Cores pot Gence OF The Associated Press
NHwBRnS, N. e.. Wednesday Jan. I'll, 1853.
Newspapers received here from the interior indi-
cate that the Rebels greatly exercised about the
concentration of the military and naval forces in this
Department, aud much mystihed "a 10 its objects.
The testimony Of refugees recently arrived within
our lines is, that Notwithstanding their plucly
demonstrations, and their determination to fight
desperately the Rebs are nearly disheatteBed, and
frequently confess their inability to hold out much
longer without foreign Intervention.
Recent experiments nj Washington, N. O., with n
submarine torpedo invented by Chief Engineer Lay,
L. s. Navy, attached to the gunbost Louisiana,
proved enli.ely suceessful, and demonstrated tie
great value Of the invention, which is simple and
cheap Of construction and certain TO explode under
water after any length Of time.
The President Is to DO memoralized for the re-
moval OF Gov. Sianly, and tor the abolition Of the
Office, which is regarded mere worse than nse!sss
and not only produces good results, but Is nlsde
the warrant for the exercise o. arbitrary power "
totally incompatible with republican liberty and
