The Missouri Democrat says: ut is no
longer military secret that the esd Army
Corps {Gen. schoaeld's) has been transferred
from Clifton, On The Upper Tennessee, to
City Point, with Grant. The fact that this
vast army, estimated at 10000, with all Its
arms, munitions and equipage Qncluding ar
ti]lery and eight hundred horses, has been
transported some fifteen hundred miles by
river and ras1, and across mountains, in mid
winter, within the short space of tn dap,
without accident, is certainly both fortunate
and remarkable.
Van officer Who accompanied the cxpedi-
lion, IN writing to friend in this city, says !:
No such feat has been performed during the
war, or before IT, Of moving such an army
that distance in SO abort time, and that

The number Of Senators whose nanea 7-ere
tcleg1aphcd to lis rs voting in the affirmative
was only seventeen. The actual number was
eighteen. As Mr. Mason, Den.} of Knox,
rotcd with the majority on al1 questions
prior to the passage Of the bill, We conclude
that his name should 60 in the list, although
1t wns not In the dispatch which we received.
II VIC have done him any injustice in placing
Ills name there VIC shall be glad TO rcctify
the error. A similar discrepancy occurs in
The number Of representatives, whose names
were telegraphed to US. There we're ff1y-aye
ayes, but only 'ffty-four names were given
IN Our dispatch. We shall be glad to rectify
TITS error also wien we shall receive the
proper Information.
We have placed the name Of Mr., Eastman.
OF Cook, at the hcad Of the list, because.
from all the accounts we have received. he
has Dade himself familiar with depths of
shame, In this betrayal Of his constituents,
wholly unprecedented.
We desire now to call the attention Of the
constituents Of the seyenty-four individuals
above named to the nature OF the act which
their representatives have committed. When
the late Judge Douglas poured out his denun-
ciations upon the authors Of the lecompton
Constitution, he admitted that the people of
Kansas could change that Constitution at
their pleasure. They could annul aud blot it
out Of existence in year or TWO. But he
held, very justly, that it was wrong to impose
1t 1lson them Mt all, it was wrong to impose
Il upon them ono minute The sevcuty-two
individuals aboyc named hare voted, 60 far as
their votes could effect It, to impose this hid
ccus fraud upon the people Of Chicago, with
out their consent, for se,vnfy.tour years
Their net is therefore seyenty-1our times
worse than TINT of the framers and friends of
the Lecompton Constitution. Their little
fingers are thicker than the loins Of John
Candlcbox Calhoun and his associates Of In.

We desire TO call the attention Of the con-
Btituents Of these seventy two individuals to
the fact, first, that this bill to dcfIaud The
people Of Chicago was passed over the veto
of an honest Governor, whose mastery argu-
mcnt not oDe Of them attempted to answer
second, that 1t WIS passed over the heads Of
3 two-thlrds majority Of the local Rep
resentauves Of Chicago in the Legisla-
ture-zhird, That 1t Was passed in the
face Of the most overwhelming evidence
that the people Of Chicago were bitterly op-
posed to it-.foarth, that the reasonable re-
quest Of the committee Of our citizens that
the bill should be submitted to vote Of the
people, whose rights were to be affected BY It,
before 1t should become law, was treated
with contempt that the Ebnl seeks to
