He piles up a great heap of rascality every now and then, and, with a not unbecoming self satisfaction, calls upon the public to look upon the rascally fellows, with whom' jn party politics, he is associated We arc far from insinuating that Mr.

Mr. Wyck Is engaged a business of which he should be ashamed on the contrary, we think he has done the "State some service, and, as the question of his continuing to act with a party, according to his own showing, so corrupt, is merely one of personal taste, we do not propose to enter into it.

E. B. Ligbtbtli. Dear Sir; It is with the kindest Disheartening News Fickleness in the Army The Work on the Canal Special Dispatch to the Chicago Times. St.

Louis, 'March 5. Parties just' arrived from Vicksbucg say that they met a heavy rise in the river, and that the army will have to evacuate. Special Dispatch to the Chicago Times. Cincinnati, March 5. Grape vine intelligence reports preparations by the army in front of Vicksburg to return up the Mississippi River to Memphis and the Tennessee river, and that transports are being sent forward to that end.

It is stated that the number of sick in Grant's army on the 26th waB nearly 12,000, as shows by surgeon's reports forwarded to Washington, and the number of deaths per day is very large. Although steamers are being pressed into Gov erument service here and elsewhere, is is questionable if their destination is as above reported. mv i 1 i iu iij lugu, vvjiiU overflow of levees, yet operations, at latest xuv aTjLiobioBijppi river is very nign, with an ac counts, were progressing steadily and actively on the canal near Vicksburg and Yazoo Pass. Porter's fleet have no doubt run the blockape and guue ueiow, leaving iwo aDove to keep the river clear, and act as convoy to transport fleets up and down the Mississippi. On last Friday night, Richmond and Petersburg, were illuminated in honor of a great vumeueraic victory; dui aavices ar not state where that victory was had, unlesB it was Vioks uuig, uo me regular aispaicnes nigut before last.

Judge Moore, who acted as airent of the Sani tary Commission in the army opposite Vicksburg, returned to day, and reported to the com mission. lu Lugm, Buusiunce, itjat nearly every tent was a hospital, and that there are not in Gen. Grant's army more than men fitfor duty, which information he obtained from different officers of the army, and who actually 6tated to him that less than 520,000 men were really able to ume me ueiu. tne cause oi so mucn sieKness is attributable to weather and climate. The soldier is unable to keep himself dry in or out of his tent.

Judge M. reports that, unless government orders their return home to recuperate, in less than a month the banks opposite Vicksburg now occupied by our army, will be litorelly a graveyard. The troops were greatly in need of sanitary stores and supplies. The total numbei of men in Grant's army, as he repsrted, I do not feci at liberty to send you. Judge Moore's statements aae in every respect entitled to the fullest credence.

On last Friday afternoon, the Indianola and Queen of the West were discovered under the guns at Warrenton. The former was not surrendered in a sinking condition, but is now in a condition to do effective service for the enemy. The transport Emma has groundad in Yazoo Pass. It is reported that Gen. Grant has ordered all discharged officers and soldiers to leave the department to prevent dealings in cotton.

Memphis, March 3. The Kenton arrived from Vicksburg last night, forty eight hours out. She brings no later news than by the steamer Henderson. Reports of serious damage to the Indianola hen captured are not credited by anybody. The Southern account of the affair has not arrived.

An attack was expected by the fleet on Thursday night. It was feared that the rebel rams might get after the transports. All were ordered to keep steam up all night, that they might be able to back out from the levee and start up stream at a given signal. More heavy rains have rendered the camp roads almost impassable. The river is rising, threatening inundatirn at two or three points.

bicknese is said to be increasing in the army, particularly diarrhoea, pneumonia and remittent fever the "natural result of continued rains. Two negroes who died of small pox were found at Milliken's Bend a few days ago, their bodies half eaten by wolves. The canal is being pumped dry, for the purpose of widening it. Kain has lately interfered with the progress of the steam pumps. A few nights ago a squad of soldiers made a breach in the dam for the purpose of catching fish, and let in more water than could be pumped out In two days.

