Tho News
By the Governo'

The most important feature Of the late
news is the capture of Mobile in Alabama,
and the forts at Galveston and Sabine Pass
in Texas and Georgetown. S. G. No decis-
i've battles have been fought. Fighting on
the Potomac has been confined to skirlnishing
between the advance parties Of the two ar
mics. The most important Of these was be-
tween large force Of our cavalry under Gen.
Pleasanton, and all equal force under the
command of the rebel Gen. Stuart. 1t seems
our troops had the hest Of the fight. Every
indication seems to point to battle between
the main armies-the vicinity Of Richmond
undoubtedly being the choice Of position OF
the rebels; still we cannot sec how they can
ret there without first encountering and de-.
feating the large armies Of Sigel and Burn

chester and Richmond. 1t will BE- remen-
berpd that Winchester, the headquarters Of
the rebel army is on the west side Of the Blue

Our forces seem to hold two Of the most i'm

tween Winchester and the valley of the Rap.
pahapnock. Tho rebel army will first have
to assail the main Union army, as well as the
divisions under Burnside and Sisel before il
can reach Richmond. II the rebels attack
Mcclellan and are beaten. We do not see that
there is anything to prevent Burnside and 81.
gel from marching directly to Richmond along
the line Of the Alexandria and Richmond
Railroad. Our only f:.ar is that the rebels
may b. reinforced by Hragg's command from
Kentucky, or from other parts Of the South
before they can be made to fight, and thus
greatly outnumber Mcclellan. We have
confidence, however. thntwe will possess Rich
mond before January. and that the war will
be essentially at an end.

Tia late Klsctions IN the East,

The Portland Times Of the 18th inst, has
a sensible article on the results of the late
elections in the Eastern States. The Times
explanation Of the causes which have pro-
ducsd the results meet our views Of the mat
ter entirely, aud We regret that it IL not in
our power to q"ote the article entire. We
must, for tho present, b. content with briefly
noticing the conclusions arrived at by that
staunch Union paper, and will probably give
the article in our next. 1t denies that those
who are fighting our battles have mainly been
drawn from the Administration party, and in.
sists that it is not because the people have
lost confidence in the honesty and integrity
Of the President. 1t attributes the result to
the fact, that there is large number Of poll.
ticians in the Eastern States, especially in
New York. who claim to belong to the Ad.
ministrntion party, "who seek to control, rath-
er than to support the President. and failing
in this have arrayed themselves in opposition
to his policy, and that at the same time they
were clamoring for Fremont's advancement,
they were sndsavoring to cry down Gen. Nc.
Clellan." This latter charge every reading
man knows to have been true, and our read.
FRS will bear testimony that the STANDARD
has pcrsistently battled against this influence.
and endeavored to sustain Gen. Mcclellan in
the darkest hour Of bis nisfortunes. No one
rejoiced more heartily than We, when it was
announced that President Lincoln had resist.
I'd all of their Vaccinations, and retained Gen.
cClellan in the command Of our army on
the Potomac. We fully agree with the Times.
that it was natural that portion Of the old
Republican party should support the Presi.
dent and his tavorite General, by voting for
their friends. in preference to voting for those
who were embarrassing the progress Of tho
war. by finding fault with tho manner in
which it was being conducted. Our cotcm.
porary thinks that it cannot to any coisidera.
bic extent. b. regarded as an Administration
defeat. but thinks the President viii have
more hackers in the next Congress tlan he
would have had. had the radicals carried the
day, and that it will prove good lesson to
those who would place in jeopardy the well
fare Of the country for the advancement Of in
dividuals, or the carrying out Of their particu.
lar party crceds. We have no fear that there
will not be good working majority in tho
new Congress that will stand by the Presi-
dent in carrying out his war policy. as it is
now understood by the people. and this is all
we desire. W. have no sympathy for any
party or creed that does not have for its oh.
ject the crushing out of this wicked and infa-
nous rebellion. and tho saving of tho Union
as our EorfatAers desired to hare IL.
