Tho probabilities, howe"er aro
.v Jersey, Kentucky and Missouri,
''or McClellan. Among the news
icre, the World is the leading Mc-
paper. It is said to be controlled'
vned, principally, by Augustus IJcl-
, the great Jew Banker of this city,
j is the representative of the Kothschilds j
Europe. The Express, unuthcr paper of
.ho same character and principles, is edited
by James Brookes, who was, a few years
since, the head aud front of the Know-Nothing
party. These- papers aro perfectly
bankrupt in principle, aud as reckless of
moral honesty in politics, as tho veriest
rogue in Sing-Sing. To read the Bulletin
boards of these papers, one might imagine
ho was in Richmond or some other city :n
Jeff Davis1 dominions. Not only are the
victories of our army frequently denied, in
tho face of the official reports, but when tho
rebels, themselves, ndmit them, these men
if they can't ignore tho facts underrate their
importance.
It is, indeed, dcplorrble that men for tho
sake of party should forget every instinct of
patriotism. A few days ago, a leading would
bo democrat from a neighboring county, not
one hundred miles from Simlmry declared
in preseucu of a southern democrat iV.r.t if !
Lincoln was elected he was iu favor -f put
ting McClellan in tho Presidential chair by j
force. The Southerner promptly told him I
that if such were his sentiments, lie was a
traitor at heart, and deserved to be hung.
This reproof was entirely unexpected, aud
the pretended democrat endeavored to ex
plain awny the offensive remarks.
The Chicago plittforui, and General Mc
C'eltan'3 pi-ittbrm of principles, are two en
tirely different things. A Pendleton Demo
crat, who goes iu for the Chicago platform
as it is, and not as tho McC.cUau party con
strues it, writes to tho New York Daily JS'ws,
Fernando Wood's organ, as follows :
"The truth is, Mr. Editor, the real Demo
cracy in Kentucky don't care a between
Lincoln and McClellan, and moreover, they
won't go to the polls to be insulted by Yan
kee? and negroes. So if Lincoln gets this
State you must not set it down to tho want
of Democratic votes, but to the folly of the
leaders in putting a federal, with armed
federal principles, at tho head of the ticket.
"If ire could vote for 1'mdLtnn, not a man
would hesitate to incur any risk to elo so ;
because he is a democrat of the right stamp,
and has not repudiated tho platform of the
elemocracv. But us it is we might as well '
have a black federal us a white one."
Tho Gold Market is again very much ex
cited, and will bo until after tho election.
Every effort is made by Belmont, the Jewish
Banker, and agent of tho Rothschilds, in
New York, to run up tho price of gold, in
order to raise tho prices of goods, and thus
ii.jure the Administration.
J-iTTw: SOLDIER' Vote. Tho election
in this State and Ohio in October settle one
thing plainly enough, and that is, how sol.
fliers are going to vote. Six to one, on an
average, they go for the Union candidates.
Nut that they, who, at tbo time they enter
ed their country's service, fairly represented
all shades of political views, have at that
rate Income changed to Republicans, still
less that by any enjirit d eor. that have re
solved to voto merely as their commanding
Generals do. If this were tho case, there
might be some ground of apprehension for
tho future, however agreeable their present
political course .night be. But wo look
upon .ua 'soldiers' vote as an expression
wholly beyond the range of ordinary, per
sonal political appliances. It is tho solemn
verdict of a cluss of men who are, in u spe
cial manner, brought fare to face with the
great issues of our national crisis, and upon
whom the potty politics, of the day have lost
their force.
Ia this light the soldiers' vote is a source
fif inbtruction to us all. It teaches that the
men upon whom the heaviest burdens of the
war are billing, are the roost uuaniuious ol
all ch.ses against yielding to the Copper
head clamor for a cessation of hostilities 1
That they who ought to learn first whether
the was is "a fa'dute," declare in a body

