'THR HOME VOTE IN OCTOBER,
The official vote of Pennsylvania
the'Ootober election, on the Con
!gres3ional tickets, is at length pub
lished. It includes both the home
and soldiers' votes, and is not given
separately, as was expected and de
sired. According to these returns,
the Abolition majority in October was
:13,859, 'Simultaneously with the ap
pearance of the tables, a. letter from
&Hon. Eli Slifer, Secretary of the Cora
+rnonsvea/tb, to the editor of the New
*Mork Tribune, was published, in which
!the Secretary declares that it is im
possible to give the official "borne
vote," and that "it can never be known
'or officially announced" which party
`bad the majority of that vote. This
means simply, 'that the :Democrats
, were in the majority, but that the re
ault is.never to , be officiallrannounc
ed, in ordeithatibe 'Abolitionists who
made bets on it need not give up
their money. The alleged "impossi
tbility" of obtaining the official home
vote, appears very strange in view of
'the fact that the Return Judges of
every county met.as.usual according
' , to law, on 4 4 r/day next after tire clue
'tint) (October 1411)) and made 'up a
completeoreturn of the - home vote,
whic: was deposited, as usual, in the
office of thaProthonotary of their prop
or county, where it yet remains of rec
ord.
.A copy of this return witsjin many
Tates, forwarded to the State 'Depart
ment at Harrisburg ; Lut, if the vote
of any county was wanting to make
up a complete table, it was only nec
,essary to apply to the Prothonotaries
•of counties from which the home vote
was net seperately returned, by some
•oue•bavin.g authority to demand it
-Secretury'Silfer, for instanoe—and it
+haVe.been obtained. A seper
ate return of the home and soldiers'
votes in October, is now on file in the
callers of the Protbonotaries of every
Congressional district of the State,
.4nd may yet be obtained, if the 'See
'rotary of _the•Commornwealth oboes
s . ►lf an Abolition majority on the
Congressional tickets had been appa
rent, no matter bow small, this "im
vossitfle-state of trbings . would nAver
baire - oseurreo, anti the stake hotders
of the numerous bets pending on the
result would, long ago, have been
cl,led upon to pay over the money
to the fortunate winners. That's
what's the matter 1
We may add, that tbo Harrisburg
Patriot has the figures to show a clear
Democratic majority of 514 on the
home vote.—Reading Gazette.
*erne ;abolition papers targue
that, Mayon mhould tihe Slave States
•be able toachieve their independence,
the free states would still form a
great and united country," We told
the people before the recent elections
that disunion would be the result of
the election of Abraham Lincoln, and
in the above the correctness of our
prophecy is already foreshadowed.
/lirThe oil oßeitement is spread
ing rapidly over the state. All that
we have got to say thereto is—"look
before you leap" into it. It pays
well no doubt to some, but others
will, if not •eareful, find themselves
taken in, and wake up some morning
dead broke.
There are said to be in the trnited
States fifty thousand heathens. Idol
gods are worshiped in two heathen
temples in San Francisco. The Chi
nese have large eekwies scattered

.evangelization is an inviting one for
Christians of every sect.
in. As the occupation of many
preachers is now gone for a season,
the election being over, it would be
well if they were to devote some of
their leisure time to preaching Chris
tianity among ilea - Ovens. It is
true, preaokiag Christianity may not
pay as well as preaching politics, still,
doing the former would be better than
doing nothing. As the health of
some has no doubt been injured by
their arduous labors during therecent
campaign, a little recreation among
the heathens might be beneficial to
them.
as.„ Gen. Butler was tomplained
against in New York, when there a
f o w weeks ago, by a party from New
Orleans, for taking 560,000 in gold
from them in 1862, and keeping it
for his own use. The General's prop
erty in New York, hie salary, and
his funds In Bank, have all been at-
tached for the. theft. If some poor
fellow had taken a loaf of bread it
would have been called stealing, but
when a General steals $60,000 it is
called "converting to his own use."—
The business of acting General must
be a good one when such nice hauls
can be made. The first requisite,
however, into be "loyal," and then
you may steal to your heart's con.-
tent. If you steal from "Copper
' beide it will be "patriotism."
Cttr-A bold attempt was made to
, ffre- VoWYerk city on Friday' night
lof Idst"week. Betvveeli the hours' of
9 and la'o'clocklftbewbre discovered
in the .i4stOlit3tiise;thi t St. Nicholas,
St. James, La Fargo, Metropolitan,
Tammany Hall, Belmont and Love
joy's Hotels, Barnum's Museum, Nib
-lo's Garden, and other public build
ings. Fortunately, in all CILECS, the
'fires , Were discovered in time to be
extivitished before much damage
was done. Phosphorus and matches
were the'means used to fire the ' bed
dingin , the rooms, after whieh 'the
doors were closed with the iititention
that the fire'should make great head
way before discovery.
Great excitement prevailed in the
city on Friday night -and Saturday,
in consequence of the diabolical at
tempt to destroy property and life at
stch•-a wholesale rate as was contem-
Mateid. iPreerantions have been taken
by the authoiities, police and fire de
partments, to-guard against like ' at
tempts. It is supposed by some that
the fires were lyrigineted by thieves
for the purpoge•iiiiptuniler during the
confusion, but the - -more general belief
is that they were• - tkeregult of a well
organized plan to deStroy the city by
southern etumisariesiti - retalfa.tion for
the havoc caused by our"itrtites -itt

