Eew York.-Out of the wilderness.


The question B settled beyond all posi-.
bility of doubt or cavil. The thirty-three
electoral votes of the State of New York
will be cast for Abraham Lincoln. Reuben
Z. Fenton will be the next Governor Of
the Empire State Mcclellan and Sey-
mour have both received the signal con-
demnatiOn Of the people of New York
That "bOla, bad man" that smiling villain
that sleek and subtle Mephistopheles of the
American Republic is hurled from his seat
Of power. He is impotent for further evil
The reeurns of the State are now collected
snd the result ascertained. 1t exhibits a
majority against Mcclellan and .Seymour
of upwards Of 1900.
For ourselves, we have never doubted
the result. Since the first dispatch came
thrilling over the wires announcing the
Democratic majority in New York City as
$4,000, We have rested in secure confidence
that rRe great Empire State would go for
Lincoln.
Tsa news clears away the last doubt as
to the result Of the election. The status
of the remaining States is definitely settled.
The result Is exactly Whist we predicted on
Thursday morning-every State but Ken
lucky, New jersey and Delaware for Lin
coin, and 2l3 electoral votes for him out
of 234-

The overwhelming triumph of the Ad-
ministration in the recent election, has left
certain great issues beached high and dry.
The Democratic party, though respectable
in numbers, is no longer living party, as
the doctrines on which it conducted Its q re-
cent campaign have been repudiated by
the whole country. A cessation of hostili-
ties and convention of states, so long as
rebels are in arms, are repudiated as
thoroughly IS the old Wing party was in
1852. The thunder and the lightning Of
the party are used up. It would be as
sensible now for party TO be raised up
upon the issue Of the tariff or the Missouri
compromise as for the democracy to rally
round their old standards. There can be
no issues for four years that should
distract the North, except that of the best
way In which to put down armed resistance
to the government. The people should all
be united in this work, and when the work
of restoring the rebellious states to their
allegiance under the Constitution and the
lsws shall have commenced, srmed opposi-
ton being first crushed out, then there may
be issues upon which the people may di-
vide, but not till then. Let all good citiz-
ems, therefore render cordial support to
the government. hi. Gl-lE ca.

send In the returns.

The Democratic Secretary of State in
Ohio, William ". Armstrong, notified
Governor Brough on Thursday, that he
would receive no returns of the Presidens
tial election after November 10th. The
matter was laid before the Board Of Can
vssssrs, who decided that Armstrong was
technically correct in his position, the old
statute requiring returns to be made within
ten days after the day Of election. Every
return should the7sfors be sent ia at once.
Any delay is hazardous and may be fatal.
We don't blame Armstrong for wishing
to see as little of the returns as possible.
The job of counting them must be es-
pecially distastful to him. Naturally he
wants to get through with it as soon as he
can.

A SECOND Letter from Congressman
W. W. BOyee- .a.
WnEsBoRo, S. C, Oct 20, 1864.

~ WREsBoRo, S. G., Oct. 20, 1864.
DEAR SIR:-In reply TO your note, l beg
leave to say that L think the course rec.
| commended the best possible course to at.
tain the great object we are aiming at, the
/ establishment Of our independence. Ii
proceeds uIoD two leading ideas
| l. To reconcile the North, or such por.
ton as may be rational, to our indepen-
dence, by hsrmonizing as much SIS possible
our independence with thei. material inter.
est.
2. To avail ourselves of the division of
sentiment at the North. al 7es
Il wss to give potency to these two ideas
at the South that / insisted so strenuOusly
in my letter to the President on the danger
to our republican institutions from the To-
definite continuance Of the war. -a-
Let me call your attention to this strik-
ing fact, that, of all the world, the only DO
litical organization which proposes to in
tevene between US and the war party
North, Is the party which adopted the
Chicago platform. Now, should we pur-
sue policy to build up that party or not?
1 think most decidedly we should.
Let me call your attention to another
fact. In the event of the assembling of q
Congress of the States, it is manifest that,
in that Congress, from the Northern
States, would be represented two adverse
systems of idess-one having the animus
of the Chicago platform, the other of the
Lincoln platform The first these would
be in the sscendency, because the very
converting of the Congress necessarily i'm
plies the defeat of Lincoln and his system,
as it is well undestood thst Lincoln and the
party he represents are utterly opposed to
the assembling Of the Congress.
Under this state of facts, an abrupt di-
vision of sentiment would be found in the
Congress between the opponents and the
supporters Of Lincoln. From this there
might result events of the vsstest advan-
tage to US, if our councils were guided by a
mastery wisdom o..
If under that coDjuncture, We could dig
UP the head of Richelieu, or Louis XI, or
even the head of Elizabeth the great
Queen of England, and put it, full of its
original brains, upon the shoulders of the
man who would have the direction Of our
diplomacy in that Congress, the chances
would be 8 thousand to one that our
country would emerge from the clouds
which now enshroud il redeemed regen-
Grated. disenthralled" War is but blind /
giant" striking at random, unless the ge-
MUS of diplomacy directs the blows. Ideas
are the true divinities of this sublunsry
world. Let US consult these our oraeleS.

Movements of Gen. HOOd-DestitutIOa

NASHVILLE November Z.
General Hood is moving in the direction
of Corinth, having, by this time, been un-
deceived relative to the strength of our
forces. Sta ting out with the impression
that there were but $4,000 men between
the Cumberland and Atlanta, he naturally
believed himself able TO make q successful
flank movement and cut our communica-
tions, thereby compelling the evacuation
of Georgia, and perhaps Tenn ,ssee; but
finding he had made trifing error of
about 100, 900, he evidently thinks it safer
to get out Of the way, and thus he is doing.
His men are in state of great destitu-
ton. Subsisting or the country win not
be difficult if he has plenty of wagons
for there are corn and sweet potatoes IN
abundance, but the lack of wagons com
pells him to scatter his army, though it is
probable he will concentrate it ct Corinth,
where he can rely upon the Mobile q Al

The Rebel Congress Urged TO Propose
= Convention OF ali the States.


The plan for obtaining this general con-
vention is simple. Let Congress express
itself upon thesubject, appoint three or five
Commissioners of national reputation to go
to Washington snd lay the matter before
the United States government and, our
word for it, the scheme would either meet
with an affirmative response, or in the
event Of a rejection, 50 divide the councils
of the enemy as to break one half the
force of his blows in the spring. Suppose
Lincoln should decline, he would then put
the war on declared footing of extermi-
nation; suppose he accepts, what an op-
p0rtunity does such body offer to Eng
land and France, who have always ex-
pressed 8 desire to interfere whenever
there should sppear reasonable hope Of
success. -.s...
The weapons are now in the hands of
Congress. The States can do nothing. The
people can do nothing. The President
will do nothing. Congress alone has the
power, by its courage and wisdom, to striKe
a blow for peace. If it would resssure the
army it had better act; 1t hsd better act if
it would resssure the heart Of the whole
country.
