Santa Rosa


The brilliant aud dashing exploit at
Santa Rosa Island, says the New Orleans
Crescent is ono Of the best things that has
happened since the beginning Of the war.
For some time past the Yankees have
been concentrating troops and munitions
Of war at that point, Fort picllens not be

ability is that they designed making the

might ft out for maraudiug expeditions,
and retire to In case OF accident or run
ming short OF supplies l,was important
to US to prevent this, ii possible, and gall

the accounts published. we have burned
anu destroyed everything the Yankees
had there outside of the Fort, taken q
large number of prisoners, and driven of
the rascals who constituted the famous
rovdy regiment of Billy Wilson. Andwe
did it all with only one thousand men.
The enemy's encampment we suppose,
was beyond the range OF the guns of the
Fort or it my he that The Fort kept
silent for fear Of iniuring their own men
more than ours. We rather think now
that we are even with them, and some
thing ahead, comparing this bold dash Of
ours with their achievement Of burning
the dry dock and the schooner Judah.
Our only regret is that we did not cap
ture the leader Of this baud Of cut-throats,
thieves and lazzaroui the famous Billy
Wilson himself. The achievement would
have been com pleto il this gracelossrowdy
could have been added TO our already
large mcnagerie Of captive Yankees. We
see that the f,,etuess Of foot which serve

The Next Election.

The election for Governor, State officers
$50 i4ckaIature IN TINS
State being now over, the attention OF our
people will be more particularly directed
to the elections for President, Vice Presi-
dent. and members Of Congress for the
Confederate States The election for Pres
ident and Vice President may be consid-
cred as matter beyond debate. Davis
and Stephens are the only persons spoken
of or thought Of.
In the Congressional elections will be
the only contests, and we are glad to see
in nearly every instance, so far as our OBJ
servation has extended, able men running
for this important position, In MAORI
ty of the States there are active contests
going on in every District between rival
aspirants. In our own there are two or
more candidates in every District, except
this, the 9th, where Major BARGspalE Is
accorded the seat by reclamation.
In the District Immediately south OF us,
to which we feel attached by long associa-
ton, and in which the Cauoa has always
hal very large circulation, Gov. McRAE
some time since declared himself a candi-
date as it was thought without the proha-
bility of enountering competitor. We
learn, however, that worthy citizen Of
Pike County, Hon. j. II. LANPKIN, has
recently declared himself candidate
Whatever may be the ability or qualified
tions of his competitor, we can see no rea-
son why he should supplant Gov. McRAE
in the District, and we expect to see tho
Governors old friends IN the Eastern and
lower counties rally to his support and
give him unapimous vote. Nobody dis
putes his capacity for the ofhce-his long
experience in public life, his thorough
knowledge Of legislative rules and usages'
With his superior talents, settles that que'-
ton. We have no doubt Of his triumph
ant election, but his friends should not
suffer an overwoenlng confidence IN ms
strength and popularity to induce them
to keep away from the polls
