TUE ATTACH ON CITY POINT.
Five rebelvessels came down James river
early on Tuesday morning, to destroy our
works and depots at City Point. A battle
ensued with our nearest fort. One of the ves
sels was blown up, and two others were no
badly disabled that they were quickly towed
up the stream by the remaining two. Ad
miral Farragut left Washington on Tuesday
evening for James river, and it is understood
that he will assume the naval command there.
The following are the particulars as far as
they could bo ascertained from a deserter
from 'the expedition :
The fleet left their moorings about 6 o'clock
last evening, proceeding quietly till getting
near our batteries, when they were discover
ed, and the
. batterieS immediately opened
upon them, to which they replied. At about
l 2 o'clock they succeeded in cutting the chain
in front of our obstructions, near the signal
station, beyond tho lower end of the Dutch
Gap Canal, whoa the Fredericksburg, under
a full head of steam, passed through the ob
structions, completely demolishing one of the
sunken canal boats. The Richmond, Drew
ry and Virginia, in attempting to follow,
grounded, when the Frederick ,:burg lied to
go to their assistance. The Drewry (mold not
be got off and was obliged to be abandoned,
as it was now daylight, and they were with
in range of Battery Parsons.
As soon as it became light the battery
opened on the Drewry, one of the shells fall
ing in her magnzirn•, which exploded—com
pletely demolishing her. The remainder of
tho fleet then made their way back. up the
river.
WE are apt to be free with our jl)kos upon
Doctors and their drugs, until sick, and in
need of their aid, they all alike boiv to the
necessity of recourse to their hard-earned
end ofter(ill-requited skill. The prevailing
belief that physicians frown upon whatever
deviates from their peculiar system arid
usages, arises from the fact that their better
information leads them soonest to detect and
discard the medical delusions arid impositions
that tire thrust ilium the cominunity. That
they are ready and prompt to a dopt any re
ally valuable invention is seen by the treat
ment Doctor ,J. C. Ayer's Chemical Reme
dies have received at their hands. They ap
preciate the value of the-e medicines because
they know their compoidtion, and where is
the man who ever heard a re-teet ebb^ physi
cian either disparage thew or degiourage their
use? No profession or pursuit has dine• more
for the human family than the medical pro
((talon. Nuee is followed by nobler own or
for nobler ends; nor is there one which bet
ter deserves the thanks of mankind.—

Government and -the Mines
The inevitable and judging from present
Indications and recent developments 'north
and south, the speedy approach of the ,last
acts in the bloody drama of the Rebellion
and the conseVent dissolution of the vast
contending armies in the field, will soon
present problems involving the disposal of
the disbended troops, as important and diffi
cult as tnose which look to tha control and
manag,ment of the masses of negroes man
ciliated by the military and civil movements
ef the government. The difficulties which
enviren the disposal of the white troops are
really greater than those affecting the distri
bution of the negro soldiers and fugitives, in
the field. The material of labor is less duc
tile; and cannot so readily be brought un
der the operation of large plans for the ap
plication of labor whose success depends up
on the tractability, and luck of individually
in the employees. The cultivation of the
soil will afford the 'most available method
for the immediate employment of the eman
cipated negroes whose intelligence and skill
has been directed, almost solely, in that. „ iii
rection. The ample fields of the bouth and
West will be ()lien to them ; and where they
are not provided with employment by in
dividual proprietors of lands, it will be no
difficult or unprofitable task for the govern
ment through its agents, to organize and
employ the negroes whom the return of
peace throws on its hands as discharged sol
diers and refugees, in agricultural pursuits.
The gaps occasioned in the different de
partments of labor by the rapid collection of
such large armies have been to It great ex
tent, supplied by the youths who, since the
commencement of the war have grown into
these places, by immigrants, by women who
arc now more universally employed in sales
rooms and as clerks than formerly, and by
e more econimical adaptation of labor, short
ening the necessity for hands.
The soldiers themselves after the relax
thin of bm.iness discipline and cessation from
business habits fur three or wore years spent
in the sorviec will have but little relish Mr
the monotony, regularity, and frequently
daily drudgery of the pui,nits which they
left. Posses:ed of a dt. , ire for change, they
will turn their face , in other directions, and
it belamives the government at whose in
stance they lett their avocations, to sec, As
far n. possible that the new courses do not
lest to destruction. -
There is a fast growing idea, not to :say
desire, in the minds of the people that when
the ttinding up of the Rebellion our arrnion
will be cinploycdttgainst England or France
ur both. It is not to be supposed that under
the Nvisenzal just, administration of Abraham
Lincoln (and the end of the Rebellion will
surely Cl/1111. while he k president) the gov
ernment will catch at any slight pretext for
a foreign war, merely because we have a
powerful army in the field and thu sinew., of
war have Ind yet begun to snap. We have
every confidence in the government, and be
lief p that stroll a confliet will be avoided if
possible, that even the hard knot presented
by the "Munroe Doetrine" will be untied by
the cunning lingers of diplotuaey and the
1•11..,C, on the docket, against England will be

