THE WELDEN HOUSE While at Mans
field on Saturday last to attend the great VAL
landigham and Peace Convention, we were
among the fortunate ones in securing quarters
at the weldon. This House, in all the es-
~sentials to the comfort and convenience of the
travelling public, is second to none in the city,
and it affords us lively qualification to bear our
testimony to the courteous and affable deport-
nent of its young and popular proprietor, Mr..
sERED. G.. PALMER. Let our friends in Ash
land and adjacent counties on their visits to
Mansfield make the Weldon a stopping place,
and they viii soon come to feel, as we now do,
that no newspaper notice can do it justice,

eN We believe that the Republicans massa,
heartily desire an honorable andspatriotie con.
clusion ef this horrible war. Let us ask such
if they do not think it time that new men
should BIO called into power, and new ideas
prevail in the cendNct and purpose of the WARP
1t must be evident to every rejecting mind,
that the party in power are wholly incompc-
tent, either to prosecute war or to make peaee.
Every hour tina they conduct the Government
makes the ruin more widespread and IRENE
diable. Turn them oEt. Give rs new men.
Let US have new ideas. This we must accom-
plish speedily or all is lost.

The War NIeeting-The Prospect.

The storm Saturday night did not prevent
one OF the largest gatherings ever assembled
in Mechanics Hall. The call of the authori-
ties was responded to by nearly or quite three
thousand men, who Joined IN the patriotic
spirit Of the occasion with undivided APPROX
al. The next thing is for three hundred men
to respond to the call OF the president. That,
and that only, will make the meeting effectu
al. The new army of three hundred thou
sand men, enrolled and in the field, would be
the assurance that the hard work was nearly
over. Already, with the rebel states drained
of their arms-b bearing population, by intimi-
dation and cunscriptiUn, the rebel army with
difficulty holds its precarious tenure in the
parts Of seven states to which it is cornerrd.
One defeat in Virginia, one defeat in MissiS-
siPRi would damage the rebel army beyond
hope of recovery, aud tbe-tall Of Charleston,
not, we trust, to be much longer delayed,
would take away the last remnant of courage
with which the leaders maintain themselves
now. If by any mischancc, or combination
of unfortunate events, the Spartan army un-
der Burnside is overcome, or of Grant in Mis-
sissippi, and Meade in Virginia, fail to fulfil
the large expectations Of the country, the new
troops would PROBABLY have a field of heroic
service opened to them. If, on the other
hand, as all signs promise, General Burnside
holds his own in the lost but coveted garden
of the rebels-East Tcnnessee-andt the lead
eTs of our larger armies are awake to the OPP
portunities given them by this concentrated
rebel demonstration in Tennessee, the rein
forcements will still have the agreeable duty
of carrying their achievements to final and
satisfactory results.

The repeated assurance of the dispatches,
that Gen. Burnside is safe, and that no appre
tensions are felt for his security, at the war
department, will not quite satisfy public anxi-
ty, SO long as he is practically invested at
Knoxville. Perhaps the great battle there
has been already fought Surely, the attack
ing force under Longstreet could not afford to
be idle long, with the combined forces OF
Sherman and Thomas on the track of his sup
plies. Ii thu battle was not fought last week,
it is very probable that the daring rebel will
find the task too difficult to pursue without
further instructions. News from this inter-
estng field will be awaited with anxiety, until
the rebels are again driven out of Tennessee,
and their hopes OF recovering it are perma-
nently and ehectually destroyed. 1t is incred-
ibe that the authorities, who have known the
incalculable Importance OF this region to which
ever army possesses it, and who know, too,
what a disheartening effect a reverse here
would have upon the country, would leave
Gen. Burnside without resources ample for
every contingency. 1t may be that his falling
back upon Knoxville was part of a concerted
plan, all the branches of which will not be def
lnitely known till Longstrcet and his venture
some troops are beaten, horse and foot. Gen
Longstreet is not great strategist, though he
Is bold and resolutc fighter, and will cali
into action the best resources of the generals
against him.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l.-John X. Steller
has been convicted by court martial of willful
neglect Of duty. Having agreed to furnish
the government with about one hundred casks
of pure prime roasted and ground Rio coffee,
he delivered instead thereof, about one hun
bred casks of coffee, which proved by inspec-
ton and chemical analysis to be impure and
adulterated with foreign substances, which
was therefore rejected by the subsistence de-
partment. The court sentenced said John X.
Stellcr to be imprisoned in the penitentiary at
Albany, n. Y, or at such other place as the

five years. The foregoing sentence has been
approved by the secretary of war, and Albany
