Governor Cuhtix, jn’view of the exigency of the public service, has suggested to the President a plan of garrisoning the defences of Washington with militia, that the veteran soldiers now in that de partment tnight be spared for more important and pressing duties in the field. To this end, he offered to forward here twenty thousand militia, and asked ■ that about five 1 thousand volunteers, who have Had the necessary experience be distributed • among the. militia, to render the latter force equivalent for alt practical purposes, to the same number of volun teers sent to the field. It is riot known whether this patriotic offer has been accepted, but it riieets with the favqr of the President, There lvasa mutiny on General Ellet’s flag-boat, Autocrat, ..on, the. Mississippi, a few days since. After several: hours’ confinement and fasting, the mutineers sent a committee of three from their com pany to intercede with General Ellet for their re lease ; but the General sent them word that they should remain iti irons until they were court mar tialed, and that if death was awarded they should be shot. He also added that, sooner than allow a mutiny to go unpunished aboard one of his .vessels,' he would blow her tip with every boul aboar d, not counting his own life anything in the effort to main tain that perfect discipline, without which an army, or any portion of it, was utterly useless to the cause and to the country. The Government has purchased “ Dai-Ching,” which was built in New York for Ad miral General Ward, for service under the Chinese revolution ary. Government. Her 'dimensions are as follows: length,l7q feet; width, 3D feet; depth of hold, 14 feet; draught of water, 11 feet; measure ment, 728 tons. She has a direct acting engine,with two 20-inch cylinders, arid. 2Mnch stroke.. She is ■arf exceedingly pretty vessel, and will be put into active service a: once. The action of the Nicaraguan Government in in terfering with the Central American Transit Com -pariy’s steamer, hairing been brought to the atten tion of the proper authorities, it has been decided -that there has been i:o violation of the contract on the part of the company,-and therefore, under the treaty existing between the two Governments, am ple protection will he given against any future inter ference by that Government. , An expedition against the “Snake ’’lndians, in -Oregon, is planned for this summer. Seventy trans portation wagons and four hundred mules hav*e been purchased for. the use of the expedition. The ruth less'; slayers Of women in that region will most as suredly, be cleared but by the Oregonians, who dis play much enterprise in Indian hunting, as well as in everything else they undertake. ■ An army correspondent writes, under date of near Falmouth,-Vs., April 13: “It will be no secret to ■flay that General Stoneman’s oavalry corps has .started on an important expedition, aecompaniedby such artillery and infantry/as may be needed to co operate in their enterprise. Great results are ex pected, of which the public will in due time be iri- Torined.” Their subsistence, forage, and ammuni tion were conveyed on the backs of pack mules. Advices from Kentucky, dated April 10, state that Gen. Nagle’s brigade, including the 6th and Bth New Hampshire, third division, ninth army corps, moved from Lexington, on the Sth' instant, and marched twenty miles to Winchester, where it re mains for the present. ItAs supposed the .ninth army edrps.will keep along near the borders of the State, to repel rebel invasions if attempted. Gen. Shields arrived in San Francisco on the 20th ultimo, and made an impromptu speech at the •OrientaJ Hotel, the same evening. He has resigned his commission in the United States army, and has no connection with the military department of the ■Government.,, Ovek sixty thousand tons of ice have been taken out of the Kennebec, Me., during the season, most of which is to go to New Orleans and Havana. Con tractors have agreed to deliver some twenty-five thousand tons at the former city at twenty-five dol lars per ton. , . Gen. Burnside has caused the arrest of two young ladies for giving aid and comfort to the enemy in Kentucky. Their names are Miss Fanny Battles, -daughter of the rebel Brig. Gen. O. Battles, and Miss Hattie Booker, both from Tennessee, and both are now enjoying plain food at Camp Chase, Columbus, • Ohio. ' A COBRESFONDENT of the Nashville Union,who has been within the rebel lines, writes: “ Morgan’s full loss at the battle of Milton has never been pub lished.