THE SITUATION. There is nothing new from General Hooker's | yesterday, the Union League meeting and com- army. Some general orders have been issued re- lative to the disposition of regiments whose term of enlistment is about to expire. ° , and an attack upon our lines was ked. for, from hour to honr, for some postponement of his visit of inspection to his Wanye past.

Qur correspondence from North Carolina con- tains a very interesting account of the starting of General Heckman's brigade from Port Royal to the relief of General Foster. ‘The rebels made a determined attack on Fayette- wille, Arkansas, on Saturday morning with a force ‘of three thousand men, but they were gallantly re- palaed by our troops, who only numbered two thou- sand in all, and many of them were unarmed. The fight lasted four hours, and although our men were mostly Arkansas recruits, and the enemy had four pieces of artillery, the latter were driven back to- wards Ozark in disorder. They were commanded by | Gen. Cobell. Our forces were in charge of Col. Marrison. Our extracts from the Southern journals to-day fre more than usually interesting, An editorial from the Richmond Enquirer, in particular, is most Fivnificant. It predicts a continuance ofthe war for two years’ more, and makes an earnest call on the people to make every sacrifice for patriotism.

The committee agree on appropriating one million dol- lars for harbor and frontier defences, to be ex- pended under the direction of the Governor, Comptroller and Senator Morgan. The conference committee appointed to adjust the differences between the two houses on the disposition to be made of the surplus canal revenves also made a report, recommending that $200,000 of the amount be used to pay debts and awards against the canals due this year; $25,000 for surveys to ascertain the feasibility and coat of constructing one tier of large locks, and the balance, some $300,000,for repairs and improvements. The bill appropriating $500,000 to arm and equip the State militia was considered for some time by the Scnate, amended by making the appropriation only $158,000, and ordered to a third reading. The Senate passed the bills establishing a board of officers for the First of the National Guard, relative statistics of crime in this city, and the Annual Supply bill and the bill empowering our Mayor and Comptroller to appoint thirty tax marshals. Resolutions were adopted for a survey of the canal* locks, with a view to their en- largement; algo, requesting the national govern- ment to appoint an engineer to act with the State Surveyor in the matter. The resolution directing the Bank Superintendent to inquire into the con- dition of the savings banks of the Btate was also adopted. The bill amending thé Excise law was ordered to a third reading, after being amended 80 as to provide that no licenses for the sale of spirituous liquors shall be granted in election dis- tricts where a majority of the electors shall sig- nify such to be their desire.” In the Assembly the bill to authorize banking vorably to the House by the Grinding Committee, and, after some discussion, was sent back to the Committee of the Whole. This is considered equi- valent to the defeat of the measure for this session. The bill providing for the recording of internal revenue stamps was passed.

After the two documents had siderable length in his own defence. The discus- sion of the subject was then participated in by various members, the debate being continued until after two o'clock this morning. The question on the adoption of the majority report was then or- dered; but the democratic members refused to participate further in the proceedings, the most of them leaving the chamber, and at half-past two, without a decision of the question, amid great con- fusion, the Assembly adjourned. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. Captain Doherty, of the British brig La Cayenne, wt this port from Aux Cayes, reports that on the 11th instant, off Cape Tiburon, was spoken by a screw steamer, bark rigged, painted black, who asked who and what we were?—what cargo?

The request was received, but declined. The mombers then adjourned to visit the institutions, on the invitation of Mr. Simeon Draper. A regular meeting of the Board of Councilmen was held last evening. After transacting a large amount of routine business, a message was receiv- ed from the Mayor, containing a strong remon- strance against the Broadway and other city rail- road projects before the Albany Legislature. This message was sent into the Board of Aldermen on the 2d inst.; but owing to that Board not having been in session during the present month the message was yesterday transmitted to the Board of Councilmen, who, after hearing it read, ordered it to be printed in,the minutes and referred to the Committee on Railroads. On mo- tion of Mr. Brice, the Board adjourned until half- past one o'clock to-day, for the purpose of taking some action in reference to the funeral of the late Lieut. Col. Kimball, whose remains will, it is expected, be placed in the Governor's Room to day. In the Court of General Sessions yesterday, be- fore Recorder Hoffman, James Scully and Michael Fagan were arraigned on an indictment for rape; but by consent of the District Attorney they were allowed to plead guilty to an assadit with an in- tent to commit the more heinous offence. Remand- ed for sentence. James Conner pleaded.guilty to an indictment for grand larceny, and was sentenced to the State prison for two years. Count de Puysejer, Lieutenant on board the French transport La Seine, now lying off the Bat- tery, was arrested yesterday by the Harbor Po- lice, on charge of attempt to kidnap Peter Brown, of No. 25 Washington street, and force him on board the above vessel against his will. Justice Connolly held the accused to bail. According to the City Inspector's report, there were 450 deaths in the city during the past week— a decrease of 21 as compared with the mortality of the week previous, and 55 more than occurred during the corresponding week last year. The re- capitulation table gives 2 deaths of alcoholism, 2 of diseases of the bones, joints, &c.; 100 of the brain and nerves, 4 of the generative organa, 16 of the heart and blood vessels, 188 of the lungs, turoat, &e.: 6 of old age, 29 of diseases of the skin and eruptive fevers, 3 premature births, 27 of | diseases of the, stomach, bowels and other diges- | tive organs; 60 of uncertain seat and general fevers, 10 of diseases of the urinary organs, 12 from violent causes, and lunknown.