prospector and miner will have mare charm =
for them than ease and indolence; and the
LI ncertlii n chances between poverty and afflu
ence afforded in the mines will be accepted
with letter relish than sturdy, plodding la
bor.
Continued and increasing discoveries of
the precious metals, effected over a vast arca:
and the, extraordinary success of laborer, in
the gold and silver fields of tho nation can
not have failed to attract the notice of ad
venturous men—and more of this class are
now to be found in the array than elsewhere.
And doubtless many have, resolved to seek
their fortunes in the mountains at the expi
ration of their terms of seri, ice, to whom the
idea would never had occurred had not the
necessities of their country called them into
the field, and compelled them to dissolve
their business connections at home.
But in the first history of a mining coun
try the efforts of gold seekers, no matter how
industrious, are not always successful, and
it is only when the working of quartz veins
attracts capital, which demands and or ,, anize,
labor, that gold and silver mining Cocomes
steadily remunerative, and induces perma
nent settlement. The immense profits of
investments in mineral lands and in machi
nery requisite to work the quartz veins, af
ford sufficient inducements to eastern capi
talists when the facts are more apparent,
especially us such enterprises do not suffer
through competition, therpfore no direct aid
is necessary from government for the purpose
of opening and working the mines. Private
enterprise is sufficient for this purpose—and
all that is demanded of the government in
this behalf is non-interference. It is true
that this kind of production should bear its
proportionate share of taxes—but to urge the
claim of royalty in the mines would only be
productive of disaster to mining enterprises.
The government can limier successfully -work'
our gold and: silver, lodes. But there are
many things which the government might
and should do in nidof this branch of in
dustry and, for the benefit of that large glass
of our citizens, now engaged and yet to be
engaged in the mining business. A mining
bureau should bo established, ono of whose
objects it-should bo to disseminate informa
tion for the benefit of both classes, laborers
and capitalists. The roads from tie east to
the mining regions should be bettor protected
against the incursions of the Indians than
they now are or ever have been, and this
would involve a complete purging and ren
ovation of all the forts tjtroughout the terri
tories, and the extermination of the Indians
who pershit year after year, regardless of.
treaties, in murdering emigrants and steal-,
ing their stock. The ,management of the
municipal afl'airs of the territories is usually

