JTHE EAGLE D. J. CALLEN, Editor. DECATUR, INDIANA. FRIDAY, MOV. is. IM4. THE ELECTION. The Election is over, and the fate of 'he nation, as far as the election franchise has power to decide, is decided. Abraham Lincoln has reinstated himself bv denying to a portion of the American people the right of voting and by extending to another portion who were under his direct control and supervision the privilege of voting, when, where, and as often as they pleased. Judging from the past what are we to expect in the future, bnj a re-enactment of the proceedings of the last four years, a sob“r review of the history of the present administration demonstrates to us conclusively that it is the object of the party in power, and has been the object of the leaders of the party ever since the first foundation of the | present system of Government to abolish it, and establish in its place a government, under which civil rights would be held and enjoyed only at the pleasure of the reigning monarch. Abraham Lincoln, the leader of the party that entertains these principles, has re-elected him self by reducing them to practice. He is now firmly established on the throne, and will issue his royal edicts in imitation of the Emperor of Austria. Are you ready for this ’ Are you ready to submit to the yoke of tyranny and despotism ? Will you humblv submit to 1 don the shackles that the Tyrant Lincoln and his party have been forging fc the last eighty years ? Or, will yon send , up a protest to the rulers at Washington . that will make the tyrants tremble, and , their chief abdicate remember that when I yon once surrender your liberties, they are gone forever for never in the history of the world from the fall of Judea down to the present day ? Has a nation re- i gained its liberties, after it had <mce surrendered them. Roam once the pride; and boast of the world, allowed her liberties to be taken from her. and now all that remains of her greatness is the recollec ion of what she was ? Shall it be ! thus recorded of ns that we were once the greatest and most prosperous people 1 on the Globe, but that we are now the i slaves of tyrants? We think not, for history teaches us that there is a point i Itevond which the people will not be dri-. ven, and at which forbearance ceases to 1 be a virtue. ewA. threshing machine must hereafter be ranked as an instrument of war. It is said that Early, in his raid, on tha Shenandoah Valley, just after the people

of the valley had ent their grain, had a train of over two hundred machines, with which he threashed the newly-reaped and abundant harvest, as he went carrying off the grain wi'h him. What would our fanners think should twenty-five thousand inen preceded by innumerable wagons and two hundred threashing machines sweep along through Jay. Adams, vllen and other counties, carrying away the year’s croc with them. It would be a sight worth seeing, but we should hardly like to stand the expense, as this region of Virginia has repeatedly been overrun by both armies. The farmers sow with a full a«s>ironce that their crops will be carried off by one party or the other Early's harvesting in the Shenandoah. while Grant was trying to starve Loe out of Richmond, was one of the i shrewdest operations of the campaign. THE NEWS It is reported that Early has been! ioi»cd bv the frwee« of Longstreet and ■ Bre' kimidge. making bis nrtny much larger than ever before : and intelligence of importance t'-bel movements on the Upper Potomac is expected at any moment. The opinion prevails that Grant will make a move of some kind in the course of a few days. There is a “pretty well authenticated rumor" from the army of the Potomac that, the rebels are about evacuating Petersburg. Guerrillas have crossed the Potomac —in what force is not stated : «nd the citizens of the border towns of Pennsylvania are arming to repel the ders. Gen. Sherman is said to have with him a force of about 50.000 men. a storv is afloat in New York that the efpetition was undertaken in consequence of an assurance of ’eading Georgians, iu-

eluding Vice President Stevens and Gov. Brown, that Georgia would secede from the confederacy if Sherman would march ’ through the state and take possession of charleston and Saeannah. a rumor is current of the capture ot Augusta by the federals. The resignation of Gen. Mcclellan has been accepted by the Preddent; and' Gen. Sheridan has been appointed a Major General in the regular army, to fill’ the vacancy. I On Monday evening Postmaster Kelly, l of New York, received a dispatch—which has failed as yet of confirmation • —stating that Stanton had been appoint ed chief-justice, and Banks secretary of war. The exchange of 16,000 prisoners on each side, at some place oa the Savannah river, was to commence oh Saturday last all arrangements therefor having been completed on the day previous. Th- administration, it is intimated, ( will apologize to Brazil for the violation |of her neutrality in the capture of the Florida, but will not restore that vessel to the position from which she was ta ken. “conspiracies” arc rife, rhe last one discovered is in Kentucky, its object be-, ing, not to take the state over to the confederacy, but to make it independent of the federal g>vernrae«t. Price’s losses, during the recent campaign in Missouri and Kansas, are stated at 3,700 killed and wounded, and 3,000 , prisoners, while the total federal casualties are put at 1,000. OBEYING INSTRUCTIONS. | Mr. Tobin, the new President, of the i Hudson River Railroad is a millionaire. ; He is not yet forty years of age. He bei can file as a steamboat clerk with Com i Vanderbilt. When he took his position 1 the commodore gave him two orders, first to collect fare of everrbodv and have no I dead heads on the boat. Second, to start i the boat on sime, and wait for nobody. j I The Commodore then lived at Staten ■ Island. Tobin oeved his orders so literally that; he collected fare of the Commodore on I the first evening, and left him ou the ] whari next morning, ns the boat could i not wait. The Commodore was Coming down the wharf leasure'y, and supposed 1 of course, the boat would wait for him- ' He proved a man after Vanderbilt's own ; heart. He became his confidential clerk and broker,bought and sold harlem, and made for himself a fortune. i'-?-Tiie “ cheekiest 1 ’ individual that ever! | lived was Robert Heron—a man of culti- | vated powers and unwearied industry, but loose in his morals, and therefore corrupt in his principles. He on one occasion wrote and publshed a critique on

I a performance at Drury Lane Theater, i containing some strictures in the grossest . language on several of the players; but j 5 it turned out that in some cause the play . ' lor the evefiing was changed; and then,as apology, he stated that if it had been pet- , ■ formed his structurs would have been true ! Why Richmond was not Assaulted. — 1 The Washington correspondent of the ' Chicago Times, -peaking of the recent electioneering advance against Richmend, f says : < Gen Grant wishes an assault to be made, i however, by the co ps of Ilan-cock and • Warren on the right of the enemy ’ line, j near the point where the Boyntonplankrod • crosses Hatcher’s run, in order that, by . earning the Confederate works, he mig- i' ht strike the Lynchburg railroad at a' I point about twelve miles west of Peters- 1 burg. harping on my daughter. ’ * . he still hankers afters Lynchburg an! , I the Lynchburg railroad. General Han- ■ I cock and General Warren,however,who. ■ understand perfectly the nature nt such an undertaking, gave General Mead to i understand that, While they were willing ' 'to lead their men to ana ssault whore there was the prospect of success, they | would not send their soldiers —-men who trusted in them impjicity —to certain death, where no results conic possibly be I achieved. General Meat sustained his! corps commanders,anc the result was that , Grant, wee obliged to order Hancock's coaps <0 fall back as stated above. Grenl’s thirst for blood, however, has ' already cost Hancock the lives of three' ' hundred of his men. It was the least, ■ that General Meade could do to say in bis report that whatever measure of success had a’tended the movement was due to ■ the personal gallantry o* General Han- ■ cock and Brigadier General Egan- that I is true. Those noblemen —two of the finest officers of the old army of the Potomac Genernls who have been baptized, with the blood of every battle from Williamsburg .to Petersburg—refused to let their men go where they would not I lead them they did lead them where they did go, rnr amerci'ul Provid ance alone preserved I

I' , I their lives for still more glorious deeds, and let us hope for better days. FORTUNE TELLING.
