LETTER FROM WASHINGTON Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch THE FIGHT BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND RADICALS GOING ON- SENATOR DOOLITTLE'S POSITION- THE FREEDMEN'S BUREAU COME TO GRIEF- GENERAL SICKLES- POST-OFFICE APPOINTMENTS, ETC. Washington, May 13. The Radicals have had a new vigor infused into them by the solid adoption of their pet plan of reconstruction and by the persistent determination of their leaders in Congress to hamper the President in every possible way. There is now no talk about reconciliation. Even those who held firmly to such future consummation have given up the idea, and the game now is by combined legislation to make the Executive yield, which some predict he will do. That they reckon without sense is very plain to be seen, as no act of the President has given evidence of the slightest intention that way. The position of Senator Doolittle, which does not waver one iota in defence of principles of the Administration, is a source of groat annoyance to the enemies of the President. Doolittle is regarded as the most able debater in the Senate, and there is no fear of a want of his influence in combatting the dangerous principles now daily enunciated until four years have passed by, unless a predicted early vacancy in the office of Secretary of the Interior should be tendered him. Of this, however, there are doubts, as it is necessary, under the present circumstances, that all tinfriends of the President in Congress should hold fast to their positions until after the fall elections. The Freodmcn's Bureau will not gain any laurels from the report of Geuerals Steed man and Fullerton with regard to its atliiirs in Virginia and North Carolina. The last-named officer has always been regarded as of the radical school of politics; and his view of the management of the institution with which he has been connected ns one of the agents, in opposition to the extravagant stories of anonymous letter-writers in the South, are not relished by the busybodies who are so persistently engaged in slandering the people und State officials in the South. There is considerable doubt as to whether General Sickles will accept the position of Minister to the Hague, the ap]?ointmcnt of which lias been confirmed. The Committee on Foreign Affairs had laid the matter on the table at one time, and not until the statement had gone forth that it would be declined, was the confirmation had. There has been nothing official of an important character which has transpired within the past few days, but there aire indications of interesting Executive proceeding* during the coming week. There are several thousand postmasters ? probably between fifteen and twenty thousand ? with salaries ranging from eight hundred to two thousand dollars, whose appointments do not require confirmation by the Senate. The great majority of those now in office are thought to be inimical to the President's policy, and I learn from an authentic source that all holding these radical views will be removed, and conservative men appointed in their stead. Timon.

The Great Defeat op tiik Rebels is ; Ciiina. ? The following is ii fuller account of the defeat of the rebels in China, l?rit*4ly reported a few days ago: "The* successes of the Imperialists in ? _lUtJ northeast of Kwang Tung, which were recorded recently, have taken the shape of a more complete victory even than we anticipated. The entire body of rebels, under the lead of the Kang Wang, numbering some litty thousand, and forming the last residuum of the Taipings, have been either slaughtered or taken prisoners. About twenty thousand perished in a conflict lasting two entire days ? the *th and 1Mb ultimo ? and the remainder have surrendered themselves to the Imperial commanders. The latter have already commenced the work of disbanding their troops, while the civil authorities are busy with arrangements for dispersing t he prisoners with whom, to the number of upwards of thirty thousand, they find themselves burdened. The victorious general. ! P'ao Ch'ao, has already left for llarkow, where he is to take the field against the j Nien Fei. This success ? wiping out the last trace of the Taiping rebellion ? will no doubt be peculiarly gratifying to the Pekin Government." Interesting to Gas Considers ? A New Invention* Tested. ? In the experiments | which we ww, two five-foot pipes were j used, with burners of equal size ? the gas ! for one pipe passing through the "carbonizer," and that for the other being burned as it came from the metre. The I difference was very striking indeed. The j flame produced by the former was quad, j ruple the volume and brilliancy of that produced by the latter, while the quantity | of gas consumed was less than half, as in- ! dicated by a test metre which marked the : fractions of a foot. In two minutes the burners attached to the " carbon izcr " consumed six feet, while the consumption by the others in the same time was twelve and a half feet. It is claimed by the inventors that the use of this new earbonizer and economizer will obviate the difficulties heretofore resulting from the use of a poor or impure article of ga?, as well as effect a very material saving.? Buffalo (X. T.) Advertiser. A Neubo Witness. ? The Indianapolis lhrald says a case under the Civil Rights bill has recently been tried in Gibson county. The testimony of a negro was admitted in evidence. We give an extract from the testimony of the colored witness, and submit that it is a rare exhibition of intelligence for a witness. By the Court. ? "Were you born in the United States ?" Witness. ? " No, sail." By the Court. ? "Were you born in Ameriea V ' Witness. ? "No, sab." Bv the Court. ? "Where were you born ?" ? " *n Anderson, Kentucky, ; l*.00 examination the prosecutor withdrew the objections to the competency ot the witness, and the darkey Was exaiuiucd on the part of the defence. Accident to a Virginia Lady.? On Friday, a young lady named Kovston, from Petersburg, Va., a pupil iu Notre Dame Convent, on Central avenue, met with a serious accident by falling from a swing, breaking her left thigh. The accident occurred on the grounds of the Orphan Asylum, on North Central avenne. Dr. Doyle was called in, who set the broken limb. ? Baltimore Sun , 14M. Mr. George Peabodt and t he Income Tax. ? It is stated that Mr. George Peabody, who is now stopping with his friends in Essex county, Massachusetts, has been j notified to make a return of his Hifome tax since September, 1862, for the purpose of taxation under the revenue laws of the United States. A resident of Memphis ha* sued the Avahuickn for libel in saying that he had been a rebel. The damages are laid at fifty thousand dollars. Dr. Charles Pendleton Tutt, an eminent physician of Philadelphia, ana formerly of Virginia, died last weak.
