A Rebel View of the Coming United States
Presidential Election.
Leap year brings round again in the United
States the turmoil and excitement of a Presidential election. Events of fearful weight and importance bave passed in the interval which has
elapsed since we of the South descended into that
arena and took part in the struggle. They have
made a hideous and bloody gulf, which blbcks up
all return to the feelings and the interest which
swayed us then. Yet, as it bears upon the prospects
and vicissitudes of this ruthless war, we must look
with watchfulness and curiosity upon the recurrence of that periodical struggle lor place and
power. Although it is difficult to penetrate the
dark curtain of the future, and to discern exactly
how our own welfare may be affected by the political complexion of the United States, yet it is
evident that the whole solution ofthe mighty ques"
tion which agitates the continent may hang upon
It, and scarcely possible that it will not be essentially concerned by it. Lincoln's term draws rapidly to a close. Already it is counted by monthB
instead of years.
The political eauldrbn is beginning to buble.
and expectation is aroused to see wbat form will
emerge from its agitated depths. Caucusses, con,
vendees, resolutions, platforms, and all tbe paraphernalia which is adroitly managed to form and
guide popular will, and which, in representative
governments, takes the place of courtly pemp,
raree-shows and military display in monarchical
countries are in full rogue. The Democrats present resolutions of patriotic adherence to the Constitution, and, imitating the Black Republicans in
their fondness for anniversaries, fix their national
convention for the Fourth of July. Chicago is the
place, perhaps, under the idea (hat it is lUeky.
Lincoln is by no means disposed to give place to
any olher candidate. At one time it might have
been supposed that he would dispense entirely
with the formality of an election, and retain his
seat on the pretext of the necessity of so doing until the termination ofthe war.
To do this would require tbe cordial support of
tbe army, and tbe soldiers will naturally be disposed to resist the excluEsion of their own favorite
chief. The United States have leached tbat stage
iu the progress of war when military talent asserts
its supremacy over all others. The favorite of the
army is, therefore, Lincoln's probable successor.
Iu his own Cabinet, too, there are rival claims to
his own. The subtle intriguer, Seward seems to
have had his day. Through a powerful agent in.
exciting the war, he is not the temperament fitted
to "ride on the whirlwind and direct the storm,"
CbaBe is the most powerful of the civilians, and he
is the favorite of Greeley and the radicate. Offi->
cial influence and corruption will, of course, be
brought to bear in favor of the different politicians,
yet military popularity iB likely to override them
all.
It is hard to forecast the effect of this election
upon the progress of the war. It is safe to inter,
however, that any change will be beneficial tothe
South. Lincoln and his party are so irrevocably
committed to, and indissolubly linked with^ the
continuance'of the war, that we can hope fof no
peace from them save by utter exhaustion ofthe
means of prosecuting it. Ii they are driven from
power, they will become embittered opponents of
tbeir sUcessors, even if they should adopt a warlike
policy, and will prove a formidable obstacle to its
successful maintenance.
Although a military President might be supposed
to be naturally warlike, it by no means follows.
Unwilling to imperil his reputation, and, like
most soldiers, more sensible to the evils of war
than bloodthirsty politicians, a general in power
would probably seek an accommodation. At all
events the elevation of a new man would remove
the medley of fanatics and rogues who now close
every outlet from the present calamituous war. If
not immediately operative, it would, at all events,
give some ground for the hope that both the confederacy and the United States, as well as humanity
in general, might be relieved from the misfortunes
which the most shameless and obstinate wicked-
Butler Among tiie Prisoners at Point Elodlfcout*
■P?rom the Richmond Examiner, Dec. 30.]
The five bnndred paroled Confederate prisoners
who arrived in this city on Mbnday MgfiV, . are
mostly from Louisiana and Maryland. They were
escorted to the parole "Camp-at Camp Lee, except a
few who obtained furloughs to remain in thiB city
The prisoners relate a-nd incident that octeVirt-ed on
tho 24th inst at Point Lookout, in Maryland, uipon
the occasion "of the visit of Butler, the "cross-eyei
tyrant," to the prisoners' camp. He came with big
staff surrounding his mailed carass, aud a couple
of hundred mounted goard forming a solid phalanx
about him, or dashing hiiher and thither. The
Beast, foa.tbe first time in his Miliary experience,
was in the midst of eight or ten thousand of the men
he had most reason to fear, even without arms, and
his guilty CoWard soul must have trembled as their
yells, jeers and hissing volley of hatre'd, contempt!
and derision smote upon him like a pelting storm.
The Louisianians were particularly exasperated
ijnd seemed feint upon peasonal barm to the wretch
who'dared, while conscious of security to insult
them by his presence, like the jackall that dances
in front of the snared lion.
