Colonel Porter, an active lar army, and a man of, vigor,at once o: ‘trols, and, though the guard houses be full the streets are empty. He set to work with such speed that Wi mm which went to bed in very poor spirits one night, found that the evil had van- ished in 24 hours, and that next night sh could sleep in peace. That the steps tak were vigorous, and that were Oy ee will appear from another order issued sup- port of the form [Here follows General Orders No. 1, direct- ing a vigilant patrol of the city. and command- ing Tog men to stay by their regiments, ete., eto. The citizen soldiery were astonished and were indignant, but they were nevertheless arrested and “‘ blackholed,”’ and I confess it ge®ve me infinite satisfaction to observe the very salutary results of the process. The San- itary Commission, with considerable boldness. published certain recommendations for the im- rovement of the discipline of the army, which is indeed in need of change for the better. Thoy ascribe the difficulties which they meet in carrying out reforms to lack of discipline, which thus injures the health of the army. Gen. Lana, who commands the Spanish troo; in Cuba, bas been over here on a tour, and he expressed to me his profound astonishment at the state of things visible in the camps on the other side of the Potomac. He was here, how- ever, at a bad time—just after the flight from Manassas. His criticism, however, on lazy sentries, on slovenly and ill-equipped troops, on dirty arms and accoutrements, were just. Above all, he was amazed that in an army of recruits there was no drill or exercise to be seen. Company drill is not much attended to; the bat- talion drill is of the most elementary characte: and, indeed, with the exception of the ski: mishing at Cairo, I have never seen anything batordinary advance inline, or marching past at slow time, or at the double in columns of companies or of sub-divisions,and such common movements. This generally results from the ig- norance of the officers as much as from the in- competency of the rank and file. Gen McCle!- lan is talking about brigade drills and field days, and there is some nonsense attributed toh bout drilling by trumpet, which means, I presume, that he is about to have more attention paid to bugle notes in giving orders than 1s at present the case. The new levies, as far as I can judge, are not equal to the de- parted three months men. and the camps are certainly not as well filled. There are about 24 battalions of infantry of all sorts, and 8 squadrons of eavalry in the capital, and around it on the left bank of the Potomac, up to the Chain Bridge. There are some 30 battalions across the river, and some 700 sabres, the whole force being probably under 45,000 men, not including Banks’ column at Harper’s Fer- ry, or the command of Gen. Butler and of Gen. Dix, at Baltimore. Of the 49 guns which MeDowell’s army took into the field, 25 re- main in the hands of the enemy, and there is some deficiency in artillery, which Govern- ment is doing its best to supply. General MeDowell, | am glad to say, remains in com- mand of the troops at Arlington, although se- rious accusations have been made against him in the papers, most, if not all, were quite un- founded. What could he do with the mate- rials he had, except, as the President said, “drive the locomotive as he found it.” Granted brayery, heroism, devotion, and all that kind of thing, what could be expected of a regimont thus described ip a New York paper: “ In one of our regiments, while the Colonel wason trial for drunkenness, the Major lay drank in his tent, and the Lieutenant Uolonel was 90 intoxicated at evening drill that he had to stagger up to the Adjutant and request him to give the orders.”” @ President is now vested with moat ex- traordinary powers, such as were never heard of before, except under a virtual despotism; because by a recent bill he is enabled to dis miss officers at pleasure, without giving a court of inquiry. But the evil was enormous. Every- where is the sam troops have been i: have shot soldiers in self-defence. zation prevailed oe in Butler’s force, and the men have burn own part of the pretty village of Hampton. The day before yester- day a soldier shot s comrade in the street, close to the spot where I was standing—one of many similar oases. The officers may not be responsible for all this, but they are to be blamed for a fod deal of the disorder. As « treat for Prince apoleon, who is ing his time here very pe ng Wash- ton papers propose that he id be in- vited to review th rmy by Gen. McClellan, bat I do not think he will be asked to do any- thing of the kind. A few months hence the suggestion would be less distasteful. Apropos of Prince, it may be worth mentioning that when the President entertained him the other evening at the White House the band treated bim no less than twice to the ‘‘Marseil- Isise."’ Lord Lyons, M. Mercier, and all the Ministers were present, but, owing to some un- explained reason, the Chevalier Bertinatti, Minister of the King of Italy, was not invited, which is all the more curious on account of the Prinoe’s connection with the House of Savo: On Sunday the French Minister, M. M ve a dinner at his house, where the Prince i inet Ministers, at which foreign representatives were present, as well as Mr. Sumner and other a persons.

