REBEL COMMENTS on THE ELECTIONS.
The Richmond Wing of Nov. 6th, i'll speak
ing of the recent northern elections, says -
"They show plainly that the tide sets all ono
way, and that against Abraham Lincoln and
his rampant party. II the electioneering as
scyerations and appeals OF this party could be
credited, this success of the democrats is about
equal 10 declaration of peace. But they are
not to be credited, and we are not permitted
to take that comfort to our bOsoms. We
have reason to hope though that with Il
democratic congress and a republican adj
ministration, regarding each other as men
who are in doubt but that tomorrow they
may De cutting each others throats, the
war will not be set forward any. As Lincoln
and his party brought on the war, and have
conducted it themselves, the people have
meant this remarkable revolution to declare
not only deep dissatisfaction, but to decree
that important changes shall be made. And
having found out their strength, and having
less fear of the Bastile before their eyes, we
may expect that the opposition will now speak
their sentiments with boldness they have not
dared to venture before"
sPY's DEVICE.
The following is also from the Wing:
Gen Echos, commanding our army in
Kauawaha valley, was induced to fall back by
the representations of Yankee spy, who
passed himself off as a federal soldier. He
came to Gen. Echols and gave himself up as
a prisoner, informing the general that large
force of the enemy were coming in his rear
by way of Nichols Court House. Itturns out
he was a Yankee spy sent out for the purpose.
He unfortunately accomplished it. Having
large quantities of counterfeit confederate
money on his person, he was arrested, and is
now in the hands of Gen. Echols, and will
soon try the strength OF southern hemp. This
move Of Gen. Echols Is a most unfortunate one
at present. We are not only cut of from
securing. through the energy Of our govern
ment large quantity of salt, but we have
abandoned to the mercy Of q merciless enemy
many warm friends and supporters OF the
government.

FROM MISSISSIPPI
MOBILE, Nov. 6.-The enemy have ad-
yapced in force to La Grange, and are adj
yancing on this place. Jaekson's cavalry to-
day had a skirmish at Lamar. 1t is probable
that the enemy will give us battle, as they are
about to make strenuous efforts to open the
Mississippi. The prospect of recognition is
hurrying them.
