General Evans has left Memphis for another attack on Vicksburg. The Federals have captured Charles Duval's Bluff and Desarie on the White River, and their gunboats are over 300 miles above the mouth of the river. Intense excitement and uproarious proceedings continue in the New York Assembly. No Speaker has yet been chosen The Richmond fDespatch says the enemy is concentrating a heavy force,with a view to strike a blow at the marine line of railway connecting Richmond with the far South. The forces at Newborn and Moorhead City number 50,000. Compass has rejected the Secretary of the Treasury's banking scheme as presented by the Committee of Ways and Means. The Jackson Mississippian thinks that the banks of the Mississippi, either at Vicksburg or at Port Hudson, will be the theatre of the last grand battle of the war. The steamer Golden Age sailed on the 20th from San Francisco for Panama with 336,000 dols. in specie for England, and 354,000 dols. for New York. The Mexican Minister at Washington complains that the Federal Government had refused permission to ship arms to a Mexican blockaded port, while it permtted the shipment of mules and waggons for the French in Mexico. Mr Seward replied that he did not recognise a state of war as existing between Mexico and the allies, as there had been no declaration of war, therefore the United States could not govern their conduct by the roles of neutrals, but the prohibition to ship arms applied to all nations on the ground of the military necessities of the United States. The Richmond Examiner says that the road to peace does not lie by way or Europe, but will come only as a consequence of the established conviction that the South cannot be conquered. The conviction is hourly extending in the North. The New York Tribune, after urging the arming of every man, native or foreign, black or white, who will fight for the Union, says that if three months more of earnest fighting does not serve to make a serious impression 011 the rebels, let the North bow to her destiny and make the best attainable peace. The chief point in "Manhattan's" letter in the Evening Herald is a prediction that Mr Lincoln will not be in powei 60 days after date Jan. 20.
