being Savannah, for which place he would
leave on the Sth, having first destroyed At
lanta. 1t was thought he would touch at Ma

route is 200 miles, with no rivers to pass, and
through the most fiourishing part of Georgia.
Milledgeville, the capital, will be reached in
six days. he will have rations for SO days, but
expects to find supplies and forage ON the
route. His force will be from 100000 10000
fully equipped. ' g 100
Doubtless there will be considerable destruc-
ton of property on the way, and tens of thou
sands of huddled slaves in Georgia will be freed
and added to the army. Troops have gone
from Atlanta TO the Tennessee to destroy
all the bridges and all important railroad
routes. ~ go, 4.s-l ~ $500

army to take up Hood, and is already prepared

Rensarks Of president Lincoln u. response 20
- f~-s a Sere1,0de "a

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.
5eVeral Lincoln clubs of the District OF
lSoinmbia serenaded President Lincoln to-
night. He spoke as follows:
IL mas long been grave question whether
any government, not too strong for liberties
Vi us people, can be strong enough to main
IAN It's own expense in great emergencies.
On this point the present rebellion has brought
our republic to a severe test, and the APresi-
Dental election occurring in regular course
during the rebellion adde not a little to the
strain. II the loyal people united were put
TO the utmost OF their strength BY the rebel
lion, must they not fail when divided and par
TALLY paralyzed by political war among
sthemseles? But the election was necessity.
We cannot have a free Government without
elections, and If rebellion could force us to
forego or postpone national election 1t might
fairly claim to have already conquered us.
The strife of the election is but human nature
practically applied to the facts of the case.
What has occurred in this case must ever oc-
cur in similar cases. Human nature will not
change. In any future great national trial
compared with the men OF this, we shall have
as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as
bad and as good. Let us therefore study the
incidents OF this as philanthropy to learn wis
dow from, and none of them as wrongs to be
retenged. Cheers He who is most OPP
posed to treason can receive most OF the poe
pies votes. (Applause.) 1t also shows to the
extent yet known that we have more men
now than we had when the war began. Gold
is good in its place, but living, brave and pa
triotic men are better than gold. (Cheers) Il
But the rebellion continues, and now that
the election is over, may not all having COM
mon interest reunite in common effort TO
save our common country. (Cheers.) For
my own part, / have striven and shall strive
to avoid placing any obstruction in the way.
(Cheers.) So long as / have been here have
not willingly planted thorn in any mans
bosom. While am duly sensible to the high
compliment of a reelection, and duly grateful
to Almighty God for having directed my
countrymen to right conclusions, as 7 think
for their goods, it adds nothing to my salts
faction that any other man may be dlsap-
pointed by the result. (Cheers.j May ask
those who have not differed with me to Join
with me in this same spirit to those who have.
And now let me close by asking three hearty
cheers for our brave soldiers and seamen and
their gallant and skillful commanders. G
+ The three cheers were enthusiastically
given, accompanied by music and sound of
cannon. The crowd subsequently called on
Secretaries Seward and Wells, Attorney Gen
eral Bates and Gen. Ord, who spoke, and on
Secretaries Fessenden, Stanton and Usher,
who did not appear. avg = ,g'ia ri

Temperance Meeting.

TO the Editor Of the Presss - -
Next Wednesday afternoon, at 2 O'Clock, the
friends OF Temperance in Cumberland County
VIII meet in Sacearaapa TO report the state Of
the cause in their several localities, and to de-
wise means for its more vigorous and extern
siye promotion.
1t is hoped and expected, now that the pub
lie mind is partially Withdrawn from another
SUBJECT of immense Importance, that renewed
attention will be given to the matter of intern
perance and its remedies; for it will not be
denied that much of the benefit arising from a
victory over slavery will be lost if that other
foe to the human ace-intemperance-s shall
be suffered to prevail, Il HUMAEIrY. s 1a.

AcKNoyLEpeEMENF. Mr.. q. r. Perry, of
Rockland, whose son, while attending the
Westbrook Seminary, has been dangerously
sick, wishes us to say that he considers his re-
covery owing mainly to the watchful care and
Hnwearled attention n Mr.. AcpsoIlllister, the
PIincipal Of that institution. Notwithstand-
ing the tax on the time and energies of Mr..
McCollister, he watched by the bedside of this
young man as long as there was any immedi-
sts danger, Mr.. Perry feels under the deep
est obligations to Mr.. McCollister and others
who rendered such valuable aid TO his son in
the hour of distressing and dangerous illness,
the grateful remembrance Of which he shall
ever cherish. e
