The Lesson of the Late Election
We have elected ABRAHAM -:-
LlNcobrby
a majority in popular and electoral votes
far surpassing whathe received before, and
raufdcient to have elected him had thedan-
- vase been conducted in•the thirty-five States
-of the 'Union We do not overestimate this
triumph when we say that it is the most.
_magnificent demonstration of popular will
that has been shown . by the citizens of the
'United States: We use this phrase because
it was really the calm will of the people,
• and not a sudden national emotion like the
- ..nprising at Fort Sumpter. The last elec
t:ion was an exhibition of national thinness.
It was not the triumph of the Republioan
party, or, indeed, of any party. 'Sinee the
days when GEOIII3 WASHINGTON became
President, no one has . • been elected who was
in so many senses a representative man
and the embodiment of a great cause as
ABRAHAM Iffscoisr. We might truly and
reverently 'make a comparison between
these two men to show that in electing
ABRAHAM LINCOLN i 0 the Presidential
chair the Republic. has merely repeated
the act of its forefathers. 'The election of
GEORGE WASHINGTON was the beginning
()four freedom from• English tyranny. The
election of ABRAHAM LINCOLN was ; the
beginning of our freedom from slavery. It
was a triumph of a cause, and we de not
depreciate our candidate when we say that..
- that cause would have been as triumphant
under any other . leader. The ballot of
Tuesday has deeide.d, not nierely that the
man LINCOLN shall he President, but that
the just acts of his Administration, and all
that has been taught to us by the blOOdy
•
experience of war, receive the approval of
the American people. Had the man
CuABE, or the man Gnarrr, or any other
soldier or statesman, been named 'as our
.standard-bearer, the triumph would have
:been as decided as that over which the
Republic is rejoicing to-day.
The re-election of Mr..LtEcoLN devolves'
upon the Repuhlican party newer and.
graver duties. The leaders of that party:
must study a higher order of statesmanship
than has ever yet, forced itself upon the.
attention of men controlling politics: When
a President ia.elected the most important
duty of his followers is to worry him to
death about offices, and to arrange .among
themselves who shall enjoy what is, in a
homely phrase, called pickings 'and plun
der. Their sphere of duty extends from
the dismissal of. Cabinet ministers to that
of the poor, shivering
.revenue inspector.
No such duties. claim the attention of. the
Republican patty today. Its - leaders hap
pened to be around the helm and'ori the
quarter-deck, and they could either keep
the Union ship
,in a safe, easy, and open
sea, or run her upon the rocks and shoali.
They can make the election of AnnattAu
LINCOLN the beginning of an era of peace,
harmony, and union, or the beginning of
an_ cra of anarchy and distruit. If they
suppose that Mr. LikicoLN is elected by a
number of gentlemen who met in any•par
ticular convention •Or form k ed a. political
close corporation, and if any of these lead
ers imagine that they can dispose of this
• new Administration as though it.were a
:legacy or an investment, they will find that
- they have mistaken,. or perhaps betrayed,
the will of the people. The country will
submit to no such policy now, and the lead
ers of the Republican party will find it their
duty to see that in the support of Mr. LlN
comi'sAdministration • they repreSent the
ivishes of the country. •
We must not be supposed to be making
an argument in favor of those who have
denounced and - retarded the prosecution
of the war, and 'given aid and comfort to
the enemy. There are no doubt thousands
of politicians
took up Mcatisrm,An•
because they thought he might be elecied,
pretty much as certain.. of our Money
changers buy' depreciated stocks, in the
hope of a rise in . the market.- These-gen
tlemen would very gladly go to Washing
ton, and perMit Mr. .trucortt to "con
-ciliate" them, by giving them contracts
and offices, and kir this consideration re
main true to him as lone as he had
offices to give. .These Hessians deserve not,
oven the countenance shown to -- deserters
who are. p3aced 'in the guard _houseand
- feasted on bread and water. Those who
make merchandise of the Union party' and
• its successes—who rally to a victorious
bariligi.very much as the crows and.vul
.• : tures to that of a victorious army—these
:carrion politicians, who followed Mc
- CLELLA.E to feed,their purpose, and would
as gladly follow- LlNCOLN—these men de
:serve to be denounced and discarded by the
friends of the Administration: Their friend
-ship is worse than their enmity, and we
desire neither their voices nor their votes.
There are thousands of men who did not
belong to the Republican party—men who
formerly differed from it—but - who gave
Mr. LINCOLN their support ; or, perhaps,
even were. kind towards lelcenEnratii un-
der the impression that he was a friend of
the war. They are not the enemies of the
countiy. They do not desire to see our
enemies triumph. They may not have
travelled as rapidly as ourselves towards
those great principles that the war is
waking as familiar and popular and neces
sary as the Declaration of Independence.
They may hai'e hesitated, honestly hesi
tated, with the diffidence of men who
dreaded theories when they • became
experiments.. They were not against
- us in - the beginning. They doubted
us, • but . . they did
. not inflict ' their
doubts on the..country by joining hands
With traitors. We must be kind to these
men. We must not, by aproscriptive poli
cy, drive them into the ranks of the Cop
perheads. We must forget that they were
party opponents, and - remember that they
are friends of .t,he Union. If
,those who
care anythiligTor,our counsel will act upon
these, suggestions, they will find that, grdat
was the triumph of Tuesday last, it Will
`:riot compare with the triumphs that are to
come. By fidelity to the Union, devotion
to the war, and a bold defence of every.
just measure of the Administration, we
have re-elected ABRAIIAM Lirtcoix. By
equal tact, - courage, and honesty, we can
bring the Union to•a position far more ma
jestic than it ever
. oceupied before. How
to do this is.tit.e lesson-of the late election.
t The Vote of Baltimore.
