'WING to an unfortunate accident in the engine-room of Tx PRES; we are obliged to issue our edition an hour or two later than usual. We regret that some of - our sub scribers will not receive the 'paper at the usual time ; but as this is the first time in the liidtory of our journal that such an accident has occurred we believe that it will be the last. The Ctose, of the Campaign. From April 11,: 1861, when the flag of, the United States was fired upon at Sump ter, we have taken but one course - . The Republic must be maintained ; no Wm , promise must be offered to traitors; not one inch of ground, not one iota_of principle,. must be surrendered to, the rebellion; This . was and is the policy of the Administra tion; and not until VALLANOIGIIKIst moved to make the nomination. of McCLELLAN unaninious, . and placed him upon a cow ardly 'platform with PHNDLirroN his colleague, was any, formal .attempt made to change 'it. Then the nation was asked to revolutionize its creed, admit the war to be a failure and an armistice necessary. Then we redoubled our efforts to help loyal men to keep the nation true to itself and make plain to every Mind -the ruin that must' result if the principles of the Chicago Convention were made -the basis of our Government. For three years . this journal. has sustained' the men and measures of the Baltimore Convention, and we may claim that our course_ 'during the whole war has been a resolute advocacy of the only principles by which the .Union can be saved, and which the people will endorse to-morrow byre-electing ABBATE/at LINCOLN the President of the - United States., In the campaign proper, we have - done everything to put the matter plainly before the people. • " The old Greek, suddenlyr enveloped in a cloud while battling with. his his enemies, exclainied Give me to see.' " We have given the public a11.w9 could that might explain principles, declare facts; and reveal Men as they are. EverY "speech, every letter, every fact of any kind, rale ting to the great issue, has been published in our, columns. Our argument has been established wholly upon facts, and we have depended more upon the • truth we have, presented than upon the use we have made ' . of it. If any reader of THE PRESS remains unconvinced that it is hisduty to do all in • his power to re-elect 'ABRAHA. - if LINCOLN, it is not for the want of evidence and monstration. Now, when the great canvass is about to close, we can do little more. ' We leave the issue in the hands of our countrymen. By their decision the highest and the lowest in the land must peaceably abide, and if it were possible that to-morrow the eeatest evil that could now befal America should be consummated by Americans—if Meer:m.- I,ex . and PENDLETON should be elected, and the platform of *VALLANDIGE[AkShOUId be made the creed of the Republic—we should bow to the will of the people. Nor should we relax our efforts to preserve the country'; on the contrary, the very great ness of the danger should forbid any true patriot to despair. But this will not be. Our conviction in the righteousness of our cause is not stronger than our faith in its triumph. We believe that ABRAHAM lAN coi,x-will be re-elected, that the days of the rebellion are numbered, and that long be fore the end of the next Presidential term the world will see America at peace, and the Union stronger, greater, and more pros perous for the terrible danger it has sur vived. TEE great Union meeting in Indepen dence Square, on Saturday night, nobly closed the popular canvass'for the Union. - It was one more proof of the earnestness of Philadelphia, and a promise of an in creased majority . on Tuesday. TO-DAY ENDS THE CANVASS. Let it be earnestly, energetically, and successfully used. Every Union man should make sure that the . full Union voteof his precinct - will be brought out. Put your whole soul into the work. IN EVERY WARD are some men who will not vote unless they are urged—very old men, who need attention . and assistance to the polls ; sick men, who must,be taken there in carriages ; indifferent men, who want the wickedness of apathy placed clearly before their minds. Every Union man who knows of one vote': in any of these classes, will not do his whole duty unless he sees that the doubtful vote is secured. WORK FOR A UNION MAJORITY in your precinct r and you work for one in your ward. Work for your ward, and yon work for your county. Work for your county, and you work for your. State. And•. the good you do for your State is done for the whole Republic. EVERY STATE that has voted this .year • has given a Union majority. Here are. eleven States which have repeated in 1864 . the emphatic proclamation which-twenty_ made in 1863. WE 'shall not be aurpriaed if every electo ral vote of the twenty.five loyal• Mates is given to Lnworar and JOHNSON, To insure it, let the grand Union majority that con= trols the whole North reveal its strength.

