Upon General Grant there now concentrates the deepest interest with which the worid ever watched the actions of any single soldier He id the forempat-maa in the greatest contest of the age. He has the sympatby and support of a free and powerful people, and the countenance and confidence of all the members of both houses of Congress—excepting, perbaps, the eighteen peace men—and the administration, whatever may be its sentiments, dare not op Pose him otherwise than covertly. We are now, therefore, at that point whieh must be reached in all great wara before the war cao 0 forward with irresistible force to the accom- plishmeat of its purpose—we have found our hero. After years wasted in badly directed efforts, Achilles bas taken up the lance; after the fall of a hecatomb of generals our Scipio has come; and in the third year of the war we bave found something very like a “Little Corsi- oan.’’ From this point, therefore, if we can but start anew now, the question of the conduct of the war isa very plain one. We are simply to advance a tremendous force. in the best pos- sible way, against the enemy’s capital, and the preponderance of power ie ao greatly in our favor that it would seem’ as if success must be certain. Yet a single error may be fatal; and thus the responsibility of the leader is a terri- ble one. He should be happy to die on the field where he fails. . Upon the campaign that we are about to en- gage in there depends the greatest issues upon which mea ever went into battle. We fight for the principles of free government, and for the existence of a nation whose institutions are the hope of the downtrodden people of overy land. Our success in this campaign must in- sure the integrity of the United States by the final overthrow of the rebellion. With Lee beaten and Richmond ia our bands, the rebels will be definitively driven out of Virginia, Ten- nessee and North Carolina, and the Southern confederacy will be crowded into the cotton States, and reduced to such dimensions that no one can consider its final destruction as any more than a question of time. And the success that thus decides this great struggle in our favor—that will give a new life to our country, and a new faith in the stability of free governments to the world—wil! also decide a question that the politicians think quite as im- portant as any of these. It will determine the next Presidency as certainly as if the votes were counted. All the conventions and loyal league clubs and legislative votes, compared to the one great victory that we hope for, will be as contemptible in the eyes of the people as the wire-pullings that move Punch and Judy at acent show. Grant, if his great labors shall result in this final triumph for our arms, will receive the great reward of the Chief Magistracy beyond ali peradventuare. But if we fail in this campaign, that failure will be the greatest disaster in modern history. While it will not establish the exist- ence of the Southern confederacy, it’ will pro- tract still more this already desperate contest— put the end stillfurther away, and thus tend to ruin us financially, and throw us into a state of political anarchy from which it is hardly possible to conjecture how we may come out. In view of the terrible evils that may dow from such a failure it should be the universal resolve of every man in the country that nothing must be spared to insure the success of this cam- paign, since success is so desperately necessary. Mayor ae THER ON THE Revorw Tack.—Mayor Gunther has at last taken an honest step in the way of reform. He has made two similar at- tempts before—one of which was when he re- fused a good dinner at De!lmonico’s given by the Corporation on the Sth of Jamuary last, and the other when he moved in the matter of curtailing the tax levy of the city. But hehas now taken a step which will be amusing to some, while it will make the greatest possible stir among politicians and weak newspapers. Its character will be ascertained from the fol- lowing note and circular: ComPraoi.iar’s Orrick, New Yore, April 11, 1363. Sin—Your atteation is berewith called to a copy of a circular which bas bee addressed to this department by his Honor the Mayor. Yours, respecttuily, MATTHEW 1, BRENNAN, Comptroller.

GODFREY GUNTHER. We concur entirely with Mayor Guather ia this reform. We have had for some time thoughts of refusing altogether the Corporation printing. as we have once before. It has given us great trouble aad annoyance, and has been of no use or service. By the great advance in the price of printing paper, and our immense circulation, the extra paper required for the publication of these Corporation advertisements costs us the price we receive; indeed, from an actual estimate, we find that we shali save largely by not publishing the advertisements at all. We, therefore, heartily approve of this reform movement of Mayor Gunther. But what & weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth it will cause among the weak daily and weaker weekly papers that exist only upom public spoils. The World and the News, it is very likely, will soon give way, followed by those apologies for papers which, absolutely, are only used as the mouthpieces and little vindic- tive organs of @ few jobbing contractors and politicians who hang arouad the City Hall and other public buildings. All such papers will now have to fall back upon their own re- sources, or perish altogether. In the meantime we congratulate the readers of the Heratp that they will be no longer troubled with that m- mensity of trash called Corporation advertis- ing which we have heretofore published in our columns.

