Farther details of thedate reconnoissance from the Army of the Potomae to Morton's Ford would show that our loss was considerable, that we lost ®#ome pontoons on the Rapidan, and that a portion of our force was compelled to cut its way through ‘the enemy's lines above the ford where the ca- valry had intercepted them; but no confirmation of these stories had reached the War Department yesterday. It is said that when our troops pushed &cross at Germanna Ford they found the rebel rifle pits in that vicinity occupied by but twenty- five pickets, who threw down their arms and Burrendered, stating that there was no rebel e within ten miles of their position. Imm ly after our forces push®d ahead in the Girection of Orange Court House, but had hardly progressed two miles before they were opened upon, but the rebels were driven from their posi- tion with some’ loss. The mass our infantry then recrossed the Rapidan, leaving a force to hold the rifle pits. Heavy firing is said to have eon heard on Monday, and it was believed about Culpepper that our cavalry was then engaged with ‘the enemy. ' Reports were prevalent at Chattanooga the day before, yesterday that a wide spread mutiny ex- isted in the rebel army; but the particulars of (puch an emute, if it exists, are not furnished. De- Berters, hOwever, continue to come in as usual. The news fromthe Southwest is important. Re- fugees from Texas report a fearful state of affairs existing there, and the whole country beyond the febel army is a perfect battle field, where engage- ments between deserters and guerillas are: fre- quent, in which the former are generally successful. ‘The steamer William Wallace, with the Twenty- - Girst Missouri regiment on board, while passing Island No. 71 on the 28th ultimo, was fired upon by guerillas from the Mississippi shore. Nearly ne hundred shots were fired during ten minutes. (Three of our mep were killed and four wounded. i Our news from the South,to-day, as contained in the rebel papers, is somewhat interesting. Wespatches from Mobile om the 6th inst. to the Richmond Examiner state that the Union forces, joonsisting of six regiments of infantry, two of ‘avalry and two batteries, had crossed the Big Black the day previous. The people of Mobile were considerably excited on the occasion. The gumors circulated in this city yesterday of the capture of Mobile by our troops was not only a falschood, but a fraud, the nature of which is ‘explained in another column. It is also stated in Richmond that three brigades ‘of infantry, four regiments of cavalry and twelve pieces of artillery belonging to Gen. Butler's com- gmand had advanced on Saturday to within twelve iles of Richmond, crossing York River Railroad at Despatch Station, and driving in the rebel pickets at Botom's Bridge. ' The rebel news from Charleston is to the 7th. ‘The firing on the oity had ceased; but on the two revious days over one hundred and sixty shots were thrown from the Union batteries. A large fire, supposed tobe the hospitals of the Union troops, was observed at Folly Island on the 6th inst, CONGRESS. Among the subjects brought before the Senate yesterday was a bill introduced by Senator Sum- ner @@@ the repeal of all laws for the rendition of fugitive slaves; also a bill establishing perfect equality for colored persons in the United States courts. Mr. Sumner likewise introduced a se- ries of resolutions defining the powors of the government, and “declaring that it is necessary to atend the constitution so as to secure the ‘complete extirpation of slavery from the land. in this connection Mr. Anthony offered a joint resolution repealing 8 joint resolution tg amend fhe constitution, adopted Mar 2, 1862, ‘which was referred to the Judiciary Committee. The bill to encourage the enlistment of colored ‘troops was discussed by Mr. Carlile, of Virginia, nd after an executive session the Senate ad- Journed. In the House of Representatives, in Committee of the Whole, the consideration of the Enrolment bill was resumed. An amendment providing for the transfer of seamen in the military service to the navy was agreed to. It was also agreed that any drafted man who shall furnish an acceptable substitute not liable to draft shall be exempt for draft during the period of said substitute’s term of service. . THE LEGISLATURE. In the S@nate yesterday the Metropolitan Police bill—the one naming as Commissioners Messrs. Acton, Bergen, Purdy and Jones—was reported favorably. The bill authorizing the Delaw: nd Lackawanna Railroad Company to hold land in this State was passed. A bill amendatory of the Brooklyn city charter was introduced. Bills were moticed for the incorporation of the McClellan | Bocial Union of New York and the Manhattan | and Long Island Land Improvement Company, aud for other purposes. The greater portion of the Benate’s session was occupied, in Committee of the Whole, in the consideration of bills affect- | ing only the interests of special localities in the | rural districts. | In the Assembly a resolution was introduced in favor of an appropriation of twenty thousand dol- | lara to erect a monument in the Gettysburg Na- tional Cemetery to commemorate the New York soldiers buried there. The bill #mcorporating the | New York National Club, for the promotion of literature and the arts, was ordered to a third | reading. The Neptune Steamsbip Navigation Company bill reo8ived a favorable report. Bills’ were given notice of to incorporate the North River Warehousing Company and for.an increase | of the salary of the Clerk of Probate in this city. A large number of other bills were either intro- | duced, noticed or received some other attention; | but they were nearly all of only private or local interest. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. Our latest despatches from Nicaragua state that matters there are vary unsettled; that the Presi- dont, General Martinez, intends to resign the Pre- sidency immediately after the adjournment of Con- gress, which was to convene at Managua on the 15th ult, This contemplated act of the President, ft ip said, results from the upremitting hostility evinced by many influential parties in the repth- lic. General Martinez will resign the reins of power regretted by the majority of the people and by all who desire the advancement of the republic. ‘The cultivation of cotton is rapidly increasing, and is fant becoming an clement of prosperity to the oountry.

