Troops to the Front.

The election being over, and all the
great conspiracies nipped in the bud, a
steady stream of soldiers are pouring TO
the front. The Louisville Journal of Fri
day, says reinforcements have been reach
ing General Thomas at the rate of three
thousand men per day, and still the stream
pours steadily forward. He is strong
enough to assume the offensive and pre-
vent Hood from moving so as to embar-
rass in the slightest manner the operations
of Sherman. The exact position of the
two armies, for the present, is not disclos-
ed. We are assured that everything is
working well, and soon the sun will burst
forth bright in beauty, glorious hope, full
of splender, and every beam be joyous
with the fash of victory.

The Florida Affair.

Paris papers assert that Brazil has
broken off relations with the United States
in consequence Of the Florida affair, and
that England has called upon the great
powers to protest collectively against the
seizure of that vessel in Brazilian waters.
There. can be no doubt that Capt. COLLINS
Of the steamer Wachusett, in attacking and
capturing the Florida in neutral port,
committed a fragrant breach of the law
Of nations, and it is nor unlikely that our
government will be obliged to make ample
reparation for it by humble apology, dis
missal of Capt. COLLINS, and restoration
Of the Florida to the Brazilian authorities.
If the act had been committed in an Eng
lsh or French port, Mr.. SEwARD's apology
would not have been delayed. The "war
power" can override our own consttu-
tons and laws, National and State, with
impunity, and it has done SO on many 90
casions, but it cannot safely violate the
av of nations

Fanatieism Run Mad,

There was sermon preached in Mil
waukee on the Sunday before the late
election by Reverend Mr.. TowNE, in
which he INDUCED in the following bias
phemous rhapsody. His congregation, if
not as mad as he, ought to provide him
with strait jacket:
The election of Tuesday involves issues
which an angel might tremble to think of.
The interests suspended upon the stake move
earth, and hell, and heaven. The armies of
the Union and her navies are waiting to hear
from it. The dark marshalled hosts of treason
are waiting to hear from it. The friends and
the foes of liberty on the other side of the At
lantic, and in every part Of the civilized globe,
are waiting to hear from it, God on His eter-
nal throne is waiting to hear from it, that He
may see whether. as nation, we will forsake
the sin and keep Him, or keep the sin and be
fOrsake en- by him.

The War In Georgia.

The Richmond papers of the 2sd con-
tain rumor that Gen SHERMAN has cap
tured Ailledgeville, the capital of Georgia
The World says Richmond papers of the
Oath confirm the truth of the rumor. Mil
ledgvfle is the county seat of Baldwin
county, and is situated on the west bank
Of Ocones river, 1853 miles Northwest of
Savannah. 1t contains State and Con-
federate arsenals, and manufacturing
establishments. Before SHERMAN arrived
at Ailledgeville there was general stam-
pede of the members of the legislature,
and the public funds were removed to a
place Of safety. The rebel papers speak of
combinations in progress to foil SHRRhAAs
plans. They believe in case he takes Nil
ledgeville, that Savannah and Charleston
are his objective points. A letter from
Georgia shows that some of the people
there are agonizing for a peace leader.
The writer says the people will follow
leader of the right stamp cas- sure as
the sun shines If it would not be knocking
at'the distress of our 'Southern bretheren,"
we would advise sending to them our
two apostles of peace, WooD and VAL
LAKD1eHAM. Those gentlemen might be
more successful in their apostolic work at
the South just about this time, than they
have ever been at the North.

We print elsewhere an extract from 9
long report Of Gen. PoPE to the War De-
partment, on the military operations of the
Northwest during the past two years.
General PoPE says that the government
may safely dismiss all apprehensiops Of
Indian wars in the Northwest" but urges
such arrangements with the British Gov
eminent as will prevent hostile Indians
who reside within the boundaries Of the
United States from obtaining supplies or
refuge in British territory. Gen. Pore says:
The hostile Sioux have for the past two
years been supplied with ammunition, proyis-
ions, &C., to carry on the hostilities against the
United States by British subjects both in their
own territory and in ours. A state of hostility
between the Sioux and citizens of course
throws all the trade with such Indians into the
hands OF British traders. Hence the anxiety of
these traders to prevent peace with the In
dams.
Gen. POPE turns cold shoulder on the
Indian Bureau, and denounces the present
system Of treaty making as leadingto con-
slant hostilities. Every treaty made, he
says, is accompanied with expensive pres
ents of goods and of supplies, and the
Indians believe they are given as brides to
keep the peace, because the whites are
afraid of them. He says:
In taot, 1t has been for years a saying with
the Sioux along the great mail route to CalifOr-
MIA, that whenever they became poor and need
ed blankets and powder and lead, they had
grant route and kill few white people, and
there would be another treaty of peace, which
would supply all their wants."
Gen. PORE intends to force all traders
with the Indians to locate Gin the imme-
diato vicinity of the Indian posts, and no.
where else, " and the only other white men
he would permit to have intercourse with
the Indians are the missionaries. He adds:
only ask now that the military authorities
be left to themselves to deal with these In
dams, and to regulate the trading with these
Indian tribes, aosth0ut the interposasn of Indian
agents, and I will cheerfully guarantee peace
with the Indian tribes in this department.
1t remains to be seen whether Congress
will approve of the positions assumed by
Gen. PORE, and virtually restore the con-
troll Of the Indian tribes to the War De-
partment, which used to hold them in tu-
telage. Of course, such a restoration will
be opposed by those pecuniarily interested
in the present system of agencies, with
their annual supplies of presents, as well
as by the agents and their friends.

