A despatch nf June 29 from Louisville says : ) Jesse’s rebel pang, numbering from twenty to i thirty, attacked Bardstovvu yesterday morning. ■ The garrison of the place, numbering twenty-five J men surrendered. The rebels then moved down the railroad, and I destroyed the bridge and water station near Bos ton. Thence they went across ilie Nashville rail- ] road, two miles north of Elisabethtown, and ■when last heard from they were going towards j Litchfield. Gen. Sherman, in a despatch reports that he 1 was premature in announcing that the enemy hud abandoned bis position, and stales, that although Johnston has abandoned all bis works m front of the Kenesaw Mountain, he still holds that moun tain, as the apex of Uis position, where he was closely pressed yesterday, notwithstanding the continued rain, which makes all movements al most an impossibility. An order Ims been issued by the War Depart ment, el tlie request of Gen. Foster, to transfer to him live general officers of the enemy, to lie held under their liio before Charleston, as a retaliatory measure for the placing of the same number of Federal officers in that city, under our fire, of which he has been officially notified by Major ■ Gen. Jones. 1 Despatches from the correspondents of the As sociated Press, giving further details of the battle | on Friday in front of Petersburg, which has al ready been officially announced. From .these it! appears that up to Saturday all the prisoners ta ken amount to 1,200, and that in all 21 pieces of artillery have been captured. The enemy, being generally behind their entrenchments, and not so much exposed, suffered less thnu .he Union army, whose loss during the two days is estimated at 8,000 killed aud wounded. A general order has been issued by the War Department, requiring, first, that all sick and wounded officers absent from their commands, not fit for duty in the field, but able to sit in courtsmarliai, immediately report their names and address to the Adjutant General of the army, i Second, all staff, ami regimental medical officers | now on leave in the Department in the East, j in New Jersey, theeastern part of Pennsylvania i aud the eastern part of Maryland, if able to travel, will report to the nearest medical di rector for examination, and those found unlit for active service, but able to do hospital duty, i will be ordered to report immediately at the hos- I pilal at Camp Parole, near Annapolis, Md , for such duty as the surgeuu may require of them. The present aggregrnte of the public debt, in cluding all the legal tender notes and unpaid re quisitions, amounts to $1,719,395,1(58. The in terest-bearing legal tender notes which have been withdrawn amount to §38,890,709. The ordi nary legal tender notes which have been with drawn and placed in reserve amount to $17,258,- 872. Of course it will.be necessary to replace a portion of the 5 per cent, iegr.l tenders with com pound interest at 6 per cent. Tile Steamer Fulton, from Port Royal on the | 15th, has arrived. The rebels opened fire from ! Sullivan’s and James’ Island on the 7th, which was replied to by our guns, but no damage was i sustained by us. At night the guns of Fort Put nam opened on a rebel steamer bound from Charleston to Sumter, laden with troops and sup plies. She was disabled and ran aground, and ) t daylight she was demolished by our guns. Despatches from the Army of the Potomac, re- ’ reived through the Associated Press, hut none o! an official character, Sunday is represented as having been comparatively a quiet day. Skir- i mishing and artillery filing occurred at intervals j during the day, in which the Fifth Corps lost; about one hundred men. The enemy, ut 10 j o’clock on Saturday, made an assault, which was | repulsed. The latest despatch is dated at Ber- 1 rouda Hundred on Monday morning at 10.30 o’clock, and states that emnonading had been | going on from half-past 8 o’clock. No information of military operations in any 1 other quarter has been received. The official bulletin datrd at 10 o’clock last 1 night states that no report of the operations of yesterday, on the James River, had been received at the War Department. Unofficial accounts re ceived at Washington, represent the Federal loss in the several assaults on the enemy’s works, on Saturday last to have been severe; but there had been no official report made of lire casualties.