The Washington correspondent Of the
Springfield Mass Republicm relates the
following
Speaking of Mr. Lincoln reminds me of
an anecdote which Mr.. Chittenden of Yer
mont, the register of the treasury, told at
an outdoor meeting the other night He
remarked that he would state ono fact in
connection with his experience in this city,
which he believed had never yet been
made public. His first visit to Washing
ton was perhaps an unfortunate one. He
was a delegate from the state of Vermont
to the peace conference which met in this
city in the month of February, 1860, upon
the invitation of the governor of Virginia.
In that convention he happened to form
the acquaintance of james B. Clay of
Kentucky, WIN. A. Seldom of Virginia,
(the present rebel Secretary of War; Gov.
Morehead, of Kentucky, (who was now
fugitive, and he hoped he would always
be until he repeatedly and Others His
seat was near those gentlemen, One day
while sitting with them, a servant from
Wizards Hotel entered and handed a card
to MIR. Seldom, who sat near Mr.. Chtten-
den. He did not know what was on the
card, but it was passed around from one
to another in such manner that he could
not help but see what was written on it.
On the card was written these words:
60 Lincoln is in Washington!
He never saw such confusion made by
small piece OF card before. They looked
at each other with amazement. At last
Waldo P. johnson, afterwards Senator
from Missouri, who could control himself
no longer, exclaimed with vehemence,

The Talk of Man of Sense.

Senator CewAN, of Pennsylvania, in the
last speech he made in the Senate, at the
last session, just on the eve Of its adjourn
ment, made the following address to the
Democratic party. He said:
Now it seems to me, that if we of the pre-
dominant party were more tolerant Of the OPP
position, and instead of taking pains to insult
their beliefs and misrepresent their opinions
We should be very careful to avoid any allu-
siOns to them whatever, we should soon dis
arm that opposition. I have been from the
first of the opinion that the introduction of any

We are gratitied to learn that Capt.
ANDERsoN d. NELSON has been promoted
from a Captaincy in the Tenth Regiment,

army, and none who have seen harder
service than Major NELSON.

A dispatch from Washington states that
the first instalment of $4,000 has been
sent to the Commissioners now in session
in Minnesota, to award damages suffered
from the late Sioux war, to be paid in
sums of not over two hundred dollars to
any one sufferer.

TEE SITUATION IN VIRGINIA.

The news from Rockers army continues To
be of the most cheerful character. We pub
lish elsewhere the official report Of Gen. Pleas
anton, and the more detailed account Of one
of our own correspondents, of the fight on Sun
day, at Middleburg. a village few miles west
Of Aide Gap in the Bull Run Mountains. The
enemy were under Stuart whom Pleasanton
attacked in the morning and drove before him
all day, taking two pieces OF artillery and come
prisoners. The Rebels left their dead and
wounded upon the field, while our loss was
small. Gen. Hooker now holds Thoroughfare
Gap and Aide Gap and we presume the last
Of the Rebels are now cleared out from the
East side Of the Bull Run Mountains. 1t seems
certain that Washington ia no longer threat
eDed in front, and as Lee 10 certainly bailied
in any purpose be may have entertained OF an
attack in that direction by the celebrity of Hook
er's movements, 40 no doubt he will be followed
up with equal activity should he propose to
make aDy other movement eastward or north
ward. The whole Rebel army is now probably
in the Shenandoah Valley, and it is in that
direction we must look for tho next move. The
Rebel sympathizers in Baltimore believe or al
feet to believe, that his aim is that city, and
that he will first, by a bold dash, cut the rail-
road between there and Washington. His re-
treat into the Shenandoah Valley will probs-
bly, abate their hopes, and relieve tho general
alarm which has prevailed In Baltimore.
OF the actual position of Lees forces we
have no later intelligence than that which
places them at Winchester, where the two
! corps Of Ewell and LoDgstreet were supposed
to be, and A. p. Hill was on bis way to JOIN
them. Whistler from that point be will cross
the Potomac, move in some other direction, or
whether he means only 10 gather the rich crops
of the valley, and recruit bis mon and horses,
NO must wait for tins 10 unfold.