With entire truthfulness is it affirmed that in some men's madness there is.method. The same may be said of their sallies of wit and humor. In their very foolishness discriminating minds discern a wisdom. not discovered in the observations of the-pro fessedly - wise. One of this class of men is AnnAnAzi larivorai. .He is a splendid spe cimen of our own unique yet noble West ent character. In him-there is, no conceal ment, no affectation, nothing conventional or assumed. He is a child of nature, not of art. Others may dissirrtulate, he never does. His methods of expression, it is true, are peculiar—often altogether out of the beaten track. To superficial minds they may at times seem objectionable but never to the discriminating and reflecting. His "jokes," as they are termed, all serve to " point a moral or adorn a tale." Sonie of them, we need not say, possess ekceeding force and appositeness. They resemble the fabled stories of LEsop, the sarcasms of Horace, the sterner invectives of 'Juvenal. The same methods of expression are'found in not a few of the writings of the sacred penmen.' They did not study elegance Of utterance so much as force. Many of their wisest sayings, to fastidious minds, might seem inelegant and abrupt, but they are all the snore• striking and-impressive. With all his "joking," therefore, there lives not in these United States a more serious man than ABRAHAM liarcoLw. - He is always terribly in earnest ; never more so than when he has to deal with the ene rides of his country—the traitor btinds that would fain drag her glory in. the dust Of this the world has had the amplest proof, and shall, doubtless, have still more in the future. An Armistice. The last great hope of the South is that IidcOLELLAN may be elected, because the rebels are certain that, once in office, he . would hasten to grant, it may be to solicit, an armistice. Their press expressly de clares that JEFFERSON DAVIS is in favor of an armistice, and sets forth the advantages which must accrue to the Eouth from it— first, tha it would raise the blockade by sea and land ; secondly, that it would per mit the reception of vast quantities of sup plies ; thirdly, that it would induce de serters to return, without fear of punish ment, and thus add 200,000 veterans to the attenuated ranks of the rebel army; and, these ends accomplished, the recruited South might break the truce and renew hostilities. These are the probable results of the armistice which G. B. illoGlEraarT is expected to give or solicit, if ever, un happily for the country, he should become President -All who vote for MCCLELLAN ShOUld know that they vote to nullify all that the eake of their own homes, and for theii Children's chil dren. Rebels even dare to menace and overawe our elections. Under the shadow 'of. this Infamy, .let the lorthern man de cide if he be willing to grant JEFFERSON DAVIS and his Janissary robbers and -as sassins their.oWn terms ? IT is not enough to cast your own votes. You must see that your friends are early ut the polls. " • • HON.•. CHARLES SUMNER made a noble appeal•to t 4, people of New York, at the grand Union meeting, Saturday night. At the close of it - he said : "If there was on this continent any naturalldi viding line in itself at once a barrier and an altar, any Immense Chinese wall bulltfor a century and ex tending for fifteen hundred miles across the .conti, nent, then I know not but there might be a division of the countries. But, nature, by irreversible laws; has fixed it otherivise. Nature and history, by laws which man will be Impotent to reverse, have solemnly ad judged that this continent, from the lakes to the Gulf,.of Mexico, shall be dedicated 'to one country,• with one liberty, one constitution, and one destiny. [Applause.] This coming election is the battlefield of the war and victory; there will be victory every where.

