Presidential Election.
Bedford County-Unofficial.
We give beiow such returns from the .
•ounty as have been reported to us, up to j
the hour of goig to press. It will be
seen that a number of districts have given ;
large Democratic gains, whilst others have j
given an increase for the Abolitionists. A
rnong the districts that did remarkably well,
we name with pride, the following: Juni
ata (t? '■} -ownship gives the largest Dem
ocratic tnaj -rity) Cole rain, Cumberland Val
ley, Napier, ScheUsburg, Monroe, Bloody
Run, Bedford township and Snake Spring.
Twenty seven Democrats were prevented
from voting m Southampton, by soldiers
stationed at the polls for that purpose.
The same tvrannv was exercised at other
polls. Two hundred and fifty soldiers were
shipped to the county, a few days prior to
the election. Of these forty six were Me-
Clellan men. This fact was ascertained
by votes taken on the cars, showing that
the Lincoln soldiers were sent home to vote
while the McClellan men were kept in the
front to do the fighting. McClellan's ma
jority in the county is about 600. Count
ing the 158 soldier majority sent into the
county, the result shows a Democratic
gain over the October election, of 68.
The following districts are thus reported:
McClellan Lincoln

H j Hon. Robert C. Winthrop. of Boston. Ing
i known as one among the distinguished men of
i-; New England, delivered an address at tha Mo
(e j Cleltan mass meeting, in New London, on the
l_ j 18th in st. From this address we copy the fol-
I low ing beautiful extract:
I will not undertake to calculate the chan
' ces of success. The result of the same elec
*s tions seem to decide nothing, except that the
•a great battle is still to be fought, and the victo
j rv is still within our reach. But whatever
may be the results of the elections, let us re
! [ solve never to despair of the republic. We
'• i are on the eve of one of the most memorable
if. anniversaries in our history as a nation.—
v ' Eighfv-three years ago to-morrow, on the 19th
*j of October, 1781, tlie soil of Virginia was the
" i scene of a far different spectarde from that
j which it unhappily witnesses at this hour.—
'■ j The soldiers of the North and of the South,
d . instead of eonfronring each in deadly #t ife, were
,1 i then standing triumphantly side by side, un
a ! der the glorious lead of Washington, to receive
the final surrender of the forces which had
been so long arrayed against our national inde
* pendeace. Would to Heaven that the pre
cious memories of that event might be one; more
revived in every American heart! Would to
Heaven that even now the associations of that
day might overpower and disarm the unnatu
ral hostility of our adversaries, and that the
„ soldiers of the North and South might be seen,
like the eoidier* in the old Roman story, rush
-1 ing into each others* embrace under the old
7 flag of our fathera!

