From the Chieag’o Democrat—Lincoln's
State Organ.
A ~ ion .t? It ?> ts-ascertained that Lincoln was'
et iia’nly elected, his special organ in Chica
go, held forth in (he language we append be
low. We should he glad if this issue of our
piner could run the blockade, that these boast
fol words might once more fall under the eyes
of the editor of the Chicago “Democrat” and
a few of the persons who then read and gloa
ted over his taunts and threats.
The election is over and Lincoln is elected,
by a larger majority of the popular vote than
was anticipated, and by the electoral voe of
every free State.
Thus, not only has the consummation which
the fire eaters of the South have for years pro
claimed jij the inevitable prelude to disunion
been attained, but the job has been done so
effectually, completely and emphatically, as
to leave n.> doubt (bat the free people of the
North meant (hey should be understood.—
When eighteen millions of freemen speak as
they spoke on Tuesday, they make a noise
that even the most, stupid secessionists cannot
fail to he ir.
Thus the people of the free North say to the
slave oligarchy, “ We will endure your inso
lence, suffer your tyranny, hear with your
assumption, no longer ' We have listened to
your threats, as insulting as they were cow
ardly, of what you would do, if we dared to
carry out our conviction* of right, at. the bal
lot box, and elect a man who would not bow
the knee to you, and who would place your
accursed insttttition of slavery where the pub
lie mind would rest- in the belief that it would
become finally extinct.
“ You have sworn that if we dared to elect
such a man yon would dissolve the Union.—
We have elected him. and now we want you
to try your little game of secession. Do it, if
you dare 1 So long as you remain in the
Union, peaceably and decently, you shall en
joy your constitutional rights. But every man
of yon who attempts to subvert this Union,
which we prize so dearly, will be hung as high
as Haman. We wiil have no fooling about
this matter. By the Eternal I the Union
MUST ER PRESERVED 1”
Such is the lecture read by the people of
the North to their Southern brethren on J ues
day And now what will the chivalry do
about it ?
Will they eat dirt Will they take back all
they have ?aid about disunion, a Southern
Confederacy, the rights of the South, the blood
of their enemies, and all that sort of thing?
What will the Yanceys, the Rhetts, the Keitts,
the Jeff Davises,'and all that noble army of
traitors, do? To what dodge will Wise, the
dougty champion of the Hay Stack war, re
sort, in order to cover his inglorious retreat.
Where is the army with which he was to march
on Washington, and seize the Federal city ?
The chivalry will eat dirt. They will back
out. They never had any spunk anyhow.—
The best they could do was to bully, and
brag and bluster. John Brown and his sev
enteen men ware enough to affright the whole
mighty Commonwealth of Virginia out of its
propriety, and to hold it as a conquered pro
vince tuii;. recaptured by the Federal troops,
and to this day John Brown’s ghost is more
terrible than any army with •banners, in the
• •yes til every Southern cavalier. These
knights of the Sumty South are just such he
roes aa Sancho Panza was. They are won
derful bauds at bragging and telling fantasti
cal lies, but when it comes to action, count
them out.
As if to add the last cap stone to this ab-
■ rdity of disunion bluster, the telegraph yes
tiiday brought us the news that the Legisla
tore of South Carolina on Tuesday elected
her Presidential electors, and they had con
cluded to postpone arming the State until they
had ascertained that Lincoln was really elec
ted ! Poor devils! The smallest kind of a
knot hole will he sufficient for them to crawl
through now.

Reported Recognition ot the Southern
Cofederacy by England.
The Richmond “Examiner” of Monday,
21st, says:—“A most, extraordinary state
ment obtained yesterday in the highest official
circles of the recognition of the Confederacy
by Great Britian. It is certain that a des
patch agent arrived yesterday from England,
having landed in the British possessions and
essaying to reach rhe South through Michi
gan and the West. His report is understood
to be,t hat he was arrested in Ohio and robbed
of his despatches, subsequently effecting his
escape to inis city. Theassertion of theagent
is that the despatches contained assurances
of the immediate recognition of our Govern
ment by that of Great Britian. We give this
statement, which is made in the most positive
manner, without adding any opinion of our
own, or professing to know how the Govern
ment has verified or credited the report, be
yond semi-official expressions of confidence in
its truth, whfch reached us last night.

