To mnnv of our rondcrfl it ha, pro bably never, occurred that the recent election im the mott momentrfaa, and wu think the most important In the hintnry of the world. Tlio fact that this great nation, 'in le Dililut of ft civil war, and engaged ! suppressing the most gigantic relwllion ever known, hna fleeted its Chief Magistrate and fjlrf, with out riot, bloodshed or dimirder, U on event that will oiiidM the ditpotsf Europe nnd the ecou'era of Republicanism throughout the world. This very day the government of the United States of America, Is stronger, vastly stronger, not only in the eyes (t foreign powers, but in the estimation of our own people, than it ever was before or ever could bo without the intervention of this fiery ordeal. We have learned our own ' It power and strength, and our enemies both foreign and domestic, have learned to ap preciate the same fact. Next to the defeat of Gen. McClellun, whose great misfortune it was to be surround ed and influenced by reckless and designing men, was the defeat of Gov. Seymour of Kew York. The Governor was, perhaps, one of the most dangerous men, acting with tho pcaco party. Personally a gentleman of character, able, shrewd and intelligent, he wielded n powerful influence, such as Val landigham, Wood and their associates, could never attain. Mr. Pendleton, the de feated candidate for Vice President, i3 a tnua of similar character, able, gentlemanly and talented, but wedded to the pernicious doctrines which are tho root of this rebel lion. Thi.t the rebels are greatly disappointed at the result, is not surprising. They are deter mined upon sepcratiou, aud had hopes that Gen. McClellan would eventually fuvor that measure. Whether they had any founda tion for such hopes, or not, is not necessary to determine. These hopes are uibBipuUd forever. Hence we find in the rebel Jour nals, extracts like the following, copied from the Richmond Examiner of tlie 11th inst, : ' I "Wc believe that Abraham Lincoln is Chief Magistrate of tho enemy's country for four years longer. How he accomplished this object whether the transaction is pro perly called an election, or on usurpation, or a coup d'etat is the affair of his own sub jects, aud no concern of ours. There he is, and along with him the whole Wit Admin istration, more- bent on slaughter and con fiscation than ever, and backed by the great ar interest hungry lor new and more enor mous contracts. It would be idlo specula tion for U9 to occupy ourselves with the possible revolt of tho defeated aud disap pointed party amongst our enemies, or the probable break down of their financial re sources, with tho chance of riots, or resis tance to drafts, or conspiracies to separate the Western States all those things are contingent and precarious ; may happen and may not." Their hopes, they ReVv.crfkdgo are now br,d on tho revolt of the. defeated party and conspiracies among ourselves, which they think may or may not happen. How little they .understood tho masses of the. de mocracy, and h-vv lit'.'.w dM .hat democracy understand them, or the designs of eomo of their own leaders! J37Thk New Yokk and Middle Coal Field Rail Road and Coal CoJu-'any. Tho attention of the public has been called to an extension of tho Railroad of this Com pany from the present terminus, at Mount Camel, in Northumberland county, Pa., to I.izzar.1 Creek in tho Lehigh Valley, via "Ashland and Schuylkill Haven," both in Schuylkill county. The distanco from Mt. Curmcl to Schuylkill Haven is 23 miles, nnd from thence to Liz.ard Creek 30 i miles, to tat 52 miles. From Mount Carmel to with" in four miles of Schuylkill Haven, this ex tension will pass across tho Middle and Southern Anthracite Coal Fields at about midway from their respective Eastern and Wc3teru ends. It will intersect lateral Roads that traverse through both these great Coal Basins. By an act of Assembly tho company lias the right -to make any number of branches not exceeding ten miles in length each, This privilcgo will assure a connection with tho Collieries in theso Coal fields, cither uponequitable aud liberal erma over the short Roads already made, or if they may bo denied, then by making tlieir own branches. 'As a general thing the Collieries can be reached by new Roads that will be 'shorter and better than those now operating.

