A disposition ig manifested to overlvok al) other considerations, exce) t ability aud enorgy.

The privilege asenmee by oMicors of abandoning their commands at will, ant taking vthem-elves a furlough, whether with or witlout leave, is a crying evil, It is the intention of General Pope to enforce strict ‘ine in this respect in his army, The case of Capt.

No sooner did the bill become law than the names of all the objectiouable parities were re commended to the President by Seeroiary Woiles for re- nomination, and the latter, probably not knowing any thing in detail sbout the partics, sent them immediately to the Seuate for confirmation. The Naval Committee reported upanimonsly againge two of them—Measre. Isherwood and Lenthall—and the Senate, after a full discussion of the merits of the parties, rejected these two, Que or two others came near being rejectod. in the debate in executive session some very severe remarks were made upon the haste of the Secreiary of the Navy in recommeiding nominations under the pew bill, before the representatives of the people had an opportunity to present to the appointing power the reasons why some of the ebiefs of tho bureans should not be reappoimted. ‘Those reaswue were briefly prevented to the Committoe on Naval Affairs, and to tho seuate, and upon them the two named were rejected. Against. one of them very grave charges were made by a member o ho House of Representatives.

THE APPOINSMPRTS UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENCe BILL. After having thus far coutrolled al! the patronsce under the present administration, members of Congress now assume the dispensation ef the appointments under the Internal Revenue bili in their several districts. ‘The best endorsoments that can be brought here by candi dates for these appointments are of no avail if they do not include the fiat also of the member for the district, or aSenator from the State fromwhich the eandilate Leils.

The national debt has increased from less than $91,000,000 on the Ist of July, 1861, to about $680 000,000 at the present date. “The various plans adopted and schemes devised to aid the governinent in its day of need will prove hereafter interesting to all political economists and students of the history of the great rebellion. It is our object to collect in brief spaceand concise form some of the leading fea- tures of the schemes devised siuce the insurrection be- cume formidable. ‘The admint-tration which came into power on the 4th of March , 1861, found the finances of the nation ima de- ploruble condition, A traitorous @ecretary of the Trea- bury bad held the reina of power over the expenditures of the government to so lute a date that the patriotic ef- forts of General Dix failed to reassure the peopie. Seve- ral members of President Buchavan’s administration had pureued a course which was calculated to utterly alienate the people of the loyal section from bis adminiatration, and to destroy their confidence in the efforts made to suppress the rebellion. Accordingly, when it was ford necessary to cail for a vmal! loan, pear (he end of Mr. Bu- chanan’s term of office, it was only obtained at very heavy rates of interest, the people who bid being unwilling to part with their money to the government without a guarantee that they should receive eleven and twelve per cent interest thereon.

One of the hast acts which Mr. Buchanan wer called on to sign was the Morritl tariff, which he approved March 2,1861. At the time of its passage by‘Congress the re- beliion had not become a fixed and settled fuct, neither had the people any conception of the vast expenditnres to which the government wes to be subjected during the coming yeur, ‘The old question—whether or not it be expedient to levy beavy duties on foreign products and manufactures, to afford encouragement to dealers, or protection to home manufac’ discussed in Congress and out.
