TREASON AT HEADQUARTERS"

The New York Examiner is religio- political
Journal not less distinguished for its hearty devo-
ton to the present Administration than for its zeal
in defending the peculiar religious dogmas repre-
ssnted in its columns. Yet even paper thus
pledged to the support of the military authorities
who are conducting the war has had its faith in
them shaken by the Report Of the Congressional
Committee on the Conduct of the War. In it's
last number our contemporary, under the head Of
" Treason at Headquarters,' holds the following
language:
The quick and intelligence which the rebels have
not merely OF the movements but Of the plans Of
armies deserves attention from the Government than
it seems to have received 1t stated unquestion-
able fact that the assignment of Gen. Burnside to command
the army of tho Ohio and the transfer of the Ninth Army
Corps to his department. well known to the rebels
before they were intmated to the loyal public The
mova OF Gen Butler unexpected it at the North
was known to the rebels before the order carried into
effect But the most striking instance ia testified by Gen.
Burnside reported by the Committee the Conduct Of
the War. He planned movement against the enemy
which he communicated personally to the President the
Secretary OF War Gen Haeck, and to two members Of
his staff 1t known and openly talked Of by rebel
sympathzers in Washington the pery day. shouting
that there is treason in the highest quarters.
Now, these are facts which ought not to be merely
looked at with stupid wonder. The rebels have spies
among the persons who in the confidence of Gov
ernment 1t may be difficult but it cannot be impossible
to track the guilty parties and dismiss them by the hang
mans hands to the state in which they will tell tales
We talk of the faulty with which Mr. Buchanan allowed
traitors his Cabinet to plot the ruin Of the Government
under his very unsuspcious But how much better
is Administration which harbors spies in its very
ell chamber, and submits to the shame il it were law
of its beingl
When secret is entrusted to FIVE persons Of whom
one is the President Cabinet Minister and one the
Chief it ought not to be thought impossible
find out who has betrayed it, The discovery and ndgn
TO deter others Forbearance toward them is cruelty to
the Innocent and deadly injury to the cause of the
country"
1t is in such comments as these that we NAV
read the mischief done by the committee when
they insinuate that either the President, the Sc
cretary of War, or the General-in-C Chief allowed
the plans Of Gen. Burnside to be dvulged to /" rebel
sympathizers" in this city. Names which should
be above suspicion or reproach are fippantly asso
ciated for no other reason than that furnished by
the innuendoes of the committee, with an act of
the grayes indscretion, if not of wilful high trea
son, calling for condign punishment. 1t is thus
that idle words when uttered in high places, fly
like thiste-down, and scatter broadcast the seeds
of popular distrust and SANDER

DECLARATIONS OF MR.. sLIDELL.

NJ Emile de Girardin, the well-known publicist,
of Paris, stated some time ago that, in converse
ton with Mr.. Slidell, the Confederate " Commits
sioner," in that city, the latter had assured him
that I" the South was disposed to disencumber it.
self of slavery, which was rather injurious than
advantageous to it." This statement was repro
duced by M. f. Gaillardet in his regular corre-
spondence from Paris with the New York Courier
DIES Flats Uais.
The paragraph having been recently brought to
the notice Ct Mr. Slide, he has taken exception
to the report Of his conversation with NJ Girardin
and, in his last letter under date of April 3, M.
Gaillardet makes the following notifications:
"Mr sidell acknowledges that be said to NJ Girardin
that the slaves free, must leave the South which
would not tolerate mnglng of the two and that
the deportation of the negroes was at the condition
and the difficulty of their emancipation But he has not
declared that the South disposed to disencumber it.
self Of slavery, which more injurious than advan
tageous to it. Mr.. Sldel could not have made such
declaration for three The first that he has
authority to make it, and that the Government at Rich
mond would have it than he the question Of
emancipation be raised only by the several States and
not by the Central Government The second is
that If slavery destined to disappear day. to be
modif like all human institutions, this would not take
place the Of revolution, ,chen the first necessity
that the South to decide this question 10 full ber
ty, by its sole authority, and will not make it. in any
event. the condition Of it's recognition by Europe"
The last two reasons, if read in the light Of Mr.
Benjamin's letter to Mr. Commissioner Lamar, in
structing him not to enter into any stipulations
with the Russian Government against the SLAVE
trade, would seem to be significant of q settled
purpose on the part Of the Richmond authorities
to leave opening for the revival of that traffic
should the Seeded States succeed in establishing
their independence, and judge it necessary or ex-
pedient "to repair their losses" in the matter Of
slaves by fresh importations from Africa This
"repair of losses" says Mr.. Slidell, will be the
first necessity of the South" on the morrow of its
success in converting revolt into revolution"
And as he makes this statement in connection with
slavery and in presence Of the known fact that the
Richmond authorities refuse to bind the Seeded
States by any stpulations with foreign Powers not
to revive the slave trade, it would seem that the
inference suggested by his language flows naturally
from the circumstances under which this language
is held as we'll as from it's own purport.

great discrimination made BY the President In his
favor imposes upon him the obligation of demon.
strating that that favor has not been misplaced.
When General Pope made representations to the
effect that he had not been properly and loyalty
sustained by Gen. Fitz John Porter, the latter was
subsequently relieved Of his command and put on
trial, which resulted in his conviction and dismiss
sal from the army. When Gen. Burnside made
similar representations against Gen. Hooker, and
even called for his summary dismissal without trial,
Gf we may regard as genuine recent uncontrolled
ed publications. not only was Gen. Hooker not dis
missed the service but his was relieved from
command; not only was Gen. Hooker not re-
ieved from command, but he was not even placed
on trial and not only was he not placed on trial,
but he received new proof of the confidence re-
posed in him by the Administration. 1t was the
accuser in this case who was relieved from his COM
mand while the accused was promoted to take his
place. Where such determinations made in
favor Of an officer the duty of doing all that is in his
power to justify the partiality shown to him becomes
intensified by considerations the most imperious and
which the military advisers of the Administration
at least cannot dismiss from their minds, as they
follow the operations of Gen. Hooker, with the
consciousness how largely their own reputation,
as well as the national cause, must depend upon
the issues Of the campaign now opening under his
auspices.
