The Defeat of Rosecrns Explained.

We give additional particulars In to-
days Pilot OF the battles which took place
in Northern Georgia on the 18th and Goth
of last month. The Milwaukee Ne,os
gives some good reasons for the causes of
tie defeat of Gen. RosscRASs, which we
annex.
No man can reflect upon the circum-
stances connected with the defeat 0: Ro-
secrans without coming inevitably to the
conclusion that this reverse was intended
at Washington, or that it was caused bv
the criminal stupidity of the managers
there. According to the account we pub
lish to-day the enemy was permitted de-
llberately to concentrate the whole force
of the confederacy against Roseceans who
was left to his fate without any attempt
whatever to protect him. The admins.
tration was either utterly ignorant of the
rebel strength or criminaly Indifferent to
the result. 1t is more accident than 9th
erwise that our army was not annihiated
According to the dispatches sent on from
Washington the past week, the total rou,
of Rosecrans had been actually anticipated
in Richmond, and the whole rebel gov
ernment is declared to be in grief that its
reasonable expectations have been disap-
pointed Yet Burnside never was started
OF his way to Chattanooga until after the
battle, anl it il still matter of specula
ton whether he ever gets there.
"But there l, still more disacreeable
feature Of this affair. Rosecrans never
would favc been beaten in Georgia had
not Lee been enabled to send reinforce.
ments to Bragg; and that fatal fact never
would have occurred hsd not the a,lmn-
istra!ion taken 10000 troops from Meade
and sent them into the loyal state of New
ork. No sooner had these forty thou
sand men started north than Lee sent into
northern Georgia sufficient Lumber Of
his men to whip Rosecrans. Had the ad>
mini>:ralion been half as intent upon
crushing the rebels as it is intent upon
crushing corperheads" a, The north the
western troops would never have incurred
this disastrous ard dsgraceful defeat,
and thousands Of lives would have been
saved. This is the sad bnt self evident
truth. "

French Troops on the Rio Grandc.

The prospect of collision with France
becomes every day more imminent -
French troops have occupied Mstetnoras,
so that the Rio Grands now only separates
them from Texas. 1t is even reported that
the rebel leaders, driven to desperation by
their reverses and the course the war has
taken. have made overiures to Napoleon
for An alliance, on the basis of ceiing all
the old French and Mexican territory TO
his new empire, that is, Texas, Louisi
ana, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and
California. England has become suspic-
iou.ly pacific Of late; but Napoleon
knows how to drag he. into any war he
chooses to engage in.
Private advices from New Orleans rep
resent that considerable feeling exists in
tina. city in regard to the question Of in
tervention, it being known to the French
consul there that the French had occupied
Matamor.s with 4 600 or 5000 men, and
a collision was feared between the French
and federal gunboats at the mouth of the
Rio Grandeur some matter connected
with cotton and confederate stores in that
vicinity. Ex Governor Morehead, OF Ken

To the Democracy Of Manito-
= = woo County.

Tbs rext election for State officers is OF
more vi'sl importance TO the well beng
of the people than any preceding election
which has taken place since Wisconsin
became sovereign, Independent State IN
the Federal Union.
There are but two parties within the
Sta,e-the Democratic party which ;s
pledged TO fight 10 he death all foes to
the Union and Constitution, as given to US
bv and consecrated in the blood Of our
fathers; and the Republican party which
Is pledged TO fight for its own preserva-
tion and perpetuation, irrespective Of the
rights of the people promulgated under
the Magma Charta Of American Liberty.
While the Democracy of the country,
under the lead of the immortal and la
mented DoroLAs, rushed, as with one
mind, one heart, and one soul, to aid in
crushing out rebellion against the gov
eminent, and for that purpose were ready
and offered to contribute their proportion
Of men and means 10 call into the field
and sustain an army Of one million Of
men, they were laughed at by the Repub-
licans as being towards and over-estim a
ting the courage, resources, strength. and
endurance Of the people who had taken
up arms against the government. You
stood by DouGLAs-DoUGLAs stood by
LINCOLN, and was unriring in bis efforts
to infuss some small portion of his own
courage and greatness of ideas into the
mind and soul of the man who stood at
the helm of the government ship.
You all know that your Republican
Senator TIN. O. HOWE, in bis maiden
speech in the Senate, repudiated the ideas
Of Senator DouGLAs, and claimed tha.
L1scoLs was competent to conduct the
government without the advice Of DorG-
LAS or any other outsider, and that Howe
was endorsed and applauded by the Re.
publican press Of the country. You all
know nor, that since Senator DOUGLAS
sayings and predictions in relation to the
rebellion have been verified and become
matters of history which none can dis
pute, the Republicans have canonized him,
and he has become-with JEFFEKscN and
JAcKsoS-one Of their most eminent
saints.

the doctrines Of the Democratic party IS
taught by JEFFERSON, and followed by