gusta, Ga., on Monday, the 17th inst., Gover- \ h
nor W m. Smith presiding, alter a full, free and j
harmonious consultatiou and interchange of;
council the following, among other news were ti
expressed: 11
Resolved , That there is nothing in the pres- b
ent aspect of public all airs to cause any abate- °
ment of our zeal in the prosecution of the war j
to the accomplishment of a peace, based on the j a
independence of the Confederate State*. And w
to give encouragement to our brave soldiers in j 1
the field and to strengthen the Confederate au- j "
thoruies in the pursuit of this desirable end, j*
we will use our best exertions to increase the '
effective force of our armies. ■ r
Resolved, That the interests of each of our 11
Stales are identical in the present struggle for '
: s.eii-go. mruent, aud wisdom and true patriot-
I ism (in tale that the military forces of each
( should aid the others against invasion and sub- 1
i jugation, and for this purpose we will recoin- *
mend to our several Legislatures to repeal all -
such law as prohibit the Executives from send- 1
ing their threes beyond their respective limits, '
in order that they may render temporary scr- I
j vice wherever most urgently required. 1
Resolved, That whilst it is our purpose to j 1
l use every exertion to increase the strength and t'
j efficiency of our State and Confederate force, j'
we re-pectiuily and 'earnestly request that the
j Confederate authorities will send to the fielu 1
i every able-bodied man, without exception, in j '
! uuy of its various departments whose place can
'be tilted with cither disabled officers or soldier -j ;
i senior reserves or negroes and dispense with i 1
, the use of all provost aud post guard, except ' ;
iu important cities, or localities where the
presence ot large bodiej of troops make them
necessary, and with all passport agents upon
railroads not in the immediate vicinity of the
armies, as we consider these agents an unne
j cessary annoyance to good citizens and of no
pyasiotc b..merit to the country.
Resolved, That we recommend our respec
tive Legislatures to pass stringent laws for the
arrest and return to their commands of all de
serters and stragglers from the Confederate ar
mies or State troops : and that it be made the
special duty under appropriate penalties, of all
i civil and military officers to arrest and deliver
to the proper authorities all such delinquent?, j
And whereas, the pulffic-enemy have pro- ;
claimed the freedom ot our slaves, are forcing j
iuto their armies llie able-bodied portion there- j
f ihe more effectually t> wag* their cruel and [
bloody war against us; therefore *>e it
i| Resolved, That it is the true policy and ob- j
ri .us duty of all slave-owners timely to re- j
i move their slaves from the line of the enemy's j
i i ap[ roach, and especially those able to bear •
arm* ; and when they should fail to do so that ;
- it should be made ilia duty of the proper au- ,
i thoruies to enforce the performance of this dii- j
ty, and to v '-<> such owners all necessary as- j
; j pittance a* i - practicable.
Rt.-olv- t, . -it the course of the enemy in
approach. ou: slaves who happen to fall into
! their hands to purposes of war seems to justify
j ~d tfAufTuiriftts under "proper rcguia
tions, to appropriate such part of them to the :
public as may le required-
Resolved, "that the States have the right to
export such productions and import such sup
plies as may be necessary for State use. or for
the comfort or support of their troops in ser
vice, upon any vessel or vessels owned or char
., iered by them ; and that we request Congress at
ils next session to pa? law-* removing all re
j s.rictions which have been imposed by Confed
erate authority upon such exports or imports :
. ! by the States.
And lastly, we de mit not inappropriate to J
i declare our firm and unalterable purpop, as we
i believe it to be that of uiir fellow citizens, to
| maintain our right of self-government, to
j establish our independence and to uphold the
- , rights and sovereignty of the States or to per
> j ish in the attenq t. j
i j Resolved, That the Chairman be requested P
! to send a copy of these resolutions to hi' Ex- t
[ j cellency President Davis, and also one eaci to ;
• : the President of the Senate and the Speake- of v
, the House of Representatives, an 1 the Gowr-

I tried to cast these people out. but in vain,
and I only incurred their enmity. I fell it? un-1

M'ENXESI'Y.—It has fallen to ur | y ;
to record the premature but gLrious death of
Ssrinicl Crntzberg M'Emnripy. who was killed
on the tilth of September last, in a tight near
' Svcamore church in Virginia, in the 17th year
:of hi* age. This noble young tuan and gallant
rvui ot IVuford, d- servea mora than a pa.ssi.ivr
obitt u-v riotioo. Though under age he offered
I.is s rvicc# to ids country; !is beloved mother
• was unwilling to let hvr dear child depart
, her; but not being able to restrain his military
: ardor, consented at last to let him join ths
ranks qf the Union army. He died gloriously
' fighting for the Union cause, on the 16th of
September, ?iar Sycamore chureh in Virginia
He was shot through the neck and was killd
hi-stantly, so that ho could not have suffered
long or notch. His companion* in arms "ar?-
fully gathered his dear remains and brought
them fur interment to City Point, where in (fca
Cavalry Corps grave-yard, ho was decently bu
• fed. H ' was a young man of great promise,
j liked hy all the company; he was always ; n
' good heart He died for his country, like it
j brave soldier; to whose merits Capt-aia and
privates bore testimony. He was alwaysa
dear good boy who hated swearing and ali had
practices;. he was carefutty brought up by 1
load mother, and we humbly hope, be nev-r
forgot the faith and convictions of hit beraav
ed and affected parents. May he rest in peace