OT The official vote cast .int.b.-es
ter county, (abolition,) at the Pregi
dential election on the Bth inst. was
13,904. The offitial vote cast in
Montgomery county, (democratic,) tat
the same election, was 14,280. Ches
ter county is allowed THREE represen
*fives in the State Legislature, and
Montgomery TWO. This shows the
the apportionment bill,
and the injustice done to Montgomery
county-by the abolition Legislature
ef:l'ast winter. No wondertht oppo
'itition%avefagaint carried a majority
'tif 'the Legislature.
The PrrdtbA Marshal General
has issued a circular to his Deputies
relative to the speedy correction of
the enrollment lists. This squints
strongly towards an immediate draft.
se-The majority-for Lincoln over
Gen. llidOlnllafi * in the state of New
York, is 6,796. Fenton over Seymour,
for Governor, has 8,M)7.
THE BURNING OF .ROME, GA.
A Frightful Scene.
'A letter from Kingston, Ga. under
date of Nov. 11th says
Rome was evacuated at 14 o'clock
this forenoon by our force, hot not
until the Etowah House, a respectable
three-story brick hotel, was consumed
by fire. Btragglers managed to ig
nite a lot of straw in titre building,
and there being no `fare engines in the
town, it was impossible to subdue
the flames. A block of four brick
stores was also wantonly destroyed
by skulking stragglers. All the bar
racks were laid in ashes, and a black
veil of dense smoke hung over the
war desolated city all day, arising
from the smouldering ruins.
Owlog tothe great lack of railroad
tranaportatioo, General Corse was
obliged to destroy nearly a million of
-dollars worth of property, among
which was a few thousand dollars
wo,rtb of condemned unserviceable
Government stores. Ninerebel guns,
captured•atißome by crur troops, were
burst, it being deemed innate to use
them. One thousand bales of fine
cotton, two flour mills, two rolling
mills, two tanneries, one salt mill, an
extensive foundry, several machine
shops, together with the railroad de
pots and storehouses, four pontoon
bridges, built by Gen. Corse's 'Pio
neer Corps for use on the Coosa and
Etowah• Rivers, and a substantial
trestle bridge nearly completed for
use, were destroyed This trestle, I
constructed by the Engineer Corps,
- am 'told would have cost fifty itou•
sand 'dollars North. Recollecting
the outrages perpetrated upon Col.
Streight by the "Romans," our troops
as soon as they learned thatthe 'town
was to be abandoned anTI a portion of
it burned, resolved to lay Rome' in
asbes in revenge. The roaring of the
flames as they leaped from window to
window, their savage tongues of fire
darting high up into the heavens, and
then licking the sides of the buildings,
presenting an awful but . grand spec
tacle, while the mounted patrol and
the infantrymen glided along through
the brilliant light like the ghostly
spectres of horrid war.
fr- The abolition papers inform
us that the administration of Lincoln
is about proposing peace to the reb
els. Well, we are glad of it, but, we
remember, that before the ntection
Democrats were called "traitors' fog
suggesting that terms of ateommode
tion should be offered, Then the ab
olition cry was, "peace at the cannon's
mouth, only !" The wed ismoving,
but Abe Lincoln won't offer any terms
to the rebels which they will accept,
and the next thing will be—draft!
. One of the city fathers of Pittsburgh
Pa., was robbed of $45,000 in New
York, on Wednesday night, while in
company with a couple of abandoned
wretches. The guilty party are un

