IL about twelve days the election will be held in the
camps and in seven more days 10 the precincts.
Good men will vote honestly, some for johnson and
some for Vance. We do not pretend to say which Of
these gentlemen Will be elected AS We are going to
vote for Johnston ourselves cf course desire bis cleo
ton. We hope he will be elected.
But to effect this result We will not resort to any
abuse of Mr. Vance. lie good clever fellow in his
own way. lie is an ardent politician and a bitter
partizan--as much so now as ever he was. He is q
good eectoneerer and was therefore se;z9d upon by
the clique who have been trying their hardest to create
division and build up party for their own advance
ment We think think Mr. Vance is worthy of better
company, but with that clique he has cast his fate
He belongs TO it and can't help himself. We wish it
were otherwise.
Mr. Joh1 sion OF Meckienburg county-not of
South Carolina Of the unprotected whippers-
in OF the clique opposed 20 him are fond OF falsely say
iDg-Mr. Johr SION Of Meckeuburg, North Carolina
the soa OF MIR. Johnston of CASTOR county, North
Carolina, is not professional politician, bitter
partzan. lie has held many public trusts bat not OF
political character. We believe his election to the
State Convention his first appearance in political
life.
II is worthy Of attention aud remark that while the
acts OF the Military Board LAST year gave great dssatis
faction, ard many of its appointments were severely
canvassed, the appointment of Mr. Johnston as Com
missary General was, from the first, acceptable, and
while complaint perhaps unavoidable, existed in regard
to all the other departments connected with the troops
none made against the Commissary.
But We only wish to warn all persons against being
imposed upon by the unprnciped who would represent
Mr. Johnston as being anything else than what be is
He is North Carolinian, the son of North Carohn
iar connected with nearly all the old Meckenburg rev.
olutiorary families. He has never even temporarily

From the Chicago Post, july .
Yesterday, during the excitement following the 6,s.
reports of the fight before Richmond the particn'ss
enemies OF Gen. Mcclellan betrayed their bitterr.sar,
very decidedly. Excited groups collected at evern
corner. La front Of this ofhce a very large crony5
COLI c;ed anxious to hear the news. An excited Gov
trovtrsy soon sprung up. In al animated contro

and unreservedly against Mcclellan Mr.. HaddUo!

MIR. Patrick is we'll known citizen of Chicsyo
man of strong political prejudces, it may be, but q';II
so far above suspicion that we dare not question b

A year ago, as understand, a charter was
granted by the legislature of Massachusetts,
for horse railroad in this city. Upon look

Loring Goes, VIM. II. Haywood, John C.

Wall. J am informed that the charter is in
the most desirable form, and is as well fitted
TO the feasibility of the enterprise as any
charter which would be likely to be granted
by any legislature See laws OF 1861, chapter
140. Can any one inform me why the cor

frequently asked, Where is the Wor.

If the experiment is not to be tried, presume
that the community would be glad 10 know it.
II the present corporators are not prepared to
go forward, will they not at least take the
steps necessary for an organization, and give
to others Il chance to aid in the enterprise
The clouds which enveloped the last year,
seem to be dispensing, and brighter days to be
coming Would it not be well to be getting
ready to avail ourselves OF the fresh impulse
which must be given TO the growth and bust

must be preliminary to building and running

New ORLEANs.-No city in the world is so
peculiar in its topography as New Orleans 1t
is situated on the left bank of the river, one
hundred and ten miles from its PRINCIPAL
mouth, the South Pass. 1t stretches or stray
giles along the bank OF the river some six or
seven miles, with an average depth OF one
mile, it only being possible to build on the
narrow strip Of land lying Immediately on the
edge OF the river, the highest point being in
'front.' an then rapidly sinking in the rear un.
tH lost in tnterminGble SledmpS. In the rear of
New Orleans, a half mile, perhaps, beyond the
suburbs, is the Metarie ridge, narrow strip
OF high land two or three feet above high wa.
ter mark, of an average of halt mile in width;
then you come again to the swamp, which
continues TO the shores OF the lake beyond,
almost as dense as any in the sur.
rounding valley, gloomy and peculiar and un.
inhabited, except by algators and bitterns.
The front Of New Orleans is of course on the
river, aud from the peculiarly OF the country.
and the levee which serves to protect the civ
from being overfowed by the spring rise, our
heet, when it reaches the city, will be above the
ground on which the city is built, and command
il as from an eminence. This circumstance.
with the TACT that the breaking of the levee
by cannon.shOt, or R few minutes work with
the spade, Wouid submerge The whoie place makes
New Orleans, with its detenceess rear, which
we shall describe, the weakest and least pro.
tected place Of any commercial Importance in
the world.

