Sherman Moved on the 12th. Friday, Nov. Gazette's Nashville correspondent furnishes definite and reliable news as to movements. The reports heretofore circulated of the destruction-of Atlanta were premature but now it may truly be said Rome and Atlanta are no more. The Western and Atlanta Railroad was also destroyed.

On Saturday morning the head of army headed out of Atlanta, and on the 15th headquarters would swing loose and follow. The destination of the army is known to the Government and Gen. Sherman. The rebels will hear of it by and by, and the first news of it will reach us via Richmond. The force under Sherman is a strong enough, no doubt, for the undertaking; and he has left sufficient men behind under Gen.

Thomas, to take care of Hood. The fact is Sherman is perfectly willing that Hood shall, in accordance with Jeff. threat press the soil of Tennessee, and move northward. It is sot his purpose to assail him or threaten him with his immediate command. Whatever opposition Hood may encounter will be from the forces under General Thomas.

What the course of the rebels will be when they ascertain real destination remains to be seen, if they suppose Tennessee has been stripped of troops, and move North under that impression, it is our opiuion that nothing more than the remnant of army will recross the Tennessee. And now while awaiting news from Sherman, we shall probably have stirring times in Tennessee. New York Nov. New York Times' Washington special says Richmond papers of Tuesday say Sherman left Atlanta on the 12th, moving northward, though they doubtless mean by that eastward on a northerly line. Indianapolis, Nov.

Journal of this city contains the following: A gentleman who left Atlanta on Saturday last informs us that the delay in movements was caused by the Paymasters paying the troops which had been entirely completed before ho left. At. he came through Kingston the 14th Corps, which is to bring up the rear of the army, was just moving out of that place. Gen. headquarters were at Kingston, and he was expecting to accompany the 14th Corps.

The General bad issued an order to his troops telling that they were about to enter upon an important campaign and that the country through which they were to pass had never been 4 occupied by either army and that they were expected to subsist off the country; they were to take all horses and mules within their reach. There were many other items of interest concerning intended movements, which it would not be prudent to publish. His army consists of four splendid corps. The 14th, in command of Gen. Jeff.

C. Davis; the 16th under Osterhaus the 17th. under Blair, and tho 20th, under Slocum. Fifteqp thousand cavalry, under Kilpatrick, and a brigade of artillery are added, making a total force of between fifty and sixty thousand men, the whole perfectly equipped, well supplied with war material, and imbued with as much pluck, confidence and good health as were ever compacted in any body of troops in the world. Our informant left Atlanta upon the same train with the Paymasters, which was understood to be the last train that would leave that city, and Atlanta is before this time pretty thoroughly destroyed that is all its public buildings, depots, manufactories, rendered worthless.

The railroads north and south of that city, and all the surrounding defensive works, destroyed. There is to be no turning back, and nothing left behind that might prove valuable to the enemy. General George 11. Thomas is at Chattanooga, organizing an army to attend to Hood, and is reported to have sufficient troops at command for an offensive movement whenever it is deemed necessary. Many military men assert that it will be impossible for Hood to escape South again Defense of the Navy Department, Donald McKay, the ship builder, whose, opinion is worth more than that of almost any other man in such matters, has written a defense of the Navy Department against the charges of mistake and inefficiency so freely made during the war.

He says that while in England he had free access to the private and Government ship-yards, and also in France, and that our vn do not suffer in comparison. At the opening of the war we had a fleet of twenty-five steamers, of speed varying from nine to twelve knots an hour: was the steam navy with which the Administration began the task of rigorously blockading 3,000 miles of the most difficult coast in the world, against the fastest and best steamers that the shops of England could produce, built exclusively for speed and blockade-running at the particular totalities in addition to which the oceans of the world were to be kept free of the steamers called Confederate cruisers, but which were in reality English pirates, being built in England, equipped wffli English guns, and manned by English crews, whose purpose was not to tight our cruisers as war vessels, but to plunder our sailing merchant ships, aud to keep out of the paths of our war steamers. The means at the command of the Administration for building a steam navy to achieve the herculean task just indicated, were about two dozen machine shops, great aud small, distributed from Maine to Maryland, many of them very small and without the tools, workmen, or skill requisite for the production of marine machinery. The first class shops did not exceed eight in number. Neither was there sufficient raw material in the country for the large and sudden demand the iron, copper, tin aud coal had to be mined and manufactured.

