made in the Evening Post in regard to his dining in the club room at the same table with General Scott, the day when he read that letter at the Cooper institute, he declared it to be a false statement of a private conversation made by Charles King, of Columbia College, the only man in the United States who ever assailed a dead woman--Mrs. General Jackson. He (Mr. Van Buren) was but a private in the ranks; but, if he had command of the army, and ever got to Richmond, he would say, "Gallant Greeley, advance! Forward, the black brigade! Penetrate to the heart of South Carolina, and stay there forever." He declared it as his opinion that if there should be an attempt to make this a war for the abolition of slavery, and to arm the brutal helots of the South, it would be the highest duty of European nations, as civilized and Christian nations, to interfere.

forms of civilization, to put down the rebellion and to restore the Union. It is not a war for emancipating negroes, nor for abolishing State rights, nor for exterminating or subjugating any portion of the American people, but it is a war for bringing enemies in arms under the authority of the Federal Government, and for the supremacy of the national au, thority, under the old flag and Constitution, over all the States of the Union--a State for every star and a star for every State. Greeley, in the Tribune, explains the cause of the disaster thus: Never was a great and patriotic party doomed to bear up against such a combination of adverse influences as those with which the Republicans and Union War Democrats struggled in our contest of yesterday. They were compelled to meet at the polls-- 1. Every partisan of slavery and sympathizer with the slaveholders' rebellion. 2. The great rum-selling interest, organized as a political power, and lavishing funds as wel

The reason the Tribune Wanted to let the seceding States go. --The Albany Argus recently charged that Greeley was willing to let the seceding States depart in peace because he knew that would prevent the United States ever becoming Democratic. The Tribune, in reply, demurs to this version, and says: How utterly false and dishonest the above is, our readers already know. We had no thought of this or that party, but of saving the country, by timely concession, from a worse calamity than the loss of the cotton States.

One Million one hundred thousand men! This was the number of men that the Allied Powers marched upon France, in 1815, when Napoleon had returned from Elba and resumed the imperial purple. This is the number of men that Seward and Lincoln are preparing to precipitate upon the Confederate States to "crush out" a little rebellion, which, in April, 1861, Greeley gave the Yankee army until the 4th of July of that year to wind up, by swinging Jeff Davis and his coadjutors from the "battlements of Richmond;" giving therein the first intimation that Richmond had any battlements, and closing with the elegant and characteristic expression. "We spit upon a longer period," It dizzies the eyes and makes the head swim to read the figures that express this enormous array. The very sight of them is enough to convince any man of the stupendous wickedness of pretending to regard a war of such gigantic proportions as "a rebellion" and to treat it as such.--No war of modern times — not even that

, procured by men in hospital and elsewhere from their company officers, and forwarded to their paymasters. The Republican party breaking up. A Washington telegram, of the 16th, in the New York Herald, says: There is much caucusing and consultation by the Republicans in Committee of the Whole on the state of the party, upon the boat means of preserving their political organization from destruction. They talk of reorganizing the party, but in what manner does not yet appear. Greeley has been extremely busy. He is not organizing black brigades, as has been supposed, but reorganizing the Republican party. Some of the leading radicals who were in consultation with him last might shake their heads ominously, and declare that this in the darkest day the country has yet seen.--Prominent Republicans acknowledge that they have lost their hold upon power in all except some New England States. Some of them predict peace as early as next June. Requiem mass for the Fallen

in front of Vicksburg," The Louisville Journal is not so vivacious. "If we succeed," says that paper, "we shall then be able to push our fortunes in sober earnest, and to batter purpose." The Washington Press deals in hopeful incentive. Forney remarks, for examples that "we will soon put such a spider into Beauregard's dumpling at Charleston as that person never dreamed of before. It is fit that the end of the rebellion should be witnessed and experienced by the author of the beginning." Greeley thinks "success at Charleston would enable us to snap our fingers in the face of all Europe." Evidently the attack will be made with spirit Upon the God of the just and the strong arm of our commander do we rely for success and re-tender them to a fresh faith, the wholesome welcome we gave them nearly two years ago. To show how much the Charlestonians are affected by these threats, we give the following extract from a latter from that city: "Everything here looks gay and business like

olities seem to have combined to break down that State. Mr. Hicks said there was an honest difference of opinion between himself and colleague. His colleague thought the value of slave property was destroyed by the Republican party; he himself thought it was by the extreme men of the South. The debate was continued at length by Messrs. Davis, Powell, Richardson, Saulsbury, and others, against the bill. Greeley on the claims of the rebels — the war and the way to close it. Greeley thinks the only way to get peace is a vigorous prosecution of the war. He wishes peace were possible without further hostilities, but it is not. The pretence of the rebels that they only "ask to be let alone" is utterly false. He thus discourses: They ask impunity in trampling out what remains of life in loyal East Tennessee; they ask that West Virginia, which abhors them and was never under their away, be given up to military execution at their hands; they ask that Missouri, in whic

unreliable politician, who never possessed the sympathy or confidence of his party, and John Van Buren, the erratic Prince of the house of Kinderhook, whose irregular, free and easy habits of life and political inconsistencies have rendered him a burden and source of anxiety to any party, attended and took an active part in an Abolition war meeting held in the city of New York a few evening since. The Democracy in favor of this Abolition war!. A blacker falsehood was never uttered, even by Greeley himself, and in behalf of the men who are bravely breasting the storm of fanaticism which is driving the country to destruction, and of the glorious old party of the Constitution, whose traditions give the lie to the Tribune's assertion, we hurl back the foul slander into the teeth of its author. Whatever such shifting weathercocks as John Van Buren may say or do, the great Democratic heart beats true to the principles of constitutional liberty as taught by the fathers, which include t

iticism; or even denunciation. It concludes by asking if Vallandigham may not question the justice or propriety of Burnside's orders, may the Evening Post, or a thousand other journals, venture to hint a doubt of the superhuman military abilities of Geo. Halleck?--We know it may be said that his motives are base and treasonable, while those of the others are loyal; but tribunals and commission cannot inquire into motives. Deeds are terrible, but not thoughts. Speaking of Vallandigham, Greeley says his politics are as bad as bad can be, and if there were penalties for holding irrational, unpatriotic, and inhuman views with regard to political views, he would be one of the most flagrant offenders. He says "he agreed fully with Gen. Burnside that Vallandigham ought not to make such speeches as he does; that he ought to be ashamed of himself; but then he will make them and won't be ashamed — so what will you do about it?" "Send him to the Dry Tortugas," says the General, probably a
