GENERAL LINCOLN has attempted another grand military movement,-this time against Kentucky. He tried Florida once, and was routed at Olustee: he tried South Carolina, and captured a few negroes, but they were rejected at Baltimore; he tried Texas, and was routed at Sabine Cross Roads. The battle which General Lincoln fights is that of the Presidency; the victory that he seeks is a re-election. It was this battle which he fought in Florida, in South Carolina, and in Texas, and being defeated at all these points, he is now carrying the campaign into Kentucky.

It is possible that he may meet with more success in this campaign than in some of his previous ones. In Florida he fought men with guns in their hands, and as in every case where he has attempted to fight this class of combatants. he has been unsuccessful. But in Kentucky he will only encounter unarmed, peaceable citizens, and in such contests he usually has success.

When his opponents have been such men as Vallandigham. Mahoney, Jones, and such women as Mrs. Polk. Mrs. Greenhow, and Belle Boyd, General Lincoln's campaigns have been uniformly successful It is only when General Lincoln attacks the Finnegans in Florida. the Beauregards in South Carolina. the Taylors in Louisiana and the Lees in Virginia. that he has suffered defeat. But as there are no Lees or Johnstons in Kentucky, and nobody save unarmed men and women and children, the friends of General Lincoln may reasonably infer his success in his present campaign.

His outset is brilliant and characteristic; it has established martial law and suspended the writ of habeas corpus. His next attack will be an assault upon the press; his next effort will be to storm all the democratic strongholds: and his final one to so guard the polls that none but the "loyal" shall be allowed to approach them.

We suppose the result will be that next November Kentucky will follow the example of Maryland, and vote the abolition ticket.-Chicago Times.
