CTTim Piojsini'M lAt. Ei.KtTtox or
1SC4. 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!

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. Railroads which reach the Coul
Mines in tbeie Coal fic-lds.have hitherto over
averaged dividends to Stockholders at from
10 to 15 per cent, per annum, even during
tLc most gl-Jcray p:r!ch sftr-o Old trade.
The privilege pj-'.-Ooci by the Company
h of very great value if regarded only with
refeienee to tho large Coal tonnage it must

Befoke Richmond, Nov. 13, 18C4.
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.

dle Military Dkpawtmknt, Nov. 13. 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. Tho escort was com

The Whig criticises Davis', propsition to

wants him nnd the rebel authorities to mind

received your kind, interesting epistle on
tho 20th instant, rinding me lingering under
a severe attaok of the fever. I am now up
and about agaiu, nearly as well us ever.
They are sending out expeditious every now
and thou. We captured a Yankee-yawl
boat. It is said wu killed nearly all her
cruw, consist!); of about eight men. But
the most awful thing of all (perhaps you
will hear of it before this reaches you) is
that a Yankee torpedo boat steamed up the
river ou Thursday nijjht, and about three
o'clock ou Friday morning she ran into the
Alhhuirlti; tho torpedo burst, blowiug a
hole iu her some six feet long, sinking her
immediately.
She is now lying at the bottom of the
Roanoke River. The crew lost everything
they had, bed clothing, cverthiligj home
lost their hats, shoes j even some came out
iu their shirt sleeves and drawers, barefoot
ed. We ore in an awful condition. I be
lieve they are going to hold the place to the
bitter cud. Captain Wurley says ho intends
to tight as long as there is s mau left. This
is alt gas. I never did witness such an up
roar before in my life ; troops wero hurry
ing to and fro, expecting every moment to
meet in battle dread ; but unfortunately as
yet there hats been no attack, though there
is no telling how soon we may seo a man-of-war
steaming up the river, belching forth
fury in her mad career, carrying in her front
the token of devastation and ruiu. We are go
ing to take command of one of tho foits on

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.

ftepnrtiiiviit of the Sou:1ivi'h. j
Caiuo, Nov. 14. 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. It ia not known lmw
long our forces nmy continue to occupy At
I lanla. This will depend on circumstances
soon to bo developed. Whatever nun
Sherman 8 programme, gentlemen who are
good judges of military matters antMpatc

Gen Bctleu. Is now the subject of nu
merous characteristic anecdotes, which,
founded or unfounded, are now current in
the city. It is related that just before tho
election ho sought an interview with a cer
tain prominent Copperhead banker, and af
ter rehearsing the threats which this party
were making, informed him that he (the ban
ker) being a leader in their midst, and hav
ing more than most others to excite their
passions, should be held personally account
able for their deeds on the day of election.
The monition had its effect, so they say,
and tho warning was repeated to the "mass
es," who were studiously quiet thereafter.
The General still has his headquarters at the
Hoffman House. On Saturday he was 'the
