A loval Virginian, from Frenerick county, who reached Washington City on Weudesday, reported that all the free colored, men in Frederick county are bcinrr cressed into the rebel service as fast as they can be found and taken, and that they are imprisoned in the jail at Winchester until a sufficient number are got together, and are then forwarded to Masassas Junction to work en the forti fications in that vicinity, or perform oth ci service as they are required. Every .able bodied man under fifty years of age was being seized end put into the ranks, and, so far as he was able to learn, there had been no exception to this. ' He speaks of a Quaker earned Denny, who .was notified to appear at headquar ters and take up arms. He refused to obey the summons, and a guard was sent to bring him in. He was brought before a military court and was there asked the .grounds of his refusal. He replied that he was loyal to" the United States Gov-; ernment, and as a member of the Society 'of Friends, was opposed to war. He was told that he would make friends b foin into, the Confederate service, and would, without doubt, obtain a position of ra.uk and good pay. He replied that he was opposed to the Confederate Govern ment rrom principal, and that every dollar- he received from the Confederate Government would burn in his pocket, and that he would not touch a dollar of it. It was apparent that he would be useless a a soldier expressing himself as boldly as he did and he was assigned to the disagreeable duty, under compulsion, of seeking out the free negroes of the coun try aboubt, to have them impressed into the. service. Gen. (formerly Colonel) Jackson, who commanded the rebel troops at Harper's Ferry in May last, was in command at Winchester. He brougyt with him his brigade from .Manassas, estimated at 5.000, Independent of Pendleton's battery of artillery.

Bragg had sent congratulatory dis patches all over the South. From the same source it is learned that at Beaufort, three companies or General Sherman's command had an engagement with the rebels, and were forced to re treat with a loss cf eight men.

The rebel Convention at Russellville had made a declaration of mdependance, had passed an ordinance of secession, and adopted a resolution that the laws and constitution of Kentucky were not consis tent with the rebel Government. Richmond advices say that the British Steam sloop Racer is expected soon. The privateer Sumpter is reported cap- off the coast of Texas by the frig ate Niagara. Washington, 20 According1 to resent indications, the Presiden's Message will not be sent from Washington in advance of its delivery to Congress. 1 he reason lor tms istne fact that it, as well as the reports of the Seretaries of War and Navy, will be kept open until the latest moment in order to make such additions and alterations as the constantly recurring events may re quire. Dispatches received to-day at the JNavy Department from flag officer Dupont, da ted Port Royal, Nov. 25, gives the grat ifying intelligence that the flag cf the U. S. is flying over the Territory cf the State of Georgia. Tybee Island, which be says is within Mortar distance of Ft. Pulaski has been taken possession of, and the approaches to Savannah completely cut off. On the island is a strong martiila tow er, with a battery at its base. The following is the Philadelphia En quirer's Pensacola report: Passengers by a flag of truce from Norfolk to Ft. Mon roe. Nov. 27, furnish further news re garding the fight at Ft Pickens. The particulars, it must be remembered, come through a rebel source. uen. liragg had not made a breach into the fort, as W8s before reported. Great excitement was prevalent throughout the South re specting the battle, but it was thought Bragg wonld be able to make Brown sur render. A message arrived from Pen sacola on Sunday last, with a peremptory order for reinforcements. Bragg at that time was hopeful of an easy success, and was replying at intervals cn the Fortress with great effect. Hie regular salvos are described as being truly terrible. The General was perfectly cool and con fident. No breach had yet been made, but on Monday one would be manifest, when Brag expected reinforcements, and would storm with fresh troops and ord nance. Col. Brown had concentrated a perfect storm of shot and shell upon the Navy Yard, and had burned it down to gether with all the out buildings, and a considerable amount of ordnance stores. Pensacola had been evacuated'by order m. -w V v. r of lien, liragg. Col IJrown had called to his assistance five vessels of war, all of which had been driven off by the bat teries. The frigate Niagara had been riddled by shot. The steamers Colorado and Monongehela were disabled. Col. Brown had declared to his troods that he would never surrender alive, and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed among the men. Oa Tbesday Bragg would engage Col. J3rown in front, and land a large force on the island so as to taka him in the rear, aud it is generally believed by Union men that an action has taken placs at Pensacola between our forces and the rebels and that Bragg has been whipped and his whole force captured.

Price has issued a proclamation at Neosho, calling for 50,000 men from Missonri to sustain the Southern cause. He says only 5,000 men have as yet come from Missouri to aid him, and un less his call is responded to, he hints, all will be lost, and the "Lincoln-Hessians" will have control of the State. The advance cuard of Price's forces are working their way up to Sedalia, com mitting depredations as they go. It is reported that Lexington again has fallen into the hands of the rebels. Mc- Cullock's forces are said to be on their way to to Arkansas. The troops under the rebel General Rains occupy Springfield. It is said to be Price s intention if he cannot raise more troops, is to divide his army into guerilla bands, ane harrass Union men.' The great gunboat and land expedi tion, under Gen. Halleck, is expected to start down the Misissippi in about two vvaeks. As the people in several of the eastern counties in Virgini, have declared them selves loval, ports will be opened for trade.