LINCOLN AND DAVIS.
JUSTICE TO PRESI DENT LINCOLN
When this war is over, history will do jus
tice to the great master-spirit who has brought
us out of it successfully. Even now he is ex
torting praises from our enemies. So much
has been said, says the North American, both
north and south, in detraction of President
Lincoln, and not by copperheads and rebels
but by well meaning though misguided Re
publicans, that it is refreshing to find an en
emy so.untiring, uncompromising and relent
less as the Charleston Mercury driven to do
him mgrudging measure of justice, as it does
in the following paragraph, which, despite
the use of such terms as " knave," "black
guard" and " binfoon," pictures him to its
readers as possessed of the very highest qual-
ities:
I,Vhen Abraham Lincoln took the chair
of the. Presidency of the United States, he
promised in his flat-boat lingo to 'run the
machine as his found it.' Whether he has
strictly kept his promise, those may doubt
wh o 0 1 1 0. 50 to consider the subject. It is
enough for us to know that whether 'running
his machine' in the pathway of his predeces
sors or not, Ito has run it with a stern, in
th‘x tile purpose, a bold, steady hand, it vigi
lant, aiAive eye, it sleepless , m , rg y, a fanatic
spirit, and All eye single to its end—conquest
—emancipation. He lots called around him,
in counsel, the ablest and most earliest men
of the country. Where he huts lacked in in
dividual ability, learning, experience or
statetinanship, lie has sought it, and has
found it, in the able men about him. whose
power: he applies to the advancement of the
cause he has undertaken
'• In.the.,C4Lbinc:t and in the field lie has
consistentrj l ' and fearlessly pressed on the
search for men who could itdviinee his cause,
and lois as tinlicsitatingl‘ cut off all those
who clogged it with weakness, timidity, im
becility or failure. Force, enemy, brains,
earnestness. he leis eollect , •d nrounel hint in
every department. Blackguard :mil butlbon
its he is, he has pursued his end with nn en
ergy untiring eisliti Indian, and a singleness
1 , 1 purpose that might almost be called pa
triotic. wore not an unscrupulous
knave in his , i)(1, rinds fanatH in his politi
cal vicas, he would undouhitwlly command
our respect as It ruler, s far ag we art! OM-
A brood ail home lie has exer
cised the same ceas, less e n erg y a nd
eireion-p•c:ion.
\l'e torn our eyes to Richmond, and the
contrast is appalling, siel<ening to the heart.'
How l'ew northern " Densecrats" there are
w ho do to Abraham l.iurolli thcju,ticii which
this churl organ of South Carolina rebellbm
thus does. if we were to credit what the
malcontent.; say, we might suppose that this
war hail been managing itself—that our vic
tories happened by eluire•e, our strength came
its oft II 111 . 1 , rd, our ill'llllllll ,. fiN were pro

toil ulna iail:iTioinees have. not been controll
ed at all. A veil i; drawn over all that has
been well done by this Adinini+tration,
and at Ihr` same time •lelf. Davis has been
held up before our people hy these Deolocnits
as a model of prudence, sagacity, statesman
like vigor, discretion, and knowledge of men
and ineuns. Tried by actual results, it is
I,4ain enough whieli of the two men have
lawn most successful.
Other into have at times received the credit
for being the moving spirits of this war and
of this administration, First, it was the
veteran Winfield Scott, then it wits presumed
to be Secretary f , cward, then t;eneral .Mc-
Clellan, then Secretary (ILL'''. But all these
delusions have Loco dispelled. We have hid
change everywhere, in the cabinet and in the
field. Butler, Fremont, INlcClellan, Buell,
Banks, Bunter, McDowell, Sigel, Hooker,
Burnside, and a host of others, have appeared
and disappeared, and still the war went on
more successfully at ouch successive change.
And then in the cabinet, C'aincron, Smith,
Chase, Blair, have come and gone, and Fes
senden is boon to follow, and there, too, the
wheels of the vast engine move on steadily
and without failure.
' Then, as to measure of policy, we have not
been wedded to any. We have tried all that
offered. There was the conservative policy
of Mr. Crittenden. We tried that, and it
failed. Then we surrendered to McClellan's
purely military policy, and that was a worse
failure. Next, we gave a turn to the radical
doctors, and their fiasco Is Written in the
records of Fremont, Hunter, etc. It is now
plain, first, that slavery was bound to wage
war to the death, and therefore it:was useless
to try to save it or to seek to save the Uuion by
letting it survive; second, that the rebellion
could not possibly be crushed by military force
alone, but required political measures as well;
third, that these political measures must fol
low in the paths of victorious campaigns, and
be the work of statesmen and riot of generals.
\Ve have now arrived at the true solution
of our troubles ; but who in the beginning
could have guessed at the path we have been
at last forced to take? Generals, roared in
the atmosphere of West Point, sneered at
polities and politicians, while the latter re
garded the former as pretentious and anti
quated. Each side has learned wisdom. The
generals new know bow much they depend
upon the management of civilians to secure
their conquests after they have made them, t
to keep off foreign intermeddlers by diplonitt
cy, to-use emancipation as a military weapon
in the enemy's own stronghold, to reorganize
strong civil governments in the place of ru
ined rebellious States. Politicians have learn
ed that in war military education and science
roust take precedence in the command and
managernent of armies, and that it is bettor
to trust to them than to interfere with them.
Emancipation was-not the 'object of the
war, but it is the most efficient aid in prose
cuting it successfully, outside of mere mili
tary consideration, that we have yet discov
ered. Without it the effort to maintain com
munication wohldin many cases bo hopeless.
-.Yet before reaching this conclusion President
Lincoln had adopted every other moans.
Beginning with Mr. (Jrittenden's conserva
tive , policy, ho has tried colonization, com
pensated emancipation, gradual emancipa
tion, proclamations of freedom , the organi
zation of blaEk regiments, and in fact every
other form of change in the condition of the
negro known to' us.