Tuesday Evening. Oct. 16th, 1861. )
Dear Confederacy: The almost painful mo
I notony of our camp was dispelled this morn-
I ing, about ten o’clock, on the reception of in
i telligence that the enemy was coming down
I to at'ack us. Instantly the whole camp pre
: sented a most, lively appearance, and inipos
i irg scene—men rushing from ditches and bat
! teries, where they had been working all the
i morning, to their tents for their arms and ac-
I coutrements —the clear, loud-ringing voices
i of our officers commanding their respective
companies to “fall in’—th# rapidity with
i which this order was executed —aid de eamps
■ and scouts rushing across the field under full
; gallop, coming in from every direction with
I dispatches to Gen. Jackson, all tended to
induce us to believe that there was hot work
just at hand; ami the cool, determined man
ner of the men, their res< lute countenances,
showed plainly how deeply they were im
pressed with the importance of performing,
even at the cost of their lives, the duty ex
pected to be assigned them, and their willing
ness, yea, eagerness, to enter into the contest.
Having stood under arms for some time,
momentarily expecting orders to inarch out
to meet the enemy, it was ascertained that
the alarm was in consequence of our pickets
stationed on the Green Bank Road, leading
south-west from here, being fired upon by a
small body of Yankees; and also in conse
quence of one regiment of Hessians being dis
covered at a point of the road leading to Cheat
Mountain, about four miles distant from this
encampment. Some are of opinion that the
enemy is sending out strong reconnoitering
parties to find out, if possible, our most assail
able point, after which he will attack us;
while otWrs believe that he is now sending
around parties to flank us on either side, and
that a large force will be brought up in front,
so soon as these flankers shall have had time
to gain their respective positions, when we
will be simultaneously attacked from three
different points. Whether these opinions
prove to be correct or not, time alone can tell.
One thing, however, is certain, the indications
upon which the belief that we will be attack
ed here in a few days is predicated, are very
strong, and as the enemv is not likely, from
his experience on the 3d inst, to attack us
without having a vastly superior force, you
need not be surprised to hear of a great and
bloody battle at this point soon.
Gen. Jackson’s command occupies the same
position now that it did prior to the battle of
3d inst. Since that time we have labored very
hard in strengthening our old fortifications
and in constructing new ones. The result of
this work is, that we are now more than twice
as able to repulse an attack from the enemy
as we were on the day of the recent battle at
this place, with the same arms and force we
then had. But since that time we have re
ceived four pieces of artillery of the follow
ing caiibre: Two 12 pound howitzers and two
rifled 6 pounders, and we were also reinforced
this morning by Col. Fulkersen’s Va. Regi
ment, which has been for some time past
guarding a- pass in the mountains about seven
miles south west from this place With this
addition in men and arms, and the strong po
sition we now occupy, I dare say we can're
pulse the efforts of at least 15,100 Hessians to
break through our lines; indeed, some are of
opinion that with the force we now have here,
our position is impregnable against an a.ttsck
of 20,000.
The health of this division of the Army of
N. W. Virginia is improving rapidly. But
few cases of fever among the soldiers compos
ing it. The weather for the last five days has
been fair and very cool. We have had a heavy
frost every morning since the 11th inst. I
saw ice this morning one-fourth of an inch
thick. If anything is to be accomplished here
in a military point of view during this cam
paign, it must be done speedily ; for the deep
snows ami bleak winds of winter will soon
put a slip to all active military operations in
N. W. Virginia. NESTOR.

Treating a Deserter io a Ride on a
Rail.
Camp McDonald, Oct. Iti, 1861.
Hesses. 1 Editors: It may not be uninterest
ing to your numerous readers to have some of
the dots of camp life. A most amusing occur
rence came off here yesterday evening.
A man by the name of A. J. Stewart joined
the Lester Volunteers, (Col. Brumby’s regi
ment,) and went with the company to Lynch
burg, at which place he deserted. He wrote
back from there that he had joined the 7th
Tennessee regiment. lie, however, returned
to Georgia, and now denies that he joined the
Tennessee regiment; but says he. belongs to
Flournoy’s cavalry which no one who knows
him believes a word of.*
When he left Milton county, he was penni
less, ragged and degraded. After the lapse of
two or three months, he returns to us dressed
like a gentleman, with a quantity of baggage,
requiring a dray to convey it from your city to
his residence, a pair of fine Colt’s navy pistols,
Ac.
