The conduct of the Administratim and Congress, and the Abolition party generally in relation to the Monroe doc trine, is positively disgraceful to American people. Oar readers will re member that Congress, at its last ses sion, passed a resolution reaffirming oi.r traditional policy regarding monarchy upon this continent. This was, of course, aimed, at Napoleon's usurpations in Mexico;, but no sooner was the resolu - tioi^ passed and published, than the Ad ministrating, through Mr. Seward, Sec retary of State, wrote to the French Minister, that the action of Congress was of upfconsequence, whatever, and that ihe President would pay no attention to its proceedings. This conduct upor the part of Mr. Seward was shamefully humiliating, and showed him to be ut terly destitute 'oT that high and loti \ patriotism which was the chief charac teristics of sdine of his predecessors Think of Daniel Webster, or Wm. L. Marey writing to the French Minister as Seward aid! : Among the few Republican members of Congress who have the manhood to dis sent from the Administration’s conduct, iu reference to the subject in question, •is H -nry Winter Davis, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations. On Monday last he accordingly introduced the following resolution, which was. on motion of Mr. Farnsworth, of Illi nois, a confidant of Mr. Lincoln, tab led by a vote of sixty-six yeas, to sixty three nays: Betolvtd, That Congress has a constitutional right to an authoritative voice in declaring and prescribing the foreign policy of the United Stat-n, as well as in the recognition powers as in other matters; and it is the cored tuttonal duty of the President to respect that policy, not lees in diplomatic relations than in the use of the national force when authorized by i&w, and the propiiety of any declaration ot foreign poiiey by Congress ia sufficiently prov ed by the vote which pronounces it, and such proposition, while pending and undetermined, t not a fit topic of dipk matte explanation with any foreign power. So astounded was Mr. Davis at the result of this vote that he promptly tendered his resignation, as chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, which was not, however accepted. Here again we see the power of the Adminis tration in Congress, strangling a resolu tion. which is but expressive of the sense of the entire American people. Four Years Kxpertenee. Four years ago last Friday the seces sion movement <>i the South assumed an open and formidable character. South Carolina leading off in an ordinance, withdrawing herself from the Urrion;bm at that lime Bhe was the only State in which there existed anything like unan imity in favor of establishing a South - era confederacy. The three-fourths of the people, and one-half of the public men of the Sonth were then in favor of the Union, and had our Administration encouraged them they would have been able to resist and defeat the disunion ists, without calling upon the ihyai States to-assist them; But. Abolition ism desired blood; a little •'bloodlet ting” they contended would do us good, and*the J*. and the country have had" ii to their heart’s content. The Cincin nati Inquirer says it is well to ask the question, after these four years of nn paralleled slaughter and devastation what has been accomplished by it. L the reader perase and look back am : answer the question himself. But what are the promises of the future? These are grave interrogatijves, that are worthy of the most serious public reflections. Are not the seceded Stales more unite in resistance now than they were foil years ago? Are they not animated bt more intense passions of undying hat of their old political associates? Havi tdey not now, what they did not hav i i December, 1860, large ami finely dis ■ iplined armies, well armed, and led 1 aide Generals? Are they not infinite] better prepared to continue the struggl than they were when our coerciot friends, upon looking at them, c.onsid ered that they were so weak that theii resistance would be but a sixty dayß’ affair in opposition to our armies? Font years ago, the State of Virginia, by an immense majority, was opposed to se cession. She stands to day the Ajax of secession—the most powerful by far of all the States that rally around their flag. Necessity of Betreuchmeut* The President, in his late message, doesn’t think a people in debt to them selves are at all in trouble, and con cludes that we can carry on war for an indefinite period without feeling its burdens or hardships. But this view is so trifling and absurd as to be beneath criticism. , Even ths .organs of the Pres ident’s party treat it with derision ami. contempt. Among these, the partlculai organ of Mr. Seward, the New York Times, calls upon Congress to retrench ,our expenses in every way possible; it remarks that we are spending at a fright ful rate. Onr taxes are stretched almost to the extremity. The gold bearing loan 9 will soon come to an end from the limit- fixed by the gold returned in duties. New loans will be placed and readily taken, but they cannot meet probabjy one-half of our daily expendi • turc. Production itself—the measure of our wealth—is already feeling the effect of the loss of labor, and has di minished most important cereals about seven per cent, during the last year, instead of increasing as we had hoped it would do. “It is true that the most remarkable and fortunate develop ment of onr mineral resources during the 1 last three years, in the produce of the mines of Colorado and Nevada, and the sudden discovery of petrolenm in immense . quantities, give ns much hope for the future. Still we are spend- ing on a gigantic,, scale. There is a • ~:DBUIB’S^ETTERB. limit even to the pj&wer of this nation M «ene.«t in bearing a public'debt.

