SHERMAN.

After forcing his way straight through the
enemy's territory, over mountains and across
rivers, in the face of obstacles the most stu
pendous and in the midst of perils the most
complcated-so fertile in expedients that
he completely outwitted all the rebel de-
signs. driving their entire army before him,
until he planted his banners in triumph in
Atlanta-Sherman is again on the wing, and
his serried ranks are maje5tically and surely
advancing towards the sea What Is to be
the Immediate point of attack no one can
tell Rebel strategists an,l Northern news
paper correspondents are alike confounded.
Whether he is moving on Charleston, Mo
bile, or Savannah, is not known But what
ever be his destination, no one en-ertainS
the slightest doubt that he viii reach it, and
hold it, His generalship and his army are
both superior to any that can be brought a
gainst him. Even the vaunted Lee him
self. is no match for Sherman The annals
of history will be searched in vain, for a sol
dier more skillful and accomplished.
1t viii be but few days more until the
result of this new movement will be known.
Meanwhile the most intense anxiety pre-
walls both North and South We have an
abiding confidence, however, that the great
project, whatever it is, will be successfully
accomplished, and that the hero of Atlanta
and his veteran troops, will again cover
themselves with glory.

GEN. SHERIDAN.

1t was happy thought Of President LIN
coin, in accepting the resignation Of Me
Clelian, to fill the yancancy in the Regular
Army. by the appointment of Gen. PHILIP
SHERIDAN 1t will be remembered that
Mcclellan, in a speech made at Orange New
jersey, before the election-the speech in
which the name Of Gen. GRANT was so care
fully omitted-paid very high compliment
to SHERIDAN, so that his friends will doubt
less be satisfied that President LINCOLN in
accepting his resignation. filed the vancan-
cy on his own recommendation.
Nobly, indeed, has SHERIDAN earned his
promotion. The victory of Cedar Greek,
snatched, as it was, from the very jaws of
defeat, stamps him one of the most skilful
generals of the age. On his return from
Washington he heard, while still twenty
miles away,
The terrible grumble and rumble and roar
Telling the battle more!'
Putting spurs to his horse, he dashed off
with the speed of the wind, arriving only to
find his men dispirited, broken, scattered,
flying
What was done-what to do-a glance told him both,
Then striking his spurs with a terrible oath,
He dashed down the line mid storm of huzzas,
And the of retreat checked its course there
because
The sight of the master compelled it to pause =
The broken and demoralized ranks rallied
to his electric call, gathered their flying col
umns into solid line, turned their faces
again toward the enemy, charged over the
ground vet fresh with the imprint of their
retreating footsteps, scattered death and
destruction all around them, turned defeat
into victory, and sent the rebel horde once
more ''wHIRLrNG up the valley" If SHER-
IDAN had achieved no other victory, this
alone entitled him 10 his promotion.

LET BY-G0EES BE BY-GONEs.

We have been desirous, since the election,
70 alIay. as far as possible, all animosity and
bad feeling that may have been produced
during the excitement and turmoil of the
canvass. Hence we have no reply to make
70 the bitter or angry things that have been,
or may be said on the other side The peo-
pie have decided the great questions which
were before them. and it is the duty of eve
~ good citizen to accept and acquiesce in
that decision We have no disposition to
make the discharge of this duty more diff
cult OF unpleasant than it would otherwise
be. We are perfectly willing to overlook,
and shall endeavor to forget. all the ascerbi-
ties Of the campaign and sincerely hope
that patriotic men OF all parties and creeds,
viii devote their energies TO the iulfiiment
of the great national task before us-that Of
bringing the war TO q speedy and triumph
ant termination.
Indeed the victory achieved by the re-
election Of Mr.. Lincoln. was not party vic
tory. lie was supported by men Of all the
old political organization5-men who threw
aside, for the time. personal preferences and
party creeds, and united in his support be
cause they firmly believed that upon his sue
cess, not as a man, but as the representative
of policy depended the salvation of the
country. Nor were all those who supported
Gen. VI CIellan necessarily in sympathy with
our enemies. Thousands Of good. honest,
and patriotic citizens. believed that Gen.
VI Clelan would not be governed by the
treasonable programme Of the Chicago Con
vention, if elected, and therefore yielded
him their cordial and hearty support They
are none the less ready to sustain their gov
ernment, and viii be found on the side of
their country, faithfully discharging every
duty that devolvcs upon them. Let US all,
then, endeavor to act in the spirit of the
President, who, in speech on the occasion
Of a serenade after the election, thus addres-
sed his fellow citiz ,ns:
Now that the election Is over, may not
all having a common interest reunite in a
common effort TO save our common country?

