General Grant yesterday iseued orders relieving Gon- @rai Sickles and placing General Canby in command of tho Second Military district, in accordance with the in- mractions of the President. The necessary orders rela- tive to the removal of Sheridan and the substitution of Hancock tm the Fifth district wil! probably be issued to- day. {a regard to the reported refusal of Grant to execute these orders of the President, it ‘has een ascertained that he protested strongly against thom, and suggested the probability that the General of the armies alone had such powers, but did not re- fuse his concurrence.

What are the leading characteristics of this age? This is a question to which many differ- ent yet appropriate answers might be given. We know only one answer which is at once distinctive and exaaustive. It is the age of the printing press, the steam engine and the elec- tric telegraph. We might put it in another form, and say it isan age in which all men think, some. with greater, some with less inten- sity; some to greater, some to less purpose; in which the thoughts of thinkers are common and public property, and in which the mys- terious and mighty forces of nature are yoked to the car of humanity. Men think now not in a corner, in a cell or in a cave, but in the eye and ear of the world. Thoughts are not now buried, as they once were, for centuries; they obtain prompt and immediate and universal publicity, and the principal agents in giving effec! to thought in modern times are printing, steam and electricity. These are at once the types and the means of human progress in the latter half of the nineteenth century. A natural and necessary result of this state of things is that everything is at once con- ducted on a more gigantic scale and brought to a more speedy issue. Witness onr late civil war. Witness Napoleon’s Italian campaign. Witness the recent siruggle in Germany. Questions which in former times it required ages to ripen now rush to maturity at once; and those which it took years to settle are settled in as many days. Compared with the gigantic struggles of modern times the wars of an earlier period degenerate into village rows; and a thiriy years’ war in any part of the world here modern forces are at work is no longer pos- sible. These thoughts are not without a certain value as applied to the situation both in the Old World and the New. Europe, at the pre- sent moment, is evidently on the eve of a great crisis. War may be spoken of as an almost absolute certainty. We know not what a day or an hour may bring forth. This we do know: that war, when it does break out, will be on a grander scale, and will be shorter, sharper and more decisive than anything which we have yet seen, Barope to-day is very different from Europe in the days of Wallenstcia, of the Great Frederick or even of the First Napoleon. The iron road and the puffing engine are every- where. Everywhere, too, is seen the electric wire, tremulous with passing thought. The rer fs TAUDUA YAGI Necessity ef Before ie the Treawry De- ; partment. "| The . National Intelligencer makes a gteat ‘over President Johnson, and endeavors to the impression that it is the especial and confidential organ of his administration. At the same time it is wholly in the interest of the ‘Treasury harpies, from whose money it derives its support, and is in reality the organ of Chase, McCulloch and the national banks. Ii is nothing more than « spy in the Presidential camp; and alihough Mr. Johnson seems ig- norant of the fact, it is hostile to-him and is one of his most insidious and dangerous enemies. The removal of McCulloch from the Treasury Department is absolutely necessary to the al- vation of the government. He is nothing more than the successor of the policy of Chase, and carries on the Department in the same old rut dug out by his predecessor, his object being to secure the election of Chase and the permanent establishment of the national banks as a political power in the government. No greater mis- fortune could befall the country. If we would fully establish our credit at home and abroad, and prepare the way for the payment at the proper time of our national debt, it is abso- lately necessary that we should clear away all the suspicions now attaching to the Treasury Department, and satisfy the people that our financial system rests upon a secure, sound and honest basis. The retention of McCulloch, to be followed by the‘ election of Chase, would defeat this object and prevent any investiga- tion into the past administration of the Depart- ment. ‘The country was never in a more prosperous condition than at the present moment. Our last financial exhibit from Washington shows