The Richmond Wig OF Friday last has the
following editorial:
THE YANKEE ELECTION.
Our Information Is next to positive thsi Lin
coin has been reelected. Few have doubted
from the first that this would be the result, and
fewer still will regret 1t. For ourselves, we
feel that the great cause for which we are
struggling has escaped real peril. The policy
of Cancellation, of concession, ard cajolcry
which Mcclellan would have attempted was
something more to he dreaded than Lincoln's
armiec and navy. There was great reason TO
apprehend that such policy would deceive,
demoraliZe, and divide the South.
With Lincoln there Ia no fear OF this. Our
people will stand as one man. With him It Is
united South against divided North. With
Mcclellan II might have been a united North
against divided South. In which event all
that we have been striving for In this bloody
four years struggle would have been lost. But
Lincoln Is 10 continue to be the master OF the
Yankees, and the spectre of reconstruction
| yanishes forever.
DESERVING LTNCoLN's DEsrorisM.
Among the dGserters who have come into our
lines from the north side Of the James Ia a
Yankee Colonel with German name. Our
informant gives us his name, but we do not
care TO make 1t public.
The EnYtirtr OF the llLA i5 exercised in rc
gard 10 the result of the Presidential election,
and says;
Lincoln has been reelected President of the
United States. h S fret election could not
surprise any one, for he was wholly unknown,
but his reelection alter four years experience
OF his character and capaClty, will not faI! to
Impress the world with a very low opinion of
popular government. SO fur as the people OF
these states are interested, the re- election of
Lincoln 10 entirely satisfactory. For Il. he is
the right man in the right place"
We would not have had him defeated, but
give all the Influence OF the Enquirer to him. !
Our reasons were entirely selfish. We prefer
the management of this war to remain In the
came hands that have directed II for the last
four years.
We prefer au ignorant, brutal fool as Com
mandef .ln'Chlef OF the enemy to any other
man. He suits us entirely. Gen. Mcclellan
might eaye given us more trouble. We have
taken the measure Of Lincoln, and know his
entire worlhlessness. The four years more OF
war, which his election now makes sure, would
not have been avoided by the election of
Mcclellan, but might have been conducted
with much more ability, and given us much
more trouble, than Lincoln can possibly com
mand. This reelection Of Lincoln binds our
people hrmer together, and prevents the dlvls.
ION and dlscOrd which the election of McClel-
Ian might have introduced. We know that IL
means continucd war, and our country will
prepare for 1t.
Ihere 10 no prospect for PEACE, and II is bet.
ter for us that we should hnOw the purpose of
the enemy In this matter than to have been d.
yided IN opinion by the hopes Of peace, which
the defeat Of Lincoln would have raised among
our people. Let our authorities begin immC
diately the work Of recognizing the army, con.
sohdating the regiments, filling up the ranks
improving the cavalry, and preparing for the
sprlpg campaign.
