The New Arrnory.

Tht question Of new armory and ar
senal for the manufacture, safe keeping and
distribution Of arms and munitions of war,
IN the Northwest, will be determined at the
ensuing session Of Congress. The present
wants and future requiromebta of the goy>
eminent render such an establishment a
necessity Of vast national import, and will
doubtless cause Congress to adept speedy
measures for its location and completion.
The poin! of location for the proposed
armory is already attracting considerable
attention. The citizens of Chicago and
Rock Island are moving in the matter, and,
by puGlic meetings and circulars are urg-
lag the claims of their respective cities as
the proper place for the establishment
Other towns and cities are looking forward
in expectation that they will be favored
with the nrmory.
But, If the government will consult its
interests, it will disappoint all these rival
cities and towns and locate the arsenal at
Joliet.
In centrally, abundance of water power,
means of transportation to and from all
parts of the country, and safety from for
eign attack or domestic instruction, Joliet
presents advantages that cannot be claimed
for Chicago, Rock Island or any other
place. Situated as it is on what will soor
be made the great thctoughfara by watel
from theu.-sissippi tolthe Lakes, and fa.
vored with facilities of transportation b,
railroad not second to Chicago, and abun-
dance of water power and necessary mate
rails, Joliet presents considerations whiel
should not be overlooked by those whit
haye.the interests of government at heart
Chicago is too much exposed in case 0
q war with England and has no water pow
or, which are considerations of great i'm
portance. Rock Island is not on the RICH
thorcughfare and is too much at one sid,
to be convenient for the vast district o
country to be supplied. And we might G,
on and name equal objections to the othe
places which have been named for tn,
site.
Joliet is far enough from the lakes ant
from the States in rebellion against tn
government to be secure. 1t is surrounde,
by an enterprising, intelligent and loya
population. These in connection with tn
other advantages named, should secure tn
location of tho armory here Let our citi
zens move in the matter and let the adj
ysntages, location and facilities Of our cit
be fairly presented and understood an,
our beautiful city will certainly be selecte
as the most desirable site for this import
ant government establishment.

How Received by our Union
Friends In Kentucky.

As might naturally be expected, the re-
cent speeches of John Cochrane and Score
tary Cameran in New York, looking to a
change of the war, to one for negro eman-
cipation, are strongly disap?roved Of by our
Union friends in Kentucky. The Louisville
Journal, staunch Union organ, thus
expresses their sentiments:

been period less calculated than the pre-

First To make arrangements for tho

Second To prevent arrests or forcibls

Third: To insure that "the war now pro

! Forth The immediate di-bgndment Of
"al bodies Of brmed men acting without
the authority or recognition of the Major
Generals named, and not logitinately can

1"u WI also tind enclosed q copy of nv
letter OF thls date, dispatched under n Gog

1t would DO IN my Judgment inpolitic in
the highest degree to have ratified Gen.
FREMoNT's negotiations, for the following
among many other, obvious reasons:
he second stipulation, if acceded, to
w"nid render the enforcement Of Martial
Law, IN Missouri, or any part oft. inpos-
sibie, and would gTe absolute liberty to the
propagandists Of treason throughout tho
length and breadth Of the State.
The third stipulation, con.ining opera-
tioNs exclusively to armies in the field"
would practically annul the Oon6scation
Act passed during the last session of Cons
gresS, and would furnish perfect immunity
to shose dtsbanded soldiers OF PRIcE's com,
mand vino have now returned to their
homes but with the intention, and under

Because the fourth stipulation would blot

Ihere are many more objections quite as
powerful and obvious, which might be ur-
ged against ratifying this agresment-its