The Unioy Central Committee met at their head- quarters, 3 639 Broadway, last evening, Hon. Rufus F. Andrews, President, in the chair. The principal business transacted was the adoption of an address setting forth that the object of the organization was to bring together all friends of the Union, irrespective of party politics; that the present is not the time for the selection of candi- dates for the Presidency, and enjoining upon all citizens the importance of using every means in their power to raise the five hundred thousand volunteers demanded by the President. All friends of the Union throughout the State were invited to join them for that purpose. The Councilmen met at one o'clock yesterday. A resolution was adopted appointing Measra. Brice, Keenan, Houghtalin, McGrath and Gross a special committee of five to make suitable prepa- rations for the celebration of Washington's Birth- day. A petition, numerously signed by the pro- perty owners of the Eleventh, Seventeé@nth and Eighteenth wards, was presented, praying for the erection of a market on what is known as tl ‘Lowber property.’’ It was referred to the Com- mittee on Markets. A resolution was adopted directing the Finance Committee to prepare a suitable memorial for presentation to Congress, praying for the payment to the Corporation of the city of New York gf the balance of the principal and interest due on account of the sum of one million of dollars advanced for the equipment and transportation of volunteers under the ordinance of April 23, 1861. The reso- lution appointing an additional number of commia- sioners of deeds¥was adopted over the Mayor's veto. The Volunteer Family Aid ordinance, from the other Board, was cortcurred in, This is ordi- nance number eight, and will make a total of four millions of dollars alroady appropriated for this purpose. The Mayor vetoed a resolution-to trans- fer the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars of the appropriatton for city contingencies to be expended inreceiving returning regiments, on the ground that it had not been recomménded by the Comptroller. The communication was accompanicd by a resolu- tion, in which"the Comptroller recommended that the sum of fifteen thousand dollars be transferred from the appropriation for Russ pavement im- provement for the above mentioned purpose, and if an additional sum be required they shall peti- tion the State Legislature for authority to raise it by taxation or otherwise. The resolution was adopted, and.the Board adjouraed until Thursday next, at one o'clock. Mr. Luthor C. Tibbetts, a produce broker, visited the Corn Exchange yesterday; but, as he had on previous occasions abused his associates in a shocking manner, the janitor refused him ad- mission, Tibbetts thereupon drew a dirk knife and forced an entrance, and, flourishing his wea- pon, again commenced abusing the gentlemen present, charging them with cheating. Policeman Bessmer was summoned, when Tibbetts furiously attacked the officer, and stabbed him in three places. Another policeman came to the assistance of his comrade, and Tibbetts was secured and conveyed to the Tombs, where he was committed to prison to await the result of the wounded man’s injuries. It is supposed that Tibbetts is laboring under aberration.of mind, caused by unfortunate business operations. officer Alexander Carmichael on a charge of hav- ing attempted to pass a counterfeit twenty dollar Treasury bill, changed from a two,en Thomas Reid, keeper of an oyster saloon, 357 Bowery. McViney’a design was at once detected, and he begged off.