`Where,all have done their best, and ma.ny
• have done so well, it may seem right •to
avoid invidinus distinctions. The Union
- victory in Baltimore, however, viewed in
connection with antecedent events, is so
remarkable, so magnificent, as to chal
lenge especial' commendation. Four years
ago, A.BRATIAIf LINCOLN, then, as now, the
constitutionally elected Chief Magistrate
of the United States, on his way to the
scat of government, to be inaugurated, was
obliged to pass through Baltimore, in the
way NICODEMUS, " for fear of the Jews,"
came to the World's Redeemer, viz : "by
s i g ht." He actually reached Washington
in disguise, so well founded were the appre
hensions" that in the "Monumental City ~.
assassination stared him in the face. Sub
sequently, when it was found necessary
to summon some regiments of soldiers
from the North, to prevent the seizure of
the capital by armed rebels, they met the
fate, in that city, which only the President's
well-timed prudence averted from him
self. They were murdered, in cold blood,
and under the gaze of the noon-day sun,
in the streets of that city. Compare with
those events the result of last Tlesday.
lib*, this same ABRAHAM LINCOLN, in
that identical city, receives between twelve
and thirteen thousand votes of a majority
_for re-election, and the Maryland brigade
, of loyal soldiers, composed chiefly of Bal
timoreans, gives him 1,224 votes, against
.44 for his opponent I And, still better,
Baltimbre is the commercial emporium of
a Frei State, within whose borders the
chains of slavery hive forever ceased .to
clank ! Verily, the world still moves. If
any one doubts it, let him look at the
Election returns of the city of Baltimore.
.
The Good :News Abroad.
The malsteamer that left 'New York
.for Liverpool last Wednesday must have
taken out the news of Mr. LINCOLN'S re
election. It will probably be known all
over Europe on Monday week. - - Great dis
may it will create, of course, in the hearti
of those who, faithless to •all principles . of
humanity and freedom,. sympathize with
the rebel and the slave-owner. There will
'be'• long faCes on 'Change, on account of
the great depreciation in Confederate stock,
the holders of which will realize the force'
of the .eld saying that a . tool an4:l his money,
are soon parted. The EinniCTITLD3 will .
grumble, no doubt, because their own Au- •
GUSTE PE,LMONT so terribly.
.deceived them,.,
by insisting that WOLF:Li - AN 'Wag suc
ceed—tie Outlay of their money in , his
cause will be lamented, of • course, •but
Conpled with it will be the unpleasant self
conviction that the proverbial" sagacity of
the firm, so far as politics are involved,
'has not been manifested on this occasion.
.. By others in England the, intelligence of
. the great Union 'victory here will be va
riously received. one- side, Lord Bus
SELL and Mr.' 0 14LAusmoNE, and on the
other Lord DERBY and Lord BROUGHAM,
may be disamiOinted - for, as is well
known, there - . - was a strong impression in
England that Mr. LlNcots had very little
chance of re-election, and that his imme
diate opponent was sure of OM victory—at
the polls. We may rest assured, however,
that Lord PALMERSTON'S mind will be
greatly relieved by what has taken 'plam
That astonishingly energetic A m 'active
minded octogenarian has arrived at that
-
period of political existence when agita
tion and a new line of.public action are
not half so pleasant as they. may ha've been
forty years ago. Mr. LlNcours s triumph
has relieved Lord PALMERSTON of a.great
deal of trouble—no : change of policy, is
required—there need not be, and there will
not be, any negotiations with the -Emperor
NAPOLEON on the subject of recognizing
the independence of Secessia—things will
continue to run smoothly in the old groove
—and at least is much neutrality as Eng
land has maintained during the last
eighteen months may be • fairly looked for
. during the remainder of the war. At his
advanced time of life, and:with the respon
sibilities of the British Empire on his mind,
it may be accepted as a well-assured fact
that PALmEnSTON will personally rejoice at
being relieved, by, the success of
_the Union
cause, last Tuesday, of the necessity of
taking steps to recognize the South. The
astute gentleman. who . governs Europe;
from a• small closet in the Tuilleries, would
have lost no time, had M'CQLELLAN been
elected, in acknoWledging the, revolted
South, and we believe that he would have
persuaded PALMERSTON to participate in
• that stroke of policy.
The dismay which the result of last Tues
day's election will create among such sym
pathizers as GREGORY and ROEBUCK, LIND
SAY and HAMILTON, - BENTINCK and ALAN
,NERS, may be better imagined than' de:
scribed. It is possible that this section of
politicians really did believe what they
were told, that the Union cause was certain
Of defeat from the appeal to the sense and
patriotism of this country on . last Tuesday.
The reverse must literally confound them;
Mr.
_LINCOLN has not merely achieved a
victory, but by such an overwhelming ma
jority as to remove all doubt. of his really
being the Man of the Nation's choice. The
enemies of good government have been con
. pletely routed. Their defeat is a terrible fact.
