‘THE EVENING ST WASHINGTON: OITY: TUESDAY ......... FEBRUARY 17, 1563, e7 BRADING MATTER ON RVERY PAGE. SEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERSSTING TELE. | @RAPHIO aND OTHER MATT RA. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. t The Intelligencer, dealing with “Revola-° tionary Radicaliem,” gives samples from th columns of German papers of the West teem- diag wish the most treaeonabdle appeais—a ia Wendell Phillips—‘to push the Administration from their steols,” because our.rulers do not yield themselves with an entire abandonment to the behests of a fierce and destructive Red Repubticanism. The Chronicle says of the passage of the con- scription tall by the Senate: «The Senate, ina we oo wecannottoo warmly commend, was resolved to make it an earnest evidence thatthis war for the Republic would — be prosecuted to the end. The Senators re- fused to exempt members of Congress, and this exemple was followed as, to other official clarere, and to non-combatants generally. Az Senator Davis, of Ky., well said, +Let those who look to beexemptrd be made to fizht, to P*y, Or toemigrate.’ A bill conceived and car- ried through en this priscipie will awaken the Widest enthusiasm among the ake pe and ‘Will Gill the ranks of thearmy and the Treasury Of the nation atthe «ame time. It will, above ‘Bil. instruct the traitors in armsand the nations et the earth that the American Republic is beginning to put forth its strength against tha Tebeliion. bill by “The passage of this important bi a unanimous vote, without calling a division, is & nobie tribute te the cause of eur country, and & fine exhibition of the surrender of all party ecling.” Mx. Skwarp ony MupIATION.—It was gener- wily supposed that Mr. Seward had touched the highest point of diplomatic ability in the ‘Trent affair. But the people seem more en- thusiastic, even, over his recent reply to Louis Napolecn’s offer of mediation, than they were on the former occasion. The loyal Press, with scarcely an exception, hail Mr. Seward’s ietter &# the long-looked for chart to guide the nation out of the storm. It gives new hope to the despairing citizen, while it inspites the soldier lke a viciory. Our Government is sustained in its ancient renown and dignity by the mas- terly disposit on that is made of its foreign af- faire, both by its Secretary and its Ministers abroad. The volumes of diplomatic corres- pondence already printed, are the best possibie | vindication of its justice, liberality, and power. They have alresdy heen widely read and ap- preciated by ‘hi patriotic and loyal, every- whrre. The latest additions to that corres- pondence—the letters of Mr. Seward, Mr. Day - ton, &c.,—are of the greatest interest and im- portance, and cannot be too generally dissemi- nated among all classes of the people. They are printed by Congress as Executive Docn- ment No. 38 87 A newspaper sheet,known as the Inquir- er, bus, for some time, given much offeace to the loyal citizens of Leayen worth by its trea- sonable course, sud threats were made of de- Stroying the material with which it was print- ed. The proprietor took the precaution to arm & number of his triends and siation them about the office, who, without provocation, fired Upon & citizen who had exerted himself to ; lay the excitement. A large number of shots were fired, and other innocent citizens, as well &s the one aimed at, narrowly escaped being bit. The next day a crowd assembled, when Jennison arrived, and mounting a box, ex- claimed: « Yesterday, this establishment was @ printing office, and 1 Proposed to protect it; this morning it isa Rebel fort, and I propose to Sulit” With this the crowd rushed in and ut- terly demoli-hed everything the establishment | contained and burnt the fragments. BF We bave advices from Mexico to the 20th ult., which are impor‘ant. Conzress adjournrd On fhe 15th, with the full determination of Pros- ecoting the war agains! the French to the bitter | ena. Tha French, contrary to the reports which bave before reached us by way of Ha. _ Yana, have not advanced upon Puebia, but were still at Palmar, thirty miles distant, un- S&bie to move for lack of teams and mules. The | most active preparations were in progress in Puebla for their reception—new works of de- feace having been thrown up at all points. i Sv The Military Committee of the House og Representatives yesterday made a report in re. Istion to the case of Col. Thomas alias « Zar yous or the French Lady.” i: appears that Thomas is in good bodily health, not “hope. ‘easly insane,” as Senator Wall stated, but about assound mentally as ‘he ever was, and undergoing the same confinement that would be his due if turned over to the civil authori- ties, except that he isin the cell of a fort in- Stead of a jail @7 The “sermon” of Rey.