Hundreds of steamers, hundreds of locomotives, shops full of tools, tens of thousands of metal were called for instantly, and there was nothing on hand to answer the call. In this pressing emergency the Department did all that could possibly be done. It purchased every merchant ste; mer that could be converted into a blockading vessel or a war cruiser and the navy at this moment contains every merchant steamer of any size or excellence that has been built in the country. It set at work every steam engine factory in the land that could produce marine machinery. It considered all plans offered for armoring vessels, and tried many.

It instituted experiments in machinery, in ordnance, and in armor-plating. It covered the Mississippi and its tributary waters with an immense inland fleet, many of which were armored, and which, sweeping the rebels from these waters, have been an indispensable element to our holding the whole interior of the country, as it gives us the exclusive command of its water highways. It lined the Atlanta coast with such a bl ock adeing fleet as the world never witnessed befoiix and has practically closed the rebellious district to the world, the few vessels which succeed in running the blockade being too small to carry cargo sufficient to give aid of any consequence. The rebels have not been able to import even drugs enough to supply the medical department of its a'rmy. There are now in the navy, in active serv ice, 558 steamers, with an aggregate tonnage of 408,000 tons, against the original 26 steamers and 49,700 tons with which the war commenced.

Of this number 200 steamers, with an aggregate of 241,000 tons, have been built by the Department. In no country, and with such limited means, and under such difficult circumstances, has there ever been put afloat in the same time such immense naval armaments, in no place has there been any failure, but whenever the naval force moved victory followed. The rebel coast has been held with a grasp cf iron and nearly hermetically sealed. The pirates of the enemy have been followed around the world, aud captured wherever they could be found, and the internal navigation and command of this vast country has been kept open and in the hands of the Government. The naval administration has done all which any naval administration could do in such a war.

and it will still have to be relied on for a large portion of hat has been conquered. Let any one ask inseif the question how the contest would stand with the navy he would understand its necessity and the value oH he service it has She ghnojita fficia! Paper of the City, County and Post Office Thursday Morning, Nov. 24,1864 8. SCHOFF, C. WINKGAK 8.

Schoff Editor A few Friendly words to our foreign born Citizens. The late election has developed some curious facts, as well as some instructive lessons, if people would heed. We published a little item last week stating the fact that only niKF-of the 241 votes cast for McClellan in this city, were cast by native born citizens. Nobody was more astonished at this fact than the foreign a born citizens, themselves. Several of our most respectable citizens of foreign birth have called upon us first their unbelief, and when convinced' their astonishment at the fact They could not believe that they had been so unwittl led by a few political demagogues into an almost unanimoua foreign born party.

Of course we do not protend to say that no adopted citizens voted for Lincoln, for there were many, wo are happy to say, who were among the strong- est supporters of Lincoln and the Uni. n. This peculiarity of the vote of the foreign bom citizens is not confined to Kenosha city or county. We notice the same thing has caused remarks and statements similar to the one we made last week, in many of our exchanges. All over the country, almost the same unanimity of the native born population for the candidate of the Union party is exhibited.

They voted for the upholding and petpetuation of the free institutions and the free government under which they were born. They could not be cheated by tho promises nor threats, nor the misrepresentations of ambitious politicians, info a vote directly against their most vital interests. We write this in no spirit of complaint or ill will toward adopted citizens but to show them that a blind attachment to the name, Democracy, is not always the part of enlightened citizens. The men who took the lead of the opposition to the Administration, under the name oi democrats, cared very little for the principles cf Democracy. How much they care for democratic principles may be gathered from their coarse since their late defeat.

Many of the most influential papers of the inis-named democracy, have been urging their friends to migrate to Canada. They have praised th soil, the climate, and above all the government under which the Canadians live; not because there is more democracy there, but because the ruling power there is above and independent of the voice of the Toey do not hesitate to declare that a constitutional monarchy is far superior to a democratic Republican government. Our adopted citizens they would, derive a great lesson from this election. The candidate of the Union party has been elected by at least half a million majority on the popular vote, and this majority has come from the farming and laboring population. The large cities have almost all given majorities for McClellan, New York taking the lead and giving him almost majority.

That the great bulk of the vote given to at least nine tenths of been given by adopted citizens, there is every reason to believe. We fear it was not altogether an enlightened appreciation of democratic principles that influenced the greater share of this vote. But there was too much heed given to the frothy declamations of political speculators, who were anxious to get into power, and used the worn out and much abused name of democracy as about their sole stock in the venture. There has been no appeal to adopted citizens as such, to vote for one candidate, or to native born citizens to vote for the other. There has been no Know Nothing effort made, and yet, if that had been the sole question at issue, there could hardly have been a closer line drawn in this respect.

