Nr feel impelled to congratulate the
7t,',ts ard Post, Of this city, on their cheer
lui support Of the Union Convention nom
inaucrs on q platform which calls for the
use Of Livery legitimate means OF warfare
-'t~ suppress the rebellion-including the
"coz dscation Of all lrrope1ty Of rebels, and
~tysr to tne liberation Of the slaves
>tin, Il is ro: so surprising that they
should acquieEcc II the platform, when We
r,:,.cc; int both Of them endorsed the
,,tin>:.. l,s q! Fremont's proclamation with
gu: s,iut, until the President countermand-
tti il. The Government having altered its
}oiicy for the better, the 1iMles and I'ost
Lave luya.lr altered theirs to correspond,
Vtc cannot too highly commend them for
lie prpmptitude and zeal Of their support
Of the Union ticket under such circum-
stances.
The candidates, too, are deserving OF
.a.LcA praise fer their silence on the sub
jet CT the card Of Mr.. Hayes and his
ss!;erGs, demanding that they shall repudi-
ate their platform, and take the ground Of
Lostility to the measures, which the Gov
ernn,ent finds it necessary to adopt to
suppress the rebellion. We commend them
all for their reticence in the face Of such

cgate. He is man OF very sound iudg-
ment, clear, exact, and comprehensive, and
one who has given the subject Of organic
law much thought. No msn in our county
better understands the defects Of the pre-
sent Constitution, and the amendments
that it needs, to make it conform to the
wants Of the people. As Judicial reform
will be one Of the chef subjects for con
sideratiou, his experience on the Bench has
furnished him with peculiar opportunities
to observe the defects in the Judicial de-
partment of the present Constitution, and
to advise the proper amendments which
should be inserted. We presume he will
receive very general support in the South
District for Delegate to the Convention,
from men Of all parties.

NEW YORK, Oct S0.-The Tribune publishes
lengthy report Of A5lutant General Thomas,
in regard to Fremont's case- It can be sum-
med up in the statement that Gen. Hunter,
his second in command, gave reluctant opiu-
Jon that Fremont was incompetent for his ex-
te2si1e command. This also is the concur
intelligent men in Missouri, and the report
etatea that Frenont's order to march was is
sutd to an army Of nearly 40, 600, mSay Of the
regiments badly equipped, with inadequate
supplies Of ammunition, cloA1ng and trans
pol tat1on.
In regard to Kentucky, it is stated that Gen.
Sherman deems zoe, GOO men necessary, though
he is willing to fight the enemy with what he
hs. No large bodies Of troops can be raised
in that State, and its defence must devo.ye OF

CHICAGO AND TIE PACIFIC TEL
EGRApAs

ANNAEAs
1t was announced yesterday on the
Board Of Trade that Hon ]. D. Cation,
President Of the Illinois and Mississippi
Telegraph Company, had secured Tor Chi
cago the honor Of being the eastern termi-
nus Of the Pacific Telegraph Rightly
approaching the importance Of this
achievement, the Board unanimously ten
dered to Judge Cation a vote Of thanks for
his services All messages from Califor-
mia for the Eastern and Southeastern
States will be sent to the Western Union
Telegraph Office IN this city, and messages
for the Pacific Coast must be sent here for
transmission westward. The tariff Of rates
fer transmitting messages from Chicago to
San Francisco is $495 for the first ten
words, and 43 cents for each additional
word.
The Importance Of this arrangement can
scarcely he overestimated. It will make
Chicago the focus from which all news re-
ports will be received from and sent to
California and the Pacific Coast. News
agents and reporters from every principal
! city in the Cp:on will he located in this
city. Chicago will have standing adyer-
1isement in every paper East and West Of
| the mountains. With concentration OF
news will come concentration Of trade
and travel, and Us soon as one Ct our Iowa
railways can be pushed through to the
Missouri, the business Of the city will re-
ceiye an accession, the extent Of which tht
most sanguine would not now dare to pre-
dict. If we mistake not, the Cedar Rapid
and Missouri River Company are prepar
ing soon to open considerable section o
their road, and the stockholders Of th'
Galena Company should combine thei
money and their energies to complete tn
lire as fast as men and money can do il
Now that Chicago is TO be the headqnar
tiers Of intellis sence TO and from the Pacific
railway to the Missouri cannot be com
pletcd day too soon. Or city is nearl
on q direct line between New York an
San Francisco; it is the commercial an
financial metropolis Of the great and grow
ing Northwest; it is alike secure agalns
secession on the South and enemies on III
: North, should John Bull get in aout. an
I hence the managers Of the Pacific Tel
graph have acted wisely in making it tt
centre OF their Eastern business.

Mccall, with nineteen Pennsylvania resi-
ments, infantry, artillery and cavalry,
moved from Prospect Hill to GAINESVILLE, |
Va, on the Leesburg road, distant some
twelve miles from Leesburg and not more
than six miles from Edwards's Ferry. On
Sunday night, Goth, Capt. Philbrick, Of the
Massachusetts troops, made reconnois-
ancc from Ha1rison's Island TO within
mile and half of Leesburg, and found the
| coast clear. During the grey OF morning.
Monday the 21st, the "forlorn hope" Of
Gen. Baker crossed at Harrison's Island,
to engage the enemy Tor at least his
attcntion) in that quarter. During
Monday forenoon the fight was un-
important, and not until two o'clock
| was the enemy rallied to make slaughter
Of Lis men. At about this hour, 2 O'Clock,
the enemy, being engaged elsewhere, Cen
erals Stone and Banks began to throw the
great body Of their troops across at Ed
wards's Ferry, some miles below, and
made The crossing unmolested! They had
reason to believe Mccain was near item
at Drainyille. But on this same day:
Monday, unbeknown to Gen. Mcclellan,
, Banks or Stone, and acting under.the or
: ders Of some other officer, Mccall began
TO I'LL back whence he came. Tuesday ou1
troops still held their ground at EdwardG'
