But we may hope. It would electrify
our whole people could we hear some OF
these November mornings, and that soon,
that Meade was proving himself the sue
cessful strategest, as he has already proved
a bold and successful fighter, and that
at last he had occupied Richmond. How
that would give Joy to the loyal hearts OF
the North. and fill all men with new in
spiration and energy and vigor! What a
Day we would celebrate in
that event! God grant that it may so turn
out, With the fall Of Richmond the Re-
bellion would be about "played out" We
trust it may come,-but we wait to see
whether the move goes on, or, as others
have, proves fruitless, abortive and a dis
appointment.
va How the Chicago Times is sustain
ed, in part at least, may be inferred from
the fact that the City printing, most OF
which is done by that traitorous estab-
amounts to about twice as much
in seven months as the whole expenditure
for last year! The Copperhead Council

and the public foot the bill! a.
This is but specimen. 1t is only few
days since that bridge was destroyed by
the neglect of a Copperhead tender which
cost $4,000 to build and cannot he replaced
for the money. This is sort of economy
Butternuts practice. tits no doubt delight
full to them however Outrageous the tax
payers may think it !!
~ People.are complaining of the enor-
nous prices of living at Washington. Beef
steaks are quoted there at IS cents a pound,
other fresh provisions at proportionate pri-
ces, and rents and furnished rooms at rates
as high or higher. We don't know but it
is good thing, after all. 1t will keep
away thousands who would 60 there and
waste their money and time if exorbitant
prices did not effectually warn them to
stay at home. There will be enough of the
anxious "waiters on Providence who will
90 anyhow. Butcher thousands will stay
at home and mind their business as they
ought. That will be one good result
For our part, we only regret high prices on
account of the actual residents. 1t must
be hard on them. AS for others, if they
don't like the prices, let them stay away.
~ According to the Fort Dodge Repub-
lieau, the State Senatorial District in which
that place is situated, consists of twenty
eight counties. At the canvass of the votes
for the District, recently, only eighteen of
these counties were represented. Of these
Monona and Buena Vista reported seven
votes each, Ida nine, Clay twelve, and only
four of the others severally over one hun
dred. The whole vote of the eighteen
counties for Senator was 1,646. There must
certainly be abundance of room in that re-
gion for more inhabitants. But those who
reside there now are generally on the right
side. They gave the Union candidate 322
majority.
- The Davenport Gazette, says there
are 1900 men in Camp at that place for the
Ninth Cavalry, and more to come! We
take it that that regiment is full. It would
seem that some volunteering is done in
Iowa. More of it might be done, should
be done, and will be done, we doubt not,
when all the people put their shoulders to
the wheel with the purpose to keep in out
of the January Draft. There is no time to
spare, however. Prompt action will make
it abundant for the end. But delays are
dangerous in this as in other public efforts.
Gg~ The vote in 80 towns of Massachu-
setts-nearly all-was, for Gov. Andrew
6e, 357; for Henry w. Paine, 27,9Ol, giving
Andrew majority of ii 1855, about two
and a half to one. Last year the ma
jority of Gov. Andrew was 27,24s. That is
specimen of pestilent abolition" work.
II is not very wonderful, after all, that the
Butternuts hate the yankees" Those
who initiate the example and conduct of
the original Rebel, very naturally abhor
those who, like Abdiel, are always faithful
and loyal. Not is not strange at all. :
Va At the late election in Massachusetts
every city in the State gave a majority for
Andrew. Marlboro gave him 43O votes,
and his opponent, Paine, none. Holleston
gave Andrew 1876, Paine, none. Groton
gave Andrew 252, Paine, one. Federal
bayonets, we suppose, must be responsible
for such voting as this! "Bayonets and
Greenbacks,' say the Butternuts, have
controlled the whole matter! They don't
tell US, however, whether they are afraid of
the Bayonets, or are bought up by the
Greenbacks! According to their own
story, if it were true, they are either cow
ards who fear to vote as they think or else
make a business Of selling their votes y
They pay high compliment to their own
friends, don't they? But they are enraged
because they could neither buy nor fright
en- the people.
Vs. There is german paper publishe
at Milwaukee called the See Bote. Strange
to say it is also virulent Butternut ma
chine. After the late election its writings
were "awful." 1t declared that all was
"lost." 1t thinks the Copperhead defeat a
"Water1oo.' 1t confesses to an utter rout
"a death blow, from which there is no pos.
sible resurrection. The Sec-Bote is right
