From passengers Just arrived from the North, via the Potomac, we learn that Federal troops Ull the whole Marylaud shore, 2,500 cavalry be ing In St. Mary’s county; and yet there la a way of passing through tbe hands ol the corruptible Sickles. They report that the shrewdest of the Yankees argue that “a war with England about two old men won’t pay. No dollars aud cents are lu It." And, if they life not interrupted, they will soon have affairs In such condition that Virginia will speedily become their prey. They S loal over the rich prize of cotton stolen from oulh Carolina, and revel in imaginary bliss on the possession of the cities and farms ot Vir ginia. Their only fear seems to he that, when they advance, the Virginians will “submit," and avoid confiscation. They say It is a “heavenly climate,” from this specimen of a whiter, aud that they will never winter again in the North. They really seemed vexed at the number of “dis gusted exiles” returning from Richmond, and express a hope that the “bogus Secretaries ol the South will treat the dying patriots more kindly.” Seward is to be William Ihe Oou- querer. These gentlemen from the North have fur nished us with Baltimore papers of A recent date. The Movements of tbe Enemy For two or three days post wo have had no news of any important change in tbe attitude of affairs lathe vicinity of Tybee, or at any other point on bur coaat. The Yankees seem to exer cise an uuasuat amount of caution in their mot-omenta, and show no disposition lo risk tbclr precious carcases from under the protec tion of the gnns of their fleet. Some of their small vessels ara continually sloamlng back and forward between Hilton {lead and Tybee, and occasionally a vessel or two puts out to sea from their anchorage, and oa often a war vessel or a transport comes In, but they all keep well out of reach of the guns ol the fort. On Saturday nf- ternoon a war atcamcr arrived and anchored with the fleet Inside of tho point. They have as yet landed very lew troops, and If they have bnilt any fortifications they ate so, well masked, or at so great distance from the fort as to be out ot view as well as out of reach our gnus. Our Invaders seem to be bo well satisfied with tbclr first and only success, daring tbe war, the capture of the Fort Royal sand batteries, and so well pleased with their settlement on the Caro line Islands, that they are content to enjoy tbclr honors In Inglorious ease rather than venture upon new and more doubtful conquests. But there it a murmur coming up from Yankee Doodlodcim which will dlaturb their qttlet, and which must, sooner or later, force them from their covert, Tbe Northern people who pay the expeuseaof the war have been taught to expect great things from the conquest of Boutb Caro lina and Georgia,' and already they are beginning to complain of the tardiness ot Gen. Sherman In taking possession, opening the cotton ports and sending forward the crops to the Yankee spinners.

Further—“At Richmond It Is be lieved that Gen. Burnside’s expedition Is to move up lira Potomac lo attack and capture tbe rubul batlcrleB ou the right bank.

[From tho London Chronicle, November (8-1 The preeayee of a deeperate winter are multiply- iny. Fur and wide, upon the cofil clouds gather over the political prospect. The New World conflagration threat uns lo consume ihu materials of prosperity lo millions on both sides of tbe Atlantic. At home, the disastrous prelude has already begun; forerunning, we cannot hut anticipate, a period of general aufl'erlng, in which, naturally and in evitably, the poorer clasaea will endure the ut most bitterness of tbe blight. Nor la It possi ble, notwithstanding the sincere reports of Sir Robert Peel, to doubt Mint Irdlaud will be called upon lo undergo another ordeal, comparatively lenient perhaps, yet aggravated by the dimin ished capacity ol Engluud to relieve her. We know that the fair weather prophets arc augur ing differently; they subsist, of course, upon artificial confidence: they are nothing If uni de claiming about lira uucxamplcd fortunes of the British empire. But all this rhapsody will not set a single mill golug, will bring comfort to no Luucusblre cottage, will neither open a cotton market nor create a cotton supply. Surveying the broad areua of Europe, can it be honestly affirmed thul the aspects of lira season are cheer ful I There Is no pauic, hut, at the same time, there Is uo npproticb to a aeitluuieut of existing complications in Italy. The French horizon Is in all directions dark, ominous and melancholy. Austria stands upon the brink of civil war, aud Russia is reluming to barbarism.

And then, what ot that mighty aggregate lo which the cotton-pod gives laliur ami life—tii.it four millions, stricken by lira curse of a civil war beyond the seas! 1 —, Their earnings have withered from u livelihood into It pittance : they arc struggling with waul; soon they may have to lace starvation ; lor them lira limes are hard Indeed—"half time" Is “karil- llme” with u vengeance. Yet wc must not fly away with the notion that there 19 ao colluii within reucb, or that tbe stock is nearly exhaust ed. We find a difficulty lu buying, but a still greater difficulty In selling.

