CAvALRY RArDs.--It seems strange, and yet II
is o remarkable fact, that scarcely any notice II
taken by the people Of thebrilliant movements Of
our own cavalry; whereas, If Stuart or Fitz Hugh
Lee should dash upon our outposts or around
our camps, an outcry is made against our gene
rails, and the rebels praised up by both aboli-
tionists and secessionists When Stuart made
his raid upon Chambersburg tho people could
talk Of nothing else for . week; but the move
ments of our General Pleasanton's cavalry arc
scarcely spoken Of by them. Again, the dash Of
our cavalry into Halltown, Fairfax Court
House. Frederick, upon the rebels at Williams
burg and many other places into the very
midst Of the rebels scarcely sxcites any CON-
msnt; while the two, and only two, raids Of
Stnart's cavalry are everlastingly thrown up ~

A PRosPEcr OF THE DEFEAT or WADE AND
SuMNER.-There seems now fine prospect that
both Wade and Sumner will be defeated in their
endcavors to be reelected to the Congress which
they have disgraced. Ohio has gone decidedly
democratic in the recent election, and 1t is to
be hoped that the Legislature Is 80 strongly
democratic a. to make the defeat of Senator
Wade certainty. In Massachusetts, the peoples s
party are much moro powerful than was anti
cipated, and will give the supporters of Sum-
ner avery close contest, and probably defeat
them triumphantly BY the interference Of
these Senators with the conduct Of the war, by
their avowed hatred to the constitution, and by
their expressed repugnance to any restoration
Of the Union which does not involve the de-.
stuction and perhaps determination Of the
South, they have fairly earned for themselves
that overwhelming popular rebuks which we
trust they will receive through the representa-
tives Of the people in the Legislatures Of their
respective States.

THE REBEL SEApoRrs SHOULD BE TAKEN Pos
SESSION OF AND BLoCKADERs Turned INTO CRUl
sERs.-The depredations of the pirate steamer
Alabama will bring before the government the
necessity OF at once taking possession of the
seaports still in possession Of the rebels that
the large number of our ships now employed
blockading may be withdrawn to look after
and capture the marauder. In a very
little while 1t will require the service Of
every available ship we have to clear the
North Atlantic Of the Alabama and other
steamers Of like character that are now building
in England. Hence tho necessity that Charles
ton, Savannah and Mobile should be occupied,
and our cruisers free from their present duty in
time to cure the evil before il becomes Of toe
great magnitude.

The Incipient Revolution In the October
Elections.

The elections which have just taken place are
different in their complexion from any that
have ever preceded them. They are the be.
ginning of the end-the commencement Of q
great revolution. They are fatal blow to the
radicals. and their organs stagger and reel un-
der its force. But the secessonsts can find in
them no lattering unction to lay to their souls.
While Grow Is defeated in Pennsylvania for his
ultra radicalisn, yallandigham 10 defeated in
Ohio for bis sympathies with the rebellion.
These elections mark the uprising Of the people
against the extreme factions which have brought
the country to its present condition-the aboli-
tisnists ut the North and the secessionists at
the South, with all who give them aid and
comfort in the loyal States. II is the develop
ment OF the conservatism Of the nation, direct
ed equally against all destructives. 1t is the
evidence Of great reaction begun in the pub
lie mnd-a reaction against organic revolu-
tion come from what quarter II may. :
The people will not tolerate the plea that,
because the Southern rebels have done wrong,
| Northern Jacobins ought to be permitted to do
wrong also. Two wrongs cannot make one
right The result Of the election contests shows
that the people are in favor Of vigorous prose
cution OF the war in the field but against mix
| ing it up with other questions which are only
| in order when the rebellion lie crushed and the
war is terminated. II house is on FIRE, the
proper course is first to subdue the flames, and

THE ARMY WAITING FOR SHoEs-The Times
announced yesterday that the late inactivity Of
the Army of the Potomac was owing to the fact
that it was waiting for shoes for the soldiers.
This lack of supply of shoes is no doubt part
of the game of the radical Jacobins, who arc
doing oil that lies within their power to delay
operations Of the army until the lst Of Janu-
ary. They have been playing at this game
throughout the war. Wilson, Fessenden & Com
pany seriously interfered with the prosecution Of
the war by stopping enlistments and then ham
pering Mcclellan In every way possible. These
radical conspirators and their associates have
been playing into the hands of the secessionists
throughout the war, not only by stopping en-.
listments, but by denouncing our generals and
working for their removal; and now 1t seems
that shoes for the soldiers have been withheld.
What device will they resort to next!

