The following items are from the Washington Star: All the late rumors about the disposition of the Government to enter into an armistice with those making war upon the United States, are entirely untrue.

Astor has tendered to the United States as an outright contribution to the cause of the Union, a donation of four millions of dollars, and ten millions more as a loan. His fortune enables him to do so, it will be remembered. We learn that the charge against Mr. William Thompson, late of the Ordnance Department, of having been a party to the treachery of filling bombs with sand, has been carefully investigated by the officers in charge, and that nothing whatever has been discovered tendi

The following card from Mr. Vallandigham, April 18, appears in the Cincinnati Enquirer: I have a word for the Republican press and partizans of Cincinnati and other places abroad, who now daily falsify and misrepresent me and matters which concern me here in Dayton. My position in regard to civil war, which the Lincoln Administration has inaugurated, was long since taken, is well known, and will be adhered to to the end. Let that be understood. I have added nothing to it, subtracted nothing from it, said nothing about it publi

This tumultuous rage is a great thing in its way. As for New York, now, they must have a "sensation;" they cannot exist without a sensation; but these sensations all pass away soon, except the sensation of hunger.

The Baltimore Sun, of Tuesday, says: The late excitement in the city has almost entirely subsided, and matters are as dull as before the events of the 19th of April.

Everything is dull, and the wharves present an almost desolate prospect. A proclamation from Gov.
