%\t fre si; SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1864. KESI/liTS OF ■ THE EJECTION. The general results of the Pennsylvania election are clearly summed up in the brief but emphatic Address of the Union State Central Committee,, -which we print to day, and they clearly show, not only that the State thoroughly. sustains- the Ad ministration, but that in November it will overwhelmingly defeat the candi dates of the Chicago Convention. ' Mc- Clellan has not the, slightest chance of obtaining the electoral votes of Penn sylvania, and of the three States which voted on Tuesday, the strongest effort of his party was made in this. Mr. Lra coln's Te-electjomiß a conceded fact, even thofe ans who most bitterly oppose it. Indiana, by her great and un expected Thp energy witn : which j_the war con ducted KaS flapped the issuing qpulloughs to our soldie||fand that twenty-three'thou sand of our voters have recently joined the army, arc pointed out in the address. The votes of all these soldiers are riot lost, though the commissioners to Siieiud'an’s army did fail to reach it, but will soon be officially stated... Out of 3,809 soldiers in Grant's army, 2,791 voted the Union ticket. Many regiments have not been heard from. It is -plain that the Demo -erotic party does not supply a large propor lion of volunteers, or that Democrats in the army arc- not there long before they’ give up their political prejudices for the sake of national principles. TUI* address of the Committee indicates increased energy and more perfect organi zation. It is only by a renewed effort that the Democratic gains in Union counties can be reduced, and it must be made. Lancaster must have been astonished at the official return of her vote ; we do not think the losses unfortunate, for it must teach the people the danger of over-confi dence, and the folly of those who allow local jealousies to interfere with public duties. The Soldiers’ Votes.- A man does not lose his citizenship when lie becomes a soldier. On • the contrary, ■when he np arms to defend the in tegrity of his country, to maintain its Con stitution, to preserve the dignity of its laws, he is, if possible, more of a citizen' than ever. The soldier, who is absent from his home, bravely fighting the battles ■of his country, ought not lose one tittle of his rights—it ■would he hard upon him if he did. In “the piping times of peace” ' he has a right to vote, at proper times, for the election of men to fill gubernatorial, judicial, congressional, legislative, muni cipal, and fiscal offices, as well as (in the roundabout niode prescribed by law) for the Presidency itself. Some time ago a • well-known jurist of the Keystone State deliberately ruled that the soldier-citizen had no right to exercise these rights of elec tion when absent from home on duty. His' opinion, however, was over-ruled by ■common sense and legislative enactment, and, at the tliree great elections which took -place this week, the soldiers of Pennsylva nia, Ohio, and Indiana exercised their light of voting as uncontrolled as if they went to the polls at home, and the feeling of the army has been shown to be overpow eringly in favor of the Union, and opposed; to the disloyal and dastardly scheme of ending the war by a degrading peace. The soldiers properly feel that no peace can he permanent, . honorable, or satisfactory, which is based upon any other foundation than tlie entire submission of the enemy. Crush the treason by subduing the traitors, and the reconstruction of our glorious Union will: immediately- follow. It is •through war only that peace can honora- bly be obtained. The soldiers’ vote, on Tuesday, in three great States, emphati cally and unequivocally says the war must he, carried on to the end. , The average vote of the soldiers may be estimated at seven to one. For one: soldier who voted in favor: of thepsawdo-Demo cratic policy of dishonorable peace, seven voted in favor of the Union policy of con tinuing the war as the surest, speediest, ' and most merciful mode of re-establishing the Union. It was anticipated by the peace-Democratie leaders that at the name of McClellan— 11 Athelstane the' Un ready" of the London Quarterly —an jim mense majority of the soldiers would vote for the candidates with whom he is content to march into Coventry. \Why— it is a rpuzzle to us, for it was a political judge whose principles McClellan very strongly ■endorsed, in his memorably-foolish letter •on the Gubernatorial election last year, who decided, bn the bench, that the soldiers •ought not to vote when absent from their old homes on duty, and the party who se