FORTRESS MONROE, December 23.-Mrs. Jefferson Davis returned lids morning from her Montreal visit. WASHINGTON, December 23.- The new French Minister has arrived bore, and will this week bo officially received by the (.resident. Nearly all the members of Congress have left Washington, to spend the holi? days olsewhere. Tho Government will, in good "faith respect thc decision <>t tho Supreme Cour against the trial <.[ civilians by militar, ?carts or commissions, and will insist that it shall be ivcc. -'zed, sustained and obeyed by all parues. The preparations for tho trial ol' Surratt by a civil courlis an evidence of ibis determination. NEW YORK, December 24.-New Orleans correspondence stat, s tba!. Jacob Thomp? son was in Vera Cruz. ? Miramon has lied to Qaarterra, t<> avoid arrest by bazaine, and the Marquis had made a decided failure to raise money for Max. A special despatch states that tho con? demned Fenians in jail ia Canada aro in miserable condition, poorly clad, have un? palatable food. etc. Another special says Gov. Wells ha^ written a very important letter to Senator Trumbull upon Sheridan's administration, which bc criticises very severely.

C. Faganeiro, Minister of Portugal died at 1 o'clock this morning, at the resi dence of his son. in Brooklyn, at the ag of sixty-eight. Lie was th" oldest membe of the dinlomatie corps resident ia thi city. BALTIMORE, December 21. - Four negroes convicted of larceny, and ordered to h ?.lld by Judge Magruder, at Annapolis were sold on Saturday. Some twenty o thirty farmers were present at thc sall Thc first one sold was John Johnson, wh bid for himself, and the auctioneer takiii his bid, he was finally knocked down t himself and became his own purchase] for S37; another man brought S35, and tw Kills brought re-pectively $22 and f: each. There was an officer of the Freec man's Bureau present- Rt. the sale, and was thought that the bidding would ha\ been more spirited but for the fact that a impression seemed to prevail that tl oftieer in question was about to iuterfei with the right of purchases and release tl negroes from their custody. Ireland-The Fenians. The New York Times, o? tho 19tl says : Looking from this distance, seems as though the British Goven ment entertained no fear of the ability to easily control and suppre ^>he Benian movement in Irelant For a period, or at the time thc first discovered that an outbreak on large scale was really imminent, the: appeared to be something like flurry-though this may have bec exaggerated to our vision by tl cable despatches, which announce thc hasty departure of troops at gim-boats for Ireland. But after thi or as soon as tin; English authoriti had made up their minds to the n cessity of preparations to crush o rebellion, they went about the wo with a determination, unmistakal in its nature. And now, wo snppo that although they have but a limit number of troops in Ireland, th are as thoroughly prepared for t opening of the rebellion as it is pc sible to be. But it is doubtful if insurrection can be even openodup any scale worthy of being called i surrection, for tho measures adopt look to the prevention of the openi of i Fenian rebellion. They perva all parts of the country, and can made to bear at once and direcH upon tho entire population. If, things ijpw are, the Fenians are al to put in thc field even a small arm force, capable of doing anything tl gives even the least hope of Ir independence, we shall certainly g: the "Chief Organizer'' credit abilities far beyond any 'of which has yet offered proof. Wo are so ch to the end of the year now when I\ Stephens premised the war slim bo in progress, that we shall not hi long to wait before we discover it be apart of him to bo a humbug. The New York Evening Post, in article on "Congress and the Sou ern States," in referring to the c nions expressed by tho South people, says: "If it is said the measures necci ry to obtain such legislation are exl constitutional and to the extent re lutiouary, the people reply: accept the risk. Justice is to be do safely secured, und treason punish at all hazards." THE SOUTHESK STATES NOT TO GET ANY OE THE PUBLIC LANDS.-Thc following preamble and resolution has passed the Rouse of Representa? tives: Whereas, on the 3d day of April, 18l><>, by the authority and direction of the President of the United States, agricultural college scrip, covering nearly 270,000 acres, was issued and delivered to thc State of North Caro? lina initier thc Act of Congress of July 5, 1862, providing for agricultu? ral colleges; aud whereas by the sattie authority the General Land Office is now preparing to issue scrip in like manner to the States of Vir? ginia, Georgia and Mississippi; and whereas said action of the President takes for granted that said States are restore;! to their proper Constitu? tional relations to the Union, and are to bo recognized in till respects as en? titled to the rights of the other. States of Hui union, which Congress alone can rightfully determine; therefore, Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United Skates, That tho further issue and delivery of such scrip to any of the yet unrepresented States lately in re? bellion against the United States, or thc acceptance of such scrip, or any heretofore issued by thc Registers or Receivers of any of the Land Offices of said States, he, and the same is hereby, prohibited until said States shall be fully restored to their rights as States by Congress. THU CONOVER CASE.