TrsE LATEST WAR NEWS.

There has been battle between Floyd and
the forces Of Gen. ROsecrsns, On the Gauley
River; but the accounts thus far received are
so neager that it is quite uncertain what has
really been done. We have intelligence sufii-
cienty accurate, however, to show that the
National arms are still successful and to lead
us to hope that the rebel and traitor Floyd is
fairly eRtrapped. II appears that, on Friday,
Floyd opened FIRE from two points opposite
Ganley bridge, ana succeeded in sinking q
ferTy-boat, which, however, was raised again
during the came night. No one was
Killed on our side during his fire,
which was somewhat heavy though badly
directed, and few were wounded. He had cut
= road around q hill where Rosecrans was
encamped; the latter, returning his fire, soon
slenced two of his batteries, and was at the
latest accounts about sending force to attack
him in the rear, so that it was expected that
he would be entirely surrounded in very
short time. On Saturday there was no fight.
Jog; at that time the position of the forces on
both sides was as follows: The rebels held
possession OF the west bank Of New River;
Gco. Schencks brigade was few miles above
The Junction Of the Gauley and New Rivers:
Gen. Cox's brigade and Gen. Rosccrans were
near the junction, between the rivers. and
0ea. Benham was below the junction. II was
believed BY some that Gems. schsnck and
Bcnham would cross the river above and
below Floyd, who has 1000 men, and that
they would catch him. We look with interes,
Ger further intelligence.
We have no definite news yet from the great
Naval Expedition, further than that it wa,
spoAen on Wednesday morning. 1t is believed
that Il escaped the severe gale which ragged

A friend of one OF the Democratic tickets
stated yesterday that his party was bound to
succeed, as they had " fixed the Canvassers. +"
The only danger to be apprehended as to the
success Of the Peoples Union ticket is in this
quarter. If the people are vigilant and watch.

fully, ii will not be possible for corrupt and
vennl Canvassers to rob honest men Of their

SECRETARY CAMERON.

TIE Secretary Of War and the Secretary ol
the Treasury arrived in this city on Saturday
night, both on business connected with their
Departments. They timed their visit to the
journey of Gen. Scott, and made that the oc'
casion of demonstration of personal respect
to the veteran commander on his way to re-
tirement from his labors and his rank.
Mr.. Chase's visit was connected with the
interests Of the Financial Department over
which he so ably presides. Secretary Cameron
Inspected yesterday the Notifications which
guard our harbor. He will go to-day to West
Point, aud thence TO Springfield in Massachu-
setts 10 examine the United States Armory.
He will probably continue his journey to Bos'
ton to inspect the defcnses of that city against
attack from the sea.
Mr. CaInerons great labors in raising, equip
ing, and organizing the army with which the
rebellion is TO be crushed-the vigilance, Wis
dom, and practical ability with which he has
guarded the public interests while providing
for the sudden expansion Of the military power
of the nation from eighteen thousand men to
half n million, are at last recognized by the
country, and will coon be matter of history.
At the age of 63, and in the possession OF an
ample fortune acquired in business enterprises,
tie Secretary took charge of the War Depart
ment at time when its duties were more
burdensome than ever rested upon any
War Minister of France in the years OF her
greatest struggles, whether under the Republic
or under the Empire. The National impatience
has demanded impossibilities. When the mag
nitude of the contest we are engaged in has
been appreciated BY the people, and their de-
termination TO succeed has settled into on In
flexible moral principle, justice will be done to
Simon Camoron's administration Of bis enor-

TODAY.

ELECTORS OF NEw-YoRK! your State Elec'
ton be gins and ends TO-DAY.
We do not ask you to vote for the candl-
dates of any political party. The dark cloud
that now lowers over the country renders party
strife trivial and impertinent. What we do
ask YOU is to VOTE so AS TO INDICATE YOUR
FIRM RESOLVE TO LIVE AND DIE CITIZENS
OF THE UNITED STATES.
DO not say that this is super6uous. The
journals, the orators, the open avowals and
secret Vaccinations Of the Regency faction be-
tray fixed purpose to coax the traitors back
into the Union by concediDs whatever they
may please to exact. In other words: they
would buy present peace by treaty which
would encourage the defeated party in every
future election to raise the standard Of insurrec-
tion and disuniOn.
To our mind, no other conceivable result
can be 50 disastrous as this. 1t would degrade
our country at once to the level of the chronic
anarchies which have forever disgraced the
name of republic throughout Spanish America.
To be rent in twain by gigantic rebellion
would be sad fate for the Model Republic;
but it would be only misfortune, not debase-
ment. To succumb to traitors, and plant their
feet on the neck of the Nation would be
draining the cup Of baseness to the very dregs
Take any shape but that !" We want peace
but not peace that exalts traitors on the
downfall of patriots. We insist at all hazards
on the principle that what is lost by an cleo
ton is not to be regained by a rebellion.
The Union State ticket was nominated and
will be supported on the simple platform Of
STANDING BY TIE GOVERNMENT IN THE
UNITED STATES IN ITS PRESENT ARDUoUs
STRUGGLE WITH ARMED TREASON. To vote
for it commits you to no party dogma, no Bal
timore, Cincinnati, Charleston, or Chicago
Platform, but simply to do your best to pre-
serve the Government founded by our Reyolu-
tionary heroes from being oyerthrown by
faction who purposely threw away On election
and then made its loss pretext for fomenting
a rebellion. The Union movement is mutual
pledge to resist and defeat this rebellion-that
and no more.
Patriots Americans lovers Of the Country
and of Freedom we entreat you to rally as
one man to the polls and vote the Peoples

TysE CAMPAIGN IN MISSOURI.

Neosho, Newton County, where Sterlipg
Price and G. +. Jackson are said to propose,
with Ben. McCulloch's help, to make a stand
against Gen. Fremont's army, is fifty miles
southwest of Springfield, within twelve miles
of the west line of the State, and scarcely
twenty from its southern border and Arkansas.
But, should Price be followed thither by force
nearly equal to bis own, be will run again,
and take refuge either in the Indian Territory
adjacent or in AIkansas-more probably the
latter. Thus, between the advance of Ere
moDt's conyerging columns, including Lanes
Kansas brigade, and the defeat Of JEFF. Thonp-
son in southeastern Missouri, the State is at
least .eyen-eighths secured to the Union. Oi
course, it still swarms with men who are ct
heart rebels; but armed bodies of them are
scarce and shy, and their genius for bridge
burning aud precipitating railroad passenger
trains into rayines does not manifest itself Of
late with its pristine yigor. A signal reverse
TO the Union arms would doubtless call large
bands Of these apiable creatures into tie field
again; and we hear Price is concealing his po-
sition and maneuvering to fall upon single
division of his pursuers in overwhelming force
and repeat the Lessons Of Springfield and Lex
ington. Unless he can spring some such trap,
we suspect the campaign in Missouri is virtu-
ally ended, and the State all but restored to
