROM WASHINGTON.


Especial to Tribune.]
Washington, Dec. Is.
Gen SchoGeld is on his way to Wash
ingfon and is expected to arrive tonight
or tomorrow. There is no news that can
be published from the Army Of the Poto-
mac now That the army will again start
for Richmond this winter is highly i'm
probable.
A letter received from naval officer
on board the new flagship, Pensacola, At
New Orleans, states the sailors Of the
menof-war in that harbor are discomfort
ed. 1t seems great many of these sail
ors enlisted for one year and their time
has expired, but the Navy Department.
being pressed for men, is obliged to issue
an order that no sailors be allowed to
come home, even iftheir term has expired,
till relieved by others. This order is
said to be felt very severely by a portion
of our sailors, and the officer fears a
mutiny may be the result.
Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, will introduce to-
day an important bill providing, in accor-
dance with the suggestion of the Presi-
dent s Message and Proclamation, for the
establishment of Provisional Military
Government over the districts Of country
in rebellion, and for authorizing the loyal
citizens of such districts to organize State
Governments. The bill Of Mr.. Ashley
confsrs on the President the power to ap-
point for every district in rebellion Mil
itary Governor, who is to have civil ad-
mnistraton till the State Government
can be formed and Senators and Repre-.
sentatives TO Congress elected. When.
ever the people desire reorganization
of State Government, the Military Gov.
ernor is 10 order an enrolment OF the
loyal electors, and as soon as they will b.
equal TO one-tenth of the votes at the
Presidential election in 1860, the Militar,
Governor shall order an election of mem
bers for State Convention, which shall
be authorized to form a State Govern
ment, provided, it be not repuguant Il
the Constitution Of the United States Of
the Presidents Proclamation of Januar,
lst, 1868, and slavery be forever sbol
ished and prohibited. The new Consti
tuition is to be submitted to the peopl'
aud after its adoption, Senators and Rep
resentatives to Congress may be chosen
All laws or former Constitutions of thes,
