is also said that Price had ordered McCulloch
to follow him?which the latter refused to do.
Gen. McCulloch has put his army into winter
quarters in Arkansas, and be himself is at
Little Itock, en route for Kichnond.
Northern despatches say that a fight took

in bullion.?The Confederate steamer Sumter
was at Martinique on November Gth, and tlie
United States gunboat Iroquois was within
tliree hours sail ot her.
Advices from St. Thomas state that Captain
Coxctter, formerly of the J elf. Davis, was on
board the steamer Trent when Mason and Slidell
were arrested.
In Bolivia, the Commander General at Loposc
had ordered the execution of 200 persons
ongaged in the recent revolutionary movements.
Among those executed, were Kx-Pres- J

pcrs contain accounts of the late bombardment
at Pensacola. They admit the great effect of j
the fire from the Confederate batteries?especially
in cripling the U. S. war vessels engaged.
A correspondent from the fleet states that the ,
monster steam frigate Niagara "was completely
riddled with balls," and the Colorado, another
first class steam frigate, "thoroughly disabled.'
It is added that liragg's "regular salvos was
terrific."

Richmond, December 8.? A duel was fought
here yesterday morning between two "professional
gentlemen," Washington Worsham, recently
of Norfolk, and James McCulloch, formcily
of New Orleans and California. Worsham

How Messrs. Mason and Seidell ark to
be Treated.?A special despatch from "Washington
to the New York Herald presents the
meanness of the miserable degraded Lincoln
dynasty in a phase which, while it cannot astonish
many, but few expected to sec :
It is now determined by "the powers that
be" to order that Mason and Slidell, the chief
of traitots, be closely confined at Fort Warren*
upon fare served only to criminals guilty of
the highest offences against the law, until it is
known from the most reliable source, that Col.

treated with respect due to their position avoiding

o
sides, it is the intention of the Government to
hang all persons taken upon the high seas in
the act of violating the law of nations against
piracy, whether such persons belong to Ma>sichusctts
or South Carolina, to England or the
Sandwich Islands; and no threat of any kind
coming from those who are in rebellion against
the legitimate Government will deter the Federal
authorities from executing this policy to
the fullest extent. If, in consequence of such
action, the loyal citizens of the United States
wlio arc now prisoners of war in Southern
dungeons receive other treatment than that to

Kino of the Pumpkins.'?In Paris the annual
ceremony is performed of crowning the
largest pumpkin offered for sale at the markets,
and carrying it through the streets attended
by a procession. This year the cuccessful
candidate lor royal honors weighed 242 1-2
pounds, and measured 10 feet 4 inches in circumference.

Tiie Election for Representatives in
Congress.?The following are the returns ol
the election in this State for members of the
first Congress of the Confederate States :
First Congressional District.?Hon. John
McQueen?no opposition.
Second Congressional District.?Hon. W.
Porchcr Miles?no opposition.
Third Congressional District.?Hon. L. M.
Aycr?no opposition.
Fourth Congressional District.?lion. M. L.
Bonham?2191 votes. Col. John A. Calhoun
?820 votes.
Fifth Congressional District.-?lion. James
Farrow?2080 votes. Col. G. F. Townes?900

Sixth Congressional District.?lion. W.
W. Boyce?no opposition.
The Cotton Famine.?Would Lord Palmcrston
travel as far as Lancashire and hear what
the mill-owners say about the hard times that
are in store for their operatives and themselves,
he might be inclined to speak of the calamitics
that threaten the North of England as
something scarcely summed up in the conventional
phrase "a temporary evil." Doubtless
the time will arrive when the Indian cotton
will supply the gap now created by the American
war. But never was the old proverb,
.'While the grass is growing the steed is starving,"
more literally illustrated than in the
present dearth of cotton. Twenty millions of

the misery which the industrial populations of
our great towns in the north seem doomed
[luring the carlv months of the ensuing year.

The Yankees Picking Cotton.?A "Washington
despatch to the Mi Y. Tribune says :
The soldiers at heaufort and the slaves on
the island, will soon he picking the ungathcred
cotton ; the former under an order from
the Government, and the latter under the impulse
of wages directed to he paid them by
Cen. Sherman. It is also probable that the
cultivation of the sea island, for the next cotton
crop, will be contracted for by some responsible
Yankee, who will he required to employ
the slaves abandoned by their masters,
upon the several plantations.
A Scaklkt Letter?. L lie Aew York I ones
lias an article on the letter "B," from which
we extract the following :
A correspondent calls attention to the conspicuous
part the letter UB' is playing in our
national troubles. Big Bethel, Bull Run,
Ball's Bluff, the two Beauforts, Brunswick, Bolivar
and Belmont, seem to justify the idea of
its frequency in topography. While lie alleges
that the Blair family on the Union side arc a?
influential in the making and unmaking of
Generals and the management of the war Generally,
as are Secretary of War Benjamin, and
Generals Beauregard and Bragg, on the side
of the enemy."
Professor Lowe's balloon "Constitution,'
was shipped from Washington for Beaufort,
South Carolina, on the afternoon of the 2Gtli
ult.
There are now fifteen thousand Kentucky
troops in the Confederate service.