-',He' had twenty-six commissioned officers killed, and wounded., His whole lobs was not less than five hundred officers and men, killed and wounded.”' General Kosxcrr ans has prepared his army for offensive eperatibns... General Burnside has’opcned ■direct communication'with him, and will probably join him at the proper moment. The forces scat tered about through Tennessee, Missouri,' and Ar kansas have orders to concentrate and move with more concert of action. Our troops have crossed the Rappahannock urn, der Generals Stoncman, Averill, McGregg, and Sir Percy Wyndham, arid have advanced into Culpeper county, Virginia. The main body of the rebel Army of Virginia is now operating near Newbern, Suf folk, and-Williamsburg. -The rebels are sending troops to the Southwest flail#by railroad. On .Monday night a member of a Pennsylvania regiment on picket complained of feeling ill. The surgeon of the regiment was called, when there was some whispeiing instituted. The Blok soldier was a woman, aicdnle, of course. The result of the sur geon’s work was the delivery of a fine boy. Gen. Josh. Owen named the child Picket Falmouth Bllsworth. . - Colonel. PuiiLTrs reports that his expedition against the Creclt Indians, employed by the rebels in the region of the Upper Arkansas river, has been crowned with Success. : .He has cleared the whole country of rebels, and taken possession of Fort Gib son, which has : been held by the enemy since the commencement of the war. ... We have some official intelligence of the recent engagement between our-gunboats and the rebels under General Longstreet on the Nansemond river in Soutkeastern Virginia. It seems that, after a spirited conflict of - some hours’ duration,-the rebel light batteries were driven off. Considerable injury was done to the. vessels of the flotilla, but our loss in men was slight. v Thebe was quite a serious riot in Halifax, N. S., on Thursday evening, between the troops of "the -garrison and th'e oitizens. The mob was finally dia-' persed by a detachment of .the royal artillery, after a number of persons had been wounded ancl consider able damage done to property. Biohmonp papers, of the 10th inst., report that -our troops still remain' in detachments- on the Sea islands near Charleston, protected by gunboats. 'They-also report the destruction of two gunboats -and three transports, on the Cumberland river, by, therebel cavalry under Gen. Wheeler.

Mr..'Erics son, with a personal interest in the subject, has hurried into print with an excusable anxiety to give us his theories about theper fonnance.of the iromclads, their compara tive invulnerability, ahd tbe truths we have learned' from their ill-success. According, to Mr. Ericsson our repulse possesses all the 'substantial results of a victory. We are advised to thank the commanders of the iron-clads for their ineffectual gallantry, and to look upon Admiral Dupont's attack ass' the most important event in naval history ; and we are consoled with the in forination that “tlie history of war may be searched in vain for; an instance of such, costly preparations,*, kept: up at such vast expenditure's, as Charleston now requires to waid off the blow from half a dozen small . vessels, manned, provisioned, and coaled at less :cost than an ordinary first-class screw ship.” Jit is natural that Mr. Ericsson should; feel a deep interest' in an invention which lias given him world-wide notoriety, ■' and may give him enduring fame. The people who believe in nothing'but success may not be disposed to find in the. cold sentences of tliis distinguished engineer the comfort that a triumphant despatch from Admiral Du pont would have occasioned; hut, at the same time, it is as well for us to look over the reports of the great fight, and see what light we have obtained from our discomfi ture. ..Perhaps we shall profit in the encl by our stern experiences that we have met’and borne* so philosophically ; for. the : lessons they .teach us in the science of war will have an application and -a value as long as our liberties are worth struggling for, and our national existence is. worth preserving from decay. Such of these lessons as immedi ately suggest themselves we shall proceed to record. , In’ the first place, the engagement in Charleston harbor establishes beyond ques* tion the superiority of the turret principle in the cohstrnction of iron-clad vessels-of-wai: The first test of the Monitor in Hampton Roads was satisfactory as far as it went, but it was not as rigid as scientific men could have desired, and left’ several important problems to be solved. Could the monitors approach sufficiently close to Fort Sumpter to engage it with any hope of breaching;its walls, and yet withstand the terrific con centric fire to which they must be exposed : from Cummings’ Point, Fort Wagner, Fort Moultrie, and battery Beauregard ? This was the question which Admiral Dupont was called upon to solve. He was called upon to undertake one of the most important and hazardous experiments that could he ima gined; yet,-undeterred by the risks to which his individual reputation must necessarily be exposed, or by a sense, of the vast re sponsibility. 