THE ARMISTFCE AGAIN

I. THE ARMISTICE AGAIN.
The expectation of an Armistice be-
gins to subside. There is no Indication
that we can discover, ofsuch an event
being ahpas to take Places-The Presi.
dent leaves Washington to-day or to-
morrow for his seat i'll Virginia. If an
Arrnis,ice were negotiating, he would
probably remain at his post. In addition
to this the Naval Officers now in the
District, have we understand, generally
received orders to repair forthwith to
the Lakes where they have been In
formed, their immediate services viii
be wanted. Neither of these circum.
stances is calculated TO increase the ex-
pecta,ion of an Armistice. 1t is more
than probable thatinstead Ola suspen-
sion of nostilitics; we shall have con-
tinuation of them this summer, aggra-
waited by calamitiss much greater than a
ny we have yet experienced. ourgru
lers and their. people, must take few
more lessons IN the school Of adversely |;
before they are likely to learn wisdom.

The steam boat which arrived yester.
day from Albany, brought no news from
the Northern Army or the Fleets
Among the passengeas were his Excel.
leney Governor Tompkins, and General
Winder. The General was one OF the
prisoners confined in Quebec as reta-
iiatory hostage. He had been permitted
some weeks ago to visit his family at
Baltimore, on parole, ard had returned
a, the expiration of it. when (as we pre-
sume) he was liberated by Governor
Prevost, very probably in consequence
of the President of the United States
having directed all the British officers
now in custody as hostages on the prin-
cipIe of retaliation. to be discharged on
parole, with leave to return to Canada.

il seems by the following General OTdcrs,
which appeared this morning, that General

have been the fact feels, as on 1fic. :, the

deed, we know Of no oE;ccrs. that is, men
who deserve the title or the rank, in a militia

as hClding commissions in the sanle line OF
promotion, whether republicans or federalists.
who are not sensible OF The obvious iinprcpre-
ty of the appointment, and who DO no. expires
their indignation.
We know nothing further Of the sentiments
Of the Commanding General Of thiS District,
than appears by his Orders. 1t seems, by
those, ne partakes IN the public serS;b:iity,
t. Gen. STRtCKER'S merits and services
We repeatit, we know nothing Of this gentle
mans opinions, except that he recognizes, in
Just and dignifed terms, the claims Of the Of
fcCr who has been GtfeWjfted to be degraded,
from motives which will not bear examiaa-
ton. But We 60 one step, and ONLY enc step
further, and add that the express appro-
baton of Major General ScoTT is no tri-
fling tribute. a man who has himself earn
ed his country's applause by arduous and
able services, will be heard, independent
Of lbs rank, when he beStows need ON me-

IF the pubic services Of Genera! SCOTT
