 D6r The predictions of the southern people that there would be general uprising of the negroes on Christmas, has proved untrue.- There are very few sensible people who do not believe that 'thewish was father to the thought, and that the late rebels hoped to have ap ex- scuse forianothersuch ageneral massacre of the black population as the ex-slaveholders of Ja- nsica improved to the fullsatisfaction of their blood-thirsty natures. T'bis opinion is strength senedsby thesfact that in many places at the South the whites spent the whole day in at- tempting to excite a disturbance among the blacks, and, in the failure sof such attempts, sought and improved every possible pretence t0 mob them. In Alexandria, these blateni rebels carried their murderous recreation so far that it really amounted to riot, and the May. or was obliged to call upon the military for as isistancesto control his friends Bands of ex. -rebelsoldiefs patroled the streets, shouting for Jeif Davis and Lee, and attacking every negro they met. Of course such conduct cn the part of Southernsrs is agreat damage to their cause
 in the present crisis, and it is not strange that itsmeets with unqualified disapprobation from
 most of. of.thesprominent and discreet rebel sym -pathisers in Washington Several arrest. were made. and tits hoped the guilty ones will be brought to punishment.

me Spring Elections.
FI,,,, On. BgElry Union.

We perceive a general movement in
the copperhead camp all over the state
to secure the more important township
Offices, as preliminary to carrying the
higher and more influential positions
in the State government. Already are
they busy at work in every township
in this county efecting an organization
forthe purpose ofseiZing upon the othces
ofSuperviSor and Inspector of elections.
They persuade their friends that these
positions being carried they can disre-
gard the registry law and by disloyal
board of Supervisors make returns OF
the State elections entirely subsersiye of
the objects and purposes of this act of
legislature. But we have confidence IN
our people that they will not INDECENT
" let them steal a march upon us and
take by default these important minor
Offices. Almost every thing depends
upon the proper selection of SuPervi-
sors and Inspectors OF elections.
The Board of Supervisors are very
important body-they are the legis-
lature of the county, and upon their
loyalty and wisdom depends the prop
err administration of the local and imam
cial interests of the county. We think
no office requires greater care in select
ing men of ability and true integrity
than that Of Supervisor. 1t is both
county and a township Office, and more
depends upon IL than any other one Of
flee in the county. What shall be the
action of the loyal men of the county.
VIII they register their names prompt
" and then promptly attend the polls
at the coming spring election3 We
trust they will not be deceived. Many
think it small matter to attend the
township elections, and not worth the
time lost in attending them. This IS a
mistake. The success of all coming
elections, both State and National, in
this State, depend upon what our peo-
pie do at this coming Spring election
But no one can vote unless he is regis
tered. Il -
