Thus one by one we hope to bring back tvery State. This, it is true, may re' quire some time, but in the end will be ac complished. fSfWe publiah in another column a communication in favor of increasing the salary of the County. Superintendent of the Common Schools. The writer certainly give s some sound reasons in favor rf bia proposi tion. If it is true that a certain sum is ap propriated for salaries, and that which is taken off from the salary of our own bnper intendent, only serves to increase the salary of others, then there should be no objection to an increase of our own. There is evident ly something lame in the law which brings about such results. Wc, perhaps, differ with our correspondent ir. regard to the efficacy or importance of the office of Superintend ent, but if (he office is to be continued, then we can have no objection out as favorable as any other. Sf"THE election in this place, though warmly contested by both parties, passed off without any unusual disturbance. The Vote in the Borough was the heaviest ever polled in this place and reached 418, and what was singular, about 350 of this num ber was polled at noon. The vote in Octo ber was 385, being an increase of 53 over that vote. The Union majority in October was 109, and on Tuesday last 140, being Vnion gain of 82.

THE IjAJWJEST GUN IN THE WORLD, The grand test of the twenty inch Rod man gun nl Fort Hamilton, on the 20th, proved un entire socci.si. At 12 o'clock, for the first loading of the heaviest piece ol or diance in the world, the parapets of the fort were thronged with distinguished officers and ladies and gentlemen, anxious to witness the trial of the great gun. It was nut until half past vtwo o'clock the first discharge, a blank cartridgo of one hundred pounds of powder was fired. The concussion follow ing the dischargo was slight, and the recoil of the gun much less than was anticipated. The piece was next loaded w ito a charge of fifty pounds of powder and a thousand pound shell. The time taken in loading was about half an hour. The second trial was as successful as tho first, the ball, in consequence of considerable depression of the gun, striktng the water at a quarter of a mile distance, r-choting several times. The gun, on examination, being found to have received no strain, preparations were made for a final test. At 0 o'clock the piece was again loaded with a chaage of one hundred pounds of powder and a ball weighing ono thousand and eighty poundsone of the largest pro jectiles ever cast. It was said to be any thing but an easy task to adjust tuo uaii. However, at the hour mentioned, t tic piece was loaded, and everybody stood clear for the last grand trial. Tho gun was raised to nn elevation of twenty-five degrees, and the discharge was dcalening, 1 no ball was 24 seconds in the air, nndffell at the distance of about three miles and a half. Considera ble applause followed the final shot, mid all concerned in tho management of the piece were warmly congratulated. The following arc the dimensions of this last great achieve ment of Captain Rodman: Weight of gun, .10,497 pounds; length, 21 leet; bore, ao nehes; usual charge of powder, 100 pounds; average weight of ball, 1,000 pounds. iV. 1 tme. K.ieul. Cuwhiuj. A correspondent of tho New York Times give9 some interesting incidents in tho his tory of the young hro of tho torpedo ex ploit against the rebel ram Albemarle : iSut tins is not the lirst exploit ot Lieut. dishing. He seems to have a fancy for nd veutures of this sort. During the blockade off Wilmington, somo tune durin; last month, he went up several times inside the rebel lortihcations, in sipall boats. One night iast march, ho -landed at Smithville, alongside of a rebel battery, with two boat loads and about thirty men. There he caught a negro and-made him come with him, to show him where were the head quarters of Gen. Hcbert commund'uiv tho locality. Arriving at the spot, he took about eight men with hnu and left the rest with the boats. The negro pointed out the General's head quarters, which proved to be immeiUiiMy opposite the garrison. The sentry must have been asleep, lor it was late at night and no body challenged them. He immediately ranged his men, armed with cutlasses and revolvers, in front of the General's head quarters, in which ho was aided by Mr. J. E. Jones, Acting Eengineer, also William L. Ho wart h, theu acting Master's Mate, now Ensign, the latter of whom was also in the late Albemarle exploit. I.ieuts. Gushing and Jones went into the house and proceed ed up stairs. The General had that day gone to Wilmiugton, but they caught Cap tain Kelly, Engineer, in charge of the de fences, the Adjutant-General and others, very undigniliedly making through the win dows and for tho woods in their shirt tails. They evidently must