WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1864. liESiIBIiAT’S RKSiTM IN PEVASYLVANII, INDIANA, AND OHIO. That a substantial victory was achieved in Pennsylvania yesterday by the Union forces, on the home vote, is beyond con- ArW-ersy. It must not be forgotten that yre have made all our calculations upon, the vote of the election last year, when Governor Curtis was re elected by a majority of 10,835, and when, On a reasonable estimate, from 15,000 to 20,- 000 soldiers voted —at least two-thirds, of 'Whom supported Curtis. Yesterday we' had few or none of these men voting in their respective election precincts. The thousands who did throw their .ballots lime not yet been counted. Under the daw of the last Legislature, the return of the sol diers’ vote must be made by the election officers in the various camps and hospitals 10/the Protlionotaries of the respective bounties, which cannot be published for some days. This vote is estimated vari ously al from 80,000 to 40,000, of which at least two-thirds, judging by the intelligence already received, will go for the Union can didates. We think, therefore, the Union majority on the home and soldiers’ vote will be at least 25,000. When it is recollected that we; fought under the most dreadful dis advantages, it is indeed a substantial triumph. And this is more apparent when we remember that we have carried both branches of the Legislature, and gained at least t : three .members of • Congress; and with the soldiers’ vote we shall not -be surprised if we gain one or two more. Wherever the Union vote has fallen off heavily, as in Lancaster, Erie, Ches ter, and so forth, this is to ho attribu ted to the enormous proportion of Union men in the army. But frankness compels us to say that in all these counties, inclu ding several others, not necessary to name, our friends must aPonce reorganize if they would be worthy of their ancient fame at. the November election. But what words of gratitude and joy shall we utter for Indiana and Ohio, espe cially for Indiana ? They have done a bet ter work than Pennsylvania, and we give them full and candid credit for! it. While it is in Pennsylvania that the Copperheads spent most of their money, under the per sonal lead of Mr. Belmont, making of this -the battle ground, yet it cannot be denied •that they made a most bitter and persistent assault upon Indiana. Nobly, under the lead of her able and fearless Governor Mob •ton, have the Union legions resisted this onset, and let them in all places be honored "'for it. Tlie October verdict of these three great States settles the Presidential question. •Mr. Lincoln is already re-elected. He is Mind who doubts or discusses this great and wholesome fact. They will repeat their •decision in November, and this done, as it will be done beyond peradventure, why should our enemies attempt to stem the irresistible torrent ? The Rebels Discouraged by Jeff Davis’ Tate Speech. The authenticity of Jefferson Davis’ speech at Macon is sufficiently proved by its general republication in the Southern -papers. There cannot be the slightest doubt that Davis made this open confession of the desperate condition of the rebel cause, though it is strange that he should have voluntarily done so much to injure it him self. As . “ Guilty creatures, sitting at a play, Have, by the very cunning of the scene,- Been struck so to the soul, that presently They have proclaimed their malefactions,” ■so Jefferson Davis seems inspired by the demon of perversity to confess the failure of his war add the ruin of his hopes. The rebel papers seem to .be astonished at the ■rocltlessness of their leader, and - though they understand his despondency they are indignant at his madness in proclaiming it. “ The least the President says about the late campaign in Georgia the better.” Thus says the Montgomery Mail, and fur ther complains that he is “ sapping the con fidence of both people and army by his wis dom, encouraging ouf enemies, and paving the way for what we shudder to reflect tipon.” The Lynchburg Virginian consi ders portions of his speech unworthy, un dignified, ill-timed, and reprehensible. The Charleston Ifereury expresses its “profound regret that such a speech should have been delivered by the Chief Magis trate of the Confederacy.” In a word, Jefferson Davis, by declaring that nearly •two-thirds of his soldiers have deserted,' that his armies are at all points outnum bered, that there are few men left between the ages of 18 and 45, that the hoys are go ing to the field, and that the old ' men must - fight, has alarmed and amazed the South. He has admitted all that the North desires to believe, and has confirmed the declara tion of Grant, that a united and an ener getic effort is all that we need make to vic toriously end the war. The confession of the rebel chief is not needed to convince the North that the Union is triumphing, but it will do much to destroy the delusion of the South, and hasten the day of its sub mission. Lex .the people of those counties wherein the Union vote is apparently decreased, ■wait till the soldier’s; vote is announced. Prom the Democratic counties, which have sent few men to the war, are the heaviest majorities, against the Union. Eight out of every ten Pennsylvanians in the army will vote the Union ticket, 'and great gains will be made in districts now reported to have lost. ' The immense majorities in Indiana and Ohio alone place Mr. Lincolk’s re-elec tion beyond doubt. The Presidential canvass is decided, and nothing that the Opposition can do can reverse the action of those noble States, or destroy its" moral effect throughout the North. . WASHINGTON.

