The charge Of Judge Russell 10 tho Grand
Jury, in the Court of General Sessions, will be
found on another side of this mornings paper.
IL is mainly devoted TO the consideration of the
recent forged Proclamation, the Judge showing,
very properly, q careful anxiety for the proteo-
ton OF the freedom of the press-so great, in
deed, that no seems to have forgotten, in the
consideration Of the case, TO remind the Grand
Jury that that freedom should not be so abused
as to infringe upon the rights Of the Govern
ment. We presume it is within the experience
of Judge Russell that innocent parties are some
times arrested, aud even held for trial, where
appearances, which have deceived the most
wary officers of the law, are against them. 1t
will hardly be assorted, however, that arrests
should, therefore, never b. made till there is an
absolute certainty OF guilt lest innocent persons
should be put to temporary Inconvenience. The
publication Of the proclamation in question was
unquestionably calculated TO work great dam
age to the Government and the cause it was
bound toprotect; it was its bounden duty to dis
cover and bring to punishment the perpetrators
of the fraud, and its purpose was, in the
step it took, not to interfere with the logit-
imatc freedom of the press, but
to punish what seemed, at first sight, to be it,
gross abuse. IL arrested, AZ it turned ont, the
wrong persons, but appearances were certainly
against them at the outset, especially to those
at distance, and tho previous course of the
journals under their control had long been such
that it was not violent supposition that they
would not permit an opportunity to escape of
damaging tho Government. The suspension Of
Tho Journal of Commerce and The Borid, how
ever injudicous and unjust it may have
seemed, at tho moment, to those who
wero familiar with all the facts of the case. and

GIN. HUNTERS VICTORY.

Tho victory Of Gen. Hunter near stanton
on the Sd, is an evidence how heavily the bal
ance Of advantages in the large campaign OF
the Summer begins TO weigh on our side When
Sgel was defeated at New Market by BIeckin-
ridge Lee seems to have taken it for granted that
the Shenandoah campaign was over, and sum
moned the greater part of the Rebel force IN
the Valley TO join his main army. But he un.
derratcd the tireless persistence Of his enemy's
purpose. Gen. Grant had an object in view, and
Lee perhaps understands by this time that II
was not given up because OF one Upulsc.
When Gen. Hunter was assigned to the com
mand in West Virginia and the Shenandoah, he
set himself TO work with will TO repair dsas-
ters; and his administration Of affairs, his com
binations, his handling of forces, have shown
admirable energy aud skill. The expedition
under Crook and Averill, which had once re.
tired, again moved forward, and the line OF adj
vance up tho valley upon Stanton was resumed
with vigor which left nothing to be desired
superhuous baggage was sent TO tho rear, com
munications were abandoned, and Gen. Hunter
went forward with force and celebrity that seem
to have been equally surprising to the enemy.

HEHTIsU POLITICS.

The Belgian brings adyices that the British
Ministry barely escaped defeat on the Isl inst,
in q full HOuse Of Demonstrating ten
majority in House Of 462 members. This
division forebodes the change that cannot be far
distant. A few weeks at most will probably see
the end of the Polmerston Cabinet, which has
already received 80 many hard knocks had
80 many narrow escapes, and is in such feeble,
rickety condition generally, that it can totter
on but little longer.
Lord Palmerston, the Premier, is eighty years
old, having been born in 1874. He entered
Parliament Gas a Tory in 1907, and remained a
Tory till the breakup which followed the death
of Canning, when he supported Parliamentary
Reform, and lost Qn le3l) in consequence the
seat he had held for twenty years for the Uni
versity Of Cambridge. lie was Immediately
returned for Bletcbingly, and the next year was
elected for the southern division Of Hampshire, in
which county he has his country seat and a con-
siderable property. Oils title Of nobility is an
Irish one, and his property is principally in Ire
land. As an an Irish peer simply, no has no
seat in the House of Lords.) Being defeated
In South Hampshire in 1884, he was next yeal
elected for Tiverton, which be has represented
unintenuptedIy for the last twenty-nine years

that there is no enemy Of consequence in West
crn virginia-all troops having been swept bur
redly into Lees army, so that the two lines
of railroad which hitherto the Rebels have
guarded most zealously, are now by the pressure
of Grants operations left uncovered, and are
abandoned by the enemy almost without
struggle.
There is no news from Gen. Hunter later than
the 9th, at which time his forces were occupied
in destroying tho Virginia Central for some
distance east and west Of Stanton. The
enemy were reported to have fallen back in the
direction of Waynesboro, and it looks as II Gen.
Hunter were to advance-at least was expected
to Acknowledgement Charlottesville, thence per-
haps following the railroad line to LynchDurg'
The possession of Lynchburg, or OF some point
east of that place, is essential to tho Interrupt
ton Of Rebel communication with Richmond,
