~; ph Saturday last there was a Republi-
Ua caucus held iirthe Avenrie tionsein
1 ' hington, at which many leading men
1 0, that party were present, among whom
were Simon Cameron and Johri Covode,
rePennsylvania. The principal object of
this meeting appears to have been to for
really bring Covode before our people for
n ext e
Governor of our State. Gov.. Curtin
ielnot considered quite sound upon the
itinatincipation polioy of the administration,
!lid he is to be pnt to one aide in order tg
lolike way for that , pestilent demagogue,
4.lin Covode. - Mr. Owen. Lovejoy, the
hmy abolitionist of Illinois, was present
liatlthis caucus. When his time came to mak e
It Speech lie proposed the health of "John
,Tecit vode, the poor boy, the honest man;
41, -
'pity he be the nest Governor of Penissyl
.nia." John was too modest to , reply to
..,;
1 J 11,13 himself, and he called upon that im
riniculate patriot, W. B. Mann, to doit for
1 1i!tn. Mann talked a great deal about
44r, aliont traitors and treason, but never
;a lluded to Covode at`all. _ ''' '

NO MORE STATE MILITIA.
The attempt of the Federal authorities
at Washington to usurp the functions of
Governor Seymour, through the military
commander of the East, Gen. Wool, 181
I -
viewed with alarm by the citizens of that
'and other States. If the reportl be true
that the militia of New York will report
tcwand through Gen. Wool, and not the
oi:institutional, Commander in-Cgiet, the
Governor, then, indeed, has the lira step
been taken in the bloody drama ;of civil.
war in the North. To this the New York
World says:
"Were such, an attempt to be successful
it would go far to consummate that fatal
revolution in the relations of the Ameri
can people to their national executive
Which the radical faction has been labor
ing do assiduously to accomplish. To the
national strength and unity of action
against the public enemy of the Vnion
nothing can be, added by the consolidation
of all the military power of the nation in
the hands of ad administration which has
proved itself to be incapable of conduct
ing a great war ; while it would remove
from that- administration one serious and
important cheek upon its possible and
even probable thsposition to end that war
by an ignominious peace. It is through
the State governments and the lower
house of Congress alone that the will of
the people can now impose itself, consti•
tutionally, upoa the executive and its par
tisans. The reserve of the nation's mili
tary force, held within the grasp of the
States, is an element essential to the prom
ecution of the war. To surrender that
reserve into the hands of the administra
tion is to make the administrationot prac
14.ical despotism, and to leave it at liberty
either to carry on the war in a spirit and
for objects wholly foreign to the disposi
tion and incompatible with the convictions

PROM WASHINGTON
Well informed correspondents I from
Washington inform us that feari are felt
and expressed that the war eipenditures,
at the present rate, cannot be continued
for two years longer. The two atio three
quarter millions it day now required will
be enhanced in amount every month by
depreciation, unless, indeed, the war in its
progress should be attended with all the
particular successes desired for thelpres•
eat campaign by Mr. Seward in his letters
to Mr. Dayton.
Heavier taxation must be resorted,to in
order to sustain loans, and it may beceme
imprissible in some parts of the country
for the people to pay the internal tax a ts.---
Those imposed' 'in John Adatas'• ad
Intim' have not been entirely paid up.
Many are beginning to assume an early
cessation of active war, and the consequent
limitation of the amount of the public
debt, and a termination of the crisis.
Notwithstanding the vigorous resiit
alibi offered, as is reported, to the French
arms in Mexico, it is believed by military
men'that the French troops will enter, the
Mexican , capital bylthe middle,of Febru
ary. If that should be their chief success,
it might beinconchisitel of thiresult of
the invasion, but it is well known that
they have taken measures to secure pos
-1
eession of all the main stragetic pointi in
n! Mexico. They have the command , of
States in Northeaetern, Western and
Southern Mexico. They have the ports
on the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of Cali
l'ornia and the Pacific. They have Mazat
lan and Acapulco and Guaymas, and iPiil
loon,it,is supposed, take the important
. poiteof San Diego. .They have now pos
sessinn of ',the - Overland communication
across NortherntMexico. The Tehuante
pee banns is intheir halide. :fit
they have completely-enveloped the'Ms
ican States, by land and sea, and are now
about to seize upon all the stronghholds
in the interior. • I
The war department have sent out arms
and officers perfectly military, to enlist,
drill and put into action all blacks who
may rally at the new rendezvous to be
to be opened at Brunswick, Georgia.
In a few days, the House Committee on
Territories will report a bill for the
aion of Utah into the Union as a State. '
The bill provides for the abolition of,
polygamy and unless the delegate from
Utah should give this consent to his provi
sion being inserted in the bill,it will not be
reported.
A bill will shortly be reported in the
House for the erection of Shoshone Ter
ritory; which will include within its limits
that portion of territory formerly belonging
to Oregon and occupied by the:Shoshone
Indians.