'resting;on his efforts,, he accept ed the tinstunfalteringly. How satisfactorily it was ciischargecl airy report "of the-'engage ment will reveal. The monitors were order ed to approach within six or eight hundred yards of Sumpter. They approached jvithin four hundred yards, maintained their posi tions for two hours, breached the northeast ern face of the fort badly, and, night having . set in, retired leisurely, without having been penetrated through any portion of tJteir won plating by the three thousand shot and shell rained down upon them from innumerable batteries.. Never before was the impenetra bility of armor-plating exhibited so clearly or by such a fearful test; and now it is es tablished that the monitors are unequalled by any war-vessels afloat in their capacity to resist an enemy’s fire. It Iras been demonstrated, in tire second place, that offensively the monitors are more effective than mailed vessels of a larger, class, .the armaments being' .equal; while a single .one of them could accom plish , as - much work:- as a -whole, armada of wooden ships.. Thus, the seven monitors, - mounting hut fourteen guns in all, did more. ; damage to Foil Sumpter than the.lronsides,.,' with her eighteen guns. They .did not get ; aground ; they could move around readily’ in-whatever'direetion they chose, selecting the most eligible points of attack; and they; could approach some eight hundred yards' nearer; to i'ort Smnpter, thus virtually .sir lencing'her harhette guns, and exposing her quite as much as themselves to the lire of the land -batteries.;-- Yet they have defects which require to be remedied. They should be- provided, with a mpre‘"efiacient arma ment, so.arranged that a shot might he fired from each gun at least once in every five minutes. ,If they had fired a total of three hundred rounds of ammunition, in Tues day's engagement, instead of : a meagre huhdred and fifty,' it is quite possible.that Fort Sumpter would have been in our pos session to-day. Again, the bolts by which their armor is attached to the' frame need to.be fastened,in some more effectual man ner, ,so,that they will .not ‘‘ fly ” so readily. Nearly every casualty in the late engage ment was dire-to this cause. These are .de fects that- may be easily remedied; but until rc-inedied, tliey detract from the offensive powers of the vessels. Another lesson taught us by tire recoil noissance of Admiral- Dupont is. this: no number of land batteries, however formi dable or judiciously located, can guard a . harbor against the entrance of an iron-clad vessel. It was not the terrific fire of the rebel works that prevented our reaching Charleston, and postponed the downfall of •that city. The bright sheets of flame, the dense billows of smoke, the deafening roars of the artillery, so vividly described by sentimental correspondents, actually amounted to nothing. A historical drama was enacting, and a' little thunder was necessary for- due stage effect; but that was not the main difficulty. • It was the' triple line of obstructions thrown across the chan nel -from Fort Sumpter to Moultrie, that -rend wed our retirement a matter of neces sity. If we could have passed these ob • stacles, the forts would have been ours . without the firing of another gun, as was the case at New Orleans. Failing to pass them, wc plight have battered every fort to brick-dust,' and would still have failed to ' capture Charleston. - . , , : From this fact the inference-is clearly de riyabl e that the expedition was lacking in the main essential to success—viz: an appliance; for ihe removal of the harbor obstructions. Months ago such an appliance was invented by Captain EnicssiMj.. experinrented-.jwith.' iniN'e-w and found capable of accomplishing the desired purpose. -The main feature: of it was an immense torpedo, filled with six hundred pounds of powder, suspended from a raft, to ’be attached to the bow of the vessel. ..The commanders of the iron clads, ’one and jail, declined- to test its utility in the attack of Tuesday, mainly for the reason that it was’ “ an experiment.’.’ True, Commander Fodgfus, -of the Wee hawken, allowed the raft to be attached to bis-vesselj but refused to countenance the torpedo in any shape. Therefore, the har bor obstnictions were not cleared away, and the fleet was compelled to.-retire: Mr. ■ Fur ceson ’ s torpedo-remover may" or may . . not. be capable'of removing the obstructions'- in. Charleston harjror, but some such device : is : necessary to accomplish -this before the fleet -will be able to take the rebel strong hold. The difficulty is not insurmountable, or even-extraordinary, and tliere is certainly eiio.pgh'. inventivp genius in . the country to Overcome % if-proper' inducements aie of fered.-to-inveiitofs by the Navy Department. 1 -Finally, we arrive at the deduction thak conical steel-pointed shot are the most for midable projectiles', that can be brought to bear against-iron-clads ; and it seems that bur. English friends, have (just arrived at a Similar conclusion, "-Wc learn by the Lon don 2’imen of the SOtli hlt. that/a few-days iprevidusly experiments were’m&de at SUqe •buiyness with the Armstrong--steel shot - ■againSt a box target faced with four-and-a pralf-inch plates, and lined inside with-teak land,an iron skin, like the Warrior.

