Wm. R. Strachan, a prominent member
of the Legislature, who has been under
arrest on charges preferred against him
while acting as Provost Marshal of North
Missouri, last summer, and since at large
on parole, has been ordered to St. Louie
for trial next week.
The Chicago Journal sayß that the Illi

No more freight will he received until fur

It is probable that Mr. Stevens will be

time to have him put at the head of the
Comm;'.'_fee on Foreign Relations in order
that Mr. Washbl’rne might be honored
with th 3 Chairmanship of the Ways and
Means, II is that this project is
abandoned.
Among the many home trurbe told by
John M. Botts, in hia letter to the Rich
mond Examiner, he said : ‘‘There is not
one of those who aided to bring this war
on, that '-r-i’d d : it, if, with their present
experience, .t had to be gone over again,

There are, perhaps, r.-ofe printers i:i

on his way. we nuderstaod, to attend the
present session of Congress, he having,

Dr. Barclay of Philadelphia, ao well
BDd favorably known for his untiring de
motion to the wants of our soldiers, espe
cially the Bick, woonded and prisoners,
left Fortress Monroe, by the flog of truce
boat on the 10th instant, for City Point,
hoping to get permission to go to Rich

fortunate prisoners.
General Hai.lece censures (Jf-neral
Meade, in the lollowing terms, lor permit
ting the escape of Lee from Pennsyiva
ilia : ‘‘Halting a day at Middletown, Gen
eral Meade crossed the Sontk Moantain,
and on the 12:h of July ionnd the enecuy
occupying a strong position on the heights
of Marsh run. f rou ; o( WiJliamaport.
Instead of attacking Lee in this position,
with the swollen waters of the Potomac
in his rear, without any means of crossing
hut artillery, and when a defeat mast have
caused the surrender of his entire army,
he was allowed time to construct a pon
toon bridge with lumbar collected from
canal touts and the rums ot wooden houses,
and on the morning ot the 12th his army
had crossed to the south side of the riv
er.” This is plain talk.
It is known that efforts are making at
New York to start a huge National Bark.
We believe the intention is to start it with
five millions uf d..liars, with the intention
of ultimately increasing the amount, per
haps, to fifty millions ot dollars. There
is already $2,0u0,000 of the capital stock
subscribed, m.d Kr „ ; . t , fforiB Me
made to make up tt.- balance. This bank
will receive large f rom contract
ors, and all those doing tue.ir.f aa with the
Government. The policy of this institu
tion will be to oiii-uurage inflation in
stocks and prcdaco, as it will be under the
immediate patronage cf Mr. Chase, who
is anxious to bring down the market pri
ces of all the necessaries of life. This
new policy is essential to a more econom
ical administration of the Government, as
well as to gain flavor with the laboring
classes, who find it difficult even with the
recent advance in yages to live as well as
before the war.

Jb7P*RBok Datib, in hie message to
the rebel Congress does not attempt to
disguiße the fact of the present year hav
ingbeen terribly disastrous to the bu ocean
of his rebellion; but he adroitly argues
that their reverses should only stimulate
them to more determined resistance. It
is with them hi argues a question of in
dependence, or utter subjugation and
slavery, if they fail. Governor Letcher,
too, in his late message, to the Virginia
Legislation, echoes the sentiment of
Dayts; and, notwithstanding the serious
disasters which have overtaken the insur
gent cause, he breathes defiance to our
arms, and a certainty of its final triumph.
Speaking of Virginia, Letcher remarks :
‘•Look at the picture on all sides and
it presents encouraging features. If we
are only true to ourselves —to the cause,
the country, we cannot be overthrown.
If there is a man who doubts the success
of the struggle, if there be such a one, be
is a traitor at heart, who deserves to be
cast out from among us.

“Kneeling around the altar of their
country, her sons will swear allegiance
to her fidelity to the Confederate Gov
ernment, and their prayers will ascend to
Heaven for blessings on Virginia and the
Southern Confederacy.”
When we reflect that Virginia was
among the last of the States in rebellion
to accept the hereey of secession, and
that since the war began she has been the
principal sufferer, we are inclined to
wonder that her retiring Chief Magistrate
should breath a spirit of sacli lofty de
fiance. The territory of that ancient
commonwealth has been dismembered,
until there State jurisdictions hold away
within her limits. Her rich fields have
been trodden under foot by the prancing
of hostile cavalry; her teeming harvests
have given place to blast and desolation;
the blood of thousands of her slain sous
has poisoned the earth which drank it,
and yet her Governor —one of the last in
Virginia to yield to secessio n —speaks in
his last message to his people telling
them that if “they are but true to them
selves they cannot be overthrown.” This
spirit and confidence must be the result
of desperate counsels, not the offspring of
cool deliberation. Instead of their being
calculated fo dishearten the friends of the
Union, we take them as being the vapor
ing of one whose brain has been turned
by the very calamity which he both de
plores and defies.
There are some indications, however,
from the South, going to ehow that there
is a rapid c hange going on in that seen rj,
in regard to the rebellion. Neither tln
spirit ot Davis or of Letchee animates
many, who. at the beginning of the rebel
lion, were the most intense in their deter-
mination lor independence and sr p,»r,
lion. The recent demonstration ol Heni
S. touTB, in the rebel Congress, o:
of the most i iro□ reginp signs >; f t‘r
Be is r'presen ted as follow? :
“in the rebel Co rgn on the Bth, Mr.
rcoTE, of It-nnesfiee, in a speech said
that the Prebident never visited the array
without, doing it injury. Never has he
visited any of our armies but what it has
been followed by disaster. He charged
him with having ruined the country, and
he would meet his champion anywh-rt- to
discuss it.”

