This evening Manager Grau inaugurates his new season at the Academy of Music. The attractions of the occasion are the revival of “Il Poliuto” and the rentrees of Miss Kellogg, the favorite Brignoli and the accept- ’ able Amodio. While ail parties grumble at the President’s proclamation—some because it ya too much, and others because it says too ie itle—Manager Grau’s proclamation, which ‘ays just enough, seems to satisfy everybody: ‘Already the “masses of opera-goers are rally- ing unanimously to his support. The best of it is that Grau begins his campaign with the \prestige of victory and the most brilliant pros- spects of success. He has followed the Heratn’s i advice, and has prospered. Other people have snot followed the Heraty’s advice, and have not prospered. Let all such unfortunates—nationel, ‘social, military or political—look at Grau, ‘adopt his policy and ensure for themselves ‘imilar triumphs. ! A short time ago we had occasion to remark that if President Lincoln and Manager Grau ‘would assume General Jackson’s style of deal. ‘Ing with all who revolted against their au- thority the consequences would be most agreeable to all concerned. Grau took this hint, , President Lincoln did not. The ‘result is that we find the President still ‘Yielding to the preposterous demands of a fow Ansane negro worshippers, and still straggling ‘vainly to subdue the Southern rebels; while ‘Grau has brought the Brooklyn radicals to his ‘own terms and has all the provinces in sub- jection, During the last season the Brooklyn irectors overcharged Grau two hundred dollars, ‘and Grau sent thema proclamation requiring that this eum be returned under the penalty of no more Opera. The directors argued, ex- fplained and ‘discussed the matter; but Grau as inflexible, rocky, Jacksonian. Finally the irectors, discovering that Grau would not suo” umb to them, concluded to succumb to him, and fon Tuesday last resolved to refund his two ‘bundred dollars and accept one hundred dol- ‘lars a night as the rental of the Academy for pera hereafter. Now, suppose that Grau had ven way; as President Lincoln did, the di- would have raised their terms accord- ly, just as the negro worshippers have done {with the President, and the end of the matter the one case, as in the other, would ve been the ruin of Grau and his tration. There is nothing like little firmness to begin witb, either in nations; r operatic affairs, and we leave the wise men Washington to make a practical application this subject for themselyes. But, besides subduing that miniature-New land called Broolyn, Grau has also put all provinces under his feet. The directors of Philadelphia Academy have reduced their tal to one hundred dollars # night for Grau, yand are anxious to have him come back te them. (The Boston directors are continually sending Jetters and telegrams Inquiring when Grau wil! @ive them Opera. From Cincinnati, St. Louis pod Chicago offers have been received to gua- ‘antee Grau’s expenses if he will make Opera for . Everywhere the Opera, like the Union, $s looked upon us a blessing, apd therefore wagerly desired. The President might long ago have received similar propositions from the olted States if he had adopted our aug tions and adhered to the policy which we arked out for him. As it is, harmony, recon: liation and reunion appear more difficult $o-dsy than they did a year ago, while the ances and the army of the North have been ost terribly mismanaged. It is précisely in administrative ability that Grau excels: is treasury is fall to overflowing; his boun- jes—the Italian quindicina, or advance pay— ere settled in cash ; the members of his troupe \polike the President's troops, are promptly and unctually paid off at the expiration f each month; all new dresses, scenery fend properties are paid for upon de. livery, and there is no such thing known any of his departments as fivo per cent ommissions on contracts, or two and a half _ cont brokerage upon articles purchased. Ip 6 finances of the government were managed ith equal pradence and economy Secretary hase would be a much greater nian than he , and we should -not have to fear another luge of paper money to further depreciate the currency of the country and increase the tices of every article we eat, drink, wear or Let the Secretary of the Treasury go to Prsnaser Gra, connie bis ways and be wise. With such an able administration of his af- irs Grau need not trouble himself about the uugbear of foreign intervention, Maretzek has haouah to do at Havana,as France hes in (Mexico, and will not interfere with Grau as Yong as tho latter is strong enough to resist. Iman, like England, has his commercial mat- rs to attend to—Ristori and Titiens for impor- ation, and Kellogg, Carlotta Patti, Morensi, d perhaps Brignoli, forexportation. Werce reason, therefore, why Grau may not go on glory, manage all the opera houses in the untry and build a new Academy here if he es. Let President Lincoln imitate Grau’s ‘ample: defy and conquer the negro wor- ippers, totally eschew the .biack man-— wen Graw’s gout is white--and insist on a business-like management of the ry, the army and the navy, and we ouiise him the same success in restoring the inion that Grau has achieved in restoring the pers. ae i The Premier of Italy and Napotcon. The downfall of the Ratazzi Cabinet was a re sign that the people of Italy were de- rmined to submit no longer to Napoleon's ‘oke.

