Icy UP the HUpsos.-From our longcontinned mia

to Albany and our immense river steamers daily on
the wing between that city and New-York. Nothing

floating down from the upper Hudson. The steamboat

The Fort smelling Case.

Speaking Of the connection Of Secretary
Floyd with the Fort Smelling Sale. Forney's
Press broadly insinuates that whatever Mr.
Floyds action was in that matter, it was un
doubtedly known aud sactionea by the Pres.
ilent and other me IN bers Of the Cabinet. 1t
/, likewise hinted with much show Of reason
that because Mr.. Floyd holds near political
relations to Governor Wise and because he
was unwilling to lend himself to the mach-
nations and proscriptive policy Of the All
mipistra'ion, this attempt has been made TO
involve him in difficulties 1t is confidently
asserted that Mr.. Floyd has not in any one
Of the acts mentioned, done anything by
which benefit could arise to himself That
he has also acted under instructions from
the President i, beyond doubt.
These iuttmations which seem based upon
a knowledge Of the facts in the case, show to
what lengths the administration is willing
to go to secure a perfect, imperious, tyran
icil control OF the aft. rs Of the Republic
Perhaps the President is justified in taking
this course. He has already gone TO such a
length that retreat Is isinp7ssible. Urged on
