TIE TALKED OF REMOVAL OF THE CAPITAL.
The N. Y. Journal of Commerce is alarmed at
the statements made, that probably a majority
OF both Houses Of Congress are in favor of
removing the national capital from Washing
ton to some point further northward:
"This proposition, at the present time, is an.
other fTebrand thrown into the temple Of lib.
erty, and comes from those who are plotting
the destruction of the Republic. Even If this
charge were unfounded, the individuals con-
cerned must be fully aware that the simple
raising Of the question now will be construed
By enemies OF this Government as tacit ad-
mission that the restoration Of the Union il
considered impossible, or at least is not expect.

A BIG CANARD UNDOUBTEDLY.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-The Herald has q
special dispatch from Culpeper, last evening.
which says:
The rebel General Steuart, with 5000 cavalry,
had crossed the rivers far 10 the right of our
army, and reached Leesburg, our forces there
falling back toward Fairfax. Whether his OBJ
iect is to cut short this railroad near Bull Run,
or the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad near Point
ofRocks was not known; but in any event it il
quite possible that he will be met with superior
forces
This is undoubtedly big canard Of some
correspondent as nothing Is knewn of such a
raid at the Departments.-ED. start

A MISTAKE. This mornings Baltimore
American contains the following telegram
(Which has doubtless been sent to thousands of
papers in all quarters of the country,) which
embraces an error:
The Senate Judiciary Committee, on We'd
nesday morning, resumed the investigation of
the conduct OF Senator Hale by examining MIR.
Mckay Of Boston, who paid him the money,
and Mr. Houghton, of Boston, a lawyer who
was employed in the case. The former gentle.
man stated that he paid Mr. Hale the money
3or his services in getting Hunt released from
the Old Capitol. Hunt was and is charged
with defrauding the Government in chartering
vessels, and is now on trial at Norfolk. Sem
ator Hale.wil1, at the next meeting, introduce
evidence to show that it was simply a business
transaction, and that he was induced to do it
at the earnest solicitation Of friends.
Mr.. Mckay did not state to the committee
that he "paid Mr.. Hale the money for his SER
vices" but that believing Mr.. Hales influence
to be the best he could get he paid the money
{sl,0CO) for it. The above, we learn, were the
WORDS Of his answer.
