The Salvation of Richmond DE.
pends ON the Defeat OfShermnn.

DRUID" the famous Baltimore cores
pondent of the ". Y. World under date of
the Sd inst, wrote:
NV information in regard to what the
Confederate leaders expect of General
Grants army is this: They expect an at
tack on Richmond, but that it will not he
made till General Sherman is in position
to cooperate with Grant; and not ut all,
unless Sherman's army, in an effective con-
dition, does reach some point where it can
cooperate with Grant. Everything, now,
therefore, according to their view of the
subject. depends upon General Sherman
If they can defeat him, or cripple his army
before he reaches the sea, they feel sure that
no general assault upon their lines at Rich
mond will be made by General Grant. To
defeat General Sherman. therefore, or to
cripple his army. is the great work which
the Confederate leaders are striving to ac-
complish.

So hearty and rugged and brave,

'Tis true, he's pretty Young wife.

But shall man risk the Nations dear lie
Because n frail woman hath charmsr

But there is young Truman LeBloss.
Whose mother is widowed and old, ~ r
And he has but little to do, ,yt
Since their farm by the Sheriff was sol
If he should enlist and get shot,
As many a one has before.
His mother could come on tho town.,
And ask aims at the wealthy mal's door.

In certain quarters the people are urged
to make efforts to promote active volun-
teering, SO that the next draft which will
undoubtedly soon be rendered necessary,
will not find them unprepared. Before the
election we began to prepare the public
mind for another draft, and for doing SO we
were reprimanded with insolence. 1t ap-
pears to be in order now to tell the people
that they voted for more drafts and for more
taxes, at the late election; and, that having
done SO, it is now their duty to commence
to respond accordingly.

The foregoing figures exhibit two results
that are specially noteworthy, viz:
/. The Republican majority in Ohio, has
dwindled so largely in one year, that Lin
coins majority is upwards Of 10000 less than
that of Brough in 1868.
3. The vote polled for the Democratic
candidate for President, is several thousand
greater than was ever before polled by the
Democracy of Ohio. N00, for the FIRST
TIME in the history Of the State, the Democratic
vote OF Ohio not only touches the long-de-
sired 100000, but is several thousand In eX-
cess of that number. In this latter fact the
Democracy have good reason for hopeful
ness and pleasant reflection. Neither de-
nlnciations, threats or obloquy, nor the
dscouragements which the base and i'm
proper use Of official power to CONTROL the
election, were liable to beget, proved suf-
ficient to induce Ohio Democrats to talter in
their duty. They went to the ballot box less
in hope Of carrying the State for McClel-
Ian, than to record the earnest and respect
ful protest of more than two hundred thou
sand Union-loving citizens OF Ohio against
the wisdom and humanity of continuing
the policy by which war that was to have
ended in ninety days had already been pro-
longed through four years of blood. That
protest, in which more than q million ana
half of citizens of other States sOlemnly
united, is now on record, and those who
made it will cheeriully leave it there TO
abide the judgment of the future.-Ne,cdrk