Goldwin Smith on the War. PrOfeSSOT GOLDWIN SMITH is -Wlitillk letters to the DailY News, one of the few English journals •in favor of our Union, which are exceedingly different, in tone and terms, from the "special' correspon dence of Dr. MACKAY in the Times, and Mr. G. A. SALA in the Daily Telegraph. He says that, after.visiting the Northern and Western States, no one can doubt that the war is national, and not merely carried on by the Government alone--that he'saW evidence of, this every where—that feelings of atrocity are held towards the South,- .but _a strong determination to make it submit to the law, and that the kind treatment of the Confederate prisoners is a proof of - the humanity with which the UniOnists carry on the war. Ue concludes thus: " I have been in the States only a month, and perhaps I.am not an unbiassed observer ; but my strong conviction is, that beneath the frothy surface of part3r polities (never very august in any country), and the shoddy luxury of New York, lies a great nation, meeting the extremity of peril with courage, self : devotion, passionate attachment to its country, and unshaken confidence in its own power." The Festival in Heuer of illiam Callen Bryant. CELEBRATION' BY THE CENTURY CLUB - OF NEW The heralded celebration of the Seventieth Birth- - day of the poet Bryant took place at the Century Club, in NeW York, on Saturday evening last, the sth of November—one latter day of that beautiful decline in nature which Bryant's autumnal, ma jestic, muse - has described with grave pathos. But Bryant himself has not declined; with an old head,--he walks with a youthful step; his muse is'quiet, as has lieen her wont, bat is still livlng.in We cheerful cloister - of a heart undesayed; the sanctum of the journalist still feels his improv log presence`; the political mind of the country has not lost his inspiration, and the life of Ameri can poetry still exhales that grave breath Which the reverend thought of Bryant first drew from the .„ WltY.Vrtlegi of anew and virgin Nature. This vene rable man hasreached the winter of life, but there is no blight in his firm and noble countenance and his bright and kindly eye; and the poet may still sing from amid his white-haired and bearded snows that song of winter content and live-long vigor which makes younger men younger to hear. At seventy years of well-spent life, he enjoys a tribute of afros tionate respect rare in the _biographies of literary men. Prophets have not usually , been honored in their own countries, or poets in their lives ; but Mr. Bryant, whose muse is at once prophetic, and poetic, is a singalar exception to the rule. Cooper, Pauld ing; and other cotemporaries of this veteran writer, hive passed away with that green festival day miss ing in their lives which has been filled up In Bryant's. , We can barely exoept Washington Irving, so gene rally beloved -by his fellow-scholars, but all that was the fortune of Washington Irving's serene elder_ life, "And that.which should accompapy old ago, 46 honor, /ove, obedience, troops of friends. is 'now the property of Bryant. Years after Brainerd and -Pereival, young and kindred singers with Bryant ; "Leggett, his comrade in journalism and, song, and others of his• former cotemporaries in literature have gone to their graves, and the line of our earlier litera ture has been traced on the green turf; while Dana, Vvho wrote "The Buccaneer," writes no more; while the harp that rang to Marco Bozzaris" is silent and idle, and Willis is no more a poet of the hour; while Plerpont's vigorous and venerable mind, thOugh alive to Freedom, is almost 'lost to Song= Bryant survives, a, true citizen of the hour, as vs ell as a hero of the past, fit to honor when we celebrate American literature and American freedopa; it was the journalist as well as the poet, and,more than all, the man and the eXample, that were so affectionatelycelebrated on Bryant's birthday. The festival to the pioneer and father, poet ; of America was conceived and prepared by the Con- Wry Club of New York—an association which in eludes most- all of the prominent artists, poets, litterateurB, and connoisseurs of - New York. Astor, the millionaire ;:Adam Badeau, the critic; Edwin Booth, the tragedian ,• Bierstadt and Church, the painters of the Rocky Mountains and the Andes ; Henry Kirk Brown and Launt Thompson, the Sculptors; Frederick Cozzens, the humorist, - and George 'Wm. Curtis, of "Potiphar " and " How adji" memory; Christopher °ranch, familiar in art, poetry, and music ; Regis Gignottx, the bold and able painter of many fine landscapes; Felix 0. C. Dariey, a creator in, art whore sketches are known the world over ; Kensett, Croprey, and Gifford, favorite names in the art of New York; Louts° and Lang, the historical painters ; Durand and Huntingdon, presidents of the Art Academy; the Fields—Cyrus, David,. and Dudley—all prominent men ; Hazel tine, Gray, and Hicks, the artists.; John Jay and Pierre Irving, both very recognizable names; McEntee, one of the most descripiive and poetical of the New York painters; Francis Lieber, Curtis Noyes, Charles O'Connor, and Sa muel Osgood, Well known as publicists, lawyers, or Utast' ; Gulian C. Verplanck, the Shaksperean seholar r andliteTresident of the " Century;" Hop pin, the illustrator, and Richard