The Union canvass has been conducted only on the ground of restoring the Union, crushing the rebellion, and preserving the Liberty, the Free Government under which, as a nation, we have so wonderfully thriven, grown and prospered. On the other hand, the opposition started out with a platform that few could understand, which they claimed meant a suspension us hostilities, and a candidate whom they claimed would be in favor of a prosecution of the war until the rebellion was suppressed, and they christened both, platform and candidate, Democratic. Our adopted citizens may well believe that the great majority of native born citizens are attached to the free institutions of their country; that they are not going to conspire together to destroy those institutions and enslave themselves or allow others to do that, and if at any time they are at a loss how they should vote, we believe be perfectly safe in finding how a majority of native born citizens were going aid fall in with them. It is hardly fair to suppose that our adopted citizens, many of whom have been in this country but a few years, are better qualified to judge of men and principles than the great majority of native born citizens, and when they see the great body of the native population going one way, even though they may not be able to account for it satisfactorily, they may set it down as perfectly safe to follow on the same way. The New York speaking of this matter, says: know an election district in Westchester County wherein Mr.

Lincoln gains twenty-five votes, in good part by conversions, but these gains were balanced by twenty-six naturalizations, of laborers in a quarry, all of whom voted of course for McClellan. We have already instanced the township of Cliinton, on the St. Lawrence, newly settled with Irishmen and of course largely McClellan, but of whose sixteen native voters fifteen voted for Lincoln. It is like this throughout. In Pennsylvania, the McClellan vote is swelled by the mining Schuylkill, Berks, Columbia, Wayne, of the miners being foreign born apart fr oui these, the Lincoln majority is think not less than One Hundred Thousand in the aggregate vote of the State.

So this State, had the Right oi Sufi rage been restricted to natives, would have given our President more than One Hundred Thousand majority while New-Jersey and Delaware would both have supported him. We state these facts in no spirit of hostiaty to Adopted Citizens. We wage no war upon their rights and franchises. 0 We intend no impeachment of their integrity or their patriotism. They vote as they see fit; if they saw more clearly, we do not doubt they would vote more beneficently.

We only insist that due weight be given to the substantial unanimity ofouir American-born voters in upholding their Government. We ask that diplomatists and riters for foreign journals shall note the essential facts and not report us as almost equally divided on the main question, because Pat casts his vote (or votes) on the side which he is told is hostile to and struggling to roll bacK a threatened inundation of free black labor from the South. We do not believe a quarter of the descendants of the men who carried our country triumphantly through her Revolution are now found in the ranks of the The Election of Gin. Paine Certain. There is no local incident of the late campaign that gives us, as well as the union men of this county generally, more unalloyed pleasure than the election of the Patriot, Soldier, and Gentleman, Gen.

Halbert E. Paine, to represent us in the next Congress. Aside from what we know of the General, as a soldier in the field, who preferred to be placed under guard rather than to yield to the demands of the slave owners of the South, for the surrender of a faithful an efficient guide, and who when the time came, proved himself as brad gal ve anlant, as he was humane and generous, his appearance and speeches before our people both in country and city, made a most favoaable impression. It will be remembered that Gen. Paine, in the charge on the Rebel works, at Port Hudson, fell, wounded at the head and in advance of his regiment, where he lay most of the day, unable to help himself, although several attempts were made to bring him off.

The contrast between being represented in Congress by such a man, and misrepresented by Mr. James S. Brown, who silently and sullenly has voted with the copperheads throughout his term, without the spirit to say a word in defense of his course, will be peculiarly gratifying. We have no personal quarrel with Mr. Carey.

As a citizen and an able and talented member of his profession, we have respected him, but politically we occupy antipodal We can only hope that time will open his eyes to the true course for all loyal men i such a crisis of our common country. From the latest returns, it seems that Gen. Paine is elected by about 500 majority. That will do. We may now safely give three cheers for LINCOLN, PAINE THE UNION.

