Etc. [Special Correspondence of The Pram] Sr. Lours, Mo., Sept. 6,1664. The excitement over the discovery of the "0. A. K." plot has somewhat subsided. At first the friends of the rebels endeavored to laugh the story out of existence, but they found the effort was use less. As soon as the leaders in the affair had made their confession of complicity, the followers began a change of tactics, , and without actually owning up to the existence of the order, they silenced their earnest denials thereof. Since the first few weeks of the discovery very little has been said concerning it. The objects of the organi zation have been frustrated, and the plot that bade fair to be an extensive and dangerous ono has proved pradtically harmless. The meetings are still kept up throughout the Western States, and tt is possible that they may make a little trouble by and by, but their power for present evil has been broken. The importation of wines into . the Western States still continues, though in greatly restricted pro portions. General liclatzeimanei order of pro hibition rouses the indignation of the. Copper treads' everywhere. They talk very glibly about the right to have arms in their own defence wherever they may choose. One gentleman °talkie that the four hundred revolvers, seized in Indianapo lie a short timeaince, were for the use of his friendi throughout Indiana, and the avows his determina tion to procure several thousand more in spite of the oppeeltion of the Lineothdynesty. Itisvery strange that ' , Peace" men should need such a large quanti ty of warlike material for the continuance of their quiet pursuits. Up to the present decade Quakers and those following in their train have never been constdered.the best patrons of the dealers in fire-arms. Why these Western Quakers should suddenly be in the receipt of revolvers as "Sunday School books" and of musket cartridges as candles; it is difficult to explain. Ever since Missouri was first placed under mar tial law there has been a prohibition upon the ship meat of arms and ammunition into the interior. Persons in the northeastern part of the State have been violating and evading the order by making their purchases In St. Louis oeChicage for towns in Western Illinole, and. then smuggling the articles across the river. Gen. Reseerans has found It ne cessary to issue a special order to put a stop to this traffic. Hereafter,, the North Misisonri guerillas will find it more difficult to procure the means of re sistance. • Guerilla warfare still continues in the interior, and it appears next to Impossible to bring it to a close, The guerillas are nowhere in bands more _than three hundred strong, and generally in squads of less than fifty. They carry on a system of rob bery and murder rather than one of regular warfare. Without any desire for fighting in the open field, they fall upon the defenceless and innocent, when they themselves run little risk of injury. In one of the interior counties a squad of twenty went one day last week to the house of an old man suspected 01 having money in his possession. The man was brought out in front of his house and ordered to re veal the place of concealment. In vain he protested he had no money beyond a few dollars, which he readily gave up. The scoundrels stretched him upon a log and deliberately out off his fingers, one by one, and then put the man out of agony by shoot ing him through the head. Along the north bank of the Mtssonri the lectern lea have become so barbarous in their outrages that the people are everywhere packing up and leaving home. Seine counties were almost entirely depopulated. The Secessionists find themselves nearly as badly treated as the loyal people, as the guerillas are mainly bent on plunder, with little re gard to the sympathies of the owners of desirable property. Horses, money, clothing, provisions, any thing that can be made useful to men in the field, is eagerly taken, and the robbery concealed oftentimes by the burning el the plundered buildings and the murder of the inhabitants. In some instances whole families, wife, children, and aged persons have been left dead upon the ground. If ever the conduct of any Power waging war de served the condemnation of the world it is in the present instance. The Confederate Government claims fo be carrying on a war for Ate existence and recognition among civilized nations. No civilized nation of the present time can look favorably upon a Power that permits the organization of independ ent guerilla parties, whose sole mission it is to keep out of reach. of regular military forces, while it plunders and prey[ upon helpless women - aifd iiell- - dree and murders' Inoffensive citizens who are quietly at work at their homes. Their conduct is the more inexplicable when we bear in mind that they claim Missouri as one of the Southern States, and say It will be theirs whenever peace is declared. Strange, indeed, that they should thus depopulate the whole State and alienate from them many per sons whose sympathies were at first strongly with the South. If European Powers have any regard for the rules and courtesies of war they can never - 1 pardon the atrocities that have been committed in ' the past,. three years in the name of "Southern liberty." There is onelocality where the guerillas have not thus far made any disturbance. It is not generally known that the " Paelfic Railway of Missouri" is being completed to Kansas City, so as to connect with the Eastern division of the Union Pacific Rail way. The workmen along the portion of the line between