---- From the increasing virulsnce
with which the President, and especially
Secretary Stanton, are abused, we have
strong hopes that the rebels are about
to feel the power of the Government
The simple truth is, that so many trait
ofs at heart, who dared not openly join
the traitors in arms, found their way
into high positions in our army and
navy, that they have been able to para
lyze almost every effort of the Govern
ment. AS they cannot use Secretary

--- A rich scene occurred in the
office of the Secretary of War, on Mon

erned and Inhabited wholly by blacks,
invite the emigration Of those of their
race from this country. With proper
inducements these governments could
be so strengthened as to make it tie in
terest of colared men to emigrate. But
such is the fanaticism of the Val!andig
ham clique that they would sacrif, e
the interests of their own country for
the sake of giving stab at these, to pre-
vent the free negroes among us from
bettering their condition by emigrating
thither.
---- Considerable stir was excited in
Washington, on Monday, in consequence
of an important order issued by the
President and Secretary Of War. There
is place in Virginia called the white
House., owned by one Of the leading
rebels in the Confederate army. A
portion of our forces are. encamped
there. Our commander has kept a
guard over the rebels plantation, that
nothing might be touched. The only
pure water in the neighborhood, is

strong guard has also been kept over
this spring, and the soldiers compelled
to drink the stagnant waters that
they could get elsewhere, lest they
should mar the beauty of the
secesh grounds. The following is
the conclusion of the telegraphic dis

President ordered the White House to
be opened in consequence of the repre-
sentati ons by DIR. Green of New York
and others of the Importance for our