— I There has been nothing reliable received from , General Butler. ■lt is stated that numerous guerilla parties are ; prowling about Loudoun county, West Virginia, and that a lew days ago they made their appear ance at Waterford, and seized Mr. Samuel L. Steer, the United States Treasury agent at the Point of Rocks, and carried him off towards Up pervillc. Several prominent secessionists were immediately arrested and taken to the Point -of Kooks, where they were released on giving forty thousand dollars security for Mr. Steer’s safe re turn or themselves to custody. On the 17th in - atant the dwelling and barn of Mr. Sydney Wil liams, of the same county, were set on fire by guerillas and entirely consumed. Mr. VV. was absent at the time, hut hia wile was at home, and was compelled to witness lire destruction of their property. The Commissary General of Prisoners recently received from the authorities at Richmond a re port of deaths of Union prisoners which had oc curred in the prison hospitals at Columbus, Geo., from the 27th of February to the 3lsl of March. | In a little over one month there was no less than i three hundred and seventy deaths. We learn that Geu. Butler has relieved Geuer- i • nl Gilmore ot his command and ordered him to report at Fortress Monroe as under arrest and to await court-m irtial. We also learu that Gen. Grant, upon learning the facts slated above, re leased Geu. Gtimere (Vom nt aud ordered him 1 i to report to Washington and await further or- I ders, Gen. McCi.ru, an at Easton, Pa.— General ; George B. McClellan, in company with Mr. Bar j rington, Chief Engineer of the Morris and Essex j Railroad Company, with whom he had been in j specting the line of the proposed extension of that road to Easton, arrived, savs the Lancaster | * Intelligencer, in that place on Tuesday evening, j and put up at the Franklin House. In one hour 1 after his arrival a crowd of several thousand per : sons assembled in front of the hotel, when the General stepped on the balcony. lie was greet-: ed with enthusiastic cheers from the immense throng below, and the waving of handkerchiefs from as many ladies. The scene is said to have been a brilliant one. He did not make a speech, but merely thanked the people for so gratifying a reception, and at once returned to his parlor, when as many as could possibly force their way in paid their respects to him, among whom were ; many, soldiers who had fought under him. An An vance, —The Baltimore County .4rfco eale and American have given notice to their suh j scribers that from and after the first day of July next they will raise their price of subscription to one dollar and fifty cents per year. “One dol t lar,” says the Advocate, “scarcely pays for the material and labor expended on the paper.” This |wo know from experience to be so. No one cam at the rale which lie has now to pay for every thing, afford to publish a paper the size of the Advocate or American, or even a much smaller ; size, for one dollar. Material of all kinds is more than fifty per cent, higher now than the same arti cles could be had for less than two years ago,— Besides, there seems to us no valid reason, why newspaper work should not advance in propor tion to oilier things. The Lady's Friend fob July.—The July num ber of this magazine is one of the best yet issued. It opens with a beautiful and piquant steel en graving, c-iied “How they Cacght Fish,” which j represents a couple of young lovers earnestly en gaged in conversation, apparently much to the astonishment of a party of ladies, who have just come to the edge of the woods.

Correcting the Enrollment. —We learn from the Baltimore county Advocate, that the Com missioners appointed to correct the Enrollment in Harford and Baltimore counties, have finished , their lu! ors, aud that during their sittings iu the | counties a large number appeared before them j and had their names taken from the lists, in | consequence of some permanent disability. This deduction, it is slated, materially reduces future quotas. Any who were unable to attend at the time the commission sal in their respective districts, ! can still have their business attended to at the Provost Marshal’s office in the city of Baltimore. Harvest. —From the general appearance of the wheat fields, harvest will soon be upon us, and much anxiety is felt about the scarcity of hands. We have already heard many complaints of the inability of farmers even to procure bands suffi cient to do the ordinary farm work. Our yield of wheat does not promise to be large. There is much complaint of fly, and in some localities rust, while in many