Stern Willis, the musical brother of the poet-these are a few of the large membership of the Century Club. Certainly, there was nothing wanting in the composition of the Feast to make it worthy in respect of variety and eignificance of one so widely a representative.or patron of literature, art, and politics, as the poet journalist, Bryant. - The rooms of the Century afforded a rich hospi tality to the hundreds who did honor to Bryant on Saturday evening. The itrtist-hands of LOUIE; Lang, Gifford,"and Hoppin had been at worlcin the recep tion-room, and the panelled and frescoed walls, wreathed, flowered and curtained, offered a feast of color. Bryant's name was lettered in a harp of im mortelles; the bust of the poet was crowned with laurel; and the following welFselebted verses from his poems, exquisitely wreathed with green and flow ers, were written in letters of gold upon the walls: Truth crushed to earth shall rise again— The eternal years of God are hers; But Error, wounded, Writhes in pain, And dies amid her worshippers. His love of truth, too warm, too strong For Hope or Fear to chain or chill, His hate of Tyranny and wrong, Burn in the breasts he kindled, still. Let the mimic canvas show • His calm, benevolent features ; let the light Stream o'er his deeds of love, thatskunned the sight Of. all but Heaven ; and in the book of fame The gloilous record of his virtues write, . • • And hold It up to men, and bid them claim A palm like his, and catch from him the hallowed flame. Wisely my son, while yet thy days are long, And this fair change of seasons passes slow, Gather and treasure up the good they yield— All that they teach of virtue, of pure thought, And kind affections, reverence for thy God,. And for thy brethren. For-thou hut taught us with delighted eye To gaze upon the mountains—to behold With deep affection the pure, ample sky, And clouds along its blue abysses roiled— To love the song o 6 waters, and to hear The melody of winds with charmdd ear. In such a bright, late quiet would that I Might wear out life like thee, 'mid bowers and brooks, • - And dearer yet, the sunshine of kind looks, • And music of kind voices ever nigh. Still came and lingered on thy eight Of Rowers and atreams•the bloom and light And -glory of the stars and sun ; And these and poetry are one. Dreary are the years when the eye can look no —longer With delight on nature or hope in humankind; Yet may those that whiten 'ray temples as they pass me • Leave the heart unfrozen, and spare the cheerful mind. The secret wouldet thou know To touch - the heart or fire the blood at will, Let thine own eyes o'erflow, Let thy lips quiver with a passionate thrill, Seize the great thought ere yet its power be past, Andlhind in words the fleet emotion fast. Well has Nature kept the truth She promised to thy earliest youth ; The radiant beauty shed abroad. . c On all the glorious works of God, Shows freshly to thy sobered eye Eaoh charm It wore in days gone by. Thus, Bryant'a verse was made to speak his praise in words as beautiful as flowers. When the poet entered the rich chamber, crowded with the beauty, talent, and distinction of the best social circles of New York, he was rapturously greeted by his friends. The great philosopher-poet, Emerson, as native to America as the Adirondacs ; Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, a fair-faced, thoughtful poetess, of Boston,; Oliver Wendell Holmes, the- bright-eyed, compact r witty Doctor ; George H, Boker and Bay ard Taylor, representatives of the progressive litera ture of Pennsylvania—were among the invited guests who were able to attend, and were the assist ing priests of the festival ceremonies. The Hon. George H. Bancroft, president of the Century (laurelled historian and kindly gentleman), gave a heart full of greeting to the poet on behalf of his celebrants. It was a touching eulogy—the white-haired historian 'Congratulating the venerable poet on his years. How Bryant had lived a life above reproach, and high in the respect of all— how, amid all the rancors and ambitions of active public life, his name was unblamed and unblemistr ed—how the future of great centuries beyond would turn to Bryant's pages to admire the early and vir gin loveliness of the American muse—all this we wish could be told as Bancroft told it. "Live on, my dear Bryant," said the old historian, placing the hand of a brother on the shoulder of the poet--; "live on,that you may see the trimuph of that freedom for which you have striven—live on that you may hear the praise of your children's children's child ren." Mr. Bryant's modest and grateful response turned applause into humor, as the poet made grave drollery of his old age. Lear said that " Old age Is unnecessary ;" Johnson, that " superfluous lags the veteran on the stage ,' and Shakspere again— " The good die young; And we, whose hearts are dry as summer's dust, Burn to the socket." Then came the amusing picture of a condition of things. in a world made up of old men altogether, drawn with ; the gentle humor of Irving. At the close of IVlreßryant's speech a choir sang the fol lowing Birthday °haunt, by Bayard Taylor, to excellent music by Louis Lang, the artist :. One hour be silent, sounds of war! Delay the battle he foretold, And let the bard's triumphant star Pour down from heaven its mildest gold.' Let Fame, that plucks but laurel new For loyal heroes, turn away And twine, to crown her poet's brow, The greener garland of the bay. • Foi he, our earliest minstrel, fills The land with echoes, sweet and long, Gives language to her silent hills, And bids her rivers move to song. The PitoSpas of the Nation's dawn, Sole-risen above oar toneless coast, As_llesper, now, his lamp burns oa-- The leader of the starry host, THE PRESS.