But better counsel prevailed. A wall sixteen
*eet high inclosed tbem, with cannon mounted and
pointed from the block-house, ready to B'weefc) tiiem
with grape.
The Beast, less noble fa SappeaSrance than the
animal he rode, signified that he wished to Bpeak
to some of the prisoners, and Btruck up a conversation with a equad concerning the rations furnished.
Learning the quantity and quality he said' they
were entitled to more and should receive it. This
was evidently a compromise dodge ofthe old blear-
eyed blasphemer, and was intended to conciliate
tbe jeers, taunts and curses that belabored him on
every side ; such as. '-What will you take for your
head?" YOulobster-eyed Bon ofa ;" "fay
me the money you robbed me of in New Orleans;"
"Why don't you fight men and not women ?"—
When did you fight your last battle ?" ''How much
are„you worth, you burglar?" "Oh, bag Jour
head.-' Why didn't you come to see us on the
battle field ?" etc.
These expressions were delivered ill the while
Butler was speaking, and at the close bf his remarks
he rode off with his staff ahd body guard, as he
came, the butt of a thousand jokes and jeers. .
The exhibition of the Beast in the midst bf disarmed prisoners places the CowardicS of the abject
wretch in a most despicable light. Knowing that
he was justly hated by ttiem for the nnmerous
wrongs practiced Upon them, and afraid to meet
them iij the field, with arms in their hands and
their flag overhead, he chose td appear amflng
them when he knew his person, while Secure from
harm, Would add insult tb injury they had already
cuffered at his stained, unholy and sacreligous
hands.
Abolition IIecency.—The following appears as
an editorial in the Stockton Independent:
Drunken Senators—McDougiil, of California
and Richardson, of Illinois,, are the only habituaj
drunkards of the Senate. McDougal IS harlnies
in his cups, he goes out horse-back riding, falls
into a butter, and the small bays rally round him
and have a little fun at his expense. He seldom
troubles the Senate Chamber with his presence.
Richardson, however, is disgusting with his bacchanalian revelries—alway, obtrudes himself u^ion
the Senate when scarcely able to stand erect—always, Unfortunately for bim&l'f and his State, in
bis seat to be pointed at from the galleries, and
have his Uame given to oft'jrepeated question
"who ie that drunken fellow over there ?"
Of Mr McDougal we have no delense to offer
His moral character is just wbat it was wbeu h'e
reiteived the votes of every Administration member of the California Legislature for the dignified
position which his habits degrade, and would never have been expected to by the party which
elected him, had he proved as supple a tool of tbe
abolitionists as Jobn Conness. The statement In
ragard to Richardson Is as foul a lie aB ever Was
penned. At last accounts be had not been in tbe
Senate Chamber during the present session, bating
been detained at home in attendance on his Sick
wife, fulfilling the duties of a detoted husband
and father of a family. Had the disgusting ss£hi-
bitions attributed to Richardson been charged to
Zach Cbandfer, of -'blood letting," notoriety, they
would have been literally true, ^o' fair minded
man will claim that even McDougal is not the superior in every charahteristic of a Senator anef a
gentleman, of Chandler, Wade, Hale and Jim Lane
all models of loyalty. The malignant and intole-.
rant spirit of abolitionism is exhibited in maligning the personal character of all who disagree
with it.—S. F. Press.
THE lNBVAKT PJRISVCE. ,;
Tbe Prince and Prince's Of Wales haVe a Sorts,
Th'e English papers are full of tbe news, abd of the
so-called "romantio" incidents wbitebi are said td
have attended tbe birth of the ne* Prince, liven
the thundering Times and the arristocratic Post
seems to take great delight in these toyal trivialities.
It appears that the little PriiJCe'catae before he
was e&peoted. Some of tbe paperB "say. that he
iB a premature child, but others again deny this
Statement.—Some say that he 'weighed hine
pounds when he was born ; others Bay that he
weighed only six'; and others that he was hot
weighed at all! What difference dose it teake, JO
lords and commons of England?