Of the crushing 6f~ thcTrebeltion there can be no doubt bat it may be gained, through the destruction of the pi&lic. credit.

We are pleased to see that this ac complished young officer, who is the son of Mujor John Banders, deceased, and grandson- of one Yenernble fellow citizen Judge Wilkins,has been promot ed to be a Brevet Major in the regular P I army. Gen. Bosecrans in His Own Do The Cincinnati Commercial , ot Thurs day, contained a paragraph under the head o “Roaecrans aud Steele,” in the letter of a correspondent, setting forth that Gen. Rosecrans was relieved be cause of the comparative failure of the Missouri campaign. The General has written a letter to the Commercial , which appeared yesterday, in which he makes ah unqualified denial of all the charges made against him in the public prints lie refrained from responding to charges of a like nature, made last year, from it sense of duty to the country, but now he has come to the conclusion that for the same reason it is his duty to diabuse the public mind in reference to the charges of his slanderers. He denies that he disobeyed the orders of the President, or of any other superior ofli cer; that he never used opium in any form but aB a medicine, and that but raiely; that he has been addicted to in temperance, or that ho was sub ject to “a disabling, mental disease.” He charges the paternity of the slanders upon "a former attache of the Chicago Tribune office, who had some position in the office of one of the Assistant Sec - retaries of War, and that the same fel low afterwards wroto and published a lying article in the Washington Star , to do away with the bad eflectof “Agate’s” “authentic statement ,” which was not. sufficiently “down on 1 osecrans” to suit his enemies, by stating “it is now pretty well ascertained that ‘authentic statement’ was prepared in Cincinnati.” The General says that doubtless the Government had reasons for relieving him of the command of the Department ofthe Missouri, but throws himself upon his record. The Way the Money Goes. The Washington correspondent of the- Chicago Tribune, (Lincoln organ,) says that Greo Adams, late Auditor of the Postofflce Department, and John F Sbarretts, his chief clerk, had been in the habit of selling the waste paper of the Department, which accumulates very rapidly, to dealers, and puttingthe mon ey in their own pockets. During three years they have sold over $5,000 worth, not one dime of which have they ever paid into the Treasury. They even went farther. They cut down the wa ges of the laborer who bad been em - ployed to prepare the paper for selling, from forty dollars a month to fifty dni lars a quarter. They said that in the present rebellion, when the country was reeling under such a terrible load- of ex pense and debt, it was the duty of every public officer to save what he could to the Government, and make all the sac rifices possible to save his bleeding country. They therefore, with great reluctance, docked the poor devil's wa geß twenty dollars aquarter, and mourn fully put the same in their pockets They divided their ill-gotten gains, and left not a word nor a scratch of li pen in the office to indicate to Uncle Sam that they were grateful to him for this special mark of his favor. The new Auditor, Mr. Sells, discov ered this business operation, when Sharratts paid over his half of the mon ey. Adams has not yet paid over. He is now cotton agent at Nashville! What are the Expenses of the Government a Day. The Democracy, during the Presi dential eanvass, charged that the ex penses of the Government were at least $3,000,000 a day,and some of our speak ers and journals put the figures as high as $4,000,000. This was denied by the friends of Lincoln, who claimed they were less than $2,000,000 per diem. What are the facts of the caset The Secretary of the Treasury in his recent report, says; The expenditure for the first quarter ending September 30, 1864, were fol lows: Civil service Pensions and Indians War Department Navy Department [Merest on public debt. Total, exclusive ot principal of public debt....'. $363,061 861 3. Divide the sum by 92,‘the number of days, and we have $3,837,737 as the ex penditure of each day. Each of the items of expenditure is a rising one; and there is no doubt that the cost of civil, military and uaval service, the expenses of pensions and the interests on the pub lic debt, rising in volume with eacif quarter; and that the daily expenditure now exceeds $4,000,000, and will.by the end of the fiscal year, reach $5,000,000.

