nomir alton occurs. 1t would not do for the
Phelps clique to force off an investigation,
but they will be sure that no evdnce, or real
proof is admitted that their candidate has
any connection with Watrous You bet. The
Caucus is in session As | write, but nothing
new or important is being developed.
THE EAsTEN NEWS.
The news from the seat of war this norm
ing is signs6cant. Immediately on the ssu
auce Of the Presidents Abolition Proclama'
ton | looked earnestly to satisfy myself as
to the effect upon the army. saw nothing
then, and had given over the subject, expect
ing the army officers were satisfied to 60 the
whole hog. But the news of this evening
has an inkling of the effects l anticipated.
Over so army officers are to be removed.
Because why! The report says for speaking
disrespectfully of the Commander in Chief.
and of the result of the Porter Cour,'martial.
This is CANNON. There is deep trouble in the
army of the Potomac, among the officers.
The privaes are no doubt somewhat discour
aged, but they dare not evince 1t.

| THE HOMEOPATHIC CHART.
This publication has created a little hostll
ty among bretheren Of the Union party,
Some of the members, formerly Republicans,
entered on this chart as members of the Re
publican party. This did not suit the mem
bers formerly democrats and they, in Caucus,
demanded AL explanation. A back door was
found by J. w. Owens, who stated that his
name was so entered from misunderstood
ing. But it is suspicious when we find eleven
names on the Chart, all Republicans. Here,
at least, are eleven mistakes. The Douglas
Democrats made no such errors, but invaria-
bly, entered their names as Union Admins
traiion." The old time Democrats, put them
selves down rs "Democrats," and no mistake.
But then "Repubicans" are all known to
be very radical, and many of them cannot
consent to trade "Republican," for Union
Administration"

space that am compelled to pass all other
local news in this letter. NOPE ANON.

self "Agrippa," wrote mess of baderdasl
about the publishers of the Auburn papers
quesiing its publication but the editor Of
that paper very properly declines: informing
"Agrippa" that anonymous newspaper cor
respondents (who vilIify and meanly lie
about olhers) are invariably worthless losfers
without character, honesty, or means, who
seldom have any business excep: cumming
about ram shops Let "Agrippa" put that
in bis pipe and smoke it.
Removal Mr.. Gwynn has removed his
Variety Store from Odd Felws' Hall to his

New YORK CAUCAsIANl-ln another coli
umn will be found the prospectus of the New

paper, and probably the most outspoken
journal in the country against the errors OF
Abolilionism and the tyranny of the Lincoln
administration. We advise Democrats to
form clubs for this paper and give i, wide
circulation. 1t will be seed sown that will
yield Democratic harvest.