lected Judge Woodwabd as their candi date, last year,' endeavored, by all means in their power, to induce the'State Legis lature to prevent the votes being so given. To labor, very earnestly, that the absent soldiers should not vote, while engaged in the war, away from their own homesteads,'' and then to expect that these men should vote for the very party who thus sought to •disfranchise them, is one of the greatest practical anomalies in the world. It is not without precedent, however, for, as Shy lock very feelingly told Antonio, to have called Mm names, rated him for his usury, spat upon his Jewish gabardine, and footed him, as one would spurn a stranger cur •oyer -his threshold, was not precisely: the best mode of coaxing a loan of three thou sand ducats out of his purse. The expectation that our brave - soldiers - •should give votes, at the present elections, in favor of the Chicago platform, with its peace plank already eaten through by dry rot, was wholly absurd. Since wars began the fighting masses never have idol of any commander who did not exhibit personal bravery ’ and’ achieve victories. The French army, when Kapoleon first became commander, in Italy, in 1196, rather /distrusted him, but-after they witnessed his personal daring at what he ever called the “terrible passage of the'bridge of Lodi,” they promoted him to the rank of •corporal (to the last he was their beloved ■“ Le Petit Caporal ”), and when, a few months later, placing himself at the head of a column, bearing aloft the standard wMchhe had seized, he, advanced through •a tempest of shot; : and planted it with his ■own hands on the middle of the bridge of Areola, there was not a veteran; there who would not have died for him. Soldiers, ere now, have fought with a stern and dogged courage in the: teeth of defeat,' but their heart goes with him who leads them through danger into success; then they feel “Tie triumph and the vanity, The rapture or the strife, The earthquake voice or victory, To them the breath of life.” If we have rightly writ our annals, the American soldiers have not had much cause to feel enthusiasm for McClellan on this account. A “ Young Napoleon ” without energy, without victories,-is an historical .paradox, which, when the soldiers come to vote, they could not solve, left “ alone in its glory; ” Seven votes out of every eight that they gave went to main tain the Union and ignore the .pretensions of George B. McClellan to the curule •chair at Washington. There was yet another reason why the •soldiers voted for the Union—for that really was the issue before them. That reason is supplied by the fact that as we have the largest,"# do we also possess the most in lelligent army in the world. It is doubt ful whether the proportion of those men v who cannot read and write can be evel so high as one in a thousand, whereas in the .English army, on the average, not more than one-third, or some 300 out of every 1,000, have this degree of education. -The 'English army, in its rank and file; literally consists of the refuse of society. A man there, who is good for nothing else, or who 'has done something which he fears the law will, detect and punish, changes his quarters, and enlists in the army.' So low is the general average of this classrtliat it usually takes twelve months to drill the re cruit into the semblance of a soldier, and it is considered that'he'is not a first-class ;soldier in less than seven-years. Over such .men the terrible and degrading punishment of the lasli-is ever suspended. Our men, however, educated and shrewd, readilybe corne soldiers, for their intelligence makes them understand the and the reasons for it, to which they axersubmitted, and some of the best officers in our 'service have risen from the ranks. There never ‘was, since wars began, such a well r educated, apt, appreciative, and intelligent soldiery as ours. No wonder, then, that when they came to vote their conscience and their sagacity seven out of every eight to vole for the Union. Gen. John A. McClernand. is, con trary to his long-expressed friendship for the. President, out in a weak letter for McClellan. He could not do this with out paying a personal compliment to that generous man who gave him all the im portance he B&s ever had during the war. Those who ask a cause for McClernand’s apostaey from patriotism will find one in Gen. Grant's report of the siege of Vicks burg. . / ■ c.-:v Homer vs. McClellan. r . Gen, McClellan’s position is accurately illustrated in the following lines from Pors’s translation of Homer’s Iliad, Book, xiv., 110: -<*' Andwilt thou thus desert the Trojan plain ?

