REPORT THAT GENERAL BUTLER 15 TO TARY OF WAR. ‘Thero bas been much congratulation bere for the last wonty-four hours, among all classes and shades of citi- ns, soldiers and politicians, over the current rumor hist General Bonjamin F. Butler is to be called to the Var Department, in the placo of Mr. Stanton. Tke an- uneiation of this fact occasions great rejoicing in Con- sand in the army. It is believed that this change not only restore public confidence, but will infuse in- nergy and activity hich will surely bring successes. That a change in eho mnllitary administration is necessary nas long been @ regone couolusion, and the administrative abillty and prompt and energetic conduct of General Butler point him out as fitted to revive the fainting hopes of the loyal jo and to give activity to all eur army operations, It pay be that the announcement that General Builer is to Secretary of War is premature; but it is strongly con- ed by the jealous caro with which erery allusion to t ig excluded from all telegraphic despatches by the cen- Departinent, therwise there is good reison for lelieviag that General jutler is to be assigned the position of Genvralein-Chief, the place of General Halio: It is cortuin that this intment has been tendered amd is still held under mnsideation, GENERAL VIELE SUPERSEDED AT NOMFOLK.

Much feeling is exhibited here in regard to the publica. ion of a punphlet purporting vo be the evidence in full in the Fitz John Porter trial. This ts a base and most con- temptibie swindle, the evidence tor the defenco, which is threefold more lengthy tau that of the prosecation, Being entirely omitted. The intention of this is transpa- Tent. General Porter, having boon deprived of his com- mand, and also of bis civil rights, looks now only to pub. Me sontiment to vindicate him, after it shall have been eulightened by a thorough perusal of the evidence, Tho object of this mean and ing pamphlet ts to fore. ‘Stall public opinion in advance of the full publication of the evidence. The evidence in the caso will cover twelve hundred closely written pages of foolsoap, and the arguments of the counsel for defence, Messrs, Reverdy Johnson and Charles E. ames, two hundred and twonty-five pages more. The Judge Advocate, Colonel Hoit, it will be remembered, declined to detain the mem- ‘bers of tho court from thir duties in the eld by replying to the arguments of covusel for the accused. The court thereupon went into secret deliberation upon the evi dence, waking & verdict at eight o’clook P.M, and transmitting it to tho P it for approval. In circles here it was almost onanimousiy agreed that the verdict was favorable to General Porter, His friends and enemies salike agreed that the government had failed to make a roago against him, With surprise and much indignation, bis friends ot last heart of the decision of the court and im approval by the President. The review of the evi- edonce by Judge Holt, whicb has been paraded se exten. velvely, had uothing todo with the court's decision, and ‘was mado at the tustance of tho President, to wave bis Kxoeliency the excessive labor of wading through this immense mass of ovidence, Judge Hoit’s review appears to settled the President in his con. vietion of General Porter's guilt, for the decision was an- Y mounced suortly afterwards. Surprise i ested that ve man! @ review uf evidence should be allowod after the court Had # ijourned, by a government offiver, to atect the Pre- mident’s docisim on the verdict of the court.

The evidence was socording- ly indexed and placed in Mr. Chase's hands, who devoted a day to its perusal, and immediately after- ward waited upon the President and requested him to re- Verse the sentence aud reinstate Colonel Ford. Tbe Preat- donut desired to send for Secretary Stanton, remarking that this was acase belonging to his dopartment. Mr. Stanton was at levgth sent for,and he upbraided Mr. Chase for having interfered in a matter belonging to his department, It is suid that the Secretary of War became very warm onthe subject. Mr. Chase replied that “he had interested himself personally ‘for Colonel Ford, be- cause be had been associated with him sevoral years in politics, had run with him and been elected upon the same ticket.”” Mr. Stanton then repliod that ‘Ford was no friend to Mr. Chase,” and pulled from his pocket @ letter written by Ford toa gentleman in Maryland two years ago, which contained some severe strictures upon him (fr. Chase). The Secretary of the ‘Treasury replied that ‘Tom Ford had often said haraher things to his faco.’’ In tho letter Ford had said simply that Mr. Chaso was “too black’ in his politics. Mr. ‘Chase then administered a sarcastic rebuke to Mr. Stan- ton for having made uso of a private letter writ. ten to another person in order to injure & poljtical enemy or to gratify a personal prejudice. Mr. Stanton, finding himself in a wrong position, begged Mr. Chase to say nothing about the letter; but that gentleman replicd that he should mention it to two parties most directly interested, who would make such use of the in- formation as they thought proper. The President took no part in this altercation,and seemed rather to enjoy it. ‘The result was that he did not sign the reversal of Ford's septenoo until.a few days ago, when Judge Swain waited upon him and urged him to do so. Tho order was signod on the 26th ult. It would seem that the Secretary of War had expected Mr, Chase to interest himself in the matter, and fortified himself with the private letter referred to, and was thus able to pull it from a side pocket at the critical moment. MAJOR GENERAL BICKLES. General Daniel E. Sickles is now in command of tho