that we have over one hundred millions in gold and over fifty millions in currency in ihe Treasury, and that the revenue is coming in at the rate of eight or ten millions a week. The crops are heavy all over the country, and will serve to enliven trade and to materially in- crease our income and our wealth. We can pay our war debt in less than fifteen years, without overtaxing the country, if we have a properly organized, efficient and honest financial department. But in order to do so, and to keep up the credit of our bonds, we must have a complete clearing out of the present Treasury forces, who are merely the hangers on and heirs of the old Chase régime, with all its gross corruption, incapacity and indecency. Pafing by the Cable. The agents of tho Associated Press in Europe have undertaken to forward, under the garb of news, to the New York journals, a series of undisguised, nauseous puffs of certain articles and implements of Anferican manufacture shown at the Paris Exhibition. By an inge- nious turn of “penny a line” Bohemian talent they seck to render their reporis palatable through the delusion that they form records of certain triumphs of American ingenuity and national progress in mechanics. We don’t want any more such stuff as this from any source, and will not publish such trash in the Henatp. “The healthy development of American art and useful appliance of American invention we have always encouraged ; but the prostitn- tion of science by the use of the Atlantic tele- graph for the purpose of puffing ceriain specu- lators, patentees, inventors, or “new” machines or other articles or implements meets our most decided repreli a. We may next be called on to notice the “talent” of some American counterfeiter, who uses photography so as to obtain the fac simile of a genuine bank bill, or the exertions of a coiner who gilds or silvers his base metal by means of galvanism. We are sorry to find that the pen and ink correspondents of the press in Paris are attempting to puff by mail. They had better adhere to the old fashioned honesty of their aystem and leave this work to the Associated Preas cable mon, Old Thad Stevens a Revotutionist. If any additional evidence were requisite to prove that Old Thad Stevens is a revolutionist, it would be supplied by his letter published in yesterday's Hxnatn. [In this letter he openly avows himself as a revolutiontst{by declaring that’he and his sympathizers Tn Congress were ali acting outside of the constitution, which they had repudiated, “else our whole work of reconstruction,” he adds, “was usurpation.” railway car has supplanted the slow and wast- |[/fhad Stevens is, in fact, the Robespierre of the ing march; and whet was done by the tardy messenger is now done by the swift and well trained lightning. Europe, therefore, may have greater, but she cannot have such lasting wars. The same forces which have revolutionized Europe are at work here. They have already placed us in the front rank of the nations, and the time is not distant when, directed by Anglo-Saxon skill, they will give us the com- mand of the entire American continent Mexico will come in and extend our borders to the South. Canada will come in with its Anglo-Soxon energy and increase at once our territory and the vital forces of the Union. Spain must look out, for Cuba, already ours by electric contact, must soon be ours in fact. The West Indies and the South American States will follow; nor will there be any halting in this triumphal career until the entire continent is sheltered beneath the folds of the Star Spangled Banner. Is this mighty people—the possessors of so much power, the destined in- heritors of so much fame and power—to be subjected in their onward march to the control of the negro? It must not be. The Negre ta Europe. Lloyd Garrison is not content with all that has been done for and accomplished with the negro in the United States, where he bas sud- denly attained almost a supremacy in political rule, but continues to exhibit a “number of distinguished” colored gentlemen on the plat- forms of anti-slavery conferences in Paris and Manchester. These atiempts to keep alive a sort of sickly sentimentalism in foreign coun- tries in behalf of the American negro are mere folly. There are, to be sure, a few old Indies‘ in England who recollect the exciting days when they took thelr knitting needles and cotton yarn to Exeter Hall and looked inicrest- ing as they dozed and went to sleep over the wrongs and rights of Africa ; but even in those days Lord Brougham refused to meet the negro as “aman and a brother,” and we doubt if Lioyd Garrison can now induce the venerable peer to regard him asan equal if not his superior.

