THE BACKBONE OF ABOLITIONISM BROKEN IN LANCASTER COI NTY 1 We have the great gratification of announ cing to our readers that the cause of the Union has had a glorious triumph in Lancaster county, for proof of which we refer our read ers to the official returns. 'Tie true, the en tire Independent Union ticket is not elected, having failed by a very few votes ; but we have carried the > two Judges, three of the four members of .Assembly, the County Commissioner, and (when the Volunteer votes are all received and counted in,) a portion of the balance of the ticket, and, what is of still more consequence, have given a death blow to the STEVENS domination in the Old Guard. For many years this faction has ruled the county with a rod of iron, and com pelled an implicit obedience to all its mandates. It has been gradually abolitionizing the Re publican party, contrary to the wishes and exertions of many of its most respectable adherents. But the end of the tether was reached by the nomination of the HOOD ticket. That was too bitter a dose for the honest, con servative men of the party to swallow, and the consequence was a rebellion in the camp, a breaking of the "ring,' and the rout of the Abolition force of STEVENS, BatmeKca, HIESTAND & CO. This is no common victory, and it is only because the Union sentiment prevails to a great extent in Lancaster county that the conservative voters were able to overcome the immense Republican majority of six or seven thousand which heretofore ruled, and the thorough organization which has held the party together from time immemorial. The people have spoken in their might, and the Clique, which ruled the roast for more than thirty years, has fallen under the crushing weight of popular odium, never, we trust, to rise again. Presuming upon the over whelming majority usually bestowed upon their ticket, they treated the wishes - of the people with contempt, not only as to candi dates, but, above all, endeavored to keep up, party strife and partizan feeling, when the Perilous condition of the country, requires a union of hearts and hands, and an utte r abnegation of party, in sustaining the Govern_ ment and vindicating the Constitution and laws. They persisted in bolding their usual party Convention, and in utter defiance of a well known public sentiment, nominated a purely partizan ticket, and that, too, of the very darkest stripe, and then, under the whip and spur of self constituted leaders, attempted to dragoon the honest masses into its support. - But the people refused any longer to bow the knee to this Abolition Baal. They turned away from it with loathing and disgust, and have effectually broken the back of the hated monster. It was a noble sight to see Demo crats and conservative Republicans forgetting former party differences, and wendibg their way, arm in arm, to the polls, there to deposit their ballots in behalf of their bleeding and distracted country. The result is before the world—a glorious and triumphant victory for the cause of truth, justice, and the Union.— •Verily, : they have their reward in the official returns published in another column. Or- The election of Prison Inspectors and Directors of the Poor appears to be in doubt. There is evidently some mistake in the footing up, and the truth can only be known after all the official*returns of the Volunteers are coun ted in, and a correct addition made. The im pression is, that at least one Inspector and one Director on the Union ticket, if not all four, are elected. The result of the election in this City was a crushing blow to the STEVENS faction. In a poll of a little over twenty one hundred votes, there is an average Union majority of nearly 12001 indeimndent of the soldiers' votes.— We beat the enemy nearly four to one, and might have done even better by two or three hundred if our voters had all turned out to the polls. It was a sweeping triumph for the cause of truth and justice, and places the City of Lancaater in an enviable position before the 'people of the State. THE COUNTY VOTE In addition to the City of Lancaster the Union-vote was very heavy in many of the other districts of the county. In the Bo roughs of Columbia, Strasburg, Mount Joy, Adamstown, Marietta, and - in Colerain, May town, Bart, Drumore, Little Britain, Leacock, Warwick, Paradise, West Hempfield, Caernar. von, Salisbury, Earl and Lancaster townships, the ticket made a great run. Indeed, every where throughout the county it was supported far beyond the most sanguine expectations, and the zeal and energy displayed by the Demo cricy and the conservative Republicans are worthy of all praise. In every township the republican party lost ground, and the Union men gained largely upon the popular vote as compared with former elections. THE ELECTION. The returns of the election are not suffici— ent to determine the political complexion of the Legislature ; bnt it is certain that the Dem °orate have gained largely, and.possibly elect ed a majority to the House of Representatives'. 'We have never known an election of it was so ,difficult to, obtain the:Tears:az : The Democrats have gained a Senatotin Philidel phie" one in Schuylkill, and, in all probability . one in Montgomery and one in Bucks.