V I do no.t suppose it would be possible ! to deceive the readers of the World Into 'the belief that the recent movement ol General Warren toward Weldon was a success; but I Imve the facts which will convince them, on the other hand, that the movement has entirely failed to ac complish the objects Ibr which it was designed, and which, not only- Geuerhl Grant himsolf believed, but the-loyal public at the North had a right to ex pect, woulcPbe accomplished by it. Tlx movement, which was commenced on the 7th inst„ was made by the whole ol the Fifth corps, the Third division ol Hancock's corps, and General Gregg’s division of cavalry, the whole, sorne what over twenty thousand strong,com manded by General Warren. The ex pedition had not started an hour before its route and strength were known to General Lee. Telegraphic dispatches were even sent from Petersburg on the morning oT the Btb, to the Richmond newspapers, containing a correct state ment of tbe bodies of troops concerned in the movement, and the roads on Which they were marching. The resuli ofthe measures which were immediate lytaken by General Lee to baffle the movement will appear presently. Tile Expedition Provisioned to r a ten Days March, One of the most remarkable features about the expedition is the amount of rations and stores which the troops took with them. The Baltimore American of the 18th inst. says, “the column was provided with such an amount of stores as indicated that they were prepared for a long march." A drove of fine beel cattle was among these stores, and the Richmond Dispatch of the 10th expresses the hope that some of this fine beef may be turned over to the confederate com missariet; a hope which was not real ized. Great Expectations, North and South. It would he useless to deny that the public were led to expect great things of this expedilfon. Tbe Baltimore American , aslate as December 13, round ly asserted that “it has more significance and importance than was at first sup posed,” that it was an independent ex peditinn, striking at once sonlh, des tined first for Weldon,, and perhaps ul timately for Wilmington ” And this was but tbe spirit aud quintessence of the assurance that had filled all thepnn cipal Republican papers for four days previously. The Richmond newspapers, too, embodied the facts which they bad learned i.bout the expedition in articles like this,from the Dispatch of December 10: In sending out this column Grant pur posed more than one of those flying expeditions known as raids. He design ed establishing a new biseat a point which should deprive us permanently of the use of the Petersburg and Weldon railroad, and, at the same time, threaten Wilmington. Weldon was, doubtless, the point selected. If he succeeds iu gelling there and fortifying himself, he will hope to supply his troops by tbe Roanoke liver, or by rebuilding the sui lolk railroad. Real Design of (lie Movement There was a deeper design than this in view however. General Grant had recently received strong reinforcements General Lee's army had licen dcpleli d by at least ten thousand troops 6ent to Savannah; the Dutch canal was finish ed, and only wanted to have its head blown off—blown out, 1 mean; and a large and well-appointed fleet waited near City Point for the signal to co-op crate in the grand attack ou Richmond. Everybody had been told to believe, as plain as Republican newspapers could speak, that "the time had come" .for the doomed rebel capital to fall. "Fortu [ nate was it for the country,’ - exclaimed one of these weather-cocks of Republi can opinion, “that the burning of the steamer Greyhound, in the James river, , did not deprive us of the services of Butler ashore and Porter afloat.” (Why, unless Butler ashore and Porter afloat were about to do something?) “The good people of Richmond," continues the same paper, "will find that city a warm place of residence before Christ mas ” Horens of articles like these prove that Warren's movement was re garded, and not unreasonable under the circumstances, as the initial step to ward a grand combined and final land and naval attack on Richmond What Gen. Waureu Actually Accom plished. Such, no doubt, It was intended; and such it would doubtless have proved, had it been successful. But it failed; and now the attempt is being made to prove that it was never intended to ac complish much anyhow, and that it was only intended to destroy a few miles more of ihe already-destroyed-uorthern terminu? of the Weldon roilroad. For General Warren’s corps has returned to