Judge Frieds read: his opinion on Thursday last, dismissing the claim of the .British merchants at Nassau, on the ground that vessels of war of a belligerent cannot legally bo cold to a neutral in time of war.

Fifteen or. sixteen Union Congressmen have been elected. ' SCESIS IX THE The election yesterday, groat and cheering in its results, took place with remarkable order and regu larity, and, .excepting the noise of congratulation occasioned by the Union successes, it was as quiet an election as has been held In the city since the act of consolidation., In a low of the wards disturb ances occurred, hut the vote was so overwhelmingly and expectedly In javor of the Union party, that ail disposition to quarrel sank Into acquiescence under the revelations of the evening. The old«time bonfire was lighted in every part of the city, arid urchins toasted their heroes as heretofore. Tho general as pect of the. Opposition was extremely prolonged, ex ceeding by measurement the famous Union probes, sion of Saturday last. Joy among the friends of the Union was universal. THE UNION LEAGUE HOUSE, The crowd began to gather near the League House at a very early period of the evening, and continually increased up to alatehour, filling all the square between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets. The returns, as they were brought by messengers to the League nvjiii o>u i>uoitu tajto oicy j were carded and sllded out upon the lighted screen ar ranged from the second-story window. Towards . nine o’clock the returns came in rapidly. The ma jority of the Ninth ward was first read, arid fol lowed by thousands of cheers.; Portions of the crowd began singing “ Bally round the Flag,” and soon the ohorus was taken up by others. The Sev enth ward gave In its majority of 816 to another outburst of cheers. The greatest enthusiasm occur red when a delegation from the Tenth ward marched along with torches, hearing a banner inscribed with “1238 majority,’’ and much rejoicing was mani; fested from the windows of some of the private residences. Crowds -of people took up the march with this delegation,- while the still expectant masses waited to hear the majorities from the First and Twenty-sixth,. Eighteenth, Thirteenth, Twentieth,'and Fourteenth wards, footing up a ge neral majority of over 6,000. ; The great majority of 4,137 in favor of Charles O’Neill, seemed to inspire the hopes and faith of all the patriotic; and a stor m of cheers broke when it was announced that Hon. W. 11. Kelley had carried his district by. over 3,000 majority. Good temper prevailed between people of different parties, though the largest Union majo rities were sometimes reflected in the longest faces of those who voted the-Democratic ticket.; .Many gentlemen of the defeated side wore a look of bit ter penance. MEETING IN THE LEAGUE HALL. While the assemblage in the street were enter tained with tho returns, a crowded meeting was organized in the Hall of tho Union League, and presided over by Mr. John Hanna. The Union majorities were read from the platform, and were received with immense applause. A highly inter esting speech was made by General 'Whipple, from the Army of the Cumberland, who related some of the most cheering incidents of the Atlanta cam paign, and dei ailed his experience of the great Union sentiment of the army. The meeting was also addressed by Mr. John Goforth and Mr. W. H. Maurice. The meeting adjourned at "eleven o’clock, in lull anticipation of a groat victory. SCENES IN AND ABOUND “ THE PRESS” OFFICE. During the whole of last evening our office was thronged with anxious seekers after tho returns from the city and the State. Even in the wee sma> hours of this morning they came with eager ques tions : “ What from Berks?" “ What from Craw ford ?” “How is Lancaster?” and athousandothers. The greatest interest was manifested in the answers, Inasmuch as they generally detailed facts which placed the Old Keystone by the side of Maine and Vermont, to keep step with them to the music.of the Union. About 10 % o’clock last evening a large procession, composed of delegations from the'Flrst, Fourteenth, Twentieth, and one or two other wards, together with a large detachment of the Republican Invia elbles. with torches and transparencies, marched down Chestnut to Third, down Third to Walnut, and up Walnut to Fourth. Tho procession was halted before tho office of The Press, and