LIE statement tnoI comes from Genera
'GTnnt's department, through reliable chan
ncis to the Cincinnati ComMerciG that Gene,
al Grant will not allow himself to be mad
the tool Of copperheads by Presideutia
nomination at their hands Is only contlrma
tory Of evidence Of like nature received ftoD
other sources entitled to credit, He vIshe
70 end tho war by crushing the rebellion. H.
If most unlikely to put himself into the hand,
ef those whose chief aim and desire now is *
'end the war BY patching up the cause Of tht
rebellion. Gen. Grant is in favor of thor
ocgh work, and the peace men Will ind hin
quite averse to lending the endorsement o1
Lis name and fame to their schemes.
Capt E. B. Ward of Detroit is ont In q
lengthy and complete denial Of the recent
charge in the Coppc1hcad Frs Pness Of that
city that he had swindlcd the Government
ont Of &C, 600 in settlement with raIlroad
company.
The Mexican news Of this morning Is 70
luminous md from two sources, by way Of
Havana md from Sun Francisco. There had
been more sharp fighting and the advantage
generally had been with the French. The cause
oftle Empire is claimed as growing. Allow
ancc is to be made for the channels Of 1ntcllf-
gencc controlled By those directly in interest
to have ii 90.
Without being put In full possession Of all
the features Of the Senatorial election in the
hsnsas Legislature, whereby Gov. Carney is
chosen to supersede J. H. Lane as United
States Senator, it is sufficiently certain both
from the tenor OF our 1caycnworth dispatch
elc" "hcrc, and from our Kansas exchanges,
Tint the Whole matter is informal and cxtra-
Ordinary, and sure to awaken storm of in
dignntion throughout that State. The parties
to the measure resortcd to the gay Inv to
accomplish tAcir ends, and In the luce of
vigorous protests sent in from the people.
Speaking Of the election which it regarded a.
Inevitable, the Leaycnworth Conservative Of
tie 9Th, consoles Itself thus:
After Carney gets elected, the next thing will be
tor llfin TO get his Scat As no MAN ever did ret
1nto tue Senate under SIMILAR circumstances, il is
no, neiieycd @ That an exception will be made in
We saw ycsterday letter from m intc1li-
gent resident in Northern Germany to bis
brother in this city, in which the writer un-
e4uivoca1ly dcclured That the eympatbics OF
thut part Of Europe, among all classes OF
1.eople, were SO strongly with the North in
th's struggle that hc must needs be bold
mum who darcs openly to ayow himself in
ieyor Of the rebel cuuse Tie tide Inns set
strongly against the man stealers and women
wliprers abroad, whose grlels md sufraringe
excite no more pity than would the misad-
ventures Of pirates or banditti on smaller
scale.
The attention excited By tlcnew gold fields
Of the Vest will give importance at this time
to tic careful aud elaborate review of the
mineral riches Of Nevada given by Gov Nye
in his recent message to the Legislature Of
tfiat Territory, which portion We copy else
"hcre. Readers unfamiliar with or not pos
sessing the later maps which alone give
tue location aud boundaries Of the
Territory will best realize it, in this
connection, by the statement that
it is in the eamc range with Utah, and living
between Utah and California. Governor Nye
states tint population is rapidly pouring in;
taxable property within the year has incrcas~
cd from nine millions to twenty five millions;
s1s, coo coo in gold and silver bullion WIS pro-
duced and shipped last year; in the same Pc !
rod, SIX companies Of cavalry and one regi- !
mcnt Of infantry hare enlisted into the army
OF tut United States, and there has been q
complete organization Of the Territorial mill
tia- Gov Nye refers to the Pacltlc Railroad |
measure, and urges Its local and national i'm t
portance, and closes with IN eloquent and |
fcrvid reference to the war for the Union.
Gen Butler Is bound to make himself a
most dreadfn1 ogre among adhercnts OF the p!
peculiar institution. Think of Ills establish |
ing the Massachusetts, tree school system, for
blacks, at Norfolk, on the very soil of State |
where not long ago woman suffered isno-
zninious punishment for the offence Of teach |
ing negroes to rcad.
Our Arkansas dispatches give accounts Of |
the ovation which welcomed Gen. Curtis ut /
Fort Smith. That gallant officer, and rig-
orous hater Of the rebellion; deserves no
less.
Tic news from Gen. Grants department
INDUCES in significant hints Of important
events about TO transplrc- There ia abundant
reason to believe TINT this is not to be IN idle
winter for our army East or West. The
campaign Of the year has already begun.