The leading Republican newspapers of Massachusetts are " down" upon Mr. CHABLEs SIMMER'S recent emancipation speech in the Republican State Convention, all agreeing that the repetition of his annual ravings about the barbarism of slavery was out of place at this time. This is one of the signs of the times. Less than a year ago such speeches were received with acclamations in Republi— can Conventions. Another significant sign of the drift of public opiniim was the refusal of this Convention to pass a resolution in favor of negro emancipation in accordance with the sentiments expressed in SUMNER'S speech.. And still another of these signs is to be found in the expresskin of opinion like the following, in the Springfield (Mass.) Republi can, whose editor was present at the Con— , vention: " After the reading of a very superfluous string of resolutions, CHARLES SIIIINLR came upon the platform, and was received with warm cheers ; and as he was introduced and went off into the usual anti-slavery speech, we could not help thinking of Mr. Wemmiok's little cannon, touched off so regularly at sun— set in " Great Expectations." Every year, as it comes around and brings a convention, brings out Mr. Sumas in a full dress and a speech, which proves that he has sworn never to talk of anything but slavery, with, perhaps, a mental . reservation touching him— self. The ' aged parent' is always present to hear the gun go off, and to express his delight with the noise. We could not but feel that Mr. SumNmee speech was ill-timed and out of place." ABOLITIONISTS AND FORT LAFAY. EIZEitE With respect to a suggestion that such in cendiary persons as Reverends Cheever and Beecher should be sent to Fort Lafayette, and such incendiary journals as the Boston Liber ator, the New York Tribune, the National Anti-Slavery Standard, the Chicago Tribune and the New York Independent should be suppressed by the Government, the Boston Courier offers some practical remarks ; Surely these newspapers and reverend, per sons, with their confederates, stand on the very outer edge of flat rebellion itself; indeed, they are as inveterate foes of any thing possible to be called a Union of States as the most invet erate Secessionists, because they openly declare they will have no Union except on their own terms, which are out of the question. It is evident that the time mast come when some thing must be done with them—but the question is, when and how ? In our judgment nothing would tend so much to the public welfare, by the settlement of public opinion, as the prosecution of those pestilent newspapers and parsons. We desire to see neither'mob law, nor any arbitrary proceeding applied to them by the Government. We are firmly for freedom of speech and of the press, according to the fundamental pro visions of the Constitution, and because any thing short of this is totally inconsistent with the whole theory and practice of public and private liberty. But in order that this liberty of speech and of writing shall not become licentious, it is not necessary to define it and keep it within the bounds ofjustice and reason. In a free country, of all others, this is most necessary. Where there is the greatest temptation to licentiousness and opportunity for it, there it is most necessary that the ill disposed should be most held under wholesome restraint. We have suffered amazingly in this country for want of sounder public sentiment on this subject. Nothing could regulate this so well as solemn and formal judicial proceedings.— We propose, therefore, that the parties in question be properly indicted and brought to trial, either for their treasonable speeches and conduct, as the case may be, or as distur bers of the public peace and safety. By thorough investigation of the true principle of Republican institutions at the bar, and by the solemn adjudication of a learned bench, let the case of these culprits be determined. As the result, if found guilty, let a sufficient fine and suitable imprisonment be awarded— enough to stop them effectually, and to cheek others inclined in like manner to offend. We should thus soon put men of more discretion and of a higher tone in the management of the press, which would then be as beneficial as it is now too often misohievous—ranting cler— gymen would' devote themselves to their proper vocation of the care of souls, instead of bewildering themselves and others in politics —and thus public sentiment and public con— duct might be essentially enlightened, raised and refined. • LEBANON EBERT!

