' The practical sagacity of the President is; daily justified. His impulses are wiser than the wary plans of more cunninz men. It is true that, in writing the letter to the A 1bany Committee, he was faintly accused in somo quarters of want of dignity. But H)oth tbe resolution to write and the time off writing were most happy illustrations of hij shrewdness, while tho letter itself is unan swerable, and will henceforth Le a constitnent part of tbe body of Constitutional in. terpretation. His replies to Qovernor Heymour are not less excellent in their way. - In fact, from the moment of his inauguration it will appear that he lias fulfilled every duty of bis great office with an ability ' not less remarkable than his honesty. The desperate effort to make him seem to ho a partisan has utterly failed. He has aimed onlr at tbe maintenance of the Government; ' . and to secure that end he has no more hesitated to adopt m policy which his own party approved than ho has to lake -measures which tbe parly opposed to him applauded. He- has filled the chief posts of command with men of all political views. Yet he has been most sharpfy denounced from the be ginning oi the war no less by his old party friends (ban enemies. 1 he consequence is, that, at this moment, ho stands a little out- , side of all parties even among loyal mon. The rebels, and their tools tbe Copperheads, of course, hate him. Tha War Democrats doubt some points of his policy. The Conservative Republicans think him too much in the hands of the radicnls ; while the radioal Republicans think him too slow, yielding, and halfhearted. And yet, without doubt, the more thoughtful and patriotic men of all parlies can not but see how time confirms his wisdom, and were a President to be named to-morrow they would declare for Mr. Lincoln. , So kind is his temperament, and so patriotic his policy, that the emancipation act from bis hands could not seem, and never has seemed, to be a partisan movement. From the beginning he did not doubt the right of emancipation as a military measure. But he carefully declared the ol ject of the war to be the maintenance of the Government. When Fremont and Hunter issued their orders ho quietly revoked them, not, as he said, because such measures were wrong, but because in his view the time for them had not come, and when it came, he must exercise the power. When it did come, he warned the rebels last September that he had never doubted the possible military necessity might arise ; that a military ma aura an (rravn and SO 102 asitated ahonld not besummarilr adopted ; that he admonished them, if they feared the consequences of such a measure, to escape them by submission to the laws ; and that if they did not submit within three months the measure would beoome a part of the policy of the Government. The rebels sneered, and' their allies the Copperheads organized. Ths disastrous failure of M'Clollan'a and Pope's campaigns, with the retirement of Lee in good order after Antietam, the long inaction of the auturan. and the removal of M'Clellan, dispirited many and disaffected some to the war. The consequences were seen in tbe lections. Mr. Horatio Seymour is a specimen of the result Hut thsvPresident did not waver. The country was to bo saved, if at all, by a policy which was not approved by the virtual friends of the rebellion. , The opposition of such gentlemen as Mr. Seymour and his managers was the conclu- ! aive argument for that policy. Therefore. 1 on the 1st of Jaauaiy, the order of emanct- j pation waa issued and all persons held on ' that day aa slaves within specified limits vera freed. , To that order, and the policy which dictated it, every sincerely loyal man accedes. If or it waa clearly not an act of the President, as a partisan Republican, but as Com mander-ia-Chief, sworn to defend the Government by every military resource. The loyal men who sustain it to-day are of all j the late political parties and of all shades of, epiuiQB i-rgru to oiavorj. lugvniu - OI Tl. . I I waa not issued by the Commander in-Chief, nor u it sapportea by tbe .loyal country because alar ery is wrong, bat because it helps the enemy. Doubtless the conviction that it is the root of the war has mads many assent with more alacrity to the act of emancipation ; but the President adopted it as a military and not as a moral measure. The wT in which it was dona, and tha lima, are both indications of tbe practical wisdom of an tvoiei magiatraie. History will vindicate the President, even if oar impatfenoe should be unjust to bim. It will show that suoceedine to tha execu tive head of tba Oovernmsnt at a momeut of aatoat oomplvoatad military aad political peril, aad whaa national salvation seemed almost impotable be displayed sch simplicity, eawaestoesB, honesty, patience, and sagacity neither overwhelmed by -disaster, nor confounded by traaohery, nor. disquieted by lbs distrust of iTiendav--t&at be may ba truly oallad a Frovideatial man.

