8 TEPORTANT FROM WASHINGTO ‘The Radical Programme fer the Presecution of the War. Passage of the Fimance Bill im the House. Ren ae, ae Wasuixcroy, Jan. 26, 1868. VIGOROUS PROSBOUTION OF THE WAR UNTIL MAY— QBNERAL HOOKER TO ATTACK RICHMOND—ROSE- CBANS TO BE HEAVILY REINFORCED— VICKSBURG AND PORT HUDSON TO BK ATTACKED BY OVER- WHELMING FORCES—THE MISSISSIPPI TO BE CLEARED OF THE ENEMY—THESE PLANS FAILING, THE RADICALS WILL ACCEPT THE MEDIATION OF WAPOLEON AND RECOGNIZE THE SOUTH, THEY TO YROMISE GRADUAL EMANCIPATION, ETC. Wasmxctoy, Jan, 25, 1863. ‘The following details, obtained from political and diplo- matic sources, will doubtless prove of interest. The Fadicals, foreseoing that it is impossible for them to con- ‘Unne the war until the end of President Lincoln's term of office, as ere many months the people would refuse them either treasure or men, have adopted a plan which will render a peace probable before midsummer, The appointment of General ‘Hooker to the command of the “army of the Potomac in place of General Burnside, who resig) 8, is a part of the plan above mentioned. The radicals ive Getermined to prosocute the war with the greatest vigor fo? tho next three or four months, and Bence we may expect some prompt action on the part of the new commander, who will have an opportunity to distinguish himself should he possess the necessary qualt- Qcations for handling so large an army as he now has the direction of. We are ail aware that General Hooker has the dash, the impetuous courage to carry out bis plans. Whether he has the mili- tary genius to form effective plans time alone will show. But one thing is certain: the General’s instructions are all im keeping with his daring disposition. In the West General Rosecrans will be heavily reinforced, and an army sufficient in numbers to successfully attack Vicks- ‘burg and Port Hudson will be sent against those places. A strong effort will be made to conquer Richmond, clear she Mississippi and thus drive the rebels to sue for peace within the next three months. While this phase of the radical programme will be going on here, secret agente of the government will visit Europe for the purpose of conferring with the Emperor of the French as regards the mediation of the European Powers between the North and South. It is supposed by the radiculs that Napoleon could easily induce other nations to join him in ap offer for intervention if they were aware beforehand that our government would accept their proffered services, It is intended by the radicals that, as a condition of their recognizing the South, it shall agree to a plan of gradual emancipation, the North making a like agreement as to those portions of slave- holding territory which, by the division of the country, ‘would remain under the Washington government. The abolitionists deem that were the South to refuse such conditions it would be placed without the pale of oiviliza- tion, and that then an effort te conquer the slayeholders would surely succeed. The suspense will be but of short duration, Between now snd the month of May we shall know whether we are to have a peace conquered by our arms or a peace by the mediation of foreign Powers. ‘The new commander of the Army of the Potomac has certainly one great advantage. The plans laid down py General McClellan have only to be properly carried out for success to ensue. What these plans were General Hooker, of course, is now well aware. He thus has his course marked out beforehand. Our peoplo appreciate that bad General McClellan been untrammelied vy the schemes and intrigues of ig- norant civilians, he would long ere this have ended the war. General Heoker will to a great extent be free from ‘the obstacles which rendered all of General McClellan's ‘well conceived plans unsuccessful, as the radicals are ‘ware that this is their last chance. The new commander ‘will thus have one great advantage over his predecessors, and, from the mere fact that he will be allowed to act according to his own judgment, he will the more likely succeed. Should his efforts prove uoavailing, or fresh disasters overtake our armies, the hopes of the radicals will centre ‘apon Napoleon, whose mediation they will then accept. ‘There is one feature in this plaa which must not be over- looked—it rids Napoleon of a great danger; that is of recognizing the Southern confederacy even at the risk of © war with the North. Of course the moment he fore- seen that within a