The rebels are training truns so as to drori shot and shell into the canai's mouth from the lo wer slide. They have a battery of Whitfield and Armstrong guns directly opposite the canal's mouth. Caibo, March 0. ThcBelle, of Memphis, andRuth, have just arrived from Memphis, with 118 bides of cotton and Winers of the 4th. Passengers from the fleet say that nothing important has occurred since the capture of the Indianola.

Sickness in the army is increasing. The canal between the Mississippi River and Lake Providence is finished, but the water has not yet been let in. The engineers are debating about building a lock. A large force is engaged in removing obstructions from the canal connecting the lake with Bayou Macon. It is fourteen miles long.

As soon as this is finished, the expedition wiU be ready to move. REAL LACES. IN COLLARS, SETS, VEILS, BARBES, And by the jard, received per steamer Africa, for sale by ARNOLD, CONSTABLE CO. m93t Corner of Canal and Mercer streets. FAMILY DRY GOODS.

LOCAL LEGISLATION. Albatjy, March 7. THE DUMMY IN ANOTHER SHAPE. In the Senate this morning Mr. Sanford introduced the following bill, which.

I understandi has the approval, or originates with the company Section 1. The Brooklyn Central and Jamaica Kail road Company is hereby authorized to procure and use one or more dummy engines for the transportation of freight and passengers on all cars now run by said company between Clasaon avenue and the city of Brooklyn, and any point beyond the village of East New York; pro viuea, Duwover, mat oaitx i uiapany snail nrsi repay 10 uvu wtuv unuun vi mo fiivinjrt Uluug kuab portion OI the route where said engines shall be used, as shall not I consent to tho use thereof, an equitable proportion of any uiuuuul wuicu suun owners may nave paia on account of the assessment imposed upon said property under tho act providing for the closing of the entrances of the tunnel, and restoring the street to its proper grade; and shall also pay to the persons or parties entitled to the same an equitable proportion of any assessment imposed upon said property under the act aforesaid, which Bhall not have been paid at the time said company shall avail itself of the authority hereby confirmed. Sec. 2. In case said company shall be unable to agreo with any owner of said property, or any part thereof, or with the persons or parties entitled to receive any unpaid assessment thereon, as to the equitable proportion of the assessment upon such property, which shall be refunded or paid as hereinbefore provided, then the amount to be so refunded or paid shall be ascertained, determined and paid, in the same manner and by the same proceedings provided in the general Eaitr'oad Act of 185u, and the acts amendatory thereof, for ascertaining the damcgea and compensation to be paid in case of taking private property for the use of railroad companies.

Except that in the petition to the Supremo Court for any of the purposes authorized by this section, it shall not be necessary to make any allegation of, or reference to the construction or finishing of any railroad, or to any capital stock, or the filing of any certificate of location, nor need such petition contain any description of any real estate, but in place thereof It shall state the assessment in relation to which said pompany shall be unable to agree as aforesaid, and to whom assessed, if known, and the name, if known, of the person or persons entitled lo receive the same. Sec. 8. In asserting or determining the amount to be refunded or paid as aforesaid, the Commissioners appointed pursuant to the provisions of the last preceding section, shall take into consideration, and make due allowance for, the expenBerincurred by the Ixmg Island Eailroad Company or its assigns, in closing the tunnel on Atlantic street, and the consequent loss of property sustained by said iast named company or its assigns, by the closing of said tunnel, and also the difference in effect upon the value of laid assessed property ibetween the engines authorized to be used by this Act, as a motive power, and those which were in use upon said railroad at or prior to the time ef the closing of said tunnel and the report of said Commissioners shall specify the sum which they shall deem an equitable proportion of the assessment which, in view of all tho facts and circumstances, ought to be refunded or paid by said company, and to whom payable. Sec.

4. From and after the time said company shall commence the use of the engines authorized by this Act, no freight trains of cars shall be run on the road of said company, between Classen avenue and East New York, except between the hours of 5 P. M. and 10 A. unless for the purpose of conveying milk and freight of a perishable nature.

Sec 5. So much of the Act mentioned in the foregoing First Section as is inconsistent with this Act is hereby repealed. bee. T. This Act shall take effect immediately.

