traitors newspapers are disloyal, he sup.
presses their circulation. Thus the whole
nation is made to feel that there is ruler
at the Capitol, who is fully equal to the
situation" and to the world he has demon
strated this great fact: that our government,
supposed to be the weakest among
nations, is in truth the strongest, because
subject, in this period OF danger, to the
will of one great, directing mind; and
that furthermore, the President of free
people may exercise all powers necessary to
the preservation of their nationality, which
Kings may venture upon only when hedged
around by mercenary armies. His solution
of one question, upon the issue of which the
fate of the Union depends, gives assurance
of his qualifications for every exigency.
The party which gave him power clamor-
ed for war of emancipation as the only
path to victory. 1t was the clamor of un-
reasoning passion--the echo of Coward to
Richmond" which had induced his generals
to commit terrible blunder. The question
was one of craftsmanship and like States
man did he disprove of it.
And this brings before us the "other man"
of "great expectations Pathfinder,
who never found path in his life, and ne
yer attempted to find new path without
losing his way, but, following beaten trails,
won undeserved reputation who, magni-
fed of late by the heated atmosphere of
party politics, seemed to loom up on the
horizon of this war to the stature of great
intellectual and military giant, but on
nearer approach dwindles down to man of
very small proportions.
This weak man, who is strong only in
will, arrogance, ambition, conceit and vani-
ty, has, however, served good purpose.
He has destroyed his own reputation as a
great military commander, for which neither
talents nor education fitted him in the
slightest degree and with him goes down
the whole tribe of political Generals and the
fanatical party which has been working to
convert this war for the defence of the
Union into crusade for the utter destruc-
ton of the institutions of the South.
No mind can divine events of the future
but what has already transpired in the pro-
gress of this civil war, seems to lead to a
conclusion in which all old political organ
nations will be broken up, all hostility tc
the government crushed, all differences suf-
ficiently reconciled, and the Union preserved
under the guidance and direction of ABRA-
HAM LINCOLN, who will, in that event
thenceforth rank among the greatest bene
| factors of mankind.

TRIAL OF Col. BLAIR-The St. Louis
correspondent of the New York Tribune
speaks as follows of the forthcoming trial
of Col. Blair by military tribunal, under
the orders of Gen. Fremont:
"The trial of Col. Frank P. Blair, Jr.,
on the allegation of bringing charges against
his superior officer in manner contrary to
the army regulations. will take place be.
fore Court-martal in few days. Major
r. NJ. Corwir acting as Judge Advocate.
Among other documents of interest likely
to be brought out in the evidence, will be
letters from Colonel Blair to members of
the Cabinet, and letter from President
Lincoln to Mrs. Fremont, written during
her recent visit to Washington. 1t would,
of course, be unjust to attempt to decide
upon the merits of the case until the evi-
dence is developed"

Col. ID. A. Robertson, Candidate for
Sheriff.

1t will be seen by an announcement in
this mornings paper, that Col. ROBERTSON
has been solicited to become candidate for
Sheriff of this county, and that he has con.
sented to the use of his name before the
people.
We are heartily glad to publish this fact
The office of Sheriff has been dragged
through the mire of personal and political
corruption ever since the organization of
the Territory and county. So shamefully
have its concerns been managed, that the
very title of the Office has become word
of reproach. 1t is the most important of
our local offices, and, faithfully administered,
the most respectable. The Sheriff should
rank in repute with our Judges on the
bench; as it has been, this officer has hardly
ranked above the criminals in his charge.
This office can be raised to its proper posi-
ton, with Col. ROBERTSON as its incumbent;
and we cannot doubt that when citizen
of his standing consents to stand for the
place, the people will be glad to put him
in it.
We need not write at any length con-
corning Col. ROBERTSON or his qualifca-
tions. He is known to the community as
belonging to the best grade of our citizens.
No one stands above him in point of moral
worth or public spirit. He has had ample
I experience in similar duties, as United
States Marshal, for term of years, of the
State of Ohio. There ought to be 10 need
of pressing such man upon the notice of
the people for such an Office. The commu-
nifty ought to be rejoiced in the opportunity
of securing his services; and we believe
they will manifest their appreciation of his
character and fitness by electing him at the
polls.
The nomination of Mr.. MARKLEY was an
Improvement on the nomination of Mr..
WILKINSON. The nomination of Col. ROE
ERTsoN is still greater advance in the
right direction. If the people bring COM
mon business sagacity to bear in electipg
their Sheriff, they will give Col. ROBERTSON
clear majority over both his competitors.

Doctor RUssELL.-It is said that the
correspondent of the London Times has been
arrested near Wilmington in this state, tor
a violation of the statute which forbids
shooting on Sunday. The Doctor was after
prairie chickens with two barrelled shot
gnn. His case is hard one. After having
made game of the American Eagle. for
many months, shooting all the while with a
long bow, to be now hauled before a coun-
try Justice of the Peace for wild banging
at grouse, is too bad But is not this arrest,
prompted, as it no doubt was, by personal
dislike, rather than desire to vindicate the
sanctity of the Lords Day, rather small
business?-C Chicago Times.

Movements of Major General Butler.

Washington Dispa'ch TO the n. Y. tribune.
There has been much speculation fn re,
gard to General Buffers visit to Washing-
ton Immediately after the capture of the
forts at Hatteras Inlet, and his failure to
return afterwards to either Fortress Monroe
or the Southern Atlantic coast. The facts
are, that when General Butter started upon
the expedition that resulted in the OccuDa-
ton OF Forts Hatteras and Clark, the orders
given were to obstruct the navigation OF the
inlets and destroy or disable the fortfica-
lions along the North Carolina coast.
Upon arriving at Hatteras, the strength of
the forts and the Importance Of the position
induced the General, in the exercise of his
discretion, to occupy instead OF Destroy
ing the forts. This departure from the or
ders made it necessary Tor the General to
report % the Department here. He had
the qualification to know that what had
been done was cordially approved, and the
wisdom and foresight OF his suggestions,
made two months before, were completely
vindicated by the adoption of the pro,
gramme he had ind Gated. He had enter

Letter from Captain Vogdes, of Fort
Pickens,

The following letter addressed to Captain
BAILEY of the frigate Colorado we find in
the New York papers. Although written
a week before the retirement of the rebels
from the immediate front of our line on the
Potomac, it will be seen that he foresha-
dows that movement very distinctly, from
information received at Pickens:

much in want of ammunition and provisions,
About two hundred of them deserted yester-
day.
There is no business transacted in Pensac cola.
People are tired of war. and very much afraid
that we will burn their town down. You killed
thirty of them the other night. principally with
the canister--" smashed them all up" to use
the original expression.
Some troops here have gone to Richmond.
They don't say anything about fight at Wash
ingtOn but talk of ''there going to be- little
at Richmond l should not be surprised if the
famous advance on Washington should prove
to be nothing more than a thin curtain of
troops spread out in front OF our lines to cover
the removal of their material and retrograde
movement towards Richmond.
Most of the people over the way are tired of
the war, and want peace on any terms. Very
few troops or ammunition at New Orleans. All
the young men have gone to the war. Please
send US the latest news from the West. Come
ashore and dine to morrow. Yours truly,
J. vOGDES.

these are visible through smoked
