Heaven be praised Washington is safe
The nine hundred half naked guerrillas
who besieged IL have departed as quietly as
they came, driving before them the cattle
they SO badly needed, and carrying along
the plumber they capturedso easily. There
win be no pursuit worth mentioning. The
chickenrhearted authorities at Washington
would not consent to the departure Of the
troops in pursuit until the invaders were
wen on their way across the Potomac. X

Latest from Sherman's Front.

We have further particulars relative to
the crossing of the Chattahoochee, which
are highly interesting. The rebels, on
Sunday, finding Sherman had effected a
Judgement south of the river, burned the
railroad and turnpike bridges, together
with three pontoons. -
Their works were the strongest found
on the whole line, from Dalton, and were
protected by abatis, SO that direct assault
would have been an impossibility. The
stream is at present shallow, and the bot
tom rocky; but no Inan could have forded
it, and charged up the embankments, to
their works.
The intrenchments extended along the
river bank for five miles, and were located
in a position to sweep the surrounding
country. Johnston had evidently been
months in preparing them.
After the flank movement commenced,
the rebel General offered no resistance, but
fell back. We pursued to the Notifications
around Atlanta, which were but eight
miles distant. u We know of no other point
at which stand can be made.
Johnston is thus 'drawing Sherman on;'
when he will be ready to take the offensive
and redeem his promise to clean out the
Union army, is yet problem.

To tIle Press:

We are about revising and pruning our
exchange list. Many more papers come to
us than we need, and yet we dislike to cut
off any; but the extraordinary price which
everything now brings, makes it necessary
for us to economist wherever we can. Its
with regret that we part company from
some of our Brethren of the Press; but ''the
state of the country" seems to require it.
If we Inadvertently strike from our list any
exchanges that are entitled to The STATES.
MAN for printing our Prospectus, they will
please notify us of the mistake, and we will
cheerfully correct it.

[From The Cincinnati Commercial
GEN. Hunters Campaign--Hlis I'm.
becilify and Vandalism.

1.-THE following is from a reliable source.
EDS. COM.l:
One thing is sure-Gen. Crook sared the
drnsN as much so rs Gen. Thomas saved the
army during the memorable contest at
Chicamauga. The loss of the entire COM
mand will probably be seven hundred kill
ed, wounded and missing, one hundred and
fifty wagons, fifteen hundred horses and
mules, six pieces of artillery and eleven
caissons-the two latter items lost by sheer
carelessness and gross neglect of duty on
the part of somebody. Gen. Hunter is not
a Napoleon by any means, while General
Crook was the sKing Been of the expedi-
tion. We lost Lynchburg by inexcusa-
BILE delays, and could have taken it easily
forty-eight hours before we got there !;
and we might have been there, had we
not remained at Lexington two days.
The Virginia Military Institute. was burn
ed, with its valuable library, philosoph-
ical and chemical apparatus, relics
and geological specimens; nothing was
saved. Washington College was sacked and
its fine library destroyed, autograph letters
of WashingtOn's carried of. &c. Mrs. Gov
ernor Letcher's residence was destroyed by
fire, she only having ten minutes to get
out, and only saved what was contained in
three or four trunks or boxes. l saw this
myself. The Institute and Mrs. Letcher's
residence were destroyed by order of Gen.
eral Hunter. The sacking of Washington
College was done without orders, but winked
at by the same official. The lady Principal
of the college went to Gen. H., informed
him of the proceedings, and asked for pro-
tection,- which was fatty refused. General
Crook protested against the destruction of
private property, but withoutavail. Itwas
as great an outrage as the burning of the
library at Washington by the British in
1872. Were but half the truth known in
regard to this expedition, it would damn
some officers forever. Had it not been for
General Crook, our retreat from Lynchburg
would have been complete rout and ter
rible disaster. AS it was, his firmness, and
the fact of Hunters giving him virtually
the direction of every thing, and the un-
bounded confidence the entire army had in
Crook, (for the men felt that he was boss
ing' the affair,) saved all and prevented b
stampede and general demoralization.--
These are all facts which every officer and
soldier was cOgnizant of. 1t was terrible
trip--worse on the men than Morgan's re-
treat from Cumberland Gap. Men were
found on the road dead, with their arms
close to their mouths and the flesh eaten of
to the bone. Escaped prisoners who belong

Not long since number of Congressman
from Kentucky waited upon Mr.. Lincoln to
demonstrate against the arbitrary arrest Of
Col. Wolford in that State. In the course of
the interview, the President laid much
stress upon his liberality. Why, says he, l
have permitted members of Congress upon
the floor of the House not only to criticise
mi policy, but even to personally attack me!
How fine that sounds to free people. Per
Drtted members Of Congress to speak Of his
lhighness." This sounds more like the talk
of an Emperor than of the President Of a
people protesting to be free.

