The wrangle within aud over President Lin

nal derceness. 1t in fact daily increases In
bitterness, gradually widening the already
formidable breach Ia the republican party.

We publish this morning another chapter, in
the shape Of fetter--an espose from the pen OF
Thurlow Wecd-of the degrading and de-
moralizng scenes and events which have trans
PRED at Washington, TO which we call the
attention OF our readers. Mr. Weed takes tho
witness stand and deals out charges Of the
most grave character agains. cxSecretary
Chase His conniving at the frauds and
efforts to strsngle investigation in the affairs
OF the Custom House, the dishonesty connect
ed with the "extenson Of the Treasury Depart
ment;" his surrounding himself with notorious
ly unworthy men, and last, but not least, his
being disunonst sacrificing the Union for
abolitionism," are all charged and placed upon
record in Mr. Weeds testimony, which will be
found in another column. We are bound to
accept this evidences; for who knows bet
ter than Weed that has been going on behind
the scenes? He has been as deep in the shoddy
operations of the administration and Cabinctas

done. IL is the old story Of roguea falling out

Chase aud his friends will only, in retort, show

DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL ADDRESS. We
received at late hour last evening a copy of
the address of the Democratic Congressional
Committee on The subject Of national politics.
and give copious extracts therefrom in this
mornings HERALD. The document is vo.
luminous one, and treats upon nearly all the
political topics of the times in the peculiar de-
mocratic vei1. The policy OF the opposition in
this address is defined to be to oppose the
overthrow or the barriers between the white
and black races; to retrace the steps that have
led to the debascment Of the national currency;
that troops shall be raised under the agency Of
State governments, and oficered by State au-
thority; that the financial action Of the govern
ment shall be open to inspection aud purged
OF corruption; that peace and reconstruction
shall be secured with the States as they were
under the constitution as it is; that public
officers hold Office for fixed terms; that amnesty
shall be extended to the rebels except for par
.ticular offences, and that Unionists who have
fed from the revolted country shall be restored
TO their estates and their wrongs redressed as
far as possible. The other features of the adj
dress may be ascertaned by perusal Of the
document itself.

From WnshingtOu.

New YORK. Dec. l0.--A special to the
Commercial from Washington says: The
proposition to tax sales l per cent. meets
with considerable favor, although some
members of the committee on Finance have
urged a lower rate on sales of coal and
breadstuiis. There is some talk of impos-
ing an export tax on specie and cotton
without drawback.
The Posts Washington special says sew
eral Governors of loyal States are seeking
permission to raise regiments for IlancOck's S
corps, appointing the officers themselves;
but the War Department is inclined to re-
tain the appointment of officers.
The Government has received no infOr-
nation other than what appears in South
ern papers in relation to Sherman's move
ments.
Five or six merchants of Washington,
charged with selling goods to blockade
runners, have been recommitted to the Old
Capitol by order of the Secretary of War.
The horses, carriages, &c, and liquors be-
longing to the establishment of Lord Ly-
ons. have been sold at auction. This dispo-
sition of his property indicates Lord Ly-
ons will not soon return to this country, if
at all.
The Military Commission in session in
this city. this morning took up the
case of Charles E. Waters, hardware
merchant in Baltimore. in which Pardon
Worsley was the principal witness for the
Government. He is accused of selling
goods to the blockade runners to be carried
into the rebel lines.

Point to-day. brought to Washington about

SUNDAY NIGHTS DISPATCHES.
The Lntest from sherman.

New YORK, December 1.-THE Augusta
Chronicle OF the 4th says: The fact that
Sherman's army had reached Millen settles
the question that its destination Is toward
Savannah. His route, however, is yet to
be determined. .
! Fosters advance, together with his send
Ing up signals, indicated that he expected
to meet Sherman. but the latter failed to
come to time. The point to be gained by
the capture Of Grahamsylle was to cut off
reinforcements from Augusta to Savan-
nah. This would place Savannah at his
mercy, as he would use Port Royal as base
and then proceed to the ultimate object of
his campaign-the capture of Savannah or
perhaps Charleston. He would hardly risk
battle before Savannah, with only the
supplies he has on hand. He will fist Sc
cure his base, and that will be Grahamsville
and Port Royal. In view of these consid-
erations, no matter what feints he may
make, he will aim to reach the point where
Foster is now waiting for him.
The Richmond Enquirer of the Sth says:
The last accounts represent Sherman at
Millen, and that from there he has three
harbors OF about equal distance-Beaufort,
Savannah and Darien. 1t was believed by
some that he would yet endeavor to meet
Foster at Grahamsville, and falling in
that, try to capture Savannah.
The Savannah Republican says: When
Gov. Brown, fled from Milledgeville he
took all his property, even the cabbages
that grew in his garden; but he was not SO
diligent in looking after the State property.
All the powder of the State at Miliedge-
vile was left behind, also 1000 stand of
arms, both of which fell into the hands of
the enemy.

