THE NEWS.


The dispatches shed no Light upon the
whereabouts Ct Shcrman- One reports him
retutnlLg to TicksburE, and another that,
eiler remaining brief time at Meridian, he
rushed uottliT:rd towards Columbus and
Aberdeen, and is about to invade Georgia,
sitter forming junction with Logan, to opeE-
ate against Johnston's flank. Whatever
may be lis designs, it is sufficiently asccr-
tanned that he ilas caused the destrnc-
tion Of the Missia5ippi & Alabama
Railroad, md tl,at destruction and
devastation have followed III his wake. He
has inflicted most damaging blow upon The
rebellion Ia the very seat Of its power, as is
eEideEeed BY the rebel dispatches. Blazing
villages and wide spread destruction Of ma
tcrials Of war have marked his path We are
at last making Wit in earnest, and the rebels
are tasting the bitter fruits OF their treason
Gen kilpatsick's raia is one of the mos1
brilliant and daring exploits of the war,
eplendtdlS executed aud fertile in
the most important results. Al
though he has undoubtedly faifcd
in the attempt to capture Richmond, owing
to The superior force which met hi..a, he has
cut Lees communications and supplies, dcs

ited engagement near the rebel capital His
raid, like that Of Gen. Guitars, will be get
down US amongst the boldest dashes Of the
5oung blood Of our army, for neither Kilpa-
trick nor Custar have yet reached thirty.
Their raids, like those of Gems. Smith, Ave
I'LL, Sherman, and Seymour, although they
may fall In their prime object are yet Of tho
most important character. Millions Of prop
ery have been destroyed, the country they
t1avetsed has been Laid waste By the demands
OF and teast; there is neither forage nor food
left- More warehouses laden with stores
fruitful farms and mills heaped full with grain
have been burned railways and bridges de-
stroyed. Blazing towns and wide spread de-
stSuction, stampeding and captured slaves aud
total destruction Of material of war and
means OF sustenance Is the price the rebels
are paving for their treason. The rebellion
carDot endure many morc such blows IS this.

The last hope of the Confederate govern
ment of any assistance from England was
frosted at the opening of Parliament. Mr..
Disraeli, in speech on the Queens address,
complained, among other things, of the omis-
sion Of any allusion to American affairs
Lord Palmerston replied to Disraeli, and sta
ted, in effect, that the policy of England was
SO well established towards this country that
sny allusion to it in the address would be
surplusage. In the course of his remarks he
said
Why, have we not over and over again la
mented, and still continue to lament, the con-
tinuance OF that war, and we have declared
more than once that her Msjesty's government
profess to act, and intend to continue to act
upon a principle of strict neutrality in re-
gard to that contest Unless the House had
thought that her Majesty's government wal
going to depart from that course, of which
there is no indication whatever, it would
have been matter of surplusage to have ill
ed the speech with repetition of the state
ments made on former occasions, and which
are still binding upon her Majesty's govern
ment."
10 view of this, the Southern Independence
Association 10 England may as well put uE
| its shutters and hang a sign "To Rent on it
| establishment

ELECTIoNs.-The Spring elections open
gloriously for the Union cause, and afford
gratifying evidence of the continued devotion
of the people to the cause of the country.
The first State election of the year 1864,
came off in New Hampshire Tuesday last,
and resulted in most signal Union triumph.
The Union candidate for Governor is elected
by about 1000 majority, being gain of $500
since last spring. The five councillors are all
Union, and both branches of the Legislature
are also largely Union; which secures the cleo
tion Of a Union O. s. Senator.
At the municipal election in the city of
Portland, Maine, few days ago, the Union
candidate for Mayor was elected by majori-
ty Of 1,13O, being gain since last year of
955. Every ward in the city was carried by
the Union party.
The annual town elections in New York
show large Union gains. Returns from 80
counties show the election of $40 Union Su-
Pervisors to 2lO Democrats-being a gain
since last spring Of 3d. This speaks well for
the Empire State, and clearly indicates where
she will stand in the coming Presidential con-
test.

The Richmond WING on Meat.

After asserting that there is more meat in
the Confederacy than ever before, especially
in those regions as yet unmolested by our
armies, the Wing appeals to the producers OF
the country ard the citizens at home, to re-
trench as much as possible in the use of meat.
The late Rebel Congress proposed to limit
the supply Of meat to citizens to one-half the
amount now consumed. The fact is, says the
Wing, yourselves and our laborers eat too
much meat. No people in the world are such
meat-eaters as we are" 1t then wakes still
more moralizing and says, "meat eating is
purely luxury and habit"
It recommends that the negroes be reduced
to bread and be deprived of meat. The ne
gro it seems, can get along quite well, when
moderately exercised and warmly housed,
without the luxury of meat. eating meat is
bad habit, and our laborers should not be
INDUCED in bad habits"
We expect to chronicle before long similar
dissertations on corn and wheat, written by
the Richmond press for the benefit of oul
juvenile readers of the North.
