L ADVANCE
Another Union victory is thrown in the
balance against the rebel cause. Thomas has
given satisfactory illustration of his ability to
take care Of Tennessee. As will be seen By
'r Nashville dispatches, and by General
So lds report 70 General Thomas, General
u... m.a,' an assault on the Union position q,
Fr.n.,,,A ysir rssiee, on the sosh ult, and wa.
repu,sed wttGthsi,,ss ,,ss Of probably six thousand
men. FraDklipNs situa.. ed on the south side Of
9 fordsh,e stream. about tw> 'uty miles south Of
Nashville. On the srth side Of a. : ''ream' op'
posi.e the town, the gr,0und Is high an~ 'oi1'-
fed, and it was doubtlelv against this po,h,
that Hoods attempt was made. Probably the
assault was made against this position in front
with visw to cover q movem snt on Thomas
right, though it may prove that ENod had suf-
Hcient confidence in his own power to venture
his main attempt on this assauits in front.
Thomas movements have been such Ss to en-
courage the oonAde.ce that Hood fels; and
Hood has perhape drawn from the re-
sent retirement Of Thomas, step by sssp,
the inference that Sherman had left
Thomas very weak, and that he could
strike and win ut once Thomas, as we know,
had force enough and On the morning Of this
very battle he was joined by the veteran COM
mand of A. J. Smith, and was thus, perhaps,
made much stronger than Hood in numbers.
Tbis repulse is, therefore, in all probability,
but he first of the series Of disasters to the
rebel force by which it will be utterly over
wheimed..
And while Thomas thus holds Hood in the
hollow OF his hand, away across the country,
almost at the other extremity Of the space be-
tween the Mississippi and The Atlantic, Sher-
man still goes on splendidly, crashing and

nlinistYation is th1 reinfOrUcnsent Of OUT armies,
and especially the army in front Of Richmond
ard Petsrsburg. But all eur armies, East and
West, should be at once heavily strengthened,
not only 10 f1il M their losses from battles and
disease, but in order that toe war may be
pushed forward without relaxesion to the end.
Il is prooahle that our armies ae tboy stand are
strong enonxh to overthrow JEFF. Davis if we
give them time enough. But why should the
war thus be permitted, ''ike wounded snake,
to drag its slow lcngth along" for another
year, when IL may be finished in six months or,
in three months. by strong infusion Of fresh
volunteers into our veteran armies, We all
want peace; and whether We look st It from q
military, financial Of humanitarian point Of
view, our true peace policy is that Of making
the war ''shcrt, sharp and decisive"
Mr.. Lincoln, then, in hs forthcoming annual
message 10 Congress, we hope, will recon-
mend, in view Of an imDedats call for more
soldiers, the necessary ways and means for Sc
curing them by the volunteer and bounty sys-
tenn. The system Of drafting is obnoxious,
expensive, harassipg, aud yields no compen-
satipg returns. The volunteer and bounty
system has proved more satisfactory In every
way. A cali for volunteers for twelve months
service, embracing bounty Of Eve or six hun
dred dollass, at this stage OF The war, will
speedily secure the two, three or even FIVE
hundred thousand able-bodisd nsn. We have
more men In the loyal States to-day, by thou
sands upon Thousands, than We had ct the be-
ginning Of the war. Lst Mr.. Lincoln, then,

gress; and II he should fail 70 Do this, let the
two housss take tho initiative in providing for
new levy Of ave hundred thonnad men, and
then 70 may look fet speedy psacs. Not one
bali, mot one-thrd this number may bs actually

Of twelve months voluntssrs. and We shall

IncideNlS u of Travel.