The Slavery Question at the The rebels of the south, who, it is sometimes said, seceded for the express purpose of getting rid of the abolitionists, and to enjoy the beauties of their unquestioned and uninterrupted, it seems, are still troubled with the question. A sharp discusssion is now going on in the rebel congress and through the rebel press, in regard to the question of arming the slaves, and emancipating them as a reward for fighting the battles of the Confederacy. President Davis, in his message to the rebel Congress opens the question, which is eagerly taken up, by congressmen and editors.and the discussion is ar lively and as acrid as it ever was betwee i southern fire eaters and northern abolitionists. So it seems the abolitionists were not altogether to blame. Northern apologists and defenders of the institution will have to own that Slavery itself is the out of which has evils they have deprecated.

We publish in another column items from southern papers giving us glimpses of this discussion. Should the war continue much longer, the rebels themselves will be the mostanx ious to the proclamation of emancipation in force, that the discussion and its cause may beforever got rid of together. The rebels will find if slavery is once disposed of, good and there will be no reason for longer continuing the struggle. The idea that they are fighting for their rights, liberty and independence, will appear as it really most silly nonsense, if the question can once come to be viewed without the false halo that slavery throws around it. Great Democratic democratic friends continue to console themselves on what they are pleased to call democratic gains, in all the States.

Those gains menced in Vermont and Maine, and continued to increase through Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania, until they counted them by hundreds of thousands, in the November elections. Let in the face of all these gains President Lincoln has a larger popular majority than has been given to any President in almost thirty years. The Verdict of the People. The result of the last election takes away all excuse for any cavil of faction that Mr. Lincoln is President by a The majority both of the popular vote and in tho electoral college is so owerwhelming that none can gainsay the verdict of the American people.

C. C.

Sholes, president, and Mr. Simmons, secretary of the Wisconsin State Telegraph Company, were in town this morning on business connected with their line in this State. They have completed arrangements for putting up another wire on the line between Milwaukee and this place, and it is probable that they will construct a line from Winona to St. Paul by way of Rochester and Owatonna. These additional facilities for obtaining news, when completed, we shall of course avail ourselves of for the benefit of our growing parish of Winona Republicanr There are some men who gain much popularity by expressing in a hearty manner much more than they feel.

They are delighted to see you they rejoice to hear that your health is improving and you, not caring to inquire how much substance there is behind these phrases, and not disinclined to imagine that your health is a matter of importance which people might naturally take interest in, enjoy this hearty but somewhat inflated welcome. The State Governments in 1865. In our joy over the re-election of Abraham Lincoln as President, and the election of a Congress in which three-fourths of the members of eaeh House will vote for the abolition of Slavery, we are apt to under estimate our gains in the State Governments. A cursory glance at them will show that they arc no less sweeping and no less important. We have a majority in each House of every Legislature of the original free States, with the sole exception of the Senate of New-Jersey.

The Senate of Indiana had until recently a Democratic majority of one, but the recent disclosures of the treasonable plots of the to which we are indebted for a gain of so many thousand votes at the late elections, have also carried over to our side one of the Senators, thus giving us a majority. We control, besides, both Houses of Legislatures of Nevada, West Virginia, Missouri, Louisiana, and Arkansas. In Maryland the Democrats have a majority of one in the Senate, but we have a large majority on joint This gives ns control of twenty-five Legislatures. If Congress should vote for an amendment to the Constitution abolishing Slavery such amendment must be ratified bv threefourths of the State Legislatures or of State Conventions, as Congress may propose. In case the by the time of the adoption of this amendment, should not yet be completely subdued, Congress will have to decide whether a three-fourths majority of all the States or only of the States actually in the Union shall be required.

Even in the former case, it will be seen from our above statement, we are now very near having the required three-fourtbs majority. The political complexion of the next Legislature to be chosen in Tennessee will, without doubt, be anti-Slavery, and the same will be the case with the Legislatures of the new States, Colorado and Nebiaska. These three States will give us 29 Legislatures out of 38, the number requisite. We need no longer fear any factious opposition from the State Executives. The Governors of all the twenty-nine States which we just enumerated are loyal and anti-Slavery men, with the exception only of the Governors of New-Jersey and Kentucky.

Rebel sympathizers in England will have no longer a Governor Seymour to whom they can look for the inauguration of civil war in the North. There is now the greatest harmony between the National Government and the State omen more for the spredy suppression of the Y. Tribune. From Madison. Madison, Nov.

The fith cavalry adds 32 majority to this. The 17th, Irish, as far as heard from gives Thomas 2 majority. Bentley gets one vote in the Otli infantry and one in the 13th battery to offset the vote of the 17th. This makes the Union majority in Senate one better. It has been very cold here, yesterday and to-day, the thermometer ranging from zero to four degrees below.

