The Kentucky Election.

We have as yet received but few returns
of the Kentucky election, held last week
but what we had received indicate pretty
clearly that the Democracy have swept the
State. This may also be inferred from the
piteous howlS that come up from the Abo-
ltion Newspaper offices of Cincinnati
Martial law had been proclaimed all over
the State, and the Abolitionsts supposed
that under its benign influence they could
easily achieve II victory, even though they
knew themselves to be in contemptiblc
minority And then, General Burbridge
also came to their aid, throughout his entire
satrapy, with his military orders, proscrib-
ing candidates that he didn't want elected
and refusing to let their names appear on
the poll books--as in the case of Judge Du-
vail in the District Of the Appellate Court,
opposite Cincinnati, But it seems the Dem
ocrats were not to be put down this time,
in any such manner, Nothing dauntcd
they put George Robertson, Of Lexington,
on the track as their candidate, the day be-
fore the election and when it was too late for
Burbrdge, the military satrap, to suppress
him. The result is, that Robertson has
nearly three thousand majority over his Alb
clifton competitors NJ Nj, Benton, of Gov
iugton. It's intimated that an attempt
will be made to prohibit the Judge elect
from entering upon the discharge of his du-
tics, We hope nothing of the sort will be
done, The people who elected him will, OF
course, see to it that he is inducted into OF
! fee.

I.;sRcOln's Last Trick,

Honest Old Abe is a great master of
low cunning. The most arrant knavc that
ever piled the vocation of politician could
not be more expert in the art Of Offering
bribcs to prejudice. In the Niagara ncgoti-
alton trick he has out-Linconed Lincoln,
craltiIy making strong appeal forabolition
support while putting a seeming afiront on
Mr.. Greeley. one of the foremost apostles of
the Abolition gospel Mr.. Lincoln knows
that the sincere Aboitionists distrust and
dcspisc him; that they hate Seward, whom
he retains as his chief adviser; that they.
are inst now exceedingly sore and sour be-
cause he has forced out of his cabinet the
man whom they most wished him to retain
in it, There was imminent danger of an cx-
plosion in the Republican party when Mr..
Lincoln seized this opportune occasion to
proclaim himself so thorough-going an abo-
litioniSt that he would not consent to the
restoration of the Union without the aban.
donmcnt of slavery. He calculated that the
dcnunciaton which this declaration would
provoke in the Democratic press would ad-
vcrtisc his abolltionism, and operate as n
certificate of character to that wing of his
party which is in most danger of deserving
him. Ilcwll keep this new abolition pledge
until after the election, when he will proba-
bly, disappoint abolitionists and Unionists
alike by making diSgraccful peace on the
basis of final separation. If he is reelected
the Union will neither be restored nor sla-
very abolished; all Mr.. Lincoln talk about
doing either is trick to retain his hold on
power, n refusal to consent to reunion
till slavery is voluntarily abandoned by the
South, is equivalent to a determination that
the Union shall never be restored -Er.

The Fighting Ht Atlanta.

We give the Cincinnati Commercials &C
count of the recent battle at Atlanta as dc
tailed by its correspondent.
The rebel accounts say Generals Stewart
and Loring are slightly wounded. They
place their loss at 1900 killed and wounded
and claim to have held their own in the bat
tie. A dispatch dated Macon, August .,
says:
The raiders who cut the Macon and West.
ern Railroad were driven towards Newman
by Jackon's and IIarrison's cavalry. Their
advance reached Newman iustaiter the arri-
val of the train carrying Roddys command
to Atlanta He attacked them in front, and
the Yankees broke and fled, leaving about
500 prisoners, six pieces of artillery, and 700
horses, in our hands. The rest sought to
escape across the Chattahooche, and it was
they would be taken. Three pieces
of artillery, taken from Stoneman, have
been left here GOO horses and 800 mules
are reported to have been captured from the
same.

CresluIOlIs People.

There are persons who read the Lincoln
journals who believe that General Grant is
still pursuing his original plans, and that all
the battles and movements from the time
he met Lee at Spottsylvania, in May, up to
the present time were iorcscen by Grant,
and resulted exactly as ho designed before
he left Washington. They think the re-
pulse at Spottsylvania-tho defeat in the
Wildcrness-thc march to the North Anna
from thence to the Jamcs--thc defeat at
at Coal Haibor--the change of base to Pc
tersburg and the two bloody defeats before
that town, were what General Grant expec.
ted and were part of his comprehensive
plan for the capture of Richmond.

