The President expressed himself fully on the policy of the gov ernment, which is a rigid adherence to the Constitution, and as energetic a prosecution of the war as, in the opin ion of the Comtoarrtiiirehmeittl, is pos sible. Tl, e President stated that, on this subject, all the members of his CKLinet are a unit. Not one of them he.,:tith d or faltered, or even discussed the possibility of any end to the war short of the overthrow of the rebels.. The President and Cabinet are a unit in entrusting the management of the war to the Commanding General, and all are bent upon the utter overthrow of the rebels. The General's health is rap. idly iml.roving. He has dismissed his physician, and devotes himself to his arduoui duties with thorough abnegation of comfort. In a few days he will take the field, previous to which his camp furniture and equipage are being pre pared and put in thorough order. This will infuse an enthusiasm and ardor throughout the entire army. The organ ization of the army proceeds rapidly, and it is difficult to believe that a con dition of things like that before Bull Run could ever have existed. When the word "forward I" shall be given, our army will move to certain victory. MOUE oHA.NGES.,,i-. NOtwithstanding the assurances froth Washington of entire cord iel I ty between the President and his Cabinet. there are rumors to the effect of 1 , ;l n ,, t being well iniithe. councils ,of that dignified body 'of red-tape functionaries. Secre tary Wellk - iraPPears, has, for the pres- ent, eluded the scent of :he Invest,ga '' tipgCommittee; but Blair,tbe Postmaster tieneraVhis been guilty of a liqreputa ble trick which is being used as a lever 4' to lift him out 'of the big cuslroned chair inffihich he, in the afternoons, so gracefully reposes. it appears that this Bleir, shortly after the ortf .of the present Administe, boil and while the Blair family and Fremont were oc cupying the same political couch, wrote a letter to the litter, in which he de nounced Gen. Scott, and "made sport" of the President. Theabeelute contents of this letter are not made public, but it ie hinted that the Postmaster Gertgral was quite graphic in his allusions to the President's want of pet sonal graces, and to Gen. Scott's feeble and imbecile ad. ministration of the War Department. Frembnt, after having been appointed to the command of the Western divi sion, a position he obtained through the influence of the Blair family, began to exhibit an unusual and unnecessary amount of military pomposity. His sudden elevation turned his head, and he began to swell like linen in a high wind. He felt himself to be a great creature, because when spurred, booted and chapsh.ud, he looked like one. In imitation of the mock hero, he felt by "the strength of his countenance and the steadiness of his nerves," that he see was to be a great man ; and that great ness consisted, as it does in the estima tion of:many, in merely putting on the appearance of it And so the Pathfind er began to swagger and swell; to organ ise-body-guards of two or three handred ; to issue emancipation proclamations in defianceof express instructions from the government to the contrary; to enter tain his particular pets in sumptuous entertainments, who on divers occasions drank success to their cause and enter rine. Upon these patriotic occasions, "green seal" is said to have flowed most copiously; and although the hero of ,Mari posa is said to be a man who considers every "inordinate cup unblessed," he was not a 1 all, to curb the genial bursting Of *irks by his admiring friends and followers. Frank P. Blair, Jr , of St. Louis, who is himself disposed to be jolly, didn't like the style of Fremont : in fact, he complained ' that on one occasion he tried for two days to see the General and failed. Lhis may have been upon one of these convivial occasions alluded to, when Col. Frank could snatch an hour - or two from the service to what old gouty veterans style rational, moderate enjoy ment ! At all events, the Blairs erew jealous of Fremont's magnificence, and deter mined to have him removed from the command of the Western division. They succeeded in their - umiertaking of un making the man they had previously elevated ; and now Fremont is using his power in Washington to cripple his for mer friends. It is a very pretty quarrel as it stands; but Fremont, we fear, is no match for the Blairs. When the Post master, ,Generakt. Frank, and the "old mat,'" ois said to he powerful s of the President, put their heads together, they are terrible for mischief. Fremont, until the pres ent quarrel broke out, was a pet of the Blairs; through their management he was brought out for the Presidency in 1856; and as family disputes are always the bitterest, ana quarrels between for mer friends the hardest to reconcile, we look for the struggle between these two interests to be savage and unrelenting, There is no compromise with the Blaine; success has made them insolent, while Fremont, aided by the indomitable will of Jessie, 'has all the pluck of " Old Bullion" himself. When we reflect up on the odds arrayed against Fremont, we find our sympathies in a gentle cur rent setting in his favor. EX-PREBLDENT TYLER.

