The Northern Elections.
The Richmond Wing, (Noveniber - speak
ing Of the recent Northern elections, says They
show plainly that the tide sets all one way, and
that against Abraham Lincoln and his rampant
war party. II the electioneering reservations
and appeals Of this party could be credited,
this success of the Democrats is about equal TO
a declaration of peace. But they are not to be
credited, and we are not permitted TO take that
comfort to our bosoms. We have reasons TO
hope. though, that with Democratic Congress
and a Republican administration, regarding
each other as men who are in doubt but that
tomorrow they may be cutting each others
throats, the war will not be set forward any.
As Lincoln and his party brought on the war,
and have conducted 1t themselves, the people
have meant by this remarkable revolution to
declare, not only a deep dissatisfaction, but 10
decree that important changes shall be made I;
end having found out their strength, and hav-
ing less fear of the Bsstile before their eyes, we
may expect that the Opposition will now speak
their sentiments with boldness they have not
dared to venture before.
From the kanawha Valley.
General Echols, commanding our army in
Kanawha Valley was induced TO fall back by
the representations of Yankee spy, who pass
ed himself of as Federal officer. He came TO
Gen. Echols and gave himself up as prisoner,
informing the general that large force of the
enemy were coming in his rear by way of Mich
OILS Court House. Ii turns out that he was a
Yankee spy sent for the purpose, which he un-
fortunately accomplished. Having large qaan-
titles Of counterfeit Confederate money on his
person, he was arrested and IL now In the hands
of Gen. Echols, and will soon try the strength
OF Southern hemp.
This move of Gen. Echols Is a most unfortu-
nate one at present. We are not only cut off
from securing through the energy of our Gov
ernment large quantity of salt, but we have
abandoned TO the merciless enemy many warm
friends and supporters of the Government.
