TIE NEXT CoNGRIss.-The Tory press which
deludes it's readers with the idea that it's Dem.
ooratic, is just now busily employed in profound
arithmeticd speculations about the next Con-
gress, and how many of the pretended Demo-
Gratis will be members They make a sorry ct.
position of the matter, however. By dint Of
claiming men as of their class, who would not
touch them with a ten-foot pole; by claiming
others where out and out Republicans are al
ready elected, and others where Republicans
inevitably will be elected, some of them manage
to parade very plausible and satisfactory seem
ing result. The fact is that all the elections
have not yet taken place. Of those already
elected the Republicans have the majority. OF
those yet to be elected, much larger proper
ton are certain to be Republicans. So that We
see not merely no likelihood, but hardly posi-
bility, of their being majority Of the opposi.
ton, putting all sorts together, in the next Con-
gress. The next Congress will be Republican,
as the present is. That is our opinion at pre-
sent, and We do not see any probable reason to
change it.

~ The Chicago Times is mourning over the
atrocities committed by the Union soldiers in
Arkansas, and BY the Army under Gen1 Grant
in its march from Corinth to Grand Junction. Il
says that the "trail Of Grants army is one ol
blood,-the blood Of peaceable and unoffending
inhabitantsl" &C., &c. The editors Of this shee,
never fail to improve every opportunity of de-
nouncing the volunteers who fight for the Union.
But who ever saw in it any condemnation of reb.

were it less partial towards its friends. We dom,
believe any one Of our Generals, and particu-

too much severity. They have been too milk and
vaterish heretofore.

THE HAWK-EYE'


a. In lowe, in Michigan, in Massachusetts,
/. the Republicans have maintained their organi
sation. They made no compromises With the
democracy. They did not set up any claims to
apretended conservatism. They placed them
selves on the true patriotic platform, invited ali
who we're earnest in their devotion to the Union
to unite with them, and went into the political
canvass, With dissemination to support the wal
and the Administration. Their success in these
States has demonstrated the, wisdom Of thei,
policy. While in each Of them, q great number
Of earnest Union nen have voted for the opposi
tion ticket, in all Of them, the undoubted and
incorporating Republican Union candidates
have been elected. 30
In other States, q different policy prevailed
The Republicans ignored their organization, and
sought to ignore the existence Of any party. Thi.
was right enough abstractly. The difficulty va.
that the leaders of the Democracy, sympathiz
ing with treason, would not do likewise. They
saw their opportunity and availed themselves Of
it They would not ignore their party, and II
was quite an easy matter to pretend to be si
earnest patriots and as decidedly in favor Of put
ting down the rebellion as their opponents. The
result shows that Republicans were to gfea,
extent the victims of misplaced confidence. Had
they pursued the policy which prevailed in Iowa
We have no doubt that they would have avertet
some, at least, Of the untoward results We nov
witness.
Notwithstanding the immense preponderanc,
Of Republican volunteers, We are satisfied tha
We should have been able to carry every Con
kreseional district in which We succeeded in $50
If it had not been attempted to coalesce Will
the democracy. The leaders of that party are
corrupt and have always been go. At this juno
ture they add to their past infamy that of trea
son to their country. There could be no Union,
no compromise, no trust reposed With such men.
The attempt was sort Of confession of their re.
spectability, enabled them to control their own
partissns, and destroyed our ability to cope with
them. It is % we'll to look at this matter and
understand it. If We have deceived ourselves
once, let 10 profit BY the lesson, and avoid the
Same disaster in the future.

A CoxrRAsr.-St Louis, q great city in Z
slave State, sends avowed emancipatonists tc
Congress. New York, . greater city in . J,eI
etate, sends such men az Fernando and Beu
Wood, as it's representatives. The men who
live under the immediate influence Of the "pecu
liar institution" disavow and repudiate it. A
city whose interests are all on tie side of free
dom,-which if the policy Of its representatives
should prevail. will speedily sink into bankruptcy
and ruin, and probably ere long become de-
serted and forgotten thing Of the past, places
itself BY the side Of Southern barbarians in its

n The Davenport News feels very badly
over the fact that some of the citizens Of that
place thought proper to show their appreciation
of the removal of Mcclellan by firing cannon.
1t dsvotes half column of hysterical nonsense
to its wratchful account Of the outrage! Most
people will consider it's editors something much
worse than fools. If it is qualification to any
to consume gunpowder and make noise over
events which please them, we think no recent
occurrence SO well justifes such indulgence as
the one which e1cites the ire of the News
The removal Of Mcclellan is not merely right
His record proves conclusively to all men who
wish well to the country that he was neyer fit 70,
any responsible position in the field. Should i.
not be matter Of rejoicing to all patriotic
men that proven imbecils is removed from sc
important post? If it is not, in Heavens

and for the zeal and energy he manifested in hie
Independent campaign in North Carolina, we
shall forbear either praising or censuring him in
advance. If he does what we have reason tc
expect of him, we shall be gratifed, and are moi
likely to withhold an expression of our graft
hcation. If he proves wanting in those quail
ties which his pre- sent position demands, weshaI
be as little pleased with him as we have
been with his predecessor, and shall not hesitate
to say so. His duties now are doubtless of much
greater responsibility than those of his former

may prove equal to them,-not merely equal to
them, but tha: he will show himself competent
for even more arduous duties, if such can be
conceived. But We are done with prophecies
concerning our Generals. Their actions must
earn our concentrations hereafter. These will
speak for themselves. These will be unquestion'
able evidences Of worth, as . failure to act
earnestly, actively and efficiently, will be indis
putably proof of its absence. Gen. Burnside's
actions must speak for him. He cannot more
sincerely desire that they should be trumpet
tongued in his behalf than We do.

from Gen. Van Dorm, dated Headquar-
ters, near Corinth, Miss, Oct. Sd, ?. NJ,
says, 1--WE have driven the enemy from
every position. We are within three
quarters of mile of Corinih. The en-
envy is huddled together about town,
on the extreme length, trying to hold
the position.
So far all is glorious and our men be-
haved nobly. Our loss, l am afraid is
heavy. It is nearly night. LOvelPs and
Prices troops have our thanks"
A courier arrived to-day who says on
the 4th our troops drove the enemy from
and occupied their entertainments, but
were aflerward forced to fall back from
town.
Heavy cannonading was heard yester-
day from points above here. The fight
must have been most bloody. A courier
is hourly expected from the scene Of the
conflict
Gen. Ed Price, an exchanged prisoner
son of Gen. Sterling Price, arrived to-
day from Memphis. On the LIST, he re-
ports the enemy about 10000 strong
with seventy pieces of artillery, strongly

Dorm with overwhelming forces, forcinI
us to relinquish our position and retreat
The fight continued almost uninterrupt
edly during Friday, Saturday, ant
Sunday.
The slaughter on both sides is dc
scribed as unparalleled.
One of our Generals writes that Mau