'Upon whomsoever this defeattas fallen
unexpectedly, we may be sure that the
pseudo-ambassadors of the South know,
from the first, that MCCLELLAN could not
win the day. Mr. MASON, however he
might let his English friends believe that
Mr. LINcoLN•'s re-election was not possible,
must have felt, in his very heart of heart,
that the favorite of the rebellious South
must be beaten. Mr. SLID:ELL, too—will he
solicit another private and confidential
tem-a-tete with the Emperor-iN.TArorazoN in
order to pour information intohis Majesty's
mind, and interest him in favor- of the
.
rebellion.? If these two personages shoukl
meet, it, may be anticipated that the
Emperor will give his Southern friend
a very wide berth, for the man evi
dently deceived him. On the other hand,
we may reasonably assume 'that Queen
VicToluA. will receive with pleasure the
intelligence of Mr. LINCOLN'S re-election.
He is known to cherish the personal and
political predilections of .her late husband,
and it.is known that he was in favor of
the continuance of friendly relations be
tween England and the United States, and
it is already accepted as an historical fact
that the moderate tone of the note from the
Foreign Office requeiting satisfaction in the
affair of the Trent was entirely owing to
the good sense of Prince ALBERT, which
suggested the employment of far more mea
sured and courteous language than Lord.
RUSSELL had put into the original draft of
his despatch to Lord LYONS.
No small curiosity will exist as- to the
manner in which The Times will receive
and discuss the news of Mr. LlNconx's
re
election. That journal, we-may state, has
very carefully avoided .committing itself to
any opinion, even to any wish, that Mc-
CLELLAN should be elected. It is possible
that it will say very little—that it may con
fine itself to saying that it is of small im
portance to the world what statesman is
the free choice, as President until 1869, of
the 'United States. It will not do, how
ever, to sneer at• a verdict in which Free
dom, Civilization, and Humanity are all
most deeply interested. Mr. LINCOLN is
President-elect for another term, and The
Times very well knows that important is
sues are involved in.t'nat great fact.
The National Debt.
In the canvass just past earnest complaint
was Made against the growing proportions
of the national debt, as a sort of half mo
tive for a precipitate peace, without reckon
ing how much such a peace would cost.
Alarms upon this subject have been the
-legitimate result of unfaith in the 'people
and in the future based not a little upon
original infidelity to the war. In the elec
tion, however, the people triumphed.over
both doubt,and fear, and thus gave whole
some revelation to the resistants of progress;
The alarm of the latter was not implausible,
for the same fears have been manifested by
the public men of generations in opposition
to the debt of England. This 'debt, far
greater •in proportion and in fact than our
own, and more liable to increase in the fu
ture than our OWn, excited apprehension at
every stage of its growth. Statesmen, and
even . ! economists like DAvm HUME, barely
hesitated at predicting ruin. "The only
statesman, indeed, active or speculative,
who did not shareinithegeneralidelitsion,"
says MACAULAY, " was EDMUND Btrimp."
But England thrived, and every day of its
." death" showed greater signs of life. At
last, with eight hundred million pounds of
debt laid upon the back of England, the
fatal moment, it was thought, had arrived,
-when the nation could • neither stand upon
its feet nor survive., But, in spite of arithme
tic, it stood erect, and, at the period of its
greateit debt, England was more flourish
ing than ever. The problem of the alarm
ists is solved:by the words of Macaulay :
" They saw. that tie debt grew, and they
forgot that other things giew as well as the
debt." •
In his speech the other day — in Washing
ton, Secretary SEWARD truly remarked that
the result of. the late election showed that
the population of the North had not de
creased. It will be no small part of the
compensation of a successful war that our
census will increase in greater ratio than
heretofore. All that was favorable in the
case of England is still more favorable In
our own. With youth, freedom, and the
resources of an unbounded domain, there
is no reason for alarm. Every tract of
country settled by the emigrant is so much
of our debt taken away, and the Wirpa
tion of the unprofitable institution of slave
ry is its virtual wiping out in - the not . far
distant future of entire freedom. When
invention was brought into manufacture,
the poor operatives thought they would be
ruined, but since that time labor has been
ten-fold more prosperons. The moral'ele
-mend -of Freedoni orivetiled • to thO South
will be a more powerful transmuter and
multiplier• than any discovery applied to
mechanics. Steam and electricity are
not to .be compared to this. But,
aside from all moral considerations,
the nation ,has vast material securities
beyond itself in its unsettled lands and
'growing territories. Even the earth seems
to-reward those who strive nobly. It is
not long since petroleum was discovered—
how long will it be before new riches' are
yielded to the adventurer somewhere
among all the vast opportunities ,which
progrss, is throwing open - to . mankind ?
Never was condition of' .war inexamo-
Rled in the prosperity of a
,loyal people.
These, are no rose-colored views, btit the,
barest niatter-of-fact which' we can. pre
sent. The sacrifices demanded of us to
day, in order to restore the Republic, are
not really half of those endured to establish
it. We have only to remember that the
people are larger than the debt, and - must
yet , grow ten-fold larger, till they 'ovei.-
whelm it by sheer force of numbers.
The Southern Phase of AbolitioTi
The subject of enlisting negrOes in the
rebel army, as presented by JEFFERSON
Aims f has proyoked much discussion in
the rebel press. Though there was an agi
tation at first in favor of employing.this
reserve, the tone on the surface of Southern
politics at present is in opposition to • the
careful measure proposed by DAvrs. Care
ful as the statesmen of the South will. be,-
'it is not possible for them to. be consistent
or right. The Richmond Whig traps the
rebel /President in the admission that " free
dom is so much better for the slave than
servitude that it may be bestowed kit - Jon
him as a reward or boon "—" a repudia
tion of the opinion held by the whole South,,
and by a large portion of mankind in other
countries (!), that servitude is a diVinely
appointed condition for the highest good
of the slaye." The W 74 also holds, it
to be "an act of cruelty to deprive
:the slave of the care and gUardiatohip
of a master ;—if a slave must fight, he
must fight for •the blessings which he en
joys as a slave." These views are mon
strous as they are doubtless insincere, but
show thesendeavor to be, consistent. Not
less does Mr. DAVIS try to be consistent,
but the trial only proves the failure.
