The Union men Of this State viii hail the
result with unalloyed satisfaction. It is Just
what they wanted. The DisuuiOnists per Sc
need take no comfort from this; indeed, they
will not They understand it too well. They
have not been deceived. The Richmond pa

announced that the conservatives Of the \ North

and abuse the generals who fight the battles,
and strive 10 divert the war from it legitimate
purpose to accomplish party ends. They hear
now what the millions at home still say, and if
the soldiers were at home to vote, radicalism
would not have had room to lay its pestilent

conducted to restore the vitality of the Cousti

placed in position and opened on the nest of

The War.

But little advance was made by our army
during the past month, although the Army of
the Potomac is now slowly advancing into
Virginia, and re-occupying the ground lost by
Pope. Buel remained inactive after the battle
of Perryville until the rebels made their escape
from Kentucky. and has been superseded by
Rosecrans. Charges have been made against
Bue and court-martal summoned to inves.
tisate them. Am disposed to believe that he
was at fault, in not following up his victory at
Perryville. Rosecrans has advanced to NASH
vile. Ifit be possible for him to advance into
Eastern Tennessee, and destroy the railroad
leading to Richmond, the backbone of the re-
bellion will indeed have been broken, and the
army will have only triumphal march to the
Gulf 1t IS to be hoped that he may be able
to do it, although it would seem to require an
other division for that purpose as his advance
to the point necessary for that design would
enable the rebels to make another raid into
Western Kentucky. The commission of Gen.
Rosecrans, as Major General, has been dated
back to the 2lst of March, 1862 the time
when be ceased to command the Department
of Western Virginia This has been done
partly as a reward Of the gallantry and success
of that officer, and partly to enable him to out