--PITILADELPHIA, NIONOAir, NOVEMBEIi, 7, 1864. Following this graceful lyric, rho Characteristic face of Ralph:Waldo Emerson rose Into rellef-.7that remarkable countenance, ao suggestive of the wis. dom of the serpent and the harmlessness of the dove. What Emerson said of Bryant, all literary Leaders will be curious to hoar. In brief, he praised him as a source and cause of poetry, and truly patriotic poet. While some of the 'younger poets of our day have seen pictures of mountains, Bryant has seen the mountains themselves, and travelled them staff in hand. But arr. Emerson epitomized his tribute, and Indeed all eloquence In praise of the poet, by quoting liloore's lines in memory of the poet Crabbe, which he truly described as the best Moore has written The artist, Daniel Huntingdon, then presented to Mr. - Bryant the, magnificent album of forty sketches, contributed by the artists of the Century. Mrs. Julia- Ward Howe, Mr. George H. Boker l our own gifted townsman, and Oliver Wendel' Holmes followed with elrquent poems in honor of the pcet.patriarch. These will re-appear in the memorial of the Poet's Birthday to be pub lished by the Century Club. Among the guests at the festival were Major General Nathaniel P. Banks, Captain Worden, the naval hero, and other men eminent in politics and in the army. Though the celebration was a private one, the number of distinguished men who assisted in its honors, and the great worth and exalted name of Bryant, make its record one of national interest to all who love American Song as they love American Freedom. Bryant was doubly honored in his character of pout and journalist. May the . true bard live long NEW FRAUDS IN THE ARMY VOTE. A COUNTERFEIT PENNSYLVANIA ELEC. A DOUBLE POLL-11 FOR COPPERHEAD .

But in twelve of these States, California, Con neotient, Illinois, Indiana, lowa, Blaine, Massachu _setts,. Michigan, New Hampshire, Oldo, Vermont, and Wishonsin, the strongeit candidate opposed to Mr..LlnCOln was Douglas. Now, two-ttards of tile Douglatvote has been given to Lincoln in 1863-4. In Pennsylvania the Fusion ticket makes It Inifossible to give the full vote for. Douglas; 16,765 Were cast dire oily for "him, and of the Fusion votes the majority were not for Break: inridge. The Douglas Democrats of Pennsylvania have, since 1860, carried the State for Lincoln and Curtin in all important elections. . 3. In four States, Kentucky, Maryland, Massa chusetts, Missouri, Bell polled a heavy vote. At least one-lialfof it will now be given to Lincoln. A WORD OF COMMitif T. Ignoring the fact that the war has destroyed the old party lines, the New York Herald takes 'the table of 1860, above printed, and argues that 'the united votes for the Breokinrldge, Douglas, and Bell tickets show a popular majority of 103,623 against Lincoln. Nothing could be more absurd than this calculation. True, the united votes of the three tickets exceed the votes for the Lincoln ticket by 103,623,. but this majority was not east against any one ]pan. The Douglas men Doted against Breckinridge more than against Lincoln. .The Bell men voted as much against Breckinridge as against Lincoln. The Breckinridge men voted solid against all three of the other candidates. Thousands of men who then voted for Douglas, declared that, If he were not In the field, they would support Lincoln. The admitted fact that the Douglas party bitterly hated the Breckinridge faction, and sympathized far more with the Lincoln party, shows how greatly the Herald has perverted arith metic in adding up 'the votes of three rival parties, and casting rent as a unit against the fourth. INPOETANT ELECTIONS SINCE 1860. The Presidential vote in the loyal States in 1860 is not, however, a fair basis by which to estimate the Presidential vote of 1804. The rebellion revolu tionized politics in the North, Hundreds of thou sands who voted'against Lincoln then, sustain him now. Thousands of leading men who opposed his election, now support his Administration, and de clare the importance of maintaining, it in power. Almost every Douglas Democrat obeys the dying request of his leader, and stands by the Govern ment, irrespective of former party ties. This com plete reorganization of parties has changed the po• litical character. of every -State, and it is therefore necesaary to' base our calculations for the Prost 'llential election of 1864 upon the vote for State officers. * doing this, we select those elections-in' which the lades of this canvass were involved, and give, as far as possible, the State elections of 1864. We publish first the majorities in 1863, forin many States no important elections have been held this year. The political condition which the following table shows, has been changed materially, but all the changes are in favor of the Union ticket TABLE OS MAJOBITIBB IN 1883. Date. Union.'

