carried to the nervous centres. The fact
that Chlorotrom can be detected in the

thought, went considerable way TO sun

New York, Sept. Is.
The Commercial Advertiser has the fol-
lowing paragraph:
"We learn that rumor was prevalent
in Washington yesterday that Gen. Free
mont is to be superseded in his command.
aud that Qnartermaster-General Meigs is
TO take his place. We have also what we
deem good authority for saying that this
runor, unlike many others. is founded on
fact. and that Mr.. Blair, at whose earnest
recommendation Cen Fremont was placed
where he is. accompanied Gen. Meigs. in
order to explain to Gen Fremlat the rea,
sons and the necessity for this e:ep. These
reasons, we think it will be found, are. that
Gen. Fremont exceeded his authority by
the proclamations, he issued-that being
the main reason,-ard that be has in other
respects acted in important matters not
only without consulting the government
buG in csntravention its orders and prac-
tice."

THE STATE FAIR.-The State Fairope
in Chicago on Monday of last week, under
somewhat discOuraging circumstances on
account of the weather. The Grounds are
located on low land, and late rains rendered
them almost Manageable. We visited them
Oh Thursday, and found goodly number
of people there. The show was not as large
as it was last year. The horses, cattle,
come from distance, compared with for
mer"years, but the articles of mechanism
peculiar to Chicago, were not brought out
We learn that 1t has been determined to
keep the Fair open a part of this week, to
make up for the rainy days of last week.

SURPRISING NEWSPAPER The editors
of the Bloomington Times Messrs. j. & b
f. Snow, have been waited upon by com
mittee, including the Sheriff of the county
and the Marshal of the city, and requested
desist from the further publication of the
paper. The offence of the Times is the
prevailing one-opposition to the Admins
tration. 1t has invariably sustained the
constitution and the Government, but be-
cause it did not hurra for Lincoln and the
Chicago platform, the freedom screechers'
have undertaken to suppress it. The
editors have appealed to the people, de
claring that they have ever supported
the constitution and the Union, and claim
irg protection of the laws enacted in pur.
suance of the constitution, but we learn
that their appeal has been treated with
contempt, and the probability is, that the
paper will be suppressed. Is this a free
country?

The voice ofa Pairiof.

We copy in another column, from the
Quincy Herald, a letter from Hon. W. A.
Richardson in reply to one addressed to
him by G. A. Warren, Esq, soliciting his
views touching the war and tie proper
course for loyal men to persue.
As might have been expected, the views
of Mr.. Richardson are such as every true
Union man and friend Of the Constitution
can endorse. He is sound on the war
question; and leaves no ground for the
slanderOus charge that the Democracy Of
the North sympathise, in the slightest de-
gree, with the rebels and traitors at the
South
1t is hardly worth while to say that the
Democracy Of Illinois have always been
thoroughly for the Union, and that no man
in it is more devoted to it or has done more
for its preservation than Hon. w. A. Rich
ards)n.
Mr.. Richardson is evidently opposed to
the Democratic party abandoning its time
honOred name and principles in accordance
with the demands of the Republicans
| With all Democrats with whom we have
conversed, he believes that the Democratic
party has always been, and still is, Union
/ party. and will only cease to be Union
party when it joins hands with the party
whose platform aud sentiments have been
one ii the primary causes IF our terrible

Sir: am glad you are ventilating in The TRIBUNE
the question of compromise opposing any such ar
rangement with Traitors and Rebels. hope you will

Allow me to suggest, would it not be well to stir up
the people TO hold mass meetings Immediately to pro-
test against anything short Of complete crushing out
Of rebellion, and thereby instruct Congressman how
their constituents would have them act when they re
semble next week
And as petitions are in circulation in favor Of sue
cumbing to the Rebels why not set on foot, immedi
atey and extensively (al over the country petitions
against any compromise, to be signed not by WIRE
pulling politicians, but by the people-the masses
who with united voice say, as the enemies Of the
Government and the country have appealed to the
sword we will compromise only Herewith, until they
return TO their allegiance"
trust you will move this matter through your able
and widely-circuated journal until compromserS are
buried too deep to have resurrection.
