DAILY POST. The Velem as it was; The Ceentitertion as it is! SATURDAY- MORNING, APRIL .19 TROUBLE HIGH PLACES It is certainly . discouraging and lament able toe think, that while the nation is con vulsed in its present stupendous struggle for existence, and the people are serious and apprehensive about the future, there oho* heWnything like intrigue or division among those who have the destinies of this govitriiinent entrusted to their- keep ing. Yet,--that jealousies, rivalries, and intrigues among the members of the Cabi net t#e-.'causing serious alarm is hinted at and affiiined. Besides, it is also said that some of the Cabinet are in collusion with envious officers in the service, whose joint effortskareinow being used for the speedy prostration of Gen. McClellan. Some names mentioned in these dark proceed ings,:we - are sorry to hear of; but when some.: public men, in this country, once conceives the idea of being President, there is no enterprise too great, or scheme too monstrous for their adoptioti. To the accomplishment of their ends all causes must-givevay. It is almost incomprehensible to think withz what ingenuity and malice General M'Otellati'is pursued by a portion of his conatimen. For every blunder, no mat ter in what division of the service it hap peits,'.he is held responsible ; while detrac tion ,ettleavors to rob him of every parti cle of credit when it is honestly his due:"Thia is poor encouragement for a yourdMid43.llant General_; it is enough to break. - -the-spirit of a practiced diplomat, wha..liisdlbeett all his life aecustomed to plots and intrigue.

Five years ago. 1 was invited by the Mayor of Southamptnn to meet the officers of a five thousand ton American frigate that had just arrived in thebay. The Times gave an accurate des cription this fine specimen of naval architecture, and the Emperor of Russia ordered WEBB to build the Genera/ Ad miral as a model for his navy. You know the history of the Merrimac—how she was sunk adNorfolk,burnt nearly to the water's edge, armor-planted. iron-prewed. and created into a huge war machine, upoti the ideas which BuCHaeax, the commander of the Washington Navy Yard, gathered from the unfinished Stevens Battery. So still has been the movement we had almost forgotton that such a ship existed—.when, Presto! James river is alive again —the Cumberland fires a broadside only to re ceive a fatal thrust limn her iron antage nisi—who. like Spanish Matador eit I, Spanish Bull. withdraws a litile—then another broadside—headlong plunges into the Cumberland, who bravely refired to strike her flag, and two hundred valiant men are with the fishes of the bottom of the sea! Like the soldiers who p r e sent ed arms when the Birkenhead went down in Algoa Bay. the men of the Cumberlaha sunk to rise no more in this world.-- Another broadside from the iron monster. and the Congress struck: for blond TOO deep upon her decks to fight —it ,vas n et war—it was murder !—Mill another bread side, and the Minnesota. Roanoke and se Lawrence would have shared the sane: happy fate, when, lo! a strange . t M rtie shaped craft startles the errimor s elm twin, compelling hint to let go hiss ex,,eet ed prize, and stand to arm. 4. .1 hey 6eteli , for five hours like two wild hoar,---now battery to hattery—now Laud hand the little war-ged gained the victor, HEENAN broke the arm of S.tvetts---a,,1 the _IL/1./note returned to stop I:er hdeed lug wounds.

The Monitor had two gnus, the Merrimac ten; the Moni tor had fifty men, the Merrimac five Imu dred, the Monitor is not twelve hundred tons burthen, the Warrior five thousand : the Monitor draws but eight feet ! tin - - Warrior twenty•eight ; the Monitor cost fifty thousand pounds., the {Ferrier Ike hundred thousand. The keel of the Monitor was laid in the Middle of October, she was launched in the middle of January, and before the middle of March demonstrated it principle ' that • has rendered valueless a hundred navies and a thousand line-of-battle ships. The Warrior was two years in building.— The wooden walls of England are buried with Canreta.t, who in poetry made their name immortal ; and TENNYSON, 1 trust, is already at work on the iron sides et . England, for Brittannia does need Bull works since the Monitor has rendered un safe her 'march the deep. The Moni tor has introduced a new epoch in naval history; already the French Minister has received the plans front our Secretary of War; already the Russian Legation have got the models, and Lord LYONS has al ready sent Lord Jolty RessEL plans for the Admiralty. You see that America is generous. We will not only send you the plans, hut the men to make the steamers, as we did to make the Enfield rifles. Who wonders at the astonishment of the , Times? How anxious NAPOLEON must be ,tp get to work, for the Monitor could steer . into Cherbourg and sink the navy of France. - For cannon halls rattle oft her bomb-proof deck like minuies on the side of a rhinoceros, or buck-shot off the cor rugated back of an alligator; the first naval power of to-day is America. Our navy consists of the Monitor,- but we have voted five millionesterling to build a hun dred during the next six months, some of which are to go, like STEVENS' Battery, fifteen miles an hour, and to throw Rud man shot—some one writes tu Laird— weighing hada ton. Do you know why you cannot fire over a hundred round shot without. bursting your Whitworths and your Armstrong. Let me tell you a secret —as you know I bear England the best of goodwill. It is because you have not learned the art of gunpowder; you have been spending your time on shot and shell, and cannon, and armed plates, but you still use the old fashioned small-grained powder, which has made the Armstrong gun a failure; (by the by, as your Govern ment has the monopoly of that gun, will some of you be kind enough to tell me where the -*mister got her two Arm strong from ?) Yes! you are not awake to the use of powderi When DUPONT was here, buying up the saltpetre, he seemed astonished at seeing large guns still loaded with small grained powder. Your War Department should know that during this war all our large guns were loaded with a kind of gun powder an inch cnba is size, which prim new pciwer to the promettle fact which your Admiralty shoul d lap node use of ow every page.