There were 20 noteworthy alterations in other commead! ue ing Campaign. We publish to-day an illustrative map of that ; important section of Middle ‘Tennessee in | which the army of General Rosecrans occupies the central position; and, in the same comnec- tion, we give some interesting details of the positions occupied by the rebels, their military forces on hand, and of their probable designs in this quarter of the vast theatre of this gi- gantic war. it is manifest that the enemy have a very formidable army in front of General Rosecrans, with several detachments operating upon his flanks—horse, foot and artillery—in addition to numerous bands of irregular cavalry or gueril- las, cutting up his supply trains and transports in bis rear. The grand design of all these movements, we think, is disclosed in the letter of the rebel Governor Harris, of Ten- nessee, in which he promises his seces- sion fellow citizens that, with the return of the season of low water in the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers, when Rosecrans shall be no longer able to use these Important channels of communication, his army will be allacked and driven out, and Tennessee will be fully reclaim- ed to the “Confederate States.” While bis river communications are still open and navigable, it is important, therefore, that General Rosecrans should advance upon the enemy and spoil their calculations by diving them out of the State. But we hear of no active’steys towards an ad- vance on his part, What is he waiting for? We suspect that he is awaiting the results of Gen. ‘Grant's inexplicable strategy against Vicksburg. We de pot peers gt es know anything of thé plans ‘ar Office; but, from the manner in which they are working in the South- west, we have some reason to fear that they will ond there in still another budget of blun- ders. ede, ~“¢t rept us; however, that fee rebel army of Tennessee might be routed and dis- persed, and the rebel stronghold of Vicksburg reduced, by a ‘very simple process. Let the army of General Grant be joined with that of General Rosecrans, and the two together will make very short work of the army of Bragg. Conceding that the army of Pemberton, from Vicksburg, with Graht’s abandonment of that place, may come up to the support of Bragg, his forces will be still far inferior to ours. Nor can Pemberton afford to withdraw more than half his forces from Vicksburg, with half a dozen gunboats left to watch him. Unquestionably, therefore, by this junction of Grant with Rose- crans Bragg would be defeated and driven off, with his army so cut up and so demoralized and scattered in search of food that our victorious forces by an interior line, through the heart of the enemy’s country, could move down into Vicksburg without further serious resistance. In the meantime the gunboats could do all that, Grant can do on the Mississippi river; and there is no other position in all that country in whic he could not fight the ariny of Pemberton more advantageously than behind its strong defences of Vicksburg. ‘The stupendous rebel fortifications of Colum- bus, on the Mississippi, were taken at Fort Don- elgon, on the Cumberland, by the simple pro- cess of turning them. So Vicksburg may be turned in Tennessee, by the junction of the ar- mies of Grant and Rosecrans. It is these divi- sions and subdivisions of our forces at many places which so weaken our movable armies as to enable the enemy in almost every great field ¢ to bring » superior force against us, with hardly half our aggregate num- ber of soldiers in the field. Let the government leave to take oare of. themselves all unimport- ant towns and places captured from the enemy, and look simply to the subjugation of. the ar- mies of the rebellion, and the work will soon be done. Napoleon Bonaparte did not hesitate to leave towns and cities and strong fortresses untouched bebind him, while siming for the main army of his enemy, the destruction of whioh he very well knew would give him pos- session of the enemy’s country and everything init. By this simple system of warfare, aud only by this system, can this rebellion be put down. The rebels have boastingly told us, and re- peatedly, that we may take Charleston, Rich- mond, Vicksburg and Mobile, but that while they have three hundred thousand soldiers in the field they can still maintain the war. These rebel strongholds are only important in propor- tion to the rebel troops, the artillery, factories and warlike stores and lines of communication which they cover. Corinth, while the army of Beauregard was there, was a desirable place of capture; but after his evacuation with his troops, artillery, &c., it was of no account, But all these rebel strongholds may be turned by the simple programme of two gréat armies, one East and one West, striking at the main armies of the rebellion by interior lines, instead of operating around the edges of a great cirgle. We rely upon the practical common sense of President Lincoln to try this plain and ‘infalli- ble system in the Southwest; for surely, after the anaconda system has had two years of trial, and has been found to be advantageous only te the enemy, we may hope that in this impend- ing campaign it is to be abandoned. Atiaytic Casix.—It is encouraging in these days of commercial depression to know that the merchants are taking a deep interest in telegraphic communication with Europe. Not only is this manifested in their anxiety to have a cable laid, but many have gene to work, sub- scribed liberally to the stock themselyes and laid the matter before their friends, who have also become interested. It is not strange that sagacious men, such as the merchants éf New York, should realize the necessity of placing this city in direct eommunication with Europe. Thirty years ago from thirty to fifty days were consumed in making a passage from Europe to America. At the same time we pos- sessed equal advantages with the world, as a corresponding space of time was required to communicate between the ports of Europe of like distance. Thus apon an equal footing American enterprise competed for the com- merce of the world with great suocess, dotting every sea with our fast sailing ships. Our com- mercial prosperity continued to advance until the period for transmitting telegraphic mes- sages, by means of a submarine cable, between the ports of Kurope, when American commerce received a shock. To place us upon an equal footing with Europe, as we stand under sailing and steam ships, we must bave an ocean ile- There ‘is another important /fact connected with this enterprise, and some arc wise enough to see it.