have thought it was a mutiny of the garrison, for had they rush ed to tho latter instead of the woods our whole party would have been captured. As soon as Captain Kelly was dressed they started with him as a prisoner for their boats, and just as they reached it and were fairly off, lights flashed along the beach showing that they were discovered; but it was too Into for the rebels to catch them, and they arrived safely on board ti e Monti cello, at about 4 A. M. with their prisoners. The next day a flag of truce was sent in to the rebel garrison, for Captain Kelly's ef fects, accompanied by a polite note from Lieutenant dishing to General Hebert, ex pressing his regret that he had not had the pleasure of landing him at home the night before. It is said that many mutual pleas antries passed on the occasion, for the whole surprise was so ridiculously complete that even the rebels could not help being good natured over it, however much chagrined. Jones aud Howarth were in this adveuture also. Iu Juno last Lieut. Cushing had another bold adventure. He started upod an expedi tion with one boat and sixteen men, aud went to within eight miles of Wilmington, hiding in the swamps during tho day. On this occiion he captured a rebel eourrier, with mails from Fort Fisher to Wilmington, containg a largo batch of information among other things that the rebel rams then being constructed were utterly useless. In coming away he captured a boat containing si Binuieis, uun oeuig auerwanis discover ed, was chased by several picket boats. Lieutenant Cushing pretended ho was go ing out by the same way he entered by the western bur but while they were preparing to dodge and meet him, he suddenly turned off to the left and jumped his boat over the breakers at the new inlet side, where the re bels dare not follow him. He got off sately aud was picked up by the Cherokee, which brought Jiim to his ship next day with all his prisoners. For this exploit ho was-coni-pliiueutcd by a letter from the Naval De partment, iu which Jones und Howarth were honorably mentioned also, aud medals of honor were conferred upon Win. Wright, ship's yeoman, and John- Sullivan, seamen. The most astounding part of this narra tive is that the hero of it is a youth of only 22 years of age, with a record already summed up of which many grey beards would bo proud. When introduced to hi:n, I could scarcely reconcile the fact that tho unassuming young man bclorc rue, with his frank open countenance and long hair thrown wildly behind his ears, looking like some student just escaped from college for a little frolic, was the man wliosu name is al ready aud so justly prominent before the public. Apart from tho glory which such espi sodes as these throw around the character of our navy, this destruction of tho rebel ram Albemarle is a really important affair. It has, for months past, kept employed in watching aud at bay at least tivo of our doublu-eiulers and some five or six other vessels, which will now be released for any other kind of duty. Lieut. Cubhing was on his way to Wash ington, and will probably visit New York shortly, in both of which places he will doubtless receive the attentidn duo to his superior merits. While the uavy of the United States can boast of such young aud vigorous genius, there is no fear of its ever outliving the grand old stock of its Perrys and its Farraguts. IMPOBTANT NEWS FEOM GEN. SHERMAN. Cincinnati, Nov. 0. The Indianapolis Journal says that officers from Chattanooga report that Gen.

Chicago, Nov. 7. A mounted patrol of 500 men has been organized by the citizens for the protection of this city. Thcv will be on duty all niaht. A suflicient military force in here to prevent anv outbreak. Richmond ar.d Hancock, agents of the New York line of propellers, received a dis patch to-day stating that the Canadian steamer Georginna has been fitted out as a pirate, and is in Lake Huron. The Chicago Journal says tho telegrams were received yesterday by John v ent worth announcing the coming of large num bers of bushwhackers Col Sweet, the com maudant at Camp Douglas, w iik coinumniea ted with and orders at once for the arrest of the desperadoes on their arrival were is sued. The leaked out, and the faithful found means to apprise their lriends, and the bushwaekers left the train at the city limits and scattered iu various directions. The military and police are constantly scouring the city, and have picked up hue dreds of them. A propeller, w ith nearly a hundred suspi cious characters, arrived this morning from Canada, and will be captured. Col. Sweet has for some-time been aware of a rebel plot to release the prisoners at Camp Douglas and burn the city. His detectives have been at work, and with success, and, though the evidence obtained is not sufficiently con elusive