few months be may be asked to mediate, be will, before precipitating events, await the results of ‘the vigorous campaign which the radicals have decided upon. He will let the spring pass by, as at its termina- tion either tbe South will have been conquered or the North will be ready to accept his intervention. That the radicals have but little faith in the results of the campaign may be presumed from the fact that they lay 80 much stress upon mediation. They have already decided upon what portions of territory now in our possession should be ceded to the Seuth in retarn for cessions to bo made by the Davis government necessary to the satisfac- tory arrangement of the division line. The radicals count ‘upon the resumption of commercial transactions between the two countries the moment the mediation is accepted, ‘and imagine that the people would easily fall into the pro- pored arrangement for the sake of peace and its conse- quent prosperity. They hope that after the separation of North and South their tenure of power inthe North would remain firm. As regards the debts incurred by both parties, in case of aseparation, each government ‘would attend to its own indebtedness, of course. From these plans we may safely venture to predict a cegsation of hostilities, at least by midsummer. The radicals are aware that, unless this campaign succeeds, the means for any further prosecution of the war would Doout of their reach; added to which, they are in great fear of a revolution throughout the North and West, the people by this time being tired of abolition and its shining marks, and unwilling to do anything more for ‘Shem or their idol—the negro, PASSAGE OF THE FINANCE BILL IN THE HOUSE. The Finance bill was passed by the House to-day, with only two unimportant alterations from the bill as perfect- ed in Committee of the Whole on Friday. Mr. Sherman introduced in tho Sonate to-day a finance bill, and no doubt an attempt will be made to tack its principal fea tures upon the House bill. Mr. Sherman's vill is identical with that of Mr. Hooper. It is thought by some that | there will be @ good deal of financial tinkering done in the | Senato. ‘The passage of the Ways and Means Committee's Fi. nance bill has already produced here a perceptible infla- tion of prices. Large transactions have been made in almost every kind of commodity, and at increased prices. ‘The fmpression is that the passage of this bill will carry ‘valuos to an enormous extent. There were a great mavy purchasers for gold in the market to-day, and sales were made to the amount of « million of dollars, chiefly at fifty four premium. Itis probable that the Senate will make very material amendments to the blll that passed the House; but the prospect is that there will be a very large inflation of the currency and a cousoquent aggrava tion of prices, GENERAL BUTLER AND THE WAR SECRETARYSHIP. An almost universal desire on the part of ardent friends of the Union of all political classifications has been ox- pressed here within the last fow days that General Ben- Jamin F. Butler shall be ealled to the position of Secretary ‘of War, as the best man under existing circumstances to inepire confidence, both in the army and out of it, in the Proper management of the military department of the government General Banks for this position; but since he has been ‘sent Off eut of reach nearly all who are convinced thata change is necessary have settled upon Genoral Butler as | the man for the place and the times. THE EFFORTS OF THE RADICALS TO GET MR, SEWARD OUT OF THE CABINET. Caucusing never was 80 prevalont or so persistently carried on as now. Even Wendell Phillips and the other strong minded men of his peculiar stamp went ina body ‘Jast night to the President's house and demanded the re- moval cf Seward. They are not without fear that their fire and fervor was not quite consistent with court language and conduct; but they say that the President ‘Aroated them kindly. The meeting of republicans at the White House who are Dovtile to Mr. Seward haa no precedent in Washington eta SECKETARY STANTON'S INTENTIONS. Tote stated that Mr. Stanton intends to continue super- PPting until leading officers can be eecured who will move: Vibe withdrawal of conspicuous officers will, it is held, fire ambition of thore of lower grades, and the prompect $e! promotion from the ranks, with rogular pay and medals Yor daring service, of soldiers, wili infuse a now and inex.

