Copperheads suttain' ed a signal defeat at the election held in this State last week.— The Amentintent granting soldiers in the ser vice who are legal voters at home, the right. to vote,' was carried by _about one hundred tliortmuld majority; While the majority for the other /imendinenti will reach twenty or thin `ty thousand more. So dedtsive aresult alarms . the men and journals Who of)posed the first. A.mendrnent, and they are extremely anxious to disclaim - the idea that party Bnes were drawn in - the mattar. But it will not do. In this Cotmty; in Philadelphia and elsewherev the vote polled in, certain districts against the first Amendment was heavy., !bowing that the leaders had made a fight on that proposition -particnltudy. They urged their dupes to go to the polls and vote against the soldiers, while they ; ;remained away. If -the ; Amendment failed to be carried, a great object, Aces ob tabled. If it succeeded they escaped possihly, - the'odium of-working and voting against it, personally. • The efforts of the Copperhead leaders in this County, :to defeat the first Amendment, were exhibited in several Of the districts in which they have a majority, -esl pechtlly in the Ceases, where they polled 239 avast granting the soldiers the right to vote, and not :a vote against the other Amendinents. The same was the case in Ashland, Branch,. West' Penn, etc. It is is not likely that the mass of the , ,men who voted against the first, knew whae other Amend menta 'were about, nor was it necessary for the leaders to tell them. They were commanded to vote against the Amendment giving- the soldiers the right to vote, and the returns show how well they obeyed instructions.— The leaders used their, followers as cat paws, to pullithe roasted chestnuts from the fire.— No better evidence of the earnest, quiet fight made 'by the CorOheads on this question, is needed than the votes of Schuylkill and Phil adelphia. In this County while 3058 votes were polled againetthe first, only 1605 and 1587 votes respectively,. were polledagainst the second and third Amendnients. In Philadel , phis to 9930 votes against the first, only . 328 and 830 votes respectively, were polled against the other .kmendraents. Berks and Co lumbia counties the Copperheads fought the Amendments more openly, . and the_ ; former gave 1900 and, the latter 1000 majority against In the coming Fall elections the sbldiers from this State will w hen they vote, remem ber that every vote polled at the late election against them was given,by a Copperhead.— They will remember that the Union men of. Pennsylvania': amid _much, opposition and discouragement, persevered until they" suc ceeded in securing to our soldiers the right to vote. They will remember that it was a CoOperhead majority on the. Supreme. bench that deprived them of the right. They will alio remember that the Copperhead leaders here and elsewhere, to the last, moment, opposed he granting of the right. The party voted hick they control, proves'it, no rnatterhow much they may protest that perionally theydßnot work not vote against it. We lay these-facts before our soldiers in the service, for their ..'consideration. Let' them -judge who their. friends are: • - THE WAR NEWS. The news this week , is most cheering. Averill has pursued the incendiaries and plun derers - of Chambersburg :into the ,mountain fastnesses of Virginia. On Sunday last he overtook the drunken bnite McCausland at Moorefield, Lucid after a short but des- perate engagement, routed his -forces. The Rebel freebooter barely escaped capture. Bradley Johnson was taken, but was rescued by his - own men. Oar victory Was complete. The scattered rebels were pursued col' twenty five miles, and six hundred of than captured by A.ve.rill. Our loss was only seven •men. General Sheridan is in command of 'the Mid dle Department, and Early's force is reported to be in full retreat down the Shenandoah Val ley, in' consequence of a heavy Union force • having got, upon the rebel flank. •If the re bels make-a stand at all, we may expect soon to hear of a decisive engagement in the Val- ley. On Wednesday Sheridan watt_ within ten miles of Winchester, skirmishing. From Mobile the news through . rebel sources, is glorious. On the sth inst, Adini ral Fairagnt passed Fort Morgan, Which, With Fort Gaines, guarded