The Election Over
We are heartiry glad that the cam
paign has terminated. For weeks there
has been very little to say that was not of
a political nature. It was the fiercest
political contest the people of this coun
try ever engaged in—it was !f short,
sharp and decisive."
The ejection on the Sth inst., :was the
first opportunity that offered on which
the people, US a whole, could iecide be"-
tween the President and his opp.)nents.
The result has been that his retion in the
past has been supported, his alterations
of his original policy have been sustain
ed as necessary ones, and the mode in
which his changed policy his been car
ried out has been si n tioned. The nation
has given him a clear bill of indemnity
for the past.
This election decides that the people
of the North are resolved,that the Union
shall be restored. They declare that, as
-far as they can effect it, the country
which Lincoln as President saw divided,
Lincoln us President shall yet' see in its
original integrity. The result of the
election pledges the nation to prosecute
the war until the end sought is obtained,
to agree to no compromise short of the
subruisoien of the rebels, to yield to no
terms other than the establishment of
the Federal Government with all its
original powers. It does more,for it ex
presses the determination of she people
that with the rebellion, shivery—the
bone of contention—shall also die. They
who, four years ago, were hardly per
suaded that they were right in forbid
ding the extension of slavery to free soil,
Oro now determined on its t•ratlication
From that which lii s hitherto '''been Slave
soil. Slavery, venomous reptile that it.
is, stung the hand that upheld it. Sla
very now is to find that the power that
once sheltered it has both the strength
and will to crush it. This is the first
time the direct issue of slavery or free
dom has been put to the people.and right
nobly have they decided it. They have
spoken plainly on it SO that however they
may be mistinderstoud in other matters,
on this they cannot be mistaken.
Their multi work is to overturn the
rebellion. but with it they have resolved
to overturn the system of human bond
age on which it is founded, and but for
which it would never have started into
-being. They are the champions 'of lib
erty in the present war—the chivalry(?)
of the South arc the champions of sla
very. Is it difficult to tell to which he
sympathies of the civilized world should
be giver) ?
,The News
A paragraph from a recent Southern
paper makes known the startling fact
that the graves of the Union captives in
the burial ground near Audersonville
already number twelve thousand. This
is fearful mortality among a population
of prisoners that never exceeded accor

of forty thousand. How the hearts of
the loyal people of the' 'country will •be
filled with gladness, and what emotion of
joy will be felt by the sorrowing friends

says : "The.steamer Ella, with despatch
en from the PcktOmac flotilla, brings in
telligence of a terrible explosion' npon
the gunboat Tulip, whereby some qtey
persons were killed.
EDITOR
The occurrence took place on Friday
evening, off itaggod- Point, about four
teen wiles this side of St. Mary's river,
in the Potomac.
The gunboat Tulip, attached to the
flotilla, left St. Mary's at 3 P. M. on that
day, for the Navy Yard here, for repairs,
and when passing Ragged Point, about
six o'clock, the boilers exploded with ft
terrific crash, rending the upper portion
of the vessel to atoms, scalding the of
fivers and crew, and throwing them in
every direction.
Those who escaped with life, and who
were not too seriously injured, ran to
lower the gig, but but befo:e they could
got it down the wreck of the Tulip sunk,
earring down with her most of those on
Image Some of those who escaped be
ing engu,ped, managed to keep them
selves above water by moans of floating
portions of the wreck for an hour or
more, until their condition was discover
ed by the tug boat Hudson, Captain
James Allen, which rescued ten persons,
who alone escaped from the ill-fated Tu
lip.
Thege were sent to Point Lookout,
where two of them died on Saturday.—
They were Ensign Wagstaff, executive
officer, and Master's Mate Davis, who
were the only two persons uninjured;
Master's Mate Reynolds, with a leg brok
en ; Engineer Teel.ivery badly wounded;
and six of the teen.
The Hudson made diligent search for
the survivors of the disaster, but finding
none, steamed on to St. Ingocs, and those
saved were tranferred to the Ella, and
brought up to this city. The first inti
illation of danger was a cry from Go--
don, the engineer on watch, to run to
the safety,valve, and he sprang to the
engine-moth; but scarcely had he gone
through the door when the xplosion
took place.
At this time Captain W. 11. Smith, of
the Tulip, James Jackson the pilot, Mas
ter's Mate, Hatumnal ant the Quarter
master were on the bridge, over tl
boiler, and must have been blown tQ
atoms.
The only trace of Captain Smith found
was his hat. As but tun persons were
picked up, fifty-nine persons of the six
ty nine on board most have perished in
stantly, and two of those picked up died
befurc: the Ella left. Lieutenant Ingoes
and others were not expected to survive;
amongst theM Engineer Teel and Acting
Master W. IL Smith, who has been at
tached to the flotilla fur two years past,
anti was 'youtig officer and held in the
highest esteem.

