THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1 1 i 864:
ItarThe first act of conciliation, and
kindn'esi on the part .of Lincoln it. Co., to
hhtpoliftes; opponents, aft‘r election, was
to lidos % the Lientenacit•Governor
Keatucky, and thrust him beyond the
federal lines, without trial or notice that
he bad done am wrong. He aided to
keep Kentucky' from seceding, and to car
ry thn State for McClellan, and for this it
is supposed he is banished.
This is a louder "word to Democrats,"
than the Judas-like twaddle in the
last Lincoln organ.
iffr Congress assembles next week ;
and as the Lincoln party has insisted that
the McClellan votcra are all traitors, it is
suggested that a law be passed to prevent
them from entering the army, becausethey
would do more harm than good. One of
two things is true ; either the Democrats
are traitors, or the abolitionists are liars;
and of course traitors should be struck
from the draft list, and not allowed to
volunteer.
A Large "Corporal's Guard."
The office-holders have a great deal to
say about the Demperatic party being
" wiped out" in the late elections, and
have boasted that there was but a " cor
poral's guard" of the supporters of Mc-
Clellan. But the official returns, when
collected, will make a record that will ad
monish these croakers to beware of future
elections. We think that McClellan has
received a larger vote, by nearly half a
million, than any other defeated wadi
date; that he had more votes than any
successful candidate in former elections,
with one exception ; and that the Demo
cratic vote was larger last month than
that cast by them on any former occasion,
in the same States, by many thousands.. ~
How, idle then for enemies of the party
to croak about the Democratic party be
ing "dead and baried"—.--as if over a mil
lion and a half of Freemen could be anni
hflated.
We never despair of the Republic ; the
Democratic party will live while there is
left, a vestige of Constitutional liberty,and
will struggle, under any and all circum
stances, for the restoration of the authori
ty of the Constitution over the Union of
the States. Such was our battle-cry ; for
that we shall still labor, let the hopeful
day ba deferred even more than "four
years more."
Fire Alarm in New York.
A great sensation has been created in
New York by an apparent attempt. to
burn the city. The attempt was made
in about a dozen hotels by throwing phos
phorus upbn the beds and setting it on
Sere. -No serious loss was sustained, as
the fires were set about 9 o'clock in the
evening (of Friday last) and were at once
discovered.
Various theories are suggested : Some
think it was done by rebel agents; and if
ep, this was an attempt to punish that city
for giving 37,000 for MOClellan, Seymour,
and the Union. Some suppose it was a
plot to give opportunity to plunder ;
while others think it all a shoddy scheme
to get up a sensation, justify the adminis
tration policy of burning private property
at the south, and verify Seward's false
predictions before election. What makes
this idea more probable is the fact that a
serious plot to burn would have been ex
ecuted at a late hour of the night, when
its discovery was not certain.• In any
event, "somebody news banging."
Lincoln State lialorittes.
There seems to have been considerable
close Toting, at the late election ; and al
though it - was cunningly given out, for e f.
feet, that Lincoln's majority is overwhelm.
ing, itegins to appear that, while hehas
nearly all the States, his majorities in sev
eral of them are very small; and it is sta
ted thuit the majorities will not average
five votes on the hundred,' while in many
States it is less. In New York it is less
than one vote to the btmdre&--the major
ity being abort. 0,000 on a poll of 730,-

