Democratic tickets, whereever such had been i nominated, shows conclusively thai the people ' will have nothing to do with the fusion of po litical parlies and that they prefer the old and ! otl-tiied Derr.cciatic orga'ization to any com bination or patch-work of party elements that can, under any pretence, be stitched together.; Fusion is dead. The people ! av- willed it and i the great and terrible double-headed and innnv ' ! winged monster is defunct. Greeley mourns' arid Forney sighs; Cur tin beu ails ar J Cam-Ton , laments. But the tax-payers, the men wh > fui nish the bone and muscle of the State, are jubs !ant an i joyous over the result.

For J->t only is Fusion d-ad, but with it also died the monster from which its very life-blood was furnished. Black Repub licanism has like-wise g-ven up the ghost. The scourge of the North—the ignus fatuus that led statesmen and politicians astray—the bane of <>•* flninn—is destroyed. Let us be thankful tor i . t . ■ - e i our beloved and glorious country. Ivlob Fanaticism Rebuked. It will be remembered that, a few months ago; the office of the Easton Sentinel, a Demo cratic paper, was visited by an aimed mob and destroyed. The apologuts of the assumption of power by law|e £S bodies of men, gloated over this diabolical act, and even in Bedfbrd county, •here was found a newspaper mean and mali ciaus enoagh to suggest that the fate of the Sentinel ought to be meted out to the Gazette. Well, the Democratic citizens of Northampton county, of which Ea.-tcn is the scat cf justice, nut and nominated Col. Neirnan, the mobbed editor of the Sentinel Jot a seat in the Legisla - { u re The election came oiT, and lo ! the mob bed editor, Neirnan, was chosen by a majority of 1200 over his Republican competitor! About the same time that the Easfon Sentint' office was racked, the two Democratic offic.s at Allentown, Lehigh co., were threatened in a similar manner, and the Sheriff* was compelled to call out a posse of several hun dred men to keep the peace. Lehigh county last year gave COO Democratic majority : but, behold the com mentary of the people on Black Republican riiob ncracy ! litis year Lehigh gives 5 600 Dem acratic majority. In our county of Bedford, a few Pharisees who never were true Union men and never will be as long as their accursed Abolition blood flows in their vein?, also attempted to stir up! Jiots. At one time they had a military camp infuriated against us ; at anothei the popuDce in every part of the countv were ago*r with ' the discussion of threats, plans, schemes and • x pedttionc to destroy our office. And wt t u,i the verdict of the people ? A Democr die ma jority of hundreds where last year LineAn iiad several hundred majority. i hus has mob fanaticism 1 een rebuked. Thus have the wicked leaders of the Republican par ly, been foiled and defeated in their devilish scheme?. Thanks te to the common sense of a discerning and virtuous people !

Only about 1,000 of our f irees crossed the river,the m* ans of transit being nothing more than two old .-tows- The engagement took place or. the height above the landing, commencing at F o'clock P.

They were bravely met; but the slaughter ol our best officers and men was s> terriliic that the Feder alists were at last obliged to retreat. Col. Baker was killed by a horseman, who rod e close to him and fired five shots from a revolver, all taking effect. The slayer was at once brought down in turn bv f'aot. B -nid. Finally, Col. Coggswell, just as h>* was taken, gave the order to retreat, and an individual lush was made down the hill to the river. Only one gun was brought away. The sc*ae at the river side was horrible in the extreme. The rebels came to the edge of the hill and fired down upon our retreating masses.

We astfii Colonel Baker what he though* of ; 'ilfj|/.s. He said that Ire though! we had a good p 'si i Hi ; could fall iiack for shelier behind the ridge. • Yes." sai I we, " but what's in those woods ?" He answer- d : '• I think the enemy : aie concealed on our right." A private had reported that there was no force on the left, but a deep ravine hidden by the woods. We then proposed sending -kirmi-h.*rs to make a reconoi : sa.;c- on the t-ght, and Capt.

Col. Coggswell took i charge of the artillery. Only (our guns were I planted in ilm fielJ, the rifled gun having been j hauled up at the wrong p'ace, and i atter ! wards seized by (he enemy and s: i ! . .. When our sk'rmisbing c .u.naiie? had reach ed (he edge of ihe woods, suddenly the enemy, hitherto cone *b*d, rose with a yell and fiied a volley ; then b- gau fighli ig in their usual n an ner ; first giving a yell and volley ; then load ing and firing at will for a few minutes ; then teasing an equal time ; then giving another yell ami volley, and so on, pouring a murderous fire ;nfo our little band for the space of half an hour, j The whole woods swarmed with them. They ; had no arlillery and po cavairy. Our Rhode | Islanders, except the officers, deserted '.heir guns, but Col. Bakei, Lieut. Col. Wister, Col. ; Coggswell and Adjutant Harvey manned the ; battery and fired th go - themselves, aided by i Company G, First California, led by the gallant j Captain Beiral. We kept up both a musketry and cannon fire as well as we could, but half the time we could not see the enemy, and hi? cowardly discharges were thinning our ranks ; still most of the men stood firm and acted bravely. The enemy's volleys and yells increased in loudness, and it was evident that reinforcements were pouring to his aid. At 04 p. m. we held a council of war, and resolved to stand our ground, Gen. Raker ordering me to go fur reinfircrm-nls. By this time Coggswell was wounded Wister had fallen. The en-my were growing more daring, rushing out of the woods, taking some prisoners and firing holly. Jus! then a rebel officer, riding a whit- horse came out ofthe woods ami and beckoned to lis to come forward. Col Biker thought it was Gen. Johnson, and that the enemy would meet ns in open fight. Part of our column charged, Baker cheering us on, when a tremendous on set wa made by tlie rebels. One man rode forward, presented u revolver at Baker, and fired all its charges at him. Our gallant leader I- 11, and at the same moment all our lines were driven back by the ov. r whelming force oppos ed to th< rn. But Capt. B-iral, with his com pany, fought his way back to Col. Baker's body, rescued it, brought it along to me, and then a general retreat commenced. I got the colonel's body to the island before i the worst ot the rout, and then looking (o the j • Virginia shore, saw such a spectacle? as no I tongue can describe. Our entire forces were ] ! retreating, tumbling, rolling, h aping down the 1 steep heights ; the enemy followmv them, mur ! dning, and takirg prisoners. Col. Devin lett hi- command, and swam the river on horseback. I Col. Coggsweil. after unavailing bravery, had ! ordered tie retreat himself, but, being wounded was taken. The one boat in the Virginia chan nel as speedily filled and sunk: A thousand men ti longed the further hank. Muskets, coats, ar.d everything were thrown aside,and all were i desperately trying to escape. Hundreds piung- 1 ed into the rapid current, and the shrieks of the drowning added to the horror of sounds and j sigh's. The enemy kept up their fire from the Ciitf above. All was terror, confusion and dis may. A captain of the Fifteenth Massuchu setts at one moment charged gallantly op the ; hill, leading t vo companies, who still had thei" =>:m against ihe pursuing foe.
