[JS/ew Orleans Picayune. ANOTHER OLD CITIZEN GONE.-It is our unpleas? ant task to report the death of another well known, us af ul and highly respected citizen.

[Columbus Enquirer. Our Washington Letter. [SPECIAL CORBESPONDENCE OF THE DAILY NEWS.] THE AKHY VEN TUBING TO ESTABLISH A GOVERN? MENTAL ESPIONAGE. WASHINGTON, February 2.-An informal Congress of noted Fedoral Generals Beems to bo gathering hero. Half a dozen are in the city ; SHEBIDAN is expected, and SHERMAN is telegraphed to arrive about tho middle of tho coming week. It ie pretty definitely ascertained that this convention of mili? tary leadors is, with secret reference, to waiting upon the President with the delicate proposition that he take unto himself other advisers than those who now surround him, and that the policy of the Administration be promulgated in future more as the matured conclusions of these men than as tho result of the one individual judgment of tho Ex? ecutive. It is probable that this proposition is conceived without guile, and in a spirit more or less kindly. It is not proposed, as I understand it, that any portion of these councils shall apply to the re-formation of tho Cabinet, but morely as a recommendation that the President select, from among the great minds of the Capitol, which have pronounced more or loss favorably upon his course as President, and invite them to informal considerations of the duties that attach to thc Executive during all of the emergencies that are thrust upon it by Congress, and that the decisions of those conclaves shall go forth to tho country with tho popular understanding that they emanate at the direct instance of well known political sages, and may be warred upon, not as Mr. Johnson's policy alone, but as the deliberate action of well-known political seers. The military gen? tlemen who pr.pose undertaking this very deli? cate and not over-thankful mission are intrepid enough, farther, to intend presenting a hst of present day statesmen whom, m their estimation, would greatly strengthen the mandates and ac? tion of the Executive by simply acceptinghis con fidance, and proffering their advice. Whatever may be tne complexion of this nominated list of Presidential guardians, it at least has the promis? ing attribute of leading off with the name of Sen? ator Reverdy Johnson. Practically, the whole matter resolves itself into inviting tho President to hand over the Administration to some three or four eminent politicians, lind thus, it is claimed, escape the undivided censure ot the Kadi cals in and out of Congress. These redoubtable Generals are but sorry judges of human nature, if they do not know that they havo undertaken tho most* j hopeless and thankless job tbat. could havo well been devised. But then ?ho army must have.a hand and a voice in civic affairs, if only from the precedents that have come down to us from all countries involved in governmental distress and legislative iniquity. Congress has pavod the way for such an assumption upon tho part of the army Wff remodelling the government of the country upon the despotic system of centralization. If the nodding of plumes and rattle of scabbards should hereafter disturb the business and decorum of the Senate and Representative Chambers, consequent apon the visitation of a delegation of chieftains desirous of suggesting legislative reforms, let neither of those bodies venture to complain. WHERE CONGRESS BINDS ITSELF. There ia no very flatterig prospects opened be? fore Congress, either in the contemplation of thc past or tue demands of the future. The retro? spective view offerB nothing but a beggarly ac? count of unimportant measures, and the uiifnlini? ment of any plan of reconstruction, even from the Radical Btand-point. The future is confined to twenty-three days from this date, and into which crowds pleas for imperative action upon a hundred bills necessary to the commercial interests of tho country/-Y say twenty-three days, from the fact that after the 23d instant there are only nine days elapsing to tho end of theJKt?h Congress, and the President may therefore jacket'' any Bill that ho deems inex -edieut, aud Bo-wtevent its becoming a Law. There is no possible chance for this Congress to go out in a blaze of even Radical glorification, and the retiring members who aro to know'these halls no longer after the 1th of Marchare depress - ad and out of temper in consequence. Unanimity there is nono, save in the way bf p. tty malice such is leads the House to cut orr the'salary of Minister Harvey in Portugal because the latter endorses the President. On great leading questions cl restora? tion, the majority of either body are without any ?oncord of action, and lapsing into moro violent livorgence of opinion every day, and would con- | anne to do so should tho'country be able to sur rive the calamity of their sitting a thousand years n judgment upon the same subject. | jj GENEBAL GRANT'S HEAD IN DANGEB.! Bingham, Radical' member from Ohio, and con? stant with Thad. Stevens for. the leadership of he House, has at last shocked that body with tho I j dea that they were blindly conniving, through the nstrumentahty of Stevens and Benj. F. Butler, 0 wards the impeachment of tho President. It rill be remembered that the resolution authoriz- I .; ng investigation into the matter and propriety of tnpeachment, refrained from