IlKAlMiUAllTlSKS AUMY OK THE POTOMAC,
IN tub Fif.i.k, Oct. 270 P. M Yesterday
tho urinarations for a crand reconnoissance
iu force were completed bv tho Vvithdral of
tho greater part of the Army of tho Potomac
from the trenches and mussing it iu the rear,
ready for the move.
The 1st division of the 2nd Corps, with a
uart of tho 6tll and 0th Corns, held the en
tire line, Horn the Appomattox on tne rigui
to Bomo three miles west of the Wcldon
road on tho left. All wagons, baggage, &o,
were sent to the rear, nt Citv Point.
At two o'clock thU mornini. General
ITarftok, with tho 2nd and 3d divisions of
his corps, moved along tne vauguan roaci,
running southwest, and after crosssing
Hatcher's Run, found tho rcbols entrenched
in newly made works. He Rt once charged
them on the flank nnd drovo the enemy out,
and took some twenty prisoners, mostly
cavalry, among whom was Major Vcnable,
an acting adjutant general, but on what
ccncral's staff ho woulel not tell.
The 0th Corps took tho Squirrel Level
road, and found the enemy postetl nt its
junction with the Duncan roael, which runs
norm Irom tho vauguan roael to the lioyn-
ton roiul.
From this they were driven by our skir
mishers, with some loss, the 1st Division
haviii'r about fortv wouneled in the affair.
Tho 3d Division of the corps took the ad
vance, and, crosri'g Hatcher s Run, connect
cd with tho 2d Corns.
In the mean time Gen. Hancock advanced
along a by-road, driving tho enemy before
him till he reached the Boynton plank road,
where the column halted and formed in line
of battle on tho f:mn of Mrs. Butler, the
left reaching some distance west of the road
and tho right extending to a thick wood on
the richt.
The 5th Corps had also formed nnd ad
vanced through the woods two miles, but
the left of the line failed to connect with
the right of the 2d Corps. The enemy fell
back as wo odvauced, intil the line
reached Hatcher's Run again, when the re
bels wcro found behind strong entrench
ments, and brisk firing cusued, but without
much loss to either side.
At about 4 o'clwk in the afternoon the
enemy tukiug advantage of the break in the
lino between' the 2d und 5th Corps, massed
Anderson's division ot Hill's corps and
chargcel tho right wing of tho 2d, which
gavo way and fell back a short distance ;
but being reinforced, the latter charged and
captured a number of prisoners.
Our loss in the affair is not known, but is
not believed to bo heavy.
A few minutes after tho enemy's cavalry,
which had been cut off on the Boynton roael,
made an attack on Gregg s Division, direct
ly in the rear of the Second Corps, and lor
a time quite a sharp skirmish was kept up.
General Gregg dismounted some of his men,
anel finally drove off,
lu the charge made on tho Second Corps,
two guns were said to have been taken by
the enemy, but they were subsequently re
captured." Fighting continued at this part of the
line til after dark, when a heavy rain storm
set in, putting au cud to the lighting for the
day.
The 0th Corps occupied the right of the
advance-, but did not gain much ground, the
object being to allow the left to get fairly
around on the Boynton plank, road. The
colored division of the 0th bad some skir
mishing with the enemy, but nothing ap
proaching a fight. They lost a few wound
ed. Gregg's cavalry had a sharp fight with the
rebels iu the forenoon, when they attacked
the rear of his column. He chargcel und
drove them back, capturing a number of
prisoners, and eight or ten wagons loaeled
with supplies, together with the horses,
mules, tVc.
The troops that occupieil the country over
which we passed to-day were Boleler's and
Young's elivision of South Carolina und
Georgia troops, with a part of Wilcox's
brigaoo.
Tho left wing gained about fifteen miles
of country to-day, and is now in a position
to nt trek the enemy's work on the tlank.