A telegraphic despatch from Halifax an— nounces the arrival there last week of the schooner United States, the vessel in which Dr. Hayes sailed from . Boston on his last expedition to the Arabi regions, bringing back the commander and party all well, but reporting the deaths of two of their fellow voyagers. These two are Mr. August Sonntig, the astronomer and second in command of the expedition, and Mr. Gibson Caruthers, the carpenter. The expedition sailed from Boston on the 7th of July, 1860, in the schooner United States, 140 tons burthen, which had its name changed from that of Spring Hill. The plan was to proceed first to Upper Naviok, in lat. 72 deg. 40 min., there to proctire dogs and furs, to leave that port about the end of July, and, proceeding through the middle ice, to reach Smith's Straits about the 15th of Au— gust. It was calculated that the first summer would be exhausted in reaching that locality, the winter setting in early in September.— From that time till March, 1861, they were to remain inactive ; but, on the earliest return of sunshine, sledge parties went to be formed and engaged in making explorations. The expedition reached Smith's Straits, about the 78th degree of north latitude,, on the 26th of August, 1860, but found that the ice could not be penetrated and that the schooner could not reach any higher. They wintered at Port Foulke, expecting to get into Smith's Sound when the ice would be melted in the summer. It was in this Sound, in longitude 78 degrees .40 minutes, that Dr. Kane's vessel, the Advance, had to be aban— doned in May, 1855. But the Straits continued sealed up, and so far as the navigation of the Sound formed part of the plan, it had to be abandoned. Sledge parties, however, were formed, and in one of those Dr. Hayes made explorations as far north as 81 deg. 5 min.; about the same latitude that W ElB reaohed by sledge parties in the last expedition commanded by Dr. Kane. This point was reached on the 18th of May, 1861. Mr. August Sonntag, whose death we are sorry to see recorded, was an experienced voyager, a highly acconiplished artist and tio distinguished man of science. He was engaged in the service of the Government on the Mex— ican expedition, on Dr. Kane's Arctic expedi tion, and, we believe, on Commodore Perry's Japan expedition. We await with interest Dr. Hayes' report of the expedition. TREASON IN ARIZONA TERRITORY.—The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press says :—I have just seen a copy of the Mesilla Times, a Secession paper published at Mesilla, Arizona Territory, dated on the 10th of August last. From this it appears that a complete Secession Government has been organized there, from Governor down to justice of the peace—the Governor being the notorious John R. Baylor, well known for his violent pro slavery feelings. The Times - calls for troops, in order to enable the traitors to hold the Territory, and apprehends an attack by way of Southern California, and by the regular troops still quartered in the New Mexican department, now on the borders of Arizona. It appears that three regiments of these troops are in New Mexico, and it is supposed they could be largely increased from the floating population of the neighboring Territory of Colorado. The Times demands the extermination of the whole Indian race.— It boasts that, by the abandonment of Fort Staunton by the United States troops, on the Bth of August, property equal to three hun— dred thousand dollars has fallen into the hands of the traitors, including the fort, and adds that not a single Federal soldier is now left on the soil of Arizona. THOROUGHLY UNITED. All parties at the North—except a small faction of Abolitionists—are thoroughly unit• ed in support of the Government in its efforts to subdue the Southern rebels. All parties, with the exception Blinded to, have furnished men and money to carry on this war. NEWARK LOYAL TO THE ONION. A Democratic .

We trust, however, for the credit of human nature, that this theory may prove to be un founded in truth.-,Friday's cpress. FIRE IN MASTIC TOWNSHIP.—On Sunday night week, an act of incendiarism was committed on the property of a very worthy citizen in Martin township, Mr. Samuel Cramer which .deserves the severest reprobation and the moat st ringent punishment, should the malicious scoundrel be found out. Mr. C's barn, with the entire crop of the season was consumed, consisting of 400 bushels wheat, 800 bushels oatd, several tons of bay, a large quan tity of straw, threshing machine, farm wagons, horse gears, etc. Theliorses were secured in time to avoid destruction. The total loss was not less than $2,000, half of which was covered by insurance; as we are informed, in the Chester County Mutual Insurance Company. MILITARY MATTERS.—Capt.

Ben .was a "high private" in the three =tithe service, and his letters from camp were among the best and moat interesting of any we read.. We trust our good friend will not lay aside entirely the "grey, goose quill" for the weapons of warfare. Ben is well aware that "the pen Is mightier than the sword."— May he return safe and sound, at the close of the war; to his old arm chair in the random sanctorunt, and covered all over with honor and glory.