It completely smashed away a piece about 15 inches: deep, by 18 or .20/wide, splintering and ripping-, up the bucking behind. One piece of the plate, ;*f con siderable weight, was carridcPfar beliind-tUe : target, where.lt fell with; the .itself. The Times adds: “The tria l /seemed to show - that to pierce tlib plaq&s almost as much depends upon the metAl of. the-pfo jectiie as upon either the gv.n or charge of powder which fires it. C'ortainiy, the result, seemed .quite, to upset tho notion tlmt :i fiat hc-aded shot is essentiaiVy necessary to punch armor pinlcs, and, on the other hand, to strengthen the beKef.that the best, form for this purpose may, after all,; and with proper metal, ! be ‘found lio be .the conical form adopted by Sir 'William Armstrong.” There is every reason to believe that these were the'shot fired from Forts Moultrie and * Beauregard with such effect,- sinking the Keokuk - and temporarily crippling the mo nitors, when rouhcl -Shot i and shell, would - have proved harmless against the latter. These seem to bo the main questions of scientific interest that have been settled con clusively by the late recpniioissan.ee in force —for such it was in . fact,, whether "mainly undertaken I ,as such or n’ot. Numerous other points of information, scarcely less valuable, have been gained, but they Have been enu merated by the special, correspondent of The Press, who accompanied the expedition, and it is needless to repeat them. Collec tively, they serve to establish the fact that - Cliaricston can be taken by the monitor fleet alone, if means of removing the harbor ob structions are provided and employed. In fact, vye :do not so much need guns, and ■large fleets and extensive armies, as a little of the inventive genius of the country di rected in the right channel and earnestly applied. • The Greek finest ion. It is understood that before proposing Prince William of Denmark as a candidate for the throne of_Greece, England obtained the consent of France to his nomination. What Russia will thilik of it appears un known. It must be remembered that Russia would never have permitted Prince Alfred to reign in Greece. His sovereignty there would give England more preponderance in the Southeast of Europe than can be pleasant for Russia. The contest in the Crimea, though it checked the inroads and thwarted the designs of Russia upon Turkey, only postponed both. The policy of Russia is to extend its empire until Constantinople shall be.its capital in the South of Europe, as-St. Petersburg is in the North... When Petek the Great died, his -will, was deposited in the archives oftlie palace ; of : Peterhoff,-near St.- Petersburg. Copies of: this' document yyere duplicated, Land, ihein.autheritieify.lias ’ not been challenged. That remarkable person, tjlie. Chevalier d’Eon obtained a copy, when he was at St.,Petershlirg, in 1757, . and trans mitted it to the Abbe nr.: Bernir,- who was tlicn. foreign minister to Louis XV.; in Paris. In-tids doenment he traced the future' policy of the -great' nation, which had emerged from barbarism under the power of his genius and ambition. • The absorption of Poland, suggested, half a century ere it took place, was one of his special directions; the conquest of Turkey was.ancther ; a third was named in the following words:“ We must collect around our house, as round a centre, all the detached sections of, Greeks, which are scattered abroad in . Hungary, Turkey, and; South Poland;-we must make them look to us for support; and thus l>y establishing beforehand a sort of eeclesiasti- - cal snpiemacy, we shall-pave the way for universal sovereignty.” British influence.in Greece, which maybe greatly extended by the cession of the lonian Islands, would be such a decided blow to the; hereditary designs of Russia that one may safely doubt, whether the Czar will permit the Danish Prince -to accept the crown.' He'has the right of veto, and really the having the brother of the Prince of Wales, or his brotlier-in-law, as King of Greece, is rather a distinction than a differ ence. There may be a compromise, per haps. There is a whisper of the Czar’s granting an amnesty to Poland, and of re-' storing its nationality by re-erecting it into a sovereignty, with an acceptable Eranco- Russian prince as King, owning the Czar as his sovereign. The Duke of Leuchtenberg is nephew to ,the Czar and, through the Em press Josephine of France, cousin to Na poleon 111. His being placed as ruler over Poland would be satisfactory not merely to France and Russia, but to the whole of Eu rope. Should the young Danish Prince (Danish only by adoption, for he is German by birth and . descentJ be - allowed to ascend the" throne of Greece, it is intended that,’ during his' minority, he shall govern through a Council of Regency. The young man will not have completed his eighteenth year until next Christmas eve. It really seems absurd to place the fortune of a Kingdom i'ir the hands of such a mere lad., It is absurd, also, to'give Greece such a costly r uler as a King. The country is terribly in debt, and the moie suitable, as well-as least costly, form of government for Greece would have been a Republic. Against this, however, though the Greeks anxiously, de sire it, the.combined sovereignties of Europe have the most decided objections. Greece has Hobson’s choice—a kingly ruler or, none. , Rciioit of tlie National Freedmans Relief Association.

