It strikes us that, “if the hospitalities of the city are to be given to _ people in this free and easy sort of way, Robert “Small, who brought the rebel steamer Planter from Charleston, is fairly entitled to them. ‘Would it not be appropriate, also, to offer them to Madame Geffrard, the wife of the President -of Hayti, who is now on a visit here with her «daughter and son-in-law?

Wasuincron, June 3, 1862. EXTENSION OF RAILROAD FACILITIES BETWEEN WASHINGTON AND THE NORTHWEST. ‘Tho House Committee on Railroads, &c., have instruct- ed their chairnian (Mr. Mallory, of Kentucky) toreport a bill to further the construetion of tho Pittsburg and Connellsville Railroad to the Baltimore and Ohio road at Cumberland. This is in accordance with the memorial of the members of the Legislature of Ohio, which sets forth the need of closer, speedior and more direct com- munication between the Northwest and Washington. By this road, in connection with the Baltimore and Uhio, seventy miles would be saved in transit from the great Northwest to the seat of government. It is represented in the memorial that the amounts that would be saved in freights and fares by this line would soon more than repay any temporary outlay of the government expenses of transportation on military account. Accordingly, the committee report in favor of endorsing bonds of the Connelisville road to the amount of two millions, under proper securities, pro- vided that troops, munitions of war and stores ehall be carried over sald road at half the usual rates. It is un- derstood that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company are willing to co-operate in the construction of a branch hence to the Point of Rocks. THE PACIFIC RAILROAD ROUTE.

RELIANCE ©¥ THE REBELS ON. FOREIGN: INTBRVEN- ‘TION. The government regards as a palpable: fact ttiat the movers in the present rebelliom never entertained the expoctation of achieving a revolution. What they desired was to open a point for foreign intervention, on: which they relied to overthrow the Union. They began their intrigues, even before they ventured upon the robelion, and ever since have applied themsclves-to’ this work of intervention, The pretence of revolution was, there- fore, a frand, and is now exposed. to the. world,. It isnot doubted that these views are now, or soon willbe, known to European governments through the Secretary of State. DEATH OF LIEUTENANT DE WOLF.

THE TAX BILL AND THE NEGROES, ‘The vote of yesterday on the amendment of Mr. Saulsbury to the Tax bill, that no part of the public money arising from the excise or from customs shall be ured for the support and maintenance of fugitive alayes or free negroes, has put the republicans on the record in @ most unfortunate man- ner, They voted down the proposed amendment on acall of the yoas and nays, and it is an issue in the ENLARGEMENT OF CANALS POR MILITARY PURPOSES. ‘A highly interesting report was made tothe Houso this afternoon by Representative Blair, of Missouri, from the Committee on Military Affairs, with an amondment reported as a supplementary section to the pending bill for enlarging the Illinois canal and improving the Illinois river. The section provides for enlarging tho locks of the Erte and the Oswego canals to a size adequate to pass. gunboats, at a cost not exceeding three millions. The report presses theso works strongly as a military necessity, rendered manifest by the mo naces last winter of the British press in respect to the cities and commerce of the lakes. Oar two great channels of naval access, one from the Hudson and the other from the Mississippi, are strikingly treated by the report as integral and inseparable portions of a harmonious system of national defence.
