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. H W HOWELL. A_ *. ♦ » 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., J. Muster Roll of the. Thrasher <f Pitts Light In fantry Captain Geo. W. Johnson. Ist LieutenantThos. M Dean. 2d LieutenantF.

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. Sentimbnts in Kentucky. —The Hickman (Ky.) Courier, of the 12tb instant, says : “ Thousands es Kentuckians are now ready with their muskets to atone for and redeem the State. The South has 50,000 majority in the State, and when the question is fairly put to the people, they will join their bisters of the South.” special e are authorized to announce Rev. R W.