loud calls were made for Colonel Forney. He being absent, John D. Stockton, Esq., addressed them In a short speech, In the course of which he said: I regret that Colonel Forney Is prevented by sick ness from welcoming yon this evening. In his ab. scncc I have to announce a decided Union majority in the city, and that the soldiers will swell the ma jority in the State to twenty five thousand. [lm mense oheerlng ] You will also be glad to bear-all of you—that there Is no doubt that Indiana has gone for the Union by a d eclded gain—[cheers]—and that the Union candidates in Ohio have been elected by decided majorities. [Cheers.] These are facts of which your cheers show your appreciation, and whatmoro need I say. I present to you Colonel Forney’s thanks for the distinguished honor you have done him. - The conclusion of Mr. Stockton’s speech was greeted with loud cheers. Thomas M. Coleman, Esq,, was then introduced and made a few remarks. He congratulated them oh the splendid victory at the polls which had been achieved in the cause of liberty throughout all the land ; the glory oftkat victory would be, if possible, greater In November. [Cheers.] The white Then,- the freemen, not only of Pennsylvania, but of the whole ffortb, intended to assert their rights; they were determined to bow down no longer to the mi serable aristocracy of the South. At the conclu sion of his address the procession marched away. ; . ■ THE CONTINENTAL THEATRE. 1 , The Keystone Club’s headquarters, at Continen tal Theatre, was: well filled last night with the « faithful,” to listen te the election returns; Tfi* Hon. Cl E. Wtirfl; Capt. E. W.PowersJ okas. w. Brook;.?, John O’Byrne, and other magnates" of tffe party were present on the platform, together yrSth a goodly number of lesser lights. A band was sta tioned in the orchestra, and alter the returns an nouncing a Democratic gain were received, or a few encouraging remarks were made by the speakers of the same paity, the entertainment was enlivened by music. . i The ward returns were the first to be received, and as the gain in the Fourth ward was read the whole audience burst Into tumultuous cheers. The Democratic loss of two hundred in the Twentieth ward was a damper to this, and the low murmur * ings and long whistling wore , neither fe w nor far between. As soon as a Republican gain was an nounced, John O’Byrne, or some other member of the Club, would come forward, and by a few bits of “ blarney,” endeavor to destroy the disheartening : effect.' '■ : , , V- ,- John O’Byrne, Esq;, acted -as jester of the eve ning, and judging by the laughter which followed nearly every sentence, we are sure he was appro-, elated. A small Democratic gain in Chester was announcedvwith the elegant remark that “ the Cop per hoads had carried the war Into Africa, and had lilt somebody beside the nigger.” ; A Republican gain In Tamaqua was thrown cut with the cold comfort that the Democrats"had car ried the war into that region; but the Repubiicana had picked up their stragglers, and- thereby had achieved a victory. . An announcement that the Democrats had gained heavily in Allegheny was received with cheers, but tliese-soon subsided.when it was given out that the old Democratic Twenty-second ward had given a ma jority for the Union .ticket. ' Seeing a gentleman flit across the stage, Mr. O’Byrne announced to the audience that “the Campheiis were a-coming;” but nudging the said gentleman on the. arm, he good-humoredly said “but a greater than the Campbells is coming on the fourth of March nest.” The audience took this as an allusion to McClellan, and Immedlatelyraised a howl for Little Mac, taking advantage of which, Mr. O’Byrne retired. , In answer to loud calls, the gentleman (not Little Mac) alluded to by Mr. O’Byrne stepped forward, and, after soundly lecturing his audience for not having more Democratic voters assessed than were, be counselled them to submit, if fairly defeated at the polls, but if they were cheated by bringing in bot' gus States or other means, then to rise in “their Democratic might and majesty,” and, under the lead of their favorite chief, hurt the present Admi nistration from power. He asked all who were In favor of doing this to raise their right hand. Nearly the whole audienee acquiesced, and greeted the speaker with cheers. *■ Loud cries were now made for Brooke and Sipes'. Hearing the latter name, some little urchins, forget