being represented by the imaginary character

highly complimentary to the enlightened citi-

ten times greater than they are Of the organ OF
the free lovers; so that. if there were any
truth in the rawlings Of the Tribune. the moral
standing of the people of New York and of the
United States must be at very low point.
A paragraph which appeared in yesterdays

correspondents, is pretty good commentary
upon poor Grceley's last exhibition of bad tenn

The circulation of the HERALD in the Army Of
the Potomac is, according to these figures, five
times greater than the aggregate circulation of
the Tribune, Times and World, and twelve and
a half times greater than that Of the Tribune
alone. The inference, therefore, is inevitable,
il there be any truth in Horace. that the Army
of the Potomac is largely composed of Barney
O'Tooles and of the other Representatives of
''the dangerous classes" When Hooker was in
command of that army be endeavored to restrict
the circulation of New York papers to that of
the Tribune alone. but with very poor success,
When Meade superseded him all such absurd
attempts at restriction were abolished, and the
consequence is chat the Herald has distanced
all its puny competitors. We take 1t for
granted that the army is about equally made up
of democrats and republicans, and yet, accord
ing to the Tribune, ninety per cent Of its mem
bers must belong to 'the dangerous classes"
After that we wonder that Horace would not
! be ashamed to show his old white hat any
where. He should Immediately withdraw him
selffrom The haunts Of civilized men, and, by
pcnance, prayer, modification aad the reading
! Of holy books, strive to make some atonement
for this slander upon the good people of New
York and our brave Army of the Potomac.
| A PAIR or NOBLE BRorHERs.-Pen Wood, of
the Ne,cs and Horace Greeley, Of the 1ribuns-
the one formerly member of Congress, aud
the other member at present-one the editor
Of radical revolutionary niggerhead sheet, the
other the editor Of a radical revolutionary cop
perhead concern-are both laboring in the
same vocation and to the same end--to effect a
| separation of the North from the South. Both
are fomenting riots aud civil war at the North,
the better to accomplish their common purpose.
Wood wants an armisticc, which implies a
recognition of the independence Of the Southern
States; and that is exactly what Greeley has
been driving at from the beginning. He said il
they were really in favor OF separation they
ought to be allowed to go, according to the
principles of the Declaration Of Independence,
which proclaims that government can only
exist by the consent Of the governed" and that
every people have right to change their gov
ernment with a view of promoting their own
happiness. 1t will be thus seen that extremes
meet, and that the teachings of Ben Wood in
the Ne,cs and of Horace Greeley in the
Tribune lead to the same result Though they
have taken their departure from opposite points
of the compass, they are steering for the same
destination Both are playing into the hands Of
JEFF. Davis and his confratcrnity, and both are
contributing as far as they can to defeat the
grand object Of the war. Par mobile .frdtrum!
CorroS FRAuDs.-We see it stated that the re-
port of the commission appointed to investigate
the frauds upon government arising out
Of cotton speculations in the West and South
! west has been sent in to the War Depart
ment, and that it seriously duplicates major
general and several other officers of rank.
This is the investigation which General Mellow
ell was sent down to preside over shortly after
his removal from command, and his time since
has been unremittingly devoted to it. Able
and impartial as the report no doubt is, we do
not believe that anything will result from It.
The parties incrimnated are creatures of the
administration; and in this, as in the case of
other inquiries Of similar character, means
will be found TO cushion the evidence, or at all
events to save the offenders from punishment.
