The rebellion against the government had not yet been suppress- ed, though the Dictator and his advisers were using the utmost diligence to end the war. An- other attempt was made to get up @ revolution in Maracaibo on the 16th u!t.; but fortunately the plot was discovered in time, and the promoters seized by the military force of the go- vernment. The plan, as confessed by the criminals, was to overpower the troops, cut the throats of the authorities, officers, &c., and make a general sack of the treasury, stores, &ec. Four sergeants of the ringleaders were tried by court martial and shot on the 10th ult. Many others concerned have been imprisoned. The papers contain lengthy accounts of the death of Doctor Pedro Gual, who died at Guayaquil on the 6th of May last. Senor Gual was Vice President of the Venezuelan republic, and after Senor Ma- nuel Felipe Tovar had been compelled to resign the Presidency he filled the chief position for some time. His death is greatly lamented. A sensation story is going the rounds of the de- mocratic press, copied from a Chicago paper, to the eflect that the conscription act of the bogus confederacy, which takes males into the army between the ages of seventeen and thirty-three, will raise the Confederate force to one million four hundred thousand. Estimates based on the census of 1860 will show the absurdity of this statement. There are less than fourand a half millions of white inhabitants in those sections of the South which are now under the rule of the rebel leaders; but we will give them the benefit of those figures, for the sake of the round numbers.

They declare that the President bas no policy, They insist that the President must have a pglior, They exclaim that a policy is tho one thing needful.

What the agitators desire, therefore, is not that the President should have a policy, but that he should adopt their policy. This, it will be perceived, is quite another thing. A long time ago, in his diplomatic corres- pondence, now published and on record, Secre- tary Seward marked out the policy of our government, both towards the rebels and towards all foreign Powers. This po- licy was determined upon when Pre- sident Lincoln organized his Cabinet, and appointed Mr. Seward, the professed and hated opponent of the abolition radicals, as his Secretary of State, or Prime Minister. Mr. Seward, a3 was his duty, informed the Euro- pean governments of this policy in his diplo- matic correspondence. President Lincoln has repeatedly expressed this policy in his messages and speeches. The government has never de- viated from this policy fora moment. What- ever certain military commanders, or the aboli- tion leaders, or the abolition Congress, or Cabi- net officers like Mr.Chase, may have been led to do, the intact.

Secre- tary Stanton, led on by the will-o’-the-wisp of an dared to tranagress this policy in conducting the war, and the President has razeed him into a mere chief clerk, and has appointed the con™ servative General Halleck as General-in-Chief. Shall we inform the abolitionists what is the policy thus announced and defended? It is simply the suppression of this rebellion by force, with a management of the war which shal! far as is compatible with success, and which shall render a reunion of the two sections pos- sible by avoiding all measures destructive of the good old constitution. Now, it is this very policy which the infernal republicans and fanatical abolitionists oppose and President in his confiscation order, a few days ago, they declared that it came upon them “like a wet blanket.” They have been en- deavoring all atong to force the government te relinquish this policy and adopt the fire and brimstone, free negro.and destruction, amalge- mation and disunton policy to which, as Wen- dell Phillips declares, they have been committed for the last sixteen years. In spite of repeated disappointments, they have persevered in trying to turn the goverument from its settled pur- pose. They imagined that the President could be bullied, humbugged or coaxed into beeoming a convert to their ideas. They have caught up every word which fell from the President’s lips, and letters from those claiming to be in the Presi- dent’s confidence. laboring to miscon- strue and misrepresent his utterances into grounds of hope for themselves. Sach men as Wade and Chandler have tried to bully and blackguard the President into abolitionisin, forgetful that when Old Abe puts his foot down no menaces can move him. Such men as Governor Andrew, of Massachusetts, and Gov- ernor Yates, of Illinois, have tried to hambug the him President knew that Massachusetts was misrep- rese! nois had just declared unanimously against any intercourse with negroes. Such men as Sum- ner President into abolitionism, forgetful that the President was too old a politieal bird to be caught with chaff, and that he fully recolleeted their abuse and scandal of himself and his family. No wonder, then, that, overwhelmed by disappointment and mortification, these fel- lows still try to shut their eyes to the truth and whine out “Wanted—a policy.” These ' crazy abolitionists are discovered, found out, exposed, detected. The whole country is laughing at and triumphing over the: is to clearly sees that the Prosident cannot be moved from his constitutional policy. The dark days of doubt are passed, and the nation is reviving with renewed confidence. The abolitionists have caused much trou- ble and confusion; but they have met They have played « bold stake for disunion, and have lost.