The returns of the late election, now in the possession of this Committee, enable it to announce that Pennsylvania has de cided against all armistices, and attempts at peace, nhtil rebellion is broken and treason disarmed. True to its past his tory, the Keystone State arrays herself by tbe side of Ohio and Indiana, and pro claims to the .world her confidence ( in an Administration true to the Union of the States, 'and her intention to sustain that Administration' in power until the Union is restored. ,The Union party have carried the State; gained tlirce members of Congress, and elected a majority of both Houses of the Legislature, on the home vote, and the soldiers’ voters far as received indicates the gain of two more members of Congress, and a clear Union majority of fifteen thousand votes. This is a most gratifying result, and should fill the heart of every loyal man with joy. Its importance cannot be overestimated, in view of the fact that some seventeen thousand soldiers who came home last yeaf and voted for Governor Curtin are now absent with the army and are yet, to be heard from. Besides, it is computed that tinder, the last call of the President, and within tbe past few months,’twenty three thousand of our citizens have,gone forth to the field. These men ate scat-* tered over the whole country, and owing to the active operations now in progress it has been impossible for the commissioners appointed for that purpose to obtain all their votes. Thousands and thousands of votes have thus been lost to the Union party, which party can only bo depended onto feed the army with fighting material. Under these circumstances the Committee regard the victory achieved {as a grand triumph, and congratulate- the country upon it. The re-election of Mr. Lincoln is certain. In November the State will give a greatly-increased ma jority. There will be but two tickets, and party lines will be more distinctly drawn. No local jealousies or .differences will di vide our friends, and, united on the great issue, Pennsylvania will poll a vo.te for Lincoln and Johnson which will prove that she is second to none of her sister States in devotion to the Federal Govern ment.

C., papers of the 4th inst. state that a letter is hourly expected from the rebel Tice President Stephens, defining his position and viows upon the peace question now agitating the public mind of Georgia. The same paper has the loliowing remarkable state ment: “ Vice President Stephens has told gentlemen in this city that his views incline strongly to anlm mediate effort for peace by negotiation. Mr. Ste phens is represented as saying that he thought the time had come for. the people of the South to make known to those of the North, especially the peace party of that section, that they are ready to settle upon the basis of the sovereignty of the States, and to restore the old Government, should the North guarantee .the right of property, and the majority of the people so declare. “ The gentleman who furnishes the hews Is a man of high character. He saw and conversed with the Vico President, and would not be likely to misre present ; and yet there are. many who can hardly credit the story. Mr. Stephens has written a letter for publication, and the matter will soon be put at rest.” The same papers ays that “there is a powerful and growing desire In Georgia to stop the war now: Wo have no doubt of it, but we hardly expected such gentlemen-as Vlee President Stephens and Governor Brown to lend themselves in: favor of re construction upon any terms.” MOSEBY’S GUERILLAS.

