From Washington.


WASHINGTON, January 1.-The War
Department this morning issued an order
to the Provost Marshall to turn over the
Old Capitol prison temporarily to the
Navy Department, for the confinement of
Captain symmes. The court has not yet
been fully appointed for his trial. 1t will
be commenced on the 11th of January,
and will sit in one Of the rooms Of the
Navy Department.
Mr. Clement c. Clay, formerly United
States Senator from Alabama, more re-
Gently Confederate agent in Canada, end
at present prisoner at Fortress Monroe,
has recently been permitted by the Presi-
dent TO receive q. visit from his wife
airs. Clay arrived at the Fortress on
Thursday last, and was soon admitted to
an interview with her husband in his pri-
ron. Our Fortress Monroe correspondent
states that she WAS surprised to find Mr..
Clay in such good health, his confinement
not appearing to have injuriously affected
him.
sThe health Of Mr. Davis is also said to
be good.
Commander Winslow, formerly of the
Kearsage, has been ordered TO the COM
,nand of the Gulf squadron. The squad
ron consists OF twenty vessels, carrying
l3S guns.
Mr. Raymond, OF New York, has now
cut fully loose from the radical camp, and
will in future stand firmly by the Presi-
dents policy. He will carry with him
goodly number of others.
WASHINGTON, January Sit is rumor-
cd that President Johnson, at the meeting
of Congress, will send in 8 special mes
sage in regard to the admission of mem
bers of Congress from the Southern States.
The. course of Henry ]. Raymond, it ap-
pears, has somewhat alarmed the ultra
radicals It is understood that Mr.. Ray
mond has publicly expressed himself as
holding that, since the rebellion has ended
and slavery is abolished, the North and
South should have equal representative
powers in Congress. He argues that the
North, under the Constitution, has no
right to legislate for the South unless the
South is represented in Congress. He
believed that the majority of the South
ern members have been legitimately cleo
ted, and should be admitted to seats. Mr..
Raymond, despite the Vaccinations of the
ultra-SteEcns party, when Congress gets
to work. will be an earnert supporter of
President johnson and the leader of the
House.

TIE National Zntelzigencer says: "It is
with great pleasure that we announce the
fact that the President will thus soon be
enabled to crown his great work of con
ciliation by proclamation declaring that
the States whose powers have been SO
long in abeyance have resumed their
proper functions as members Of the Union,
and that the Union IS restored!" The
ntszIiqencer, it will be observed, does not
sav that the President ,oiU issue this proc
lamation. but that he will soon be ena-
6lslo to do it. Such proclamation would
hasten the crisis between tho Radicals
and Conservatives.

Torthy the position we have assumed did not ou
ceilings correspond with the writer:
Furl that banner, for tits weary,
Round its staff It's dropping dreary,
Furl it, fold it, for tits best
For there's not man to wave it,
And there's not sword to save it,
And there's not one left to lave 1t
In the blood which heroes gave it,
And its foes now scorn and brave il
Furl il, hide it, let it rcst.
Take that banner down, tits battered,
Broken Is its staff and shattered,
And the valiant hosts are scattered
Over whom it Aoated high.
Oh! tits hard for US to fold it,
Hard to think there's none to hold it,
Hard that those who once unrolled it
Nov must furl it with sigh.
Furl that banner, furl it sadly,
Once ten thousand hailed it gladly,
And ten thousand wildly, madly,
Swore it should forever wave
Swore that foeman's sword could never
Hearts like theirs entwined dissever,
Till that flag should float forever
Der their freedom or their grave.
Furl it, for the hands that grasped it,
And the hearts that fondly clasped it,
Cold and dead are lying low;
And that banner it is trailing,
While around it sounds the wailing
OF its people in their woe
For, though conquered, they adore it,
Love the hands now cold that bore.it,
Weep for those who fell before it,
Pardon those who trailed and tore it,
And OIL wildly they deploreit
Now to furl and fold it so.
Furl that banner-true, tbs CORY,
Yet tits wreathed around with glory,
And twill live in song and story
- Though its folds are IN the dust.
For its fame on brightest pages,
Penned by poets and by sages,
Shall go sounding down the ages,
Furl its folds though now We must.
Furl that banner, softly, slowly,
Treat it gently, it is holy
For it droops above the dead,
Touch it not, unfurl it never,
Let it droop there furled forever,
For it's peoples hopes, are fed.

Brigadier General Taaghau, lately re-
ported d-asss- having attempted to commit
Suicide at St. Louis, has published q let
ter denying the charge and explaining
the circumstances which gave rise to the
story. He says that On overdose of med
icine, taken to relieve severe nervous
headache, was the sole cause Of this un-
founded rumor of his attempted suicide.
A squad of United States Colored
troops, with number of discharged col
ored soldiers, made an attack, with view
no doubt to plunder, on the house Of a
widow near Augusta, Georgia, on Christ
mas Day, supposing her to be unprotec-
ted. They, however, met with unexpec-
ted resistance, and were driven off; but,
not before five of their number were
wounded, three mortally and two serious
ly.
PRESIDENTS LEvEE.-Notwithstanding
the dsagreeable condition of the weather
in Washington on the first of January,
tho first levee of President Johnson was
largely attended. Foreign ministers, mem
bcrs of the Cabinet and other prominent
civil officers. together witt Senators and
Representatives, were received first, after
which officers of the army and navy and
marine corps, followed by citizens, paid
their respects to the President. Gen.
Grant and staff were present and con.
spicuous among the crowd. The marine
band discoursed pleasant music. The
public Departments were closed and busi-
ness generally suspended. After the gen.

a few colored persons on the grounds
were admitted and paid their respects to

dons his position as Secretary of the Treasury
after having done what he could to break
down the national credit and went into the

laboring to bring about a dissolution Of the

him as insincere, because he refused to vote
for Mr.. Winthrop in preference to, Howell
Cobb. But Winthrop was pro-slavery man
as well as Mr. Cobb, and that aUas areu Enoao'a
to Mr.. King. During that very session MI
Winthrop voted for the Texas Boundary line,
which extended the area of slavery over free
territory, sufficient to make four states larger
than Maine. He also voted to organize the
territories with number Of provisions design
ed to make them slaveholding. All this was
expected of Mr.. winthrop by Mr.. King. Who
can doubt at this day that pro-slavery man
rom the North, voting like Robert C. Win
shrop, for the extension of slavery, is answer
able for higher degree Of guilt in plunging
this nation into war than STAKEHOLDER in the
South, who voted in the same way? h"@'
No doubt John Tyler. James 81. Polk, Mill
lard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, and James Du-
ehanan, each and every one used all their in
fuence to strengthen and spread the system
of slayeholding. In this way they each and
I every one, encouraged the leading rebels and
gave them the power to raise the standard of
rebellion. But what loyal man now doubts
that Fillmore, Pierce and Buchanan were
more guilty In the naatter of bringing on the
rebellion and plunging the nation into war
b than Polk and Tyler? And with the knowl-
edge Mr.. King had at the time, how could he,
as an honest man, give his vote for Robert c.

good part to his "genial" character and hab-
it's Yet think he was very honest man

King made no deviations from the bee-line of
duty in political life. But do mean to say.
that he travelled much nearer that line than
most political men. And considering how
near that line he walked, and the moderate
standard Of his intellectual powers, his success
as a politician, was wonder that can only be
accounted for by his extremely social qualities.
