Special to the Times.
Richmond, Dec. 13.
Washington, 10th.—The correspondent ol
the Philadelphia Inquirer says a number of
the citizens of Georgetown and Alexandria
are openly in favor of the Confederates.
A resolution favoring the abolition of slave
ry in the District of Columbia, was brought tip
in the Washington Council on the 10th. No
doubt Congress will move in this matter at an
early day.
It is believed lhat the Confederate forces on
: the Federal lines number at least 700,000.
A correspondent of the New York Post, of
the 9th, says Thaddeus Stevens stated in the
j Republican Caucus that, after Cameron’s re
port had been accepted by Lincoln, McClellan
went to the President, and said he would re
sign if that portion of Cameron’s report was
sent to Congress respecting the emancipation
and enrolling of slaves, without being modi
fied,
The statement creates commotion among
the radical Republicans, who think McClellan
interferes where he has no right. The affairs
of the Metropolis are evidently getting tan
gled.
The Post says McClellan should be arres
ted.
Frankfort, 10th—Garret Davis has been elec
ted Senator in the place of Breckinridge.
Louisville, 10th—ZollicofTer has not advan
ced North of Cumberland river.
The Philadelphia Inquirer publishes a state
ment which evinces that the number of sick
and wounded of the Federal* are from 40 to
50,000.
The N. Y. Herald, of the 10th, says Gen.
Price, of Missouri, is played out, as a young Vir
ginian has been appointed over him.
New York, Dec. 10—A large number ofHat
teras prisoners, including eleven officers, will be
released in a few days from Fort Warren.
Gen. Banks has gone into Winter quarters at
Frederick.
Gen. Scott and family have arrived in Eng
land.
Washington, Deo. 10.—Sherman, of Ohio, in
the Senate to day, adverting to the inquiry into
the Bull Run and Bell's Bluff affairs, said that
he thought the whole conduct of the war ought
to be investigated.
Mason and Slidell, McFarland and Eustis,
have published in the New York Herald a pro
test against their seizure.
From Cfilumbus.
We fiud the following items in the Columbus
News of the 6ih:
We have just received additional news that
it has been admitted at Camp Holt that two
mm were killed by the firing from our gun
boat General Polk last Sunday. It is said to
have been occasioned by a plug bomb, whieh
fell inside the fort and exploded.
Gen. Frost came with the Camp Jackson pris
oners to Columbus yesterday. Major Williams,
attached to the staff of Gen. Frost, is also here.
There are about 80 prisoners here. There have
been 510 discharged under the Prise and Fre
mont treaty. We learn that a few of these pris
oners have been seduced into the Federal army.
The main body of these men have unite!
themselves to the fortunes of Gen. Frost with the
view of forming a brigade. We have fornd
these gentlemen to be intelligent and well in
formed. They complain of treatment on
their passage to this place, especially at Cairo,
where everything was stolen from them that
could be reached.
We learn from a countryman, who has been in
the neighborhood of the Federal camps in search
of a runaway, that the country is full of citizens
engaged in the same business.
The negroes stampeded from Dublin, in Graves
county on Wednesday last.
John A. Logan was a Colonel of an Illinois
regiment in the battle of Belmont. In the en
gagement the flag bearer of the 13th Arkansas
was killed by a shot supposed to come from some
of Logan’s men. “I will not see that flag touch
the ground,” said a brave young lad in the ranks.
He rushed forth and seized the staff, and in
triumph bore it through the tight. That young
man is a brother-iu-law of Col. John A. Lo
gan !

of “boats to arrive,” refers, no doubt, to the Ma

’ peatu oat Memphis attracted the whole city
to the wharf; but for some unexplained reason,
everybody rejoiced when it left on its upward
way to this place Wonder what it is ?
The Next Crop.