head management had full swing for a whole

fuilftrerof , the entire war. Wlien the
conflict began it was the "general complaint
that we had neither statesmen nor generals
of profound• skill. But PreSident Lincoln
has sought and found them. If any man
could have managed our foreignaffairs better
than Mr. Seward, our navy 'better than
Mr.-- :Welles, our postal department batter
than Mr. Blair, and our army better than
Gen. Cameron and Mr. Stanton, we do no t

Foote, Porter, Farragut. and Goldsborough
may .challenge rivalry from any quarter.—
Such generals as Grant, Sherman, Thomas,
Curtis, Sheridan, Canby, Rosecrans, &c.,
need not fear detraction from any source.
A Spicy Debate in Congress
A Copperhead skulks behind his privilege
as a member to shield him from the conse
quences of a foul slander upon General But
ler.
Mr• 'BROOKS (N. Y.) said that not long
ago in the course of his remarks, he had oc
casion to speak of a certain Major-General
as a gold robber, but in some of the prints he
WILY represented as saying bold,robber. No
doubt this was a inisunderstanding4, tio had.
received a letter from a Major-Genic 1, who,
it seemed, supposed that his rermA was par
ticularly applicable to him, though at the
time there was another Major-General in the
city of New York. At his desire the letter
was rhad.

ing the words bold robber read ynid robber.
General Butler sent his Aid to loot with the
letter, while he was at hreakfa,it ; and Aid
de-camp in full panoply, paid for out of the
Treasury of the United l . itates, and at pre
sent in the service of General Butler. If he
had been a duellist he should have accepted
the note in that character, but he resolved
to resort to his rights as a member of that
House, and on that ground he left it In be
said whether he was correct or incorrect.
Mr. INGERSOLL (Ill.)—What ground
had you fur asserting that General Butler
was a gold robber
Mr. BROOKS—I cannot give my reason
under the milling of the Chair.
(Cries from the Dunweratic side.(—Lets
have them: What are they?
Mr. STEVENS—We had better confine
oursidves to the legitimate line of debate. I
require the gentleman to speak to the text.
Mr. ING ERSOLL—I move the rules be
suspended, in order that the gentleman may
explain.
The rules were suspended by a vote for
that purpose.
Mr. ST EVENS (in a low tone)—Wesus
rend the rules that we may disgrace our
selves.
11r. SPALDING inquired—Will it be in
order to let Butler in the ring
Mr. K FAUN AN—That is nut in accord
ance with the precedent excluding. Mr. Field.
Mr. 88.00.1i§ said this reason ho did nut
reply to the letter was that he had known
General Butler on a previous Occasion, in
New Yolk, when surrounded by a staff of
twenty or twenty-five officers, in the Huffman
House, send out his aid-de-camp to demand
the presence of .gentleman before him, and
when the gentlemen appeared they found
him seated at the table with his pistols be
fore him, and this in the peaceable city of
Now York.
The grotind on which he made •the charge
of Butler being a gold robber was certain
transactions in Now Orleans and the pro
ceedings in the Surrogate Court of New
York. The plaintiff in the ease, Samuel
Smith, procured. an order to Conmel Butler
to•rotund certain money, stating in his de •
position that ho went from Saratoga some
years ago to Now Orleans, and' he and his
brother entered into the bunking business on
the 24th of Apri1, , 1862.
When Admiral Farragut had passed° the
forts he secreted. his gold. in the air cella of
the vault, fearing that the city would be giv
en to plunder. General Butler, on the Ist
of May, issued an order / and directed every
man to return to his business, promising that
the right of *petty should be held snvio
late, subject only to the laws of the United
States.
. .
The deponent accordingly reopened "his
banking hoisio; Onneral. Butler soon com
'moncee examining into the affairs of the
, banliera; and finding the dbPonent had $OO,-
000 in gold,,he demanded the rncin'ey of him,,