used—by Counting it in the wrong &fun
, ties, or by counting it twice—to cheat at
least one Congressman (Coffroth) out of
his election; and doubtless this mix-op
has something to do with the refusal to
announce the exact soldier-vote, which is
all returned to Harrisburg direct from the
army. Knowing this, as they do, correct
ly, they could tell us how much it is for
each party; and deducting it from the
total vote, any one can learn how the
home .vote stood, even if the county re
turn judges have not made separate re
turns. .
Abolition Love•blakinp
Just now the Shoddy organs are, at in
tervals, eloquent in their appeals to the
magnanimity of the, Democrats. If some
of their articles be true, Democrats are no
longer "copperheads, rebel sympathizers,"
"secret traitors, ivorse than traitors with
•arms," &c., but a party of patriotic im
pulses, whose devotion to the Union can't
be questioned. The most pathetic appeals
are made to "let by-gones be by-gones,"
and be of one mind and yield to Lincoln a
blind and unquestioning support in all of
his schemes,whether wright or wrong. In
short, Democrats are asked to swallow a
mountain of unretracted abuse, and sup
port a policy calculated- to prevent the
restoration of the Union, and endorse the
patriotism of fanatics who denounce the
Constitutioi as "a league with death and
a covenant with hell."
Democrats can honorably make no con
cessions. Wherein Lincoln does right
he will be endorsed, but wherein be does
wrong be will be properly and fearlessly
condemned.
But the Lincoln party charged that
McClellan was a traitor and coward, and
his advocates in league with rebellion, and
until these base charge are retracted, all
offers of conciliation and kindness are but
base deceptions and treacherous as sin,
The shoddier witnt to trap men into
their party, to cover their iniquities, and
help make up the next draft easily to car
ry on the war upon an abolition basis.
Another Cabinet Change.
As intimated in his letter to a N. York
Lincoln and Johnson club, Attorney-Gen
eral Bates has tendered his resignation to
the President, to take effect soon after
the meeting of Congress, which is on next
Monday. It is thought be has contempla
ted this step for some time.
—lt is understood that Mr. Bates is a
friend of the old Union and an adherent
of the Constitution, and is theretore out
ofplace in his present company. Lincoln
will eagerly fill his place with a radical
who will give opinions according to " the
higher law," which ignores constitutions.
McClellan's Old Soldiers.
The following shows how some of the
men who served under General McClellan
voted at the late election.
The New York 69th voted all but one
for McClellan.
The Second Corps.voted 1,080 for the
General, and 281 for Lincoln.
The 179th New York voted McClellan
109, Lincoln 76.
The 88th Regiment all voted for Gen.
McClellan and Ciov. Seymour.
The Olat New York gave Mac 138, and
fur Abe 0.
The Veteran 63d New York, reduced
by battles to 77 men, gave 76 votes for
their old commander,
The 110th New York gave 110 votes to
McClellan, and 2 to Lincoln.
The 16th Cavalry gave Mac 262, and
Abe 2.
The 55th New York gave Mac 98, and
Abe 9.
'Several others did quite as well.
Abolition Outrage Upon a Soldier.
The Dayton (Ohio) Empire, 'Nov. 9th,
says: " Aentlemen from Xenia infoims
us that a McClellan soldier offered to vote
in Xenia yesterday; and upon presenting
his ticket open, , was taunted by a miscel
laneous crowd of negroes and abolition
ists with being a " copperhead," and was
asked if he was not ashamed to vote for
a traitor. , He replied that he understood
McClellan to be as good a Union man as
Lincoln. The'words were scarce out of
his month when be was knocked down.—
Se arose and attempted to escape, and
was ,knocked doWn again and , again by
both ,Diggers aud.abohtionists. lie was

