Withdrawal Of Fremont.

BDsTos, Sept %. The following letter of
Gen, Fremont, Withdrawing as a candidate for
the Presidency, is published IO-dayt
BosToN, Sept. 2l-Gentlemen; ftel it my
duy to make one step more in the direction
indicated in my letter Of the 25lh of August,
and withdraw my name from the list of candi-
;es
The presidential campaign has in effect beNn
entered upon in such way that the union Of
the republican party has become permanent
necessity. The policy of the democratic party
signifies either separation or re-establishment
with slavery. The Chicago platform is simply
separation. Gen. MeClellau's letter of ac-
csptance is -re-establiskmsnt with slavery
The republican candidate on the contrary ia
pledged to the re.estahlishment Of the Union
without slavery, and however hesitating bis
policy may be, the pressure of his party will
we may hope, force him to it.

Pressure. Fremont kOOws by experience how
to put pressure on Lincoln. 10 his second letter
he proposes to bring the pressure to bear 10 the
old way. He treats Mr. Lincoln most contemptu-
ously by talking about pressing big. Every ono
remembers how Mr.. Lincoln wrote TO Mcclellan,
that the political pressure for Fremont was SO
strong that he conld not resist il, and had so with
draw Esma of the army from the peuinsElG cam

can be pressed to any radical extreme and, knoS-

and other men who have denounced him in open
and violent terms, seem to think 1t may do to try
to re-olect him, Rupsst to bs pressed in any
direction. We rospsetifully submit to Intelligent
men this question:-can Mr.. Lincoln be 6t man

General John A.. Dir. NaO YoSk: sheridan's
victory proves to be signal and complete
Nothing bat the coming Of night appears to
have saved even remnant Of Early's army.
The following dispatches Of General Steven
sons and Major General Sheridsn's oficial re-
port to General Grant gives the particulars
thus far received:

Uaitsd States, cGty POiat:--I have the honor 10
report that have achieved most signal vio-
tory over the army of Gen. Early, at Fishers
Hill to dsy.
l found the rebel army posted with lite right
resting on the north fork of the Shenandoah,
and extending across the strasburg valley vest
ward to North Mountain, occupying position
which appeared almost impregnsble.
After good deal Of mau@uvriug during the
day, Gen. Crooks command was transferred to
the extreme right Of the line on the North
Mountain, aud he furiously attacked the left Of
the enemyis line, carrying everything before
him. While Urook was driving the enemy in
the greatest ooafusion, and sweeping and driv-
ing them behind their beastwOrks, the 9Th and
10Th Army Corps attacked the rebel works in
front, and the whole rebel army appeared to
bo broken up. ff fftsF 4
They fed in the utmost confusion. Sixteen
pieces of artillery were captured; also great
many cAissons, artillery horses, otc.. etc..
am tonight pushing on down the valley.
cannot say how many prisoners have cap
tured, nor do know either my own or the
eLemy's casualties. Only the darkness sAsed
the whole Of Early's army from total destrne-
tion.
My attack could not be made until four ,'eloek
in the evening, which left but little daylight to
operate in.
The first and third cavalry divisions went
down the Ldrsy Valley to-day, and il they
push vigorous to the main valley, the result Of
the day's engagement will be still more signal.
The victory was very complete.
A more detailed report will be made as soon
as can obtain the necessary data.
p. H. SHERIDAN, Mpj. Gen. Commanding.
1t will be remembered that Early's command
embraced the stouewall Brigade. and troops
constituting .stopewal Jaekson's Corps and
was the elite of the rebel army.

coSoEssioEs OF TEE EHExy.-The New xork

General Mcclellan and of the Union, eoncedes
that our standard-bearcr will probably carry ak
States. The Tribune says:
General Msclsllan's letter has improved h,a
prospects. His party will of course be beaten In
Maine, but we think not SO badly as they wero
last year, whereas in Vermont they were beaten
decidedly worse than last year. We Judge that
be cannot be elected, unless the rebels should win
two OF three stunning victories; but, running on
his letter as platform, be will poll q good vote
in nearly every State, and probably carry Eve or

The Ignorance, incOmpetency, and corruption
of Mr. Liucoln's administration have cost the
country as much In three years as George
Washington and all the succeeding presidents,
down to james Buchanan, were able to spend
in eiehty'seven years. although the nation paid
for three costly wars during that period. Can