The reports thabthe French had defeated General Oomonfort and had capf u redone v orthe gates'of Puebla are not confirmed? 'The French Had, however, invested the city, having taken possession of the. hill called Amalocan, which 1 commands the road to Vera Oruz, andis about three miles from the .nearest Mexican" fort, and some-four miles from Puebla itself;; and of the hill San-Juan, commanding the road to the city* l of Mexico,.lees than two'?miles from the nearest Mexican fort, and a Ijttl? jpore than two milea -fiom ? >'V .. - v ' The outposts of the French on the San Juan side extended to the river Atoyac, the bridge over which, at the Molino del Baton, they had seized. : General Coinonfort’s forces \yere beyond the-river toward the city of Mexico, his outposts coming within half a mile of the French.

In order to give* these letters a wide circulation, the editor also frequently issued - to the sympathetic Christian world of,Eng lun&to subscribe for a large number of copies. The Sai-ilrfiay Itcviciv insinuated that the primary, object of : editorwas-_not; the salvation‘‘of the heathen, but Jh© circulation of the Ensign. Hence the notion for libel.

From Havana. Riot at Halifax, NEW MRK €ITI. CSpecial Correspondence of The Press. 3 Nisw York, April 17,1863. THE “PETERHOFF” CASE ' f is pretty near a settlement; the Prize Commis sioners have heard all the evidence required, and will report to the court in a few days whether the British steamer “Peterhoff” is, or is not, in their judgment, a lawful prize to the United States ac cording to the international usage. In the interim, it will do no harm to speculate a little upon the known facts of the case ; and basing their con clusion upon these facts, a majority of people, I find, entertain very little doubt that, the “ Peterhoff”. will be returned to the British, with an allowance of all the claims for damages tacitly admitted by the act of surrender. The refusal of the ' authori ties at -Washington permit the mail of the captured vessel to be opened and examined by the Commissioners is regarded aB pretty con “vcfußiye evidence, that our Government has little faith in the legality of the seizure, and desires to make amends for the supposed rash action of Com , modore Wilkes with as little circmnlooufcion as pos sible. Had the openingof the mail-bag been permit ted, it might either have revealed ample justification oi the capture, independently of the other suspicious circumstances about the cargo and passengers.of; the steamer; or it might have so completely cleared her of all suspicion of being contraband, as to make the aforesaid extraneous suspicious circumstances of no account whatever. There was a decided iißk in the case, which our Government dqeß not think it worth while to incur,without a palpable justification there for—a justification not to be found in'the other indi cationsof the vessel’s character. Leaving the mail altogether out of the argument, there can be no. doubt that the;legalifcy of the seizure is a matter of serious question; and the fact that there is any. question at all about it, is equal to an admission : that the Peterhoff will be' turned-over to Lord Lyons if he demands her.., The c case is almost an exact parallel with the Trent-affair. Indeed, that precedent would settle it at once, without the least extra formality, but for,a single point of difference, which may give Secretary Seward an opportunity to snub "Earl Russell with another of his dex terous letters on international law and equity. *lt' in• the .time .of the. ..Trent dia pute-'that, if 7 Captain Wilkes h&d sei&ed the vessel aS r :ikll as the rebel ambassadors , the act would haye ; been legal. In this case, Wilkes has at least avoided his former error; and if any of the persons and things found upon the “ Peterhoff” were really con traband, that point, certainly, cannot-beAnade by the ■ claimants. 1 ’ There ia undoubfcedly'a fine op portunity- ;for a lengthy-and ingenious diplomatic .wrangle over the affair, if Secretary Seward is. dis posed to shed tendporizing ink for his country ;:bu); as it looks as though the steamer must inevitably be, -given perhaps the moßtdignified and -bu siness-like bourse that could be pursued is the one which* our Government would seem to have deter mined on. • ; THE IRON-BATTEKY (E ROANOKE has gone to the navy yard, Brooklyn, to receive.her stores .and v armament, and will shortly take her place in tbe harbor, as the most practical kind of .a..

As to-the principles, however, on which the rise and fall of the premium depends, there is less differ- ** once of opinion. _ Tlie prevailing theory .seems to be, that to estimate the real value of. gold as compared with, our currency, two things must be known : First, what amount of circulation the business pf.the country would absojb and keep afloat, -wereit convertible at pleasure into gold Secondly, by wiiat.percentage is this amount exceeded by the. aggregate of currency now in circula-' Hon. This per centage, whatever it\De, represents the feah natural-premium whibh gold wouldbcar if relieved from the capricious perturbations due to speculation &hd similar temporary causes.:. ; Tried by theseprlndples, the premium, as is believed by the best authonties,.’ouf?bt-to-descendt6aconsidera bly lower point than it has touched since.
