LATEST WAR NEWS.

Our only news from Washington. con-
nected with the rebellion, has reference
to the navigation of the Potomac. That
river appears now, temporarily at least, to
be completely closed. Soue new bate
ries have been disclosed. aGd no vessels
were able to pass up yesterday. The
Wsr Department has determined to re-
strict newspaper correspondents in the
use Of the telegraph for the Transmission
of intelligence of warlike movements. and
~e ere therefore, in q measure cut of
from our usual supply Of news
We have from Missouri the news Of a
rather i'm j, ortsnt battle which took place
on Tuesday at FredericktowD, near Pilot
Knob. Col Plummer With detachmeDts
OF infantry. cavalry. and artillery. attack
ed and completely routed 5000 Rebels
uoder Gems JEFF Thompson and Lowe.
The latter was killed, together with 8
large ber of the neDy--now many it
is not sisted. The loss on our eide was
FIVE killed. FIVE severely wounded, and
twenty slightly wounded. The National
troops behaved .pleudidIy, each detaeh-
nent striving to excel the others in acts
of bravery.
From Gen. Frem ont's army as Warsaw
no news has reached US. His pontoon
bridge was finished but the river was
very high.
A f1tt of some magnitude has taken
place within day or two, at Camp Wild
Cat in Kentucky. near Camp Dick Rob
iuson, point about 35 or 40 niles south
west Of Lexington. 1t was between the
Rebels under Zolicoffer. and Col. Garrao
who comm nded the National troops =
The former DUN hered from 5000 TO 1000;
the latter, 1900. Zollicofer made three
separate attacks. each time being repul,ed
with considerable loss. The loss on our
side a killed, and 20 wounded.

The Result and its Lessons.

The recent election in this Representative
District has rather shaken the citdel of old
fogydom Where the natural consequence
of nomination by democratic convention
has hitherto been an overwhelming majority
in favor of the nominee, we this fall find Geo.
II. Rowland, the candidate of the hitherto in
vincbles, slipping into the House of Repre-
sentatiyes of Pennsylvania by the mere skin
of his teeth. How the glory has departed
from the house of the leaders! What a rat
Ting among the dry bones of the dictators
What a vanisher of hopes from the minds OF
the wre-pullers A sudden crash from a
unanimous vote down TO q miserable ma jori-
ty of nine. Truly the scales have fallen
from the eyes of the masses, and corrupt pol
iticans have received notice to Famous the
ranch. Such a victory is but single de-
gree removed from a defeat and a few
more such successes cannot fail to place the
Monroe and Pike-in the ranks with those
counties Of the State which move on with
the grand army OF progress. We regret that
the district is to be represented by person
whose union sentiments are somewh hat ques-
tionable, but we are encouraged with the
hope that another year will find his place
filled with another and better man.
The election has given us its lessons which
all may profit by. To the patent democracy
it has impaired a knowledge Of the fact that
the rights of counties must be respected, and
if they would command the votes of the peo-
pie they must forgo political knavery, and
act like honest men. The people having set
up to think and act for themselves, political
geremanderng is quoted drug in the mar
ket and of no sale. To the people it gives
an assurance that they have the power in
their own hands to wipe out corruption and
and TO fill their Offices with
honest men. Let them but act in concert
and the days of political fogydom Will have
zone by forever.

The Next Legislature.
Burglary.

The Store Of Messrs p. g. ]. Miller, in
the upper end of our borough, was burgla-
riously entered, on Monday night last, and
robbed of Muslins, Cassimer, &C., TO the es-
timated amount of $50. The burglars affect
ed an entrance into the cellar, and from
thence worked their way into the store room
above, and after having secured such articles
as they wanted, sprang the bolt in the street
door aud departed. The desk and number
of drawers in the esta blshment were rum
mayed, but the money drawer, which con-
tanned one dollar and half in pennies, was
LEFT untouched. Our merchants nd citizens
generally should keep watch on their bolts
and bars at this season, and especially du-
ring these hard times, or the notice of such
occurrences may fall to our lot oftener than
would be desirable TO us, or profitable to the
victims.

Gen. Fremont Superseded.

The report made by Adj. Gen. Thomas OF
his recent examination into the administra-
ton of the Department of the West by Maj.
Gen. Fremont, was yesterday considered
IN full Cabinet meeting. With the reuc-
lance which hesitates to injure distinguish.
ed man, and to wound and dsappolnt his
friends whom popular leader gathers in his
career, all the members of the Cabinet slowly
pronounced their judgments that the inter-
ests of Missouri and of the Union required
that Gen. Fremont should be superseded in
his command by Maj Gen. Hunter.

On reaching the position selected. the

until midnight, wien it ceased.
Throughout the light the remainder
Of Gen. Stones force crossed the ri7or.

that she was Mrs. Jackson, the mother o.
Jackson who shot Ellsworth, and that her son

Tie Frankfort Commonwealth has in
