Gov. Johnson purposes issuing writs of
election for a legislature at the very ear
lest practicable dag; that is, when the
progress Of our military arms Is such
that loyal citizens can go to the polls in
safety. In short the Union thinks civil
government will be reinstated when the
people become ctUtt
The same paper notifies Gen. Bragg
that fearfully black thunder-cloud will
burst ere long upon the head of his bad
smelling, and lanklimbed tatterdema-
lions. The rebels are short of bacon,
but they will soon have more Ham than
they can digest. -
The balance in favor of the govern
meut against the rebels in the number
of prisoners, is sixty-four thousand. We
have on hand in parole seventy-nine
thousand rebel prisoners, against fifteen
thousand Union soldiers in their posses
sion. This makes the exchange market
easy.
The Legislature of Western Virginia
elected W. T. Hadley of Montgomery
county, and Peter G. Van Wrinkle of
Parkersburg, q. S. Senators for the new
State. We congratulate the new State
on being rid of the traitor Carlisle. We
expect to hear of him next as member of
JEFF. Davis rebel Congress.
The Chicago Times denounces John
A. Logan as renegade and abolitionist,
and the State Sentinel echoes the de-
nunciation. 1t certainly looks rich to
see man who several years ago was in
favor of unfurling the flag of univer-
sal freedom denouncing Democrat
of Logans antecedents as an aboli-
zionist:
Judge Perkins is still putting in his
leisure hours by issuing habeas corpus
they Voluntarily agreed eidt to perform. He
accomplishes double purpose ia this
lines bis own pockets with handsome
rees and weakens the army upon which
the Administration depends to put down
the rebellion
The St Louis Republican claims the
election of John G. Scott to Congress
from the Sd District, to fill the vacancy
oecasioned by the death of the Hon. Mr..
NOEL. This, We suppose, is conserv-
tive" triumph, or the Republican
wouldn't feel so jublant over the result.
Two noted gserrillas, named Groves
and Gillem, were captured on the night
Of the Both ultimo, in Marshall, Mis-
souri,, and hung. The brother of the
rebel General Marmaduke was also cap
tured, and correspondent significantly
remarks, he has disappeared" This
hanging of rebels is quite disgusting to
the Missouri Republican. 1t says be-
tween the bushwkackers and the State
militia there is little safety for quiet
stay-at-home people. tHaff5i

). We will earnestly support every con-
stitutional measure tending to preserve
the Union. We cannot, therefore, sup
port the present Administration, whose
course is destructive of the Union and
Government
4. The war is now being conducted,
not for the restoration of the Union, but
for the abolition of Slavery and the de-
struction of the Republic.
5. Under our form of government our
sovereign power is vested in the people,
and rests upon no other foundation than
the viii of the people, who are the only
lawful sovereign, and the public func-
tionaries are their servants
6. On the part of the rebel States, if
a disposition is shown to return, they
should be welcomed back, with their dig
nifty, equality, and rights unimpaired.
7. This resolution denounces arbitrary
arrests.
g. Asserts freedom of speech and of
the press.

mour in New York.
ii. Commends our soldiers, and saws
they are worthy of nations gratitude
Hon. Bean Bradbury, of Eastport, can
didate of last year, was nominated for
Governor with great unanimity A pri-
vate letter from him to member of the
Convention was read, in which he ex-
pressed the opinion that madness ruled
the hour, and the Republic can be saved
from impending ruin only by the CO.
operating OF conservative men against
the spirit of fanaticism.
He declared his opposition to the
Emancipation Proclamation; to the
.Con6scation Act; to the subordination
