The practical result of emancipation in tbe District of Colombia completely explode tbe bam bag rry about negroes coming North which bat been raised by politician to frighten Northern laborers. Emancipation ha taken place there, but instead of tbe emancipated tearing the Dictrict, a they bare right to do if thry choose, there are thousands of colored peopl flocking into it So it would be in all tbe Southern State.

Tbe negroe will ron away from slavery if they can; but establish freedom in tbe Sooth, and they will no longer bave any reason or desire for coming North. The facta relative to tbe negroes in the Disrict lto sbow tbat tbey are willing to work, and tbat tbeir labor is in demand tbe demand in fact exceeding the supply.

Butler tbe property witbio tbe district recently posesscd by our forces nnder Geueral Weiiiol, to be known as the LaFourche District, is declared sequestered, and alt sales or transfers of it are forbidden.

This district comprises all the territory of Louisiana lying west of the Mississippi excepting Ibe parishes of Pin-quemine and Jefferson.

Two released Massachusetts officers, who have returned from Richinoud say the tone of the pie aud aspect of ibe people at Richmond, indicate that tbey cousider the place iu great danger, and tbat tbey are aware of tbe streugib of tbe national army aud ns dctti miuatiou to deul lueui a tern-ble blow.

Millitary Guvernor Sbepley bas issued a proclamation calling upon the loyal electors of the 1st and 2J Congressional Districts of Louisiana to elect representatives to Congress, aud be bus appointed the 3d of December as the day for holding tbe election. General Butler bas seized snd closed the bank ot New Orleans for sending $405,000 in specie within sixty days to the Rebel Government. This specie lied been previously reported to General Butler as having beeu seut away wbicb was not the fact. A Xewberu letter says A spirited reconnoisnnce by a body of Gen. Foster's forces sopported by Battery was made on tbo Dover road, io tbe direction of Kiuster, N.

on tbe 18 lb. Tbey met the enemy behind a strong fortification at Cove Creek. After a severe csvalry fight, in which both sides fought gallantly, our artillery shelled the rebel out of their pusitton, leaving their arms, equipments snd blankets behind them. Our forces destroyed their barracks and then returned to Newborn. 23.

An officer who left General Bo maids' army at one o'clock to-day reports tbe (it-uailon unchanged. The rebel were ssid to have niuetren guns of large calibre in posi tion at and near reden ksburg. On Friday Lincoln iu tbe crtmse of an interview with unconditional Union Kentuckians, discussed at length the question of emancipation. He said be would ratber die thau take backs word of tbe proclamation of freedom, and be dwelt npon the advantages to the border states of bis scheme for the abolishment of slavery, which he urged tbcm to bring fairly before the people. They assured bim that it should be done.

Mr Lincoln also expressed bis determination to use vigorous measures to rid tl ate of rebel sympathizers, and for tbat pwpose a new provost marshal general wbo bas his heart in tbe work, will be appointed. 24. of The rebels in occupation cf Fredericksburg hsve demanded further time to consider tbe question of sarrender. On Friday night after tbe interview with the civil authorities General Sumner informed tbem that if they bed any further communication to present General Patrick would meet them again the next morning. On Saturday, accordingly, tbe Mayor and Council came over, accompanied by Gener al Kersbaw Colonel Bland, and Captain King, of Georgia.

Tba officers claimed that the civil authorities could make no proposition unless tbe ssme was accepted oy mem. Genersl Patrick declined Io recive these I'fiker. Subsequently, however. General Burnside assented to their reception, and tbe parties returned. The civil authorities asked for the removal of tbe women and children.

Their request was complied with and time extended to eleven clock jester day morning. A sreciel to the Times, dated Wssbiugtoa 25, Us. says Advices frrm th Times' special corres pondent at Falmouth, dated this morolog. show clearly that tbe rebels are preparing vigorously to dispute tbe passage of our troops across tbe river at Fredericksburg Instead of tbeir garrison, which was small week ago, leaving tbe city, it bss been re inforced by ibe divisions under Longstreet snd Hill, estimated at 75,000 men, and formidable batteries bsve been planted for their protection. Wiibout some brilliant stroke of strategy oo our part, a severs engagement will be necesssry be 'ore dilougittg tbe enemy.

