The Effect on Mr.. Lincoln.

A correspondent OF the st. Louis Repub.
hccn, writing from Washington, thus de-
scrbes the effect OF care upon Mr.. Lincoln:
You must see the President to have any
adequate conception of how dreadfully the
heavy complication OF cares which have
thickened around him have exhausted even
his immense physical powers. See him
and then you will have very vivid cen.
ception of tired giant. See him and you
will have some idea how Atlas looked just
after be had lifted the world upon bis shout
ders. Que never thinks Of the immense
mental labor and haunting care that has
accumulated so heavily since bis Inaugural,
ton. If you saw him then, you should see
him now and if you ever thought it
pleasant thing to be President you will im>
mt diately abandon that very extrayagant
idea,

Fight Between Tom Sayers and Jena

Hon. Joseph Holt and the Secreta-
ryship of War.

A few weeks ago concerted attempt was
made by the radical portion of the Repub-
lican party to drive the Hon. SIMON CAME
RON from bis place as Secretary of War.
The press denounced him in the bitterest
terms as corrupt and inefficient, and at the
same time eXtolled the Hon. JOSEPH Holt
OF Kentucky, as the proper man for the
place. Petitions were gotten up in an un~
precedented manner to the President, ask
ing him to remove CAMERON and appoint
Holt. All this outside pressure the Press
ident steadily resisted, and kept his Cabi-
net entire. We have noticed lately q ces.
sation of this warfare upon CAMERON and
of this eulogy of Mr.. Holt. The Chicago
Post thus explains the reason:
Ten days ago the same honest 10 Holt in the
tulness OF his patriotism, wrote a letter to the
President condemning portion Of General
Fremont's proclamation and from that time to
the present all mention of 10 Hot--honest pa
triotc and incorruptibe 10 HOlt--for a seat in
the Cabinet. has ceased Not one of his ex-
travagant admirers would now like to have him
in the government.

GEN. MCCLELLAN AND FIELD ARTILLE-
RY.-Ihe Washington correspondent of the
New York World, in speaking of the army
of the Potomac, says:
"Across the river field drills of the dozen
brigades and constant artillery practice are
the order of the day. The big guns are all
the time booming from multitudinous in
trenchments, and on the river shores field
batteries are actively maneuvered in every
battle exercise. General Mcclellan is
making the greatest and most unceasing
efforts to enlarge, organize and educate the
artillery corps of the army. The strength
OF this all important arm of the service in
creases every hour. am positively in
formed that there will be no general advance
of the Potomac column until the com.
mander can take sac hundred cannon with
him, three fOurths of which are to be rifled.
One may we'll hope, in view of the limited
ordnance resources of the rebels, that the
progress of such force will be irresistible.
Mcclellan seems to grasp the idea of the
work before him with that enlarged COM
prehension resulting from ocular study of the
grand modern European campaigns. But he
finds it easier to obtain guns than experienced
men to serve them, and keeps ali artillery
companies and regiments at severe and regu-
lar practice"
On taking command, General Nc CLELLAN
observed that the battles of this war were
to be decided by artillery (six hundred can.
non.) This shows the giant character of the
war. NAPOLEON, in hardly any of his greet
battles, brought into the field such immense
parks of artillery. 1t is unprecedented in
warfare.

Union Sentiment in the South.

The New York Times makes an Inter.
esting statement, upon Information derived
from gentlemen who have recently come
from North Carolina and Tennessee, con
corning the existence OF Union sentiment in
those States. According to this informa
ton, when the news of The capture of Hat
teras Inlet was received at Raleigh, the
Legislature being 10 session, several Union
Numbers rose in their places and cheered
and swung their hats; and many more
people would have gone to Hatteras than
did 60, to take the oath of allegiance to the
Union, had not rebel troops lined the coast.
In the center of Western Tennessee "the
feeling is open and strong for the Union
men not hesltating to declare publicly their
hostility to secession, and as general thing
their right to do so being respected by the
secessonists."
If these things be so, the development is
one OF the best that has recently come to
light. The future OF the Union depends
npon how much Union sentiment remains in
the South and how much can be stimulated
by the progress of events 1t Can scarcely
be doubted that Union army would to day
be hailed as deliverers by tens OF thousands
OF southern people.