specifying more di - 1 cutely as to whom the inquisition was to be direct id against, than the mere direction to inquire " if. j ho conduct of any oihcerH of the Government.'' j cc. Bingham, with rare cunning, has charged ] hat Butler and Stevens, who hale Grant to the oat degree, are here attempting to pr?vido for his < mpeachment, undor tho guise of a simple move- \ aent against the President. Tho Western mern- 1 leis are quito'aghast at the base thought of such j . tliing. and are recoiling from the whole affair, as f it were already irrevocably freighted with the tetrayal of tho General. Meantime, Bingham ha H tarted this phaso of tho impeachment movement j, ipon a course of publicity throughout tho West, j i ty securing this version of tho co asp.racy in tho il, ?int of his own State newspapers. The conso- j -> [nonce is that he has the western delegations poking about him, and the whole organization of ds side of the House so disrupted, that he has but I j o command the slaughter of old Thad's policy ami tia killed in a twinkling, whether in tho simili ude of Reconstruction Enabling Acts or private I ,.

Balls, parties and receptions aro still tho oidor j if nocturnal pastimes of the Washington upper \ ] endom. The dresses aro richer, the crowds ;reator, and tho general heat and discomfort ol' heso distingue affairs, surpasses anything hitherto mown in the annals of tho Capital. Tho liv.m nonde is agitated and voluble over two tit-bits of ,'ossip and scandal, viz : That tho belle of the city s about to marry a withered old roue of one of the eeident legations, and that a sister beauty was ?aught, but a night or two sine o, in tho act of iloping with a handsome tenor from one of tho (jading opera troupes. Also, oh dil, that Senator ( .nd Mrs. Sumner are assorting the strength of i heir respective tempers upon the. discussion of < ladam's intimacy ana penchant for certain hand- \ onie foreigners of tho respective legations. i VTDEX, \ J Historian Bancroft Taken to Tasii. The little brochure entitled "Swinging Around ] ho Circlo," which has just boon published, wit- j ily represents Secretary Seward, under tho sobriquet of "the man who runs tho machine," is saying that he told Noah Webster that his ])ic iooary of tho English language was a work of su- I j jererogation in view of the voluminous dispatches | j >f tho verbose prime minister. Tho remark op? ines equally, well to thc ninth volume of Mr. Ban ?roft's "History of the United States," since all the natter that was omitted in tho oight preceding volumes, was supp:sed to have been injected into ;he historian's misnamed "Eulogy of Abraham Lin? coln." latterly known as the late lamented Lincoln, 3 narfcyr President, &c. It seams, however, that Pro- , fessor George Washington Greene, of Providence, Rhode Island, hos diBcoveiod in this ninth vol* , une sundry unwarrantable reflections upon his ? jrandfather, General Nathaniel Greene, of Revo- , .utionary famo, and has taken Mr. Bancroft to j ;ask for iris misstatements. This is not tho mere ; juteropping of an ancestral pride on tho part of j Professor Greene, for he fortifies all his positions i>y citations from original documents to which he las had access, and which Mrr Bancroft might lave inspected had he possessed the true snirif i )f a historian. The Professor justly complains * :hat the historian, by misstatements, misquota? tions and misinterpretations has striven to cast , )bloquy upon the name pf General Greene, whom ivory reader of American history knows to have j jeen Washington's chief counsellor, and the mari vhom the Fother of his Country had selected for j lis successor in command of the Colonial forces in ?ase of hi6 own dalh. The too of General ?-reeno, ic ia true, is not likely io suffer at the j lands of Mr. George- Banoroft or my other Ban- j roft, nor is it a matter of interest tn the general j mblic what opinion Mr, George Bancroft may hold if him; but it is a matter of interest to know j whether these nine volumes of American history ^ ?ontain accurate statements of the occurrences , rhich they claim to record. If the author is ? erong in what ho says of General Greene, why . nay he not be wrong in other particulars equally , f ?ot more important ? And the moment doubt is :ast upon this pretending work, who ia to estiib- ? ish its credibility ? Thia ia a matter of serious , Qoment. It has been claimed all along that tho tahdard history of the United States was that j ompiled by Mr. George Bancroft, and, though ^ housands have laughed a-c its sophomorical style, J he impression has prevailed that its historical ac- ? iuracy could not be impeached; yet here js a point ipon which its accuracy is n jt onlvimpeached, Lut J lisprovcn. Fatsus in w>o,.falsiis in omnibus, is a overo rule of criticism, but may it not be applied ( n this case ? , Tho merits of thc case of Greene cs. Bancroft re do not now propose to examine, but prefer to , ?resent the general question of tho accuracy of lr. Bancroft's "History of the United States" for lonsideration. As an orator, wo know Mi-. Bau roft to be, like Captain Cuttle's watch, "equalled j >y few and excelled by none;" but ho eaiimr lay Iaim to such high encomium as a liistorian until } io purges himself of tho contempt in which ho ? ias been placed by Professor Groono, in a little lamphlot of less than ninety pages.-N.

