The ARMY Extraordinarily Secretary of
War has done good thing in calling together
the special board of army officers, which meets
to-day in Washington to consider and report in
detail their opinion upon these important points
Of retrenchment of the army expenses, to wit
How and 10 what extent the transportation
army be reduced and the present cost OF transportation
be brought down.
To what extent the animals required in the ser.
vice Of the Quartermasters department be reduced In
numbers consistently with the wants Of the army and
how can those required be supported more economically
What the best mode OF purchasing horses for the
mounted service.
at posts and in the field, be reduced.
What is the best and most economical plan for quar-
tiers and barracks either or temporary at new
g. What plan Should be adopted for the disposal Of
posts no longer needed for military purposes.
With such experienced officers as Ripley, Gar
nett, Eaton, Chapman, Marcy, and the others
constituting this board, we have reason to anti
cipate some very considerable trimmings and
prunipgs They ought to be able to reduce the
costs of the service at least five millions below
the December estimates of the Department, and
we trust they will work up some such bill Of re-
lief before the expiration of the week. In be-
half Of the reduction of the costs of transpOrta-
ton we have an excellent idea to give them
the recall of two-tbirds or three-fourths Of the
troops in Utah. Every thousand men thus re-
called to any point within reach of navigation
will be equal we presume, to the saving in
transportation of subsistence of million of dol
lars year. A thousand or eight hundred regu.
lar troops are competent to maintain law and

THE FINANCIAL IMBROGIIo IN CONGRESS-
There is positive, and to all appearances
very resolute majority, in the House of Repre-:
sentatives against any more issues of Treasury
notes, and any more loans, until there shall have
been something done to replenish the Treasury
from the solid receipts of the customs. For
example, Mr.. Phelps, Chairman on Ways and
Means, moved ION Monday LAST suspension of
the rules, in order to introduce a bill for
reissue for two years Of some twenty millions of
Treasury notes, and the motion was rejected by
vote of 100 to SO. And this majority, exceed.
ing twenty, we apprehend will hold good in the
House against all attempts to give the tariff the
go-by, and to fall back upon more loans or
Treasury notes. The Senate, we suspect, is
equally decided against giving the tariff ques-
the precedence; and thus, between these two
stools, there is every chance that the Treasury
will fall to the ground, or, in other words, that
this Congress will close without touching the
financial necessities of the government. An
extra session of the new Congress- therefore.
looms up into bold relief, as one of the most
probable contingencies of the coming summer.
Very well. So be IT, The President "a we
have already shown may turn an extra session
to good account, not only in the matter OF tenn
porary relief, but in reference to a cotapreleu.

CORRECTIONS ABOUT Mr.. SICKLEs.-We are in
formed on competent authority that the story
which has been circulated of differences between
Hon. MIR. Sickles, Member of Congress, and Mr.
Butterworth, of the Assay Office in this city, is
entirely incorrect. 1t will be recollected that
Mr.. Butterworth was the second of Mr.. Sickles
in the Tucker affair, and probably the CORES
pondence which took place in that affair gave
rise to the mistake. At all events, the friend.
ship between the two gentlemen is as strong as
ever.
Another Washington correspondent mentioned
that Mr.. Sickles was agent for claim in
one Of the departments, held by Secor e.
Co., of this city. Mr.. Sickles is lawyer by
profession, and very good In his line; and
if any gentleman having a case in the
courts at Washington, or elsewhere, chooses TO
select him as counsel, he has perfect right to
do 20, and Mr. Sickles has an equal right to &C.
cept the case, which, in fact would be only prac-
Using In his line of business. 1t is no imputa-
ton against the character of lawyer that he
attends to his professional duties and takes care
OF the interests Of his clients But Il bappens
that Mr.. Sickles is not the agent or the LAWYER
in that claim, and our correspondent must have
been led into mistake, not from any unfriendly
purpose, but from laundering propensity on the
part of bis informant
These are very small matters for the friends
of Mr.. Sickles to complain of, for If the state
ments were all true, they would not involve any
reflection on his character either as politician
or as professional man. He had perfect right
to quarrel with Mr.. Butterworth If he had rea-
Sons; but he has not done so, and he is still bis
friend, including also Ike Fowler, who is little
slippey. He had perfect right, as lawyer and
man of business, to take a fee, if offered to him,
in the case of Secor & Co., as well as in any
other case but it seems that in that case he
has done nothing of the kind, and will be so
much the loser
AS politician, however, he seems to have oc.

