Richmond, Dec. 11.
It is reported that the Galway steamer Adriat
ic, has been sold and is apparently fitting out
for the West Indies, but it is the strong impres
sion that she is destined for the Confederate
States.
The Norfolk Day Book learns from a gentle
man just from Boston, who visited Mason and
Slidell, that they expressed conviction that Eng
land would never admit the legitimacy of their
arrest, but would demand the amplest repara
tion for the insult offered her flag.
Mason and Slidell’s papers were preserved from
the enemy and have gone to England.
The correspondent of the Petersburg Express,
dated at Suffolk, Va., Dee. 10th, says it is under
stood that a row occurred last night in a Polish
Regiment, from Louisiana, camped between Suf
folk and Portsmouth, and that three Lieutenants
were killed in the affray.
The Blockadkrs. —The steam gunboat Flor
ida, Capt. Goldsborough, and the steam gun
boat Alabama, together with a bark, were off
this port yesterday. During the afternoon a
laige side wheel steamer —supposed to be the
J bn P. King—came down to the bar, and it
is thought brought letters and papers to the
fleet, as she was ju3t from some Northern port.
She also appeared to have troops on board, no
doubt for Port Royal, as we believe that a large
reinforcement is being sent to that place. There
was another large steamer oft' shore steering
Southwest.
The Susquehannah was not in sight, and has
probably gone to Port Royal for supplies. The
strange looking craft whioh was visible near
the bar a few days since, looking like a float
ing battery or dry dock, could not be seen yes
day.— Oh. Courier, 11.
Beaufort to be occupied by 5,000 Federal Troops,
New York, Dec. 2.
Port Royal advices received here to-day,state
that Tatuall’s attack on the 26th on the Federal
vessels at Tybee Island was not worthy theuame
of battle. He came with three or four vessels
near enough to fire a few shots, which did no
damage and immediately retired. Tybee Island
>vas not yet occupied by our troops, but last
night (date not given) a party was sent from our
vessels to light a fire on the shore. The nation
al colors are flying from the light house.
It was understood that Beaufort would be
occupied on the29th by five thousand Federal
troops, to prevent the Confedeiates taking pos
session of ir.
Preparations continue to be made for an expe
dition south, supposed to be against Fernandi
na. Five thousand troops are to go under the
escort of the steamer Wabash, and the Dale,
Pawnee, Mohican, Seminole and six or seven
other gunboats.
Hoff Abe Lincoln’s Message is Received in Washington.
The following special dispatch from Washing
ton, we take from the New York Times :
The universal topic of conversation in Wash
ington to»day is the President’s message. Opin
ions about it ditter as widely as do the partisan
preferenc es of the people. The ultra Abolition
elements in Congress is sorely disappointed by
the utter failure of their efforts to engraft their
principles either on the President’s message or
on any of the Secretaries’reports. This class of
politicians declare the message to he tame and
ineffective. Oa the other hand, the moderate
men of all parties are highly pleased. They are
quite enthusiastic in praise of Mr. Lincoln
Knowing the tremendous pressure that has been
brought to bear upon him, to swerve him from
his purpose, they declare that he is now fully
tried, and found the man of firmness necessary
to his position.
“Honor to whom Honor is line.”
Eds. Sun: —There ha3 been no time in the his
tory of our country, that competent men are need
ed so much in office as at present, and especially
in our tax departments. As such I but render
justice to the present Tax Collector, Mr. J. L.
Howell, in stating that he has faithfully , horn sty
and efficiently discharged his duties, which ha3
elicited from the Comptroller, Mr. Thweatt, the
commendation that, in ‘•hunting up and collec
ting from defaulters, not on the digest, he had
done better than any other Collector in the State.”
He collected tax from defaulters, (persons who
gave in no tax, and whose names did not appear
on the Receiver’s book,) in 1859, on $86,168, and
in 1860, on $337,895, and 177 polls, saving to
the State and County nearly his salary. He has
given to the needy families of soldiers SSOO of his
commissions, and expresses no desire to receive
an extravagant salary, but is willing to work
for a sum as small as any competent man will. He
has been proven—and let us hold fast to that
which is good.

