Washington, Aug. 30.-There are no war-like reports from Virginia to day. New York Daily NIews in Reply to the Isdictme';t.-On the morning after the day the News and other New York papers were indicted, it came out with the following manly and straightforward replication: Strenuously, consistantly and un swervingly, the Daily News has maintained, since the bombardment of Fort Sumter, an event for which the Amdinistration of President Lin coln is wholly and solely responsi ble 1. That the civil war in which the country is involved is iniquitous, uncalled for, and destructive of the property of the Republic, and that it had grown out of a wicked and dema gogical catering to Abolition fanati cism on the part of the authorities at Washington, which cannot be too severely reprobated. 2. That every drop of blood that has been shed in the present contest has been a calamity and that every litfe that has been lost has been a murder, which might have been avoid ed, had patriotism and moderation prevailed in Federal councils. 3. That the increase of our army; the expenditure of money without perhmission of Congress; the block ade of Southern ports; the procla nation of martial law ; the suspen sion of the writ of habeas corpus; the invasion of sovereign States without summnouns from their Execu tives or Legislatures; the overthrow ot the authority of local courts ; and the abrogation of our military and naval laws, have been utterly uncon stitutional acts, coummitted in defiance and violation of the oath of office of the Chief Magistrate of the land, and for which he ought to be impeached :tdtl deposed. 4. That it would be far better to perumit the discontented portion of the United States to depart in peace, and more in confornnity with the views anld intentions of the original framers of the constitution to suffer the Republic to be divided into two Confederacies, than to ar'ray the dif ferent sections against each other in internecine strife, and to blast the future prosperity of the whole Union, by an expensive, unprofitable and bloody war, which must inevitably end in leaving sectional issues, as unsettled as they were before it be gan. 5. That the grievances of which the Southern States have complained have been, mainly, well founded, and that the compromise plans suggested by Senator Crittenden and Bigler in the Thirty-sixth Congress, and by other conservative representatives of the people in the extra session of the present Congress, ought to have been adopted. 6. That the acknowledgment by the Federal Government of the right of slave owners to convey and hold their property in the common Terri tories, would have been pre-eminent ly just, and that the Confederate States will do wisely to insist upon a constitutional right to self-evident, at all times, and under all cire citan ces. 7. That civil war is to bej4ulti vated. 3.. That the pecuniary pofligacy of the Administration of President Lincoln is utterly condemnable, and that the system of wholesale'specu lation and plunder which has charac terized the different branches of the Government, since the fourth of March, has no parallel in the history of our country. 9. That we are firmly and ear nestly convinced that the mass of the people are hostile to the usurpa tions of the last six months, and be lieve they must, if continued, end in anarchy or a military despotism. These have been the constantly reiterated views of the Daily News for several months past, and if they render our paper worthy of. indict ment, we have only to say that we covet no better fate. The New UI. S. Gunboats. The New York Evening Post, )f the 16th inst., says : The first of the twenty-three gtn. boats now building for the Govern ment in this city and vicinity, Phil adelphia, Boston and other points, will be launched at the ship yard of Mr. John Englis, to-morrow after noon. The next, which is in nea*tj an equal state of forwardness, will pro bably be launched next weet at Wea tervelt's yard. These two vessels, according to the contract, were to be ready in six ty days from the 27th of June, but have been rapidly pushed forward, and will be launched before the ex piration of that period. The machine ry will be completed in thirty days thereafter, and the vessels will proba bly have on board their armaments by the last of September. Four others, building at Brooklyn, Wil liamsburgh, and Greenpoint, havt fifteen days additional time, and will be completed accordingly. Though nominally gun boats, the size, strength and armament of these vessels place them- among first class s}hips of war. They are to be of equal dimen sions, and as nearly similar as it is possible to make them. The extreme length is one hundred and sixty-six feet, the width twenty-eight feet, and the depth of hold twelve feet. The timber is mostly of white oak, and the knees, braces and fastenings are of the strongest and completest description. The. draught of water, it is calculated, will be about nine feet. The armament will consist of twelve 32, pounders, 'it * a pivot gun amidships-probably a Coltrs biad of the heaviest description. A small pivot gun maybe placed on the fore-castle deck. Reported Capture of the Sumter. The schooner Hannibal, that arrived at New York on the 19th, reported that she heard a rumor of the Suri ter being captured at Curacoa by a United States war steamer, probably the Keystone State. As the Heral' had a correspondence from St. Thomt- as, dated the 5th, which did not men tion such a circumstance, it regrets its inability to believe the report. [N. 0. Bee. Doings of the Blockaders of t'c Sabine.-The Galveston Civilian, oc the 20th inst., says: We learn that the schooner isabella has been captured off Sabine by- the blockading vessel. The Isabella was on her way to Berwick's Bay. She had several passengers, among themc Capt. John Smith and family, ,.[ this city. The pilot boat Purdy, of Sabinc. was chased into Calcasieu last week by one of the blockading vessels. 11er passengers, six in number, went up the river to the stage stand, but the stage being full oould. not take them.
