The present most popular stopping place
here is the Slavery House, not yet com.

everybody has business with him the Save

The principal portion Of the Mercury this
week, is devoted to the editor of this paper
onlya passing glance being vouchsafed to
Horace Greeley, j. G. Fremont, and j. B.
Grinnell. We are glad to receive the abuse
of such man as Ii. B. lIendershott. 1t ia
the greatest honor that could be conferred
upon US, and proof positive that we have
said or done something that honest men and
patriots approve.
1t is fact, known and spoken of by all
men, that this and other Northern States,
are swarming with emisaries, tools and
agents of the Southern rebels, known under
variety of appellatlons, and that they will
try to vote, as the most effectual method OF
lnjuring and weakening the d Union cause
and aiding the rebellion, is self.evident.-
We suggested the adoption of some meas
ure to prevent such fraud, whereupon the
Mercury comes to the aid of the bushwhack-
ers with zeal which can be accounted for
only upon the principle Of an interest in the
matter. IF he don't expect to get such votes,
why does he make such fuss about test
ioaths? Or if such an oath would be inar-
propriate in such case, why is not the ad-
ministration of an oath of allegiance proper
or constitutional in any or all of the MINER
Gus cases in which it is required to be taken !
Or why guard the polls at all? Why no,
let jeff Davis army come over and vote the
Republic out Of existence and done with it.

ted by the enemy between Fairfax Court
House and Centeryille, and driven off to.
wards Manassas before it could be overtaker
When this raid on our rear at Centerville
was known the necessity Of guarding that d.
rection, caused the whole army to abandon
Centerville, and was massed this. side OF
Fairfax Court House. and this noon again
marched, and by evening the advance was
in sight Of Munson's Hill.
The rebel cavalry followed at a distance
but made no attlck.
To-day Gen. Mcclellan rode. to meet the
army and was received with great gratifica-
ton.
The works Of defense about Washington
are in good order and manned by exper.
fenced artillerists, and gunboats now lire