THE SEIZURES OF REBFL VROPERTY Is THE DISTRICT OP COLUMBIA, In reply to a question of inquiry relative to property heretofore seized by the Military Goveruur of the District ‘of Columbia asthe property of rebels, the Secretary of War encloses a communication from Generai Martindale, detailing the circumstances of the confict of the military ‘and civil authorities with regard to the property of Judge Campbell, which, after its weizure by the military au- thorities, was turned over to the Marshal of the Dis- trict vpon @ writ of replevin. General Martindale suggests further legislation by Congress, to embrace two points. First, to authorize tho seizure of rebel property by military authority, as though martial law existed, but to de transferred to the civil authorities | for condemnation and sale in those districts where the civil courts are in operation ,and to courts nearest where rebellion has interrupted civil courts; second, continued absenee and general reputation of disloyalty to authorize condemnation and sale, unless the owner of the property seized shall appear and prove his loyalty. REPORT OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA TAX COMMIS- SIONERS. The United States Tax Commissioners for South Caro- lina have made a preliminary report, in which they say it must be obvious the system of free labor has not had a fair trial in the part of that State under United States control. Scarcely any system has been put to a practical test, and, owing to casualties, and the shifting ciroum- stances of military occupation, no permanent labor policy can be imangurated. The great impediment to progress is the uncertainty which overhangs the future of the colored people, It is a great mistake to suppose them upmindful of the uncertainty of thelr condition. Never- theless, they are but tenants at will, on the grace of the government, subject to military caprice and necessity, with a strong desire to obtain permanent.and free homes where they were born and reared. This class of people, the Commissioners say, are daily thronging their doors anxiously inquiring about their destiny when the land shall be sold for taxes, They feel the necessity of some guiding minds to direct them intoa new state of existence, the immense magnitude of which they appreciate, but the details of which they are unable to cemprehend. The males especially are anxious to con- tinue on, or return to their former labor, provided they and their families @an be assured of their freedom, moderate compensation, free homes and permanent em- ployment. GENERAL BURNSIDE AND GENERAL HOOKER. Among the on dits afloat in this city with regard to the change in the*command of the Army of the Potomac is that General Burnside insisted on being relieved from his command on the ground of a difficulty betwoe.. General Hooker and himself. It appears that when General Burn- side discovered his artivery, &.,had stuck in the mud he proposed, in an assembled council of war, to leave the artillery and make a bold attack with his infantry, on the ground that the rebels would not be more abie to move their guns than himself. General Hooker opposed this, and said he would not gowithout the artillery. This opposition caused the expedition to be abandoned and the army ordered back. General Burnside then came to this city and resigned. THE €M’DOWELL COURT OF INQUIRY. ‘The McDowell Court of Inquiry sat with closed doors to-day. It is understood they were awaiting the arrival of General Milroy and Lieutenant Colonel Locke, formerly of General Porter’s staff, who are the only two witnesses yet to be examined. GENERAL FITZ JOHN PORTER'S CASE. Consideration was refused to a resolution to call out all "| the record concerning General Fitz John Porter. POSTPONEMENT OF SENATOR M’DOUGALL’S SPEECH ON THR FRENCH INVASION OF MEXICO. Senator McDougall did not make bis speech upon the French policy in Mexico as was anticipated. The post- ponement was made’ in consequence of the latest news from Mexico, and a desire on the part of the Sevator to study the subject io the light of fuller advices. THE PROPOSED NATIONAL ARSENAL AT NEW YORK. ‘The bill to establish an arsenal and ordnance depot at New York, reported yack to the House by the Military | | | | There are many who would have preferred | krades, to carry | Committee, directs the Secretary of War to purchase such quantity of lagd and water privilege, on and near the tide water of New York harbor, as may be suitable for an arsenal adapted to the construction of ordnance and ord- nance stores, for a depot for the storage and preservation thereof, and for the proof and experimental firing of heavy