This is the public Judgment, and the over
ruling popular idea in the loyal North is the
necessity for a new departure on the part Of
President Lincoln, beginning with the unsound
timbers Of his Cabinet Time is precious
The drain upon the country of nearly
three millions of dollars day admits of no
further trifing. With the land and naval forces
which he now commands, President Lincoln may
put down this rebellion within three months.
Old Hickory, in his place, would have done it
in sixty days. Let Mr.. Lincoln put on the
mantle of Old Hickory, " assume the response
bility," strike out boldly for the confidence Of
the people, and all will soon be right and
bright again. Otherwise the country will become
more and more involved in danger, until the
great cause Of the Union and Of popular rights
and free institutions may be lost in endless
divisions and universal anarchy. The loyal
States have given him the means, and they look
to President Lincoln to save the life Of the
nation.

THE SITUATION.

The condition of Gen. Burnsides army in its

lection OF their shelter tents The wounded are
being rapidly sent on 20 Washington, and at many
points the dead have been buried under flag of

request that the latter would detail men for this

states that the retreat was conducted without

Another GLIMPSE Of light is thrown upon the
probable destination Of the Ranks expedition by
che report Of the bark Anna, from New Orleans,
which arrived at this port yesterday morning.
She saw on the 9th inst. az six A. NJ, of st. Au-
gustine, Florida, six large steamers bound south.
IT not being Sufficiently light, she could not dstin.
guish them particularly, but judged from the
course they were steering that they were bound
further south than Florida.
The news from the Southwest to-day does not
possess Its usual interest. Nothing of Importance
Is reported. Dispatches from Cairo state that
large force OF rebel cavalry have appeared in the
vicinity OF Jackson, Tenn. but ample preparations
were made TO resist any attack which they may
make.

A Blow AT THE BAsrITEs.--The Grand Jury
Of the Court Of Sessions have summoned
before them o number of witnesses. 10 ap-
pear on the 10th inst, against Edwin VI. stan
ton, Secretary of War, for violation OF the laws
of New York in the arbitrary and Illegal arrest
and Imprisonment of citizens Of this State, and
from all that we can learn il Is highly probable
indictments will be found against him. The
Grand Jury, il is understood. found their
action upon the charge Of Recorder Hoffman,
who expounded the law by showing that the
removal of any person from this State into any
other State or Territory TO answer to any charge
of having committed an offence against the
laws of either the United States or The State is
in violation OF the statute, and equally 10 viu
late it is an arrest with view to secret con
finement in this State; nor will II constitute any
legal defence to plead upon trial tba, the ar
rest, confinement or removal was by order OF
the President or any member of his Cabinet, or
other officer Of the government. This IL I'M.
doubtedly the law Of the State, and is part Of
tbs constitution of the United States, aud the
Secretary OF War had better look out II an
indictment should be found against him, as
there is every reason to believe there will bc,
The New York herald., 1862-12-18

Governor Seymour, after his Inauguration on
the lst of the ensuing month, viii issue requi-
sition demanding the surrender OF Mr.. Stanton
to answer the charges against him. As the
President has sworn to obey tho constitution,
which requires the surrender of alleged crimi-
nails, and as Mr.. Lincoln is Governor Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia, he viii, of course feel bound
by his oath to deliver up Mr.. Stanton to the
officers Of Justice, to be dealt with according to
law. There is good time coming. If there is
no other way Of getting rid Of 60 incompetent
Secretary OF War this would be an excellent
opportunity for the President; but We hope
he will not wait SO long.
The PAPERMAKERs' TRouBLEs.--We publish
in another column very curious sort Of a letter
Papermakers' Association of this city. We give
the epistle Just as we received it, and have 10
add only word or two Of commentary.
Mr.. Buffers remarks are divided under two
heads: first, the correspondence in the case of
M M. L. Seymour; and, second, philippe
against the press. In regard to the first points
ii appears that Mr.. Seymour declined to become
an officer of the association long before he ad-
dressed us a note upon the subject This shows
that Mr.. Seymour is worry sensible man, but
does not explain why Mr.. Seymour's name was
printed among the vice presidents in the pub
iisLed copies Of the constitution of the associa-
ton.
In regard to the press, Mr.. Butler says that
our accusations" were uninst and FALSE"
and that :" however you may writhe under" the
exsravagaut price of paper "you must pay it."
Well, necessity knows no law, and perhaps we
"must pay anything the Papermakers' Associ-
alton choose to demand; but that does not at all
alter the right and wrong of the matter. From
the recent rise in paper-far in advance of the
rise in the materials of which paper is made
it is evident that the association is monopoly.
and the tone of Mr.. Buffers note tells the rest
oi the story AS to the association continuing
to exist and to perform g the duties for which
it was institnted"-thst is, keeping up the price
of paper--this all depends upon circumstances.
The Hon. Mr.. Colfax has already introduced q
bill into Congress reducing the duty on foreign
paper to the same percentage Is tho tax upoA
domestic paper; and if this bill shall be passed.
the price of paper may perhaps be kept up by
the association " in spite of the press" but it
will be done without the patronage Of the press.
| And so we politely dismiss Mr.. Butler and bis