NEWELL, P.M. of this newspaper impostor’s “receipts in. full,” from which it appears he carries these receipts in printed form, with blanks left open for the name of the paper, date, amount of subeerip- tion and signature. Here is a copy of the specimen before us:— impostor, in the characters of newspaper agent and soldier, is selling off the Hera.p “very cheap for cesh¥’ and “without regard to cost.” For our weekly, which is three dollars, in ad- vance, he gives a whole year’s subscription for one dollar, cash down.

So strong fs she that the ram Sumter ran into her with as Jittle injury as if rock had been struek, Her great kreadth of beam enab!es her to carry anenormous weight of iron plating. In an- other point of view she is an improvement on the Merrimac. She has a steam hose apparatus, by which she repels boarders—a novelty first introduced in the present war. She has besides numerous loopholes for musketry and pistols. That she did not inflict greater damage is owing to want of skill or lack of courage in ber com” mander. It appears that a similar vessel is now being finished at Richmond, and is expected to make a descent very soon; and other iron-clad ships-of-war are in preparation in Southern posts and rivers not yet in the possession of the federal government. This is what the South has dons with its limited means and without mechanics. What is it compared with what the North can do with its iron and steam power, its boundless resourees, its numerous artisans and manufac- tories of machinery? We have vesse!s now on the stocks, and some in process of completion, which will make short work of all the rebel eraft in the James river, the Mississippi, the Yazoo or elsewhere. We have vessels which will ascend to Richmond, and take it in despite of all the forts and batteries on its banks and all the rams and iron-clad steamers on its wa- ters. That they will do so before long ther can be very little doubt. We are only begin- ning to develop our strength. In the preseut age we have given the first lesson to Europe in naval warfare by the battle of Hampton Roads. We taught them there the practical value of iron-clad vessels-of-war. We have given them a second lesson at Vicksburg; and.it will not be long till we astonish the world with another lesson, and show the maritime nations of Eu- rope that the American republic is as uncon- with impunity.