to add that this' rooneybnil'neirer*licen paid
into tlio IFetiatir'y of 'the . United gates, and
yet remains in Butler's hands.
Mr. LOAN (Mo.)—lias it ever been re
turned to the proper department?
Mr. BROOKS—It is not in the Treasury,
Department.' ;: •
Mr. LOAN—I understand that it hasbeen
paid over to the War Depaitment.
Mr. STEVENS asked what was the result
of the suit to which the goiltlernan referred ?
Mr. BROOKS replied it was still pending.
The fact Lunt not to be discredited that the
S.;50,(100 was not where it ought to be, but in
the sole possession of General Butler.
Mr. GOOCH (Mass.) I will say to the gen
tleman if before making his 'charge he had
taken occasion to investigate the facts, he
would hive learned the circumstances under
which the money was taken, and the readi
ness of General Butler to obey the order of
the War Department.
A colloquy of a very spirited, rapid and
earnest character followed.
Mr. BROOKS asked—Did he make his re
port before or after process issued ?
Mr. GOOCH—I presume before; but I
don't know the fact.
Mr. BROOKS—I know ho did not, be
fore the suit was entered.
Mr. GOOCH—Was it not before the gen
tleman made his statement on this floor ?
Mr. BROOKti—I know that General But
ler used the telegraph to say the money was
in the Treasury when it was not there.
Mr.GOOGII—Is it in accordance with
yourposition hero to charge General Butler
with being a gold robber?
. .
Mr. BADOKS—A man who robs a citizen
and keeps the money until suit is instituted,
and makes no report of the subject, deserves
the epithet.
Mr. • GOOCH—Does the gentleman say
such is a fact
Mr. BROOKS—It has been so stated to
Mr. GOOCH—Did you not know the oth
er day that General Butler had !wide his re
port?
Mr. 13 ROOKS—He was frightened into
making the report.
- .Mr.I.“MCII—If General Butler had tak
en money while in command of New Or
beam:, and had not reported the fact. to the.
Government but attempted to conceal it, he
luci committed a it rung, but if he has not
done this then the gentleman from New
York in calling General Butler "a geld rob

gentionmh h the ladt man who would not
receive a note front a gentleman whom he
charged with being "a gold robber" because
he thinks he can shelter himself behind Ins
Congre , sional privileges.
BIiGOKS-llth the gold been

_Mr. GOOCH-11'e had the gold ready to
respond.
Mr. Bll.ooKri asked whether a Majcir

