Westbrook Awake.

Esicb lgork-sl5 800 raised BY subscription
In i,go days.
At a citizens meeting held Monday after
Hapn, it was resolved that the remainder OF
Westbrook's quota SHOULD be filled without
drafting or drawing upon their tFe4sury-a
fourth part Of the toyn's quota having already
been filled. AsolIciting committee from each
district was appointed, also finance and re-
cruitng committee.
At lhe adjourned meeting yesterday after
noon, the several copliittees reported sl5,501
subscribed and gave assurance that the NEG
esary sum would be raised. The recruiting
and financial committees were instructed to
commence the yoFk Immediately. The SELECT
men Of the town were added 10 the finance
and recruiting committees and will give their
personal and official influence to the work.
Great credit is due the enrolled men for their
readiness TO do their parI--theg paying ron
$2s to 500 per man. This action on the part
of the citizens will save the town and the
treasury from heavy draft.

Col, Thompson, Of the LIST Iowa cavalry,
who has Just arrived from Little Rock, says it
was understood that from 10000 to 10000
rebels under Price had crossed the Arkansas
river, between Little Rock and Fort Smith,
and all communication cut between these
points. 1t was not known whether Price
would strike Fort Smith or march directly for
this State. Shelby Is expected TO cooperate
with him and enter this State from the south
east, while he pushes his column into the
southwet
A report from another source says Price
already has force 1000 strong in Bear coun-

The following 10 the copy OF q correspon-
dence which took place between the President
aud Lieut.. Gen. Grant, and may prove inter-

affairs:
EzecutiDe Mansion, Washington, ApriI 30.
Lieut.. Gen. Grant Not expecting to 81 you
before the spring campaign opens, wish to
express In this way my entire satisfaction with
what you have done up to this time, so far az
understand It, The particulars OF your plan
l neither know nor SEEK to know. You are
vigilant and self reliant, and pleased with this
l wish not to obtrude any restraints or con-
straints upon you, while am very anxious
that any great disaster or capture Of our men
may be avoided, know that these points are
less likely to escape your attention than they
would mine. II there is any thing wanting
which Is within my power to give, do not
fail to let me know it, and now, with q brave
army and just cause, may God sustain you.
Yours very truly,

Headquarters army of the United States,

dent:-Your very Kind letter of yesterday is
just received. The confidence you express for
the future and the satisfaction for the past, In
my military administration, is acknowledged
with pride. 1t shall be my earnest endeavor
that you and the country shall not be disap-
pointed. From my first entrance into the vol
unteer service Of the country, to the present
day, I have never had cause for complaint and
have never expressed or implied complaint
against the administration or the Secretary of
War for thriving any embarrassment in the
way of my vigorously prosecuting what ap-
peared to be my duty. Indeed since the pro
motion which placed me in command OF all
the armies, aud in view Of the great response
billity aud Importance of success, have been
astonished at the readiness with which every
thing asked for has been yielded without even
an explanation being asked. Should my sue
cess be less than desire and expect, the least
can say is, the fault is not with you.
Very truly, your obedient servant,

EVENING PAPERS.

Withdr0srat of Gen. CochrGne-Hs sciH Swp-
port the baltimore PLATFORM.
New YORK, Sept. "a.
Gen. John Cochrane publishes an address
to the war democrats of the United States,
Withdrawing his name from the Cleveland
ticket. In tbs course Of his address he says:
"Whlle, therefore, Gen. Mcclellan resolves
upon an impossible Union as it was, through
war, the Chicago Convention resolves upon an
impossible Union, as it should be, through
peace" The Baltimore platform, he says,
however Objectionable, does not fail to refer
the re establishment of Constitutional liberty
and the restoration of the Union to the arbi-
tration Of arns. in which, and in which alone,
the national safety is to be found.
He would prefer to have the people brought
to vote on the Cleveland platform; but be-
fore the principles embraced In that platform
Is our country; and he cannot stand In . posi-
ton which, by dividing, hazards the success
OF those who agree that the Union cannot be
restored without the uninterrupted continual
tion Of the war.
