Ihe invoked their section to^ivy r yar,; but who have not .the cour age to-, take their places in the field. General Howell ’ Cobb, a constant Union’man, Until forced into rebellion , by. the same pressure which pulled .Alex.- Stephens and Hershel V. Johns ton along with him, doesn't seem to relish the proceedings of the original fire-eaters. In a speech lately made by him in Mobile, he is reported to have said that “the TaDkee was a sor ry creature, but be kaew a meaner—that was .the man who was willing to go bach to. live with him after this war. “I kndw it 'meaner one than either; it is tlite furious advocate of Recession, the min ute mail who wore a cockade, who in sulted others because they were not as ready to plange the country into war as he was, who promised that he and those who thought with him would do ail the fighting, and who yet keeps oat of the way; or hides away in safe places, and leaves other and better men to bear the 1 brunt of the conflict. The meanest Yan kee on-Gape Cod is a perfect hero com- , pared with Such a wretch.” It Is easily seen from this that Cobb doesn't relish the idea of the original Baceasionista—the men who insisted upon Southern independence— dodging the sabijfipes. which theif teachings helped to.bring upon their country. Gen. Cobb is like hdndreds of thousands of others in the South, who are heartily sick of a wasting conflict which they had no hand in producing. The flre-eaters of the South hare been to that Becfion, what the leading Aboli tlrth' fd&at(cs have beepjto the forth; by their joipt efforts they, plunged the coun try in war, but neither of them have stomach for the fight. We do not re member a single leading original Aboli tioyistwho entered: the service at the commencement-of the war, except Sena tor Wilton of'Masaachusette. He raised a lyfcu^dht, 1 but tf was more for display SB !f .fttniuneut thananythiqgelae. Like many of his class,he was thoroughly con- vm ted that “the South wouldn't fight,” b tit'by yhMinie tie got to Baltimore he changed ms mind, and so resigned his commission. Prior to this, however, rejoicing in " the - conviction that the Southern ragamuffins were not game, Wilson was seemingly the very imper so nation of that lofty gallantry, which braves all danger, and seeksthe "bubble, reputation even at the c&Qoon's mouth.” He strutted in more gojd lace and buttons, and luxuriated in' longer feathers and’ top hoots, than a vain Fourth of July militia-- tsver ; spotted; and he talked too most valorous,y of striking until the last armed rebel expired. Bui as iv ■ -have said, he, like his class 01 Northern agitators, and their hutipodes in e/.rythiug else save cowardice, the Bofirftl!rhTft , e-dateis‘ 1 find it'congenial to stay at,home, drotn danger, i and let in noecnt and good men be sacrificed in a coullict which' their twenty five years of agitation have brought upon the coun try. •- ■ '.

Robert Thompson, a coachman, was anestedsome days ago by Detective 13 nnett on a charge of grand larceny, in st aling a trunk containing a quantity ( f clothing, etc., valued at $l5O, from hrs employer, Mr. Philip Van Valken burgh of Tubby Hook. To this charge the accused pleaded guilty, and he was committed to the Tombs for trial, refus ing bail. Yesterday afternoon two verv respectable appearing women appeared before Justice Hogan at the Tombs, and preferred a charge of bigamy against fcan. The affidavits sworn to by the complainants show that on the 28th of I December, 1857, the accused was inar ri.d to Misß Margaret Desmond, at present residing at Madison, N. J., by Rev. Sylvester Malone of St. Peter and St. Paul’s Roman Catholic Church, at Williamsburgh. The clergyman and several other witnesses who were pres ent when the ceremony was performed were in Court, and prepared to give evi dence againgt him- On the 28th of August last, while his first wife was still living, Thompson was united in the bonds of wedlock to Margaret Weir, by t(ic .Rev. L. R. Dickinson of the Church <>l the Mediator, Kingabridge, Wesches ter Co. Both the complainants were domestics in the families where he was ••in ployed as coachman. Thompson l-K aded guilty of the bigamy,. and Jus ti o Hogan committed him fortrial, bail being refused. It is said that there are several other women whom Thompson has married illegally. —New York News From the New York Herald, The Triumph of the Eepubliban Party and ita Defeat. His in accordance with the philoso phy of things that when a party is ele vated to power for the accomplishment ,ol great ends and fails, it will be swept out of existence. The Republican party wus successful at the last two elections because the people believed that it would pnt down the rebellion and bring back peace to the country; bnt its vic torious triumph will assuredly prove its defeat. The first four years of rule left the rebellion unsuppressed, and the peo ple expect that the war will be closed within the. first twelve months of its second term. If it is not—but if on the other hand, a weak and hesitating pol icy should: insure four years more of 'internecine warfare —the party will be s wept off the earth with a howl of gen e-al execration. Even if it should suc ceed in pitting .the rebellion under nithjn the coming year there will be a reaction, financial and political, that will cut its life short—its utmost limit being the expiration of its supremacy in °® ee - There Is a settled opinion that jthc radical portion of the Republican iparty is one of the principal authors of the war, and when the excitement con sequent npon its progress is over, and the account of public debt comes to be settled, the day ol reckoning will have arrived. In any event, then, it will be fdund that the triumph of the Bepubli can party isvirtually