FACTS.

If George Mcclellan is elected the next Presi-
dent of the United States (says the Columbia Car
onan) there is not word he has uttered, nor q
declaration in the Chicago platform on which he
stands, that indicates any thing but prosecution
of war for the Union even more vigorously than
has marked the past four years. If not peace
man on the basis of the independence the South,
he will prove the most dangerous enemy with
whom contend.
IT, on the other hand, Abraham Lincoln is re-
elected, We believe that peace will be forced by
the Democratic and peace parties of the North
within year-not from any love they have to the
South, but because of their hate of the. present
form of Yankee Government, with its rain of
evils and disasters-because they want power and
plumber in one shape or another, and are deter
mined to possess it.
The late Northern papers bring us an address by
the National Union Committee" of the Republi-
can party, dated New York, October 14th, which
sets forth very explicitly the dangers of their ''st-
uation" should they be successful in November.
We copy from the address referred to:
"Sgns, moreover, not wanting that the
allies of rebellion, represented at Chicago are pre-
pared if the contest be close, to resist the vrdct
of the people now, as it was resisted four years
ago, by armed rebellion. Threats of such pur-
pose have been freely uttered Secret organiza-
tons looking to such movement, have been per-
fected.
"Arms and ammunition have been secretly ac-
cumulated in the Western States, and the Chica-
go Convention itself refused to adjourn sine die,
after its Legitimate business had been transacted,
but on motion of Wicklfe, of Kentucky, an open
ally of the rebellion, and in imitation of the Jacob
in Club of revolutionary France, resolved itself in
to permanent body for the avowed purpose of
taking such steps emergencies might require be-
tween now and the 4th of March next. TO what
do thnco fook
Northern soil of the secession movement in the
Southern States; attempts to arouse rebellion
against the will of the people, if that will should
be pronounced agaius. them ?"

FROM PETERSBURG.
From the EXDress. Nov. Cd.

number OF deserters came into our lines yes
terday, embracing every branch of the Federal
fantrymen, cayatrymen and marines
The former report that the Yankee army was ex-
ccedingy denoralize1 on their recent retreat from
the Boydton Plankroad, Grants official statements
Ito the contrary, Notwithstanding They also state
that every available team with the army was used
to carry away such Of the wounded as could not
walk, and that many Of them were so crowded as
to render their condition anything but comfortable
1t is very evident that Grant made this advance
with the expectation of fighting great and sue
ccssful BATTLE as he came with al! his best corps
commanders, anG largely supplied with provisions
and conveniences for his wounded. Twenty five
or thirty thousand men are heavy force to make
simple reconnaissance. That they did not fight
as we'll as might be expected from their numbers,
is fully substantated by the fact that two three
small brigades Of Confcderatcs broke through their
thick lines and pierced beyond the centre of their
position An additional attacking force of two
more such brgades, would have caused the rout
and capture of half the Yankee army, with Grant
in the bargain.
Grant, in his official despatch, claims the capture
of several government teams loaded with supplies
from Stony Greek. They happened to be four
teams belonging to the Southern railroad company,
en- route to Stony Creek, and loaded with coal and
two thousand pounds of bacon. The coal and
|
wounded Yankees crowded into the wagons aud
hurried off to the Our soldiers subsequently
recovered the bacon, and have no doubt enjoyed
many hearty meal of it since.
Beyond all doubt, the Yankees were worse
whipped and more thoroughly demoralized in this
battle than in any other of the war Every evil
dence betokens it, and little more vigor on our
side, would not only have made it one of the most
brilliant victories for u.s. but would have swept half
OF the opposing force from the field.
The handsome little affair of Sunday night, in
which Malone SO effectually relieved G. half mile
of the enemys picket line, is still the theme of
much con versation. But for the simple fact that
some Of the prisoners escaped in the darkness and
gave information Of the manner in which things
were working at the front, some two or three more
miles Of this picket line would have been swep, SO
clean, that not Yankee would have been left to
tell the tale of so mysterious disappearance. So
Stealthily did our men pounce upon them, that not
until some of the enemy were taken by the arm
and-old to surrender that the fearful truth broke
upon them that they were prisoners.
