Two of Fremont's men are raising a dust a. round Lincoln's bead in Yankeedom. The i Herald says : | Senator Wade, of Obio,j?nd Representative j Hejiry Winter Davis, of Maryland, Chairman I of the Senate and House Committees on the I Rebellions Spates, have, prepared.and presented, | in their official capacity, and representing, we j presutuet.thuir respective committees, an indict- j ment against Abraham Lincoln, the executive ; head of tjie nation, ami the nominee of his par- j ty for another term ot office, charging him with 1 arrogance, ignorance, usurpation, knavery, and j a host of other deadly sins, including that of a 1 hostility to the rights of humanity and to the j principles of republican government.- Nothing j that Vallandigham or the most venomous of { the Copperhead tribe of politicians have uttered in derogation of Mr. Lincoln has approached, in bitterness and force, the denunciations which Messrs. Wade and Davis,^shining lights of tlw Republican party, have piled up in this manifesto. The ostensible motive for the address which i ilrnoo rvnnf Iniiinn' lmvwi daam * * ^ ?"" * '? *1.? ' iiivovi ^vuviuiiiun un?D tiucu no n? Odliu IU U1U | supporters of the Government" is to show that j the design vyhich the President had in view in ' not approving and signing tiic bill pas>cd by ' both Houses at the last session "to guarantee to certai/i States, whose governments have been usurped, a republican government," while ] lie did not assume the-responsibility of vetoing it, was that he might, by pursuing bis own . plan of re-ad netting rebel Stat es on tbc piv-.J tended return to loyally of <me.-tcnth of their j inhabitants, hold in hands the control of the j next Presidential election. The reasoning oil j this point is brief, but fraught with significance. 1 Here it is: ?4The President, by preventing this hiil from ! _ becoming a law, holds the electoral votes-of the rebel States at the dictation of his personal am- ; bition. "If those votes turn the balance in his favor, I is it to be supposed that his competitor, defeat- j ed by such means, will acquiesce ? "If the rebel majority assert their supremacy in those States, pud send votes which elect an enemy of the government, will we not repel Disclaims /' j "Arid is not that civil war for the Presidency j inaugurated by tlic votes of rebel States?" The President is.;told in so many wprds, that if he dare to carry out the scliemo foreshadowed bteelectien will be resisted, and civil war foJ*1 the1 Presidency ihaugurated. ^Vill not this make him pause? Will it not, at least makethe supporters of the Government, to whom < that remarkable.document is addressed, pause and consider whether it is wise, in any aspect of the case, to go through with the sham* nomination made at Baltimore, and persevere in an attempt to impose upon the country for another term of four years a chief magistrate who lias given such signal proofs of his incompetency, in the first, place, and whose plans for securing a re-election are likely, in the second place, to, lead tostich disastrous consequence. AHE L-'ONFEDERATg t'RISONEirS AT El.MIRA. The Hochester Journal says : . There'are about eight thousand rebel prisoners at Elmira, and more arc coming up daily. They are.roost able-bodied men, evidently of good families at tlx? South. They are orderly and respectful .in their deportment, but most decided in their adherence to Southern principle. The discipline of the camp is very rigid, and there is no intercourse between the prisoners and the public. Few civilians can even get a'peep over the high fence at the mass, tnucb Jess get within speaking distance. CAMDEN DAILY JOURNAL. 1 1 ? -? ? liJESDAi raoxtaiiNc;, Arte. 30. j :?

The Now York papers have put forth a statement.. that Mr. Lincoln contemplates scudiue. five commissioners to Richmond with proposals for an armistice and "a conference, and. nlihpugh we udheto to the opinion w? expressed some lime ago, that tho jtrospecls of peace are remote, we are -inclined fo 'think there may he some truth ip it. In the first placo it is slated that Jt^noe Black, who was first Attorney General, and afterwards Secretary of State during Mr. Buchanan's administration, has visited Niagara Kails in company with Lincoln's Private Secretary, aud held ? conferor.ee with Messrs. Clay, IIolcomre, and Thompson. This is the first tirao that Black has put himself prowiiieutly before the public Bince the breaking out ol'tlio war, and we regard it as* a signitkwut fact that lie should venture to do so now. Black has always professed to be, and We believe really was, a States Uighlstnau, and, if our memory serves us correctly, was understood to liavo opposed, in n cabinet meeting, tho position assumed by Mr. Buchanan, in the message of 18(50, denying the.right of secession. Bo this an it may, he has certainly remained in the background since Mr. Lincoln's eloction, aud if lie has not denounced the war, ho has at least given it no sup" port. This non-committal altitude he lifts probably been enabled to maintain through the iufluence of Staulon who was, and perhaps still is, his law-partnor . and who is under many obligations to him, touching which, by the way, wo could indite an interesting chapter if we had the time. Now, Black is an able man, a shrewd politician, a keen reader of tho signs of the times, and he would neve." allow his name to get into the papers as a quasi pence commissioner unless he felt perfectly Mire that he could do so with both safety n:. profit. We therefore infer that Black has rea'sou to neiicvr that Mr Lincoln is - willing to entertain, ? r at least to till" ct to entertain a proposal for ati ar.nisrice Again: the tone of th * reso)utlou& and speeches at Syracuse, New York, ami Dayton, Ohio, shows that there is an organized party attiie North, hen ion peace " at till hazards, and powerful enough to make it an ol> jo'-l ioi* j-ln'ooln to concil.ntc Ihotii. .-'/id ii is possible nml even probable that he in'gh' propose an armistice for that purpose. In or. that Lincoln lias any idea of o'lering to the &?uth any terms that sin; 'could honor-, ably or even safely accept. but an nriii'.simo would I bridge tho interval to November nest. and. if adroitly managed, enable Ukxvaku to detach the moderate republican* from tho support of the Chicago nomioco. I We will not be at all surprised then, if. within the i next day or two, it shaU.be announced thai a propo| silion for'an armislice has been oflicially submitted by | Mr. Lincoln to President Davis. Will it bo accepted? We trust not, if it is to leave the contending forces in tatu quo, and we feel very sure that Lincoln' will not onsent to evacuate our territory, and abandon the blockade. ' Pence,"'to quoto from our article of tho 3rd iust., "is not possible on the basis oftlio uti possidetis, and even an armistice, which should leave the enemy in possession of the lorlresses, tho strategic points, and tho vast stretch of territory tliey now Irold, would prove fruitless. The enemy mustgivo up overy foot of Confederate territory before we can have peace; and it is folly to talk about.peace until tho enemy are | willing to concede, or we are strong, enough to coznl^pel this." j An armistice, proposed, not as preliminary to bona ' fide negotiations, but merely as an electioneering | trick, can only injure i.-?<md, if it should be accopted | by the authorities at liichinond, wo should be forced ' to regard reconstruction as a foregone conclusion 011 j their pari. , !
