REMARKS ON THE FOREGOING.
lst. "Mechanic =" is welcome 10 tho use Of
our columns to discuss any real grievances Of
the laboring classes.
Cd. The principle was asserted, but 1t was
naturally supposed that in carrying it out the
Republican Administration would not have
rebellion TO contend with like this which was
precipitated by Democratic Administration.
Sd. We regret that any "high ofiicials un-
der the Buchanan dynasty have been continued

Mechanic" " asserts, we do not understand BY
what sort of philosophy Mechanic" arrives
nj the conclusion that "Republicanism Is a
failure"
4,h. If the 'hgh officials of the old regime"
(the Democratic party,) who are "continued
in office" have "annoyed and indicted wrongs
upon the workingmen," It Is difficult for us to
SEE how they are to succeed in bettering their
condition by "the return Of the old dynasty to
power"
5th. There is little doubt In our mind that
the Secretaries will do ample justice to the
workingmen employed in their several depart
ments when they can do so legally. II the
workingmen require Mr.. Secretary welles to
do for them what the law will not sustain him
in then they simply ask him to violate his oath,
which we presume he will not do.
9th. II the Inconsistency complained ofreally
exists, 1t is the misfortune Of the workingmen
aud not the fault of Secretary Welles. Con
gress, which is soon to meet, is the only powe
authorized to regulate the difficulty, and ough
to do so. We pledge our efforts to that end.
,th. We do not believe there is the slightes
feeling of prejudice on the question of sectio'
or birth controlling the mind of any Govern

POUR O'CLOCK. r. N.

For the last few days several dispatches,
coming from Generals Grant and Thomas, and
others, have appeared exclusively In one Of the
Democratic organs or this city before they wers
sent to the other papers, especially those
friendly to the Administration, and before they
were even bullctined at the headquarters Of the
army.
On Wednesday, the paper referred to pub
lished, about noon, two dispatches dated Chst-
tanoog,. sore two hours afterwards the same
dispatches were sent to us, by the courtesy OF
the Associated Press agent, one signed br Gen.
Thomas and the other by Gen. Grant!
To-day a long dispatch addressed to Mr.. sec-
retary stanton, aud signed by Quartermaster
General Meigs, was delivered to a gentleman
to send to the Washington papers. A copy
had previously been given to the Democratic
journal referred to, and was issued In an Extra
Of that paper before II reached us!
We arc glad to be able to announce that this
mode of dealing with information from our
gallant armies in the field, and which belongs
alike to the loyal press and people Of this coun
try, has only occurred during the recent illnesi
Of the President and while Secretary Stanton
was sbsent on thanksgiving visit to his family
In Ohio.
This courtesy to the Democratic print Il
probably intended as q reward for services
rendered the Administration during the las
Presidential struggle and to the Governmen

The circumstances connected with this act
of vandalism of the rebels are singularly curl
GUS. These buildings were erected by brother
iu.law of stonewall Jackson, the Rev. Charles
McClean, deceased, before tho commencement
Of the rebellion.
It is now ascertained that they were burned
BY the order Of chaplain of . North Carolina
regiment, one of the "monsters of the South,
described by Parson Brownlow, and who thus
burned the homestead of the near relatives Of
the rebels greatest general. Lee, on hearing
of It, promised to shoot the scoundrel II be

that our troops broke camp yesterday morning.
and marched toward the Radidan In three col
umns. The right, consisting of the I'D corps,
supported by the 9th, were ordered to cross at
Jacobs Ford, below Raccoon Ford; the I'd corps
to cross at Germania Ford, and the 9th, sup
ported by the lst corps, to cross a. Culpeper
Ford between Germania and Ely's Ford.
The centre column arrived at Germania Ford
about noon. Only q small picket Of Georgia
cavalry were seen on the other side.
The latest reliable intelligence is that Lees
forces do not exceed 1000 men. Gen. Ewell,
! If not dead, Is at least relieved from the com
mand of his corps, In consequence Of d'saoility,
occasioned by the stump OF his leg having
broken out afresh. He has been succeeded by
GEN, Early. The rebel cavalry is nominally
a 600 strong. but In fact much less. Early's
corps Is fortified from u point near Mountain
Run, south of the Rapidan, following the hills
wes,wardy to the railroad, where 1t connects
with HilPs corps, which covers tue hap'aau
thence westwardly.
The epemy's right flank near the mountain
Is protected by line of works diverging from

THE PRESIDENT AND his CABINET.

THE PRESIDENT AND his CABINET.
at is little singular that when Mr.. Lin
coin goes of anywhere, 1t Is the CONSERVATIVE
members of his Cabinet who accompany him.
This time, the visit to Gettysourg,) Messrs.
Blair, Seward and Usher were his compan-
ions. Messrs. Chase, Stanton and Wells
remained at their posts."- Washington Cores
pondence of the Anti-Sldvsrv Standard.
It Is only necessary to say, in relation to the
above that If the Conservative members Of the
Cabinet are the only ones who accompany the
President when he goes of" 1t Is simply be-
cause they chose to go and the Radical
members" " SO called were abliged to remain at
home by the pressure of official business OF
from choice.
II Is always the case that all of the members
of the Cabinet are invited to accompany thu
President on excursions like that at Gettys
burg. One moments reflection will satisfy
any business man that Secretary Chase, in th'
midst of his forthcoming financial report, coult
not be absent; neither could Secretaries Welle
and Stanton. VI were engaged soverally upo'
their reports.
An additional fact is sufficient excuse 70
their absence at Gettysburg-that In times
: active military and naval operations It is NOR
: difficult forylferetaries welles and Stanton I
leave their posts than any other Ministers; an
] 1t Is especially so when the President himse
is absent. On ~ occasion Of the Gettysbur
g., Inuuguras SRnies all the Cabinet Mir
, listers were iSvited. Messrs. Seward, Blai'
t and Usher were fortunate enough to be able
: accompany President Lincoln to Gettysburg
r and we have reason to believe, and In one cas-
we knop. that the other Cabinet Minister
would have accompanied him also but for Il
facts mentioned.
