WHAT HAS BEEN Accomplished.

Platform, mo nearer the end than at
tho beginning" says every Copper
head journal in the country. "What
has Lincoln accomplishcd?" asks Ov-
cry Coppcrhcad orator from every
stump.
We find in an exchange the follow
ing answer to the above falsehoods
and question. To this list of things
accomplished, must bo added the cap
turo of Atlanta, the possession of tho
Weldon Railroad, aud the nearly ac-
complished Investment of Richmond.
One significant fact is mentioned below,
viz: that we havo never failed to hold
u place captured, and that the rebels
mover yet captured, and held a fort or
town, since the war commenced. Yet
every blatant Copperhcad in the count
ry is ready to declare that the rebels
are whipping us to death, and that
Lincoln has accomplished nothing:
"When the Rebellion was inaugura-
ted by Jeff Davis ordering General
Bcauregard to open fire on Sumter,
the North had no army organized;-
no navy, because Democratic Sec
rotary Of the Navy managed to have
our ships of-war scattered all over the
world Tor the purpose of aiding se-
cession:-no arms, because q Demo-
cratic Secretary Of War managed to
store three-fourths of all our arms, in
Guiding all rihed muskets in Southern
Arscnals, which were seized by the
rebels according to programme, while
there were left in the Northern Arse
nails ono-fourth of the arms belonging
to Government, all inferior smooth
bores. Yet in spite OF all these tre-
mendous disadvantages the Govern
mont labored under, VIC of the North
have succeeded in accomplishing a gi-
gantic work during the last three
years. =. ..t. -H
