The •Potoina' c Blockaded.
W 3 sins - row. Oct . 1;, 1861.
The steamer Mount - Vernon, - Captain ~
Mitchell, came up . to the yard last ulglit c 1
about elerein o'clock, having passed the
batteries at,, and below , shipping. point,
about eight o'clock, Abouttiventy shots
were fired at her front these batteries.
None struck. The tog-boat Pusey,which
passed ahead of the Mount Vernon, was
not fired - sit ; but the tug Robert Leslie,
which came close atter her, . had several
shots come very near her. Captain Mitch
„ell reports thirty to forty vessels . bound
up', with government stores, hay, 'otits
coal, oysters, Ike., lying at Smith's Point,l
(near Sandy Point,) Where_a portion of
the Potomac flotilla is at present. None ,
of these vessels dare pass up. -
There are threebatteries,
together thirteen guns; some officers,. say - ,
twenty-three. There appears to be only
four Or five guns in each battery: Of,
these, two are old 32-pounders, rifled at
Fredericksburg, and' now 84 7 pounders,.,
and.the others seem toibe' - smooth bore'
sl2'3: There is a battery just opened on
,Quantico creek, about half a mile. above .-
- shipping paint and Evansport Points dis-.
tatit about. a mile. The river between
thosepoints is about a mile: and three
.quarters in width, but widens rapidly be
tow Zrarutport.. There is said also to be
a battery at Timber Branch, and- one gnri
on the hill above Evansport. .
When the Pawnee and Mount Vernon
went down night before 13st, the Mount
Vernon with four hundred marines aboard,
went ahead, and gassed the batteries
abont"moOnslown. Thti, order was giv
en the inarines to lay down as they pass,
• cd the batteries, and they 1 - accordingly
laid about "two deep” on deck, thus es
caping the,uotice of the enemy. The
Pawnee passed the batteries a little af
ter daylight, and u-as fired atyby them in
successjort. Thirteen shots were fired at.
her altogether.from the three batteries,
and of these six'struck her, One came,
through her side into the ward room,very
near tie marine; one struck her • amid
ships, jusCalxrce the water line; one
struck her at cat-heads,; one in the ham
mock rail; and two aloft. A piece (about
a foot long) one of her knees was shown
to us this „morning, which was torn off by
a shot and thrown, through one- of her
ports on the Robert Leslie, - which was
alongside. '
The Pawnee is now: lying with the
_transports below the batteries. No ves
sels are coming up now, and the `Potom
ac is effectually blockaded. The nights
are moonlight, and a vessel can be seen
all along the channel ; so they can no lon
ger dodge by. The Navy departmept
say that the river. is not blockaded ; but
if it is not, then why is navigation. stopp
ed. -- Why must our-war steamers slip by
" between the setting of the sun and . the
._ rising of the, moon. Perhaps, we do not
know what a bloCkade is 1 Theselare the
facts.

-• Tim Upsult in the State.,
The election in this State tells a signifi
cant story in relation to party drill in the
Old Keystone. Tlic well meant efforts of
those who misealetilated the, strength of
party ties in their attempt to bring about
a union of parties; pretty generally
In the Democratic strong holds every
.proposition for.sncli union was repiliat- .
• ed, and most of them have returned their
usual Democratic majorities. In no sin:
gle Democratic county that we are aware
of, was any Republican pnt on a Demo
cratic ticket. But iri a number of strong
(Republican ',enmities Democrats were
1 placed.on - RepubliCan tickets and elected.

In Chester eounty . the Republicans . , us
ually have a majority,and the party Inalle
up a sort ofUnion ticket, putting on one
Democrat for the Assembly out of three;
but in all other Republican counties that
party raa-straight party tickets.' They
did so in Alleghany, Lancaster; Lebanon
and others; and the' Democratic party
made Union tickets with the .1.7t.i0n
publicansond elected them, in whole or
in part ; and these attempts to
_corer, tip
r a party defeat comes with ill grace trout
the Republicans; especially after, wicked
ly raising the cry of "traitor" 'against all
who would not support such men as they
dictated.

Sendtorout of eleven has been ,elected
this year, be is radical enough'• to • make
up_for want of numbers. • But the hon

The majority of Morrow E. Lowry for
Senator, in Erie county, _where both be
and Mr Galbraith, his opponent, reside, is
only 145. '• Considering that the • Itepubli

sand, this result is not at all flattering to
-Mr. Lowry. , _ •
Vefore the election he avowed over his
own signature that he had declared in• a
public speech, that if he was President of
the United States he would give the slave
of a master in aims against the govern
ment
. 160 acres of his master's plantation
for his masters scalp—and that he was in
favor of making' the war one of universal
emancipation. This open avowal
Lion sentiments diminished his vote, • but
did not accomplish his defeat. A paper
printed under his eye, and controlled and
sustained him,rejoices over his victory,
;wan abolition triumph, in the following
Words: ' • .

for the 27th Senatorial District of Penn—
