"HoNEsr OLD ABE" has, given his chiei
presidential rival (FREMoNT) an unhand'
some cognomep, which is likely to stick to
him for wears to come. The story is thus
told in q letter addressed by EL1zUR
WRIGHT to Boston paper:
After the retirement of Fremont was
present at a conversation with. the Pres
ident. when he was urged to place Fremont
in active service, either in the remote
South. with view to making the most OF
colored troops, or to replace Stanley, the
reactive military governor of North Caro-
lima. The President expressed the highest
respect for the character, talents, and pa
triotism Of General Fremont, gave not the
slightest hint that he looked upon his mill
tary career as failure though it had just
been lauded before him, and stated as the
SOLE reason for not giying him command
suitable to the rank of his commission, that
he soas "bespattered retormsr." The latter
were the exact words he used. Everybody
knows what they meant, and where the
mud came from the reformer 80 unaccept-
able to Mrs. Grundy of the border states.
Is it not nearly time for tae same reason
that sent Fremont out of the service to send
him in again.
It Yves these contemptuous epithets which
has doubtless stung Fremont into open
oppositior to the Lincoln dynasty. The
sbespattcred rcformer' is trying to split bis

AFTER the Battle of Gettysburg q rebel
prisoner asked clean shirt for his young
comrade whose fresh but blood stained
bandages told of recent amputation just
above the knee.
One of the Sanitary Commission gave the
shirt but said the boy must first be washed;
"who will do that" 'Oh, any of those
women yonder." A kind looking woman
from Philadelphia was asked if she was
willing to wash rebel prisoner. "Certain
w." was her prompt reply, ~ have a son
in the Union army, and 1 would like to have
somebody wash him" .-l4
With towel and water in tin basin she
cheerfully walked through the mud to the
tent. Careful not to disturb his amputated
leg, she gently removed the old shirt and
began to wash him, but the tenderness of
mothers heart was at work, and she be-
gan to cry over him, saying that she mag
ined she was washing her own son. This
was more than she could bear. He too,
began to weep and to ask God to bless her
for kindness to him. The scene was too
much for the bystanders and they left the
northern mother and the southern son to
their sacred grief, wishing that tears could
blot out the sin of this rebellion and the
blood Of this unnatural war

THE Particulars HAD Nor TRANSFERRED
The latest Richmond papers on hand
state that their War Office had received q
despatch If a sharp engagement at Spots
ylvania Court House on Thursday last, but
/, the PARTICULARS had not transpired. These
particulars were the capture by ''the Yam.
kpeso of some eight thousand prisoners,
eighteen pieces of artillery, &c. We guess
that, as these prisoners could not get the
information desired at Richmond, and that
as their comrades left behind in Lees army
did not know what had become of them,
Gen. Lee had no particulars to give of their
mysterious disappearance. ...
That reminds US Of the dispatch from

Tue temporary suppression Of the New

York World and 10 ynal Of Commerce, Tor
the publication of the forged proclamation
of the President is wrong that should not
he suffered to pass without rebuke. Inc
government has acted like rash and an
erv man who, when incented, strike in blind
iurv those within his reach, without wait
inc to consider whether they be the guilty
ones or not. No person who has consider
al all the circumstances of the case' can
believe that either the World or the Journal
of Commerce, had anything to do with the
creation of the forgery They were made
the innocent tools Of some designing knave,
and were utterly unconscious of the fraud
which had been perpe,rated upon them, and
the country at large. And yet these two
newspapers are made the victims OF adih'n''
istrative fury, and are stricken down with
ont even an inquiry, as to whether they
were guilty Or innocent.
It'll true that great crime was commit"
ted by the man who issued the forged proc
lamation. The highest prerogatlve OF the
chief officer of a great nation, has been
usurped; public confidence in the stability
Of the government, was, for time almost
overthrown; and the reliability OF all the
despatc hes, which arc so eagerly sought for,
and which exercise such an important IN
fllence in affairs of business. or ofintorma-
ton, is almost destroyed. No punishment
can be too severe for the man who has per-
petrated the fraud, but, in the name OF JUS
ticc. We protest against the punishment OF
innocent men. If the Uorld and the Jour
nal of Commerce. are guilty of deliberate,
conscious and preconcert"d attempt to palm
upon the public base forgery, let them be
punisbcd to the full extent of the law. But
let their guilt be established first.
The true ammus of the proceedings
against these newspapers is to be founI IN
the fact that they oppose Oh" policy OF the
Administration 1t is, by some silly per
sons, argued that tho papers in question
are certainly guilty of forgery, because for
soo,h they are called "coppcrhead sheets"
Is any person verdant enough to suppose
that il the Tribune had been duped. like
ITS contemporaries, and published the pro
clamation, that it. too. would have been
suppressed? That the World and the
.Jouynalo of Commerce were Induced to pub
lish what they knew to be false, by their
hostility TO the Administration is suf1i.
GENTLY disproved by the fact that the same
forgery was taken to the office of the Daily
Nc,cs, paper tenfold m5re bitter and un
relenling in its hostility to the party in
p,wer than either of the Others and was
rejected because they happened to have an
opportunity of detecting the falsehood,
The assumption that it was published from
any motives Of dSloyalty or any desire to
weaken the government is simply absurd
We trust that the restriction now placed
upon the two journals who have been made
the victims of double crime may be
speedily removed and strict justice demands
that PREPARATION be made them for ali the
injury the government has inflicted by its
exceedingly hasty and i'll advised action.

FROM RICHMOND.
RICHMOND, Sept. 30.-An official dis
patch received tonight says: "An at
tempt was made this afternoon to retake
Battery Harrison, which, though partly
successful, failed in completion. The
artillery firing preceding the assault was
distinctly audible in all parts of the city.
Kautz's cavalry, who were on the nine
mile road last night, went back early this
morning. In the attempt to take Battery
Gilmor yesterday the Yankees put their
negro troops in front, and large numbers
of them were killed.
R{cHMoND, Oct. NO attempt to car
ry Battery Harrison by assault has been
reported to-day. The firing this afternoon
below Richmond exceeded, in rapidity
and volume of sound, any cannonading
heard in this city since the commence
ment of the war, and produced q lively
excitement. The cause of the firing was
the approach Of Kautz's cavalry towards
