TIE ELECTIONS IN THE NOE TIL.

TIR ELECTIONS IN TIE NORTH
The Richmond Dispatch. Of November
l0ui, in an article commenting on the
elections in the North, says
They (the Democrats) believe restora-
ton still impossible. In this respect
they do not manifest their usual sagacity
They have the incredible folly to believe
flat there ttiii turks among the body Of
that people who have fought against the
Union as men never fought before, Sc
cret attachment to 'the old fla !, which
ls the most detestod of all earthly sym
bo!s to the whole body Of the Southern
people. They do not reflect that while,
TO them, the condition which it is intend
ed to represent has been productive of
unalloyed blessings, it is associated in
the Southern mind with images OF COM
mercial poverty and sectional oppression.
To this imagined feeling Of latent loyalty
10 the Union they are willing to appeal.
They have no doubt that they viii be
successful. But first they must beat us
into the humor for submission They
must make US know their strength
They must teach US that they are our
masters. They must kill hundred or
two thousand of our men. They must
take Richmond. They must crush the
rebellion. And then they will offer us
terms, having first asserted tie suprema.
cy of the "American eagle" as they are
facetiously wont to term the Yankee buzz
yard. They care, and pretend TO care,
nothing for the niger. They will BE-.
willing, after having conquered US, to
agree upon any terms, provided the
Union be restored. They will consent
to introduce slavery into every State in
the Union, provided this grand object be
attained. Ii the Southern people will
not agree to all this, as most assuredly
they never will. then they are for carry
ing on the war to anextremity that would
satisfy the most ultra Of the Abolition
party. They will never consent-let
John Van Buren, say what he may--to
let the "wayward sisters depart in peace.
1t may be that Democratic Congress
might propose to the Southern States, as
a condition OF re-entering the Union, to
legalize slavery everywhere, and this be-
fore proceeding further with the war
But even were the South disposed, under
! any circumstances, to re-enter such Il
state of bondage, it must DO borne in
mind that the present Abolition Congress
has still one year 10 run. In that time
some of the most desperate battles the
world ever heard Of will have been fought,
and the Yankees will already have CON
qunred Us or have been expelled from our

and he does not believe that the rebels

Der over 10000 men. Gen. Grant and
Gen. Sherman are holding conference

Cairo flying visit last night. The con-
ference evidently has reference to future
movements.
A letter from Abbeyville to the Mobile
Ae,es says Holly Springs was evacuated
by consent of all the rebel Generals.
They did not consider it teuable point.
AT Abbeyville they are preparing winter

bic that tho fedcrals will attack them
there. This correspondent aftrms that

An account of Signor Pierotti's discover
les in the subteranean topography Of Jer-
usalem has been published. Employed by
the Hasha as an engineer, he has discovered
that the modern city of jerusalem stands
on several layers of ruined masonry, the
uudermost Of which, composed of deeply
bevelcd and enormous stones, he attributes
TO the age Of Solomon, the next to that Of
lZerobabel, the next to that Of Herod, the
next to that of Justinian, and SO on till tho
times of tho Saracens and Crusaders. He
has traced series Of conduits and sewers
leading from "the dome Of the rock" a
mosque standing on the very site Of the al
tar Of sacrifice in the temple Of the Valley
of Jehosaphat, by means of which the priests
were enabled to flush the whole temple
area with water, and thus to carry off the
blood and offal Of the sacrifices to the brook
OF Kedron. The manner Of his explorations
was very interesting. He got an Arab tC
walk up through these immense sewers
ringing a bell and blowing trumpet, while
he himself, by following the sound, was
able to follow the exact course they took
About two years ago be acciden,ly discov
covered a fountain at the pool of Bethesda
and on his opening it, a copious stream o.
water Immediately began to flow, and has
flowed ever since. No one knows from
whence it comes or whittier it goes. This
caused the greatest excitement among the
Jews, who fiocked in crowds to drink and
bathe themselves in it, They fancied il
was one of the signs of Messiah's coming,
and portended the speedy restoration of
their commonwealth. This fountain, which
has peculiar taste like that of milk and
water, is identified by Signor Pierotti with
the fountain which Hezekiah built, and
which is described by Josephus. The meas
urement and position of most Of these re-
mains accord exactly with the Jewish his
toriau's descriptions. Some Of tho Signos's
conclusions are disputed, but no one has
succeeded in so disinterring the relics Of
the Holy City.