mated that Mr. tills is a youthful lawyer
in Philadelphia, if this be. true, he will
not probably, f some time to come, add
any thing to the sum of proverbial astute
, um, which has always been accorded to ]
the Philadelphi , bar.
But as Mr. Stine's neat pamphlet comes
loudly heralded, and as it has - been
thought worthy of reproduction here, it is
evidently lookeupen as the beat that
can be done by th ose who believe that the
war has been pr P ro perly conducted, or con
ducted as well it could be, and that it
should go on for an indefinite period as it
it
it now progressin. In this view, per
haps the pamphlet should be noticed.
The writer of 'this pamphlet has evi•
dently read some history of the Peninsular'
War, (or several histories of it,) and'; of.
other wars besid with severe 'attention,
and he has discqered•that "the dentinci
i
ation of the government, so common
amongst us of lath, end the complaints of
the inactivity orthe army, have their
exact counterpar ' in the history of the,
progress of all thWars in which England
has been engaged since the days of the
t l \)
great rebellion.” And he discovers that
in all these wars E gland was "triumphal' '
except as against Ithe American -Revolu
tion. If, as the Whole world has long
believed,' England'first and greatest pur
pose was to put own the Napoleonic
fandly and its ide , we would suggest
that the war was not "triumphant." For
the heir of Napoleon reigns in France, in
spite of the thousands of lives she. sacri
ficed to prevent it, and the crushing bar
, den of debt underW ich she bends to•day,
caused by her &nide s efforts in that behalf.
The assumption that England saved
her own freedom b . those willful wars is
worthy of those pre osterous persons who
utter the sublime n osense—" if we do
not conquer the Sou h, the South will con
quer us . " 1
Of course, the paMphleteer takes for
granted that the wars of 'England against
Napoleon were necessary, useful and en
tirely just , and as ohr war with the South
is of the same chareter, he thinks it
could and should be maintained as long
as the English 'svara, and' at as ruinous a
coat. We should be very sorry to think
that the contest we e engaged in had
not more justifiablefoundation than the
wars waged by England against France.
The whole civilized i world now believes
them to be causeless,' as they were cer
tainly barren of good results to England
—tor though she coniquered Napoleon at
Waterloo, she did not conquer his opin
ions, nor drive hint { and his from the
hearts of the French nation.
But whatever was the declared purpose
of the English Ministry in fighting France,
they did not insult tb i b common sense of
the English people by wholly and openly
changing those,purposes. and still demand
the unconditional suPport of the nation,
as has been done kyle shameless usurp
ers who now prevail t Washington. In
July, 1861, three mouths after this war
begun, Congress, by a Vote of 166 to 1,
(or almost unanimously,) parsed the res-,
olutiona of Mr. Critten den, declaring that
the purpose of the war was not the subju
gation of the South nor the overthrowof the
institutions of any State. Remember that.
the programme of Jett Davis, as then
promulged, was know to Congress when
it voted, and has not been changed. He
holds to his purposes yet, as at first : and
in the Crittenden Reablutions the whole
loyal nation of all

ed that resolution, av wedly prosecuted
the war for other pposes, while the
ti.
people never did agreelto; and never have
agreed to—and impudently denounced
as traitors those who wore bold enough to
say they were deceived and defrauded I
They now wage war avowedly for subju-
gation—against the 14a1 institutions of
the States—and they have even gone so
far as to cut a State in two, contrary to the
exnress provisions of the Constitution.
The pamphleteer finds- in the two na
ticins the "same factions and disloyal op
position on the part of ajpowerful party ; '
the same violent attacks, upon the govern•,
mont for its arbitrary decrees, 4.tc., &c.,
but he does not seem tol realize that the
most daring invasion of free action, free
press and free speech, resorted to in mon
archical England was far exceeded by the ,
incapable usurpers at Washington, '
Mr. Stifle wisely intimates that we must
not "sneer nor cavil" t our administra
tion for its mismanageme tbf the war, be
cause the English .gester meat was short,
sighted and impraetica e in its policy ,.
was ignorant of war, c mmitted stupid
blunders, and issued ab urd and contra.
dictory orders, dp., dre.l,--just as our
selves have done. We begleave to be ex
cused from taking the adsfice of the oracu
larpamphleteer.
' Now we come to some withering inuen
does about thohe whose "factious spirit" is
intent on paralyzing the " energies of the
I government." Opposition to a ruling ad
ministration is a "hideous moral leprosy."
[There's a stunning phras e for you], and
much more of the same sort. But our
pamphleteer should haste a better memo
ry. A few pages back he' lled the oppo
sition a "powerful party 1 " nowEina-note,
he calls them an "insig Meant, restless
faction," and the, fact o that "restless
faction" eipionget ourselves is decided in
edvance, by saying that 'of the great
party who opposed the w r 2 no one ever
after rose to office or powe in England!' '
This is very discouragin r---but oh I Mr.
Stille, why did you not rembmber that the
14 a,
opposition (this 'restless filetion.") is in the
majority hero at this.. vary: -moment, and
that Seymour and Parke/ave just-been
elected Governors of New • 'ork,arict New
Jersey, and that Bimini-Cameron- was-de
feated by a Democratic the other dayi ' •
"wil. Pill him foiled and:4lloring bAk;
For all Lit Lags of gold" •
But our pamphleteer is a financier as
well as a historian. He confesses that
the thousand millions of debt that Eng !
land incurred was "appalling," but he
don't seem to have any fear of several
thousand millions for the United Statbs.
Bat he gives us thiapiece oil information,
which he out to lay before Mr. Chase im
mediately: That the troops of England'
were paid in gold; from which we are to
infer that the English ministry paid all
their 'war expenses in gold, and that they
did not corrupt their legal currency by
making bank not a legal,ltender I. nor
pay their bondholders in gold, while they
paid their soldiers in depreciated paper:
But we should be unjust to Mr. Stille if
we did not give him credit for vindicating
the American character against a fling of
Prince de Joinville, who said that they
were in the habit of allowing golden op-i
portunities to escape them. He also,.not ,
having the fear of the radicalls before his,'
eyes, suggests that our military o ffi cers ,
should have an "early military Attention."
Stille, in despite of the wretched radicals
who control the country, and who openly
seek the complete subjugation and uncon•
stitutional admission of the South—the
only "sort of subjugation," he says, "that
limy 'sane man thinks of, is to ldeattoy*

