Union u• LI Ke w, Confttitutlon AS It Ix Where there tu no Lam there h. no THE PRESIDENT APPOINTING A The Southern revolt against the 03v ernment is working strange innovations in every direction ; even our politics are be coming revolutionized. The times are oat of joint, so much so that the people appear indifferences to their political fu ture. The latest development in this con nection, is a recent visit of a committee of New Yorkers to Washington, to confer with the President in relation to their coming municipal election. The the visit was to ascertain whether President would allow Gen. Joni: A. Dix to run for Mayor and retain, at the same time, his position in the army. The Her ald s correspondent remarks upon this that the committee made their appearanc. at the White House, and were received by the President in the usual way that special committees have heretofore been received, from the MiSPOUri redicat dele gation down to the coma:I:I-a or: Gem-1W GRANT's whisky, President LINCOLN lis tened very attentively io their statements, told them a Story of what It reminded him of, and then waived his usual plan of re plying by letter, 11::(1 immediately gave his consent to their programme. The corn• mittee, it is said, were very much pleased with the interview. They were specially gratified that General Dix could be per mitted to run without losing his present poaitio❑ From this it will be seen, that the Abo lition politicians are not satisfied with the Administration having usurped the rights of the States : they are now willing to yield up even their municipal privileges. In Maryland bayonets were used to elect an Abolition majority to Congress : and the great oity of New York, the metropo lis of the country, is to be put under the command of an army officer, it the people will endorse him at the polls. Should the same means be resorted to to elect him, that were used in Maryland, there can be no doubt of the result. The work of centralizing power at Wash• ington is progressing with fearful rapidity, and what's still more alarming, is the fact of the people being indifferent to it. In New York, as in other cities, the people, by their ballots, have elevated such cor. rupt men to rule over them, that they be gin to dietrust the elective system. In difference has, therefore, taken the place of vigilance, so that the most responsible take no part in primary contests, at which candidates are selected to be voted for at the polls. Look at our own city, in this connection ; a quarter of a century ago, when we were comparatively a village, we had better municipal Officers than we have now. Then our best men did not refuse to serve as members of our Con acils, while our Chief Magistrate was always a gentlrmlan of character and executive ability. Now the mayoralty is not re garden as being beyond the merits and deserts of any one having impudence enough to aspire to it. This should be remedied and the Republican party should lcok to it. That party has the power, and is re sponsible for the government of our city. When the Democracy had the ability to %Accts wttra ac ceptable candidates, but as the power of the Republicans has increased, they have gone from bad to worse, until the mayor alty of this important city has shamefully degenerated. Under these circumstan ces we should not care if our Aboli tion leaders would visit Washington, and have some good man, like Gen. Dix, ap. pointed to keep us in order. If we go on a few years longer us we have been going for the few that are past, we will be able to demonstrate fully our inability to govern ourselves. Let the Republi- cans begin a reformation, and reform this altogether. THE ROUTE TO RICHMOND. When the War Department and General HALLECE ordered the withdrawal of the army of the Potomac from HARRISON'S Landing, General McCi.m.t.s.s protested against the measure as in the highest de gree unwise, contending that no advance could be made by any other route, and that the true defence of Washington con sisted in a rapid and heavy blow upon Richmond. His advice, however, was overruled, and by the withdrawal of his army, relieving Richmond from danger, General LEE was enabled to defeat POPE and invade Maryland. Since then the ex periment of advancing cn the Confederate Capital in such a way ac to cover Wash ington at the same time. tias been pretty thoroughly tested, and as the fruits of the policy we have had the useless slaughter of Fredericl:sburg and Chancelloreville, and the re'reili of Gen l'inenn to Centre ville, With such experience, it is not to bo wondered at that at last the men in Washington are beginning to acknowledge fhe truth. In the New York Times lately there was an elaborate criticism of the late eam l a;gn by Mr. SwiNrox—the MOs' capable, perhaps, of all the correspond ants. He closes his remarks by the fu lowing confession "It remairs to he seen what action the miii ary authorities at Washirgton will take in regard to the Army of the Potomae, in view at the pass to whit affairs have been bronght kg the late cam paiwy, beery too in the army here agrees that antlVe. °potations against Richmond by th!, lice ary_gyr for the year.

