Our returns are quite meager as yet, but enough has been received to warrant the belief that the whole Republican Ticket has been triumphantly elected by majorities ranging from 1000 to 2000. Mr. Bowman upon whom the greatest fight was made by the Anti-Office Seeking No-Party-An ti-Wil mot-An ti-Proolama lipn Democracy will probably get 1000 majority or over, whilst S. F. Wilson’s majority will not fall below 2000. Mr. Armstrong’s Vote will be from 1600 to 1700, and this may be fairly set down as the number who support the President's Proclama tion of Freedom.—the greatest blow at the rebels since the war commenced. Hie election is nearly certain. The vote is exceedingly light this year, and will be found to be nearly 500 less than at last election owing to the absence of men in the army. * Following are the figures as far as received : M«J. for Armstrong, Maj. for Hal*.

Hughes. We desire our readers to bear in mind a few facts familiar to everybody hereabouts : That Sleeker and Barr, both indorsed tbe Resolutions of the Breckinridge Convention which nominated them, and that though these Resolutions which we printed at that time in tbe Aoiiaioh, were not quite so boldly treas onable as the aboye, yet iu spirit they were nearly tbe same. j That the Wellsbpro Banner at the instance of tbe Democratic leaders here, repudiated these Resolutions, and printed and indorsed the Res olutions of tbe Republican Union Convention which met at Harrjsburg ort. the 17th of July, following, which convention nominated Coch ran and Ross. ' That tbe object of .-this move, was to make the Republicans of this County believe that the leaders of the Democracy were really for a Union of all parties for tbe sake of the Union, and hence the cry of “No Party" was started. Our readers will observe that this was a very good “hand," but very badly played, for on the day of election wo, find the leaders peddling tickets for Slonketi and Barr, the Breckinridge Candidates, and they peddled no tickets —prin- ted none, sent outlnone, for Ross and Cochran whom they pretended to indorse, although Ross is a War Democrat, and never was anything else. We need add no more, for the record of this shameless trick is] complete. —lt ia but justice to the Republicans who were sought to be made the victims of this mix ture, that very few of them voted for Slenker and Barr, and it is but justice to say that there are many men wfclo still call themselves demo crats, but who bejieve in crashing out traitors everywhere, who [refused to lend themselves to elect these men. f The lesson remains. Lot the friends of Free dom and Good Government, profit by it. in the future ! From Hammond's Company. Frederick Md., Oct. 5, 1862. Dear ; - 1-l write to you under the light of the moot}, with no tent, midst the noise and confusion incident to the hours of the early evening in camp jlife. I sit upon the ground and write by thejlight of a candle, in open air, said candle being supported in n candlestick made of si bard cracker, which answers a very good purpose. If I now had the scraped horn which King Alfred used to keep the light from daring, so that he could mark the hours by its burning, I should do very well. But, now to tell you bow we came here in as short a story ns possible. When I wrote to you last, wo were at Camp Bayne, a few miles north of Washington. That was last Sunday. In the evening, murmurs were heard that wo were to counter-march to Fort Pennsylvania, to be stationed there to build fortifications and roads. This we did not like; we thought the hour for digging in order to defend the national Capital, gone by; and that we might now enter upon an active cam paign. Our Sutler, Mr. Tohor, of Tioga, ar rived that day, and we were glad to hear from home; and I judge that the were gener ally glad of his presence, for he furnished thenV on time till pay day. I had but just blown out the light, having adjusted my sleeping cap, more commonly called a “night cap,” that day received from one ever mindful of the want? of the absent,- when I heard the familiar voice of Col. Wright, calling for the captain, and an nouncing that we must have two days’ rations cooked immediately, and have our tente ready to be struck at 3 o’clock. Sleep was needed, but there was no sleep that night. Oh'. what a rush for the SuTers! Every body wanted about four pounds of crackers, and half as much cheese; and it took all night for them to get them. This was unfortunate for Mr. Ta bor, fur he had followed us at no little expense for transportation, and now we were to march, we knew not where. We were ordered to taka no baggage, but what we ourselves could carry. The boys were even to leave- their knapsacks, which was quite distasteful to them. It is un necessary here to describe the scene continued there, upon that distant camp, which wo bad so lately made our home. The sick were to re main behind with the tents and baggage, until further provision was made. Capt. Hammond was not able to accompany us, andlhemained in charge of things there. Tents were struck at the hour—all Were eager for the march. Col. Bayne had been ordered to report ot head quar ters ; and, I was informed, rode away through the lines across the Potomac; that returned in time to take command at 4 o’clock, when the words, “forward march,” was given ; the regiment having been formed in the dark, on the ground where we appeared on parade for the first time, the afternoon of Sunday. We moved along in-silence for a time, but soon the latent enthusiasm burst forth in cheers and'shng. We had given all the staff cheer after cheer, be fore starting, and midst the excitement I forgot my haversack. That made my prospects very fair; for a soldier needs nothing to eat I sup pose, if his dudes be ever so laborious, and his appetite ever so sharp. I find no trouble about appitite, as usual, and espocially after going 4 lor 5 days .with nothingto eot,, I know a great • many who would haw a better relish for food, -if they would cat lew.

