of Dutch gap by our batteries was heard in the city with such unusual distinctness during Tuesday night and yesterday morning that it was difficult to believe the firing was full twelve miles away. Such, however, was the fact, for no guns were fired on any portion of our lines nearer the city. All was quiet on the north side yesterday, though our men were, and still remain, in momentary expectation of a shouted salute, wherewith it is expected the Yankees will greet the first news of Lincoln's success at the Northern polls. It was not thought they will wait for official returns as to the general result of the election, but will bang away with their double-shotted guns over any important success. Our men were prepared to hurl back a defiance in kind; but the day passed without a shot from the Yankee lines, and when the sun went down, all was quiet in Darbytown and its surroundings.--To-day may not pass so noiselessly. Unless there have been many and serious rows, and riots, a

On the "negotiation" question, he says: There is reason to fear that President Lincoln, if re-elected, and President Davis, whose passions are inflamed against each other, may never be able to agree upohas not been respected in this particular. Such a direct sender, made through commissioners, by President Davis to President Lincoln would place the question fairly and properly before the States and people of the North for discussion and action. may be said, however, that the proposition to settle our difficulties upon there terms, made by President Davis to President Lincoln would be a letting down of the dignity of our Government, and might be construed as an evidence of conscious weakneder of the same proposition through the irregular channel of an executive message or a congressional manifesto. How Lincoln would receive a "direct tender," proposing the exercise of the State right to remain in or withdraw from the "Union," ma

This is an annual custom of that people, heretofore celebrated with devout oblations to themselves of pumpkin pie and roast turkey. We have nothing to say against the custom. It is one becoming a better people, and which even they have great reasons for observing. If any body on the earth has reason to be thankful thust be lost to all the finer feelings of his race. It is much to be thankful for that they have such a President as Lincoln.

leman would have made the first move in this matter, but it had not been done, and he felt bound to say something on the subject. George Wythe had said, in the Virginia Convention, more than half a century ago, that met for the consideration of the Federal Constitution, "that the freedom of the press was one of the greatest bulwarks of liberty, and should not be violated." Mr. Foote denounced the proposition to detail editors as tyrannical, and an attempt to muzzle the press. Abraham Lincoln would not have dared to send in such a proposition to the Federal Congress. As for himself (Mr. Foote), he would never give his consent to any such measure as to put the press under the power of the President. Mr. Marshall, of Kentucky, endeavored to modify the resolution so as to declare that the present limit allowed to exemptions of members of the press is sufficiently narrow, and ought not to be altered; but Mr. Barksdale, of Mississippi, refused to permit the matter to be fur