But, as we have Baid, tta \iiiVe fellow 'cafae tt'rt-
'expectedly. The pbyel'ci&n In ordinary of thd
princess was telegraphed for-. The special accoucheur was telegraphed for. feut before either
of them could arrive at Frogmore, a CqSlttty Burgeon named Brown—of all nameB in the WtiHIii—
bad l&£ "honor" of bringing the baby into thd
light of day. Ail the English papers refer gravely to this "romantic" facti
only by accident a Cabinet Minister was pr'esBhl
at the birth, Lord Granville had accepted ah invitation from the prince of Wales for a day's
sporting, and so happened to be on hand wheh
wanted. The English papers lay great stress on
this lucky accideht. Gdoddess gracious'. What
would have become ot Great Britain if the babi1
had been born Without a Cabinet Minister to sed
fair b!ay and prevent scandal I The world Wohld
bave come tb an leiid, surely. So we congratulate
Lord Granville and the British nation! '
And then the royal infant came very near boi
having any clothes. The Prince's wardrobe waS
not ready for him, as he was not eipScted for
some time to come. Ode bf the English fournaW
thus deliberately remarks : Had it not been fof
the experience of the Countess of Macelbsfield, a
mother of many children-, the poor little Prince
would have found himself in as Unprovided it
case as the child of the poorest Berkshire day-
laborer.'*—Happy Countess of Macclesfield, mother of ihaUy children !
But; Besides, the Baby had nd nurse. B-r. Sie^a^
king found him one, howevei-; frdm tttet HatS tit
a public hospital; Perhaps ourlady readers will
be gratified to Know that she is a Mrs Conner—"a
married woman bf irreprobhable charaoter, good
health and antecedents, and JiosSeSSing the requi- -
site physical qualities." Also that "the little
Prince feeds well and is in excellent heallh." Also that "he will be suCkled by a wet nurse."
The baby looks like his father. Of course he\
does. What first baby ever not? The Londod
Lanctt sayS : "He is said td present already
stricking likeness to his royal father, his featured
being Unusually well marked." We are Very sorry for tbe little Prince, since his father is by nd
mSans a handsome taan. His nose isjtdo long and
his head is very badly shaped. He would do better to look like his mother, if he can. He is to be
named Albert, they say after his young father; but
that is not yet decided.
For the rest, the Prince bf WalSs takes'fhatterl
very c'oblly and goes out shooting regularly. The
Princess is as well as could be expected," and bulletins of her health are issued daily. All the sovereigns of Europe have sent telegrams of Congru-J
lations, and there is as much fusS about (his baby
in the world. We pit^ him as a P'rftfdtf tfith ali
his troubles before him. By tbe time he gets to be'
a man, England may be bltfted o'ut existence. Thd'
palaver she makes out of his birth proves her to be
in her dotage, and after dotage comes—death—N:

Ho-mantic; Story.—By direction of the President, private George Roland, of the Fifth Rhodfe
Island artillery, has been released from the service, Roland We understand, is an assumed name,
and the person who bears it is the son of an English nobleman, with an income of ten thousand'
dollars a year. He came to .tfas country about
twelve months since on a tour of .pleasfffe', with
sufficient money to meet the expenses ofa year's
travel, but, falling among sharpers, he was soon relieved of his well filled purse, and while he waa
awaiting a remitance from home the draft took
place in Rhode Island. Here was an opportunity
jo obtains money immediately by offering himself as
a substitute, and be accepted it. In company srith
others he was forwarded to the Fifth regiment; but
war had no charms for him, and he soon began to
look about for means of obtaining an honorable discharge. This, however, was no easy matter.—
Many were the suggestions offered by bis comrades,
but they all proved abortive. A few months since,
upon promise of receiving a commission, he sacrificed a large sum of money, which was spent in
raising a company ofvo'unteers in New York.—
HiB plan was to accept the commission and then re-'
sign. After the company was filled-up, however;
he failed to get the appointment. His case was
finally made known to the President, and he-haS
now received an honorable discharge.—Provi-

A Rebel View of the Coming United States Presidential Election. Leap year brings round again in the United States the turmoil and excitement of a Presidential election. Events of fearful weight and importance bave passed in the interval which has elapsed since we of the South descended into that arena and took part in the struggle. They have made a hideous and bloody gulf, which blbcks up all return to the feelings and the interest which swayed us then. Yet, as it bears upon the prospects and vicissitudes of this ruthless war, we must look with watchfulness and curiosity upon the recurrence of that periodical struggle lor place and power. Although it is difficult to penetrate the dark curtain of the future, and to discern exactly how our own welfare may be affected by the political complexion of the United States, yet it is evident that the whole solution ofthe mighty ques" tion which agitates the continent may hang upon It, and scarcely possible that it will not be essentially concerned by it. Lincoln's term draws rapidly to a close. Already it is counted by monthB instead of years. The political eauldrbn is beginning to buble. and expectation