To have even harbored a thought in ene'e
mind that tome other person than Mr. Lin
coin might possibly be made the nominee,
would bare beer, considered "embarrassing
the administration." The contractors and
plunderers of our government are highly
elated at their soccer, io the renorninaiion
f this usorper, imbecile, and tyrant, A bri

Cleveland movement, bat in secret circles,
are known to view it, of serious damage to
theif cause. The Democratic party, the
ooly'TJivioa, law-abiding. and Constitaitonal
party in existence,' can look opoa the action
cf the Cleveland Convention only as an
cmea - of some good results. It certainly
wilf lend to damage the success of the Baf
timore nominee, thereby making the pros
pects of electing the choice of the Chicago
Democratic Convention, more sure, let bis

other man." Wiih a judicious nomination

Fremont'i leerptanee oa the War Democrat
ic Platform. , '
Some of the sentiments expressed in Gen.
Fremont's letter, accepting the nomination
of the Cleveland Convention, have receiv
ed tbe approbation of persona oi all parties,
excepting, of course, the immediate hench
men of Mr Lincoln. We call the letter an
acceptance of the nomination, because it is
a foregone conclusion that its only proviso
will be fulfilled by the action of . the Balti
more Convention. The machinery of
that engine has been too thoroughly arrang
ed to permit of any other result than tbe re
nomination of its chief engineer, Mr. Liu
coin. It follows, therefore, that General
Fremont is before the people as a candidate
for the Presidency. While we are convinc
ed that, in the evont of discreet and united
action on the part of tbe Democratic party,
he has no chance ot an election, we appre
ciate that his presence in tbe arena will as
suredly defeat the attempt ot the present
incambent to prolong by fraud, corruption
and violence bia despotic away. '
The platform upon which General Fre
mont stands, and which he has distinctly
enunciated in hie ' letter of acceptance,
serves at least lo announce this palatable
fact : that a very large proportion of even
tbe Black Republican party are disgusted
with and alarmed at the tyrannical course
of tbe prasent Administration, ft ia fortu
nate that fanaticism haa not completely
blinded that party to the disastrous coose
queuces of their own folly.
Ovkr the Falls. On Tuesday morning
we were startled by the information that
our yoreg friend M. M. Traujh, Esq., of
this place, in company with a lad of about
thirteen yeara of age, toy tbe name of Arthur
Beam, aon of our next dour neighbor, Mr.
Joseph Beam, having been oat ia the river,
in a foot boat, were upset and had gone
over the falls. We hastened to the river
back, and espied them in the middle of the
stream, clinging to the boat which had
turned keei upwards. . Whila - oa oar
way to render them what - assistance, we
could, we observed boat start oat after
them, manned by a couple of brave,, stoat
hearted lads by the name of Joshua Opdyke
and Frank Snyder, who soon overtook ocr
unfortunate friends and rescued them from
their perilous situation. The lad was nearly
exhausted, and waa only .saved from a
watery grave while floundering among the
waves and rocks of the tails, by lha almost
superhuman exertions of bis companion
young Traugh. Crowds of oor citizen Jio
ed the shore, but too lata to render any as
sistance, and could only look on, and await
in s uspence their deliverance from a watery
grave. 'They feel grateful for the assistance
rendered by their young friend. Berwick