Warrensburg and Kansas City are in a region invested by guerillas. The latter frequently visit the working parties and assist them to eat up their provisions and make away with their whisky. They assert that they desire the completion of the railway, as it will be an excellent adjunct of the Southern Confederacy when the war Is at an end. In this view of the case they are not •inClined to Make any diaturbance, but they will not allow any Germans to work on the line. The company has been compelled to employ Irishmen exclusively, on account of the antipathy which the Missouri rebels hold towards the Germane. In the northwestern portion of the State General Fisk has scattered tho geerlliaa to a partial extent, though they still exist in small bodies. They make their power felt by occasionally firing upon a steamboat on the Missouri, or by robbing isolated and inoffensive families. Small parties of them oc casionally cross Into Kansas on horse-stealing expe ditions, but they generally return but little better off than when they started. The Kansas people have a summary way of dealing with these fellows when ever caught. Three horse-thieves were recently hung at one place, after trial by a lynch court,-and another was captured and shot on the following day. Since then horse-stealing in Kenna has been at a discount.- Reports have come from the southeastern part o the State, %the past few days, that the rebels were advancing upon Cape Girardeau. This can hardly be true. The only force of rebels known in that vi cinity, is a band of from five to eight hundred, With their headquarters at Pittman's Ferry, Ark. This force would `tio utterly useless for an attack upon a fortified post. It is probable that the rumored at tack is nothing but a raid upon farmers and unarm ed citizens in general.

F. H. 131DDA7,T4 Day before yesterday the enemy's pickets in front of this corps engaged in a 'variety of fancy and other: dances opposite our outposts. The dancing itself would scarcely have been noticed, but having ladles,relativeti, and friends for partners within speaking distances of our videttes, attracted some attention, and afforded no little amusement. There are Rare evidences of a et:Welty of food just now among the rebels. They are continually solici ting to exchange tobacco and their papers for hard tack, sugar and coffee, which are regarded by them as luxuries. The great desire to obtain these eatables, since the capture of the Weldon Railroad, bas some what shortened their supplies; of course, in itself, sufficient to reflect the exhausted condition of •their supplies. The men acknowledge that they receive far below the usual quantity allowed to them, in consequence of its great scarcity, and as yesterday was spent by their pickets in gaming for squirrels and other things, to be obtained by shooting, we may very correctly Infer that they are In a very hungry condition. • One of the rebel pickets a day or two ago ad vanced, unarmed, of Course, to the post of a colored sentinel. lie immediately hauled out a large pleoe of tobacco, which would coat in this army about two dollars, and begged that the darkskinned soldier would 'give him one biscuit, or hard tack, as it is. known here, to oat He merely informed the rob that it was against orders to make exchanges with their enemy, and to the persistent and repeated en treaties of this hungry Confederate he turned deaf ear. After Johnny found hb could not persuade this colored soldier to furnish him with a biscuit, he went away cursing him for refusing to meet his wishes. It is very difficult, In fact; generally im ' poeeible, to induce a. colored soldier to swerve one lota from the instructions he may receive towards awakening the inhabitants of Jeffdom to a fearful realization of their assumed position. . One of the best evidences of confidence in the valor of colored troops le manifest In the fact that they are entrusted with holding the right of our line, which is the nearest point we possess to Mak mond. Their character for fighting and discipline is established, and henceforth they may be expected to talea part in all the grand engagements along this line. They are anxiously waiting for the op portunity to meet the enemy, ae, independent of the affair of Government, many or them have a private account which they are determined to settle at the first opportunity.

RAnnisnuna, Sept. 9.—Between thirty and forty organizations have been granted at the State In spector General's office to parties recruiting for the five regiments to be organized immediately for the State Guard. When authority thus Co recruit was issued by the Inspector General, it was not calm]. lated that troops could be immediately raised for tile:State seivice. The Impending draft and the fact that sub•military districts are paying large bounties to quotas, acted as a bar to all efforts to secure vOlunteers for the Sta,te Guard. As soon, howevei, •as the draft has been made and thtna tidal authorities close their recruiting offices,' of will be made tdteoure men' for -the State.- It is proposed, . to icoate -the camp for the reception, instruction, and organization or. these troops at some point nreet of the' SUequehanna, probably in the , vicinity ,of' Carlisle; The object of this is to avoiff all conflict - with - the United States authorities, who:3l°w have pesessiOn the camps 14 this vi al:mg/4 and to place' the ;men` to be ergaritied as a State Guard as near the- scene oklibli proposed seryibe as possible while they aro being disciplined. ,; • , ••• Litter irons nisi Anna F..

