special to the Journal says the situation
Is encouraging.
On Friday morning the rebels fell back, and
up to o'clock OF Friday our advance guard
failed TO find them in force.
The Army OF the Potomac has lost heavily,
but it Is now stronger than when it crossed
the Rapidan. Neither are our other armies
each operating against the rebel capital, idle.
One by one the lines OF retreat from Rich
mond have been cut, and each one severed d.
minshes the chance OF receiving supplies by
those ia that beleaguered city.
There is authority for believing that on Fri
day the only railroad leading from Richmond
available for the receipt of supplies or for re-
treat was the Danvile Railroad. The rebel:
may escape over this into the regions OF North
Carolina, unless Grants strategy is completed
by its occupation. Should that road be DIES
troyed, the rebels must cut their way through
encrcling armies or capitulate.

lions of electors for the most numerous
branch of the State Legislatures" there

nine States. Connecticut and Rhode Is
land, being under the old royal charters,
could have none. South Carolina, by its
Constitution of l776, allowed negroes to
vote, but in l77S the privilege was re-
stricted to "every white mar" &c. In
Delaware, by act of February 3, 1857,
emancipated slaves and their issue were
debarred "the privilege of voting at cleo

answering to his name on that question,
Alexander H. Coffroth also of Pennsylva-

upon Mr.. Bailey's head and drew it down
over his face, accompanying the action
with words abusive of Mr.. Bailey's vote
and unfit to be printed Mr.. Bailey,

down and dealt him powerful blow

WHAT SORT OF MAN ANDY JOHNSON
Is.--If any one has any doubt on this
subject, in view Of the responsible posi-
ton to which Mr.. Johnson is evidently
destined, he has but to turn to any part
of the noble Tennesseean's record since
the outbreak of the rebellion. In his
famous reply to Senator Lane of Oregon
in the first debates on the subject, when
asked what he would do were he Presi-
dent of the United States, he said:
The distinguished Senator from Or
egon asks me what would do with the
rebels, were / President of the United
States 2 l would have them arrested. I
scoaM hare them tried, and if found guilty, By
the ETERNAL Con 1 ,could hare them EX-
ECUTED."
This was no hasty ebullition of feel
ing, but the language of elaboration, as
is shown by the unvarying course of
Mr. johnson ever since. During the last
spring he addressed his old neighbors
Of East Tennessee in a speech from
which we take the following extracts:
"The time has arrived when treason
must be made odious, when traitors
must be punished-impoverished their
property taken from them whether it be
their horses, their lands or their negroes
and given to the innocent, the honest,
the loyal, upon whom the calamities of
this unprovoked and wicked rebellion
have fallen with such crushing weight
What has brought this war upon
us Let me answer in one word, let me
speak it so loud that the deafest man
in this multitude can hear me-Slavery I
Hundreds of voices: "That's so, that's
Gods truth.p) Men talk about the
constitution and state rights. They
sheer at the emancipation proclamation,
and call it a tyrannical assumption of
authority, a despotic usurpation of pow
er. Listen to what i now say : all
such talk is the language of trea-
son."
Sometimes the clouds appear dark
and neutrality-suspicious. | confess to a
feeling OF gloom but when L remember
that there is a God, | am encouraged.
Though not as religious as | ought to

Col, RIPLRy's "YANKRB CAVALRY. -

Goldsboro', N. c., May q, p. MA

THE ENRoLLxESr,-The enrolment of
this Congressional District is completed,
and embraces nine thousand one hundred
and ninety-three names. This is some
two thousand less than the enrolment
Of last year.
The roll of this town contains eight
hundred and eleven names something
over one hundred less than that OF last
year, we believe.
As matter of comparison, it may be
worth while to mention that the roll oil

Instances are common of the most az
fiictive separation of family relations by
this unnatural war. Brothers, and even
parents and children, are found in the

most touching cases OF this kind is that
of a son OF the Confederate President JEFF

fighting to crush the rebellion which his

the son of Eliza, late slave to the pa

The CLEVELAND CONVENTION. - New
Workers and Others who attended the
Cleveland Convention were opposed to
making nominations, but could do moth
ing with the crazy heads who ruled the
affair by force of numbers. Mr.. Geo. W.
Demers of New York, made speech
in the Convention from which we extract
the following:
We who came here from New York,
did so with the understanding that the
gathering was to be in the form of q
mass meeting for advice and consulta-
ton. Now that we are here, we discov-
er determination to nominate, and not
only this but to nominate certain man.
Let us look the question in the face
What right have we take such action
We are, in our present form, a body rep
resenting nobody but ourselves. I'M
doubtedly, there is a very strong feeling
of sympathy in the public mind with
objects of this movement But as yet it
is only scattered and incoherent quail
ity. The problem is whether we had
best suffer it to remain so, or whether
we shall endeavor to organize and direct
it. Gentlemen said that we should NOM
mate first and organize afterward. How
will this work I? The vote upon the res
olution to act by States showed force
here from single section of single
State, sufficiently large to control our
movements, and disfranchise all the 9th
er delegations. Can these persons claim
that they are properly charged, here and
now, with the prerogative of selecting
candidates? Then what farce this Con-
vention becomes. New York is to have
no voice-Pennsylvania is to have no
voice-the entire Atlantic seaboard is to
be unheard-and you of Missouri are to
give us ticket which to all practical
intents anc purposes, you might as well
have put forth at a ward caucus in your
city of st. Louis, Do you expect to ac-
complish anything against your. oppo-
nents on such basis of action? You
might as well undertake to row an oys-
ter scow with one oar up the rapids Of
Niagara.
