Charleston and Admiral Dupont.
Ed. r. KERsTEr.ER,
Capt. and A. A. G..

We have never hal ulster illustration
of the way in which some over zeal Gus
men jump at conclusion without reason
able premises, than is afforded by the tone
of some portions of the press concerning
the recent attack on Charleston. Without
knowing what was intended, and who is
responsible for the attack; in partial igno-
rance even Of what was achieved, relatively
considered, some denounce the Admiral in
command as incapable or disloyal, while
others pitch hot shot into General Hunter
for not co. operating in the attack with his
land forces. We could have wished the
result to be different; we are inclined to
think. as we have already said, that the
disparity of guns. as between tn, feet and
forts, was too great; and have even gone
SD far as to regret that the attack was
made. if it was to fail But, after all, the
damage done was comparatively small; the
reconnaissance. considered as such, was
the most valuable and effective possible.
and there are better grounds upon which
to base new attack. or to withhold it,
than there could have been in any other
way. OF Admiral Dupont there is bnt
one thing to be said, and that is that he
stands before the country the beau idea
of a naval commander. In every event oil
his life he has proved himself a, able sail
or, true patriot. and an honor lie gentle.
man. His success at Port Royal was the
result of GOODNESS. forecast and splendid
aulacity; and we feel sure that if Charles

means, and he Is the man to take it.

BY this time, the fate of the Union and Gov

The result in these States will have . mighty
influence for or against the war now being waged

their idol. Slavery. and every species Of bubbles
will be resorted to by them to prolong its exist
ence, to the detr1ment of the Government. In
directly, these elections will have considerable
weight. by the influence on the other State elec-
tions which they will bear.
Previous to the election, the prospects were
bright that the Union ticket in both States
would be elected by handsome majorities. In
Pennsylvania. large army Of nine months men
were raised. who lost their votes last fall. for
which reason the Copperheads carried the State
by three or four thousand majority. But those
nine months men are now at home, while the
draft. which was made previous to the election
and subsequent to their return home. will affect
the result but little, as the antiwar proclivities
Of the Copperheads could not save them. A
member of the Union State Committee in Penn
sylvania asserted that every indication was that
Curtin would get majority of from twenty live
thousand to fifty thousand. while that anticiPa-
ted for Brough. in Ohio. was much larger.
We hope next week to record victories for the
Union in these States We agree with one OF the
speakers in the Pennsylvanis canvass that the
loss of the election to the Union candidates in
that State would be more disastrous than Q
defeat on the battle field. Andrew G. Curtin has
proven himself one of the noblest men of the
Nation. and has been . power within himself