is aroused to see wbat form will emerge from its agitated depths. Caucusses, con, vendees, resolutions, platforms, and all tbe paraphernalia which is adroitly managed to form and guide popular will, and which, in representative governments, takes the place of courtly pemp, raree-shows and military display in monarchical countries are in full rogue. The Democrats present resolutions of patriotic adherence to the Constitution, and, imitating the Black Republicans in their fondness for anniversaries, fix their national convention for the Fourth of July. Chicago is the place, perhaps, under the idea (hat it is lUeky. Lincoln is by no means disposed to give place to any olher candidate. At one time it might have been supposed that he would dispense entirely with the formality of an election, and retain his seat on the pretext of the necessity of so doing until the termination ofthe war. To do this would require tbe cordial support of tbe army, and tbe soldiers will naturally be disposed to resist the excluEsion of their own favorite chief. The United States have leached tbat stage iu the progress of war when military talent asserts its supremacy over all others. The favorite of the army is, therefore, Lincoln's probable successor. Iu his own Cabinet, too, there are rival claims to his own. The subtle intriguer, Seward seems to have had his day. Through a powerful agent in. exciting the war, he is not the temperament fitted to "ride on the whirlwind and direct the storm" CbaBe is the most powerful of the civilians, and he is the favorite of Greeley and the radicate. Offi-> cial influence and corruption will, of course, be brought to bear in favor of the different politicians, yet military popularity iB likely to override them all. It is hard to forecast the effect of this election upon the progress of the war. It is safe to inter, however, that any change will be beneficial tothe South. Lincoln and his party are so irrevocably committed to, and indissolubly linked with^ the continuance'of the war, that we can hope fof no peace from them save by utter exhaustion ofthe means of prosecuting it. Ii they are driven from power, they will become embittered opponents of tbeir sUcessors, even if they should adopt a warlike policy, and will prove a formidable obstacle to its successful maintenance. Although a military President might be supposed to be naturally warlike, it by no means follows. Unwilling to imperil his reputation, and, like most soldiers, more sensible to the evils of war than bloodthirsty politicians, a general in power would probably seek an accommodation. At all events the elevation of a new man would remove the medley of fanatics and rogues who now close every outlet from the present calamituous war. If not immediately operative, it would, at all events, give some ground for the hope that both the confederacy and the United States, as well as humanity in general, might be relieved from the misfortunes which the most shameless and obstinate wicked- Butler Among tiie Prisoners at Point Elodlfcout* ■P?rom the Richmond Examiner, Dec. 30.] The five bnndred paroled Confederate prisoners who arrived in this city on Mbnday MgfiV, . are mostly from Louisiana and Maryland. They were escorted to the parole "Camp-at Camp Lee, except a few who obtained furloughs to remain in thiB city The prisoners relate a-nd incident that octeVirt-ed on tho 24th inst at Point Lookout, in Maryland, uipon the occasion "of the visit of Butler, the "cross-eyei tyrant" to the prisoners' camp. He came with big staff surrounding his mailed carass, aud a couple of hundred mounted goard forming a solid phalanx about him, or dashing hiiher and thither. The Beast, foa.tbe first time in his Miliary experience, was in the midst of eight or ten thousand of the men he had most reason to fear, even without arms, and his guilty CoWard soul must have trembled as their yells, jeers and hissing volley of hatre'd, contempt! and derision smote upon him like a pelting storm. The Louisianians were particularly exasperated ijnd seemed feint upon peasonal barm to the wretch who'dared, while conscious of security to insult them by his presence, like the jackall that dances in front of the snared lion. But better counsel prevailed. A wall sixteen *eet high inclosed tbem, with cannon mounted and pointed from the block-house, ready to B'weefc) tiiem with grape. The Beast, less noble fa SappeaSrance than the animal he rode, signified that he wished to Bpeak to some of the prisoners, and Btruck up a conversation with a equad concerning the rations furnished. Learning the quantity and quality he said' they were entitled to more and should receive it. This was evidently a compromise dodge ofthe old blear- eyed blasphemer, and was intended to conciliate tbe jeers, taunts and curses that belabored him on every side ; such as. '-What will you take for your head?" YOulobster-eyed Bon ofa ;" "fay me the money you robbed me of in New Orleans;" "Why don't you fight men and not women ?"— When did you fight your last battle ?" ''How much are„you worth, you burglar?" "Oh, bag Jour head.