DEMOCRATIC PREDICTIONS.—Itis gratifyiiig' to’ those who have stood by the:Admin-"
istration in its efforts to crush the rebellion.
re eran YI Fost
and restore ‘thé, Union, to see the “Con“ federacy”’ falling into ruins, and the hopes of
“gn early peace brightening as our “brave
armiés ‘advance. During the pendency
of the late struggle for the Presidency, Mr.
Lincoln’s opponents’ predicted that his re‘ election would inspire the enemy witlr renewed , vigor, and would prolong and intensify our, struggle with the South—that there
was no hope for the restoration of the Union,but in the triumph of the Democratic party
—that his policy was calculated to fire the
Southern heart and prevent, rather than
restore-peace, and that disaster and disgrace
“would follow such an event. Mr. Lincoln;
‘however, has been triumphantly re-elected,
_ and yet these predictions have not been verified. The complete rout of the rebel. army
in the Southwest is surely not one of the
evidences of fatality which was to follow.
The uninterrupted march of Sherman
_ through the heart of Georgia carries with it
no evidence that’ the evil is at hand. The
@apturé of Savannah, with its immense booty,
foreshadows nothing like the approach of untold disasters to the Republic; nor is.there
anytliiig in the desponding tone of the people ofthe South, which would indicate that
Tui was fast overtaking us. We still move
Onward, and victory perches upon our banner

The ‘‘Confederacy” has in reality but one
army. It is wasting in idleness in the trench‘ea around Richmend. It is true that they
detention of Lee in his present position ne_ tessitates the presence of Grant in his front,
‘but'‘our Government can well afford to de‘tain him where he now is, whilst those in
command elsewhere, are driving his demor‘alized fragments out of existence. Lee has
‘shown himself to be the ablest General in
the rebel army, and his command has given
us more annoyance than all the other armies
whieh they have had in the field, but it is
now powerless; nor ean it escape from its
present position without sharing a similar
fate te that of the army of Hood. The en trenchments behind which it is now_hidden,
almost defy attack, but.should Sherman, and
the army at Wilmington succeed in severing
the railrords which lead to the rebel capital,
the strength of Lee’s position will avail him
‘but little and he will be forced to incur risks,
which, under other circumstances, he would
_‘avoid. _ It must, therefore, be evident-to exesry-one that the present condition of things
cannot last long, and that oureenemies must, . _
immediate accessions of . .
* ‘strength or theit cause must fail. The latter,
sither receive
we think, is more probable than the other,
and ifsuch should be the case the policy of
Mr. Lincoln will be vindicated and his friends
will have just cause to rejoice over it. Mr.
Lincoln has disappointed none but his ene‘ties, and none but his friends have any right
to claim credit for having contributed to this
result. Ifthe policy of the President and
‘his party shall accomplish the overthrow of:
the rebellion within the coming year, the
Demociatic party vannot say that they had
any part or lot init; because from the very

The commander has incurred :the hatred of
that sheet, and ‘its attacks extend to every
-post--and station within his. department.—
The charges that the ‘California volunteers
were poorly clothed, and that the food given
them was of an inferior quality and not sufficient in'quantity, had been madeagain and
again, until they began to be believed. * It
became necessary that the charges should be
investigated, afd Gen. McDowell went to
work for the purpose of remedying the evils
if any could be found. The Sacramento
Bee gives the following result of investigations at Fort Point and the Presidid+
“Gen._McDowell reviewed the military
stations at the posts above mentioned, and .
the particulars of the review are given in
the San Francisco papers. He did -not eall
a Court of Enquiry, which might cover up
or fail to fully investigate the alleged abuses.
But he notified all the soldiers to make comlaint to him, if they had any to make, and
he would see their wrongsrighted. In company with his'staff, citizens and members of
the press, that all which soldiers might say,
and all that might be done or disclosed,
could be published to the. whole world, he
visited the soldiers in-their-company* quarters, examined the commissafy departments,
the kitchens, everything, All were found in
good condition; the bread was‘ excellent,
the pork prime, and the beef as good as can
be had. Among all the soldiers only .two
could he induced to make cemplaint of their
food and treatment. One of them had
enough to. eat, but the pork was too fit, and .
he thought it did not agrée with him, and
plained that he did not have bread enough.
The regular ration is 18 ounces per day to
the man. The commissariat of the company
was visited,-the bread examitied, the size of
the -loayestested by weight, and it was
found by examination that he received 204
ounces of bread per day, 24 _ounces more
than he was entitled to! Z
And so. ends all the bugaboo about:hard
fare and ill-treatment of soldiers; of which
so much has been said, and so many lies
told. Out of two whole regiments, after the
ly ‘man could be found who had anything to-complain of, and carefal examination, with their own testimeuy, demonstrated the fact that.they complained without
cause.” ~s
From copperhead journals we expect
charges which are calculated to discourage
men from enlisting in the service hough
ever so false, but we hope that such th
will not find Union papers a medium — Such
practices by men professing loyalty is reprehensible. We have received letters from
the soldiers at the Presidio, and also from
Camp Drum who weré formerly citizens of
this place, and in whose statements we place
implicit -confidence, they speak in highest praise of the service and state that they
are well fed and cared for by the Government. Ifinany instance officers are false to
duty and men suffer in consequence, let soldiers Jay their complaints before McDowell .
and we have no doubt the evil will be reme-_
In a late communication to his Congréss
as to the safety of blockade-running, Mr.
Davis stated that out of 11,796 bales of cotton shipped between the Ist of July and the
6th of December, only 1,272 bales were lost,
or not quite eleven per cent. The statistics
in the Navy Department at. Washington
show that in the time mentioned our vessels
took.7,734 bales of cotton in eaptured blockade-runnérs. This was sixty-four per cent.
of the amount shipped
THE loaded shell fired into the rudder
post of the Kearsarge by the pirate Alabama,