the entrance to Mobile Bay, -and engaged the enemy.. The entire rebel fleet, with the exception of'one vessel, the Morgan, which succeeded subse quently in sunning up to the' city, was either sunk, beached, or captured.. The Tennessee, the rebel iron-clad ram, Admiral Buchanan's flag-sliip, carrying seven guns, on - whose prowess great reliance was placed, Was-cap tured; her commander losing a leg as well as Inds liberty; the Gaines, a cotton-clad; Carry ing four guns, was' -belched, probably P 3 escape capture; the Selma, also a cotton clad, and carrying four guns, was taken. ?Ile rest of the rebel fleet consisted of two Iran.: clads, the Nashville and Baltic, a cotton:clad --the Crescent, four small coast-guard stcatn.- , ers, and the 'Alert, a large .steamer carrying five guns. Admiral Farraoit's loss was one monitor, the Tecumseh, a single- turretted TeStit!: carrying two gtins. Rebel dispatches frjrn Mopile, August 8, announce the evacua- - tion of Fort Powell and the surrender of Fort Gaines. The former is fort tnountiug 12 guns, :on Little Dauphine Island, command ing Grant's Pass; the latter a powerful case mated work: Opposite Fort Morgan, with about sixty guns of all Calibres. PoWell bkiwn up on. Friday of last week, and Gaines - surrendered on Monday. There remained only Fort Morgan, with the capture of which - Admiral Farragut wfll.have complete posses. sion of the - entrap to Mobile. Bay, and may thenceffirth operate at - his leisure upon the city. There is nothing in the dispatch to, show why Fort Gaints surrendered, but mush gasconade about - humiliating circumstances, &.c. The fort is said to have been provisioned for six months,' and:there seem to be suspi- Cions of treachery on' the side of the rebels. But it is thought, : that this work succumbed to • the power of the heavy armament of Fir- . ragut's fleet. Pulaski, a far stronger fortifi cation, reckoned second in impregnability on the Atlantic coast, was forced to capitulate in eighteen hours of actual. fire from very quate bat/mks—the heaviest guns in Gil more's works being two.lo-inch Colurabiads. The rest were: rifled 42-pounders and 30 pounders, using James and Parrott projectiles respectivety, and there were in fact but ele ven guns that-effected the breaching of the - pan coupe, and compelled the aurrender of the fort. It need be no matter of surprise, therefore, if ..A.dmiral Farragut, with a fleet mounting numerous heavy guns, has in three days brought Gaines to terms and the rebel Dag ta ' the dust `• . No hint is given of the °fleet of thiri surrenL der 'upon Fort Morgan, which► lies right op posite Fort Gaines on 'Lbe east shore of, the channel, within easy range,. but it . dearly must hasten materially the reduction of that formidable work. 'Prment news is so good that we can well afford to wait for further in telligence, secure that the successes which Admiral Farragut .luts already - achieved are brilliant' and solid, and, that the indomitable old hero• pushing, his good:fortune with rapidity and restitution:.

Ormuz.: • Tat: movements of the Copperheads show that barren of any, principles thattmn command popular support in the coping Pregidential campaign, they are about placing themselves on a platform - of peace on any terms. The late Democratic Contention in Berks passed a series of resolutions to that effeet, Which of course.will term the basis of the platform to be`adopted at Chicago. How they can ex pect any large portion ofthe workingmen- of the North to sustain a party which :seeks . to Succumb to the tyrannical and.ariitecraticile mends of the slaveholding rebels, '_is_ not so plain. Permit the Rebels to conquer i Us in this war, and the fate of the Northern, work ingman will be that of the Southern werklag-, man, he will be oppres . ge.d,. ground down end ' despised.. Remember, workingmen, that these same Southern lordlings,.to whom the modern Democracy proposes to yield,: termed you ". "greasy mechanics," and said you should be slaves; 'lf through the aid of theNorthetu Sympathizers, they succeed in this ceatest, your condition, would be Wiest wretched under the slaveholdipg ty rants. Slave labor would be -lirought into competition'with yours, and the history of such competition is the degradation' of free labor. These facts are worth pondering. _ NOBLE.