its defeat. * 'Oh Friday last five deserters were ex ec utediu the Army ofrthe Potomac Twnfrqm New-Sort—two from New flampjfiine,and one from Alaryhma. -mi WeTtave remarked. with some.aurf priae^hi^enormbus'ln flux of returning Caflforhiansyjecentlv invisible at the hofoiaaad lodging-houses chiefly pat ronized by -that “trade”—to use the fa miliar busifteag parlance o f the day. A* jLovejoyVj'fcencb’s and other noted re ports of California travelers going and looming theante roouis were crowded on : jWednesdaywith men, women and chil dren, just arrived from the Pacific coast, via Panama and Aspinwall, on board of the steamer, Costa Rica. In many cases whole families were seen together, from aged grandparents down to children, of both sexes, only three and four years of age, and infants at the breast. They were a sturdy looking race, but poorly attired, and bearing too evident marks of hardship encountered on the way. The Costa Rica came into port crowded from the first cabin to the steerage with these wanderers, whn numbered no less than 800 souls on that one vessel. So heavy an arrival, and the fact that all the passengers had ap parentty brought everything with them that they conld carry, including house hold articles, arras, clothing and bag gage of all descriptions, naturally led to inquiry and comment. The public at large on our Atlantic Btope are resting under the impression that in California tliere exists a condition of.prosperity to which the middle classes here have, for two years at least, been comparatively strangers. Conversation with the re turning emigrants very speedily dispels these dreams, and sadly convinces us that no pm of our country has been ex empted from the miserable effects of in I ternecinc strife and the oppressive fatal ities that seem, like visitations of' the Most High, to have accumulated upon us since it began. The statements brought by these poor people from the land of gold are very opposite to the ideas so widely entertained. A very large proportion of those who came in hy the Costa Rica crossed* the plains from the Western States to California in 1862 and 1818, and have been so ter ribly disappointed in their expectations, that they have come back at the earliest practicable moment. 3ao,'oooti& : . 106,923 62 46,916 8- 09,244 00 16,479 00 239,881 77 238,261 24 246,400 66 865 00 18,958 28 1,368 95 3,173 60* 1,105 14 7,404 18 471 42 1,191 85 61,2i8 32 36,905 35 2>4 71 4 738,313 OC.0 C . 2,108,363 70 20,948 48 New England Domination—A Be publican View. 100,525 79 The domination exercised by New England in the Congress of the United States, in the organization of Commit tees, and in the general scope oflcgisla torn, is attracting the attention, not "uiv o- the Democracy, hut of the Re publican o . The Chicago Tribune, a h ading Lincoln paper, says: The Senate Committee*. We trust that the controversy which lias arisen in the Senate regarding the chairmanship of the Committee on Na val Allairs, is only preliminary to a greater one which shall hereafter in volve a “new deal" in the honors of that body. During the last session of Con gress (and for a long time before,) ■ very Senator front New England wa9 Hip Chairman ol a Committee, except Mr. Morrill, of Maine.

These writers will doubtless be aston ished to learn|lhat our suggestion is like ly to be adopted, and this too within Very few days. - Ihe dealers in foreign exchange have been compelled lor some weeks past to make their transactions in gold, owing to the fluctuation in the currency, and has obliged them to make and receive payments by an actual delivery of the coin. Of course . such movements of gold involve great risk and trouble, as much as as it the business in currency was carried on by an actual counting out of the money instead of the use of checks. To obviate tbese difficulties a plan has been hit upon to establish a bullion department in one of our oldest banks, where gold may be deposited and drawn upon aa needed. It is easy to see that but little gold will be actual ly moved as the settlements will be made without it. Already thirty-eight of the largest firms have subscribed to the project, and others have it under fa vorable consideration. The great objection made to tbe plan suggested years ago for such a place of deposit was that the keeping of a fond of gold intact to await tbe requisition of the depositor would be expensive, and that the customers would not pay for it. But these subscribers cheerfully promis ed to pay one thousand dollars each per annum for the privilege we have noticed. The B»nk of New Yfrk has been selected as the place of deposit; and we will give further details as soon as the plan is matured. The Cincinnati Commercial Republican speaking of the removal of Gen. Rose crans, pay the following compliment to the Radicals of Missouri: It is not discreditable to the General that he has failed to please the Radicals of Missouri. —The man who can please has not been found, and, if he were pro cured, the characteristics that would make him agreeable to them would hardly commend him to the considera tions o£ the rest of mankind. The fac tion that hunted Schofield out of their States with such prolonged bowlings, and has likewise pursued Hosecrans,will probably be in fall cry after General Dodge in a little while. Gen. Schofield has reason to be thankful for his removal from Missouri, as he has been given an opportunity to distinguish himself in the field by highly meritous service, and to Berye his country in the: brilliant battle and victory of franklin. And if General Rosecrans has a chance, 1 there - is ng doqbt that the soldiery qualities that ap peared at pich MQUutajh, C<)riuth,' Bnd atone Fiver, wiljseem to have lost none of their practical excellence.

