Chicago Dailies on the Presidents
Letter.
CHICAGO, Sept. 16.-The Tribune, of this
morning, contains severe article on Pfesi-
dent Lincoln's letter to Fremont saying it
takes away the penalty of reb lion, and
leaves the war a mere opportunity for mu-
tuai assassination.
The Post, independently also condemns
the letter, saying it will have bad effect in
Missouri, and that backward steps now will
lead to no good results.
Two Important Movements against
the southern Coast.
New York, Sept. l6.-The Tribune of this
morning makes the following statement:
We commit no improperly in announcing
thvt the preparations for two important
movements against the Southern coast are
rapidly going forward, so that the expedi-
tiOns will be ready to set sail within very
few weeks.
One of the land forces will probably be
under Mai. Gen. Butler. The other under
Brig. Gen. Sherman, who is in command of
the important camp at Hemstead, L. l. We
believe that the number of troops of all arms
employed in the two will be about % 900
| men, with naval forces OF proportionase
strength.

BAsTraoRE, May ga steamer from
Fortress Monroe has arrived here. She left
last evening at o'clock, where a small
steamer from Norfolk, under flag of truce,
has Just landed There are over 100 refu-
gees on the Cumberland. They were mostly
wives and children of laborers in the Navy
Yard They report that there are from
1000 to 5000 troops at Norfolk and Ports
mouth
Cen Beauregard had not arrived.
The Louisiana and Georgia troops were
the best accoutred and disciplined. Provis-
ions were very high.
Sixty-seven Union votes were cast at
Portsmouth, and over twenty in Norfolk.
Several batteries had been erected be-
tween Monroe and Norfolk That upon
Craney Island, midway between, and COM
manding the approach to Norfolk aud
Portsmouth, has embrasures for forty guns.
The encampment at Newport Point has
thus far been undisturbed. No immediate
attack upon SewelFs Point or Norfolk need
be expected. Gen. Butler will not risk val
liable lives for a point of so little stragetic
Importance, compared with Others near at
hand.

The Election.

No one could have desired a more heart
some day than yesterday for an election
The sun never rose upon the earth more
beautifully. All nature around and above
was glad. The people were out on the
streets early, and the day wore away like a
quiet summer Sunday. No noise of any
kind disturbed the general quiet-no row
dyism, no loud talking, no disturbance of
any kind throughout the city that we heard
of. The polls were all thronged with peo-
pie most of the day. Those who had voted
stayed around, having nothing else to do
these times. There was a great curiosity to
see who voted for Secession. For a consid-
cradle while in the 4th, 5th, and Richetown
precincts, it was thought that the unbroken
monotony of steady Union voting would
not be relieved by a single secession vote
But as time elapsed along, there came in an
occasional stray vote for the infamous or
dinance. Nobody said much, but nearly
every body looked volumes. The feeling
expressed was rather one of profound pity,
not unmixed with indignant sadness, that
there could be found even a scattering few
of such people in our midst.
The bulk of the vote was cast reasonably
early in the day, yet it was so well distrib-
uted throughout the hours, from the open
ing OF the polls up to the middle of the
afternoon, that there was no inconvenient
rush or crowd. The Court House was, as
usual the centre of attraction. There a
careful register of the names of the seces-
sion voters was kept, and it attracted a
good deal If quiet observation and comment.
The independent republic of Richietown, as
ever, covered herself with glory. She gave
AL votes for the Union and only l against
it. Beat that who can. The Fifth Ward
fully sustained its well earned soubriquet of
" the bully Fifth only five votes, as will
be seen by our reports, were cast for the ordi-
nance.
To sum up the whole matter, the election,
yesterday, so far as heard from, both at
home and abroad, surpassed the most san
guine expectations of the Union men, Who,
for instance, ever dreamed of from 700 to
900 majority in the county of Berkely, over
in the Valley? Or who of 975 in the town
of Parkersburg, ard from l,7OO to 1900
majority in Wood county? Or who of d
unanimous vote of 1873 at Cameron? or of
two to one at Fairmont? Or, above all, of
1000 majority in the county of Harrison
All these returns are in the highest degree
cheering. They show that Northwestern
Virginia is Overwhelmingly sound on the
Union, and give an unmistakable earnest of
what her action will be on the 18th day of
June Wheeling InteLligencer

SIX REGIMENTS ACCEPTED FROM INDIANA.
By the following dispatch from Hon.
Schuyler Cofax, it will be seen that the
Government has accepted the six regiments
now enlisted for three months, for the a0ar.
This will give a chance to a good many
companies anxious to go into service. who
are now thrown out, as many men now in
these regiments have left their homes and
business so suddenly, will be unable to con-
tinue longer than the original three months.
We shall soon learn, no doubt, how many
of those now enlisted will continue, and
then will come the chance for outsiders.