ceiving
his orders on Friday last, before
leaving here, he telegraphed ~,to his wife
that he wonld meet her at the railroa,
depot },his morning. Engineer G. F.
Parks, Who was in charge of the engines,
and went down on the wreck, hails from
Brooklyn, N. Y., where he leaves a
wife and three child:ran, with an aged
Mother.
Engineer <Tulin G.rdon, who was also
lost, hailed fruit' Philadelphia, where he
leaves a family. , The was one of
the vessels built at New York for Man
darin Ward, of China; and after Ward's
death, our Government purchased the
Tulip and the Fuchsit, another of Ward's
vessels. .The Tulip was a fine, :staunch,
fourth-class propeller of' IBS tons. carry
ing five guns; but at the time of the ex
plosion had not her full complement of
men.
" It is stated that four mobs ago two
of her engineers, Jeremiah Biddle and
John T. Buckley, reported her }Milers
unseaworthy and rcfei:d to run the boat
and it is said they were suspended for a
time and assigned to subordinate posi
tions. The I?epartmeit will, it is uu

Total,
In order to conduct, the election proper
ly the regiment was temporarily consol
idated into two companies, A and B aud
two polls opened. Many of the comp n
ies not having a sufficient number of vot
ers to legally open a poll.
My attention was recently called to
an article in the Lancaster Intelligencer
headed "The way the thing was manag
ed,".and referring to the manner in which
the state election on October 12th was
conducted in our regiment, aud further
saying it "will show how the Abolition
majority was obtained iu the army," it
purported to be an extract from a letter
written by an officer in our regiment,and
went on to say that all the election of
ficers and clerks were Republicans in
ferring that on that account the affair
was conducted unfairly, and casting re
flections upon the gentlemen composing
election board, who were under oath,uot
very complimentary to their good charac
ter as good citizens. We who know
the gentlemen personally, know them to
be good and. truem,m.
The writer Further complains that but
one poll was opened, this was made nec
essary by the fact that no one company
mustered voters enough to open com
pany polls. A. very good reason for not
having any Democratic election officers
be found in the lac:, that amongst the
vaunted Democracy, of our regiment
scarce a man can be found capable
through want of education to make even
a clerk. 'lie writer had better kept
quiet on that score fur igliurauce is no
great credit to the arty.
That no man was put upon oath is a
falsehood which cannot be substantiated.
On the contrary one prominent MeOlel
lanite was putrupon oath and . state 1 that
he had paid taxes within the pr3seribel
limits of time, was allowed to vote, and
then openly in tde his boast after the
election, that he had not paid taxes for
four years. What eau my qtlicee say to
that?
The Litelliamccr in urtkin:f up the ar
ticle puts it as an extrAct from a letter
written by an olivir of the 45th Penna.
Vols. That this is untrue must be made
evident by the fact that every officer of
the regiment present W.Li connected with
the election board, and all are too good
Union men to be writing articles such
as published in the sheet mentioned.
I much regret that the a rticle came to
my notice too late for reply before the
Noveutber election, and write this mere
ly in contradiction of a statement derog
atory to our goad name as soldiers and
citizens, and that statement by one called
an officer of the 45th Penna..
The Arriter of the article is well known
and nothiug minima for him are party
statements of similar strengtji anti foun
dation. But enough of this. I trust
with the triumph of the Cleion party we
have the end of polities until another
election is at hind.
To-day we are having a cold- and win
dy day but fortuately as we have
been lying' quiet fur some time, all hands
are tolerably well prepared, and many
snug cabins with their cheery fireplaces
are dotting our camps. Many pleasant
hour.S are spent by these open hearth

