What The Election. Decided.

on the night of the election, in which he
announced as follows what the Abolition

Before the election came of, the Abo-
Gtiouists insisted that the contest was
simply one Of " loyalty against disIoyaltv."
in which every citizen, no matter what
his peculiar opinions were, in relation to
other questions, was cordially invited TO
participate. But now, that a sufficient
number Of Democrats were fooled into
the e Union trap, to carry the e. ction
for the Abolitionists, we are informed
auihori:atiyely by the Presidents dog.

Infamous measures on the Administration.

The New York Herald, some weeks ago,
ridiculed Horace Greedy merely because
he said in his letter to the President that
100000 African soldiers were waiting
permission to fight against the rebels
Greedy now refers the Herald to the letter
of it's own correspondent at Port Hudson,
as evidence that the 900 900 are coming.
He says:
This Herald man says that "the flower
Of tho British army" at the celebrated
storming of Ciudad Rodrigo, "never
moved with frmer step or more solid
column" than did this second division of
Gen. Banks's army TO the assault on Port
Hudson, with a negro regiment at the
post of honor .r.. ..
Nobly done, Second Regiment of Lou
isian Native Guard though you failed
to carry the rebel works against over
whelming numbers, you did not charge
and fight and fall in vain That heap of
six hundred oorpses, lying there dark
aud grim and silent before and within
the rebel works, is a better Proclamation
of freedom than even President Lincoln's.
Thus passes one regiment of blacks to
death and everlasting fame but hun
dred more are this day mastering to re-
place it. These will be in the field by
September, and twice as many forming
behind them. Forward

20 2rilrae Correspondent, "a. NJ;
sIR-You state in your sketch Of "the
stirring events" in and about Franklin,
that "Gen, Forrest with his rebel troops
held the village of Franklin during a
portion of the 4th inst. While there, they
stole large quantity of dry goods,
whether with or without the connivauce
of the owner, is = matter of variable
opinion"
Now, sir, was joint owner in the great
er part of the 'dry goods" taken by that
lltoless band on that occasion, and know
that your insinuation of cOnnivance is
unjust, SO far as / am concerned, You
will, therefore, please furnish the public
with any evidence that you may have of
the "conniyance of the owner" or owners,
Of that atrocious act, or your imputation
must fall.
It is known that the owners of those
dry goods moved them from Franklin
to Nashville in September last, and that
they have incurred heavy expense to keep
them inside Of the Federal lines, and that
then the stock was larger than il is at
present, and that since that, Mr.. Sinclair
my partner in the goods, has been arrest
ed and held as a prisoner by the rebels
on account Of his loyalty to the Union.
Now, sir, do not suppose that you
know or care any thing about us, but we
do care something about our loyalty, and
therefore call on you to show up.
A. w. Moss.

We are beginning 70 be firm believer
in the adage that "all is for the best"
or, that "whatever is, is right Two
years ago we mentally cursed the folly
which disbanded our volunteer cavalry,
but we said nothing. Time soon showed
us that this was cavalry war to re-
markabls degree. While the government
with its vast bodies of troops lay
weather bound and helpless, the rebel
cavalry rode all around our armies, des-
troying our railroads, wagon trains and
supplies. The Wheelers, JacksOns, and
Forests, seemed to control the fortunes
of the war. But Uncle Sam has just
begun to put forth his cavalry strength,
and Grierson, Stoneman, Pleasanton, and
Stanley, are sweeping rebeldom in all
directions. The raid of Stoneman in
Virginia, and that Of Grierson through
Mississippi, have, doubtless, done more
damage than Forrest and Morgan have
done during tho war They have been
terrible blows at the very heart of trea-
son. And we are just commencing to bring
out this magnificent and formidable re-
source Of horsemen into the field. We have
skillful marksmen, and fine horsemen,
horses for them to ride, almost without
number; so many indeed chat force
equal to the whole rebel cavalry might
be deducted from the National cavalry,
aud one would scarcely observe any dim
mutton. We can launch them into rebel
dom by hundreds Of thousands. Federal
horsemen will soon traverse every high
wayin the South. The North, that great
hive of population, has hardly begun to
send out its swarms of men, who will
pour forth until they oyerrun the South
in numbers greater than the leaves Of the
forest the sands of the sea shore, and all
Che stars that glitter in the sky. The
Federal Government has got not only the
loyal States, but England, Scotland, Ire
land, Germany, Switzerland, France, and
other nations to draw upon for recruits,
to cay nothing of our American citizens
of African descent" Wewill want them
on horses, wild bulls, elephants and rhi-
noceroses, and, thus provided, we can
make Richmond "our wash-pot," and
defy the devil himself Our cavalry have
sprung forth just at the time when we
needed them. The rebels have worn out
all their railroad iron, aud now when our
horaemen destroy rail, they cannot re-
place It. Where would Grant be to- day,
had il not been for the superb planning
and glorious execution of his cavalry in
tearing TO atoms the track and bridges on
three Mississippi railroads These tracks
cannot be rebuilt, and the damage done
by their destruction is absolutely meal
culable. aad
We noticed 3 splendid regiment of
lowe cavalry riding through the streets
yesterday, and trust that they may win
trophies and laurels in many brilliant
raid against the enemy.

Meeting of the Edge1eId Union Club
The 10Th IIIinOIsVOIuntee rs.
EDdEF1ELD, June 8, 1863.

nv AuNh NOAuhNeeEHs
EDdETIELD, June 8, 1863.
at a meeting recently held by the
Edgefeld Union Club, the following res
olutiOns expressive of their sentiments
towards the 10th Illinois regiment in
fantry were unanimously adopted:
ResolUed, l. When the minds of the
Union citizens were much troubled in
September last, and it became a aues-
ton of great Importance TO us to know
if the city was to be abandoned or not,
we hailed with pleasure the advent of
the 10th illinois regiment.
Resolved, 2. That their behavior while
among us, has been such as to command
universal praise, alike from friend and
foe. With such friends and soldiers as
has pleased the commanders TO place in
our midst, we feel SAFE They have
proved themselves true under every form
of hardships.
Resolved, g. That we look upon them
as gentlemen and soldiers enlisted in the
great and holy cause of establishing
iIeeuom anu HOeFby once more all over
this continent; perish what will, the
Union must stand.
Resoi0ed, f. That, in as much as they
have been stationed here for the last
nine months, their departure would be
felt alike by the Union people of Edge
field, and the citizens generally; we
therefore hope their stay may be length
ened until the close of this unholy re-
bellion.
b. ResolUed, That we return our sim
cere thanks TO them for the faithful per-
Torrance of their duty, particularly for
the entertainment given TO John Nor
CAMS overwhelming force last year. We
hope tue lesson he learned will be last
ing one, and we have no fears of him in
this neighbOrhoOd as long as the 10th
regiment remains.
ResOlved, g. That to Col CahilI and
his polite and gentlemanly officers, we
return our sincere thanks for the manner
in which they have conducted their bust .
ness as military commanders of this
post, and that the Club offers their hearty
operation, hoping they may go on with
their noble regiment to the utter con-
fusion of treason and traitors.