Senator Sanford is not committed to this bill. He is in favor of the section which provides for the appointment of Commissioners to determine what nmount of drawback shall be allowed to the residents along the line, on the assessments paid oy them lor closing the tunnel and grading: the street, but he is opposed to two of the other provisions in the above, and it is probable that to secure his support the Company will make what they call "further concessions." Mr. S. miorms me that he will submit a written report on this subject on Tuesday or Wednesday. The bill to incorporate the Brooklyn Academy "i iDiLuunu was reported lavorauiy by the literature Committee this mornins, and advanced to the Committee of the Whole.

The Republicans are endeavoring, much to ttie amusement of the publie, to keep up the semblance of unity by having but one General Committee. The Kilkenny cats, of which after one of their meetings nothing bnt the tails trere left, typifies the harmony existing in the Republican General Committee. Resolutions are carried by the strong right hand, and motions to adjourn are seconded by BtriMng out from the shoulder. The members not accustomed to "travel on their take no part in the deliberations, and like good citizens, when a debate is commenced which is sure to end fisticuffs, take up their hats and go home. Mr.

Hunt, as one of the most muscular men in the body, presides, and the weaker brethren are held in subjection by a system of logic far more venerable than Whateley's, and which has its ablest exponent in Professor John Heenan. Between the rival factions we are not sure that there is any difference in principles, whatever difference there may be in muscular development. The Democrats are also divided into two factions, but, unlike the Republicans, they agree to disagree, and have two distinct organizations Between the two sections of the Democracy there is not ft particle of divergence upon any party principle, but there is evidently a bad feeling among them, which will end, one of these days, in an explosion. Paradoxical as it may seem, the common bond of union, and, at the same time, the real cause of discord between these two bodies, is the spoils of office. Last year the offices vrere divided between both sections of the party.

As it is not easy always to settle the conflicting claims of the leaders on both sides, the chances are even that we shall have a row this fall The great mass of the party care not who get the offices, so long as the are reason, ably fair men, and that, by electing them, they can advance the principles of the party to which they are attached. The result of a row between both committees will be to transfer the power of both to other hands. In a crisis like this, the people will not, lo humor the whim of any local aspirant to office, divide their strength and the soonor the leaders of the rival factions make up their minds to this fact the bettter. It is a bad way to prevent a breach of the peace to be alwas prepared for war, and the rival factions by keeping up a distinct orgonization are always ready for battle. We cannot for the life of us see what good purpose is to be secured by keeping np a division in a party whose members profess to adhere to the same principles.

It will end sooner or later in a big quarrel. There is no better time than the present for abandoning past disputes. The principal favorites of both organizations are at present in office, with a single exception, Mr. John McNamee, who is understood to be a candidate for Sheriff, and to whose elevation to that position there is scarcely a word of dissent on either side, and none whatever, we that section of the Democracy with whom of late Mr McNamee has been less closely associated. There is no conflict of principle there is danger in keeping up two rival organizations each of them earnestly seeking to break up the other.

"While they are evenly balanced a show of good feeling will be kept up, but the moment it6eems that one is weaker than the other, the stronger will endeavor to drive the weaker to the wall. The Democracy need combined councils and they need to be plain with them to be represented in their local organizations by men, who do not join them in the hope of securing office. As a class, the men who assume to represent the Democracy of this county in committees and conventions no more represent their intelligence than does Brigham Young the morality of Christendom. The times are serious; they call for united counsels; the hope of the country rests with the conservative party; let us have harmony and let us have our best men to represent us in this thoroughly reliable conservative county. Piling oh the Agony.

We notice that it is proposed at Albany to change theTaw passed last year, and gives us in this county four coroners in" stead of two. Uuderthe former law wehadfour coroners, but the district of each of them was defined. Two years ago the Supreme Court decided that this feature of the law was unconstitutional, and that any of the coroners was authorized t0 act in any part of the county. Three of the four coroners then opened offices in the vicinity of the City Hall, and maintained a rivalry in their trade as sharp as Chatham street Jews. The indecent strife 6liowii by some of them to get hold of dead bodies, has disgraced this county.

