The DimcnIiy Of Taking Rich
n.0nO.

The Chicago Times in we'll considered
article upon this subject, forcibly says;
"Richmond, it is universally admitted, is
fortified to an extent which makes it now
one of the strongest positions on the CONT
ncnt Describe Il circle around the city
with a radius Of five miles, and from centre
to circumference there is everywhere net
work of Notifications, defended by the hcav-
lest guns, and so built that the loss Of one
position does not involve that of any other.
To completely invest this position, Grant s
forces would extend at least forty miles; at
present his line reaches from Coal Harbor to
lIanovcr-a distance, at most, of not more
than ten miles. This is about one quarter
of the extent actually to be covered when
the Investment Of the city is completed
I'VE hear much about starving out the
Richmond garrison At Atprescnt, Grant oc-
cupies position northeast Of the city,
while all the rebel lines of supply reach
Richmond from the South and southwest
! In such position Of affairs how long will il
| take Grant to "starve out" Richmond?
AT Nicksburg, broad, impossible river
| invested one half of the position more ct,
| iGetually than would an hundred Thousand
men; ut Richmond no such help exists, snc
what was done at Nicksburg by the friendly
waters of the Mississippi, must at Rich
mond be done by walls Of Federal bayoncts
Therefore the siege of Richmond is moi
begun, and therefore, should people not b'
in haste to rejoice over the consumatlon o
an affair that, in truth, has not yet had
beginning

First Rate Notices of Lincoln,
denominations.

The following is specimen of the way
the honest and Independent press notices
the nomination Of LINCOLN by the Office
holders and contractors at Baltimore The
New York Daily Ne,cS says:
" No one is surprised at the denomination
of Mr. Lincoln to the Presidency by the
Baltimore Convention. Disgusting as it
may be, it was as inevitable as that the sun
will breed maggots in dead dog. Mr..
Lincoln, in effect, has renominated himself,
Baltimore Convention was but the engine
he constructed and used to give publicity to
the fact. The sublime impudence OF the
man in thus thrusting himself for re election
before the people that utterly abhor anC
dcspisc him, is in strict accordance with hi
} character and antecedents. Elevated to thu
: Presidency by political accident, h,
proposes now to retain his seat by corruption
and violence. If the people, after their cX
preston, permit it they will deserve to b.
Z ruled by him"
The New York World says:
But Mr.. Lincoln and Mr.. johnson ar
both men Of mediocre talents, neglected ed
! ucation, narrow views, deficient information
4 and coarse, vulgar manners"

The Journals Response to the
Nomination OF Fremont.

The following is the concluding part Of
The Ohio State JounayS Response tc
Fremont s nomination:
"IIo Fremont has for the last fifteen
years, in every place and circumstance,
demonstrated that he has indomitablc
energy, courage, resources, and administra
tive talents of the highest order. He ha,
more of romance about his career than that
Of any other live American. He has just
the qualities that are wanted for the present
crisis, and the American people, with Il
true instinct, in their present condition
have turned to him, and chosen him as theil
leader. The selection is one eminently fiji
to be made, and will be hailed with dem
onstrations of rejoicings all over the land
We throw the flag to the breeze with the
name ofFREMONT inscribed thereon. II
will be tower of strength in Ohio ant
will bring to our standard Il host that vii
bear that flag to victory which will be on on
last two years

A Correction.

The Columbus Crisis in copying and COM
plmenting an article from the Farmer of
recent date, represents that we have been
for policy and the nomination Of war
candidate at Chicago.
All we have to say in reply is, that we
were always and still remain in favor Of II
peace policy. The Farmer regarding war
as certain disunion, was opposed to its COM
mencemcnt and has always been opposed
to its prosecution. We have never even
suggested the nomination Of "War Can
ddate,"
We defended General MCCLELLAN from
the attacks of lying abolitionists, but it did
not follow that he was our first choice for
President. We advised Democrats to
avoid rashness in suggesting a platform OIL
q candidate; but we never understood this
as committing us to any other than the true
policy Of the Democratic party, which il
peace and Union.
There has been many changes since the
war commenced; but our position is nov
what it has been all the time. We woult
write in campaign that which there was NJ
necessity for writing at other times. w
apprchcnd our files will show about as gooC
record on the question at issue as thos
Of the Crisis, or any other paper in Ohio
We have been constantly sustained in on
} course by the gallant Democracy Of Holme
t County, and we believe they IRE about .
: sound as any other equal number of me
: above ground.
If We will, in conclusion, suggest to Il
it Crisis, that if it was not so given to findil
) fault with Democrats and Democratic p
'f pcrs it would accomplish much more goc
and be more acceptable to The Democrat
IS masses.