-' Why didn't you come to see us on the battle field ?" etc. These expressions were delivered ill the while Butler was speaking, and at the close bf his remarks he rode off with his staff ahd body guard, as he came, the butt of a thousand jokes and jeers. . The exhibition of the Beast in the midst bf disarmed prisoners places the CowardicS of the abject wretch in a most despicable light. Knowing that he was justly hated by ttiem for the nnmerous wrongs practiced Upon them, and afraid to meet them iij the field, with arms in their hands and their flag overhead, he chose td appear amflng them when he knew his person, while Secure from harm, Would add insult tb injury they had already cuffered at his stained, unholy and sacreligous hands. Abolition IIecency.—The following appears as an editorial in the Stockton Independent: Drunken Senators—McDougiil, of California and Richardson, of Illinois,, are the only habituaj drunkards of the Senate. McDougal IS harlnies in his cups, he goes out horse-back riding, falls into a butter, and the small bays rally round him and have a little fun at his expense. He seldom troubles the Senate Chamber with his presence. Richardson, however, is disgusting with his bacchanalian revelries—alway, obtrudes himself u^ion the Senate when scarcely able to stand erect—always, Unfortunately for bim&l'f and his State, in bis seat to be pointed at from the galleries, and have his Uame given to oft'jrepeated question "who ie that drunken fellow over there ?" Of Mr McDougal we have no delense to offer His moral character is just wbat it was wbeu h'e reiteived the votes of every Administration member of the California Legislature for the dignified position which his habits degrade, and would never have been expected to by the party which elected him, had he proved as supple a tool of tbe abolitionists as Jobn Conness. The statement In ragard to Richardson Is as foul a lie aB ever Was penned. At last accounts be had not been in tbe Senate Chamber during the present session, bating been detained at home in attendance on his Sick wife, fulfilling the duties of a detoted husband and father of a family. Had the disgusting ss£hi- bitions attributed to Richardson been charged to Zach Cbandfer, of -'blood letting" notoriety, they would have been literally true, ^o' fair minded man will claim that even McDougal is not the superior in every charahteristic of a Senator anef a gentleman, of Chandler, Wade, Hale and Jim Lane all models of loyalty. The malignant and intole-. rant spirit of abolitionism is exhibited in maligning the personal character of all who disagree with it.—S. F. Press. THE lNBVAKT PJRISVCE. ,; Tbe Prince and Prince's Of Wales haVe a Sorts, Th'e English papers are full of tbe news, abd of the so-called "romantio" incidents wbitebi are said td have attended tbe birth of the ne* Prince, liven the thundering Times and the arristocratic Post seems to take great delight in these toyal trivialities. It appears that the little PriiJCe'catae before he was e&peoted. Some of tbe paperB "say. that he iB a premature child, but others again deny this Statement.—Some say that he 'weighed hine pounds when he was born ; others Bay that he weighed only six'; and others that he was hot weighed at all!

So we congratulate Lord Granville and the British nation! ' And then the royal infant came very near boi having any clothes. The Prince's wardrobe waS not ready for him, as he was not eipScted for some time to come. Ode bf the English fournaW thus deliberately remarks : Had it not been fof the experience of the Countess of Macelbsfield, a mother of many children-, the poor little Prince would have found himself in as Unprovided it case as the child of the poorest Berkshire day- laborer.'*—Happy Countess of Macclesfield, mother of ihaUy children !

Also that "the little Prince feeds well and is in excellent heallh." Also that "he will be suCkled by a wet nurse." The baby looks like his father. Of course he\ does. What first baby ever not? The Londod Lanctt sayS : "He is said td present already stricking likeness to his royal father, his featured being Unusually well marked." We are Very sorry for tbe little Prince, since his father is by nd mSans a handsome taan. His nose isjtdo long and his head is very badly shaped. He would do better to look like his mother, if he can. He is to be named Albert, they say after his young father; but that is not yet decided. For the rest, the Prince bf WalSs takes'fhatterl very c'oblly and goes out shooting regularly. The Princess is as well as could be expected" and bulletins of her health are issued daily.

He came to .tfas country about twelve months since on a tour of .pleasfffe', with sufficient money to meet the expenses ofa year's travel, but, falling among sharpers, he was soon relieved of his well filled purse, and while he waa awaiting a remitance from home the draft took place in Rhode Island. Here was an opportunity jo obtains money immediately by offering himself as a substitute, and be accepted it. In company srith others he was forwarded to the Fifth regiment; but war had no charms for him, and he soon began to look about for means of obtaining an honorable discharge. This, however, was no easy matter.— Many were the suggestions offered by bis comrades, but they all proved abortive. A few months since, upon promise of receiving a commission, he sacrificed a large sum of money, which was spent in raising a company ofvo'unteers in New York.— HiB plan was to accept the commission and then re-' sign. After the company was filled-up, however; he failed to get the appointment. His case was finally made known to the President, and he-haS now received an honorable discharge.—Provi- I dence Press, A Ho#risb_e Affair.—A settlement l'n Canacia} West was recently the scene of a horrible spec*" tacle.
