THE EVENING STAR. | WASHINGTON CITY: _ s A\TURDAY........ FEBRUARY 3 se. ev BRADING MATTER ON BVENY Paea. 6BB OUTSIDE FOR INTRAMSTING THL»- GRAPHIC AND OTHEE MATTER. SPIRIT OF THN MORNING Press. ‘Tho Intelligencer cannot ace that the Empo- Yor of the French bas, in his correspondence or ‘speschi¥s, betrayed any “persistent pur- pose” to interfere in American difficulties, a5 _ ae been to him by the New York Times and other papers. ‘The Chtonicle is without editorial to-day. tee TREASON AND OTHER THINGS. « Copperhead” Vallandigham—so he styles himseli—made a speech at Newark, N. J.,on Saturday evening, wherein he strove to distin- gvieh himeeif as mach by calumny of the Sec- Tetary of State and misrepresentation of his v-+ws snd purposes as by the utterance of bold, unalloyed treason. His assaults upon Mr. Seward are in the samo spirit that marks the outpourings of Greeley’s matlignity—the off- apring of unsatisfied desire for office. He holds him responsible for the “arbitrary arrests” of which he'clamors so constantly, and which are acknowledged to have been one of the most effective blows struck at the rebellion, and in the eame breath charges that he is seeking to piace bimeelf at the head of a “conservative party,” and avowing as his policy that « We will prosecute the war gently; we will have tha war kang on.” Whetner this coincidence in sentiment between the Obto “copperhead” and the New York radical is significant of a formal aliance and affiliation in the pursuit of com- mon o}jects and the gratification of concurrent malice, and whether, if a0, the radical is to don the -*butternut” .and become a « copperhead,” or toreceive the quondam prison confessor of Jobn Brown and fellow inquisitor with J. M. Msson into bis striped and speckled political fumily, will be developed in due time. There is a difference in the declared treasonablie pur- poses of these new allies; but it can doubtless beensily harmonized. Greeley consents to con- tinue to sustain the Government till the first of May, and is then fordisunion. Vallandigham lifts the voice, and, if he dared, would lift the Arms, of a traitor againstthe Unionnow. Ifthey cannot by mutual concession arrange their dif- ferences sooner, the first of May will soon be here, and they will then find themselves on the same platform. With all his calumnies and threats Aud iraitorons yaporings, bir. Vallandi- gham fives sume evidence of common sense in announcing bis Own judgment that he could be more neeful elsewher@ than “in the halis of legisiation.’ In this opinion the people of the third congressional district of Ohio se-m to conenr. If the term of the present Congress Was not so near its close, the House of Repro- sentatives would probably manifest its appro- bation of the same view by purging itself of the octtm of association with one whose labors are #0 openly in the interest of the oligarchy. PASSED, The cause of the country as involved in the war has fairly triumphed over both secret sym- pathy with the cause of the oligarchy and the fancied local interests which haye been com- dating it, in th> House of Representatives, ia yesterday's triumphant paseage of the Bank bifl. We cave it hearty support; not because fayoring 8 National Bank policy per se, but as embracing the only possible means of rescuing the value of what is now necessarily the na- tional currency from its present condition. We believe the enagiment of the bill cannot f.il to create, trom first to last, a legitimate business Cemand for perhaps a thousand million of Government securities, and that that demand will so counteract the labors of the speculators in gold, and those of the sympathizers with the treason of the times to “bear down” the value of these securities, as to keep them at a point in the money market which will enable the Goy- ernment to command, past peradventure, tho financial meanx of putting down the rebellion. An¢c, further, that without this legislation it would have been utterly impossible to put it down in due time, even if aU our great armies win the victories it is hoped they will achieya this spring. We huve not the slightest deubt that they will win sufficient of these to change entirely the aspect of our military affairs; and that thus, with the help of the change in the aspectof our financial affairs resulting from the new and extensive demand for our national securities growing out of the enactment of the Bank bill, the cause of the restoration of the Union wiil speedily be placed upon the footing 20 ardently desired by all who are truly loyal. Tur Second HaRTFORD Convention.—The Democratic Convention of Connecticut has nominated M.'T. H. Seymour for Governor of. that State. The policy of a cessation of hostili- ties with the rebels is boldly proclaimed. The doctrine of State sovereignty and independence is asserte@ in the first resolution, while the | « heresy of secession” is repudiated in the third. ‘The conscription bill is declared to be subyer- sive of the sovereignty of the States, and the State authorities are called upon to “sternly Fesist” its operation. The “banking system” adopted by the Senate is pronounced unconsti- tutional and dangerous to ths principles on | which our Governmentisfounded. Theeman- | cipation proclamation is assailed. Conneeticut has not sufficiently escaped from | Une stigma of the first Hartford convention to be able to trifle with its repatation by so flagrant 4S repetition of that treasonable affair. ®7 The House yesterday did a most impor- | tant day's works. The Senate bill to provide 4 National currency, &r the Bank bill as it is | arually called, was passed—yeas 74, nays 61. it only needs now the approval of the Presi- dent te become a law. Congress seems deter- mined to push forward the businces of the seesion with requisite promptitude. 7 It ts stated thatthe Presidenthas received a letter from Genegal Cameron, resigning his | position of Minister to St. Petersburg; and that | Cassius M. Clay, having been reappointed, | ‘will receive bis instructions, and proceed at | onee to St. Petersburg. —_—<—<<$$—$—_____.

Particulars of the recent fight in which it is alleged that 500 Mex- icans had defeated 1,200 French, were pubdlish- ed in the Heraltdo of Mexico. But Mttle crodit was given to them howrrer. The French rails at Vera Oraz have nothing to say of | alleged battle, aud no particulars of the combat whatever, had heen received at the French headquarters in that city. The abandonni nt of Jalapa by the French hed caused some excitment in Mexico, and re- ports said ithad been again taken possession of ty the Mexicans. The Freach had also given up several other small towns. ‘ae acid that during the French occupa- tion of Jalapa many soldiers had bern assassi- | rated by the people, We have the particulars of the bombardment } of Acapulco. hese, however, have already i teen published here, | The abandonment of Jalana was probably | caused by a desire of Gen.

Mexican‘acconnts also stato that the forces of “the enemy were between Perote, San Andes, Chalchicomnia, San Angustine, Quechoiac and Fecamachua—Acatzuigo had been occupied by troops of Ortega. Forey was stillat Orizaba, though his arrival had beoa announced at Angoustine del Palmer. From the Veracrnzano we learn, by way of Jalapa, the reports had reached that place an- nouncing the arrival of Gen. Losado and other conservative officers at Guadalajora. it was rumcred that a serious dispute had taken place between Comonfort and Ortega,— but the precise nature of it is not ascertained. Desertions were very frequent from among the troops in Puebla and the surrounding country—cansed by the scarcity Of prowisions, many of the men being half starved. A conspiracy, it was stated, hatl been discov- ered it the brigade of Gen. O'Haran, and that a numter of officers wére implicated in it. As the French troops were leaving Pnebla it was reported that they had been fired upon by the people, and 2 number wounded.