The Lieutenant is no novice in the art of soldiering. He served with distinction In the Florida War, and was the Orderly Sergeant in Capt. Patter son's Lancaster City Infantry during the three months' service. For many years he has resided in this city, and he enjoys the respect and esteem of all who know him. DEATH OF MR. Jerez L. KEFFER.—The large circle of friends and acquaintances of kir..Totur. L. Hums, of this city, will be pained to learn that he, died on board the 11. 8. steamer Pulaski, at Montevideo, South America, on the 4th of August bud. The readers of The Intelllgen car will also regret the decease of a favorite correspondent. His letters, over the signature of "JAOH," Were always full of interest and graphio in description, and were read with avidity. He had a versatility of talent which few pori sassed. He was an excellent Printer, and bad not his su perior as a Painter in this city. He, however, loved a seaman's life, and there ire few places of Interest in the world that he had not seen. He was a kind and devoted friend, and a better fellow or more genial companion than . Jam neer= never lived. The announcement of his death' was received by his brother, Prot WASSEINGTON ELRarna, of this city, on Thursday last, in a letter from Lieut. W. H. hisoown, commanding the Pulaski. Lieut. idacoKa, in hie letter, says: The painful duty devolves upon me, as commanding officer, to announce to you the death of your brother, John L. Heifer, late Captain's clerk of this vessel. " The melancholy intelligence I have now to communi cate is the more painful on account of the great friendship I bad ever entertained for your good brother, and the loss of the association of one whose versatility of talent - was so eminently useful to the community. " My good friend, your brother, had only been ill for the short space of eix days.

BLANKETS FOE THE Sounaits.—The need of thick, rich, warm, single blankets, weighing, my, five pounds, for the use of our soldiers, is extremely urgent.— The 11. B. Quartermaster. General le buying all the good blankets he can procure, and the State. Quartermaster General is equally energetic, yet very many more are re. quired than can be purchased. Thousands of volunteers now facing the enemy are unprovided, while others have suffered from the use of miserable blankets of wretched quality. A military man writes: "No one who has not made the experiment Of passing a night on the ground with insuffident protection, can have any true idea of the 'miserable discomfort, the depression of spirits, and the wretched physical disability produced by such exposure: The sufferer arises in the morning weak, nnrefreshed, and iThconditioned. jle is scarcely half a man; and, moreover, the pnenmonias, the plenrisies, the diarrheeas, the rheumatism, with all the host of other peetilencee that walk in darkness, often attack the ably covered soldier and strike him from the ranks. Surely it Is not necessari to remind your readerethat camp diseases are the deadliest murderers of troops In the open Held—far more destructive than shot. and shell, and bayonet.' And we well know, that the badly-dad soldiers are chiefly the victims of these disorders. Shall we leave onr,brave ones defenceless against the grist enemy, while we am protect them if we will/ If not for their sakes, if not for human ity's and duty's sake, then, in the name of our own selfish nem, let node All in our power to defend those upon whom we are this day looking as the defenders of our liberties and rights in the Union. • There are many fang. Bee, into whoee hands your paper passes, that= give one or more blankets from their abundance." PORT .DEPOSIT CORRESPONDENCE. Potts DXPOECIT, Cecil Co, Md., Oct. fith. 1881. Mame. EDEMAS : Preemming that your boat of readers would like to know the true version of the "dreadful ren counter," at this place, on the 21st of September, ult. The particulars, NI taken down verbatim et Itteratim by the beet Stenographlst in the State, at the "Coroner's Inquest," are these: On Saturday, 21st September, 1881, being the day set apart for the primary or district meetings of the Demo. trade party, the place of meeting for thisdistrict (the 70:1) was at "The Farmers and Commercial Hotel," where the Democratic, meetings have been held for over forty years. The Democratic voters of this district met at the boor 8 o'clock, P. M., and nominated the different district= officers. Whilst balloting for a choice, there was heard a great noise on the street, near the meeting. The proprie tor of the hotel to the tertuom door on the street, and met, coming In, 10 or 12 soldiers, belonging to the camps at Perryville and Havre de Grace, Md. Immediately behind the leader was one who carried a small deg in his hand, who made the remark that the first man who laid hie band on' the Sag would bee "dead beat." = Balboa struck at the hotel proprietor with a bowie knife, although the proprietor, Mr. Robert Braith, had told them that their Union Sag should be protected while under his roof and they should have the liberty to carry it all through his. hotel, if they (the soldiers) thought proper. 'Smith dodged the blow aimed at his throat. They then •pareed into the adjoining room; where the Democratic meeting was being held; they went to the table where the hakes were bluing counted, and having the 11. S. flag, they same that it was "a d—d Secession meeting," Sc., Sc, One of the Demo. crate told them that ft was net a "Peace meeting," nor was It a "Secession meeting," but it was an "Andrew Jackson Democratic meeting!" and requested the soldiers to be seated, and hear and Judge. of its character.