Cotton Falling Shout in Lincolniiok.— We read that a Mr. Harrington, of New York, has Invented a Machine for untwisting cotton [From the Richmond Whig, Dec. igth-I - Prom Loudon. Wc bed the iileusura of ao interview, yester day, with Mi. Wm. T. Fry, bf Mobile, a youug gentleman of much intelligence, who has Just returned from Europe, who, In addition to dis patches to the President from our Oommlsslon- ere, and Loudon pnpers, communicates intelli gence of a most gratifying character, in regard to the feelings of tbu English people and the mrposes of their government towards the Con- uderale Slates. Mr. F. left London on the 10th November, oo board tbe British steamer Gladia tor, ladeu with thirty thousand Enfield rjfiee, two hundred tons of powder, sabres, pistols, medlcioes, surgical instruments, camp utensils, etc., for the Confederate Slates. The 9tb of this month, tbu Gladiulor entered llie harbor of Nassau, for tbe purpose of coal lug, and to receive Instructions as to the Confed erate port she should approach. Oa the second day alter the U. S..gunboat Flambeau made lia appearance in the harbor, sent tbitber for the spectul purpose of intercepting thu Gladiator.— There they both lie now, tbe Gladiator alrald to venture out, aud the Flambuan not daring to lay hands on her ; and there they are likely to re main until Great Britain enters the ring, wheu not only will tbe Gladiator be convoyed to a Confederate port, hat tbe Flambeau he picked up and carried along with her. Tbe cargo of the Gladiator Is in charge af D. T. Bisby, of Norfolk. Mr. Fry left Nassau to day a week ago, and reached Richmond lust Sunday, by a route and hy means that we do not disclose. He assures us that, whether in Nassau, in Londou, or io Paris, he heard but one sentiment expressed, that of cordial good will for the Confederate States, and the hope and conviction lhat they would triumph. Even before tbe outrage ou the Trent, so slroug was tbe pressure of feeling in England against Lhe North, that Mr. Yancey firm ly believed, und positively assured Mr. Fry that not more than a mouth from his departure (tbe iOlb November) would elapse before tbe block- ode would be broker. Mr. Fry entertains no doubt lhat GreatBriluin will declare war, and is of opinion that France win unite In the act. Mr. Fry, who fan gredinuu of the Virginia Military Institute, returns to lake part with the thousands of gallant Southern splrlta who are standing like a wall against the torrent of Northern invasion. Tiih Arkansas Conspirators.—Wd learn from the Utile Rock Journal of the 17th, that the eevunty-elglu prisoners, whose Searcy county we hove uoticed, wef herore the military hoard, and after so gallon were all released. They protected their devotion to the Confederacy, and claimed that the organization contemplated no inure crimi nal inteut than to Insure them against the hoe lllitles of au Invading army. The leaders. It was evident, contemplated criminal ulterior designs, bat their followers were iu the dark as lo what was proposed.

Tub Expenses of the Lincoln Govern ment.—Tha New Ylirk Commercial Advertiser rates the expenses oft tbe Llucoln Government ae rather under than Viver one ’million dollars per day. The statement is one of obvious mis. calcnlullon, in accepting the amount of pay ments from tbe treasnry as the measure of the dally expenditure. The Government spends faster than it pays, ns attested by the grumbling of its contractors and othor creditors. The New York Tribune mokes a Juster and more exact estimate of tbe actual cost to thu North ol tbe war it is waging. It says, “there Is not a man less than half a million of soldiers (regular, volonleor and militia,) (hie day looking to tbe Federal Treasi*rv for food, clothing, trans portation and pay; and onr array has hitherto cost ne fully $1,000 per man per annum, or about $8 per day. We do not believe the average is below this at present, especially if the cost of recruiting and fitting oat regiments Is Included. Wc believe the outgoes of tho Government, In cluding the cost of the blockade and tbe great Southern naval expedition, are fully $2,000,000 per day, or at least $700,000,000 per auauui. So far the North has been exulting over tho fact (hat it has been constantly draining specie Iroiu tbe Old World,.whira maintaining an army of half a million mefi. Under the infinence nf a short crop in Europe, the North has been ex porting grain at lbc rate of $3,000,000 worth pci- week ; and, by-lhe help of a stringent tirlff, it has sustained all the gold exported from Cali fornia. These causes will account for the large amounts of specie accumulated in the North since the commencement of the war. Had the tariff of 1857 liven left in force, we believe the balance ot trade with Europe would have been against the North this year, and their hanks •UN'PY.- --To all whom IMmiyconcern: Whete- as, fiulomqn Gurduur will imply it the Court of <>r dinary for Letlura of AdimuMratlon on the Estate of Herman Mun us.

Nothing further bod been heard from Harden- vIHe or Red Bluff, and it woe supposed by pas- eittigers by tbe Savannah train that the reported landing of the enemy at the latter point was premature.