NEW YORK, Dec. l0.-The Hcrald's Army
or the Potomac correspondent says: On
wednesday last, owing to annoyance by
the rebels firing upon working parties
on Dutch Gap canal, portions of three reg
iments of colored infantry and section of
Martins 9TH regular artillery. under Cen
eral b. G. Ludlow, crossed to the north side
of the James and drove back the rebels, and
effected a lodgment at the upper terminus
of the canal, where they entrenched them
selves, thus protecting the laborers on the
canal. Rebel batteries subsequently, open
ed upon the position, but did no harm.
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAc,

corps, with the Sd division of the 81 corps

ton of any consequence. They crossed on

road, driving them to Hatchers run, a dis
tance of over two miles, where they had
breastw orks erected and where they made
stand. Skirmishing continued for some
time, when, the object of the movement
having been fully accomplished, the eXpe-
dition returned. Our loss was seven
wounded; that of the enemy unknown.
Some of those who accompanied this party
report that heavy firing was heard in the
direction of Stony creek, which indicates
that firing was going on between Gen.
Warren and the enemy. Reports are cur
rent that the evacuation of Petersburg by
the rebels may be looked for at an early
day.

sHERMAN's ARMY.
Rebel AccOunts-Skirmishi With
the OutpOsts of Savannah The
Fight with wheeler.

Rebel AccOunts-Skirmishi with
the Outposts of Savannah The
Fight with Wheeler.
NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-Sherman's move
ments still engrossa large portion of the at
tention Of the rebel newspapers. They say
that he remained with his principal force in
the vicinity of Millen for several days, for
the purpose of gathering in supplies, and
that on the I'd inst. he resumed his march
from north OF the town. and on the 3D. was
some distance south OF it. On the 9Th Inst.
his advance was reported skirmishing with
the outposts of the rebel forces defending
Savannah, and it was expected that on the
9th he would reach the coast.
The Augusta Constitutionalist believes
that since leaving Atlanta Sherman has not
tor Il moment hestated as to the point to be
attacked or the road to it. 1t says that on
leaving Millen he. would so arrange his
army that he would move on Savannah
without fear of attack on either flank.
Wheeler confesses that in his engage
ments with Fitzpatrick he has not taken
many prisoners, because the Yankees re-
fused to surrender.- |e.
The Charleston Mercury learns that Gen.
Foster hes fortified the position which he
took up after the battle of Honey Hill,
where it supposes he will remain until
Sherman reaches within striking distance of
the coast. 1t states tnat Foster had been
for some days and nights sending up bal
looms, sky-rockets, &C., supposed to be sig
nails to Sherman.
Richmond papers give further particu-
lars of Wheelcr's fight with Fitzpatrick. by
which it appears Wheeler was obliged to
fall back owing to Kilpatrick's superior
numbers. The rebel General Anderson was
wounded at Griswoldville, and he is CEN
sured for rashly throwing his troops against
the breastworks. Every house but Mr..
Griswold's was destroyed in Griswoldville.
The Augusta Constitutionalist of the Sd
says Sherman appears to have halted to
grind corn. AS he tends towards the bar
ren counties Of the South it becomes neces-
sary to make provisions. His foraging par
ties are continually driven in by our caval-
ry. and his forage is reported to be short.
WASHINGTON. Dec. l0.-Richmond papers
Of Thursday, the Sth. say nothing new had
been received at the Confederate War De-
partment regarding Shermans movements.
No exchanges of GeOr,ia papers had been
received of later date than the Sd of De-
cember.
