Portraits of sIidell and Mason.

"slidelI, as the American public know, is
an intriguer Of the first order, combining the
keenness and energy of his native Nsrth with
q depth of seoretiveness and maliguity which
belongs properly TO climes nearer the equator
than even his adopted South. He is a sort of
cross between the fox and the tiger. Expert
enced, energetic, dextrous, unscrupuIous and
fred by quenchless hatred Of the section which
gave him birth and of the country to which he
owes allegiance, he is admirably fitted to push
the interestSOf the rebellion in countries whore
his own is neither loved nor comprehended.
AS for Mason, whatever may be said of him in
the extravaganza of righteous scorn, his power
is by no means to be despised. He is In many
respects a dangerous adversary. His astute
ness, his self possession, his audaoity of pre-
tension, bis skill and experience in affairs, the
prominent figure he has cut heretofore in our
public life, and even the ancestral glory that
made fool of him here, would alike oonspir
to render him effective abroad in the capacity
in which he sought TO go. With all his many
and indefeasible titles to contempt, ii can no
be denied that he is we'll informed, ingeniou
and plausible. ."--LouisviHe Journal.

President. MAKING IN THE cABINET.-TwO

opens back fire upon Cameron, Chase, Blair,

The Army OF the POTOMAC.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune says:
"ThOugh nobody pretends to know McCel-
lan's plans, the impression is very general that
he intends to drive forward at Manassas, and
having thrown out powerful corps d'drmee on
either flank, to move upon the center, or very
opex of the frowning triangle, with compact
mobile columns. These are to succeed one
another with rapidity and freshness, each in
turn falling off and giving place to It's successor
as soon as the tempest Of its energies begins
to flag, a.
GAS to the time when, it is almost as hard to
fix the date of movement as it was q month
ago. There certainly is much that is yet to be
done before Mcclellan will De satisfied to move.
The review which took place on Wednesday
last, though it numbered seventy thousand
men, exercised but a third of our entire fore,
in that necessary style of massive evolution
and it would seem, by the patient manner il
which the General has conducted these fell
examinations, even from the day he began tn
organization of brigades, that he intends to b.
thorough with them all. ="

The Frankfort (Ky) Commonwealth, speak
ing of Colonel John Cochranes speech in
favor ofemploying the slaves ofrebels against
the rebellion, says
The policy indicated by Mr.. Cochraue is
exactly right, and in accordance with the
ussges of civilized warfare. We hope to see
it adopted by the Government. 1t should
have been at first. Had it been, many lives
of loyal citizens would have been saved that
were lost through the wishy washy and an
omalous conduct Of the Government toward
traitors in arms. Since the commencement
of this most unna ural war, it has been safer
to be bel than to be loyal to the Govern.
ment. The extreme punishment of treason
has thus far been an "oath of allegiance
which rebel will take with as much sang
froid as he would a gin cocktail. Why should
not the slaves of traitors in arms be conis-
Gated to the use of the Government2 The
Democrat will not deny that slaves are prop
erty, as clearly so as are mules. Is it right
and proper to confscate a mule, and put il to
hauling transportation? If it is, why is il
not equally right and proper to conf5cate Q
slave for a driver of that mule? Both are
property, and both are employed by the reb.
els in their attempt to destroy this Govern.
ment. We believe in fighting the devil
with fire."

1t is said that General Mcclellan had
planned a grand flank movement few days
ago, but an ascension by Lowe in his bal
loon revealed the fact that the rebels had
anticipated the flank movement, probably
through the treachery OF some one connected
with the army.
1t is also said that General Mcclellan as
serts that the extent of the treachery must
be astonishing in some quarter, for every
one of his designs or proposed movements
are very soon discovered by the enemy.
We advise the General to keep his secrets
to himself without getting any help to keep
them. Get up grand review of two hun
dred thousand troops at time; take posi-
ton, and have the troops all march past be
sure they are headed toward the South, and
then never give the order "Halt" till they
reach the Gulf Let the news of your com.
ing reach them at the same time your tri-
umphant columns do. Let coumbiads be
the tattlers and carry the news for once
