on ene acumen NEW YORK HERALD. New Youu, Weane. iy, January TH, WAT, Military Intelligence. Our private advices from Washington i a mili- tary point of view, are somewhat interesting It is understood to be the intention of the Presi- deat, if the bill to raise the additional regiments of regulars passes the Senate as it came from the House, and becomes a law, to accept voluntee regiments, to be enlisted as regulars, and to nomi_ nate the officers of their selection to the Senate for confirmation. This will be a capital and highly popular move- ment, and one that will be the means of immedi- ately filling the regiments. Affairs in Albany. The proceedings in the State Legislature are becoming somewhat interesting, and not unlike those in Congress. The.war in Mexico, the ac- quisition of new territory, and the slavery proviso, are the principal features of both legislatures. Those who assert that the Van Buren-Wright section of the Huge Paws urged the Hon. Mr. | King to make his “ personal explanation” in the | House, in Washington, opening up the slavery | question, now maintain that there isa singular milarity in the movements in Albany and Wash- | ington, and that the whole originates in the de- | feat of Silas Wright in this State. Our arrangements are complete to give fall and graphic reports by telegraph, and by mail, of the | proceedings in Albany, in and out of the legisla- | ture. | ‘The latest intelligence from that quarter will be fourd on the outside of this days’ paper. Financial Policy of the Government Finally | Developed. An issue of twenty-three millions of dollars in Treasary notes has been finally deter- mined upon, the Committee of Ways and Means | having a bill to that effect ready for presentation in the House of Representatives. This is the amount required, with the ordinary revenue from customs, lands, &c., by the Secretary of the Trea- sury, tocarry onthe government and the war until | the close of the fiscal year in 1848. Should the war be closed before that time, the whole amount | authorized to be issued, under the new act, will | not be wanted; whereas, were direct loans made | for the whole amount, for a long period, the gov- | ernment would be compelled to pay interest for a | larger sum than it actually wanted. | The proposed Treasury note bill provides for funding these notes, at the option of the holders, into astock, bearing interest at the rate of six per cent, the same rate they bear upon their face.— | They will be issued as the wants of the govern- | ment call for them, and a large amount of inte- rest will therefore be saved. The law will, with- out doubt, be so framed, that the issues must be | made at par, but they will range below par in the | market, as it becomes supplied by increased is- | sues. This depreciation may rule from three to five per cent, but we do not believe they will go below the highest of these rates. The Government may not lose anything by | this depreciation directly, but it will indirectly, as all contracts for suppl esto the army or navy, and everything furnished to carry on the war, will be charged in proportion to the discount upon the paper received in payment; and in this way the Secretary will be able to get out the notes at par, although they may be at the time selling at | ninety-five or ninety-eight centson the dollar. It is our impression that even this, is much better than making a direct loan, as capitalists would take every advantage of the embarrassment of the Treasury, anda loan could not be made for any part of the amount short of several per cent discount, even ata higher rate of interest than those Treasury notes bear. Should the Govern- ment lose anything directly or indirectly by any depreciation in the Treasury notes, it will not | vary much from the loss it would experience from a discount on a direct loan. ‘Trese Treasury notes will become a valuable addition to the currency of the country, they will add so much to our circulating medium, and be sought after for payments to the government, for remittances from one part of the Union to the other, for the regulation of our internal exchan- ges. Our money market will be much relieved by the appearance of a large amount of these notes; and take the system as a whole, it is the best, un- der existing circumstances, thatcould be adopted. It is the best, because it will neutralize the In- dependent Treasury act, doing away completely | with the demand for specie the enforcement of that act would otherwise create. By the time these Treasury notes become absorbed, we trust | the war will be terminated, when this act will | have no particular influence upon the operations ofthe commercial classes, other than that con- templated by its framers. When the Government | can move along in its ordinary course---when its expenditures are no more than of an ordinary | | character—when the tariff is only required to | po produce a revenue sufficient to meet the usual expenses of the government, the beauties of the Independent Treasury act will be fully demon: | strated, and its advantages will be fully realized. | In another column we give a communication | from a very distinguished financier, in relation to the operations of the [Independent Treasury Act, | We cannot coincide with the writer in all his | views, but upon the principal points we decided- | ly agree with him. Assrmpty Districts.