Gers Another Descent upon Washing- ton and a Northern Insurrection. Our despatches from Nashville announce the evacuation of Atlanta, and its occupation by General Sherman’s irresistible army, The government, however, it must be said, had received no official information of the facet up to a iate hour last night, and the news mey possibly have come 6 little ahead of time.

But, in the probability of another movement, and this time by the bull of Lee’s army, upoa Washington, taere is great danger that all the labors and sacrifices and all the victories of Graut and Sherman and their brave and devoted soldiers may be blasted in & single overwhelming disaster. From the late dasing rebel raid into Mary- land Washington has had a very narrow asoapo. ‘The loss of that invaluable day entailed upoo the eremy by General Waliace, on the Mono- | cacy river, was the saving of the national capi- tal.

Nowe, from present appearances, but the vigilance of General Grant; but even be, on the south side of Petersburg, twenty inilos below Richmond, may be deceived, upon | another trial, by the preeautions of hie wily ed- versary. Supposing, then, that Washington is sur prised, captured and sacked by the enemy, in- cluding the capture or disporsion of the Presi- dent aud bis Cabinet, the destruction of the public buildings and archives, arsenal, navy yerd, commissary buildings, &c., and all their vost materials ef war and military stores, what would be the consequences in the North? Tho blow would fall with crushing effect upon the generous war sustaining classca of the ‘loyal States; but the restless and mischief-scheming copperhead peace agitators would seize the oc- casion for stirring up their adherents to arms and lighting the fires of a Northern in- surrection at @ hundred points ab once across the continent, Such are the fearful dangers which now menace the national cause—the dan- gers of a Successful rebel descent upon Wash- ington, with all the fearful consequences we have suggested, and all from the imbecility, incredulity, laziness and incompetency of the administration, as now organized, and its im- mediate military advisers, Will nothing but a rebel bombardment arouse Prezident Lincoln to a sense of bis insecurity ? Has it never occurred to him that in desperate extremities bold ‘and daring men are equal to the most desperate enterprises? Has it never been hinted to him that General Early in the late reid was only the pilot and pioneer of General Lee? Has he never sus- pected that such rebel peace emissaries a8 George Sanders and Company are only em- ployed as decoy ducks to lead him astray? Does he not know that the loyal North is full of dark censpirators, watching for the oppor- tunity te strike for a Reign of Terror? We do not know, but we would earnestly implore you, Mr. President, to believe that in all these things there is danger. How, then, are these perils tobe avoided? Not bya draft in Sep- tember, but by acapable and harmonious Cabi- net, ond by ® strong supporting army to Gen. Grant infront of Washingten at once. Give us an eflicient Cabinet, put General McClellan in command of the Department of Washington, and call fer three months volunteers to serve under him, to the extent of one hundred and fifty thousand men, and there will be no neces- sity for ® draft in September. Washington will soon be made secure against any contin- gency, General Grant will be enabled to make short work of Richmond, the war will speedily be ended, and the Presidential campaign will culminate in a blaze of glory to the Union and tie administration, In good faith and in all sincerity, ia behalf of the national cange, and in view of the ap- proval of tho admiuisiration by the people, we yet.once more ask the attention of Mr. Lincela to these reflectioas and these reforms, Rerorvs in THe, Treascry Deparrxent.—We nuderstand that great reforms are abeut being introduced into the Treasury Departuéut; aud there is certainly much necessity for something of the kind. Oxe need go no further than our own Custom House for evidence of this fact. The exposures of corraption aud peculation carried on there for the past two or three years are almost enough to sicken ene of our form of government. The courts have been busy with some of these cases, and some of the rascals have been punished. There are other cases now before the courts, aud there is a fair chance that in some degree these unscrnpulons peculators upon the government will not go unwhipped of justice. Late developmeats in Boston aad eleewhers fernish further evidence of the necessity of a sweeping reform in all the custom houses, navy agencies, internal revenue offices, and other branches of the Treasury Department in all parts of the cona- try—North and South, East and West, in the front, ia the centre and in the rear. Mr. Fee- Senden is expected to make @ cleaning out of all the corrupt agents in these impertant places, and” honest men are to fill their chairs. The work, it is supposed, will be commenced in New York Custom House with the rewoval of Mr. Barney from the office of Col- lector. Mr, Barney, #8 the chief, is respon- sible for the many gros® cases of corruption that; beve been ailowed to occur under bis eyes. Mr. Postmaster Wakeman will take Mr. Barney’s place. This work of re- form will be thoroughly carried out in Boeton, Phitedeiphis, Baltimore and other cities; and tha West will be held to a stricter accountabili- ty than heretofore for its returns under the In- ternal Reverne laws. Improper and incompe- tent revenue officers will be shown no mercy from this time hencoeforward. They will all be obliged to walk up to Mr. Fessenden’s office and equare their accounts. Millions are anau- ally lost to tho United States Treasury through the incompetency, laainess or corruption of government revenue officials, and the new Secretary of the Treasury is determined that euch practices shall be allowed ne longer. Lincoin is too busy about politics to attend to matters of fisance. He Knows nothing about finance, and very little about poli- ties; but all he does know he now puts into his political balance, and weighs out favors ac- cordingly. It is possible that when this great cleansing process is over Secretary Fessenden will iutrodace somo sound and practical finan- cial measure that will benefit the national ‘Treasury; and in the meantime every one will wish him unbounded success in his efforts to place the revenue agencies of every kind in the hands of competent, responsible and trust- worthy men. Lincolu rans the political ma- chine—Mr. Fessenden the financial. We shall see who will accomplish the most good for the country.

Cbevalter Forney, Seeretary-in-Chief of the Senate of the United States, is among those distinguished straagera. .We understand, he is about to embark for Eirope, to have a talk with Lord Palmersten, ‘Louls Napoleon and the Emperor Alexander of Russia in re- gard to recognition, Wo sdvise Chevalier Forney to take Colorado Jewett with him; but. if Jewett becomes aware of his departure such advice is unaecessary.

He knows bow to get before “tho presence” without the aid of equerries and seullions, Forney, although well posted in kitchen duties in a republic, knows nothing @bout the avenues to reach the cars and the noses of European royaliy. Jewett does. Jewett takes a'specimen of golé quarts in bis coattail pocket, and, once before the throne, he dazzles the eyes of the monarch and bis poor ministers by a display of his treasure; and when Jewett speaks every royal mouth waters. Forney need not, therefore, take any quatiz with bimj a pint of old Cognac will do, espe- cially if he meets Bomba, late of Naples, or or Louis Napoleon, after the cares Palmerston, of State are over.

Jackson, it is true, had his jokes; but they were practical ones,and told for ihe good of the Lincotn’s jokes aré vulgar, and tell to the damage of the nation.

Ever since the 1st of July the most strenuous efforts have been made by deputations from the trade and by individual members, both at Washiagton and New York, to remedy the mat- ter; but all to n0 purpose; and to-day it seems as far from settlement as ever, as no desire is evinced by qny one to facilitate things, When the new law was passed not the slightest pro- vision was made, nor the least instruction given to the officials here, as to how, when and where they were to conduct the export of tobacco under it. The reasons given by the latter are that no new forms have been issued, or bonded stores designated “by the Department,” the fact being that no one whatever can tell anything about what is to be done. Consequent- ly the trade must grin and bear it.
