S3fTn President! al EUctioi. -The
"Indication urv, that Lincoln hM carried
tvery State In the Union, except Kentucky,
New Jersey an! Delaware. This unanimity
-of sentiment, ii not only WlraMv, but
think highly lmportiint In Its licnrlng on the
question of peace. Evui unfite of (bo frlende
of McClellan are freo to miuiit that it la let
ter that the majority should be Airgc and
decisive. The rebels will govern themselves
accordingly. They will now the utter
ItopelcsBneBS of. compromising on the basis
of their independence, and those who de
sire peace, (and we have no doubt, a majori
ty of them favor peace on any terms) will
accept the terms offered as the best they
can do. 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. In Upper Augnsja there
was a Union gain of 12 ; in Point 10; in
Coal township 50 ; in Milton 28, and Lower
Mahonoy 23. The principal gains of the
McClellan party were 43 in Mt. Carmel, all
new voters, and 8 in Northumberland.

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.

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. Sherman
returned to Atlanta early last week with
five corps ol his army, leaving two corps in
Tennessee, under Gen. Thomas to watch
Hood.
He destroyed the railroad from Chatta
nnoga, and is sending the irou to the former
place.
Atlanta wu burned, and Sherman is now

the blockado runner Virginia, both vessels
netting over 00,000. During the present

THE FLORIDA.
The Florida sailed from Liverpool, Eng

name of the Oreto. She arrived at Nassau,
N. P.. in April, where sho received her

sho was taken possession of by H. B. M
steamer Grevhonnd. but was- soon released
On the 0th of August, 1302, she left Nassau
and proceeded toGreeu Bay, where sho was
fitted out for a cruiser, her stores, &c, being
brought to her by the hnglisn schooner
Princo Alfred. She rau into Mobile on tho
8lh of September, 1802, and was struck bj

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. All of them were, armed to
the teeth,

DEFEAT OF HOOD.
Nasuvili.e, Nov. 5. 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. The army is, indeed, "Detter off
than it would be iu camp."
The enemy is entreucbed in the Blue

from here, la the direction of Talladega,
