THE EVENING STAR. “SP-RRADING MATTER ON EVERY PAdD. SEB OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TEL*- G@RaPgio aND heichetanad MATTRE. 7 WASHINGTON OITY: WEDNESDAY __... JANUARY 14. 1867, SPIRIT OF THS MORNING PRESS ‘The Chronicle treats upen the probabl: pu-- Poses of the Emprror Napoleon in his mve- Ment upon Mexico, amd thinks it behooves us to bestir ourselves and cet this rebellion off our bands, in order that we may be ably to watch our new and wily neighbor, aed b= ia readi- ness to oppose any movemerts which would be to our detriment. ‘The Intelligencer is without editorial to-day. ~-— eee THE FINANCIAL IMBROGLIO. ‘The country seems likely to suffer quite a3 roach from the impracticanility of the House of Repreeentatives im legislating upon the Hnancial questions of the hoar, as from our mow so evident military inefficiency—quit-. ‘The views of the Commitwe of Ways and Means wpon the best m-thod of extrivating the Government from its financial difficultie:, seem to be diametrically opposed to those of the Secretary of the Treasury, which meet the a@pprebation of all experts in national financial affairs, as far as we can perceive, except those who are personally interested in aiding the state and other note isaning banks to maintain the unnatural privileges they have managed to msanufscture for themselves out of our na- tional and individual embarrassments. In the House of Representatives the contest seems to be narrowrd down to one between the national and general public interes: and those of the currency issuing bankers. Uniess the views of Secretary Chase are made the basis of the financial legislation of the scssion, it seems tw us, sixty days will find the Government ut- terly unable to continue the prosecution of ihe War, Money or credit being as necessiry to thatend, as men. The rapid downward tea- dency ot the credit of the Government should be sufficient to awaken Congress to its duty in the premives; as though apparently prosperous now, the banks mustshare the universal Huan. cial ruin that will result from the bankruptcy with which the House appears to threat-n the Government sod country. SF The New York Tribune shows visible alarm over the so generai manifestation of public opinion demanding the retarn of Gen. McOietian to the command of the army: batia View of the fact that late developments havy cleared Met‘lelian of al! respousi: ¥ for the fsilere of the Peninsula campaign, finds no material for fresh warfare upon that gen<ral, and is obliged to content itself with the aliegs- tion that McCl-ilan disobeyed a peremptory order to move across the Potomac to attack the enemy after the battle of Sharpsburg. The Tribune is unfortunate in its statement, for if it Fefers to the order itself—not to what it was ascerted to Le by others—the 7ribume will find that it was left discretionary with McClellan as to the time and manner of movinz—a dis- cretion no one now, in the light of subsequent events, doubts was wisely exercised by that sagacious officer. Brrort or tue Commissioners FoR THE ABOLISEMENT OF SLAVERY IN THE DistTEtr ov Cottms1a—The commissioners under the act forthe abolishment of slavery in the Dis- trict of Colambia having concluded their labors, will make their report to the Secretary of the Treasury to-day. The number of ap- Plicante for the benefit of theact was about o22 thousand, for nearly three thousand slaves, who were duly examined and valued by aslaye dealer of Eaitimorr. ‘The law appropriates a million of dollars: but only nine hundred thousand dollars of this sum will be paid out, the anthorized averaze for each slave being three hundred dollars. Some of the slaves were judged to be worth Mothing—such as infants, the aged and in- valids, and the amounts withheid from ta-m have been added to those esteemed of higher value than three hundred dollars. PENNSYLVANIA U.S. Skxato2 —Ths Hon. Charles R. Buckalew, democrat, who was WU. S. Minister to Ecuador during the administrs- tion of Mr. Buchanan, was yesterday elect-d (mut “nominated” as the Associated Press des- patch erroneously stated yesterday) a Senator of the United States by the Legislature of Pennsylvania for the term of six years from ‘tbs 4th of March next, to succeed th: Hon. Devid Wilmot, republican. Mr. B. was elect- ea. by a majority of two votes over the Hou. Sion Cameron, Iate Secretary of War und Minister to Russia. 97° A despatch to the Cincinnati Gazette, dvted Jan. 6, states that Rosecrans had been lsfgely reinforced, and that his advance was Diteen miles beyond Murfreesboro’. It also @#erts that we have taken more prisosers du- mg this brief pursuit than we did during the battles. A Rebel Tennessee regiment, two banered etrorg, threw down their arms and Sve th: mselves up in a body. ST it in a significant fact that the mo-t Popu- Isr song now on the street and in places of amusement, where soldiers “most do congr:- gate,” is that entitied « McClellan Again at the Head of his Men.’ Its performance never fails to bring every bine-jacket on his feet, with three times three, and a tiger, by way of ap- plause.

