THE DANCERS or PRoAorIoS.-Thurlow
Weed writes from Washington, that our valiant
contemporary. Chevalier Webb. is to be made
Brigadier General. Hence the remarkable
article in yesterdays Courier, concerning the
best no0e of prosecuting the war. 1t Is Webb
in uniform, rersas Webb in black, the Briga-
der against the Chavalier. Make haste slow
l9' Gays the BIigadier "weIe delay not
necessary, it should be resorted to, as impera-
lively demanded by every consideration of
military expedieney." Even though every
thing were ready, procrastiDaton is still ad-
visable. Discreet valor Admirable tender
ness for the whole bones of his soldiers! $50
far from urging the government to advance
upon the rebels, we should not" continues the
Brigadier, edo anything Of the kind for weeks
to Gomez The wisdom Of the Brigadier is
apparent, and there is no doubt that he will
return from the wars with an unbroken skin.
Neither let any superficial reader presume to
accuse the peace-loving Brigadier of inconsis-
tency, because of the cruel, pitiless, bloody
minded counsels to government of the unpro.
NOTED Chevalier. Honores mutant mores
The Chevalier was morose and disconnected,
because Mr.. Lincoln had plotted against his
peace and ra,ions, by trying to send him among
the Turks, on short allowance. Like others of
his disappointed colleagues, be felt privileged
to rail and scold. Why not? 1t hurt nobody;
he liked it, and nobody cared. But now he is
clothed with solemn responsibilities. Not only
bis own "bacon" but that of a great many
Others worth saving, depends upon his pru.
dence. "The result of defeat, he has disco
vered, ''would be disastrousw The Brigadier
repents, therefore, of the sins of the Chevalier'
The latter did wrong to complain of the mac
tivity of the President, the Secretary Of War,
and General Scott" and the former promises
to do SO no more. The country will applaud;-
it cannot afford to lose the services of our
contemporary, either in cautious epaulettes, or
in intrepid goosequill.

GOVERNOR ANDREW HITS THE NAIL on THE
HEAD.-Governor Andrew, in his message to
the Massachusetts, Legislature, delivered yes
terday, says" This is no war of sections; no
war of the North on the South; it is waged to
avenge no former wrongs, nor to perpetuate
ancient griefs or memories Of conflict; but 1t is
the struggle of the people to vindicate their
own rights, to retain and invigorate the insti-
tutions of their fathers; the majestic effort Of
national government to vindicate its power
and execute its functions for the welfare and
happiness of the people" That will do. That
statement covers the whole ground, and we
commend this fair, true and just exposition of
the objects of this war TO all those rabid and
mischevous republican organs who would dis
tract the counsels Of loyal men by preaching
crusade Of determination and confscation
against the South. Governor Andrew has been
to Washington, and understands his case.

THE CAMPAIGN Observation-Disclosures IN THE
RAYKs.-We see that the arts have contributed
some Of their most distinguished professors to
the numbers volunteering for the service of
their country. Clifford has gone with the
Seventh as full private ; James M. Hart
has joined the Scotch regiment; Launt Thomp-
son, the sculptor, has enlisted for the three
years. term of service; Ehninger and White
redge are members of volunteer companies;
and Hekking, turned from Prussian soldier
to an artist, now goes back to his first love
soldering again. The history Of the approach
ing campaign will not therefore, want Illus
traitors. If it be costly in one sense, IT will be
productive in another, inasmuch as will

THE WAR IN NEW GRENADA-CAPTURE OF BUE.
NAVENTURA BY THE LIBERAL FORCES
THE BARRACKS BURNT AND OVER THIRTY
SOLDIERS persisted IN THE FLAMES-GREAT
Loss on BOTH SIDES.
The California steamer North Star, of New York re-
ports the arrival Of the U. S. frigae Saranac Captain
Ritchie at Panama, on the Slst ut all well on board.
The Panama Star contains the following details OF the
progress OF civil war in New Grenada.
On the morning of March 10Th, A. NJ, the town OF
Buenaventura attacked by party of between 400
aud 500 liberals under the command of Col Penrosa.-
The fight lasted until P. NJ The government forces
were not more than 100 strong Of these % retreaed
board the government vessels Clio and Saamandra in
the bay, and opened fire on the town, killing and
wOunding many innocent residents of the place.
The large portion of the government troops rereated
TO the cuartel which was we'll fortified being built up
with large wooden logs to the second floor the upper
rart being faced by plates of boiler iron boted to the
building Here they took stand for some tme but the
building either had been set fire by congrove rockets

ed the besieged troops las others asser those who at
tempted to escape from the flames shot down, and
the remainder, from thirty TO thirty five men, including
Sr. Hoyos, persisted in the burning ruins.
When Captain Richie, Of the Saranac landed on the
2Sh days after the encounter he four heaps OF
charred and halburned bodies and to his word

that way"
After the burning Of the Quartet and the victory Of
the Liberals the Clio and Salamanca went to sea- and

We glad TO learn that foreign property was re-
spected and have heard Of outrages having been
committed. When the Saranac sailed the 29ta, the
town held by about $50 of the Liberal troops, all oil
the business houses closed and but very few Of the
inhabitants remained in town, the majority having He'd

We further learn that the Liberals under Peres and

THE DrpucIrY OF THE ADMINISTRATION.

That the administration at Washington, in its pretend
ed pacific policy has practised deliberate deception, is
now too apparent for question. What the Washington
correspondent of the New York Times says, in the sub
Joined extract from his letter. last Friday, is no doubt
true;
There is no foundation for the long stories told of the
original purpose Of the Government to evacuate Fort
Sumter Ar Llco.l has not entertained any such pur-
pose. He has entertained purpose but TO maintain
possession OF the Government property and enforce tue
laws All statements that negotiations entered up
on for the departure Of Mor AndeEsons command were
mere cdarl. got up for tbe purpose Of covering political
defeats The policy OF the Administration never depend
cd upon the contingency of evacuation. IL was fixed

mate skill and terrible effect.
Eieuen o'eloek-A messenger from Morris Island
brings the glorious that the shot glance from the
iron covered battery at Cummings Point, like marbles

portion OF the southwest wall Of Fort Sumter shows
plainly the effect of the terrible cannonade from the
formidable product Of Mr.. G. H. Stevens patriotism and
ingenuity.
A half an hour later the gladstone tidings came that