A r.trite, New Mexico, between Santa Fe and Fort l' Mon, March 30.—The cor respondent of the Missouri Republican says: Since I wrote you Colonel Slough's odunin. 1,300 strung, has advanced to Hogatt's Ranehe, 25 miles North of Santa. Fe. where they encamped. The enemy's strength was not known and they immedi ately engaged them. Major Crittenden of the Ist Colorado volunteers, and two com panies of I:. S. Infantry under Capt. Lew is, were sent to the Battelle to WI upon them. Colonel Slough, according to pro granttne. gave way gradually, which left the supply train of the rebels unsupported which Major Crittenden and Capt. Lewis easily captured, together with about fifty loaded wagons, which were burned, and 1 twenty prisoners and one 2-pound howit zer taken from us at Fort Craig which was spiked by our troops. Col. Slough's command then fell back to •a strong position. Our trophies are 100 prisoners, privates and officers, from 100 to 200 killed and wounded, one Major and two Captains, &c. Our loss is about IS or 20 killed including Lieutenant Baker, Colorado Volunteers, and 30 or 40 wound ed; three or four officers were also wound ed. It is supposed the rebel Gen.. Sibley will advance upon Colonel Slough with his entire force, from 9,000 to s,ooo,strong, and that Colonel Slough will fall back up on the trenches at Depot Union.. . At last accounts Col..Canby had not left Fort Craig with Col. Slough's command, it is believed he can hold Fort Union against any force the rebels can Milk against it. The whole command engaged on our side behaved with signal gallantry and coolness, both.. volunteers and regu lars.

These assertions were generally believed, and no .me had the hardihood to dispute these f dsehoods. The Judge gives much informationlof interest relative to Arkansas matters.— I;ov. Rector is bitter and wolfish. He called an extra session of the Legislature, but it was three weeks before a quorum was present. In his message he recom mended an act to be passed punishing, with heavy tine, any person who even ex pressed doubt of the success of the Con federate arms, and, that a second offense be declared felony. An act was pissed imposing a tax of thirty dollars per bale on cotton, thus thvoring the production of grain to the discouragement of cotton raising. Col. Wright, of the iBth Mo. Cavil Try, returned to Cussville on the evening of the oth. having made a successful expedition with tour companies of his command through the Southwest corner of the State. All jayhawking bands in that locality were d ispersed. Several skirmishes took place, which resulted in the death of several prominent rebels. 125 prisoners were captured. all of whom, except the leaders and some 25, were released on taking the oath of allegiance. A number of horses were captured, together with 122 head of cattle, 327 bushels of wheat, and 4,500 pounds of bacon. All rebel gangs, not captured, were driven, by Col. Wright, down to Standivaity, a point on the line of the Indian territory, 25 miles below Neosho. It is reported that a body of rebels, GOO strong, are encamped between Cowskin and Buffalo Creek, and Pike is at the head of 1,500 Indians, 15 miles below. .110. From Washington. W.tsnixtirox, April 18.—The Select Committee to inquire into the surrender of the Norfolk Navy Yard, Made a report to day. They censure the Buchanan adminis tration severely for its neglect, and say that the present Administration cannot be blameless for suffering thirty-seven days to elapse after it came into power before mak ing any movement for the the defense of the yard. The Committee censures Commodore Paulding, Capt. Pendergrist and Clipti McCauley, and say in conclusion that the nation should learn that pusillanimity in the defense of our rights may be as injuri ous as the assaults of our enemies. - The t;:dlowin. , order has been issued : War Department, Adjutant General's Of !ice, Washington, April IS : In the pres ent condition of Military operations at Yorktown, no passes can he given to per sons not immediately connected with the troops in a military capacity.