Delusion. One of the most sensible suggestions made at the Loyal League meeting yesterday was that contained in @ letter from General Sickles. After pointing out the fact that of the regiments which the State of New York contributed to the army in the spring of 1861 for two years, thirty- eight will soon leave the service, he recom- mends that the Loyal League, which has exten- sive ramifications throughout the State, should use its exertions and influence to restore to the service the experienced soldiers composing these regiments. Will the recommendation be acted upon? We fear not. it subjects to too positive a test the pa- triotic energies of those to whom it is addressed, They are taikers, and not doers. They go to witness John Van Buren’s ground and lofty tumbling, *to amuso themselves with James T. Lrady’s poetie batohelor ecstucles nbout female divinities, and With: Richard O'Gorman’s bril- liant but transcendental perorations. But as to the contemplation of anything practical fn furtherance of theig gatensjble object of aiding tw fut down the fs lion, we do not believe that one out o bundred who attend these meetings has any idea of the sort. The very title of the organiza- tion betrays this vagueness of object. Loyal League! Why “loyal?” There are no disloyal people to be found within the proposed aphere of its labors. Every houkehold, every com- munity, is a loyal league. All want to see the war successfully prosecuted. If there are any who are dissatisfied with the government it is because they see the war languishing, the re- sources of the country frittered away, and in- competent commanders put in the places of those i whom the nation reposes confidence. If they are traitors for this we fear that there are a good many s0. The word traitor is get- ting to be sadly perverted in our technology. In a recent letter to one of these league meet- ings General Halleck says thot after crushing the rebellion at the South ‘our armies will re- turn and place their heels upon the heads of snegking traitors in the North.” This is what a learned Irish tailor, speaking of a redundancy of skirt, used to call ‘a work of shuperarroga- tion.” Let our armies put down the rebels, and we can promise General Halleck that they will find no traitors at tbe North to deal thus summarily with. So far as the motive assumed by their desig- nation is’ concetned, these loyal leagues are therefore to be considered objectiess. But ina party sense they were not intended to be so. They were started by Forney to enable the republicans to carry the Presidential election in 1864. Presumptuous calculation. In ordi- nary times this discounting of the future is occasionally attended with success; but in a period like the present no man can speculate on what the next day will bring forth. Events ate crowding upon us with such fearful rapidi- ty and involve such momentous consequences that the wisest among us might as well attempt to look a century as twelve months ahead. Nothing, therefore, that political organiza- tions can now say or do can affect the great interests that are at stake. The politicians have had their sway, and that of the men of the sword commences. The nation has vested the Presi- dent with enormous powers and responsibilities, and he will be held to astrict accountability for ‘their faithful and energetic discharge. If he fails to meet fs expectations, another year will putan end to the functions which he has abused. If, on the contrary, he rises equal to its hopes, there is no saying what its gratitude may prompt itto do for him. In either case these political leagues can exercise but litile or no influence on the result. Those who take part in them are only losing their time and get- ting themselves laughed at. The Next Senson at the Watering” Places, We have already predicted that the next season at the watering places will be the most tiful eoemery:; Each of these places bas its pe- Guliar attractions. It is difficult wee which will be most patronized. While our army and navy “keep pegging away” at the rebels, Presilent Lincoln and Mra. Lincoln and their court should seek relaxation and recreation at some one of these summer retreats, Mrs. Lincolp has already visited Long Branch snd Niagara Falls; but a number of other inviting haunts remain from which to choose. So bril- Nant a season should not lack the eolat of the President's participation. The delights of the Soldiers’ Home, to which he comtnouly resorts during the dog days, cannot compare with the dancing waves and dancing parties at Newport, the waters and the soirees at Saratoga, the fresh, pure air and exquisite seenery of the Catskill Moutains, the miniature Alps and queer Shakers of Lebanon Springs, or the rural felicities of little Manchester. Besides this, if the President remains among the miasmatic swamps of Washington he will lose the chance of observing not only what the people have done fbr the war, but what the war has done for the people, ribbed, cubined and confined by the throngs of politicians which enclose him, as if within a magic circle, the President cannot fally appreciate the great- ness, wealth and. resourees of the country. These politicians, like flies, will swarm around him only the more fiergely during 9 summer heats, and wilt bift Into bis ears Absurd hopes or still tore absugd Torehodings. Let him escape from these nuisances and mingle with the people at the watering places. There he 1 seo love-insking and match-making, dancing and flirtings dissipation and gojoyment. ‘The intrigues ‘and manceuvids of anxions mammas will amuse him after his experience of intrigues and mancenvres of anxious office seekers. The goverament contractors will appear to him fn & new light, reflected from the diamonds with which they will be emblazoned.» The President ‘and all his constituents may learn more useful and entertaining knowledge at the watering places this summer than ever diffusive societies or loyal leagues propagated, and will return to their labors in the fall wiser, if not better, men. ¢ NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. Warmixaton, April 20, 1865. RECONNOISSANCE 10 WARRENTON, VA. At inst accounts all was quiet in frent of Washington, at Fairfax Court House and in that vicleity. An expedt- tton under Col. Deforrest, comprising the Third brigade of General Stahei's corps, has just returned from & recopoiasance to Warrenton and Rappabannock station. No enemy was found. One company of cavalry—Black Horse—was heard of. The intention of the rebels in the vicinity of Fairfax Court House is to send south of the Rappahanneck all their vataxbies, for fear of retaliation upon them by the fedorals for outrages: committed elsowhere by rebets. The residents of Mid- | @lebury and that neighborhood have petitioned the redel Congress to remove Binsby nnd his gang to some other duty, as his depredations call down on them the ‘vengeance of the federals.

