Under the new order of things enforced by the late disast Manassas, and under the vigilant eye of General McClellan, the yovern meut at Washington is making some astounding diseoveries in the ramifications of this Southern rebellion, Most important among these dis- coveries are those in reference to certain finguished fer:ale rebel spies who have been suddenly checked in thelr inglorious caree Mrs. Dr. Gwin, the wife of ex-Senator Gwin, of California; Mrs. Phillips, the wite of the ex member of Congress Phillips, of Alabama, and Mrs. Greenough, another accomplished high life secessionist, are particularly prominent among the rebels in crinoline who have thus fallen under the special attention of the War Office; and the discoveries made in this connec- tion,as even in our Washington despatches, throw a flood of light upon the battle of Ball run. If yesterday, for example, in a trank og Madam Gwin there were found, carefully be- stowed among a lot of innocent looking shirts, | some very useful maps and plans of ail the for- tilications in front of Washington, ii may be § ¥ inferred that tronk, shirts and maps were intended for the camp of Be vd. Nay, more, we have in this little matter a clue to the mystery of those important government maps and plans which the rebels lately left behind them in their hasty flight from Fairfax Court Mouse on the approach of our army; and we are at liherty to guess how Beauregard was so rainutely informed of this advance, and of our pian of attack upon his lines, as to he ready to mect it at every salient point with over ing numbers. These distinguished fem’ p rebel couiederates and spies at Washington will explain it all. We are at liberty now to say, too, that these fase, “ting female secessionists, ond others até tached to the Cabinet and the court circles OF Mr. Buchanan, Were; perhaps, more instrumen. peli thian evemOyh, Floyd and Thompson in bringing down the late {dministration to the dogs and our country into this terrible intes- tine war.

Fort ! fayette has now within its walls a very inter- esting company of interesting charact: secession type, including the Hon. Vi ler, for some years the husband of Iuuny Kemble, and including, also, the handsome amiable, but misguided secession Mayor Herret, of Washington, Baltimore policemen, rebel financiers and diplomats, and maritime adven_ turers, In all these things we now begin to realize the stubborn fact that our glorious days of peace have been superseded by a positive and terrible war, involving the simple issue of gov- ernment or no government. Our government, established by Washington and his cotempo- raries, is menaced with destruction. ‘The enc- my’s pickets are to-day overlooking our na- tional capital, and a gonvenient and boasting rebel army threatens to oceupy or to destroy it, At such a crisis it would be folly to expect the indulgences of a condition of peace and security to traitors and their agents and emissaries, male or female. In this struggle of life or death the government cannot stand upon technicalities or galluntrics, or any such dangerous trifes. It must mect thi rebellion at all points and in all its disguises, and strip it of its false pretences wherever they can be detected. It is gratifying to know that the Cabinet at Washington has at length been. groused to the necessity of a vigilant search for rebel eim'saries, beginning in the city of Washi and that Northern secession newspa P to be reduced to astate of war. In all this business it is ouly ne- cessary to look beyond the southern line of our army tolearn, to its fullest extent, the com hensive vigilance which governs the rebel Sia against ev nan and every woman suspected of sympathies hostile to the rebel cause. Our people, even in this ordeal of war, would not tolerate such a despotism. We, at least, have ty for it; but itis necessary on our part, ae far as possible, to put an end to this business of “aid and comfort” to the enemy from this side our army lines in every shape are aleg re- \ and form. Greeley’s Card—“Just Once’=How Keeps His Vows. We reprint to-day Horace Greeley’s card headed “Just Once,” published in the Tribune immediately after the battle of Ball run, in or- der that the reader may compare ft with the present course of that journal, and see how well he has kept his promises to an indignant peo- pie. Long before the battle of Bull ran the standing war eryof the TJridune was, “On to hinond!” and every day some fresh attack, some insinuation of treason, was published in its columns against General Scott, because he did not order an immediate advance upon Rich- mond, by way of Manassas Junction; and the members of the Cabinet were assailed in the inost bitter terms because they permilied Geno ral Scott to delay the onward mar grand army. But no sooner was the ¢ batile of Bull run fought than the Tf out in an editorial with the most He cat abuse of the adminisivation tor ils “ineMet of pre- paration aud a foolhardy and inexcusable under estimate of the encx ted the tune, “prevailed at Washington until they ha made shipwreck of our grand and hero} We have fought and been beaten. God fi our rulers that this is so.” Thus does the Zi ut the administration, and pray God to forgive if for listening to ils owa rabid clamors! 