Colonel Whiting.

Col Whiting of the I'd Vt regiment, has
deemed it his duty to place Major Joyce un-
der arrest, allowing him the liberty of the
camp only 1t is stated that the cause of the
arrest is letter written by the Major, which
appeared in the Times some two weeks since.
We suspect. however, that indscreet Ito use
mild term conduct and language on the
part of the Major towards his superior Off
Ger, has occasioned the arrest, rather than
the letter in Observation-Disclosures" Free
Press, 18th.
1t has not been our intention to notice the
various rumors respecting the officers OF any
of our Vermont regiments, either in praise of
their gallantry, which is so patent to every
Nermonter as to be fully appreciated, nor the
criticisms in which some OF our newspapers
have, as We think, too freely indulged; for to
speak of any one in particular, where all have
fought SO bravely, would be out of place.
or to speak of the errors, which are as natu-
raj as human frailty is true,-and besides We
regard these judgments of the conduct of Of
ticers and men, surrounded by adverse cir
cumstances, such as we in peaceful homes
can know nothing of, as having most del
eterious influence, and as doing no possible
good.
Inc opinions of military men Of long expe-
and tbnrouun al,o,+;,, 49,.
should have more weight with US than that
of any one influenced by jealousy or smart
ing under reprimand for misconduct and
lmprudence, to attribute nothing worse to
them, and an investigation would prove, we
believe. that much Of the disatfection express
Ell against Col Whiting arises from what
even these fault finders will acknowledge to
be the very thing for which he should be sus.
tanned, J. to Wit that he is a thorough discj-
p.inarian.

This is considered satisfactory although at

Mr.. Seward says, in reply to Faulkner's
answer that force would not be used, &c. !;
that the time when these questions had any
pcrtincncy has passed. Insurgents, with
deadly warfare, seek to compel the Govern
ment to recognize the diSmemberment Of
the Union. We have accepted this civil
war as an inevitable necessity Consttu-
tional remedies are still open to the insur-
gents, and will remain so. You cannot be

Government that no idea does or will exist

The Richmond Examiner is considera-
bly, exercised on the subject of Washington
City. 1t calls upon Virginia and Maryland
to rush in and dive out the Black Republi-
cans. "From the mountain-tops and val
leys to the shores of the sea there is one
wild shout of fierce resolve to capture
Washington City at all and every human
hazard. That filthy cage of uDclean birds
must and will assuredly be purified by fire."
From this we infer that it is the intention
of the gallant Virginians to burn the capi-
tai when they have taken it. sour people
can take it." howls the Eraminer, ''they
will take it-and Scott the Arch-Traitor
aud Lincoln the Beast combined cannot
prevent it." The chivalric taste of these
epithets is sufficient to Indicate their South
ern origin. No one but a stakeholder
could be capable of the fine feFOcity of call
ing the President Of the United States q
beast or of terming the loyal and devoted
Scott traitor. It is only in the land
where when they shout for Liberty they
mean Slavery that such abuse of language
could be POssible.-Iri6Uns.

Washington, May 5.-The State Depart
Inent furnished the President with the Off
cial correspondence between Minisrrs Faux
ner and Thouvenal on American affairs
Faulkner informed him that the President
entertained full confidence in the speedy re-
storation of harmony and unity in the Gov
ernment; that events might produce tenn
porary Inconvenience to French subjects,
but all injury should be indemnifed; that
the President thought it not improbable
that there would be an appeal made to for
eign Governments by the Confederate
States for recognition of their Independ-
ence, and when such and appeal is made it
shall be opposed by the Minister who may
then represent the United States.
Faulkner said the only request he had TO
make was that no proposition recognizing r
dsimeberment of the Union shall be consid-
cred by France till the arrival of the Min
ster who will be fully instructed.
Thouvenal replied, "No application has
yet been made. The French Government
has never acted hastily on such questions" ="
He aassured Faulkner that no precpilate
action would be taken on the subject by the
Emperor. He said the established usage
WAS to recognize dc facto Government when
a proper case was made out. In reply to a
question, Faulkner, said that force would
not be used, and that the only solution was
a modification of the Constitution or peace
able acquiescence in the claim of separate
sovereignty. Thouvenal thought the en-
ployment of force unwise.
