rae RnI Tor Re-districting thc state.

The Eli for Re-dfstricting the -State.
The bill reported by the joint select committee,
appointed for that special purpose to redstrict the
State with reference othe Congressional delegation
to the Confederate Congress, occupied much Of the
attention Of the House yesterday and passed both
Houses on its second reading.
The debate in the House developed a very com.
mendable and general desire to get through with
this important work. in time for the people to cast
their SURFACES understandingly. A disposition was
eEinced by gentlemen from all portions of the
State, TO overlook minor and trivial obiec-
tons, and to so arrange the districts as to
subserye the welfare of the people and lose
sight of the mere aspirations of politicians.
The committee nave discharged their duty with
patriotic prOmptitude and we trust that this spirit
of harmony will be continued until the bill shall
become law. There is no time to lose. And it
were better to bear some slight Inconvenience. than
that our State should fail to furnish its Represen-
tatives to the Confederate Congress- under the Per-
msnent Constitution. We trust that the passage Of
tais bill will be the signal for casting all differ
that may have heretofore existed on the altar
Of our common country, and that one harmonious
and united sentiment may be disseminated from
the Capitol to every portion of the State, having
its origin in the solemn and important event of
arranging for carrying into effect that masterWork
of its founders the Permanent Constitution of the
Confederate States, which all have sworn to pro
tect defend and uphold. Immediately upon the
passage Of this bill, we trust that Presidential
electoral ticket will be announced, pledged to the
support of the present llustrious incumbents jar

That Gen. ASDEKsoN has been superseded 10 the
command Of the Department Of Kentucky there
can be no doubt; as to who is his successor, how.
ever, statements vary, some say Gen. SHERMAN,
Others Gen. McCooK. The New York Herald of the
4th Instant, noticing ANDERsoNs removal, says that
owing to some alleged differences which have
arisen upon points of military etiquette between
Gen. Anderson and Gen. Mitchell, it appears that
Gen McCook of Ohio, hss recently laid before the
President and Cabinet statement of the case, and
a request that new commander be appointed to
the Department of Kentucky.
Gen Anderson Is said to be in bad health and the
proposition of Gen MeCook received the approba-
ton Of both Gen Anderson and Gen. Mitchell. The
result has been the appointment of Gen McCook TO
the Department of Kentucky and it ia understood
that the Kentuckians in Washington are highly
pleased at this arrangement" Prominent Kentuck-
ians regard the sending Of Anderson to this State
ms having been intended merely as a softsning
Weoge with which to make an opening for more
decided and vigorous rule which is now to be nau-
gurAted,- Sherman and NcCook are both of Bull
Run fame, the former better known as having been
connected with g Sherman's battery which. en-
pdssdnt is said to have fallen into the hands of the
COnfederates. AcCoOk was IN command of a bri.
gAde 10 the same engagement. and is probably A
better military man than Sherman.
An unfortunate, and, especially at this time
uuch to be regretted accident, resulting in the
death of Col. RICHARD LYON, of the Sixth Arkansas
Regiment, occurred last Friday merning. Col.
LYON had been sent TO Tennessee river for the pur-
pose OF experimenting some work to be accom-

Confederate states, senator.

The correspondence between Mr.. KENNEDY of
NOntg merry and Gov HAR-s will be read with at
tention. as showing the determination of Gov H
not to permit his name to be used in connection
with the election for Confederate States SENATOR
This determination on the part of the Governor
evinces self sacrificing patriotism which cannot
but add to the high reputation he has won
for devotion to his country, in the present
great struggle The SenatOrsnlp is position wor>
thy of any mans ambition. If the Governor had
been willing to accept it, we would have regarded
his election certain. But he has been called to
another post by the overwhelming voice Of his
country, and he steadfasty declines to desert that
post, until the storm of war shall have subsidized.
He cannot fail to receive the highest appreciation
of his cOuntrymen for thus voluntarily withdraw>
ing from any contest, for the high commission Of
Senator.

OUR wlR FOR INDEPENDENCE.
THE CAMPAIGN n vmerrrA.
The Retreat of the Enemy from Sewen
Mountain
Prom be Rlohnsnd EnqaIrsr. oel. 10.

From the kchmsnd knquirer, Oct. 10.
We are informed by Ulcers just from SewaI
mountain, that the enemy broke up their encamp-
ment during Saturday night and precipitately re
retreated towards the Gauley. The cavalry were
sent in pursuit and for fifteen miles saw nothing Of
the enemy.
The late camping ground Of the enemy, on the
top OF the Western ridge of the Big SeWell, was
visited by the officers from whom we derive our
information, on Sunday morning. They could find
camping ground for only six regiments. One prls.
ener stated their force at 1900; an intercepted
litter declared it but 900; the probability is that
it was less Ethan either estimate. On the ground
were found many evidences Of haste, including
three good United States wagons and seven horses
abandoned, also COOKING utensils, bread soap and
few ordnance stores. Tney hsd cooke ed two days
rations from which it was inferred they intend to
recross the Gauley The prisoners declared that
they intended going into winter quarters in Kama
Wha Valley, at Charleston or Point Pleasant
Such was the complete mystery IN which the
woods shrouded camp Defiance, our officers declare
that not tent or embrasure could be seen from the
enemy's eneampmcnt, whereas, we had plainly TO-
ted their movements, and counted their tents with
some accuracy during their stay.
We have confidence that General Lee will avail
himself of their retreat as far as circumstances
place 1t in his power, and it may be that he will
drive the spoilers from the Kanawha Valley, ere
the advancing season compels him to retire into
winter quarters.
General Wise's stand on SeWell mountain, togeth-
err with the repulse he gave the enemy before rein
forcements arrived has thus resulted in the ETY.
and protection If Lewisburg; and his judgment in
taking position at Sewel mountain is now fully vim
dicsted by the retreat of the enemy

WAsHINSIcE, October l. 1861.
GOVERNoR:-Apphcation has been made to the
President for the release of Robert Elliot, pGiIt

The evidence taken in his case shows that he had
not only conceived tie purpose of reasonable CO.
operation in the State Of Maine with the insurrec
tonGry citizens srrsyed in in other States for
the overthrow of the Government aad the Union,
but that he had gone to the extreme length Of
e. ting up an u.iaEfal force to operate in Maine
against the lawful action CT the State and of the
Federal Government. His associates in that treas,
enable enterprise since his arrest have taken an
oath of allegiance to the United States.
The proceeding Is very proper in itself, but the
representations they make that they and he were
loyal TO the Union at the time when they were com
bining in arms RgsInst it, cannot be accepted. at
least in his behalf 1t sPPesrs that he is too ntell

The civil war in America seems to be entering
upon q new stage. While the exploit of Gen. But

Of the csazs Of North Carolina, Gen. Fremont in
Missouri, has by his proclamation boldly put for

sald, the proclamation of Gen. Fremont has altered
tho whole aspect Of the question. 1t is true accor-
ding to its terms, that the slaves who are 10 be
enancipa;ed must belong to active secessisRists
but the fact being that most of thu great slave own

the Confederate Government it Is Obvious that If
the same prinoipls which nas hagn applied N His
Souri, ii tosb9 applied to the other States Gen Ere~
mont's proclamation amounts practically to a meas