DREADFUL TRAGEDY IN NEW OR? LEANS. Our New Orleans exchanges of Thursday give ?ho following particulars of the tragedy which oc? curred in that city on laBt "Wednesday evening. From the Times we take tho following account of the difficulty : One of the most tragic events that haB occurred in New Orleans for many a day, startled the habi? tues of the rotunda of tho St. Charles Hot: ! last evening-one man being instantly killed, and an? other seriously, perhaps mortally wounded, and both meir of considerable mark in their respective spheres of life. Theaflair took placo abo it a quarter before 8 o'clock, and the preceding circum .tances, as re? lated by eye-witnesses and friends of the parties, were as follows : Some timo ago a gambler by the name of Brantloy forged a check for $3000 upon a well-known mercantile house of thi?. city, io the members of which firm Mr. J. J. Bryant, keeper of the extensive gambling saloon over the Jackson saloon, on St. Charles street, between Canal and Common streets, felt under deep obligations for their k.ndnesses shown his mon. Bryant became engaged in a dispute with Judge Fred. Tate, ol' LaGrango, Texas, a well-known criminal lawyer cf tho Lone Star State, whom he accused of com? plicity in the swindle. The quarrel appears to havo lasted some time, Bryant, who was naturally of a hot temper, becoming very violent, and call? ing Tato (it is said) a thief, swindler and coward. - Tate acted quite calmly, told Bryant that he had 11 been drinking, and endeavored to avoid a di?3- [ j oulty. It appears that by the intervention of Irionde, riCr. Bryant was taken to one side, after having Baid that the clerks of the hotel knew him ( t^to) to be a scoundrel. Tate entered tho office, und asked one of tho gentlemen which of the number it was who had spoken disparagingly of him, and | ] ns he could not, by this inquiry ascertain, he was advised to ask of Colonel Bryant tho name of tho party. Leaving tho office of the hotel, Judge Tate ad- . varacod to whore Bryant was standing, with seve- '1 ral gentlemen, noar the centre of the rotunda, and isked him tho question, in a conciliatorv tone of . voice. Colonel Bryant pushed him violently away, ] ?ithor catching him hy the collar or tho throat m 3 doing so. And hore the versions of the difficulty are-at j variance. Some parties assert that at the moment j nf pushing, Colonel Bryant drow his knife; others j that he did not draw it until Judge Tate roached behind him for his pistol. Judge Tate himself . 3ays that Bryant lunged at him with the knifo j nt the moment of pushing, but is not certain whether thc blow reached him; that the moment lie (Tato) saw tho knife ho drew his pistol and began to fire. \ However, in lesa timc> than is taken to record it, 1 three shots were fired into Bryant's nody, one passing through the heart, one entering the right cheek and passing through tho head, and tho 1 third finding lodgment wo did not exactly loarn j where. Bryant fell dead instantly, clutching with ix death grip the T shaped dagger with which he bad inflicted a serious stab in tho right side of his apponont. The body of Colonel Bryant remained on tha j marble floor, a gory spectacle, for a considerable 1 time, an object of curiosity to an eager throng. < One friend of Judge Tate's, however, by main 1 force, prevented the weapon being taken from the 1 hand of tho corpse, or tho body in any other way j seriously disturbed, uutil the police"arrived and ] took charge of it. The remains were finally placed on a settee, and carried by the police and two wait- J arsofthe hotel to a house on Gravier street, be- J tween Basin and Franklin. + ] Mr. J. J. Bryant waa about sixty-five years of 1 &ge, but had the appearance of being much 1 vounger. He passed several years in Son Fran- 1 siseo, and is said to havo spent between fifty and < a hundred thousand dollars at an election for < Mayor held in that city, in which he was a candi- 1 late. Mr. Bryant leaves a wife, son and two 1 laughters. One of tho latter we hear was recently 1 married. His son was at ene tune employed at ! bhe house of Given, Watts & Co., merchants of < this city. 1 A romantic fcaturo in the career of the son, is 1 ':ne fact that in early life he ran away from home, I md waa, ofter tour years' absence, discovered by ? iiis father in the Life Guards of Her Majesiy if Great Britain, and on duty at Buckingham Palace. From hore Mr. Bryant brought tho youth to \ S'ew Orleans, and placed him with the mercantile louse before named. y A few years previous to the war Mr. Bryant < fitted up a magnificent suite of club rooms; in the buildings between Lopez's confectionery and D. 3. Holmes'dry goods establishment. Th .