Of hy degrees the abrupt step between the
sublime looking for battle and the ridicu-
lous hunt after an enemy whose very
tracks were co1d-granted all this, why
tell the people in an official dispatch that
Gen. Pope had the enemy all in his eye,
ard had bagged 10000 Of them to begin
with, when the facts were that nothing ever
occurred to warrant any such assertion, and
not elsewhere was this better known than
at headquarters. It is all coming to Light
now, and in no way more surely than by
letters from officers and soldiers which nu-
merously reach us, denying and ridiculiug
the larger share Of what has formed the
burden Of official dispatches from up the
Tennessee since the evacuation. Chagrin
is very natural and proper, but the fate Of
Ananias and Sarp1,ira has set solemn
seal on the crime that miserable couple ex-
1iated.

Republican maj joritE. II 4o3.
We make the fonowing estimate OF the

We estimate the probable result in the
remaining districts as follows: 9th Dist,
1900 majority for it; 9Th do, 5000; 7th
do, 3,8co; sth do, 4,2oo; 9th do, 5000,
Tot:;]. 25,O00 for the Swindle. Perhaps the
9Th District will give more than the num-
lcr assigned to it, but we think not, and
We bave strong doubts whether the 6th
viii 70 above $500. We think the question
isIcst for the soldiers to decide, and if they
are not disfranclised, but ere allowed to
Yotc their sentiments, and their votes are
counted, the 6windle will be defeated.
Woe to the men OF party who undertake to