This had ,two objects : first, to vindiCate my position of last 'winter and spring; second, to state that of to day, with what I believe to be the duty of every loyal man and woman in this hour, The first is of more Importance to me personally than the second. lam more constantly asked in re. gard to it, and as You, in copying this letter, have omitted the two only paragraphs in which I hive pat my whole defence, may I beg that you will find apace for there in your morrow's issue. Following , the sentence in which I speak of the Convention I say: . 11 ,ThIs was something. Beyond this the summer campaigns might not close as they began, and, as on this ending, not this beginning, depended, to a cer- tain extent, the popularity and consequent success of whatever loyal representative might be placed before the people, I thought that no such representa tive should be nominated till these things should be decided,'as a' too early decision might end in a late indecision If not open rupture in the party. " Whatever words I then spoke I believed to be in the best interests of the country. Personally, I had everything to lose; nothing to gain by the course pursued.

Respectfully, yours, AigNA E. Dicirtrisoir. Pginanstrine, Sept. 8. 1864. Natlesuile Net Federal. To the Editor of The Press : Stn: In looking over the Chicago platform,lt occurs ter me that the word "Union" is an aqui toque. It does not mean Union of the people, as one nation, hut a Union of the States, as States.. Thus It falls ' back upon the idea ofa mere federation, and virtually denies our nationality, as Mr. Patterson, of New jersey; did in the Convention. [See Madi son Papers, .pp. 831, 4, 62.] This is precisely the Jeff Davis doctrine. And that such is their. Inten tion, is obvious from the phrase "Federal Union of all the States," in resolution 2d, and "Federal Union and 'the rights of the States " In the 4th.. 'Undoubtedly that which it Mani at is a Merely Fade . ral Union—a confederation of independent sove reign States. The platform hes not the ;milder to say whether or not the "rights of the States," for which it contends, include secession, or the right to leave at their own option. This had been honest and honorable in comparison of the equivocal terms the . platform uses. Then the people would have &- cier:stood them. But as it is they Mak themselves at liberty to deny peremptorily, as has been done by leading men among them, that "State , rights" in clude secession at all; and thus they think to es cape the odium of denying our nationality, as "the New Jersey plan" did in the Convention. I hope The Press will ever and anon demand of the Peace men whether their. States rights include the right of secession at pleasure. • his much tem: regretted that the word Federal has become So habitually need instead of NaTioDrAr." as el4istl.M.t.osPithet of the Gpniral Government, In `contrast with the State Governments. It was not 'so in the Convention. Gov. Randolph's fifteen resolutions, which were the guide-poles of the body, Use the word National twelve times. The third resolution, being slightly modified, was the first pasted ; and that after the most important and extended debate of the whole Convention, viz Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Commit tee that a National Government ought to be esta blished, consisting of a Supreme Legislature, Exeentive, and Judiciary." This terminated the grand debate of the Conven tion, and settled the question between a National Government and a mere Confederation or Federal !Mien. The word National it is true, was stricken out at the close, on the motion of Mr . ? Elsworth, of Connecticut, and Mr. Graham, of Massachusetts, Mr. Randolph web/Being, but for reasons different from the movers. In fact, the opposition to a National Government, as a contradistinction from a mere Confederation, came almost entirely from The North, Mr. Lowndes and Mr. Martin being the only Southern statesmen of any note who made such opposition; whilst Barnwell, the two Pinokneys, George Mason, Gov. Randolph, Madison, Pendleton, and. George Wash ington, went in for a National ' Government. Mr. Madison says (Papers, p. 632) : "Let the National Government be armed with a positive and com plete authority in all cases where uniform measures are necessary. • Exceedingly,. I repeat, to be re gretted Is this motion from the East, for it affords great advantage to the arguments of the Confede rates South and North. Federal Is defined by Web ster, 3 Pertaining to a. league or contract; derived from an 'agreement or covenant between parties, partioularly between nations." Confederate " Al- I lied by treaty ; engaged in a confederacy." ' Thus, • this word federal becomes a snare, a sad instrument of deception, whereby, thousands, yea millions, of people are led topelleve that ours is a Federal Go vernment, a mere Confederation of independent States ors operate futed by every line of its istory. Never is it so called in any record entered tip bythe Convention. On the contrary, the Constitution ignores the term . federal. The word confederation, which