He was suddenly summoned from his visit to the army of the Potomac and hurried away West on account of secret intelligence received by the Secretary of War. For thi first time in the history of the war the War Department has received intelligence of the movements of the enemy upon which it has thought it necessary to act at once. By this fiction of a great necessity for his immediate presence in the West the Directory has, for the time, got rid of Grant. The first victory is theirs, though it isa contemptible one. With- out any change in the actual condition of af- ing he was cordially taken by the hand by some republican Senators, and Senator Sum- ner warmly hugged him. It may have been undignified and bearish, but the report has it that the Senator actually “hugged” him. The opposition to Lincoln among republicans in Congress is great. In the,/House the opposi- tion’is headed by Speaker Colfax, and in the Senate by Vice President Hamlin. In short, he is in a minority in both houses. ng the newspapers, it is true that a large number are out for him; but their influence does not amount to much. Several small State Le- gislatures and conventions, like those of has no more to do with an election in Arkansas than he has with one in New York city. And when be finds that a convention of the people is fixing a plan of its own, as it has an unques- tionable right to do, he has no business to inter- fere, much less to try “to yield his plan to theirs.” Monstrous concession! But he (Buns- by) has sent letters directing that General Steele shall be “master” of the situation. He might as well have ordered General Dix to have been master of the ballot-boxes in this city last Tuesday. Bunsby cannot appoint a master of such situations. The constitution of the United States is the only master that can If success be the test of merit, a regular audience of three thousand at the new horse theatre on Fourteenth street will satisfy the jury that the managers understand how to pleage the million, The ordinary performances of circus, with eome extraordinary additions, are here Presented in a neat and orderly manner; the spectators are comfortably seated; the clowns are funny and witty, without being goarse; there is no drag or hitch in the programme, it goes on smoothly and rapidly, from the beginning to the close, The most wonderful of ail the Performances ever witnessed at an amphitheatre in this country are those of the thoroughly drilled and disci- Plined dogs and monkeys of this establishment; 10 the ball and the steeple chase especially the achieve- ments of these learned monkeys and dogs are perfectly unique and eide aplitting. fin fact, an evening’s entertain- But Mr. Blunt and bis associates bave perser steadily and Unogtentatiously, ‘guarding well the rights soldier, and protecting ‘him from robbers, thieves he remained under the control of the Chairman, and thus gait the respect and con- fidence of the actual recruit, as well as all who desire to become so, and the community at large.

Generals Burnside, Smith, McCook and Crittenden were {n Washington yesterday.