The Political SiiuafiOn..-FremO
and his Friends.

The LINCOLN men will be astounded
when the votes are counted next Noyem-
Der, to find the number of FREMoNT's sup
porters to be so great. We hear of much
activity, in a quiet way, among his friends
all over the State, and throughout the en-
tire Northwest. There is very large pro-
portion of the Republican party that Is
thoroughly and completely disguised with
the President and his Administration, which
can never again be brought to the support
of LINCOLN. His arbitrary and unconsti-
tutional acts, and the imbecility and cor
ruption that have characterized all the de-
partments of the Government since the wal
began, will continue to ALLEVIATE other thou
sands, until the contest shall be between
the nominee of the Chicago Convention and
FREMONT. The indications are, that LIN
COLIN will be left far behind in the race
The office holders and office hunters, the
shoddy contractors and contract hunters,
the thieves and swindlers-all of whom are
making "a good thing" or are trying to,
out of the "Government'-can never re-
elect the smutty and vulgar joker, who, in
an evil hour, was made President.
We met leading and prominent Re-
publican, on Thursday, from Southeastern
Ohio, who has never before failed to sup
port the nominees of his party, but who
now declares most emphatically that he
will not again vote for LINCOLN. He told
us that he knew hundreds of others in his
county and district, who felt just as he did,
and who had cast their last vote for the
party in power. He also said that FIRE.
MONT would draw an immense vote from
the Republicans in his part of the State.
His friends are neither noisy nor demon
strativc, but are quietly organizing, and
will be at the polls in strong force. Our
friend was highly gratified with the Con-
servative action of the Democratic State
Convention of Indiana, and thinks it will
tend greatly to strengthen our party; and,
in view of the probability of the same
kind of action at Chicago, he has gone to
work most actively in the good cause Of
Democracy and Restoration.
The FREMONT men are understood to be
moving with reference to State Conven-
ton and State organization. They intend
to put in nomination full State ticket as
well as an Electoral ticket. They are in
earnest and they are at work. They do moi
mean that ABRAHAM LINCOLN shall dis
grace the Chief Magistracy of the United
States during another term of four years
They have it in their power to defeat hin
and his party, and they will see that it il
done.

A Terrible Death.--FOur Children
SmOthered i'm a Chest--.The StO.
nv of the Old Oak Chest Realized.

A terrible realization of the tale of Gil
nevra, which Rogers has immortalized in
verse, was discovered in the township of
Newburg yesterday. On Wednesday after
noon last man named Schoger, living near
the Buckeye House (better known as Ed
wards Tavern), on Kinsman street road,
left the house with his wife to go into the
field to work. Their four children, aged
from two to ten years, remained at home.
On returning to the house, the parents
sought in vain for their children. Search
was made around the premises, over the
farm and through the woods, the whole
neighborhood turning out to join in it, but
without success. Yesterday morning, how
ever, their own house was searched and in
il, in an. old German chest, the children
were found, smothered to death, their faces
black from sufocation. In their play the
children had got into the chest, and, the lid
falling and the spring catching, had been
imprisoned in living tomb.

TO SUBSCRIBERS AND FRIENDS.

From and after Monday, July II, 1864,
we shall charge for THE DAILY OHIO
STATESMAN, and for The TRI-WEEKLY
STATESMAN, the prices below specified. We
have not before made any material advance
in our subscription rates. Within two
years, the cost Of publishing daily news
paper in Columbus has increased nearly
one hundred per cent. The price OF white
paper has advanced to twenty cents per
pound, and is still going up--being more
than double what it used to sell for; the
price Of type-setting is more than fifty per
cent. higher than it was; press-work is one
hundred per cent. higher; rents and fuel
have doubled, and every other item which
enters into the cost of publication has ad-
vanced in like proportion. To meet these
increased expenses, we raised the price of
advertising as much as practicable; but the
late sudden advance in the cost Of white pa
per leaves no alternative but an advance of
subscription rates. z
Twill be seen that the new scale ofprices
isian increase Of but Twenty-Five per cent.
on the old rates, while the cost of publica-
tion and of living has increased nearly four
times that amount. We purpose to return
TO the old standard of rates, whenever the
price Of sprint, and labor shall fall enough
TO render it possible. We believe that no
fair-minded reader will object to the new
rates, nor consider them more than right
and necessary under the circumstances