ting tbe company they were in, bawled out at the top of their voice, “ supes,” in the midst of which Captain E. W. Power stepped forward, and asserted that the reason they could not give more hopeful returns was because the Administration had posses sion of the wires, and would not let Demooratiq “victories” flash over them, Loud cries were again made for Brooke, but that gentleman not being present, a Mr. Bruner stepped forward and announced that he had already spoken .twenty-eight times daring the canvas, but he was so filled at the present momon t with anxiety that he could hot address them at any length, The news received to-night, said Mr. 8., was very cheer ing, but still we should not “ crow before we are out *ofthe woods.” Counselling them to wait until to morrow night, (this evening), he retired. A rumor having gained ground that fighting was in progress in Chestnut street, the meeting, at 15 minutes of eleven, adjourned by mutual consent. THE JtEPTJTSIICAN INYINCIRLES. At the hall of the Republican Invlnelbles, the members of the club and other citizens assembled at an garly hour lh large numbers. At about nine o’clock the president of the club, George Inman Riche, Esq., announced the votes of the different wards as they were received. A band of music was in attendance, and a glee club sang “ Babylon is fallen,” “ John Brown’s soul is matohing on,” and other airs. As soon as it was indubitably ascer tained that the Union party had carried the city with large gains over the last election, the club put on their equipments, and,'beaded by a band of music and a transparency, on which; was inscribed “ Victo ry,” paraded through some of tte prinoipal streets. THE DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS. • The headquarters of the Democratic State Central Committee, on Chestnut street, above Sixth,,were quite deserted durißg the evening. Had it not been for the lighted transparency of Mr. John O. Heenan on horseback, passers-by would scarcely have known that it was a rendezvous of disappointed. Copper heads. The Chairman of the Committee, with the other members o! that important body, were holding forth at the Continental Theatre, where there was such a jam of jolly Democrats that elbow-room could not be found after 8 o’clock. The Union City Ext entire Committee, whose headquarters is oppo site to the Democratic, ha d prepared sliding scales, setting forth the returns from the various wards, which, when put forth, excited considerable en thusiasm.' The Democrats hissed and hurrahed, and as one party cheered for Lincoln 1 the other cheered for McClellan—so the cheering and counter cheering were kept up to a late hour, and with the 1 exception of one or two emeutos, everything passed off satisfactorily. RE-ELECTED. Alderman John "White was re-elected yesterday •in the Fifth ward by an official majority of 450 votes. He received quite a number of votes outside of his own political party. He has served one torrnj dur ing which he justly won the esteem of a number of business gentlemen. GRAND UNION PARADE. L It Is contemplated to have a grand Union parade by daylight previous to the Presidential eleotion in November. RIOTOUS CONDUCT. Last evening the Republican Invinoibles, the Second ward, and the Tenth ward delegations made a. triumphal parade, passing in their route down Chestnut . street. The Second warders, having achieved a victory in their section of the city, were in great glee. They had with them their, illumi nated shot-factory. While passing along in front of the Keystorie Club headquarters, an attack was made,and a rush was also made to take the tali lantern. A fight, ‘‘short, sharp, and decisive,” took place, hut the police interfered and made a number of arrests. An attack was also made on the Tenth ward, when another short fight took place, in which the rebels were flanked, and hand somely thrashed. A feint was made to draw the ißVlrieibles into an impromptu ambuscade, but it failed. The rear-guard of the Inviricibles ohangod front, but the enemy fled. The police were promptly about, in goodly num bers, and made quite a number of arrests. The par ties were detained for a hearing. They gave the following names; William Pcarcoj Peter Henry SUdi-aU.. fioyeri Brady',':?!! ll .Devine, James McAleer, Wm. Call, John Collins, George L. Rapp, James 6. Riley, and Louis Ton sock, who were charged with riotous and disorderly