their camp near Petersburg, and that is all, positively all, that t.as been done. Reasons of the Failure or the Hove meat. It was no fault of General Warren, or of his brave soldiers, that they were unable to accomplish more. Their con duct on the occasion was beyond a 1 praise. The reasons of the failure of the movement were these: Ist. The heavy and severe storm of rain, snow and sleet, which set in soon after the expedition had started; which of itself caused the failure of one of Burnside’s and one of Hooker’s campaigns on the Rappahannock in 1861 or '6B. 2d. The fact that General Lee was aware of the movement in time to send a superior force to confront Warren at Hicksford, which he did on the 7th and Bth. Bd. The fact that the co-operative move ment of General with a division of the 2nd corps, to Hatcher's Run, on the 9th inst., was made two days' too late, and with not one-third enough men. When they reached their desti nation on the 9th, the troops whom they had been sent there to keep away from Warren, were already at Hicks ford. Warren Brought to «. Full Stop at Hicksford $8,712 422 61 4,936,179 SI 286,200.286 £»* 83,292,910 49 19,9*1,004 46 Hicksford, your reacers will see, is on the south side of the Meherrin river, which Warren did not cross at all When he arrived at the river, a recon noissance disclosed the fact that the en emy’s position was too strong to be carried, and that, strong as the rebels were, they were still receiving rein forcements from Richmond; the very re inforcements which General Miles had been sent to Hatcher’s Run to intercept. Contenting himself with destroying a depot, and a few miles of track, there fore, General Warren returned to camp without effecting what General Grant desired. The Cost Not Counted It was a most remarkable admission of the Secretary of the Treasury, that if the people in the beginning of the war had known what it was going to cost, in men and money, they would not have embarked in it. This may apply to the mass of the people, but it does not to the Enquirer. We foresaw the results and consequences of this struggle, and upon our belief of what has since taken place we opposed it. We were subjected to a great debt Of - abuse ■ and -condemnation form MK Fessenden's friends, because as it is now admitted, we had a clearer view of the nature of the contest than they had.. The people were led into the war blindfolded ! A Famous Disfivf The London correspondent of tl»q* Frovidencet/burnai says: Eogland lft famous for a keen percep tion of tke-fanlta ofother nations, (or motton chops, Tor gooseberries, and for whitebait; but for me the glory of whie balt is departed. J have entertained for many yeras a lohgingjjj indulge in b whitebait dinner; buf kdowing it to be that whereon the parliainenlary lords,* for centuries past, have annually regaled themselves at the termination of their sessions, I scarcely dared to indulge the bopethat my democratic purse Would hie able to stand the pressure. However taking advantageof a liberal fit that hap’ peued to attack me at the time of a cor pulent purse, 1 determined that, even i l penury attacked me in revenge at a fu ture day, I’d have some whitebait. Ho with a loTdly air, 1 walked into the “Royal Cheese” and took up a paper; but whatthe paper was, or what was in it, Ido not know, nor did I care,-ftp- the reckoning of the rich repast I was about to indulge in drove every other thought in a very small corner, if not entirely out. Soon a waiter appeared with "Or l der, sir!—jnd I ordered whitebait! 1 imagined the waiter looked a little as tonished and that he was unDsually n - spectlul in view of having caught a stray lord, or a uscintillaline from the House of Commons; but he had caught neither; it was simply an American ‘sovereign,” whoi in a fit of extravagance, was bent on having at least one whitebait before he died. I held my breath as the waiter arrived with a largo dish, which he un covered, and darted off. I was thunder struck—with small fishes. At a “rough guess” I should think there were some where abont four thousand! It appeared to me that the .fellow had I understood me as having ordered the annual parliamentary whitebait dinner, and I thought of calling him back, bin remembering that a countryman of mine once ordered a plate of hot-house straw berries, and how the waiters chuckled prematurely over the man’s astonish ment when he came to pay two shillings a piece for them; and how when lie I found it out, he immediately ordered another plate and then walked off in I