Foote, conrists in the fact of his bring
g:r! (; the moat adroit trimmers and dec. i
goffu--* ill she country. He is possessed
oi that sharp instinct which snuffs uf.
danger from afar, nod which enables him
to escape approaching political danger.
Were he satisfied of the probable or pos
sible success of the Southern Confed
eracy he would be its boldest champion:
perceiving its shrunken proportions be is
preparing to lend in its internal prostra
tion. In IRSO. he mounted the Union
cause in Mississippi; he had previously
encountered Jeek. Davis in the United
States Senate upon the coaipromi°e meas
ures of that year; their contest was re
moved to their Slate, each becoming the
gubernatorial candidate o( bis respective
party. After a most vigorous contest
Foote triumphed over his o p-ment.
After outliving the liking ot the
people of his State, he removed to
California, where he became a furious
Know-Nothing; he was one of that keen
set who pretended to see great danger to
our institutions from foreign influence,
which influence consisted in the arrival
every year in this country of a few unfor
tunate immigrants whom poverty had
driven to oar shores. Know Nothingism
not paying in California, Foote returned
to Tennessee. In the Presidential con
test of 1860 he went for Belt, and Ever
ett; and he resisted secession as loug as
he was safe in doing ao; but, as soon as
the rebels got ihe upper hand be Went
with them. Now, that Teumsseo has
been badly Bhaken by the Union succ. s
sion, Foote is again about to jump to the
popular cause. Soch men, like wiather
cocks, are sure to indicate the diiectiou
in which the wind is blowing, and in this
instance we regard Foote as the politics
thermometer indicating the condition o:
the SouLhern cause
We have heretofore neglected, as we
shonld, to notice the appointment of
Colonel A. S. Morgan of this city to the
position of military store keeper at the
Allegheny Arsenal, vice Major John B.
Bt thr resigned. We are pleased to see
the appointing power conferring some of
its favors upon those who were disabled
for life in the cause of the CJnion.
koung Mbugan was among the first to
respond to the call of the President. Af
ter entering the service he suddenly arose
from ran* to rank, until the desperate bat
tlo of Fair Oaks, he, us Colonel of his
regiment, leading it in the thickest of the
fight, received what was considered his
death wound. For .fifteen months he liu
gered between life and death, but
i ‘-mu is now
happily recovered. He is a worthy young
soldier, and his appointment to the poai
tion of oar Arsenal confers merited credit
upon the War Department.
While congratulating Col. Mobgah upon
his good fortune, we can not refrain from
giving expression to regret at the retire
ment of Major Bctleb. But having al
ready reached a mellow old age, he felt
himself justified in retiring from farther

r.t Richm-ond. g.vir-g as a teason for the
refusal th.* unwarranted statements of cer
tain Northern journals to the effect that
the supplies were appropriated by the Con
federates. Letters from our prisoners
have already shown how groundless such
accusations were, and it is to be hoped
that this misunderstanding will SO on b
cleared up. With regard to the bad con
dition of the prisoners returned to Annap
olis, it is averred that they were extreme
cases of consumption, and the rebel a*ent
thought it a grave error on the part of the
authorities to have allowed them to return.
An Exchange says:—Which is easier,
to create an abolition party in the South
or in the N orth? In the North, one would
presume; but it was found impossible
to soufce even the North over bead and
ears in abolitionism at coco. The Repub
lican party has steadily tended towards
abolitionism from the beginning; bu l even
to this day ifdurst not risk an election on
the naded afcoli'ion issue. What, then,
can Mr. Lincoln bo thinking of in pre
senting that naked issue to the South?
V-hy does he not imitate the prudent can
ning of hi:i party in the North and manage
his io 1 i l l ca ur.der a lees odiouß flag?
The South is act likely to swallow with
out dilution a dose which nauseates
even Northern stomachs. The Repub
licans carried all the recent elections
on the prosecution of the war, pure
and simple, conscious that they would 67
erywhere he beutr-n if they dared to offer
an abolition front. But Mr. Lincoln jre
senU the hock *o the South, with-
out any bait to cover it; sorely no man
out of an insane asylum can expect it to
b n swallowed. He has rendered a Union
party in the Scuta impossible by miking
