OrAt the recent election held in Phila
phiaon the 8th of October Inst, the joint vote
cost in the city for the two candidates for

Sheriff was 60.83S. In IVew iorit, at me e

cast for two candidates for Sheriff was 60,

Congress.
Congress will assemble in regular session
Mnnnv next. As the business of the
Ull . . -j
session will be almo.-t exclusively of that
character having a bearing on the war, it is
not expected that the session will be a long
one. It is rumored that the Secretaries wil
all have their reports, with bills to correspond
with their recommendations, ready to place
in the hands of the respective committees, as
soon as both houses are organized, and as their
measures have been generally antic:pated
there will be no need of delay in the transac
linn nf hiiKinoss. The President's message
will be looked for with interest, and will pro
bably be sent to Congress on Tuesday.
The Biggest Beet Yet.
The enpsheaf was put on all the big beets
by one which our friend Fred. Phillips left
on our table since our last issue. This mon
ster, which is also of the radish species.weigh
ed nine pounds plump. It was raised in Mr.
Phillips garden, in the lower end of the bo
rouffh. and we think will stand at the head
of the heap. However, if any of our readers
think they can beat it, they can just send the
monster along. A little emulative spirit in
the matter of big turnips, big-cabbages, big
turkeys, big chickens, and big everything
else edible, would furnish a pleasant variety
to our stock of pood things. Who will start
first on the new tack.
Well done for the Eoys.
We are glad to find that our boys, at
tached to Capt Keller's Company, 4th Reg.
P. R. V., are not unmindful of those they
left behind. Last week they sent by express.
to their relatives and friends, S656 25. We
know that, in addition to this, quite a large
sum, in the aggregate, reached here through
the mail. The sum of 41, to defray the
expense of transportation of their deceased
fellow soldier, Britten Miller, was also most
cheerfully contributed by them. Great cred
it is due to the brave boys, that amid the
laLars, the cares, the excitements, and tl
temptations of camp life, they still remember
home and home associations, and that they
still feel themselves to be fathers, husbands,
sons and brothers. God bless them : and
may every man of them come home, honored
with the faithful performance of his duty to
himself and country.
DIED.
In Hospital, neaT Camp Pierpfont, Va., on
the 3()'.h inst., of Typhoid Fever, Britten
Miller, a member of Co. F, 4lh Reg., P. R.
V., Capt. G. B. KelJer commanding, aged 19
years and 15 days.
The deceased, a natireof Stroudsburg, was
the son of Mark Miller, and the grandson of
Petit B. Primruse, Esq., of Stroud township.
On the breaking out of the war, he was a
niong the first of those who voluntered from
this section of country to march in defense
of the Union and the Government. Though
young in years he had, by his uniform good
ness of heart, and exemplary conduct, won
many friends of all ages; and on the receipt
of the news of his death gray hairs and those
of a hue which betokened earlier years, bow
ed together in sadness and morning. Thati
he was so Eoon cut off- just as he was about
etepping on the stage of usefulness will be
sincerely regretted by all who knew him.
His memory will be cherished so long as
childhood's memories remain to those who
f -
were nis associates, it is a cause oi conso
lation to the living to know that he died in
the service of his country, surrounded by
friends who ministered to his comfort, and
that his last moments were moments of peace.
In the language of an esteemed correspond
ent, who was with him in his last moments
"he died happy." His remains, which
were sent home by his fellow-soldiers, were
received here on Monday last, and were at
tended to the last sad resting place of mor
tals by a large concourse of mourning reta
tives and friends.
HJThere were 216 deaths in Phila
delphia, in the week ending on Saturday
last, of which 119 were adults, and 99
were children. There were 40 deaths
from consumption of the lungs; 6 from
debility; 7 from disease of the heart; 8
from dropsy; 11 from scarlet fever; 3
from typhoid fever; 14 from inflammation
of the luox's; 5 from tnara?mas, and 8
from small-pox.

Washington, Nov. 24, 1861.
The week has been one of unusual m
fornKi. in VB8hincton, and though no for