occurs in the old sartieles twelve times, occurs only twice in the Con stitution viz, Art. 1., See. 10. "No State shall enter, into any • treaty, affiance, - or confederation. ,, And rt. VI. See. 1. "All debts shall be as valid as under the Confederation." in this last instance, by contrast, it is denied that the Constitution creates & confederetion. Moreover, that the Convention weremost careful to repudiate the word federal—both name and thing—is .most abundantly shown by the fact that they avoided its use altogether In their discussions. In reading over the Madison Papers I had the curi osity to note down and mark th i . , eirages on which occur tho phrases "National L stature," "Na tional Representatives," and " ational Govern ment," and I find that, from page 731 to page 1634, inclusive, the word' national stands on the record two hundred and twenty-seven (227) times; the' word federal but once: viz., by Roger Sherman, on page 782. It is used once in the letter to avoid the repetition of national. Now, if it was the design of these glorious old patriots to establish a federal government, a confederation. of States, why did they so Invariably repudiate these very terms, and use the word national two hundred and twenty seven timer I am, sir, very respectfully, yours, wo. ANTI-FEDERAL. Is. Peterson's New Cook Book• The French, who excel in the cuisine, declare that' the English are a people with one sauce and two hundred religions. The English admit this, to a certain extent, for their proverhdeciaresthat Provi dence dupplies meat, and that a certain black. gen tleman sends cooks. There are numerous cookery books in our language. The oldest that we have examined is now before .us, entitled "The Court and Country Cook," is an octavo volume of nearly 500 pages, "Faithfully translated out of French into EngllSh, by J. K.," and K 6 impliut 111" Printed by W. Onloy, for A: Sr, S. Churchill, at the Black Swan, in PaterNoster Row, and H. Gilly flower, in Westminster Hall, 1;02." It is , a singu larly-curious old book, containing many useful and some quaint receipts, with an excellent glossary of the terms of art and French words used in it., and very full indexes to the Cookery and Confectionery parts. Later English books on this art are nume roue—the most noted being by female authors, among whom may especially be named Mrs. Glass, Mrs. • Runde'', Miss Acton, Misr Ro berts, Meg Dods (we fancy that this last is not wholly feminine), Miss Leslie, Mrs. Widdofield, and the anonymous author of a compact and plain volume published by Mr. Childs. Among - the male writers on Cookery are Ude, Jar- On, Dr. Kitchener, Alexis Soyer, and Fran catelll, who long was attached to Queen Victoria's house hold. Messrs. T. B. Peterson St Brothers, who have publii had more books on cookery than any.other American house, will bring out in a few days a 12Mo. volume of l 8 pages, entitled "Peterson's New Cook ltook." • We have very carefully examined this sfeiume, (besides taking the opinion of our dining Out editor,) and emphatically pronounce it to be— jutt. the hand-book that was long needed in Ameri- Can households. It 'contains nearly nine hundred culinary receipts, with two Indexes, to facilitate re. %ranee. It gives plain, practical directions how to purchase food, how.to cook it in the most appetizing and least costly manner--including roast and boiled, stews and broils, soups and made dishes, pastry and preserves, Jellies and creams, potting andcol laring, pickling and cake-making, syrups and home.' made wines, with a variety of other receipts of. value Ina house. There i 9 a little history of this book many years ago the head or one of our leading fa. mules, who'althongts wealthy was not above visiting her own kitchen and seeing that her cuisine was properly oared for, entered down in a book, for her children's' instruction, the various culinary pros comes by which their food had been made so tooth some and eo nourishing. A good manager, she studied economy, and this volume, which embodies her long experience, with some additional receipts, 18 the ratan of her maternal *consideration and forethought• It is quite an original work, and,. we repeat, will be a treasure to all housekeepers, what ever their pecuniary means. Tics beautiful crypt of St. Stephen's Chapel which escaped the tire of-the Houses of Parliament has been_restored, under the care of Mr. LI, M Barry. A Rebel View of the Situation We have received Richmond papers of the 7th. The Examiner takes &general view of the situation, and congratulates its readers on Its favorable lean ing towards their cause. After underrating the im portance of the city, and arguing that for the last two, years it has not been of the slightest use to the Confederacy,” It says: "The great necessity in Georgia is the preserve- HMI of an army capable of making head against Sherman, and prepared to strike a decisive blow If ever he attempt to detach - his forces in different-di rections for the purpose Of general occupation and subjugation. Tile business of a Confederate army therels to watch