steamer Earcissus, reported TO have beer

tug Jessamine left Pensacola about the time
it is reported the Earcissus left and it is

Incorrect.
The statement recently published that
a commission for the trial of the pirate
Semmes had been ordered by the Navy De-
partment, is incorrect. He will be tried for
piracy, but several other churges and sPeo-
ifcations are under advisement by the
proper authorities, and the result of the de-
alterations will not be made known for sew
eral DAYS. There are certain specifications
in the charges against him which require a
most careful consideration, as his conviction
on them would establish a precedent which
might operate to the detriment Of the coun-
try in future wars with foreign nations.

divided upon the question of making the
grade of General a part Of the regular
army, and not q temporary matter, in the
event of the death of Gen. Grant some other
meritorious officer may be promoted to the
place. 1t will probably be adopted.
The bill prepared by the Commissioner Of
Customs and the convention Of frontier col
lectors and custom officers to prevent snug
Cling, is now in-the hands Of Secretary Nc
CullOugh for examination and approval.
The Secretary will probably send the pro-
position to Congress on Monday next, and
urge its immediate passage. In the mean
time the authorities sre receiving informa-
ton daily Of the new evasion ofthe revenue
laws and fresh smuggling from Canada.