The Richmond Examiner is disposed to be facetious; it thus jocularly descants upon what it good humoredly styles "good Mmes" at the South, The edi tor of the Examiner is evidently one of those even tempered fellows who can not, under any circumstances, become passion's slave ; one who "no revenue halt but his own good spirits to feed and clothe him." He reminds us of an undertaker whistling while putting in the brass nails in the lid of a coffin. If theseßiahmond wags can joke over their condition, and talk about money being plenty in their banks, while the people are absolutely dying for want of salt, why let them ; it only shows the despe rate state of indifference to which they are reduced—but the Examiner says The banks have more money on their hands than they know what to do with. Some of their branches in the interior have had no application for loans for three months. Capitalists and men of business are alike plethoric with funds. They are beseeching friends to borrow, against whom they were always wont to turn the cold shoulder. The usurer's occupation is gone. That is a class of Southern people that the Yankees have starved out. Everywhere in the South there prevails the opposite of hard times. Never was money so abund. ant, or were the people in more comfort. able circumstances. The war, despite the high prices it has put upon many of the luxuries of life, has produced a season id uninterrupted pecuniary ease and prosper. ity. The stay laws of the States have re. ally hurt nobody but the sheriffs and law yers. Those who owned and owed debts have not had to pay, and therefore have not been injured by failing to receive their dues. Those who owed nothing, and held claims on others, have had money thereby out on loan, which they could not, in all probability, have found burrow. re for. Thus one of tho greatest pecuniary evils of the war has hid, as nearly all evils do, its compensatior." NEWS PARAGRAPHS - . BITING OFF A Tosous.—The Aroostook (Me.)

SHEE - FROM TH The Bombardment of Pt, iiekens6 A correspondent of the New York Ewald haw isbes Lae following coconut of the fight at Fort , Pickens on the let instant : On the morning of the let inst, a Ankh rebel steamer was observed from Fort Pickens maklak her way towards the navy-yard. She behaved In a very defiant manner, some one on board warkk . in a rebel flag. Which Teemed to say , Yon alarehnit fire at me." This was not to be borne with pa efeice, as Colonel Brown'hsd frequently' warned General Bragg that the presence of these ?Learners ould not be put up with. As she approached Fort Pickens opened upon her, when she zetreat ed at double quick time. The fire from Port Pick ens was immediately answered from Ihe rebel batteries, and the engagement became general. The firing was kept up throughout the day, and at ' night. Pickens maintained a slow lire linen the 18 Inch mortar, which was hotly returned by the nib' els. About 11 p. in., a fire broke out in the navy yard, which continued throughout the night, and trom the extent of the conflagration it is supposed that the greater part of the buildings in the navy yard have been deslroyee, and also the largerpart, if not all, the town of Woolsey, which is adjoining the navy yard on the north. The firing on both sides was remarkable for ita extreme simurracy. Shells in countless numbers fell inside of Fort Pickens, and It is wonderful that no lose was sustained. Our side returned the cow phment in equal proportion. The scene during the night wag magnificent in the extreme. Every shell °Maid be traced in its course through the air from the time it left the gun until it exploded: and this, In connection with the conflagration, rendered the whole afteur • sight such as Pcmamla, and but few other places, had never before witnessed.

Just before day our men at the upper batteries heard the sound of steam and commenced tiring by sound rightly supposing that it proceeded from the Pen• sackla, which, having been for some time "corner. ed" to Washlr gib; was trying to make her way out : Ihis was kept up all the way down as far as our . guns extended—some thirty-nine shots In all being thrown—but, it is believed, without success, inas much as she paused Aqua Creek, running very swiftly, and without any assistance.

Without meaning to criticise the blockade, we must be permitted to say that, as for efficiency, It is about as next akin to no blockade at a'l as could well be. On Saturday evening, as we learn from a gentle man who witneeseci the occurrence, three Federal steamers ran in near to ehore just off the farm of Withers Welters, Ere , and fired upon his dwelling each some six or seven times, the result being that the part next the river was completly stove in; and, indeed, the whole building was completely ruined. We further learn that the house was tin occupied at the time. Another infrrmant says It was the house of E. A W. Hooey Esq. The fact we suppose, is true that one or the other has eer tainly been demolished. The 'Union not to be Restored.
