MAKE NoTE OF THTs.-Senator Wilson, who
has just urged the mammoth CONSUMPTION bill
through the Senate, is the man who stopped
enlistments few.months ago, and thus left the

Wilson keeps Office by constantly playing the

MORE QcAck MEDIcNE-A quack, calling
himself Carl Benson, has been writing letters
to an obscure Sunday paper upon the war and
Europe. In his last letter he announces, in the
usual style Of quack doctors, that his next COM
munication will contain disquisitions Of tremen-
dous importance. Some quack remedies for
the diseases of dogs and horses, we suppose.
How much does Carl Benson pay line for the

HoAxNG THE PUBLIo.-A few days since
poor Greeley announced, with the pomp and
circumstance of large type and prominent space
in his journal, that five thousand negroes
armed, equipped and drilled, we're to march
into the seeded States, abolish what little (s)
of slavery the Presidents emancipation pro-
clamation has left, and, in fact end the war,
cover themselves with glory, exalt the negro
race, bring about something as near the mil
lennium as can be conceived, and all eliminate
their glorious career by becoming subscribers
to the Tribune, which is negro's idea Of Para
disc. We are sorry to dispel this bright vision;
but truth forces upon us the assertion that poor
Greeley's black romance is-to use the elegant
terms which he has rendered familiar in his
columns" an unequivocal, baseless, highly
vanished lie." The famous five thousand only
exist in poor Grceley's imagination, along with
the nine hundred thousand which we once
heard so much about, but who have all pre-
ferred remaining in the dark President Lin
coin must now fully appreciate how utterly his
proclamation has failed and that upon the
white man, and not tho negro, must he rely We
hope he will get rid OF his niggerhead advisers,
and call to his aid and counsel safe and patriotic
men. Then he will find his course much
palmer and more effectual one than he was led
to believe by the fanatics who have surrounded
him up to the present time Drop the negro,
Mr.. President, and the white man will save the
Union.

RAYMOND AND GREELEY ON RED TApE.-For
some time past Raymond and Greeley have
been keeping up in their respective journals
most animated debate, wasting therein vast
amount of brains, logic and money, and all for
the purpose Of deciding whether Secretary
Seward does or does not use red tape. In
other words, the above mentioned Raymond and
Greeley wish to ascertain whether Mr.. Seward
submits all his dispatches for foreign courts to
President Lincoln. The possibility Of the lat
ter remembering all these dispatches is point
not as yet introduced into the warm contro-
versy in question. Mr.. Seward, despite the
many calls upon his time, has himself taken a
part in the red tape debate, and even went so
far as to commit the extravaganza Of sending to
one Of the parties six line telegram, which had
the effect Of giving additional zest to the whole
affair. 1t must not be supposed that either
Raymond or Greeley Is SO silly Us to imagine
their debate will interest the few readers of
their journals; but the fact is all this argument
has arisen because the niggerheads are in favor
Of making way-politically we mean, of course
with Secretary Seward. The copperheads are
not quite 80 decided upon the subject, and
hence the great and momentous red tape de-
bate. If Raymond and Greeley are one-half so
tired Of the matter as their limited number of
readers must be, they will surely drop this vex-
ing question and endeavor to find some more
diverting subject for controversy.

AhE oENATE OAuCCS TO OuST MR. oEWAFD.-
The resolutions against foreign mediation re-
ported by Mr.. Sumner, as Chairman of the
Compittee on Foreign Relations, are the result
ofa caucus of the radical portion Of the Sc
nate, who have conspired to oust Mr.. Seward
from his position as Secretary Of State, and
put Mr.. Sumner in his place. They are level
led against the sagacious proposition Of Mr..
Seward to the Emperor of the French to admit
the Confederate States to representation in
Congress- and there to settle oil difficulties
The object Of the radicals is to manufacture
public opinion against the Premier, and thus to
compel the President to remove him. In COM
bination with other resolutions, they produce
brief letter from Mr.. Seward to Mr.. Adams,
which they say the former never read to tho
President letter in which, with the eye Of
statesman, the Secretary of State penetrated the
dark designs of Sumner q Co. In that letter
he truly AYERS that the radicals are playing into
the hands of the sscessionists to break up the
republic. He says:-"It seems as H the extreme
advocates Of African slavery and its most vshe-
ment opponents were acting in concert together
to precipitate a servile war-the former by
making most desperate attempt to overthrow
the federal Union; the latter by demanding an
edict of universal emancipation as lawful and
necessary if not, as they say, the only legitimate
way Of saving the Union" If Mr.. Seward
desired to conceal this from the President, it is
not likely he would print it in book, as he did.
One thing is certain: he hit the nail on the head.
The difference between Mr.. Seward and his
abolition assaiants is that he is q statesman
and they are a set Of miserable fanatics. We
trust the Senate will vote down their resolutions
Mr.. Seward and the President desire the resto-
ration OF the Union, with or without slavery.
Sumner and his fellow conspirators, including
Greeley, regard the Union with slavery in it
"as covenant with death and an agreement
with Hell" and will never permit its restoration
If they can prevent it. AS one of them said
lately, they would "protract the war for thous-
and years" rather than make any compromise
which would suffer the Confederate States to
come back with their slave institution. The
people and the President, however, when the
proper times comes, will not ask the permission
of Sumner, Greeley & Co. to make peace on
such terms.