conduct. Wm, B. Rankin, formerly of Philadelphia, but now of New York, was arrested on tho charge of carrying concealed deadly weapons. A loaded re volver was found in his pocket. Thomas Moran was also charged with carrying concealed deadly weapons, in the shape of a black jack and pistol. ) - . Besides the above, Theodore Rice and Henry Smith were arrested on the charge of picking pock ets'. They were locked up for a hearing. It doeß not appear that anybody was seriously hurt in any of these riotous demonstrations. A pistol was fired Into the Tenth ward delegation, but we did not learn that anybody was shot. National Union Conventions. ■ v" Massachusetts. . v- Boston, Oct. 11.—The Republican Convention of the Fourth district have nominated Samuel Hooper for re-election to Congress, and J. M. S. Williams, of Cambridge; ibr Presidential Elector. VBSSIOKT. Bokj.ington, Yt., Oct. li.—The Union Conven tion held here to- day, has nominated the following Electoral ticket at large: Hon. Daniel Kellogg, Hon. W. L. Catlin; and for District Electors G. M. Dow,' Ryland Flosser, and James W. Simpson. About two thousand delegates were present at the Convention. Parrot Birds of Use as well as Parrot Guns.— Two men In Birmingham were recently charged -with robbery, under rather singular cir cumstances. It seems that a woman went out to get some meat for dinner, and locked tho door be hind her. On her way down the passage leading from the conrt' in which the house is situated, to the street, she saw the two prisoners. On her return she again saw the prisoners, who ran away. She found the door all right, hut, on going inside,' - she discovered that the money drawer of her cabinet had been broken open, and that ten shillings and a sliver watch had been taken away. The proseou trix lad a parrot in the same room, and she stated, In answer 10 alawyerwho appeared for one of the prisoners, that when she went in the parrot said to her, “ Oh, missus, you shouldn’thave left the house. Brook has been with another rogue, and stolen all the money.” On hearing this she at once suspected,, /the accused men, and reported the robbery to the police, who went immediately in search of the priso ners. They found them in tne White Lion, Lud gate-hill; and, bh searohing them, found on the per son of one of them the watch and ten shillings in money, less one,penny. THE WAR. THE INVASION QF. MISSOURI.

THE REBEL DEMONSTRATION ON JEFFERSON CITY— : TKE REBELS DRIVEN OUT OF THE TOWN OF OALI- CoKNIA. Sr. Louis, Oct. 10.—From the'Jefferson City cor respondence of the Democrat, it seems that the rebel demonstration on that place, on the 7th, was merely to occupy our 'forces while the enemy’s main body crossed the Osage river. After feeling our fortifica tions, and - finding them 'strong, they passed #est ward during the night, 20,000 strong, with sixteen to twenty guns, and a long train. ■ Gen. Pleasanton arrived on the morning of the Bth, assumed command, and in the afternoon fol lowed the rebels with about 8,000 cavalry. At night, reports reached Jefferson City that wo had engaged Price’s rear, while Gen. Curtis, coming firom Kan. sas, was fighting them in front. The Democrat's Jefferson City despatch of to-night says that a courier had just arrived from California, twenty-five miles west, bringing Information that our cavalry were skirmishing with the enemy nearly all day yesterday. In the afternoon the rebels en tered California and burned the depot and a train of cars. Price Issued a proclamation stating that he had come into the State with the Intention of re maining. He desired to make friends and notene mles, and that the depredations he had committed wete a military necessity. About 4 o’clock our forces placed a battery out side of California, drove tho rebels out, and killed and wounded over one hundred of them. Our loss was only a few men wounded. The railroad was torn up about a mile on each side of California. Tho rebel Colonel Standevoit is reported to have been at Tipton last night, with 5,000 men, moving towards BoonevHle'. The rebel Major Bowie and Lieutenant Key were killed, and Colonel Shanks was mortally wounded. Colonel Fletcher, with fif-" teen men, arrived here from Rolla to-night, and re ports that 1,500 men are repairing the Southwest Branch road. A bridge and water-tank were burned: at Scott’s, eight miles west of Jefferson City. MOVEMENTS OF THE INVADERS, St. Louis, Oct.

