Tactics Of the Austrian Generals in

U8iys &
The movements Of the Austrian army
grow every day more puzzling.. The ex-
tension of their rightin force to Tronzano.
Santhia, BELLS, San Germano, with power
full supports at Vercelli and Gattinara, coup
led with the feints at ,Nrassinetto, 5Yoghera,
and Tortona, seemed TO indicate a com
bined movement upon the lines Of the Dora
Baltea, and thence to Turin. But on Sun
day, as we hear from the official reports pub
lished in the Piedmontese capital, the Aus
TRANS had actually retired from all their DO
sitlons on the right bank of the Sesia, in
GLIDING even Verceili, and had retired in
such haste that they left forced contribu-
tions of forage behind them. Again on
Monday, a strong column occupied Strop-
piano,on the road to Trinc, but hastily with
drew yesterday morning
All this looks like vacllation, indecision,
want Of plan but no one who is at all ac-
quaintcd with the endless stratagems of war
will hastily adopt that view. If the Aus
TRANS, as is believed in Paris, have endeav-
cred to out-man@uvre their opponents, it
it is most probable they would have adopt
ed tie very course they have pursued. A
well informed correspondent says that s'this
crossing the Pc was feint to attract atten-
ton, while the Austrians prepared to sweep
from their right upon Turin. It may be
remembered that their operations favor this
view. Their show of force upon tie right
was weak at first. Gradually it took lar
ger proportions and covered a greater ex-
tent of ground. Then it was pushed for
ward to Trino and was Withdrawn. Light
columns marched to Tronzano, even to "
rea, and then fell back All this time the
show of strength was On the Pc at Frassi-
netto, Valencia and Gambia. Then sala
was occupied for moment, and the bridc
es on the Scrivia broken down or blown up,
The effect Of these operations has undoubt-
edly been to draw the French to their right.
seeing that they were naturally anxious to
cover the approaches to Now and the great
line of communication with Genoa. The
latest Austrian movements, although move
nYents to the rear, are quite consistent with
the assumption that they have serious de-
signs on the line Dora Baltea, for they may
be only a part Of a series Of deceptions.-
We cannot say that we see any ground for
believing that if the Austrians have enter
tanned such design they will succeed. -
Still the only mode whereby they can hope
to reach Turin seems to be that indicated
namely, to hold their left strohgly at Pla-
cenza and Pavia and the angle between
the 20 and Ticino, while, having in
duced their foes to gather in that quarter,
they suddenly strike hard upon the Dora
Baltea. 7

The State Election.

Inc returns winch are pouring IN from
all parts of the State ensure the election of
Mr.. Letcher by respectable but diminished
majority, compared with that Of IS This
diminution in the majority Of Mr.. Letcher
would be discouraging to the friends of De-
smocracy were not the causes which brought
it about obvious to the most casual obser-
yer. When one takes into consideration
all the causes which were operating to the
injury Of the victorious party--the quarrel
ing and warning before the nomination
party disorganized and distracted BY the
conflicting claims Of aspiring politicians af-
ter the nomination, and many others too nu-
merous to mention-he will find just cause
to admire the wonderful innate strength
which alone has carried the Democracy
through the storm, in spite of combined
and well organized Opposition, and in spite
of their own leaders. The Opposition have
had in the late canvass everything in their
favor, Except the affections Of the people; y
they had shrewd and veteran leaders, a
thoroughly organized party. and perfect
system Of political tactics, and defeat un-
der such circumstances makes apparent the
tepugnance with which the people look upon
the tenets Of that party, and the tenacious
hold which Democracy has upon the popu-
lar heart. 70 the masses-the toiling mil
lions-this victory is alone to be ascribed;
to the leaders, the politicians nothing is due,
, for IN spite of them the Democracy are tri-.
umphant.
We know that the Opposition will be en-
couraged by the diminished majority of the
Governor elect to anticipate great things
in the future but in this they will be most
woefully mistaken, for we sincerely believe
the Democratic party to be stronger this day
in Virginia than ever before, and instead Of
being Ndisheartened and dispirited by the re-
suit Of the late election, it will only stimh-
late us to greater exertion and thorough Or
ganisation in tho future. We have been
taught a lesson which can never be forgot
ten, and with no free fights and Independent
candidates in the field in go, with closed
ranks and courageous hearts, we will pre-
sent an unbroken front to the enemy and

party which will surprise even those who

'4os GENERALS OF FRANcE.-It is said that
there areeno generals Of any great talent in
the French army. The same was said at
the beginning of the last continental war.
But the occasion produced the generals then,
as it will again. One great secret Of the
military success of France is that she has
discarded the aristocratic and, senseless rule
by which in England, tic United States,
end other countries, the doors Of promotion
are shut to priyates, The consequence of
such rule is that the ranks of both those
countries are filed with admirable fighting
machines, but not with men, such as are
found in the armies of France, men who
have the proper pride and hope of malhood,
and who fight for something else besides
their pay. Most Of Napoleot's great gen
erals rose. from tie ranks, and the ranks
will supply again, if necessary, a c6nstela-
ton Of splendid military names surrounding,
and perhaps eclipsihg the central star, Ma
poleon III. 1'i
Of course, whilst there are no Drawer men
in the world physically than the soldiers and
sailors of the United States and of England
no one enters either the military or naval
service of these countries who has any hope
or expectation Of a future No man whose
soul swells with a Consciousness of great ca
liabilities is going to put himself in posi-
ton where those capabilities can never be
Of any earthly use to his country, mankind
or himself, much less to place his person in
the power of petty tyrants, who may at tkeir
pleasure subject him to corporeal punish
ment, shave his head. or put him in chain
gang.
The emily generals Of Napoleon who ever
proved recreant were men Of great social
pretensions. IF more military talent shall
be needed at the head of the French army,
Napoleon III will look for it where genius
and fidelity are generally fourd-in the
ranks.