fields there is but little wheat on the ground. Oats and grass, looks well, and promise fair crops. Corn and potatoes also looks well, and if the season continues good, a very fair yield may be expected. The Democratic State Convention, which met in Baltimore on the 15th inst., appointed the ■following gentlemen, delegates to the Chicago Democratic National Convention. , Delegates at Largo—Hons. R. B. Carmichael and Henry May, for the Eastern Shore ; Hons. B. jG. Harris, and B. C. Howard, for the Western Shore,. First District—Hiram McCullough and John R. Franklin ; 2d Dutrict—George H. Car man, and Col. William Kimmell; sth District —Oden Bowie aud Sprigg Harwood. In the 3d and 4lh Districts the selection of the dele gates, was referred to the people of said Districts. - Had His Hearing Restored. The Erie Ga zette says, that on Thursday, the 20th of May, iu : Green township, Capt. Amos Walker, an aged : citizen, who has been very deaf fob many years, i had his hearing suddenly restored during a thun ! der storm on that afternoon. Capt. Walker i states that immediately after a very loud report of thunder, bis head seemed to “feel ah hollow, ’> and that he told those about him. he could dis tinctly hear all they said. Ho is now able to converse without the slightest difficulty, hears as well as persons fifty years old generally do, and presenting in his case a curious fact for the in vestigation of the learned and scientific. —. Cubcolio— A. P. Richardson, of Norfolk l county, Massachusetts, says the Newark (N. J.) Journal, thinks his success in preventing the at tacks of curculio is such as to warrant him in suggesting his plan to others. As soon as the trees blossom, their trunks are surrounded by cotton saturated with kerosene oil. This is placed a foot or two from the ground, and the oil is renewed once or twice a week, as long as the curcalio continues to appear. Emigration on the Increase. —The steamer Virginia, which arrived at New York last week from Liverpool, brought out 31 cabin and 997 steerage passengers, exceeding iu number any previous arrival, except that of the Great East ern, in the summer of 1863, which numbered 1,012. It is said by some who profess to bo good at guessing, that the emigration will reach 260,- 000, this year. A Singular Tbee.— t is said that there is in Lowell, Mass., an apple tree which never blos soms, and yet is loaded every year with fruit.— ; Grafts from it blossom as from other trees.- The I seeds are frequently partially or wholly exposed I to view at the outside of the “blow" end of the fruit, while the centre of the fruit is us compact as that of a turnip.

John P. Hale, whose term then j expires. What has John done 7 From the FhilaMphia Age. Approaches to Richmond. In abandoning tbo Mechanicsville route i to Kicbtuond Gen. Grant has done wisely j The fortifications of the city, from the i north around to the cast* arc too strong for direct quacks. Grant has moved fur- | ther down the Cbickabominy, and will | advance from the east and south-east.— From New Bridge to Bottom’s Bridge the Cbickabominy runs a south east course for seven miles. New Bridge is six miles east-north-east from Richmond, and Bot tom's Bridge is twelve miles east of Rich mond. Between these two bridges the riv ver runs almost directly from the town, and below Bottom’s Bride it ceases to be available fur defence. The road from ' Richmond to New Bridge, after crossing the river, passes u short distance north-1 cast of Gaines’ Mills, and then turns east, i running past Coal Harbor to White House I The White House Railroad runs east from Richmond, and crosses the Cbickabominy \ three-quarters of a mile above Bottom’s Bridge. South of the railroad, and pa- j rallel to it, distant from half a mile to a mile from it, is a turnpike, known as the [ Williamsburg road. It crosses the Chick- | ahominy at Bottom’s Bridge, and passes j down the Peninsula to Williamsburg and Yorktown... _ j Below Bottom’s Bridge the Chieka-1 hominy is not defended, and the Federal army could, by a movement in that direc- 1 tion, cross the river and turn this position j of the enemy. The lop of the ridge forti-: fied by the Confederates, is a flat table ] land, about a mile broad, covered with | j but few forests. On it are Gaines’ Mills ! and Gaines’ House. At the back it slopes down to the Cbickabominy Swamp, Where tbo railroad crosses, the swamp is wider than it is above. The trees grow ing up from the river are larger and the foliage more luxuriant. A