triumph, I called my pride to the rescue I and resolved to see the thing through, ii it shook the very fonndation of my purse. I took up my fork, bnt there came another question, were they spo.m victuals or otherwise? They were, vil lianously small of their age, say from half an inch to an inch and a hull in length; interspersed with diminutive shrimps, juvenile crabs and baby lob sters. “In for a penny in lor a pound,” I and I had ordered cauliflower as a sort of weitebait priming—this latter being a hot-bouse luxury, and, of course, a con sistent dish. The young chubs were served up perfect—head, tails, scales, etc , and were devoured by platoons, of from three to seventeen at a mouthful; but though tbe attack was made with vigor and determination, I was forced to give up tbe contest, leaving about Bix hundred triumphant on the plate. I then summoned all my pride, and the waiter, when the following brief dia loene took place: “How much?” "Whitebait, shilling; cauliflower, two pence, air,” which I paid, and left; and will merely say, in conclusion, that England Is miserably poor in respect lu animated nature.” Reminiscence of Gen. Jackson. Mr. Rives was a worshipper of Gm Jackson, with whom he was on the most intimate terms, as publisher of the Globe, then edited by Mr. Blair, and the acknowledged organ of tbe Old Hickory No man was better acquainted with the eventful administration of General Jackson than Mr. Rives was, and I have sat in his office hour after hour listening to reminiscences Among these were the attempts made at differ eut times by Mr. Van Bureo, At torney General B. F. Bntier, and others, to tone down and modify Jackson’s messages and proclamations On one occasion—it was in the message of De cember Bth. 18?,';, on the French indemnify—Gen. Jackson had written; “The honor of my country shall never be stained by an apology by me for the statement of truth and the per formauce ol duty; nor can I give any explanation of my official acts, except such as-is due to integrity and justice, and consistent with the principles on which our institutions have been fram ed.” “I wus wailiug for the Globe* copy of the message,” said Mr. Rives, “chatting with the General, who was smoking his pipe, when Major Donel sun, his private Secretary, cams'll),and read the page or more of mapnsrript which the Cabinet had substituted for this sentence. “it was late on Sunday night, ami Congress was to meettbe next morning When Major Donelson read the substi tuted sentence, the General said: ‘Now read that again.’ It was read a second time, and he then rose, and paced the floor, stopped, and said. ‘Strike all that out, sir, and put what I wrote. That’s what I meant, and, by G—d,that’s what my message shall say.’ ” The altera tions were made, and I made, anil I have the original copy to show that this was so. “The words omitted,” Mr. Rives went on to say, “were milk and water, but those retained had tbe bark on." Thb Washington -Chronicle thus de scribes the opening of Congress: “As the bonr of noon approached- the galleries began to fill, and the 'flutter of silks, the waving of plumes, the flashing of bright colors and bright eyes, relieved the too sombre dullness of masculinity Eager glances turned toward the bronze, clock, with its hovering eagle, and the presence of lively groups of animated talkers, on the floor, the coming and going of curious strangers, the sudden appiration of an man dressed ip a garc, not of “old Paul,” but something ap proaching it, the buckskin suit and pic turesque cap of a pioneer trapper, with long hair and Mosaic beard, startled tbe galleries the crowd of members. Suddenly the hammed fell and the Speaker led forward the chaplain. An instact cessation of the whispering and bustle followed, hats were hurriedly re moved, and, amid a solemn silence, the minister of God implored a bit ssing npon the labors of the assembled repre- of the people. Jitter .prayer the Speaker shnnk hands with the chap lain, bowed, and ascended the chair; the ebony and silver mace, : emblem ol authority, was fixed in. its pedestal of nerd antique , and Congress was formal ly opened.” The prize steamer Armstrong has ar rived at New T ork. She was captured on the 4th instant, eighty miles off Wilmington, by the steamers R. R.

The fire was extinguished before any serionß damage was done. Tne Armstrong is very fast, and aver ages fourteen miles per hour. She is an iron side-wheel steamer of 700 tons bnr den, is four months old, and has a car go of cotton. She is lying at the navy yard.
