FOLLOWING up VICTORY.


The Union men of Ohio gained g sigma
victory on the llth inst. Il was not, however,
the final battle, and to make the victory com
plete and decisive we must adopt the tactics
of The gallant and dasbing Sheridan and = fol-
low it up" The November contest approach
o., and we must be prepared for it. We can,
with proper effort, utterly rout the already dis
eomfled foe To do it we must follow up"
vigorously the late victory. To rest where
we are, and consider our work done, would
lead TO disastrous result. Though defeated
in October, the opposition will make a des-
perate fight in November, and we must meet
them by corresponding effort. Let no Union
necessary. We require all the aid attainsble;
and If every friend of the cause will bestir
himself from now till the election, and especi-
alv on election day, the evening Of the 9lh
Of November will bring Us q splendid victory
in Ohio.
The following sxhortation, from the New
York Tribune, is timely and appropriate, and
we commend it to the attention of our read
ers:
TIE most glarirg fault of our Generals, in
the earlier hHlf of the war, was their manifest
iudisposition TO hurt the ENEMY. 1t they could
move him back little they were content, aud
took 10 writing rosesie bulletins instead of
following up their successes and turning them
to the greatest possible account. This, ac-
eOrding to Msjor Key, was mot the game"

ly the tide runs our wsy. Improve it! Push
on the columns everywhere. Arouse the slug
gard quicken the lagenrd, and resolve thai
our last vote shall be brought out. Perfect
your county and subordinate organizations;
circulate documents freely and systematically
scrutin re your regisiries. and be ready for an
overwhelming conclusive Union triumph al
the November election. We respectfully sug
gest that wherever an tficient, working Union
organization does not already exist, there be a
meeting Of the Union voters OF the township
or election district TO create a local Organiz4-
tion and prepare to bring out our last voIe Oh
Tuesday, The 9Th day Of November. Let not
one vote be lost

THE NEWS.

The Epleudid victory in the Shenandoah
valley, achieved Thursday of last week by
Sheridan over Early, increases in magnitude as
the particulars come in. 1t is the more impor-
tant because in the early part of the contest
we we're decidedly worsied, and what came
very near being disastrous defeat was by su-
periOr Generalship aid iDdoDitable courage Of
our troops turned into brilliant victory
The rebels make no attempt to conceal their
defeat or belittle its importance-that task is
left for their Northern sympathizara. The
fragment left of Early's army has 10 be re-or-
ganized and re-armed, nearly all who escaped
having thrown away their arms.
Last adviees from Sherman represent him
as vigorously following up Hood, who seems
to be making every possible effort to escape
from the dilema in which be has placed him
self by his last movement. The rebel papers
acknowledge that the brilliant results reported
1.-THE traits Uf his movements were not real
ized, and that the favorable accounts they re-
ceived were gross misrepresentation. The
telegraph is again in operation, aud the rail
road is also probably in running order by this
time. I: is to be hoped Hood will not be able
to escape our pursuing forces.
After considerable severe skirmisbing for
several days, a battle was fought in southwest
eru Missouri on the 22d. in which the rebels
were routed with heavy loss. AT last advices
Price was rapidly retreating sou,bward with
our pursuing forces close in bis rear
From the Army oil the Potomac there is
nothing of special interest. The last dispatch
es represent that Grants preparations for
grand demonstration against Richmond are
nearly completed, aud that We shall soon hear
important news from that quarter. Reports
Of this kind are not, however, always to be
implicitly relied upon as correct.
A formidable feet has been assembled at
Fortress Monroe, under command Of Admiral
Porter. Its destination is not positively known,
but it is supposed to be Wilmington. North
Carolina the only remaining port through
any considerable quantity from foreign coun-
tries.
The rebel ourlaws who made descent on
the town OF ST. Albans, VT, from the Canada
border, ard committed murder and robbery,
were pursued into Canada by our fieers and
most Of them captured. The rebels claim
that the capture under such circumstances was
an Unauthorized invasion of neutral territory,
but it is not likely their plea will avail them
in securing release through the interposition
of The B itish government.
Nine new Ohio regiments have already en-
tered the field under the recent call, and
tenth is nearly ready TO depart.
The yellow fever is prevailing with great IA
tAlity at Charleston, South Carolina, and VIII
nigton and New bern, North Carolina.

The C,uclnnau Enquirer OF April 17ih,
1861, says:
LEX President Buchanan is strongly for
sustaining the Government, so says dspa rch
from Lancaster. Pa. Had be pnrsu "a diff
erent course in his Administration most OF
these troubles would have been arrested, aud
we should not now be in war"
The Enquirer couln scarcely help telling
the truth; uut then at the same lime, we know
that The DsmacJatic siunIpers are going all
round the country declaring that Lincoln
brought on the war, and that he has revolu-
tiOnzrd the country. The plain TACT is, and
The Enquirer in suber earnest admits it, that
he Democratic president brought on the war
and consequently any revolution that is now
eXtant in this country.