The fields and woods and roads are full of the suns of the land of Penn. - The Advance. .The rebel lines, prior -to this advance, approached Newport. News within six miles, the nearest picket being at Watt's Creek, close by which is located a Captain Smith, at whose mansion it was no uncom mon thing for secession offieers to break fast and Union officers to dine, the verita ble Captain assuming the character of a neutral, thereby ensuring the preservation. of a fine property. The pickets tired here without exchanging a shot, and fell back with a detachment posted in lre vicinity, to Young's Mill, a quaint little structure on whose bucketed wheel a rivulet plashes its lively current. At this spot entrench ments and earthworks have existed for some time, and the fortifications look not a little formidable. Here, too, troops in considerable force have been quartered in quite comfortable barracks. COndition of the Country. The country, for six miles from New port News, is entirely desolate, scarcely a roof remaine, the rebels having long ago, in pursuit of their plan of sell-destruction, applied the torch to everything. The plow rusts in the furrow and the cattle have been slaughtered or driven front the rank pastures. Within the late secession lines, in from Watt's creek forwards, an other state of affairs has prevailed until recently. True, 'dwellings have. been burned everywhere; but their embers still smoulder, and at almost every turn you pass the reeking carcass of an untimely butchered co* or ox. Many fields have been•pur in a condition for tillage, and evidence is apparent on all sides of the conviction of security the population pos sessed, imagining that the puissant arm of the Almighty ``old Jack Magruder" could withhold,the."Yankee pups" till dooms day. • In many instances families., the female, portion remain,where tenements have been left standing. Their concern forTathers, husbands, sons or brothers, in the secession lines is - pitiable in thr ex treme. Secesailon Resoureep. I had it froth what I know to be good authority, that the Quartermaster—a Cheeveri from Boston—of the secession forces at Young's Mill, had made his cou• tracts for the spring quarter for flour, at four dollars and fifty cents per barrel.— Provisions are reported abundant and cheap among the rebels, and such articles as are of-Southern produce are amazingly low, as sugar for instance, which sells at three cents per pound. Clothing—home made of Battey and flannel ;andjeans—is plenty;St'briots and.shoes are scarce.— Salt, atsopiacomeatable, and, in short-'the rebels fiattitithemsetves they can com mand itOkiii(Z4iii for their armies adequate to any period.of time. Strength offinde Present Stand. The works commencing on the James river side extend, except where water in tervenes in ponds or dams, and fortitica- don are unnecessary, clear across the pen insula to York river. Some, as those on the, right of their line at Lee's Mill, and perhaps all, are casemated, and are pro nounced the veil. strongest and best earth• works yet erected in this country. Never theless they - have been. busy making them stronger, MI the slaves in the entire coun try having been collected within, and put at Work upon them. They :are occupied by all-the available force of the enemy— troops from Richmond, troops from Man assas, and troops from Norfolk being con centrated to oppose the passage of_M'Clel-- lan. The most reasonable estimate I have heard of their number sets it down at no less than one hundred thousand. They will make a stand, but they will retreat be- fore they suffer much; we can infer logic illy from the fact that they have made -ev ryarrangement to occupy works deemed sticinger naturally, twelve miles back, at How tike Week has been Em 3ployed. A continual skirmishing has been going on during the week, in which Berdan s and the Sharpshooters of all regiments, have been engaged--4he fosa fi cations indulging most of the time in a Leavy cannonade, which, notwithstanding the proximity of our trontis hai not been veili effective. The roads being in an almost impassa ble conditiOo,4he. commissary stores, am- munition, ke., arrived tardily, and it was found perfect:y impracticable to bring up siege trains, or 'monk guns of proper cali bre in proper positson to attack the works. The time has therefore been employed in preliminaries; new roads through the 'dense woods have been made,- old ones" have been repaired, and the • arrangements essential to a successful demonstration have been carefully. completed. • All this while the army endured the greatest privations, hardships unknown to OA campaign on the Potomac, subsisting, ou nothing for a day and more, and then receiving, for two in succession, in many regiments, but two crackers and about two inches of baCon.