The OPER-THE NEW HAVANA TRoUPE.-
Aaretzsk, whose aame has been associated with
90 many artistic triumphs in New York, COM
mences his two months season of opera on
Friday next Il was announced to open to-
morrow; but the non-srrival Of 6ignor Bellini,
the baritone, who has been detained in Havana
by the illness Of his wife, renders the brief
postponement necessary.
The troupe with which the popular chef COM
mences operations is, taken as whole, one Of
the eompletest In point OF. talent that has been
heard here for some years. It was formed by
him In Europe for Senior Marti, the proprietor
Of the Taeon theatre, and, as he had carte blanche
in regard to expense, the result, as might be
expected, has been most satisfactory. Madame
Aedori, the principal soprano, is one of the
best dramatic singers ON the stage. Her voice
is described to be Of extensive register, pure
and even in quality and very powerful. In
such operas % Norma" "Lucrezia" and the
"Huguenots," she has but few living rivals.
She was great favorite in Brazil some two or
three years since, and received the largest
emolaments of any vocalist who has ever visited
that country, with the exception of Lagrange,
who was paid something enormous. Madame
Ortolani Brignoli Is light soprano, possess
ing brilliant executive powers. The Ira
viata is her best character, and is
said to be most finished performance. Mile.
Sulzer, the oontralto, is German by birth, and
belongs to the famous family Of that name, who,
like the Taglionis in Italy and the Garcias in
Spain, produce from generation to generation
eminent artists. Although very young, she
has sung in Milan, Naples, Madrid, Lisbon, Bar
celona and other European cities, where she has
established an excellent reputation. Signor
Ma azzolsni is tenore robusto, quality Of voice
that we have not OF late been accustomed to
hear, and that offers at least the ch arm of
variety. His organ is said to be splendid one
and he is good dramatic artist, combination
Of gifts that cannot but prove acceptable, seeing
how rarely they are to be found united. Signor
Minetti is tenore di orozio. with voice re-
sembling that Of Giuglfni. The baritone,
Signor Bellinl, and the basso. Signor Biachi, are
also first class artists in their way. With a
company like this, and choral and orchestral
arrangements to correspond, the season cannot
fail to be most successful one. Our public
are in the humor to spend money lavishly, and
II will be the fault Of bad management If the
enterprise does not yield rich harvest

ders from Washington. For this disappoint-
ment General Sherman has sought for some
satisfaction In the arrest and submission
to court martial Of an unfortunate
Newspaper correspondent. But we suspect
that the General will gain little or nothing
by this silly proceeding. Next, it appears that
General Rosecrans fought the battle Of MUIR
freesboro (anOther seven days Hght) with forty
FIVE thousand men, against sixty-two thousand,
when he might have moved forward upon Bragg
with one hundred thousand mon and annihilatsd
him, had the necessary orders from Washington
been given in time. But, again, while Eight
ing Joe Hooker" has been held fast-"stuck in
the mud"-on the Rappahannock it seems that
he has been making active war, at least upon
the newsboys, and, we dare say in obedience to
orders from Washington. Lastly, it seems that
the operations Of our land and naval forces
against Charleston and Savannah have been de-
layed in consequence Of . military disagree
ment between General Hunter and General
Foster, which could not have happened under
proper instructions from Washington.
In these specifications We have evidence sufi-
cient to Az the failures and disasters of this
war upon the imbecility, incapacity and blum
ders Of the responsible officials at Washington.
The decline Of public confidence in the ad-
ministration results from the retention of these
incompetent officials in power. But let the
President reconstruct bis Cabinet, with some
such man as Mcclellan at the head of the War
Office, and some such man as Admiral
Dupont at the head of the Navy Department,
and the public faith in the administration and
In the complete success Of tho war will soon be
fully restored. At all events, with the autho-
rity and power in his hands equal to that Of
Cesar or Napoleon, the country has the right to
demand Of President Lincoln that the strength
and resources of the nation shall no longer be
frittered away.

Nor AFRAID OF SwAMPs The pro-
gress of the war has developed the ability
of our soldiers to surmount almost any
physical obstacle, and to live in places hith-
erto regarded as uninhabitable. Now We
learn that not only is the Great Dismal
Swamp habtable, but salubriouS, according
to the wa correspondent of the Philadel-
Press, who says:
The name Of the Great Dismal Swamp
starts feeling of i'll defined dread and hor-
ror in the breasts ofthose who have become
acquainted with its soft and Shiny la5rynths
only through the medium of romance. 1t
is impossible to conceive of any one but a
black, herculean, enthusiastic Dred who
could exist enid noxious miasmas of the
Cir at Dismal Swamp. They believe a
man who attempts to live beneath the
shade of those upas-Ike trees is sure as
destiny of certain death. Yet the Great
Dismal Swamp is actually healthy, is occu-
pied by our soldiers, and is pronounced
salubrious by our sergeons. The One
Hundred-and-seventy- Pennsylva-
MIA regiment went there with almost 200
on the sick list, and now they have scarcely
two dozen.
