A NEW pA,,ry

A number of distinguished gentlemen.
says the telegraph, are now assembled in
solemn meeting in Rochester, New York
holding a consultation in regard TO the
next Presidential election. They appear to
be the "rossil remains" of all the defunct
political parties that have existed in this
country for the last quarter of a century
We think it is shame that these old pen-
tlemen," who, in years gone by, We're always
willing to make personal sacrifices for tbe
interest of their country, should be again
compelled to accept official station. They
want to establish a balance of power PARTY
Whatever may be the result of their delibe.
rations we do not apprehend it will
amount to much, as we are of the opinion
that there can be but two parties in the
next Presidential canyas-one for the total
crushing out of the rebellion, without any
parley or compromise with traitors in
arms and the other composed of copper
heads, with their peculiar system Of political
tactlcs. This go-between party will prove d
miserable abortion. 1t is a pity, however
that at juncture like the present in our
national affairs, these gentlemen have moi
sufficient patriotism to find more useful en-
ployment in aiding in the work of restoring
the Union, than Of assembling together
to resuscitate old, played out political par
ties, that certain old logies may be able tt
render themselves famous in history by run
ming for office.

A story was current in New York a day
or two ago, to the effect that Gen. GrrMoRE
had fired long range gun shot across Morris
Island, into the city of Charleston and that
the shot did so much damage to the city
that Gen. Beauregard at once sent flag of
truce TO Gen. Gilmore in reference to the
matter. The long range gun shot story
had its intended effect it brought down the
price Of gold, but not the wicked city Of

Mexican dates to the 22d of July. The

The papers in the interest of the French
were doing all they could to create dislike
for and prejudice against the United
States, by arguing that the North was
opposed to an Empire in Mexico, while
the South favored it. They also insist
that Mexico shall acknowledge the Rebel
Confederaey, intimating that it is the will
OF their august master, Napoleon the
Little. The guerllas have sworn eternal
hatred against the invaders, and in their
encounters with the French they take no
prisoners.
