Democratic Gains in Michigan

The election returns from this State
are provokingly meager. Enough,
however, have been received to show
considerable democratic gains. 1t is
hardly possible thatthe State has given
5000 abolition majority for Mr.. lin
coin. Michigan gave him, in 1860,
23, 423 majority. This great change
in the sentiments of the people has
been secured by an actual trial of Mr..
Lincoln for period of nearly four
years, and by the exertions Of active
democrats In the State, and through
the press in presenting the real issues
to the people. Col. Fenton is proba-
bly, defeated for Governor, but he has,
in many localities, of which we have
already received the returns, run ahead
of his ticket. His canvass was one Of
the ablest ever made in the State, and
he has earned and will receive the
thanks of the democracy for his Wig
orous exertions in behalf Of the rights
and liberties of the people.--Free

The New York Herald states that
an exchange of 10000 prisoners has
been agreed to, and the first install
ment of rebels left for Savannah Riv-
CT on Tuesday.
Late rebel papers contain another
letter from Congressman Boyce, in
which he explains that his object is to
break down tho wall Of fire which
separates the South from the influence
of peace North, and expresses the
faith that if the Lincoln policy is re-
pudiated in tho election, this could be
secured.
The story published that Atlanta
had been burned and Sherman was
marching directly on Charleston,