'T) however, would not go down with the people, who felt disposed to suspend the Tribune, if not Greeley himself, remember- ing, as they did, that day after day that journal hounded on the army to its destruction against the batteries of Manassas. Greeley, therefore, came out in the card which weveprint to-day) making the humiliating confession that, instead of being the editor of the Tribune, he had ab- dicated his functions, and consented to play the part of drummer boy to the establiskment— that the advice “Onward to Richmond,” whieh appeared in the editorial columns seven tines dune a week, “vos not his, nor anything of like im- pert.” According to Greeley’s own admi: therefore, the condnet of his journal was han ed over to the management of some secret rey o- Intionary committee of the Robespierre, Marat and Danion stamp. But he makes the best atone- ment in his power for this criminal folly by declaring that he retired from the arena of politics for the future; that neither war nor the moyemenis of the army wonld any louger form topics of diseussion in his journal—whence we concluded that Greeley, re g from the troubles of the world, which had grown too great for him, would go to work in some se7 cluded spot to organize a phalanx, and rey once more the socialistic and communist ideas of which he was so zealous an advocate a few years ago—a kind of refugium peccatoruin— where womens’ rightg could be njoyed, and ve loye © hata hast e—"X ing amal- freo loye Ce ae ee scop luding : £amation of the black and white races. Bat ws the surprise of everybody, a mouth has not 1 till Greeley’s repentauco—very much resembling in its sincerity that of the felon oa the seaffold, with the rope around his neck— turns out to be all sham, and he returns, like the swine that was washed, to his wallowing in the political mire. It is the nature of the ani- mal. ; Gresley is meddling in the affairs of the go- yernment as bad as ever, and embarrassing itS operations in every way. He is making the war as tinpopular as he can among the demo- cratic masses, who will do all the fighting, by representing ii as a war of abolition, and not a war to restore the Union and vindicate the principles of the Revolution and of the constitu. n. Heisagain guilty of “a foolhardy and inexcusable under estimate of the enemy,’ and is doing his uimost to induce the government to adopt bis views and again dash like a locomo- tive at full speed against a pile of rocks heaped on the track. In an article in Saturday’s num- ver, headed “Bull Run,” he criticises the battle onee more, though in his card of July 25 he said he would only write that time on the sub- war. “Tbar,’ quoth Greeley, “ail cri in se columns on a m my nts, 7 promises to the Me has thus cast all his the stern discipline of ~~" Just Once’—and bid adieu for ever to | je wind and broken every vow. The only way to stop his mischief is to suppress the publication of the Zribune, which hus done and is doing a thousand times more harm to the government and more good+to the enemy than the Daily News and all its tribe have ever dove or-could ever do. Jenkins at Long Branch. This has been an eventful week among the tuft-hunters at Long Branch, In the early part of it the great star of attraction there was forced from her retirement and reluctantly yielded herself to society and—Jenkins. She imagined, poor lady, in hey si splicity, that she eonld have enjoyed, undisturbed, a few days respile from her fatigues at Washington, She unfortunately left out of ber calculations the ubiquitous Jenkins, Jt is the penalty of high station that those called to it belong to everybody but them- selves, They must not eat, drink or sleep, ex- cept under the eye of the public, Neither Vie- toria, in her Highland retreat, nor Eugenie, at the Pyrennean Springs, is allowed for a momen: to delude herself into the notion that she can eseape her particular Jenkins. * Every move- ment and incident of the daily life of ti royal lidies is flashed over the wires with in- oxorable fidelity. They would give, no doubt, a great deal for a few weeks of the privacy enjoyed by the humblest of their subjects. It cannot be theirs, Like the inevitable skelelon at the Egyptian feasis, they are ever conscious of the presence of their Jenkins. It would be supposed that the wife of arepublican President would be exempt- ed from this penalty of greatness. Mrs Lincoln evidently went to Long ranch un- t that impression, Like a sensible, unpre. tending woman as she is, she kept to ber apart- ments for some days, thinking that, the first impulse of curiosity past, the crowd of fashion- able idlers assembled there would cease to oc- nadian frontier, except in spectal cases of sus- pected parties, We conceive this lo be agreat mistake. It is useless to prevent the departure of persons from our own ports as long as they can go through Canada to Halifax, and thence to Burope. The passport system should apply to every mode and road of egress from the country, or it shouid be abandoned altogether. We hope the Seeretary of State will think bet- ter of his decision in this ma} ter, Tun Revew’s Puan or Rawina THE Wiyp.— The Confederate government at Richmond are without money or eredit or stores of provisions, They can get no money at the South; the banks will not give them adime; they can get none at the Norib, and they can get none iu Europe. Their only hope is to get hold of the erops of the farmers and planters, in the shape of sub- scriptions in kind, for which they will issue them Confederate bonds, worth about as much as the paper on which they are drawn, 80 soon as the authority of the federal government ex- tends over cottendom.

