1t appears that Lieut.. Col. Bowman. late
Superintendent Of the Military Academy at
West Point. has been dismissed by the Sec
rotary Of War for the objectionable offence
Of having invited Gen. Mcclellan to deliver
the address on the late interesting occasion
Mt the Academy, Of the laying Of the corner
stone Of a monument to the West Point
soldiers who have fallen or may fall IN this
war for the life Of the nation. Gen. Nc
Clellan, as West Point sol lier, distin-
guished for his services in this war and in
the Mexican war, fine scholar, Christian
gentleman, favoritc with the army and
the people, was certainly proper man on
this occasion for orator Of the day. Ills
beautiful and patriotic address establishes
this fact. Yet, for this very natural mark
Of respect to Gen. Mcclellan, Col. Bowman
is removed from West Point, in consequence
Of the implacable hostility Of the Secretary
Of War to Gen. Mcclellan. This disgrace
full proceeding President Lincoln surely can
not sanction. He will act wisely in turning
Mr.. Stanton adrift, and in putting Gen. Nc
Clcllan in his place. On the other hand,
the Endorsement by Mr.. Lincoln Of this dis
reputable act Of petty tyranny and vindic-
tive punishment on the part Of his man
Stanton will bc apt to prove in the end. so
far IS the President is concerned, one Of the
most scrions Of all the blundcrs Of his Ad-
miniStration.- J. Herald,

a strange and peculiar case was brought
to light by the Provost Marshal yestcrt ay
young Mr.. o., resident Of Maids or

uncle, residing near Richmond, for some
weeks past The uncle's household was
presided over by young and rather hand

aunt. lie worsl6ppcd at the shrine Of her
beauty, and made her his divinity. lie de-
clared his passionate loved, and was loved
in return. The uncle surmised that all was
not right. and looked upon his wife and
nephew with jealous ewes. 1t was long be-
Fore he could convince himself that the part
nes OF his bosom and mother of his three
children was false to his love and honor.
The facts were too plain the truth became
more apparent each day. The storm was
gathering. and soon must burst in all its
fury: The guilty pair grew fearful, and de
cided to flee to some far, unknown land,
where they could enjoy their mutual love in
peace and sweet retirement from the busy
world and the tongue Of scandal. The faith
less wife made every preparation FOR the
journey. On Monday morning the two
horse carriage was called to the door. and
she informed her husband that she was 90
ing to drive to Richmond to make a few
necessary purchases. The nephew took
seat by her side, and soon they were whirl.
ing into the county town. They visited
several of the stores, and the wife, on the
credit Of her husband, made purchases to
the amount Of $500. Re- entering the car.
rage. they took the road for Louisville. aud
arriving at late hour in the evening. they
registered themselves as man and wife at
the st. Cloud Hotel. Their object was to
dispose Of the horses and carriage in the
morning, and take the train for the North.

'lhc Great Fremont Ratification

could boast of in any time past
The Eeentng Post, republican, in its re-
port says:
The Fremont and Cociranc ratification
meeting at Cooper Institute last night was
large.
The Tribune says:
The Fremont ratification meeting at Coop.
or Institute last evening was very respect
able in numbers, and seemed to be quite
enthusiastic. The speakers were the Rev
DIR. Orestes 4. Brownson, Hon. John Coch-
ranc, and Mr.. Clcburnc of Missouri. The
resolutions rcafiirmcd the Cleveland Plat
form, and were particularly severe upon
that Of the Baltimore Convention.
The Times, Mr. I.incoln's special organ,
says:
The Fremont ratification last night was
respectfully large, and reasonably enthusi-
astic
The World democratic, speaks thus Of
the affair:
The Fremont meeting at Cooper Institute
last evening was decided success, far sur
passing in magnitude and thusiasm Of the
Lincoln meeting held there some evenings
since. The hall Of the Institute was MOI
only crammcd, hut crowds Of some thou
sands remained outside, where stands hat
been erected, beautifully Illuminated viii
many colorcd lanters and transparcncics.-
Fireworks were burned and served to in
crease the attractyeness Of the scene.
From these extracts it will be seen tim
the movement which the Lincolnitcs aiicc
to regard as Of no account, makes demon
stration in the great metropolis never sur
passed by the gatherings of any politica
party We commend this fact to the at
tcntion of such as labor under the impress
sion that Fremont has no party TO support
him. lie is not like Lincoln spending three
or four millions of dollars Of the people S
money every day, and thereby securing the
noisy, loud-mouthcd support of stipendiary
editors and mcrcenary camp followers, but
he hasa hold upon the people upon a grca,
and powerful element Of the Republican
party which is quietly organizing, as i,
will in due time dcvclopc its strength One
thing is certainly proved beyond dispute
whether those Republicans engaged in the
Fremont movement are sincerely for Ere
mont or not, they are certainly ogains
