emnt an immense expense thereby, and
moving with the greater rapidity.
Augusta was tolerably large city, for
the South, before the war. 1t is at the
head of navigation for large steamboats, of
the Savannah river, and two hundred and
thirty miles from the mouth, at Savannah.
Since the war its Importance has been very
considerably increased, by the erection of
large powder mills and Government ma
chine shops, the loss of which can i'll be
afforded by the confederacy. There may
be few defences, but it is not likely that
these are strong or numerous. An attack
was as little expected as rebel attack on
Chicago is now.
Once at Augusta, Sherman can choose
whether to march on Charleston or Sa-
vannah, and may, even, be able to take
both places at once, though this is hardly
probable.
It is about one hundred and eighty
miles from Augusta to Charleston; the
most of the way over good common roads
and railroad all of the way. With even
thirty thousand such men as Sherman's
behind the city, and cooperative move
ment by land and water on the other side,
we do not see how it can escape.

tribute to his memory:
Warm in his friendship and bitter in his ha-

A speech by Mr. Lincoln Ola the Re-
sult of the Election.

At late hour of Tuesday, the Sth
inst, President LINCOLN was serenaded
by club of Pennsylvanians, headed by
Capt THOMAS of that State. Being loudly
called for, the President appeared at a
window, and spoke as follows:

pliment was paid me by loyal citizens of Penn
sylvania friendly to me, l had inferred that you
were of that portion of my countrymen who
think that the best interests of the nation are
to be subserved by the support of the present
administration.
do not pretend to ray that you who think
so embrace all the patriotism and loyalty of the
country; but do believe, and trust without
personal intesest that the welfare of the coun-
ment be given. l earnestly believe that the
consequence Of this days work, If it be as you

Our Naval Hero, Lieut.. Cushing, the
Destroyer of the Albem arle.

The Albion, the English organ pub
lished in New York, thus notices the brave
and daring exploit of Lieut.. Cushing: cat
Plymouth, N. c., Lieutenant Gushing, q.
S. n, has destroyed the Confederate IRON
cased ram Albemarle, by the skillful use
of tOrpado in steam-launch. We copy
the young officers account of his daring
and brilliant ex ,,loit under our naval head
ing, and have no hesitation in saying that
no more bold and dashing enterprise was
ever conceived and executed by any seaman
in any service. 1t is of such stuff as this
Lieutenant, that Farraguts and Dundon-
aids are made"
A correspondent II the New York
Times gives the following description of
the personal appearance Of Lieutenant
CUSHING:
The most astonishing part of this narrative
Is that the hero of it is a youth Of only twenty
two years of age. with record already
summed up of which many grey boards would
be proud. When introduced to him, could
scarcely reconcile the fact that the unassuming
young man before me. with his frank, open
countenance, and long hair thrown wildly
back behind his ears, looking like some stu
dent just escaped from college for little frolic,
was the man whose name is already, and SO
justly, prominent before the public. Apart
from the glory which such episodes as these
throw around the character of our navy. this
destruction of the rebel ram Albemarle is q
really important affair. 1t has, for months
past, kept employed in watching and at bay
at least five OF our double-enders and some five
or six other vessels. which will now be re-
leased for any other kind of duty.

The present age is an age of materialism.
The worship of mammon has superseded
the worship Of God. Industrial develop
ment is regarded as Of more importance
than moral culture; and in consequence,
through all the departments of statesman
ship, and literature, we behold the phe-
nomena of ht4e great men, the reign of
mediocrity, the apotheosis of dulness.
When the nations awake from their dream
of selfishness, it will be at the trumpet
blast of a genius who respects the man
dates of the Almighty, and who will pro-
claim from the Pisgah heights of a lofty
morality the gospel of national peace and
safety

Startling Movement Of Sherm ans
main Army.