SAUCE FOR THE GoosE SAUCE FOR THE GAM
pER.-when we suggested that Horatio sey.
mour should perform an act Of patriotism, by
retiring from the present contest, the Tribune
and Times went into ecstscies over the recon-
menda,ion. They evidently did not UNDER
stand what was coming, and caught at the bait
with the svidity Of hungry perch. But when. in
turn we advised the withdrawal Of Wadsworth
TO make way for General Dix--a man on whom
all the friends Of the Union and the supporters
OF the administration could unite-they did not
manifest quite so much pleasure. Now, what

FRIGHT OF THE BLOODY MNDED RADIcAIs-
The radical leaders and their organs are panic
stricken by the election returns, which are the
silent and mysterious handwriting ON the wall

smelled battle" The Washington correspondent
OF the Times desrous to turn the defeat against
the President. under the cloak of hitting at the
administration, says:-"The news from the late
elections has caused 4 feeling of disappoint.nsns
and dependency among the friends o. the ad
ministration; but the results arc regarded by
many ss rebuke of the hesitation and timidty
Of the government, and as an admonition that the
sword must ut once be drawn in earnest and the
scahhard thrown away" The elections are not
pro,atnc;onaientos against the President who.
though terribly in earnest for the war, desires
to save the South and its institutions, not 70
destroy. But they are against the sangulnary
radicals, who will be satisfied with nothing but
the determination of the white race of the South
unless they can reduce 1t to the same politics.

radicals are making arisorts of silly excuses for

Senator Wilson rushes to Harpsr's Ferry aad

T4IE RADICAL CoNGREssMEN DsYEArED-Tns
election returns from the State ofPennsy lvania
show that some of the most bitter radical mem.
bers of the present Congress have been let ~
home. Thus Chester county, tired of Hick-
mans assaults on Mrs. Lincoln, refused him the
nomination, and have sent a more conservative
man in his place. Speaker Grow, one of the
extremists. has been defeated by Mr.. Denisoa,
war democrat. In Ohio. Bingham and G,iriey,
representatives Of the radical school, have beea
badly beaten. The citizens Of those districts
have emphatically declared that they have haA
enough of radical doctrines. The defeat Of
Bingham is especially severe blow to the
Greeiey-Sumner portion Of the party. He was
the special favoxite Of the Tribune, that journal
never failing TO endorse his rabid speeches. In
Indiana VIM. Mckee Dunn has been defeated,
and when full returns are received no doubt n
will be shown that one or two others of tho
same school have been invited to stay at home.

Movements OF Our Armies East and
Wests

We have had some reports Of late from Ken
tucky Of heavy and decisive battles which re-
quire confirmation: but that Bragg's rebel
amy is using its utmost exertions to escape
soutfwarc, and that Buell. is closing his lines
around him. with every prospect Of cutting him
Off or cutting him up, and reducing niin to
precipitate and disastrous retreat, is certain.
We anticipate at any moment authentic news
Of a great and decisive engagement, or Of
hurried and ignominious flight OF the rebels in
that quarter, equivalent to the complete liberia
tion Of Kentucky, not only from rebel armies,
but from rebel guerillss, to the end of the war.
The projected invasion and rsconquest Of Mis-
souri, by the rebel Generals Hindman and Rains
appear to have been utterly demolished by Gen.
Scho6eld; for since the late chastisement which
he administered to those presumptuous inter-
lopers we have no further reports Of them
within the limits Of Missouri.
Nor do we entertain any apprshensions Of the
safety Of Nashville Considering the draft made
upon the Tennessee rebels by Bragg's army in
Kentucky, and the number drawn of in the op
posite direction to the routed army OF Price and
Van Dorm in Mississippi, it is not probable that
the rebel force reported to be assembled in
front OF Nashville is anything more than a dis
orderly congregation Of impudent but con-
crushing defeat or demoraizing fight Of
Bragg and his army--of which we shall soon
have authentic intellgence-the rebellion will
be substantially put down in the West, from
Missouri and Kentucky southwark to the Gulf
| of Mexico.
TIE advance OF the advanced guard Of Gen.
McClellan's army. from Harper's Ferry to
Charlestown is a movement which signifies an
| impending battle with Gen. Lee or the pursuit
| of his forces up the valley of Virginia. The
continuance of his rear guard at atShepherd.s..ocwn
on the Potomac, is more, perhaps, to watch the
movements Of the maip body Of our army on
the opposite side Of the river, near Sharpsburg
than for the purpose Of risking battle All the
movements Of the rebels, in fact, in the Shenan-
doah valley, and on the eastern side Of the
Blue Ridge, from warrenton to Gordons-
vile, indicate the deliberate arrangements
for . retreat on the part Of Lee over the
ridge p Richmond. lie seems to compre-
hsnd pretty thoroughly the dangers of this
retreat, unless be con first draw our army some
distance up the valley for otherwise McClel-
| Ian might take the shorter route via Harpers
Ferry and Manassas or Fredericksburg and get
| first into Richmond.
But, whatever may be the designs and move
ments Of Lee, IL Is evident that he will soon be
compelled To fight or fall back. He must either
risk the fate OF the rebellion upon battle, with
all the chances against him, or try the expert
ment Of retreat Of over two hundred miles
with our powerful army laundering upon his
rear. While he is manGuvering TO deceive
Mcclellan he will most probably be SO closely
iAvested as TO be compelled to fight We await
the developments Of the game and the impor-
tant issue with the fullest confidence Of the
grandest results.