and shall strive to avoid placing any obsta-
Gle in the way. Cheers. So long as

thorn in any mans S bosom. While 1 am
duly sensible to the high compliment of a
reelection, and duly grateful, as / trust, to
Almighty God for having directed my coun-
trymen to right conclusion, as / think for
their good, it adds nothing to my satistac-
ton that any other man may be disappoint-
ed by the result [Cheers May | ask
those who have not differed with me to join

General Early's Black Flag.

WASHINGTON, Nov I6.--Brig. Gen. Ty-
Ter has forwarded to the Adjutant General S
office the black flag captured from Early $
command last August, near North Noun
tains. He says, the flag was in charge of
two rebels, and was set up against tree
while one of them went in search of water.
C. II. Marsh detective, who had been
watching the flag from nightfall, deternin-
ed to get it, if possible. Springing upon
the man left alone, he secured him, took
the flag from the pole, and brought the flag
and his prisoner safely through and within
our lines

Shabby Treatment.

1t was obvious, during the recent canvass,
that the support yielded to Mcclellan. by
the 'peace-wing' OF the opposition, was any
thing but hearty and cordial. He was bit
ter pill to Eaiandigham, Seymour, Wood
and their followers Accordingly the New

following style:
1t is rumored that a pressure viii be
brought 10 bear upon the new Legislature
OF New Jersey to secure the selection Of
General Mcclellan to represent that State
in the Federal Senate, for the six years
term. to follow Mr. Ten Eyck whose term
expires on the 4th Of next March. We
hope that the Democracy Of New Jersey viii
be Oh the alert to defeat such a movement
General Mcclellan Is linked 70 the corps OF
the War Democracy. and the most fitting
place for both is political Sepulchre. New
jersey can count among her old citizens,
identified for years back with her Democrat
ic triumphs. many staunch and consistent
Democrat with Il pure record, TO represent
her in the Federal Congress. There Is no
need that she should take up one who Is al
most stranger TO her soil. and whose polit-
ical antecedents are not associated with her
own, except in the single instance Of Pres
idential campaign that conclusiyely demon
strated his political weakness. There are
men who are part Of the political history
Of New Jersey, who have labored in her IN
terest for years, who have been faithful to
her Democracy throughout all the phases of
popular opinion, and who deserves a better
reward than TO be Sighted for one whose
citizenship Is of mushroom growth, and
whose political existence has been confined
thus far within the brief but fatal record Of

The Columbia County Conspirators,

The finding and orders of the Military
Commission at Harrisburg, to try the CO.
lnmbia County. Penn'a, conspirators, have
been published. John Rantz is found gull
ty of combining with other. persons to resist
the draft by armed organization against the
military authority, and advising citizens not
to pay bounties, but TO save their money to
buy arms and ammunition The sentence
which has been approved is that he be i'm
prisoned at Fort Mifflin for two years, and
pay 81, 900. Samuel Kline was found gull
ty of the same offence, and of threatening
to shoot the Deputy-Provost Marshall of
Bloomsbury, and is also but without fine,
sentenced to Fort Mif11in for two years,
William Appleman, accused of milder form
of treason, he not having threatened vio-
lence or counseled arming, is consigned to
Fort Miffiin until he pays $500 fine, his i'm
prisonment not, however, to exceed one
year. The trial of the other conspirators
is to be commenced soon.

