The Presidential Question in
the Army Of the Potomac.

News from the Army of the Potomac
about the Presidential struggle is of the
most confiiting character. The facts seems
to be that the old soldiers who served un-
der him are for Mcclellan, bat the new lev,
les are for Lincoln. The officers, brave in
the face Of death, appear utterly cowed In
presence of this question, the Lincolnites-
all who seek promotion-being noisy and
vehement. while the Mcclellan shoulder
straps are mute % mice.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN has no warm, Jealous,
sincere or earnest friends. There is scarcely
member of his own party who has not
condemned him. His Administration had
disappointed and mortified those who were
originally most active in his support. By
this we do not mean that he has driven
away from him men like CRIrrENDEN, CAss,
GUTHRIE, BRAMLErTE, REvERDY JOHNSON,
I'd hosts of lesser note, who, though not
sympathizing with his PARTISAN views,
worked with him in the accomplishment
Of the early proclaimed objects Of the war.
Mr.. L1NcoLN's desertion of these friends
was shameful. But he has disguised
thousands Of former Republican adherents
There is hardly prominent member Of that
party, or an independent journal that has
not brought and proved the gravest charges
against the Admins traton, affecting some of
the dearest interest that belong to American
citizenship. Who is it that does not know
that nearly every Department has been
rocking with corruption and profigacy !;
that the public service has degenerated into
mere scramble for spoils that does not
experience the conviction that the servants
Of the people are daily losing respect for
popular rights and immunities that does
not shudder at the amount of debt which
has been piled upon the shoulders of the
present and succeeding generations that
does not stand appalled, at the awful con-
trast between the pr om Uses of the Admin
istration and its performances Political
favorites are fattenlng upon the blood of
the brave, and vcnalty seems to sap the
very foundations of official power. Ambi
ton and greed usurp the places of wisdom
aud fidelity. Society is becoming fearfulIy
demoralized. Our Government is rapidly
going to rack. Perhaps the saddest evil
dence of the degeneracy of the times is the
fact that Senator'S, Representatives, Gov.
errors, journalists, men of influence and
prominence, see the terrible maelstrom into
which the ship of state is careeninp, and
yet endeavor to shut away the painful
spectacle from their vision. They are sac
ri6cing their country for party discipline,
hugging the fond delusion that perhaps
their apprehensions may not be realized.-
Blind hope How can we Judge the future
but by the past How can we look for re-
forms in the Government when we coun-
tenance and sustain the authors of affecting
evils?
There is some virtue left In the people.

reluctance and regret to which history
will scarcely do justice. They were, as
they are now, welded to the principles on
which the Union was founded they sepa>
rated from it but to vindicate and maintain
them. Whether they acted wisely or IN
wisely must be left TO the imperial arbitra-
ment of time and coming events. But no
people were ever prompted to 90 momen-

tional liberty. For this we are denoun ced

slain by hostile armies. We are told that
We must be conquered or exterminated.
The North is fighting US to maintain the
mere fact or form of Union by force. We
are defending ourselves, to preserve the
great principles which lie at the foundation
of the Union.

STEAMER BURNT.FORTY
LIVES LOST.

RoNDoUT, n. Y, June 9.-The steamer
Berkshire was destroyed by fire last night
on Hudson river, about eight miles below
here. It is stated that nearly forty. eight
persons persisted, mostly burned to death.
New YORK, June 9,-The Commercial
special says, the steamboat Berkshire had
about $50 passengers aboard; the fire was
discovered when the boat was two miles
above Hyde Park, about 10 p. M. A
strong south wind blew the flames aft,
preventing many Of the passengers from
going forward. The pilot immediately
headed the boat for shore and grounded
her with only four or five feet OF water.
In the boat from forty to fifty passengers
are supposed to have been lost. Such as
escaped found shelter in some tishermens'
huts on the shore, the only habitations
within two miles.
The boat was launched about six
weeks since, and was furnished and APP
pointed in splendid style. Her huh is
burned to the waters edge. The names
Of the saved or lost are not yet learned.