They began through it representatives in Parliament, and put Ratazai, A new Premier was chosen i, ® lover of his country and an adhere the Ricasoll policy. We amerted, | and Pollax, and about Uhirty degeess vertioally a ' fully corroborates our opinion. The Italian government has respectfully but firmly refused further negotiations with France respecting the Roman question at present. This means that Italy will take into her own hands the settlement of that affair. M. de Sartiges, the French Minister at Turin, broached the subject of Rome to the President of the Italian Council. The latter replied that the present policy of France rendered it quite improbable that any further nego- tiations should succeed. In Paris the Che- valier Nigra, Italian Ambassador at the Court of France, has made a like statement to the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, M. Drouyn de Lhuys. All this forebodes no’ good to the rulé‘of Napoleon. It is plain the Italians have at last come to the determination to act for them” selves in furtherance of their grand scheme for unity and power. Will France give way, or will she continue to stand athwart Italy’s path? The question is fraught with interest to all the world, We are inclined to doubt the ability of Napo_ Jeon to check this onward movement of the Italians, even were he ever so much inclined to do so. Still, he may attempt this, pushed on as he is by the over zeal of the Empress in favor of the Pope. But the result of such a policy would be disastrous to him—would make Italy his deadly enemy—and he cannot afford to add to the number of his foes. He has upon bis hands a starving population and an unsuccess- Tul war. He knows that the people must and will have relief; a sense of danger will prevent bis remaining in a hostile attitude towards Italy, the more so as he is well aware that England is doing all in her power to gain over to herself the friendship of that people, whom he will soon be called upon to molest no longer or to be at open war with. These are weighty considerations, and are likely to prevail against the Emperor’s natural desire to carry out a long cherished policy, as well as his disposition to follow the suggestions of his spouse, who is be- coming so determined a defender of the Pope. ‘The probabilities are that Napoleon will give way to the necessities of his position, and that Italy will soon find herself untagmmelled by his false friendship, his hateful alliances. She will then at once assume her stand among the great and powerful nations of the world. In this coun” try Italy has full and unbounded sympathy in her onward career. Weshall hail with pleasure her deliverance from the interference of the Em- peror of France. Tue Emancipation Procnamatioy IN OUR Puxrrrs.—The abolition preachers of New York and Brooklyn owe a great debt of gratitude to Mr. President Lincoln. His emancipation pro- clamation furnished them yesterday with a gteat topic for exultation. Of course their con- were crowded, and the question of negro liberty was extensively ventilated, Brothers Beecher and Cheever, of course, took leading parts, and brought down the house fre- quently. It is high time that these reverend gentlemen should begin to imitate the old Christian bishops, and, after all their talking, proceed to do a little fighting. NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. Wasurnaton, Jan. ¢, 1863. THR POSITION OF GENERAL BUTLER. Gen. Butler appears here in citizeus’ dress, and {t ia un- derstood that he will play no subordinate part in future events, Hence the Tribune idea, that he will go into the business of organizing vegro forces, is probably wide of the mark. The mombers of his staff, most of whom are known to be gentlemen here, speak in thé most exalted torms of Gen. Butlor’s great ability, as manifested in the administration of affairs at New Orieans. THE PRESIDENT’S EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION. The President’s better nature inclined him to make portions of North Carolina an exception 0 the effects of the emancipation proclamation. Thi* the radicals stoutly resisted, because if slavery should have legal existence, both north and south of Virginia, it would be hard in the future to keep up freedom of the blacks in that State; but if slavery is only to exist in a small fringe of territory, like the border slave States, i must soon become valucless by reason of escapades, either North or South. : THE ONLY CONDITION OF TREATING WITH THE REBELS. Ferney’s paper this morning says that the only con- ition for treating with the rebels is, that emaucipation shail be the leading feature of any agreement. It says that the legond of the war is emancipation, and thousands of lives have been sacrificed to the idea, RETURN OF MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. ‘The members of Congress have very generally returned from their Christmas recess, and there is every indica Yon that (he business of legislation will now be pushed steadily forward until the end of the session. Nearly ai _ the important