Gilmore was elected by the Le gislature. This is a case which shows that the elec tions of 7863 do not thoroughly show the present cal status,for Gilmore was re-elected this year by about six thousand majority. 8 In 1562 Oregon gave between three and four thou sand Union majority for Governor. MAJORITIES IN 1864. The nearer we can come to this Presidential eleo - in repotting State votes, the firmer is our ha sis of calculation. Fortunately, no less than eleven States have voted on the great issues of this canvass in 11364. These are Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Oregon, Cali fornia, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Maryland, Ohio. Every one of them hoe gane" - decisively for the Union. The 'following are official majorities : Union. Opp. Vermont 19,355 New Hampshire 5,398 , Maine 15,913 Connecticut .. 5,488 Rhode. Island 1,533 Oregon 2,763 In Rhode Island - the straight Union ticket had 3,835; against 7,302 War Democrat. But it is to be noted that an Independent Union ticket was run, which polled 1,329 votes. In round numbers the following Stabs gave ma jorities : Union. Opp. California 19,000 Pennsylvania 16,000 Ohio.r.• 76,000 Indiaiia / —.20,000 Miry/land .376 _ Here are figures for those that love them. Eleven States voting this year give Union majorities so large: that no Opposition efforts can possibly over- Come - lhem. The Copperhead falsehood that any underhand measures _are needed to carry those States for Lincoln is plain, for if any party needs cheating to help it, It Is the Opposition. All the figures are dead against its hopes. THE ELECTORAL VOTE. 2. There are some. differences In the electoral votes of 1860 and 1864 which must be considered.

But for the sake of demon stration we can afibrd to concede him the electoral votes of New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Missouri. He would then have but 107. In conoluslon, we find that to state the matter broadlyo and without exaggeration,the Union party, since 1802, has controlled twenty States, giving an aggregate of 186 eleetoral votes. We find that the Opposition can, with any plausibility, claim success in but 5 States, New Jersey, Delaware, Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois. Thus a oftiouration, based on .egures alone, assures us of triumph. We need - not here go further. It is foreign to our present purpose tepOint, out that the platform of the Chicago Conven tion, the nomination of Pendleton, the.association of McClellan with Vallandigham, Wood, Seymour, the independent coarse of the Cincinnati Cimven ttien, the approval of McClellan's nomination by the rebels, the support he has Mid from our one. -mks in gurope, the comparison of the recent victo ries of Grant, Sheridan, and Sherman, with his failures, his own .vacillating political course, are facts which have disorganized his party. But these facts will have an influence on the vote In every State, and no man can say how far they will in crease the majority for Lincoln and Johnson, and consolidate t h e Unionism of the twenty-five loyal States. .

