WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP

The SEVENTH REGIMENT New YORK VOL
USrEERs.-We understand that Col. Hickey
has just received telegraphic communication
from Col. Duryee, commanding the Seventh
New York Regiment, at Richmond that the
regiment will leave that place this afternoon
at o'clock for Mount Vernon and Washing
ton. Their arrival in Washington cannot,
therefore, he precisely fixed, as they are to
come In their steamer-prOceeding down the
james river and up the Potomac, stopping at
Mount Vernon on their way. The probability,
however, is, that they cannot reach Washing
ton until late tomorrow evening
WRESTLING TO KEEP THEIR COURAGE UP-
The Philadelphia Press has an OCCASIONAL
correspondent at this point who varies his
staple of wholesale and retail abuse of Demo-
Gratis in public life, at times, with efforts to
misrepresent the true condition of affairs polit-
zeal at the South. His aim is to create the i'm
preston that considerable wing of the South
ern Democracy stand with Senator Douglas Il
al. nominal DemOcratsy on the Kansas ques-
ton or, in other words with the Republicans.
The "splurges' of Mr.. Frederick p Stanton,
the eccentricities of Governor Wise, and the
demagoguism of Mr.. Duncan r. McRae of
North Carolina, (who fOolishly hopes to become
the opposition candidate for Governor of that
State) make up the sum and substance of the
data on which Mr.. - Occasional" thus whistles
to the Northern followers Of Senator Douglas
by way of screwiDg them up to the point of con-
tinuiDg to labor to distract the Democratic
party for the benefit of whom it may concern
the Republican party. Mr.. Occasional pro-
fesses to regard Messrs. Stanton, Wise and
McRae as being decidedly hs representative
men of Southern Democratic party opinion
HTeater nonsense was never printed.
Mr.. McRae is a disappointed office-seeker at
the hands of the people, as is MI Aaron w
'enable-whilOm remarkably windy men,
Der OF Congress from the same State, who is
now ambitious to rival McRae in the affections
OF the :" land distribution Democrats e. e. the
opposition party Of \ orth Carolina. Mr. Ven
able has been about the most pertinacious Of
hce-seeker we ever knew. lie got into Congress
by noninally turning Democrat was the most
vehement Pharisee in politics we ever knew
while in the House, to the annoyance of the
party there and the infinite disgust of the oppo-
sition. Since his district got rid of him be has
been one Of the most restless men in the State,
making 1t ring from one end to the other with
his " claims" on the party. They have been
urged here, teo, with zeal and pertinacity
worthy OF Far better cause. In neither quar-
ter has Mr.. Nenable been successful in his as.
piratiOns. Hence Mr. Venable has turned dig
tribution" Democrat, with a virtual announce
ment that he hopes through that dodge to get
into the Senate of the United States. We
know North Carolina sufficiently well to rest
satisfied that this last somersault Of his will
render assurance doubly sure that he will be
compelled to continue in uneasy political OBJ
scurity for the balance of his days sharing the
fate Of Mr.. Duncan K McRae.
SO the political world wags in that quarter.
where gentlemen holding bis views will find
themselves as powerless as Mr.. Wise was be-
fore the Virginia Legislature, in his epis,olary
advocacy of the views Of Senator Douglas On
Kansas. 1t will be recollected that while the
Philadelphia Press was first assuring its read
ers that Gov. Wise was carrying the State be-
fore him for anti-LecomptOnism, the Legisla-
ture was actually adopting strong pro Lee
conn on resolutions, in spite of the influence
oil I Governor deserved personal popularity
wiz not a few of the members of that body.
As for Mr. Stanton in Tennessee-the idea
that be possesses any influence there is prepos-
ferrous. lie long since abandoned Tennessee
for the business of claim agent here, which is
his proper home if he has a fixed residence any
where, We take it. Really no other man we
know OF has less identity or less weight in Ten
nessee, where his anti-Lecomptonism has met
not single sympathizer. unless it be some
ltinerant Yankee sojOurniDg there to teach
schooi, sell patent rights, put up cotton gins
or TO some other such end. The truth is, no
one at the South who even winked in favor Of
the views OF Senator Douglas on the Kansas
question, has failed to go so far to leeward "a
never to be heard of hereafter in politics and
the effort Of Mr.. - Occasional. =" of the phil
delphia Press, 10 create a contrary impression
simply amounts to WhiStliDg, as it were, to keep
up the courage Of those nominal Democrats Of
the North who would continue to play into the
hands Of the Republican party.