Sherman and compel him- to a cautious concentration of his troops. The situation even in Georgia, the only field in which it presents • an unfavorable aspeot, is by no means discouraging. By dint of -a 'heavy expenditure of means, energy t and men, the enemy have reached the centre of North Georgie.; but if we compare the cost of this expedition with , the results realized, we find nothing to warrant despondency. Ho has had to give up East Tennessee and leave nearly; all of West Tennessee open to Confederate in cursions. Be has had almost to abandon Minis sippi and Alabama. Even Kentucky has been left unprotected, and the north bank of the Ohio has been threatened. To maintain his long line of com munication and make headway into Georgia, he has had to evacuate immense districts of country already overrun, which would liars yielded him a thousand times more value than the region of Georgia which he has desolated. Like the dog crossing the stream, he has let go what was sub stantial to plunge alter a shadow. It will cost him more men and money to maintain himself at Atlanta than It would to subjugate and pos sess any two States which he had occupied, and has now abandoned. If the confederacy had the elec tion of Lie policy, it would gladly choose that he •should continue his campaign in .Georgia rather than employ the same army .in- many enterprises which she would have infinitely more difficulty is thwarting. If we maintain our army intact, we have but to bide oar time, and the result wlll take care of itself. If the season of winter and bad roads sate in, finding Sherman - still in Georgia, and our own army confronting him in force, we should soon have no reason to regret the loss of Atlanta... "On the side of theldissisdppi the situation Is peculiarly. favorable. ItWe.:4 la Wee from Federal - troor:s ; the greater. Part 011..ouislana is delivered of their -presence ; -Arkansas le no longer in thral• dem; and General Price Is maroldng with a con ' siderable force Into IlliAsonri. In virrae.of .the con centrated efforts Of the enemy in Virginia and Georgia ! , we have gained much lost terpitory on this . side of tne great river ; but we hive wop back much more territory on the other side by actual-conquest. Except the channel of the Mississippi and the land - bordering the rear communications of Grant and Sherman, the _Confederacy now holds most of the ground It lost in 1802 and 1803. "How stands the case in Virginia? Sheridan is away off on the border of the Potomac, on Aline fifty to.a hundred miles farther back than the enemy held at the opening of the campain : and Grant, having abandoned Richmond and the north side, at least for a time, Is desperately threatening our Southern communications. He has reduced Us to the necessity of wagoning such supplies as we may desire from the Weldon Railroad, a- dis tance pf twenty-five miles; and he is Reeking to swing still further around on oar right to cut the Strati:side Railroad. In other words, he is attempting to besiege Richmond from a dis tance of twenty-five or thirty miles although she bee all the country east of the Blue Ridge to subsist upon, and possesses an untouch Carolina ommu nication with Western North, which it would 'cost him another army to take. "It is plain that the situation has greatly Im proved for the South since the campaign opened,. and it is perfectly certain that neither Grant nor Sherman can maintain themselves where they are without such heavy reinforcements as will require the enemy to leave other portions of the Confede racy-unmolested." GRATiTITDX TO THE iIVeIINDIAItY 31'0ALTI3LAND. The Examiner also doscribbs a sword and spursin tended for presentation to Gen. McCausland, the fucendiary of Chambereburg The citizens of Lynchburg, grateful to General McCausland for his gallantry displayed In defence Of their town from the • enemy, and espeoiallY for his measures of practical retaliation in Pennsvi vania, have caused to be manufactured in this city an elegant sword for presentation to him. The blade Is of the best material, and the scabbard beautifully mounted and richly embossed. On the blade is inscribed—" The Citizens of Lynchburg to General John McCausland, June 18, 1861." Em bossed on the scabbard is a chalice, and above the word " Retribution, " symbolizing the destruction of Chambersburg by fire, which was putting the poisoned chalice to Yankee lips for all the atrocities committed by them In the Valley. Below appeirs the coat of-arms of Virginia, and in another place is seen the coat-of arms of the ancient Roman Em pire. The whole design is very tastefully conceived, and reflects credit on the patriotism of the citizens of Lynchburg, no lees than upon the committee charged with getting up the testimonial and pre senting it. POLITICAL. DEMOCRATIC BATIVIOATION MEETING ST. Louie, Sept. B.—The Democratic ratification meeting held here tonight was one of the largest ever held in St. Louis. There was speaking from three Stands by several prominent leaders of -the city and State, and a great deal of enthusiasm was manifested. NOMINATION DIZOLINND. CINCINNATI, Sept. O.