1 here is no room tor doubt tbat Jack son ha abandoned Virgiuis, and took ep his Hue of march for Richmond on oatnr day morning, preceded by Hampton's le gion, ihey spent ft portion, of yesterday at werrentoo. White's guerillas, sbout 200 men, were at Jjeesborg on Sunday. We leara by special sdvice from tbe Time' correspondent st Cenlrevllle, that tbe ret'r-iroent of Sig towards Washington, at tbe concentration of his forces, was atrategetie eaovement, made Io view of ittgtt on tbe part of Jacksoo to enl off bis divisions io detaH, and by effansivs da-moanrtrartioii sgaimt Washington, to execute powerful diveisioo, inteifWd to em-berras Oeu.

V. Nov. 26. 2 is expected tbat the railroad will be fintthed to-morrow from Aqula Creek to the, Rappahannock, opposite Fredericks-borg. The bridge over Potomac Creek I reported this morning nearly finished.

The cars carry supplies as far as Brook's Station, six ntilrs from Aqula Creek, which greatly accomodate nor troops, notwithstanding th late bad condition of tbe roods large masses of supplies bave been promptly furnished. Long lines of the road have been corduroyed endor the direction of Col. Ingalls, Chief Quartermaster of the army, and are in good condition. 1 he camp fire of the enemy are con stantly increasing within sight of Falmouth, affording indication of augmentation of tbe rebel forces. Lee has joined Longstreet, and A.

II ill, D. H. Hill and Jacksou nre kuown to be on their way bit her. Yesterday the enemy was busily engaged constructing additional works in the rear and to tbe left of Fredericksburg. The cars bring troops and supplies regularly, ibe rebel troops stopplug at a poiut three mile from tbe town.

Tbe talk in the rebel camp is to tbe ef fect tbat Lee iutends to dispute the passage of the federals crossing of the Rsppahau-uock with bis entire force. Tbeir gaus commund tbe ford opposite Falmouth. Sumner's division has tbe advance of our army. Trains were running all Yesterday and last night from Fredericksburg to Rich mood. Tbe entire population have left tbe city.

A rebel brigade of infantry occupy tbe city. Why Florida! The Washington Chronich adduces sev eral reasons why Florida' should be chosen as the ground for initial experiment with tbe new armed colonization scheme. It says that State is very accessible to the North, being only sixty hour from New loik city, aud by water conveyuuee, al way cheap and always ready. Florida, from its peninsula position, can be easily defended aguiust tbe entire force of the rebel armies, by tbe aid of a few guuboats along tbe const and on the navi gaoie rivers, tie climate or Florida is weli adapted to Northern people, whose iu vhlids bave been acccastotned to seek and to find health within her borders. Honda is the only State which produces the tropical fruits.and this monoooW will soon be a source of immense wealth.

Florida is the key to the Gulf of Mexico as Uibralier is to the Mediterranean, and the more securely we hold that State tbe better will be our prospects as ft commer rial nation. Florida contains our best materinl for ship building, tbe best and most extensive forests of live oak and bard piue. It will require all tbe energies of onr early colon ies to furnish the timber to supply tbe im mediate demunds of our own uavy yards, Alter that the Island and South American markets will absorb all that can be furnisb ed. Special advices 'from tbe Times' correspondent at Centerville that the tetirement of Sigel towards Wahingten, aud tbe concentration of bis forces, a strategic movement made in view of designs on tbe part Jacksoo to cut off hi divisions in detailand by offensive demonstrations against Washington to execute a powerful division intended to em haras General Burnsido'e forw fiifrel's plan was completely successful, Slid Jackson frnstrated in bis design. Railroad connection belweeu Louisville and Nashville is now complete.

JacCirwuai' ncmiiwi for tbe re ttoa. 1. M. Stsatoa. Sssrstarr ef Wsr I In reply to Ibe central Interrogatories contained In your letter of yesterday, I have to report First That requisitions for supplies to the army under Gen.

McClellan are made by the staff officers on the chiefs of bnrean here that for Quartermaster's supplies, by hi chief Quartermaster oo tho Quarter- master uenerai tor commissary supplies, by his Chief Commissary oh tbe Commis sary Genera), etc. No such requisitions have been made. to. my knoelcpge, upon the Secretary or War, and none upon the Uenerai in Chief. Second On several occasions General McClellan has telegraphed to me tbat his army was deficient in certain supplies.

All these telegrams were immediately referred to tbe beads of JJurouus with orders to re port. It was ai-er'aincd that In every Instance tbo requisitions bad been immediately filled, except one, where the Quartermas ter Uenerai had been obliged to send from Pbiludtlphia certain articles of clothing, tents, not having a full supply here. There bus not been, so far as I could ascertain, any neglect or delay in any De partment or liureao in issuing all supplies asked fur by Gen. McClellan, or by officers or bis stuff Dilays have occasionally occurred in forwarding supplies by rail on account of the crowded caudition of tho de pots, or of a want of cars but whenever notified of this, agents have been sent out to remove the difficulty. Under the excellent superintendence of Gen.