In every engagement there are incidents which illustrate a variety of characters, many of which are worthy of being placed Oil record. Those in which patriotism and bravery aro comprised cheering our brave boys ou to sustain tho old flag, should bo held up as an evidence of their unwavering loyalty, and for tho purpose of stimulating others to emulate their nobio example. Witli this idea in view, I would refer to tho gal lant conduct of Colonel Fairchild's brigade in tho demonstration against Richmond, September 27th. Never did men acquit themselves more creditably. Amid a terri ble tire they rushed again Jand again upon tho enemy's works with an impetuosity that seemed to insure success, but they were driven back in dcleat, but not with dis grace. At one time, when a galling fire was pour ed into the brigade, which caused it to waver a little, Capt. W. H. Spain, who hap pened to be the only remaining olliccr on tho spot unscathed, shouted to his own re giment, tho 10th Wisconsin, to advance in lino and show New Yorkers how to form a lino 'f battlo under fire. The 146th Nc .v Yoikwasa part of tho brigade, and w as inelided to give way under the sweeping fire of tho enemy. Under such disastrous cir cumstances tho 19th formed not only rapid ly, but remained creditably. Shortly ufter this Major S. R. Vaughn, who had been un der the enemy's guns, made his escape un der combination of perils. It must be confessed that when tho bri gade fell back the first time from the raking tire of tho enemy, they were a little in dis order, and somewhat panic-stricken ; but the appearance of Col. Fairchild on the scene with his staff, together with Captain Spain, who was the officer of the day, with drawn swords and words of encouragement, rallied the men to make another attack on the enemy's works. This incident illustrate, that brave officers never fail to make brave men ; while, on the other hand, if the sol diers see the officers skulking behind a trees or under any other suspicious circumstances, the example is likely to be followed. After the second assault, under tho espe cial inspiration of gallaut officers, the men, though unable to reach tho enemy's works, won for themselves the appellation of "the brave' " They returned in good order, and '"li'tho line f tho 19th Wisconsin was formed agaiu by Captain Spain there were only fourteen men, u7Z rgeants aud one corporal to march from tho u. cu the regiment cume out upon tho Williams burg road, the number was augmented to about forty, having been joined by the stretcher-bearers ami others not in line of battle. This regiment, whose placo was on the left of the .brigade, through its good conduct under that terrible fire, was placed upon the right, and in that position had the honor of marching off tho field. The l'Oth Wisconsin had its colors shot down five times; the last three they wero in the hands of Corporal Carpenter. In that demonstration there were acts of indiyidual bravery which give additional lustre to the loyalty of our citizen soldiers. Important irom .Aorlli Crtl-oliua. Baltimoue, Kov. 12.

A Cavalry skirmish took place yesterday after noon between our cavalry, ine Heaviest firing was o i the left of our lino. Acting under orders previously issued, our cavalry commenced falling back very rapidly when the rebels first advanced, Continuing to advnnco, the rebels camo suddenly upon our reserve, wnen incv received wuu Bevcim heavy vollevs and hastily retreated. The obiect of this reconnoissanoe on the part of the rebels was doubtless to try our strength and ascertain our position on the new line taken by our troops on the 9th instant. General Sheridan's army now lies encamp cd near Kearnstown, about four miles to the south of Winchester. The ttround we now occupy is the same on which Gene, al Shields fought Stonewall Jackson, aud finally drove liim back to Cedar creek. Headquarters Orn Anirr Coups, in the Field near Kearnstown, Virginia, Nov. 12. General Sheridan's change of position from Cedar creek to Kearnstown lias induced the rebels to agaiu advance down the valley. . At an early hour this morning skirmishing was resumed with great briskness along the whole cavalry line, but tho rebelB were ra ther weak in numbcra or spirit, for they could not be induced to follow up our pick ets, who, in obedience to orders, fell rapidly back when tho tiring commenced. This system of tactics not seeming to draw the enemy on to our main lines, Gen. Sheri dan sent off a large force of cavalry for the purpose of coaxing a fight out of the rebels. Our men are in high spirits at tho prospect of bavins another "fight before tho campaign closes, and hope that the rebels have brought a largo number ol guns down witu tncm. Maktisshuuo, Va., November 13. Im portant news is just in irom Gen. Sheridan, up to midnight. The strategic reconnois sance by our cavalry on Friday, caused the enemy s cavalry, under Lomax, to advance against our lines ou Saturday morning. Considerable fiahting ensued, during which tho enemy were repulsed with great loss. Gen. Sheridan then ordered Col. Powell to pursuo them in their flight; this ho did with, tlio greatest vigor and success, tie drove them through and beyond Front Roy al, and captured two guns, one hundred and fifty prisoners, several wagons, and a large number of horses. Our losses aro said to have been considerable, as tho fighting was extremely warm for a Bhort time. No in fantry were engaged, but Generals Sheridan and Torbet were both at tho front in person with the cavalry, nnd made very short work of the fighting." Col. Powell conducted the pursuit very handsomely, and fairly merits the success which attended it. The escort which came in with despatches from General Sheridan hist ni'jht was tired on by guerrillas when just beyond Bunker hill," but they tied when the fire was return ed by our cavalry.

