Il is reported on pretty good authority,
that ThurloW Weed owns 8 controlling in
tersst in the National Intelligence, and
that he will publish it as a +" conservative
Union " paper, with which to give aid and
comfort to the COpperheads, and enbarrass
The Government SO far as it al
The Daily Chronicle, owned and started
BY John ". Forney, is the leading paper
polished in Washington. It has the larg-
est circulation in the city, as well as the
army, and is regarded to some extent as
an organ Of the Administration. Il has
more ready access to the Department news
than any other paper, and is much the
alaest PAPER published here. OBI
The National Republican, which was the
successor Of the National Era, has passed
INTO the hands OF Mr.. Hanscom, formerly
Of Boston, but for three or four years, the
New York Herald's Washington corres-
pendent. Finally, Hanscom Quarrelled
with Bennett, and was discharged. lie
was q Republican, and could not see things
through Gopperhesd spestseles as clearly
as the Herald required and was put on the
retired list. he shortly afterwards bought
the Republican, and after running 1t as 8
Mcclellan organ for 4 time, dropped him
when his sun set and changed It from a
morning into an evening paper, and Is
competing vigorously with the twinkling
little Star as the organ Of tea table gossip
for Washington readers. The paper is
Republican in politics, and supports the
Administration, after 8 fashion.
Washington is well supplied with daily
newspapers. Every morning at 6 o'clock
q hundred newsboys begin to peddle the
Baltimore dnilies-the American, san and
Clipper. Intelligeneer and Chronicle make
their appearance on the street about
o'clock 3. m, or an hour after the Balti-
more papers arrive. Sometimes, however,
they are On sale as early as the Balti-
more prints.
Two years ago the only Baltimore paper
sold here was the Sun, but the American
the emancipation organ of Maryland
sells more copies here nov than the other.
The Clipper has considerable circulation
here. It is unconditional Union, and fav-
ors emancipation. The pro-slavery Balti-
more papers do not circulate here to any
extent.
At eleven o'clock a. m, the Philadelphia
trains arrive, bringing the Press and In
quirer, both Of which sell very largely, buI
latter considerably the most. These fur
nish the populace and strangers food fol
reflection" until three p. m, when the first
edition Of the Republican and Star make
their appearance, followed every half hour
by a later edition, until the New YOrk
train arrives at five p. m, bringing large
supplies Of the Herald, Tribune anC
Times, and are hOwled about the streets
dspots, landings, camps and hospitals til
night; this closes the days ews Tit
evening is spent in retailing or inVentinl
Hrumors'' Of all dimensions and descrip'
tons. The Bohemian brigade begin theii
labors after tea, and are on tho wing from
then till the small hours Of morning, for
Warding dispatches over the wires, anC
sending off letters by express, The con
sumption Of newspapers in Washington i
perfectly immense. The majority Of tn
men one sees seem chiefly employed il
drawing pay and rations from the Govern
ment or coming for contracts and Offices
and reading the daily papers Of Washing
ton, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York. Some thirty to forty thousand
copies of daily papers are sent TO the Rap
pahannoek army every day. ~OopperheaC
prints are rarely seen. The World am
Express Of New York do not circulate her
nor in the army.
