PRESIDENT AND CABINET.
If the pending contest with the
isaxesionists is a death struggle for con
atitutional liberly and law, are we justified
in stopping to consider who administers
the government? The unparalleled
unanimity with which all parties rushed
to`the side of the lawful administrators
of government in. the commencement of
. the struggle, is a sufficient answer. Upon
thelteelaiktaalefeat of a. grand army of
voters of the brave old Democratic party,
•
they were called, upon to testify their
devotion and'intignanimity and patriot
ism to the victors, by giving up for a
. time their favorite political theories and
deepltfolmded °Pinions; doing more—
rushing eagerly to the field of strife at
the call rk of..' man, they had exerted
every energy to defeat, in whom they
had no confidence whilst a candidate,
but to whose commands as the chief
executive of this great nation they paid
the same regard and yielded the same
devotion as if he had been their chosen
and loved' leader. This, too, before the
fires of the contest had time to cool,
before the personal and immediate
bitterness engendered by a taunting and
desperate campaign had been allayed.
There is no instance on record of such
an instantaneous and - magnificent dis
play of patriotism.
How does this accord with the mean,
petty bickerings of the Republican
prints at this hour against this same
Administration ? Was the Democratio j
party all wrong when it flew to arms
without itnposing as a condition of
its fealty the dismissal of the Cabinet?
or is the Republican party now right,
that it demands this sacrifice. If any
body of citizens had such a right, it was
surely these who might have been ex
, pected . ,to hesitate before offering up
their lives. They did not do it, they did

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.
The time is at hand in the South to incul
cate with effect, the fact, that they must
hang together or bang separately. No
two parties are permitted, no man can
even reside there who will not give evi
dence of his intentions to act with the
confederates. The disposition of our
people, if not the necessity of the case,
obliges to some extent similar action.—
Freedom of speech, and the freedom of
the Press are constitutional rights,
which Congress itself shall not abridge.
But there is a well defined extent to
both of these rights, which we have as
certained to our hearta-content in times
of profound peace. It has cost us many
a hundred dollars to ascertain the defi
nition of this most valuable prerogative
the freedom of the Press. On several
occasions we have felt it our duty to ex
pose frauds and acts of tyranny, on the
partof individuals for the benefit of the
public, taking care to be literally correct
in every statement, laboring under the
impression that the freedom of the Press
was not a mockery, but a substantial
I right. We have been so often mistaken,
and have paid so rgundly for our mis
takesiluit we have made .up our mind
that, the press is free just as long as the
people permit it. Any gentleman am.
iiitious' to test this much talked of free
dom, has but to be a little outspoken,
and tell some unpalatable truth, and he
may soon find himself before the grand
jury and the criminal court, where he
will learn to distinguish between pri
vate rights and public interests. We
have learned to obey with great
docility the decisions of court, in re
gard to newspapers, which live by the
merest breath of pubic favor, and long
since ceased to boast of the freedom o
the Press as the palladium of our liber
ties, but believe our present dill
culties are chargeable, in a great degree,
to this self-same freedom of the Press

shock since the extinguishment of over
two hundred newspapers since April

The Rush at the War Department.
Until lately the office of the War
Department were open all day, and the
aisles were always full, and the same
buzz was heard the whole day long,
for thole waiting their turn to transact
business with the Secretary and his dif
ferent officers. A fortnight ago it was
found necessary to regulate the rush,
and the business hours were reduced
from 10 A. M. to 3P. M. No one is
admitted before 10, and the impression
has gone abroad that it is best to be
there early and secure the first hearing;
accordingly, every morning about 9i
o'clock, the crowd commences to gather
and by 10 o'clock we have counted
three hundred sitting on the stone wall
and standing around the door. On
Seventeenth street, nearly all wait to
see the Secretary, his assistan to or chief
clerk. During the day a hundred
more will make
_their appearance, ma
king an audience of four hundred.

Gen. McClellan Visits a Regiment In
c og. -The Consequence.
WASHINGTON, August 26.—Gen.
McClellan is in the habit of riding
round oceasionly in citizen's dress, ac
companied by a few of his staff. A few
days ago he was walking through one
of the encampments, across the Potom
ac, and passing the rear of the tents he
saw a bucket of coffee sittlklg near a
fire. Ile asked what it was and one of
the soldiers said "coffee." "It looks
more like slops," he replied, "Oh,"
(said the soldier, "it is not fit to drink,
but we have to put up with it, and our
other food is not a bit better." "Well,
whose fault is it?" he asked. "Oh, our
quartermaster is drunk most of the
time, and when he is not he is study
ing how to cheat." McClellan passed
on, and seeing m ore evidence of the
dirty and slovenly manner in which the
quartermaster conducted his operations
in his tent, he accosted him with the
remark that the men were complaining
of bad treatment from him. The Quar
termaster flew into a passion, and swore
it. was none of his busineass; and he
had better not come sneaking around i
trying to make mischief'. McClellan
answered him telling him he had bet- I
ter be cautious how he talked. Quar
termaster replied, "Who are you, that
you assume so much apparent authori
ty?" "I am George B. McClellan, and
you can pack up your traps and leave!" ,
The Quartermaster was struck dumb,
and McClellan turned and left 'him.
That evening the Quartermaster left to
the tune of the "Rogue's March," play
ed by seine of the boys who had got
wind of it. They now have a Quarter
master who does not "get drunk and
-
cheat!' and that regiment would risk
their lives at the cannon's mouth for