Thursday of last week Howard's advance
was reported ut Jonesboro, thirty miles
south of Atlanta.' On Sundayit was re
ported eighty-two miles south et' Atlanta.
Nov. l .l6th.—Definite intelligence has' at
length been received from She-man's col
umn. The expedition under Slocum, which
' went from Atlanta south to Macon, on
November 19th, was at Forsyth, twenty
miles northwest of Macon. Here Sloeum a
progress was checked, and the despatch
states, he was " signally repulsed:" A
Federal cavalry force was detached from
Atlanta tinder Kilpatrick, which marched
southeast along the Augusta Railroad to
Covington ; then advanced through Mon
ticello and Hillsboro to Wallace, a 'small
town about ten miles northeast of Macon.
All of these towns were burned, and it
was supposed that the cavalry would push
ion six miles south to Gordon, a village
I where the railroad from Macon to Mill.
edgeville Ind the one from Macon to
Augusta diverge. This cavalry- force thus
moves between Macon and Milledgeville,
and if Gordon is reached, the troops will
be about twelve miles from each city. The
indications are that the Georgia militia
are not alone in checking Slocum's pro.
gress at Forsyth. Beauregard had part
of his army, several days ago, in position
to transfer it by railroad from Corinth
through Mobile to Macon. A very short
time would be required to do this, and
some of Beaureg,ard's army are, no doubt,
by this time in position to oppose Sher
man. All announcements of the capture
of Macon are premature, as yet. Had
Sherman marched unopposed into the
town, he could not have taken it before
Wednesday last, and this is too early a
date for us to receive, even through South
ern channels, any news of what happened
on Wednesday at that distant place. On
Monday last, November 21st, Sherman's
advance, a force only of cavalry, was
twenty-two miles froin Macon.
29.—We are able to trace Sherman to
Wednesday /eat— 40,11 his , expeditions
are checked. Slocum Whii moved South
from Atlanta, was on the 19th; 20 miles
north of Macon. Our statement of 2Gth
was correct. Theirebels succeeded in pla
cing a strong force' in his front at that
point, and he was checked. Down to last
Tuesday he had made no further progress
toward Macon, and was thought to have
turned eastward. Kilpatrick% cavalry at
last account had reached Wallace a town
north of Macon and Milledgeville railroad,
made no attempt on Macon, turned tow
ard Milledgeville, captured the city and
burned some of the public buildings._ Both
Slocum and Kilpatrick see " o be going
eastward towards Augusta at Savannah.
Howard started to Augusta, moved to
Crawfordsville, 70 miles from Augusta.
Here the rebel cavalry were first found.
Making but slight opposition,they retrea
ted before Howard to Berzelia, 21 miles
front Augusta. Here the rebels were re
inforced, made a successful stand, and it is
reported that Howard's adirance was re
pulsed with loss. Such was the condition
of affairs on Wednesday last. Slocum
was 20 miles north of Macon, with rebels
in front to check him. Kilpatrick was' at
Milledgeville 25 miles east of Slocum, and
30 northeast of Maoon. Howard was at
Berzelia, 60 miles northeast of Kilpatrick,
and 85 miles northeast of Slocum.

Lincoln—an abolition fraud of 50 votes.

The 'Mali in COhnebia '°minty,
For some time past, the: trial of a num
ber of parties, arrested. ender a charge of
resisting and obstructing the operation of
the draft in Columbia county; has been
going on for the alleged offence before a
military commission. Three- of them,
John Rants, Samuel Kline, and William
Appleman, jiave been convicted of a con
spiracy to resist the ditaft in Columbia
county, in this State, and sentenced as fol
lows: Rants, to imprisonment in Fort
Mifflin for two years,.and a fine of one
thousand dollars ; Kline to tWo years' im
prisonment, and' Appleman to a fine of
five hundred dollars and one year im
prisonment. Gen. Conch has confirmed
the decision of the military court,
The counsel for the prisoners entered
their'protest at an early stage Of the pro-
ceedings against the attempt to try these
men by military commission, demanding
that the matter be referred to; the civil
authorities. Their protest being unheed
ed, they withdrew from the defence,. and
the result of the trial is as abovestawd.—
Although an express provision of the Con
scription law makes it incumbent• upon
the military authorities to refer all cases
of violation of that act to the civil courts
for trial, this provision was ignored in the
recent cases of this character in Columbia
county, Pa. It appears that the Adrain,
istration does not even observe the laws
of its own making, saying nothing of con
stitutional laws.

Majority for Lincoln
The President has hardly fiVe per gent
majority on the total vote. yor every
hundred votes for Lincoln in the loyal
States, there have been cast ninety-bve
for his Dknoeratic competitor, and a large
part of this excess was given in New Eng
land. In the Central, WeStern, and'flor
der States McClellan has some ninety
eight votes to Lincoln's one hundred, de
spite all the great advantages possessed
by the latter, and which were powerfully
and unscrupulously used.