Third Army corps, General Stoneman being absent. General Sickles bas the reputation in the army of being one of the most active and efficient commanders in the field. His troops are in first rate fighting condition, and ready fora brush with the enemy at a moment's warn- ing. SHIPS-OF-WAR AND CANNON FOR THE JAPANESE. ‘The Senate some time ago called upon the President, by resolution, to inform them whether any commissioner, Tepresentative or agent of our government has been engaged by the Japanese to construct for them ships-of- war. The response to this inquiry shows that our Minister, Mr. Pruyn, was requested by the Minister for Foreign Affairs to have built in the United States for that government two steam sloops-of-war, of twenty: four heavy guns each, and one steam gunboat, also with heavy guns. Mr. Pruyn says he was induced to take the order, hoping and expecting on its arrival home that the rebellion would bo crushed, and that it would supply work to our mechanics. The Japanese, in addition, requested him to procure for them a rifling machine and fleld battery of six guns. fle accordingly fixed upon. Thurlow Weed to designate an agent without reward, and selected Charles B. Lansing, of Albany, as his associate. Of the $868,000 required for these objects $200,000 were promptly paid. Mr. Pruyn says he has been highly flattered by the proofs of confi- dence given him by that government. Mr. Seward, under date of January 17, writing to Mr. Weed, ;said it was advisable before proceeding to carry out the views of the Japanese to consult tho Wat and Navy Departments. In the course of the correpondence Secretary Welles says:—‘It were better if the Japanese had appointed their own agents,” his impression being adverse to having our government or its representatives involved im these trausactions, Otnerwise he has no ob- jection to the proposed measure, so far asthe Navy De- partment is concerned. Secretary Stanton replies to Mr. Seward’s tnquiry:—It does not rest with the War Department to grant or with- hold any permission to have any war vessels built in this country for the Japanese. As to cannon for them, it is found impossible to have them cast as rapidly as+the ‘wants of our service demand,and hence military neces- sity forbids the execution of that part of the order.”’ Mr. Seward, January 29, writes to Mr. Pruyn:—‘‘The no- coasities of our§service will not forbid a compliance with the orders of the Japanese government, #0 far as the con- struction of vessels is concerned, but that the armament cannot at present be furnished; and our Minister is instructed to say to that government that his services In the premises are entirely of an unofficial character. THE STOLEN TREASURY CERTIFICATRS. The steps taken by the Secretary of the Treasury for the recovery of the certificates of indebtedness recently stolen from the office of the Treasury of the United States Bave been successful, All the certificates have been recevered, and are now in possession of the government. They were in sums of $5,000 each, and amounted in all to $2,600,000; but being unfinished, and the department having notified the public of the loss, the thief probably found it useless to offor them in the market. Chris. P. Hogan, formerly well known in New York as a detective police officer, and now attached to the Motro- politaa Police here, bas returned from am investigation of the theft of the two and a half millions of blank cer tifleates of indebtedvess stolen last fall from the United States Treasury. Having obtained a clue to the robbers, be went to New York on Friday last, and yesterday recov- ered possession of all the stolen certificates, and Is now upon the track of the robbers, who, through his exertions, will probably be arrested. The management of this afsir is very creditable to Mr. Hogan. THE Navy. Commander 8. M. Brasher has been ordered to report at the Navy Yard at Pensacola, SOME OF THE EFFECTS OF RADICALISM. There appears to prevail among the employes of tho various departments of the goverument a procrastinating spiriton the part of those who adhere to the radical faith to compel those around them, and even their superiors In office, to come up to their standard in radical- ism. The exhidition of this disposition bas already pro- duced much dissatisfaction and insubordination. There never was a time when so much illiberality bas been manifested in the departments of the government and so much ill feeling engendered among the heads of bureaus and their sabordmates. WHAT 18 #AID OF THE HOSPITALS. Dr. Mercer, Medical Inspector General of tho Britieh Army, has lately visited the general hospitals in Washing- ton and vicinity, and provounces them euperior in bed- ding, ventilation and facilities for cooking, also in the abundance and variety of food, any similar institutions in Europe. He compiiments the Medical Department here for its energy, resources and progress. THR CHARGES AGAINST THE COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS. The committee to investigate the charges made againat Commissioner Holloway, by a clerk im the Agricultural Bureau, was appointed at the request of Mr. Hoilo- way himself. The chairman was selected by bim because it was understood he had expressed an opinion that the charges were sufficiently so- rious to need investigation There is no doubt that this aseauit is prompted by the purest malice, and tho investigation wilt fully vindicate the Com. | missioner, and by record testimony alone confound bis accusers Mr. Holloway Courts the investigation, as it will exbibit more piainly than any othor course the pro- priety and economy of bis conduct of affairs in the Patent Oftice.