Surrogate Tucker yeaterday proceeded with the testimony in relation to the will of the late Mrs. Susan Cross. The accounts of the estate of Hugh Lee, deceased, were finally settled. Galignani’s Messenger, of Paris, of the 23d of Jannary says:—The Drome, transport, which is about to leave Cherbourg for Mexico, will garry out, among other passengers, M. de la Pena, a superior Mexican officer, who has made his sub- mission and returns to his country, and the noted Tristany, one of the chiefs of the legitimist bands of Naples, who goes to serve in the ranks of the Mexican auxiliary troops. The buoyancy in the stock market continued yeater- day, and prices for nearly ali the railroad shares again advanced. The continued rise in prices is caused by the additions which are being made to the volume of cur- rency in the shape of interest-bearing legal tender notes and the bills of the new patioval banks. Gold was struck down one per cent yesterdxy morning by a false an- | nouncement of the taking of Mobile; but it soon recoverea and became quite firm. Government securities are strong; but they do not participate in the general rise which is now going on in other descriptions of stocks. ‘The bigher price of gold imparted a greater degree of firmness to the market for most kinds of tmported mer chandise yesterday ; yet there was but little business. The firmness in many articles restricted sales; but thero was not much disposition to operate on the part of either ‘Duyers or sellers.

Freighte were without especial change Tue Waiskey Tax 1x Coxoness.—The tax | which the House of Representatives put upon whiskey in store having been removed by the | Senate, it becomes an interesting question whether the action of the House or the Senate will prevail. The parties desirous of exempt- ing whiskey in store from the new tax are the parties concerned in the prospective profits of that whiskey; and that they constitute a pow- erful body of lobby jobbers there can be no doubt. We have reason to suspect that the venerable Thurlow Weed, if so inclined, could give some very curious “statis- tics’ on this subject of the storage of whiskey in anticipation of an increased tax, from which such whiskey would be exempted. At all events, Hon. Fernando Wood’s proposi- tion to include“ such whiskey under the new tax, though it may disappoint « considerable number of whiskey speculators, is demanded by justice to the people at large, and by all means the House should adhere to that amend. ment, and compel these whiskey jobbers and their lobbymen to fork over the tax, with alf the rest of the community. We want no dis- criminstions in this business of taxation, even to Bll the pockets of whiskey speculators, Tne Presidency the Slavery Ques- tion—TRe Cauldron Beginning to@otl. The hints which we bave thrown out in reference to the opportunity now presented, and the expediency and necessity of an amend- ment of the constitution providing for the complete and permanent abolition of slavery throughout the United States, appear to be running like wildfire among the politicians of all parties. Mr. Senator Sumner, for instance, abandon- ing his original disorganizing and destructive programme, involving the reduction of the rebellious States to the condition of one vast wild territory,thas just oome out with the em- phatic declaration. that no half-way tinkering devices for the removal of slavery will avail, but that “the constitution itself must be 80 amended as to prohibit slavery everywhere within the limits of the republic—placing ani- versal omancipation under the sanction of the constitution—so that freedom shall be engraved on every foot of the national soil.” This is an important step in the right direction on the part of Senator Sumner. In returning to the ark of the constitution we are disposed to give him all the benefits of President Lincoln's amnesty. But, again, it appears that at an emancipa- tion meeting in Washington the other night, that distingulshed conservative leader of Mary- land, Senator Reverdy Jobuson, “not. only de- nounced slavery as the cause of the rebellion, but declared that the ‘constitution must be so amended as to remove all national recognition of the evil.” Verily we are in the midst of a mighty revolution when such hitherto antago- nistio bodies as Charles Sumner apd Roverdy Johnson are found revolving in harmony around that great central light, the New Yorg Hera, aa the planets of our system revolve around the sun. But the best is yet to coma. The Washington correspondent of an evening contemporary as- sures us that “this creed (the amendment of the constitution suggested) will be religiously adhered to by the radical wing of the republican party in the coming Presidential contest;” that “it will be substantially embodied in the plat- form of a convention which is to assemble at Louisville on the 22d instant,” and that that “convention will nominate Gen. Fremont, who will not accept a foreign mission; and neither will he withdraw in favor of President Lincoln under any circumstances.” But the General will give way to any other candidate occupy- ing the platform of the proposed amendment of the constitution, against tho impracticable and inconsistent schemes and crotchets of Mr. Lin- colo. This simply means that there is an “irrepres sible conflict” between the republican radicals and “Old Abe,” growing out of his policy of tinkering slavery out of existence in Arkansas, for example, while warming and nursing it into life again in Kentucky, and that Cen. Fremont is the man to kiN him off, Nor’ can we doubt the disposition of Fremont to do this thing, if wo look carefully over the cir- cumstances resulting ia tae revocation of his Missouri emancipation édiot and- bis removal from his military command in the West, and the appointment of Gea. Pope over his Bead in Virginia. General Fremont, however, will give way to General Grant, if brought forward on the HeERatco constitutional platform; and this im- portant fact should be sufficient to indyce the friends of General Grant to bring him out formally before the people on the 22d of Feb- ruary, the day appointed by Simeon Draper for a general movement of the shoddy republicans in behalf of President Lincoln, and the day set apart for this Fremont anti-Lincoln conven- tion at Louisville. “black spirits and white, blue spirits anf gray,” The spirits are at work, and the cauldton is begioning to “oil aud bubble.” Tor Boove Carrore ov MosiLe—Stoce Gam- Bring News.—At an early hour yesterday Wall street was precipitated into a small excitement by the appearance of the annexed bogus extra, purporting to come from this office:— EXTRA. NEW YORK HERALD. FROM NEW ORLEANS. TWO DAYS LATER. CAPTURE OF a 8,000 PRISO! 130 CANNON 400,000 BALES OF COTTON. Wasmvaron, Fob. 6, 1864. gaan highly important despatch bas been re- caived: — Fob. 1, 1864. yr General Hatiacn, Generai-in-Ca' Saturday, the 30th of January, yy light, @ com- bined attack was made by Admiral Ferrages and the forces under my command upon this city, which, after sustaining a bombardment for sixteen pours, and ‘peing partially consumed by fire; was carried at midnight oF assaclt. I regret to add our losses are severe @ im- portance of our victory ia beyond my immediate appre- ciation, W@have taken about 8,000 prisoners, 130 can- 0g, and about 400,000 bales of cotton. N. P. BANKS, Maj, Gen, Com. This document was announced in the vo- ciferous way in which extras are usually an- nounced by the newsboys, and was so far natu- ral. Therefore it sold readily, and had some affect on the market. But the whole excite- ment was cut short by the arrest, at our in- stance, of the newsboys engaged in this fraud upon the public. Sergeant Matthew and officer Healy, of the Second preeinct, were commend- ably active in this matter. This is a fair illustration of the manner in which @ certain part of Wall street manages its little game. Once or twice in times of excite- ment extras have been palmed upon the pub- lic by disreputable persons who proposed to make money by the sale of the copies of their issue. But the present is a different case; for the boys all agreed that the extras were given to them by a man whom they met in the street. This circumstance also renders it more diffloult to trace the swindle. This mysterious fellow, who met the boys by Trinity church and gave them the papers, proposed to make his little piece of business pay through its effect on the gold market. It did let the price of gold dowa one per cent; but, as the hoax was 80 soon exposed, it is doubtful whether its originator realized bis expected profit by it. Nearly all the startling pieces of bogus in- telligénce that prove to be false originate in the same way. Several notorious pieces of Philadelphia néws thus started from the estab- lishments of operators in government stocks in that city. The well remembered “news” of the death of Jeff. Davis, and, more recently, the disaster to the iron-clads in Charleston harbor, which purported to come from a Rich- mond paper, originated with the operators in gold on Wail st street, ! Tax New Pouce Cov Cowmission—A Rweovtar Muppie.—One of the party organs takes exception to our criticisms of Biljah F. Purdy’s aspirations, and expresses a pre- ference for him as Police Commissioner, Moni. | (hough endorsing the qualigcationg of Messrs. Byeworth. Mr. Purdy is now & Supervisor, with @ salary equal to that of Police Commissioner, No doubt it would be agreeable to him to have his salary doubled. Mr. Purdy parades as a war democrat; yet his sone are all holding office under the city gov- ernment instead of being in the army, and serv- ing their country as the sons of a “War Horse” should de. As to Mr. Jones, heretofore he bas only been beard of as an unsuccessful aspirant for nominations, now at Tammany and now at Mozart. , That is the occult reason which at this present moment induces the Tammany clique to urge bim 80 persistently. Is there a cat in this bag of meal? As to Messrs. MoMurray and Bosworth, we do not know if they claim to be “war horses” or not; but we do know that Captain McMurray entered the army at the commencement of the war, with the sanction of his brother, and that be has been doing duty ever since, and is now at Knoxville, Tennessee. Judge Bos- worth has also given a son to bis country. We do not believe that such considerations have any weight with the Tammany ring; but we are free to say that to our mind the mea who send their sons and brothers to the army are better “war horses” than those who put their sons into offices and olerkships at home. Bat, apart from personal considerations, if a compromise bill is to be passed, it ls right that Gov. Seymour should name the democrats. We have favored the names of Messrs. Acton and Bergen, on account of their experience; but if these gentlemen are named by the repablicans, and others than those desired by Governor Seymour are placed in the bill, we think that a veto would be demanded as imperative upon him. This, after all, is what a certain set are aiming at, It is a muddle now, ead they wish to keep it a muddle. Musical.

