The Preslden,,s Recep,ion.

How sadly changed is Washington, the once
gIes. and beautiful capital of the United States,
may be boSt told by. the following paragraphs
describing "the Presidents reception:
At the late Presidential reception at the White
House, Mrs. Lincoln WIS taStefully attiTed in a
white silk dress, heavily festoonsd with rich
black lace, and wore a necklace Of pearls, and
head-dress also of pearls, as if nothing had
happened and nobody hurt"
During the evening, Dr.. Augusta, the colored
surgeon for the districS colOred regiment, dressed
in Sis majors uniform, and setting surgeon Ab.
bolt, cOlored, OF the same regiment, paid their

A NEW RRATURE IN NORTHERN
RRHUTHEsA

One Of the most curious political movements
of the day, is the nomination OF JOHN G. FIRE
MONT for the Presidency, by the EOIG's FreHHd,
German Democratic paper, hitherto of the
VALLANDIcHAM school of politics. This is 5
meet extraordinary political trsnsmogrifcalisn,
IS that journal has for many years bseR regard
cd as one of the irmest pclitica journals in the
North. In 1856 and 1860, when most of the
German papers vent over to Aboliuonism, this
cno stood firm, and held the German vote OF
Ohio to the Democratic column. We give the
article announcing the extraordinary summer
sgalt elsewhere today.
The Cincir nati ERqEirsE chsracterizes the
COURSE of the Yoik's FreHnd as trsscheFOus to
its German supporters, and expresses the opin-
ion they viii not be influenced By It. A meet.
ing Of leading Germans vas promptly hald in
Cincinnati, and capital Of S50,000 raised to
start new organ. But the political muss in
the North has become so iuezplicable, it is IN
cafe to conjecture how the campaign viii end.

From ills New 7 oFk Herald, March Is
The man on horseback, With bis "headqusr.
tsys in the saddle has come at last. Accord.
ing TO General Orders No. 9S." from the war
efiee, major General Hslleck is, At his own
request, relieved from duty IS genaTal-iD-chiei
of the army, and Lieut-Gen. u 8. Grant is
assigned to the command Of che srmies Of the
United States" and 'the headquarters of the
army will be in Washington, asd also with
Lieut. .GsR Grant in The field"
This is the arrangement effected ia Eha gen
erals late visit 20 the nationsl capital. As
geRsFsl-i1-ehief he 10 not to be shut uD and tied
TO dosh in the Wsr office, bat is 20 DO free 10
visit in person our different armies, in shaping
and directing their movements. Instead, there
fore, Of losing bis services in the field By his
promotion TO his present position, they are sx-
tended around the entire eiEele Of the rebellion.
It is the fixed conviction OF the country that
tbs approaching campaign will sxtinguish the
rebellion or give it new lease of life; it Is the
belief Of the country tina. cur armies in the field
with our powerful cooperating aseis, are
abnndantly able to put an end to the Davis
OonfedeEsey in this campaign. This is he
opinion OF the country and the army The Ad-
ministTAtion is aware Of il; Gen. Grant knows
il, and we doRbt not shares in this opinion, and
is shaping his plans accordingly. He has some
NIAASAtha0o boibAS u1h aAto luAIbuob EuFna-
tsges which he has gained, and which he now
holds, make him the undOubted master Of the
military situation.
Let the movements Of our armies, therefore.
in the interval to the meeting Of the Baltimore
convention in June, strengthen or sustain the
military reputation Of Gen. Grant, and he CON
veni0n viii be irresiBtibly borne along to bis
nomination. We believe, too, that between this
day and the 9TH Of June such victories will be
Gained By cur armies IS will slectrify the conn
Try from the Atlantic 10 the P6eife cosss.
The Herald concludes as follows:
But we enter the struggle under hOpsful ans.
pices in some respects. Gen. Grant Is nov our
man on horseback. His great victories IN the
West have saved the country from lhe dsstruc-
tion that the blundeTs Of tho Administration
would have brought upon it, and il is to be
hoped thai, with greater power, be viii accom-
plish vastly more.
Two hundred thousand men have bean called
for, Il Is 20 be supposed st hts suggestion. Let
them be given. We must not stunt ia men or
money now for this is 70 be the final irisl. II,
with Genersl Grant at tie head spd the struggle
as it noq is, We cannot put the rebellion down in
the coming summer, We can never put Il down.
Never agsin, if we fsieDow, shall we be IL so
good a position to strike the decisive blow

enough in The West to effect this movement
The Utmost that couid, in opposition 70 Lincoln
and Fremont, be attained W0ald be, thai the
presidential election Would be thrown into the
Houss of Representatives, where Lincoln would
have feiT play; Mcclellan, however, would have
no homes whatsoever. At ct all events sueh an
eventuAiity would bo, in the present crisis, pro
ductivs of ihs most fearful consequences, and
to be regretted as q heavy calamity. Perhaps
the only man who, under the present cireum-
stances, could be pat up against Lincoln Wiih
any prospect Of success, Is General John C..
Fremont. The slavery question, which We COZ
eloef TO nave been disposed of by the waf, sepa-
rases as 10 more, and If We do not eontsnancs
VARIOUS OF his other principles OF qualities entine-
", these considerations vanish before the great
am which to reach is our principal object
"Set1afsoA Of ihs RePablis--A dsfsat 20 Ab1s-
hGz LlHeotn"
And We are happy to have, through CONVERSE
ton with old, respected, patriotic Democrats
won the conviction that the great mass of our
readers ere animated By ike sentiments. And
why not Gen. Fremont has always proved to
be warm FREUD Of the Germans, and in these
charging times this is 4 guarantee which can
not be 0veTTated. For these reasons, then, we
put the name Of Gen. John G. Fremont as that
Of an Independent candidate Of the people, as
the head Of our columns, eherishing the hops
that soon other Independent papers viii follow
cur example. Our time is An earnest one. Who
knows which lot is hidden in the dark womb Of
tho future for the people Of this country, and
particularly for us Gsrmans We Germans
know by experience the curse Of disunion, the
curse of slavery. How much have we not
lOnged for unity and freedom, and here We shall
discard these treasures, nay shall sacrifice them
on the altar Of q blind party spirit We de-
clare ourselves for John G. Fremont, because,
by the resignation of Mr. Chase, the spscter
Lincoln, foTebOding calamity, again emeTges
and because it is our solemn duty 70 relieve an
exhaugted country from this deadly nightmare
Can in the course OF the next month, another
eandidsts be found who, In the ssEuggls Of the
preseRt Incumbent Of the presidential Office,
affords better guarantees for SUCCESS fhan Frs-
mont The same principle which determines
our present. act shall give him cur supysrt.

writes from Washington as follows:
As for biF Lincoln, he has not the least in

total null--s good RatuTed monster, Totally de-
VOID Of IDEAS upheld simply by his concealed
cunning, a quality which hsrmonizss so well
with coAIssness. Here, in Washington, he has
few friends. All speak of BIN with contempt.
. His love Of show slono would
excite any Republican indignation. Two cayal-
erists hold continual guard st his gate, and two
infAnterises st the ehierance of bis door Mrs.
Lincoln, they say, wants It 80, and, to please
her, the Republican President must make lac
queys of dozoa Republican citizens every day.
Even ia Europe 10 prince permits himself such
humbug. Congress ought to take hold Of this
mater One Of the most prominent politicians
in Washington told me he heard Mr.. Lincoln
say, Ths best policy is to have no policy at
sli' replied, translated into German, that
means, it is best TO have no principle at Al, and
as little sense as possible This is sptly ex-
pressed BIZ cur German pToveFb; He gets
