We suspect the press is still running ahead Of the
events Of the day. They are not merely specializing
about the movements Of the war, but confidently
ehronicling what is done, or what is decided. They
say, that large volunteer force is Immediately to
be called out. They go so far to say that these
volunteers will be called out from the SOUTH that the
north will he sighted, &c, &c We cannot under
take to gay what the War Department may think it
beat TO do and uhsn TO act but we hazard htlle in
saying that no decision has yet been made-no ad-
ditional volunteers have yet been called out
Some Of the public journals are also still laying
down the plan Of the campaign, and speaking of
movements to be made almost az confidently as if
they were made. We enter into no specifications;
but we cannot help being amused at the plans which
have been chalked out-the marches to be made
the objects which are first assumed, and then the
means that are calculated to effect those ends
Upon another point, we beg leave most respect
fully to submit remark. We have no intention
of breaking lance with the editor Of the Baltimore
Sun" We see no benefit in bringing on any dis
cussion upon the events at Monterey. We have not
yet seen the dispatches in detail We have no au-
of the conduct Of the gallant officers und the corps
which took part in the stirring of the three
days. We shall not certainly at this time engage in
any discussion Of the conduct the officers "Par.
tisan" editors as we may be, we hope we are as
chary of their honor, and of the gratitude which
they have earned by their heroic services as those
who call themselves "independent" editors-"inde-
pendent" we presume is meant, ofall parties. The
Baltimore SUM- may retain this neutral posi-
ton, if it pleases. We care not-nor do we
mean to quarrel with it about its course. But
at some loss to perceive what party ha,
to do in the question. 1t does not affect our
confidence in the officers. We are as proud of
their fame, although they may differ with us in po-
Iitical opinion, as their political friends. No
is anxious to weave the laurel around their
brow. But we have already said too much upon
this subject and we dismiss it.

Congress from each State casts the one vote to
which each State is entitled If whigery, them can

Bradley, and electing his federal opponent, James

They can the State and give whgery defeat

The flood Of rain which we have had for the past
three days has at last ceased and the sun is shining
out as clear and warm, to-day, as if it were the
month of May, instead of the usually dreary No
yemoer. In the western suburbs of this city, con-
siderable damage has been done, the water falling
in such heavy volume as to completely flood the
roads, and render them impossible. Several dams
In that vicinity were also carried away.
The western mail, due at six o'clock last evening,
has not yet reached the city, nor has any tidings
been received of the cause Of the detention. The
presumption, however, is that portions Of the rail-
road have been washed away, and Others have been
covered with sand and clay, so as to impede the
passage OF the The western train went out as
usual this morning.

The election in Michigan took place also to-day,
as well as in New York and New Jersey. The
federal phaanx are making strenuous efforts to
carry that State, and the "Detroit Free Press" APP
peals to the democracy friends of "the princi.
pies of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson" to
save the State. "The opponents of democracy
(says that able paper) are in the field, with their
forces ready to do battle for power. Like the Mex
leans at Pao Alto, they striving to distract their
opponents previous to battle, by sending alsehoods
among u.s. with many protestations Of their, own
good conduct. Serve them as our gallant uoops
served the perfdious, lying Mexicans--give them
battle, with united strength, and give them, too,
defeat such their allies received at Paio Alto and at
the Resaca de la Palma" .,5'I D..
The pseudo wings are playing the same insidious
game in Michigan, that they have pursued in New
Hampshire and in Misunderstanding cooperation
with the abolitioniss. The folio wing is one of the
articles which the "Press" devotes to this mschiev-

The United States schooner Flirt, lieutenant com.
handing, Arthur Sinclair, arrived here on Saturday
evening, in twenty-eight days from Vera Cruz and
fifteen from Havana. The Flirt was about 500
miles to the westward of Havana, at the time Of the
late gale, and did not feel the effects of il in any other
way thar by very heavy sea- She left Havana on the
18th ult and we learn from of her officers that
tho gale was very severe at that place. Upwards
offortyl American vessels were wrecked in the har-
Dor, and in the city nearly every other house in
either blown down or unroofed. The United

time in the gale.

Commodore Sloat, who lately commanded our
squadron on the coast of the Pacific, arrived in
Washington last evening, in the southern boat The
commodore deserves the gratitude of his country
for the energy with which he has discharged his
duty as commodore of his squadron, and the prompt
ude with which he took possession of the ports on
the coasts of California. Such officers as himself
are the highest ornaments to the navy. As the New
Orleans Picayune remarks, at was his signal good
fortune to hold an important command at u critical
moment in the history of the country He was
equal to the emergency. Promptly and firmly he
carried into effect the wishes of the people and gov.
ernment and his name will be inscparaby connect
ed with the annexation of California to the United
States. The service was one of momentous conse-
quence to the country, and rot less honorable be-
cause performed without bloodshed or strife"

The "New York Courier aud Enquirer" notices
the propositions Of the Secretary Of lha Treasury
for the loan of FIVE millions at six per cent. We
pass over the criticism il makes upon the previous
course Of the Secretary but it gives us pleasure to
lay the following appropriate extract from other
parts OF its article Of November 81" before our
readers. 1t breathes a worthy and patriotic spirit
"0ur country is involved in war; and pending the
contest the honor of the nation and the interests OF
the whole people forbid that we should pause to
cayll at the cause Of that war. What our govern.
ment requires now, is not only the sinews Of war
but strong hands, sound heads and stout and willing
hearts, TO bring the war 10 an early and hOnora-
bic issue. The future reputation of our country,
and It's character for efficiency IN the estimation OF
iorelgn governments, demand that should al once
bring this war to an honorable and satisfactory ter
mlnatlon regardless Of expense and If ever there
was period when il is the duty of capitalists to
eynce their pair 0tSn, II is In crisis like the pres
ent. All the money spent in this is
either spent at home or returns Immediately 10 the
country. When, therefore, the government borfows
five Millions and throws il among the people to de-
fray the expenses Of the war, both the money and
its representative, five millions of stock, are in the
market And 40 If the government should want
nifty or one hundred millions; il they will call for II
from time to time before their necessities drive them
into the market, they will not only receive all they
want but, strange it may appear TO the unrehect.
ing, the money market will be constantly getting
easier. In all heavy operations, the stock of the
government is as good a circulating medium as gold
and silver bank BILLS aud consequently loans ia
diciousy taken up by the government, and the
money spent among our own people, will benefit the
money market instead of njurng il.
"We are happy to add that all with whom we
have conversed the subject unite in opinion that
the FIVE millions called for will be furnished prompt
ly, &c, &c,
Whatever may be the feelings Of the wings in
Congress in regard to the cause of this war there
can be doubt but they will stand by the country
and insist upon the whole energies of the nation be-
ing directed TO insure its early termination. Ma
trona honor and not considerations OF dollars and
cents, will be the prevalent feeling in Congress-; and
il we mistake not the administration will be CEN
sured for not having used all the means placed at
their disposal by Congress to bring the war to
close instead Of finding fault with ts expenditures.
The day Of reckoning will come but not until after
the war is terminated"
We trust the same spirit will influence the mem
bers Of Congress. II is thus that we shall bring
the war to an early and an honorable issue" We
have hesitation in declaring that the sdministra-
lion is anxious to prosecute it with vigor and eff
cheney, so as to secure an early and permanent,
and honorable peace, any citizen in the coun-
try.