GEN. RHTLERlS PLAN.


The speech of Gen. Butler recently .dellv-
cred in New FORK, viii be found in full IN
another column Il has produced tTemen-
dous futter among the Democrats. The
most blatant of them here have been congrat-
ulating themselves upon what they choose
to call the adoption of their peace policy by
the Administration, ,as foreshadowed in Gen.
Butler speech But there is marked diff
ference between this personal plan Of Gen.
Butler, and that proposed in the Chicago
Platform, or limited at in VI Clellan' letter
Gen Butler demands no cessation of hos
tilities proposes no policy Of concilia-
ton, and has not q word to say about an
ultimate convention of the States His
plan differs in no wise from that already a.
dopted By the Administration. He onlysu
gests that we shall once again hold out to
" the deluded people Of the South the Of
fer already made by President Lincoln, and
rejected by them-and then, IN the event Of
their refusal Ito come back. to meet them
with sharp quick, decisive war which
= shall bring the matter to an end, and to
the erfingUishmeat cf such men WHERE
& EVER they a,ay BE-
NJ CIellan peace, would have been a
peace with seperation-a peace soon to end
in eternal war Buffers peace. will be a
peace with Union-a peace honorable, COM
plete, lasting. VI Clellan's peace, would be
on the ground that the war is a failure.
Buffers peace, viii be based on the sure
foundation of its success. II Clellan' peace
would have been negotiated on the basis of
our surrender. Buffers peace will involve
the surrender Of the rebels VI Clellan'
peace would have been the impeachment Of
the whole policy OF the Administration.
Butler peace will be its amplest yindidica-
ton. N Clellan' : peace would admit the u
bility Of q minority to control the Constitu-
tionaily expressed viii Of the majority. But
lers peace will silence the herisy forever.
VI Clellan' peace would sacrifice every great
principle Of popular government for which
we have been struggling. Buffers peace
will preserve them intact, and viii transmit
our Republican institutions, not only unim-
pared. but improved. TO our children, and
10 their posterity, and to the millions who
shall gather and rest beneath our starry flag
down to ''the last syllable Of recorded time.
The two plans are radically and essen
italy different. The one was the natural
offspring of sympathy with treason, and has
just been rejected with loathing and scorn
by the overwhelming majority Of the loyal
masses, because it involved shameful and
ignominious surrender to those in arms a
gainst the government The other is the
noble and magnanimous impulse Of loyal
aud brave man, who, esteeming country a.
bove party, yea, above fortune and life,
would, in the hour Of triumph, offer large
and generous terms to the people deluded
into armed resistance to the rightful author
ity Of The Government. The one merited
the indignant condemnation it everywhere
received, while the other commends itself to
the calm and dispassionate consideration Of
the Government md the people.

Snain and Chill,

Another and even more striking instance
Of the Spanish lust for conquests in Ameri-
ca has recently come to light in Chill. \
correspondent Of the london Times furnish
es the following facts: There lies off the
coast of Chill small Archipelago known as
the islands of Chloe. among the inhabitants
of which, mostly Indians, person named
Anti had obtained great influence. A ru-
NOR having reached the Prefect that con-
spiracy was on foot among the natives, Autil
was arrested on suspicion, and in his posses
sion were found various documents showing
him to be the head of an organization hay
ing for Its object to declare in favor OF Spain,
ana to deliver up to that country as much of
ChiIian territory as possible. Antil, it ap-
pears, had visited all the islands of the
Archipelago, the province of Naldivia, and
the Araucanian territory, and had induced
thousands Of natives to become accomplces
in his scheme. Fortunately the conspiracy
was discovered before any serious disturb
ance had taken place.
