WASHINGTON, June 1S.-Secretary
Chase is consulting eminent fnanciers
relative to the revenue. 1t is believed
that revision of the tariff, reducing
the duties and suspending the free list,
will be recommended.
The National Intelligencer says that
unless it receives assistance from North
ern subscribers it must discontinue
l. No official instructions, as to the fate
of the S@vannah's crew, have been re-
ceived, and the impression prevails that
they will be hung.
The War Department has ordered
the rebuilding of the Harper's Ferry
bridge.
Gen. Scott boasts that the evacua-
ton of Harper's Ferry is in perfect ac-
cordance with his plans. No Southern
movement can in the slightest degree
affect his programme.
The Government has information

The Spirit of the Northern Press.
RICHMOND, June l6.-A batch of
New York papers have just been re-
ceived. They are very angry over the
defeat at Bethel.
The Times says Butler has no pru-
dence; Pierce has no courage; and the
sooner these Massachusetts barristers
are dismissed to their pleadings the bet
ter. And adds, that the lives of SOL
diers are too valuable to be squandered
to convert these political hacks into he
?oes.
The Irsbune says, that the war must
be stopped, and the Southern Confeder-
acv recognized, if lie Lincoln troops
cannot do better, and calls for two hum
dred thousand men to push through
Texas, then, if it is defeated, it advises
the Administration to sue for peace.
! The Herald condemns the grand mis-
take by which the Federal troops fired
into each other, and insists that the Of
fcers ought to be cashiered.
The T,raa, with the usual sensation
flourish, published under starting head
ings, fictitious account of "Rebel" bat
teries by Gen Butler. 1t says that
one thousand prisoners were taken, and
that the Confederate troops had six bat
teries of rihed cannon and 68 twelve
Founders, with entrenchments of q
splendid character bitches sixteen feet
deep, etc.
The New York papers, however, gene.
rally tell pretty near the truth and ac'
knowledge their defeat.
, The effect on the North is evidently
bad one, and the people are beginning
to find out their mistake.
