Probably Johnson's forces are mostly incorporated with Bragg’s, and in all probabil
ity the prisoners paroled at Vicksburg. and
Port Hudson are in arms again in front of
Rosecrans, The enforcement of .the rebel
conscription ‘act has also supplied the Southern army with a great many men.
The policy of the rebels making gréat-ef.
fort just before the cold weather sets in is
correct. If they can stop the progress of
the Union arms, and put our afwies on the
defensive, the prestige is something and may
last through the winter when no very active
operations will take place. Already Roses
crans has fallback from his most advanced
position to Chattanooga, Meade has retreated
toward Washington, and ‘thé Ironsides has
beet injured ut Charleston. All this serves
to give a little hope to the Confederacy and
its sympathisers,
The capture.of Charleston, a slates by
Meade, or better than all, the crushing of
Bragg by Rosecrans, would be a staggering
blow tothe rebels. We needa victory.
An Imporrant Surr.—The much talked
. Of suit involving the title to a large share of
the so-called Comstock lead, has been coms
menced in the 12th Dats Guu of San
Francisco, before Judge Loredzo Sawyer.
The allegations of the plaintiffs are: That
two brothers, Hoeea B. Grosch and E. Allen
Grosch loested the ledge in 1857 and took
ores from the same. That Hosea Groscb
‘That the surviving brother left the
“leidge and his claim in the hands of Comstock
who took metals from the mine of great value. That Comstock wad to have one quarter of the whole for tuking care of the intereste of the brothers. But he sold out the
gether with all the metal extracted. ‘The
suit is brought to recover rights said to be.
vested in the brothers: Grosch or their heirs.
The suit was couimenced on Saturday last;
and we notice that the prices of steck in the

heavily, ‘which isan indication that the occupanta. of those mines have-not the fullest

THE ELEction, —Not much interest was
‘shown in the election of yesterday. But
‘tow comparatively took the trouble to go to
the polls. -This is not as it should be.—
When a whole Supreme bench is elected
every citizen should be alive to the importance of the election. The Judiciary is the
must vital part of the Government. and
should, therefore, be-the more carefully pros:
tected. But separating the judicial election
from the political, robs it of all its interest.
Though the judicial offices.are really the
most important, the masses seer toregard
them as of the least possible consequence,—
The vote yesterday is ag indication of the

election. It is true che country is largely
depopulated by silver exeitements,
there is not so great a disparity between the
population now and what it was at the late
political election as there is between the vote
now and vote then. Hundreds have staid
at home, and if incompetent or corrupt judgges have been elected by the negligence, we

out, the result would have been disastrous.
We suppose from the indications about us
that the Union ticket has carried, but not
much credit is due Unionists, if it be so.—
It is only an accident fer “which we are
thankful. If the whole State Government is
in the hands of unconditional Union men, it
is cause for congratulation..
EASTERN News.—The Richmond papers
report a detachment of Burnside’s army,
consisting of 27 regiments mounted men
having met the rebels at Greenville, Tenn.,
on the Virginia and Tennessee railroad; and
followed them up on the line of the road to
Abington in Virginia. The rebel loss was

By dome it is thought Lee mneditates

others think his activity isonly a ruse
to occupy Meade’s attention while a strong
detachment of hie~army is withdrawing
to reinforce Bragg. The reports tu the
Herald, which are always to be taken with
several grains of allowance, are to the effect
that the rebels are falling back upon the
Rapidan and that our army offers battle
by advancing.
Gen: Grant has superseded Rosecrans as
commander of the army of the Cumberland.
Rosecrans is ordered to report at‘Cincinnati:
The rebels are entirely out of Tennessee.

PRovosT Marshal Fry publishes the following « opinion of Judge Advocate Holt, for
the information and guidance of all officers
of the Provost Marshal General's bureau:
“The right of a party drafted to insist on
‘his exemption from service. is a privilege
which he may waive, and which he certainly
does waive when he furnishes a aubstitute
or pays the commutation. He cannet alter«