While riding along the line to-elay a ball
grazed his cheek und made a slight wound.
October 28 -7 i- A. M. The number of
prisoners taken yesterday was about three
hunare-d.
Lute last evening some rebel cavalry cap
tured three or four ambulances belonging to
the nth Corps, which got on the wrongmud.
UliAOlJUAHTKItS AllMV OK TUE PoTOMAl',
Oct. 20. The lute movements of this army
have resulted in exlemling our lines as far
us Hatcher's Run, ou the Duncan road, a
elisUnce ot about three miles beyond our
former position on the left, and in the dis
covery of the exact position of the enemy's
lines, and the works erected for their de
fence', as well us u more complete knowledge
ot the country between us nnd the Souih
Sido Uuilroud. It was uot believed that the
enemy had any very strong works iu this
direction, and that taking them by surprise
they could bo easily driven into their inner
lines of Petersburg, but to tho surprise of
all, not only were tho enemy found eutrench
ed on both sides of the Boynton plank road,
but they had strong works ou both sieles ol
the run, exteiuling several miles.
The 2d Corps in their charge on the plank
road, drove tho rebels from their works on
the south side ot the run and across the
bridge, of which they held possession until
ordered to withdraw.
In tho advance of the 5th Corps they
moved on the south side of the run, and the
roael beiiTg very crooked in this vicinity, by
keeping close to it there wus a gap between
the lelt und the right of the 2d Corps. The
enemy took advantage of this, and massing
in the woods, under cover, made a most de
termined assault on the right of the 2d Divi
sion of the 2d Corps, evidently of the inten
tion of capturing the entire force on the
right. Their charge, for a very short time,
was a success, but our men rallied, charged in
turn, and, driving tho rebels back, cut off
the greater part of Anderson's brigade of
Hill's corps. The number of prisoners thus
taken here was about 400, including many
officers. Meaniijiio the 5th Corps hud reach
ed tho enemy's works in their trout and be
came hotly engaged. Tho loss hero was not
so heavy as in the 2d Corps.
Darkness approaching, and it being dcem
uusufo to occupy so extended a line with
strong lines iu front, and exposed to flauk
attacks from cavalry, orders were issued to
withdraw about two miles, which was done
without loss.
Duriug the engagement the enemy drove
our men from two guns, but before they
could bo removed our me-u charged and re
took them.
The loss of tho enemy cannot be stated,
but it is thought to be us heavy as our own
in killed aud wounded, while their loss in
prisoners is much larger than ours. Wo
l ok about 500 altogether duriug tho day.
Gen. Grant and staff were present during
the eutire day, and, in company with Gen.
Meade, witut'ed the various movements.
Duriug Thursday night the rebels made an
assault on our works south of where the
mine wus sprung, but were driven back with
considerable loss. Near the same place a
party from the 1st Division of the 2d Corps
made a dush on a rebel fort anel captured it,
taking a colonel, a major, aud a lieutenant
with twenty men prisoners, and bringing off
two gnus. Our picket line was advauced hero
for some dktauce, aud our men still hold
thii ne-w ground. W. D. l&G.

The natural quiet has prevailed along tbo

with considerable loss to them. Ai vuo

of piercing our centre, but one ol the pickets

rebels advanced thev received such a fire
as to drive them back in confusion and with
heavy loss Repeated attempts were made,
but resulted in like manner, and although
tho firing was kept up nearly all night, the
enemy guincd no further advantage. Our loss
is put down at U87 captured. The casualties

Tho loss of the encmv must have been
heavy, as they advanced in range of our bat

dark, however, and of course the urine w as
not so effective as it would have beeu had
our men had a good view of the enemy,
At this hour all is quiet.

Buford's headquarters is at Shady Grove.
He has eight regiments, three battalions,
and a battery of Duhlgren guns. Orders
were issued for a concentration of the force
on the Tennessee line, und to prepare for a

