THE EVENING STAR. | OUR MILITARY BUDGET. —SS SS WASHINGTON Cr WEDN:s SDAY...... NOVEMBER ead GF BEADING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE. SEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. _ ——————————— SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. ‘The Intelligencer notic « the significant fact — that Massachusetts, through hiv Republican Governor, refuses to receive “the loyal blacks.’ Says the Antelligencer : «Tt thus seems that the introduction of mem- bers o: this sed race into a State where at regarded with favor by not rej enue ie of teanendl ee * * “The sAftican™ is brother,’ but South Carolina, not Massachusetts, is left to be the * brother's keeper” The Kepwbli-an treats upon “Central Ameri- can Colonization,” and upon “A Vigorous Prosecution of the War.” ‘The Chronicle compliments Massachusetts on © her vote yesterday, and says: : «© We expected nothing le-e from the old Bay State, which has ey: r Leen true to the cause of freedom; f-ithful among the faithiees. Her . keen, unfaltering instinct, and her stalwort arm never yet failed the Republic in the hour of peril.” The Chronicle seems to look upon the result of the recent elections as an anti-war victory, eandsays ‘The idea that the New York democratic ssterous. ‘They may, TOUS. a a& course whea the 5 but They desire THB RESULT. Now that the fall elections areover, the truth concerning the result will at once coma to be everywhere understood and duly appreciated. It is simply a sweeping victory in favor of the vigorous prosecution of the war upon the con- servative principles enunciated in the original resolutions adopted by Congress declaring the ends, to accomplish which, the Government had been driven to the necessity of taking up arms. It is a general popular pronouncement against the policy so pertinaciously urged on the Gov- ernment by Messrs. Andrew, Sumner, Greeley, Lovejey and their allies, of turning the war into & crusade ignoring the duty of striving to re-es- tablish the old Union, and to substitute in its stead a naked military despotism to uphold the unquestioned supremacy of abolitionism, by the power of the dungeon and lettre de cachet, in the loysi States. So far as the South is concerned, the result is but a pronouncement against the Tadical’s propoced policy ef Africanizing it, and jus rendering its future industry utterly yal- ueless to itself and to the North, which, before the war, shared equally one half of every dol- iar made through its then so productive labor. It is, further, a verdict against the already so strenuously urged radical policy of general negre social and industrial equality throughout the whole Union. It is no longer to be doudted that the conserv- ative majority in the next House of Representa- tives will be amply sufficient to control legislation against abolitionism; while the ma- jerity in favor of the preseention of the war with all the feans of the people and Govyern- ment, to the end of rcstoring the old Union under the old Constitution, at least to tim extent ef conserving every priacipl+ of the latter, will beoverwhelming. The few secession sympa- thizers elected will help the few haters of the Constitution and Union of the otherextreme, to embarrass tle future military plans of the’ Government, of course; but the aggregate number of both will be too small to enable them to work half the mischief they together worked last winter: which, in itself, did most to bring the nation up to yesterday's verdict iu favogpf the reconstruction of the Union as it was. Upon the popular mind of the South the re- sultof these elections will prove important to the good cause, beyond calculation. The belief that the Government is prosecuting the war only to reduce that section of the Confederacy toa provincial condition and to Africanize it, with which the oligarchy has impregnated al- Most all there, will soon ‘be repudiated univer- sally; and not long afterwards a storm of south- ¢ra populardemonstrations in favor of the re- | construction of the old Union will be witnessed, ench as will soon satisfy all that the exd of the rebellion is swiftly approaching. 4&7 The Secretary of War has ordered a mili- | tary commission to be organized, to inquire into the conduct of Major General Buell, in refer- ence to his permitting the invasion of Kentucky by Gen. Bragg; his failure to relieve Mumfords- ville, and allowing its capture by the enemy; his conduct during the battle of Perryville; his suffering the forecs of Gen. Bragg to escape from Kentucky without capture or loss, or at- tacking them; and his operations in the States of Kentucky and Tennessee. The cout is to be held at Cincinnati. cranny PS Ee.

They are now temporarily at Broad Run, where the railroad bridge was found partially burned by the rebels, and the supports partly sawed through. It can, however, be easily and quickly repaired.

They, however, continue to scout down as low as Catlett's Station, and will doubtless destroy Cedar Run bridge, if they haye not already done so. Tle Manaseas Gap Railroad is in pretty good ‘working order, clear up to Thoroughfire Gap, and will doubtless be very coon used for the supply of our forces in the advance in that di- rection.

New York, November 5.—The Tribunc’s editorial on the election, after explaining the reasons for the result, tells the administration most earnestly that the country cannot endure another month’s inaction of our armies; that a Fernando Wood dictatorship at the North in thorough sympathy, if not open alliance with rebellion at the South, will inevitably result from such inaction. The war for the Union must be fought out speedily and resolutely, or it will die ont, Defeat svould be calamity, but delay is ruin. e- The Herold says New York gives the finish- ing blow to radical abMitionists at the ballot- loxes, They must now be removed to the back ground. Their overthrow will revive the hopes of the Union men at the North; and with the dispersion of the Rebel hosts in Virginia, we may now expect a general southern reaction in favor of the Unien,w hich will speedily end the rebellion. The Times says the vote in New York, asin Pennsylvania and the West, indicate a pro- found dissatisfaction with the method of the Agoministration in the conduct of the war, aad peremptory demand for the adoption of one Letcr adapted to the awful emergencies of the case. The President must not hesitate an hour to respond to the demand. He must instantly put in motion every arm of national power: There must be an end of excuses, apologies an@ delays. The country can no longer tolerate half-hearted connsels in the Cabinet or bal hearted leadership in the field. EALED PROPOSALS ago tavited until ¢