All ts iat there. circumstance to prosecute the war as he thovght best. By a bold piece of strategy he they already sce, with any safety to their views, and hence this momentoys “secret in- telligence.” Grant, they perceive, is now in our history less a man than a power, and with a deep instinct of hostility they array them- selves on the other side and begin to act at once. Grant is indeed a power in our his- tory—just such a power as Scipio Africanus was in the history of Rome ; and for the par- ticular instruction of the Directory we may in- dicate some points of similarity in the histories of the two men. Scipio, at the commencement of his opera- tions against the Carthaginians in Spain, was ordered by the Roman administration not to have any plans of his own for the conduct of the war. He was bothered by all kinds of ad- ministrative {nterference—tied up by all manner of instructions—and was even ordered positively to carry out the plans of his prede- cessor, Cato. But Scipio had plans of his own, nevertheless; and as the theatre of war was far removed from Rome, he took advantage of that suddenly moved upon and attacked at once by land and water the prime stronghold of the enemy—a position of immense importance to them as a base that commanded a rich country and as a depot of stores and supplies. Though it was desperately defended and she was fe- peatedly repulsed, he carried the place by as- sault. He next defeated the enemy in two great and sanguinary battles in the open coun- try. Having now earned the right to do as he chose he was left alone; for the Ro- man Senate had some sense. As a consequence he eventually destroyed the Carthaginian power in the province, and reported to the Sen- ate in the temple of Bellona that there was no enemy in Spain. His appearance in the capi- ‘a! was the signal for the most enthusiastic de- istrations in his honor. He was received by the people as a man who had performed for his country the most extraordinary services, and he was appointed to the supreme command of the Roman armies. Naturally the people now re- garded him as the man who could drive the enemy out of the country in the immediate neighborhood of Rome as easily as he had driven them from Spain; and so great was the Executive an aspirant for the succession, and here is at least one member of his Cabinet an aspirant for the same position—rival candidates for the same prize. And while the friends of each are electioneering and engineering for their favorites, and the candidates themselves are pipelaying for their personal advantage, the interests of the government are unheeded, its safety jeopardized and the exercise of its functions nearly paralyzed. There was cause for calling General Grant to Washington; for it was necessary that some high-minded statesman and military man should be consulted, in order tosave the government from’the disgrace and demoralization fast creeping upon it by the squabbling between the Executive and mem- bers of his Cabinet for the possession of the public plunder for the next four years. Tax Wortp ov Fixance.—That pious, army porter, India rubber and stockjobbing organ, the World, is especially remarkable for fts sin- gular and funny financial atticles, which ap- pear to be written by a young student who is enjoying his vacation here, and who knows as much about finance as he does about gram- mar. The other day this schoolboy attempted to review the speech of the Hon. Mr. Stebbins upon the Gold bill, anda pretty mess he made of it. He rambled from St. Peter’s church at Rome to the Falls of Niagara; criticised the ora- tious of Demosthenes and the odes of Pindar; quoted poetry and a French critic; skipped from Burke to the Board of Brokers; dropped in at the French Academy; compared Secretary Chase and Samson; hauled up Erasmus, De Quincy and Judas Iscariot; referred to quack doctors and the Philistines; hitched together Sir Isaac Newton and General Taylor, and con- cluded with Virgil and Dryden. But what has all this display of sophomorical learning to do with the Gold bill or with Mr. Stebbing, who knew all about Wall street before this sthool- boy knew the alphabet? We advise Messrs. Barnard and Barlow, the owners of the World, to send this immature and premature writer back to his academy and employ a man to write their financial articles; and we advise the schoolboy in question to begin to study English grammar forthwith, as that part of his education seems to have been sadly neglected. him drink unless he chooses. But while General Steele is to be master, Bunsby, with an eye to windward, says “it is best for him to keep the Convention on its own plan.” “If so be as the ship’s gone down, why so; if so be as the ship’s not gone down, why so also.” But again, argues the astute Bunsby, “some single mind must be master,” and although the Con- vention is to be permitted to keep to its own plan, yet Gen. Steele, being on the ground, “is the best man to be that master.” The Conven- tion, according to this bob-logical conclusion, is therefore at liberty to do as it pleases, pro- vided it does just as General Steele pleases, who receives his orders from Bunsby in Wash- ington. But this wise and sapient edict con- cludes with a sentence of portentous signifi- cance:—“This discord must be silenced.” There it is, all in a nutshell. The command sounds like the order of the officer of the pit in the Bowery theatre when the boys get out of peanuts and become obstreperous. But the whole thing would be beneath serious attention did it not afford another evidence of the flagrant violation of constitutional authority which our Washing- ton Jack Bunsby is continually exhibiting in his officious intermeddling with military, politi- cal and other matters, concerning which he knows nothing, and which he never touches without committing blunders that cost oceans ot blood and mountains of treasure. . Tar Frortwa Disaster.—The republican pa- pers in Lincoln’s interest are now throwing the whole blame of the Florida blunder and defeat upon the shoulders of General Gillmore. At first General Seymour's shoulders were consid- ered broad enough to bear the burden; but General S. sank out of sight under the weight. But let them make it appear that either Gill- more or Seymour was responsible for the de- feat, the fact is not attempted to be disguised that neither the Secretary of War nor Major General Halleck was consulted about the mat- ter by the President, who ordered the expedi- tion to proceed. The War Department was or- ganized to give scientific atfd authoritative direction to army movements; and it is illegal for the President to undertake, warlike opera- tions without consulting the Department.

At the end of the pavilion known as the froat, there is one linen room, one kuapsack room, one ward- master’s room, and a doctor’s office. Each pavilion com- siste of one floor, at an elevation of sixteen foot, with e row of yeotilators on top—twenty four feet wide and twe hundred and thirty-eight feet long.
