aijc 3Mfcvsoman. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1861. THE ELECTION. Came ofTon Tuesday last, and was can vassed, with considerable animation, by the V;o,,l nC lUr Rnror.il on tifliiln tP.S. The offi ces which most engagrd public nttention were the Representative and the Associate Judges. For both of these me spirit mam fesled was about equal to that shown in any campaign of which we have recollection and the result shows hard labor and a close lv contested vote, especially on the Repre tentative question. The indications all are that Weslbrook, the Union candidate, has beaten Rowland, the choice of the secession Tinn.nnrii(v. bv a. small majority. If this iylllJWvj v j - proves to be the case it will be a glorious re Bult for a most righteous cause. It wil prove the fact, for all future time, that the Banner County of "Patent Democracy" "gallant Monroe," as the wire pullers are want to call her when they need the aid o her voters is not impregnable against the assa tilts of truth and justice; and that her people know how and mean to do right, and will do right whenever those whom they have trusted turn traitors, and try to betray her character for fairness towards her sister coun tics, and her love for the Union. Should Rowland, however, be elected, and we see nothing in the returns to indicate a rcsu so much to be deplored, the pet &nakc of the dictators, if not killed will be most horribly scotched so bad, indeed, that much of the overbearing spirit which has hitherto been a part of their tactics, will depart from them forever. In either event the result will be a victory, because in either event the leaders will be taught to pay a fraction of respect to the wishes of the people. On trust as to what will be the result we are perfectly wil ingto throw up our hat and give nine hear ty cheers and a-tiger for "gallant Monroe" and "little Pike" in particular, and f r the rattle-snake District in general. But to the result. As far as heard from the figures are as follows, by townships : Barket Not heard from. GuESTNUsniLL Rep.

Our amiable friend of tbo Mil- ford Herald takes oar notice of tbe fact that neither of the Democratic Papers oi the District eupported Rowland, in bigb dudgeon. Now wo would raider do Kill ed outright by manly opposition, than be smothered to death Dy tne iaioc praise of pretended friends; and no doubt Geo. II Rowland often thought the same tuing reading the Herald for tbo few last weeks. Keep cool, Cotter ; wo nave no . fc doubt you did the best you could, under the circumstances. We find no fault with you. fcj-The Address of the lion. George R Barret, before the Monroe County Agricultu ral Society, was able, patriotic and eloquent. He passed an encomium upon our form of go vernment, and lashed the rebels with a hea vy hand. The vocation of the agricultural ist was pronouncsd the most honorable o callings. The time was fast approaching whp.n it would be thus ranked. He showed the importance of the farmer taking at least nno MniraziriG devoted to Agriculture. That talent and education were indispensibly ne cessary in order to the highest degree of sue cess on the part of the farmer. Military Matters. Another detachment left us'on Satur day. morning last, under Capt. Geo. K Slutter, to join the Monroe Guards, now in camp at Camp Crosman, Philadelphia as part of Col. John F. Staunton's Reg't Pa. Vols. This company will very soon be full in number, and they have tbe prayers and blessings of all their friend and neighbors attending them. The en oampment is now in charge of our friend Col. Burnbam, of Carbon Co. The Co has long been known as a military man and bit connection with this regiment, as Lieut. Col., is a guarauteo to our friends in this county, that no pains will be spar ed to make tbem good soldiers, and pro vide everything necessary to their com fort. Tbo Regiment is fast filling up, and we advise all to hasten and join at once. Capt. Jos. Altcmoso is also rais ing a company for the samo regiment, and has a largo number already joined. Anotherdetaohment of Capt. Slutter's and also of Capt. Altemoso's companies will go to Camp this day. The War for the "Union. The Country is now engaged in a war greater and more important in many re spects than the war of 1812, or even the Revolution. It is a struggle for exist ence, a war for the Nation's life. Trait ors are striking at tbo Union's heart ; shall tcct so7is of Patriot sires, foTd our arms like sluggards and cowards, or shall we, in this hour of peril, fly to our Coun try's rescue and, Bboulder to shoulder, heart beating to heart, drive back the traitor hordes now threatening our Capi tol tbe city which bears the honored name of Washington, tbo Father of his country. Are we so lost to manhood that we will not heed, or so deaf to the call of duty that we will not hear the appeal for volunteers to eustain tbe Government iu this hour of direst peril ? Are we wil ling to be the slaves of Jefferscn Davis and submit to bis imperial rule ! If not, volunteer and join tbe band of patriots now fighting for tbe "Stars and Stripes" on the shores of the Potomac. To the young men of Monroe who wish to serve their country an excellent chance is now offered to cnliBt in the " Philadelphia Liht Cavalry" Regiment, now nearly full, and in camp in Philadelphia. Com pany K, the last Company, is recruiting in Stroudsburg near this office. The Regimental officers are all experi enced army officers, and iotend to make this the beat cavalry regiment in tbe PennBjlvania Volunteers.

