ties of the war will be fought before the North is reached by them. Our forcea will probably retreat across the Rappahannock, but no further. The inactivity of the Army of Virginia is over with, and the battles of this war are about to begin, if we are not much mistaken. The special to the New York World nays it is openly asserted by the e mancipationints that the long political struggle is drawing to a close, and that the President overbore by the pressure brought upon hint, will insue a decree giving freedom to all slaves before the 15th of September. This measure is resolutely opposed by Seward and Rlair of the Capinct. MONDAY, 25TII. A dispatch Irom Fortress Monroe says that Williamsburg was evacuated by the Union troops on the 2üth inst. A junction of the forces of Pope McClellan and Rurnside has been effected. The whole army is now on the north side of Rappahamiock. The despatches

from there say that there will be no further retreating. Newspaper correspondents have been expelled from the Army of Virginia. Hophisville, Ky, has been captured by the rvbeis. The property of John Slidell, in New Orleans, has been con fiscated by order of Gen. Rutler. Another order commands the turning over to the United States aJI arms in New Orleans. Gen. Wright, Commander of Department of Ohio, has Iiis headquarters at Cincinnati.

He says that the danger at Washington, if not passed, is met and met as we would wish it. That Gen. Halleckfs "forty-eight hourn of peril" have elapsed and all is well. The tone of the Government Cabinet, War ollice, Halleck's Headquarters is jubilant. He thinks we may hatfe terrible battles yet one terrible one we are almost certain to have but we shall fight to win, and with ttie troops to do it. He thinks European affairs have never worn so favorable an aspect before since the rebellion first broke out. The new call for GOOjOOO troops has had something to do with this change. WEDNESDAY, 27tU. An engagement at Warrenton, Va., in which our forces were successful in driving the enemy from the town, is reported as taking place on the 25th inst. THURSDAY, 2StII. The dailies are filled with startling rumors. A tiirht is reported with St me wall Jackson, in which our forces took thirteen guns. The rebels were very tender of McDowell's baaire in their raid upon Cnllett's Station and very savage with Pope's let-; ters, linen, etc. It is also repor ted that Sigel has killed McDowell, and that Alary land is ready to declare open war against the Government. Our readers can believe these reports or not, as they choose. The Result in Delaware, Union, and Fayette. The result of the primary election in these counties on last Saturday one week ago was received too late for last week's paper.

with the rules of legislation than any new member that we can send, which enables him to successfully detect and and expose the management and intrigues of wire-working and dishone.-t poli ticians. The Cincinnti Gazette says that a people who have suller ed so terribly from treachery and weakness in those they have elected to power, would be unwise to throw aside those who have proved faithful. The cause needs men of positive qualities pluck, backbone and force. Men of all parties, who sincerely desire to unite lor a vigorous prosecution of the war, will unite on those who have shown the most vigor and determination, and the best appreciation of the issue. This is true conservatism. Mr. Julian has been one of the "faithful." He is known to be the possessor of "pluck, backbone and force." The distracted condition of our country demands that Mr. Julian be returned to his seat in Congress without opposition, and if bis enemies prove as magnanimous in the present campaign as he has been in the past, he certainly will be. Four years ago when defeated by this same opposition, he went to work and stumped 'die District for his bit terest personal enemy.

Luliaitajwlis Journal, Tho Farce in Wayns County. On "the :5d Saturday in August" the disorganizers'' of Wayne, in pursuance of an order from the Indianapolis bogus Committee, held an 'election" for "delegates to attend the Cambridge City Convention'' that was to be. Six hundred vntcs) were polled. $vcn townships refused to participate in any manner whatever, and three odicrs cast six or eight ballots each! At the primary election held in April last l,60 votes were ed in Old Wavne. Randolph County did not vote "on the 3d Saturday in August" for delegates to attend the Cambridge City Convention and why? Simply because the peopie had, long ago and at the prop- '' time, expressed their choice i?ui i uuiiiiiiauiig cauiuuuics ir Ihce.
