E ‘The Chronicle calla the attention of the party im the North who are in favor of a peace with the South, to the fact that the Rebels insist that De peace can be thought of apart frum separa- toe. The Chronicle hardly blames Jeff. Davis for deciaring sll commissioned officers of the United States felons; for, it argues, he hs been encouraged to it by the course of Northern newepapers ; the cowering of Northern puli- tioiams ; denouncements of the government by mémters of Congress ; propositions of forviga mediation and of an armistice; sympathy with the rebel cause by men of influence; avowed secessionists being allowed to live anmolest-d wader the laws of the Union; spirs aad traitors beimg rel ased and set at large; and svowed opponents of the Administration haying been ticoted to offices of boner, trust aud profit.

Se THE NATIONAL FINAN ‘The country sees with increasing apprehen- sion the apparent continued determination of | the House of Representatives to put a stop to | the due prosecution of the war, involved in its , persistence in resisting the suggestions of tha - ernment circulating medium. Throwing eut of consideration the palpable fact tha: the representatives of the banks in Ueogress are thus doing far more to insure a they defeat the Secretary's recommendations i they speedily stop all military supplies and disband the army—they are virtually striving te rob every man of their constituents not more deeply interested in affording the banks a2 opportunity to repudiate in the end, than in warding of universal bankruptcy. Sbhall+he war be efficientiy prosecuted, and grmeral bankruptcy be warded off! Or—shall the oligarchic Confederacy be speedily ac- Bmowledged, and the existing business inter- cow of the loyal States destroyed, that the banks may continue for brief season longer to eujoy the current unlawful privilege of is- suing news without limitation, unsustained by specie im their vsults to redeem them, and to cecape peying their fair share of the war tax at the same time 7 ' THR CIVILIAN PRISON BRS.

Lisoors, te. ters Army of the Potbmac, frag Seni Commodore, April 1, 1552. Major Gen, N. P. Banks, Com'dg 3b Army Corps: Generai:— The change in affairs in the Val- | ley of the Shenandoah baz readcred necessary & correcponding departure—temporary at least | - from the plaa we some days since agreed upon. in my arrancements I asenme that you have & force amply «ufficient to drive Jackson beforo you, provided he is not reinforced largely. I alto zesume that rou may tind it impossible to find anything towards Manassas for some days, probably not until the operations of the main army have diawa all the rebel force towards | Ri. bmond. You are aware that Gen. Sumner has for some cays been at Warrenton Junction, with two diviticus of infantry, «ix batterics, and | tworegiments of cavairy, and that a recon. Dé iseance tothe Rappahannock forced the en- emy to destroy the railroad brigde at Rappa- hbauneck station, on the Orange and Alexan- Grin Raitrond, Since thst time our cavairy | have found nothing om this cide of the Rappa- hanrock in that direction, and it seems clear | that we have no reseon to fear any return of the rebels in that quarter. Toeir movements near Fredericksburg also indicate a final alancornment of that arighborhood, i doubt whether Johnston will now r-in- tirce Jackson with a view to offensive oper- ations. The Ume has probavly paseed when I have ordered one of Sumner's divisions (tbat of Richardson) to Alexandria for em- Larkation, Blenker’s has been detached from the Army of the Potomac and ordered Ww re- port to Gen. Fremont Abererombie is probahiy st Warrenton Junc- tion to-day—Geary at White Plains. Two regiments of cavalry have been ordered cut, and are now on the way to relieve thetwo regiments of Summer. Four thousand infantry and one battery leave Washington at once for Manaseas. Some three thousand more will Move in one or two days, and soom after three thourand additional. I will order Blenker to move on Strasburg, and report to you for temporary duty; so that, should you find a large force in your front, yeu can avail yourself of his aid. As soon as pos- sible, please direct him on Winchester, thence to report to the Adjatant Generai of tae Army for crders—but keep Lim until you are sure what you bave in front. In re gard to your own movements—the most important thing is to throw Jackson well back, and then to assume euch @ position as will en- able you to prevent his retura. As soon aa the railwsy communications are re-ostablished it will be probably important and advisable to move on Staunton; but this would require communications and & force of 25,000 to 30,000 for active operations. It should also be nearly concident with my own move on Richmond. At ailevents not eo long before it as to enable the rebels to concentrate on you and then re- turn on me. i tenr that you cannot be ready in time; although it may come in very weil with a force jess chan I have mentioned, after the main battle near Richmerd. When Gen, Samaer lenves Warrenton Junction, Gen. Abercrompie will be placed in immediare command of Ma. nazsas and Warrenton Junction, under your general orders. Please inform me frequently by telegraph and otherwise as to thr utate of things in your front. lam very troly yeurs, (Signed,) Geo. B. McUrertas, Major General Commanding. P. &8.—From what I have just learned it ould seem that the two regiments of carairy intended for Warrenton Junction have gonets Harper's Ferry. Of the four additional regi- ments placed under your orders, two shouldas promptly a8 possible meve by the shortest reute on Warrenton Junction. I am, sir, very respoctfully, your ob't sary"t, Gro.