He•is, however, a more advanced philan
thropist or statesman than the- Whig. His
perplexed acknowledgment that the insti
.tution of slavery is for the' Christianization
of the African race, is almost accordant
- with the boarding school logic of the
Whig. But. it seems that he makes a
blunder (though it may be a wise one)
when he mentirins freedom in connection
with Christianity. All this time JEFFERSON
DAVIS, and perhapi his critics also, know
that the cause of the South is begging for
the help of the negro. But how to ask the
slaveholder, who fights for slavery, to give
freedom to his slave, and how to ask the
slave,. who desires freedom, to fight for
slavery—this is the whole - question. The
world may amuse itself with the attempt
of JEFFERSON DAVIS to answer.
The Richmond Examiner holds the sam e
opinion as the lirAig, but it also jeers at the
soldiership of the negro. The North - has
found him a good soldier, and never, a de
serter to the enemy. The Examiner's an
tipathy-is, therefore, explained by the fol
lowing
"It Is sometimes said that negroes would mike
better soldiers for us than the Yankees, because they
would fight under the eyes of their masters -and
friends. Scut sentimental suppositions show a great
ignorance of the negro's character; and even if they
were founded on some truth, attachment to his master
would be no - balance to his native fickleness and the
strong incentive to desertion which the enemy would
hold out to him."
This is an important confession, but not
the most important. Our own position on
the subject of slavery is justified, while
that of DAVIS is condemned—as follows
"Our enemy has raised its negro army, not as a
military, but a political measure—to have the rest
of the world on its side—to procure the fall and con
sistent support of the Abolitionist party. With his
views and purposes, the creation of the negio sol
dier is consistent and natural. • •
"But the existence of a negro soldier is totally in.
consistent with our political aim, and with our social
as well as political system.' We surrender our position
whenever we introduce the negro to arms. If a negro
is fit to be a soldier, he is not fit to be a slave, and if
any large portion of the race is fit for free labor—fit to
live and to be useful under the competitive system of
labor—then the whole race is fit for it. The employ
ment of neoroes as soldiers in our armies, either with
or withcut prospective emancipation, would be the Arse
step, but a step Mhich would involve all the rest, to uni
versi,l abolition. •
"But the objections to this project are so Mani
fest that It is unnecessary at present even to,aug
gest them. The President opposss the introduction
of negroes Into the army as soldiers, but desires a
corps of forty thousand to be used in labor on foal
ticatic DS, as engineers, as teamsters,: and as sappers
and miners. To a proposition of 'that sort no one
could have the least objection, if hs had not con
chided with an obscure passage, which, if it means
anythizg, means that the forty thousand Slaves so
employed shall be set free at the end of the war as
a reward for their - service. Here, while refusing to
employ the:al:lves under arms, he adopts the fatal
principle of the original proposition to its fullest
extent, and puts forth an idea which, if admitted by
the Southern people as a truth, renders their posi.
tion on the matter of slavery utterly untonable.',
The Examine• is thus consistent and
candid, even to a confession of ruin. But
what becomes of the "broad moral dis
tinction,between the use of slaves as sol
diers in the defence of their homes, and
the incitement of the same persons to
servile insurrection," as untruthfully an
nounced by JEFFERSON DAVIS in his mes
sage ? Enough—we have it from the mouth
of an oracle of. slavery that "if the negro
is fit to be - a soldier, he is not fit to be a
slave ;" that "if any large portion of the
race is fit for free labor, then the whole race
is fit for it." The North has already con
quered. •
IN THE Billingsgate vocabulary there is
Scarcely an epithet, which, during the re
cent canvass, has not been unsparingly
(doubtless insincerely) applied to Presi
dent LINCOLN. Had he, , indeed, with
malice prepense, violated every command
ment of the Decalogue, and all the human
statutes founded- thereon, it would not
have been pOisible to have depicted him In
darker colors. " Usurper," " Tyrant,"
" Covenant-Breaker," and such like epi
thets, were freely applied to him. Now,
then, upon all these " railing accusations,"
the sovereign people, as the court of the
last resort, have passed. And their -deci
aion is, not simply that they approve of the
measures of the' Government pursued dur
ing the present Presidential term, but that
likewise, in the personal titneas and integ-
rity of Axtmuum LINCOLN, they repose un
abated confidence. On all the charges pre
ferred, after a fair and inipartial hearing,-
the verdict of the Grand Inquest of the
Nation is : " Not Guilty." Now, then,
let every mouth be stopped. Let all men
even the accusers themselves, to this ver!
diet yield a cheerful •and manly acquies•
-CCBCO.
IT Is A. FACT worthy to be kept in re
membrance, that in the peaceful abolition
of slavery-at the North the last State to
agree; to it was Hew Jersey. On this sub
ject, 'tis evident, she is moving, though at
a snail's pace.

'WILMINGTON, N. C.
The Character of its Defenees—Thelr Po.
,sition and Strength-What Kind' of an
Attack the Rebels Expect.