ble progress ba been made. But the
nnnsciou-nesB of tbis has been conveyed
rather through the mnjeotio pageant of
the late review than by any snow oi ac
celerated preparation. The conGdenoe
sinrfl that display is universal that we
t rmt?. anA ra hear no more of
the petulant impatience wbicb has been
clamoring so long for an onward, aggres
UUYC UU DIUiH v. n '
sive march. The masterly manner in
which tbo vounecommander in ehiefgath
cred up tbe fragments of tbe July battle,
. a r a
and made tbero tbe nucleus ot the present
-dendid host, has captured the last mind
fn the conviction that he in a master of
his bu-inesH, and that the military for
tunes of the country may be safely in
trusted to his oare. The inquiry, there-
a a
fore, of "when he intend? to movo is
mufti lnss frenuentlv beard than it wa
two months ago. and the cxpresion which
in the new state of public satisfaction.
seems moat largely to have eupplied it
place is, that "when be does move he will
weep everything before bim.
Though nobody pretends to know Mo
Clellan s plans, the impression is very
general that ho intends to drive forward
at Manassas, and having thrown outpow
erful corps d'armce on either flank, to
move upon the centre, or very apex of the
frownini? triangle, witb compact mobile
n n
columns. These are to moceed one an
other with rpidity and freshness, each in
turn falling off and gimg place to its
successor as soon as the tempests of it
energies begins to flag. Blow after blow
of this character, each einitin with the
quick hardiness of refined steel, and all
delivered, and incessantly kept up upon
the same shuddering point, mustnecesa
rilv Denetrato its object; and the triangle
once entered by our bayonets, tbe frae
ture will be sure to extend to tbe base of
the position. Tbi accomplished tbp re
mainder of the picture oan be seen. The
"short and bitter" phrase of tbe situation
will be verified, and the rebellion perhaps
be virtually over before the next year is
six weeks old. It is always the policy of
a general, who has superior ftfrces, to find
his enemy where he is in greatest num
ber, so that his blow may be wholesale
and utterly destructive; and McClellan is
statesman enough to know tbe importnnce
to a nations pride aDd prestige, of wiping
out the recollection of a loss on the very
spot where it was endured. Moral effects
are as valuable to a people as physical
-uccesscs. and the boastful rebels, who
are to depend again upon tbe favorable
positions of tbe 18th and 21st of July
must be made to bate the very sound of
Bull Run and ManasBas. There are ma
ny timid patriot, however, who look with
doubt and uncertainty in thnt direction,
and who, mindful of tnc vact resources of
that terrible triangle, fear that we cannot
force it, and that all tbe power which we
can deliver there will come back broken
and shattered like tbe first But they do
not sufficiently deliberale the contract-
The army of McDowell, thoutrb compose
of gallant men, was in reality but littl
better than a military 'mob. They were
not skillfully marshalled to tbe fight, and
througn lack of concert, had to depend
upon mere desultory valor On the oth

not only skilled in discipline and tho
roughly inured, but they are reliant on
tboir chief, and they know, too, when
they strike Manassas, exactly the nature
of tbe job. If their commander, follow
ing tbe tactics of Nelson and Napoleon
direots tbera to pierce tbe center, the at
tacking column will not bo kept for hours
tugging, czbausted at a single point, but
having discharged its rage and energy, it
will pass aside, and be humored with re

Nothing is invulnerable to due application

As to the time when, it is almost as
bard to fix the date of movement as it
was a month aRo. There certainly is
much tbat is yet to be done before Mc
Clellan will besaticfied to move. Tbe

patieot manner in which the General has
oonduoted these field examitions, even
from tbe day be be8D the organization
of brigades, that he intends to be tho
rough with tbem all. That, in short, he
designs, most likely, to give ever? corns

THE LATEST WAR NEWS.
Capt. Bell, with a detachment of infant

reconnoissance between Vienna and Hun
tor's FI ill ; ho was attached by tho enemy
in ambuscado on both sides of tbe road.
A sharp skirmish ensued, and our troops
were forced to retire. Word of this af
fair reaching Gen. Porter, be sent large
re-enforcemants to Capt. Bell; but before
these coul.d reach bim the enemy bad at
tacked him again. Shots were exchanged
and tbe Rebel commander fell from his
horse, which came within our lines and
was taken. Our loss in killed and miss
ing is considerable, but tbe full particu
lars of the affair havo not reached us.
A renortcomcs from Beaufort to the
a
effect that thrco companies of the Union
troops had met a force of tbe Rebel, and
bad brcn forced to retire after some
harp fighting. We do not believe the
rumor; it probably rests on no foundation.
Tho Wheeling Intelligencer states that
Gen. lleyuold'a command is divided for
service in other quarters of the country.
Several Ohio regiments are on tboir way

ers are expected soon to march for Gen.
Kelly's headquarters as Romney, in con
nection with tbe forco there to commence
a forward movement in concert with an
expected advance of tbe army of the Po

Rumor says that Geo. John C. Breck
inridge, with a large force, is advancing
from Green River, Kentucky, in tbe di
rection of Owensboro or Henderson be
tween 150 and 200 miles down the Ohio
River from Louisville. The rumor is not
believed at the latter place.

SERENADING SONG.
BY PHOTO.
Wake, lady, wake, for brigthly is beaming
Yon orb of the night, and tiny stars gleam
ing.
The night winds are sighing o'ei earth and
o'er sea
Bearing gladness and joy in their melody,
I'll sing thee of rivers that dance 'neath the"
sun
I'll sing thee of flowersjthou loveliest one
I'll sing thee of birds warbling gaily and free
As blithely their sweet notes floatover the
lea.
Awake from thy dreaming, awake and behold
The bright moon, and stars in numbers untold;
The night winds are sighing their sweet songs
for thee,
And bear them along as the waves of the sea'.
Nature with moonlight and music is leemino-
The breeze lightly stirring seems joyous
and clear ;
And happy art thou in thy gladsome dream
ing, I would that thy waking as bright may ap
pear. In joy may thy hours glide on happy maiderr
And thy bark smoothly sail o'er life's trou
bled wave
With joy and with hope, forever be laden,
Bearing thee gladly on, e'en to the dark
grave.
Awake from thy dreaming awake and bc
holJ, The bright moon, and stars in numbers untold;.
The night winds are sighing their sweet songs
for thee,
And bear them along as the waves of the sea.