I started at the hour of two o'clock p. m. to the place appointed for the Ohio soldiers to vote. I went there, not saying a word to any one concerning the election. "Royal Taylor, the State Agent officiat ed. I asked them if they bad any Dem ocratic tickets. They said they had uor Then I asked if they had any tickets of any kind for Defiance County. I had a ticket in my pocket, neatly folded, on pur pose for the occasion. I handed it to one of the officers, and he asked for my county and township, v, Lich I gave. The man who put the tickets into the box had it in his hand the last I saw of it. "I started back to the Hospital. I gcd part way back, when an officer and a guard caught me and took me back into the office, and said here is a man that vo ted for Vallandigham, and an officer sent him to the Major and told him to shont the dammed cuss. They took us down to Barracks No. 1 and put us in the --, what they called 'guard house,' but I call it a prison, or nearly a dungeon. "We were summoned to appear before a court martial about ten o'clock that night. The charge against me wag, voting for Valland,ghana. I plead guilty of the charge ; I wrote my dErfense, and was then taken back to prison, and have been kept there ever since There was another man voted about the same time as I did, who was treated in the same manner, by the name of T. S. King, of Adams county, Ohio. "1 am here, not for auy immoral con duct whatever, but merely for voting the regularly nominated Democratic ticket of my native State... A Marrie . .o Man Elopes with a Young Lady—He Robs his Em - ployers of Several Thousand Dol tars. From the Louisville Democrat, Nov. 11. We were Saturday put in possession of ,he following facts, which are entirely re liable. A man by the name of Isham Horn, who has for some time been em ployed by the firm of Hanons d Milland, doing a military and naval collecting bu sinebs in Sonora, Missouri, and who was intrusted with the money of the firm, eloped a short time since with a young and beautiful lady of that place, taking seven thousand dollar. of his employers' money with him. Mr. Horn had resided in Missouri for a number of years, and was the head of a large and interesting family. He was be loved and respected by all who knee him. Not keg since he made the acquaintance of a beentitul young lady residirg _in the same town, by the name of Sallie hareley, and that acquaintance soon ripened into nffection, and the two were often seen together, but owing to the high standing of the parties nothing was thought of the matter. Soon afterward an elopement between Horn and Miss Kirsley was agreed upon, and they, under the pretext of taking a baggy ride, left that city, since which time nothing has been heard of them. He left his family -in a destitute 'Condition. What direction the guilty pair took is not known, but it is supposed they came in this direction, and are probably living in some portion of this State or In diana under assumed names.

The Bombardment of Fort 8u inter. From the Richmond Examiner, Nov. 0. The monstrous bombardment of Sumter continues with unabated vigor, bat never did so great a noise attract so little atten tion. Perhaps it was never made till now for so little purpose. What the essay expect to gain by this limitless expendi ture of fixed ammunition cannot eaeily imagined, unless it is the gratisLation 01 a stupid rage on that mound of broken brick and atone. If they could strike every fragment, one by one into the water, not a step to the capture of Charleston would be achieved, for the position is un tenable, even for an hour, against the bat teries which command it. But what a glory will settle on that ruined mass if it should continue, after all their shot and their shell, to bear high in the air the standard of the Confederate States. Whisky fp Again. From the Richmond Examiner, Nov. S. Yesterday the barkeepers in the city, generally, put up the price of ',lain whi,ky to one dollar and fifty cents per drink. and the fact was silently conveyed to Ile apprehensions and purses of customers by printed placards posted behind the hero.