[Special CorrespondencJ of The Press. 3 New York, Oct. 11,1884. WISE NOMINATIONS, . The Draper Union Convention has at length made its nominations; nominations wWell; so - far as re gards the character of the men thereby designated, must meet with the approval of every man who cherishes'the best interests of the country. Thl3 is the ticket: For Sheriff, John TV. Farmer; Super visor, A. V. Williams; County Clerk, J.W. Thom son ; District Attorney, Thos. B. Van Buren; City Judge, Orlando L. Stewart. Mr. Farmer is the well-known philanthropist—a Howard of Ms times. He was the originator and supporter of the New York Soup Room, an establishment at which the poor of the city receive gratuitous meals throughout the winter. Sustained at Ms own personal expense, although he is far from wealthy, it has now become a public charity in the broadest sense of the word. It is refreshing to find a Convention which, ignoring the spurious claims of blatant political hacks, gives Its votes In favor of one whose modest benefactions have become a by word with the homeless and needy. ■ . A TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE occurred to-day upon the New. Haven Railroad, im perilling the lives of many of the citizens of this and adjoining cities. The accident happened near Eighty-fifth street, and was caused by the severing of a defective rail. It appears that two engines were engaged In drawing a passenger train to the depot where horses are substituted for locomotives. It is possible that the weight of the macMnes caused the breakage. They, together with two or three of the lorqinost : cars, passed safely over, but the: re. maining ones, becoming detached, were twisted suc cessively from the track, and, plunging down the embankment, were wedged together In ruins. A SCENE OR TERROR 1 ensued. The cars were shattered and splintered, yet beneath them lay a groaning mass of humanity. Limbs had been crushed, and almost every, species of contusion Inflicted upon the unfortunates. For tunately they were within reach of Immediate medical assistance. Axes weresoon procured, and therewith the tops of the cars were cloven open, and the entombed passengers released. Many la dles were upon the demolished portion of the train, an# the majority of them were injured more or less; severely. P. T., Barnum and Park God win, Esq. , of the Post, were among the sufferers, the latter being severely bruised. It is estimated that over one hundred persons suffered by the casualty ; and at the present writing two are reported dead. The news of the accident created the wildest ex citement among those of our citizens whose friends or relatives were known to have been passengers upon the fated train, 1 ' failures .• were plentiful on Saturday among the' commission merchants. Rumor enumerates some large houses which are supposed to have become suddenly riek etty, and In imminent danger, of bankruptcy when ever another decline in prices shall take place. MISCELLANEOUS. The family of President Juarez have arrived in this city from Mexico. They came via New Orleans by the steamer Ariel. The gravest apprehensions are entertained for the safety of the steamship Roanoke, now so long over duo at this port. The car companies raised the fare upon their re spective lines yesterday from five to six cents. Low enough in the abstract, to be sure, yet, when their enormous profits are considered, and the flimsy ex cuse projected that the internal revenue law is re sponsible therefor, simply shameless. How the travelling public will relish the change remains to he seen. ' "V- ■ THE CATTLE MARKET. At the cattle market to day beef-was firmer at 8K @9c. The receipts amounted to 8,000 head.

