A GLIMPSE FROM THE ISsrDE.-The Rich
mond correspondents of the London Times,
writing October sth, gives gloomy picture
of the Confederate position, and says Lees
army is almost worn out. There was nearly
panic at Richmond when Gen: Grant
threatened an attack on the 18th of Septem-
Der, as Lee had only handful Of men to re-
.ist it. He thinks if General Sherman es-
tablishcs himself in Georgia there will bo
reason for apprehension about Richmond du-

The PRESIDENTS VISIT To GEN GRANT
The recent visit of President LINCOLN TO the
Army near Petersburg has been the occasion Of
considerable newspaper comment, and has I'M
doubtedly given rise to some apprehension that
the campaign was not ia all respects progressing
as hyoraby as could be wished. And the time
taken by the President for his excursion was no
doubt inopportune, being moment when the
army seemed to be arrested in it's progress by
formidable entertainments which could not easily
be dlnked. We are inclined to think, however,
that the visit was not necessary one, but rather
a trip for pleasure which the President desired 10
make before the weather got any warmer. 1t is
,ad that the most friendly relations exist between

PoLlrlcAL.-The so-ealled Democratic party
has issued a call for State Convention to assem-
BILE here on the 18th day of July. The Commit.
tees invitation is as follows:
All persons who are in favor of sustaining and
unfolding the Democratic party in its efforts to
save the country from the control Of that party
which has plunged the country into civil war,
changed Tree government Of States into a cor
rupt central despotism, and is bringing a rich and
| prosperous people to individual suffering and
want, and national bankruptcy and in its efforts
to restore the country to that state of internal
peace freedom, and prosperity, which has always
existed when the Democratic party were in pow
er, are respectfully invited to attend.
Although the phraseology Of the above is not
entirely free from obscurity, owing to the peeu-
liar and rather involved style into which the Com
mittee seem to have fallen from a difficulty in
saying precisely what they wanted to say, it is yet
toerably apparen; that the peace wing of the
party iuded the call. We are glad to notice,
however, that the party are in favor OF freedom
aud prosperity" and we quite agree with them
in the order in which they advocate these results
Freedom for all, black as well as white, is the
cornerstone upon which the future prosperity of
the Republic must rest, and il the Convention
would only have the wit to announce, with all sim
cerity, that as their platform, they might go into
the campaign with some prospec, OF success. As
i, is, and promises to be, however, the movements
Of this party in this State are of no consequence,
and have no political significance.

Court affirming in part, the constitutionality
of the act OF the las! Legislature allowing sol.

ing for members of Congress and President, 1t
is decared constitutional, but in respect to voting
for State officers it is held to be unconstitutional.

so far as constitutional As We hope to give
the opinion entire in our next paper, we omit

FIsnTSG QuALTIEs OF CoLoRED Tsoops We
have said but little Of the bravery and soldierly
qualities Of the colored troops now in the United
States service, because there has. been no need
Of eulogzng them and We only write para
graph now to say, that the fact that they make
good soldiers, as brave as any, and more obed-
ent to the strict letter OF or ieis, with an en-.
durance aud courage that haze proved their
manhood, does not surprise US There was no
reason, from the first, to suppose that they would
not fight we'll and behave well, and the govern
ment not only Numbered most grossly but was
actually gully Of crime against the people,
IN so long persislenlly refusing to put the
federal uniform on black men And even now
1t does not give It's colored soldiers protection.
and still withholds the pay which is Justly their
due. One would think the steady courage
which saved what was not lost Of Gen. Sturgis
ill'tated expedition, and the gallant assault
which carried the rebel intrenchments near
Petersburg, might extort even from the most
reluctant Administration an oct of at least sim
pie justice.

" We learn fact with regard to the situation