MCEWINGSVILLE, Pa, Nov. 26.
DEAR JoGRNAL:-I am writing from
a pleasant town in sight of branches of
the great Allegheny Mountains, the
backbone of creation, which separates
the Atlantic from the Misslssippi.--
This is Union town, but the county
(Northumberland) is Democratic-mod-
ern democracy, l mean. te.4.
We have the good news, to-day, that
the Governors OF some OF the rebel States
propose to return to their allegiance. L
reach YOU it will he known whether the
report be true or false. .eo.5..
We arrived at Chicago the next morn
ing after leaving Muscatine, in time to
take the express train for Pittsburgh !;
but for some reason, to me unknown,
and, as / verify believe, without any
justifiable cause, we were detained with
in two miles of the depot at Pittsburgh
for about an hour and half, and when
we arrived at the depot were informed
that the express had been gone about
fifteen minutes. 1 heard many wishes
and expressions about the Company,
conductor and others connected with
the train we had just left, for their de-
lay, which wishes, if they should be
granted, would not rebound to the ad-
vantage of the P, Ft. w. u c. Railroad
Company. We were compelled to wait
about three hours for the accommoda-
ton train. AS passed through the de-
pot building, heard soldier talking to
acivilian, and, supposed, a acopperhead.
Just as I passed, the soldier remarked,
"a copperhead who will secrete de-
serter, and try to prevent enlistments, !
would rather shoot than to shoot q
rohxA1 - fNhio cnnlyarl in a fNno nf
voice that showed he meant what he
said never before realized SO clearly
what was meant by accommodation
train" 1t is understood to be train
that stops at every hen rOost along the
road. BY this train, however, we had
the advantage of crossing the noun
tains entirely by day, and never had a
better view of the sublime scenery along
the Central" Adler pens than mine
have described the beautiful sights
along this road, so forbear. az
Arrived at Harrisburg, we had to
wait Il few hours for the train to this
place While sitting in the bar room Of
the United States Hotel, | was grieved
to see Colonel of the Union army
drunk The use of Intoxicating drinks
as a beverage is a crying evil in our
army, and no doubt has cost us millions
of dollars and thousands of lives. Every
commissioned officer who, but for once,
gets Intoxicated, should be ,cashiered. =
The lives of our soldiers should never
be entrusted to drunken officer.
Just before t,e train left for this place
I was in the ladies' room" Of the depot.
There We're great many people waiting
some standing, others sitting or lying
on the floor; some sleeping, others
waking NV attention was directed to
fat woman-I suppose two hundred
pounder-who was sitting in chair, lier
head bent forward. and snoring. She
certainly snored according to hc, size.-
Imagine a lion roaring, a bull believing
and jack braying all at time, and
near to you, and you have some idea of
the tremendous sounds coming from the
nasal organ of the fat woman.

The Official Vote Of Iowa.

The Secretary ofState informs us that
the home vote of the State has been otfi-
cial,y canvassed, with the exception of
Dickinson. Howard, Palo Alto, and
O'Brien counties, which have not sent
in their returns. Leaving out these
counties, the official count stalids thus :
For Abraham Lincoln. y, 111 votes; for
Mcclellan, 47,071. Linccln's majority,
25,O39. The counties W. to report,
enumerated above, Sss5si S,sT st II year ar, an al,
have done better this year. =,t
The regiments which have made re-
turns foot up thus: For Lincoln,
l6,2 ,237; for Mcclellan, 1859. Majority
for Lincoln, 1858. The following regi-
ments have not yet reported 18th,
18th, 18th, 10Th, 33d, and 34th infantry,
and the I'd and Sth cavalry. and I'd bat
terry. ..-l I'D
Thus far ascertained, the majority for
President Lincoln on the combined vote
is Thirty-Eight Thousand Six Hundred
and Seventeen! And when all the
counties and regiments shall be heard
from, the majority will climb beyond
the sublime altitude of FORTY THOU
SAND!
Excluding the counties not in, the
home vote of the State is 1879 Last
year, including those counties, it was
1875.

A New Corps Of Veterans.

We neglected at the proper time to
call special attention to an order ema-
mating from the War department rela-
tive to the organization o. a new army

Corps. Tne organization ot tais corps
continue until January lst. The pri-
vatesof this corps will consist OF able
bodied men vino have served honO.ably
not less than two years, and there ore
not subject to draft rhey will be fur
nished transportation to i Washington,
and he paid special bounty OF $3Jo
upon being mustered into service Each
recruit who preserves his arms to the
end of his term may retain them rs his
own upon being honorably discharged
This corps of tried veterans will be COM
manded by the gallant Major-General
Hancock, who has already given to the
Second Corps its glorious reputation
Much as we admire Hooker, highly as
we appreciate Sheridan, much as we
love Sherman, we. cannot withhold from
Hancock the reputation of being the
most stubborn, persevering and success
ful of all our corps commanders. We
want to see the new corps quickly filled.
Veterans, you will never find a more
gallant leader than Hancock.
