be of the true southern grit, the following extract
from a letter indicates:
"No doubt you have heard of Buffers proclamation
concerning ladies, and guess he regrets it very
much. Our ladies neat little secession
flag sewed on their bosoms, and they plainly show a
liver in the right side of their belt and small dirk
in the left, and in many cases they turning

The exact number, if the truth known, may
not exceed 400 900 efficient men. Scores of regiments

STANLY HARD PUSHED AND TRYING THE
BRIDE GAME.-We have certain information, by
way Of the underground railroad that "Governor'
Edward Stanly is getting quite sick of his mission
to North Carolina, in the character of Abe Lin
coins agent, emissary and representative. He
has been holding out the strongest brides to seduce
true Southern men to take the oath of allegiance
to Lincoln, but without effect among others, he
sent for an aged gentleman, warm friend of Mr.
Stanlys before he went to California, who had
been plundered and impoverished by the Burn
side "respectors of private property" and prom
ised him the restitution of his negroes and pay
for ALI his losses, in gold provided he tcouu take
the oath This the aged patriot refused to do,
replying, with a pardonable warmth, that Il" he
would see him and the whole Yankee nation --
first. They had stolen most of what he had and
they might take the balance, if they could get 1t,
but they could not bride or buy him IL is said,
also, that Mr. Stanly has written letter to Hon.
Geo. E. Badger, soliciting his aid in bringing the
State back into the old Federal Union, and that
Mr. Badger has replied to the request in very
able letter, IN which he positively refuses to CO.
operate in any such movement.
We have little or no doubt of the truth of
these statements and trust that the letters will be
given to the public at an early day. Mr. Stanly
finds that he has undertaken fruitless mission,
and that his warmest personal and political friends
are now bitterly opposed to his present course,
and denounce his position firmly and as strongly
as any of his former opponents VIZ Journal

The people Of the loyal North have
epoken. Seven Of the lasgsst and most
populous States. representing three
fourtbs u the entire population Of the
North, have throsn OF the Abolition
Republicas yoke, and rallied around the
Democratic standard. The people, jcal-
ous Of their rights, and astonished at the
fisgrsut asd illegal sots Of the present
administsasion, have cone forth in their

tives 10 fiji the places TINS dishonored.
The elections Of the l4th OF October
and the Alb Of November, have driven
the last nail into the lid Of the Abolition
coffin. The result Is the election OF .
Democratic Congress. Many Of the
most visulent Abolitionists have been
defeated, and their places been filed
with honest, constitution loving men.
We cannot give the exact majority at
the present time, but few days will
disclose il.
Language Is inadequate to express
the qualification Of the people at this
timely and overwhelming rebuke to the
party in power. In the face and eyes
OF military rule and despotsm they have
stood up and asserted their rights
Thousands and tens Of thousands Of con-
sentative Republicans who voted for
the present aduinistration have become
thoroughly disgusted with its imbec'lity
on the one hand and its unwarrantable
encroachmcnts upon the rights Of the
people on the other. and with one &C.
cord they have turned their backs upon
the corruption with which they had un.
Willingly became allied, and striking
hands with the Democracy, have been
greatly instrumental in bringing about
these most happy and most salutary re-
suits.
"The people are never wrong'-when
they speak they mean just what they
say, and never was any verdict that they
have declared, more just, moro truthful
than the one now before US. They have
arraignsd the Aboiitionists and their
President. The evidence against them
was overwhelming, and the decision has
been against them. Let the tide Of
reason sweep on. Let the country take
courage. Brighter days are dawning.
The Keystone Of the F.leral Arch is
Democratic, the pillars on either side
are Democratic-the fabric must stand,
in spite Of rebellion in the South, or Alb.
clifton treason in the North. Hard has
been the contest, and most glorious has
been tho result.
Let the victors rejoice. Let them
hold mass meetings-let the people as
semble by thousands and tens of thous.
ands in every town throughout the
North, and ratify in the most hearty
and impressive manner the stupendous
victories Of the present season. Make
the valleys ring with shouts till the hills
echo back our rejoicings-for surely the
day of Jubilee has come.