August J9ih. 1863) H.nry Barn, Eiriitor Alvertuer and Tribune: In your excellent Bynopsis of my remarks before the peopljf-XJetroiton-'the "2nh nit., you l.ave ribt. reported mo a fuljyas.l weald I ave ajiard ip .two or three ptrlicu lar. and, wits jfhr crmisston, I will ray in the form of a le'.ter, what I did say. or ought to have said, on the occasion referred to. You will pcrcievo that the omissions -p-ilair wholly to other Tegiments than my .(wd,, and it . is as au act of justice to the o'.htr regiments cl this brigad, that. I ask you insert in your columns this communication. This brigade, "formerly the 4th, now 1st, is composed of the 2J, 6'.h, and 7th Wis oonsin, 19th Indiana and 2 I'll Michigan vollunteers. We fonnd these regiments in the brigade when we joined it.

That he .. - - won tor..unseu ue lepviiMB oi a nuiui and brave commander, a reputation he has not lost since his promotion to tho rank of Brigadier Gencial. The General was wound - ed at- Uetlybburg. ana will not. prouauij, 1 . t S reioin Ms Drizade," witu which lie is a universal favorite. Wisconsin and Indiana are justly proud of these brave troops. In the J f . - ,. , ..r a,., . several eng.gemenls m wh.ch the 24th has participated, it has been our good fortune to fight side by side and 6honlder to shoulder with tln KA raiinf-nta. At Kicilricl;i,hiircr. December 13th, I8G2, all these regiments were dhttin.; tinned for the heroic manner with which "thov u iihstiind r.ne t,f tho Kevrrest artillery fires of the war - - - . . : Crossing, April 29 ;b. Oen. Meredith his brigade were thanked in general orders for their gallantry. At Gettysburg these regiments suffered nearly as much as the "21th," and both officers and men behavid in a manner which won for them the respect of the Arrny of the Potomac. In your re port of my remarks you made me say iht the 19:h Indiana gave way in disorder, not iroun cowardice, but because they were overpowered ; but you did not report all that I said. I said they maintained their first li:.e of battle, until their dead were eo thick upon the ground that you might stvp from one dead body to another, and I also said that the regiment formed and reformad, contesting t very inch of ground, until it was driven back to the Seminary building. It is but just to the 19 h Indiana and my self that what .1 did say concerning it should be correctly reported. Its conduct at Get tysburg was neither, better nor worse than the other regiments of the brigade, including the "1th Michigan. I am told by Capt, J. D. Wood, Assistant Adjutant Ueneral of this Brigade, that tun Meredith, and not Gen. Reynold, as I said in my remarks, selected the 24th Michigan and 6th Wisconsin regiments to lead the storming party at Fitzbugh Crossing. It is not to be supposed that these two regiments diil all tho fighting that was dene nt that place, not at all. Ech of the other regi ments 61 the brigade, ( I do not speak of other brigades,) took part and suffered 6e vcrely, especially tho 7th Wisconsin, whose 1ob in commissioned officers exceeded that of any other tegiment. Our division commanders have been Gen erals Doubleday and Wads worth. The former commanded at Fredricksburg, and by this personal bravery, and the skill with which be handled bis command on that occasion, and by his uniform kindness to the officers and men under him, was endeared to every officer and soldier in the Division. He was succeeded by General Wadswoith, for whom tho troops had the very highest respect. His personal care of his men almost equalled that of a father for his children. At Fitshugh Crossing and Gettysburg, Geo. Wadsworth exhibited the greatest bravery. Both these officers, at their own request, are relieved " from duty in this army, and have now no connecction whatever with the division.. Any notice of the part taken by this brigade in the battle o Gettysburg which ommittcd to speak of the gallant conduct of Col. Stephensonf a volunteer aid on General Meredith's staff, and Capt. Richardson, the Inspector of the Brigade, would be defective. They were both conspicuous in every part of the field for their galhn try. Capt. It., here, rs everywhere, was the fiery and dashing soldier. I should have spoken of thee things when I spoke of the battle of Gettysburg. I cheerfully pay my poor homage to the brave officers and men of the "Old Iron Brigade." Mav I not say a word of the lamented Reynolds? Mj-r-General John F. Reynolds was our Corps Commander from the time we joined tha army of the Potomac until his death, July 1st, IS53. at Gettysburg. He" was a graduate of West Point, 'and was thoroughly acquainted with all the knowledge and duties pertaining to his profession. His rank in the R'gnlar Army was at the beginning 'of the war that of Major, and by dovorion to his earnest and uncompromising pafrio'i'm, and by his gallantry in action, he had won his way to the high rank of Maj jr-General. He was a favorite with McClellan, Burnside and Hooker, all of whom have borne their willing testimony to his skill and gallantry as a sol dier: The "21th" saw him at Fredricksburg, the incarnation f bravery, moving calm and unconcerned amid showers of j death-dealing missiles. At Fitxhagh Crossing he was the sam heroic commander that he was at Fredricfcsburz. For personal daring, and haroic courage in action, per-j haps no officer in the Army of the Potomac ! - . - r, was more conspicuous man ven. tceynous. i He was an ornsment to his r iofession and country, anJ when tbe hist orv of tbis re bellion is written, the name of John F. Rey nolds will tv the roll of j the honored and-dislinsu'shed our armies. He was i mv friend, and - grati - is tribute to his memtude bids me olfar this ory. ' Yours truly. - HENRY A. MORROW.