Men it is said were paid for prowling around the docks, like turkey buzzards in quest of carriou, looking for "subjects" for the coroner. The strife run so high at one time, that it was not without reason feared that a quiet citizen might be knocked on 41. i.nrl vuiLfiier CUaiJCC 01 CamiD0" six dollars in befogging the circumstances attending his martyrdom to this spirit of un gorous rivalry. By a law passed last year, as we said, the coroners are hereafter to be limited to two. Its repeal is asked for on the ground that tinder this law business in the county towns is liable to be neglected.

The advocates of the lavs say that heretofore the five county towns have had two coroners, and as their population is in. creasing they still need that number at least. This desire to possess a coroner of their own is peculiar to the rural population. So far as the city is concerned it would give up its right to the coroners without a murmur. The people of the county towns forget that if we had four coroners the chances are that the whole bunch would be located in the neighborhood of the City Hall, ready to tear each other's eyes out in their avidity to secure business.

We elected a coroner for two of the county towns two years ago, since the former law was declared unconstitutional he has had an office in the city, where he has done a great deal by his efforts to depose the coroner elected for the city, ot business, to bring the office into public contempt. The county towns will do better for themselves, and save us in the city from trouble, by permitting the law to remain as it stands, and asking for the passage of Mr. Paulding's bill, which gives the Justices of the Peace in the county towns the right to act as coroners without the city limits. The Inmanola. We learn from rebel sources that the iron clad steamer Indlanola was so much damaged in the fight with the ram Queen of the West and Webb that she sunk.

The guns, they 6ay, were recaptured by the Union forces. As we have seen no' account of any Union forces be tweeen Vicksburg and Port Hudson except it be the two iron clads which were captured by the rebels we arc inclined to disbelieve the statement, and should not be surprised to hear some day that the Indianola, like the oldMerrlmac, reappeared iirall her original effectiveness, and made herself felt below Port Hudson upon our wooden ships coming up from New Orleans. in GILLIE'S FRAGRANT AMERICAN RYE OOFFEH. 12 OEHWPEE POUND.

disclosures, says The Administration has feared to drive such men from its door, lest hostility should be aroused against it. That which they supposed strength has been the great source of weakness. With a single exception, when has one of these men been Court Martailed or punished. Today they have injured the Republic more than the South in arms. Had they been arrested and placed under the gallows or in Fort Lafayette, your army would have been stronger, your people at home more united.

No wonder that your soldiery and their friends are dissatisfied. They cannot appreciate the patriotism of stealing." This is a grave charge. If Mr. Van Wyck was not himself a Republican, he would in all probability go to Fort Lafayette himself for 'weakening the hands of the administration." So much for Mr. Van Wyck's side of the story.

Mr. Barney's law partner, comes to his defence. He adroitly avoids the greater part Of Mr. Van Wyck's statements, and endeavors to impugn his veracity, Mr. Van Wyck, however much he is opposed to the men who go in "for making all they can while it lasts," is favorable to another party movement at which he appears to be an adept.

When the Republicans desire to carry a point and anybody 6tands in their way, he Is, of course, either a secessionist, a copperhead or a traitor. Mr. Van Wyck, it appears, desired to have an employee removed from the Custom House to secure a place for a favorite of his own; he commenced with the usual formula by charging the employee with se cessionism. Mr. Bntler exhumes the following letter "Wasbixoton, MayS, 1361.

I wrote yon not long since that 0. B. Whiston should be removed." Whiston's friends are Secessionist at heart and have no doubt such is Whiston. O. H.

V. Whiston was removed on this. He sought for the ground of his removal, and heard that his own representative in Congress had effected it by a charge of disloyalty. He wrote to him, asking If it was true. Van Wyck replied as follows, i quote from his letter "Wabhisgtox, Monday, Jan.

"To O. Whiston, Nothing could surprise me more than the statement in your letter this day received, that you were removed from the Custom House at my suggestion, because you were a Secessionist. "Whatever may be the source of your information, I pronounce the statement false and untrue. I never asked for your removal: 1 never said you were a Secessionist; I never believed you wereone.1' This looks bad for Van Wyck. In this interesting quarrel wc do not pretend to say who is right.