—Henry C. Lord deollnes the Democratic nomination for Congrese in the Second district, and Joseph C. Butler has been. nominated in his stead. . NONEUNATBD-808 CONGIIICAt, ' a- Wrra.i.asisronT, Pa., Sept. 9.—The Hon. Stephen Furleen, of Tioga county, was this day nominated for'Oongiass by. the Republicans of the Eighteenth dbitifet of Pennsylvania.. sexteroas nowinAT en. .Lirwurraurtr, Sept. 9.—fit, tie Union Sematorial Conferee Convention, held' here to-day, Kirk Baines, of Perry, and Lewis W. Hill, of Blair county, were nominated THE LAST HOYE 01' THE REBELLION. Mr. Se:lnton, of the New York Times, has a long and exhaustive article in that paper yesterday, showing what progress the war has made, and what grounds of hope remain to the North and South. He concludes as follows: - - - The war is really near its close. The present front of the rebellion, menacing though it be, is really no• thing more than a mask, concealing the hollowness and rottenness within. The South is literally ex hausted—exhausted of that without which it is Im possible to carry on war—exhausted of men. As General Grant the other day pungently said, the rebels have "robbed the cradle and the grave to re. inforce their armies." Out of an available fighting population of upwards of three-quarters of a mil lion', with which the war was inaugurated, they have saved an effective force of one hundred or one hundred and fifty thousand men. The rest are in their graves, In the hospitals, disabled, or prisoners in our hands. These are the forlorn hope of the re bellion. • Our territorial conquests have reclaimed three fourths of the area originally claimed in the limits of the Confederacy. The Confederacy stands now thrice bisected—its great lines of communication cut or in our hands. Besides, its resources of all kinds are all but exhausted. The desperate men at its head may continue the struggle for some time longer—they may for a while oppose a formidable front to our blows—but the rebellion is doomed. Its struggles will be the frantic final efforts of the gla diator before he falls down exhausted and inani- mate. The leaders of the rebellion have ceased to see any hope for their cause In the arena of war. They are now looking to the arena of politica. A party has been set up whose creeds and alms have their entire sympathy and moral support. The platform of that party has nothing but expressions of contuMe ly for the sacred war, the recital of which haa been made ; for Jeff Davis and his crew it has nothing but expressions of sympathy and respect. The peo ple of the. North have now before them the momen tous question of determining, by their action, whether they will justify all the precious blood shed in this war by carrying it triumphantly through and crowning it with a glorious and honora ble peace or whether by a base surrender they will project !Onto history as a monument of a nation's folly. GEN. LOGAN AND TER DEMOORACY.—The Chine go Tribune says that this noble officer, the friend of Douglas, was importuned by several leading Demo crats to allow his name to be used for the Vice Pre sidency at Chicago, but Gen. Logan unqualifiedly refused. He told those gentlemen he did not train with. that crowd; that he was a war Demoorat, not a peace sneak ; that he was opposed to bowing down and supplicating for forgiveness at the feet of Jeff Davis ; that he was for an honorable, permanent peace, which could only bo obtained by overthrow ing armed rebellion, and compelling the insurgents tp yield obedience to the (institution and the laws, and that he would never consent to make peace on any terms that did not embrace a complete restora tion of the Union, in all its territorial Integrity. IlloCramiear A Famuns.—The York Herald says: "McClellan has proved a failure in that su preme necessity of war—success. His Military re cord—no matter what may be the excuses for It— hae been one of results in no degree adequate to the means at his command ; while as to the career of General Fremont, since the commencement of our war, everybody can tell what it bas been—a bleak." SaVRRE ow Twant.—The Tribune says: George Francis Train announces to an awe-struck world that he will not support McClellan and Pendleton. That is very natural. He further intimates that he will not support Lincoln and Johnson, That Is very gratifying. As POINTED AB TEM—Even , principle once held sacred by the Democratic party is thrown Over. heard by that party for the sake of a craven, cow ardly, puSillaninions peace with Jeff Davis and his band of insolent and dictatorial alavehoiders. A VALITABLEHISTORT.—SenatOr Wilson MS, for some time past been engaged in preparing a history of the legislation of Congress daring the present administrative term upon the subject of slavery and emancipation. The work, which Is now completed and in press, has been compiled from the Cengres- • siona Globe and other authentic records, and em braces a summary of all the debates upon the bills introduced and passedi and other relevant matter. it is arranged under the following heads or chapters v 1.
