to enable an army of sixty or eighty thousand
men to move down in light marching order, so
rapidly as to be in Maryland again in advance
of any reliable warning OF their numbers or
their near approach. In this view Of the sub
ject, we care less to know what Hunter, Crook
and Averill are doing than what the adminis-
trstion is about at Washington.
When we were satisfied that General Joe
Johnston had been removed from the command
Of the rebel army of Georgia and recalled to
Richmond we guessed that IL was for more
important service nearer Washington. We
showed, too, from his military experience In
and knowledge of oil the country between
Richmond and the line Of the upper Potomac,
and especially the Shenandoah valley, that he
was the very man to head the movement Of .
rebel army in this direction. Now ve End the
rebel journals at Richmond admitting that In
this view Of the matter we were right; for they
seem to believe that our opinions were actual
facts obtained through the agency OF spies or
leaky vessels In communication with the rebel
War Office. Whatever may be the truth in
regard to this thing, there is one unquostiona-
BILE fact which so strongly suggests another
rebel descent upon Washington that we would
earnestly call to 1t the special attention of the
administration.

Corruption In High Places.

In an article on the practices in vogue at
Washington, the New York Journal o.
Commerce draws the following frishtful
picture:
The period In which we just now live Is
one of unbounded fraud and corruption.-
There was never an Administration IN
Washington under which fraud was carried
on a, openly and boldly as now. The mil
lions that are the plunder of the present
army of hangers-on will Dever be counted.
There is no eud to the terrible revelations
Nor does the trouble stop with the mere
robbing of the public purse. The most
atrocious srimes are perpetrated with the
stolen money, aud the people are growing
used to the recitals. Legislators are boueh
and sold in Pennsylvania, New York and
elsewhere. Elections are fraudently car
ried. The machinery Of political parties is
turned every tywhere to the private account
of Individual office seekers or money seek.
ers. The taint is spreading through the
entire body polite Men look calmly
now on crimes from which they would have
shrunk two or three years ago. Men think,
on the whole, that it is a good thing
when the Administration carry an election
by shipping home few thousand selected
voters. Men cbuckle over some political
ruse in which a Legislature is bought for
money. Men approve the action of the
Treasury Department in giving responsible
Office to man whose vote, conscience and
reputation, as every one knows, were sold
by himself and bought by the party which
protects him. No one seems TO think that
fraud, public robbery, is a very great crime.
We meet daily in the streets, nightly at
receptions and grand assemblies, men who
are known to be fattenipg on plunder, but
whose social position seems wholly uuaf-
fected by the fact, We are not drawing any,
too dark q picture of the moral condit ion OF
affairs under the present Administration
The doctrine is in principle everywhere
acted on, that if g man processes to be right
on the negro question, he may be as black
sinner on all other questions as he pleases.

WONDERFUL "A correspondent, who has
taken the pains to make correct calcula-
ton, writes that if a person, on the first
Monday in January, were to drop pin on
board the Great Eastern, and to follow up
the practice every succeeding Monday du-
ring the year 1864, doubling the number Of
pins thus dropped each time, the following
would be the result, though wonderful and
enormous it may appear Total number

The Philadelphia Press, one Of the most
violent of the radical journals, says "almost
as many Democrats voted for Mr.. Lincoln
as Republicans We have no doubt that
to-day majority of the Republican party
consists Of men of Democratic antecedents.
We beg the pardon OF the Democracy, but
we believe tie fact is as We state it. In
deed. the Locofoco part of the Democracy,
the devotees of mob law and of Jacobinism
in all its forms, have gone clean over to the
RepubleapS and now Constitute the ruling
mower in the party. Republicanism is in
principle Locof eoism: and it is not too
much to say, that, while all Republicans are
Locoiocos, al least half of them have never
been anything else. Yet We sometimes,
though not very often, hear men who have
been Wbigs and who profess to be eonser-
yatiyes say that they will never vote for
Democrat, intimating that they may vote
for Republican! The prejudice Of these
men against the Democracy is so great and
peculiar that they can vote for radical
Democrat but not for conservative one,-
for Locofoco but not for jackson man.
The truth is, there is now lett of theOid
Democratic party nothing except its name
and organization and those, fundamental
principles of national unity and constltu-

to the military service and to production

too old for soldiers. The attempt to make
soldiers of these will lose them also both

III A. WoMAN's JEALOUSY Y-VITRIoL AND
DAaaERs-Our readers may perhaps re-
member the circumstances of an affair of
vitriol throwing, which occurred at Benck-
enstein's Garden, on Sunday, the 4tt of
October last, and which was mentioned in
this paper. The victim was a Mis-. Galibert,
who, while sitting at table slipping wice,
in company with Mr. Miller, was assaulted
by her companion's wife, who, objecting to
having her husband keeping such fami isr
company with another woman, took occa-
sion to throw vitrlol into her rivals face and
eyes, which wsre horribly burned by the
lhuid fire. Fo. sometime it was feared
that Mrs Galibert would lose her eyesight
entirely, but she for, ,unately recovered.
She did not learn wisdom from her sad ex-
perience, it seems, for she continued her
intimacy with Miller, whose jealous wife,
not satisfied with the terrible punishment
she had already administered nursed her
wrath and awaited the hour which snould
bring her an opportunity for finishing
stroke OF vengeance. OnSaturday morning
last, Mrs. Miller followed her husband to a
house on Hammond Street, and entering it
q few moments after him, found him again
in company with her hated rival. A scene
ensued. The frenzied wife drew murder
Gus looking dirk knife from under her
shawl and threatened to kill Mrs. Gilber.,
who screamed with terror, wails the hus-
band looked on amazed, and at loss how
to act Fortunately, officer Wheeler, OF the
police force, came in in time to prevent
mischief, and ended the scene Cincinnati
