Senator Fessenden. Of Maine. sue
ceeds Mr.. Chase in the Treasury De-
partment. He is an able man. but he
has no, the ability Of his predecessor.
Chase was the best man in the Cabinet;
but he was too radical for the admins
tra,ion, it is said. and hence could not
peaceably occupy a place among the
Presidents advisers. If Mr.. Lincoln
does not stand up to the loyal sentiment
Of the country, il he attempts to recede
FROM one advance position in the name
of Liberty. there will be reaction on
the par. of the people which will yet
sweep him from power. The earnest
men u the nation are determined to kill
slavery, and die it must. Any man
who stands in the way Of this decree ol
the people will be crushed by their IN
diguation.

Secretary Chase.

We regard the resignation Of Secre-
tary Chase as q national misfortune.
We do not believe his place can be fill
ed BY any other public men. He is
able and full Of resources, and has the
confidence Of the people in . very high
degree. We have not seen the reasons
for this step as yet. but they ought to
be very grave ones. indeed. 10 justify
Mr. Chase in taking such step.

The follow ing important statements
ara from = letter to the New York
Worlds journal which is not accus,om-
ed TO magnify our advantages Of the
enemy:
The fortitude with which the rebels
have borne their severe losses in the
pass two months seems to be giving
way. A wall reaches here from KicL.
mond, telling Of agony and distress iu
that capital. taxing human indurance
to its utmost. From an active sympa-
thizer with the rebels-one who is in
their confdence-it is learned that the
distress in and around Richmond can
not be expressed or imagined. The
forced marches to defend important
points against our cavalry have used up
large number of men. Diseases OF
various sorts prevail to fearful ex.
tent. 1t is estimated that Gen. Lee has
between forty and City thousand sick
and wounded on his hands, whom he
finds it impossible to remove beyond
the. scene Of ac,ual contest. Beside
these. there is large population of
noncombatants to be provided for. Il,
is estimated that Lee has a population
Of two hundred thousand depending
on him for food. and the secesh fear
that il Grant keeps the railroads cut,
while the common roads were impaired
BY heavy rains. starvation would be
added to the other cafami,ies Of the
beleaguered cities. Lee has made an
urgent appeal to Johnston Tor assist.
ance. especially in cavalry. and they
expected to-day that The repulse Of
Sherman would permit Lees request
to be granted. ocl ~
The secessionis,s contend that our
losses fully doabse Lee in the campaign,
but say he had never had SO many
men. aud cannot stand loss SO well.
Besides. by means. of sanitary and
christian commissions. our wounded are
much better cared for. and a greater
proportion Of them return TO the ranks.

GEN. GRANT AND The PREsfDENCY.-
In commenting upon the possibility OF
Gen. Grant. in . certain contingency.
accepting the nomination for the Presi-
dency, The Milwaukee Sentinel says:
1--WE know that Gen. Giant has per-
emptorily refused, in advance, any offer
Of the Presidency. He replied to those
who we're seeking to learn his views on
the subject. that. while the war lasted.
no earthly inducement could take him
voluntarily from his present position
and that even should the war come 10
speedy conclusion be would be the most
ungrateful Of men TO run against Mr.
Lincoln. This declaration comes to US
through the most trustworthy sources.

Gen. Grant has fully decided not to
enter the political arena. And those

A NEGLECT OF DUTY,

Somebody has blundered. II is fact which
the country ought to know, that Messrs. Fro.
mont, EBzur Wright & Co., have neglected 10
send copies Of their letters TO President Lin.
coin. The President being an important party
to consult In the execution Of the programme
laid down by those gentlemen, 1t would seem
appropriate that he should be served with an
authorized copy Of the correspondence. Per.
hsps 1t is true, as believed by many, that
Messn. Fremont, Wright & Co. are only writ
ing letters to each other for the solo purpose Of
publication, and are not sincere in their printed
propositions. At any rate, 1t will not be pos
sible for Mr.. Lincoln to retire from the canvas
until requested to do SO by something more
authentic than q newspaper statement, which
may, after all, turn out TO be hoax, like the
Pomeroy circular or the Howard proclamation.
