[epeeist Conssemadenge of The 'Prese,3 OULPEPER O. H , March 23,1864. General Warren. General Warren has just established the head quarters of the 6th Corps in town. This General, since the battle of Gettysburg, has commanded the ed Corp, and brought himself into notice at the battle of Bristow Station. Every reader of The Press remembers our usual fall retreat from the Ra pidan to the heights of Centreville. Lee endeavored to throw a large corps between the Army of the Po tOmee and Washington, but was frustrated by the active manoeuvring of General Meade. The 211 Corps which has covered every retreat since Mc- Clellal fell back from Richmond, was again in the rear. As the column neared Kettle Run, and pre pared to cross et Bristow, the enemy attacked them namely: Warren was marching his men by the flank, when Beth's brigade, of Hill's corps, engaged hint. Warren was highly praised for the general ship he here 'displayed, and at Mine Run was se lected to lead an important attack upon the enemy's' right flank. After he reported the foolhardiness! of such an attempt, the design was relinquished. eI,RANT'S DDIADQUARTERI3. General Grant's headquarters are at Mrs. Riney% a large brick house in the centre of the town. War ren is establiahed but a few rods distant, in what was once the Virginia Hotel. The entire village is being policed to-day that is, the streets are being cleared and cleansed. All the officers who have been ensconced in houses during the early and greater' portion of the winter, have been ordered to their va rious regiments, brigades, or whatever it may hap• pen to be. This will leave a large number of vacant houses, but they will soon find new occupants. Tan CORHOLIDATION—RIMORD Cr TEM 3D CORPS. The consolidation of the different army corps has been a subject of so mush discussion that it is a mat. ter of much wonder to me how so many appear to be surprised. General French bade adieu to the 3d corps In affectionate language. Very few thought the 3d corps, which now numbered almost twenty thousand muskets, would be fused into a smaller one. That the 24 corps, numbering less than ten thousand bayonets, shoUld be consolidated with an other, Wail probable—the extinction of the 3d corps Impossible. This corps, like the Ist, of which Gene ral Newton has just taken leave, to report to Sher. man, was organized as early as March, 1862, before ..proceeding to the Peninsula. They have been in twenty different battles and' skirmishes, from Wit liamsport, May 6th, 1862, to Locust Grove, Novem. her 27th, 1863. When first organized Heintzeiman commanded the corps, Hamilton the Ist, F. J. Porter the ad, and Hooker the'2d division. In Roman history we read of klarcellus and Fabius, the sword and shield of Rome. How many such swords and shields have been furnished the Union from this single corps d'armee ? Their names are Ileprney, Heintzelman, Hooker, Hamilton, Humphreys, Steneman, Sedgwlck, Sickles, and tile present corn. Mender of the Ist division, Blrney. RE-IRSTATBSIBIST. A few weeks ago two majors of the 17th Penn go lvania Cavalry were summarily dismissed the service for disobedience of a General Order. There was neither hearing nor court martial in the ease. The order of their dismissal having gone through the newspaper press, it is but right that the notice of their re instatement should be printed. WAR DETAWIIIIINT, ADJT.

In the ca valry, those to whom the Government has furnish• ed excellent horses are dissatisfied, and want better ones, and when there is a favorable opportunity steal others. I have noticed most of the infantry stationed in town have managed to keep themselves tolerably well mounted all winter. It is much safer to leave your pocket.book in a streetcar in Phila delphia, than your private horse unguarded in the army. If your horse should happen to have U. S. branded on the shoulder, he is safe. It without these initials, that is if he be your own private pro perty,take My advice and never for an indent lose sight of him, for should he once disappear it would be forever. Two days ago, Captain Tallman, quar termaster of DlerritVs Cavalry division, sent a small squad of men to Brandy Station after a lot of mules- On their way thither the men got to conversing about races. A. on, they hazarded a wager or two, and finally all scampered over the undulating plain, racing as fast as their horses would go. They were all galloping up a slight eminence, each man spur ring his horse to win, never imagining that General Meade and his staff were approaching on the same road, but concealed from view by the slight ascent -in the ground. Straight through the advancing party they charged