The South would prefer his continuance in office to the success of Fremont. He is a man of more force and sagacity than Fremont; but his schemes and measures are well understood, and his policy Fremont; but his schemes and measures are well understood, and his policy envelopes him like a cocoon. There is no new force to be employed by him. He is exhausted. A new man might inspire the Northern hordes with a new notion, and might make a new flout and a new spasm in the dying out of the crusade against the South.

It is especially for the Northwest to look to her future; and whatever the result of the Presidential election in the Federal Union, she will never find rest until, in the language of one of her own citizens, she "follows the bright sparkling waters of the Ohio down to the 'Father of Waters'--down to the Ocean of Peace"--until she carries out the design of which a Puritan Congressman from Maine accuses her, viz.: to "establish a Western Confederacy." Lincoln or no Lincoln, there is a plenty of discord and turmoil at the North to engender strife and division irreconcilable; and whatever the result of the political canvass going on, we shall see their fruits in due season. In the meantime, as we always conclude on these subjects, the brave Southern armies must essentially aid in solving the problem of Northern polities.

"I am now among the tens of thousands of our mourning land who have been robbed of everything on earth by the enemies of God and man. General Hunter, in his retreat by this place, ordered the plunder of my house, and was with difficulty restrained by General Averill from burning it and every other building in the Valley. I lost in a single hour the labors of a life time, and with it every single vestige of a happy life in a fair and sufficient home. Every line of love, every token or memorial of the living or the dead is gone; and I can truly say in that hour, too, there was not a sentiment or an affection that the human heart was capable of, whether relating to time or eternity, that was not shocked and insulted by such atrocious brutality as I
