Rebel Deserters and Citizens Taking
the Oath Under the Presidents
Proclamation.


WASHINGTON, December 15.-The Star furn-
ishes the following in advance of its publication:
kilograms were received here last evening
from Knoxville upto yesterday morning.
General Foster had assumed command Of the
troops lately under Burnside and the latter had
departed from that city for Cincinnati. All was
then quiet in the vicinity of Knoxville.
1t was stated there on authority of scouts and
messengers that much of Longstreet's artillery
and train had fallen into the hands Of our pursu-
ing force, but this lacked confirmation The re-
gion in which pursuit is made is so far distant
from the telegraph as to make it difficult to ver-
fy such statements.
General Butler and number of the Sanitary
Commission, now at Fortress Monroe. have tel
graphed to the Government here that the rebel
authorities have stopped the distribution of sup
plies sent to the Union prisoners in their hands.
We are notified that up to this time no infor-
nation had reached Washington indicating that
anything like an official rebel notice had been
communicated to either General Butler or Gen.
Meredith, ofthe factthat Ould, the rebel Commits
sioner of Exchange, promptly replied yesterday
or the day before to Gen. Buffers tender of vac
cine to be used among the Union prisoners, that
it would be disposed ofpromptly, as requested
leads us to hope there may be amistake.

sion TO authorize the borrowing in some form of
$500, 100000 for the current and $500 900 600
for the next fiscal ear. Indeed the only modif-
cation of the act of last session of the current aud
coming year seems 70 be just TO ascertain from
time to time the amounts destroyed and lost, and
to replace them by new issues
I'd. The repeal of the existing Limitation of the
deposit loan to $l000o0.0 900, and the substitu-
ton of provision for a reserve equal in amount
to half the peposit.
Sd. The permission Of the negotiation of loans
redeemable absolutely at pleasure or at pleasure
after the time fixed ner more remote than forty
years, and the omission of the clause taxing the
circulation of deposits. as being more appropriate
to an internal revenue bill.
1t is hoped the other provisions of the last may
be retained in the new loan act. Under such
legislation the Secretary entertains little doubt
OF being able to obtain whatever funds will be
needed through loans, at reasonable rates Of in
terest, for bonds or treasury notes.
For n want of this confidence, however, he re-
lies much on the support to be given to the pub
lie credit by the National Banking System and
by the naturalization Of the currency, there is,
be thinks. no possibility Of permanently sue
cessful administration Of the finances under cir
cumstancss involving the creation of large debts.
unless loans can be effected as medium of gen.
eral and equal credit throughout the country and
rot liable to VARIATION In quantity or In value,
except under the operation of national legisla-
ton and the general laws Of trade.
The Secretary asks the special attention oil
Congress to the proposition for uniform rate OF
interest and the repeal of the section which con-
meets the issues of national currency in any de-
gree with State banks. The Secretary also rec
commends a provision to be made by law for the
deposit with national banks aud also with the
Treasurer and Assistant Treasurer. at such
rates Of interest or for such periods of time AZ
the Secretary may prescribe of money paid into
or invested under the orders of judicial courts
IL Is not impossible that in this way many mil
lions would be placed in the Treasury at moder
ate rates Of interest .s..l
The Secretary refers to Congress the question
whether the duty on national currency and th'
deposits Of national banking associations shall
correspond with the duties ON other circulation

The Judges, after consultation, con-

This was, from no spirit of caprice, nor
that they doubted the loyalty of the At

New YORK, March 23.-The steamer
George Washington from New Orleans
10Th has arrived The Era of the 18th
mentions rumor that Port Hudson has
been evacuated, but it is not credited.
The Tfibunes dispatch states that the
Government has information leading to
the opinion that the rebel army of the
Rappahannock is making preparations
to fall back towards Richmond, probably
to the defence of that city. The appre-
tensions of the Davis Government is,
that an attack is intended by way of
James River This backward move
ment is considered necessary to thwart it.
Refugees confirm this theory, and add
that Lees force is much reduced by the
withdrawal of Longstreet, the two Hills
and other rebel Generals with their COM
mands, who have gone to other parts of
the Confederacy.
Paroled prisoners direct from Rich
mond state that the actual want of bread
and meat begins to press upon the rebels
in the vicinity OF Richmond.
The War Department has received the
rolls of all regiments comprising the
army of the United States, which show
the number of absentees and deserters
to be upward of Ia, 900.
Information is received of the capture
of a cavalry picket guard of from TWEEN
ty to thirty men, stationed at Oquoquon,
by detachment of Stuart's cavalry. 1t
came by way of Slickner's ford. Other
detacemeuts of Stuart's force recently
made their appearance at several points.
The Times Washington dispatch says
reliable information received here state
that the rebels are abandoning the line
of the RaPpahannock and are falling
back on their defenses.

the Southwest has at length good cause

If it needs any assistance beyond the

that a day may come when Hooker may
receive a blow more crushing than any
Mcclellan, Pope or Burnside received.
Should this happen, it may chance that