ordnance; and also to erect on such lands suitable Duildings, wharves, machinery, &c. The sum of eight hundred and eighty-six thousand five bundred dollars is appropriated for these purposes. ‘THE SURGEON GENERAL AND THE MEDICAL INSPECTOR GENERAL. ‘The court martial ordered upon the charges preferred by the Surgeon General against Medical Inspector General Perly assembled to-day; but before it bad proceeded to business an order was produced dissolving the court. The cause for this summary dissolution of the court is not known, General Hammond has been sedulously endea- voring to systematize and perfect the Medical Department and Increase its efficiency. Notwithstanding the proju- dice at first entertained against him by some of the old surgeons of the army, he bas endeared himself to the whole corps; and, although offered lucrative positions elsewhere, he has been induced by the persuasion of his associates to remain in this position. There appears tobe an effort on the part of some dissatisfied persons to drive him to resign. GENERAL STONE. A few days ago Gen. Chas. D. Stone was detained for duty upon a Court Martial ordered upon the case of Floyd Jones, To-day, for the first time in nearly a year, he ap- peared in fall uniform, but was met by an order detach ing him from the service to which he had been assigned. GOVERNOR ANDREW AND THE NEGRO REGIMENTS. ‘The special business of Governor Andrew is to get the enlistments of negro regiments in the North endorsed here. His backbone and that of Governor Washburn, are expected to tell, on the President in adopting a thorough going and exhaustive radical policy. GENERAL CAMERON ENDEAVORING TO RESUSCITATE HIS DROOPING PROSPECTS. When Cameron found that he had been sold by demo. cratic tactics at Harrisburg, he at once resolved to push on to Washington, put on a bold face and repair his dark- ening fortune. Of course plenty of the republican politicians are glad to see him out in the cold, and it is not known that Colonel Forney even is making himself personally very conspicuous in bolstering up his friend, The latter has appeared at a couple of tevees of officials, and the indications are that the caucus of re- publicans, at a small hotel or boarding house here, was ‘was got up to bolster General Cameron, by giving him an opportunity to make a speech, It might be interesting to know who paid for the gold-headed swordcane that was then and there presented to John Covode. LOYALTY OF TH INDIANS OF THE FAR WEST. ‘The Indian Burean is in the receipt of information from its Upper Arkansas agency that the Camanches, Apaches and Kiowas have come in and reosived their goods and presents, and have gone to their hunting grounds re. jotcing. ‘They sey they have no desire to join the South. ern confederacy. I this respect they seem to behave better than the nearly civilized tribes of the Indian coun- try south of Kansas, who are identified with the cause of the rebels. In the debate to-day upon the subject of removing Kaneas Indians to the above region, Mr. Colla. mer joconely remarked that he did not subscribe to the justice of such removal, because they were to get into a better neighborhood, and Mr. Feasenden recited some old ideas, under the bead of “ Lo! the poor Indian .’’ THE MINNESOTA SIOUX MURDERERS. Private advices have been received here from persons io Minnesota who, in the capacity of teachers and mia- sionaries, have superior knowledge as to who the really guilty parties in the massacre in that State were, The substance of the advices is that the real murderors escaped with Lite Crow and White Lodge and joined the hostHe and rapacious wild Sioux of the plains, It is felt ‘that the amity Sioux a1 sort of a barrier against the former, and their general peaceful disposition is shown by their giving themselves up to our troops, THR ADDITIONAL OFFICERS FOR 1 TER GENERAL'S OFFICE. bill authorizing the appointments of solicitor and clerk in the Quartermasters’ partment, to examine accounts, reads as if it makes a new Anditor’s Bureau, under the con. trol of the Seeretary of War, Floyd asked this, and it was refused.

There is @ radical difference in the treatment of the black men and the rea men by the radicals im Congress. ‘Threo propositions are pending in the Senate, with a view to extirpate the Indians in the neigh- bvorhood of the white communities in the Northwest, while in the House a bill is to be discussed proposing to make soldiers of the blacks, Senator Lane says the red man and the white cannot exist in contact, while Mr. Ste- vens, in the House, proposes to organize one hundred and fifty black regiments, with white field and staff offleers.