Yesterday evening, he came up on the five
o’clock train, and stopped at the Big Shanty
Hotel. He said he had a brother in my com
pany, and proceeded at once to the camp of
the men under my command, where, be met
with a warm reception. In less than fifteen
minutes, he was riding on a rail, (not sleeping
very soundly.) He was paraded up and down
every camp street, with a lull band of music,
and was vociferously cheered at every point,
and soon had an escort of six or eight hundred
men.
They conducted him to a point on the rail
road. above the hotel, where he was permitted
to take leg bail, which he accepted without a
murmur—preferring it to riding any further.
Looking ou him as a »uspicious character,
and perhaps as a spy, we concluded to exam
ine his trunk. His wardrobe is complete, con
sisting, of four or five different suits, two fa
tigue jackets, 12 pairs of socks, 2 fine over-
coats, 1 line blanket, one demijohn of whisky,
1 deck of cards, 1 blacking brush,? ladies am
brotypes, one pocket compass, (to direct his
course, but did not use it while traveling on
the rail,) 1 bible, and a variety of other arti
cles not mentioned.
He is a stout man with a glib tongue. It is
to be hoped the press will band him round,
and that if he should return to Milton county,
the citizens will arrest him, and send him
back t> his company.
We are getting on quietly, and are anxious to
receive marching orders, and are ready to go
wherever w« may be ordered.
Yours truly.

Correspondence from Thrasher Pitts
Light Infantry.
Brunswick, Ga., Oct. 21, 1861.
Messrs Editors: Inclosed please find a roll
of our company, which I send in compliance
with your request.
The company are in high life, and are well
pleased with Brunswick—plenty of every
thing that is good to eat, but we would like to
have some of our Atlanta water to drink ; the
water here tastes well enough, but it is too
warm.
Military operations here are quite attrac
tive—making preparations to receive the Yan
kees. They are in sight with their vessels
nearly every day, and we are daily looking
for them. It is tho opinion of military men
that after ten days we will be able to sink any
fleet Lincoln can send here: one thing is cer
tain, we will whip the fighter fill honorable
graves.
Barnes promised us a concert for our benefit.
Tell him to get it up for us We are needing
clothes and shoes. Tell the patriotic of At
lanta to bear us in mind while they are dis
pensing their bounty to other soldiers. Mr.
John B. Stewart, of our company, will be in
Atlanta in e ! gbt or ten days, and can bring
anything for us. We hope our friends will see
that we are supplied.
With sincere wishes for your health and
happiness,
1 remain yours. Ac.,

Gen. Anderson Smells a Rat.
The Nashville Banner is furnished with a
letter from Bowling Green, dated October 21,
which says :
A gentleman who reached Bowling Green
on Sunday relates the following conversation
which occurred in Louisville between General
Anderson and himself: “General, I under
stand that you have resigned.” “ Yes, sir,”
replied the General; “my health is very bad,
and it may be better to die ia retirement, the
“Anderson of Sumter,” than to sustain a dis
astrous battle, in my present, position, for the
want of necessary supplies—soldiers and arms
—from the Government I serve.” (This is re
liable. )

A Capture—Troops on our Coast.
The Charleston Mercury, of the 21st, says:
Among other captures by our privateers is
the brig Grenada, Capt. Pettingill, of Port
land, Maine, having a full cargo of sugars,
molasses, mahogany and honey.
It is reported that, in addition to the block
ading fleet, a large steam transport, having
on board Yankee troops, is hovering on the
Carolina coast.

The Safety of Washington,
The Chicago Tribune says :
“ Washington is safe! We are glad to nn~
nonnee that Washington is safe!
On the same subject, the Cincinnati (dazette
remarks :
The resources of the country will not be
permitted to be wasted in side issues. A few of
Fremont’s regiments in Missouri may yet be
detached to Washington.
From the New York Times, October <>th.
The Danger of Rebellion in the Nfirth.
The symptoms of a mutinous and seditious
spirit against the government are daily and
hourly developing themselves at the North, in
the radical wing of the Republican party and
among the abolitionists of the true-blne stripe.
