The resnlt of the election on Taenia, though not yet positively ascertoined, In all its detail, shows that lbs ticket of the Breck inridge cliqne is elected, with the exception, most probably, of tbe cabdidale for Register and Recorder. Dr. Masser, tha Uino can didate, runs pretty BeaHy even with Com' mlng.the Breckinridge candidate for Register and Recorder, and will, 00 donht, with tbe vole in the army, receive1 a majority. H. Y. Bright, Ksq., the Unioo candidate for Assembly, we regret to say, Is defeated by small vole, as were all the other Unioo candidates. The election was warmly con tested and the most desperate means were used by the Hreckioridgers, who, of them, selves, are bnt a small squad, but who, having the organiaitinn of the party in their bands, made see of the magic name of Democracy to carry nut their schemes for tbe distribution of offices. Thi if boasted majority of one thoursnd lias, however, dwindled down to about one hundred, and if tha Democrats, the great mass of whom are honest In their intentions, had understood the true issue of the contest, the Breckinridge squad would hove been left alone as nuked of strength as they are of principles or political honesty. tST Jti.iH'iAi.

Washington, October 6. Tbe following statement of tho master of tbe army transport Funny, eives the particu lars of ber capture by the Reheis : She was despatched by Colonel Hawkins wilh clothing, .Xamunition, piovisioos, etc., to Cbickumaconico, for tbe supply of tbe troops recently stationed there. After tbe news of the capture of the Fanny was recei ved at Ilatteras, Col. Hawkins called opou the Commanding Naval Officer in those waters for a force to go to tbe relief of tbe troopa Ao aimed expeditioo was fitted out which sailed on the morning of the 3d iost., but nothiog bad been heard from it at bve o'clock I but eveoiog, wbeo information was last received from that quarter. The following is tbe statement sf tba Master of tha Fanny : 11 atteras Inlet, Oct. 1. I left io (be steamer Fanny, at four o'clock. A. it., tor Inickainucooico or Loiteerhead M. Wa anchored io about eiiht feet of water. and waited there two bours aod a half before we got a communication fiom the shore. Tbey then fetched a fl it bout oB' aod loaded ber with ao assorted cargo of stores, tents. Arc. Wben tbe boat had been shoved off and got abnol two thirds of tbe way on shore, we saw a steamboat to tbe westward, about foor o'clock P. M., which proved to be oue of the enemy. She was standing to rot off our retreat, and io a short lime two more appear ed steering directly towards us. I'be first ooe then stood in and commenced firing npon s, ana as soon as tba otber two came op tbey did tbe same. Wa returned tbeir fire with nine shots, striking one of tha boats io tha bow. Then Captain Hart, of tba Twentieth Iodiaona hsgtmett, soggettsd ui to loraeeder, saying that it was no ose fighting against snch odds, and requested os to boist the white flag. The mate of the boat and a few soldiers turned to and threw overboard some thirty cases of ammunition, and Captaio Hart forbid tbem . to throw any more overboard. We then requested tbe Sergeant Major to throw the cannon overboard, which be refused to do, saying that it would be worse for them if tbey were taken prisoners. Captain Hart then requested the chain to be shipped and the boat run ashore, which was done. The white flag was then h osted and the Crew of the boat left in iheir boats. We endeavored to get boots to carry the soldiers from tbn Fanny, but could not do so. To the best of my opinion they bad plenty of time from our arrival to that of the enemy's boats, to have got everything on shore from the Fanny, if sufficient boots had beeu em ployed in the transportation of the stores, so that we could have destroyed the Fanny before she should have fallen into the bands of the Reheis. Wa left there ahont 6 o'clock P. M., in a ennoe, nnd arrived here about 9 o clock A. M ., oo the 2d inst. Signed, J. II. Morrison, Master of the tteumer Fanny. Wasiiinuton, Sept. 7. About a week ago Capt. P. F. C. Way, of tbe Coast Survey, attached to General Smith's bIhIT, ranged a rilled cannon, according to tbe chart of the Coat-l Survey, lor Fall's Chuich. The boll which was Gred from Fnrt Mercy, tbe other side of the Chain Bridge, paused over Full's Churcb. a distance of four end-a- half miles. A cavalry officer, of our army, in the vicinity at the time, becoming frightened by tbe shot, not knowing from whence it came, If It ins sword io the gronnd, ami. mounting bis horse, rode awuy in hot haste Falls Church was not in sight of the Engi neer wbo ranged the gun, and the shot is said to be a remarkably correct one. An order bus been iss-ued tbat, hereafter no minors who are discharged from the army are to be paid for tbeir services up to the time of i-aid discharge. A new military department is to be esUb lished. to he composed of North and South Carolina, of which General Mautfield is to have command. It is ascertained from an official source, that Gen. Wool has as yet received oo instruc tions. His proceeding to Missouri is, there fore, a matter of uncertainty. The Government bus already procured a large quantity of forage at about ten per centum less than is paid by private individ uals in Washington. 'i'be Rebel pickets are advanced only to the hiil a mile beyond Falls Church during. the day, and retire further back from the bill at night. A correspondent writing from an encamp ment near Mount Vernon, says : I wish you coul.l see these .Maine boys cot trees ; they have a method by whicb they can bring down twn or three at a time. They will take a lot of trees standing in a line and first cut the one standing in tho rear, until it bend sufficient to rest npon thn one immediately in front, and so on, until he will sometimes buve half a dozen all ready to full at once, just like the childreu make what they call a "shake," with bricks. With the aid of a few more blows from bis axe, down they all come at once, five or six in number, in about tbe same time it would take yoo or myself to get one to bend. What . a chance it makes in the appearance of tbe country. Go out io tbe mnining, and yoo may see a beauti'ul valley all covered witb trees. Come to the some lo cality sgaio at evening, and you will be aston ished to see what havoc tbe woodman a axe has made daring the day. Col.
