THE TRIBUNE.

Notwithstanding the enormously increased
expenses attending the publication of lHE
TRIBUNE, occasioned by the employment
of numerous army correspondents and o'her
liberal expenditures, as we'll as by the ad-
vance in the price of paper and other materials we
have resolved for TIE present at least not to H.
crease the subscription prices of either our Weekly
or Semi Weekly papers, but to continue TO furnish
them at g. and s., respectively, per annum; beng
the same prices which were established more than
twenty wears ago, when the cost was only abont
one.third of what it is at the present time. Our
Terms will be found below and we wish it to be dis
fnctly understood that 10 these Terms VIII De
strictly and literally adhered to- and that no other
attachments or discounts than those mentioned VIII
be allowed in any case whatever.

suERIDAN,s PURSUIT.

Official dispatches and our special dispatches
bring news from Sheridan down to yesterday.
The Rebels made some sort of stand shortly
beyond Strasburg, but seem to have been driven
from their position, or at any rate were dislodged
from the crest Of hill which was a strong part
of their line. Cavalry meanwhile are pressing
upon their flank and rear, and their magazines
at Woodstock arc exposed to capture if Early
still attempts to hold Strasburg. Dashing Phil
Sheridan is not the man to give moments rest
to the flying army he has once beaten, and we
rest content in the belief that he will press Early
to the utmost.
The prisoners already taken are computed atno
less than 1900, and the total loss to the en-.
envy is one-third Of their whole army. They lost
nine generals-three killed, six wounded. Par
ticulars will be found in our special dispatch.
Altogether, no victory in this war surpasses the
present in completeness, and considering the
numbers engaged, none surpasses 1t in impor-
lance and probable results. For webelieye that

Sheridan means now to make clean work Of the


Shenandoah Valley. Early'S is surely one OF
the worst beaten armies that the Rebellion has
vet seen, and cannot possibly be equal to the
task of holding the Shenandoah against the I'M
petuous advance Of its victorious adversary.
Indeed its only hope of delaying its own retreat
is by Selling the gaps and passes on the East
but we already have news that Sherldans cav
airy are dashing down Luray Valley east oil the
isolated mountain ridge that reaches from Stras-
burg to Harrisonburg, and We may readily inier
that this thanking force will cross the Shenandoah
river By the Luraj bridge, and hold the ROAD
which through the Luray gap debouchcs upon
Newmarket. And if that position once
turned there is nothing left to the Rebels THIS
side of the broken country to the southeast OF
uarrisonbure, the country which has already
witnessed the battles of Port Republic, OF Cross
KEYS and of Piedmont. II is there, II anywhere
that Early will make a fight for the possession
of Stanton, and especially for the mountain
gaps and the roads which lead to Gorconsvllle'
Charlottesville and Lynchburg. Already, there
fore has begun the struggle for the line OF retreat
and of supply, which is the last but one remain
ing to the army defending Richmond.

At the Union meeting in the Brooklyn
Academy Of Music last evening, the appear
ance of Fighting Joe Hooker OH the platform
was the signal for an outburst OF enthusiasm
such as never before was witnessed in that
building. The crowded assembly, of which
at least a third were ladies, sprans
involuntarily to their feet, cheer rising upon
cheer, the ladies making the air white with
handkerchiefs, and gentlemen waving their
hats. The hero of many battles bowed his ac-
and after repeated calls re-
sponded in brief speech, having the true ring,
and unoualifedly for the Government. Speeches
were also made by the Hon. Henry Wilson, COL
Hartman, the Hon. Geo. W. Boutwell,, and
Geo. William Curtis. There were also large
outside meetings.