Had the Atiantic cabi+ been ia operation, as proposed by the War and Mavy Departments, the current delay in the operations of the com- bined Union feet and army new assembled on the coaste of the Osrolinas, would have been. sbortened at least ten days. It arises from an accident which rendered the cyliader of the iron-clad Wehawken useless forthe tima being. The existence of the cable would have saved ten days in the arrival ont of the cylinder, al- ready on ite way to repiace the da-naged ene. The cost of this cable would be $!,0W per mile only, and it would be as safe from Rebel mo- lestation as the telegraph lines from New York to Roston. And, further, at the end ot the war the Goverrment could obtain for it from the commercial classes more than its original cost. The want of its facilities are as much feit in conducting the operations of our imm-~n<e blockading ficet, now stretching for twenty- five hundred mites along the coast, and in those of our armies on tho same eoast, as would ba felt in conducting the Government's mii.tiry operations in thy loyal states, were there no or telegraphic lines any where between Wasinz- | ton city and the North and West. It could be extirely completed in four months. While the House persistently refuses to aid the War and Navy Departments military oper- stions on the coast, as urged by the prompt construction of this line of telegraph, they ara gravely debating about constructing nominal- ly for military purposes canals and railre+ds, destined if undertaken to cost the already over- tasked treasury something less than an axgre- gate cf fifty if not a hundred :niilions of dol- lars, to be ayailatie for military purposes sometime between five and ten years hence. There's brains, practicability and economy for you, with & vengeance! THE CLERGY TO BE DRAFTRD. The “blood and thunder” portion of the clergy will, of course, be gratified to learn thay, yesterday, in disposing of the conscription bill, the Senate plumply refused to ex»mot them from military service in their country’s behalf with arms in their hand. As the Honse will doubtiess coincide in their action by a large majority, the clergy of the Beecher, Bellows and Cheever school will, sooner or jater, have &n opportunity te stand the draft. ——~+.02e+ The Invasion of Mexico. THE FRENCH DEFEATED AT ACAYETH AND FORCED TO RETREAT. The New Orleans Picayune of Feb. 34, says, we are indebted to a commercial house in this city for a copy of the following, received per stermship Creole: Vera Cruz, Jan. 9.—Reports have been cir- culated in the city since yesterday that the di- vision ot Gen. Bazine (14,0 strong), which left Jainpa, was attacked by 10,000 Mexicans at Acayrte, on the route to Puebia. The French fell back before the Mexicans, who remained | masters of the field. Gen. Bazine was forced to retreat, with considerable loss. Commani- cation with the interior being cut off, we are without details. Rey. Joun H. Dasuiery. er, who was arrested on Sunday by the milita- Ty authorities upon the charge of pulling down & United States flag from the tront of a Methodist Episcopal Church, still remains in confinement at the Central Police Station. Yesterday morning be was taken to the office of Major Fish. Provost Marshal, and under- wenta brief examination. He acknowledged the act imputed to him, declared that the building was his property, 2nd that he was Very anxious to be released on his parole. Major Fish stated that when Mr. Dashiell first saw the flag he should have inquired whether it bad been placed there by authority, adding that if a mob had approached the place and putup a flag he (Dashiell) would no doubt ave claimed the protection of the military au- thorities. He declined releasing him on his parole tor the present, whereupon he re-oceu- ied his quarters. Yesterday Messrs. Charles y Baker and George M.
