Now that the elections are over, we shaH proOa

Il "a believed by Eany Tia, the President and Cabi-
Mt are willing TO act us soon az the people thow
disposition to demand action. Nh Cameron's recent
instructions to Gen. Sherman Of the Naval bXPedi-
ton, are certainly great way IN advance oil any
preyious official act Of the War Department, ana
they seem to warrant Mr.. Sumner in claiming that
the doctrine Of his recent speeches ia Substantially
indorsed by The Administration. II the Secretary
document is put forward as feeler, shere need be
no fear Of going further for have seen no express
sions Of diaapprobaton, even from Mr.. Hot III
fact every successive step which the Administration
has taken in the direc ion Of emancipation, has been
met with signs Of popular appreciation II is only
the retrograde movements, ike the modilicauoh
of Fremont's proclamation, which have eXcited
discomfort. The common sense OF the people
of all classes, conservatives as well as radicals,
enables them TO see that this rebellion is formidable
enough to demand the use Of both hands, and that 1t
cannot be crushed by Government which persists
in keeping one Of its hands tied behind IT. Dem
ocrats and Pro Slavery men see this, many oil Them
at least, as clearly as Abolition5is, but, having
political end in view three years hence, ii suits their
purposes to oppose active measures, IN order tnaI
delay, disaster and taxation may tire the people out
The moment vigorous policy is adopted they VIII
be compelled to support it. Then no-partyism will
come naturally, for there viii be an Administration
which tie Republicans and q very large share OF The
Democrats will support with enthusiasm, and which
the few ncurabe Hunkers will be compelled to toll.
crate III sulen silence. The sailing Of the great fleet
is the most suspicious and hopeful event Of the war.
News from 1t is looked for with intense anxiety, and
the events which are now occurring will probably
shape the character of the war for the future. II
we succeed in maintaining foothold in the Cotton
Kingdom without calling upon the negroes for aid,
probably the old policy will be pursued siill longer
but if the enemy place Gen. Sherman and his forces
in peril, we must call upon the slaves for aid. Gen.
Thomas was told by the commander in Kentucky
that il would take 100000 men 70 hold that State
Probably 90 900 would be sufficient under en- eman-
cipaton policy. South Carolina would be nIne-
dately paralyzed by proclamation Of freedom from
Gen. Sherman.
Texas is regarded by many persons here as an ex-
celleut field for Winter operations; and the poses
sion of that State, which might be effected by the
establishment Of new Government in the western
| part, which should be well supported by the army,
would efeclualy cut Of Slavery from further extern
sion and this 10 the chief motive Of tie war, and
not personal or political ambition. The public lands
Of Texas would tempt an army Of Northern men
into that ilne country, and Winter campaign there
would have no terrors for them.
There has been some trouble with tie cavalry Tegi.

get at the facts Of the case. Col Wiiiiams and It,

Of unnecessary harshness and plantation style OF

Augustus Morse, Of tbs Twenty-frst regiment,
which has bsen stationed at Annapolis, has been cn-
gagged in the unlawful and noarous business Of re-

pleased with his courtesy in this respect that he went
to the Government to get Col. Morse and his regi.
ment detached from the Naval Expedition, 30 that
it might remain in Maryland for the protection of is
domestic institutions. hope this is lie; for Wor-
cester County, where the regiment was recruited,
would prefer TO have her sons organizing freedom in
South Carolina, rather than preserving Slavery in
Maryland.
Mr. Forrest has been playing very poor part ny

theatrical critic Of The Courier, Mr.. Henry G..
Parker. do not pretend to judge of the business OF
Mr.. Parkers criticisms, but the managers comments
on them are excessively foolish.
