Who, but an unfeeling wretch, would think of such a heartless punishment! November 1st Maryland was proclaimed a Free State to-day. I suppose Lincoln and Stanton will lose no time in recruiting soldiers from among the newly-freed negro slaves. Sheridan and Beast Butler would make suitable commanders for them. Cannons areajority over McClellan in Baltimore. The Democrats were intimidated and kept away from the polls. November 9th The election news indicates that Lincoln and Stanton's bloody and despotic rule will continue four years more. The renegade Andrew Johnson was rewarded for betraying and deserting his native section, which had timeIf the Doctor has any delicacy, he must feel humiliated at being required to play the spy, and eavesdrop a private family conversation.

ferson, Patrick Henry and Light horse Harry Lee (father of our beloved R. E. Lee), were all Rebels. The glorious name is the patronym of all the mighty dead of this land. Almost every name held in honor is that of a Rebel: Rebels give names to our universities and colleges, to our charitable institutions, to our counties, cities and streets. The greatest and noblest of our dead, the purest and most honored of our living, bear the grand old names of Rebels. No efforts of Lincoln, Seward, Stanton, Beast Butler, Provost Marshal Brady and others of that ilk, brought into dishonorable notoriety by the accidents of war can make the noble title Rebel odious.

Maury, Raphael Semmes and thousands of other true-hearted patriots, will never blush at its application to ourselves, but our eyes will grow brighter, our ste

II, July, were tabulated from tiles of the New York Herald for 1864. and though from the Wilderness on, Mr. Stanton--who was Napoleonic in his bulletins, if in nothing else — persistently chronicled success wh denies access to the archives at Washington, it is impossible to state the precise figures. Mr. Stanton in his report says: Meanwhile, in order to repair the losses of the Army of the Potomac, the d, on the Confederate side, Mr. Swinton's narrative is a very fallacious guide. Once more, Mr. Stanton, who had long preserved silence, appeared to chronicle victory, and gold, which ever sympathi gradually did, that this was no mere advance for the purpose of reconnoissance, as stated by Mr. Stanton in his bulletin, but a grand blow for the capture of Petersburg, which had been promptly parr
