We value the result which so annoys him chiefly for its certain effect in Missouri, in the way of playing bob with the prospect of success for the treasonable intrigues of ‘‘Claib.” Jackson, “Jim” We also value it as being likely to enable th Unionists of Kentucky to maintain the true in- tegrity of the State’s position in the Union, with- out a resulting necessity for summary measures on the part of the General Government against Kentucky’s traitors under various guises. It is sincerely to be hoped that the approaching Maryland election may result as overwhelmingly for the Union; insomuch as if it does, the other- wise apparent positive necessity for dealing sum- marily with the practical traitors of that State in newspaper offices and other positions, may be —— NATOR WILSON DESERVES THE THANKS OF manner in which he has discharged the duties of the chairmanship of the Senate's Military Committee, during the recent walled session of Congress.

They ascended a hill, from. whence “more a coming in.” General Butler shows that these negroes have Deen deserted by their masters, and have not the opportunity, owing to the the rebellion, to earn their own subsistence, if collected in great numbers.

Wha about seven miles from Charleston, Kanawin county, be was arrested by young Wise and in- prisoned five weeks. In prison, he with other Union prisoners made a small American flag ard put itout of the window when the battleat Pokay was fought, and in consequence they were fired on by the guards, but not injured. When Wie began to retreat Wilson and 57 others were sent with the army by various conveyances, and during a difficulty which occurred by some of the rebels firing into one of their own boats he escaped {fa the confusioh and got to the federal troops. He went to Cincinnati with Colonel Norton, from whence he arrived in this city Siturday night. Mr. Wilson says that Wise bas 600 to 800 Union men forced in his ranks. Some 200 deserted during the retreat. Wise’s party is in miserable condition.

The ford (which 1s im- passable for wagons or artillery however) has to be approached from the Virginia side through a narrow defile cut through the abrupt hills at thst point; and the ford itself is by no means wide. it was also noticed that axemen seemed to be at work felling trees between the troops and the river. We hear further, that last night news was run along the chain of pickets from the Great Falls to Tennallytown, which may have hastened this change of camp somewhat. An unbroken chain of pickets now extend along the Potomac from Harper's Ferry to Washington, it will be remembered . Rumor has it that the troops marching this morning expect to be joined to-day by other re- giments of Gen. McCall’s command, and by one or more batteries of rified guns. It has been un- derstood for some days, however, that General McClellan has been preparing to aggregate, as far as possible, the troops of each General's com- mand, together, and these movements look as though they are but to that end, so far as General McCall's command is concerned. There are already up the river, two Minnesota and one New Hampshire regiment,with artillery, which forma portion of the column of General McCall, who will be in, ample force to punish, sgverely, any possible experiment the enemy may essay by way of attempting to throw a body of troops across the Potomac ; which we do not be- Neve he designs trying to do.
