Chattanooga, and can be navigated by
steamers without interruption by the
enemy. This fact at once secures the
relief Of our army, which has been for
some time on short rations. To fully
appreciate the importance Of this vic
tory, even if it secured nothing further
than the opening Of the river and the
railroad, it is necessary toremember the
difficulty of reaching Chattanooga by
the mountain roads, which we're the on
ly ones that could be safely travelled, and
the condition of these was such as to
make them almost impossible. When
Gen. Rosecrans returned from Chatta.
nooga, it took him two days to make
the trip to Stevenson. Mules and bor'
ses would sink almost out of sight in the
quagmires, and the dead carcasses oI
these animals were thickly scattered
along the road. The difficulty of sup
plying large army over such roads,
and under such circumstances, may
readily be imagined.

The Vote Given for Democratic
and Republican Governors for
the Last Ten YeRrs.s-GlK0ntic
Frauds PerPetrnted. p.
Those who think the vote for VaIlan.
digham indicates any diminution of
strength in the Democratic organization,
will be somewhat surprised to peruse the
following table Of votes given for Dsmo.
cratic Governors in Ohio for the last ten
years: 4! .t.tt'. f.t5 Z
Gov Medill, 1858, $4,000
Gev. Medill, 1855, $4,000
Henry B. Payne, 1851, $4,000
Pufus P. Ranney, 1859, 17LOOO
Hugh j. Jewett, 1851, 100000
@ l.. Yallandigham, 1863, $4,000
Now take the vote of the years when
there was no Governor elected:
Dem. vote, 1854, 100000
Dem vote, 1856, .. l7l,OO0
Dem. vote, 1858, 1862 600
Dem. vote, Douglas and
Breckenridge, 1860, l93 900
Dem. vote, 1862, 1877 O00
1t will be seen that Mr.. Vallandigham
has received a larger Democratic vote
than was ever cast for a Democratic
Governor before-largsr by sirtecn
thousand! lie received as many votes
as Stephen A. Douglas got, With all his
popularity, and with the excitement of a
Presidential election to aid him in 1860,
and with the soldiers vote, then at home,
many thousands of which were thrown
for Douglas in that canvass. Now, let
us compare Mr.. Vallandigham's vote
with the Republican Governors who
have been elected:
Chase, 1855, ..... l46,OOO
Chase, 1857, 100000
Dennison,, 1859, 1856, 900
The total vote cast for Governor in
1861, when Tod was elected, was 1885,
900. A majority of that would be l76,-
900. Vallandigham has about 5000
more votes than would been required to
elect him Governor two years ago on the
total vote then polled
There has been no Governors election,
therefore, in Ohio, since it was State
when vote equal to Vallandigham's
would not have been largely more than
half. Save Tod and Brough, no man
ever got as many votes for Governor in
Ohio as Mr.. Vallandigham. We are
satisfied that when Mr.. Dennisou was
elected Governor in 1859, inst before the
Presidential election, there were more
votes in this State than there are now
with the army vote out. How happens
it, then, that Mr.. Dennison could be
elected Governor, with the soldier at
home, in 1859, with ls3, 900 votes, when
Mr. Valandigham is beaten with co.
600 soldiers votes out, by $1,000 ma.
jority, when he received several thousand
more votes than Dennison? E
We are satisfied, from review Of the
facts, that the most gigantic frauds were
perpetrated at the late election-frauds
to the extent Of tens of thousands of
votes. There is nothing discouraging
whatever in the result of the late elec-
tion for the Democratic party, unless the
frauds perpetrated this year can be re.
newed year after year,-Cin. Eng.

SPEECH OF GEN. BUTLER.

oEEESh N1 N6A' OSAA1As'
The State League of Massachusetts,
has elected Gen. B. F. Butler, Of Lo.
we'll, and Mr.. Clafin, Of Newton, dele.
gates at large to the National Union
League, which meets at Washington in
December. Delegates from each Con-
gressionsl district were also chosen.
Gen. Butler addressed the meeting at
length, taking ground with those who
believed that the seeded States have an
initiated themselves as States while the
power of the general government still
remains intact over their territory. He
opposed the position Of a member Of the
Cabinet, that the rebel commonwealth,
by throwing down their arms, should be
received into the Union with unimpair.
ed rights, with their oldlocal institutions.
His reasons for debating terms before al
lowing the incorporation into the Union
ofthese heretofore hostile sections, sprang
from considerations vitality affecting the
interests and safety Of the nation. Ifthe
Confederate States are re.admitted, and
their representatives take their seats in
Congress before some radical change is
effected, what guarantee is there that
the federal national debt will not be re-.
pudiated or made to stand upon the al
Tentative that the Confederate debt must
likewise be paid2 Let this question
come BEFORE Congress, and all the ap.
pliances Of corruption would be set in
motion to secure such o decision as
would place the federal and rebel in.
debtedness upon the same footing
General Butler contended that the rebel
States must be regarded as destroyed, OIL
1t would be almost impossible to choose
another President for the reason thai
no candidate likely to be selected would
receive such support in the North as
to give him majority of the whole
Electoral College, constituted Of all the
States, both loyal and rebel. Transfer
the question to the House of Represen.
tatiVes, where each commonwealth casts
only one vote, and q majority of such
votes is required, and the difficulty will
be greatly increased. The policy Of
safety and justice was to restore the
Union in the South only as fast as the
principles of freedom and loyalty are ex.
landed over the now rebel domain.
He had scarcely uttered these senti.
ments against the restoration Of the
Union as it was, when we 6nd him as.
signed to new command in the army,
by the powers that be, thus endorsing
his Jacobin project.
The eblood Of slaughtered soldiers, who
died for the old Union, will ooze out o
the earth in indignation at such perfdy
and their shriveled and boDy fingers vii
protude from an hundred battlefelds OF
Southern soil, in ghastly protestatiol
against this killing Of the Union Of thei
fathers.