Both factions, having been separated by only
the breadth of a hnir, or the difference be
tween tweedle-dum and tweedle~<iee, are now
cordially united in opposition to the president,
whose manly letter to Fremont is the occasion
for the opening of a general fire upon him,
from the big sixty-four pounders down to the
pop-guns. Even the telegraph at Si. Louis
is used to spread mutiny through the North.
Under these circumstances it is the duty of
the conservative elements to come forward and
sustain Mr. Lincoln and denounce the aboli
tion traitors, who are the prime cause of the
present misfortunes of the country, and are
doing their worst to render permanent the
mischief (hey have wrought. The government
itself, consulting its own safety, ought to seize
and incarcerate the leaders, who are a thous
and times more dangerous than the editors of
Northern papers sympathizing with the South
ern rebellion, and opposing the war for the
Union. The secession heresy never had any
strength at the North, and it is now complete
ly squelchtd here by the vigorous action of
the government ; but a more formidable and
a far more extensive disunion element openly
defies the president, spits upon and execrates
the constitution, which is the bond of the Un
ion, and threatens to subvert our whole polit
ical system, turning it either into a consolida
ted military despotism or into a Mexican an
archy, tn which numerous petty chieftains
will each play an independent part.
When the Southern secessionists were form
ing (heir plans against the Federal Govern
tnent. we warned Mr Buchanan of the danger,
and called on him to act with energy. We
told him that his foes were of his own house
hold ; that leading members of the democratic
parly meditated the destruction of the gov
ernmenl. Our admonitions were unheeded,
and the consequence is a bloody civil war
We now warn Mr. Lincoln that there is a dis
affection to his government in his own party
at the North ; that it is every day gaining
strength, and that unless he speedily crushes
it, it is very likely soon to crush him and be
tray the cause of the Union into the hands of
its Southern foes. This is nbw the real dan
ger of the country, and it should be promptly
met by the powerful arm of the government,
before it consolidates its strength and matures
its plans.
If the policy of the red revolutionary re
publicans prevailed, and the government were
weak enough to succumb to it and indorse
such a proclamation as Fremont’s or issue
others to the same effect, the North would be
come a dividend instead of a united people,
and the South would become so thouroughly
united that it would be as easy to find a white
crow as a Union man beyond the Delaware
and the Ohio. When the war commenced, no
sane, well informed man hoped for the suc
cess of our arms, unless upon the bias of a
Union element in the Southern States, which
would become developed as our armies ad
vanced. The malignity of abolitionism seeks
to destroy the element and convert it into one
of hostility, and if it is only successful, the
men of the present generation will not live to
see the end of the war; and from its vast, ex
tensive nature, covering an area of two-thirds
of the soil of the United States, it will soon
exhaust and ruin the country.
Already great evil has been done by the
proclamation of Gen. Fremont in Missouri.—
We have the testimony of Rev. Mr. Olmstead,
pastor of the Baptist Church at Boonville, in
a letter in a Chicago republican journal, that
“the whole country in Northwestern Missouri
is up and flocking by hundreds to Price’s
camp, their arms being of every description ;
that the whole force of the rebels marching
from various points against the Union army
wiil amount from 100,000 to 150,000 men
and his opinion is that the only hope is to fall
back, concentrate, entrench, and act on the
defensive! Such are the first fruits in Mis
souri of the false step of Fremont towards
making the war one of emancipation, instead
of a war to restore the status eyto ante helium
—the same condition as existed before bostil
ities broke out. The abolitionists and radical
republicans do not want the Union restored
unless negro slavery is cut out of it by the
sword ; they do not want the Union restored
unless the essential principles of the consti
tution are abolished principles wit hout which
the Union never could have been formed. A
Union without the constitution is a new ques
tion, which neither the president nor Con
gress nor generals have any right to solve.—
That remains for the decision of the people in
convention assembled, and any attempt to de
cide it in any other way would be an act of
usurpation and rebellion, equaling in crimi
nality the course of the Southern rebels.
The patriotssm of the president has so far
baffled their schemes, and he ought to be
warmly supported hy the whole country, with
out regard to party politics. But, meantime,
it will be only an act of prudent precaution
on the part of Mr. Lincoln’s government to
arrest the leaders of a conspiracy equaling in
atrocity that of Cataline and his confederates
in ancient Rome.

Decision of a Northern Judge in Case of
a British Vessel Cleared from Richmond,
and Captured as a Prize by the Feder
al*.