-.so fail- j i J to prove a success; but Mr. B. promptly paid j for tao superb decorations, although the loss J xmountedto fplly $80,000. As before stated, ho ' lias been located in the rooms over tho Jackson 1 saloon for more than a year post. 1 The brother of Mr. Bryant is a wealthy planter J if Alabama. Notwithstanding the profession of ] ?Ir. B., ho leavos many worm frieras, whom his ' leeds of geuerosity and genial temperament havo ! gathered round him. During the war much of ' iis time was spent in Richmond and Mobile, and : ?cre also he will be most kindly remembered. It 1 is believed Mr. Bryant has in his time spent over j lalf a million of money. After three shots hod been fired by Mr. Tate, * Special Officer Petrie, of tho hotel, succeeded in c laking away the weapon, and the wounded man ( ff as cen ducted'up stairs to his room. It was then ( buud that he waa bleeding profusely, and medical J issistance was at once.sent for. -Neither Br. Chop- 1 pin nor Br. Stono could be found, but Dr. JolinD. Foster, who had been sent for, at last appeared ind examined tho wound. It was found to be a c straight thrust, but as tho patient was weakening c -apiary from loss of blood, and the hemorrhage > lad ceased, it was considered host not to probe t ;ho wouud. It was hot positively decided whether t ;be lung had been penetrated, and consequently i low dangerous tho vround is wo aro unable to 'J iav. i Judge Tato oxpressed deep regret upon leam- 1 ng that Bryant had expired, and sloted that he t mot only in self-dofonco; that he respected tho de- G ?cased os a man very much. He has a family in s LaGrange, Texas. I The Coroner was sent for, and an inquest will t lie held to-day. The evidence may elicit further 1 facts in connection with this lamentable occur- 1 renee. In less than half au hour after this tragic oc mrrence, the rotunda presontcd its ordinary busy ?ppoarance. Ono individual was having a com- 1 ?ortablo snooze in a corner by tho door. VVhether J tie had consigned himself to the embraces of tb.9 * joothing god after witnessing the fray, or had " slept through it undisturbed, was not apparent. I (Ve did not care to wako him up and inquire Tho 8 lsual groups were gathered round the stoves, ? quietly discussing the planting interest:', the state j )f the cotton market, or the constitutional amend- f nont. Boarders just from the supper room were j iiiietlv picking their teeth, or puffing away at t ?heir Havanas, as they lolled against their favorite t lillar?, or reclined at ease in cosy arm-chairs, 8 ivith their heels about a foot above their heads. 1 Fresh arrivals wero inscribing their names on tho look, or waiting impatiently for the number of meir apartments; departing guests, with travolling lags, &c., slung about thom, were nettling thoir , ittlc bills j Col. Boyd and his staff of clerks were E calmly going tlirougk tho usual office routine, and ? ;ho porters were tmidling luggage to aud fro as ? mough nothing unusual had occurred. But for ? ibo excited group of children, who were peering mrough tho railings at tho top of tho rotunda, *' md tuc business-like air of tho newspaper report- s sm, who were gliding among the crowd, no one ivould havo suspected thal, anything extraordinary * .inri taken place-much loss that a fellow-crcatur'o tiad just been hurried to his last account with all \ his imperfections on his head, whilst another had reeeivod ? dangerous, perhaps mortal injury. But . inch is fife. LATER.-At 11.15 o'clock last night we called to 1 jee Judge Tate, at his room in the hotel, and found i polico guard at tho door. The condition of tho wounded man wo found much improvod, the knife, it having been decided, not penetrating tho lung. Vir. T. thinks he will be able to leave Ina bed ra P ;hreo or four days. ? CASTLE THUNDEn.-Tho Bichmond (Va.)