Se ib A party of Confederate caval
rymen' on Friday a week appeared
in the Shenandoah Valley, between
Martinsburg and Winchester. A
Federal cavalry force of sixty-two
was sent out to capture them. Mose
by, the commander of the enemy,
laid an ambush; killed twenty-two,
wounded eigbt, and captured thirty
two. Two or three Federal soldiers
afterwards escaped, and reported the
disaster at Martinsburg. -
.66'Gen. Shizirrean has been check
ed in his advance towards Macon.—
Slocum's expedition, which moved
south from Atlanta, was, on Novoin
ber 19th, twenty miles north of Sta
con. The Ceiiiederate's succeeded
in placing a - Strong force in Slocum's
front at thatpoint, and ho was check
ed. Down' to Tuesday last he hti'd
made no farther progress toward Ma
con, and was bhlieved to have turned
to the eaSt:witird. Kilpatrick's caval
ry expedition, which, at last accounts,
had reached Wallace, a small town
'just north of the Macon and Mil
ledgeville Railroad, made no attempt
to march on Macon. It turned to
ward Milledgeville, - capturte did city,
and burned some of the
'ptiblic build
ings. Both Slocum and Kilpatrick
seem to have abandoned the idea of
capturing Macon,. and are believe'd
to be moving eusrififfd towards 'Au
gusta or Savannah.
General Howard's expedition )
which Sherman directs in-person, has
started from Atlanta to Augusta,
though when, is not accurately known.
This column moved eastward to
Crawfordsville, a town on the Atlan
ta and Augusta Railroad, seventy
miles from Augusta. Here the Con
federate cavalry were first found.—
Making but slight opposition, they
retreated before Howard's advancing
troops until Berzelia, a town twenty
one miles from Augusta, was reached.
Here the Confederates were reinforc
ed; and made a successful stand.—
There are reports that Howard's ad
vance was repulsed with loss. Such
was the condition of affairs before
Augusta on Wednsday last. The
military situation on that day . was
this': Slocum was twenty miles north
or:Macon, with a 'Confederate force
in his front strong enough to check
'him. Kilpatrick 'Was tit 'Milledge
ville, tweillyfive miles east of Slo
cum and thirty miles north east of
Ilacein. Howard was at Berzelia,
'sixty miles northeast of Kilpatrick,
and eighty-five miles northeast of
Slocum. A force was in front of
rioward which was apparently strong
enough to check him.—Age.
ttriPRIZE FIGHT 'IN LTIZERI4E. - -=
Doney Harris, a noted bruiser of
Philadelphia and. -anothervrough, by
the name of liiditin, of New York,
with their backers proceeded to Lu
zerne county, on Monday week, for
the purpose of fighting for a purse of
$l,OOO. The ring was formed near
Scranton, which the men entered at
10 o'clock, on Tuesday. The fight
lasted six rounds. Harris had the
beat of the fight all the while,cutting
Martin in the moSt•dreadful -manner,
while be was unmarakea. Traliestkth
round Harris hit his man right and
left and got down on his knees, in
which position Martin struck him a
dozen blows. The United States de
tectives rushed in the ring •at the
time Harris made his claim to 'the
referee, and a general sttrm'pede took
place. Harris, Corcoran, Chaffers
and seine others are arrested. Mar.
tin is badly punished, both eyes beint
nearly closed. The right eye was
closed in the second round.
ITALIAN TRAGEDY.-^T II 0 Italian pa
pers give an account 'of a terrible
tragedy at Turin. Two lovers, find
ing an obstacle to their union, resolv
ed to etteritte. The .young man
wrote' a 'later ito mother and a
letter to hig sttee'ebteart, Rosita, and
then blew out his brains. Rosita de
termined t© share her - lover's fate.—
Her family entreated 'hem° be 'calm ;

daughter the moment rho heard the
pistol's report. At the 'eight 'of her
bleeding, dying child, the poor wo
man's senses fled from her by emo
tion, and she is now in a mad house.
Rosita's young sister was so struck
by this tragic scene, she attempted to
leap head foremost from the window,
*nd was with the Ittmoet 'diffrcuity
restrained.
INTERESTING DECISION.—It will be
remembered that the Great Eastern
steamship, in September, 1861, when
two days out front Liverpool on her
way to Xew York,. met with a violent
gale, in the ra'iftt Vfe . rbich her ruddet

A GREAT RAILROAD UNDERTAKING.
—Tbe work of tunnelling the Alps
for railroad purposes is so slow, com
pared with the necessities of internal
trade and travel between France and
Italy, that it is contemplated to build
a railroad over the mountains on one
of the military roads constructed by
the first lapoleon. The tunnel will
not be completed in less than twelve
years, but the railroad can be built in
two. When it is remembered that
the summit of the pass through the
mountains is seven thousand feet a
bove the level of the sea, with gra
dients at some points of one in twelve,
the descent equally rapid, the (ME.

