We would be pleased to believe that
Mr.. Tilton had been unjustly charged
with secession synpathies, but he vii!
rot deny that lie had in his employ
those who had openly acknowledged
themselves seccssionists, for whom he
made ample provision from the annual
appropriation for prosecuting the pub
lie surveys, almost as his last official
act. lie also declares that he els not
a supporter of Mr.. Lincon's Admins
tration." Every effort of the Admins
tration thus far has been directed to
the suppression of rebellion in the
Cotton States, and how man can be
in favor of putting down the rebellion
and opposed to an Administration
based entirely upon this one idea, is
more than we can conceive, and we
must be excused from recognizing Mr..
Tilton as a reliable Union man until
he explains this palpable contradiction.
The fact that Mr.. Tilton may have
fought bravely at Moline del Rey, in
Mexico, under the Stars and Stripes,
is no more evidence Of his loyaltyto that
flag now, than is the fact that because
Twiggs, Beauregard and Johnston, and
hundreds of others who fought SO gal
lantly upon the Mexican battle fields.
in company with Mr.. Tilton, they are
not traitors no'o.
We hope MIR. Tilton will lose no time
in removing all doubt Of his loyalty to
the Government by an unconditional
expression of his approval of the meas
which have been adopted by the Ad-
ministration for putting down this re.
bellion, and his desire to see this speed
lily accomplished.
D% We take pleasure in announcing
that our friend and contributor, J. g.
Swan, Esq, has in course of rrepara-
ton series Of articles relative to Wash
ington Territory, for the STANDARD,
which will undoubtedly prove of great

to have been Maryland vessel and was formerly

Unfounded statements OF character prejudi-
cial TO the public interests frequently appearing in
the telegraphic news of journals published at
distance from the capital the inquiry is often made
why this Government permits such dispatches to
pass over the wires Il is therefore proper to say
that these statements really go by mail and not
by telegraph, or are prepared at the points where
they appear.

nected with the troubles in his regiment now in

admit loss ofsome forty killed and about eighty
wounded.
The rebels claim to have spiked the guns of
the Zouaves and destroyed all their camp equip
age. They also claim to have committed great
slaughter among the Zouayes, but give no num-
Der of the killed. The rebels also say that they
carried on number OF prisoners.

The receipts for beeyes this week are larger
at the 44th street Washington drove yards, than
any they have before recorded; and they are the
largest for the market since November ~, 1860;
this heavy increase is owing chiefly to the delay
of trains last week on the Erie railroad, and to
the fact that 400 head of rejected G0yernmen.
cattle were thrown upon the market A good
many State cattle were sent in this week The
cattle offered this week were so light in weight
that the real amount of beef was not so much
larger as would be inferred from the numbers;
we doubt if the really good cattle would have
numbered more than 800 or 400 head, and those
sold at very fair prices; while light trash, the
steers, heifers, and dry cows, which made up the
bulk of the offerings sold at very low figures.
Some whole droves sold Mt $29 per head, averag-
ing about DC ID. and one lot of choppers" sold
Mt So so each. The market shows an average
decline of about 621a(615 per cent, which is
very small considering the number and quality of
the offerings. The purchase of considerable lots
by the neighboring farmers for feeding, saved
the market from a much larger decline. We
