Secretary Stanton.

The papers of late have much to
say about the retirement of Secretary
Stanton from the Cabinet, and last
week his retirement was announced
as a positive fact. The Washington
Chronicle, in order to set at rest what
it calls a malignant falsehood, says,
on the authority of Mr.. Stanton him.
self, that he has not resigned that it
is not known that he has designed to
leave the Cabinet very soon, and that
he has had NO dispute, no difference,
no collision with President johnson.
His relations with the President are
of the most cordial and friendly char
acter. The Presidents relations
with Mr.. Stanton are entirely agreea-
BILE and confidential. He has never
had difference, much less collision,
with his Secretary of War, nor has he
given such assurance to any one-Ma-
jor General or otherwise-as has been
attributed to him. The Chronicle
also says that this latter statement is
made by authority of President John
son.

We had supposed that, with the
downfall of the rebel army, their bar
barous monstrosities had ceased. Re-
ports from Mobile state, however, that
there is testimony to prove that the
recent terrible explosion in that city
was caused by rebel Vaccinations.
One of the party concerned in the
conspiracy has been arrested, and con-
fesses that he aided in causing the ex-
plosion by means Of torpedoes. Anoth.
er one Of the party was the rebel May.
or of Mobile. Torpedoes were also
found recently in the Custom House in
that city, but providentially they did
not explode.

Advices from Europe show that our
relations with England are critical.
The British Ministry have fatty refus-
ed the demand of our government for
indemnity for depredations done by
the Alabama and other piratical crafts
built in British ports and manned by
British subjects to prey upon our COM
merce. We hope our government will
stand firmly by their demands. War
may ensue in consequence, but if it
does the blame will rest with that per-
fidious nation that has so long tamper-
ed with our patience and insidiously
worked to destroy the Union and
sweep our commerce from the seas.

Correspondence Of the Charles City Intelgencer
The Sanitary Fair.

CHICAGO, June IL, 1865.
FRIEND HnDRETH Il am sorry you
could not come to the Fair. We are
having the celebrities here now-the
great military chieftains of the war
Grant, Sherman, Hooker and scores of
lesser lights. Wherever they go the
crowd follow; whether to the Fair,
Church, Theatre, Hotel or what not.
1t seems an irksome matter to be SO
popular. ! think there must be an in
ternal, secret vanity, after all, hidden
beneath Grants stern and stoical out
side carelessness or apparent indiffer-
ence to all that passes around him. A
great many people are continually
coming to Chicago and departing
therefrom. More people are in to-day
than at any previous time. The Fair
will prove great success, but not SO
much as it would had the war continu
ed. The total receipts up to Saturday
amounted to $ls4, 900. S.

In the Washington city election the scces-
sionists and returned rebels turned out and
voted in greater strength than they have done
since the war began, and succeeded in electing
the ticket which they preferred. They made
a special fight and polled large majorities
against all who participated in the recent
meeting for the Punishment from the city of
those who left to join the rebel armies. This
indicates the insincerity of Rebel repentance,
and the necessity of extending the right of
franchise to blacks

The Coming Fourth Of July

There is a general desire that the
coming anniversary of our national
independence be observed as q day of
rejoicing for the restoration Of the I'M
ion and the re-establishment of peace.
No day can be more appropriate. The
Fourth of July was signalized by. two
of the most important events of the war
the victory of Gettysburg, and the
surrender of Vicksburg, in 1868. These
were really the turning points of the
rebellion in the East and the South
west. Prominent officers in General
Lees army date its reverses of for
tune from its defeat at Gettysburg.
So, to, the capture of Vicksburg re-
stored to us the Mississippi river,
without which we could never have
prospered in that region. On the COM
ing Fourth of July we shall be in the
full enjoyment of the fruits of those
great victories, which have only late
" ripened fully and been gathered in
the fields of Virginia and the Carroll.
mas. tits, therefore, eminently prop
er that we sould celebrate the victo.
ries OF Gettysburg and Vicksburg,
along with the restoration of peace
and Union, on the anniversary of our
birth as nation. We hope that our
citizens will complete all the proposed
arrangements to have a grand and
general jubilation and that the day
be appropriately celebrated with pa
triotic spirit all over the Northwest.
Many of the veteran soldiers will be
at home in time to participate.