Admiral Porter has been for a long-time concen
trating a powerful fleet in Hampton Roads to ope
rate against Wilmington. It is believed that it is
not so much the intention to capture the city as to
possess the forte at the entrance of the hartsar, so
that it - may be hermetically sealed to any further
running of the blockade. The force the Admiral
will have under his command he estimates to lie
fully equal to any resistance with which the robots
may meet him. The Richmond papere give some
interesting facts relative to their power of-defence
and to the .pecullar conformation of the harbor,
which has defied all the efforts of an immense
fleet to entirely blockade. They say that• the
position of the Cape Fear defences renders them
strong against an attack by sea, owing chiefly to
their proximity to the channel through which yes
sells must pass to enter the mouth of the river. It
Is about thirty miles from the town of Wilmington
to the sea, the river, navigable for large steamers,
running through a level, marshy country, well
wocded on either shore. Some eight miles below
the town la the first bar, and beyond this the stream
is clear and deep until the " Rip" is reached. A
long, low, narrow island stretches directly across
the mouth of the river, leaving only two narrow
inlets at either end of the waters to join each other.
These are here denominated Eastern and Western ,
bars, or Old and New Inlet. Before the war the
'Western bar was alone used by vessels of any size,
and the United States Government made an effort
to eloee the New Inlet' entirely in order to force
a larger volume of water through the other to
render It deeper and capable of taking over the bar
vessels of greater size and draught. Many years
was this work on hand, and, many thousands were
spent In hauling stones to throw into the channel,
not one of which has ever been heard of since. It
was a futile teak. The channel deepened, it' any
thing, and the project was abandoned. This
inlet is now considered the better of the two by
.bloekadarunners, although a majority of steamers
going to Nassau go out the Western bar. Along
the whole extent of the North Carolina coast, .
the ha] Inlets, and harbors are constantly
changing, the sands ehiffing from place to place,
filling up an entrance here and deepening another
there. Above Hatteras swash there is not an-inlet '
at the present time at all navigable, while no longer k
than twenty years ago there-were three or foar. 4t
this plaee there is the same change constantly going.,
on ; the channel moving about from place to place,
and the " Rip" filling In or deepening with astern
ishinerapidity. At the tern bar the channel runs
within fifty or sixty yards of the shore, and 'close .
under the guns of Fort Fisher an or - Fort Lamb,
while at the Western bar Fort Caswell guards it
equally well. Besides these main defences are seve
ral minor batteries strung along the beach; located
at points that, to an engineer's eye, seamed to bear
most upon the track of vessels coming into the river.'
There is,
also, close by Fort Fisher, and on a point
of land between the "Rip" and the bar, a large
earthwork or. mound, erected by Colonel Lamb,
commander of the forte,;which mounts some power
ful gurs. For several menthe past this has been
a terror to the fleet outside, and has very proper
ly kept them at a respectful distance. These guns,
have a plunging fire upon the channel from the
"Pipe to the bar, and beyond; so it will be ex
tremelydifficult for even an iron-clad to enter the
harbor until these guns are silenced. Bearing upon .
the " Rip " are several recently constructed works,
mounting very effective ordnance. Upon the east- •
,
ern "Rip, and almost immediately In the 'middle
of the channel, is the wreck of the iron-clad Ra
leigh. which was lost by a sodden change in the
moving sandy bottom ; for it was proven she was
in the exact line passed the evening previous in
r afety. By this, say theßichmond journals, "it will
be seen the channel le difficult, even with skilful'
pilots ; that it le easily defensible, and that the pro
per defences have been erected, able to resist any
fleet the enemy can now bring against them.
But an attack by water may. not be expected
alone, for-the fleet will undoubtedly co-operate
with some kind of land force ; and we have - to look
also to the land side of the works. Here, too, pro.'
per provision has been made. If the plan be to land.
men st Lockwood's Folly to operate against Fort ,
Fisher, then we roust-trust to our land force to meet ;
them. Of Gen. Whiting's force we know nothing, '
and would say nothing if we did ; but entire coat-4
deuce is here felt in his ability to hold the position,*
and we believe he will dolt. There 13 no man that
understands the ground better, for, a lieutenant in
i
the - United States army, he has surveyed it over'
and over. And besides, he Is defending his own
home and his own people. 'With a proper force at
command, we have no fears of the result—it -
will lapse into a sioge and bombardment of ,the
forts',as at Charleston, until the rough winter
weather drives the unseaworthy Iron monitors into.
some safe haven."
IMPORTANT PAPERS CAPTURED WITH THE FLO
BIDA.-SOIDE important papers were captured OD
board the pirate Florida. Among them was the let-.
.ter•book of the commander of the craft. One of the
letters is from Admiral Hope, of the Britieli . navy,
protesting _against the capture and destruction of
vessels selling with British papers, and threatening
to sink any privateer that may hereafter so otrend".'
Another throws some light on the fate of the steamer
Electric Spark, built in this city bat running from
New York to New Orleans. In it the Captain says:
—" My first intention was to put in a prize crew and
try to run into Wilmington, but my great difficulty , .
was the want of a competent man to ran her en
glues. I sent two of our best tire Mon aboard, but
they were totally-incompetent. Under these air
ourostances I deemed it best to sink her, but strove
to give the passengers the idea that we had carried
her off to make a tender 'of her, or had run her Into
Wilmington." - • • • , .

Incidents of .Eieiction Day.
Every election day that has ever dawned upon us
since we became a. nation has been fruitful In its •
peculiar incidents, but these have chiefly been con
fined to wagers with z .outlandish conditions, such as
that by which Ben Perley Poore brought his name
to the ears of thousands who had never heard
it and probably never ' would. But at the
lost election there was room for not
only wagers but for ,tbe highest display of
patriotism. The question It had tp answer had
never before been submitted to the people, and, In
the nature of things, could never be again. There
Were, therefore, episodes—touching, romantic inci
dents—happening at thousands of polling booths all
overthe land. Our own city was fruitful of them.
