ANOTHER DEcLISaTIoS.-John Ed
Yards, who was nominated by the In
ion party of the let District, for Con-
gress, has declined the honor, SO gays
correspondent Of the Burlington Ha1h-
oye. This is the last OF the original
Union ticket. Like the Democratic
ticket, the nominees have kept on de-
clining until none are left.
Politicians will have abundant
food for reflection between this
and the next campaign, and If they
don't profit by the blunders they have
made, then Experience had better turn
the Ounces out OF school as hopeless
characters.
The quantity Of cannon, small arms;
shot, shell and other implements and IN
struments of destruction daily 60
ing forward to General Fremont, Is i'm
mense. The Terre Haute Road carries
every day large quantities Of warlike
store S, from 32 -pouhders to boxes of per
cusslon caps.
Why WAS r:-The question most
frequently asked on our streets is
"Why was it that Col. Mnllgan and his
brave Irishmen were lett at Lexington
with barely $500 men to Withstand the
onslaught Of the $4,000 rebels led by
Price Z" We 60 not undertake TO give
Ill the reasons for the situation, but We
are informed on the best authority that
the case admits OF, that it was zen. Ere
monts plan to let Price work his way
up to Lexington unmolcstcd, and then
send a heavy column out from Jeifcr-
sen City TO Sedalia 10 march upon his
rear, wiiIe Gen. Pope's army should
move simultaneously from the north,
and surround and capture, or destToy,
Tie whole rebel force. ON Saturday last
Gen. Fremont received a peremptory
order from Washington for five rcgl-
ments Of well armed and dlsclp lEed
troops. This order was promptly filled,
not with the worst but the yery best
regiments within reach. The raw troops
al Benton barracks, who never had a
musket IN their hands until they went
to St. Louis, could not Of course be dis
patched to Washington or Sedalia
This, we assume, accounts III some mea-
sure for the interruption Of Gen. Ere
mont's plan to send column overland
to attack Price in the rear. His only
recourse was to send reintorcements TO
Col. Mnlliean, by water, and run the
risl; OF the land batteries planted by the
rebel. at Glasgow and elsewhere TO com
mand the channel.- lhicago IfiJuue.

aI- Mr. JEFFERSON DAVIS has written a very
meek letter to the Maryland Legislature. Mr.
DAVIS asserts his desire fer peace, and declares
that the " Confederate Government would
readily entertain any proposition from the
Government of the United States tending
toward peace. There can be but one PROPOSE
ton from the United States Government, and
one of its conditions will be the trial of Mr..
DAVIS and his Confederates for high treason
against its authority. They who cry peace
must practice submission to the law.

Ear We learn from England that Lord
JoHy RUSSELL, the Minister for Foreign AT
fairs, has stated in Parliament that the Brit
ish Government will not permit Southern pri-
vateers to enter their ports, or occupy them
for purposes Of plumber or the disposal of plum,
der. In this determination England is sup
ported by France, whose Emperor intimates
that the ports OF the empire will he closed to
the Montgomery pirates. We expect to see
this action followed by that Of the other Er.
ropean Powers, and thus, before the priva-
teersmen Of JEFFERSON DAVIS have got over
their seasickness, they will fUd themselves
debarred from entering the ports Of the com
merciai world.