He joined the 4th Indiana Cavalry, and was appointed as Commissary to the Reg't, and served in that capacity for about eighteen months, to the entire satisfaction of the regiment. His health, however failed, and ho resigned and came home. He offers himself as a candidate for the Clerkship nomination. Ltman C. Bliss. This gentleman, who has also offered himself for the nomination, is one of our most industrious and hardworking carpenters.

I return my sincere thanks to my many friends for their assurances of support. Respectfully, L. C. BLISS. Richmond Sept. 11, 1S63. J. W. Stafford. We have been acquainted with Mr. Swafford for years, and know him to fill the requisites demanded by Thomas Jefferson "honesty capable and faithful." He has been identified with Old Wayne, all his life, and no one has a better right to ask for office at the Lands of the People. xW cm nee the above was in type, we have received the following card from our friend Swafford: "Milton.

As to the young man's qualifications foj tho office, we are satisfied that they are excelled by no other candidate before the people.

Xatest War News: General 'Basks has recently teen ordered to, Texas, leaving Genera Grant in full command cf" the entire Kngth of the Miaaisippi. Genera! Blunt ha gained a great victory over the rebels in Arkausas. Last week our forces, 8.000 or 3,000 strong, under Gen. Averill, attacked Jones' forces near White Sulphur Springs, Western Virginia, but running out of am mur.it ion were obligrd to fall back, a'fer a severe fight, in which our side suffered a loss of 2U0 to 300.

From Charleston. A Morris Island letter of the 1st insL to the Herald says: For two or three days past a new rebel battery on Sullivan's Island has been making fruitless efforts to annoy our men in the advanoe trenches. The caliber of the gun employed is not certainly known, but supposed to be one of the 11 inch guns taken f .i - irZx. e-l " Vr--4""" urlnS e gun wob verj goou, except in one ratner important particular its range being short; and only at long intervals a shot f rom it reaches the Island. Those thrown in thus far have been solid shots, and hava done no damage other than to the sand hills, which have been hit. The great majority fall into the water outside of the beach, and expend their force upon the surf. Four monitors the Passaic Patapsco, Xahant, and Moutauk came in yesterday afternoon, and engag'd Fort Moultrie and the batteries on Sullivan' Island, firing occasoinal shots at oumter and Wagner 1 tie engagement opened about 3 30 p m., i and two hours fire was maintained with great intensity, particularly on the rebel side. The firing from Moultrie and Bittery Bee wis terrific. Their heavy guns rattled off like a snare drum in tatoo. Many shots struck the monitors but did little damage. Our heavy rifle and 15-inch shells on the irod clttJs burst with effect over and in Multrie, and sent the earth whistelingin all directions Wagner was repeatedly struck by exploding shells and somewhat damaged. She fired but few shots during the contest at tho monitors. Battery Gregg was exceedingly active. Her heavy guns were in play from the first to the last of tho engagement, and made some excellent shots. The monitors shells went wildly on all sides and had no effect in silencing her gnns. Sumter was struck several times by rifle fchells from the Passaio and Patapsco, but besides detaching masses of loose masonry.it did no further damago to the fort. No guns were dismounted. After two hours fightting the monitors withdrew. The object of the attack has not been developed. Some days since the enemy mado an effort to blow up and destroy the gunboats and transports in Stono Inlet by means of torpedoes. Fortunately no serious damage was inflicted on any of the vessels by these infernal mach'nes. One torpedo exploded a little astern of the Pawnee and blew her lanneh, which was towing astern, to fragments. A few moments later a tremendous explosion occurred on the Bird Key, a few rods below the Pawnee, occasioned by another torpedo sent down at the same time. From facts since developed it is certain that the rebels sent down that night at least feu of these inventions, of which throe or fouc exploded, and four were pickedup.and one drifted through the fleet and up .Fully river and exploded under the morter schooner C. P. Williams, but occasioned no damage. The tarpedoes are precisely like those wo have found in Lighthouse Creek and go off at the slightest concussion. The Tribune's Morris Island letter says Wagner will be held to the last moment, aud nothing, it is said, but want of water will compel her to surrender. The dead lie so thickly around her walls that the water from the shallow wells cannot be drunk. If compelled by thirst, some of the soldiers are so imprudent as to use it, and the next day they are in the hospital, and before tt.e close manyof them are in their graves. Brave attempts have boeu made to supply the garrison from C!iarletlon, but a small quantity only has been furnished. Only at midnight, or under cover of a dense fog in tbe morning have any rebel vessels been known to reach them for the past eight days. If the Monitors would only out off communication for one week longer the fort would be in our possession, and with Wagner, Gregg and the whole of Morris Island osce ours, ia a few ' hours tho stars and stripes would wave over Sumter. We are now within 1 00 jards of Wagner, and by to-morrow our heaviest Parrot ts will be able to deliver a fire at a distance of 200 yards into every embareure commanding the beach, and an enfilading one upon every gun looking seaward. Philadelphia, Sept. 7. The transport New Jersey with Charleston dates of the 3d has arrived. Ojerations were progressing favorably. On the let there was a general engagement between the iron-clads and Fort Sumter, Wagner and Moultrie. Much damage was done to the forts. The fleet Captain, Ocar O. Badger, successor to Captain Rodcrpr. had bis ett broken by a shell. It ,- is fearod amputation will be necessary. The j Ironsides was at anchor but not engaged . when the New Jersey left. Four monitors! had gone up ready for action, and werej nearly aoreasi ot Jort oumter preparatory to making a new attack. The land batteries weie firing night and day. The bombardment of the city had not been resumed, but new batteries would open at the proper time. The army was in fine spirits. Gen. Giilmore was working wi'h the ntmost energy and all were confident of success Thext?, Ga Sept. 9, via Stevenson, Ser.t.9. J At 12 o'clock to-day. Gen. Crittenden took peaceable possession of Chattanooga, the rebels Laving evacuated. Otn. Wood was put in ommand of the place.

