MOVEMENT OF GEN. THOMAS Army
A correspondent of the New York
Times, in Speaking Of the new move.
ment of Gen. Thomas, SAYS:
The number of cavalry engaged in
this great expedition Ia stated In the
Western papers at 10000, including
mounted Infantry, but the force may
not be as large as this The distin-
guished cavalry leader, Gen. Wilson, IL
In command. The distance from East
port to Mobile IL about three hundred
miles, through country easily traversed:
and Gen. Sherman has stated under his
own signature, for the information OF
the army that sufficient forage can be
had on the line OF the march. The cav.
airy can probably make twenty to
twenty five miles day, and the cam
paign, If continuous. would thus occu-
py from fifteen to twenty DAYS.
1t IL by far the largest expedition of
this character Of the war and It's con.
ditiOns and prosperity have been 50
thoroughly canyassed in advance. that
no doubt whatever Ia entertained Of its
complete success
The demOraliSd condition OF Dick
Taylor's Gate HoOd's) army at Tupelc
not over 10000 strong, takes 1t away IS
an element of danger
The intense animOsitY OF the peopIs
OF Alabama and Mississippi against the
rebel government and authorities,
known TO amount almost to revolution,
makes the prospect of the campaign
good in that respect. 1t will probably
be even freer from harrsssment than
sherman's campaign through Georgia.
The opening of the Alabama and
TOmbigbce rivers, and the occupation Of
Selma, Montgomery and Mobile, vii
virtually complete our military work IN

EXCHANGE or PRIseEBRs-GRNG RANT's
STATRMENT.-Gen. Grant was before the
congressional war committee on Satur-
day, and testified as to the renewal OF
exchanges In answer to Il question as
to the truth Of the report that he is
charged entirely with the exchange of
prisoners, he said
That is correct, and, what is more,
have effected an arrangement for the
exchange OF prisoners, man for man, and
officer for officer, or his equivalent &C
Cording to the old cartels, until one or
the other party has exhausted the num-
Der they now hold. get a great many
letters daily from friends of prisoners in
the South, every one of which l cause
to be answered telling them that this
arrangement has been made, and that
suppOse~exchanges will be made at
the rate Of 1000 per week, and just as
fast as they can deliver prisoners to us
l will receive them and deliver their
prisoners to them, and the Salisbury
prisoners win be coming right on. l
myself saw Col. Hatch, the assistant
commissioner of exchange on the part
of the South, and he told me that the
Salisbury and Danville prisoners would
be coming right on at once. He said
that he could bring them on at the rate
Of 5000 or 5000 a week.

Town MEETING. - We publish this
morning two acts passed by the last Lee
gislature, which are Of great interest to
the legal voters Of our town. These
acts have before appeared in our col
umns, but we r0oubhsh them now for the
special purpose OF directing the atten-
tlon Of the people of the town 10 them
In connection with call for Town
Meeting which will also be found in this
paper, The meeting is called to see
whether the town will vote TO accept
the provisions OF one OF these acts, viz {;
the "Act to Prevent Illegal Voting ~
this course being rendered necessary by
the act itself before it can apply to our
town elections We republish both the
acts, because while one provides for q
new method Of electing town officers,
the other provides who shall vote on the
question of adopting that method.
will be seen that the town meeting
is to be held at the Town Hall in this
village on the 25th of this month, at
2 o'clock, P. NJ, and we hope to see
every legal voter in town meeting pres
ent on that occasion.
We shall take occasion to speak Of the
provisions Of this law more at length
when we have more space, only saying at
this time, in general way, that in our
judgment they are such as will commend
themselves to the approval Of all who
Dave an interest in wise and economi-
cal administration Of our town affairs.

The CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT IN
KENTucKY.-The louisville Journal, so
long known for it's intense conservative
(of slavery views, now comes ont in
favor of an immediate ratification of the
Constitutional Amendment abolishlng
slavery At the close Of recent arti-
Gle, it says
THE rebellion Is bound to disappear
before the overwhelming power Of the
Federal armies, and the slavery system
for the maintenance of which the war
was ostensibly commenced, ia to pass
away by the solemn fiat of the nation.
Here in Kentucky slavery exists only as
a nominal institution. II is no longer
Il source Of value, and II would he worse
than folly for the State 10 make strug-
gle for its preservation Our present
Legislature fairly looking the future
the irresistible future--in the face,
should not ssrgleet to ratify the ossti slavery
amendment. If the present Legislature
do not adopt this course, the merit s0iN.
Kentucky is bound to become a free
State through the eAotos Of Ary osoa psoogs,
and delay in settling the question can
only complicate the process by which
she will reach that destiny"

It's editorial articles on the stirring questions of

spirit Of the people Of that section as well as the
high opinion they have of the resources and adj

The war, which has changed every thing. has
changed all things. Slavery destroyed, the peo-
pie who five years ago shrunk at the word pro-
gresss hated emigrants and repealed all who
would have been glad to come to them with in
dustry and wealth in their train, now eagerly
look for and cordially welcome emigration, and
receive new corners with hearty consideration
which shows the return Of wisdom. To the
people OF New England there is no State itpthe
South OF more sterling attraction than Maryland.
With climate always temperate and healthy,
much like our own with the exception or our

soil not excelled in profitable fertility by that
OF any region in the country, with great COM
mercial facilities, with a people already wide
awake to the wickedness and the folly of slavery,
