The Rebel Press have raised prolonged
howl about the late raid of Fitzpatrick. They
say that be and his men when captured should
suffer death, and fully justify the treatment
Of the captured Union soldiers taken in that
expedition. This from them comes with i'll
grace since they themselves commenced the
system of the preparation of raids. Even
we're all the lies they tell of his barbaritiez
and robberies true, they have no just cause
for complaint They forget how the murder
er, thief and robber, Morgan, was toasted and
feted after his return to Richmond for his,
| what they deemed, righteous services in their
| bad cause. He traversed Indiana and Ohio
with his robber-band, stealing, piilagiug and
numbering but that was all right with them
/ He did all that for the love of the thing and
to crafty vengeful feeling of the Southern
people, and for no military advantage that
| could accrue from it. We make an effort tC
take Richmond to further the cause of tht
Union--none will deny the salutary effect 0
its capture to our cause-when 10 howl 0
vindictiye rage is raised by the miser able reb
els; and their leaders are counseled TO raise tn
block flag! The body of Col. DahIgren j
mutilated and shorn of all its valuables ant
clothing But it is useless to talk to this God
accurst rebel throrg of reason, or justice, o
equity, or even humanity. They rob anC
steal without stint, murder without conscience
and such deeds are chronieled by their paper
as glorious examples of patriotism. We at
tempt to take Richmond, a perfectly legit
innate war-measure, and are denounced as de
mons, barbarians and vandals who deserve in
Simultaneous death when captured. If til
world can produce any parable to such afro
cious Williams we should not like TO see it.

He came to the Presidency by one of those
strange happenings which men call chance.

gift which poetry and aristocracy associate
with a supreme leader of a nation. Ungainly
in form, without beauty of features, with a
manDer uncultivated even to that degree that
is common to American farmers, not point
was there for romance. With natural shrewd-
ness, with some experience in the administra-
tion of public affairs, rot skiiful, however, in
discerning or selecting men, and then too kind
always to put down tool which by mistake

coin is the homely President of bomely peo-
pie. He is honest, conscientious, single mind

Nation first, the party next, and Of himselfno
at all. Applause.1 He has been faithful IL
all political truths Of our American system
aud he has shown to the world that successfu
government is not tie mystery, not the thins
SO rare that only the privileged can enact it
but that the good administration of govern

uncommon honesty. Laughter and applause.
That is all. Instead of requiring genius, in

most politicians sacrifice in order to get gov

Nearly every loyal State in the Union has
either through its Legislature or State Con-
vention declared with almost entire unanimi-
ty in favor of the reelection of Mr.. Lincoln
to the Presidency. We have heretofore no
ticed these proceedings in most of the States.
We to-day add the emphatic expressions Of
Maine, Minnesota and Rhode Island 49,.
MAINE.-On the evening of the I'd inst.
the Union members of tie Legislature Of
Maine met in caucus, and unanimously adopt
ed the following resolution
Resolved, That, for their eminent services
to their country in the years of its greatest
peril, President Abraham Lincoln and Vice
President Hannibal Hamlin are deserving the
confidence and regard of the American peo-
pie, and that in the opinion of this Legisla-
ture, the loyal citizens of Maine desire their
| reelection to the offices which they now so
ably and faithfully fill.
M1xNEsorA.-The Union Convention of
Minnesota, held on the I'd instant, passed the
following with other resolutions:
| Resolved, 1 nat Whatever I6rl0S 81 paTQOl
or restoration may be granted to those who
have been engaged in the rebellion, no rights
or guarantees should be restored to slav cry
| which have been forfeited and destroyed by
rebellion or war.
Resolved, That we most heartily endors,
the great measures inaugurated by the Presi
dent and Administration for the suppression
Of the rebellion, the perpetuity Of the Union
and the extirpirtion Of slavery, and we recon-
mend the nomination Of Abraham Lincoln al
President of the United States for the mex
Presidential term.
RHODE IsLAND.-The General assembly G
Rhode Island have passed the following reso
lutions
Whpreqs, Abraham Lincoln, President G
the United States in the midst of the grea
trials of a civil war, begun for no other pur
pose than the extension and perpetuation o
: domestic slavery, has administered the Ma

