But these comparisons are idle. I want peace, mid believe it can only be reached through Union and war, and I will ever conduct war with a view to perfect an early success. But, my dear sire, when that peace does come, you may call on me for anything- Then will I share with you the last crakef, and watch with you to shield your homes and families against danger from every quarter.

At this writing, Friday morning, it is impossible to tell exactly how the State has gone- Both parties claim a small ma jority and it' will require the official vote to decide. The Democrats have gained largely in many of the counties, while in others the Union party has made an ad vance. But little can be told about the losses and gains, however, as there were no candidates for State offices. This will also for the delay in receiving the returns.; ICthe Union party has.lost in votes, it bar gained considerable in the way of Con gressmen. The official vote will be re quired to deride several districts. The presept representation in Congress stands 12 Union to 12 Democrats.

Bechtel independent, candidate far Sheriff, who, it is reported, Selected by from 200 to 300 majority. The Union ticket has a majori ty of from 500 to 600 in the county. Mr. Bechtel was in the army and lost an arm at the battle of Gettysburg: For this rea son he was supported irrespective of party.' Ohio amitlndiana The pews from Ohio state that the Union party have carried that state by a major!-j ty equal to that of last year, when Brough had over 40,000 majority on the home Vote and the army vote swelled it to near 100,- 000. v In lndiana4he Union party has re-elect ed Gov. .Morton by a majority somewhere between !0,000 and 20,000. Several Union members' of Congress have been gained in both states. From the Army. The election excitement hajs absorbed the attention of almost every person tor the past week, and but little has been said in to war matters. Notwith standing, the army has not been altogether quiet. Gen. Butler, with the army of the James, has in towards Rich mond, and has Succeeded in 'planting him self firmly within roar-miles of that doom ed city. The Army of the Potomac moves steadily forward on Petersburg,from South of the James River, and alfairsare now so near a culminating point that iwe look for' exciting news from that locality in a very short time. Gen, Sheridan 'Still moves forward. A few' days since the Rebel cavalry, of Early’s command, now under a new commander, made up attack on Sheridan, whereupon the laltef set to work and gave the new commander a .severe dPfcipping, capturing between 300 and 500 prisoners and 13 cannon, some of which were entirely new, having never been used. Gen. Sheridan, in His despatch to Gen. Grant, says he did not intend; to fight the battle at present, but having been pressed bv the enemy he stopped a -day to settle the new rebel cavalry commander. Our cavalry pursued the rebels fqr twenty-six miles, scattering them in all directions. In Missouri, the rebel Gen* Price is still moving around, although he lias been sev eral tithes defeated. He proclaims his in tention to remain in the state, but should he be as unfortunate in time;;to come, as he has been in the past, he will soon have no army to stay with him. Gen. Sherman, after having rested his army at Atlanta, is about fo assume tfie offensive again. To what jpoint his tri umphant army will gcxt move we cannot say, but of one thing we are sure, it will be to that point which will accomplish the most beneficial results. • Maryland Election. The! vote on the adoption or rejectidfTof the new Contsitntion for the State of Mary land came off in .that State on Wednesday aiidThursday last. In Baltimore the elec j tion passed off quietly. The whole vote fof the city was 14,418.

Somehow, says the Savannah RepuplU can, we can hardly avoid the impression that the great difference between the Army of of Virginia and that of Tennessee is in its diciplinc. It is'notorious that our own army, while falling back from Dalton, was even more dreaded by the inhabitants than the army of Sherman. The soldiers, and even the officers, took everything that came in their way, giving the excuse that if they did not the enemy would. Subse quently stragglers from our own army al most sacked the stores of Atlanta. Now complaints loud and deep come up from that portion of Georgia in the neighbor hood of our army, telling ef outrages com mitted by straggling squads of cavalry, and of insults offered to the families of the best and most patriotic citizens. This straggling —not contined to cavalry—this pillage, from whichj if report speaks truth, even officers are not Sfree, besides its intrin sic wrong, is wholly subversive of discip line and destructive of all hopes’'of eficien cy. If not checked by some master spirit it presents a gloomy prospect of disasters to come. ; How different from Lee’s army which, even in a hostile State, behaved it self with marked propriety. Howdiffer ent from Sherman’s aripy, which pursued its stern and ruthless path from Chattar nooga without strsiggling, and committed outrages simply as a matter of policy and in obedience to License is fatal to discipline and to efficiency.. Even tte modified license of the Maryland campaign ruined the cavalry of the army of the Valley of Uirginia, and it has done noth ing worthy of its reputation .or its real force since its return to Virginia.

While doing this, one of the horses be came frightened, and cbmmenced to-make efforts to ran away. Mr. C. tried hold him, but. the horse being without a bridle, he could not do i’, and was -thrown under the horses' feet, w hen the team ran away, drawing the loaded wagon over the prostrate man’s body. One of the w heels passed over his and another over his head, crush ing his skull and killing him on the snot. On Tuesday morning, a little son ofiflecse Reese, named Caradoc Reese, aged about eight years, employed in the mines of the Cambria Iron Com pany, met a shocking death by being thrown from a nude. He Was riding the animal to the mines, when it was startled by the noise of fome bo vs, and jnmping suddenly to one side threw the bov off. His feet, however, caught in the harness on the mule, when the animal started on a' full run back to the stable, dragging the boy several hun dred yards and dashing his. brains out with Ids heels as he ran.

These two young men are the last of twelve brothers who have enlisted daring this war, Four of these have been killed in the service and eight of them are yet in the army. The most remarkable feature is yet to come, and we confess our credulity was somewhat staggered when we heard the statement • but the respectable character of the father, with the assertions ofhis neighbors, leave no room for doubt (that Mr. Reese, after having sent twelve sons to his country has yet thirteen sons at home, all’of whom arc under military ago.
