Our community was Startled on VTednesday eveiii ng last by the report that Eli F. Sheets, convicted at tfee -j last term of our Court of the murder of Mr. John Ansley. had made his escape from , the Jail in this place, where he was confined under the keep ’ ihg of Sheriff Roberts. - A reward of Five Hundred Dollars is offered for bis apprehension; but up to the hour of going to press no intel , ligcnce has been received of his where- and we suppose never 1 will joe. It is generally supposed that he lias made his way towards “Dixie,!’ ,as ■ ' that would bo thc natural course for a young gentleman of his inclination to tend.; How he escaped is ptiil a matter of' fome surpriso. It is thought by many that he-.was assisted by persons out side, as a rope and part of a key are said to have been .found on the prem ises; the latter,to Assist in opening the door of the jail, the former to enable him to clamber over the .walls. At all events he is now at lairge, and will make desperate efforts to prevent a recapture. , 1 j Sheets is a young man twenty years I' of age, about 5 /eet 9 inches - high; j walks,very erect;'fair hair, light cora | plexion, high cheek bones, hazel eyes. S' and a deep dimple in his chin. 1 His i chin and the'corners ot his mouth | were broken out in pimples. Hehas J' an effeminate-voice, and'his face wasj very pale from long imprisonment. ■ 1 writing the above, we learn ■ - that the jailer, Daniel Dumbarington, has been arrested upon the charge of aiding the prisoner in bis escape". , j P.

We stop the press to announce ; that Sheefts has been arrested in the . ’ house of a . highly rcspeetable lamih \ in this place, and is again confined in " The triumph of the Hughes iParty in the States off .Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, isf to be accounted for upon one 'single hypothesis,, vizr the absence of the Republicans in the ar my. The State of Pennsylvania has furnished more than One Hundred Thousand soldiers for fne war, and, by far the: greater portion of them are of the> party- that supports and! upholds the Government.:' Wo have suffered a temporary reverse, from- the fact that our forces have been divided, a f p»rt fighting the enemy abroad find a part fighting the enemy at home, V In view of this fact, the silly yapor ings of such papers-ash the Beaver Star only excite emotions of disgust in the minds of sensible persons.—, Theyare well aware [that had the votes of the Soldiers, who .have offer ed-their lives freely upon the altar of our country, heed polled, the Democ racy would have been defeated in near ly every Congressional District in this State, as well as in those of Ohio and Indiana. In this [ Congressional District for instance,- the'Reputlicans have more than 4000 soldiers in the field, while we question if the Democ racy have much over 1200. This alone would give ns about 2000 major ity over them; and which wo shall have, when-our, gallant heroes, who have been deprived by a Democratic Supreme Court of their votes whilq defending the very members of that Court from-invasion, from pillage and ‘ destruction, shall return once more to their homes. In conclusion, we beg leave to quote the following as exceedingly apropos to the present occasion, from the X. Y. Triluhe, in speakftig of the effects ■ ofthesegreat victories which the De li -'O'; r ; mocraey are so;exultant over just at [this time:. , j - . 2648 ■3006 i ' ho rebel chiefs will of coarse bo encouraged by them: Have they not a right to be '!\ Theparty at the North led; on by Vallandigham, Ben Wood land Hughes!has made apparent gains, j and the leaders'of the rebellion will I naturally conclude that their allies in 1 Pennsylvania, Ohio land Indiana are rising in favor with the people and i will soon be able to render them im- Ip’ortnnt assistance by; thwarting the I Administration in its efforts to: bring i the war to a successful termination.; J j ■ Lettholiiends of the Union, bow-1 ! ever, not despair of the Republic.—• j It is not the first time thy. enemies of I the Governmepp have been enable to . win, a temporary triumph owing to iftbe absence of its friends on the field ■ 1 of battle.

Those very; States however came' back to their original faith as Boon as f their brave, sons returned /from thefield.

Rosecrans, bybis late bril liant at Oorinth, and-th|e', ex cellent style in which he followed that victory np, has won golden]opin ionseverywhere. One of the uncal. culated results of Ilosecrans’ energy is, that the Louisville t/bumnf'has read tfaprein -a lesson which it ean. apply .with good effect to %ell. Does it not mean that in the foHotvingJ?— Gen. Rosecriins has entitled himself to a vast measure of gratitude, by showing to, the rest of the generals of the United States how the advantages of victory ! should be -used., ilf such an example as his had been sot in the early part of the war, and faithfully' followed,; afterward, we believe that the rebellion would ere this have been closed up and closed out. Thbre cab bo no military' fact more indisputable than that an enemy beaten and prip plcd in battle should be instanlly and vigorously followed up,.pressed upon, harrasacd, and knocked from pillar to post and'.from post to pillar, until he is utterly {broken up and broken down. It is fortunate that we have jat least one general who, when ho gains a victory, knows what to do with it. —ln the same paper in which the eulogy appears, the leading Editorial article commences thus: ; 2817 2850 ; “Our hopes are not realized by the news from Buell and Bragg. It ap pears,that, cn passing through or be yond Crab Orchard, Bragg was about seventeen miles abend of Buell. Wo doubt veiy much now whether Buell can catch Bragg at all, unless the latter "deliberately chooses! to be caught’? * 1 The ; TH* Soldiisrs Vote.— T?he* Democrats have bee.n making a- great boast that they Jiavo furnished more men to the pinion army than the Eo l ablicans; bat whenever votes have been taken amongthe regiments, the Republicans have large majorities. . In' October, 1861, there were 14,524 votes polled in Perjnsylvunia regiments, and of those '.11,50l were Bepnblilcan, and only 3,173 Democrats. In the 123 d I Penn’a regiment, polls were opened on the last election day and there were 202 Union .votes to thirtyj>nd Demo cratic. In the 125tb regiment, now on Mainland Ileights, there was also on election, and 187 votes were cast for the Union candidates, andl only 27 for the Democratic. The lowa regi ments that ttere in that State on lhe late election} day voted 4,5G0 for tboi Republican ticket and 1,148 : for the Democratic. Every .military ''rote that we have seen shows correspond ing results, and, doubtless, V similar proportion exists throughout all the regiments from the free States; Is it any .wonder that the’ Democrats have gained considerably , in the; 'recent alefetion in this State, Indiana andi Ohio-7 ~ ~- •~= ' Amd.Qen, ’ Snr.Gwnu Co«grw*.S«ii*U. ‘y lana^iy. . ■ • o a ’ H .B) 4 t-w ■ K . %f; n a ■f-.ftiit.WTto * ? j '•■,!'