Old:men, who were fast travelling down the Incline
toile grave, with strength and sight all gone, but
with love of country urilmpalred, were carried to
the polls to cast that little ballot which, though it
might not benefit them, would garner up priceless
blessings for their children's children. They had
"children in the army, or children beneath Southern
soil ; they had memories of what the country was
when its energies were multiplied and directed by
a Union of strength and' aims: Their experience
had taught them what the result would be if that
Union weredisseveredand destroyed, and their left
a lesson of patriotism as their dying testament to
their fellow-citizens: There were sick men fading
away In . . consumption, racked with pain ; there
were armless soldiers who deposited their ballots
with their teeth. Numberless scenes such: as these
could be witnessed all over the -North ! What a
lesson they would have taught Rebellion could she
have witnessed them ! There .are some of them so
interesting that it is our duty to reproduce them as
we find -them detailed In our exchanges. A cor
respondent of the 'Boston Jotinya, writing from
Sturbridge, Mass., on election day, says :
Deacon John Phillips, of this town, who is one
hundred and four years four months and nine days
old,,appeared at the Town Hall, and deposited his
ballot for Presidential electors and State officers.
He was brought in a carriage, and then con.
veyed into the hall in a chair, supported by a
platoon'Of our returned soldiers, and was re
ceived by the citizens of the town rising from their
seats with uncovered heads, amid the tears and heart
felt emotions of all present. After resting for a mo
ment the venerable - patriot expressed a desire to
shake hands with all the returned soldiers. Some
thirteen eoldters then formed in line, when each
one was introduced to the venerable patriarch,
and took him by the hand, with the announcement
of the time each had served in.the army. The last
soldier introduced—a Mr. King, an Irishman—said
be had served the country- Wee years, and had
' enlisted for. three years more, and if that was not
long enough to subdue the rebellion he was
ready for another three years ' after which three
hearty diners were given for the returned
Soldiers, and three rousing cheers by the whole as
sembly for the old soldier ofthe Revolution. Col.
Edward Phillips.(eldest son of the venerable deacon,
now In his eightieth year,) then, made an impromptu
Speech to the soldiers, In. the course of which he said
that he was the oldest man in town who was
born in town, and yet, said he, " ttly father is hare,
and till lives.' The old gentleman was then
presented with two sets of votes—one for Abraham
Lincoln, and one for Geo. B. McClellan—and" re
quested before all present to Wields choice, when
he reached out his hand and In an audible 'and
deepteaed voice, said: i I Mall take-fhe one for
Abreihm Lincoln. , The town then voted that the
. eitairMati of the Selectmen present the ballot-box
to the old gentleman wife took Ids ballot with both
,hands,:azid" deposited itin the bax,.tating that he had
voted for R ashington for President, and attended
all the Presidential elections since, excepting that
- four years 'ago, when he was sick and Old not at
let d. .
The subjoined . impressive Incident is given by the
Providence Journal:
, Captain James -Brady, a warm-hearted, brave,
and.loyal Irishman, commanding a company of the
26th Massachusetts Regiment, was recently wound
ed in the Shenandoah Valley, and is now at home
'in Fall River with one leg off and three balls in his
'.body. On election day he insistedupon giving one
More shot at the enemy. Aedordingly the shattered
hero was risced upon a stretcher, covered with the
American ensign, and borne by four men to the
.
ward-room, where he deposited his vote for Lincoln
and Johnson, every man present standing uncovered
meanwhile, and a few eyes suffused with tears.
As the gallant Captain was borne away, having dia
. charged his 'patriotic duty, Cheer after cheer attest
ed tbe.fact that the deed was appreciated."
There' are others, but these will serve as spec!.
tuns of all.
In the way of wapiti, we have heard of many
whose conditions- were ludicrous, and of others
which'a en - quite earnest. In New York two re
spectable citizens bound themselves to ea7oh othersin
'a regular, legal instrument after the wager was
made. If MeCiellßn received a majority in the
State of New York the party of the first part was
to assume a fashionable' dress and sweep the most
public part of Broadway, between the hours of ra M.
and aP. M. If Lincoln reCeived a majority the
party of the second part was to do the same
thing. Two. others agreed, in a, similar man
ner, that if Lincoln carried Pennsylvania the
party of , the first part was to trundle a
wheelbarrow load of sand, with an American flag
dying front the load, a half a mile along Broad
way, making the - Astor House his point of depar
ture and arrival. and vice versa. A citizen of Tren
ton, in case McOlellan Carried the §tatei, 61131
the pleasant days of a week, (which he had the
served right to select,) to eat a frugal dinner on the
steps of the courthouse, said dinner to be served to
him by bootblacks in the filthiest state of . dilapida.
tion. In Chicago an ea-United States Marshal, a.
blatant Copperhead, will, according to the terms of
his wager, be compelled to pay for and eat four din.'
nem with- such colored company as the fortunate
winner of his wager may select.
In Binghamton, NeW York,there is • a lady whose
suitor was a strong supporter of McClellan. So
Certain was he of his favorite being the favorite of
the people, that he proposed to hls sweetheart that
in caee of Lincoln's election he would promenade
the public streets, at high noon, with a large
placard on his back Inscribed " Sold," never dimwit
lug that he would have to fulfil his promise. Bat
on Wednesday last, having discovered his mistake,
he was forced to execute his promenade, much to
his own disgust and to the delight of small boys and
the amusement of children of larger growth.