' it a v i n .
Of all the frauds ever attempted in the
United States, that just detected at tho of
fice of the Now York State agent at Balti
more is certainly, by all odds, the most start
ling. All previous efforts in this lino sink into
insignificance before tho gigantic swindle,
for the number of votes forged ii estimated
even as high as tixty thousand. For some
time past we have been puzzled to account
for the extraordinary confidence with which
the rebel sympathizers spoke of the prospect
of carrying the State of New York. But at
length tho murder is out. They bragged
high because they trustee! to these stupen
dous frauds. It seems that the wretches
who were engaged in this nefarious attempt
to cheat the soldiers of their votes, Lad gone
to the original muster rolls and copied off
the names off all the Few York soldiers,
dead or alive, and forged papers for them
as well as votes. Thousand of the gal
lant men who now sleep in far away battle
fields ; thousands of others who languish in
southern prisons, and thousands more who
have been discharged in ill health or crip
pled, have had votes for McClellan polled
gratuitously for them by these New York
agents, who have diligently forged all the
papers to match.
The following official statement of these
astounding frauds should be read by every
honest man und voter in the land :
WAsniNtfTON, Wednesday, Oct. 20, 19C4
The Military Commission, Major General
Doubleiluy, rrenelcnt, was ordered to sus
pend the trial of the blockade traders to-elay
amt procecil to Baltimore forthwith, to in
vestigatt and try a recontly-eliscovered case
ot most astounding lruud and forgery con
uected with the New York State soldiers'
votes.
The charges arc in brief, substituting '-Mc
Clellan" for "Lincoln" votes in tho original
envelopes subn.ittcel by the soldiers, and in
forging names of dead soldiers, prisoners in
rebel hands, .v.c.
One box, over three feet long, containing
many thousands of these fraud lent votes, has
been seized. Others are known to have been
sent to New York.
The developments in this case promise to
be of tho most startling character.
UALTiMonic. Oct 27. Gen. Doubleday's
Court convened at the Eutaw House this
morning.
A preliminary examination was bad of
papers, envelopes, ballots, blanks, ic, which
had been seized. Also, a complete list of
all soldiers which h id been sent to New
! York since th eommenccmvnt of the war.
copied from official lolls iu the State Adju
tant General s IMhce. i
The extent to which these frauds have j
been carrii-e'. u not vet ascertained, lt is
estimated tlut sixty thousand have been
prepared, und inniiv already gent.ffto New
York.
Two prisoners only were examined today
Edward Donohuc, Jr. pleaded not guilty to
the charges and specifications, lie denied
their right, to try him separate from his con
federates; he denied the right to try himliy
military tribunal, nml demanded cotin-tvl.
In short, he was the finest specinn of injur
ed innocence this side of ti.e New York con
fidence operations.
The next ir.U called w.-.s M. J. Ferry, n
venerable looking man, who for two years
past has been the New York fMute Agent to
look after tho sick and woujidee'. scldie-rs in
und around Ualtiinore. lie seemed Inhering
under great depression, and so heartily
ashamed of tho crime of which ho stood
charged, and in which ho was so inextrica
bly implicated, that after being questioned j
lor a short tune, he made a full, frank and
unreserved confession of the whole thing.
Tho Court adjourned until to-uionow to
give Doiiohue an opportunity to procure
counsel.
l'KUKV'S coxrussiox.
After the adjournment of the Court, Mr.
Ferry made the following full confession :
I do not recollect the time when the lirst
papers were Jorgf-d, but it was iu the pres
ence of O. K. Wood, of Clinton county; it
was done in my office, No. 14 Faette street
llaltimore. 1 am, and have been for the
past two years, the age-tit for the State of
New York, appointed by Governor Seymour,
to look after the sick and wounded soldiers
of New York: I lirst saw Wood on Wed
nesday of last week, at my office ; ho came
anil represented himself us an agent of the
Central Commit tee, of his county, to. look
after his local ticket; ho talked abont the
way in which votes could be taken; it wus
agreed that we should sign the name of sol
diers and o.'lieers, and then send them home
to have the local tickets tilled in ; I
made
out small papers; 1 signed the names ot
soldiers on quite a number of them; lean
not tell what names wo signed ; tho papers
aro no. v in the bundle on the table; 1 did
not sign names officers, but Honolulu signed
any quantity of them; there was a iurge
package of these papers left with me which
I destroyed ; that package contained over
200. Donohuu signed them all ; the idea of
forging these papers was fiist sugge-sted by
a man named Maxon t he is from the West
ern part of tho Stale of New York ; 1 do not
know from what county; he is not in the
service ; he is a State agent ; I cannot say at
what time it was proposed to forgo these
papers; it was uluiost two weeks ago; I do
not think there was anybody present but
Douohue and myself w hen Maxon lirst pro
posed to forgo these papers; there was a
man named liuiiily iu my office; he is now
iu New York ; also a man named Newconib ;
1 never wv him until he came tjicre : he is
a lawer in Albany ; part of the forged papers
were in my otlice, and part brought there ;
they were usually brought in a bundle tied
up; I do uot know who brought them; I
hail no letters from Peter Cagger except
what were founei in my dusk ; 1 never knew
of any correspondence on this subject with
General Furrell, the Commissary of Subsis
tauce, except tho packago which you have ;
the package contained a lot of blank eve
lopes and powers of attorney, with a letter
from General Farrell, marked "confidential,"
which contaiucd a list of the names of the
residents of Columbia county ; I did not let
any know I destroyed the forged papers left
with mo, but 1 told my associates that I sent
them to diil'ercut parlies in the State to bo
mailed ; a young man camo from Washing
ton on Friday or Saturday last, saying, it I
had any more blanks to send them on to
Washington ; I am not certain thut he did
or did not say anything about there being
twenty men over there who could attend to
these matters; I do not know how many
forged (papers were sent off; but I heard
Li ui say they sent them from Washington
by the dry goods boxfull ; I do not re-ccol-lect
hearing them talk dispairiugly; but they
talked quite jubilautly and confidently!!
sent a package of forged, papers to General
Farrell with a letter notifying him of the
fact, and that everything was working well.
A ItiRuleotiM Verdict.
Washington, Nov. 2.
Donshuo and Ferry, the Agents in the
recent election frauds, have been convicted
by tho Military Commission, and sentenced
to an imprisonment for life. The sentence
has been approved, and will be immediate