Jim Lame delivered a great anti- slavery speech in Boston on Saturday, to an immense crowd of people. Tribunes Washington correspondent of 1st, says, No fear need be entertained as to the position the President will take concerning the seizure of Mason and Sli dell. He will hold that Capt. Wilkes did right, but that he should have seized the steamer Trent also. Mr. Ely, prisoner at. Richmond, has sent word that he shall take his seat in Congress this session. Reports from Richmond say rebels are terribly excited concerning the Federal occupation of the coast. Southern troops declared they would go home and leave Va. to her fate. Upon the renewed application of Geo. D. Prentice, Sec. Seward, on Saturday, ordered the release of Calhoun Benhara and ex Senator Gwin from confinement in Fort Lafayette. Secretary of the Navy, in his report, after mentioning the capture of Mason and Slidell, says thaflhe prompt and de cisive action of Capt. Wilkes merited and received emphatic approval of the Nany Department, and if a too generous for bearance was exhibited by him in not capturing the vessel which had rebel commissioners on board, it must, in view of special circumstances of patriotic mo tives, be excused, but it must by no means be permitted to constitute a percedent, hereafter, in treatment of any similar case. Jesse D. Bright of Ind., is at Wash ington and intends to take his seat. Sen ator Powell of Ky., also arrived on Sat urday, and it is said will take his seat. A committee will be chosen to examine into the conduct cf such raen,and if proof against thera is plain, they will be ex pelled. A letter in the N. Y. Herald from Curracoa, Nov. Oth, says the U. S. War steam. . Irroquois, arrived cfF Tcrt Li guyra, with the intentic f entering, but was informed by Government authorities that the vessel could not enter except in case of distress.

Disnatches received from Sphan at Washington, show friendliness of feeling between Spanish and Church party of Mexico. The following paragraph occurs: Yesterday took'nlace the long; announ ced visit to her Majesty, the Qeen, by Gen Miraracn, ex-President of Mexico. The august Queen received him with her usual ability, as did also the King, her J. who was s: aU J at her sua. f Conversation lasted for more than a quar- i ter of an hour. From an intelligent i source it seems there is some foundation for the report that Queen Isabella has made a secret treaty with Emperor Na poleon, ceding to him the Balearic I-danns provided he will assiii her ia her designs against Mexico. ASHIXCTOX, J. . This morning pickets cf Gen. Bank er's brigade were attacked at.Anandile by a party of secession cavalry, who came across our men very unexpectedly. Sharp firing took place, and the result was one rebel killed,. and two wouncled and taken prisoners. , Information has been received here that one clause in the treaty with ihe Mexican Government provides for a loan of 810,000,000 by our Government, to be furnished in 5 annual sums of S2,C0O, 000, each in return for the mercantile advantages and transit of the U. S. troops through Mexican Territory. Gen McClelha is understood to have made the most urgent representations to the President ia favor cf a regular and systematic exchange of prisoners. He will pjobably succeed in having his views approved an acted on. Mc. Call is moving towards Leesburg and Gens Smith an Porter are extending their lines forward, while McDowell and Franklin are watching the ememies cen tre, which is growing weaker every day. The Time's dispatch says I am en abled to state in the most positive man ner that the struggle U over, that the President's conservative policy is sus tained cy his cabinet, with entire una nimity. ' ' ' The World's correspondent says Sec. Cameron and Seward were seranaded to-night, but only the latter appeared.

The Tribune has the following dis patches from Washington : The great in terest which the War will give to the annual report of Secretary of War, will be heightened by Mr. Cameron's dis tinct avowel cf bis policy cf placing arms in the hands of slaves who are willing to use them for the cause of the Union. He will support this by argument and his torical references, and show that his had ing position upon tha vital question has been deliberately and strongly taken as a foretaste of the administration hereaf ter of the War Department until the end of the rebellion. The public will learn with interest that Mr. Cameron will appeal to Con gress and the Governor's cf States au thorized, to bind the government to prac tice the closest economy, and will stern ly require economy and accouutability from every subordinate in the War De partment and army in the field. Enor mous as the expenses of the War will be, it will not be permitted to bankrupt eith er the Government or the people, Mr. Cameron's report will, also, prob ably contain recommendations that will go far to abolish the distinctions between regulars and volunters. Among these there will be the repeal of the regula tion which confers rank on the regular officer over the volunteer of the same grade, leaving it to be determined by se niority according to date of commission. Secretary Chase's report vtill recom mend necessarily a large increase of rev enue duties.
