The Worderful Results of Our Late Elec- tions—The Next Congress. ‘The results cf our late elections in the great States of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana have taken all parties by surprise. Look; for exam- ple, at the representatives elected from these States to the next as compared with those of the present Congress. Or compare ali the elections thus far made to the next Congress with the representation in the last of the several States concerned, and mark how broad and comprehensive ig the reaction in public opinion indicated in the losses of the republican party:— Present Congress.

B Rs Tot I ‘31 Democratic GAIN... sessererreesisseeerecieees LB These figures exh{blt the most remarkable political revolution at the ballot boxes ef the last half century. The republican party is in possession of the goyernment. This party has thus the disbursement of public expenditures amounting to six hundred millions of dollars per annum—a sum compared with which the patronage of any preveidling administration sinks into a mere bagatelle. The contrast :is’ im- mengely magnified, if we consider the fact tbat, in consequerice of this rebellion, one-fliird of the States of the Union ate exeluded from the b fits of these six hundred millions of public ex- penditures, But against all the corrupting in- fluences of this enormous mass of patronage, this revolution of public sentimeat has ripened into action, This is truly wonderful more wonderful is the quiet and nois: ner in which this work has been acy The first election of General Jacko jency marked a great revolution in our political parties; but it was the result of years of hurd and systematic electioneering, and only secured after Jackson had run one unsuccessfnj race over the Presidential course. The election of General Harrison in 1840 was by a popular uprising which swept the country like a tor- nado; but this was the result of the disastrous financial revulsion with which the country was reduced to bankruptcy under Van Buren’s ad- ministration, and the work of an active opposi- tion Presidential campaign which converted the whole land into fantastic log cabin and hard cider processions, eclipsing anything of fantas- tics ever exhibited in a Roman carnival. The election of poor Pierce was another political re- volution; but it resulted fed the great peadé measure of 1950 and from the prevailing public apprehension that the whig party coxld not be safely trusted, with its abolition affiliations: Hence that great and proud old party, thotigx rallying under the powerful name of Genera! Scott, went down in that campaign, and never to rise again. The election of President Lincoln—the most remarkable, interesting and momentous in the history of the Union—marked another revolu” tion in the public mind; but we trace it back six years to that bargain and sale between poor Pierce and the leaders of the Southern democra- cy, involving the repeal of the Missouri compro- mise. In fact, all our previous elections? embrac- ing a decisive reaction against the party in power, have been the slow achievements of time, in- cessant party labor, and incessant and universal agitation, engrossing the public attention for years, day and night, to the exclusion of all other matters. But here, in 1862, we have the most important political revolution of all; and of disgust and repentance; the e n of Governor conservative whig--over a rabid and radical se- cessionist has she betrayed her willingness to return to the Union with the first sale and in- viting opportanity, Nor can it be supposed that the people of North Carola have been indifferent to the consequences of this war in Virg nia.

Accordingly we attach some degree of importance to it, and believe that it is the initiative step which will secure North Carolina to tle old flag before the lst of Jantary. Let this be done aud Virginia is at once subdued, and the whole superstruc- ture of the Jeff. Davis confederacy tumbles to the ground, and with it all the mad schemes of our fanatical abolition faction for “the extirpa- tion of Southern slavery by the sword, regard- less of the consequences. Phe Nation una the People Agatnst Trai- tors North and South. The abolition party has the singular morit of exposing its own hypocrisies and incon- eistencies, It flatly and repeatedly con- dicts itself without the slightest hesi- veo All the terrible charges which are made againat Wiha which have condemned it with the people, are justified by the utterance of its own orators and organs. We accusé the abolition party of threatening to hang all its opposers, and Cassius M. Clay denies the charge and repeats the threat in the same speech. The Tribune denies. and Wendell Puillips confesses the fact that abolitionists are disunionists upon principle. The infamous corruptions of aboli- tionists in office are alternately denied and ad- mitted by thé abolition papers. The Tribune aud Times formerly supported’ Wadsworth be- cause he is an enemy of McClellan, and now Strive eagerly to prove that he is McClellan’s best friend.

The abolitionists former! y organized Jobn Brown raigg, and now attempt to trans- form gure ole loyal army into a John Brown’s orps, and threaten the President with revoln- tion and a Northern civil war unleas he shall sanction this attempt. In what, then, are the abolitionists less gnilty of treason than the se- cossionists? Only in the overt act of civil war-—not in the intention or the conspiracy to carry out that intention. But if Wadsworth bg elected, and refuse the President troops and supplies, as Tremaine promises, what will fol- low?

At New Orleans Gen. Butler has more negroes to feed than he has soldiers, and at Hilton Head and other points occupied by our troops the difficulty of pro- viding for them, if not quite as great, is con- stantly on the {moreasa. Although some can be employed in the construction of fortifications, or as servants or nurses, there is a limit to these occupations, and a large number have nothing to do but to live and fatten on the bounty of the government. In addition to these able- bodied idlers, a large $roportion of “the contra- bands who come within our lines is composed of women and children, who cannot be put by the military authorities to work of any kind: These have all tobe fed and clothed, and it may readily be imagined what a source of per- plexity and anxiety they prove to a govern- ment which finds it difficult, through bad man- agement or otherwise, to provide for the neces” sities of its own soldiers.

And, as we have just shown, about two-thirds of them will be a dead weight from the impossibility of finding them employment. The problem involved in the question of their support has,as it may be supposed, preoccu- pied the minds of all real friends of the negro, and more particularly of the heads of the army: It has been thought by some that in Massachu- setts, Vermont and other States, where so much sympathy bas been lavished on him, and government. would be compromised before it got into the courts.

We are confident, too, that New York, on Tuesday next, will re-echo the voice of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. We cannot be mistaken in this reaction fusing more vigor into the war,” the abolition- ists have repeatedly declared that they mean doing more for the abolition of slavery. Both practically and logically, there. fore, the abolition candidate for Licuten- ant Governor, speaking in the presence and with the sanction of General Wadsworth announees that the policy of an abolition Gov- ernor of this State will be to refuse the requests of the President for troops, supplies and money, unless the President will consent to carry out the whole abolition programme of “infusing more vigor into the war” by attacking slavery instead of the rebellion, and making this a war against slaveholding and not against treason. i We add this to the already numerous proofs of folly Sravasunac nee Ci Fig the anarchical and revolutionary designs of the lace it in the eame list ‘ York | abolition leaders.

Impressed with this belief, Major Bolles, of General Dix’s staff, wrote to Governor Andrew, asking him to provide an asylum for them in Massachusetts until the government could colonize them. What do bur readers suppose was the Governor's reply? He promptly and decidedly declared his dis- approbation of the whole scheme, adding that the contrabands were not wanted in Massachu- setts, and that they are or soon will be wanted elsewhere.

It was necessary te put howitzer shell through two very thick cast fros ‘and two wrought iron boilers, The bulldings were thea burned.

The expedition owas entirely successful. Some twonty-sight botlers wer® destroyed, and all the buildings within reach destroyed but two upon Way Key. No confusion was exhibited is landing, nor was there any departure from the instrue- tions given prior to it, There was no useless expenditure ‘of ammunition, and no one was burt.