TIE GENERAL NEWSPAPER DESPATCH.
WAaurNcrOy Fob TX II

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, 1859.
The President in reply to a resolution Of the House.
communicated message today, enclosing report from
the Attorney General who says that the local officers of
the government at Savannah have been specially and
strictly enoned to perform the duties imposed on them
by the several acts Of Congress- for the suppression of the
slave trade that special counsel has been employed to
aid the District Attorney In prosecuting the Offenders that
the advces received satisfactorily show the diligence and
activity of all persons engaged in the public service
to find the negroes who clandeenely introduced
to identity the parties engaged in the crme and ascertain
other important facts connected with the transaction
All this has been attended to with many difficulties; but
there good reason to hope they will be overcome and
justice according TO the law of the land executed upon
the offenders But the present condition of affairs is such
as to make absolutely impossible that the proceedings
already instituted, those in contemplation should be
given in detail, without very great prejudice to the public
interest.
II appears from official document that the cost of
the sites of the navy yards at Portsmouth, Boston, New
York. Philadelphia, Washington Norfolk, Blythe Island
Mare Island Sackctts Harbor Pensacola and the amount
expended in improvements thereon to the LIST OF Deem
Der, 1868, far be ascertaned $50 2s7 600

cupied very prominent position in the face of
the assailants Of Mr.. Buchanan and his measures
and on that score he has given general satisfac-
ton to his constituencies course which some Of
his friends have not followed up with the same
zeal and the same tenacity of purpose that he
has done. We wish Mr.. Sickles would infuse a
little of his spirit and pluck into the democracy
Of Tammany Hail. All the original JGertt of that
old concern seems to have gone of with Fernan-
do Wood. Ike Fowler 4 Co. are slow team at
best.

The GRIEVANCES OF STATEN IsIAND-A New
STATE REQUIRED IN THE UNIoN-The extermi-
nation of Quarantine at Staten Island last fall
has involved the residents of that insular ap-
pendage to the State of New York in some pecu-
mary troubles which foreshadow heavy draft
on their pockets. Subsequent to the confagra-
ton, when legal proceedings were instituted
against the parties alleged to be the ringleaders
subscription was taken up among the inhabi-
tants of Richmond county, amounting, we be-
Heve, to about nine thousand dollars, for the
purpose of defending the individuals prosecuted
and defraying such other expenses as were in
CURED by the summary removal of Quarantine
The Supervisors of the county have framed the
tax levy for the present year. and we under
stand that the taxes on property have been in
creased nearly forty per cent, as is alleged, to
meet the expenses which have arisen out of the
proceedings OF the first and second of Septem
Der last; the county thus voluntarily taxing
itseli with the amount required to carry out
these proceedings, both of legal and-as it is
clalmed-an illegal character, in addition to the
subscriptions to private fund already created.
The Legislature, it must be remembered have
also In consideration the question whether
the county of Richmond shall not be
held accountable for the entire damages
accruing from the burning of the Quaran-
tine buildings, including the expenses of main
tanning Governor Kings army of occupation.
II this should be determined against the Staten
Islanders, 1t seems that they will have to pay
three Tunes over for the luxury of pure and
heai'ny atmosphere, free from the dangers Of
pestllence; SO that in pecuniary point of view,
the destruction of the Quarantine hospitals will
have proved costly affair to the parties inte-
rested.
This is decidedly hard case, and in view of
the ,meddling Legislation at Albany with which
this city and its neighboring counties are aflict-
ed-tbe Metropolitan Police law, Quarantine
laws, Commissions, and so forth-would it not
be good idea, as If the only escape from the
nuisance, to create a new independent State,
composed of the three islands, Manhattan, Long
Island and Staten Island, whose interests are in
measure identical? We are fully competent to
govern ourselves without the assistance of the
ssgacioas legislators from the country districts
who row make laws for us. A very appropri-

would be the State Of Triainsula, or the Three

may be the worst thing that could happen for
them, it may prove to be the best thing that
could happen for the administration and the
country.