slavery in Kentucky.

The Louisville Journal in recent issue
commenting upon the proposed military
abolition of slavery by JEFF. DAVIS, says:
As far as we are concerned, we have, from
the inception of the rebellion, thought, and
fifty times said, more than three wears ago.
that secession would result in the extermina
ton OF slavery. We have understood and as
serted from the first. that the rebellion, if pro-
tracted, would involve the liberation of all the
millions of Southern slaves, while at the same
time we have endeavOred 10 give some idea of
the deplorable and awful result Of sach cen
dition of things. We have never doubted that
if the anti-slavery constitution of Kentucky, so
powerfully advocated by Henry Clay many
years ago had been adopted. our State would
now be more prosperous. wealthy and happy
than il is.
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1864-12-02
The St. Louis Republican SAYS:

We in the border cities know what has been
the effect of the sudden liberation of large
numbers of slaves. 1t was but the other day
in our criminal court that out of cigh, persons
sentenced to the penitentialy six were negroes
for grand larceny. Vagrant destitution is ac-
tually fostering among the ''contrabaads" who
have immgratcd hilher. Our streets are
throng'd by day, and particularly at night.
with bevies of insolent, staggering colOred
people of both sexes. whose profane and lewd
conversation is often thrust into the cars of re-
fined ladies.
The question of emancipation being de-
cided by the late election, the next ques-
ton that arises is one OF a social and
economical character. What shall we do
with four millions of free negroes? Will
our Republican friends please solve this
little enigma? You have drawn the ele-
plant, gentlemen what use do you intend
putting him to?

Angling has been defined a. q line with
hook at one end Of it and a fool at the
other. A Newspaper strategist of first
class calibre may be defined as a pen, with
a sheet of paper at one end of it and a
gander at the other. This view of the sub
ject is suggested by tho ridiculous claims OF
tho Press to extraordinary strategic fere-
sight. The conductor of that remarkable
sheet, being tho seventh son of seventh
son, born under prophetic star, and line
ally descended from the astrologers and
seers of DID," has established his base of
operations on Bridge square, where, with
the aid of compass, transit, PLAYFAIR's
Euclid, MAHAN's Engineering and HAL
LRCK's Military Tactics, he computes an
giles and distances, calculates the number
of miles from city to city, lays out mill
tary roads through the enemy's territory,
and superintends generally the movements
ofthe United States forces, with display of
brains, courage and endurance which dwarf
the sublimest efforts of RAYMOND when
tangled in the "elbows of tile Mincio, " or
the brilliant strategic efforts of Pors after
he had cut loose from his lines of retreat
It is an encouraging fact in the midst of
these hard times, that there 10 a Hule

soles US to remember that grain of mus

Here You Have Ii.

Agate" the intelligent and intensely
radical Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette, states in few words
the condition of things brought about by
Lincolns reelection, as compared with
what would have been had Mcclellan been
made President. AS nearly as from such
a preiudiced pen as it could have been ex-
pected, we have here an admission of all
the Democracy has claimed:
RAD MCCLELLAN BEEN ELECTED
The election of General Mcclellan would
have insured compromise. revocation OF enan-
cipotion, the return of the slave States with
the prestige of the power they had shown to
give new guarantees to the system for which
they had shown it. The leaders of the South
ern rebellion would have accorded the peace
for which he prayed on no other terms.
THE SITUATION AS IT is.
Mr.. Lincoln's election scatters such hopes.
He is pledged to make 10 peace which does
not involve the absolute abolition of slavery.
This is tolerably candid, and the Ad-
ministration press, now that the election is
over, may as well follow Agate's lead in
telling the same plain truths. Had Nc
Clellan been elected, we should have had
almost immediate peace on the basis of a
restored Union, for "the leaders of the
Southern rebellion would have accorded
the peace for which he prayed on terms
which include all that the true Union mer
of the country are willing to fight for
"Tbe revocation of emancipation 50 wou(
have been followed, as Agate declares, by
"the return of the slave States - to tht
Union. But Mr.. Lncoln's election
scatters all such hopes, He is pledged t
make no peace which does not involve thu
absolute abolition of slavery"
