Dissolution.

The partnership concern recently organ

politicians, Engineered by ROBERT +.
CLARK, Esq, was run into the ground on
last Tuesday and dissolved by general con-

result of the election has shewn, was per-
fectly harmless. Its dissolution did not
even cause an explosion.

assist DR.. John in the defeat of the DEM

by the circulation of lying handbiHS, and
the frail barque burst its boiler. This

to put their names to their lying bills or
to dirty their hands with their circulation,

The President and Gen. Fremont.

The Springfield (Illinois) Journal, the
home organ of President Lincoln, edited
by his nephew, administers u strong re.
buke to those Republican journals who
oppose the President and sustain General
Fremont. In alluding to the Chicago
Tribune, a type of this class Of journals,
it says;
"Thc Tribune seems to be bent on mi.-
chief It's abuse of President Lincoln for
his order, modifying Fremont's proclsma-
ton SO that it shall conform to the law, is
sweeping and without qualification. 1t
takes emphatic issues with the Government
and is doing all it can to weaken and de-
stroy public confidence in its war policy
1t may not be aware of the fact but it Is
dividing instead uniting the people. 1t Is
giving aid and comfort, not to the Govern
meat, but to those who would be glad to
see treason triumph, The dictatoria spiF-
it with which it tells Mr.. Lincoln on what
principles and with what policy this war
Shall be conducted, and its intolerance oI
any other than its own views, are decidedly
refreshing" A

The. Importance OF Missouri

The interests now imperiled in the
Southwest are, in the eye of statesman,
farmore important than the safety of
Washington. If the rebellion should be
successful, we should never continue the
national capital on the frontier where it
would be constantly liable to menace
and the worst that would rasult from its
fall now (aside from the loss of prcstge)
would be the loss of Maryland, whose
Southern sympathics cause it to gravitato
towards the Slavcholding Confedcracy.-
But the success of the rebels in Missouri,
would in case the rebellion is successful, en-.
tail the loss Of our whole magnificent wes-
tern domain, extending from the right bank
Of the Mississippi to the coast Of tho Pa
ciic.
The State of Missouri is the key to an
embryo empire. Its detection to the Con-
federatcs would lose us all the fruits Of
Jeffcrsons's craftsmanship in the Louisiana
purchase, all the rich territorial fruits of
the Mexican war, and the whole of Gre.
gon, for a mere strip of which we we're
ready to 90 to the war with England ff.
teen years ago, when the popular cry was
"ffty -four or fight" 1t would end the
great political controversy respecting the
non extension of slavery, by giving I'D 10
the enemy every foot Of the territory so
long in dispute. 1t would complete the
circle of the national quarrel on the slave
ry question, by bringing it around to the
point where it commenced in 1919, and
cause the success of the South in the ad-
mission of Missouri as a slave State to cul.
inmate in the greater succass of its with
drawal carrying with it all the territory
which rendered that famous controversy 80
important.

g9- The jeremiades of the Columbia
County Republican, on the result of the
election, only 60 to show the strange per-
sistence in folly, of which an ordinarily
sensible man is capable. It's winnings
over the defeat of its ticket on the pretense
of its being for the Union, more especially,
are of the most absurd, and prove the
lengths to which man can 60, to deceive
and delude.
Much better lament over the falsehoods
made use of by its friends to carry the
election, much better mourn over the base
Misrepresentation resortcd to, and the
false issues evoked. How absurd its "no-
party cry, in the teeth of the Bradford
Reporter, which says ;-"Rcpublicans be
at the polls early, and vote for none but
the regular nominees of the party" and
which says also, speaking of the Union
movement in Bradford. &C. If there are any
so " green" as to be led into the trap, we
wish them JOY of their aiiiliation' &C., &c.
And when in all the Republican counties
of the State, straight republican tickets
were put into the field and even in New
York city straight republican municipal
nominations have been made.
We have long known, and the last mum
Der of the paper affords additional evidence
of the fact, that the DR., has no belief in
the intelligence of the people, but they
must be quite as obtuse as he thinks them
if he can make them believe this republi-
can union movement in Columbia County,
had any thing honest in it. The whole
sale mannerin which the people repudiated
it is satisfactory evidence of their good
sense, discernment and patriotism and
lis fling at the back townships, falls harm
less at the feet Of those honest and intrepid
voters.

The Batteries of The Lower Potomac

1t is now evident that the batteries a.
long the south bank of the p otomac have
been erected to resist an attact upon Fred
ericksburg by the Union army, 1t is un-
questionably true that they have complete
control over the navigation of the Potomac
between Occoquan and Matthias Point.
This has been demonstrated by the throw
ing of shell from the Freestone Point bat
terry half mile inland on the Maryland
side few days ago, and by the experience
of our vessels, which were compelled by
the battery at Acquia creek some time a.
90 to withdraw to a distance of over four
and half miles to be out of range oftheir
rifed guns, But although they have the
power to stop our navigation Of the river
with these batteries, they dare not do so,
for fear Of precipitating the attact to resist
which these river batteries were erected
Fredericksburg might be made an easy
prey if an army should advance in that
direction, and the possession of Gordons
vile or Fairfax, or Culpcpper Court Housc
would be the immediate and unavoidabl,
result of the capture of Fredericksburg
The Confederate army of the Potomac
would thus be cut off from all communca.
ton with Richmond and the South, and
be caught like rats in trap.

has been detained ever since. He looks

Fine Pay for Volunteers.

There never were such inducements
offered to volunteers to enlist in any army
of the world as our Government proposes
now. Besides those considerations of a
patriotic character that ought to induce
our young men to rally around our flag,
and bear it successfully through this war,
look for a moment at the pay, Suppose
private to have served for one year, and
that being the end Of the war, his account
with the Government, reduced to q cash
vuluation, would stand about thus:
For u months pay at 8l3 per
month, Sl56 90
For II months commutation for
clothing % AZ 90
For II months commutation for
rations, Sl2, 244 90
For bounty, 100 90
For grant of l6O acres of land Tin
prospecD valued, say at l6O 90
Total for the year, S7O2 90
Thore are other considerations involved
which we have not enumerated in the
above statement. The act of Congress,
approved July %, 1861, provides that
" Every volunteer, non>commissioncd Of
fcer, private, musician and artifcer, who
enters the service of the United States un-
der this act, shall be paid at the rate of
fifty cents in lieu of subsistence and if a
cavalry volunteer, twenty five cents add
itional in lieu of forage for twenty miles
Of travel from his place of enrolment 10
the place of muster, and when honorably
discharged, an allowance at the same rate
from the place of his discharge to the place
of his discharge to the place of his enroll-
ment,
Moreover, in regard to pensions for the
wounded, and provision for the wido ws of
soldiers killed in battle, and every other
essential particular, the entire volu nteer
force is placed upon an equal footin G with
the regular army,
TIE country is in no danger from the

armed and stout.hearted Democrats have
