leads me more strongly to believe that the
war cannot be. loug continued. =: / might

dence, zon the part Of many Of the Northern
soldiers, that there viii be no more fighting
between the armies Of Lee andrMcClellan,
and "a correspondent desire that there
shall be no more. A young Confederate
Captain, just arrived from General lees
headquarters, informs me: that the whole Of
McClellan's army, with. the exception of
some few troops stationed at and about
.Harper's Ferry, yet occupy Ihe position in
sMaryland, assumed shortly after the battle
Of. Sharpsburg, aud no purpose is manifes-

Every effort was made, prior to the nom
ination of-caudidates, to- accommodate the
difficulties between them and produce con
cert of action in the prosecution of the war
but without success. The conservatives in
sist upon conducting the war only 10 the
exercise of powers. authorized by the Con
stitution of limited States. The ,radi
Gals insist upon conducting it IN the ;exer
else of.auy powers that will accomplish the
/ end ia vieR--the suppression Oft the revo
luton; that the Constitution shall be IN
needed and imperative until that result ii
accomplished. When the, nominations i:
New York were FIRST made, the Herald an
neunced that Seymour, the candidate o
the. conservatives, for Governor. would b'
elected by an Overwhelming majority ove
Wadsworth, the candidate of the radicals
In the issue of that paper of the 4th, it il
suggested that Seymour may be defeated b!
the use of the superior. financial means o
the radicals, and the exercise of the power
which the late surrepdcrs oi the Govern
ment into their hands by President Lin
kcoln,, and the late order from the War De
partment, providing for the appointment o
Provost. Marshals in the so.called loya
States, puts at their command. This orde
unquestiousbly provides the powers for th'
establishments Of an unmitigated militar!
despotism. The Herald of the 4th alleges
that the success of Wadsworth in the com
! ing election wilt be the signal for the es
tablishing 10 the State of, New York, ove
the conservatives, Of this despotism in al
its rigor-and predicts that in short tune
after such success there will be scarcely {

things is confidently anticipated by mum

determination forcibly to resist the first eff

see how a conflict cap be avoided. This i:
