THE NEWS.
I ;Vis have news of further action lathe Di'Ali= of
the Minis sippl.:Major General Themes, in, a de ,
apatch to the comniander imchief, states that the
forces Of the guerilla Hawkins have been routed
and diapersed, by, a, .detacneuent of cavalry from
Naehyllte, Muhl' Col. Shelby. The recent opera
tions of. Gen. Hooket's toms near Bridgeport,
'Lookout Mountain, and Wautatchie, are more
fully described. The loyal Alabama regiment under
001, Spencer, has returned to Corinth, atter having
penetrated to within flfteen miles of Sniper, and
150 mitre; from Cofinth. The whole force of the
rebels in Tuscumbia valley was about to cut
him off, but Col. Spencer ecoaped with the greater
part of his command, alter - having rendered con
siderable damage to the enemy. ik battle between
the enemy` and our forces, near Tuscumbia, is bailey.
ed. to be imminent. General Buinside's -forces are
*threatened in an article from Vile Ranimond ;Exam/.
Ter, which urges the natant repoeseaaion of East
Tennessee, indispensable to the rebels for its forage
and mineral supplies, and as a way of communica
ling with the army in the Southwest.
AnDimionaL news of the elections only adds to
the triumphs of the Union came. The majority in
the State of New York is Bald to by nearly 40,000,
while the full victory in Masaachusetta will be over
46,000 Maryland will, probably elect all the uncon
ditional Union candidates, and it is remarkable that
the opposition in Baltimore numbered only 200
votes. The news from Illinois, Kansas, Missouri,
and other utates, is of the moat cheering charaCter.
New Jersey alone is still Copperhead, though the
UMion gain is over 10,000,
TUE Richmond papers state that official informs-
Lion has been received of a design of the national
forces to make a combined and simultaneous attack
upon Savannah, Poootaligo, and Sullivan's Island,
to cover a great and final assault upon the latter.
'Decisive work before .oharleston is promised, now
that Gilmore and Admiral Dahlgren are certain of
the real nature of the obstructions which bar their
victory. The bombardment of Sumpter is de
scribed in the rebel papers as the most furious that
leis yet taken place. Other parts of, the wall have
fallen in, and fifteen of the garrison have been
killed.
Taa European news by the China is to the 25th.
It' is, geherallp unimportant, and the main points
have been anticipated.
ONE of the rebel papers suggests , a new route
'to Richmond by Suffolk and the Blackwater, and
supposes that the next attempt on the rebel capital
will be made on the south side of the James.
Central America, Presi -eat- Barrios has
been 'defeated by the revolutionary forces, under
Carrera. A propoSed compromise was rejected by
the latter. . .
The Vindication of the Administration.
If the Administration had been: corrupt,
imbecile, tyrannical, who can doubt *that it
would have been-utterly condemned by the
vote of the loyal States ? Had one-third of
the accusations made by its enemies been
true no honest voter could have failed to
have voted against it. It was tried . in the
supreme tribunals of the. Democratic party,
found guilty of the cruelty of NERO, the
meanness of ARNOLD, the; imbecility of Bu
or:Li:wall, and sentenced to death. But the
people; who were appointed . its execution
ers, refused the honor: They have not de
nounced. it ; they have approved it : they
have not destroyed it; they have preserved
it. It rests securely on the solid basis of
the will of the American peOple, and exe
cutes their expressed purposes. All its mea
sures are vindicated by their unconditional
approval.
.No Administration has ever had imposed
upon it a greater responsibility tit= that
now in office. Without ready means of de
fence, it was forced immediately to defend
the nation against the greatest rebellion of
znodern times. Treason had the advantage
of thorough organizatifn, and the con
nivance of the preceding Administration.
The danger to the UniOn cannot be over
rated : it was colossal; it appalled the peo
ple of the, NOrth it startled the world.
-To meet this danger would have been a
mighty task even for a Government fully
prepared, but what was it for an Adminis
tration untried and suddenly required to
confront.= unknown foe, and achieve the
greatest .victory of the world, or suffer the
most ignominious defeat? The unprece- .
dented position of the legally elected officers
of the United, States should have at least
gained for them the generosity of their
former political foes. History will record
to the eternal -shame of the Democratic
party that the danger of the country, the
critical position of the Administration, but
added to the ferocity of its paSsion for
f power: The Government was denied com
mon justice, and its opponents seemed to
care little if, in destioying it, they also de
stroyed the country. Their policy encour
aged the rebels, prolonged the war, and dis
graced the North. , It was suicidal.
No Administration has so much needed,
for the 'Bake of the whole country, uncondi
tional support. None has received such un
conditional enmity. No slander was too
base, no falsehood too gross, for its enemies
to utter.
Gloriously has this wicked opposition
been crushed. State after State has given
loyal majorities—majorities for the Admini
stration, for the Union. The mightiest ar
gudient the opposition possessed was found
ed upon the charge that the Administration
had mismanaged the war. This charge, to
which defeats and mistakes, incident tp.:11.11
wars, gave color, .the people have•declared •
; Pennsylvania gave it the lie.direet
when she re-elected Governor CURTIN;
New - Yolk has told HORATIO SRYAIOTIR that
he was elected one year ago upon false pre
. tences, and this week eight other States have
declared that the Administration is proseeu
ling the war with vigor, that it is worthy of all
confidence and • honor, and that it is only by
giving unconditional support to its energetic
measures that the Union can be maintained.
The elections this year in every State, not
in actual rebellion, have this meaning and
none other, and we do not except New Jerz
sey, which, though she has not spoken firm
ly for the Administration, has, by a Unlon
gain - of ten • thousand votes, censured the
party which controls her. The approval,
not of any party, but of the People, is
.the
vindication of the Administration. It needs
nOne other,
Tan people of this State must express their indig
nation at the polls today. The Administration
must be made to know that the proper place for the
soldier is in the field, not at tne ballot box.—World,
Nov. 3d. .. •
Undoubtedly the pei6l3le . of New York
have e'xpressediheir indignation. But it is
not with the Administration, but with its
opponents, that they are indignant. The
Administration is "made to know" that
the people sustain it, and its enemies should
learn that, while the. proper place of the
soldier is truly in the field, the American
'voter does not forfeit his rights when he en
iiits for the defence of his country. "
TEE City Passenger Railways.
On Monday last a meeting of the Board of
flailway Presidents was held, at which was
discussed the adviaribility of raising the
rates of fare on the various city passengei
railway lines.. A motion was made to raise:
the price of exchange tickets to 'eight
cents, and the regular fare toaaix cents ; lint
.a further consideration of the
,subject ; was
postponed until the seventeenth of this
month. With the eloquence which was
wasted on that occasion we are not ac
quainted. However much the reverse of
ornate the construction of sentences may
have been, the apPeal certainly possessed a
power which the unimpassioned orator is
not possessed of—the influence over an
audience in sympathy with itself, and all
whose sympathy was, derived froth personal
and private considerations. The greatest
good of the greatest number was doubtless
sought after; but since it stands first in- the
alphabet of numerals, that- majority was
conceived to consist in number one.
In, this endeavor, on
-the part of railway
presidents, to extort money from the pockets
of the people, one is irresistibly reminded
that " corporate bodies have no conscience."
If this be true, aaad if the attempts of the
rail Way presidents be consummated, no
more - glaring exemplification of the adage
will readily be found.
Let us .examine, however, what reasons
the proprietors of railway- lines have that
they should thus seek to raise the. rate -of
fare. They allege that they haveTheen
obliged to increase the wages of many of
their einPloyeea, and that the price of al
most every article used by the companies
has been very nearly - doubled. Admitting
that there is much truth in these statements,
are they ,stifficient reasons for the new ac
tion which the.presidents would take.? The
increase of wages.- is -more than compen
sated for by the increase of travel. Let
any onnwitneas the teeming cars which con
tinnally thread:the thoreughfiares, and . then
arrive at .an -honest conclusion in his r own
mind, Whether . railway prpprietors are
making money `or loaing it. .
Let any impartial passenger—as impar
tial as - he can be, escaping from- a' half
smothered vehicle, with a cloudy sensation
of having had a vertical and horizontal pres
sure on every square inch of ltodY—count
upon his ten fingera the number of passen
gers who have got in and-out during a mile's'
ride, and then, by strict arithmetic I calcula
tion, determine whether railway companies
are on the point of bankruptcy. They pay
as large a dividend this year as they ever
did before, and -they are not losing at their
-present rites. The city passenger railway
car charges more per mile than the steam
car does. Passengers ride on the average
not
. more than half a mile, for which the
standard fare of five cents is paid. This is at
the rate of ten cents a mile. Three cents per
mile is the average fare on steam cars; and why
the comfort-loving traveller should -pay
three times as much for what brings him one
third the pleasure, is a question for which ne
cessity must invent an answer. When it is
remembered, too, - that the original cost of
constructing.passenger railway lines is com
paratively nothing, that they find their roads
already graded for them, that the steam
railway lines have to grade their own roads
all over the country, and that the city rail
way fare is just three times as much on the
average as that of the steam railway, the
extortion that is sought to be practised be
comes doubly reprehensible. The city rail
way lines extend into -the suburbs
of Philadelphia, and in these suburbs
reside the poorer class of people,
who, completely worn out by the fatigue
and wearisomeness of the day's occupation,
are compelled to ride to their homes. Can
it, with any show of decency, be urged that
one or two pennies a day makes no differ
ence to these laborers ? Every penny makes
a vast difference to them.. Among no other
class is the principle so felt to be true that
"a penny saved is a penny earned." The
present action of the railway presidents,
however, appears doubly presumptive from
• the fact that they do not seem to have re
garded the conditions of their charters. By
those conditions they were required to keep
the streets over which _they run in good, re
pair. This they have not done,; for - the
Highway Department is now expending as
much money for - this purpose: its in
any former year. It is an - interesting fact
that the ::city is authorized, in the
-charters of,many of the companies, to take
the roads at cost and sell thern to the highest
bidders. If the original prices 'Of stocks in
the different, companies be compared with,
those for which they are now selling, the'
comparison, we are afraid, will be odious in
connection with the projected increase of
fare. It will be seen that in the Second and
Third-streets line, $2O was originally paid;
in the Fifth and Sixth; $5O ; Tenth and
Eleventh, $2O ; Thirteenth and Fifteenth,
; Spruce and Pine, $8 ; Chestnut and
Walnut, $lO ; Market-street, $5O ; Green
and Coates, $l5 ;. Girard. College, $l6. It
will likewise be seen that, following the same
order, the shares of stock in these companies
are now selling as follows : Second and
Third streetsline, $B5; Fifth _and Sixth,
$6O ; Tenth and Eleventh, $46 ; Thirteenth
and Fifteenth, $35 ; Spruce and Pine, $151;
Chestnut and Walnut, $59 ; Market-street,
$6O ; Green and Coates, $46; Girard Col
lege, $274.
We would say, then, that this attempt at
extortion, °lithe part of railway presidents,
is one . whieh reflects an injury on the
people by whom they profit. This fresh de
mand which is made upon the pockets of
their patrons is one which will not be re
sponded to. The practice of getting as
much as possible, and more than is de
seived, is one by which railway proprietors
will not prosper. They will find their mag
nificent enterprise transform itself into a
magnificent failure.
The Pride of the United States.
The pride of the United States furnishes a
very fertile theme for the vilifying pens of
English editors. To these tfiere are some
honorable exceptions. The majority, how
ever, seem to be haunted by distant remi
niscences of the biblical aphorism, " Pride
goeth before a fall," and to discover an
exquisite and unaccountable diversion in
making a perverted application of the same.
We; the. people of the United States, are
proud, and we stand up before the world
and proclaim it. We are proud of all those
attributes of which a nation which is to
be perpetuated should be proud. We are
proud of our birth and of our offspring, of
our history and its heroes, of the vast
area over which our influence extends,
of the illimitable wealth which gernii
nates. and fructifies into maturity in and
upon the teeming soil. We feelthar we have
constituted one soul, and that . that soul is
sufficient unto itself. Born as we are, we
cannot but believe that the God of nations
has.fitted us to , evolve a sublime purpose in
r .........ritri0-tstatwarran - ct strong. atts a va
liant youth, strong in the might of right,
and if in the future history of the world,
Right should be called to battle against
Right, we feel that we should stand up
strong in the consciousness of integrity, a
David armed by God, confronting' an impo
tent Goliath.
Our neutral allies on the other side of the
water are condolent now and then beyond
measure. They look upon us with an ag
grieVed, not"to say affronted air, as though
they were parting from us rather in sorrow
than in anger. At the same time occa
sion is not unsought to give a secret stab or
subtle sneer, at the troubles which now
agitate this country.. All the wit and wis
dom of the British press has been drawn
upon—we will not say exhausted—and the
one has been as grave as the other has been
gay. We have been told that the fighting
material of the North is exhausted, and that
the fighting material of the South is
not. This ludicrously absurd statement
might' almost lead the well-wishers of the
rebellion to expect that it would finally be
come successful, and that the seceded States
would become permanently Merged into an
Union bearing the title of the Southern
Confederacy. The farsightedness which
the :tendon Times displays in its researches,
ihe,,adVanced knowledge it exhibits of the
fundaineßtal rules of arithmetic, and the
succulence and - gusto with which it dilates
nd spreadeltself upon the „result of its cal
culations, are natural virtues which reflect
back upon that pUblication the vices which
it thus conscientiously exhibits the mild,
stadfast:, - light of pure and unadulterated
The pride which, as citizens of the United
'States, we feel; is such•as a man must feel
in hill - wolf, a father in his son, a son in his
father; brothers'and slaters in each other.
Nay, it is such as man must feel in God, and
God in man ; for we refer our - country in its'
past and last results, to both God and man.
No sneer or taunt, foreign or domestic, can
drive us from the fortress of -self-respect:
wherein we have entrenched ourselves. No
cold-hearted indifference can chill the blood
which beats, and - thrills, and ferments in
each vein and artery of the nation. No
White-faced hypoerisy at home or abroad
can put to the :blush our innocence,
can put our pride to shame. No
citizen within whose bosom swells a loyal
heart will listen assentingly for a moment
to those whispers of disloyalty which fore
shadow a fallaolous future.; no citizen with
.understanding in his brain, or sensibility in
his 'breast, will barter the God-given birth
right of liberty for the miserable mess of
pottage disloyalty offers. We are indeed
proud, and as rich as we are proud. No
one in the North has starved in consequence
of cotton. It would be a cruel kindness to
imagine whether any one in England or
France has ? Manufactures with us have
never been more flourishing, and every day
and hour we live,, we feel that we have
more to thank God for, that He has made
us the great nation that we are, and the
greater nation that we, shall be.
E . ast Tennessee.
The opinion we have held for a fortnight
past, that it is - the intention.of 'Gen. BRAGG
to' attack "Gen. BURNSIDE'S,. poiaition rather
than the impregnable position of General
Tnomns at Chattanooga, with the design,
firstly, to rout' or destroy the former, and
secondly; to flank .the latter, is
„now -enter
tained by more than one of oiti':NeW York
cotemporaries, and is strengthened by the
language of the Richmond press.' Thus the
Richmond _Examiner of October 31 gave the
following pretty strong hint_:." We believe
that in a few weeks more the enemy will
have been driven out of East Tennessee.
Indeed, it is highly probable that the work
would have been accomplished- by the pre
sent time if . the movements of our armies
had'not been retarded by the want of shoe's ;
but we have reason to believe that East Ten
?lessee will soon be recovered." The Enquirer,
two days previously, Still more clearly fore-
Shadowe 3 an advance against KnOxville ;
and, in the light of all the Informatiou
we can gain of the enemy's. - movements,
as well as of the knowledge we have of their
necessities, we may accept it as an esta
blished. fact, that General BURNSIDE will
speedily* be . assailed, unless the plans of
General -BRAGG , are disturbed. But how
shall they be frustrated ? By reinforcing
General BURNSIDE ? Certainly, if the thing
be possible. But, as we observed a few
days ago, the advantage of the interior line
rests with the rebels, who can reinforce
BRAGG much more readily than we could
reinforce BURNSIDE: How, then, shall the
latter be protected against disaster ? In the
language of the New York Times, " a great
diversion should be made in his favor by an
immediate and energetic advance of the
.Army of the Potomac.P This would now
Seen) to be demanded by the necessity of
the situation. Net upon General GRANT
solely, but largely upon General MEADE,
must depend the' question whether Chatta
nooga shall be held, and BRAGG's army de
stroyed. Until this question is satisfactorilY
solved, there can be no winter quarters for
the Army of the Potomac—but instead, a
winter campaign.

TEM WASUINGTON Casomoras on Tuesday en
tered upon the second year of He existence. Our
contemporary says : "It had long been taken for
granted that a newspaper could not be profitably
conducted in the city of Washington that proposed
to pursue a career independent of Government pa
tronage, except such as came to it unsolicited and as
a natural consequence of its prosperity and circula
tion. The proprietor of The Chronicle tOotc a very
Aifferent view of the facilities of the Federal Capital
for the publication of a daily newspaper ; and, while
an ardent supporter of the Administration, deemed
it perfectly safe to start a daily paper which should
not be dependent upon their favors for its financial
prosperity. On this principle The Daily Morning
Chronicle was commenced. The aim was to publish
a paper With loyaltyto the Union and the A.dminis
tration as its ruling principle, but making its ap
peal for patronage, not to the Administration, for it
preferred independence, but to the people at large,
whose fatror and confidence it alone coveted. It
was deemed, and has proved, a safe conclusion that,
if these were secured, all neechil advertising pa
trol. age would of necessity follow. He felt that the
only stable foundation for permanent prosperity
was in the approval and encouragement of the
masses of the loyal people. With unfeigned grati
tude we acknowledge that the people, and our braye
soldiers especially, have more than justified the
trust reposed in them. The success of The Chroni
cle has been immeasurably greater than in our most
sanguine moments we had dared to anticipate. The
circulation which had been calculated upon as' the
basis for a permanent financial success has been
trebled and quadrupled, and is constantly in
creasing."

Tile Invalid Prisoners at 'Annapolis.

forty have died up to the present time, while others
appear to be in a dying condition. Every possible
remedial attention and care is now bestowed upon
these unfortunate soldiers, of whom twentyfour

general debility and disease—the effects olexposure
and privation of the comforts of life. Not only,
were they nearly stripped of their clothing when
they bad arrived at Richmond, but their money
was taken from them at the office of the
' provost marshal, with the promise that it
should be returned, but they knew of no in

stance in which this was done, and consequently
they were , without the means to buy the necessaries
of life, and the Union officers (their fellow-prisoners)
were under constant surveillance.to prevent them
from extending to these prisoners the smallest pos

for the rescue of the perishing prisoneri now at
Belle Island, the number of whom is estimated at

CHATTANOOGA—HOOKER'S OPERATIONS.
Chrionexam, Nov. 4.—A. despateli from Chatta
nooga reports all quiet. The following is a reliable
summary of recent events there :
Gen. Hooker moved from ' Bridgeport October
26th. He crossed the river at that point, and theme
along the south bank to Shell Mound. From Shell
Mound he followed up Running Water Creek Valley,
on a road running alongside of therallroad to White.
aide, and across Raccoon Mountains to Oooss,•
hatchie, in Lookout Valley. Thence he turned
again northward, and formed a collocation opposite
the northern hese of Lookout Mountain, with two
brigades sent -feom Chattanooga, at the same time,
to occupy tire South bank of the river at Brown's
Ferry.
The object of the two movements was to glve us
control' of the river from Bridgeport to Brown's
Ferry, and run steamboats built at Bridgeport, with
these captured, up and down between these two
points, to carry supplies.
The - railroad from Shell Mound to the base of
Lookout forms a piece neokland, washed on the
northeast and east by the river. This base Hooker
occupied; bY distributing his forces at Shell Mound,
Whiteside, and Coosahatchie. From Brown's Ferry
up, the river is controlled by the rebel Lookout bat
teries. Their supplimefor their Chattanooga army
must be hauled overland from that point, but the
distance is only two miles.
The troops sent from Chattanooga went, one bri
gade by water (Hazen's), and the other by'land
(Turohin's). The former went' in pontoon boats,
and lost about 20 wounded in landing. A. bridge war
immediately put up, and the 2d brigade have strongly
entrenched themselves, and have not been molested
except by harmless shelling:
While Hooker was connecting with Hazen,
Longstreet. who had hurried from the rebel right
to its left, when 'our movement was discovered,
made a night attack on him at one o'clock A... M a
on the 29th of October, but was everywhere re•
pulsed. . -
During, two - hours of hard fighting our loss
was 30 killed and 200 or 300 wounded, and, a few
missing. The rebels were severely punished, and
did not rciumethe attack, and Hooker at once
strongly entrenched all along his line, Generals
Grant and Thomas were withhim on the 29th, and
'bought him safe. The Lookout batteries playe4
on him all dey without doing any harm.
' THE FIGHT AT WAUEIA.TCEIIE,
WeenueerON, Nov. 4—Brief -official statements
from Major General Thomas, relative to the recent
fight at Wauhatchie, have already been published,
but the following despatch from Quartermaster Ge
neral Melee., dated Chattanooga, October 29th, pos.
'oses additional interest. It says:.
"Last night the lith Corps . hastily entered on this
central campaign. General . Gestry, some four miles
up the Lookout Valley, being attacked by Long
street, the litliCorpe,about one o'clock, marched to
his aid, passing the steep wooded hills, aboutlsO feet
in height. They received "a volley from a rebel-force
which bad occupied and enttenolied their summit.
Alter dark four regiments assaulted the: east hill,
aid, without firing a shot, steadily advanced by the
1, lit of the moon and drove the rebels out of their
rifle.pits and down the other slope of the hill.
Thirty-one dead soldiers attest the difficulty of the
ssult and the valor and steadiness of the troops,
which, in a night attack, accomplished one of the
most brilliant feats of the campaign.
"Only after walking over the ground to-day, do I
fully appreciate the exploit, when these hills were
taken.
"They marched to the assistance °ram. Geary,
who had held his position, and Longstreet was
driven back with slaughter.
"As prisoners from two divisions attest that his
whole disposablo force was engaged, the whole affair
is most creditable to ,these corps from the Army of
the Potomac."

UNION EXPEDITION INTO ALABAMA., -
CmOIIMATI, Notr.. - 4:-4Leeounts‘ dated Ceiririth,
October 28, give the following:
Colonel Spencer's expedition into Alabania, which
left this place on - the lath e penetrated to within
fifteen miles of Jasper—over one hundred and limy
miles from Corinth—and returned yesterday. The
whole cavalry force 'of Tuscumbia Valley was con
or Warding to cut him off. ' While endeavoring to
press his command, which was about five hundred
strong, between them, Colonel Spencer encountered
a force of from one thousand to thirteen hundred, -
under General Ferguson,. in the southeast corner of
Tischoini coUnty, Misslisippl, and was quite rough.
ry handled. Colonel Spencer formed a square of
three lines of battle. As one position after another
was outflanked, and the regiment becoming disor
timed and surrounded, he led it into the woods,
where the rebels were held in check until night,
when it broke up into squads, the men being all in
timately acquainted with the country, and coming
out the beet way they could. They have not all ar
rived here yet, but it is believed not over fifty will
be captured. e
Captaina Chandler, Pulo, and Sternberg, of Joliet,
Illinois, were killed; also, Lieutenant Perry, of Co.
L, let Alabama Cavalry. Lieutenant Swift, of Ot.
tows, TV/sS mortally Founded, and about ten privates
were killed.
As far as heard from, some twenty were wounded,
who. being unable to kee p the saddle, were left on
the field. 'nom whose wounds were slight were
brought off, and a number carried some distance and
hft with friends. The rebel loss was more severe,
as they rushed in large numbers upon °urine% who
were under cover.
In view of the large superior force of the enemy,
and the position of the line, which was nearly a
horseshoe, Col. Spencer was fortunate in saving his
command. f A regiment of Northern men, unac
quainted with the country, would have been cap
tured entire.

GIINERAL GRANT'S ADMINISTRATION
The energy of. General Grant is mean in the ope
rations of thin army already. I have heard old ad.
berente to the fortune of General Roseorans make
admissions as to some much-needed reforms. It
will be noticed that the first act which has taken
place under his supervision- since he came, is like
the one which first gave him fame—" moving imme
diately upon their works.” The same remarkable
success, which has thus far rendered - him- the most
illustrious of our generals, seems still to follow him.
The armies under him are getting into Admirable

the same measure of success will continue to reward

The London Timespublithes a long letter from its
well-known correspondent , ' Historians," on the sub

The writer regards the seizure as momentous in its
bearings on the maritime fortunes of England, and
expresses a confident belief -that public opinion will
stand by the Government in their honest and com
rageous determination to defeat a fraudulent-con
trivance, which is at once a gross contempt of Eng

about 12,000 votes.
Opinions of the Press.
The result of the election is generally dimmed by
\the journal' of New York. The Tribune vem
\ply says:
"Considered with refers... orilY to the disgrace.
ful esult of our last year's State election, the %linage
indicated is very gratifying. But, considered in its
bicseer and permanent relations, we feel that this
triumph is one of which, (as Charles Townshend
said or, the Peace of Amiens), everybody will be
glad Italknobody proud.' ' It is not a theme for con
gratulatii.l that this great central State should
give to meagre majority for the vigorous and de.
xermined maintenance of our national life. It
is not a liming fur pride, however It in o a c y o b u e r

Times t D succumb
merelyumb to
and without comment. The fact is, indeed, sum
oient/y eloquent.
The Herald considers that the elections in all the
States which have voted this year have been „ in a
remarkable degree influenced by this immediate,
paramount, and absorbing question= - the suppres
sion of the armed forces of the rebellion by the
fleets and envies of the Union. New York voted
yesterday, as she voted in our, last November elec
tion, for a vAorous prosecution of the war. This
was the issue upon which, Governor Seymour
succeeded, and this is the. issue upon which he and
his party have been defeated. His associations and
sympathies with such intolerant and intolerable
Copperhead peace men as Thomas H. Seymour, of
Connecticut; Bradbury, of Blaine, and Vailsndig
ham, of Ohio, and his wishy.washy, temporizing,
double-faced, do-nothing policy as Governor of Ne
Yolk, were too strong against him and his party to
be neutralized or palliated by the enforced war reso
lutions of Dean Richmond's See-saw Albany Pia,
form. Revolutions, it is Said; never eó backwards
and these elections. throughout the loyal States, of
1863, may be pronoUnced a sweeping popular revolu
tion against a demoralizing peace faction, as those of
1862 were a revolution against a demoralizing Aboli
tion war faction."
The Ward, which before the election could not too
earnestly affirm its importance, now discover' that
the Union party has gained no substantial advan
tage :
" We have lost a political Chickamauga, but we
nevertheless hold the more important Chattanooga,
from which we cannot be dislodged ; and,hf ter a recu
perative breathing spell, the Democratic party will
again make a victorious advance. The Republican
party, like Bragg's army, has won a, barren triumph.
The Democratic delegation, to Congress, which we
elected last year, have not yet taken' their seats,
and will do us just as efficient service as if they
bad been elected yesterday. Our Democratic Jae
vernor remains in office until we have had an oppor
tunity to elect a Democratic successor, he retains in
unimpaired vigor the conatitutlonal veto power,
which shields us against the excesses of Abolition
If gialetion. The Republicans may have a majority
of the Legislature, but Mat they had last year.
What, then, have they gained to requite theorfor
the enormous expenses 01 the canvass'? Nothing
but the prestige or moral effect (whatever that may
be) of having outvoted the Democrats in a contest
where therewae nothing at stake."
The Evening Post proves by the WwitPs twn. con
leesion that something was at stake, and thus truth
fully defines the meaning of the majority:
"We find in the World of yesterday morning the
issue of the day stated with great deliberation and
fairness. Speaking of -' what the election will
show,' that organ of the Opposition appealed to its
party and the nation in these words
`The people of the State of New York are natl.&
upon to-day to pass jj udgment upon the Polio' of the
priseat Federal Adminietrotion. They are to declare,
by their votes, whether President Lincoln, and the
t. miyt that elected him to power, and the advisers he has
called mound him, are (17th Lett to , pubtio confidence,
and cre regardid - as capable. and desirous of bringing
our national troubles to a sticesiafal termination, and
of restoring peace and unity to the nation-. ' '
"The people thus exhorted have given their ver
dict they approve of the policy of toe Administra
tion. 'They are to declare by their votes whether
President Llncoln and the party that elected him to
power, and the advieers that he has called around
him are entitled to public confidence,' said the
Ii itld, and the people answered, with a majority of
thirty thousand voices,
that the`President and his
ati7isera are entitled to public confidence ; that they
ars regarded as capable and desirous of bringing our
national troubles to a successful termination, and
of restoring peace and unity to the nation. No Go
vernment could ask for a clearer or more • triumph.
ant approval than this, and no opposition was ever
more thoroughly rebuked. ,,
The Express, in its usual exaggerated straim ad
mita that the people are resolved upon an energetic
prosecution of the war. At the saute time it mis
represents the spirit in which they desire it.ahall be
waged:
"In a country like ours—nominally, it not really,
a republican country—what the people will is law,
and what the people now clearly wilt is mar, pro ,
longed war—a war, it would seem, not only for the
extirpation of negro slavery, but for no catlrpition
of the white maol94p 91 ahtVes. The end of such a
war no. mR, can foteaee, but if ever. successfully
ended, the end must be, for all that , region of court-
try that stretches from the Potomac to the Rio
Grande, what Jamaica or Hayti are, viz : Ruin,
ruin, devastation, desolation. We shall destroy
not only the produce, but the producer. The black
race itself is perishing, and more will perish in the
collision of antagonist mind and matter, till, in the
end, what was the barbarism of .merlca two bun
died years ago, must be the barbansm of the South
in some 1890, or 2_ooo.
"Ng vertheless; this is a people's government, and
what the people will is law. The elections now
over, since that of Connecticut last spring, declare
this people's raw, and we must either accept it, or
abandon our native land."
The Commercial Advertiser says :
"These results indicate that the 'heresy of the
Copperheads has not taken root among the people.
They are not tired of the war. They are not yet
prepared to surrender principle for the sake of peace.:
Holding the Union as the most precious boon of li
berty, they are prepared to undergo every necessary
sacrifice for the sake of maintaiinng its greatneaa un
impaired, and of securing the blessings of perma
nent tranquility. No hollow ranting about the den-

