It is almost impossible at this late hour in the morning, to take any but the most melancholy view of the intelligence from the seat of war. We cannot refrain from saying that the conduct of Georgey has been, to use the mildest term, most extraor- dinary. We fear that his surrender will lead to picion of the gravest character. That hitherto renowned Magyar chief has ruined the cause of Hungary. Notice to Subscribers. Subscribers in this city, Brooklyn, Williamaburgh, Jersey City, &o., &c., are assured that the Herald will be delivered at their houses and stores at or before w&x every morning. Those who do not receive it are Pequested to notify us of the delay, and it shall at once be remedied. The Fall Election. Notwithstanding the failure of the attempt to reconcile the two branches of the democratic party in Rome, there is evidence enough before ur, we think, to justify the opmion, that before the time appointed for the fall election to take place shall have arrived, there will be a re-union, im this city at least, if not throughout the State. ‘The barnburners are very much disposed to come mand re-unite themselves with the old hunkers, Ta Pasuvewtiaa Tour cur Snort.—A tele graphic despatch, received yesterday afternoon, informed us that the Presidential tour 1s to be curtailed, and that General Taylor will return ‘as expeditiously as poseible to the seat of government. This alteration in the programme of the tour will FIVE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. prove a sore disappointment to the many thousands HIGHLY IMPoRTiNT INTELLIGUNCE, oo, along the route at first eontemplated, who were awaiting, with unaffected anxiety, an opportunity of testifying their affectionate regard for the chief Magistrate of the republic. Although there can be no doubt that it was wise and prudent thus to cut shert the tour of the President, yet, we cannot help sharing in the general regret that he was not enabled to visit this great metropolis of the Union. Notwithstanding the efforts of a certain little cligwe to turn tle afr to their own account, if possible, the reception or General Taylor in New York “ould unquestion- ably have been, in all respects, worthy the patriotism and intelligence of this city, and of the exalted publie and private character of the Presi- dent. But we must resign ourselves to the unto- ward circumstances which have deprived us of this visit, and while we pray for the speedy restora- tien of the President to his usual vigorous health, look toa future, and we hope, not distant day, when General Taylor will receive the warm and enthusiastic greeting of the great city of New York, This tour of the President has been rather limited; but it has not been unprofitable. Although there was some evident hazard in venturing upon the excursion, in the heat of midsummer and during the prevalence of a dangerous epidemic, yet we could not resist a feeling of great gratification in witnessing the President set out, unattended by any officious cabinet minister, ona tour Sperone) | obgervation among the people. A éabinet is a | very unsafe medium through which to study popu- in order to effect a victory this fall, and come in | for a share of the rewards of their patriotism—the spoils of office. If such a re-union be effected by | the rank and file of both factions, we apprehend that some of the leaders and drummers will find themselves in ratheran awkward position. The | barnburners are, we believe, at last coming to | their senses—they are beginning to realise, at eugth, the iroposition practised upon them by Ex- | President Van Buren, and are coming to the con- | ¢lusion, that in figtting his private battles, and | allowing themeelves to be used by him as instru- | lar opinion, popular sentiments,and popular feelings; | nor is the White House at Washington the very ! best point from which the political firmament may | be observed. We think that there was a great deal of significance in the movement of the Presi- | dent, which has been somewhat abruptly and un- expectedly terminated. Indeed, General Taylor himself, with characteristic frankness, announced that his object was to see the people with his own eyes, and hear from their own lips “what they wanted.” The President has seen large portions of the people; and he has not passed among them either blind or deaf. He is not a man apt to jump at conclusions. His mental operations are, perhaps, rather too slow for some of the locomotive intellects of this day. But General Taylor has not been altogether unaccustomed to reflect. His professional career implies a well- igtined mind —a mind trained to habits of reflection—sober, earnest, sound reflection, The new position in which he has been placed, has certainly not tend- ed to weaken his intellectual forces, General Tay- Jor, in fact, we have every reason to believe, isa man of no common sagacity. His whole course, from the first hour in which his name was mentioned as a candidate for the Presidency, has been marked by great prudence and consistency. The only error with which he is chargeable has consisted in defer- ring too much to his cubinet ia the matter of remo- vals and appointments. But in reference to that, as Will Honeycomb sagely remarked, there 1s a great deal to be said on both sides of the question, and time will doubtless enable us to judge more accu- rately of the subject. This tour has probably enlightened the President himself on this very point, among others, of, perhaps, greater impor- yance. portence, which must have constantly presented itself to the mind ot the President throughout his | chief magistracy altogether to the controlling force of a great moral sentiment operating upon the minds of the great masses of the American people—a sentiment inspired by his ments with which to gratify his resentment to- | freedom from all political cliques or mere party in- waids General Cass and huis friends, who de- | fluencee—a sentiment which swept aside formida- feated his nomination fer the Presidency in 1544, | ble party organizations like a cebweb, and forced they have been wofully deceived and almost ua- cliques and leaders, and corrupt agencies of all done.

The judiciary nominations will be regulated by the members of the bar, no doubt, and whatever may be the result, it 1s reasonable to suppose that competent men will be elected.

The first day’s preceeding» of the Cenvention of the old hunker democracy et Syracuse, (held for the purpose of nominating candidates for State officers,) was received last night by telegraph; and, also, returns of the election in Vermont, sufficient to show the general result in that State—together with a variety of interesting intelligence from Various quarters. By a despatch from New Orleans it will be seen that the interference of the United States Naval Officers with the assemblage of persens (suspected of an intention to migrate to Cuba, or some where else,) at Round Island, meets with little favor in that city, Among the despatches received yesterday, was one relative to the loss, at sea, of the brig “Patriot,” (the St. Patrick it ought to be,) the full particulars of which we published in the Herald on Monday morning last. We are daily receiv- | ing despatches ever the wires, containing what purports to be “ship news.” Hult the time the marine intelligence thus sent is anticipated by the mails. This is not the fault of the telegraph, but of those who undertake to make use of it, in sending news by it to us and to other papers. We also received, last might, « despatch trom Pitts- burgh, announcing the fact that the corporation had succeeded in making certain financial arrange- ments favorable to the clty~antallignnes which we had preciously received.