measures to be presented have been al) ready matured, and the principal ®usiness of the session will probably be concluded within the month of January. It i understood that the sub-committeo of Ways and Means are ready to report upon the financial Measures, and the billie from that committee are expected to be brought in during the ceming week. CONNECTING THE WATRRS OF THE MISSISSIPPI AND ATLANTIC. The project of connecting the waters of the Mississipp! with those of the Atlantic by means of a ship canal, which bas been approved by both the Naval and Military commiitees of the House, and the Military Committee of the Senate, will be brought ferward immediately. It ig strongly urged, not only as a measure of military neces! ty, but one of great public importance on account of the saving to the producer in the cost of transportation to market. It is estimated by those who have carefully studied the statistics ef production and transportation that the saving upon asingle crop will be more than gufficient to pay the whole expense of the improvement, including the enlargement of the New York canals. 8008.07 LEDAL TENDER NOTBS YOR THE PAYMENT OF ARRRBARAGES TO SOLDIERS. Secretary Chase will to-morrow ask the Committee of ‘Ways and Means to introduce a bill to authorize him to ingsue immediately fifty millions additional legal tender notos, for the purpose of paying off the arrearages due to the soldiers, This sum is intended to be iadependeut of any other action in reference to the finance of the com mittee and Congress. EXPIRATION OF THE SERVICH OF THE TWO YEARS’ MEN. Some of the best generals In the army have expressed much solicitude in regard regiments whose two years’ term of service April or May. The first thirty-cight regiments the State of New York will go ent of service tn May, and among these aro some ‘of the best regiments in the army. It is deemed impor. tant by our best military authorities in the field that tho best matoris! in the rank and file, and the officers of euch fegimonts should be induced to remain. Some act of Congress will be necessary to restore to the army its best officers and men after (he period of service of the two years’ men has expired. Some of our veteran generals are pushing this matter upon the attention of Congress, aud some definite plan will be sibuitted at an early day- A Large Mete: TO THE EDITOR OF THE UERALD, Baoapwat, Orposire St. Pave's Caoacn, New Youn, Jan. 2, 1963.

Admiral Lee's Despatch to Socre- tary Welles, a, &e., ry Wasarrotor, Jan. 4, 1863. ‘The following has been ggceived at the Navy Depart- meat:— Hamrrom Roane, Jan. 3-9 P.M. To Hon. Gipson Watims, Secretary of the Navy:— The Monitor, in tow of the Rhode Island, passed Hat- teres Shoals on Tucsday afternoon. The weather was fine and promising. About nine o’clock P, M. equally woather commenced, and about ton it blew hard. At half-past one A. M. on Wednesday, the 8ist, the Monitor baving sprung aleak, went down, Commander Bankhead and the officers and crew of the Monitor bohaved nobly, and made every effort to save the vessel. Commander Trencbard, the officers and crew of tho Rhode Isiand did everything in their powor to rescue th® officers and crew of tho Monitor. The Rhode Island has just arrived. She passed the Montauk at half-past throo o'clock this morning, Ofteen to twenty miles to the northwest of Hatteras, doing well. Weather fine. 8S. P. LEE, Acting Rear Admiral. ‘Tho first month of the now year, 1862, saw the ad- vent of the tron-clad steam battery Monitor, aud in the samo month, a year later, wo are called upon to chronicle her destruction. Like the Merrimac, Arkansas and Cairo, she made herself famous in a terrific battle, and was not destined to be destroyed by an enomy's guns. The Moni- tor was butit under very poculiar circumstances. Wash ington waa blockaded, @ rebel flect threatened it, aud a rebel irdn-clad was aimost ready to rain our wooden men of-war toward the close of 1461. In November, espe- cially, things looked darkest. Something must be done— an ironclad built. The Monitor was conceived, and laid upon the stocks. There was only one indispensable attri- bate that must belong to her—she must be strong and formidable enough to mect our iron-clad enemy. The Potomac wi quiet river, and a raft could move on it better than a frigate. ‘A raft, with a new fashioned vessel upon it,’ as a naval writer describes her, was built, and the result of her first encounter with Commo- dore Tatnall’s famous vessel showed her builders knew what they were about. But there were some very important matters ocunected with her construction which are not by any means s0 well understood. In tho first place, she was not exactly Hike the nise vessels that have been built upon the same general theory, as many porsons suppose, from the fact of theee latter ships having been #0 frequently described as in every particular the copy of each other, uniess some accident occurs which has no more to do with the princi- ple of their construction than the foundering of the Persia with the plan of her model. What