DIR CHARTER ELECTION.

Two things are especially deSirable-nay,
essential--in view OF our approaching Munich
pal Election: first, to place our very best cli-
zens in nomination; secondly, TO induce or con-
strain them e. stand. An honest capable,
thrifty, .orcbandcd New-Yorker cGn make no
money out OF The post of Alderman or Council
man, and he generally suppOScs that he can
gain no honor by X. Bat that is Il mistake. A
Common Council. earnestly and capably intent
on saving the peoples money instead of stealing
II, could surely earn and receive more honor than
so many average Members Of Congress. And
the duty is neither arduous nor exacting, being
mainly summed up in intelligent obedi'
cuco 10 the commandment, Thou shalt no;
Others.
We urge the Citizens Reform Association to
present for Aldermen and Councilmen the very
highest and best names in our City--not all OF
these necessarily, but enough Of Them to arrest
public attention and defy competition. Let our
citizens Of eminent capacity, integrity and cx-
pericnce in public affairs, be largely represented
on every ticket: let rs make it an honor TO be
an Alderman OF Councilman by the character Of
the men selected Cor those posts of duty. Let
no man be excused because he is too rich, or too
eminent. or too busy, or averse TO business, but
let rs have tickets presented which shall COM
pei every Intelligent upright citizen to say, ~
these men will serve. they ought surely TO
be elected" Give 10 such candidates. ard. il
they be not elected, it will be no fault Of the
Reform Associations.

THE sHRNANDOAH.

We have from our special CORE pondcnt
with Sheridan some information touching the
recent movements OF the Rebel force under
Early, in The Valley of the Shenandoah. That
restless chief does not seem disposed to take his
three defeats quietly, but is obstinately bent on
q fourth. Having rcOrganized his army at New
Market and thcreabout, he has once more adj
yanccd northward, and spent last week in the
delicate process OF feeling his adversary. Sher-
dan lies encomped in and about Newton, To-
oality 10 the north Of Cedar Creek, and afford
ing, perhaps, better ground ior an intronchcd
and permanent camp than could be found in the
position which Wa surprised on the memorable
10Th Of October. TIP to the front Of Sheridan
lines Early has pushed his cavalry, and on the
18th there occurred a collision which seems to
have dsinclinedthe Rebel commander TO pursue
his investigations.
Itis not 10 Do understood that there has been
anything The 10 general engagement between
the two armies. There were "Reminiscences on
both sides. There was spirited cavalry fight.
But there has been no battle OF infantry. Lo-
ma1's cavalry division has got itself handsomely
thrashed, with loss Of two pieces Of cannon and
sundry prsoners-a sort Of gentle reminder 20
Jubal Early that he has TO deal with General
who knows something about cavalry, and who
handles that arm with extraordinary precision
ard with the most dangerous Guickncss. Shcr-
dan, in fact, has way Of "settling' cavalry
Generals, new and old, and his subordnates
have caught from him an unfaling inspiration.
As fox the possession oi the Shenandoah Val.
ley, it is ours wholly, 50 long as Sheridan
chooses. The key 10 the Valley lies far to the
north, unless it is meant 10 be held in connec.
ton with tho Cupeppcr line north Of the Rap.
dan and east Of the Blue Ridge. But tho Valley
alone is inst as well controlled at Strasburg, or
at either Of .bo strategic positions south Of Win.
chester, or at Mount Jackson or Stanton. In.
deed, the further north Sheridan establishes
himself, the more secure is his ground against
.he dangerous flank movements for which
the passes cs the Blue Ridge offer al.

ways perilous facilities. Divegardins wise
ly all considerations of military display,
Sheridan has seized upon and inaexibly holds
the points which arc essentially and strategy
cally iuportah,-points which force his an'ago'
mist to attack him at disadvantages and TO e1'
tend to the utmost his own lines of communica'
ton and supply. The retirement down th'
Valley means Just this and no more. Early re
sumcs his advance because he must try some
thing; because his own reputation as a com.
mander is at stake; because he IS urged
on by the sncers Of tho Richmond
press; because the Rebellion lives to-day on
prctcnsc rather than on fact, on shadow more
than on substance. Bat the attempt reveal:
the real weakness Of the Rebel force. 1t VII
shortly appear that even this aggression must
be abandoned, for tho pressure which is newly
enforced from the South, from the heart o.
Georgia, and from the entering columns o.
sherman. must compel the withdrawal OF Early

Again, the anti-SlaVerv men q most OF the
States were frightened into silence. Only Mis-
souri organized Republican party, which
egreeably surprised the country by tie large
number they mustered on election dar.
Then began the great crisis in our history.
The Unionists in the Slave States were forced 10
choose between Secession and perpetual Slavery
on the one hand, or Union and closer associa'
ton with the snti-Slavery party OF the Free
States on the other. With this alternative be.
fore them, thousands in every Slave State which
ceased 10 be controlled by Rebel bayoncts
FASTENED TO 20 over, with flying banners, into
the camp OF freedom. Every succeeding elec.
ton disclosed more gratifying results, ard the
great electoral ordeal through which the Repub-
lie has Just passed shows that the good work is
still going on, TO tho entire satisfaction Of the
opponents of Slavery, and TO the utter dismay
of the Shareholders, traitors, and Copperheads.
Let US briefly glance at some Of The principal
facts,

the Slave States in the struggle for freedom, IN
