PAPER HANQN2S
MISCELLA
nROSP HGTUS OF THE WEEKLY
L NATIONAL REPUBLICAN.


The undersigned commenced, In the month of
December last, the publication, in this city, Of
aweekly newspaper, called the National Rep's'
iiCdn.
1t is printed on n large sheet, twenty seven
by forty two inches, and is furnished attho low
prices stated below.
It will contain all the original matter Of the
daily National Republican, with the exception
of local news not interesting to country sub.
scrbers.
It viii give full reports Of the proceedings Ct
Congress, and Of the other departments Of the
National Government.
1t will contain all the news Of the day, foreign
and domestic, markets, &C., &C., as well AZ an
original correspondence from all parts Of the
country. The miscellaneous department will
receive special attention, and, in all respects,
the effort will be made to establish the charaG.
ter of the National Republican as Family
Newspaper.
Washington being now the central point Of
the current military operations, great attention
will be paid to furnishing the readers OF the
National Republican with full, and especially
with accurate, accounts of the progress of the
war for the Union.
In politics, the paper will be Republican, sus.
tanning the Administration of Mr.. Lincoln, but
dsclaiming, however, any pretension " be the
organ of the President.
The is no other Republican paper In the Dis
trict of Columbia, or in the vicinity Of it, and
1t is believed that recent events have opened 10
such a paper an important sphere of useful
effort. The time has come, when the actual
administration of the Government upon Repub
lican principles will explode the misrepresen-
,a;ions which have made those principles 80
distasteful to the South.
But it is not only hero, and In this Vicinity,
that the projectors of the National Republican,
hope to make il useful. To the whole country
they offer Il journal which will discuss national
politics from a national standpoint, and which
will never be sworved from patriotic duty by
any oyerp0wering pressure Of local interest.

THR LATEST WAR NEWS.

Affairs at Washington remain in state OF
quiet. The picket skirmishes Of the last two
days appear to have resulted in the death Of only
one Of our men, aud the wouuding Of two; none
were captured. 1t is believed that theso demon
stratiOns amounted only to q reconnaissance in
force, though some think that they were in
tended TO cover a retrograde movement Of the
Rebels. Every thing in connection with our army
is in condition Of perfect preparation for what
ever may come, and Gen. Mcclellan, with the
officers under him, are always on the alert. We
hear from the Rebels that the measles and other
diseases are among them, and that the leaders
desire an engagement, believing it necessary 70
keep their men from the depressing effects Of m,
action. .".
t.The War Department has Issued an order,
| founded on the recent act Of Congress concern
ing giving aid and comfort to the Rebels, threat
ening with severe penalties all who shall by YER
bal, written or telegraphic correspondence fur
nish to the enemy such information as shall BE-
Of advantage TO them.
From Gen. Banks's column, we learn that the
UniOnists are rapidly leaving Harper's Ferry n
great LuMoers. lhe ODiy Secession force there,
appears to be $50 cavalry. From Martinsburg,
it is reported that the Rebels have taken two
locomotives belonging TO the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad to Winchester, where they have also
sent portion Of the machinery from the com.
psuy's workshops, breaking up and destroying
the remainder; it is furthermore stated that they
intend taking up enough Of the railroad track 81
lay down communication between Winchest.
and sfrausburg. RumOrs prevailed Of an in
tended Rebel demonstration at Edwards Ferry,
or some point near there.
From Missouri, we learn that The Rebsls,
encouraged by exaggerated reports of the battle
Of Springfield, are cOngregstiug in large number
in the neighbOrhood, committing oil sorts of cut.

hand, with more coming daily; and, though it
is hard to think OF the cavalry regiments that
we might have had in June, and are on'y form
ing as August sdes into September we shall
have q very respectable body of horsemen In the
next general engagement.
The Commissarist is practically in the hands
of Col. Richard Taylor (brother Of the lamented
General and President Zachary Taylor)-Gen.
Gibson having been bed-rdden for nearly tive
years. Aud never were the important duties Of
Commissary General more conscientiously or more
efficiently performed. PeculatiOn stands no ghost
Of chance, while waste and want are alike un-
known under hs able aud vlgiant supervision.
1t is stiil possible that some Of the regimental
or company officers may rob or neglect the men
whom it is their duty to feed; but the ratious
served out are abundant aud of the best quslity.
IL they are only as well cooked and fairly ap-
portioued, our soldiers must SO into the next
battle in very different condition from that IN
which they fought at Bull Run.
Doubtless, the enemy is also receiving re-
snforceueuts and supplies, but we bsl'eve his
strength is not increasing nor his men acquiring
efficiency 30 fast a. ours: 80 we trust battle
may bs postponed for como days yet. If Beau
regard sees ft to assail our intrenchments, how
ever, that alters the case.