Gen. Bragg on Intoxicating Liquors.
Gen. Bragg has i.-sued the following order
dated near Pensacola, Dec. 8.
The evils resulting from the sale of intoxica
ting liquors in Pensacola have beoorne intolera
ble. More than half the labors of C urt Martial
result from it—demoralization, disease and death
often prove it. Our only military executions
have been caused by it. We have lost more valu
able lives at the hands of the Whiskey Sellers
than by the balls of our enemies.
The Commanding General has promised him
self to return the men of this army to the moth
ers, wives, and sisters who have cheefully sent
them forth to repel the invader, in as good a
moral condition as he received them ; to do this
he must dry up the fountaiu which supplies
this stream of pollution, that all bis efforts have
failed to control.
The domestic enemies, who have done us more
harm by this traffic, than the foreign invader,
shall no longer fill their pockets by dealing out
poison to the gallant men keeping watch in front
whilst they sleep quietly in their beds.
The sale, or introduction of any kind of in
toxicating liquor within five miles of the lines
of this army is prohibited, unless under special
sanction ofthe Commanding General for medi.
cal purposes. By command of
MAJOR GEN. BRAGG.

Compromise Resolutions Offered in the Federal Con
gress.
In the Washington Senate, on Wednesday, the
4th inst., the following preamble and resolutions
were offered by Mr. Saulsbury, of Delaware :
Whereas, The people of the States of Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Flori
da, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Ar
kansas and Tennessee, are in revolt against the
Constitutional Government of the United States,
and have assumed to secede from the Federal
Union to form an independent Government, Tin
der the name of the Confederate States of Ameri
ca; and whereas the Congress of the United
States, approving the sentiments expressed by
the President in his annual message “that the
Union must be .preserved, and hence all indis
pensable means must be employed,’’and believing
that kind and fraternal feeling between the peo
ple of all the States is indispensable to the main
tenance of a happy and prosperous Union, and
being willing to manifest such feeling on their
part to the end that peace may be restored to a
distracted country, ami the Union and Consti
tution be preserved and maintained, and invi
ting the co-operation of the people of the afore
said States in the accomplishment of objeota so
beneficial to each and all, do resolve as follows :
Resolved, die,, That Millard Fillmore, Frank*
lin Pierce, Roger B. Taney, Edward Everett,
George M. Dallas, Thomas Ewing, Horace Bin
ney, Reverdy Johnson, John J. Crittenden,
George E. Pugh and Ptich'd W. Thompson be
and they are herehy appointed, Commissioners
on the part of Congress, to confer with a like
number of Commissioners to be appointed by the
States aforesaid, for the preservation of the Un
ion and the maintenance of the Constitution,
and that they report the result of said Oonfererce
to Congress for approval or rejection.
Resolved, That upon the appointment of Com
missioners, as hereby invited, by said States, and
upon the meeting of the Joint Commission for
the purpose of conference as aforesaid, active hos
tilities shall cease and be suspended, and shall
not be resumed unless said commission shall be
unable to agree, or in case of an agreement by
them, said agreement shall be rejected either by
Congress or the aforesaid States.
Mr. Sumner, of Massachusetts, objected to
the reception of the resolutions.
Mr. Hale, of Newhampshire, said the Hat
Commissioners named was very good, but he
Bu g& e8 ’ e d that that of James Buchanan be ad
ded. That would complete the list.
The resolution was laid over iniormally.
The river trade has not yet opened, and busi
ness generally i3 dull. Few salts are taking
place, except in the retail trade. Pork, fresh, is
held at 12>j to 13 cents; small lots have changed
hands at these figures. Flour on the decline ;
sales light. Butter has come down from 35 and
40 cents to 30 and 25, with still a downward ten
dency. The sales in sugar and molasses are light
in consequence of an apprehension of a decline
in prices. We make the fallowing quotations;
Bacon, none in market; Lard 25 (a) 39c., stock
light ; Flour $8 50 to 9 00; Corn 40(a;5Uc.; Oats,
none in market; Wheat $1 25 to 1 40, supply
li3ht; Corn Meal 65 a 70c; Salt 325 bush.—

Caleb Cushing, it is stated, has at last rteeiv*d
his commission as a Brigadier General in Old
Abe's asmy. We believe Caleb is the man who
in the Charleston Convention, voted for Jeff,
Davis for President because Breckinridge was
not suffieiently Southern.
Captain S. J. Short, late of the British army
has we learn, received the appointment of Ac
ting Adjutant General in the Confederate Army
with the rank of Major, and has been ordered
to report to General Lee.