But what are the facta in the case? On the representations of Genera! Gillmore he was authorized by General Halleck, in September last, o undertake an expedition into Florida; but was required, meantime, to hold “securely the position already gained before Charleston.” On the 14th of January General Gillmore asked permission to establish, in view of an easy advance, @ certain depot in Fiorida, and for authority io relation to certain garrisons of colored’ troops. What next? On the 22d of January General Halleck wrote to General Gillmore that ‘the Secretary of War has left the whole matter eatirely to your judgment aod discretion;” but as for himself General Halleck disap- proved of these side expeditions; for, even if successful, he contended, “they merely absorb our troops ia garricon to ocoupy th: places captured, and have little or no influeace on the progress of the war.” This was the proper view of the subject; but General Gill- more, in reply, urged that this Florida ocoupa- tfon “would afford an.outlet for cotton, lumber and other products, prevent the rebels obtain- ing great supplies of beef,” &c., and would “inaugurate measures for the speedy restora- tion of Florida to her allegiance.” This projeot of restoration was news to Gen. Halleck; but from what quarter did General Gillmore get this idea? The President’s letter of January 13 to Genera! Gillmore furnishes the answer. In that letter the President says:— “J understand an effort is being le by some worthy gentlemen (they were unworthy cotton speculators, no doubt) to reconstruct a legal State government in Florida. Florida is in your department, and as it is not unlikely you may be there in person, I have given Mr. Hay « commission of major, and sent him to you with some blank books aud other blaoks, and also my general wishes on the subject.” Mr. lincoln, in fact, was completely carried away with this idea of reconstruction; for he further says ia this letter, “I wish the thing done in the most speedy way possible’’ (he wanted Florida, we guess, to be restored in time to vote in the Baltimore Convention), ‘so that when done it lie within the range of the late proclamation on the subject.” Of course General Giilmore proceeded at once to carry out the President’s wishes, and io the same view it is not to be wondered at that General Seymour permitted his zeal to outrun his discretion. The President wanted Florida restored “in the most speedy way possible;” and General Seymour doubtless concluded that the speediest way was forthwith to whip the rebels out of the State. He tried it, and sig- nally failed; but the responsibility in this mat- ter, we contend, belongs to President Lincoln. It was his enterprise, and such a pet project with him. too, that he kept ita secret from General Halleck, for fear that he would spoil it. hat letter of January 13, and the other letters referred to on this subject, fix the.re- sponsibility upon the President. This Florida Jiasco is one more added to his budget of mili- tary blunders, by official proofs: Free Spebca.—All the republican papers in this region are in favor of free speech, and against the project of Speaker Colfax to expel a member of the House for words spoken in debate. Speaker Colfax and his supporters have committed a blunder.

The Battie of I-u-k-a. Ta our edition of the 2d of April we published General Grant's report of the battle of |.u ka. The report, as we Pubiished it, was copied trom the Chicago Tribune. Oar attention was called bya gentleman of this city who was present at the investment of I-uk-a to what he thought a singular omission in the published report, and we have succeeded im getting a correct copy of the Fepert, and flod that tue statement in regard to the omis- sioa was correct. 1a the report, as published in the Chicago Pbun copied in our paper, were the following paragraphs ‘Soon alter despatchiog Geo. Grd,word was brought by One of my atatl, ol, Hillyer, that the enemy were in full retreat. I immediately proceeded to I-u ka and found that the enemy bad teft during the night, taking everything with them except their wounded and the artillery cap- tured by them the evening before, going south by the Fulton road. Geuerais Staniey and Hamilton were in pur- suit ‘This was the first knew of the, Fulton road. With it ocenpied, no route would have “beeu left them except east. with the diificu!s bottom of Bear creek to cross, or northeast, with the Tennessee river in their front, or to conquer their way out, ‘The tast paragraph of the above, in the correct copy of the report, now before us, reads as follows:— ‘Ibis was the first | koew of the Fulton road being left open to ihe enemy for hie escape, ke. } We are not prepared to say that the omission was in- tentional; but we do say that it was very remarkable. The context of the report would show the intelligeot reader that there must have been some mistake im Grant's stating his ignorance of the Fulton road. But the omission relieves the report of the delicate but severe accountability to which Grant holds Rosecrans (or the non-occupancy of the Fulton road, This report of Geoera! Grant, although fied in the War Department more than a year and a half before, was not published until called for by Congress, The country never before had an opportunity 10 know who was re- sponsible for the escape of Price. A careful perusal of this report shows conclusively that ¢ be failure to destroy or capture Price’s army at I-u-k a regulted from two causes. — Pirst—The failure of Rosecrans to bring up bis forces at the time appointed. This Rosecrans accounts for by ating that “‘Stanley’s division’ (of his, Rosecrans’, army) ‘‘was detained by falling in the rear of Ross through fauit of guide.’’ road, as he had beea ordered by Grant to do, and tn his dt Second—The failure of Rosecrans to occupy the Fulton Inst despatch previous to the fight assured Grant he would do. General Grant states tn his report: — Goneral Rosecrans, at his suggestion, acquiesced In by me, was to move northward from his eastera march in two columns. One, uadergGea. Hamill up the Fulton and Eastport road; the ley, on the Jacinto road from Barnet ‘3. General Rosecrans, in his despatch dated September 18, tho night before tho battle, assures Grant that he will “move ia on the Jaciato and Fulton roads, massing heavi. ly on the Fulton road, and erusbing in their left, cutting of their retreat castward.” Yet we find that Price moved out quietly on the Fulton road, on the night of the 19%h, taking with him his whole army, with all its artil- lery and transportation, without meeting even a Union , was to move under Stan- Picket to give notice of their retreat, r—This meat Court Cal Pato iter Sieg, the td ha i a wo ur orNO, B44, OOly 1196, 1188, 1140, ait 1170, 1690, 8, Parl Bees aa!

