The Worlds special, dated Washington
9th, says:
A Council Of War was held to-day in
which not only the President, Grant, Hal.
leck, and most Of the Cabinet participated,
but all the Military talent in which the
Administration has confidence, was called
up. The basis Of the case submitted for
consideration was that the several Febru-
ary expeditions had been nearly all mis-
carried, and the country was becoming
alarmed and dissatisfied.
have it from q source consider relis-
bic that after some ground had been gone
over, Grant was called upon for his views,
and he promptly responded in favor Of the
capture of Richmond az FIRST step in the
campaign, and feel quite sure that orders
will instantly go forward TO bring the 1lth
and 18th Corps from Chattanooga, and
the 18th and 18th Corps from the Missis-
sippi river to Virgins.
All troops that can be spared from other
points, will, according to the statement
which reached me, be incorporated with
the Potomac army, and Banks be rein
forced with negro troops, but nothing
more; and it is expected with the aid Of
the feet he will be able to take Mobile.
The great bulk Of white troops will be
concentrated in Virginia, and it is be-
lie7ed that $4,000 men can be brought
against Richmond at sn early dsy.

A special to the Tribune, dated washing.

A special to the Tribune, dated Washing
ton 9th, says:
Generel Grant had a conference to day
| three hours long, with the Secretary Of
War and General Halleck, upon the militia
| ry situstion in every one Of the fighting
departments. In this important council q
general plan Of the campaign was agreed
upon, that it is intended to Re decisive in its
particular policy. The necessity of max
ing more energetic and decisive use Of the
Army OF the Potomac than has heretofore
been made, was fully recognized.
1t is understood this viii extend to more
than ssthe reOrganizstion-to change Its
commander if thought best.
Grant will go the Army of the Potomac
to morrow, to see its condition, and find
out what il wants. He has hardly slept
from his long journey here, and yet is hard
at work. General Hslleck will as stated
by the Tribune, perform the functions of
the Chief Of Staff to the President, the
Commander in Chief
1t is stated by high authority that Gene
raj Grant will soon return to the South to
finish his big job.
Minister Dsyton's son is said to have
arrived here from Paris, to-day, With dis
patches from his father, expressing the
opinion ihst the accordance BY the French
Government Of free egress to rebel cruisers
from ports in which they had been allow
ed to receive repairs, forshsdoWed the
recognition Of the Confederscy.
General Grant to-day stated to the Pres
idsnt that the reports Of General Sherman
having net with q reverse were wholly
untrue. He had accomplished all he was
sent to do-to destroy the Railroads run
ming from the Mississippi in the direction
Of Selma, so ss TO prevent rebel diversion
upon its banks in the spring.
A Washington correspondent says il is
understood General Grant protests against
any further attempts to penetrate the Con-
federacy until Richmond shall have been
taken. he agrees with Hslleck, and pla-
ees the highest value upon the rebel Cap
itsl, declaring that Cincinnati ss well as
Washington is threatened by it.
Another correspondent speaking Of this
new ION to Richmond" says:
1 think it probable that Grant will
command the main eolumn, with Sherman,
Matherson, Meade and Hooker, as chief
subordinates.
General VIM. Smith reached here today,
which gives rise to renewal of the re.
ports that he will supercede Meade. 1t is
claimed that Grant urges his appoint
ment.

CONCERNING Calves.


There is danger Of q scarcity ofeattle.

tion and the short crop Of fodder last wear
have ocessioned the slaughter Of 50 many

is largely diminished, aud as the extraord.
insry demand is likely to continue for
some time to come, prudent forethouzht
requires that energetic measures be taken
to anticipate and prevent the deficiency as
far as possible. Every calf that appears
upon the stage this spring, ought to be
permitted to grow 10 adult bovine exist
ence. Our Teutonic friends should UNDER
stand that patriotism requires them to
forego their love for immature beef and
go permit the calves to live. Farmers
should remember that he who causes two
calves to grow where but one grew in for
mer years is 8 public benefaotor; and
butchers should be compelled TO keep their

Of Mr.. Chase, declining to enter the Presi-
Dental canvass:
WAsHIEGToN, March 9th, 1864.
MY DEAR SIR: In reply to a friendly
letter from you, 1 wrote briefly, not long
ago. about the wishes expressed by many
that my name might be fsVorably regarded
by the people in their next choice of a
President, and closed by saying that,
should our friends in Ohio manifest g
preference for another, l should accept
their decision with the ready acquiescence
due from one who has been already trusted
and honored by them beyond merit or ex-
pectation. The recent action Of the Union
members Of our Legislature indicates
such preference. 1t becomes my duty
therefore, and l couGt it more privilege
than duty, to ask that no further con-
sideration be given to my name. 1t was
never more important than now that all
our efforts, and all our energy should be
devoted TO the suppression Of the rebellion
and TO the restoration Of order and pros
perity, on solid and sure foundation Of
Uaion, freedom sndtimpsrtisl justice, and
l earnestly urge sll with whom my eoun-
sells may have weight, to allow nothing to
divide them while this great work, with
which persons and even parties are moth
ing, remain unaccomplished.
Cordially, your friend,
CSigned s. P. CHASE.