The moral effect of that action will
be worth more to the men than the "in
spection" of a dozen regular officers,
who always let the men know when
they are comins, and are then sur
rounded by a clique; who suppress the
truth, and keep off those who have a
right to have their complaints heard.
Election of mayor...A Serenade.
Richard Wallach Was elected Mayor
of Washingto n by the Common Coun
cil on Tuesday, the District Attorney
having declared the office vacant. He
was serenaded by the Marine Band.
Sev9ral hundred citizens were present.
The District Attorney made a brief
but patriotic speech, declaring that,
so help him God, ho would stand by
the Union, and help to preserve the
Federal metropolis for the Federal Gov
ernment; and be as true to the rights
of the citizens as they in the past had
been true to him. He was loudly ap

All the Military Positions Faled.
It is needless. to crowd the Secre
tary of War by further applications
for military appointments, as there are
no raoanoies excepting such as have
been reserved for meritorious noncom
missioned officers and privates.
Mayor Berret.
The arrest of Mayor Berret has crea"
;ed a good deal of apprehension in cer
Lain quarters. He had considerable
influence because of his official posi
tion; and for years past was the inti
mate of many of those who led in tire-Se
cession movement He was one of the
most strenuous of the Breekinridge dii3-
organizers, and one of the most decided
of the opponents of Douglas. Extremely
fond of office his strong proclivities for
the traitors may be appreciated when,
notwithstandin g his possession of the
mayoralty, he refused to take the oath
a 3 a member of the new Board appoint
etto organize and control the Met
ropolitan Police, of which Board,
Congress makes the Mayor an ea. of
ficio member. The idea that the Chief
Magistrate of the city of Washington
should not be willing to, take -any oath
to support the Government, was itself
a good reason for deposing such a man
from office, even if other offences could
not be proved against him. What
these other offences may be I do not
know, but it is shrewdly surmised
that the treasonable sympathizers here
hare been holding secret meet
ings at his residence. His police
force was so far suspected that Con
gress was compelled to organize a new
and more loyal corps. Mr. Berrot has
always been identified with that pompons
aristocracy which is so peculiar to Vir
ginia. His most intimate friends were
Senators Mason, Hunter, and Toombs
Acquittal of Col illeCutut,
Dlc
Cunn has been honorably ac

him at the recent court martial held in

on the announcement of this fact was
of the most enthusiastic description.
Army Matters,
Several hundred army wagons have
arrived at Washington from Harper's
Ferry, with the camp equipage of the
three months' men under. General Pat
terson. General Banks' headquarters
are now at Poolsville twenty miles above
and his entire supplies are carried by
negroes by the way of Rockville.
More Appointments.
The President has appointed Richard
B. Muir Aid to General McClellan,
with the rank of Captain, and Charles
Stillman, of Hartford, Connecticut, a
Lieutenant in the Marine corps.

The President says he agreed to
make Sickles a Brigadier-General only
when he raised four regiments who
would be satisfied to serve under him.
Col. Fairman's Fire Zouaves are not in

to raise another regiment before he

The last letter of the snob correspond
ent of the Loidon Times will get him
into trouble with everybody. It pit
ches in to the brave and gallant Meagh

nious manner. The Irish blood in
the community is justly aroused at so
wanton an insult to a tried and true
patriot. If Mr. Russell goes South
again, he will meet with twenty chal
lenges, for his betrayals of confidence,
and tirades against the people of the
rebel States. The sole pride and-voca
tion of this bilious L. L. D. seems to
be to deride, sneer at and villify ev

are crowded with malignity, and we
are much mistaken if this last outrage
offered to the Irish, through one of

United States too hot to hold him.
NOT 80 MUCH BOASTING —The
vice of the army reporters and thosewho
communicate army news by telegraph,
is boasting. They cannot tell a story
plainly and truly, but everything con.
nected with army operations is so exag
gerated by brag that no rerson can
have a truthful idea of what really oc
curred. A correspondent is very unfit
for his position who indulges in this
pitiful practice. Instead of eon/mend
ing his narrative to the public, whim
he wishes to inform, he throws discred
it upon even that which may be truein
his narrative. Outside' of the official'
reports of the battles which have taken
place, there is not a correspondent de.:
scribing them who seems to be im
pressed with the soberness of truth,
and disposed to tell the tale as an im
partial spectator, which he should be
when communicating with the public.
History is said to be pretty much what
writers make it. But where there
are so many recording the history of,
passing events, each so differizintly and
boastfully on his own side, future search:.
era after the truth of present . events,
will find themselves so puzzled by eon
tr/adictions that they will have to dis
card the.reoord altogether as unworthy
of belief.