Vain expectation! Jenkins had y led her, Yor a week previous to her arrival he had been filling the city journals with all the gossip he could gather regarding the preparations made for hey accommodation, the number of hey suite, the length of her intended stay, &e., &e. The result was a sensation such as Jenkins only knows how to getup. All the other watering places were emptied of the few visiters that the war had left them to swell the throng of expee- tani toadies and office seekers at Long Branch. They quitted the mean tables and beggarly ac- commnodations of Sharon, Saratoga and New- port, to starve at the meaner tallies of the New Jersey Letels, which, bad as they always are, were never more squalid than this season—and this merely to show their loyalty, How cruel must have been the disappointment felt when it Was announced that Mrs. Lincoln intended to heep to her own rooms, “What am I to do?” querulously writes Jenkins; “am I to penetrate into the sanctum of the lady, as the Times man did into that of the Prince of Wales, and give a minute of her comb, brush PS mieux, he devoted his per to a daily record of the sayings and i ef Prince Robert and his associates description Faute de the “umbane McConkey,” “the sportive Forbes? and the “dashing Halstead.” He has never been hap than in his description of the fishing party, at which young hopefnl “caught a crab Just such a crab as was caught by his venerated parent in Ue unexpected result of the battle of Buil ran.

All this, we say, is very strange; but a stronger evidence of the insincerity of these governments is de- veloped in the eorvespondence taken from the rebel ageats who have been recently arrested. Ta for example, the lotters discovered on Mr. Muir the other day, whieh reveal the fact that the English and French Consuls at Charles- ton have actually been negotiating a treaty of commerce with the rebel leaders. And if more of such correspondence fell into the hands of the government, there is no doubt that the complicity of foreigne officials with the Southern rebellion would be more fully es- tablished.

Without any reference to the blockade whatever, the go- vernment of the United States has the full and free right to close what ports it will, and to de- clare, authoritatively, through hat chfinnels it will communicate commercially with foreign nations. The war between England and China, and the later corfict of China with both France ant England, bave fully settled this question: ‘The uni of the governments of Queen Victoria and Louis Napoleon, were vainly em- ployed in the endeavor to cause the Chinese Emperor, to consent to throw open all of the ports of the Celestial Empire. They signally failed, and were compelled to acknowledge by treaty his vight to close up the greater number of harbors on the Asiatic coast. This principle of international law is now recognized by every iL power of Hurepe and America, and the tion to violate it, in the case of the ies is almost too preposterous to ; j / Awagenna Eneray or rae Governweyt.— The authorities at Washington have at length recognized the danger of permitting such propa- gators of treason as the Journal of Commerce and Daily News to be circulated through the North. ern States, and have ordered that they should be no longer conveyed through the mails. This is astep in the right direction, and it will doubt- less be followed by the closing of ihe offices of those and other pernicious newspapers al- together. The same fate will be shared, we pre- sume, by the Albany Argus and Atlas, and Con- fidence Cassidy will find his neck in the noose at last. Itis also a question whether the abolf- tion secession prints should not also be suppress ed. The Anti-Slavery Standard, Jiberator and Tridune do as much mischief in their way as the Journal of Commerce and News, and tend equal- ly to foment discontent and disorder. The lat- ter of these journals may perhaps be saved by another quaking, penitential card from Massa Greeley, in which with knees bent, he begs the pardon of the public, and promises notto do 8o any more. If the energy of the administration rises to a level with the exigencies of the ocoasion, mar- tial law will be proclaimed, and everything will go right. Otherwise we arc in’ danger of mob law, which would be a terrible- calamity. Exrecizy Trove iw Barrmore.