10 NEW aYoRk, Dec. 8.-The Richmond
WING of the Sd talks in the following plain
fashion: sWith no other motive or thought
than to advance the public interest we
would again suggest to the President the
advantage of reconstruction in his cabinet
and calling to his aid the very ablest intel
lects of the country. We have depart
ment State that has not been able Tor nearly
three years to establish relations with any
other of State; q treasury departmentthat has
failed to keep its finances from running to
ruin; q war department in the hands Of q
chief whose studies and course OF life has
been purely and peculiarly civic; navy de-
partnent without navy; q post Office de.
partment with very Stacking system OF
mails and department of justice vacant.
The business of its department especially
shows the want of more mastery hand
and the united powers and their chiefs IN
the cabinet council, if councils are ever
held, fail to supply the quanrum OF wisdom
the council needs. We are getting to deep
waters and feeling of dread is shaking the
souls of th e people. There is nothing the
President can do that vii! so reanimats their
hearts and stimulate their confidence in an
affection for him, as the calling to his side
as his daily advisers, Q cabinet ofthe wisest
truest and most experienced men in the
country regardless Of what may have been
their political associations. The time is
propitious, the occasion urgent and the peo'
pie apxiously expectant for his own con-
tinuency and capacity for usefulness and
! future fame. as we'll as On account of the
sorely necessitious and exigent condition O.
the country, that we earnestly press this
recommendation

Knoxville, Dec. 5-A special to the Tri
bune says: The siege of Knoxville is raised
and Longstreet with his army is in full re
treat towards Virginia. 1t virtually ter
minated yesterday, when at an early hour
the advance guard Of our reiuforcements
under Gen. Sherman arrived.
The enemy during the past few days kept
up an active show of intention to prolong
the siege or renew the assault but early
this morning when reconnaissance was sent
out by Gen. Fiero, they found their works
empty. A few deserters were brought in
who report the main body moved off after
dark last night, leaving the rear guard and
pickets in their rife pits to fall back at z
A. NJ and join the remainder who they told
would form in line OF battle a short dis
lance east of the city. This ruse was to
prevent their premature abandonment Of
their picket line.
Gen. Shacklsford with cavalry is already
in pursuit and close upon theirrear Prison
ers, and deserters are continually arriving
in squads of 10 to 20.
The deliverance and occupation of East
Tennessee is considered finally settled by
events of this campaign.

Nrw YnpK Dee S.-The Tribune's

NEW YORK, Dee. S.-Ine I1pune
special from Washington of the 7th says:
Although the Presidents Message is
ready it is probable that it will not be sent
to Congress before Wednesday, as there is
considerable doubt whether the House will
be ready to receive it before or o'clock
to morrow, by which time the House will
likely have adjourned. The most impor-
tant and interesting portions of the mes
sage are those which deal with the subject
of slavery and referring to the Union OF
the States that have been In rebellion. In
what the President says regarding the Tor
mer topic he considers as an accomplished
fact that the former Proclamation has lib
Grated the slaves within the territory which
it embraces and all future action must be
based upon that suppositlon. In wore
the President does not and will not adopt
policy which fails to give the slave YES
tige right in himself. The plan Mr.. Lin
coin proposes for the restoration of the
loyal people of truant States to their former
position in the Union is represented to be
purely is own and his unlike any now before
tho public Not combining himself to the
general outlines he enters with some minute
ness into the details in another part OF the
message. The President alludes to the
victories gained during the year over the
rebels and deals at some length upon the
progress and the present aspect and
prospect Of the war.
The bill creating an Office, of which no
tice was given to-day by Mr.. Washburne,
of ILL.,, is intended to give General Grant

tories are generally thought to entitls him