Destruction of the Smithsonion In
stitution by Fire.
A bout fifteen inimites to 3 o'clock on Tues
day last, the cominunity was startled by
seeing fire issuing from the Smithsonian
Building, and shortly the whole central por
tion of the huilding was enveloped in dames.
Workmen had been eng aged during the day
in hanging up pictures in the gallery all of
which were consumed, with the exception of
seine full- or live. The paintings thus de
stroyed were very tine, and included Stanly's
celebrated Indian Gallery. The lire spread
rapidly, and soon the roof of the lecture room
fell, driving out the Bremen, who were en
deavoring to confine the flames to the pic
ture gallery. The flames extended to the
lecture room and main tower, and thence to
the apparatus room. Only a small portion
of the valuable apparatus in this room was
saved, as the heavy apparatus could not be
removed.
The tiro spreading to other portions of the
building, it was deemed prudent to remove
the furniture from the east wing, occupied
by Pref. lfenry as a private residence, and
also•the stuffed birds and preparations from
the taxidermist's room, but in the haste, and
/rout the liarroWiless of the passages, much
damage was done to the property No re
moved.
The windows of the picture gallery soon
burst out, disclosing only the shell of the
room. There were scm! 2110 of -Stanley's
pictures here, and ho was just upon the point
of selling them to the State of Michigan.—
Indeed, not an hour before the fire broke out
a lady who had been commissioned to see to
the purchase was at the gallery examang
them.
In this room was the valuable statue of
the Dying Gladiator, owned by Mr. McGuire,
of this city, and which statue will of course
be ruined as a work of art.
Superintendent Richards, with a largo de
tail of Metropolitan policemen, reached the
place some fen minutes after the alarm was
sounded; and immcdliaoly took possession of
'the building, allowing no one but the fire
men and those connected with the institu
tion to enter.
Shortly afterwards a detachment of the
provost guard, consisting of men. of the Dth
regiment Veterah 'Reserve Corps, under eoill
- of Lieut.'Patterson, reported to Su-•
perintendent Webb for-duty, and rendered,
efficient service in guarding the: property,
and assisting in removing the affects of the
building. --- . .
The fire is believed . .to have originated
7 --
from a dot ttve fi ne, as the fl ues of the -
building, yore badly constructed throughout
the building; but it is-not impossible thatit
may have been the work' of an incendiary,

The hour has come I The proposed A mend
ment to the Constitution immediately abol
ishing and forever prohibiting Slavery comes
up fur final decision. An anxious throng of
witnesses pours into the galleries ; there is
an air of confidence rising almost to exulta
tion on the Union side, while a sullen gloom
settles over the pro-Slavery benches.
Archibald McAllister, Dem., of the XVl
nth Pennsylvania District, reads a beauti
ful paper, in which ho justifies his change of
vote, and casts his ballot against the corner
stone of the Rebellion. Alexander 11. Cuff

argument, to situ NV the power to amend and
the policy to amend. Applause on the Re

nia, XlVth District (who woo beaten nt tho
last election by George F. Miller, Union,)
espouses pro-Slavery Democracy, and insists
on keeping his party foot on the niggers.
The galleries are gutting crowded, the floor
of the House filling up.
Anson Herrick, Democrat, IXth District
of New York, next gives frank and states
manlike reasons why he has changed his
views, and shalt change his vote,
In the midst of the speaking, and that
buzzing which always characterizes a criti
cal vote upon a great question, it is whisper
ed that three Rebel Peace Commissioners,
Stephens, Hunter and Campbell, are on their
way here--that they were at City Point last
night. A few believe, but most people say
"gold gamblers' news."
1.20 r. tit.—The crowd increases. Senators,
Heads of Bureaus, prominent civilians and
distinguished strangers; fill the spaces out
side of the circle.
The interest becomes intense. The disrup

The work done in securing tfie passage of
this bill has been immense. It has taken
the labor of an entire month, night and day,
to secure the majority which to-day so de
lighted the friends of freedom and of litunan
ity„and so astounded the allies of slavery.
To two Republicans in particular does the
nation owe a debt of gratitude—to James
M. Ashley, of Toledo, (thin, and Augustus
Frank, of Warsaw, New York. They held
the laboring oars.
The Democrats were sure of defeating the
measure by a large majority up to this noon:
indeed, they felt sure of it up to the final
voting. The Republicans were nut sure of
success till last night.
Three batteries of regular artillery have
just saluted the grand result with a hundred
