Another Act of COmspiracy---Am
American Schooner Seized.

New York, December 20.-The steamship
Morning Star arrived here tonight from New
Orleans on December 18th, via Havana on
the 18th. She brings 100000 in specie and
100 bales of cotton. Among her passengers
are General W ethel, accompanied by Captain
Fred L. Smith, and Lieutenants Groves and
Fitch, who have been transferred to General
Buffers department, in compliance with the
wish of the latter General.
The Morning Star also brings as passen-
gers Captain james Nichols, and Walter
Greenough, supercargo Of the schooner Joseph
L. Gerety, which was captured by the pirates
on the second day out from Matamoras.
Captain Nichols reports that he left Mata-
moras Nov. 10th, bound for New York, with
a cargo of cotton and six passengers. On
the night of the 18th, the passengers with
drawn revolvers surprised and imprisoned
the captain and crew and took possession Of
the vessel. Tho pirates after keeping the
crew in confinement for eight days, put all
hands into a small boat, and told them " find
their way to land the best they could. They
landed on the coast of Sisal, after two days
and nights at sea there they got passage to
Havana. The passengers names were I. E.
Hogg, of Baltimore; J. Brown, of Canada;
James Clements, Kelly, Brown, and John
Wilson. The latter was mate with Gordon,
the SLAYER, and says that he was in the Toombs
in New York for nearly five years. They
say there are four other pirates in Matamoras
waiting for chances like this,
After they had put the captain and crew
in the small boats, they hoisted the rebel flag
and fred off pistols as a salute, saying that
they had authority from the confederate gov
eminent. When asked where they were
bound, they said to Belize, Honduras, where
they could sell the vessel and cargo. The
vessel belonged to Francis Gerety, of New
York.
New ORLEANS, Dec. 9.-The United States
gunboat Kanawha has arrived with the prize
schooner Winona, which as captured while
bound from Mobile to Havana. Her cargo
consists of 248 bales of cotton, 500 barrels of
rosin, IA barrels of turpentine, and $4,000 in
money.
Until a short time since the schooner had
been used as rebel gunboat at Mobile
The late black frost will considerably short
en- the sugar crop in Louisiana.
The receipts of cotton in New Orleans since
the frs. of September have been over 43,G0O
bales.
One hundred guns were fred here, yester=
day, in honor of Grants victory.
Rumors come from the southern eonfeder-
acy that Bragg has committed suicide, and
that Longstreet is trapped.

to the condition of the European Govern
ments; as manifestiag, to our comprehen-
sion, "the finger Of God' raised in our be-
half to "restrain the madness of men"
and to 'smake the wrath of man TO praise
Him." The officials and aristocracy OF
England and France, though sympathizing
with the rebels, have been restrained by
the sound moral tone of feeling, of the
great masses of the people of those Gov
ernments, from more active sympathy
than they have exhibited for the south.
THE Polish question" too, sprung up,
in time to engage the attention of all Eu-
rope, and gave, and is now giving them full
employment in their own affairs; in eff
forts to preserve the peace of Europe; or
prepare for general war. Another
knotty question has arisen lately, to trouble
all Europe, and intensity all their difficult
ties, in the "great question:" as to the
succession to the Duchies of Schleswig-
Holstien, in other words called ''The Dan
ish question !" in reference to which, it is
said, that "upon the action of Prussia will
depend Peace or War. na"
With all these difficulties, hanging like
"black pail" over Europe. The rulers
of Europe find but little time now to de-
vote to the rebels. 1t would really seem
that these European difficulties, were PROP
idemtiaI interpretations, in behalf of the
government of the United States, who
will by the blessing of God, suppress the
rebellion, and with it, 'oipe ont sldoery, al
the prime source of most, if not all of oul
national troubles.