The correspondents have recently hint
ed at startling movement by Gen. SHsR-
MAN, that would be developed about the
first of November. The telegraph this
morning gives the first inkling of its ma
ture. According to the authority given,
Gen. SHERMAN has torn up the railroad
between Atlanta and Chattanooga, and
sent the rails to the latter place; has burn
ed Atlanta, and with five corps, has start
ed for Charleston, South Carolina, about
three hundred miles distant! That he has
moved Southwark from Atlanta, we think
there can be no doubt, and it is not i'm
probable that the dispatch has correctly
stated his route and destination. Bold,
brilliant, and even startling and hazardous,
as this movement may appear at first
blush, reference to the map and the po-
sltion of the great rebel armies, will show
that it is feasible. As HOOP has been left
far to the Northwest, SHERMAN has moth
ing to fear from him. LEE cannot detach
an adequate force to impede his march
without endangering Richmond.
The garrisons at Mobile, Savannah and
Charleston are barely sufficient to oppose
the forces menacing these points The
country between Atlanta and Charleston
is well settled, and abounds with every
thing necessary to subsist an army. Added
to these advantages, he will go through
region where the negroes, in immense
numbers, have been employed during the
war in raising subsistence for the rebel
army. If they can be of any
service to the Union army General
SHERMAN is the man to make that service
most effective. The important results of
SHERMAN's enterprise, to the Union cause,
are too obvoious to require exposition.
Latest dispatches say the report that
SHERMAN is marching diaecty on Charles
ton is discredited in military circles. The
Washington correspondent of the New
York Times says he is marching on Sa-
vannah, Georgia.

The Army and Navy Journal on the
Failure of Grants Campaign.

The Army and Nary Journal of Sat-
urday, in an elaborate and critical review
of Grants last movement against Rich
mond and its failure, fully confirms the
general estimate we have placed upon
both. e., that it was a deliberately pre-
pared and serious advance, and ended in q
repulse. We quote the Journal on these
these points:
Once more our army has surged bravely
but unsuccessfully, up against the en-
trenchments which far and wide environ
and protect the beleagured capital of the
enemy. The movement lately ended was
nothing less than a carefully devised and
systematic manouvre to penetrate some
where the long Gordon of the enemy 9 de-
fences, the special blow being directed
towards the Southside Railroad. - n
The projected movement had been kept
with profound secrecy, and nothing was
known Of it until Wednesday evening. In
deed, all outward indications were that
there would not be an advance for several
days at least. Great preparations were
made the same evening for the attempt, on
the superstition that, if successful, we
should not return to our old camp. All
the sick, the baggage, the commissary
stores, and all the camp equipage, wagons,
and other property, were sent back to City
Point, where they would be safely protect
ed by the gunboats and the elaborate
works. The suffers took their merchan-
disc in the same direction. Three days.
rations and forage were issued to the cav
airy, and four days rations to the infantry,
with sufficient quantities of ammunition.
Every preparation was made to break
camp. The long line of intrenchments at
Petersburg was to be held by artillery, with
only such infantry supports as were abso-
lutely necessary to prevent the enemy
breaking through in the rear. There was
q prospect of cutting loose from the base
several days, and of general engage
ment, provided the enemy could not easily
repulse US.
But the enemy's ability to resist at such
distance from Petersburg was contrary
to our plans; while his disposition to at
tack, after we had taken them in reverse,
was still more SO. Accordingly the move
ment was abandoned, with the approach
of night. and the troops were drawn off
the next day. This is the way it happen
ed that, instead of discovering the gap we
looked for in the enemy's, we unfortunate
ly discovered one in our own.
Our loss was about three hundred men,
and the enemy's perhaps half that number.
Of Zone thing we may be sure, that the end
of the campaign is not vet.

Illinois Election.
The Chicago Post of Friday says:

The Chicago Post of Friday says:
Somewhat reliable returns from thirty
six counties-over one-third of the State
show q net Democratic gain OF 9,O57
upon the vote of 1860. Unless the gain
in the rest of the State be a trife larger,
then the State has gone Republican by
majority less than three thousand. Until
the returns are more authentic, it is almost
useless to speculate as to the result.
All doubt as to the Congressman, ex-
cept the one elected by the State at large,
is now removed, and the following is the
result:
REPUBLICANS. DEMOCRATS.

& B. G. Cook.
H P II. BrOmwell.
8 g. 8. Cullom.
There is possibility that Col. Morrison
is defeated in the IL district, but we think
he is elected. The Republicans gain mem
bers in the 4th, 7th, 9Th districts, and, if