—We perceive that the | Supervisors throughout the State, are dividing | and’ apportioning their counties into Assembly | districts, in compliance with the new State Con- stitution, adopted at the last November election. | ‘The work goes on swimmingly, and the task has | been completed in about one-third part of the Srate. Ina few weeks more we haveno doubt the whole State will be apportioned in this way. The provision of the new constitution directing | this apportionment is founded on wisdom, and | will tend to make our elect‘ons purer than they | wore ever before. In New York city its effects | will be felt more sensibly than in any other part, for it is here that the most corruption in elections exists. Instead of a general ticket, framed by a elique of wire pullers and curtained gentry at | ‘Tammany Hall and elsewhere, without reference to the ability or qualification of the candidates, being submitted to the people, as has been the | case hitherto, the citizens of the city and county | of New York will select from among themeelves | candidates who must be residents of the dis- | tricts in which they are nominated, and who must be elected by the votes of residents of those dis- tricts alone. We have at last a prospect of our elections being pure, and the candidates elected by the honest votes of the people. ‘The city and county of New York being enti- tled to sixteen members of Assembly, will, of course, be divided into sixteen assembly districts. Matis ror Evrort.—The packet ship York | shiré, Captain Bailey, takes the place of the steamer of the 16:h inst. This packet, under the | command of Capt. B., is equal, in speed, to any | steamer, and the stoppage ofthe mail boat for | that day will never be noticed. It will be recol- | lected that Capt. B. brought over tie charming little Viennoises in sixteen days and a pirouette — | These beautiful children were so delighted with him and bisship that they danced the splendid Pas des Flewrs on his quarter deck in coming up the harbor, and on Saturday presented him with a magnificent silver pitcher, with their hearts ens | graved all over it—all of which was very beautiful | and touching. Hogtown Parens.—We are indebted to Phillips & yesterday, in advance of tho mail. | helon | tress that evs | tifud concert r Haven Express for Bosion papers of | j rods beyond the Boston aprove of this coutemplated addition to our re- | gular army, as an evidence of vigorous action in | P. the present war, the only means by which an | early and honorable peace can be obtained, we are nevertheless strongly impressed with the idea that the description of troops asked for has not | Lynch’s), Wall street, shows0 the state of the weather been carefully enough considered. It appears to us that the proportion of cavalry is by no means | adequate to the nature or wants of the service in the campaign before us, particularly as our troops advance further into the interior, and open coun try. If we mistake not, there is but one regiment of regular cavalry, the 2d dragoons, at present available for field service in Mexico, the first regi- ment of dragoons being, for the most part, en- | gaged in New Mexico and California; while in this arm of the service the Mexicans are remark- ably numerous and efficient. We should suppose that the great difficulty ot procuring disciplined bodies of volunteer caval- ry, or efficient officers, should make this most important branch the peculiar care of the govern- ment; and it is to be regretted that it has not hi- therto received that encouragement and attention here, which the advancementof military science has secured for it amongst the armies ot Europe. The disposition there has been to increase and give the utmost efficiency to that arm, particular- ly so with regard to light cavalry, of which most useful and favorite force, strange as it may ap- pear, we have nota single regiment. The duties ng to this arm have, consequently, to be performed by either our cavalry of the line or in- fantry, tothe great detriment and inconvenience of the service in general. An efficient and powerful cavalry is indispensable in war Victo- ries may, aud have been won without cavalry, but they cannot be successfully and rapidly followed | up, and trken full advantage of, and have on nue merous occasions led to no important results where a deficiency or absence of this arm has existed. A flying enemy cn soon rally, if not | rapidly overtaken and attacked in the moment of disorder; for this service cavalry of the line are particularly adapted, as wellas to engage with the cavalry and infantry cf the enemy; while the no less important duties of reconnoitermg and giving intelligence of the enemy, scouring the country, feeling the way for, and masking the operations of the army, guarding the outposts, foraging, skirmishing, hanging on the flanks of the enemy, cutting off his convoys, and num- berless other duties, that harrass and embarrass troops of the line, belong peculiacly to light ca- valry. It, in fact, as Marshal Marmont has aptly said, “forms the eye and ear of an army, and ; without ita General marches blindfold, and is surrounded with danger at every step.” Thus viewing the subject, as we believe, cor- rectly, we shall sincerely rejoice should these re- marks, emanating from an ardent desire for the glory and prosperity of our brave army, find favor with those to whom its future destiny is en- trasted. Tux Greatest Joxe Yet.—We see by the re- ports of the debates in the House of Representa- tives, that itis the opinion of the Hon. Mr. Fick- lin, of Illinois, that “Old Rough and Keady” has not conducted the war with true military skill, that the old soldier, without men or pontons, was at fault beeause he did not pursue the Mexi- cans across the Rio Grande, and cut the thrdatsof every mother’s son of them. We recommend Mr. Polk to make this Mr. Ficklin the Lieutenant General of the Army. Noricg.