Late Northern. Intelligence.

A dispatch to the New York Tribune. dated
Washington, February 4, states that an order had
been issued to the commanders of divisions in Vir.
ginia, directing all surplus baggage not actually
needed for troops on the march, to be sent to
Washington and warehpnsed. Also that another
order had been issued to the surgeons in charge of
the hospitals to send the conyaescent patients to
Annapolis and elsewhere, and otherwise have
ready as many spare beds as possible.
A dispatch to the Herald says that the Secretary
OF the Treasuary, in note to DIR. Spanlding rela-
tive to the treasury note BILL states that inme-
diate action is of great Importance. The treasury
is nearly empty. I have been obliged to draw for
the last installment of the November loan as soon
as 1t is paid. 1fear the banks generally willrefuse
to receive the United States treasury notes. You
will see the necessity Of urging the bill through
means committee, it is said will bring the house to
vote at an early day. $50
dispatch to the World says A rumor is given
and names of parties distinctly stated, that orders
have gone forward to Marshal Murray and Attor-5
ney-General Smith, to compel parties who sold or
chartered improper vessels to the War Depart
ment for the Burnside expedition, to return the
sums received or go to prison. A firm in New
York, known to have been violently secession long
after the fall Of Sumter will, it is stated be ths
first called upon. TWAS regarded as very strange
that this firm should have been so employed.
Treachery as well fraud is suspected in the fit
ting out of the Burnside expedition and those who
have sworn to falsehood in respect to the draft of
their vessels will be compelled to refund.
The Federal authorities profess to have received
intelligence from their scouts, that large bodies of
Confederates have been within few days trana-
ferred by railroad from Manassas, relying upon the
utter inability of the Federal army to move against
them, on account Of the impossible condition Of
the roads. tss

PCBLlC SCHooLs.-The examination of the Fisk
and Madison Schools took place yesterday.
Owing to the inclemency Of the weather the at
tendance of visitors was much more limited than
it was at some of the other examinations. Still,
we noticed that good many spectators were
present, especially at the Madison School.
We were struck with the spacious size snd airy
arrangement Of both these schoohonses. The
Madison School. in particular, though in the very
outskirt of the city, is quite a palace in size and
elegance. 1t was an agreeable surprise to see SO
many young ladies of such refinement and intelli-
gence frequenting school SO remote as this must
be from their residences.
Certainly New Orleans has been most liberal in
its provision for the education of its youth. No
expense has been spared in the erecting commo-
dious and handsome buildings, and the employ
ment of skillful teachers, and We doubt not that
the fruits of this course are evident in general in
tegence OF the rising generation that is not to be
surpassed in any city Of the world.
The examination of the high schools for boys
and girls commences on Monday next, and will
continue until Thursday. This is an occasion OF
such well-known interest that it is unnecessary to
invite the attention of our citizens thereto.

The Thunderer's Opinion OF NIr. Stewards
Bacl<tloSvn Letter TO Lord Lyons.

From the London Times, January 1O.J
With verbosty never equaled even in diplo.
macy, and with an unquestionable vagueness never
surpassed even in Congressional debate, Mr.. Sew
ard, III this long document, wanders through the
history of all past transactions. Inasmuch, how
ever, as he concludes that, notwithstanding all he
mas SO lengthlly and vaguely promised, he can
come to no other conclusion upon the circuu,-
stances of the present case than the act was nde-
tensble, and that the prisoners must be restored.
the OBVIOUS course was to accept the fact of the
reparatlon, and to disregard the comment. Such,
We believe, has been the course adopted by our

AS to the general discussion of the law into
which Mr.. Seward enters at so much length, the
Government will decline any answer until they
have had an opportunity of submitting the whole
nete to their law offisers: There are propositions
laid down in this note which not at all admis.
sible, and it is of the highest importance that we
should not suddenly bind ourselves to the abolition
OF belligerent rights, which may be to ourselves,
at some future time, of vital Importance nor that
we should on the other hand, admit the right of
any foreign State to carry our mail packets into
their ports md submit them to the arbitrament of
their prize courts. After the delivery of the pris.
oners all these points may be very properly raised
and can be conveniently discussed; but it is ex.
pedient to separate this discussion entirely fron,
the settlement of the misunderstanding which has
so nearly precipitated us into war. Whenever the
proper time comes we shall probably insist, with
all the authority in our favor, that belligerent
has right to communicate with neutral power
in neutral ship; and that it is presumption
that in such communication, there is nothing in.
consistent with the character of the neutral nation
and therefore nothing injurious to the other bel