high, long j trestle bridge is necessary for the crossing. | Between this bridge and New Bridge are various roads and crossing places, built by Gen. McClellan. All of them arc now used by the Confederates. From the swamp, which is here nearly two miles wide, and without a tree excepting those j which grow up out of the liver, the hills | slope up very steeply on jhe Richmond : side. Heavy forests cover the tops and , sides of all of them, and along the entire range there is every opportunity for Con federate defence. An army crossing the I wide expanse of bare swamp from the ri- | ver’s edge to the bases of the bills, would ! run great risks. At New Bridge, Old Tavern Hill is the name of the ridge. Below it, the next peak is Lewis’ Hill, ana then Trent Hill. Below Trent Hill is the railroad crossing, and the Cbicka homiuy Swamp here joins the White Oak Swamp, a vast wilderness, extending south of Richmond and almost to the Janies ri ver. The railroad crosses the upper cor ner of this swamp, and then passes through the Fair Oaks Swamp. A more dismal place than Fair Oaks Swamp can scarcely be imagined. The pine forests, nearly all pf them slashed to make abattis; the soft ground, with water oozing out at every foot step; the thick undergrowth, and the damp, disagreeable atmosphere, . are well remembered by all who have ever been there. Every road over which even bodies of foot soldiers have to go, must be built of timber. In this swamp the bat tle of Fair Oaks was fought. Grant must pass it, and if it is successfully crossed new obstacles will confront the advance. From Old Tavern Hill, southeast runs the outer ridge of the Richmond defences. It is from five to six miles from the town. The inner ridge is parallel to it, and about three miles from town. Various little streams, some emtying into the James River and some into the swamps, form de pressions and gullies of great assistance in forming the defensive line. From Fair Oaks Swamp the outer ridge slopes gradu ally up, and on the top are fortifications defending the approaches by the various \ roads. If the Coal Harbor line is carried or turned by the Federal army, the Chieka hominy must bo crossed; then the hills be yond it carried; then Fair Oaks Swamp must be captured; and after all, the army, still five miles from Richmond, will be con fronted by other hills bearing the defen sive works of the town. The works southeast of Richmond, are almost as formidable as those northeast of ir. The strength of the defenses on the l New Bridge road has already been slated, j On the railroad and Williamsburg road, | tier after tier of forts confront an tvdvan-1 ciug force. Abattis protect ail. They ! are on high places, from which (heir can non can sweep along the roads and over the fields. They cannot be turned, for White Oak Swamp, south of them, pre- j snnts no advantage for a flanking party. I North of them the Confederate works,! along the Cbickabominy above New | Bridge have already been unsuccessfully tried. Increase of Emigration —There j were four thousand two hundred and eight ty eight arrivals of European emigrants at ; New York last weik, which makes the: whole number of arrivals since January 1 eighty-one thousand one hundred and twen-1 1 ty-nine. The number who arrived up to 1 the corresponding date last year was fifty- j 1 five thousand four hundred and twenty-1 seven. Horrible. —The fact that several in terostinggirlshave lately disappeared from 1 the vicinity of Utica, N. Y., has led to the 1 discovery of a secret society regularly or ganized for the purpose of kidnapping and transporting to New York city, for infa- 1 mous purposes, such girls us might be 1 marked out tor its victims. f i Fifty Dollars Bounty.— The Com- I missiuuers of Kent county, Maryland, of- \ > | for a bounty of fifty dollars to volunteers j, | to fill the quota of the county under the 1 ' I Governor's call f.>r two thousand men for j | I one bundled days service. From the Richmond Examiner. • May God Defend the Right That wonderful despatch from the | “Headquarters in the Saddle,” which we j published yesterday, certainly shows a j mostchcerful buoyancy of disposition in the i Yankee nation. Once more, as if noth j ing of the sort had ever happened before, | it is announced that ‘‘On to Richmond is now the Watchword and reply.’’ “Whole i army again in motion,” as if it had never i been in motion before, and “By night we will be within four hour’s march of Kicb i mond !” Why, they have been ere now within two hour’s march of Richmond, | yet somehow failed to arrive there. — Lee, also, the same despatch affirms, “is again out generaled’’—by that masterly movement, namely, from the Llapidan to the I'amunkey, at a cost of seventy thou sand men, which might have beeu accom plished without the loss of one. Nothing I couid be more chEery than the jolly strat egy of this saddle correspondent. He says playfully, “Once getting Lee snugly ensconced in his works, away we i go around his flanks and into his rear.” [ Capital fun ! Nor is it the saddle corn.B - pondent alone who is so jovial. Secretary Stantou also announces a despatch from j Grant, “that everything comeson finely;” j and another despatch from Washington ‘ i says, “There are the best possible spirits ; to-uiglit in official circles.” Those most j mercurial and irrepressible official circles i were in just as higli spirits on the same j night gone two years. Then, also, On to | Richmond was the watchword and reply ; | and yet tiro unconquerred young Napole j on had reached, without the slaughter of seventy thousand of his troops, a position I quite as close to his predestined prey. It ;is now announced, and received, doubt \ loss, with jubilation throughout all the .North, that “every cannon fired tbo last j week has been heard in Richmond,” as if j Richmond had never heard any cannon before. Marvellous, indeed, is the elasti city of that Yankee mind. Crush it to the earth a dozen times—sink it over and over in the very depths of despondency, i still it springs up again as merry as ever, j singing out, Who's afraid ? Victory is in j our grasp at last! Once this, or onco that position gained, and “away we go!” 0 o would almost begin to fancy that the enemy is really persuaded this time that he is indeed on the eve of the capture of Richmond, but for the one trifling eir j cuuistance that gold has risen to one hun i dred and eighty-eight. This proves to | our minds that those at the North who know best, and have the most immediate interest in the matter, do not believe the Yankee army is ever to come on to Rich j mond at all —which is also decidedly the | opinion of Richmond herself. If those ■ highly excited official circles of Washing ton and delighted newspaper readers of New Y r ork and Boston could but see the tranquil serenity of these embowered streets at t r is day how respectfully our people go about their business; how qui etly they buy and sell, or even marry and ar given in marriage as in th day when Noe ente ed Into the ark. It is true thev know that a mighty power has gathered countless hosts around this place commis sioned to rase it utterly, and leave not one stone upon- another ; true they know that accurate plana of the “Doomed City,” multiplied by the hundred thousands, point out this very moment every approach to their peaceful homes, and indicate each most advantageous method of crushing, sacking and burning tbo place, drenching these leafy shades with blood, and strew ing them with mangled bones and spatter ed brains. True, also, that they feel in their souls how much more blessed on that day of doom, if it should ever dawn upon them, would be the mangled dead than the land less, houseless living; they do hear every day—the Yankee acoustics are correct — the roar of cannon flaming in front and flank of that enormous host, advancing “with a celerity never known before ;” they are well aware that this very night, before the stars shine out —if only one ob stacle were removed—there might boa hundred thousand brigands in blue swarm ing in every street, rampant in every i house, until the work of slaughter and ra- I pine were done; and then, in a pyramid of fire, the city of their pride and love would rush skyward, with all its pleasant dwellings, witu the hearths at which its old people have sat, and the cradles in which its children have been rockeo. Its murmuring river, reddened with flame and blood, would flow hereafter past mounds of gore-clotted cinders, which should stand for generations a monument i of Yankee vengeance. Yes, they know all this; yet to-night | they will lie down pcac fully to r- st, irust ■ ing iu Providence that the morning sun I will shine as serenely into their windows, through the whispering trees, as on any morning of the la t hundred years. It is not that our people are boastful or pre sumptuous, or unconscious of danger, or | insensible to the unutterable evils and curses which would come iu a moment ! upon them and theirs in case of the eno ! my’s success. They know well that the j fortune . f battle is doubtful, and that each j iustant of time may bring ou the great ar j bitramont. But they are not demons ra ! tive, nor by any means histrionic. The i roll of the great artillery is in their cars ; i hut they only set their teeth within closed | lips ; they have soot forth their 1 rarest I and their dearest to stem that roaring tids of tell foes, and can hut await the awards lof a just God in heaven. They feel, too, lin every fibre of their hearts, that in the vety best event which can befall, many a gallant gentleman will be low in the dust, whose single life could not be paid by a thousand of tbe base rabble-rout he bolds at buy. Yet, after all, it is also felt that this Richmond is our city; and that no living creature be permitted to enter it against our will; and that if any enemy do come iu, it cannot be saved over our dead bodies; and that now, even as in obi time, u is honorable and even delightful {path Juice and decorum ) t j die for our country.— .What a contrast is this we have sketched between the spirit and attitude ot the two people now in presence upon this soil I The one race crazy with greediness and in toxicated with asenseof brute powerin their numbers and material resources, furiously striving to crush out of existence a people 1 who have never wronged them, and exult | ing with loud senseless glee iu tile near 'approach ol the day that will crown with success the foulest national crime in histo ry :—on the other side, a community of high-spirited freemen, seeking nothing in the world that is not theirs, doing and aiming to do neither hurt nor barm to any fellow creature, standing up iu defense of their own hearth; ami homes, sternly si lent in the simple might of their own man hood, with the uniique heroism that in all ages has impelled brave men to endure and dare all things for country and honor. Looking upon which contrast, and deeply penetrated with its significance, let every man say with all his heart, may God de fend the right! The Rust of Wheat and its Remedies. From the article on “The Wheat Plant,” by Lewis Bellman, of Bloomington, Ind., I published in the r port of the Commis sioner of Agriculture, we extract the fol lowing remarks in relation to rust: “The oldest of our histones, the Bible, frequently nl udos to it ns common among the Jews, ami represents it as one of the punishments inflicted on that disobedient people. They were warned that disobedi ence would be followed ‘with blasting and with mildew ;’ and when thus punished, the prophet Haggai says: I. smote you with blasting aud with mil lew, and with hail, in all the labors of your hands ; yet ye turned not to me, saitli the Lord.”— The Hebrew name for the rust, yareoon, meaning a yellow color caused by mois ture, is indicative of the cause aud appear ance of the disease then as wo find them now. The Grecian and Roman writers have transmitted to us like names aud cau • ses. The Greeks called it erusilee, and the Romans ruhijo. Ovid describing the ru bigalia, a religious festival established by one of the earliest rulers of Rome, makes the priest say, “If the sun fervently heats the moist stalks, then, 0 dread goddess, is the opportunity for thy dread wrath. Be meroifuj, I pray, and withhold thy rusting hands from the crops.” In all times, and among every civilized people, this disease, existed, and a moist stalk heated by a hot sun is tbe cause of it; hence heavy dews, precipitated by clear, cool nights, succeed ed by a hot sun during the day, soon de velops the disease now as it did in the most ancient periods. It was not until the microscope was invented that the true nature of the disease was known. There is a species of plant which lives ou tbe sap of other plants, called parasite. The rust and smut are plants of this character.'