How Mrs. VIOTOBIA GUELPH (BS her Britannic Majesty used to he very irreverently styled in the columns of the United Irisjiman) came by her sur? name, may not be known to all our reade. s.> Prom an old History of Germany, loaned us.by a friend, we cxtraofitho following legend in regard to the origin of this dynastic tifcl? : The family of the GuBLPHs'can be'fenced so far back as the reign of CHARLEMAGNE. About the year 800, there was a Count of ALTOBF, in Suabia, whoso descendants, according to an old legend, obtained tha name of GUELPH in tho following manner : IBENBRAXD, his . son and successor, saw once an old woman who had three children at a birth, and, thinking this unnatural, he called her an adulteress. The old woman, in angor at this in? sult, prayed Heaven that IBHENTBAUT, wife of the Count, might have as many children at a birth as there are months .in. the .year. . Her prayer was answered, and LBMENTBAUT- was . delivered -of. twelve boys; but, fearingthe severity of her hus? band's character, she commanded her servant to drown eleven of them. Whilst tho latter was pro? ceeding to obey her mistress' orders, the Count tuet her and asked her what was in the basket she was carrying. Tho girl, frightened, answered that they were guelpl? (puppies). But tho Count, not being satisfied with the reply, took on" the cloth Erom the basket, and judging that tho children were his own, from their liveliness and strength!, ae preserved their lives, educated them secretly!, md when they were grown up took them all again JO their mother. One of'the twelve, GUELPH th? First, was the successor of .ISENBBAND.

According'to the Boston report )f his speeoh, now before ; usv^he pronounced jrant to be ''unfit to hold his office," and declared hat it was Grant and not Johnson who "occupied he most humiliating position oh' this Continent." Ct now s corns that Gen. Butler, who took up Wen lell Phillips' idea of impeachment; agroeoVSvith lim both in regard to Grant and Johnson. '.Hitt? er's original draft of the impeachment resolution, nTered in Congress by Mr, Ashley, included Many juicer of the Government,? along with the PreBi lent, and aimed at tho trial of Gen. Grant as well is President Johnson. Wendell Phillip.,' charge igainst Grant was that it was he who was respon? sible for the bloodshed and persecution in the streets of Memphis and NeW Orleans, and besides his special charge^ho. wasi a general accomplice if the President We sup?pBe Butler'o accusation igainst Grant would have been essentially, the jame; and he could have strengthened his case by lolding Grant resposible fdr Dutch Gap and Fort Fisher.-iv".

STEVENS AT HoME.j--The Pittsburg' (Pa.) da?y Commercial comments, upon Mr. STEVENS' fplan" of reconstruction ^n- the following--lan? guage, not very complimentary ^to . the great loader .V/, - *' . \ ? r'! ? ^ ?-V: ??: J : "Mr. Stevens has failed in his attempt at'recon itruction, and everybody is 'at sea' agam in regard ?o that great question. The'opinion is expressed hat the sending of the subject, to the B?cohstruc ;ion Committee puts the whole matter'over to the ?ext Congress. The strong; vote b# .-which the .cfer on co was made would seem to . indioato not inly fatal disfavor towards Mr. Stevena'plan, but he spirit of moderation-upt'to say.hoBitation-as; I o the line of policy to be "pursued." Th? key for ' lolving tue question, it eocms, has yet to bo found, ff litt che Beconstruction Committee will do-is al ogethor uncertain. Mr. Stevens is said to have ess faith in the committee than formerly, which ncans, we suppose, th at thc committee docs not hink as he does. The llepublicans, for thou,* own iakes, should not think of adjournrar without loing something. It might not make much difi'cr incewith the country if tho question should go iver to tho next Congress. It would, howevor, be k confession that tho present ono was unequal to he task." SHIP BUILDING.-It is asserted that at thopres mt tone there is not a sinelc new merchant ship ir steamer building at any of the numerous ship rarda of New York, Brooklyn or Jersey City, and mt few in all tho yards of the country; and fur? ber, that there is no prospect of any being built inti! tho present condition of affairs is altered, thousands of workmen connected with ship-build ng are now out of employment, and are likely to >o for the present Oho cause assigned for this is he high rate of taxation upon materials used in hip building. But that can hardly bo the cause Jtogether, os tho business is quite as dull iu Eng? a?o as in this country, aud in one ship build ug hstrlct in London fifteen thousand mechanics lave been out of work for montas, and the fann? ies of many of them aro now paupers. Tho Court-Newsman'gives an account of the nanncr in which the Queen and royiil family, at Osborne House, kept Christmas.

