We percctvo that tiro President has acted upon
tho views expressed by us, a tp tho morale of
tho recent elections, In our Issie of Saturday,
namely, that It Is the procrastlnators who have
been condemned by the people at the polls.
Wo take It for granted that hi Is about to give
tho chief procrastlnator of tha'war an oppor
tunity to explain those portions of his conduct
that havo so loug puzzled the nation. But the
President w 111 disregard tho voire of the people
If ho does not substitute for procrastlnatora men
of action, of deedsj not of words and of prom
lscs.
There la but one man who, by vlrtuo of
his deeds, tho victories ho has, won, tho rebel
armies ho has captured or dispersed, the town,
cities, and fortified places ho has reduced,
and tlie conquests he has made, who, Is entitled
to bo placed In the field as commander In-chlcf
of tho armies of the United Stato, under, Abra
ham Lincoln.
It was currently reported in tho city, ester
day, that Gen. Hooker Is to succeed Gen. Mc
Clellan lo tho command of tho Potomac armyi
and that Gen. Bnmslde la ordeml to report to
tho War Department to-day.
General McClcllan's hold on tho army lit said
to bo universal and complete, and It Is predic
ted from this fact, that thcro will bo trouble on
account of his removal. Wo do not sympnthlze
with this notion, because wo know If there he
patriotism anywhere, It is In tho army. Our
bravo soldiers aro chiefly anxious to meet the
rebels and whip them; and It matters not so
much who lends them to victor), as that they
hive the opportnnlt to achieve a complete
triumph over tho defiant and lusolcut foe.
This they will hnve. A gentleman recently
from tho front, tells us that notwithstanding
tho prlvatlous and sufferings which our army
endures, all Is lonie with the most unexampled
fortitude and without complaint. God bless
our bravo soldiers and send them a speedy
victor. This Is all that Is needed to cheer the
loyal heart lioth in and out of tho army.

Mr. Rolicrt Waters, ono of tlio watchmen, In
going his rounds, about half-past ten o'clock,
was requested by ono of the prisoners to allow
him to obtain a drink of water, which he ac
ceded to, thus allowing the prisoner to pass
him. No sooner had this been done, than ono
of tho most desperate of the gang seized Mr.
Waters by tho throat, and, with tho assistance
of the others, gagged him, threw him upon the
uuur, aim uuanu nini nanu onu loot. Ken
dered perfectly helpless, Mr. Waters considered
discretion tho better part of valor, and prom
ised lo give no alarm if they would refrain from
further violence. They then obtained tho kevs

two there, whoso conversation frightened tho
prisoners from their purpose, and without fur

They stated that could the havo obtained a

It Is said that had any other person opened

this was scarcely felt, and oil tho parts were

Miss Western's Lady Isabel was, lu all Its v a

James M. Nixon, tho Indefatigable proprietor
oi cuo urcmorue circus, nas upon mo ram a
scenic hippo-dramatic spectacle that will far
supersedo any equestrian splendor ever brought

interest and startling representations. In It
aro Introduced triumphant processions, grand

of tho gay scenes attendant upou a royal carol,

This spectacle w as one of Mr. Nixon's origi

Dr. Yon Afoschzlsker, the eminent oculist aud

themselves. Dr. Von Moschzlsker has also,
lately paid particular attention to diseases of the
throat, as It Is well known that numerous cases
of deafness arise from throat diseases and ca
tarrhal affections, and ho performed somo re
markable cures in diseases of the air passages,
we, therefore advise all thoso w ho suffer from
