WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-The attention of
the President and more prominent men,
bers Of the Cabinet and other gentlemen
has been largely given OF late to the consid-
Grafton of the important questions connect
ed with the recall to the Union of the tru-
ant Southern States, several of which may
soon be knocking at the door. The precise
course to be adopted is not yet determined.
Several theories claim the Presidents ear,
but he is himself engaged in maturing a
practical plan by which to receive reunion
upon the only practicable basis-the basis
of freedom and equality before the law for
all. Recent utterances of the President,
and instructions to recently commissioned
representatives of the Government in dis
tricts OF the south now in our possession,
leave no doubt that the policy of the admin
istration to permit none Of the vagrant
States to come back with a slave constitu-
ton is fixed. The present discussion re-
lates to the ways and means of effecting
this result.
NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-The Posts Wash
ington letter says the War Department has
advices from Burnside to-day, and it is
stated in official circles that they are en-
couraging, and that no fears for his safety
need be entertained.
The Army of the Potomac is still moving
southwards. 1t reoccupies Waldron c. II.
to-day, which looksvery much like flank
movement. Porter went down last night.
Our cavalry has already, it is said, got in
the rear of Lees forces. No doubts are felt
in the minds of intelligent men, as to the
result of an engagement between Meade
and Lee.
There were fears entertained for Burn
side at the War Department, but they are
no longer felt.
The Posts correspondent says: General
Banks entered Brownsville on the 9TH with
q small force. The rebels had burned the
old U. S. barracks there and large amount
OF property and part of the town and
plundered all they could and fled on the
4th. Our prospects are good, but Banks
needs 10000 or 1900 more troops. The
people are generally favorable to the Union.
The Mexican General Cabs, who was
refugee in Brownsville, on the 9th was
called upon by the civil authorities to Or
game the citizens to arrest the plundering
OF the rebels and prevent the conflagration
After the entrance of Gen. Banks, he, with
his force, advanced to Matamoras and
drove out Ruiz, who was unfavorable to
the United States and sought refuge in
Brownsville and hoisted the French flag.
The following day Cabs was attacked bv
Ruiz party and Cabbs shot. Ruiz was
again reinstated, but was again forced to
fly. Cortunan has seized Matamoras and
has issued pronunciamento establishing
the Mexican Constitution of 1857. Gov.
Fenno, of Janaz, is to command. Ruiz is
again in Brownsville. Cortunan has shown
his friendship for the Union by lending
three very valuable steamers to General
Banks.
On the night of the 18th another revolu-
ton was expected in Matamoras, but it
failed to come off. Part of our forces were
ordered to cross to protect the American
Consurs residence ID

rebel front to ascertain our position. A
force OF infantry crossed short distance
below Raccoon Ford and attempted to cut
off the LIST Michigan Cavalry, but Mai
Brewer discovered, them but before an at
tack could be made. The enemy crossed the
