Fifth Judicial District.

We learn from the Farihault Repnbh-
can that Judge DONALDSON Is probably re-
elected by a small majority over the I'm
ion candidate GEO. M. BAroaELpER. The
Republican says: "The official combina-
ton to continue DONALDSON in office was
q strong one, consisting Of the Attorney.
General, Secretary of State, State printer,
and probably one OF the State Commits
sioners to take the soldiers votes, besides
a host Of lesser lights in the official tir,na-
ment" The re election of DONALDSON
should be regretted by all parties, for he
is VIGOROUSLY incompetent in every re-
spect for the responsible position OF Dis
trict Judge. So long as we have an cleo
tive judiciary the country will often be
cursed with pettifoggers and shysters on
the bench.

A Richmond 3oafnal of the 18th Inst.
warns its readers 70 expect some startline
news about the Federal General SHrRxAR.
What this startling news may be, the rebel
editor does not indicate. That he alludes
to . movement towards Charleston, such
as has been reported in the North, there is
however, much reason to doubt. Aside
from the discrediting Of that report in
military circles, it is improbable by reason
of its obvious impracticability. But that
SHERMAN is arranging, and very likely is
now practically engaged in carrying out an
important and startling" operation Of
some kind is beyond doubt. Upon this
subject the Louisville Journal of Saturday
contains the following:
The situation of military affairs at the front
Ia very encouraging to those who understand
the stupendous strategic movements OF the
grand army of the Mississippi in their details.

Sherman, who has thoroughly matured and
wisely resolved upon course of action which

are convinced that the leading objects of the
undertaking will be accomplished and that the
effort will prove perfect success. We are not
at liberty to mention In what theater this ex.
petition is likely to operate, nor to mention
Its numerical strength or its Interior designs.
Il is enough to state that great good will doubt
less be accomplished by the Army OF the Mis-

military movement has not been undertaken
since the commencement of the rebellion, and
the Confederacy will soon receive shock
which will shake it from the center to the cir

may speedily be expected as the natural result
OF the execution of the programme laid
down for the guidance of all the subordinates