Monpar, Feb. 8—6 BP: M. The buoyancy which pervaded stocks at the close of last week was manifested again this mora- ing, and the market took another upward move. As compared with the sales at the first board om Saturday, New York Central rose 4, Enie 1, Erie preferred 1, Hudson River 194, Michigan Southerm 14, Alton and Terre Haute %, Illinois Central 4, Cleveland and Pittsburg ?4, Galena and Chicago 1, Milwaukee and Prairie du Chien 2%4—making a rise of ten per.cent since Friday last; Toledo and Wee bash 2, and Chicago and Alton 114. Reading de- clined 4, Michigan Central %, Cleveland and Toledo 44, and Chicago and Rock Island 23%. It will be recollected that the last named stock about, four weeks since was manipulated by the bull clique and rum up in the course of twelve days from 12¥ to 160; it is now selling for 139, and has a downward tendency, while the shares of nearly all the other Western roads are advancing in price. The corner was adroitly made, and outsiders suffered. The market continued firm in the af.ernoon, and con- siderable excitement was manifested over the rise in Erie, Hudson River and Cumberland Coal. The closing quotations were:—For New York Central 133%, Hudson River 146%, Erie 113%, Harlem 103, Illinois Central 13134, Cleveland and Pitte- burg 115%, Michigan Central 136%, Reading 118%, and Cumberland Coal 54%—a rise of 3% Per cent since Saturday. Sterling exchange was quoted at 174%. The Secretary of the Treasury continues to pay out his interest-bearing legal tender notes, of which he had at the start four hundred millions, and he is also supplying the new national banks with their bills as fast as they can be printed. From these two sources, the former of which is. of course the most formidable at present, and may be properly termed auxiliary to the circulating medium, the currency is rapidly becoming inflated, and augmented prices are the natural sequence. Mr. Chase has a double object in this movement. In the first place he is largely behind in his pay- ments—say one hundred millions—and his only” available means in the present condition of the national finances are the five per cent Treasury notes. In ‘the second place, necessity will soon compel him to place upon the market his nine hundred millions of ten-forty bonds, and, in order to keep them at par nominally, he must first ple- thorize the money market and force capitalists to seck government securities for the investment of their surplus funds. In this the Secretary will no doubt succeed; but while doing so he is stimulating the wildest spirit of speculation, and di- rectly into the hands of stockjobbers, gamblers in gold and army contractors. He is also augmenting the prices of all the necessaries of life, reducing the value of the wages of labor, and putting off still further the day of his promised retern to the specie basis. The public have noticed this movement, and the vicinity of Wall street is now daily crowded with strange faces. Outsiders are pressing on the rising market, eager to invest in stocks, in anticipation of largely ad- vanced prices, and the indications at present are , that their hopes and opinions will, for some tim @ hence, correspond with the movements. Go'/@ also will be touched by the inflation and conti: ane to rise; but as it has become to so great an ¢: stent an article of merchandise it is often influenced by other cfuses; and, although its advancement! m price may not be so rapid as the upward pro'gress of stocks, it will nevertheless be quite @, certain. Fortunes can sow be made with eas 4; but the sagacious only will retain them; for w'Aen the day of reckoning comes the ¢rash will be eweeping. ‘The stock gamblers’ extra, which purported to have been issued from this offic, containing a despatch from General Banks ‘announcing the taking of Mobile, had an effect of the price of gold this morning to the extent of/one per cent; but the swindle soon became kn¢jwn, and the opening rates wore re-established. ‘he aieeheres the AS dal Ste “i ie" et Agpexed Fre tho tatals of all the weekly state, ‘ ‘
