THE GOVERNMENT CENSORSHIP

Chevalier Wykoff will Tomorrow appear
before the House Judiciary Committee, who

SECRETARY cHAsE's BANK scHEME.

The Ways and Means Committee have ap-
pointed meeting to morrow to take up and
consider the bank scheme, as recommended
by Secretary Chase. Ths one reported by
the Sub Committee meets with great favor,
but is strenuously opposed by the Northern
banking interest. The Committee are de-
termined, however, to press the matter and
carry it, in the same manner as they did the
Treasury.note bill.
GEN. M'cLELLAN's RELATIONS TO THE ARMY.
There is still much talk here about the
supposed change in General McClellan's re-
lations to the army. Nothing is done except
in accordance with General McClellan's
wish. He was held responsible and abused
for every military event throughout the
United States, whether he could control it
or not. This was not just and it is very
properly changed. With regard to General
Buel, the Government has from the first
given him almost unlimited discretion, and
a the recent operations in Kentucky and
Tennessee have been planned by Buel.

SICKNESS IN THE PRESIDENTS FAMILY.
1t was announced yesterday that the usual
Saturday reception at the White House and
the leVee on Tuesday would be omitted, on
account of the illness of the second son of
the President, an interesting lad of about
eight years of age, who has been lying dan
geIously i'll of bilious fever for the last three
days. Mrs. Lincoln has not left his bedside
since Wednesday night, and fears are enter
tanned for her health. This evening the fever
has abated, and hopes are entertained of the

IMPORTANCE OF THE UNION VICTORIES IN TENS
REssEE.
No one has manifested more delight at the
news of our recent victories in Tennessee
than Senator Andy johnson, of Tennessee,
and Emerson Etheridge, Clerk of the House
of Representatives. They have been busy
explaining to Senators and Representatives
the strategic importance of the acquisition
of Forts Henry and Donelson. The posses.
sion of these defenses not only cuts off the
communication between Bowling Green and
Columbus, but opens TO Federal authority
and protection tier of counties extending
along the Tennessee River to Mississippi and
Alabama--a corner in which large majorities
were cast against Secession, and where
thousands OF Union men are still loyal and
ready, If provided with arms, to fight for the
maintenance of the Union.

contrary Notwithstanding. have served myself as
a soldier in Mexico, and l baked bread there for
