Attend the Caucuses.

We cannot too strongly urge upon
our Republican friends the Importance
of attending the nominating caucuses.
We hold that every man should con-
slider it as much his duty to be present
at the Caucuses as at the polls. Here
is the proper place to canvass the vual-
iications and availability of the differ
cnt candidates. This the time to see
that no man is nominated through log
rolling and chicanery. No man should
be nominated for any Office who will
weaken rather than strengthen the
ticket, no matter how available he
might be in other respects. Let the
people attend the primary meetings, a
fair expression obtained, and then lei
every one work for the whole ticket.

Special Dispatch to The N. Y, Tribune.
From Washington.

WASHINGTON. Wednesday, March %, 1864.
Mr.. Solicitor Whiting has decided
that all persons liable to be enrolled
are liable to be drafted, and though
absent may be served with notice left
at their last place of residence. Non
appearance upon such notice subjects
them to the penalties of desertion. On
this decision the Provost Marshal has
issued his order.
The immense order for liquors said
to have been given by Gen. Frank
Blair last Summer, and which was so
widely published, was the occasion of
collision this morning in the House
in debate between him and Mr.. Nc
Clurg, of Missouri. Mr.. McCIurg
fastened the order upon Mr.. Blair
In rejoinder to his stout denial of ever
having issued it, made last week with
such directness and severity, Mr.. Blair
exploded with rage and denounced Mr..
McClurg as an ''infamous liar, forger
and scoundrel."
He subsequently repeated this Ian
guage with most malignant offensive
ness, the object of it sitting ominously
selfpossessed and silent Mr.. Nc
Clurg has been colonel of regiment,
and is from a duelling State. The in.
cident left the impression in the honse
that challenge and fight were in
evitable, unless averted by apologies
An important decision in the Dis
trict Supreme Court, yesterday, estab
lished the law that party claiming
the occupation of his property under
the Presidents Proclamation should
within the prescribed sixty days
"cease to aid, countenance, and abet
such Rebellion, and return to his al
liegiance to the United States;" ant
that the simple ''removal from rebel
lions to loyal State was not intended
TO be the evidence of such returned
allegiance"

forward to take it with the desire foI

The arrangements made by the rebel
Stuart for raid on the Orange & Alex
andria Railroad have been frustrated
by Gen. Pleasanton, whose forces de-
stroyed four rebel tanneries full of
hides, four grist mills, saw mill, and
large number of RATS and boats, and
captured 40 prisoners.
From Chattanooga we are informed
that the rebel army in our front is very
strong. Bishop Polk is said to be rein
forcing Johnston, and the artillery is
being brought up to the front. At the
same time it is asserted that our army
is in splendid condition.
The army in the South west is said
to be moving toward Northern Texas.
All the army officers in Washington
have been ordered to the front, and
shoulder-straps are not as plenty there
as usual.
We have a brace of statements that
Fremont is to be given a command
also, a statement of the same kind
concerning "Little Mac"
The rate of tax on spirits, ''it is un-
derstood," has been agreed upon by
the Committee on Ways and Means,
viz 81 per gallon, to 60 into effect in
July. Tobacco is to be taxed heavily.
By the arrival of the steamship
American we have news up to the 10th
inst. No further intelligence is re-
ceived in reference to the Danish war.
A proposition has been made by Russia
and England for an armistice, to await
the action of the proposed conference.