ALARMING DESIGNS OF THE CONS PIRATORS. lenierucroms, Nov, 4.—Horace Heffern, Deputy Grand Commander of the Order of the Sons of Lt• berty-in Indiana, who for some week's has been on trial here for Participation in a treasonable conspi racy, to-day turned State's evidence, and made a startlipg .. renlation of the schemes of the order. Ho said that nobody litit 'Democrats had been ad mitted into the Order, or would be if they applied. He confirmed the previous evidence of the mili tary organization of the Order, and of the appoint ment of a major general to command it. Dr. Bowles, one of :the accused, was commander-in chief, with a staff, of which Dr. James B. Wilson, recently arrested, was adjutant general. He Sag! that a committee of thirteen was appoint ed to prepare for an insurrection, and that the in surrection was intended to release the rebel pri- soners in the Northwest, arm them' from the Go- Vernment arsenals, overthrow the State Govern' meat, kill Governor Morton, or hold him as a hostage for captured instirrectionists, and then form the Northwest into a separate confederacy. He said he was told by Adjutant General Wilson, of Bowles' staff, that $500,000 had been sent by the rebel agents in Canada into the Northwest, to pur chase arms for the Order, and that 8200,000 had been left in Indiana, in the hands of Dodd and John C. Walker, State agents. Wilson showed Heffern si,ooo he".received from Bowles to buy arms in Washington county. ' Heffern further swore that the committee of thir teen had appointed ten men to kill Governor Mor ton, and a few days since the Governor received a letter, signed by one of the men, declaring that the writer and his associates were sworn to kill him, and would do it. Heffern's revelations astounded the court, though prepared by the previous evidence for part of it. If Governor Morton was killed, Dr- Athon, Secretary of State and member of the Order, was to take his place, as provided by law, in case of the deata or disability of the Governor and Lieu tenant Governor. . Collision in Trenton between a Railroad Train. and 'lce'Cann Procesidon. Naw Yousr. Nov. s.—The Washington through mail train, which started from Jersey City at half past seven o'clock lastnight, encountered a McClel lan procession on the track of the road in Trenton, and a serious collision occurred. The procession was marching across the track, when the locomo tive.atruck a wagon containing a boat with thirty six young women onboard, and threw them all Into - the atreet. * The men in the procession, enraged at this accident, immediately attacked the engine and drove the train back to the depot. There was groat excitement. The particulars are substantially as follows: It appears that the train, which reached Trenton at the usual hour, passed on its way through the city, and when a hundred yards from the Delaware bridge came near the procession. The speed of the train had slackened in order to run over the bridge at the.ordinary low rate, and the engineer kept on his way, with his bell ringing and his steam whistle sounding. The procession also marched on, when the engine struck a wagon on which the boat was carried. When it became evident that a collision must occur an effort was made to stop the engine, but it struck the hind wheels of the wagon, carrying, the •end of the vehicle about twenty feet,: and upsetting the boat and the ladles. Fortunately, none of them were killed, and none, we hear, seriously injured, though it is reported that a man's leg . as broken. The excitement at the time was fearful. Several hundred men had gathered round the engine, which had stopped. The engineer and fireman fled for their lives, and escaped in the confusion. The mob became infuriated, and attempted to de stroy the locomotive, not being able to find the en gineer, on whom they desired to wreak their ven geance. , They threw stones at the engine, breaking the reflector, and injuring it in other respects, but failed to break it. They crowded themselves on it and on the cars, and managed to run the train back to the depot. Afterward another engine was procured, and its engineer, who was knoWn to be friendly to the crowd, attempted to take the train, on its way; but the mob threatened him, and he was not permitted to proceed. Fearing that the track would be do. stroyed, or the bridge burned, the attempt to go forward was abandoned. Subsequently, whoa the train had been delayed more than an hour, some of the leadeis of the pro. cession were conciliated. These men rode on the engine, declaring to the crowd that it was "all right," and so the train was' taken out of Trenton. Terrible Banns" Accident at Callicoon, 'New York.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.--Information from the Army of the Potomac, up to yesterday morning, is to the effect that military matters remain un changed.. Not an item is to be had along the lines, excepting the occasional arrival of a deserter from the enemy with the stereotyped story of hunger, etc. If the accounts from. them are true as to the great number whoa desire to come into our lines, there never was a better opportunity for them to do so than at present.. Picket firing has almost ceased, and the nights are dark, just such as deserters would be supposed to desire ; but the coming tido our lines of a few only does not go far to prove the truth of such assertions. Two deserters were to have been shot on Friday but the execution of the sentence was postponed by order of the Government. Their names are Samuel J. Smith, 68th P. V., and private Rock, 15th N. Y. Engineers. A large nuMber of furlouglus, particularly to*men in the hospitals, wore granted during the week, and the boats leaving City Point were crowded. Yes- - terday morning three hundred passengers were left behind, there not being room for them on the mail boat. Among the rumors brought by passengers are the following; That General Hancock resigns command of the 2d Corps, to , assume that of a department; that General Park will take charge of the 2d Corps, while General Gibbons will be assigned to the Bth Corps. It is also said that Major General Ham- phries is to have a corps. A few days will, however, show whether or not these reports are correct.