The probabilities are that both parties are in the main correct. TOPICS OF THE DAY. We publish in another column a despatch to the Chicago Times, which represents the army before Vicksburg to be suffering severely from the effects of the climate. If the despatch be true no method of reducing Vicksburg could be more costly than the round about and almo st incomprehensible one resorted to. The Editor of a paper published in Georgia, it appears, does not despair of a reconstruction of the Union.

The fact comes to us through the Atlanta Confederacy, which denounces the editsr aforesaid. The Confederal says: "There are fewer Abolitionists in Massachusetts than Reeonstruc ionists in Georgia." Well, there maybe fewer and still enough to bring Georgia into line by andby. There is an admission madein these two lines pregnant of meaning. The New Hampshire Election comes off tomorrow. There are three members of Congress, a Governor, and a Railroad Commissioner to be elected.

Last year the Democrats were beaten by only about 4000 votes the Republicans claim to have still a slight majority in the State. The fight is a square one, and is looked forward to with gieat interest. A correspondent who was on board one of the Monitor boats in a recent attack on a fort defend, ing Savannah, writes as follows 'In no place was there the least sign of psnetration. The enormous 15 inch gun, weighing, with its carriage, 45,000 pounds, was handled with ease. No trouble or annoyance was experienced from the concussion or smoke, either from the impact of shot outside the discharge of the gun.

When a shot struck the turret it sounded like the cracking of a nut upon an anvil. Many difficulties were experienced, but all admit of a remedy; but it is a marvel how such complicated machinery worked upon its first trial. The turret weighing 150 tons is, as you know, keyed up from below, and its weight supported upon a shaft; after continued firing It sagged somewiiat, and considerable trouble was encountered in keying up, so that it would revolve easily. The blast from the guns came back througbt he eye holes in the pilot house so that effects of practice could not be observed. The big gun fills up its port hole so that it coud Hot be sighted, except by the "eleven inch" along side of it, which is rough gunnery.

Firing over the stern and quarter caused the boilers to foam: they must be secured also most firmly; down below, glass suffered and the wicks of lamps disappeared at each discharge, gome means must be devised for handling the enormous projectiles, weighing upwards of 1VW IDS. On I he whole, these novel craft are a success so far as fighting qualities arc concerned; but I would rather go into ten actions than to make a passage at sea in one of them. It is God's providence that enables them to marcii upon tne ocean, it incy jive tnrough one gale they never will survive another. In smooth water they seem to be perfect, but our people must not expect too much of these vessels. I would euarantee to hold a sand battery like that at Genesis Point against a dozen of them; two of them would demolish Fort Sumter, or any square casemated stone or brick fort in two hours, but sand forts are a different thing; particularly where the guns are isolated and far apart, protected by hiirh thick earthen traverses."

He arrived here on Sunday last, across the Rappahannock. Though he presented a proper pass, and waB a radical anti slavery man and friend ef the North, he was thrown into the Old Capital Prison.

On the repeated representations and protest of the French Minister he was released vesterdav. He eays the rebels consider Vicksburg their most valuable point as they receive much of their subsistence from Texas. Of the capture of Vicksburg they are very apprehensive. They think that Charleston and Savannah, where the forts are iron clad, can hold out against the Gunboats. President Davis, he says, is very little talked of, and is held In much less esteem than many of the Generals.

WATERBURY. CATARRH CURED. From Rev. P. R.

Russell, Lynn, Mass. I have been troubled with Catarrh of the worst type for some twenty years. It gradually grew worse, producing cough and hoarseness, destroying the sense of smell, and breaking down my general health to such a degree as to compel me to resign my pastorate and suspend public speaking. I made diligent use of tic usual remedies, such as snuffs of divers kinds, nitrate of silver, tar water, olive tar and inhalations, but without any very salutary effects. Lost Summerl heardofDr.

LiOBTniLL'ssuccessfulmode of treating Catarrh, visited him, and put myself under his treatment. I began immediately to improve, and this improve ment has gone on to the present time. My Catarrh has gradually melted away, my cough has disappeared, my voice has become natural, and I am once more able to preach the blessed Gospel. Let me advise all who are troubled with Catarrhal difficulties to apply to Dr. Liam hill.
