Wheeler's movements constitute the great topic 81

him is Of the most encouraging character.
The Telegraph thinks that With eight thousand brave

there is no doubt that General Hood will take advan-
sge of tbs depletion in strength Of the YaDks, army

The Chicago Tribune says There
is no part Of the State where the gains
have been more satisfactory than in
the Thirteenth District This was until
the present election overwhelmingly
democratic Since FIRST the district was
Organized it has been relied upon TO
furnish to order all required democratic
majorities TO overcome TIE Republican
1naiorities in the Northern part of the
State, and in that regard it has never
disappointed party expectations. If
our readers viii scrutinize carefully the
reported majorities and compare them
with the vote of 1860, they will discoV
er evidences of a change Of sentiment
that almost staggers belief Take the
county Of Johnson, that in 1860 gave
Mr.. Lincoln but 30 votes, and Mr.,
Douglas / sos. This year that insigni6s
cant tally has swollen until it overtops
the Democratic vote by over 1000
This is wonderful And there are
changes in other counties in the dis
trict equally marked and equally won
derful This notice of the victory in
the Thirteenth District would be in
complete were not special and grateful
mention made of the Efforts of General
Haynie, General John A Logan, Gen
eral 0glesby, General Palmer, and

have contributed their time and talents
10 secure this glorious result"