He has adopted the plan of the Jacobin party which Robespierre led to condemn the King and demand his death. Robespierre declined his nomination as presiding judge of the revo- lutionary tribunal which he caused to be organized “for the summary trial of the ene- mies of liberty ;” and Thad Stevens, although from different motives, opposed the impeach- ment of President Johnson. After the execn- tion of the King, Robespierre proposed the decree investing the revolutionary tribunal “with executive powers above the Convention.” He was elected a member of what was called the committee of general security, an auxiliary of the committee of public safety. Thad Stevens did his best to transfer the executive authority from the President of the United States to Congress, and was the soul of the Reconstraction Committee, to which the policy of Congress is due. He would fain have made that committee the ruling power of the land. Briefly, be is the American Robespierre. But he isa clever Robespierre,a witty and good tempered Robespicrre, a Robespierre that we can get along with, despite his pet theory of “a mild confiscation,” far better than with such a Robespierre as either Wendell Phillips or Greeley or Sumner would make. We are giad to hear that he has recovered sufficiently from his recent illness to undertake a tour to the upper lakes. We don’t want him to die for at least five years yet to come. Let him return to Congress invigorated in health, to “fight it ont” on his own peculiar line, and see to what result his pet theories will lead him and his colleagues of the revolutionary party. We shall see if he will yet force “the man at the other end of the avenue” to quit the White House] reopen his toilor’s shop in Tennessee, and make suits of clothes for new Presidential candidates.

We again present to our readers full and interesting particulars of the political contest waged for the control of our municipal gov- erament and for unrestrained power over the city treasury. The party which has so long shamelessly and defiantly squandered the people’s money is, at length, through the ex- clusiveness, and rapacity of a clique, headed by Mayor Hoffman, Sweeny, Tweed & Co., in the last throes of diagolution. It does not require the spear of Ithuriel, nor even the dagger of Jack the Giant Killer, to slay ihe whole fell brood who have so long fattened on the public treasury. The people have but to waken up to the danger of the hour, and, shaking off the apathy which has so long en- chained them, rally to the polls in November and December next, and by their votes con- sign to oblivion the last remnant of the corrupt party that still struggles for an existence. The citizens of New York will be more than derelict to their duty if they fail in this crisis. There never was such an oppor- tunity presented for cleansing out the Augean stable in the City Hall, which so stinks in the nostrils of all honest and upright men. There is an irreconcilable feud raging in the enemy’s camp. Like hungry hounds they are snarling and quarrelling over the spoils, Here the old axiom may well be applied, when rogues fall out honest men come tetheir own. Among the candidates suggested to the citizens of New York for Mayor is one who stands out prominently in the light of an honest, faithful and upright life, passed in our midst. Mr. John Anderson is known to the great bulk of our native born aad adopted citizens. His past successful ca- reer, without taint and without reproach, is a guarantee that in his hands the present dis- tracted affairs of our municipal government will be brought into order—that out of chaos and darkness would be evoked light and har- mony. The people have but to will this, and the end so long and so anxiously and yet so hopelessly desired will be attained. Increase of Prize Fighting in This Country. Ever since the highly respectable and fash- ionable voters of the Fifih Congressional dis- trict in this city sent a prize fighter to represent them in Congress the fistic art has become an institution in this country, and, among a certain class, a qualification for political honors. The decline of the prize ring in England at present contrasts strangely with its pernicious increase here, and a battered specimen of shoulder hit- ting chivalry from the other side is received in this city as a distinguished visitor or one iden- tified with the progress of the age. The papers teem with accounts of fights in which each combatant endeavors to destroy every vestige of humanity in his opponent’s face, and bene- fits are held even in our theatres for the pro- motion of this agreeable species of amusement. Some of the rising generation emulate ‘the glorious example of their fist beaten elders, and the neighboring shores of New Jersey and Long Island are infested with crowds of “roughs” escorting stripling champions to their trysting ground. Even the police, whom the laws appoint as guardians of the peace, are seized with the mania. Two stalwart Metropolitans were discovered a few days since by their sergeant making preparations for a fistic encounter accovding te tbe rules of the prize ring. When the police thus take part in this new, fashionable entert:inment, and mimic encounters illustrating the “noble ari” are permitted at picnics and before the footlights, its increase is not to be wondered at. At some of our fashionable watering places champions and ex-champions may be seen in the most extravagant jewelry and dress, the objects of admiration to a crowd of satellites of that ilk. When those champions of the arena congregate in the halls of the national Legislature the affairs of the country will be conducted in a novel manner—similar, perhaps, to the meeting of the Common Council in this city last spring, when inkstands were used as convincing arguments. In the event of real war, however, those redoubtable champions become singularly quiet, and their belligerent qualities seem to be reduced to the lowest possible standard. The rifle and sword do not enter into their calculations except so far as keeping out of the way, and a prize ring champion makes a very poor appearance in a charge, It will be very difficult to check this growing evil as long as prize fighters become law makers, and the laws are either suspended or leniently dealt out in fisticuff cases. Let those who returned one of the confraternity to Congress as England did Gully to Parliament, imitate the example of the latter coantry and never repeat the istake. WADE HAMPTON ON RECONSTRUCTION.

