A Great Victory.

As the smoke of the conflict clears
away, we can discern the completeness
of our victory. In every point Of view
il is a most gratifying success for the
Union men OF the country. Mr. Lin
coin is reelected by a majority Of the
popular vote larger than has been Civ
en- TO any President since the election
of Mr.. Munroe. In the electoral col
lege he has the votes of all the States
except Delaware, New Jersey and
Kentucky. The good work began in
October is completed, and the Union
lists can now count upon two-thirds
vote in both houses of Congress-
There are decided Union gains in most
OF the States since the vote Of last
year. The contrast Of the vote of
many cities and States that now 90 for
Mr. Lincoln with the vote they cast
on the occasion OF his first election are
very marked, and are interesting in
dications OF the tendency Of the popu-
lar current. Cities which then gave
decided maiorities against Mr.. Lincoln
now give majorities as decided in his
favor. States in which his ticket did
not receive decent minority in 1860,
now give their electoral vote for bis
re election. All bis old supporters
have stood fast by him, because he has
stood fast by the country. This last
popular verdict is glorious proof Of
the fact that the people Cannot be turn
ed aside from a national work which
they have once undertaken. In the
language of the resolution OF the Dem
ocralic State Convention, eve con.
graduate the Democracy Of Vermont
upon the steadtaslness Of the people.
Although leaders may desert, the peo-
i,le are true 10 their principles.

Carr. KSArr PRoxorEp.-Our
last polished acooanls Of Capt. Knapp
left him IN command Of she 18th reg
imeui. or What was left Of il, after the
last baltle. BY private letter from
him since that date we learn ihA, the
regiment Is not 80 much wasted as thai
report would seem to imply. Although
he had only abou, s. men 6t for duty
present after the battle, yet there Is a
large number Of the men in the hos
pital, Of whom at bis last writing 100
had returned to duty, and company
Of nearly hundred bad arrived from
this State. so that the regiment would
number 700, a large proportion OF
whom would soon be in the ranks
again. In letter received two days
since from Cor. Smith, we are in
formed that "Knspp has been promoi-
ed to the Majority. That Capt. Eat
on is Lieut.. Colonel, but he is a pris-
oner, and more recent advices indicate
that be Is dead"
From the same source we learn that
in case this last intelligence should
prove true that Maj. Knapp would
be still further promoted. We are
sorry tina, the loss Of Lieut.. Col. Cum
mings and now prabably of Lieut.. Col.
Eaton, should be the immediate occa-
sion Of this promotion. But 10 the
circumstances, we feel that the pre-
motion of Capt. Knapp is well and
justly deserved. IA.

GEN. BANKS ON THE NEGRO QUEs.
TIoN.-Maj. Gen. N. p. Banks in a
late speech in Boston said:
~ laboring man on a farm or a me-
chanic. requires not only that he shall
have home but that his family shall
remain at home. This is a new idea
to the negro, realized for the first time,
and he asks for the corollary of that
condition. He demands Of his en-
ployer that his wife shall not be sent
into the field to labor. He is willing
to work extra hours in order to gain
means TO support his family. When
this principle exists, not alone in an
individual but in the whole popuIa
ton, it is impossible to doubt the ca
pacity Of the negro TO contine the sys.
TEN Of free lobor.
II is not to be expected that either
the white or black race will % to kill
ing themselves tor the sake Of some
thing to do; but the Incidence Of the
black race is to be accounted for IN a
perfectly natural way. The negro is
an imitoiive being. lie sees in the
Southern States that the great people
do nothing and the greater they are
the less they do. Laughter. That
is the idea Of perfect happiness, and
Of perfect grandeur-not to do any
thing at all. SO long, therefore, as
the proprietors as the leading people
Of the South do nothing, why, when a
negro gets chance, if it is only for
five or ten minutes, be assumes thai
lordly style, and does nothing. But
