WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-Admiral Milne and
his suite, with Lord Lyons and the entire
British legation, attended by the secretary of
state and his assistant, and Il son Of the seere~
tary of war, yesterday visited Mount Vernon
and paid their homage at the tomb of Wash
ingt0n. The excursion was made in the
steamer Carrie Madn and was in all respects
a pleasant one To the distinguished party. The
naval officers stationed on the Potomac in the
vicinity waited on the admiral, and were re-
ceived by him with great courtesy. To-day,
accompanied by Maj. Gen. Heintzelman, with
a proper military escort, they visited the con-
valescent camp, the contraband camp, and
other places of interest in the department OF
Washington.
1t appears from a telegram received to- day,
dated Chattanooga, yesterday, that General
Rosecrans' communications are complete.
His forces are in position, the raiders dis
persed, and the enemy in front inactive. Our
troops are represented in good physical con-
dition and fine spirits.
Eleven hundred sick soldiers have reached
here recently from the army of the Potomac,
and sent into the hospitals. Two men were
arrested yesterday and committed to the CEN
trail guard house, for dealing in confederate
money.

1t is now nearly or quite six weeks since
considerable part of the democrats of Massa-
chusetts came together in this city and re-
solved in Substance that our institutions were
assaed on one side by the arms of the rebel,
and on the other 10y the usurpations of the
federal government, and that they were
equally opposed to both" Judging from the
temper they manifested on that day it was rea-
Sonable to suppose that they would make a de-
cent effort to obtain an expression of opinion in
the state in the direction of their sentiments.
Certainly they haven't any right to remain en-
tirely dumb while the country is at the mercy
of those 8" startling usuIpations of power
which 50 excited their rage during the sum
mer and early fall. Yet so profound silence
reigns throughout their camp in reference to
their especial cause that comparatively few
people know whether they are in the field
or not, and those few can scarcely call
the names of their candidates without blum
der Their list of accusations against the
rebels was brief enough, and we can well un-
derstand why they are not moved TO any vigor
of effort by dangers from that source. But
it was not SO with the administration and its
supporters. They were intensely and acutely
sensitive on the subject of its assumptions of
power. They arraigned the government on
as many charges as they could without ohyi-
GUS and paIpable absurdity, and denounced
them in as many resolutions as they could in-
vent varieties of expression for. Judge Alb
bott promised to come to the rescue, as soon
as he recovered from his ''cold," and the pa
pers promised that Mr.. Paine, candidate for
governor, should write letter. Both of them
have "mystenously disappeared;" and their
friends manifest 50 little anxiety for them
that the rest of mankind are left 10 in
q fer either that the party is guilty of base in
gratitude, or that the advocate and candidate
have disappeared for cause. The only hint at
solution of the difficulty appears in letter
to the New York Journal of Commerce, which
after deploring the sad ignorance of the
people of Massachusetts as whole,
on all Questions relating to political
liberty makes the following statement
which in point of fact we are compelled
to acknowledge is substantially correct OF
the politics of Massachusetts there is no use Of
saying much. 1t has one virtue, that of de.
cision of character; 1t is not invested with
doubts or uncertainties. There is no doubt as
to who will be elected governor, there is no
uncertainty as to the political complexion OF
the next legislature. Radicalism has the
state, absolutely, and without any prospect of
releasing its iron grasp"

CASE OF STONE VS.. DICKINsoN.-Among
the cases decided at the recent law term of
the supreme judicial court, in session in this
city, was that Of Henry d. Stone vs.. William
Dickinson, for alleged false Imprisonment. 1t
will be recollected that the plaintiff, being in
debt to quite number of the citizens of
Worcester, was sued on those debts, and af-
fidavits made out, it being alleged on the va
rious writs that said creditors had reason TO
believe Stone was about to leave the Common
wealth, and he was arrested and imprisoned.
By an omission in the letter Of the law, he
was released after about year and half Of
Imprisonment, when he commenced an action
against said creditors for false imprisonment,
claiming $4,000 damages of each of them.
Many of those actions were settled by said
creditors giving up all claims for original
debt against Stone. One creditor, Mr.. VIM.
Dickinson, did not settle, but let his case go
to the court. At the April term of the
supreme judicial court, 1862, Judge Mer-

VIRGINIA ILLUSTRATING HIsToRY.-There
was festive gathering of spoismen at Rich
mond few days ago, at which Gov. Letcher
was present, and, report says, grew conspic-
uOusly husky and loquacious. The sentiment
to which he was expected to respond was put
in magnificent style peculiar to the ''tirst
families" =
Virginia-In the struggle for human libcr-
ties she has illustrated two centuries in his
tory.
But owing to the confusion of the hour the
governor wandered from his subject in the
most eccentric and discursive manner He
arrogated the glory of carrying Virginia out
of the Union, by his refusal to furnish troops
for the support Of the government when the
president called for them, which was ante
cedent to the action of the convention. He
then repeated an apocryphal conyersa-
ton of President Lincoln's, in which
he (the presiden) announced his iuten.
ton Of being president several years
longer, in accordance with the fore-ap-
pOintment of God. These were the nearest
alluslohs ne made TO the question now var
gnia illustrated two centuries of history, in
''this struggle for human liberties!" To
be sure, there isn't much in the history
or condition of that ancient state, to
give consolation to the present degen-
crate race. Whatever glory she has is as
ISOLATED inseparably with her early states
men, who, if they had lived till now, would
have been the foremost abolitionsts in the
land. But the children wandered from the
faith of the fathers. and wanting as much
of their ability as of their honor and
pride, they present a vile and contemplate
figure to the world.
