All quiet with the Army Of the Potomac
to-day. Everything is in readiness for :
movement at The proper moment. Our
troops are in excellent spirits and anxious
to advance against the enemy under their
new Commander in Chief. Burnside's 5
command is in favorable position.
Deserters from the enemy all agree that
Lee is making extensive preparations to
meet Grant. These people also proiess
to believe that Richmond is being evacu-
ated.
A number of Senators met in caucus
to-day, to agree upon . uaited course in
regard to the restoration of Frank Blair to
bis command in the army. They decided
topupport the resolution refusing to re-
coenise Blair - . Major General in the
military service, and recommend his dis
missal from said service, on the ground
that he holds his commission in violation
Of law. -
Banks, in an official dipstch to Tie

battles of the 9th and 10th resulted in ter

An officer, formerly of the 18th North
Carolina regiment, WAS brought here to-
day, having been captured on the Poto-
mac. The general belief in Richmond,
he says, is that Lees entire army at pres
ent numbers shout $4,000, and Long
street, who was at Charlottyille when be
left, had 10000. He states should Rich
mond be beseiged it could hold out one
month.
The Republican says it begins to be
feared in high military quarters that Lee
will endeavor to escape from the Rapi-
dan to the works in the neighborhood Of
Richmond.

The Inquirer has the following special

Rebel officers and leaders pretend to Be

Of being shot prevents thousands Of rebel

Texts for Campaign Speakers.

The well-informed Washington cores
pendent of the Chicago Times closes one OF
his late letters with the following pregnant
paragraph:
With the whole power of the Administra-
ton arrayed against us; with the money in
the treasury made to flow like water, the
Democratic party will have gigantic task
in the next Presidential election. And yet,
if we do not carry that election, we will al
most deserve to fail; for never has there
been an Administration so corrupt as the
present one, or the corruptions and inbecil-
ity of which could be so easily exposed
To enumerate the abuses of the internal
management ofthe Government alone would
require volume ten times the size of Web
ster's Unabridged Dictionary. From the
employment of Jay Cooke, at the enormous
percentage, to do what ought to be done by
the Treasury Department. to the gigantic
swindles of the War and Navy Depart
ments, there is mass of wickedness and
corruption among the officials here, which,
while it makes immense fortunes for thou
sands Of the pets of "the Government" has
loaded the country and the honest people of
the country with burdens that will grind
us to the earth for many generations. And
all this is done with the assent, and even the
express command, of Honest Abe Lincoln, /"
who can even stoop to the littleness of get
ting his own salary paid in gold coin. Here
are the texts for the campaign speeches of
Democratic orators. Let them be used eff
fcctually, and the people will take care to
hurl from their high places their perfidious
and unfaithful servants.

We take the following item from the
Washington Daily Globe Of Jan. %:
The military commission continues to dis
close swindles in steamboat contracts. Wit
nesses testify that the steamboat South
America was more than twenty-one years
old when she was hired by the Government;
that she was not worth more than $4,000, OF
which more than half was In her engine;
that she was chartered some five months ut
500 per day, earning for her owners $G0,-
900; that when she went out of service her
hull was so rotten that her engine was ia
ken out and put into new boat. 1t was
proved that the commission extorted by
New York and Philadelphia brokers was
never less than five per cent. on the charter
money. A certain quartermaster's clerk
thus made S2,5O0 In three months.

The Green Bay Advocate states that old
"Aunt" Polly Doxstater, a metherly Oneida
squaw, living about six miles from that

Mcclellan. Several weeks since, "Aunt''
Polly conceived the idea of sending her
photograph to Mrs. NJ, and asking hers in
return. Mrs. Mcclellan was evidently much
gratiied at the remembrance OF her old
nurse, for she not only sent her photograph
to Polly, but accompanied 1t with hand

worthily bestowed.

A United Ilemocracx.

The prospect of success next fall, which
is very fair, to say the least If the Democ-
racy are united, becomes a hopeless impos-
sibility in the event of division. While 1t
is entirely legitimate that every man in the
party should have and express his choice OF
a candidate for the Presidency, it is also the
part of patriotism and duty to be prepared
to sacrifice prejudices or predictions, and
60 heartily for the man whom the majority
may designate.-Ddyton Empire.
