The Rights Of Mr.. Lincoln.

The brilliant genius who presides over
the State Department made the opening
speech in favor of LINCoLN's reelection, at
Albany, something over year ago. The
most logical argument he used in favor OF
his chief, and one which is now being reit
Grated by all the shoddy orators who are
gratifying" his denomination, is that Mr..
LINCOLN was elected President Of the
sehoh United States, but such has been the
combination of circumstances since his &C.
cession that he has only been permitted to
extend his benign sway over q part of his
rightful domain, therefore justice to Mr..
LINCOLN demands that he be reelected and
the war be continued until his power ex.
tends over all the limits Of the country
over which he has right to preside.
This is narrowing the question dow, n to q
very fine point, indeed, and puttip q a very
exalted construction upon the personal
rights of Mr.. LINCOLN. But We are inclined
to the opinion that whom che people come
to understand that th.s war is waged solely
for LINcoLN's benefit, and that the blood
Of the thousands slain in civil strife is split
merely that he may enjoy the satisfaction
of governing the Southern States, they will
be willing to let Mr.. LINCOLN and his
rights" slide back into the obscurity from
which an unlucky chance dragged him
forth. "The greatest good to the greatest
number" has long been the motto of our
government, and may the day be far dis
tant when the American people will be
willing to bestow their lives and their tres.
sure and even surrender their civil and pc.
litical rights for the exaltation Of any one
created man. The olives and fortunes and
sacred honor" of our ancestors were not
pledged for any such ignoble purpose al
this by the brave men Of 76.
To save the Northern states from thu
calamity of Mr.. LINcoLk's reelection AMI
at the same time enable him to obtain the
full measure of his rights" the Louisville
Democrat makes the following suggestion
which we heartily second and commend
to the consideration of Mr.. Seward ani
other shoddy orators during the campaign
while Mr.. Lincoln has this righteous
claim to be President of all the United
States, we must concede that be has been
President of moro than half of them, and
very much President at that With thi
fact, and conceding that It's only compro-
mise, We suggest that for the ensuing fou
years he shall be President Of the othe
half, the Southern Confederacy. We thinl
this will harmonic the contending factions
and it is possible that, under his executive
control, the rebellious States may be {
little more easy to control than they art
under the arch and able taritor Jefferson
Davis. r..

To General Bragg:
Sir: The enemy made two attacks on
our lines this afternoon. They were re-
pulsed with loss. We captured about four
hundred prisoners, including eleven COM
missioned officers. They belong to the
First Brigade of Hancock's corps. All is
quiet at this moment. u
Communication was interrupted on the
railroad to Petersburg, but after tearing up
a mile and half of the track, and pulling
down three hundred yards of telegraph
wire the Federals were so warmly pressed
that they backed out and retreated from
Port Walthal Junction, after making stub
born fight until late in the evening. The
principal fighting occurred two miles from
Chester, when we repulsed the enemy, and
took two lines of their breastworks. We
also captured few prisoners, and some of
the enemy's dead and wounded fell into our
hands. The enemy's troops were comman-
ded by Gilmore. They consisted of about
two thousand FIVE hundred, all told. Our
force consisted of Pickett's division, Our
whole losses were not very heavy.