DEAR 314. EDITOR :—I saw my hus
band's name at the foot of an article in
your last ,week's paper ,3ihich leads me
to presume that he wrote it, though fie
dill, not show it to me, nor did he tell me
anything of it, (something ieri:unusiial,
for hirri4o':do,) but if he had- I would
have imp . rovedit, for he is not good at
putting his sentences together, though
(the deer soul what should I do if I
should lose him ? I sit and cry sometimes,
thinking over it) he is a most excellent
manic all other respects.
But I did not intend to tell you about
my husband now, Mr. Editor, of the
Spy, but to tell you how he spends the
Sabbath and improves the preaching.—
If you knew him as well as I do you
could say a good deal on the subject, for
he is a most excellent man, and in his
private life (that is to toe and our boy
named Timothy, after him, and our girl
named Eunice, after me) he is just like,
well it is hard to say just what he is like,
for he is like so many good things,but it
seems to me his head is greater than I
can think, and his heart is so much like
mine, that sometimes I think it is mine,
and he is so like a chill among the chil
dren that I have to feel I am the head of
our house.
68,
108,
171,
But,dear . Mr. Editor, (I feel very kind
to you for thinking so much of icy hus
band as to publish his article, though I
am sorry I did not have an opportunity
to improve it for his sake and the credit
of your paper) as I have said, I did not
intend to tell you of my good husband,
though, as I have also said, Or intended
to say, and, if I have not said, say
now, I might say very much about him,
but to tell you how sweet he makes the
Sabbath, and how he improves the
preaching. Well, on Sabbath morning
he is up by daylight, (which you know at
'this season, is not very early, but he is
such a reasonable man, you have no idea
how reasonable he is) and he gets the
fires going nicely. I hear every step,
though he goes Very quietly, because he
does not wish' to disturb me or the chil
dren, but how could I sleep ! I just lie
awake thinking every time I hear a
raking of the fire, the rattling of the coal
as it goes into the stove,(you know there
must be some noise in making a fire,)
what a treasure he is. Then lie picks up
The Independent," (we think the In
dependent is the best religions paper in
the country) and by the time he gets
through two or three coluMns of Mr.
Beecher's sermon, we (that is Timothy,
Eunice and myself) get down stairs and
our little room is so cosy,and there is my
husband and his nee is just as bright as
the tire because he is so glad to see us.and
because it_ia Sabbath,and because (which
he is alwlys Inure to do) he finds some
thing in Mr. Beecher's sermon which m
so cheerfully, grandly good. The other
Sabbath morning, for instance, he said :
" dear, what do you think Mr. Beecher
says about the birds ? Why he says they
always get up at sunrise, and always have
singing at their family worship." The
dear man, I cannot tell you, Mr. Editor,
how I am affected on such occasions; if
lie should (lie, what should I do ? I be
lieve I should want to die too. We al
ways have worship, Sabbath mornings,
and all other mornings too. Eunice on
such occasions seems to be drawn to her
father and usually gets her little hand
into one of his, whilst Timothy gets near
to me. My husband is fond of the Psalms
and the Parables, and generally reads
one of tlieni, and after this we all pray
so sweetly, we feel as if we were near
heaven. AW4 .my dear husband, (you
recollect Mr. Editor I have told you he
is reasonable, Le is so very reasonable,in-
deed more so than you would think,) he
remembers that young people are affect
ed bYtbat is simple and brief, and so he
makes our - morning exercises so that they
arc as much for our children as for him
and me, indeed, more so; for he says
sunEttimes
,to me, says he, Eunice you
know that you and I are up on the
height, but these little ones are coming
up the hill, and we should help them
more than we do help ourselves. Very
often we sing a hymn, indeed that is a
pah of our Sabbath worship, and then
my husband plays on the bass viol, j
as you have seen in some pictures of
ther and his fliulily , and I play on.,

that that it is ;idlest net to a 9; good as
the Bible to have a cabinet or„;# in the

we do not wish to make a"noise for out
doors, but only to let out.of.our own

so we sing sweetly togi o nr, and it seems

Our thanks are due to Surgeon War
ren M'Chesncy,ncar Rome, Georgia, for
late rebel papers. In the Selma. Morn
ing Dispatch, we find the following, in
reference to arming the slaves :
We n ,tice this subject only to protest
against the discussion of such a subject,
believing that the thought has been sug
gested by the very foolishness of fear.
We feel confideut that our military situ
ation will improve so much before the
assembling °four next congress that even
the most despondent spirits of our land
will open their eyes to the fully of arm
ing our negro population. Such a
policy would be a virtual abolition of
slavery, and we cannot consider our situ
ation so desperate as to demand such a
policy. When our principal armies are
destroyed, and the white material of the
Confederacy fails, then we may think of
sacrificing the nmst vital institution of
our Government to secure independence
for our selves. Have we arrived at that
desperate point? Must we sacrifice the
institution that has been and is uow the
life-blood of the nation to secure ou• lib
erties? Thank Heaven, we fail to see that
we arc in that deplorable condition at
present, and we believe that we can resist
the Yankee nation for ten years longer
and then not be driven to such extremity.
It luny be regretted that the negro has
not been more generally used in the army
as cooks, teamsters and dirt diggers, and
doubtless tl e Government w ill follow the
spirit of Gen. Hood's late order but here
after employ negroes fur such purposes.
But the ilea of placing arms in the
hands of negroes to fight beside the South
ern soldier, could only originate in a dis
eased imagination.

I have known riooflands's German Bit

used them in my own family, and havo
been so pleased with their effects, that
induced to recommend them to mun .
others, and know that they have operated
in a strikingly beneficial manner. I take
great pleasure in thus pub! itily proclaim
ing this fact, and calling the attention to
those afflicted with the tliseases for which
they are recommended to these Bitters
knowing front experience that my recomr
mendation will be sustained. Ido this
cheerfully as Hootland's Bitters is intend
ed to benefit the afflicted, "not a runt
drink."

eases declined ; but with a clear proof in
various instances, and particularly in my

German Bitters, I depart lbr one° front
my usual course, to express my full con
viction that, for general debility of the sys

is a safe and salable preparation. In some

it will be very beneficial to those who suf.-
