Coming Together.

1t is curious to watch the Copperheads
and Fremonters, and see how, starting from
the most antagonistic points possible, they
gradually approach each other, like two bod
les drawn together by common attraction.
AS illustrating this process we give coup
lie Of extracts. First, from the New York
World, which says,
Fremont is unequivocaIly for Free
Speech, Free Press, the Right of Asylum,
the Monroe doctrine, and the Guarantees Of
Personal Liberty. There is nothing in
the Slavery question to be weighed for one
moment against these So far as the rad
icals consent to stand upon the principles
of the Cleveland platform, they have bond
Of sympathy with the Democratic party
and with all true patriots.
Next from the Nea0 Nation, the Fremont
organ in New York, and edited by one of
his staff. 1t says;
'There is so little difference bet Eeen his
party and the Democratic party that it
would be easy to adopt a common ticket
which would sweep everything before it."
And yet Gen. Fremont, between whom
and 'the Democratic party" there sis so
little difference" had the impudence to die
tate to the Union Convention whom it should
nominate to run against the Democratic
party" Toledo Blade.

Postponed,

The Natl onal Democratic convention that
was to have assembled at Chicago on the
4th of July, has been postponed to the 9th
of August.
The object of this postponen,ent, we pre-
sumo, was not so much to prevent desc
Grafton Of the anniversary of american indie
.pendence, asto prevents / premature disrup-
ton of the democratic party. The one, sole
principle of the present democratic party is
expressed in the sole object of the party
the defeat of Abraham Lincoln. HJu best to
secure that object is the only study of its
politicians. At the present time it was found
impossible to decide upon the most likely
course to effect that object. A month or two
might entirely change the aspect of affairs,
and make what might be decided to be the
best policy, at the present time, the worst
thing they could do. Hence the postpone
ment of the convention. Meantime sort of
coquetting can be kept up with the candi-
dates of the Cleveland convention and their
supporters, by which the Union of the forces

srcresnry Stanton.

The New York Times says:
Secretary Stanton has been the best abused
man ofthe war. Many Of the disasters have
been fathered upon him, and very, few of
the victories have been put to his credit by
the public estimation. Without discussing
the exact value of his services to the coun-
try,it is worth while to consider occasionally
one grand fact which is almost forgotten by
the public, and yet which must rebound in
history especially to the credit Of his adj
ministIation. We mean the wonderful or
ganization by which our immense armies
are kept constantly supplied with food, cloth
ing, ammunition and weapons.
I'VE had in the Secretary dispatch, reeeiv
ed on Tuesday, a brief record Of a single
weeks administration in the War Depart
ment. Within eight days after the great
battle Of Spottsylvauia Court House several
thousand-probably some twenty, five thou
saud--veteran troops We're forwarded to Gen.
eraI Grant, and during the same time rations
sufficient for his who lie immense army were
supplied him. Twenty thousand sick and
!, ounded were transported from the field
TO the Washington hospitals and placed mn
der surgical care. Over eight thousand pri,
soners were conveyed from the held to pri-
son UeDOLS, ana a Vast amount OF artillery
and weapons, won from the enemy, Were
brought away. Several thousand fresh cav
airy horses were forwarded to the Army of
the Potomac, and many thousand reinforce
meuts, with arms and ample supplies, were
sent 20 the other armies in the field. Dur
ing the same week fresh army of thirty
thousand volunteers was mustered into the
service and transported to their respective
positions.
1--WE submit that no military department,
not even Napoleon's when he commanded
the resources of most of Europe, ever show
ed better weeks work.
..Now, wherever individually the credit
Of this mastery organization may lie, his
torically it will be ascribed to the War De-
partment History we'll show that during
great war millions of men Were armed,
equipped, fed and transported with silent
regularity and pronptness to which only
the longest experience in military organiza-
ton can usually attain; and for this the ma
ton has reason to be devoutIy thankful"
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1864-06-30

can be brought about, when it is determin-
ed which party stands the best chance of
success.
Democrats declare that, as their only OBJ
iect is to defeat Lincoln, they can see no OBJ
lection to doing that with Fremont, if it is
found that he is the most available candi-
date to do it with. Fremont, not to be out
done in liberality, declares that he is not
anxious to be a candidate rather
help somebody else to defeat Lincoln than d 0
it himseIf-in short Fremont and his friends
will not insist on standing in the way of a
more available candidate, if one can be found.
This postponement, it is thought, will be
fatal to the aspirations Of the ''young Ma
poleon"-ic hero of the Chickahominy
swamps. And it is even limited that that was
one Of the strong reasons for. the postpone
ment The real Peace democrats have got it
into their heads that he is too much ola war
rior for their purposes, while the war dem
ocrats, with much better reason, think
he is too slow altogether. Thus between the
two stools that he tries to sit on, he will
probably sit on the floor.
1t is plain to see that the democracy in its
time-serving policy, is afraid to declare it
self at the present time and has postponed
the convention with Micawbers hope that
something will turn up" between this and

New YORK, June 27
The New York Irjbmse'S special from the
army Of the Potomac, Saturday 18th, in the
forenoon, says; During two hours yester-
day morning, from six to eight, the earth
trembled to the thunder of more than 100
cannon. Badly Smith was attacked 1t will
be remembered that he holds a position
next to the Appomattox, within less than a
mile of the city His line stretches along a
plain at right angles with the river, while
the rebels have undisturbed possession of
the bank opposite and long distance in the
rear. On that bank they suddenly uncovered
60 guns, and subjected the 18th corps to an
enflading fire and a reverse fire. At length
the enemy attacked with musketry as well
as cannon, and they very foolshly moved
their line upon our works The force has
since been ascertained to have been Hay

the rebels were obliged to surrender"