--We have many other instances of this kind at
band, but what we have given are sufficient to mark
two -features of last Tuesday—the impressive and
the ludicrous.

A MILITARY IMBROGLIO
Our generals, in regard to questions of supremacy,
seem to be nearly as irritable as are Persons of
Quality in cases where the right of - precedence in
entering the supper room is involved. Gen. Butler
and Gen. Dix are just at present engaged is one of
these harmless little disputes,. wherein also appears
the spectre of an ancient Fossil, who, like little Joe,
of Bleak House, is "always in the way." 'So much,
at least, saith Rumor. In the midst of conflicting
statements, we are wholly unable to detect the ex
act status belonging to either. Gen. Butler may be
In command of this State, of this city, or only of the
troops who were brought up from before Richmond.
At all events, it seems both singular and unfortu-
nate that Gen. Harvey Brown and Gen. Butler—
the former who saved New York at the time
of the' July riots, and the latter, who saved
it from scenes of equivalent violenfe on Taos.
day last, should both find themselves embroiled
with other generals. No blame is imputed to
General Dix in this instance. There is something
unfortunate somewhere ; that is all. General Batler
declared, In bil general order, that there is but one
army—that of the- United States; and he assumed
the right. to command the State troops as well as
those! sworn ,into the . service of the Government.
General Dix suppressed that portion of the order,
and General Sandford; our' militia commander,
declined to consider himself bound by Butler's
orders. The latter fact, of course, has no import ;
but the former has, Indeed, the question is one of
such gravity that the Secretary of War 19 called
upon to decide it.
On the other hand, however, an evening paper
seems to discredit all the story, claiming that there
ie no misunderstanding between the Generals,
‘, and that if any questions have arisen, such ques
tions have- been 'disposed of in the most friendly
spirit.) , To which every one will say, Amen I

Publie , Entertainments.
THE GSRMAN
.OPERA.—The houses. thus • far
attracted by the able and spirited performances at
the Academy would be. worthy pf the largest as
they are of " the best city in the world," The per
formance of Ralevy's "Jewess," last evening, has
hardly been surpassed, if altogether equalled, upon
the stage of the Academy. This magnificent opera
has gained greatly in public judgment and popular
favor, and, notwithstanding Its unusual length of
five acts, it will long.be a great entertainment to
students of dramatic music and the more
general admirers of effect. The composer,
who complained of neglect in his lifetime,
has triumphed, at least, in this thoughtful and
.vigorous masterpiece. If not always replete with
new ideas, "La Juive" boars, upon the whole,
the stamp of originality and power, and, in dra
matic capability is hardly inferior to the beat
works of Moyerbeer. Passages will compare with
the best achievements of opera, as, for instance, the
finale of the first act and the music of the second.
Its performance was, excepting "Faust," the host
we have yet • received from the German com
pany, whose ability' to render this so well pro
mises' much for the great works yet to be pro
duced. 'Simmer's Lazarus has brought the ability
which he displayed in "Faust:" into. still broader
notice, and his dramatio performance deserves con
gratulation. Madame Johannsen, in a part so
worthy of her superior dramatic power, as the Jew
els, exhibited the intelligence and feeling whin
have made her least performances valuable to the
public. We have not had for years an artist who
has given such earnest justice to the finest roles of
the opera, and this is not always due so much.to the
excellent voice of Madame Johsansen as to her in
tellectual appreciation. Hermann's Cardinal Brost
ni gave us a new 'figure, and we might almost say a
new voice, so artistically did • this master basso:
Inspire hie pert—so grandly did he deliver the Bono
roue thunders of the church-musical. Madame
Rotter never sings without effect, but has, appa
re.ntly, improved as an artist, and moderated that
'excess of declamation which, without taking any.
thing from her present popularity; frequently mis
represented the music of the composer. . In parts
nearest to those of the soubrette, Madame Rotter
possesses a popularity and attraction not easily sur
passed. The difficult music she executed so effec
tively, at times, in the part of Princess Eudorie,
proved her skill and accomplishment. Habelmann,
as Prince Ltopold, though suffering with a slight
hoarseness, sing with his usual excellent taste and
spirit. But to the whole perfor.oranoe of "The
Jewess"—in orchestration, voles, and aoting—we
must give high praise. Thls afternoon, " A Night
In Grenada.'?
NaTioner.:CtisotrellA.TlN2l3.—The first matiate
lof the National Circus will take place this after
noon on Walnut street, above Eighth. The same
programme of entertainment arranged stir the eve
sing will be performed this afternoon, The compa
ny certainly is most excellent In at% las2l - c• art; a n d

A ROMANTIC OA.Tl3.—Four guerillas were shot at
Pleasureville, Henry county, Ky., on. Wednuiday
fortnight, In retaliation for the murder of a Union
roan by one of the thieving gangs roaming in that
part of that State. Our telegraph'', columns have
already chronicled, but they omitted this fact: As
soon as the execution was over, the soldiers left the
viliape on the train waiting tor them. The bodies
of the unfortunate men were left to be forwarded to
their friends. After tho military guard. had de
parted, live guerillas,-mounted, dashed into the
village, reined up their horses in front of the corpses,
and, with cocked revolvers in their hands, swore by
the blood of their dead comrades that their
death should be avenged. The scene, In effect, was
tragical, and 'made a deep Impression upon the
hearts of the persons who witnessed it.

CITY ITEIIS.