formally and peremptorily withdrawn from the

President respectively on the Cleveland Plat
form. They still firmly adhere to tho disiine-
tive views set forth in that Platform, and Gen.
Fremont evinces that his condemnation Of Mr..
Lincoln's policy on important points Is most
decided; but, in view Of the Chicago Platform
and ticket, aud Of the inevitable consequences
of their triumph, he cannot consent to be a
means of dividing and weakening tho foes Of
Slavery and Usunion. On the contrary, while
cherishing and proclaiming his convictions on
the well-known points of difference between
him and President Lincoln, he refuses to allow
the further use Of his name TO divide and dis
tract the loyal, liberty-lovng majority of the
American People Regarding Mr. Lincoln's
election as now assured, he urges the Radicals
TO persistence in their efforts to place the gov
eminent wholly and earnestly on the side Of
uncompromising Loyalty and Impartial Free
dom.
Gen. Cochrane's letter il less censorious, but
reaches like conclusion.
| Wo have never doubted that Gen. Fremont
proved devotion to Freedom and Progress would
ultimately ovcrbear all personal considerations.
In this faith, we have regretted the unkind and
discourteous allusions to his attitude which
have been suffered to appear in the editorial
columns of certain Administration journals-al-
usions which have, doubtless, provoked the
disparaging terms in which he refers to the Presi-
dent. 1t will not be easy, in view of these
terms. to pretend that Gen. F. has declined I'M
der the expectation of thereby commenting
himself to office or favor at the hands Of the
present Administration. Still, his Withdrawal
from the canvass is wise, timely, auspicious
and we believe it assures even the vote OF Ms
souri, to Lincoln and johnson. We may and do
differ in our estimates Of men and measures, but
the heart of the gallant leader in 56 Of the Re-
publican host still beats true to the cause OF
Universal Freedom.

POLITICS AND POLISH.

Having read with considerable interest the
late letter of Mr. Reverdy johnson, in which he
announces his intention Of supporting General
George because he likes his manners, and OF
opposing Mr.. Lincoln because he does not like
his manners, we beg leave to congratulate the
United States of America, upon the possession
of so Cbesterfeldian q parsonage. NO less
should've rejoice at the willingness Of so refined
q gentleman as Mr.. Revcrdy johnson to mix at
all in The coarse and vulgar squabbles OF Amen
can politics, and to perfume them BY the pres
ence of his nice nobility. Mr.. Turveydrop, in
Bleak House. would have been delighted 10
know MI. Reverdy Johnson. Together they could
have struck out inventions of polish.
We do not question Mr.. Johnson's assertion
that General George is an extraordinarily we'll
bred persons and quite indsposed to hurt the feel
ings of single human being. The Shareholders
are VIGOROUSLY great judges Of manners, and we
know that such is their opinion Of the General.
Whether. if elected, he could save this country
by series of gracefully executed bows, is
question for jury OF dancing masters.
| 1t must in justice to Mr.. Lincoln be remem'
bercd that while General George was caught
early, and educated in the elegancies at the ex-
pcnse Of the nation, the President was CALAMITY
! fighting adverse fortune and making his way,
tooth and nail, through the thIekets of poverty
and obscurity II he lacks those charming
manners which Mr. Reverdy johnson considers
to be absolutely necessary in President, he is
only in the position of about nne-tenths OF his
fellow citizens, who in this busy country and
busting age. have found no leisure in which to
WOO the graces If he is not always dignifed,.
if his free and easy manners sometimes shock
the buckram gentlemen Of the circumlocution
school Of politics, he may have other qualities,
such as truth, honesty, fidelity to the Constitu-
ton, which should be regarded as compensa-
tons We cannot expect everything for 1000
per annum If we get the useful, we can well
spare the ornamental.
As for General George, we suppose there never
was such another prodigy, except Marshal SAKE,
Alcibiades the Earl Of Peterborough, and a few
morefcllows Of that sort. Alexander Pope wrote
the following recipe for " the manners of a.
hero;" take all the best qualities you can find
in all the celebrated heroes Of antiquity; if they
will not be reduced to consistency, lay them all
in heap upon him. We suppose the friends OF
General George must have heard of this prescrip-
tion-at least they appear to be acting upon 1t.
Il was said that God gave to Bishop Berkley
4 arr
credit the Copperhcads, Providence has been ct
this benign but exceptional, work again; and
this time, instead of q Bishop, has selected a
Major-General as the recipient of its beneii-
cence. II has given not only goodness, but
greatness, and not only greatness, but grace,
early piety, indomitable courage and polish.
No wonder, Rcyerdy johnson is charmed and
adorcs. No wonder if good many other old
ladies' follow his example