Majority over total electoral vote of the United States, including that of all the seceded States, would have been 321, necessary to choice, 161. Mr. Lincoln has received the vote of States having 213 electors, so that if all the States had voted, and the rebel states had gone solid for Mc- Clellan, he would have had a majority of 52 in the Electoral College. We shall hear no moie of Mr. being a minority President.

Sufficient additional returns of votes are received to wipe out the home majority in the First Congressional District against General Paine, and give him about 50 clea rmajority withthe 28th regiment and others still to be heard from, which will make it 356 or more. The 22d regiment, complete, gives Paine 207 and Cary 2 The 24th, all but Co. gives Paine 101 and Cary 45. The 26th (German) gives Paine 44 and Cary 43.

Comparatively.little has been done hithsrto by even the churches for these marked sufferers. The Government acknowledges that the divine controversy with the nation is concerning them, and yet leans rather upon munitions of war than upon the execution of justice. And even the churches seem to share to an extent, the seal for war, withholding or lessening their gifts if some relation to the war does not urge appeal. 5. Close indeed then is our connection with the war' We are laboring caiefly among the wives and children of our colored soldiers, 200,000 of whom are already in the ranks, leaving behind them a million of homeless, wandering dependants, with whom they have but rare and uncertain means of communicating; whose faces they are, in most cases, certain to see no more.

For these colored soldiers of the Union there are no Aid Societies plying loving loving and busy fingers; for their families no corporations or friendly neighbors making provision. The patrons of the Aid Commissions are their only neighbors in the Good Samaritan acceptation of the term. These black soldiers spare to our horn 200,000 husbands, fathers, brothers, sons; save to the national trtasury large sums of money, and to the local tax payers heavy bounties. They make the best of soldiers, beside being the cheapest. Shall we be patriots if we leave their wives to want and their little ones to ignorance and vice! This appeal will reach many churches who have recently contributed to our treasury or forwarded stores to our warehouse.

We trust tint few of these will think past gifts sufficient while the need so presses and increases.

Davis calls out sharp criticising from the Richmond newspapers, In his message the rebel chief says he cannot see the propriety or necessity of arming elayes while there are yet many white men out of the ranks- But he reccommends the arming and drilling of such negroes as are already employed in the quartermaster and commissary departments, and filling their places by a draft of negroes from the planters. lie would give the reward of manumission, he adds, to such glaves only as shah have served efficiently with the armies, in the field.

The Richmond Whig finds a monstroaa heresy in these expressions. It says propositions are plainly deducible from the message which we cannot for a moment believe he would deliberately give his sanction to; and the first is that the oondition of freedom is so much better for the slave than that of servitude; and that it may be bestowed upon him as a reward or boon the second thfctthe Confederate Government had a right to acquire possession of slaves by purchase or impressment with compensation and then emancipate them without the consent of the states, or in case of impressment without the consent of the masters. The first proposition is 3 reduction of the opinion held by the whole south and by a large portion of mankind ot other countries, that servitude is a divinely appointed condition for the highest good of the slave, and that condition in which the negro race especially may attain the highest intellectual advancement of which they are may enjoy most largely ofcucb comforts and blessings of life as are suited to them. Of this we have no doubt; and we hold it to be an act of cruelty to deprive the slave of the carp and guardianship of a master. If the slave must fight he should fight for the blessings he enjoys as a slave, and not for the miseries that would attend him freed.

The second proposition is more startling. It is a concession that the confederate government has the power and right to exterminate slavery by the simple process of impressing or purchasing all the slaves and then emancipate them. Lincoln has never gone so far as this, for in his plan for compensating emancipation he expressly referred the question to the states, acknowledging that they only could determine it. It is unnecessary to dwell on this subject, we are perfectly sure that the president could never have designed to give his assent to so monstrous a proposition as this. The multiplicity and magnitude of the subjects that claim bis attention will suggest a sufficient excuse fhr inadvertence of expression and immaturity of views, from which theories, so out of place in a communication from the president of these slaveholding states, are deducible, touching the employment of slaves in the public defense.

THE LATE MTOKIU ON THE LAKEN. Fifty nmd a piillion of Property Destroyed (From the Detroit Free Press, Nov, 15.) The arrival down of the lanje fleet due trom Lake Michigan, has brought more definitely intelligence of the damage sustained among the shipping by the late gale; yet. with all tbeinformation at hand, one half of the numerous disasters which have occurred are not yet heard of. and some time will elapse, doubtless, ere the full may come to band.