CAIRO, May 29.-The regiment ofCol.
Shuttner arrived this afternoon and pro-
ceeded at once to Birds Point, which
they will permanently hold. They are
supplied with MIME rifles, camp equipage,
and provisions for 80 days. Two batteries
will be sent from here tomorrow. A gen
tleman from the South reports that of all the
troops under the command of Genl Pillow,
only 500 are well armed, these principally
are at Union City and Randolph. Arms,
however, are daily arriving for the others.
Three 80 Founders, three "a Founders, one
8 inch howitzer and one inch mortar are
now here mounting They viii be finished
tomorrow. The news that troops have
been sent into Virginia from Ohio strength
ems the belief of an early movement.

An important movement on Grafton, Vir-
ginia, is being made. A large body of troops
has already crossed the river hastily to
their rendezvous The Yirginians are in
considerable force at Grafton. 1t is believed
that collision is inevitable. Harper's Ferry
will probably be evacuated by this direction
of columns without any direct demonstra-
tons being made upon the troops there
posted. Tomorrow a very important ad-
vance against the rebel forces at Harper's
Ferry takes place from Philadelphia
Five regiments go forward via Harrisburg
and Chambersburg under General Patter-
son, simultaneous with the advance to be
made from the West under the command of
General Mcclellan.
The Herald's correspondent learns from a
government officer that the Secretary of
War has made application, some days ago,
for large quantity of rolling stock on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, to be used on
the Orange and Alexandria Road. He will
soon have that road in working order for
the transportation of men and supplies.
The first move will probably be made on
Manassas Gap junction, it being considered
highly important position, and when once
| in the possession of the Government, will
be the key to all the operations of the
rebels.

CINCINNATI, May 29.-Before crossing the
Ohio, Maj. Gen. Mcclellan issued a proca-
nation to the Union men of Western Vir-
ginia, setting forth that the troops came as
their friends and brothers, and that their
homes, families, and property were safe uu-
der their protection; that no interference
would be made with their slaves on the
contrary, any attempted instruction would
be crushed with an iron hand. The Generals
proclamation to his soldiers says: You are
ordered to cross the frontier upon the soil of
Virginia. Your mission is to restore peace and
confidence, to protect the majesty of the
law, and rescue our brethren from the grasp
of armed traitors. 1 place under the
safeguard of your honor the persons and
property of the Virginiaus. | know you
will respect their feelings and all their
rights Preserve the strictest discipline.
Remember, each one of you holds in his
keeping the honor of Ohio and of the
Union. If you are called upon to overcome
armed opposition, know that your courage
is equal to the task, but remember that your
only foes are the armed traitors, and show
mercy to them when they are in your pow
er. When, under your protection, the loyal
men of western Virginia have been able to
organize and arm, they can protect them
| selves, and you can then return to your
homes with the proud satisfaction of having
| preserved that gallant people from destruc-
| ton.

NOT FEELING EAsY.-The belligerant cor
respondent of the Louisville Courier talks
very defantly, but is evidently uneasy, as
the following paragraph from his last letter
published in the Courier clearly indicates ::
You will see by reference to map of
Virginia, that if the reports be true concern
ing the seizure of the Manassas Gap Rail-
road by the Federal troops, that we are
completely hemmed in at Harper's Ferry.
We have no means of access to Richmond,
nor the interior of the State, and within rife
shot of US is the frontier, while there are
thousands of the enemy in a. halliday s
march. Here then we must stand, and when
the time comes, cut our way out of this
trap. But we are not at all disheartened or
appalled, by these circumstances.

ExCCRsIoN.--The friends of the 18th regi-
ment at the Capital have held a meeting for
the purpose u making arrangements to pay
the boys a complimentary visit. A COM
mittee was appointed to see what terms
could be made with the Railroad companies,
to report at another meeting to be held on
Tuesday evening last. A visit OF the kind
proposed would cheer the hearts of the vol
unteers wonderfully, and since they have re-
ceiyed their new camp equippage and put il
up, they can entertain their visitors in good
style. We trust our citizens will be prompt
in making the acquaintance of the excur-
ionists when they arrive

bility that the federal troops would strike q
blow at that point to cut off communication
with Harper's Ferry.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The following
from Fortress Monroe, dated Monday even
ing, May 9th, is from a correspondent of the
Associated Press: A force of 2, 800 men,
including a few regulars, and four pieces of
artillery, formed to-day and entrenched a
camp at Newport, near the mouth of James
river about ten miles from Fortress Monroe.
The rebel battery fired four shots at the
Empire City and Quaker City off SewelI's
Point, and though over three miles dists Mt,
the shot fell but little short, Indicating that
the guns of the rebel battery are of the
heaviest calibre.
Newport, like Sewells Point, is in plain
sight from Fortress Monroe. The roadstead
there is about three miles wide.
One object Of the entrenched camp is to
command a sand island, which is about
midway between, and completely guards the
entrance to James River.
Gen. Butler was fearful that the rebels
would take possession of the island New
port commands; also, to a great extent, the
peninsula between James aud York rivers.
A large force is to be assembled there,
and SO important a movement is likely to
meet opposition.
There was evideatly great activity at
Sewelrs Point last night.
Hampden is nearly deserted. The long
bridge there was guarded on Saturday,.
About one hundred fugitives came in
this morning. They were provided with
rations and set to work.