'MADEMoIsELLE, in the Transcript, Mon
day, states her opinion of rebel flags. and
makes graceful mention OF the opening spring,
as follows -
"Now l wish to say a word in behalf of reb-
ell banners. Newspapers aud public speakers
call them 'secesh rags miserable lags,' and
SO on Now in themselves they are not rags
at least, those which We have seen arc not
but very good flags, red, blue, and hite, with
stars prettily arranged on a blue field. To be
sure they did not look thick and firm, and
costly as our beautiful flags are-but they
were not to be despised as flags AS to
the thing they represent, that seems 10
me powerful and wicked, not poor and miser.
able. The terrible power that has cost us a
year OF war, and is still active and defiant. is
not thing to be lIkened 10 a rag-and, be-

Yesterday, for the first time since winter
came, Salisbury Pond was blue and spark
ling, and last summers rivalry in color he
tween it and Wachusett was renewed To
day on the dry hill sides we found great pink
and white clusters of arbulus and such hand
some beds of cIeckerherries, with shining
dark leaves and bright irui,. On one stem
found six berries; the cluster was almost as
pretty as the moose berries in the Maine
woods. All the brooks are full and fOamY
and noisy; and the hundred little falls of the
Cascade are quite grand in their rush and roar
Dogtpolh violeIs and hepaticas are in bloom
and We found lew saHquinaris blossoms
stnnding stately and solitary and wrapped in
their cloaks like the Spanish heroes of rather
old fashioned stories. When the flowers and
green leaves are wide open they are cheerful
aud spirited, but in their folded condition they
are very proud and handsome. The NAPLES
are warm and red again and the willow eat
klns are little soft heaps of mouse color and
yellow and now for long months to come We
shall have constant succession of wild flow
ers. Snow drifts still linger in pretty places,
waiting TO see what the spring will do with
the earth nov she has it fairly in her hands :;
and the young green creeps slowly over the
brown landscape ; but the birds and the buds
and the brooks promise great things and
their promise never tails"

such hostility. 1t could find no poorer evi.

A REBEL CAEARD.-The rebels have an
absurd report that Gen. Burnside has been
repulsed with great loss in an attempt to land
troops at Elizabeth City. 1t comes to us from
fort Monroe as follows :
FORTRESS MONROE, April 21-A Peters
burg paper of to day contains statement
that 5000 federals under Burnside attemp cd
to land at Elizabeth City but were repulsed
with a loss of 500 by a rebel force OF 1000,
including Georgia regiment. The rebel loss
III killed is stated at 10, including Capt Me
Courn and Lieut.. Wilson, both OF the Georgia
regiment. A report to the same effect was
current at Norfolk, last night"
The rebels should not tell incredible stories
if they expect to gain belief. The gunboats
can go to elizabeth City, and, with their aid,
Gen. Burnside will land at that place if he
wishes to do so, not only against 1000 rebels,
but against 10000 if necessary. The New bern
Progress, Of the 10th inst, gives the following
account Of an expedition from Roanoke Isl
and to Elizabeth City:
"ANoTHER EXPLOIT AT ELIZABETH CITY
On Tuesday, April Sth, portion OF the troops
stationed at Roanoke went on an expedition
to the main land, just above Elizabeth City.
They came upon camp OF rebels, greatly su
perior in numbers, and put them to fight.
Eighty of the rebels were captured a large
quantity of arms, tents, SC. One rebel was
killed, but not patriot killed or wounded.
The rebels had just cooked their breakfast,
and left it hot and smoking on their tables,
such was their haste. 1t furnished our boys
with an extra ration, which they are truly
thankful for"