THE LONDON TI7dHEI ON SIEwING MA.CITINES".—
" The Wheeler & Wilson Machine is the ono best
calculated for household work. It makes the lock
stitch by means of a rotating hook, doing away
with the shuttle, which. is unnecessarily noisy.
There are othei maohines which substitute a looper .
for the shuttle; and make a single thread loop-stitch,
*which is apt to unravel. Sense Of the Sewing Mae
chines are very extravagant in the use of thread;
one of the most noted of those making the double
loop chain stitch using sdi yards of thread to ono of
sewing. This is a serious matter." .
To show the immense and growing popularity of
the Wheeler & Wilson Machine, we would state
that over. 50,000 of them will have been manufac
tured this Tear, and nearly 6,000 have been sold in
Philadelphia alone. Instruction given at the resi
dences of purchasers. Every machine warranted,
and the-money returned if not entirely. satisfactory.
We advise all to go to the .elegant salesrooms of
Wheeler & Wilson, No. 704 Chestnut street, and see
these wonderful Machines in operation. Our friends
out of town should send 'for a circular and sped. :

How TO DECIDE TILE QUECATION.—Thero being a
multiplicity of Sewing Machines offered to the pub
lic, each one claitnedlobe the best, and as the most
prominent ones are within a stone's throw of each
other, wo advise all contemplating purchasing to
give them all a thorough test before doing so. This
may be easily done by taking samplei of different

Tii-A.024010.1111T STOCK ow . Larams' FOBS,—As the
season is at hand for the ladies of our city to make
their seleetimas of _Fancy Furs, we have been at
some pairs to learn the state of the market. In
stocks, the richest, probably, in the United States
is that offered by the well-known old house of
Messrs. A. H. & F. K. Womrath, No.-415 Arch
street. Prices rule very much in acoordance with
other classes of merohandise, bat there are fair in
dications that a larger proportion of the finer and
more costly Furs will be sold this season than ever
before. We yesterday had the pleasure of exami
ning, at the store of the illessrs. Womrath, a single
set which they had just sold at the snug round sum
of fiflien hundred dollars in gold. The stock of Furs
offered by these gentlemen this season is extremely
rich, while their stock of meditim-priced goods is
also large and varied. All who are In want Of Fars
should not fail to visit this leading establishment.
TEE PLACE OE ALL OTHERS IN PHILADELPHIA.
TO DINE is at the celebrated Saloons of Mr. T. W.
Price, southwest corner of Fobrth and Chestnut
streets. Mr. Price has left no stone unturned or
expedient untried to place before the citizens of
Philadelphia • a iiret•class dining establishment,
worthy the name and fame of our city, and the suc
cess with which his efforts have been crowned is no
lees profitable to him than it is gratifying to his
numerous patrons who. daily visit his quarters to
replenish the inner man. We notice that he is now
enriching his bill of fare with.all s the game in sea•
son—fine poultry, oysters in every style, delicious
salads, the choicest moats, vegetables served in the
best manner, splendid desserts, and the most popu
lar table beverages. For a first class dinner or sup
per, either at his saloons or served at the residences
of his patrons, by competent and intelligent waiters,
we believe that T. W. Price'ls without a rival in the
country. A single trial will convert the most skep
tical to this opinion.
TUE Hansa OF MESSRS. Gnovan E Basalt, No•
730 Chestnut street, has become doubly attractive
to the ladles of our city, from the fact that here
may not only ba selected the most desirable Sewing
Machines in the world, but in their Stitching Rooms
the most tasteful and fastidious can always be ac
commodated', at the shortest notice, with everything
pertaining to the wardrobe of ladies or children.
This is a, great public convenience. The character
of the work executed at these rooms Is unsurpassed
by-anything in the way of needle or sewing•machine
work that we have ever examined. The specimens
displayed in their windows -attract universal atten
tion.
GRATLEMILIZ REPLEICISTUNG THEIR WARDROBES
will find it greatly to their advantage to visit the
famous old house of Messrs. C. Somers & Son, No.
625 Chestnut street, under Jayne , e. Hall. Their
stock of ready-made garments is large, and their
prices reasonable. They import most of their
fabrics direct, and can sell on more favorable terms
on that account. In•their Customer Department,
also, their facilities 'for gratifying gentlemen of
taste are unsurpassed. Upon the whole, we know
of no Clothing Establishment where gentlemen-can
be so elegantly suited at so reasonable a cost.
THE SITFICRIORITY OF IVr_assas. E. G. Warrmaat
& Co.'s Clowaw:rioNs over all others madis in this
city is universally conceded. Their store, No. 318
Chestnut street, is, in fact, the Confectionery head
quarters of our city. The very choicest things that
'genius could invent or cultivated-taste appreciate
can always be obtained here, fresh, wholesome, and
at reasonable prices. Their various candles, chodo
late preparations, mixtures, &c., are a delicious dad
healthful luxury.

Bavoirrmav, nv DRESB.—Revolutions in costume
are periodical, as are almost everything else in this
world. From the beginning of this century, when
dresses were reduced to their narrowest proportions,
they have gradually increased In size till they have
become so uncomely and uncomfortably dhstendod
that It is neither safe nor possibbi to wear them.
Of course this applies more to - feminine than to
manly costume ; and this fact is mainly attributa
ble to the conservative influence exerted by the
Brown Stone Clothing Hall of Rockhill Sr. Wilson,
Noe. 603 and 605 Chestnut street, above Sixth. That
is the place to procure substantial, comfortable,
and truly elegant wearing apparel.