Haupt I thiuk these delays have been less frequent, and of shorter duration, than is usual with freight trains. An nrmv of the sizo of that nnder McClellan will frequently Tor some days, without the supplies asked for, on account of neglect in making time lr rcatiMtiou aud unavoidable delays tn forwarding them, and in distributing tbcm to the different brigide and regiments. From nil the information I could obtain I em of the opinion tbat the requisitions from that army hare been filled more promptly, and tbat the men as a genera rule have been better supplied than our armies operating in the West. The latter hsve operated at a much greuter distance from tbe sources of and bave had fur less facilities of transportation. Third.

Soon after the battle of Antic tarn, Gen. McClellan was nrged to give me iuformation or Ins intended movements order that if he moved between the enemy and Washine-ton reinforcement, conld be sent from this place. On tbe first of Oct finding that he proposed to operate from Harper's Ferry, I nrged him to croFg the river at once and give battle to ibe euemy, poiutiug to bim the disadvantages of delaying until tbe autumn rains bad swollen the Potomac and impaired the roads. Ou the Glh or October be was peremptorily order ed to cross tbe Potomac and give battle to the enemy, or drive him south, our army must move now while the roads are good It will be observed that three weeks have elapsed since tbe order was given. Fourth in my opinion, there bas beeu no such went of supplies iu tbe army under Gen.

McClellan as to prevent his compliance with the orders to advance against the enemy. Had he moved to the south side of the Potomac, he could have received his supplies almost as readily as remaining inactive po. tbe north. Fifth On the 7th of October, in a telegram in regard to hts Jn'euded movements. Gen.

McClellan states that it would require at least three days to supply the 1st, 5th and 6th corps that they needed shoes and other indispensable articles of clothing, as well as Shelter tents. No complaint was made that any requisition had not been filled, and it was inferred from his language that he was only waning Tor his supplies. On the 1 1 1 be telegraphed that por tion of supplies sent by rail had been delayed. Asolrearly stated agents were imrndite- ly sent from here to investigate this com-plant and they reported tbat everything had gone forward On the i-me date, the II th, he spoke of many of his horses heing broken don by faiigne On the 12ih, he complained that the rate of supply was only 100 horses per week for the entire army there and in front of Washington. I im mediately directed the Quartermaster Gen eral to inquire into this mailer and report why ft larger snpply was not furnished.

Gen. Meigs reported on the 14'h. that, the sverage issue of horses to Gen. Mr-ClellanV armv in the field and in front of Washing ton, for the previous weeks, bad been 1450 per week, or 8154 in all in edition that, large numbers of mule had been sop-plied, and that ibe number of animxls with Gen. McClellan 'mv on he upper Polo mac was over 31.000.

ne also reported that he waa then sending to tbat army all the horses he conld procure. Onth18th Hen. McClellan slated regard trt Gen. Meigs' report that be had filled every requisition for shoe and eUth Ing Gen. Meigs may have ordered these art isles to he forwarded, hut they have not reached onr depots, and nnlas greater ef fort to ensn'e prompt transmission rnnde bv the department of which Gen Meigs the bead, ihey nvcht as well remain in New Yo k-or Philadelphia so far ss this army ia conre'ned.

I immediately called Gen. Meigs attention to this apparent neglect in his department. On the 25'b he reported as th res-nil rf hi InvesMgation that 48.000 pair boot and shoes had been H-civd by the Quartermaster of Oen. McClelland army at ITarper's Frederic and fTapers- own that 20 000 plr were at Harper' Ferry depot on the 21st that 10.000 more were on their way, IS. 000 more ordered.

Col. In en II. Aid de Cmp end Chief Quartermaster to Gen. McClellan, tele-graphed on the 25'h: The snffrrinjr for want of clothing; Is rxapgrerated I think, and certainly might have been avoided by timely requs'H ions of rearimental and brigade commanders. On the 24' he tele-prsphrd to the QusrtermaslerOeneral that the clothins; was not detained In the cars at the depot.

Such complaints are'groond-less. The fact I the olothinfr arrives aud is Issued, bot more Is still wanted. I hsve ordered more than would seem necessary from any, data furnished me. and I beg to remind yoo thst yoo have always very promptly met all my requisitions far as clothing; Is concerned. One depot Is not a( fault.

It provides as soon a doa notice is I foresee no time when an army of over 100 000 men will not cell for olothins; and other articles. Io regard to Oen.
