.SPKI.NO ELECTIONS. —In Lewistown ;
the election on Friday resulted rather
disastrously to the ticket got up-atj
the Democrat office. It was ingenious-!
]y mixed by sprinkling a few -war ;
democrats'' (whom the copperheads j
openly denounce as more hateful than ;
black abolitionists,) and had any of i
them been elected the result would :
have been heralded forth as a triumph
for the peace democracy I But these
war democrats were not flattered by the
unsolicited distinction of being voted
for in company with sundry copper
heads, and some of them we hear
actually voted for the major part of
the Uuiori ticket. Rudisill who'suf- j
fercd his name to be used for chief bur- :
gess "to fill up the ticket," was beat
en by 105 majority, a vote which the i
very men who placed him on it will
make tell against him should he here- j
after apply for an appointment or
election to ofiiee. The editor of the !
Democrat was also anxious to tost his !
popularity for School Director, and !
was flattened out by S8 and 90 major- ;
Jty —the former Hamilton's and the I
latter Loop's. The vote was as fol- i
lows, and although smaii, is an increased
majority over last fall's election, which !
shows that the People are in favor of
suppressing the rebellion by all the
means which military usages have
placed in the hands of the govern
ment :

—There is no army news of moment,
hut if tho weather keeps good we look
for stirring times under Grant
McCiellan and Lee.
Francis Waldron's story of an inter- ,
view between Lee ami McCiellan is
now generally discredited. Ilis evi
dence is considered unreliable. and he
has been dismissed from examination. !
It is said that Waldron lias retracted
his story; has confessed that he was
intoxicated at the time he told it. &c.,
&<x These reports, whether partially
or wholly true, are enough to annul
what would have seemed at first a still
more improbable story, had it not been
published over the signature of V ah
dron himself, who wa- thought to be
a respectable citizen.

LIEUTENANT GENERAL GRANT

Lieutenant General Grant formally as
smncd the command ot the armies of the
United States on Thursday. The follow
iog is his order on the subject :

United States. ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
I assume command ul the Armies of
United States. My headquarters will be !
in the held, and until further orders, will j
be with the winy ol the Potomac.
There will he an office headquarters in '
Washington, I>. C., to which ail official
communications will be sent, except those
from the army here. Headquarters are at
the date of their address. U S. GRANT.
Lieutent General of the U S. A 1
General Grant leaves for Washington on
Saturday, and repairs immediately to the
front. IIis staff is composed of officers
formerly with him in the Mississippi.
Among them are Brigadier General Raw
lings, chief of staff; Lieut. Col Bowers;
Capt. G. K Leet; Capt L. S. Parker,
Assistant Adj't. Gen ; Capt. 11. W. Jones,
A. Q M ; Capt. Baleur; Lieut. Col. Duff,
late chief of artillery, goes as senior aid
decamp.
There appears to be some truth in the
statement that the rebel cavalry are mak
ing preparations for a grand raid upon the
lines of the Army of the Potomac. Stuart
is massing a force at Charlottesville, where
he has three brigades, and at Fredericks
burg, where he has two. A detachment of
rebel cavalry crossed the Rappahannock
at Fredericksburg on Weduesday night
last, and on the lolloping day one hundred
and twenty of them were captured by the
18th Pennsylvania Cavalry. On Friday
another detachment of rebels crossed ;.t
Morton's Ford, but they were subsequently
lorced to recross by the 7th Michigan Cav
alry. A report that a crossing had been
effected at Raccoon Ford is pronounced in
correct. Twelve deserters from the 10th
Louisiana Regiment came into our lines
during the week, and availed themselves
of the benefits of the Amnesty Proclama
tion.
News from North Carolina to tta 14th
instant says that two Union prisoners were
frozen to death on the trip to Richmond
to Americus, Georgia, while passing through
North Carolina. Thirty one prisoners es
caped from the cars between Brandville and
Augusta. The hanging of fifty-one Union
soldiers at Kinston by the rebels, and the
reported hanging of several companies of
the 2d North Carolina, white regiment, in
Western North Carolina, recently captured
by the rebels, has given a fresh start to en
listments of conscript deserters, who are
eager to avenge these atrocities
A despatch from Chattanooga says that
the rebels are in force in our front,
but make no demonstrations. Considera
ble excitement prevailed in "Georgia on ac
count of Governor Brown's message. The
rebel papers are discussing it with much
violence. John Morgan's command left
Decatur a week ago.
A despatch from Washington to the New
York Commercial says: "Rumors have
reached here eta threatened rebel demon
stration upon Norfolk, but not much cre
dence is given them. Uur forces there are
well prepared for any contingency that may
arise.''
From Tennessee we learn that the rail
road is completed from Chattanooga to
Ringgold, Ga. All is quiet at the front
'Hie rebel Gen. Forrest is reported to be
organizing for a movement to West Ten
nessee. Another report says that a heavy
Rebel force is preparing for a movement
into Kentucky. Numbers of guerillas are
dailly surrendering themselves toour forces.

Trading in Greenbacks.
\\ tn. S Keys, a private in Company E.
| 25th \ irginia battalion, was examined be
fore C. S. Commissioners Sands, on Satur
j day last, upon the charge of altering a one
! dollar greenback to a ten, and then selling
l it for SI2O in Confederate money. The
alteration was easily perceptible, the addi
; r.ion of the figure 0 being much smaller
than the figure 1 before it, and the altera
rioo in the letters ONE to TEN being very
; badly cxeeu'e 1. Tlie note as altered to
| a ten was sold to Mrs. Jemima Edwards
by Keys, who formerly resided in lJalti
