TiiS GAZETTE. LOCAL AFFAIRS During a reconnoissanee in force by Gen. Butler's troops on Thursday last, Captain A. G. DICKEY, of the Bth U. S. C. T., was killed, while gallantly leading his company. Capt. Dickey was we believe a native of Siloam, New York, where his parents still reside, and came to this place a number of years since, and by his gentlemanly and correct deportment soon secured the esteem of all who knew him. He engaged in teaching, and subseqently studied law with Jos. Alexander, Esq.; hut his strong republican principles and conviction that the rebellion was a blow at liberty, not only here hut throughout the world, rendered him restless since the war and he twice shouldered a rnuskel in defence of his country. Last year he was promoted to the command of a company in the Bth colored troops and served with much credit in Florida, where ho was slightly wounded. Some months ago the regiment was transferred to Bermuda Hundred, where it took part in several severe battles. We have reason to know that Captain Dick ey was regarded as one of the most promising officers of his grade in the service, commanding there as here the respect of all. The inteligence of his death was received here on Monday with universal regret, for all concur that the loss of such a man, with every I principle and talent to make him a useful citizen, is not easily replaced. Wtu. H. Bratton, son of Charles Bratton, Esq, of Bratton township, of the 2d Pa. Artillery, was recently twice wounded, captnred, taken to Richmond, and had a hand amputated; hut was subsequently paroled and is now at Annapolis, Md. OUR COLORED SOLDIERS.—IRI the memorable fight on the 29th Septem ber, which resulted in the capture of Chapin's Bluff, near Richmond, we re gret to learn that several colored sol diers from this place were killed. The charge was made across a plain half a mile broad, and although badly cut up the 4th and 6th U. S C. T., with some others captured the rebel works at the point of the bayonet. Among the killed are the following, who are said to have fallen on one spot: David Crisswell, George Anderson, Walker Stills, Jos. Patterson, Wm. Snowden. Abe Patterson seriously wounded. A letter from Charles Miller, now in Portsmouth Grove Hospital, R. 1., says that Wm. Snowden was also wounded, ' not killed. Peter Johnson, supposed to he the one formerly of this place, is also re ported killed. In no battle during the war has so great a loss of life occurred among sol diers trom this place, and when we bear in mind that there are perhaps ten whites to one colored in the service from Lewistown, who for a moment can doubt the bravery of these poor fellows? We know besides that in other respects most of them have been faithful sons and brothers, aiding those at home whenever they could. So far as earth is concerned they are no more, yet when the record of this war is made, their names will be found among those who fell victims to one of the most hellish rebellion ever got up by man. We commend their fate to sun dry men, women, girls and boys in this town who cannot see a colored person on the street without uttering a low bred remark as mean as it is cowardly. They may think themselves "smart" in doing so, but forget that when they do it they are not lowering the negro, but themselves. FRAUDULENT VOTES —Four paupers were assessed in Derry township on the recent ten day list, and their votes taken by the election officers. As the | list was not posted up as is required ■ by law in order that citizens might examine it, and as all the parties must have known that these men were pau pers, they may consider themselves tortunate if they escape attention at November term. Another outrageous proceeding was taking the vote of a man named Mills i in Brown township, a rebel deserter, who in a letter addressed to the Pro lost Marshall which he dropped and was found, protested against being en- j lolled, and added that he had done one wrong in deserting his brave eoropan- | ions and could not be guilty of so "foul a crime as to take up arms against j them." This letter was shown to the hoard, but being rebel was no impedi ment to his voting there!

The war news is of no special inter est other than that Grant is evidently closing around Richmond: Sheridan is • holding the rebels back in the Senan doah ; and Sherman is again in the field after Hood.

The following details of the cavalry en ! gagement last Sunday are furn shed by Gen Sheridan : "I have seen no sign of theenem\ since the brilliant engagement of the 9th inst It was a square cavalry fight, in which the enemy was routed beyond any powe to j describe. He lost everything carried on wheels, except one pieoe of artillery, and when it was last seen it was passing over Rude's Hill, near New Market, on the full run, twenty six miles from the battlefield, to which point the pursuit was kept up The battery men and horses, etc., were cap tured. The horses were in good condition. ! but were all exchanged by our cavalrymen for their broken down animals.