ger of personal liberty through military despotism,
could blind the people to the fact that nothing, but
the Union is endangered, and that the National Go
vernment alone stands between it and those who
seek its destination ; and that the only way to save
the Union was to support the Government."

A mechanic, who sends us the following, thinks
Governor Seymour's rhetoric nearly as bad as his
politics :
To the Editors. of the Evening Post:
Governor Seymour tells us, in his speech at the
Cooper Institute, that "the powers of this Govern
ment depend more on the restraints in the Constitu
tion than on the powers given." This is somewhat
foggy. but probably he means to assert that the eta,
Misty and perpetuity of our Government mairey
- penes on its refraining from the exercise of doubtful
powers, and sacredly respecting the reserved rights
of the States. He then goes on td illustrate his itiGe
Of what he calls '• a very humble figure : Take a
well-made desk, Strong and serviceable, surrounded
with iron hoops, which bind it together; suppose
the cask should undertake to burst these restraining
bands, in order to become a hogshead, it would not
even become a barrel; it would be a bundle of staves,
and nothing more."
The Governor is a little mistaken in this case,
as it would be even less than that. If the bands
were burst or removed, instead of a bundle of staves
there would be only a heap of staves. Now, let us
suppoie nat the staves became dissatisfied with
their new position, es the staves separately are
just as likely to be dissatisfied as the cask was be
fore, And should assume the form of a bundle;. we
should then have a shook instead of a heap of
staves.
Again, let us suppose that this good cask whiph
the Governor spoke of contained thirty-four staves,
and that eleven of them became dissatisfied, think
ing themselves too much dwarfed and confined by
the iron bands whicnwerefastened upon them; and
that they, under the teachings and trainings of a
hand of perjured traitore, should be - so filled with
State pride and State Sovereignty ideas as to puff'
and swell out of all reasonable proportions. and con-
elude
elude thatlwrisihencath their dignity to remain ant
tsd t hers; and should burst the bands which
4 _
_,_v , lie' unity, that they might secede from the
;pike Tie
fault would it be, in that case, if the
•spuqurt should be brought to mini Clearly
- it wbuld rot be the fault of the cask, but of the un
ruly staves which it contained. We have been told
by very high authority that our political system
had more to fear from anarchy in the members than
from tyranny in the head, and our experience
thus far proves it ; but if, in this attempt to. at
,stime proportions to which they were not en
.s'titierd, they should find the bands too strong for
Miem,.. and in the effort these staves became
warped, twisted, and fractured—if we come to
the conclusion that we must have the cask to contain
end preserve our Union jewel, clearly the sensible
way of doing is to put them through a process which
wilt reduce them to their correct proportions ' pre
pare them for their proper place and put them there,
and with the new lessons which they shall have
learned, and experiences which they shall have at
rained, they will ever afterwards be contented to
stay there.
The- old Union cask hes received some hard
usage at the hands of Secessionista and their sym
rathizers, but Uncle Sam has employed a drat-rats
workman, named Abraham Lincoln, a- man who
hnows his business and hen vins enough to perform
it, to repair the injuries it has received, and he will
turn it out of his hands as good, and sound, and
serviceable, as it ever wee. He says it is a 'big job ; '
which all of us knew without is telling us ;so let
us give him time ; let us not be factious and un
reasonable, but hold our souls in patience, and trust
that God in His good providence will-give us a safe
deliverance from all our troubles. BUNG-S.
Tne ainnaiArr Oeke.A.—We think it is Victor
Hugo, who speaks of the "Hunters wandering in
the wood," in one of Weber's operas, as the finest
piece of music we poesese. While we need not ac
cept this as a judgment, the great writer's enthu
afraid for' the great musician is admirable. Hugo
describes the tremor of weeds, the echoes of horns,
the passion of men, the subtle and varying sensa
tion of winds, leaves, voices, all mingling in the in
spiration of Weber's immortal music, as something
forever unusual and grand.- Every one who hears
,Der Freyschutz will forgive the enthusiasm of
the eminent amateur, though Beethooven re
mains grander, and Mozart finer, than all. If
Weber is not the greatest of, musicians, he
has certainly performed some 'of the finest
things, and must be allowed to possess that quality
which has made him a universal favorite with the
highest and the lowest. He is original, eccentric,
joyous, passionate, and intellectual, and with these
merits keeps his place in all affections. His songs
are his own and natures, and no composer may sur
pass his music of the hunt and the forest, which is
the very life and health of green woods and German
romance. It is no wonder that the Fatherland ac
cepts Der Freischutz in its romantic religion, ,and
not at all a wonder that the Academy Is always full
when Der Freischutz is sung.
In respect to the singers, it was a new " Der
Freischutz " which we heard last evening. Madame
Frederica appeared with excellent success in the
part of Apatite, and, in a few scenes, received special
APPiaime. She ;AP 9 feir prepence, and her voice is
- mar - manner seems earnest 414
appreciative, end 'her performance, without being
highly remarkable, was heard with satisfaction.
Herr Ilebelmann, the second new tenor for which
we have to thank Mr. Anschutz this season, is a
decided acquisition: Good stature, good looks, a
manly carriage, and a strong and well•modulated_
voice, with an easy manner of action, are the qualities
which made his performance of Max a success. Mr.
Ilabelmann's tenor, perhaps, leeks sweetness in
proportion to its power, but his role was throughout
well rendered, and was most suoceasful in the bast
passages. All who have heard him will be glad to
hear him again ; and we can now congratulate the
inaincssario upon the possession of two tenors well
fitted to render the music ofthe great works which
he has in store for us. .:ccerrichett, b y mil e G an i na ,
weal in some realtepte l ':qniks acceptable, and Herr ,
Weinlich's Casper, without being i all that we should
desire, is certainly one of his best parts.
The orchestra, last evening, under Mr. Anschutz,
was, as usual, tilled with the spirit of art; and we
have seldom heard the overture and the orchestral
accompaniment of Der Freischutz to so much ad
vantage. A German orchestra, a German chorus,
and, we might add, a German audience, together
make a fine occasion in music, and this ()nation,
embellished by American beauty and musical intelli
gence, was enjoyed last evening.

A Prophecy in ]est.
The following extract from a burlesque article In
the New Month:s Magazine, for 1821, vol. entitled
" Specimen of a Prospective Newspaper, A. D.
M 6." is curious:
"The Army of the Northern States (of A.tnerlea)
will take the field against that of the Suuthern pro
vinces early next spring. The principal Northern
force will consist of 1.490,000 picked troops. Gen.
Congreve's new mechanical cannon was tried last
week at the siege of Georgia. It discharged in one
hour 1,120 balls, each weighing flve hundred weight.
The distance of the objects fired at wee eleven
miles, and so perfect was the engine that the whole
of these balls were lodged in the space of twenty feet
square" A subsequent article in this soccimea
stales that "by means of a new invention, Dr.
Clark crossed the Atlantic in seven days." Mow
little did the writer anticipate that in fifty years
these, to him, wild fancies would bealmost realized.