Judge Betts, of New York, has rendered his
decision in case of the British bark Hiawatha,
about whose capture, as a prize of war, there
has already been’much decussion in England.
The New York “ Herald” says of the deci
sion :
The decision is against the bark, condemn
ing her as a prize, and is important, not only
for the principle of maritime and internation
al law laid down, but for the reason that ten
other vessels are virtually included in this
judgment, and their cases will be ruled ac
cordingly.
An understanding was entered into by the
counsel conducting the various suits, that the
arguments covering the common grounds of
defence should be limited to the issue made in
three cases—the bark Hiawatha, the bark
Pioneer, and the schooner Crenshaw—with
the reservation of the right to parties in the
other suits pending, to be heard upon the facts
and law peculiar to the suits in which they
were specially concerned. Mr. Edwards, as
agent of the British Government, was leading
counsel in the general defense set up for all
tbe vessels, which consisted of the following
points:
1. That ths Court, as a Prize Court or oth
erwise, has no jurisdiction over tbe action.
2. That the public disturbances now sub
sisting throughout the country, or between
different portions of the United States, do not
constitute a state of war, carrying with it tbe
consequence or incidents of public war, under
the public law or laws of nations.
That no lawful blockade has been estab
lished by the Government of the United States
against any port within the United States;
nor has a blockade been maintained conform
able to the rules of nations, or been violated
against such rules within the United States.
I. That no particuler State or numbers of
particular States, or the citizens or inhabit
ants of particular States, can become or be
treated as enemies of the United States, by
the Government of the latter.
5. That the President of the United States
has no power, without authorization of Con
gress, to create or declare a state of war with
any State or States of the United Sta'es, or
to astablish a blockade of any port or ports
within such Stale or States.
All the claimants deny in substance the le
gality of the blockade oft he port at Richmond,
the knowledge of the claimants of its viola
tion. or that the master of the vessel had au
thority to prejudice the rights of the claim
ants by any unlawful acts an his part.
The Harper’* Ferry Fight.
From the officers who accompanied to the
city, on Saturday, the prisoners taken by Col.
Turner Ashby, during his tight with the ene
my al Harper's Ferry, on Wednesday, we gain
some intetesting particulars of that splendid
affair
The fight, which began early in the morn
ing, was continued, with varying results, un
til the afternoon, when the Yankees were dri
ven entirely from their entrenchments, and
finally across the Potomac, leaving Bolivar
and Harper’s Ferry in possession of our
troops. The enemy, who numbered al out
1,500 men, comprised detachments of Massa
chusetts. Mintiesotu and Pennsylvania regi
ments. The Minnesotians did tbe chief share
of the fightiug, and are said to have borne
themselves gallantly. Our own force num
bered about ttOO men. the greater portion of
whom were taw militia. The latter acted with
great bravery, meeting the Yaukeesfairly with
the bayonet, and impetuously driving them
from the field. Subsequent to their retreat,
the enemy planted some cannon on the Mary
laud'Heights, and fired into our forces, which
were then stationed at Bolivar, but without
effect. The known less of the enemy is nine
teen killed, that number having been counted
upon the field. It is probable, however, that
a much larger number were alain. Two were
taken prisoners, together with five tories, who
were acting in concert with them. Our own
loss was one killed—a man named Zimper, be
longing to the Shenandoah militia—and ten
wounded, two of them mortally, it is suppos
ed. During the action the axle of one of our
guns broke, and Col Ashby, having no horses
to draw away the piece, ordered it to be se
curely spiked.— Richmond Enquirer October
- ♦
The Blockade Insufficient.
We believe it was Mrs. Partington who said
that Mr. Lincoln would never be able to atop
the Southern port-holes with his blockhead.
The Cincinnati “ Gazette,” an old abolition
sheet has come to the same conclusion. It
says;
The whole history of blockades ought to
show any general that they are a very poor
foundation for a strategic policy. The idea
was part of an imbecile mode of warfare;
and all military policy that depended on it
and waited fur it must necessarily have been
imbecile. This war has got to be prosecuted,
if ever prosecuted, by fighting—by conquer
ing the rebels in the field and in their en
trenchments. It will never be brought to a
close by our blockade, nor by the starvation
or nakedness of the rebels. The sooner we
admit that fact, the sooner we shall begin the
war.
