ADING MATTER ON BVERY PAGE. yOR INTERESTING TSLE- | g1o AND OPHBR MATTER. a WASHINGTON OITY: oar EARRING Chese 20, 1869. ° SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. Tid Intelligencer quotes from a leading Ger- man paper, the Cologne Gazlte, an interest- ing article by a Prussian officer, lately in the Confederate rervice. The writer, in reviewing «perations from s Confederate standpoint, ar- rives at the conclusion that the immobility of Gen. McDowell's colamn at Fredericsburg sralyzed the forces of General McClellan, hough the writer was under a false impres- sion when he , a3 he seems to do, that the inactivity of Gen. McDowell resulted — Any oversight either of Gen. McClellan or = McDowell. If the latter had been subject the order- of the former, it cannot be doubted that the junciion of the forces at Fredericks- burg with those on the Penineula would have teen effected. How this would have changed the as; of affairs to the advantage of Gen. McClellan, this German critic (concurring with the Prince de Joinville, and indeed with all competertt observers so far as we can dis- cern) does not neglect to state. He pays a high trit-ute to the skill of the dispositions taken by Gen. McClellan in the untoward emergencies thrast upon him, and awards full praise to the ‘yalor and steadiness ot the Union troops. The Republican, treating upon the changes in the Cabinet, advocates “ going the whole hog” in a reconstruction of it, and making it an out- &nd-out radical one. Me says: “If inclined to venture at all upon any ad- vice,we shoald only repeat views which we ave heretofore elaborately ented and ar- gued, that no other VA epson a lent ries is consistent w! theory of republi- om inetitutions, or is |} possible in thisy country at this time. ly satiafied of the trath of these views, we I be best pleased it Cabinet changes which are impending which ought to exist between the President and the party which elevated him to power.” = The CAronicle sustains the suspension of the Writ of Aabeas corpus. OUR MILITARY BUDGEF. = eee THE SITUATION. The “situation” here is even more interesting aod exciting just now than auy in “the field,” as full of the horrors of blood and carnage as ‘the latter is. Washington is, of course, full of Xumors concerning the reconstruction of the Cabinet, none of which are reliable in any par- ticular. We have beard half a dozen “slates confidently named. Also, that Mr. Fessenden had positively been tendered the State Depart- went, and had declined it, except on condition of entering upon its duties with an entire new Cabinet. Further, that a similar tender of the same position had been made to Mr. Sumner; @nd, still futher, thatall the present Cabinet bave already followed the example of Mr. Seward. = We bave to say that up 1a. m. to-day the President had not siguified his acceptanee of Mr. Seward’s resignation; nor had he made any tender of the State Department portfolio to Mr. Fessenden; nor, do we belicye, to any one else. Our efforts to ascertain whether Mr. Seward’s colleagues have tendered their resig- nations bave rot succeeded. ‘We were unable to learn that a single one of them had positive:y taken that sep. The Pres- ident keeps his eWn counsel in the matter so clocely that we are sure no one has received the slightest information concerning the man- Ber in which he proposes to settle the affair. It can lo no good for the Star to specitlate in the premises, so we decline publishing any of the thousand rumors concerning the imbroglio as; if published, they would simply serve to Bnislead the public. 4 MR. SEWARD». Neither Secretary nop Assistant Secretary Seward attend@d at the State Department to- day, uptonoon. They are understwod to have been engaged at their residence preparing for an early departure for their hemes in New York. +e +, 7 In regard to the rumor that Fremont is to be put in command of the army, the New York Journal of Commerce says:—“ There area few people who yeally wish Fremont Placed at the head of the army, and as that is the last folly left to be perpetrated, perhaps the sooner we plunge through the additional scene ef the tragedy the better.” eae Srapes Tecumrs.—Not a yditch” was dug or & “spade” used (except to bury our dead) by our army at Fredericksburg, or under Pope. ‘The result will probably serve to show that the Miuch-sn-ered-at spades are trumps, and that the “dash system” don’t work when opposed to the murderous fire from modern f#tifications.