AbOlitiOnism at a Low Ebb.

Abolitionism is rapidly getting into dis
favor even IN Massachusetts. at the late
Republican State Convention in String
field, CHARLES SUMNER delivered one of his
intensely Abolition speeches, but, in eff ct
it fell still born. The Newburyport Herald
(Republican) thus speaks OF it:
We don't know how it appears to others
but it seems to US that if JEFF Davis had liberty
to send his own agent here to d, the worst iol
US, he could have done nothing more
Such men as SUMNER have for years been
working to destroy the Union, that is. their
labors tended to that result, and it will not
be long before the whole country will re-
cognize the fact, if, indeed, it does lot all
ready.

Public Condolences

Confidence in the success of Government
IN its movements against the Confederate
States, strengthened very much OF late by the
unhesitating support of the money power
OF the people, is undoubtedly the principe
cause of this revival in the stock market.
but it has received a decided impulse also
from the more encouraging business PROS
poets of the country, the heavy export de-
maud for our cereal products, and the more
favorable traffic returns and cheering nros-
poets Of the railway lines connecting with
the West. Whether people are too san
guine in drawing encouragement from these
items, or not, it is an undoubted fact that
hopeful views are popular, and while events
tend to encourage their diffusion, it is not
surprising to witness the expression of this
fresh confidence, in the speculative move
ments of the Stock Exchange.-New York
Tribune, Oct. 8, Money article.

An Apology to the Hon. Edward U.
Hamlin.

1t is the rule of some journals never to
make correction, nor offer an apology.
This is a marked characteristic of the Ions
don Times, which arrogates to itself the
leadership of all newspapers throughout the
world. But, however high the authority OF
sucn an example, higher sense OF justice
induces us to disregard it, in one instance,
at least, and that with reference to the Hon.
EDWARD 0. HAMLIN. This gentleman, we
beg to inform our readers, is resident of
Minnesota and was, until five O'Clock M.
of Tuesday last, the Democratic candidate
we presume he has not been candidate.
This presumption, however, is stated on
general grounds; for we have received 10
authority from him TO make such an an
nouncement. The exact reverse may be
true Mr.. HANLIN may still be in the field;
but, in the absence of certain information,
we think it safe to announce his retlracy
from the gubernatorial canvass, as fair
interential, though not positively ascer.
tanned, fact in our political history.
II it be granted, then, in the nature of the
case, that the Hon. +. 0. HAMLIN is no
longer a candidate for the Office OF Govern
or, we feel bound to acknowledge to that
gentleman that we owe him an apology. It
is customary for the press to make candi.
dates for high stations, the subjects OF pub~
lie comment. This custom has grown so
universal, that an Intentional disregard OF it
might fairly be viewed in the light of a
personal affront. Now, we were mortified,
in looking over our files, through the course
of the campaign, to find them barren of any
allusion to the Democratic candidate for
Governor. We were surprised, also, to fiud
that the press of the State, generally, had
paid Mr.. HANLIN no more attention than
we had. Such silence looks, on the face of
it, contemptuous.
We don't know that other editors will
have the manliness to do MIR. HAMLlN JUS
tice for the apparent slight which has been
put upon him. But, for ourself, we will
tender him the amplest apology in our pow
er; and confess to him, as we low do, that
We had utterly forgotten the fact of his
candidacy. We beg him TO lay the affroDt
Of our seeming indifference to lack OF
memory, rather than to lack of courtesy.
In further expiation, we promise him that
when be is again placed on the gubernatorial
track, we will DO him the fullest justice we
are capable Of, in this respect. And to
assure him of our perfect sincerity and good
feeling, we have day made the following
entry in Our political memorandum book
HAMLIN, Hon. EDWARD O.; when next a
candidate for Governor, 10 receive a first-rate
notice.
There; We think We have done the
handsome thing, and hope it may be suits

WHERE IS JOE Holt ?-The Washington
correspondent of the New York Evening
Post says: The question is often asked, why
is not Mr.. Holt in Kentucky in this peril
Gus time? They who ask it little know
what Mr.. Holt is doing here. He is doing
more for Kentucky here than q regiment OF
men could do on the field of battle, and,
besides, when the proper moment arrives
he will not be found in Washington, but
fighting for bis government and country on
his native soil.
