WASHINGTON, Nov. "a, 1864
The rumors Of movements in front Of Richmond which
have been In circulation for several days past
founded. "
About twenty deserers came into lines Tuesday
night rhey stated that they bad Just heard OF Lncons
re election, and, having lost all hope Of speedy peace
determined to eight longer; and, though their officers
eudeavored TO keep the result Of the Presidential election
from them long possible, they Huay learned
from some or our papers. The circulation OF
papers within the onemys lines has often been Of the
greatest service TO this The strctest orders
against exchanges OF papers prevail in the Army Of
Potomac, while in General Buffers department there
seems to be no restriction on this subject.
About hundred deserters weye sent away from
City Point yesterday on the Washington boat.

PROGRESS OF THE COUNTRY UNDER
PRESIDENT LINCOLN's ADMIaIs-


Tho following timely summary is an extract
Of an able leading editorial in to-dsy's Phila-
delphia american and Ga1ette; we commend 1t
10 our readers;
Let those who doubt whether the country
has made any progress during the present ad-
mnlstration ponder over the following list of
measures accomplished thus far under the aus
plces OF President Lincoln and the party by
which he is sustained.
l. Emancipation In Missouri; 2. Emancipa-
tion In West Virginia. 3. Emancipation In
Maryland; 4. Emancipation In Washington
city; 8. Repeal OF the Fugitive Slave Law-pro-
hibition Of slavery In the national territories;
o. Admission OF Kansas as a free State; 7. Re.
cognition Of the independenceof Of Hayti; s. En-
listment OF 100, 900 black soldlersj Q. Provision
for the admission of three new free States
Colorado, Nebraska, and Neyadai 10. Organ.
iEation OF four new free Misunderstanding, Mon
tanA, DacOtah, and Arizonai II. Establishment
OF free labor on plantations In South Carolina,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Ar.
kansas.
Every one OF these measures, without a sin-
gle exception, has been vehemeEtly opposed by
the Democrats. They have voted, spoken and
written against them In every possible way,
shape and form. The Administration and its
friends are now lAboring to complete the work
OF emancipation in Louisiana, Arkansas and
Tenneesee, Dy the adoption OF constitutions In
those States prohibiting slavery and this, too
is opposed by the Democrats. The friend, OF
the Administration in Delaware could and
would Immediately adopt the policy Of EN- anci
patton in Delaware, were 1t not ior the Demo
crAts.
Not the least Of the achievements OF the
present dominant party may be reckoned thest
two great facts; It has eItirpated slavery along
both sides Of the Mississippi river, from "a
month tn Ita AOuTce. and IL haA enfranchised ed
already over u million Of slaves. Yet we fire..
quently hear grumblers assert that the Repub
llcanA, have accomplished nothing Of valLC
since they acquired power. We present thu
record for the contemplation Of all right
minded citizens.

Inc comments oil the Enghsh press, II not
very favorable as regards our ultimate success,
are at least complimentary as to our efforts to
deserve 1t. The London Times says:
"It is one of the most astonishing incidents
of this remarkable struggle that battles which
surprise all Europe by their ferceness should
have been fought by armies and Generals ex-
temporized for the occasion. MS a lesson
which should BE- carcfldly NOTED. There is hardly
a regular battalion iu tho whole of the enor-
nous hosts which are contending with such
UNPARALLELED ferocity and rssolution. The
