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. TAX PAYER. Columbus, Ga., Deo. 12, '6l. PEYTON H. COLQUITT, ( JAMES W. WARREN. \ Edltori $5 FI K ANNUM 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. Gko. G Garner, Asst. Adj. Gen. 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.— Chattanooga Caz. Ith 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.