.evera Government candidates claimed the
vote, of their districts on the assumption that
they were good democrats, and admirers of
the principles Of 1889. Thus Mr.. de Jaucourt,
Chef de- Cabinet of the Minister Of the Int
r;or. thought his best chance Of success lay in
,..urng the constituent of the Seine ct Marne
that :" il elected, he should DO inspired by the
recollection of bis grandfather, the Count DE
.Jaucourt, who in 1889, in the great Parlla-
mentary assemblies, put himself at the head OF
the Liberal movement, and powerfully contrib
uted to the propagation OF those Immortal
principles Of liberty, of conscience, and OF
equality before the law, which were 70 per-
wade the world, and which the Emperor has
made the preamble of the Constitution"
The facts which we have adduced speak for
thenselyes. In face of them, mono can deny
that France is once more advancing on the
road of democratic and republican Progress,
and that progress, it may be hoped, will now be
moro effective and lasting than IN the Reyolu'
tons of 1883 and 1913. Then the mas OF tho
people had no firm political convictions. Inc
introduction Of republican form of government
was carried by storm. The reaction which
follows oil sudden political changes found dis
cordant elements ready to contribute to the
overthrow of the Republic. Now the advance
OF democracy ia more slow, aud therefore more
sure. The party becomes acquainted with ITS
real strength and will moderate it's aspirations
accordingly 1t will not attempt again to force
a republican form of government upon the Ia
ton. before it has ascertained that clear
majority OF tho people have expressed de-
cded preference for it. When that time shall
have arrived tho complete triumph OF the Dem
ocratic party will be- inevitable and perma-

sert;ons that the Rebels were wholly in the

But The InteLigeneer was misled by the tele-
graphic swindle. persistently systematical'y
maintained in favor of Mcclellan, into believing
that Gen. Cameron had just before made
speech at Harrisburg, wherein he demanded, or
at least recommended the appointment OF Gen.
Mcclellan or Gen. Franklin TO command tho
Militia hastily assembled for the defense OF
PENNSYLVANIA, and uses that demand as pow
erful hacker for its own. Gen. Cameron made
q hasty, excited, and in some respects, unjust
speech on that occasion, blaming the Admins

q raid which Pennsylvania ought to have lopg
since prepared for and ought to have repelled
aud routed by her militia alone at least week
ago: but he did not call for the appointment
of either Gen. Mcclellan or Con. Franklin to
any command whatever. The story that ne al
done so was the invention Of some OF the Pcter

MEXICO.

The Mexican news which reached US yester.
day via Acapulco aud San Fran is not later
than our previous accounts from Vera Cruz,
but gives some additional intelligence. The
dates from the City Of Mexico ore OILY to
May "a, while by former arrival from Hs.
vana we had extracts from papers Of the CITY
of Mexico dated May 20. and another Havans
steamer brought us dates from Vera Cruz ia
June 8, and from Tampico to May 81.
Former Mexican dispatches received via San
Francisco have generally proved to b. correct
and trustworthy, and We believe this to be 90
also. IL confirms our former accounts that al
the French residents of the City of Mckee
baye been compelled TO leave; that the FORTH.
cation. of the city have been greatly strength.
ened; that q large army is concentrated for
It's defense, and tina. desperate effort will be
III ade to prevent its falling into the hands Of
the French. 1t also confirms the resignatios
Of Gen. Comoufort, but reports sat President
Juarez himself had taken command of the
Mexican army instead Of CARA. TIE report
of the escape of the Mexican generals and
soders--in the correctness of which, though
il wac gwen by the Havana Diario, We eI.
pressed IA strong doubts not confirmed. II
il stated, on the contrary, that the captured
Generals will be sent to France, the other
officers 10 Martinique; that three thousand
Mexican prisoners have been employed to worn
