In national sense, he is an enemy to
the Confederacy; but 1T cannot be denied
that has personal sympathdes are Nth a
people eoho are struggling against the same
tyranny that has tranapled upon liberty IN
his 0son country, and that has laid its hand
upon him for the purpose Of crushing him
out as champion of that liberty His own
view of his position were exposed in a
brief address to the people of Ohio, dated
the 5th ult, and written from the Military
Prison, in Cincinnati ---r..
The Confederate press agree, without
dissent, that the misfortunes of the distin-
guished exile command respect and kind
treatment at the hands of our people,
They oppose, with equal unanimity, the
policy and propriety OF any public demon
stration, or of any course of action to alter
has status, as an eriled citizen Of the Unl-
ted States, and as candidate for COVER
NOR IN ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT
STATES OF THE OLD UNION.
The majority of the press agree with Us
that Mr.. VS. best course is to get out of
the country as soon as possible, and make
his way to Canada, as near to Ohio as
possible, and there prosecute his canvass
for Governor of that State. That course
would be better for the cause of freedom
in his own country, to which he has de-
voted his life, better for himself and his
| own power of usefulness, and better for
us, aoho are deeply concerned IN eoery eff
fort aohich looks to the o0erthrow Of the
Black Republican G0verneezt aohich rules
at Washington, to the disgrace of civili-
cation and humanity. If he remains here
be loses his power and plays into the cum
ming hands of Lincoln and Seward. If
he returns, he may yet become the libe-
rator of his country. Another course has
been suggested. 1t is for him to re-
pair at once to New York and claim the
protection of Gov. Seymour, and Of a
State which still boasts that it is free. Mr..
V. is himself the only proper Judge of the
policy of such a STEP He knows. better
than we do the hopes and the peril of it.
as hispersonal soellwisher, we should hes
itate to adoise It, As Confederate, ue
should be glad to see the experiment tried.
1t would open the way tor an Issue be-
tween the boosted tree State of New
York and the Lincoln Dictatorship, and
show whether there was any backbone
lett to New York Democracy, State rights
and constitutional freedom.
We must confess that we should not
have much hopes in such contest. Gov.
Seymour and his Government and party
would, we believe, go UNDER before the
power of Lincoln and his army of 600, 900
men; and Mr.. Y. would be surrendered
to Lincoln, and, if that tyrant's courage
did not fail, to-the scaffold."

NEW YORK, Oct 2O-The POSTS Wash
ington letter has rumor that one corps of
Lees army has gone to Chattanooga, but
there are no actual facts upon which to
make such statement.
There is some talk in military circles OF
an early repeal of the three hundred dollar
section of the Consumption act
by Congress, this will be urged in Decem-
ber, and it is notimprobable that in the next
draft exemption by money will be impossi-
BILE. Some persons advocate anew law fix
ing the exemption price as high as $500 or
even SI,5OO and providing that drafted men
who 90 to the field shall receive the bounty
in their districts.
This scheme is said to have originated
with Mr.. Chase.
A special to the Post, dated Washington
Oct. 20, says that everything is lively and
cheerful this morning
Gen. Meade's army is in hot pursuit OF
the rebels who have already retreated be-
yond the Rapidan.
tits thought that Gen. Grant will take
the place of Gen. Rosecrans. 1t will be
remembered that Grant arrived at Cairo
some days ago from Vicksburg, but it is
impossible to ascertain the truth of the re-
port.

Rebels Falling Back.

New YORK, Oct 2O.-The Herald's cor
respondepce from the Army Of the Po-
tomac, Oct. 10th, says 1t is now quite
definitely settled that the rebels are falling
back towards the Rapidan and our army
offers them battle by advancing. Con-
struction trains have run as far as Briston's
station to day, and to- morrow supply trains
will run to or beyond that point.
The trestle bridge at Bristow was burned
by the rebels and the track between Manas-
sas and Catletts station has almost wholly
been torn up by them. The slight skirm
ishing to day does not indicate general
engagement probable and the campaign, ex
cept the pursuit of the fleeing rebels, may
be considered closed.

WASHINGTON, Oct 20.-An amended Cir
cular has been sent out fIom the Provost
Marshal General Office by which it appears
that for every recruit, who is q veteran
volunteer, bounty and premium, amount,
ing to 400 dollars, will be paid, and to all
other recruits, not veterans, 3O2 dollars
These are for the old organizations. The
object is to encourage volunteering, as
these who are drafted receive only 100 dol
lars baunty. Meaenlisted under this order
will be permitted to select their regiments,
which, however, must be one of the old
regiments in the field.
Thos. Jefferson Boynton, late United
States Attorney for the Southern District
of Florida, was to-day appointed Judge OF
the same District, in place of Marvin.
There seems to be well founded belief
that if any change shall be made, General
Grant will be the successor of Gen. Rose
Grams.
