CUR DEFEAT SUBJECT OF CON
GRATu LATlON,

We believe we express the sentiment Of
many of the most intelligent and patriotic
men Of the Democratic party, in the OPT.
uion that the election 10 best decided as
we have seen. or Course, all our princi>
pies and feelings were on the side Of the
defeated candidates, aid we can justly
console ourselves with the reflection that
we have fully discharged our duty to our
country and to Higher Power, to whom
We and our opponents must give an
account. Had Mcclellan been elected,
the task of restoring the country to some
thing Of its prestine civil condition might
possibly have been accomplished by frank,
earnes. and persistent efforts. But an
administration found under him would
have been subject, not merely to the de-
cided indisposition of the most influential
part Of the South to agree to any terms
short of independence, but to the deter.
mined resistance Of the main body Of Mr..
Lincoln's adherents in the North. At
this late day the task would have been
stupendous, and there is only too much
reason to think that every effort to that
end would have been thwarted by adverse
influences. By loosing the election we
thus escape tremendous responsibility,
and the reproach Of running our country.
BY failure to effect the erd desired. That
responsibility is now upon the Lincoln
Administration and its supporters, and
we can only await the issue of the policy
which they have for some time past laid
down. This policy is not the restoration
of the Union, but the recovery Of the lost
power Of the United States over revolted
States, by means Of military subjugation
and the abolition Of slavery. If they fail
in effecting these objects, they will be
accountable for the ruin Of the country.
We have too often expressed our views
upon this subject to reiterate them now.
Experience will soon test the soundness Of
these views and put to a severer trial than
ever before the capacity and ability Of the
Administration to carry out its projects -
The die is cast. II we had doubts Of the
result Of concilatory policy to give US
union since things had gone 80 far, assur'
eddy We have none in regard to the meas
ures relied upon by the Administration
A people however weak, who are threat
ened with sujugation aud annihilation,
become wonderously strong. NJ rational
person can expect that such struggle will
end with success to the assailants during
four years or forty years. Time will show
whether it will not necessarily end other.

shorter period.

ridge with 10000 men attacked General

fears Of an invasion Of Kentucky as the
consequence of this reverse was appre.
hended, and the military authorities are
fully prepared to meet any advance Of
such force into the State.

Gen. Pope transmits long report Of
his campaign in the Northwest, dated
headquarters at Milwaukee, last week -
After reviewing the condition of the In.
dian tribes, he says that with the Chippe.
was there have been difficulties, which
have not led to hos!ilities, although there
have been, and continue to be, constant
Misunderstanding, dissatisfaction, aud con
troversy, which naturally arise under our
defective Indian system, between the In
dams on oLc side aud Indian agents and
traders on the other. So far, these diff
culties have not eliminated in actual hos
tilities; but, unless the Indian system be
remodeled, they are likely to do so At any
moment. The war up to this time has
been entirely confined to the Sioux nation.
He concludes his report as follows:
~ may state finally that the govern
ment may safely dismiss all apprehension
of Indian wars in the Northwest Small
Indian raids there will doubtless be. as
there always have beeL, for stealing horses
No hostilities on any considerable scale
are likely again to occur. A small force.
such As is designated in this report, will
be quite sufficient to protect the frontier
and migration. / only ask now that the
military authorities be left themselves to
deal with those Indians, and to regulate
trading with the Indian tribes, without the
iaterposition Of Indian agents, aud l will
cheerfnlly guarantee peace with the Indian
tribes in this department.

From Atlanta to Augusta, by railroad,
10 Ill miles From Augusta to Charles.
ton, 1877 miles. From Macon to Savannah
100 miles From Augusta 10 Savannah,
1872 miles. The country from Atlanta to.
wards Augusta is quite rolling, and, in
places, rocky, with plenty Of small streams
and springs, and abundance Of wood and
forage for an army. 1t is really a we'll.
settled farming country. There are but
few swamps, and the roads generally are
good. The only serious distractions tiat
the inhabitants could place in the way Of
an army would De in the destruction of
the bridges over the Savannah at Angus
ta If they do that the army could turn
attention first upon Savannah instead of
Charleston, or it could rebridge the river
without any serious delay. The country
between Augusta aud Charleston is not
30 good as toward Atlanta. Part Of it is
Inhabited by poor "saodhillers,' aud part
Of it is very sparseIy inhabited. From
Branchvil!e-the point where the rail-
roads from augusta and Columbus unite
TO Charleston, 81 miles, the country is
very fat, with good deal OF swamp. and
in summer time is so miasmstic that set
s'c'AcuSo oio SpoaSO, 'hetC ot0
some large plantations. and where cotton
was king, there were grea, many slaves
kept At work upon all the dry spots of this
swampy region. 1t is not u bad one to
march through in cool weather. 1t would
be deadly in summer. Immediately around
Charleston the land is very sandy or
swampy.
The road from Augusta to Columbia,
the capital of South Carolina, is "across
the ridges,' which are generally low, sand
hills, and over small streams, the borders
of which are cultivated by small cotton
planters and farmers, who keep good
deal of stock, and have plenty OF grain
aud potatoes. The Congaree river at Col.
umbia is a respectable size mill stream,
nothing ,nore, and so is the Wsteree, east
ward Of it, and so are the two Pedees, and
if an army ever has to march from Au-
gus,a to Wilmington, it will find no serious
distractions in the way, except in time
Of high water, when every small stream
overhows its banks and covers broad
swamp. The whole way is good country
for an army to march and subsist in. The
distance from Augusta to Columbia 10
about eighty miles, and from Colum.
bia to Wilmington, N. c., about two hun.
dred miles. Some of the richest cotton
planters of South Car DINA are found along
the rivers, which such a march would cross.
