WASHINGTON OITY: | WEDNESDAY . - FEBRUARY 4, 1583, ep BEADING MATERA ON BYERY Page. BBE OUTSIDE FOR IETRRESTING TRLB- @ERAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESe The Intelligencer of this mornizg has a forcibie &rticle pointing out the matual adventage of the Gorernment, the Banks and the Propla threugh the adoption of Mr. Chase’a pian tor Sn uniform naticnal currency. The Intelligencer seems rather to relish the joust imytted by ite “zealous young contempo- zary,” the Chronicic, upon the question of tha duty of the former (insisted on by the latter) to endorse the “@8 Of the Administration through thick and thin; suggests mt the Ciromcle would do better to reply to its argn- mente rather than to compute the number of times ff has presumed to differ from the Ad- neinistration; and conciudes by saying “©*More pleased to praise, yet not afraid to iam, we trust that, alike in the bestowa! of ¥ and blaine, we have shown that we had & better purpose than either to find the Admin- baration always right or always wrong, aud though we may have fallen far below the stan- dard of that inguestioning’ acquiescence pre- ectibed to itself by the Chronicle as equally a cuty and a pleasure, we feel weil assured that some at least of the ‘constituted authorities,” consisting as they do oi more than tha depu: taries of a sing!e department, are avis to app ciate the ‘value’ of a ‘support’ which has so stsbuity for i's basis, remembering, according to that fine phrase of the French, that one can lean only on that which has some power of re- sistance.” The Chronicle defends the court-martial in the case of Gen. Forter, and thinks “that, +o far from being harshly deait with, he deseryad tae judgment flaaliy posted upon him.” +s1e + ELECTED The election of ex-Gov. Morgan e Sen- ate Of the Unied States yesterday, by the New York Legi . is certainly a subject of gen- ation, insomuch as it inyolyed fefest of che radicals, and thus proves t reign of ultrstisw end in that creat Str flanked hy « bostof his we he ground trying + rih to prevent Morzan’s ig that it would invol has eature of what Ar held to be the war policy of the Re- Publican party. Tha to say: of the policy of perveriing war to be a contest tor @robticniem and negro social and ta 1 «quelity, rathe tor restora Acthority of the constitution and la Union over the Si = HOW in @&beilion, Ex- Gov. Morgan is in clese sympathy with Thur- iow Weed upen the questions of the times. which is sufficient to accouut for the intens- anupaiby manifested towards him by Mr Greviey and ail of bis peculiar school. We rejoice ever his election as emt racing positive proof that the power and intinence of radchesiism in our legislative affairs has at Jergth culminated. Henceforward, no only in New York, but throughout ihe loyal States, those who desire to see the war prosecuted tor the purpose for which it was undertaken by the Government will doubtless rapidly azzra- gate their influence and exertions, without ref- erence to their former party affiliations —leaving comparatively sn I inections of disunionists— *“May-and-mediation” men on the one band or “peace” secessionists on the other, toembarrass the due proseention of the war. We have not tire least doubt that the supporters of the war fer its original purpose number eight-tenths of the people of the loyal ten, and that events are Tapidly tending to superinduce such united Aeuon on their part as will prove to the world the power of the Government to put down the Tebelhon. a Of the = of the MK. GREELEY A DISUNIONIST. The New York Trijune of Friday last con- tains a confession of faith of the extremist who controls that journal, npon his « May-or-Medi- ation” policy, which is startling, and which onght to arrest the attention of all candid men an Congress and ont of it: especially of all who bave permitied themsel yes to follow the teach- @ of that journal. The mask is now boldiy wa off, and Mr. Greeley confesses that un- ‘ leos we can crush the rebellion within the next f#-»r months, he is in favor of Accepting the ine- dintion of foreign powers to end the struggle. Why wait four months! Does not Mr. Gree- Jey, and every other man of sense know, that the four months intervening between now and 2@ ist of May are the very wor-t months in all earin which to carry on successfal mili- tary operations! Does he not know that it is Bot within the raage of » tbilities that we shall erush the rebellion in that time? Then why does he propose to wait but four months? Why does he not boldly say that he is in favor of surrendering now? That's what he means, conceal it with words as he may; and thatis what William (ory Jewett, and the Freach Minister, snd Vallandigham all understand hm to mean. Yesterday gold fell to 151: :h@® is, six per << a°um in the last three days. This means that Wail siree length realizes the probability of the enactment of the national bank project of s+ cretary Chase. As that probability increases, the valueot US Government issues—or stocks | Sud currency—will continue to approximate the value of gold, beyond all doubt. That the capitalists and commercial men of the country are awakening to fact that the success of ourarms, as well as the possibility of saying tke Lusiness interests of the country from universal banxraptcy, depends upon the resto. | retion of the Government's credit, is evident in | the altered tone of the press with reference to the Secretary's uational bank recommendation. | NEWS EXPBCTED. | We are now daily looking for most important ; pews Irom the South acd West.

It had ri-en fifteen feet within a month. We have news by this arrival of the depar- ture of Gen. Banks from New Orleans. He started up the Mississippi river with a part of his staff on the 24th ult.,on board the steamer kiChiang. The General had made two or three trips to Baton Rouge and other points on the Mi-sissipp! river; and it was understood that these trips were made for purposes con- nected with the proj-cted expedition againat Port Hudson and Vicksburg. A general movement of troops aud of trs ports has al-o beep made. For some weeks occas anal embapsations for different points on the river have beens ifected, and at the preseat time the troops remaining in New Orleans are not more than sufficient tor its defence. During eight days that the George Washington re- mained the shiping was craduaily sent off. Amvung the vessels were twelve or fourteen large etiam transports that were not loaded. ‘The last of the ves-e¢ls fit to carry troops were lispatched on the 26th—the day before the Geo.

Of the eboye tour were captured and burned, two foundered at sea, five were abandoned st sea, one was burned, and eight are missing, sup- posed lost. The tc‘al yalue of the property Tost and missing is estimated at $1,885,360. @7 There is aditference of opinion among the Phiiadelphia Judges ia the Boileau case. Judge Ludlow ordered the istrict Attorney to pre- pare indictments, and by implication ordered the Grand Jury to endorse them—thus uniting in his own person the functions of complain prosecutor, inditerand judge. But Judge Alli- son, of the same Court, has “arbitrarily arrest- ed” Ludlow in his career by directing the Dis- trict Attorney to send no suck indictment until directed by the majority of the Court. «Ricnmonp Not Wortn TakinG.”—This is the cry now of the Iate “On-to-Richmondites,” and the Providence Posi thinks it must haye been the study all along of our war authorities “How not to take Richmond,” as there seems to be no other way of accounting for the fact of their thwariing the plans of McClellan on three separate occasions, when Richmond was within his grasp but for such interference. @7 James Tilghman of John, and William Evergreen have been arrested near Centerville, Md., on the charge of participating in the de- struction of the sloop Hard Times, near Cente ville. They were arrested by order of the War Department, and confined in Fort McHenry on | last Monday afternoon. last Friday night. They were arrested @7 Gen. Rousseau, en route from the West was taken suddenly ill yesterday at Lancas- ter, Pa, and was compelled to remain at the Cadwell House in that city, a patient in the bands of Dr. Mublenberg.

Even at that price the proprietors declare they will not realize as much &s they did before the inflation of the currency. The second-class hotels have put their board up wo twe dollars per day. @7 Conkling's bankrupt bill was tabled in the House yesterday; but many who voted against it will vote for Foster's bill, now before : the Senate.