Perrsaulion, January 26, 1863.
To the Editor of the Post :
Deep Sin—ln looking over the Chroni
cle of the 24th inst., I see a communica .
tion over the siznature of Capt. Palmer, of
the Anderson Troop. In that article the
Captain seems to think had he been with
his Troop, the trouble he speaks of would
not have taken place. He (Capt. Palmer)
Leib us he recruited these men mostly
himself, and that said Troop he trained
well in Maryland, but censures them for
their conduct in Tennessee. Now, if Capt.
Palmer was the persins- and the cause of
.those young men enlisting in the Buell
Body Guard, and he has seen proper to
leave them
s so much, we, ac the parents
of these boys, would wish to know why it
was that he left these young men to act
in the capacity of a spy in rebel camps,
where he would have nine chances out of
ten of being captured. If the Government
had engaged bun as a, spy to leave his men
in. this way, we wo:d not have trusted
our. boys to his care. If he has taken o
himself to act as a spy , and leave the boys
without a leader, we twould hold him for
all the troubles occasioned by his absence.
We see by his first epistle from Baltimore
that he is still living, and in hie first breath
censures the very men that if he had been
with would have beed all right. Other
wise if he hall attended to his men instead
of taking a wild goose hunt through Dixey
all would have been 'right. When the
Captain will explain and justify himself
for leaving the men we entrusted to
leave this county under him; then and
not until then will the public relieve him
from the terrible responsibility which he
has placed himself and his men before the
world. Yours, dtc., B,
THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC
The able correspondent of the New
York Times, in commenting upon the
recent failure of the army to make a for
ward move, says :
"Thus ends an enterprise which had
every human promise of success, but
which has been baulked and brought to
naught by causes which mortal km could
neither have foreseen nor prevented.—
The fatal part played by the , elements
needs no comment. Whether this draw
back might not have been overcome by [
vigorous e f forts and hearty co operation
on the part of the military leaders, is a
[ question much mooted here. There
' are those who assert that. had it not been
for the apathy of some -in high places of
military command, we might still have
carried the This question. however,
is one more fit to be brought to another
bar than that of these columns.
"There is however, anothet point on ;
which "I tannin forbear to say a word.—'
One of our Washington telegrams, refer-'
ring to the causes of thelllte failure, says,
"The Quartermaidtar,:stinPpart.ont.
my - - n , - mr - un pu t' nt rap... 4.-6 •
being , executed, was behind with its sup
' plies. ' 1 have not scrupled in this cor
; respondence to use the privileges of eriti
cism to its fullest extent, and can the
reader say, therefore, that this is a total
misapprehension. Abundant supplies
were on hand, and there are at this mo
ment more than six million rations stored
here in convenient depots. Our chief
lack is not in the material, but the moral
order. We do not fail for want of food or
clothing, of ammunition or arms. The
army was never so well supplied with all
these things. No! The disease is of a
more subtle nature. It is in the blood
and brain. We want energy, capacity,
faith, devotion.
' 'Tie lo:f , of laid' our veins are sent."
The only compensation left us in the
face of the failure of a movement, which,
if made a week ago, would, in all proba
.bility, have been successful, is that we did
not succeed in making it at the present
tilme. If the storm which has stopped us
on the. North side of the Rappahannock
had embargoed us on the South side, what
is today only a misfortune, might have
been a sad disaster.

as agents for several newspapers, selling

unless they make saleS.

Treasury Notes would weigh over a ton,
and make a pile as high as the Washing•
ton monument. This will give you some
idea of the labor of preparing our Treasury
Note issue.