Munyaxsspono, Tenn, Jan. 26, 1863. Genera! Rosecrans hopes the Cincinnati, Louisville and other newspapers will desist from the practice of pub- Ushing reports of. shipments of supplies to the Depart- ment of the Cumberland. This is substantially a notifi- cation to the rebels to prepare their forces for the capture of such supplies. It is understood, however, that nowse papers would not make such publications if quartermas- ters and commissaries did not furnish the items, Wheeler's cavairy made a dash at a train of cars, on Sunday, on the railway between Nashville and Franklin, and succeeded in destroying two cars, but wero frigtened away before they destroyed the balance of the train, A convalescent killed one of the rebels, One Union Ser- geant was badly wounded. Brigadier General D. 8. Stanley followed the rebele sharply, but they had too much the start of him. He rode fifty-two miles within twenty hours, Rebel cavalry in considerable bodies constantly hover on our flanks, watching our communication, The govern- ment ought to reinforces the cavalry arm of this depart. ment and supply horses to mount infantry regiments to pursue the rebels. The rebel General Wheeler has been appointed major general, and is in command of the all the rebel cavalry in Tennersee. Captain Elmore Otis, of the Fourth United States caval- ry, who distinguished himself conspicuously in a splendid and successful charge upon the enemy in the battle of Stone’s river, and who now commands a brigade of cavalry, has been recommeuded by General Rosecrans for a brigadier generalship; also Colonel Stanley and all the ofBeers of his brigade for promotion to brigadier generals. Brigadier General Garfield, who whipped Humphrey Marshall in Eastern Kentucky, and who afterwards dis- tinguished himself in the command of a brigade at Shi- loh, has reported to General Rosecrans for duty, and will probably be assigned to the command of a division in the Army of the Cumberland. Brigadier General R. W. Johnson, during the absence of General McCook, commands the right wing. Brigadier General Granger commands Generai Rosecrans’ division. It is reported that the enemy are being reinforced. An intercepted letter from a member of General Bragg’s Staff indicates that the feeling against Bragg is so strong that he will be superseded. The writer admits that, not- withstanding the rebels captured the most guns anf several thousand prisoners fyom us, they were badly whipped. He says the slaughter of thelr efficers was awfal, and, although the fighting of the rebel army was splendid, they were beaten by superior generalship and by the obstinacy of the Yankees. The whole number of the rebel prisoners captured in the battle was about 3,500, with eight guns and four standards. The weather continues stormy and the rivers are swelling. Dr. E. Swift, United States Army, Medical Director of this department, whose services are almost invaluable, will be strongly recommended for promotion, to rank as lieutenant colonel, for long years of active service. Honors to Brigadier G ral Hatch, Oswroo, N. Y., Jan. 26, 1862. The friends of Brigadier General John P. Hatch to day made him a present of a service of silver and a policy of insurance on his life. An immense crowd of people was Present. Major Foot presided, and the presentation speech was made by Judge Brewster, to which the Gene- ral, who is just recovering from his wound, responded. Thomas H. Bond, of New Havon Connecticut , somewhat marred the harmony of the gathering by making a speech denouncurg those who support the President’s emancipa- tion prociamation.

THE TROUI AMONG THE MEMBERS OF THE BED- FORD STREET METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH— CONCLUSION OF THE CASE FOR THE DEFENCE, BTC. JAN, 26.—The case of Joel B.

Cros-examibation-——In 1861 and 1862 believed the house in Carmine street well worth $7,500. The case for the defeuce was resied a: this point. Mr. Roome, a witness for the prosecution, was recalled by the prosecuting officer. Counsel for the defence ob- Jocted to his being again put on the stand. The Court decided to overrule the objection and allow the witness to be examined for the purpose of obtaining rebutting evi dence g the property of the defendant, Witness Teatitied that defendant admitted to bim that the house in Carmine stroot had been sold for $3,800.