this accident bas beon remains to be learned. Not being needed for any such pressing business as their “progenitor,” there was no Recensity for making sea-going requirements secondary to mere fighting eMctency. The great point of thetr simi- parity, besides belligerent attributes, is this: that, not- withstanding the disaster to the Monitor, both the old and the new vessels are perfect lifebuate at sea, which cannot possibly founder, The chief points of difference between the Menitor and her successors are:—First, be Monitor had a dead flat bottorh, with sides sloping at an angle of eighty degrees to the vertical line. The new Monitors have an ordinary midship section and an ordinary rise of flow, and around bilge. They possess what ship builders term ‘‘a very easy midship body.” Second—The turrots in the new Monitors are support ed on four bulkheads, two tranaverse and two longitudi” nal ones, very heavily braced with what are called “‘angl® bars.”” The turret, therefore, of the new Mopitors is much more firmly supported than in the original, where it is kept up by only a single bulkhead, running across the vessel. Third—The overhang at the stern of the old Monitor was also much greater than in the new veasols, Tho Iat- ter, therefore, are subject to far less strain in a sea way than their famous Fourth—The distinguishing point of difference between the two classes of vessels, however, Is the impregnabie ohimney of the new ones, which can neither be affected by a #ea or shot, which the original one did not have. #Y/th—The fresn air for supplying the boilers and for ventilating purposes is taken in through the top of the turret in the new shine, toatead of being drawn through air trunks, as in the direlict Monitor, which are extreme. ly Itable to be carried away in a seaway. ‘These changes wero introduced by Captain Ericsson in consequence of the difficulty experienced during the first trip of the Monitor, and but for these difoulties the im- Provements would not have been made. COMMANDER BANKHEAD. Admiral Lee mentiona the gallant conduct of Com* cpander Bankhead, of the Monitor, Commander Bank- head is a full commander in the United States navy. Te ina native of North Carolina, and entered the navy in the mouth of Anguat, 1838. J. M. A. Nicholson, Famuel Marcy, C. M, Faunteroy, and others, graduated with bim. He was attached at various times to nearly ail the ships of the old navy, and cruised on the Mediterranean, (he Coast of Africa and Byrout. In 1861 he was temporarily attached to the Coast Survey, and rendered good wervice to the government while acting in aoch capacity. He is Credited with over twenjy years actual sea service. The bravery and chivairous conduct displayed by him while commanding the steam gunboat Pembina marked Lim ‘out as tho man to putceed Worden tn command of the re- nowned Monitor. Although @ native of North Carvlina, Capt. Bankhead was appointed from Virginia. He is per. sonally very popular, There are not many meno in We navy superior to him in geographical knowlodge—a fact that would seem to indicate bis reliability in vavigal vo, expecially on a coast so familiar to him as that surround” ing Hatteras. LIRUTENANT GREEN. This young »Mcer, who sends the despatch quoted, la @ native of Maryland, and acts as Executive on the Movitor, was appointed from the State of Rhode Island in Septem ber, 1856, He has, nevertheless, performed importact duty since that time,and bas no less than «ix years active service to his credit. Ho was allotted to the Hart ford, Commodore Farragut’s flagship; but is chiefly known io the navy, and to the public generally, for bis gallant service in connection with the Monitor. He was only « midshipman in 1961, 204 were It not for tne time honored rules which regulate promotions in the vaval service, he would be a captain by this time. TES RHODE ISLAND. It will be observed that the despatches record the loes of some of the Rhode Island's officers and men. This ‘vonsel was ordered afew days since to proceed to For trees Monron and convoy the Monitor on her importaot mission. She did #0; took the iron-clad in tow, and, of course, was hitched t her by ahawser when the unfor. tanate aisester ocourred. It was, doubtiess, in attompt.ng to release the fatal consection that the boat's crew and officers of the convoy were lost The Rhode Inland was recently converted into a gun boat, She was formerly the sidewheel steamer Fagle | fa 1,617 tons burden, two hundred and thirty.#tx foot yong, thirty-ix feet wide and eighteen feet deep.

At lnet, said be, tho government of the Unitea States mands straight again. President of the United Staten coud not be acoused of rashnews in ikeuing the Proclamation of emancipation, and he considered jt the event of tbe century. There wore two great facts in the world, viz:—the Actocrat of Russta freeing his serie, and President Lincoln declaring liberty to millions of ‘slaves tn ‘America, Those two facts were like two mountains of Calvary lifted up, and ail the rest that was doing in the work wae Dke an atom im comparison.