Stand ing a moment, a sort of hiseing noise, was made simitltaneously by all preeent, which is_ the Signal.of appearance or- 'departure of the. Tyceon. - Instantiy a curtain Was drawn aside froin 'the room in front of Mr. Harris, which -disclosed-10 - view the boy Tycoon, eighteen years old, sitting on his chair of state, on a dais some fi fteen inches above the main floor. -Mr. Harris, advancing slowly, bowing very low, walked up in front of the Tycoon , and de livered his speech, assuring the Tycoon of the friendship - of the President of the United -States, his desire for the Tycoon's happiness and prosperityi.the gratification felt in the United - States at the visit of the late embassy, expres sing the hope thatthat event willstreng then the tits ;of friendship between the two countries, and testifying 'to the excellent deportment of the envoys while 10 this country. Mr. Harris' speech was very short, but was excelled in this respeot by that of the Tycoon, who said " The receipt of the letter and statement is satisfactory. .Tie friendly relations between the two countries shall be :increased more and more: Your long residence here must be wearisome to you.° The President's letter, wrapped up in white satin, was then handed by Mr. Portman- to Mr. Harris, who placed it in the hands of the Minister of the State, and the latter handed it to his Majesty. This done, the hissing noise was a inter heard, and his Majesty rose, when the A merican Minister and his nter— preter retired, and the interview terminated. Neither of the speeches were impromptu ; they were both written and translated, and copies exchanged several days before the au— dience. Next day the presents were exchanged, con sisting of a two bushel box of assorted oandies, whioh was sent down to the American Consul at Kanagawa, and by him distributed to his friends. This comprises the whole ceremony of an audience with his Majesty the Tycoon, about which so much has been said. The same writer adverts to the many extra vagant stories which have been circulated about the Imperial palace of the Tycoon. He gives the following description of it: "The wonderful and mysterious palace is nothing but a huge barn, or railroad depot, or freight house, except ,not half so high, the palace being one story only, some thirteen or fourteen feet between the floor and the ceil ing. The ceiling is carved woodwork, similar to their temples, which are generally occupied by foreign ministers and consuls, and many of them are very beautiful. This oarved woodwork is filled in with gilt paper, which gives a very bright, cheerful effect.— The groundwork of all the palace paper is white, spangled with vines, trees, plants, birds, flowers, &0., done with exquisite taste with gold-gilt, as it appears, but only with a com— position formed of copper, nickel, and one or two other substances. " With all the boasted wealth of the Empire, there:is not a single pane of glass in the new palace, paper being used instead ; the same as it is all over Japan, without any regard to class or wealth. The floors, as far as we saw, are covered with plain white straw mats, without a stool, or bench, or chair, or any— thing of the kind to sit down on. The Japan ese, of all classes, never sit down except -on their heels or knees. Not a single article of furniture is in the palace, unless it be in the Tycoon's private apartment, where of course the public have no right to enter." THE BRITISH CRY FOR COTTON. The London Times of the 10th ult. contains an interesting article on the cotton demand and supply, from which we extract as follows : "Every account we receive from distant points tends to show how every available bale from countries capable of producing the plant is likely to find its way to us. Moreover, although the Confederate States still assert that they will meet the blockade of the enemy by a self imposed blockade, and not allow a pound of cotton to leave their territory, it is seen that this declaration does not harmonize with the last news--that at the taking of the Hatteras forts a vessel fully laden with cotton was_found waiting to run out and evade the Federal cruisers. From Texas, therefore, a moderate supply is still expected. The great argument, however, for abstinence on the part of our people and Government from incurring at the moment any heavy liabilities in distant quarters, consists in the circumstance that the lapse of a very few weeks is now likely to show, either that the American crop will come forward, or that, on the contrary, India may set to work to take the place of that country, and to supply henceforth all our tremendous requirements. If the policy inaugurated by General Fremont in Missouri-is to be adopted by the Federal Government, the war-will then be one of abolition ; and in that case, whether peace be delayed or attained immediately, the production not only of cotton, bat of sugar, in the United States, will temporarily at least share the fate that attended the productions of Jamaica. If, on the other hand, the Demo cratic party in the North become alarmed at the Union being committed to such a result, and are able, notwithstanding the force by which the expression of their opinions is now kept down, to re assert themselves. and to insist upon a compromise or adjustment with the South, there will then be no impediment to an early resumption of the , ordinary course • of traffic. Meanwhile it is, of course, satisfac— tory to weigh the subjoined statement, and to observe that so far from American cotton being the arbiter of our destinies, our eman cipation from all need.of it is, perhaps, simply a - question of £8,000,000 or £9,000,000 ster ling. Tug CORN Tams.—The movement of corn from the Northwest to Tide water is said to be unusually large. In 1847 the receipts by the Erie and Champlain canals did not exceed twenty thousand . bushels. Since that date they have gone on increasing until to ihe Ist of this month they had"reached the enormous amount of fifteen millions of bushels. Of this shipment New York city has received over ten millions of bushels, Albany ; more than two millions, and Troy one million and a few hun dred thousand bushels. The recent rise in'the price of wheat, will, it is thought, cause such , a forward movement in that grain as to re quire all the carrying facilities of the canals during the next few months, and hence it ie expected that the receipts of corn at tide-water will be considerably reduced. THE SPANISH EXPEDITION AGAINST MXXICO. It is stated that the Spanish expedition, whioh Is being fitted out at Havana, will consist of six batteries of howitzers and ten thousand men much of the material being *arranged in packages ithitable for transportation on mules. It - will be ready to set sail about the last of November, andwill be commanded by Gener als Garsete and Eatheraeria. :At last accounts from Spain, the war ateamer Leone was await ing for the result of the cabinet conference in reference to the coalition against rd4ico, and it-is understood that she will Wog mat ''thti ultimatum of Spain. - - TWO OHIO STATICI , SLECTION.