Orr From Petersburg there is a re
port that a part of General Early's
atmy, from the- 'Shenandoah Valley,
has made its a.ppearan`ce'on the hOrth
side of the James, in front of General
: 14utlier's lines. A portion of General
Sheridan's•arniy'has already sailed
up the James to reinfoi•Ce 'Grant.—
There has been no fighting lately,
and no movement of any importance
is reported from either army. Three
days ago, by •a, skilful manoeuvre, the
Confederates 'managed without loss,
to cut out And capture forty-two head
of cattle from Grant's line. General
Leo has at length made a report of
'the picket fight, about which there
has been such a great difference of
opinion. Lee says he lost one man
killed, and nine wounded, and captur
ed-ono handredAntl eighteen Federal
prisoners: The Data 'Gap Canal is

six hundred thoUsandlioands of shell
and sold them to the Confederate

thousand shells, it is estimated, have
been thrown into Petersburg; and
with all this bombardment but fifteen
persons have been killed and thirty
wounded.

of the Bank of Commerce, Nevi York,

A rotnance ih heal Life
A romance in real life, of deep plot,
and thrilling denouement, is , jtist. tow
the chief topic of gossip'in Tatiziton,
Mass. The facts, as related by the
Taunton Repfeblioan, are these :
It annears that about twenty •seven
years ago a Captain Brown, whose
family resided in Mattapoisett, was
'the'li'l+ of the eState of %MT. Hen
iy wealthy gentlemen of
Richmond, Va. From cause, whlell
still remains secret, a difficulty arose
between Capt. B. and Mr. C. wherein
the former considered himself the ag
grieved party. To revenge himself
for the supposed wrong he stole Mr..
Clifton'siblant daughte'r, (t en but
six weeks old), on the day she was
christened. The child was brought
to Mattapoisett, and secretly adopt
ed by Brown and his wife as their
own. She was Julia, and grew to be
a woman. When only sixteen years
old she married Mr. Isaac 0. Pierce,
a printer, who learned his trade in
Fall River. Several years ago they
moved to Taunton, living for a while
at East Taunton_ but more recently
at the Green. Two children have
been born them, one . of ivlrun is now
living. During this long peried Mrs.
ie'ree fits lived In blissful ignorance
`ether high parentage, and Mr-Pierce,
who took her for better or worse. had
never imagined himself the husband
of an heiress. He abandoned the
printer's trade shortly after learning
it, 'and 'for several years has earned
his ditilyVread ,the 'sweat of his
brow let Mr. kiriSon',i3 Works in this
city. Thisis their'hisTols , 'until with
in it. trdiy ShOrt time; n6W comes the
denouemek.
Last sun - liner, wh'ile Rev. Mr. Tal
bot, of this city, Was at Saratoga., be
becaine acquainted With Clifton
and wile, who, it aupears, at the break
ing '6aT, 'of the, rebellion, converted
their Rietvrie:`oncl viyofieity in to cash
and moved to 'Baltimore; ;the
course of conversation theih btr
T. remarked upon the striking resem
blance of Mrs. Clifton to a lady par
ishoner of his in Taunton. Nothing
particular was thought of it at first ;
but on his repeating the remark, Mrs.
C. inquired the age of the lady. On
being informed that she was about
twenty-seven, Dirs. C. immediately
said to her busbind, "Why, that
would just be the age of our 'daughter
that was stolen." The matter then
received their serious attention. Mr.
Talbot was taken into their confi
dente, and inquiry instituted as to
the reputed parents of the youn g la
dy. lie leturned to Taunton; had a,
conversation with Mrs. Pierce in re
tard to, her parentage ; informed her
of the gar6.togk..eonversation, which
led her td ask Mrs:, drown, who, she
had never doubte,d; was her own
rnotherfilshe .
;Were such, at
the sic time telling her the reason
of the inquiry. Mrs. Who had
kept the secret of the partAitage
for twenty-seVen years, *as We' ;cher
come by the qUestiOn and the &Vet
opulent of facts that she immediate
1Y heetimeill, and died of the heart
disease. Refore her death, hoWever,
she acknoWledged that Mrs P. was
ntit her own daughter: Capt. Brown
died a nuniber of years ago. Within
a feiv. Viee,ks the affair hag deiiblop
ed itself : rapidly; Mr. and Mrs. Clif
ton and Mrs. Pierce have met each
other ; and the old colored woman,
who nursed the abducted infant, has
recognized Mrs. P. as their real child
by a "mole on her shoulder V' The
identity of their long-lost daughter
having been fully established, Mrs.
Pierce and hor husband have been in
vited to live with the Cliftons and
share in their wealth; and thiA they
are preparing to do, having breken
up housekeeping and dispefied of their
furniture. The cream of the atrair