The New York HOTELS CRowDBD.-Fhe
New York Tribune says that all the hotels
of that city are SO thronged with guests that
it is difficult to get accommodation. Scores
of travellers are daily turned away from the
doors of the principal houses and even the fam
lily and restaurant hotels are crowded. At
the Metropolitan and ST. Nicholas from 80 to
$50 cots are made up every night in the par
lors, billiard rooms and other large apartments.
A bill is now before the State Legislature to
incorporate the Grand Hotel Company with
a capital stock of half million with the priv
ilege of increasing it to seven hundred and if
ty thousand dollars. 1t is intended to build a
hotel, similar to the Hotel Louvre and Grand
Hotel in Paris, in the vicinity of Centra.
Park.

The Union triumph in New Hampshire is
even more decisive than the first reports iDdi-
Gated. Nearly complete returns show total
vote of about l 300 more than that cast last
year, and Union majority of $500. The
Legislature will stand Union-Seuate, 9,
House, 297; Democrats Senate, 8; House
ia; Union majority on joint ballot 80; last
year 53. An estimate made on careful pol
of the State previous to the election, indica-
ted Union majority of about 800; but a,
was the case in our State last fall where 6
similar test gave Union majority of $4,000
the result showed that the canvassers knew
nothing of the real strength of the Uniol
sentiment, the loyal and patriotic peopI
when they came to speak through the ballo
boxes more than thrilling the estimated ma
jorities.

The Richmond papers, as our readers know
from the quotations we have lately published,
are making ferocious outcries over the enor-
nifty of Kilpatrick's expedition, and TO give
color to their charges, have published forged
orders purporting to have been found in Col.
Dahlgren's possession. Judging by their vir-
tuous Indignation, they would now condemn
as inhuman the following genuine dispatch,
from Beauregard, Intercepted in 1861, when
the capture of Washington was the great OBJ
ject of rebel aspirations:
81 shall cross the river above Little Falls,
on Sunday at A. NJ. Signal red and white
rockets from Turner'S Hill. For Gods sake
don't fail US. Fire the city at all points
agreed on at once. Dispatch Lincoln and
Scott as you suggested and let the execution
of our plot be perfect.

REDEMPTION OF MUTmATED NOTES
may interest some of our readers to know
that postage currency can be exchanged, if
not mutiIated, with an Assistant Treasurer or
designated Depository of the United States,
in sums not less than FIVE dollars. Defaced
notes, if whole, are not considered as mutiat-
ed, DOR is evidently accidental injury, not re-
ducing the note by more than one-tenth its
original size, regarded as a mutilation. Mu-
tilated fractional notes will be redeemed at
the Treasury of the United States, at Wash
ington, in sums of not less than three dollars
of their original full face value. Any mutt
lation which destroys more than tenth of
the note will reduce its value one-ffth of it's
face. Other United States currency of one
dollar or upwards will be received at the va
rious Government Offices in payment of dues
provided their geuuineness can be ascertained
and not more than one-twentieth part missing.
To ascertain this loss the following rule is
| furnished by the Treasury Department. TAX
| ing an ordinary note, divide lis 6redth into
four aud its length into five equal parts, and
one of them will be the twentieth part laid
down in the circular. Taking fifty or TWEEN
| ty-ive cent note, divide its length into five
parts and its bredth into two, and you have
one-tenth part. In like manner divide the
five and ten cent notes. To get notes which
are badly mutiated redeemed, it is necessary
to make an affidavit that the mutilated par
has been destroyed, and send the residue tC
Washington, accompanied by testimonial o.
the good character of the afiant.