The city is tnuch exalted this afternoon by rumors from the West, In reference to Gen, Sherman's late mysterioutnoyementa. The fall In gold to-day may be connected with these reports. It Is stated that Sherman had moved dl- r recti y east and had occupied Augusta. If tr.is be so, it would appear ttiat wuarieston is probably his destination, Wabhwoton1, Nov 15. Alfred Onderkirk of the 1st D. C. Cavalry (Col. Baker's.) who was cantured in the vicinity of Rich mond and Danville Railroad, on the 18th of Mav. has made his escape and arrived in this city. He was confined at Anderson ville Georgia, until Sherman took Atlanta, when prisoners at Andersonviue were transferred to Savannah, Charleston, and other point. Onderkirk was sent to Savannah and Kept there until news was received that Hood was operating in the rear of Sherman, when the rebels tooK courage, and transterreu me prisoners at Savannah to Miller, Georgia, winch, as being equidistant irom savanuan, Mil ledge ville and Augusta, and a point, ou the leading railroad connections, has been se lected as tlio main quarters for Union pris oners, and some twenty-five thousand have ocen placed tlicre. When about eleven miles from Savannah on the way to Miller, Onderkirk jumped from the cars and succeeded in making uis way on foot, through two hundred and seventy-eisrht miles ot hostile country, to Sherman's lines at Atlanta. He says Savan nah was so scantily guarded by Confederate troops that every third night details of Marinees from the confederate vessels in Savannah harbor, were obliged to go on shore to do guard duty over tho Union sol diers. The defences of Savannah are most ly on the coast side, and on tho northwest or land 6idc, the defences are not only very slight, but the flat country affords no de fensible points. The roads are generally good from Atlanta in tho direction of Sa vannah, and the country for the most part level. The streams also are easily fordablo with low banks for the most part. The supplies of sweet potatoes, corn and peas in the fields would be abundant for the tem porary support of a large army in passing throuch that country.

A dispatch from Gaines : Lauding, dated the 7th instant, says that the rebels had again attempted to cro-H the ' river at this place to assist Hood. General Reynolds, of tho 10th Corps, has a brigade there, and Osband's cavalry bri gade was momentarily expected from Yicks burg. It was supposed that the rebel have a force on the Mississippi side co-operating with them, and that the movemint N for midable, consisting ot the Texas portion of the rebel army, said to be under Mngmder. But it is not believed that a crossing can be affected. Apart from the rebel announcement that Hood is marching on Chattanooga, the last authentic intelligence received here is tii.it he has passed the Tennessee river, but had not gone far beyond ; and, even if t,:r had done so, ho will probably find General Thomas,' or some other army in his trout at all events, a sufficient forc e to prevent him from making iurjuious progress. No despatches have been received from Slier mau for several days past, for the rcuuon, as is supdosed. Unit he is now beyond the means of immediate cour.n'inieaticm with Washington. The part of the country in which he is now operating will afford him ample sul sis tonco without the trouble of traii-povtatioii, and by this time he may be far beyond the point where the enemy, in formidable nmii 1 bers, can do no harm.