Hasty Learsiation.—One of the last things burried through Congress was an act striking out the State of Connecticut from fhis judicial circuit. The law previously authorized the Circuit Judge (Nelson) to call on the District Judge of that State to hold sessions of the Cir- ouit Court in this eity. Judge Shipman has ac- cordingly officiated much of the time here, to the great satisfaction of the government, the bar and the public. In the midst of the trial of an important pension forgery case, a few days since, hit Honor read from the doings of Con- gress, published in a newspaper, the announce- ment that he was no longer legally upon the bench here, a bill effecting this change having not only been paseed, but signed by the Presi- dent, to take effect immediately. Of course all the witnesses, summoned at groat expense to the government and the defendant, had to be discharged. And this is not all. A tedious trial for murder on the high seas had just boon brought to a clos@ in the same court, the jury returning o verdict of guilty. It was found that the afvresaid act had been signed by the President while the case was in progress. The whole proceedings are of course null and void. As the business of the United States courts in this city is quite heavy, there is some curiosity to know what were the motives which led to this movement, which has seemed to take every We have heard it suggested one in our midst who would nN appointment upon the United rch; but bow could th be gra fined without Brat crealing au qpanag! one by surpr that we hay Tus Recent Canwer Crists.—Certain of our i contemporaries who, as usual, did not have the news, are disposed to question the truth of our statement that Mir. Seward seriously proposed to resign from the Cabinet in the event of an inauguragion by the President of the “ base, blecfy and brutal” policy suggested by the | radigals prevlous to the 22% i SI Fo ay . gress. NO O16 knows beiist than Greeley or the truth of our statement, and yet he has the impudence to call upon TLurlow Weed to deny it. The facts are briefly these:—The administra- tion has had a deflnite policy in the conduct of the war since it commenced. It was to S0 use our armies and shape our policy as to render a reunion of the States possible; and to this end the domestic institutions of the South were to be disturbed as little as possible, and the rebels were to be defeated—as they only can bede- feated—by good generals, plenty of men and an abundance of cannon. So far the campaign against the South has been a magnificent success. We have possessed the whole coast, the border States and the whole valley of the Mississippi; and all that remains is to conquer the armies congregated at. Richmond, and the rebellion is at an end. Owing, however, to the machinations of the abolition agitators, General McCleHan has met with a partial reverse before Richmond, and this has been seized upon by the “infernaY” radicals as a means to coerce the ad- ministration into a savage method of conducting the war, which is certain to divide the eountry irredeemab)¥ and forever, if carried out, Upon the passage ef the Confiscation and Militia acts, Mr. Lincola and the Cabinet were put into a serious dilemma. General Halleck— upon whom it had been determined to bestow the position cf Commander-in-Chief of the armies of the United States—and nearly all the leading generals in the Union service, to- gether with an influential section of the Cai- net, were entirely opposed to the policy of the “infernal” repubHeans; and to inaugurate a savage warfare, in accordance with the: wishes of the radical majority in Congress, would have caused serious discontent in the army. Mr. Seward, Mr. Bates, Mr. Smith and Mr. Welles, in the Cabinet, strenuously op- posed the new policy, and insisted upon con- forming with the original programme of the ad- ministration. Hence the recent war order in- terpreting the confiscation policy in: accordance with the previous views of the President. Mr, Seward would not have remained in the Cabinet had the extreme radical policy been decided upon. Neither would Mr. Bates nor Mr. Smith have remained. To avoid the crisis and the collecting together of men new to the adminis- tration of affairs, the President wisely determin- ed—for the present, at least—to depend upon his armies, rather than upon. the niggers, to maintain the Union intact. The despatch respecting the crisis in the Cabi- net was sent us before the war order was issued modifying the Confiscation act, and before it was officially announced that General Halleck was Commander-in-Chief of the army. This order, however, and the appointment of the new Commanier-in-Chief, confirmed the views con- tained in the despatch, and we eecordingly pub. lished it. Of course, now that the matter is set- tled; an effort will be made in official quarters to persuade the people that no resignations were thought of in the present Cabinet. Sewvarp In THE SeNnaTE.—Now that Secretary Seward has fully settled our foreign and domes- tic policy of the war, and his State papers now form the law of action of the government in our present troubles, he is needed inthe United States Senate. There is no man of real ability in that branch of Congress. The Sumners, Wades, Chandlers and Wilsons have proven themselves mere politicians, and unable to comprehend our present condition of af- fairs. Some such man as Seward is needed there now as leader in our present erisis, to mark out for the Senate a. course to pursue, and to answer, as ho alone oan, the “infernals” of that body. What nobler work could this State do—occupying, as it does, a foremost rank in the States of the Union in wealth, commerce and initelligence—thgn to send Mr. Seward there as its representative? Tn this view we hail the new movement in this State—Dix for Governor and Seward for Senator—as one of the best signs of the times. Should such a movement be carried. out, Mr. Seward will no doubt remain in the Cabinet until next winter, and then retire to take his seat in the Senate, and take part in the delibe- rations of that body.

The fttendance was much larger than on any of the preced. ing days, and included a largo number of tho leading families of the city. The first race was for a purse of Pinile heats, and was won by Dhrogg’s Neck, beat. ing Cyclone in 1:50 aud 1:50%4. latter won the first hewt in 1:51). The great event of the meeting was the three mio heats race for # purse of $1,000; Fer this Idlewild, Wagram and Avalanche were entered. The former wasrthe favorite, seliang im $100 pols for $59: Wagram for $26, and Avalanche for $17. Idewild won in two straight heate in 5:42 and 648. The first heat would have been won by W: » whose bridle broke in the first ule, and although the jowkey in eonse- quence lost his control over him, he maintained a lead of several lengths throughout two miles and a half, and was only beaten on the last half mile, But for this accident he must assuredly have won the heat, and probably the race, The uext beat was won, by idlewila, by three lengths, Avalanche being second and,Wagram third, Another day’s racing takes place gn Tuesday next, for the benefit of Mr. Cazgady, whom a four mile beat ‘will come off.

Many.of them at night come out on the Piankatank river and sleep in their boats, fearing the roving bauds which infest:the neighborhood. Once or twice recently a company of Union cavalry has scoured the country im search of the marauders, but without sueceas; and im- imediately on their depar:ure th» rebels again make their appearance. Alot of muske.s, with which the deserters wore armed, were brought up on the Freeborn, alhop which are flintlocks, and s:me bear the st:mpon the locks, ‘Virginia manufactory, Richmond, 1816.” ANECDOTE OF THR PRESIDENT.
