If Congress would direct it* legislation to the bringing down of all of the expense* of Ilie (internment, onie* lint in proportion to llie pnv of soldief*, it would be ar betlei for the latter than ni increase f pay in the present depreciated currency, and better for the country generally. All increase of (iovernment expenasa nd-'a to the depreciation of lire Cioveinmenl paper, nnd to the extent of such additional depre ciation, the advantage intended bv nn increase of pay is neutrnli/i d.

The former pay of members of Congress, we believe, uti three thousand dollars per annum. The near bill ju?t doubles this amount. The people cannot well complain of this moasuro, if, ns ulirg* ed, it requires this much to support mew. ^ bers while engaged in their duties at Ilich- I tnond. We cannot a?k men to labor fi r | us at their own expense. Hut in contrast with this action of Congress, it will not be out of place to refer to our State Legislature, the members of which, for the last two years or more, lines labored for the public, at the regular and extra torsions, at threu dollars per day, while they were pay jcg for the single item of board, from five fo fifteen dollars per day. We beliefs there |ha* Jiaver been a proposition in our .State /.rginlnture to it crease tlie pay of men.bers. "The salaries and feaa of all of our Htate /tfficera remain sa they wero before the war, and we have heard of no grumbling The pay of nieuibera of Congreaa under the new measure will be larger than that of heads of Drpsr'menis, w lw.se salaries ara fixed by tbe Constitution and who are required to live in Kichpiond the whole year round, while members of Congress can ba at home attending to their private affairs half of the /ear or wore. . A bill was lately passed requiring the Mecrelarf of the Treasury to reduce th^" circulating medium to two hur.dred millions after a certain lima; but how can this bo done under the pressure of ihcreased oxp< i.ditutes T fortress should not legislate u? into financial troubles and then maltha scape goat of poor Mr. Momntinge/T The galipot Cel.

He any a in Waaliington I nothing elao waa talked of but the new* I from Grani'a array. All the political cli i {iiea, oliice holder*, meinbora of Congreaa | discussed the propect of Grant's success | most nniiously, and it waa admitted on all i aides that the Presidential qneation hinged | on lha matter?that it would form the I great and exclusive topic in the coming i campaign ; that if Grant succeeded, (he Re I publican parly would wnlk over the couiee I and Lincoln would be sale for auother I term ; but if ho wua defeated, the Republi- i can party wquld be ruined ; the masses I would see the bopeleaanoao of the war ; a < desire for peace Woaltl spring up ; the peace i party would bo strengthened and Lincoln, i Seward, Chase 61 Co. would go by lh?# I board So it ia regarded in the North?a I political,'a* well aa a military, erisia. Grant i and Richmond ia ou<)e to mean Lincoln I and a' prolongation of lha war ; on on# de- i penjj* the other. If Grant fucceed*, I-ineolu succeed* ; If Grant ia bejUen, Lincoln ia beaten. Toe campaign ia Virginia, on Mia account, a # leaked upon in Waaliing ton with father more political Man military ' interest, and the politicians were paahiog I Mo administration to risk aver/Ming for Richmond,and A acird .Grqnl the last man. Pram what this informant saw and h?ud I in Washington, ho doos aot think Mat I Graat ia going to risk a battle for Rich- | mood Indeed bo aays Mat it waa *p?nly I advocated by the Republican Congressmen ?and bo Waa within ear-shot of Mem many | to got ns close to Richmond a* ho cnn without a fight, and invest the city and | move upon it alter the manner of VicksI burg. I Grunt's losses nro freely admitted in privale well.informed circles in Washington, to be seventy-five thousand in killed, wouni ded nnd missing. | There is p great deal of discontent in the North, but this informant thinks that nil depends upon the issue of the nest battie. There is a great deal of talk of "peac," ' peace men," "peace resolutions," but the question of the termination of the wnr hns resolved itself into this in the North . If vjrnni is neaien, the North will he forced to admit the hopelessness of taking Kichinond, and may prohnhly go in for slopping tho war.; but If Grant whips, the whole North will be united for the prosecution of the war and the crushing of the rebellion. It is n military ar.d political crsis in the North, and a serious reverse at this junc tore would irretrievably damage the nu thorities at Washington, and open (he way lor the peace party of the Nerlh ill the ebming Presidential campaign.