The Nub of the Matter.

The heartless politicians of the Rcbublic-
an party are attempting to throw dust into
the eyes of their party followers, by harp
ing on the fact that the recent rebel peace
commissioners at Niagara, came there with
out an appointment from jeff Davis.
This circumstances, if negotiations had been
entered into, would have been important.
But Mr. Lincoln refused to negotiate either
with them or with any body else unless the
South agreed to abandon slavery as well as
come back to the Union He said that com
ing back to the Union was not enough, but
the war must go on until they consent to
free all the negroes. This is the nub of the
whole matter, and it is quite in vain for the
abolition tricksters to attempt to blind sens
ible men in their party to the true issue.
The whole matter Is narrowed down to a
single point, and that point is made in
black and white over Mr.. Lincon's own
name. He says no terms of peace need be
offered him unless they embrace the aban-
donment of slavery by the South. To
make good that declaration, he forthwith
issued call for another half million of
white men to spill their blood and lay down
their lives in an effort to force the South
to adopt northern notions in regard to ne
gro slavery. -Ncrdrk Adrocate.

Statistics Of Carnage.

A writer in the Jefferson County IN. W
Tnon has made some calculations relative
to the number of men killed thus far in this
war; and gives the following results:
There has been enough already slain to
cncircc our State, if their dead bodies were
laid in one continuous line.
IF placed in coffins and corded they
would count thirty nine thousand cords.
''lf laid in wall twenty five feet thick
and thirty feet high, it would be over one
fourth miles in length.
IF five feet thick and ten feet high, the
pile would reach across this State
IF piled upon ten acre-lot, they would
be nearly two hundred feet high.
And if laid upon the ground they would
cover every foot of soil in Jefferson county.
"Seventy-fve thousand tuns of human
blood have been spilled in Dixie's soil
enough to turn. every spindle in Lowell, and
if the fears were added to the flood it would
turn the machinery of the continent and
the unvailing sighs would fill every ocean
sail.
"The one-half has not yet been told.
The millions of wounded and manned for
life must be taken into account in summing
up the grand total of evils incident to this
bloody and fanatical war;
And the end is not vct.'

to stitle the freedom Of speech and of the

Lincoln I'm 1861 and 1864.

In his inaugural address, delivered March
18th, 1861, Mr.. Lincoln used the following
language on the slavery question
Il declare that have no purpose directly or
indirectly, to interfere with the institution OF
slavery In the states where II exists. believe
l have no lawful right to do 80, and l have no
The right OF each state to order and control its
own domestic institutions according to It's own
ance Of power on which the perfection and Gu
durance OF our political fabric depend"
This sentiment was approved by the mass
Of people of all parties. But Mr.. Lincoln
violates his promises and pledges with as
much fecility as the most abandoned outlaw
in the world. On the 18th day of July,
1864, he wrote the following letter and had
il published everywhere:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WAsHISoroN, July 18th, 1864. J
To whom may concern!
Any proposition which embraces the restora-
tion OF peace, the integrity of the whole Union,
comes by and with an authority that can con
troll the armies now Mt war against the United
Executive Government OF the United states,
and Will be met by liberal terms on other sub
bearers OF them shall have safe conduct both
ways.
tSignedl ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
His declaration that he will only consent
TO peace aud Union on condition that slave
ry be abandoned is so horrible in the eyes of
nil right thinking men, and has rendered
him so obnoxious to tho honest masses that
his overwhelming defeat at the polls is gen.
orally conceded
Though two and half millions have been
taken to the wars, and million sleeps the
sleep that knows no waking, the abandon
ment of slavery is the only terms on which
Lincoln will consent to peace and Union.
Though the country is bankrupted and
almost every football is that of the tax.
gathcror, we can have neither peace or I'm,
ion until slavery is exterminated
Though the land is filed with widows and
orphan children, the proclamation of tn,
widow maker demands five hundred thou
sand more to be slain for the abandonment
of slavery.
Though tho war was commenced to re-
store the Union and for that brave men
went forth to battle, tho King now pro-
claims no Peace no Union, until slavery is
abolished.
Defeat the tickle Lincoln, who is success
ful in nothing save making widows and or
phan children and we will stay the slaugh-
ter, and again enjoy that blissful heritage,
tho Union our fathers made.