like a whirl wind, and never drew rein till they were far on the other side. General Meade sent a major from hii staff after the culprits. They succeeded in capturing live of the party, who were placed in arrest and marahed back to Culpeper. The General ordered their cap- Wu to have some severe and signal punishment in flicted upon them, the nature of which should be re. ported to him. Historians notice the humanity and generosity of Napoleon, who offered large rewards to any sailor who should rescue from the waves any of his soldiers who were so unfortunate as to fall overboard. Napoleon wanted every man—it WAS his desire that none should be wantonly saorifteed. Meade would not have his horses foolishly fagged put. Horses are becoming mercer, and like a thoughtful, provident general, he would have every animal perform regular marches or be slain fre ac tion. PHILADELPHIA, Pa The " 14th Brooklyn Minstrels " give liknilied their amusing performanees last night. Along with every one Ind everything else located here this winter they were obliged to leave their houses and seek shelter in tents. They will still do moved duty ill town. Generals Grant, Meade, and Warren are expected to favor the minstrel" with their presence to morrow night. On the other side the Rapidan there are no visible evidence of restlessness. Everything is quiet. The storm will soon buret. If we but gain the first few successes in the coming esinpaign the effeet will be wonderful and exhilarating. Let this army have a solid victory this spring and nothing can materially retard its onward march. B. (p eial Oorreepondenee of the Preto Although on the surface Allis quiet in the mu ita• ry district of Florida, yet a careful observer may coo some things which are pregnant with interest, i(not danger. Only a few miles from us, a large rebel force, flushed with recent victory, and laden with spoils, occupies a strongly fortified position, which is growing stronger every day. Thomas has fallen back from Dalton, Schofield is quiet in Knoxville, Sherman ha. completed his reconnoissance in Mis• sissiPPi, and retired to Vicksburg, and the Florida fumy is the only force that la pressing, in the ex terns South, upon the rebel lines, and the enemy ill at liberty to throw against us his army, strongly reinforced, and crush us at a blow. Having rail road communication, from all parts of the territory he holds to the camp occupied in our front, troop. can be brought here, light a battle, and return, if their services were needed elsewhere, without eon. suming but little time. This sudden concentration of armies upon a single point has been the policy, the practice, and the secret of the guineas of the rebels from the beginning of the war. If their war counsels conclude that both Florida and Richmond cannot be held, I have not a doubt we shall have hot times very soon—as soon 118 we are ready to play successfully our part of the game. Since the capture of the " Sumpter," an account of which I wrote you last week, the afar more valuable prize, has been taken further up on the $t Johns. The second expedition was fitted out at Palatka. A. prize crew from the Pawnee's launch was put aboard the Sumpter, and she was at once put into service. Acting Master Champion took command, and made the steam-tug Columbine his flag-ship. F. W. Sanborn, mate, and twelve ma• lines formed the crew. On the night of the 12th inst. this not very formidable crew started out on a cruise up the St. Johns. Rations were taken for only three days, and, when live days had passed, no tidings having been received from them, we became considerably alarmed tor their safety. Some of the streams they were to navigate were so narrow that, by felling two or three trees across the channel, the enemy could prevent their return. But an earnest leader, such as master Champion is, with the pros pect before him of capturing a valuable prize, will run many risks and make many a rough. shift when provisions are getting low. After leaking a thorough eXpioratiOn of Lake George without success, he moves on up the river, exploring every tributary, bay, and bayou of that crooked abeam fill Patatka, some eighty miles in the rear. Further up Lakes Burford and Jeaup are examined, but nothing found, and it is resolved to push up to Lake Harney, 130 miles above Palatka. It was in this broad and beautiful lake that per. severance was crowned with success. The Hattie, as she was fondly and familiarly called, was found tied up near the beach, in an outof-themay place, and left to her fate. Our men, without molestation, took peasession, towed her out into a safe plate, and made some hastraxaminations.

