Secretary s ward states that the North

PENDING partnership, and that there can
be no sense or good Judgment eyinced by

The Imperial ApPea rance of the
White House,.

The Washington correspondent of Willis
Home Journal makes an item in one of his let
ters about the appearance of the White House,
which we transfer to our columns as follows:
Until now, the Presidential mansion has always
seemed to me slenderly serYed-the one or two
shabby coated servants who were TO be seen oc-
easionally in the lonely corridors, not being
enough for the proper stateliness of the dwelling
of the Chief Magistrate But it is surprising
what an Improvement is made by the multiplying
of uniforms and sentries. The noble gates seem
for the first time suitably attended, and the thick
sprinkling of officers among the crowds in the
halls and avenues, accord rightly with the archi-
lecture and associations. With the playing OF
the relocated Marine Band in the grounds, the
other afternOon-the gay crowd of ladies and
soldiers, and the Presidents family in the halt
circle Of the balecny-it was really difficult not
to believe ones self in Vienna, the White House,
for once, looking sumptuousy imperial.
Such is the gorgeous description of the sur
roundings of the White House, as it appears un-
der tie occupancy Of Honest Old ABE LIN
COLIN" the rail-splitter. Formerly it was plainly
served and but few servants appeared within the
edfee. The Chief Magistrate had no body
guard; no platoon of soldiers infested the avenues
to the dwelling of the Chief Magistrate of the
Nation. Itwas in fact the paragon of Republi-
can simplicity. But how changed since ABRA-
HAM the Illinois railsplitter became its occupant
Itnow looks "sumptuously imperial. and reminds
the bewildered beholder of scenes in Vienna.
What a changel How soon, alas how soon will
this imperiel display give way to the former sim
plcity of the Executive mansion. May the time
speedily come.

violation. OF the Cop.titut,ou.

The Chicago Post, in commenting upon the
proposition of Senator CHANDLER to introduce a
bill confscate the property of all Governors of
States, members of Legislatures, Judges of Courts
and all military officers above the rank of Lieu
tenant, who shall take up arms against the Gov
ernment of the United States, or aid and abet
treason; all such individuals to be forever dis
qualified from holding Office, &C., under the Uni
ted States; and such property coniscated to be
applied to restore to Union men in rebel States
any losses they may have suffered, remarks:
We can say to those who are for conducting
this war upon a system of terror, that they NAV
step too far There is lurking devil of hostility
to the war, aad its traces can be discovered in
every village in the broad land. Let those en-
trusted with the conduct of the war change its
avowed purpose and object, and instead of being
the especial guardians of the law and the Consti-
tuition, become their most INSCRIPTIONS violators,
and that devil will come forth from its kennel at.
tended with such numerous progeny, and all so
deep mouthed in their opposition, that the wa:
may be adjourned from Richmond to points nearer
home. Do not let the men entrusted with the
dcstinies of the Union, arm by their misconduct,
and high handed outrages upon the Constitution,
the now latent treason at home. Let the Govern
ment act in strict obedience to the Constitution,
and it will be backed to the last BY the people;
but let it rival the rebels in a war upon the Con
sttution, and it will call and call in vain for
cor upon a people betrayed by their own chosen
ministers.

Scientific Regina Mundi. .

Our readers will doubtless be historically glad
to know that the science of ballooning has been
perfected to the extent indicated in the following
telegraIhic dispatch from
Mm-Arn QOmiles below heaven) July i.
DEAR WINFIELD-There are IA ,999 troops in
Richmond, and not $4,000, as enormously stated
by the New York Herald and The Flag Of our
. Union.
As near as | can ascertain from my present
altitude, the rebels are provisioned as follows:
Five baes of cotton. four plates of vanilla ice
cream, six of strawberry ditto, five barrels of
-four FIVE bushels of buckwheat cakes, one plate
of ham and eggs, one barrel of pork, two barrels
OF gin cocktails twenty bottles of brandy smashes
three mint juleps, fonr whisky punches two lam
onades, one sherry cobbler, and a good deal Of
molasses candy.
Gen. Beauregard and staff are now holding
consultation as to the propriety of taking their
liquor straight. In the way of ammunition they
are well provided. In addition to their field pieces,
they have the Cincinnati Commercials cor
respondence, and other weapons of equally great
bore and small caliber.
A letter has just been received from JEFF. Da-
Wis, which am hardly able to read, owing to the
density Of the atmosphere beneath me, the troops
having lately loaded their pipes.
Ben. Mccullough is playing seven-up with the
officers of the day. Trumps appear to be Benja-
minis portion.
Gen, Pillows body guard are going through a
change Of shirts.
A man has Just been detected in the act of
writing to his wife. He is now on his way to the
guard house as a spy.
Yours, LowLY.

sen.ation Item..

The New York Tribune's special Washington
dispatches of Monday, contain the following
items, which look rather sensational:
The Hon. Henry May. member of Congress
from Baltimore, is said to be in Richmond. How
he got there, and what is his business, we are UNI
able to explain. The man is vet to be seen in
Washington" who knows anything about his
journey or its purposes 1t is singular how he
could get through our lines, and quite as singular
that passport should have been granted him
with his skin-deep Unionism, to visit the capital
of secession.
The Baltimore dispatches to the same paper,
dated Sunday, say:
The Hon Henry May left Baltimore on Tues
day last for Richmond, Virginia. where he now is.
Various run,ors are in circulation in relation to
his visit. Previous to his starting he had an in
terview with President Lincoln but whether in
connection with his visit is not known. 1t is said
to day that he was invited to Richmond by JEFF.
Davis, and that he is accompanied by two promi-
nent Pennsylvanians, both friends of the Govern
ment.
Here Isl a hit at General ScorT from the same
source: ~ -
Lieutenant General Scott entertained Mr.
Crittenden and six Kentucky members at dinner
party on the evening of Mr. Cs arrival. Whether
Mr. Breckenridge, Mr.. Burnett, and Gen. Buckner
were of the party, We can not inform the imperti-
nent public. ar rrr. .
