The Intelligencer publishes the concluding por- tion of Senator Sumner’s late speech, and, com- menting thereon, says: in mere historical retrospect, and not Atallin self-flattery, that Senator Sumuer, in reviewing the political steps which the Gov- erument has made during the last year, is able to say that the ideas embodied ia the 1 id the policy now adopted by the Executive, in the conduct of the war, are the ideas and the policy which he was the first to develop, and which he has constintly enforced on the ros- trum of popular debate and in the halls of the National Legislature.” The Intelligencer hopes “that the boons an- ticipated by Senator Summer and by the Gov- ernment in adopting? his views may be more than realized.” ‘The Republican again treats upon the New York election, and argues that it,is «both un- necessary and unwise for the managers on Gen. ‘Wadsworth’s side to raise a direct issue, as be- tween fidelity to the Union and sympathy with the Southern rebellion, in their efforts to elect their candidate. This is placing too much on the hazard of a contest whiclt is tobe controlled in great by local and personal influences ;” «that all men of seerssion sympathies are eager to see, and will werk hard to secure, Horatio Seymour's elevation: that it «would be re- garded with pleasure by the Jeff Davis govern- ment as evidence that a powerful reactionary erty is being formed out of the dehris of the orslizved Democracy,” and that European bankers with Lenton! ee ue, verjoyed to sev it the Repwilican canno 5 be: to charge that Mr. § rymour “aspires to be the leader of a Northern organization in fall mpathy with the rebellion, we, in the first piace, increase to an extent that must be ruin- ous, if we jose the stake on + doubtful issue; while at the same time increa<ing the chances against ourselves, by driving over into the most vehement support of this candidate all the thor- ough-going secession element, not merely of the North but of Europe.” Mr. Seymour, accord- ing to the Republicaw, is in favor of evervthinz beneficial to the Sonth, tut + to allege that he is in favor of unconditional submission of the North to the Davis government,” is exposing “national interests to jeopardy for thé sake of influencing a contest which, é¢ven when con- fined within its natural limits, is quite suffi- ciently important.* ++ A REASON WHY Ry this time the country clearly appreciates the great difference between the promptness of the Rebel armies in their movements in (he field, end the lack of such promptness on the part of our armies in similar cases. It also duly ap- preciates the disastrous results of this differ- ence, as seen in repeated Union disappointments and defeats; for all which the Union Generals in command are held responsible by those who de not look below the surface of public affairs. Now, the truth is, in most such eases the trouble lies far deeper than the superficial observer supposes. It is attributable to the so-called “philanthropic” legislation, last winter, of the Tadical majority of Congress, who formally essayed a system of managing our military af- fairs founded on the idea that military offenses id no longer be punished under the flag of United Sintes. The experience of military men since civili- zation began, has resulted in bringing every Goy+rnment in the world to the point of en- trusting ifs commanders in the field with the right of ordering the death punishment to be infiteted upon any man, or officer below the rank of a General. who perpetrates a heinous military crime. That is: on the spot. Our radical Congre-s, however, last winter passed a law forbidding any Union commander to in- flict the death punishment hereafter, and also making it uniawful for them to order the inflic- tion of the Insh as 2 punishment for desertion ; the mitigated punishment for that offense long since adopted by this Government in lieu of the death punishinent (in time of war) yet adhered to by every other Government under the sun. The eonsequence is, while our armies are admirably drilled, they woefully leck diteip- Ine. Every offense coramitted must be referred to # court-martial, (under the direction of the radicals of Cougress,) thongh it is notorious that courts-martial composed of volunteer efficers, as they musi n i exclusively in our servier, fail to do th Tigidly in forty-five out of eve! ¥ i: is further well known th: » fonrths of the military offenses committed cannot be pun- ished with advantage to the public interes unless punished “on the spot.” That is: with far greater promptness than is possible if the al be resorted to. wats to a high pre- Tmivm upon deseriion, straggling, maranding- thieving, disobedience of orders, and indeed in iavor of the perpetration of hundreds of mili- tery crimes, greai and small; culminating nat- urally enough in the total lack of that terrible discipline prevailing in the rebel armies, which hiss so far so effectually deprived us of the advantages of ovr greater abundance of every other element of snecess. Thus their advantage over us im this particular has clearly over- balanced onr advantages over them in every other particular. So much for the ntert. sauce of the radical Ss important particular. Three dayw ago. by the by, at a single swoop, yo less thon jhree thousand deserters, stragglers, &c.. who had been collected in the conyalescent camp near Alexandria, were sent to their respective regiments. Throwing out of the calculation the enormous’ pecuniary loss in- volved in sueh wholesale desertion, stragziing, “&Ke., the public will not fail to realize how it #erves to weaken the hands of our commanders in carrying out the isures of their respective campaigns. The reme and the only one, is in resewing the legislative management of our military affairs from the hands of the incom- Ppetents, whe have so grievon<ly damaged them, as explained above ae ig en Tuer Free Necro Exrepition ro Cestrar AmeERWA.—The departure of the free negro ex- pedision to Central America has been tempor- @rily postponed, owing, it is believed, to the un- Settled political condition of that country, and in order to remove objections which have been Officially interposed to such acolony. Arranze- ments, however, are contemplated which will Satisfy the reasonable expectations both of the government and emigrants. @77It is stated that the naval war medals Which Congress has authorized the President to distribute, in acknowledgment of emiueat Services, will be composed of the same metal for all classes, so that an admiral and a man before the mast shall haye the same distinction. Also, that the specimens in gold, silver and bronze recently struck at the mint were exe- tuted only to show how the medal would ap- pear in different metals. @7 From Hudson Taylor, 331 Pennsylvania Avenue, we have the September number of Blackwood's Magazine.

Troops continue to arrive in Richmond, but in small numbers, and are hurried North to re- inforce Lee. 2 Three or four hundred wonnded arrive daily in Richmond, but are always broughtin during the night, and the papers never mention the number, the desire being apparently to hide the disasters as much as possible from the public. The Rebels‘ are building another Iron-Clad 10 feet long. The Confeds are disgusted with Mary land.— Before Lee's entrance into that State, its re- demption was the theme of all secésh. “My Maryland,” which was heard on all occasions, in parlor, hall and on the street, is now taboued and no one sings it.

Up to I1a.m. to-day, the Government here are understood to have received no official in- tetligence whatever from the battle reported by an Associated Press telegram to have taken place yesterday and the day before, in Ken- tucky. Great anxiety exists among the Wash. ington public for the receipt of official accounts, if but from the fact that the unofficial account received leads to the impression that at least in the commencement of the engagement our troops were hardly able to hold their own with the Rebels engaged, who were in stperior nnm- bers for the time being. Our reinforcements were, however, rapidly coming up. A REMOVAL. Up to this time, a number of the offices con- nected witk the headquarters of the Army of the Potomoc haye necessarily been kept in this city.