Pelow we priut an extract from a private lett roof the Inte Commander Wainwright, U. !. XN. which in giving s clear and euccinct neoount of the difficulties by which he was eurrounded when recently attemp ing to boil Ue harbor of Galveston for the Union, at the eane time explains why bis attempt so to do proved a disastrous failure. We may no! in- rppropriately add that it ie well known here that when we took Galveston Admiral Farra- fut urged on Gen. Butler the impor rencing a thourand troops to aid the n: boiding it. His request was not complied with, b-cause, as he allexed, all he could then spare from New Orleans were at that time engaged in certain Louitianaexpeditions. He promi-ed to despatch them on their return to his head- quarters. They were not sent, however—ind we loet Galveston: Gry Galveston, Dec. 11, 12°2.—We are oc- cupying a very disagreeabio posi ijn here; lay- ing off the town holuixg the harbor, but without tufficient force to occupy the city. The Uon- fecerates, who hold Virzinia Point on the main 1 nd, about five miles off, have free access to the town over the railway bridge which con- nects Galvestun Ieland with the main. They also keld a battery guarding this end of the bridge; the water being co shallow that we cannot get within gunehot of either. They are yn And out all the time, which renders it unsafe for us to 20 on shore; as we should be liable to be gobbled up at any moment. So we have to stick to our veesel-, and, in consequence, feel the want of exercire on terra firma sadly. We have constant reports that we are to be Attacked both from the water and the shore; which keeps us continually on the alert. We baye £0 many rumors that we are getting tired of hesring them, and would really prefer some cemonstration on the partoft the enemy, to the ney er-ending suspense and anxiety on the sub- ject. We should not care a sixpence for the whole party, if we had room to more about it; but we are anchored in a sort of natural canal where there is not sufficient space totura round. Yeu haye to be pointed fair before you can go either « It they come at us with their light draft boats, which are able to go anywhere in the bay, you sie whatan advantage they will haye over us.

EDITION. To-day, Major Gene: al John Pope was cross- examined, deigiling the history of his more- mente and plans fer his several army corps to purene en the 27th, 2th, and 2h August and also the movements ef Jackson's and Long- street's corps of the enemy, against which be wes principaliy contending. His testimony wenttoshow that Jackson's escape was the result of the fiilure of the division of Gen. King to r mal: holding its ground on the night of the 2th, as he bad ordered it to do. He slso tertified that though Sigel was placed under Gen. McDowell's command on the 25th, from a tempurary necrerity, he was certainiy not under McD's command on the 2%n August, the temporary necessity having expired on the afternoen of the 93:h; that on the 20th, through- out the day, he repeatedly gave orders direct to Sigel, in person, and sent others to him by members of his staff, and c uid sot see how Gen. S. could entertain the idea that MeDoweli ‘wss over him on that day. g Me further explained the propriety of Mc- Dowell’s having gone down on the 2th, from the porition of his force, to Manassas, where he (Pope) wae, to give him necessary informa- tion. He alsoaverred his belief that MeDowrll had discharged faithfully his whole duty when counecied with the Army of Virginia, and de- served unstinted thanks of the country on that WASHINGTON THBATER.—Mise Lucille Wes- H tern will to-night appear (for the first time in this city for several weeks) in the great moral drama of Bast Lynne.

The critical, experienced and educated portions of the play- going people of Washington have, by their presence and support, acknowledged her as umong the very best of our modern actresses: while the journalists of Philadelphia, Boston, Laltimore and New York have spoken with re. markabte unanimity in her praise.
