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 “___ «wherever it is given to the breeze, nor have We accomplished as much during any-periud. a , ; ~ ment of this war, as we have done since the Presidential election. * Our forces have not been defeated in asingle battle during the time, and judging from the present condition ‘Of affairs in the dominions of treason, it is nofdike)y that any such-calamity Will overtake us soon. Dew 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 _ beginning of the struggle, down to the present time, that party did every thing»in its Bower to cripple that policy and prevent its RIXTREN years ago 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, has been sent from Boston to Washington, . as a present from Captain Winslow to Mr, Lincoln, the latter having expressed a ‘wish