The gunboat Undine, captured at Fort Herman, Tenn.; as previously reported, fought the enemy six hours before Surrendering. She had six men killed, and eight wounded, three of them mortally. Among the 'wounded was Captain Bryant. Her armament consisted of eight 2.l.pound howitzers. She sunk with her bow lying on the river bank, bat it is since reported that the rebels plugged up the holes in her hull, and are using her,as a gunboat. The rebels at Fort Herman are reported to be 12,at0 strong, with 16 guns. The transports Venus and Chaseman were cap tured the same day as the Undlne. The pilot of the former reports. that she was riddled by shell and musketry. Captain Allen and most of her crew were killed, together with 15 'soldiers, who were on boaid. The Chessman coming up just after wards, had her steampipe burst by a shell, when she was run ashore, but at the last accounts the rebels had not destroyed her. The rebels have thirteen batteries within a mile above and below Fort Herman. Fourteen of the crew of the tlndine are reported to have been killed after their surrender.

Mr. Harper was a Union man. This was the only excuse the outlaws had for the perpetration of the inhuman outrage. It does seem that this Sue Monday is lost to every womanly instinct, her heart wholly cor rupted, and her nature fiendish, for she rejoices in acts of cold blood and every species of crime. cat Wednesday four guerillas, captured in Hen• tacky, were sent by order of General Burbridge, from the prison at Wilmington, under guard of a file of soldiers, to Mr. Harper's residence, near Mid way, and their shot to death in retaliation for the murder committed on Tuesday. We have not been furnished with the names of the men who were shot. On the night of October 31 anothe raid was made on the little village .of Almsville, on the Memphis Branch Railroad, between Russelville and Clarks ville. The guerilla- band numbered fifty men, and the several stores of the place were robbed of goods valued at $12,000. On Wednesday afternoon. twenty-five guerillas made a dash into Rocky Hill station / on the Nashville Railroad. There were two sleeping cars on the track, in one of which was an , old , negro *to had both legs broken. They ordered him to get out; but as ho could not move quick enough for them they shot him, set Jiro to the cars, and burned them with the old nogro. They met William Fox, a pl.'. vats of thereth Kentucky Regiment, and after rob bing him shot him. , Lieutenant Colonel Hammond has been appointed a brigadier general. !PIGS AND WOUNDED SOLDIERS GOING EOM?.

This number will keep the court martial In session here busy for some In the fight which Moseby had on Sunday last, near Addle, with a portion of the mon of the Eith Illinois Cavalry, he lost seven men killed, several wounded, and some fifteen who were taken prisoners. This comes from a source which has always proved correct, and _therefore is entitled to the strictest. credit. On Sunday night last some six or eight outlaws, who are styled Partisans , ' by the rebel authorities, proceeded - to the house of an old man, residing about 84 miles south of Burke's Station, named Yelbar ton, and took possession of his premises In the name of the 'United. States. Several of the party being in the uniform of the United States soldiers, they said they wore autho rized to search the house, and at once proceeded to ransack it for booty. Upon a remonstrance being entered by the old man, he was summarily knocked down, and his wife, quite an aged woman, severely abused and maltreated. The ruffians succeeded in finding two hundred and 'fifty dollars in money. They took all the clothes they could lay hands upon, even to the old man's coat and boots. The money was the hard-earned savings of several years' industry, and the loss of it, with the clothing, bidding, blankets, &c.; leaves the aged pair in a truly destitute condition. Yesterday the aged couple came to the city, and permission was given them to carry out supplies. They had not been gone long ere the Secesh raised a cry that they were smug gling goods to the rebels. A reserve was sent out, who overhauled them, and found they had about one-half the goods their permit called for. Of course, they were allowed to proceed. LATE REBEL NEWS.