nUADQCARTEns ARMT OF TUB POTOMAC,
Oct, 80, A. N. Since the army returned to
its old quarters on Friday nothing of im
portance has transpired. The enemy's cav
alry followed our troops closely as they re
turned, out were prevented troin doing any i
damage of importance. I
The only captures they made at this time
were some eight ten ambulnuces, which had
taken a wrong road, but even these they
could not get away. The horses were cut
loose ana run oil, ana our men uurncu tue
wagons.
The rebel cavalry made repeated attempts
to charge, but were each time repulsed with
loss. During the day the entire army reach
ed the positions occupied by it previous to
its move, when the enemy returned to their
former position.
Our losses will reach auout i,ouu ns near
as can be ascertained at present. The 2d
Corps, which did the most fighting, lost 10
officers killed, 81 wounded, 77 men killed,
580 wouneled, and 400 missing, lhe 5tu
Corps lost about 130 altogether, and the 0th
Corps upwards of 150, mostly in the colored
division.
The casualties in the cavalry division are
not known precisely, but many of those
classed as missing will undoubtedly return
to camp, as tho number of stracalers was
larcrc.
The loss of the enemy was Severe, and
some say greater than our own, in killed
and wounded. Wo have eight hundred and I
twenty-eight prisoners and tour battle Hags j
most ol which were taken by the 2d Corps.
The highest praiso is given by all to tho
officers and men of the Id anil 3d divisions
for their behavior during the day.
Generals Eagen and Mutt, w ho command
ed them, and Gen. Smith and Col. McAllis
ter, commanding brigades, are particularly
praised for tho manner iu which they hand
led their men.
The charge made by the New Jersey bri
gade, under t'ol. McAllister, on the enemy
who had got in tho rear of our forces, was
one of the finest ever witnessed, and result
ed in saving the entire position.
All is quiet with the exception of picket
firing, which is quite lively at night.

Wasuinhtos, October 31.
Thomas II. Dudly, American Consul at
Liverpool, has, under dale of October 10th,
written to Secretary Sewanl relative to the
loiter from Sir lleurv De- Houghton to Gov.
j eyiuout, enclosing t lie uildns ot t tie peo
pie of the Cniled Kingdom to tho people of
the L lilted Xutcs, asking them, lt not in ex-pre.-s
terms, ut least in substance, to ac
knowledge tho independence of the South.
He says: "Sir Henry's interests in the Con
federate loan, and advances he has made on
account of the Southern Confederacy, amount
to the sum of '350.000 ($1,730,000.) He is
also a member of the Southern Independence
Association, which wus formed for the ex
press purpose of aiding, in every posssible
way, tho South to achieve their indepen
dence, and has labored unceasingly from the
time of its formation to the preeent to ac
complish this object.
".More recently it has turned its attention
to the politics of the I'nite-d Mates, and es
pecially to. the Presidential election about
to tuke place, as the most effective way of
aiding the South in its work of dismember
ing the Union.
"The address has emanated from the
Peace Association."
Iu conclusion, after somo rcmarks'of a po
litical character, Mr. Dudley says it will be
seen from a slip enclosed, cut from the Liver
pool Daily l'ot, that Lady Houghton, the
wife of Sir Henry, is to have a stall iu the
great bazaar lo bo held at Liverpool to raise
lunds for the Confederate. '.