Deliveries of 81,000 bonds i are tuade to August 5th. - j&Tho end of t la very in Missouri is hastening rapidly. A movement lias been inaugurated in Platte county for the immediate emancipation of the slaves. The loyal citizens are encouraged in this effort by the terrible condition of society in that section. The returned rebel soldiers are now in that county on a tour of pillage and murder, hardly less barbarous than the deeds nf Quantrill at Lawrence. rU . Anree Prominent Union men in Weston have been robbed many Union men have been forced to leave their farms. Parkville is more annoyed than any other town. Its citizens are con stantly on guard to save themselves from being robbed and killed. In the meantime an important step has been taken by the firm of B. W. b J. W. lewis, heavy dealers in tobacco at Glasgow. They have decided to manumit all their slaves about one hundred in number on tho first of next November, and transport all who desire to go, to Kansas. Their tobacco establishment is a large one, and requires a large force to operate it. Their negroes constitute tbe greater portion of this force. This lot of slaves is what would be called very valuable. Some of them tho Messrs. Lewis paid 81,500 in cash for. The whole number may be estimated in value at not less than $300 per head, or 830,000 for the lot. Patriots naa Trmltora. Tho""miDkey-wrench" editor of the Jeffertonuin lays down the rule, that when a man leaves the party with which he has been noting, and attaches himself to another party, he assames the name of the last one joined ; hence, he argues that the friends of Capt. Cbawporo should call bim another name beside " Democrat." We showed, week bef.re last, conclusively lo every unprejudiced mind, we thought, that tho Captain, as he waa in favor of a vigorous prosecution of this war, until the rebellion was wiped out, that he belonged to the Patriots of the oun'ry. At the same tims, as Eldeb was opposed to this wr opposed to paying our soldiers for prosecuting it, or supplying them with food and raimeat whilst tbey were thus engaged ; aa he had used all the means within his power all the influence he possessed to break op the Democratic party at the last Presidential election, he cer;ainly could not, with truth, claim to be a Democrat himself, bat had joined tha " Tritors," as Senator Douglas very jatly styled the only other party now arrayed ia opposition to tha ' Patriots." SitThe sympathisers with tbe rebeHioe, ia tbe North and West, have the best of reaos for wearing the botfaraat hadgt to distinguish them from loyal men; for we see in ma articta denying that John Morgan had a belt fiiled with Greenbacks and confederate notes, when he waa taken prisoner, a stt'ement that "his only valaeables amoatel to 323 and a bmtternmt brta$t pi." AH frifsnds to Morgan and Yallaadigham wear this traitor badge. S , . . ' ,T ....All negroes in the army of i the Potomac ar being enrolled. : ... ' .