- rThe latest intelligence from Generp I Grant
is to four o'clock on Saturday afternoon.
At that timw he still rreld bra, line from Coal
Harborto Bottom's Bridgs. The cavalry
north q( CoalH arbor had been out on a re
connoissance. Some skirmishing had ta-
ken place, but with no important result. A
vessel, wt ich left White Housa on Friday
icpuim uiai vioucrai uruai nau taken up the
railroad to the Chickahominy. The land
ing of stores had ca?ed. From this a the
ory has teen construcied.that General Grant
intended to againtrhange his base of sup
plies ; that he would move io the James
Rier. Although such a char.ga is verv
probable, and we think, it altiinately will
occur, yet we have no information which
warrants the announctmentihat the move
ment has begun. . At lour obfock on Satur
day afternoon, the army was in its old posi
lion ; communication belwen Stanton and
Grant was unbroken ; and tie Chickahorni
ny had noi then been crosd. This is the
first movement in a marcfc to the James
River, and if made, would ortainly be re
ported from Washington.
We have for some time refrained from
jtivmg any aetaits ot the movement of
General Sherman, as affairs in Virginia en
grossed the public attention. "Jen. Sher
msn is morewban a hondrel miss south of
Chattanooga. The Confederates re at Ma
rieita and its vicinity, twenty mil north of
Atlanta. For more than a week bey have
not retreated. They are now in a iroog po
sition and aeera to intend flghtirj. The
Federal troops closely confront hem at
Ackworttt, a few miles north of M$eitq.
Tbe Federal line faces southeast. Te larg
est part of the force is west : and sth of
the Confederates. .The position is suh that
to make a further advance, General Sher
man must capture, at great risk of ton. the
high ridge known as Lost Mountain je is
no longer ablo fo moe by the flank, fo tbe
moment he moves from his present jjni
iion to go round, the ridge, tbe enemy
by few hours' march, cut the railroad at
Ackwortb and deprive him of supplies
Gen. Wheeler is hoverinz in the rear wih
a cavalry force, prepared to take advanta
ot any such maaouvre. If Sherman abau.
dones the campaign and returns to Chatta
nooga, lh enemy, being east of hi main
Dooy, can start with him, and by moving
on parallel roads, endanger his trains, or
perhaps get between him and Chattanooga.
Sherman's position m very critical, and we
thirk he gave op the offenainTcampaign a
week ago The very meajre intelligence
of his movements furnished by the War Do
partment is a bad indication. "
From General Hunter.offictal intellisence
has been, received of his recnt viciorv at
Staunton, in the Shenandoah Valley. The
cattle took place on Sunday. June 6th. Fif
teen hundred Confederates and three can
non were captured. Three thousand small
arms and a larze auanti-v of moras were
also taken. From Sunday until Thursday
last General Hunter was engaged in de
stroying the railroad which runs thtongh
Staunton. This is not the Lynchburg Rail
road. It is one running northwest Irom
Charlottesville, and is of little consequence
to the Confederates. Oo Friday last Gen.
Hon!er abandoned Staunton, and began re
treating up tha Shenandoah Valley towards
Winchester.
John Morgan baa left Lexington, in Ken
tucky, and ia besieging Frankfort. He has,
it is reported, summoned tha town to sur
render, but has been refused. ' In Louisville
the militia have been called out, and there
is ereat consternation. As there is scarcely
a Federal regiment in Kentucky, Morgan
will, probably, for a time, have his own
way. He seems to intend cutting the rail
road between i Louisville and Nashville,
over which Gen. Sherman's supplies are
carried He has defeated an Ohio regiment
at Cynthiana. .
Gen. Butler baa made a demonstration
against Petersburg. Gen. Kauiz, with the
cavalry, succeeded in penetrating the earth
works of the town, but as the infantry, un
der GUImore, did noi support him, ha with
drew. Forty prisoners and one caocoa
were captured.
There has been a contest near Charles
ton, in which 'he Confederates were defeat
ed Threo Federal steamer have been
lost in Florida.
The Mississippi River is blockaded by
the Confederate fifty-four miles Lelow the
mouth of tha Arkansas.

PaovosT Marshal Gikcral Far has sta
ted in a letter 'written to a member of Con
gress, that $300 will exempt a ' person from
but one draft, botif it requires several draw
ings to fill tha quota of that draft, lha per
eon who paya his $300 is exempt from each
drawing ot that draft. Thus, you will ob
serve, be ssya nothing about tha . payment
of ibis money exempting a person one year
or longer; it the box is not- exhausted.
Heretofore Marshal Fry's opinions have not
been regarded as very reliable. His decis
ions bava been, one after the other, revoked
by tbe War Department .
The Stat Faia to bc hsld it Easto--It

Fifth That the rebellion has destroyed
slavery, and the federal constitution should
be amended to prohibit its re establishment
and to secure to all men absolute equality
before the law.
Sixth That integrity and economy are
demanded at all times in Ihe administration
of ihe government, and that in time of war
the want of them is criminal.
Feventh That the right of asylum, except
for crime and subject lo law, is a recognized
principle of American liberty , that any vi
olation of it cannot be overlooked and must
not so unrevoked.
Eighth Thai tha national policy known
