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. .

•'formerly .the rebel privateer Retribution, was de
•cided.in the United States District Court at the pro
tsent teniiThfavor of the Government. Judge Frieds

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.

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 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. IX.—information has been re*
ceived at headquarters that Price’s army went from
California to Boonesville yesterday, , and Shelby
sent 2,000 cavalry across the river at that point.
Gen. Fisk has gone to Lexington, and will take
command there.
Gen. Sanborn is stilt pressing the enemy.
Reports have been circulated that Magruder,
with 5 000 rebel Infantry, entered Southeast Missouri
and occupied Frederlckstown, but these stories are
unfounded.

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.

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

sponsible therefor, simply shameless. How the
travelling public will relish the change remains to
he seen. ' "V- ■

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.

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

CITY . ITEMS.
The Popularity of the Wheeler & Wilson sow
ing machine Is best-evinced by. its enormous and
constantly increasing sales. 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

The Majorities in many of the districts In this