E, D. Townsanp, Assistant Adjutant General, SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE HERALD. Wasmycroy, Auguat 28, 1867, Exaggerated Reports of a Rupture Between the President and General Grant. Arumor was put in circulation last night that General Grant had refused to issue the orders from the Presi- dent, and that in consequence of his refusal a rupture had been occasioned between the President and General Grant that was irreconcilable in its nature. The rumor further stated that General Grant had addressed another letter to the President, protesting against the promul- gation of the orders relieving Generals Shoridan and Sickles in the form im which they came from the Executive. This rumor has some foundation in truth, but its general purport is creatly exaggerated. That General Grant has refceed to issue the orders of the President your correspondent has the b& authority for denying. The most positive proof that such is not the fact 1s that one of the orders—that relieving Genoral Sickies—was published to-day, and it was confidently expected that both would have appeared. The order relieving General Sheridan will doubtiess be published to-morrow. It is trae that Goneral Grant yesterday addressed to the President another communication, furtber protesting against the execation of the order assigning General Hancock to relieve General Sheridan, and suggesting whether or not & course was not in contravention of the last Supplementary Reconstruction law of Congress, confiding to the General-in-Chief of the army the execution of the law, To this it is understood the President has not replied in writing; but Geheral Grant to-day bad an interview with the President, when “His beheved the arguments of the former were con- sidered. The statement that frreconcilable differences have ariven between tue Executive and General Grant is also an exaggeration. General Grant, believing that General Sheridan should not be removed from the command of the Fifth Military district, bas exerted himself to dis- suade the Presi dent from taking such a step; but, finding him folly determined to carry out bis design, he has yieided obedience to the Commander-in-Chief of the army and navy under protest. There is certainly a dif- ference of opinion between them, but that a rupture of a serious nature has occurred is not the case. It has been stated that General Grant offered the second protest in the hope that it woaid result in his being relieved from the duties of Secretary of War ad interim, and that he expects to be thus relieved within a few days. In re- gard to this statement there are the very besi reasons for saying that the idea of relieving General Grant from his position in the War Department until permanent ‘occupant 18 found is not now, and has never been eater. tained since his assignment to that duty. It is believed by those wnose opinions im the matter are worthy of respect that General Grant has tdo clear an understanding of his relations to the Executive to come to any hostile issue with that branch of the gov- ernment in reference to the execution of the Recon. Tomporary Command of the Fifth Military District to be Issued To-Morrow. It was expected that the order directing General Han- o’cloek it had not been promulgated. The order will be issued to-morrow, and will direct General Hancock to Proceed immediately to relieve General Sheridan, and ‘axe command of the district during the iliness of General Thomas, Upon the recovery of that fofficer ‘the original order No, 71, assigning him to the command of the Fifth Military district, which is now suspended on Account of his illness, will be again put ts force, and General Thomas will take command, Differences Between the Pre nd Goueral Grant.