The amount fixed was fifteen hundred dollars. Upon this action of Barnard's, the Post commented with much severity, asking it a judge has the right to releases convict " upon straw. bail," and calling upon the District Attorney to seize Cook. In reply. the District Attorney avowed himself the responsible actor in the cam. Judge Barnard, however, took up cudgels on his own be half, and, at the opening of Chambers, delivered the foll Owing remarkable specimen of judicial laves. tive "111 y attention had just been called to an article that appeared in that beastly journal, the Etnning Pest, last evening. With the exception of bailing Cook, it is totally false, and nothing else, moreover, could be expected from a man who publicly keeps a negro mistress. I shall take occasion at an early day, and in a public manner, to discuss the character of those rot ten vagabonds who live by blackmailing citizens, and designate themselves as connected with the Eve• zing Post." In rejoinder, the Post refers to the oration as 1, wholly and shamefully false and libellous, the pure invention of the wretched being who uttered This is as far as the matter has gone. It is possible, however, that the Judge will again lift up his voice in the matter and vindicate the character of the bench and the severe dignity of the profession. The discussion of miscegenation -in the editorial columna of the dailies is causing the public to cast an investigating eye at ealerring cases of this eadars ble theory in practice. There are several miscege nators of long Standing in our Midst, and Singularly enough, they have attracted no peculiar attention to themselves previous to the present agitation of the subject. Unfortunately for those who are so fiercely renouncing all Republicans as apostles of the ‘. ation," by far the greater number of those whO have adopted it belong to a class of foreigners who always vote the straight ticket of the so-called Democracy. The fact, of course, has no political bearing, but it becomes pertinent when we recol lect that the science of amalgaination is continually charged upon Republicans alone. There are at prevent two ladies of wealth and for. mer position—politics not known—who have black husbands, and who reside in this city without mo lestation, or unpleasant notoriety. One was origi nally from Bridgeport, Conn., where her family, a most respectable one, resides. The case of the se cond is remarkable, and might furnish a page to ro mance. this lady is a timely, magnificent woman, possessing tine Intellectual and inofill indoWments, and a culture on all that pertains to Social accom plishments, which, perhaps, is only too rarely met with. She was an orphan, and poasessed in her own right, property valued at fifty thousand dollars. Some years ago while riding in her carriage, she was thrown violently to the pavement, and rendered insensible by the injuries which she sustained. The first man who reached her was black—purely African. He took her to his mother's house, and when she was litaidently revived conveyed her home in a carriage. Every day during which the lady remained an invalid, the black called at the door, inquiring after her health. He sent her delicate presents, and she accepted them. He proposed, and she as opted him. They were married, bought a house, and, although living under one roof, have ever kept to their separate apartment.. Not unfrequently they walk arm-in-arm through the streets. She still moves in her original social sphere ; he moves "in his. The facts of the case are patent to all who know her; nor does she ever attempt their conceal ment. Perhaps it was gratitude which led her to contract the nominal marriage; perhaps it was fancy, or love. We only have the result, while the reason is hidden. Certainly the affair doe' not come under the head of Miscegenation, but rather under that what Doctor Johnson need to call the anfractuosities of the human mind. None who know the lady pretend to censure her conduct, al though many of her acquaintances, indeed the great majority of them, may reasonably be suspected of a loathing for the vile theory referred to. TRH CITY TO BE TWINBLED. The idea of constructing an underground railway from Bowling Green to Central Park seems to be seriously entertained. It offers a solution for the troublesome problem on which so many suggestions have been wasted, of relieving our main thorough. fares from an excessive' crowd of vehicle., and at the same time offering fresh facilities for, travel. The estimated cost onkertunnel, exclusive of rails, is about four milliongAnd sounarter. It is proposed to run it between Fiftfamul Sixth avenues, so as to avoid striking the lines Woe, water, and sewers. Numerous stations will lie established between the termini, for botlfpauengers and freight. The " friends" have had another little frolic of their own, which, although it mourned the proportions of an inconsiderable riot, was not of the usual sanguine. ry character. An Irish lad of some eight or nine years had been run over and killed by one of the city railroad cars, while he was endeavoring to steal a ride upon the line. The body Was taken to Belle. vue Hospital, and there laid out preparatory to an inquest being held. Upon hearing of the accident, the parents hurried to the hospital, and requested the corpse, which request being properly refused, they summoned a mob and captured the place by storm. After possessing themselves of the body, they retired. No arrests appear to have been made. A monument is to be erected in Trinity Church, to the memory of Bishop Onderdonk, who, it , will be remembered, was tried and convicted before his peers in Episcopacy; upon the charge of filthy conduct. A portion of the sculpture is to be devoted to a dumb Vindication of his character. Now and then a corner of the veil which hides the mysteries and miseries of the city is lifted, and a momentary glimpse afforded of the horrors which lie beyond. Suet now some little excitement exists, regarding the manner in which female emigrants are dragged to infamy by devils whose profession has this result for its object. These wretches assume to represent "Intelligence Offices," and upon pretence of obtaining for their victims situations in private families, decoy them to the deuce-hound' which line the lower portion of the oily, and sell them body and soul to the keepers, at prices varying from fifty cents to ten dollars, according to the youth and ap pearance of the chattel.

As the two roads combined form a route between New York and Phila delphia, it is very plain to be seen to what extent the shoe will pinch the Camden and Amboy Company, There is no doubt that Congress, - without being in the least intimidated by the action of the New Jersey Legis lature. will pars the law, and test its authority to do so afterfeards before the United States courts.
