Progress of the war. the Washington Cabinet, Thinking the Confederacy Subjugated, is Considering peace Mr. Seward Wishes to offer an amnesty to the Subjugated Confederates. among the richest telegrams from Washington that we find in the New York Herald is one dated on the 12th inst. Since the news from New York we rather think that an amnesty to the "rebels" in that city had better first be disposed of. The correspondent says: I am enabled positively to announce that the question of peace has already been considered in Cabinet circles. More than that, we are actually in the midst of a Cabinet crisis, growing out of a proposition made by Mr. Seward for the issuance of a Presidential proclamation offering an amnesty to the people of the South, withdrawing the emancipation proclamation, suspending the liabilities of the confiscation act, and offering, in short, full and free pardon and protection in their personal and property rights to the people of the South, onl

n fine condition, and ready to follow rapidly. Pontoons were across the river last evening, and we have no doubt that his advance is already on Virginia soil. It would not be proper to state the point of crossing; but it will be a satisfaction to know that our army is in pursuit. We also learn that the delay in attacking the rebels was owing to the differences of opinion among the corps commanders, to whose views Gen. Meade yielded in opposition to his own judgment, sustained by Gens. Pleasanton and Warren. They were all for an immediate attack on coming up, before the enemy had time to entrench. A Northern view of intervention. The New York World seems to think this war a most hopeless sort of business. If the Confederates are successful the North must yield, and if they meet with disaster it fears foreign intervention. It says: If the war drags on, as hitherto, the same result will follow, since the prolongation of the war is confirmation of hope to the rebe

There was but one cartridge for the 32, and but five rusty round-shot and a few stand of grape.--The attacking steamers were filled with armed men, and their machinery protected by bales of rags and cotton. We fired away all our ammunition, set fire to the cutter, and surrendered in our small boats. It was my intention when I came into Portland to cut out a sea-going steamer, but, strange to say, at the decisive moment, Mr. Brown (whom you will remember in connection with the breaking down of the Arkansas engine) declared himself incompetent to work the engines of the steamer unless he had another engineer to cooperate with him. All my plans were then crushed, and I was compelled to take the cutter out as a dernier resort. If there had been a breeze, we would have been far out to sea before daylight, having committed considerable destruction in the harbor of Portland. We have been kindly treated by our captor

inet council so far informal; but it has developed two parties. Mr. Bates and Montgomery Blair favor it with certain modifications, while Messrs. Stanton and Chase violently oppose it. Mr. Welles is supposed also to be opposed to it. Mr. Usher, who always votes with the President, will decide whichever way that functionary dorrow under which they are willing that peace should be declared and the Union restored. It embraces the following points, which, it is stated, were suggested by Mr. Chase: First--Savery shall cease in the whole United States after the year 1876, the minors at that time to remain slaves until twenty-one years of age, and sla are all powerful here in all the departments, especially in the Navy, and War, and Treasury departments. Hence it is supposed that Mr. Welles, Mr. Stanton, and Mr. Chase can be relied upon for the strongest opposition to all means looking towards an early peace.

We give an extract from the letter, showing that it was not Lieut. Read's fault that the steamers sent after him were not sunk: My Dear Barratt.

Schofield: Dear Sir: Having removed General Curtis and assigned you to the command of the Department of Missouri, I think it mbe of some advantage for me to state to you why I did it. I did not relieve General Curtis because of my full conviction that he had done wrong, by commission or omisle people, have entered into a pestilent factional quarrel among themselves, Gen. Curtis, perhaps not by choice, being head of one factions, and Governor Gamble thateak it up somehow, and as I could not remove Governor Gamble I had to remove Gen. Curtis. Now that you are in the position, I wish you to undo nothing merely because Gen. Curtis or Governor Gamble did it; but to exercise your own judgment, and do right for the public interest. Let your military measures be strong enough to rep