Nest, •an escaped Federal prisoner, inforMed the News that on the 27th the Confederate force amounted to 46,000 man, and as reinforcements Were arriving every hour, he thought that on the following Monday the entir e army must have been 50,000 strong. • Of these about 25,000 were well armed, well drilled, and comparatively e ff icient troops; tha.remainder Were armed merely with shot guns and squirrel rifles, and had but little drill or discipline. Capt. Neat heard from Price's soldiers that McCul loch was in the Southwest, marching northward to join Price at Lexington,and bringing with him 7,000 pairs of shoes, as well as clothing, for the Missouri troops. In the same paper we find the official report, from the Confederate Colonel Saunders, of the skirmish at Blue Mills. According to this account the Federal force engaged in that affair was about 1,100 men, and the Confederate strength about 1,500. Colonel Saunders claims a Federal logs (which he says they acknowledge) of 150 killed, wounded and missing, and 10 prisoners—Against a, loss on his own side of one killed and seventeen wounded. A considerable quantity of canister and grape ahot was taken. The News has intelligence from the Cherokees concerning the action of the Chief and Council of that nation. The Chief Ross, who has hitherto been re garded as a staunch adherent of the Union, had con vened his COSMO 11 'at Talequaft on the 20th of August, and cent in a message recommending alliance with the seceded States.

We copy the following, from an account 'of the siege of Lexington, which appeared in the Chicago Times : At this juncture, our men discovered, with no little dismay, an engine of, war which was being brought to bear on them, threatening the consequences which they 'dreaded somuch —a Safe approach of the enemy, and an ulti matenh'arge in force over the intrenohments. The rebels presented a strong: breastwork of hemp bales, whichappearedlike a moving bar rier, impenetrable to ballets or cannon shot, and swarming with men in the rear. It was about"twenty rods in length, and the height of two bales of hemp. The* bales were placed with the ends facing (=fortifications, affording a thickness of 'about six feet. This immense breastwork commenced moving forward, not by detachments or singly, but in one vast body, unbroken and steady, as though it slid along the ground of own volition. It, advanced steadily, over the smooth' surface, parting to passtrees,' andclosing up again, asimpenetra ble as a rock. Behind it were hundreds of men pushing and urging with levers,.while_ others held the bales steadily in their planes, and others, still, whose numbers were almost indefinite, firing between the crevices aid over the top at' our soldiers. Our men looked at the moving monster with astonishment. It lay like a large serpent, winding over the hills and hollows, apparently motionless, yet moving broadside on; to envelop and destroy theth in its vast folds. In vain the cannon were turned upon it. , The heavy bales absorbed,,the shot harmlessly, or quietly resumed the positions from which they were displaced, seemingly moving without hands, but in reality controlled by strong arms which were unseen. In vain the musket bulleta rained upon it in unremit ting showers. Thelhousands that it concealed were ; safe - from such puny assaults,. slowly gliding along, they, waited with eagerness the time when their position should warrant them in bursting through its walls and storming up to the entrenchments. Olir brave soldiers could only' watch it with keen anxiety, and , witit.for the fearful results.