The Heraid's Jealous, untiring efforts to convert

log been put forth by that sheet within the

knew what our course has been on the difficult
topic so recklessly handled by The Herald, and
that we propose 10 let the Government Of the
United States define the scope, objects, and end
of The War, while we second the efforts OF that
Government 10 the extent Of our ability. We

of the prcss. 1t is noteworthy fact that these
journals at the present critical juncture in public
affairs, are equally loud 10 the expression OF their
sympathy fcr the Rebels with whom the country
is at war; In their zeal 10 vindcate that clause
of the Constitution which defines and guarantees
the liberty of journalism, they seem to have
overlooked that other cuuse which declares that
giving aid and comfort TO the enemies OF their
country in time of war s treason. We can as-
sure such Of our cOtemporaries as fall within
this category, that their vOcferous advocacy OF
tho freedom Of the press does not teud IN the
least tn misead the public mnd in regard to the
motive which impes this stimulated zeal in de-
fenss of precious right, nor to qualify the unan-
unity of the popular judgment which condemns
them - traitors TO their impered country, aDd
friends Of its armed foes. They are abusing the
sacred right guaranteed TO all men by the Con-
stitution. Some Of them have been mildly pun
ished for their crimes. Others yet 90 unwhipt
of Justice Due retrlbution, we trust, is in store
for the whole of them.
The fact that the right TO publish newspaper is
protected by the Constitution, is not more clearly
established than ID the other fact that lts exercise
cannot be abused with impunity. Doubtless, oi-
tenders are to be punished according to some one o
the modes recognized by law. For example; libel
of individuals can be reached by civil suit or ndic;-
ment. But 10 the time of war, when Journals Ia
Dor assiduousIy to aid and comfort the enemy, and
cripple and discourage their country, the engencies
of the case caunot brook the proverbial delay Of the
civil law. Indeed, the ordinary remedies OF the
courts may ott-tmes aggrayate rather than arrest
the mischief In extreme cases, martial law can
alone be made efectual to prevent treacherous
and reasonable journal from daily stabbing the
country in the back, while tho country is graphing
with armed enemies ia front
We need not say, that have ever opposed all
measures for suppressing even the most miScheyous
and obnoxious newspapers, by any mode other shan
those known to the law. The mistaken lenity OF
the Government toward journals, undisgused in
their sympathy with the Confederate Rebels, may
provoke mObs, but it cannot excuse them. In tie
long run, all such methods Of meteing out justice,
njure the cause they are intended to subserye. We
may say, however, that those editors and newspa-
per which in by-gone days, have encouraged the
destruction BY mob violence OF presses that they

on THE POTOMAC,

Whether there shsl bo o battle near Washing.
ton within the next few days is question to be
decided BY Gen. Beauregsrd after that, we bs-
le7e Gen. Mcclellan will have something TO say in
the premises. For the present, however, every
day adds t0 the positiye-and, we presume, also
30 the relative-eficency Of our main army,
which is being rapidly strengthened in numbers,
see us far stronger than We ere to-day. hence
we conclude that if there be battle meantime,
it viii bo OF Beauregards seeking But, should
the enemy see fit to try the strength Of our lines
stretching from Alexandria TO the Chain Bridge,
or, making those lines, to cross the Potomac,
either above or below Washington, Gen. NcClel-
Ian will doubtless be happy to meet him aS any
time that may be agreeable
There s no demur to tho general award TO
Gen. Mcclellan of the credit Of having re-created
the Army Of the Potomac. His activity, his
energy, hrs suavity, his military Skil and decision,
have wrought wonders within the few days
that he has been in command on this side of the
Aleghanes. The hotels Of Washington no longer
glisten with epauleltes and military buttons; her
streets are 10 longer ehOked Win drunken, de-
moralized, begging priVates; We hear no more of
soldiers being killed in infamous haunts, Lor of
the burning Of those hauntt by way of reprisal
Every man knows hs place and keeps il; and
no army was ever moro faithfully drilled or i'm.

Much Of this Improvement is due to the ap-
pointment Of Gen. Gate Capt.) Meigs as Quar-

department Of the service is almost magical. No
more DO regiments arrive in Washington, weary,