The hoarders should be made to come to terms, that is, to put their stores in the market. Several of the leading proprietws of faro banks on Bain street are altering the interior of their establishments, with n view of fitting them up as Ca fes and supp saloons. This is landablo, as there wt exist a need for them this winter. From the Wchmoad Ennturcr, Nov. the "Dent Mills," about eight mile from Newnan, in the county of Coweta. Ga., the finest in that section of cnuntrv. with a large amount of wheat and corn, valued at $25,000, were set tire to one night last week, and totally destroyed. The mills were owned by citizens of At Tanta. A Military Election Farce. From the Fort Wayne dad . Feo.inel We have repeatedly alluded to the farce of having elections held in our military camps, where the soldiers are coerced by their officers either to vote as they may indicate, or to stay from the polls alto• gether. It is an outrage, on the sanctity of the ballot•box, and the vote taken is no index of the feelings of the soldiers It only shows the views of the officers, and too many of them, having au eye to pro motion, seek to curry favor by absolutely compelling the men to vote in snob way as the Administration may dictate. A case in point occurred at the late election held in Louisville, by the Uhiu troops stationed there. At the Exchange Barracks 310 votes were cast. only two of which were for Vallancligham. The two that voted for Vallandlgham were imme diately arrested and placed under guard. One of these arrested men is a citizen of Defiance County, Ohio, and is well known there as a worthy and respectable man, whose word may be implicitly relied on. For voting as his conscience dictated, he was arrested and threatened to be shot ! With such revelations in view, who can deny that the military elections are a farce—au outrage on the sanctity of the ballot box--and that instead cf being a privilege to the soldier, it only renders, him a passive slave in the hands of his of fivers, or subjects him to the grossest out rages if he determines to exercise his rights as a free man. The Defiance Democrat publishes extract from 1, hi.. rorlow the soldier above alluded to, giving an account of the treatment he received because he ventured to vote for Vallandigham. Read his statement : Iron City College. This is doubtless the largest and moat extensively patronized commercial school in the United States, During the last ten years it has built up a reputation of which any iLstitution might well feel proud.

Takin.; into congideration the thorough and extensive course of study adopted here, the assiciuouw att: ution bestowed on the rupila by the Principals who are well known to bu competent and experienced teachers as well as practical business men, and the excellent order at all times pre vailing in and about the college, makes this perhaps the most desirable place on the continent for obtaining a reliable bu siness education. Escape of Mrs Robinson, the Rebe Spy. Some time ECP named Rob i neon was arrested in 're: neecee on a charge of being a rebel spy. She was taken Ir tore a military cunt t martial, found•guilty ot the charge prcterred, and sentenced to imprisonment during the existence of the rnbelliom She imprisoned a short time in Nashville, but the close prcximity of bands of guerriilas to that city induced the military a,n hordi:,s :none her to Jetlersobvilie, where she r ,, auiried until Morgan and li.te hoop te [',ceders entered Indiana and api rhaehed that trio City ot the Fade. She was then brough, to Ciu citified and lodged is the McLean bar racks.

Arriving at the depot the mother suddenly screamed out--" Foe hare left iny baby behind .• The sergeant replied, • ti,,, madam, I have it here," and opened the shawl to prove the truth of his assertion. Instead of the innocent babe the Berg« ant discovered that he had carried very tenderly to the depot a pil low neatly tied ana wrapped in a large shawl.

A Heroine ----- Among the convalescent soldiers who came up trom (inctustait last evening, was a middle ay, iv Wen tiarned Mrs. Frau Claytou. wt.., had served twenty two in,-mtlis in the army as a private soldier. without Let sex being discovered. She was anxious to go to St. Paul, Minnesota —her former home—but being destitute of funds, could not proceed further than here, where she remained during the night. This morning Mr. Clark Warren kindly raised by subscription, a sum necessary to pay her expenses to St. Paul, and the poor woman will proceed thither during the day. Our reporter gait.ed few facts from Mrs. Clayton this morning in regard t 3 nrnantic history.
