The attention of the country is now rivit-
ed upon Missouri. From its commence
ment, the war drama there has been of pc
culiar interest Camp jackson, Boonvillc,
Carthage, Springfield and Lexington, with
intervening tragedies only less thrilling,
have in succession absorbed and intensely
excited mems minds. All now feel that in
tercsts of incalculablc moment hang upon
the success of Fremont IN his present move
ment. The rebels have gained advantages
that have flushed them with unwontcd hope,
hut we believe their hope will be short
lived. Though without the army that should
be at his command, there is still every roas-
on to believe that Gen. Fremont will spoedi-
ly achieve series Of memorable successes
and in effect end the war in that State.
That such will be the result is ms certain as
any human event in the future. The enemy
has repeatedly shown himself to Inc almost
immeasmably inferior to our troops, and has
thus far gained what he has 10y avoiding
fght,and atlcngth pouncing in immense num-
bers upon a compartive handful of our men.
This being the enemy's plan, it would seem
to have been policy to draw him in force
into the interior of Missouri aud thus sur.
round and capture or destroy him. Besides
the paramount interest felt by Fremont in
the security of the west and the prosperit,
of the country, he doubtless feels that Ii,
has an immense personal interest now II
stake upon the chances of his success. !
horde of great and small critics have broker
loose upon him, and all men are waiting t.
condemn or honor him by the high and Sc
we're standard of failure or success. How
ever heroic and wise his exertious, shoul,

The Election,

The election in this county, on Tuesday
passed off with remarkable Quietness, and
the number of votes pollod does not reach
onc-half the usual number. In this town
ship, last fall, the vote was something over
400, while in no case this year does it reach
more than lS9. There were several reasons
for this lack of interest at the polls ; the
principal of which was the fact that there
was no local opposition, and then almost ev-
cry one felt as though the State Ticket was
safe without their vote. If the vote in 9th
er counties opproximates anything near the
sweeping majority given for the Union
Ticket, in this county, Tod's majority in the
State, can not fall much short Of l0O,OO0!

We can never repay the gratitude we
feel toward Ohio for her promptncss iii rush
ing to our relief. All honor is due to your
gallant State and your brave soldiers. When
the war is over, and the rebellion crushed,
Kentucky will take pride in expressing her

all coming generations with admiration for
the people who come to defend her in tho
hour of need. Before this war closes these

causes the greatest anxiety.
Powerful batteries have been erected a
long James river, in anticipation of an adj
vance of the Federal army in that direction.
The armament has been removed from