Huge Jokes on Ben Botx.ee.—A rich joke on General Butler is current in army circles. It seems that the reg ular officers have little faith in the Dutch Gap Canal, and at a recent court martial in the Army of the James a sol dier was sentenced to two years’ hard labor on the said canal. The report adds that Butler was disgusted, and dis solved the court immediately upon hearing of this finding and sentence of the court. The wives of the rebel Generals Gus tavus W. Smith and Mansfield B. Lov ell, formerly Street Commissioners ot New York, are in that city, as also are l hree sisters of the rebel General B. H. Cheatham, of Kentucky. The examin - ations at the registration office have de veloped the fact that there are many of the relatives of men In the rebel army now in New York, and measures are taken to place them under proper sur veillance. On Thursday last an interesting de bate took place in the House of Repre sentatives, on our foreign relation, du ring which the Hon. Henry Winter Davis said: Tne Secretary of States had in the face of ail Europe, slapped the House of Representatives in the face, in his correspondence with the French government, and he asked the House whether it would not to-day assert its own display? Whereupon, “the House” —didn’t. The Hon. Stevens, during the debate in the House of Representatives on Thursday last, thus spoke of “the duly of the House:’’ It was the duty of the House to vindicate the dignity of the country, and to elevate it from the low depth to which it was sunk. But “the House did not see the matter in the same light, and, as yet, “the dignity of the iountry’’is in the same “low depth,’’ referred to by the honorable gentleman lioin Pennsylvania. It looks as though Russia was about to inaugurate another eastern war. New 9 trorn Odessa, via \ ienua, says that a Russian army, siuy thousand strong, is about to He stationed along the frontiers of Austria and Bessarabia. This fact has created great alarm in Austria, and the Vienna papers- predict an immediate attempt on the part of Rus sia to overturn Turkey. All seems quiet enough iu Europe just now; but the spec ter of war ever disturbs the dreams of the people of that continent. The New York corresj ondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer says: Letters irom eminent French commercial firms at Bordeaux and Nantes were received by the Hansa, this morning, making anxious inquiries sb to the truth of a re port which had gained credit thcTe. that the Mexican President Juarez was about to issue letters of marque and reprisal against France, and that vessels with that end in view, were fitting ont in United S ales ports. There is likewise reason to believe that an official commu nication on the snbject has been ad dressed to the State Department at Washington Colonel Hoback Blnney Sarqent ol the First Massachusetts cavalry, ported killed on Warren's late raid,’ was a son of Lucius Manlius Sargent, of \Y est Roxbury, distinguished in litera ture, and moßt popularly known as the author of the “Temperance Tales." Colonel Sargent has been in the service since the war broke out, at first as Lieu tenant-Colonel of his regiment, and was made Colonel in October, 1862, on the resignation of Colonel Williams. Col Sargent distinguished himself in many battles, and deserves a high position upon the honorable list of brave men who have given themselves to their country in this war. South Cabolina Exhausted. The Governor of South Carolina in his late message says that any further claim made by the Richmond Government upon that State, at least, will abstract so much from the little bone and sinew that is left in the land as to leave them enervated, paralized, and comparatively helpless in their own defense. He says that the sacrifice of Sonth Carolina for the “cause" is shown by the fact, that “with a voting population of about iorty seven thousand, she has.furnished at least sixty five thousand troops to the Confederate army, and that of the thousands of State officers whom she might have claimed as exempts from the service, there are now less than one hundred within the borders of the State." The President in his message seems to be possessed with the notion that the war has added to the population and wealth of the nation. He says we are "not in process of exhaustion," but “aregaiuing in strength, “and may, if need be,maintain the contest“indefinitc lv ” The Comptroller of the Treasury, Mr. McCulloch, seems to think differ ently, and we believe he is right. He says: When money is plenty, and for tunes are being rapidly acquired, the country is always in a feverish and unhealthy state. This is especially true at the present time. The enormous ex penditures of the Government, and the great advance in prices since the com mencement of the war, have made many persona snddenly rich, upon, fortunes snddenly acquired, have fol lowed reckless expenditures, extrava gance, tyaste.
