Late Northern news. From the late Yankee papers in our hands we continue to make up a summary of the news: Masters of the situation — what will be done with us. The Herald says: We are now masters of the situation. We have a magnificent army of 700,000 men, including an ordnance force which, if properly employed, will prove the justice of Napoleon's well known saying, that "Heaven is on the side of the heaviest artillery," and a cavalry corps of 50,000 men composed of as fine material as any in the world, the whole recently reorganized in respect to its field and line officers in a manner to render it equal to the emergencies of the most trying campaigns.--We have a navy which, in the number of vessels and sailors daily added to it, is rapidly advancing to the same state of strength and efficiency.

Senators and Members of the House are literally overrun with these office- seekers, besieging them at the doors of the Capital, their private quarters, or the streets, and it is said even on their way to church. The rush is simply occasioned by the passion for office, as the salaries are barely sufficient for a livelihood with the present high rates of living. A report from Richmond via Fortress Monroe states that General Beauregard left for Kentucky, taking with him fifteen thousand men, and that President Davis is to take command of the troops of Manassas in person after the inauguration on the 22d inst.

A dangerous crisis at hand. An officer from Cairo states that he visited Columbus lately under a flag of truce, and had an interview with Gen. Polk and others, who expressed a firm reliance upon aid from Great Britain at an early day.

In the meantime Mr. Morgan purchased them for the department, for which he was paid by the same party 2 ½ per cent. The broker now comes forward and sues the owner of the steamer for his 2 per cent. The defendant claims that he is not bound to pay, and insists that he can establish the fact that a "ring" was formed to prevent the Government from getting the New York steamers except at an exorbitant price established by the ring.