The recent storm saerns to have had a wide extent, and to have been very de sfructivo. The Allegheny and Monon gaueia rivers were swollen to such a de greC that tbe waters at PitUbarg were od1 D,ne ,Dclje3 below tbo ffiark reached during the memorable inundation of 1852 and about three feet less than the height aUa5ned durj tbe t flood of a o ' wh,cb wfs "precedented. The depth u ier m tne cnaonei at tne coaduenoe of tbe rivora named, was, oo Saturday, when the rise ceased, thirty foot nine and land a half mobe.. The rain had poured dn 10 torre.t8 fof thirlJ ouri. Ia). mense quantities of luaibcr, orudo and sawed, were swept down the Allegheny flDd its tributaries, most of which will be entirely lost. Among the artioles that floated with tbe current were barnes, sheds, out-houses, sections of bridges, broken raft, bundles of shinglos, pine logs innsmerablc, pumpkins, and so forth, all of which indicated that great ravages had been done by thc-freehet on the. upper banks of the stream. The Agricultural Fair. The 2nd Annual Fair, which was held at tbe Fair Grounds, near this place, last week was, in many respects, a suecees, and in not one respeot a failure. The number of articles exhibited, did not, wo think, come op to the last year's Fair but the quality of those exhibited was in ferior in no respect, and greatly superior in a great many respects. The improve ment in Horses, Swine, Sheep and stock TPnornllv. showed that SOUJO COOU was fa j exerted upon those whose business leadB them to the cultivation of these branches of husbandry, while in articles of less u tility, but, perhaps, of greater present beauty we mean fancy articles we had convincing proofs that the fairer portiou of creation, "God's last best gift to man," had not been idle in the twelve-months whioh bad intervened since tbe first exhi bition The display of vegetables,- too, was meagre in Quantity, but superior in quality, while in jewelry, perfumery, tho finn nrts homo manufacture and farm implements, &o., was fully equal to any thine that aDDcared last year. It is not o t - our purpose to speak particularly of any one's articles. We presume tbe Directors will, as laBt year, publish tbc'awerds committees, when every one can see what those Bcleoted to judgo thought of tho ar tides on exhibition. Pecuniarily speaking the Second Annual Fair was a success and as the thousands preseut seemed pleased with what they saw, we take it for granted that the Fair has become one of the established institutions of the coun ty. From rautterings around we infer that the awards of the committees caused somo displeasure, and considerable disap pointment; but this must be looked for in matters of the kind. As the premium are not offered for all the articles entered for exhibition, but only for those of grea ter merit, somo must expect to miss re ceivinir the coveted prize. If it were not so thero would be no fun in the exhibition and no particular merit attached to it Tbe object of tbe Society being as much as for anything else, to create a dero a mong oar peoplo to excel in their sevcra vocations, unless awards of the commit tecs are proportioned to tho merits of the article coming under their observation the society would dwindle into a mero speculation, and fall to the ground as it would deserve to. We hope reflection will dissipate all hard feeling which has grown out of tho supposed partiality o tbe awards. We would suggest to the Directors, that in-future exhibitions tho names of the owners of artiolcs be suppressed until af ter tbe examinations and awards by the sevcraLCommittecs. Such a course would in a great measure prevent the bitterness which was so freely expressed during the reading of the awards; and take the wjud out of tbe Eails of tboso who delight to indulge iu tbeuutrueism that "o?dy certain persons can get premiums" The Latest War News. All remains quiet at and around Washington. Balloon rcconnoisaure- show that the main body of the Rebels is at Fairfax Court Hou-e. There are uo tigns of offensive movements, and it U thought that none are immediately con templated by cither side. The strength of tho Rebels is computed to bo 200,000. It is said that Johnson and Smith ore anxious for active operation, but that Beauregard 'is more cautious. We have important information by way of Washington concerning the Bermuda, whioh to recently ran the blockade and entered Savannah.