In New York, some days ago, the trunk of a hu man being was found floating in a dock at tbe foot of Little street, Brooklyn, by a boatman who was gathering drift-wood. When first discovered, it seemed to be merely a bundle of clothing wrapped In a piece of oiled table-cloth, and tied with a com mon clothes-line; but upon opening it the boatman found the mutilated trunk of a human being. He at onee Informed the police, and the remains were taken to the police station, and there Coroner Norris made an examination, and found that the lower limbß and pelvis had been amputated, the arms had been cut off at the .shoulders, and the head had been severed. The trunk had been wrapped within - several sheets of brown paper. It had evidently'not been in wafer more than seven or eight houis. A white muslin shirt, with a narrow plaited bosom, a whit e flannel undershirt, part of a coat and waistcoat of fine gray material, and a soft gray hat trimmed with black tape, were also found In the bundle. The coat had been cut from the collar down the body in a jagged manner, and the arm sleeve had been cut on, evidently when the arm was' severed. c Coroner Norris made an inves tigation, but was unable to fathom the mystery, and the matter came to be regarded as the work of waggish medical students, until Monday morn ing, when another porsion of the same body was found, wrapped In a piece of oiled table-cloth, pre cisely like, that in whieh the first found remains were wrapped, and-tied with a cord tallying ex actly with the cord that was used in tying the bundle which was found in Brooklyn. This second handle-was found by. a boatman off Cor lears street, in the East river, floating within about six inches of ; the surface. To It was attached a fragment of a boiler or water-pipe, the weight of which, however, was insufficient to sink it. The boatman opened the package, and on finding hu man remains, notified the police, and Coroner Wil dey was summoned. The coroner, however, finding everything enveloped in myßtery, gave the further investigation into the hands ofhls deputy, Dr. Geo. B. Bouion, and the latter at once went to Brooklyn to consult with Coroner Norris. It was found that tbe clothing, which was clearly that of a fashion ably-dressed young man, fitted to a nicety that whieh was found In the Brooklyn bundle; and from its appearance, it appeared evident that the body, fully attired, had been sawed in two above the um bilical cord, and that It had been done in a very un skilful manner. In the bundle which was taken from near Corlears street were found a narrow cheeked silk handkerchief and six trunk and door keys, one of which, a latch-key, can easily he identi fied by any person that has ever feen; it; and this peculiar key, which may he seen by applying to Dr. Bouton, at the coroner’s office, No. 4 Centre street, may lead to some further knowledge of this.terrible mystery. That a bloody and hideous murder has been committed somewhere within a fortnight there can be no doubt. It is believed to be more probable - that the dime was committed elsewhere, and that the body was cut so that the murderer might take if in small bundles under his arm, and travel until he could find an opportunity, "unseen, to castit Into the river. : i s : At a meeting of Brooklyn Common Council on Monday, a communication was received from Coro ner Norris, detailing the; circumstances attending the discovery of the first portion o£_ the mutilated remains, at the foot of Thttle street, on the 8d inst., and recommending that a large reward be offered Tot the detection ofi’ue K® also stated that he Had been called upon by Dr. Bouton, as-, slstant of Coroner Wlldey, of New York, who in formed, him that the pelvis of a man waofound float ing at the foot of Cortears street, yesterday morn ing. On comparing the parts, they discovered that they were of the same body. A portion of the pants remained on the pelvis, and corresponded in color and texture with xheportionsof clothingfound with the body, which is-still preserved at the dead house. The Council haS'offered a reward of one thousand dollars for the detection of the: murderers.—A. -F. Sun. ■ IiETTBr. pnosr GeNSBAX.

Friends of General Fremont.— General Fremont Laving with dignity yielded to the political situation which Las made the support of Mr. Lincoln Recessary to save the country from the oontrol of a ..party which is confederate in war and in political efforts for the destruction of the Union, none of his friends can :jpermit their regard for him, or their indignation for the _ treatment he received in the .military service, to influence them to aid in. the election of a General who was guilty of the meanest acts perpetrated on General -Fremont or his troops. Almost the fltst of General , McClellan’s acts, after he became General-in-Chiefwith virtual ly' absolute power over all the forces of the United- States, was to dismiss from the 'service in disgrace the Fremont Body Guard, who had just electrified the country by a charge which is not surpassed by any of the deeds of heroic valor which history has made immortal. ... Englishmen celebrate the charge of the ‘Light Brigade in heroic verse. ■ For a more brilliant and vastly more important charge, General McClellan dismissed the Fremont Body Guard from the ser vice for the reason that when they .charged, a hun dred and fifty against two thousand, through a storm of bullets by which forty horses fell at the first fire, their battle cry was, “Fremont and the Union t” For this they were degraded, their trained and bat- : He-tried horses taken from them, for a long time re fused pay and rations, and dismissed 'from the ser vice. Think of this return for an action whose bril liancy shone ontof the dishonor of Ball Bun, and the disaster which had just before resulted from Gen. McClellan’s first attempt at gensralshitt In the field, at Ball’s Bluff Gos««e, ’ Larob Positivr Salb of Boots, Shoes Tr velling Bags, Sea., This Daw.—The early tlon of purchasers is requested to the large assort! ment of boots, Shoes, brogans, and travelling biuj" also, a large invoice, of boots aha shoos, panii damaged, embracing samples of I.XOO packayes of fint-class seasonable goods, of city and Eastern manufacture, to, bo peremptorily sold by catalogue on four months’credit, commencing this mornlnv' at 10 o’clock, by John B.