SEBIOUB CHARGE AGAINST CONGBESS.-The Cin innati Commercial, a Radical journal (on tho ne TO question), opeiiB acolumbiad article upon Con? gress with tho following paragraph : Congress listens to the lobby on the tariff ques ion, and does not hoar tho country. Tho noise nade in the saloons of the Capitol by^ the hired gents of manufacturers who' desire competition o bo crushed by kuy, ia reirardod with profound .ttention; ' but the voice of the people who are at ; lome attending tb their business, and do not give hampagne suppers, ia not heeded. AN English paper says : "Nearly a third of the aeat now sent to London is brought in tho form f dead meat, and the quantity is increasing very, sst Wo are now importing nearly 1,000,000 sheep ,nd lambs from tho continent in tho vear, and learly 200.000 cattle; and the largest proportion of his live stock and doad.meat ia brought to Lon-' lon by railways." -? t > . IRISH SUPERSTITION.-Thc remains of Dr. Cant? rell, for many 'years Bomau .Catholic Bishop of toathi were interred in tho chapel of Mullingar, ireland, on the 14th ultimo, with all the ceremony isual on such occasions. A grave was excavated rithin the WIVIIB ot tho chapel, and some women, rho had implicit faith in trio miraculous power of he clay thrown up in tho making of the grave, ook homo portions of it, boiled it, and confidingly Irarik it as an infalliblo rcceipe for the ailments by yhich they were afflicted. - ? ? ? A young lady has kindly furnished the Detroit Crlbune with a recipe, which she has tried and nows to bo effective, that will keep feet warm, ,nd we give it, without , however, recommending its general usc. She says : "I am troubled with cold cot, but I manage to keep warm by lying in bcd very morning until after my mother has built n busing fire and prepared breakfast. 1 then get ip, place my feet on tho front of tho stove, oat my norning meal, road the news, and after warming omc flannels and wrapping them about ray 'poor bet,' return to bed, whero I remain until nearly loon. I repeat this every twentv-four hours, and Ind it very comfortable. I think I shall survive." MARRIAGE.-JEREM? TAYLOR says of marriage : Marriage is the mother of tho world, and prc exvea kintrdoms, and fills cities.^ and churches, ndHoavcn itself. Celibacy, like Ihe'fty "in the leart of an apple, dwells in ? perpetual sweetness, mt sits alone, and ia confined and dies in singu? larity; but marriage, like the usotul bee, builds a' louse, and gathers sweetness from every Hover, nd labora and unites into societies and rep?blica, nd senda out arr i ia, and leeds the world with elicacies, and keeps order, and promoter tho in erost of mankind, and is that state of trood things o which God hath designed the present conatitu ion of the world.

The Son Francisco Bullet;n says that the reports from the district assessors, as tar as received/ in? dicate a taxable wealth in tho State o? more than $192.000.000-an increase upon the returns of 1865 of nearly $10,000,000. The tocal increase of State property values" in 1865 was only $3,678,805. An increase of $20,410,817 wa? reported for 1864, hut the returns were meagre and incorrect; twenty-two counties which had sustained great losses, making no returns at all; so that the statement has no value for tho purposes of comparison. Lr 1863 there was a decrease of $10,530,077, resulting from the drought mainly; and it ?B improbable that this Loss had been recovered and $20,000,000 added in one year.