"We found our hand brick maker no friend to the ; new way, and had many objections to urge against the new machines and the bricks made by them, and from all that was said we were induced to go over to the yard where this intruder In the long-established : hand process was at work. : We entered the yard, which was neatly enclosed by a white-washed board fence. and were ,attracted ' by a neat brick counting-house with the name of j. IS. Buist on the sign. Everything.bore evidence of neatness and thrift;parts were coming and going; the click of bricks being loadedinto the carts or plied under the sheds, was almost incessant. The bricks, as far as we were able to judge, were as good as any we ever saw, being smooth, straight, and of a cherry-red color. In going through the sheds where the bricks wero put to dry, we found men piling them up in hioe straight rows, and all alike, none of them half washed away with the rains, as some were In the other yards. We followed one of the returning barrows, which brought us to where the bricks were put on them as they came from the machine, to he taken dlrect’to the man who piled them up to dry. The scene that there met our eyes must be witnessed to be appreciated; It was a con stant stream of bricks coming through an aperture in the side of the building on an endless belt, and ran some fifty feet up the sheds; they reminded ns of a regfment marching, so boldly and regularly did they eome, and apparently without end. Three boys were busily engaged In taking them off the belt and putting them on harrows to be wheeled away. 1 There was more life and Inspiration in this scene than in a dozen hand-yards, and we began to sus pect that our friends had Interested motives in urg* lngso many objections to this rapid and easy way of making bricks. Sixty bricks per minute came marohlng up on that belt, and the next minute sixty more; on they came, on and on, without inter ruption and without aid. On entering the building we saw a large wheel, to which was fastened a knife which chopped off at every revolution a brick from a continuous bar Of clay, whose width and thickness was that of a brick. This continuous moving, unsevered stream of bricks issued from what resembled the muzzle of a huge cannon,-far larger than the twenty-inch Co* Xumbiad that,was exhibited at the Great Central Fair. The olayispnt In at what might be called the touCh-hole,jjhst as it domes put of the ground, with a little water, and is mixed within the great guß, and shot out at the square muzzle In a con tinuous stream. > From the ease and rapidity with which bricks are made byjthis machine, and the- few hands about it, we judge that bricks, and good ones,too, are made - with it at less than half the cost of making them by hand. We were informed that this mafehina makes over twenty-five thousand bricks per day, and that it was now making its fourth million since com mencing in Apriliast. ‘‘-We were pleased-to learn.that it was the inven tion of a fellow-townsman, Cyrus Chambers. We could not but admire the simplicity of this truly great - labor-saving .-machine; and , the . regularity and' rapidity with which it doea Its work is truly as tonishing. We went to see another of these machines that has been put up in that part of the city, In the yard of J. & S. Gillespie, where we found another one driving ahead, making most beautiful bricks, and’ carrying them more than a hundred feet from where they were made, thus saving the labor of wheeling so far to the drying sheds. We take plea surd in congratulating Mr. Chambers on the success of his great invention, and prophecy for him a rich* reward for Ms ingenuity and perseverance. We believe this to be the greatest labor-saving machine that the last quarter of a century has pro duced Tone maciiiiie doing the work of from flirty to fifty men/ We are glad that PMladelpMa can . boast of being the; birth- place of such an invention. A StrccESSFTil. ENTi:BPBisK.-~Some few years ago Mr; J. W. Price, proprietor of the well-known Dining Saloon in this city, located on the southwest comer o’f Chestnut and Fourth streets, conceived the idea that one of the manifest wants of oar great city was a first-class establishment of this charac ter. By the aid of parties who knew JK Price’s adaptedness for such an undertaking he was en abled to commence the enterprise at the above lo cation, which he has-since, by dint of indus try, good management, and,above all, a peculiar genius for his profession, canied to a triumphant success. 1 His rooms, which are now much more extensive than any similar establishment in Philadelphia, are fitted np in the heat taste for the comfort and conve nience of Ms guests, and in catering to the palates of the latter he has not departed from that most im portant rule in all business enterprises of this sort, that it is wisest and best to furnish the very best that the market affords, and charge accordingly. By adopting this rule Mr. Price has attached to his Dining Rooms a class of gentlemen of the very first respectability, and in whose company the most emi nent connoisseur in the art of 11 living weli” need have no fears of orlticism. During the several hours devoted to dining purposes each day, Mr, Price’s saloons present all the appearance of apopular in stitution, wheretldes of gentlemen, in the various professions of life; ebb and flow with a manifest air of satisfactionthatmust be exceedingly gratifying to the proprietor. - . - Thb'Tbsjhhony on Thousands.— ln'stating to our readers the fact that the best, safest, and In all respects most-reliable Sewing Machine in use, is ' the “ Grover & Baker,” sold at 730 Chestnut street, below Eighth, we are but reiterating the testimony” ' of thousands whojaow have these admirabla instru ments in use in their families, and could not he In duced to he without them'for four times their cost.
