. Wasiiinoton Dee. 4. Doubts exist
whether tho confederate capital is now ut
Richmond or Nashville. Much fueling is
manifested about senators I'owcll of Ken-
tucky and ISright of Indiana taking their
seats in the senate. Their loyalty is doubt-
ud and they will not be priviledgcd to at-
tend Reunions where tho movements ' aud
sircngtb of the army are to be discussed.
The correspondent of the. Post is reported
to have been expelled. . ' '
Dot. 6. S.ilsbury of Delaware in the
Somite of tbe U. S offered a preamble and
resolution in rc'latiou to tbe affairs of the
country. The resolution proposes that Fill-
more Dallas Piorco Toucey Irving Den-
ny i'ugh Kcverdy Johnson Crittenden
and Richard W. Thomas be appointed com-
missioners on the part o" Congress to con-
fi r Willi a like number of commissioners
fvorii tho Confederate States for tho prepcr-
vntioit of the Union and the maintenance
wf tho Constitution. That the commission-
ers report to Congress and on the meeting
of said commissioners active hostilities are
to cease and not be resumed unless' tho
commissioners are unable to agree. Sum-
ner of Mass. objected to tbe resolution.
Halo said Uucliiinan should bo added to the
list. Tho resolution was luid over infor-
mallyv Trumbull offered a resolution which!
wus adopted that Breckinridge the traitor
be eipoliod. . (Jox of Ohio otfured a resolu-
tion that the president be requested to in-
nuguratu measures - for tho exchange of
priHoncru during tho present war . -. .
Kichmonu Deo. The City of Balti-
more from Liverpool 20th and Quccnstown
21st arrived at Cape Bacc on the oOth. Re-
ported that n largo steamer left London
with a full cargo of munitions of war for
tho South.' Copt. I'egrsDi of the steamer (
Nashville-took off the Captain and crew
of the Harvey Elrcb and set fire to the ship.
Russell in his last letter lo the London
Times asserts that Lincoln and bis cabinet
are not indisposod to a peaceful arbitration
and ay probably considering a proposition
aoocpting or asking the intervention of
European powers. It is reported that sev-
eral steamers have bona insured in London
for a run from England lo New Orleans
and back at twenty guineas. Indications
again point to an early engagement on the
I'otomue. Perhaps simultaneously at Lces-
hurg i Kvanrpon and' ('entfevillo.- Kvi-
deuces appear that a battle is anticipated
on the peninsula. War rumors are lever
high purhitp nghty perhaps not. The sut-
ler tyr moving their stores to tbe tear of
the army. This is considered an unfailing
sign of trouble. '
Nabhvu ae Dec. 9.-Gov.; Johnfon the

Dowl.ng Green 11th snys a small body of
federals crossed Groon river at Woodsville
this morning. Tony's Texas rangers drove
them buck killing ono. 1 Four thousand
Lincolnites are at Muufoidsville prepar-

minent.. A bpccial to the New York Post
from Washington 6th says the president
avows his purpose to adltom to a cautious
and prudent policy in relation to foreign
affairs. There neod be no npprehcution of
tn occurrence of hostilities between tht
United States and Great Britain uulcse the
British government seeks a pretext for war.
There it no ground forasciiotis difficulty.
The govornment fools no anxiety on this
subject believing a teiiipornte policy will
allay exoited feelings and tend to cement
friendly relations between tho two counties.
A caucus of the republican members will
be tcld to-morrow evening for the purpone
of agreeing upon ' the tone of policy to bo
adopted in reference to tho slave question.