Nor is their reputa tion less abroad. • Tho highest premium was award, ed for it at the International Exhibition in London ; at.the Industrial Exhibition at Paris, and at Kao ntgsbnrg, Prussia. Those awards were in accord ance with those universally made at the various ex hibitions in this country. Indeed, no human testi mony could be stronger than that which has been accorded the Wheeler & Wilson sewing machlna for superiority over all others for family use, and for general manufacturing purposes. The Wheeler & Wilson establishment, at 701 Chestnut street, continues to be one of the most popular institutions of Philadelphia. The Quiet Expression of Popular Pkepb. bences Is a glorious American prerogative. This was emphatically signalized in the proceedings and results of yesterday. Nor Is the elective test ap. .plied merely, toymen. Tt extends to the use of machinery, as Is exemplified in universal preference practically expressed for. tho “Grover & Baker ” ’ over all other Sewing Machines. This is an intelli gent preference, as everyone will admit after esq, mining. The “ Grover & Baker ” Company s»- facture both the “Lock” and the aroree & Baker” Stitch, which are tl»- two best, and pur chasers of either one. after a trial, have the privi- Ifge of exchangj B g f or the other If they prefer doing Bp, For all kinds of family use,, and many of the finer kinds of manufacturing purposes,‘the Grover & Baker Instruments are certainly preferable to all Others. The fact of their carrying off the palm of victory whiter they are exhibited In competition proves this beyond A ppubt. “ What Everybody Savs Must be True.”—■ It is not doubted that there are several Sewing Ma chines extant that are little better than none, yet there is a wide difference between what are regarded, “first-class,” which any one will appreciate by ex amining and comparing. For some months past the praises of the celebrated “Florence” Machine, sold at 630 Chestnut street, have been upon almost every tongue, and it is very certain that these en comiums are not without foundation. The “ Flo rence " performs all that any other sowing machine has ever attempted ; performs it more neatly, and with less labor; every one Is provided with a “ Bar num Seli-sewer ” free of charge, and sold with a guarantee to give perfect satisfaction or the money to the refunded to the Buy the “Flo rence,” by all means. The Election is Over.— After the suspense of weeks the country breathes again, notwithstanding the sighs of disappointed candidates. We shall now expect business to resume its accustomed sway, and every man who has not yet done so to go at once to Messrs. C, Somers & Son, 625 Chest nut street, under Jayne’s Hall, and- procure a new suit of Clothing:. 'The stock of these gentlemen is a marvel of completeness, and embraces the most elegant lir e of fashionable garments to be found in any one establishment In this city. Their prices also are unusually moderate. “ Lukin’s Flohtlinb,” the world-renowned Pa risian toilet article -for the hair, has become indis pensable to every lady who duly values the effact of beauty. Besides being the most effective invigo* rator and restorer of the hair; it is a most delicious perfume, and.imparts to those who use it the deli cate fragrance of the famed flowers of Southern. France. We are glad to find the merits of this article becoming so universally recognized. An inviting- scene is presented at the famous old confectionery house of Mr. A. L. Yansant, Ninth and Chestnut streets. His rare combination of every novelty under the sun in the way of fine French and American confections and choice fruits, are the subject of general; remark. H!s store Is daily thronged with customers. • The Stock of Gentlemen’s Furnishing Good 3 offered by Mr. Geo, Grant, No. 610 Chestnut street, Is the; finest in the city, and his celebrated “Prize Medal Shirts,” invented by Mr. J. F. Taggart, are unsurpassed by any others in the world in fit, com fort, and durability. The Majorities in many of the districts In this State yesterday were immense, amounting to thou sands. The number of tons of coal sent from Mr. W. W. AUer’s Yard, 957 North Ninth street, this year,will amount to tens of thousands. Cause why: He sells the best and cheapest coal In Philadelphia.
