AT THE NORTH they are beginning to agtate for
the Presidential election, which is TO come of in the
Fall of next year.
The issues of that election will be all based upon
questions connected with tie war, and will finally
solve themselves into the alternatives Of peace
All other matters will sink into comparative insignif-
canoe. The question appears to be mainly how the
war is to be carried on, and by whom. Before the
time to which We have alluded above shall have arrived
the affair will have essentially changed, and it will not
be asked how the war is to be carried on by whom
but whether it is to be carried on at all.
The New York Herald says -" The plat
form of the Democracy in the Presidential cam
paign Of 1864 will be peace, and what more, the can
1idate will be elected no matter who he is tie prnc
pie controlling all other considerations. The Herald
we think is right The issue will be made, and the
friends of peace even the cost Of separation, will car
~ the elections at the North. Bat this will be some
time yet and in the meantime the folly OF LINCOLN and
and bis party will almost certainly invoke the slaughter
of thousands Of men aud millions of treasure.

than usually cheering 1t is evident that GRANT has
staked his whole fortune upon the present movement
against Vicksbug and that he is in great danger OF
losing the large stake he has rsked. He has certainly
lost large number of men, larger perhaps than any
General mas yet lost in the time, since the war
commenced
The reported capture Of MilIiken's Bend by KIRBY

pace little confidence in it. 1t is too good to be true,
especially as it almost impossible that General
Smith with his army should have reached that point
