THE PRESIDENTIAL ELEC-
TION,
What the Rebels Papers Think
Oflhe Result.
From the Richmond Wing, Nov. Ill

[Frum the Richmond Whig, Nov. Ill
Our information is next 10 positive that
Lincoln has been reelected Few have
doubted from the frst that this would be the
! result, and fewer still viii regret IT, Forour-
selves, We feel that the great cause for which
we are struggling has escapee . real peril
The policy Of Consolidation, oe eonsessien and
cajoleTy which Mcclellan would have at.
tempted was something more to be dreaded
than Lincoln's armies and navies. There
was great reason to apprehend that such .
| policy would deceive, demorai1e ard divide
the South. With Lincoln there is no fcar
| of this, our people will continne to stand a.
one man; with him il isa united South
against divided North. With Mcclellan
it might have beena united North against a
\ divided South, in which event all that we
have been striving for in this fonr years,
struggle would, have been lost But Lin
coin is to continue to be the master Of the
Yankees and the spectre OF Reconstruction
ydniShes forever. ...-.....
From, The Richmond Enquirer, Nov. H.
Lincoln has been, reelected President oi
| the United States. His first election could
not surprise any one. for he was wholly un.
| known; but his reelection, after four years
experience Of his character and capacity,
will not fail to impress the world with a very
low opinion of popular government: So tal
as the people Of these States are interested,
the reelection Of Lincoln is entirely salts
factory. For us, he is the right man in the
| right place. We would not have had him
! defeated, but gave all the influences of Thu
| Enquirer to him. Our reasons were entire
| " selfish. We prefer the management OF
| this war to remain in the same hands that
! have directed it for the last four years. We
| prefer an ignorant brutal fool as Comman-
| der-in-chei of the enemy to any other man.
He suits us entirely General Mcclellan
might bave given US more trouble, but We
| have taken the measure Of Lincoln, and
know exactly his entire worthlessness. -
The four years more Of war, which his cleo
| ton now makes sure, would not have been
avoided by the election of Mcclellan, but
4 might have been conducted with much more
| ability and given us more trouble than LIN
coin can possibly command. This re-eec-
tion of Lincoln binds our people still tirmer
together, and prevents the division and dis.
cord which the election of Mcclellan might
have introduced. We know that it means
continued war, and our country will prepare
for it. There is no prospect for peace, and
| it is better for us to know clearly the'pur-
pose of the enemy in this matter thar to
| have been divided in opinion by the hopes
of peace which the defeat of Lincoln would
have raised among our people. Let our au-
thorities begin Immediately the work of re-
coghizing the army, consolidating the regi-
ments, filling up the ranks, improving the
cavalry, and preparing for the spring cam
paign. .'' y
[From the Richmond Sentinel, Nov. ILL.,
The lines of Richmond furnish no news Of
the Yankees election. The enemy $ pick :
cts know nothing of the result They were
puzzled to understand why our men cheer
ed for Lincoln, as they did most Justify On
the Sth. The great card of the Lincoln pa
pers in the canvass was the pretense that
The Southern people were extremely anxious
Shat Mcclellan should be elected-that we
based, in fact, ourlast hopes on Mcclellan
and they have not yet been permitted to
know that Lincoln is. precisely the man that
we would choose for them. ... ~, g..}