THE D&BATH IN THE HOUSE ON THE BEIOLUTION TO BXPEL MR. LONG. ‘The galleries of the House were again well filed to day, althougt not so densely crowded as yesterday and tags night. The interest in the Long case is subsiding, ang the impression ts becoming geaersi that it has ocoupled the attention of the House and the public about long eoough. There has been no excitement today, either upon the floor or in the guileries. fhe best speeches during the afternoon were those of Messrs. Green Clay Smith, of Kentucky, and Pendle- ton, of Obio, At half past four a recess was takem uotil six P.M. Au attempt was made to arrive at am understanding in regerd-to when a vote sould be takem; but certain of the opposition seem to wish to keep the allair up indednitely, i order to get od political specobes: which they bave bad oa band for some time without em opportunity to ventilate them, A vote will be demanded at baif-past twelve on Thursday, and several democrats bave already agreed to sustain it, 1a order to dispose of the subject and to enadle the House to proceed to legit mate public business. At the evening session of the House the galleries were again densely crowded. Mr Broomall, of Peunsytvania, offered a resolution of censure, aa a substitute for tae resolution of expulsion, it beiug evident that the latter could not obtain the requisite vote to carry it. ‘The attendance of members was not as good as iaa® eveaing. Mr. Winfleld, of New York, made a telling speech in defence of the war democracy, indignantly re padiating the statement of Fervando Wood that there was and could be no such thing a3 a war democracy, an@ favoring the vigorous prosecution of the war a3 the oaly means of restoring the Union and the supremacy of the constitution, Most of the speakers seemed to have loss sight of the subject under consideration and devotes themselves to making campaign speeches. During the speech of Mr. Grianeli, of Iowa, there wae covsiderable confusion, some of the opposition members attempting to interrupt bim—he not being a favorite with that side of the Houge on account of his combative dis- positron and style of bandlivg their pecular sentiments and policy. RXCITING DEBATE IN THE SENATE. The Senate to-day, as if somewhat chagrio%d at the exceeding vitality man#ested ia the House, staried am Opposition sensation, and for a fow moments promiee® to revive the scenes witnessed on its floor during the winters of 1360-61. The debate during the early part of the moroiog having beea very dull, the galleries were vacant, strecuigiing entirely absor bo& i the acrobatic performances in the House, It was n08 expeoted that, after Mr.. Powell's omphatic asservation that be was “kind and gentle” in bis disposition, he would so soon become belligerent; and his flerce personal: attack upon Senators, coupled with his denunciations of Now Bogland, took every one by surprise. He has beem assiduous {n his efforts to bring the subject of taxation before the Senate, aod doubtiess felt himself um- fairly dealt with in the demy of action upon kis Propositions; but no ope seems to be impressed, with the idea that any ovjections had been raised te bie amendments on personal grounds. His assaults upon the Fastern States are regarded as unnecessary and unjust} flable, and bis fire-eating manifestations have evidently dove bis cause much injury. The vote of the Senate upon the smendmont indicates the divi sion of opinion upon the subject, and there ie every reason to believe that at some carly day the Fishing Bounty system will be discussed e& length and modified in several important particulars, Some are apprehensive of a hostile meeting between Mr. Powell aod Mr, Chandler; but the probabilities are thas with reflection will come regret at the tll tempor die played to-day, and that the two Senators will, at their next interview, fraternize as if oblivious to the threatem~ yng demonstrations of this afternoon. ‘ COLLECTION OF TAXES IN INSURARCTIONART, TusTRICTS. ‘The roport of the Secretary of the Treasury, vent to the Senate to-day, concerning whe collection of taxes in in~ surrectionary districts, comtaias the following statie- tics — om Expenses paid for me a x} Sarveying, Padvertising, Ac Graua ‘total of expenditures, tocluding incidental é 46@ Taxes were collected from 110,093 acres of innd, of which 103,574 wore io South Carolina, Tho total receipte from sales of land, &c., amouut to $205,300.