to warrant the arrest to these hun dred conspiration, it deemed necessary to strike at once such ones as were unquestion able treasonable. Captain Nelson, of the city police, was dispatched to the house Tf Dr. Edwards to arrest Col. Vincent Marina duke, brother of tho rebel General. ' At the same time a detachment of military pro ceeded tolhe Richmond House, and captur ed the rebel Col. G. St. I.eger, Greenfield Morgan, Adjutant General, and J. Shan an escaped rebel prisoner. . B. S. Morris, a man noted for his hatred to the North, was also arrested. They are all now in Camp uougias. iu a dispatch to Ueneral took this mornini;. Col. Sweet says: "I have com plete proof ot his having assisted Shauks the rebel prisouers at, this camp," Meantime another detachment of military invested the limhlenee of Charles Walsh near Camp Douglas. His house was enter ed and a portion of tiiu contents taken to the camp. Captain Cantrell and a private named Charles Traverse, both belonging to tho rebel service, were there, and were ar rested as spies. In Walsh's house were found two hundred stand of arms, with all the necessary ammunition, and two cart loads of largo revolvers, loaded and cap ped ready for use. Iif regard to the arrest of Walsh, Colonel Sweet says he has evidence enough against him to insure his swinging for treason. Col. Sweet has proof in his possession that it was the plan of tho conspirators and home traitors to release the rebel prisoners at Camp Douglas and burn the city. The Camp was to Imvii been attacked on two sides to morrow night, the prisoners releas ed, and tho city pillaged anil burned. Simultaneously with tho above arrest by the military, the police entered a room in a building adjoining tho Mattesou House, and captured two large boxes of loaded guus concealed there. The police made a raid, early to-day, on the Donelson House, in Canal street, and captured foity bushwhackers, w ho had been tracked there.

On tho 3d inst., the rebel army, under Hood, attempted to cross theTennesse river at tho mouth of tho Blue water, and were repulsed by tho Union army under General Sherman, with considerable loss. Three regiments of cavalry aro reported between Decatur and Courtlaud. Forrest, with a cavalry force, is reported near John sonviiie, which is amply garrisoned to repeal any attack. General Sherman's headquarters to-day are at Gaylesville, North Alabama, a little burg of a doen houses, situated on the Chattanooga river, six miles from its junc tion with tho Coosa. Tho towu is twenty five miles from Rome, Ga., iu a southwester ly direction. Tho valley iu which Gayles villo lies is a productive one, aud one week ago was tolerably well filled with supplies. This fact no doubt influenced General Sher man iu selecting this as a place of rest when pursuit of Hood was abandoned. The army has been here five days, and the country for twenty-five miles around has been pretty well cleared of sweet potatoes, corn, hogs, milch cows and fruit. Our men have "sub sisted off the country," and grown fat by the change from Government rationt. Pilu of cracker boxes and barrels of saU meat are stored at the commissary depots of the army and origioul packages of bacon remain un touched.

More than twelve miles of track have been entirely rebuilt since the enemy were driven away, the desf 'uction of ties, rails and bridge having been complete. . 1'lie Pirate "Florida" Captured by tue "Vauclionctt." Boston, Nor. 7. The United States steamer Kearssgc, Capt. Winslow, has arrived at this port from St. Thomas. She brings eight of the crew of the pirate Florida, captured by tho United States steamer Wachusett, in the bay ot Sat; Salvador, Brazil, October 7th. Fifty-eight of the crew and twelve officers were captured, without the loss of a man on board the wachusett. The Wachusett, with the Florida, was to Jeave St. Thomas on the 2d instant for the United Stales. LATER. The following is a brief account of the circumstances of the capture of the pirate i loriua : Sho arrived at Bashia Bay of San Salva dor, on tho night of the 7th ult. Captain Collins having held a consultation with his officers determined to sink the Florida in Port. Accordingly about three o'clock the cables were slipped, and the Wachusett 6teamed for the Florida, hitting her on the quarter without doing her any great lujury. Cupt. Collins now called out to those on board the pirate to surrender or he would sink her. This demand w as replied to be the First Lieutenant "under tho circum stances I surrender." A Howzer was now made fast, tho cable slipped and the Florida towed to sea. In the malee several pistol shots were fired, and accidentally two guus from tke Wachusett. Captain Morris and wolf,of tho Florida's crew wcro ashore on lilierty. The Florida w as taken completely by sur prise.