The House next resumed the consideration of the Iilinols and Now York Ship Canal bill. Mr. Ou, (rep.) of N. Y., said this measure had long been a subject of discussion and reflection, and its pro- visions, in a great degree, wore well understood by the members. Nevertheless , he would now notice the iat out raveaple iocm erp ab, oy treed ih A pf aes po ee tere by the mittee on Naval |, and be clatmed the responsibility of saying that tn every material fact it was a tissue of misrepresenta- tion and misstatement. Mr. F. A. Conxuna, (rep.) of N. Y., rose tom question of order. The was indecorous and insulting toa comm! of this House. The overruled the point,on the ground that Yhore was nothing porsonal in the remark. Mr. O1ix withdrew the remark. Nevertheless, he bo lieved that misstatements bad been made in the report. That there was an utter misrepresentation of facts was ‘witbout question. The author of the report knew certain facts, and knowing them he must also have been aware that it was an utter misreprosentation to say that thecanals could not be enlarged. He controverted the positions taken in the report, insist! that thore wag a military necessity. for the enlargement of the canals, apart from the facilities necessary to commerce. Mr. Vooxixns, (opp.) of Ind., said if he had before had any doubt of the propriety of the passage of this mea. sure, it had been deepened and confirmed after Mr. Olin’s speech. Such stupendous internal improvements wore opposed to the principles of his party. It seemed that every measure intended to spend money and bestow patronage met the approbation of the republican side of ‘the House. In te present condition of the finances ho was satisfied with the channels and canals which given the West. The natural channels to the Mississippi and the Gulf than they could cause the waters of that river to run upward. Digging ditches was not the way to unite the West with Now England, as bad been urged by the gentloman from New York. Mr. ARNOLD, (rep.) of Ml1., briefly explained the import- ance of the proposed improvement. With one month for commerce at New Orleans, aud another at New York, the dentinies of the republic were one and perpetual, and this was @ strong consideration in favor of the bill. Mr. Ket100G, (rep.) of Til, anawered an objection of Mr. Voorbees, as to the unnavigable condition from the Month of the Iilinis to St. Louts. He was assured by re- sponse: ble and intelligent authority that, with a few sight excepts ne, there had been a dopth of Six fest of water, and generally more Mr. Dawns, (rep.) of Mass., saying that he would yoto for the biil, remarked that New England would not ask the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Voorhees) on what terms she would remain in the Union. He defied the gen tleman to prescribe terms for that purpose. We hada common heritage in the Union. The bones of New Eng- land's sons were sleeping with those of Indiana's, and could not be separated until all were called to account. New Engiand could not be frightened by the utterances of the gentleman, nor would she come to him for her faith Mr. Voor said he waa associated with the gentle- tleman from Massachusetts on the Committee of Elections, ‘and usually found him more amiable than be was this afternoon. He (Mr. Voorhees) believed that to morrow the gentleman would be ashamed of his couduct, as well as bis friends Mr. Dawss was not aware that he had said anything of- fengive. ir. Vooramen loft it for the Floure to say whether the gentleman had afforded a good or bad «pecimen of New England manners. Mr. Dawes remarked that it waa sufficient for bim to say that the Scriptures indicated how one should be answored according to his folly. (Laughter.) Mr. Voormeu thought no one so competent to do that as tho xentleman himself. (Laughter.) Mr. Hotman, (opp.) of Ind., opposed the bill. There must be even handed justice if wo expect the integrity of the Ui fon to continue. It was not, as had beoa contended, by works of improvement of this character that the coun- try could be saved. He reached the conclusions of the report of the Naval Committee that this work was not inten‘ied for military parposes. Without concluding om the question the Louse ad Journed.
