: The New "orrans,u

It's rumored that Mr.. DRBow, Superintendent
OF the Census, and MIR. PRYoR lateAssociate Ed
itor OF the Washington ''Union." will shortly
start new paper in Washington city, under the
patronage of the Administration. The city papers
have said nothing about this project, but the re-
port has come to US in way which compels US TO
give it credenee. Mr.. PRYoR's connection with
the "Uninn' was terminated in consequence of is
"Russia article" which raised quite rumpus in
the camp a month or two ago. Both the Admins
tration and the proprietor of the "Union" were
said to have repudiatcd the article, BUTT seems
now that the President aud Cabinet endorse it, and
regard the writer with special favor. The Gun
ion' is evidently in bad odor with the party. For
some time past, it has been occupied alternately
in defending the President for his freesoil and Sc
cessionst appointments, and in landing the COM
promise measure to the skies. Its eulogles upon
these measures have brought down upon 1t the
vengeance of all the adherents Of the Administra-
ton, who originally opposed their enactment.
In the meantime, moreover. if the newspaper
accounts are reliable. Mr.. BEVERLY TUCKER is
preparing to establish his "organ" at the Federal
Capital. Messrs. DEBow and PRYoR belong to
the anti-interventon, conservative wing of the
party, and Mr.. Tucker to the goa head. young
America branch. 1t is said that he will wage a
relentless war against the Old Fogies. A French
paper in New York, in the course Of dashing
eulogium upon Monsieur TUCKER, says, f'Like
his ilustrous forerunner, Mr.. GEORGE SAUNDERS,
he sees in his political antagonists nothing but
savages who must be despatched with the toma-
hawk He dreams only of scalping knives and
scalr-locks, of red skin and bloody flesh. mo
quarter to old Fogies;' such is his motto. 1t is
said he is occupied in the invention Of a political
guilotne which can cut off ten thousand heads at
single stroke"
The "Republic" comments in the following
humorous vein upon the French editors article:
Should We conceal from the unconscious victims
of this diabocal plot the terrible massacre-worse
than that of St. Bartholomew or those of the Bas
tile2 And this because we are their political an
tagonists? Humanity and Patriotism forbid
If, however, we tell them plainly of their dan
ger, they may affect to believe it some covert de.
sign of their ancient enemies, the Wings.
We think there is mischief brewing. The
Ming dynasty has been assured by its mandarins
and mouthpieces that the northern rebels only de-
sire to knock their accused foreheads against the
imperial footstoo in token of submission. Des
patches have been promulgated representing that
the official treasures are in no danger; ourselves
and others, who have raised the notes of warning,
have been duly detruncated. Those who hint at
disaffecton have been bastinadoed, and the celes-
tial authorities deem themselves secure in the re-
mote recesses of the golden palaces, merely be-
cause they have concealed the danger from them
selves. Suddenly, however, is heard the aarum
of these Young Democratic insurgents, headed by
the s'yellow- haired and red bearded Tucker
The sacred walls are scaled-the courtiers, syco
plants, and even the hard-shel lile-guard are
tumbled heels over head in deplorable confusion.
The exasperated and triumphant rebels enter
Their first demand is for the keys of the imperial
treasury and cellar, for each revolutionary pocket
is vacant as infniy, and each throat is 'as dry
limeburner's wig" Woe then to any office
holder under the Ming or Fogy dynasty who shall
have mprudently omitted to inscribe upon his lin
tel the talismanic word sl4, (obedient;) he will
be incontinenty seized by his official queue, and
willis, his skull paves the pyramid to be raised to
the prowess of the progressves, his conhscated
salary will enrich their exchequer and enlarge
their ranks.