From present indications, we feel safe in
j saying that the cotton crop of the ensuing year
; ol 1862, will fall comparatively, far short of
any preceding crop that has ever been grown
throughout this section. Fields that were once
white with cotton, are irowgrten with the ap
parent growth of small grain. OUr large aud
small farmers will plant cotton sufficient only
to supply home demands and the demands of
the Confederate Stales, aud if we should be
blessed with moderate seasons, a bountiful
supply of the necessaries of life will be raised,
and our people will feel independent and at
ease within themselves. This is the spirit of
the day; may it continue until it drives mad
ness from the dull and stupid brain of fanati
cism.—Alba y Patriot.
Looking at things us they are, and in the
light of the probable future, there is no reason
why the Southern planter should put a solitary
cotton seed in the ground next year, except
for the purpose of manuring corn. We have
already enough ofthe staple on hand to supply
any possible demand in the Confederate States
for the next three years, aud this must neces
sarily be sold at a price which will scarcely
replace the cost of production. In the midst
ofthis superabundance of cotton there is a la
mentable scarcity of the means of living, and
of many things which the wants of the country
demand, and which the planter could produce
with a certainly of remuneration. Let him
at once direct his attention to the latter, and
in less than a year from to day, he will be a
richer man, and can enjoy the consciousness
of having served his country to the best of hi*
ability.
The Enemy Appear in Ossabaw.
Early yestrrday forenoon five of the enemy's
gunboats caina over Ossabaw bar and entered
the sound. Four of them approached within
cannon shot of our batteries ou Green Island,
when Capt. Screven, iu command of the post,
gave them a touch of his metal, firing several
shots, one of which struck within a very short
distance of a gunboat. The vessels, not relishing
this warm reception, retired without tiring a gun*
The latest news from the batteries when we
went to press, left thereat 11 o’clock in the fore
noon, and as no second messenger was despatch
ed the inference is that the gunboats failed to
re-appear. We hope they are not discouraged
by their first attempt.
Sherman too Slow— lt seems the Yankee*
have got over their boasting of their Port Royal
exploit, and are now grumbling that Shermau
seems content with his mud fort victory. A
Washington correspondent of the Herald Writes:
“It cannot be disguised that the Cabinet is very
sorely chagrined and disappointed at the inaction
of Gen. Sherman. It was exptoted that he would
at once push for the interior, occupying Beau
fort, seize the Charleston and Savannah Rail
road, burn the bridges, and fortify himself be
tween the two rivers before the enemy could rt
cover from their pauic and concentrate. Instead
ofthis he has settled down apathetically at Hil
ton Head. The regularity with which our Gen
erals topple over as fast as Government sets them
up, is melancholy to reflect upon.”
Looking into Their Drubbing. —The follow
ing resolution has been adopted by the Lincoln
House of Representatives :
Resolved, That the Secretary of War be re
quested, if not incompatible with the public in
terest, to report to the House whether any, and
if any, what, measures have been taken to ascer
tain who is responsible for the disastrous move
ment of our troops at Ball's Bluff.
We can tell them, and save the trouble of a
hunt : it is one General Evans , of the Confede
rate army.
An Event.—The Richmond correspondent of
the Charleston Courier writes as follows:
“The latest item of news now agitating the
Court circles is, that the adorablest of adorable
specimens of microscopic humanity has just been
added to the family of His Excellency Jefferson
Davis. The infant's progenitors are in a high state
of felicity, and the President is reported cot to
have said no to aDy application for the last forty
eight hours.”
From the Panama correspondence of the New
York Herald we extract the following in relation
to the hostile feeling existing there against North
| Americans:
The ill feeling against North Americans still
j continues, and ia revived by each fresh arrival of
I California troops laridiDg at the railroad depot
| and crossing over in “battle array.” The natives
I complain, not without reason that it is a vlola
j tion of their rights pation.
The “ Battle Flag ” is nearly square;
a blue cross, bedecked with the stars of our na
tional banner, upon a deep brilliant red, and
fringed with yellow, is the flag which i* to be our