- She is an iron-clad vessel of Gfteen hundred tons burden; sailing from Liverpool on tbe 13th of August, hho reached Savannah on the HHh-of September. Her cargo contain ed 18 rifled cannon of 32 and 42 pounds; 0 Lmcaster guns of 109 pounds weight; powder, Phot and shells for thi ordnaucc; 6,500 Enfield rifles,; from 200000 to 300,000 cartridges ; 6.D00 pairs of army shoes; 20,000 blankets ; ISO barrels of gun powdar ; a large qaantity of mor phine, quinine, and other medical stores. The cargo cost 81,000,000. Tho vessel is now fitting out as a pirate, to prey on the returniug California Bteamers. It is said that Commander Tottcu is to havo charge of her ; also, that two more irou c!ad steam frigates are expected at Sa vannah from England by the 15th of the present month. The latest intelligence from Gen. Prioe states that he is moving as rapidly as pos sible toward tho Arkansas Hue, and that Gen. Fremont will follow him closely, in tending to givo bim battle wherever he can find bim. We learn from Cairo that two of our gun boats, while reconnoitering down the river yeNterday, fell jn with the rebel gunboat Jeff. Davis ; they chased her to witbio two miles of Columbus; then tho battoriee of the Rebels on tbe Kentucky shore fired upon them, tho engagement lasting one hour, ho damage was done to tbo boats, whioh were, however, forced to retire, after doing apparently consider able execution on tho enemy with their guns, though to what extent it could not be ascertained. Some towns are favored in a pecuniary manner by the war. Portsmouth, N. H was never more flourishing before than if U now made by tho government works.

The opening of agencies for popular subscriptions to tbe national loan, and the hearty and patriotic responses of the ma-ses, will aark an era in our country , bistorv.

Why General Fremont could not relieve General Lyon The Evacuation of Lsx ington by the Rebels, confirmed.-- Gen. Sturgis at Kansas City. St. Louis, Oct. 4. The Democrat, of this morning, iu an article, t-hows why Gt-u. Lyon was not iciuforocd. It states that the entire for ces under Gen Fremont, on the 2nd of August, inoludiug Gen. Sigcl's command of 4,000, wan 10,315 troops, of which 12; 550 were three- ctoiiths' men. who-e term of enlistment was fast expiring, leaving an actual force of only 6,750 for the en tire department. Of this foroo Gen. Lyon had 2,320 men the balance (4439 men) being the total strength of Gen. Fremont's force. At this time Cairo, IM a Poinf anf PaJucah were mcmced by the rebel for- President bad ordered Gen. Fremont to. tako all his available toons and reinforce those poiots, for whub service only 4,126 men, including upward of UU0 St. Louis Homo Guards, could be raised. Rolla being the terminu- of the south west brauch of the Pacific Railroad, was at this time the depot of a large quantity of valuable army stores and munition, and was protected by Col. Stevenson's-MU.-ouri regiment and Col William's Thirteenth Illiuois regiment. The form er rogiment was ordered to march to Springfield, but, iu conafqueuce of the total absence of means of transportation, it could not move. Tbe Democrat's article also shows tho distribution of troops throughout tbo State at that time aud the time at which the three months' regiments were dis banded ; and. iu conclusion, says th s t af ter the battle General Frcmoot was thor oughly exonerated from blame by the vc ry"men who are now loudest in condemn ing him. Captain Read, of the Lexington -II occc Guard, and afterwards of Col. White's Fourteenth Missouri regiment, who es oaped from tbe rebel on Monday 'ast, has armed in this city. Ill confirms the report that Gen. Price's army bad evacuated Lexington. Geu. Harris's diti-ion, 6,000 strong! crossed ihc river last Saturday, and when about six miles Jrom Lexington they nset- u Union force, said to have been under Gen. Sturgis, when a battle euued. Lit tle is kuotvn of the affair, other than that Harris's force was driven buck with the loss of his transportation train aDd e- quipage. General Harris reached tho river a- bout midnight, closely followed by Gen. Sturgi, and immediately began to trans port hia men across in ferry boats, under a galling Gre of Federal musketry. Ajany of the rebels swam the river, in- thcir impatience to get across, and thev spread exaggerated reports of General Sturi s strength throughout the city. One of the ferry boats is reported to- have sunk, ancTa large number of rebels are said to have been killed and wounded. Ou Sunday morning Gen. Price began- to evacuate tho loan, and bis troops wero constantly departing uutil 6 o'clock on Monday eventug, when tho last regtment left.
