Abolition Stntcsmamship.

When we consider the miserable states
manship Of tho Lincoln administration
we need not be surprised at its complete
failure The first and fatal mistake the
Abolition leaders made was the undera-
ting of the strength, endurance and re-
sources of the Southern people. If they
would have had anything like an ade-
quate conception Of tho task Of subjuga
ting them, they would, as the Demo
cratic party advised them to do, first of
all have done everything to peaceably
adjust tho difficulties, before they ven
tured upon such difficult and doubtful
experiment as civil war. Let us SEQ for
a moment how easily they expected to
subdue the South. In the fall OF 1860,
Horace Greely said, if the Southern peo-
pie would revolt at the election OF Lin
coin, we would put twenty thousand sol
diers on board of vessels of war, and
send them down there to keep them in
"perpetuaI check" William ii. Seward,
his chief Cabinet minister, and other
notabes of the party, said the war would
be over, in 60 or 80 days. Another pink
of consistency nearer home--the '6loody'
! Gcneral-declared G in sensation voice,
"a cow and twelve old women would
thrash them" Others said it would be
mere breakfast job. When the rebel
lion commenced, Lincoln called out 70,
600 volunteers for three months, think
ing they would conquer a peace. Short
" after he issued call for 500. 900 vol
unteers for three years or during the
war. Under this call. according to Elk
Secretary of War Cameron's report
66O 900 volunteers were attained, anc
volunteering was stopped by an orde
from the War Department, assigning as
reason, that they had more volunteers
than were required to crush the rebellion
One year after that, to-wit, in the sum
mer of 1862, Lincoln issued another cal
for SOC, 900 volunteers and 300, 900 draf
ted men. In less than year from tha
time, in July, 1868, he issued another
call for 100000 drafted men for three
years or during the War. Three months
after that, on the 18th day of October
1868, he issued another call for 300, ,0O'
volunteers or drafted men, as the peo
pie may choose, for three years or dur
ing the war. This makes grand tota
of l ,936, 900 men to finish, this "6reah
fast lob" And this is not the end yet
Other drafts will be made if peace is no
conquered. and the past mismanagemen
continues. These facts and figures plsc

Maryland Election.

The New York Tribune, in spe aking Of the
Maryland election, the other day, said "The
successful candidates have taken tho solemn
pledge to support the policy Of the Presi-
deaf, including his Emancipation Proclama
ton" This is more than Louis Napoleon
requires of candidates before permitting them
to offer themselves for the suffrages of the
people He has never yet interfered in cleo
tions with anything like the show of military
force displayed in Maryland.

Rc-Enlistmcntst to be EncOurug-
ed.

The Washington correspondent Of the
st. Louis Republican writes:
cat the time Of the next payment to
three years troops, measures will be taken
to ascertain how many of the Same will
re-enlist at the expiration of their terms
of service. All who agree to re enlist
will be paid their bounties early next
spring. and be allowed to go home on
short furloughs. Those who refuse to
re,enlist will get no bountes until the
war is over. if then. This plan is ex-
pectod to keep many veterans in the ar
mics, but If its success is to be prejudged
by the present feeling in the Army of the