an agreeable surprise to his numerous
friends in this vicinity. The hardships
of active campaigning have not in the
slightest impaired his health; he is look
ing better and stouter than when he first
left for the war. At the breaking out Of
the rebellion, the Doctor enlisted in the
three months service, and received the
appointment of the First Lieutenancy in
Go. G., upon its organization. He after
wards was promoted to the Captaincy. At
the expiration of the three months SER
vice, the First Regiment was recognized;
the Doctor returned home, assisted in
raising Co. L, and when that Co. was mus
tered in was appointed Surgeon, which
he has since occupied. He was with his
regiment at the battles of Antietam, Fred
ricksburg, Charlottesville, Gettysburg,
Bristow's Station, and every other fight
in which the regiment has been engag ID.
Verify, the Doctor has smell guppowder.
With the exception of this visit, he has
never had leave of absence, but for ten
days. As the oldest Surgeon, by appoint
ment, he now ranks as Surgeon-in-chief of
the End Brigade. Surgeon Maull has
shared in all the haFdships and trials of
this noble old regiment, and truly deserves
the position which he now occupies. He
left home, on Monday last, to rejoin the
army. We wish him all success, and hope
that before he again returns, he will enter
the city of Richmond with the victorious
Army of the Potomac.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Our readers have had an opportunity
Of studying the Presidents last annual
message. 1t is document worthy of the
attention of the people, and of the excel
lent and exalted chief of great nation.
Without any attempt to exc out SEN
tence; or 'round a period;" it takes
hold, at once, of the great questions which
now engage the attention of the world
and presents, those questions in calm,
statesmanlike, and most able manner.
The progress, ACHIEVEMENTS, and position
OF our patriotic, gallant armies and navy,
as presented by the President, are graft
flying to every loyal heart:-and whilst
they call forth earnest thanksgiving and
praise to Him ''who orders all things after
the counsel of His own wilI'-gives as
sured hope, nay confidence in the final
triumphant success of the Union cause,
and OF the restoration of Peace, reunion
and happiness. Our finances are shown
to have been most faithfully managed,
under the able control of Mr.. Chase, the
very ablest Secretary of the Treasury since
Alexander Hamilton.
The War debt, it is manifest, is less
than we might have expected-in view
Of the gigantic operations, and extraordi.
nary efforts Of the Government to save
tie l!Ji5 cftte nation.
No nation has ever achieved as much
within as brief a period of time, and at al
little cost, as the Federal Government ha
achieved within less than three years. 1
is truly wonderful, as exhibiting the a
bundant, the unbounded resources of GU
loyal people, that this gigantic war ha
been conducted, without borrowing on
dollar of any foreign capitalists.
The Commerce, foreign and domestic, O
the United States, is in most prosperou
q condition. The manufacturers and me
/ chanics Of the loyal States, have neve
f been more SO. The same may be said O
o our agricultural interests.
S Education, morals, and religion hav
: been cultivated and advanced The hu
: manity, and benevolence of our people
I and of our government, through the san
= tary and christian commissions, challeng
and claim the admiration and respect
the whole civilized world.
Thank God that it is our happy lot
y live under such government; and amor
Of such people as ours. We desire to ca

BAYARD AND SALISBURY.

1t will be seen, by reference to the pro-
ceedings of the U. s. Senate of last Friday,
that Bayard and Salisbury object to the
oath Of allegiance to the government of
the United States. All truly loyal men
srouId, and could take this oath. The rea-
son why these Senators, who so miserably
nsisrepresent this State in tho Senate OBJ
iecb te this oath of allegiance is, that they
are disloydt, and syn,pathize acith the rebel
lion and acith the rebels. Veil their mo-
tires as they may, their actions speak
trumpet-tOngued, that they are disloyal to
the government which has cherished them
into life: and from which they, each, re-
ceiye three thousand dollars, annually, az
gold, for those very peculiar services
WHICH all loyal men appreciate; and which
history, truthful history will appreciate. -
Their actions also loudly proclaim, that they
belong to; and are in league with factioa,
the copperhead, sham-D Democracy, which.
In accordance to their oft repeated decla-
rations, have refused ''to vote dollar, OF
man to suppress the rebellion :" and
who by those actions are saisill4 all t,aa
coltou' to the rebels now in arms against
their government. 1t is high time, thai
these men, and all like them, were placed
In their proper position, and out of harm,

rhe Legislature of Virginia.

The Senate Of Virginia, in session at'Alex-
andria, passed a bill to provide for the cleo
ton of delegates by the people to convention
to assemble in that city, on the 25th of JAN
uary, to alter and amend the State constitu-
ton so as to abolish slavery in the counties
of Accomac; Northampton, Princess Ann,
Elizabeth City and York, including the cities
Of Norfolk and Portsmouth, the Presidents
proclamation of January last having declared
all the slaves in the remainder of the State
free. The act sets forth as the reason for the
change that without it the executive and
judicial officer of the State, in executing tho
laws between the marter and slave, will be
broughtiato conflict with the military authori-
ties of the United States. A bill for similar
purpose is pending in the House of Delegates.
From these will be framed, by committee
of conference, an act which it is expected
will pass both Houses by Monday.
