AFlRE FROM TIE REAR.
While we are flooded with rumors from
the front, It is asserted positively that a
movement is TO be made against the capital
from the rear. A delegation Of Democrats, /,
engineered by Mr.. John Van Buren, is to
assemble here during the present week, and
will endeavor TO muster courage enough TO
tender advice to President Lincoln. What
the nature of this advice will be, or how
the Chief Magistrate maybe disposed to re-
ceive il, no one can say, but IN these days
Of arrests, these gfatditOus cOunsellors may
find themselves in some retired locality,
where they can at their leisure perform the
other portion of their eFrand at this time TO
this metropolis, which is the
REoRGANIzATION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
The Representatives of the various shades
Of opposition to the Administration have
been invited here to compare notes, which
are TO be moulded, if possible, into = uu-
cleus-an ursine cub which subsequent
events will gradually lick into shape until
it becomes "National Democratic Party"
although all traces of the Jeffersonian fea-
lures be lost in the operation. What mat
ters it that the nation has banished and is
yet to Danish both blood and treasure The
honor of the Republic may be sacrificed,
her public debt increased, her industry par
alyzed, but Democrats must have power
aud place, pay and pickingsi The rebels
may be permitted to triumph, the North
may be virtually degraded, charlstans may
be thrust into power, but We must again
have the Democratic party, squatting like
an incubus upon our country. To bring
about this restoration, we are to have ''the
Outs" in council, and it has been suggested
that as they advocate vigorous prOsecu-
tiOn of the war, they be sent to the front, to
carry muskets in some of the regiments
decimaled in battle -og tss
THE MESSAGE.
There is, as might be expected, much
speculation as to what AFR. LiucOlR will say
in his forthcoming message, and some or
acularly profess to know what will be its
leading features. They are wiser in this
respect than are some members Of the Cab
met, and there is good reason to believe
that Mr.. Lincoln will not even submit his
message to the Judgment of his cOustitu-
tional advisers, until he has completed it.
ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS.
Mr.. Stewards budget will be Voluminous.
The reports from the War Office may-but
there is good ground for believing that they
will not-give n clear record OF the opera
tions of the past year, with the number of
troops engaged, arms, ammunition, cloth
ing aud subsistence furnished, and the ex-
tent and cost of railroad aud other trans
portation, telegraphing and special serUice.
Mr. Welles will be clearer and fuller in his
as will Mr.. Smith. whose re-
port will be Of uuusual interest. The Post
masters and Attorney General will give re-
sumes of their departments, with sugges-
tiOns for the Improvement of each,
UNCLE SANS LITTLE BILLS.
Thus far we have only had the accounts
of the different branches of government up
to June goth, 1861, and but few have any
real idea Of the national expenditures. We
are also to have, soon after the meeting Of
Congress, the letters from the heads of de-
partment, lin accordance with the acts of
1886 and ls42, showing the disbursements
OF their contingent funds. The eXtFaOFdis
nary expenses of Government in these war
times must necessarily be large, but the
figures will doubtless show that economy
has been practiced, and If few persons
have managed to SO thrust themselves for
ward as to obtain large remuneration for
small services, 1t is one of the attendant
evils. IL is often necessary TO employ some
one at once, aud old political hacks under
stand thrnsting themselves forward as
"Jack-at-a-pinch," especially those who
have for years fattened at the public cribs,
which they could not bear TO desert when
Buchanan retired from it to Wheatland.
THE COMING SEASON.
The genuine SouIh-side aristocracy have
about all left for Dixie, although We have
a few left who pretend to be of the F. F.
V's. They are, however, generally the
descendants of overseers or commission
merchants who grew rich by fastening,
leeeh-like, to that improvident race, and
who have won their way into society as
did Thackeray's Lady de Mogyns, kicking
down the rounds Of the ladder as they ad-
vanced, step by step. These uppeF-tens
hope now TO rule the roast, and to receive
into their set the shoddy spectators and
their families who are arriving, gorgeous.
ly arrayed, to figure in our "Vanity Fair"
But Washington society, If J. mistake not,
will henceforth be composed OF more
thoughtful, better educated aud more re-
fined gentleman and ladies than used to be
guided by Mesdames Slidell, GWin, Jeff
Davis and Jake Thompson. Our young di-
pIomats may be disguised, and make their
headquarters at New York henceforth, but
frivolity and dissipation will no louger dis
grace the leading draWing rooms at the
metropolis.
THE WEATHER
This recognized topic of conversation
cannot now be objected to in letter from
this region, where so much depends upon
a fortnight of clear skies and good roads.
The past week was all that could have
been desired for operations in the field,
and regret TO chronicle that there are
some indications Of q. change. =