-A Washing? ton letter of Tuesday says: "In the Criminal Court, th is morn? ing, Judge Fisher overruled the de? murrer in the cuso of Sanford Con? over, indicted for perjury in bis testimony before the Congressional Investigating Committee, attempting to implicate Jefferson Davis in the assassination of Mr. Lincoln. The Judge delivcj ed au elaborate opinion, discussed lue power of Congress to take ti stimouy, and compliments Judge Holt. The prisoner's counsel has appealed, and if tho Court in gcneral'tcrm sustains Judge Fisher, it is probable that the prisoner, who has been remanded tn jail for the present, will be brought bo trial for perjury at the next term of the Criminal Court." FROM HAVANA.-The correspondent of Friday's Herald reports that the information recently given of^?holera having appeared at St. Thomas turns out to be false. The English sloop of-war Wolverine had arrived at Ha? vana. The pemsal of President Johnson's message made a favorable impression upon the minds of all classes. The police had refused to afford any further information of tho discoveries made in regard to the Mila murder. j The Chattanooga Union speaks of the numerous droves of swine which every day passed through that city last week. There were mostly ga? thered up in the Counties North of Chattanooga, and were being driven into Georgia. The ruling prices were eight to ten dollars per hundred, net, without much inclination on tho part of purchasers to invest at those figures, in a majority of instances, holders refused lo take less than ten dollars per hundred. MILITARY INTU?: SOUTH KEN STATICS. A proposition will be ottered in the House, when the army bill comes up, to provide by law for the assignment of a certain number of troops in each of the districts of tho unrepresented States. As the matter now stands, the army is uialerlhe exclusive control of the President as Commander-in-Chief, and he can order it (or any portion thereof) wherever he thinks proper. Senator Roberts, of Texas, ad? dressed a hitter to his constituents, on the l-l th inst., advising that the peo? ple exercise their highest virtues in maintaining law and order, and show themselves worthy of a better fate than now seems to await them. He says to them: "De hopeful, find push forward industrial pursuits, develop the country and try to mend your own fortunes." The invitation from leading digni? taries of tho Catholic Church in thc United States, recently in session at Baltimore, extending' to the Pope au urgent request for His Holiness to visit this country, has been received and is nuder consideration. There is some probability of its being ac? cepted. The Louisville Courier says the suggestion of a National Democratic Convention, to be held in Louisville j early in 1-SijT, has met with consider? able favor, and it is probable that an invitation to the Democracy of all the States will be issued by the Ken? tucky Democratic Stute Convention. THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. Petitions are being circulated in Worcester County, Massachusetts, and in other parts of that State, pray? ing the Legislature not to ratify the Constitutional amendment, on the ground, principally, that it allows j the States to disfranchise negroes. A man arrived in Louisville, a few days ago, and passed himself for Col. Mosby, of Virginia. He created j quite a sensation for a few days, but I was finally proved to be an imposter, by a young man who knew Col. { Mosby veiy well, hud his nose pulled, j and was driven out of the city. About 30,000 british troops are now stationed in Ireland, chiefly in the Southern Counties. This is about the number stationed in Ire? land in 1848. Mr. Taylor, of Tennessee, having become dissatisfied with the manner in which tho Special Committee on the New Orleans riots proposes to conduct the investigation, resigned as member of that committee, on the 14th inst., and Mr. Hiram McCul? lough, of Maryland, was appointed in his place. The Supreme Court of Georgia de? cided, in a case brought before it the other day, that "the wife and children of a person who bas created a lein upon his property, m ,y secure their interest in tho same by proceeding under thc insolvent laws, without re? sort to equity. " The committee to investigate thc murder of Union soldiers, in South Carolina, have asked and obtained permission to visit South Carolina, employ a reporter, and have all the expenses paid out of the contingent fund of tho House. In consequence of orders from Gen. Schofield that all government horses and mules in tho hands of private parties in Virginia shall be given up, those having such without bills of saleare rapidly running them into thc mountains. A report was in circulation in New York, Saturday, that one of the com? mittees in Congress had agreed to recommend a large addition to the present amount of National bank currency. Secretary McCulloch proposes to discharge all his female clerks. The dear creatures make no end of trou? ble, and, besides, there are one hun? dred moro than are needed. In Connecticut, thc cotton mills are running on half time. A victim of the John Brown raid has received a pension from Virginia. MARRIED. lu Trinitv Church, on tho ISth inst., hy Rev.
