Bringing Forward Candidates

\ good deal Of space is employed nowadays
in the newspapers in bringing forward candi-
dates for the different Offices to be filed thia
fall on the State ticket. A correspondent of
the Milwaukee Sentinel suggests J. A. Hadley,
Esq, of this city as suitable person for Gov
ernor He says:
Il have noticed, Messrs. Editors, many
names mentioned by your correspondents as
proper to be put before the people--as fit to head
our State ticket. There is another-honest,
capable, self-made-just such as the people
should del ght to honor, not yet named. This
gentleman is one Of the early settlers''-was
for long time prominent as editor of one of
the leading papers of the State, and his Union
sentiments are too well known to need vouch-
ers. l refer to Jona A. Hadley, of Watertown,
a long time proprietor of the Watertown Chron-
icle, and once candidate for Secretary of
Staten
Mr. Hadley has all the necessary qualiica-
tons for that position, and if placed in nominal
ton would not fail of an election. We would
be delighted to see him occupying the Gubern-
atorial chair He would fill it with credit to
himself and great acceptability to the State.

Board of Supervisors--School Superin-
tend

No movement has yet been made in this
county towards bringing forward candidates for
the Offices named at the head of this article
1t is about time, if any conventions are to be
called, that it is done, so that the people may
be looking about and selecting suitable persons
to ill the places designated.
There seems to be a difference of opinion in
the minds Of many as to the manner in which
the Supervisors shall be chosen. The law pro
rides that the County Board of Supervisors of
each of the organized counties of this State shall
consist of three electors, one to be elected in
each Of the Supervisor districts hereinafter
mentioned except in those counties which con-
tain three or more Assembly districts and in
such counties there shall be elected one Super
visor in each Assembly district, and one addi-
tional Supervisor for the county at large, in
those counties where there is Tor may be an
even number of Assembly districts.n This
would seem to imply that ''IS each Assembly
District, there is a Supervisor to be elected as
members of the Assembly are but Atty Gen.
Howe, we notice. has given an opinion that they
are all to be elected on a general ticket by the
county at large, We do not believe this to
have been the intention or meaning of the law.
Under the Atty Gems construction of it it
would not be at all strange if the Supervisors
elected should all be located in one part of the
county, whereas the Legislature obviously con-
templated that they should be apportioned
among the several Assembly Districts, so as to
represent the different sections of the county.
In this county there are to be five elected there
being an even number of Assembly districts
(four) and the law requiring an additional one
to be elected for the county at large.
There is likewise County Superintendent
of Schools to be elected, which does away with
the old system of Town uperintendencies. We
do not know what the effect of this law is upon
the school system of cities We are not advised
as to whether they are included in the opera
ton of the law, or go along as they always have
done under system of their own

a Stem Backward

President Lincoln does not sustain, as we
hoped he would do, Gen. Fremont in the posi-
iton he took in his proclamation emancipating
the slaves of the rebels in Missouri. We print
elsewhere the Presidents letter, and copy be-
low the law to which it refers SO that the mat
ter may be fully understood
Sec. 4, And be it further enacted That
whenever hereafter. during the resent insur-
rectlon against the Government of the United
States, any person claimed to be held to labor
or service under the law of any State, shall be
required or permitted by the person to whom
such labor or service is claimed to be due or
by the lawful agent of such person to take I'm
arms against the United States. or rhall be re.
CURED or permitted by the person to whom sucb
labor or service is claimed to be due or his
lawful agent, to work or to be EMPLOYED in or
upon any fort, navy yard, dock armory. shin
entrenehment, or in any military or naval SER
vice whatsoever, against the Government and
lawful authority of the United States, then and
IN every such case the person to whom such Ia
Dor or service IS claimed to be due, shall for
felt his claim to such labor, any law of the
State or the United States to the contrary NOT
outstanding. And whenever thereafter the
person claiming such labor or service shall seek
to enforce his claim, it shall be full and sniff
cIent answer to such claim that the person
whose service or labor is claimed had been en-,
ployed in hostile service against the Govern.
ment Of the United States, contrary to the nra-
visions of this act.
Approved August 6, 1861.
1t will be observed that there is very essan.
tial difference between the terms of the law and
the proclamation of Gen. Fremont for the for
mer frees only such slaves as are known to
have been engaged in disloyal pursuits, while
the latter turns them ali loose, so ionq as thea
are the property Of those in rebellion against the
Government. We cannot see why the latter is
not the true ground for the Administration to
take, though it may be in defiance of law. We
take other property belonging to the rebels
without any legal authority. why not take their
slaves? Is that species of property any
more sacred than any otherl Are we to fight
the rebels and protect them too ? If SO, the
war is not to be conducted upon such princi-
pies, at least on the part Of the North, as had
supposed.
There is one thing certain. The stand ia
ken by Fremont is the only one that will quell
the rebellion IN Missouri The Administration

has got to come to it Before the war is o7er
that must be the settled policy Of the Govern
ment. five have to wait till Congress sits in
December for change in the law, SO be it, but
the delay we fear will cost the Government
thousands of lives, millions Of money and pro-
tract the war many months longer than would
otherwise be necessary
The Presidents view Of the matter undoubt-
edly is that Congress having passed the law
spoken Of since the rebellion broke out, and
aoih special reference 10 tie erising state Of things,
he is not justified in ignoring its provisions
Perhaps this is so. Then the fault lies with
Congress. But it is greatly to be regretted
that this, or any other cause, should stand in
the way of the wise and benefcent movement
sought to be inaugurated by Gen. Fremont.

CAMP SoorT, Sept. II. P. NJ.
Col E. D, TOWNSEND:
We yesterday marched seventeen and
half miles, and reached the entrenched
position Of the enemy in front of Carlisle
Ferry. Driving bis advanced outposts and
pics cts before US, we found him occupying
a strongly entrenched position, covered by
a forest too dense to admit its being seen
at distance of three hundred yards. His
force was five regiments, besides the one
driven in at 3 clock. We began strong
reconnaissance, which proceeded to such
length that we were about to assault the
position on flank and front, when night
coming on, and our troops being exhaus-
ted, drew them out Of the woods and
posted them in the order of battle behind

band came in and reported that the enemy
had crossed the Gauley during the night
by means of ferry and bridge which
they had completed. Col. Ewing was or
dered to take possession of the camp
which he did at about o clock, capturing
a few prisoners, two stands of colors, a
considerable quantity Of arms, with the
quartermaster' stores, messing and camp
equipage.
The enemy have destroyed She bridge
across the Gauley, which here rushes thro
deep gorge, and our troops being still
much fatigued and having no material for
Immediately replacing the bridge. it was
thought prudent to encamp The troops and
occupy the ferry and the captured camp,
sending a few rifed cannon shots after
the enemy to produce moral effect.
Our less will probably amount to 20
killed and 100 wounded. The enemy's
loss has not been ascertained, but from re-
ports it must have been considerable.