Armed ‘Creason in Indiana. INDIANAPOLIS, April 20, 1863. Forces sent to Danville last night report nll quiet to- day. Several arrests of armed mew have been made. It is reported that another Union man was killed in Brown county yesterday by jnyhawkers. Prosser has beoa removed to bie residence at George brilliant on record. The experiences of every | day confirm this prediction. The war has made hundreds of people suddenly rich, and newly rich people generally spend money freely. There is no torm of fashionable extravagance | which is not now indulged to a surprising ex- tent. India shawls and velvet cloaks are more common than calico. riage, and many people keep half a dozen car. riages. Diamonds of the first water sparkle in | ears accustomed only to plain gold, and very little of that, or glitter upon fingers formerly unused to kid gloves and jewelry. The'Opera closed last evening with the favorite Mazzoleni’s splendid benefit, and, if we except the prome- nage on Broadway and the drives in the Park, there will be no opportunity for our feshionables, old and new, to display their fine featbers until Maretzek resumes operations or the watering place season begins. Both events. are most anxiously anticipated. The landlords of summer hotels are tmking time by the forelock, and wisely preparing for a crowd of visitors. Ad- | yertisements: for summer board and summer boarders already appear in the Henaty. There seems to be a general disposition to begin the season early and make it gayer than ever be- fore. The war rather promotes than checks this disposition. Pater familias no longer shakes his head gloomily and taps his pocket signifi- eantly when watering places are mentioned. Shoddy, gun contracts, ship charters ér govern- ment jobs of some kind have enriched bim, and | he laughs at the expense. Mater familias and the daughters will do just a» they please this ear. Such toilets as the fushionable haunts will exhibit surpass all prophecy. Miss Flora McFlimsey will outshine herself. Fifth ave- nue will emigrate bodily and sojourn in the country or by the seaside, and all the world | will follow, as usual, where Fifth avenue leads. Of all the “fashionable” watering places, Sara- togn, Newport aud Long Branch will probably be the most-crowded, and Sharon Springs the Wast.