Lam not quite eertain that the silence which bas ob- tained in Europe in reference to the conflict will not soon be resented as an im ence and an insulting affection of rence to that which Americans regard as the greatest contest the world bas ever seen. No one can be benestiy indiferent to the results, for they world. pre Useless to say grandeur and for the national the thing as impossible. | marked the sobbing ‘It is, indeed, impossible to regard with indif- ference the fight which has such enormous in- terests and great principles involved in ths issue, but it is unfortunate for the United States that it has by turns affronted nearly every Government in Europe, and left to itself only the natural sympathies of the peoples for those who apes fore them as the friends of lib- erty. There is one thing to be said about civil wars—they do not last long. Itis probable that the ‘“exceptionaiism,”’ if one may use the word, on which the American: her pride themselves, will net prevail in the case of the struggle between North and South. Each of the contending parties, however, believes it is sure to win. The voices from the South are, to be sure, rather deadened, and those of the North are swollen and blown out through pr trumpets and brass whistles; but there EP ill reason to think that both are bent on “having it out.” And, indeed, the North must do so, even if separation comes, for there would not and could not be an honorable peace if it followed an unavenged defeat in a contest wherein the victors had annouticed beforehand that their opponents were destitute of cour- age and manhood. It would not be pos- sible for the North to live on terms of decent amity with the South if the lead ers of both sides were to agree toa peace morrow. The violence and triumphant jubili tion of the conquerors would render it a mere armistice ef short duration. Those who can see the reconstruction of the great Republic in the warring elements of the great convulsion must believe in some new atomic theory, and in some novel chemistry of political affinities. As I passed the State Department the other day, I observed on the ground great columns of marble in wooden oofin-like cases lying by the road side; near the White House there was similar food for ruins. Above the unfinished dome of the Capitol rises a great machinery of ee and leverage, motionless and life- leas, around the very building in which Senator and Representative keep high debate, lie the vast fragments which at some future re meant to supplement arch and dome— the ideas of a conception not yet brought into being. There are, theft, two sorts of ruins— those of the thing which has been, and those of the thing which is not yet, and may never be atall. [twas strange to see that all the effect of the work of years could be produced by the materials of work unaccomplished. The ublio buildings of Washington are surrounded fore they are completed by the evidences of what they must be when they shall have been destroyed. Before the Republie has finished its temples the ship of the deities to whom they are erected is assailed by terrible heresies. The Capitol can never sec within its dome the Senators and Deputies of the Union, of which it seems no inapt type in its aspiring incom- pleteness. Can any even of the powers most menaced and affronted by the Republic rejoice in its researches among the fragments? Cer- tainly England has not by word or deed within her borders exhibited a trace of the passions attributed to her by many bitter enemies. The reports industriously circulated in some American jour that Great Britain has de- manded, or solicited, the establishment of a free port for the exit of cotton are untrue. There is no foundation whatever fer such statements, which are prepared by the same ple who originate the stories of Admiral ilne’s dispatches and views in reference to the blockade. The indifference to foreign politice which has marked the proceedings of the Congress has been a suitable commen- tary on the mode in which American affairs have been treated in Europe. Mr. Sumner was severely rebuked for alluding to able effects of the increase of the confession of weakness or an indecent intro- duction of an unsuitable element of consider- ation. The bill confi ert rebels » by adi Bs. not- withstanding the energies and argumentative opposttion of Mr. Breckinridge and others: and I send elsewhere some reflections on the mode in which it will be carried into effect. Congress adjourns to-morrow till the 5th of December, unless summoned by the President atan earlierday. Members of Congress are the first to touc! new paper money. On receiving thei ries they were presented with $50 in gold and with $250 in the Treasury notes ar payment for the month. They did not like it. The brokers charge 5 per cent. discount, although the Government pays 6 per cent. interest on the two-year notes, so that there is a loss to the original holder of 8} per cent. per annum if he submits to the discount. These, however, are very trifling matters in consideration of that which is tocome. There is a rumor of an attack on ro. It can only succeed in consequence of incapacity and cow- ardice on the part of the defenders. —— + oe A QUARREL witn a Wirz —Wait until she is at her toilet prerenery to going out.