---To the papers which copied without credit the South American news, given exclusive- | ly in our columns of yesterday, we would recom- | mend a substitution of the words ‘Isthmus of Darien” for that of “Suez.” The Brazilian go- vernment probably has but little interest about the waters of the Red Sea. Musical. Itauiax Orrna.—The beautiful opera of ‘Linda di Chamouni,” so successfully produced by the new troupe, will be repeated this evening. After one more represen- tation, it isto be withdrawn, to give place to “Lucia di Lammermoor.” We are glad that thus far Palmo’s has been attended by most crowded and sppreciating audi- ences, and that the Singers have, one and all, become, in Loe own particular parts, great favorites with the public. Tue Auteonasians.— These populer vocalists will give an entertainment at the Brooklyn Female Academy, to morrow evening, Their songs are, many of them at least, new, and given ina style which never fails to de- ight. Theatricals, Panx Tueatre.—Mrs. Mason and Mr. Wheatley ap- peared last night, in Edward Moore's celebrated tragedy of “The Gamester,” Mrs. Mason.taking the part of Mrs Beverly, and Mr. Wheatley that of Beverly. From what we have already said of the performances of these great actors, the public no doubt expect ua to say that these two parts were performed last night in a manner highl; creditable to both. ‘This we do fassurediy aay, and fus- thermore, that we consider Mrs. Mason’s personation of her part equal, if not superior, to that of almost any ac- appeared on the Pack boards. The bill fort! vening is “The Wife,” Mrs. Mason as Mi na, and Mr. Wheatly as Julian St. Pierre, which, with the pos the “Critic,” will comprise the evening’s amuse- ny THxatre.—Mr. Vache’s benefit last evening was extremoly well attended, and the house was well filled. The comedy of “Specd the Piough,” was frst presented, with « very excellent cast. N "8 b Handy was very well sustained, and Vache as Sir Ate Handy wes excellent. Hadaway’s Farmer Ashland kept 6 ho Mies Jalia Drake as Miss Biandiord, performed with a degree of cleverness and ability that was Youdly applauded. The engagement of Miss Dreke and Mr Chavinan, in addition to the excellent stock company, will be preperly appreciated by the friends | and patrons of old Bowery The entertainments of the sere passed off with entire success. This evening, the “ Wizard of the Wave” and “ The Yew Tree” will be reproduced. Either piece would in itself serve as sufficient source of attraction, and there will be a full and crowded house on the occasion. Amenican C: ‘The American circus was, a usual, crowded te excess last evening. The fighting ponies had their usual “ friendly bout,” and Tom Thumb delighted the house with his nimble and practised leap, ing. Cinderella’s astonishing feats, coupled wijh those of May Fly, drew forth extreme opplause. Carroll's | fiver or more manly little fellow of six ye lo may be deemed a sort of nrodig when ‘dinary performance is taken inte con: derat i Master Hernendez may be considered another ja prodigy; and the combined talents of the en- tire company, give Sands, Lent & Co.,a strong claim upen the public patronage, which they so fully and de servedly enjoy at present at their circus, in Chatham Theatre. _ Avtamnna.—This ‘pleasant establishment re-opens to- morrow night, on which occasion Signor Ro: the great ventrilog’ d magician, will make hi rance. Mivs Hiffert, the vocalist, with Mi rison and Holman, are engaged to his assistance. Mr. Nearie, a woll+ried favorite of the public, will take his benefit at the Bowery Theatre to-morrow o ing. The mere notice of the fact should be enough to fill the buil with a host of friends. We may stat however, that he offers on the occasion one of the moi attractive bills of thé jon. Give Neafie a bumper to- morrow night; he well deserves it. Esrentainment ix Ne Mr. J. B.

A entleman in this city received a letter a few days since & an oflicerin Gen.

In possession of this information, a rapid rch to Saltillo, and taking possession of that place. would cut off communication between Gen. Wool’s column and the forces immediately under the command ofGen. Taylor. Gen. Wool’s camp at Parsas is west and a few points north of Saltillo, 115 miles distant; San Luis Potosi is almost directly south of Saltillo, the great road fiom San Luis Potosi to Saltillo passing 9 short distance east of General Wools comp. If Santa Anna took this roxd, General Wool would be apprized of the advance of tho enemy in sufficient time to break up his camp and join Gen, Worth at Saltillo; but there ia a read merked onthe maps, from Zacatecas to Saltillo direct, which is prebably the road preferred by the Mez:ican chief, and, should he succeed iu reaching Saltillo before Goneral Worth could be well reinforced, it is possible the place may have to ho evacuated, as no force of consequence could be spared nat Monterey.

O’Neil called out loudly for help, and while they lay in the gutter, clinched together, officer Long came to his a nce, when the rascal was secured and conducted to the Station-House, where, on being search- ed, the above property was found on his person, her with a brace and bit, gimblets, matches, kc., such as are commonly used by burglars. fore Justice Drinker, he stated that he wastonly ten daysinthe country, and committed the robbery purely through want.