—So long. as General Banks remained in Baltimore, every- thing was peaceful and affairs moved on smoothly. Since the amiable old Dix—beiter fitted for the details of our city Post Office than to wear a uniform—has been in Maryland, dis- content has raised its head again, and every day symptoms are manifested of latent mischief. Now soon it may break forth no one can tell. He is totally unfit for the place he holds and ought to be replaced by a younger man. We wndersiand that the Bank Committee have gone oa to Washington, and intend suggésting the preposterous idea to the President of miking Dix Seeretary of State or of War. Why, ever the witless Welles would do better than a halt 2 dozen fogies like Dix. His amiable remains ought to be respectfully deposited on a quiet | oid shelf, The intelligence from Baltimore is alarming, and the gly remedy wiil be his im- 5 > mediate removal. ® Arvairs av THE Custom Hovss.—Reports are current that Collector Barney eniertains the idea of puiting the notorious abolitionist Helper—a mar who has done more than any other individual to bring about the calamities from which the couniry is suffering—into .® prominent position in the Custom House. We sincerely hope that he will have more patriotism and good sense. We aiso learn that a relative of ex-Senator Dickinson has been removed, at the very moment when that statesman has shown his devotion to } the county in the most marked-emphatie \ manner; while, on the other hand, Confidence | Cassidy's nearest connections remain in place, i >i while the Aflas and Argus is daily distilling lav onable poison, This is no time cither te rd abolitionists, reject faithful servants of the public, or foster sympathizers with seces- sion. Tus Resicnation or NavaL Orricens.—The retura of almost every war vessel from foreign stations is followed by the resignation ef some of the officers who happen to be of Southern birth. This fact, pertiaps, is not surprising; but it does appear singular that the govern- ment, after dismissing from the service, should permit the officers to return to their homes in the South and enter the rebel service. Instead of being permitted to do so they should be held under arrest as suspected traitors. From the frigate Congress, just returned from the Brazil station, two or three officers haye resigned: Are they to be permitted to join the rebels in their privateer serviee, or to follow the exam- ple of Captain Hollins, of the Susquehanna, who, immediately after his resignation, turned up in company with the Southern rebel Zouave im lady’s attire, engaged in seizing the steamer St. Nicholas? We trust not, Tus Reve Panics.—It is a remarkable fact that the rebel army in the vicinity of Washing- ton has experienced two or three very decided penics since General McClellan took command of the Union army. A few days ago—and it happened, curiously enough, it was the day ot General McCiellan’s grand review—the rebel army experienced a terrible panic, falling back from Fairfax Court House, leaving even their sick and wounded behind them. On Friday they had another panic, and so fearful do they appear of an attack by the Union army that the other day two hodies of their pickets met and fired into each other, upon which both parties retreated and reported the advance of the ‘enemy. They even fired into an imaginary foe with artillery. It is evident that the presence of General McClellan is striking terror inte them already. INTERESTING FROM MISSOURI. CALL OF GOVERNOR GAMBLE FOR FORTY THOUSAND UNION TROOPS. , Row, Mo., August 24, $361. Lientonant Colonel Albert, of the Third Missouri regi- ment, and eight or ten other officers, who have beem prisoners in the hands of the rebels at Springfield, ar- rived here this morning. They were released on parol, subject to such arrangemonts as may have been entered into between the rebels aud the United States. A groat many contradictory reports as to the present and futare movernents of the rebels are in circulation, but the real purpore of the enemy can only be conjectured, They seem now to be more apxtous to obtain subsistence sham to make offensive movements for {bat purpose. ~~ Sprixermp, Mo., August 17, 1861. _ The correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat, furnishes th following:—Goneral Raiver issued an order soon atte” his arrival, to seize all the modicine and hospital stores in ura federal hospital hore, thus depriving about 400 of our wounde’ troops of medical treatment.