— The microscope shows the fact that rust is a perfectly formed plant, having roots, stems, and branches, and producing seed too small for the unaided eye to discover. These exist in innumerable quantities in the atmosphere, awaiting the condition es sential to their germination aud develop ment. What these are wo have already seen. In the language of Ovid, they are the sun fervently beating ou the moistened stalks. When this moisture proceeds from showery weather, no danger need be ap prehended ; but when from dews precipi tated by cool nights, then tbe rust rapidly develops itself. Whether the moisture in drying so rapidly causes a contraction of the outer portion of tbe stem so as to produce splitting, or whether the coolness of tbe i night causes it is nut certainly ascertained, i Be this as it may the result is tbesame—an j imperceptible spiittiugof the straw through I which the sap oozes out. Tbe invisible j aud multitufinous seeds of the rust attach | themselves to this sap, and burying them ; selves ru vegetate, striking their ] roots'Tu the openings of the straw, thus di- I verting to themselves the sap of the plant, ; which should go to the, filling out aud ri i pening of tbe grain. Hence it so rapidly shrivels, aud often becomes worthless, j “What is the remedy against this evil? The Romans sacrificed a red bitch on Ihe altar of the Goddess Ruhigo, the priest en treating her to withhold her rusting hands. If the farmers could be persuaded to sac i rifieo all bitches to the goddess, then an al tar ought to be erected to her on every j farm, for the indirect benefit to the wheat crop by increased sheep husbandry would ! more than compensate all losses from ; the rust. “The Jewish prophets regarded the : blasting and mildew as a punishment of | the sins of the people But, regarding I the remedy for rust through the miero j scope, we find that it is not in all stages of the growth of the plant that the straw is j liable to split under heavy dews and a i hot sun. It is not in its growing state but iu its ripening stage only, that this re | suit is produced. Hence, whatever rapid ! ly shortens the ripening stage lessens the j danger. “For this purpose there is nothing equal to stable manure, the precise effects j of which on the soil aud on the wheat crop \ i will bo stated under the head of manures. Another remedy is in immediate harvest-j ing when the crop is affected by the rust. ' The fallowing instructive experiments j | on this point I find in Mr. Klippart’s es j j say on wheat, Mr. George D. Hendricks, | of Preble county, Ohio, writes Mr. Klip ! part us follows :—“ln 1842 I hud a large I field seriously aff-citd by rust, and, hav- I ing read in the Oeuewe Farmer the ne cessity of early cutting, I pul a hand cra j die to work aud left; was absent a few i days, and, ou my return, found my baud I had only cut a few dozen of sheaves, avow- i ing that it was so green he knew it would :be worthless. I then procured hands, and i had the field out, but too late for more I than half a crop, whilst llje portion cut al i first was plump, and bad well filled j grains.” SaSfTlie ForllunJ Ari/us gives ourren -1 cy to the rumor that all who jute the new Abolition “league,” take an oath to k ep at least a league from gunpowder and bullets: The guerillas arc threatening the navigittiou of the Missouri river, between Rocbeport aud Independence. They tiro on every upward-bound steamer. From the New York Mercury ( Rep .) The One-Term Principle. To whatever depths of political intrigue ' corrupt officeholders may stoop in their cn | dcavors to secure u.monoply of office; how l ever much the tools of such may prate about ; j the blessings pertaining to the doctrine of ! j re-election, the minds of the people and I! kbe genius of true republican institutions are thoroughly and only wedded to tho f [ one-term principle. Possibly, Mr. Lin- J Coin, in tho enthusiasm with which he is ' endeavoring to usurp for life the Prcsiden j ,l “l chair, bs overlooked this truth. If so, the march of events will speedily sug gest it. Monopolies in politics are cssen-r r j tially inonurehial iu their spirit. Long i terms and double terms, whether hcredi ' 'ary or bestowed, savor too much of the ‘ | vicious institutions of the Old World. It is this ideutical ouo.term principle j which is one of the lest features of the t j Chicago Republican platform; and oven those who may oppose it upon the grounds ,; of a temporary expediency, admit its - , sound wisdom and its peculiar value. In - consonance with the literal spirit of ro ! publicauiani, it presents no phase in which > iit can be productive of injury to tha : wholesome political interests of the peo -3 pie. For such reasons, it will bo sustani t ed not only by tho active support of the - independent press, but by tho influence 1 and vote of every thinking man. Mi. , Lincoln’s attempt to entail the Presidency i is one which bears the appearance of in > j gratitude and dishonesty of purpose; and t j despite the patronage and promises which - i his adherents may use as magnets where* > | with to attract the suffrages of loyal men, - : the attempt must miserably fail.