Beliefs We marched bock to the soldiers’ pound, af ter dining, and had a jolly good time till four o'clock, when the train arrived oh whieh we, were to come to this place. We left some fif teen sick, orislightly indisposed behind, so oor company numbered about seventy. Soon we were on the move. Regiment after regiment left that day.' All'along the road, regiments were stationed to guard it, We stopped before the camp of a Sew York; regiment, which cheered the Old Keystone State, on learning where we bailed from* and'our boys returned'it with a will. The Empire greeting ihe Keystone State J - Each' having furnished an immense ar my for the defence of that government-which they are most ready and willing to defend in its’ boar of great peril. Arrived at the Relay House, we switched off to the west, on the B. &0. Rail Road. There is an immense water power on the stream we were now following, and good use is made of it, for there is one continual string of factories, where the rebels no doubt could have made a good draw, had they succeeded in getting them. Calico was plenty, and hundreds of handker chief waved in the air, a* we passed them.— Night set in. The car far the officers was vo cal with the music (1) of many who were too sleepy to resist the power of Morpheus. Our young Colonel occupied a seat quietly by him self. I had an agreeable talk with Major Ry on, who is much liked by his fellow officers for his genial disposition, and repartee. He makes a very fine appearing officer, and is spoken of in high terms. His counsel is no doubt of much value in managing the affairs of our reg iment, for he is a man of experience and intel ligence. Captain Chapman had been fortunate enough to find an old rusty sword about four feet long, with no scabbard; and it was made the sub ject of many happy hits. We *paused at the Monooacy, a moment; all was darkness in the car, and only the shadows of the distant hills ■appeared lit the solemn glow without. A shad ow passed and repassed the window where I sat. It was a sentina], marching his "lonely rounds." He was questioned with reference to the local history of the place for the past few weeks, and we learned from him some things of interest. Only a few days before, the infa mous rebels bad infested the place, and on their retreat, had blown up the Kail Road bridge across the Monocaey at that place. It was now rebuilt, so that we passed over in safety. Some six of them were killed in tho attempt. The superstructure of the bridge is iron ; powder was placed in the hollow pier ; and the report is said to have been heard fur many miles.—■ The 14th New Jersey was stationed there, and they retreated on the Rail Rnad. The iron lies in ptomiseuous heaps in the river* below. The bridge was probably a hundred feet from the water, and was a very durable structure. The sentinel was at first loth to converse, no doubt knowing well his duty, but probably thinking we were from the wrong district to be enemies, he became more communicative. All agree in pronouncing tho rebels almost without clothes, none uniformed, nothing to eat, and covered with lice. The rebels were sorely disappointed in the sentiment they met here. My lieutenant friend and I were strolling through tho city a day or two since, and seeing the Stars and Stripes waving from a window, we deemed it a sufficient introduction, and entered into conver sation with' a lady silting upon the broad stone steps, enjoying the twilight. There are 8000 inhabitants in the city. It is a very pretty town, fine buildings, almost without exception, brick. The streets are well laid out, buildings compact,; and presenting a business like appearance. Ij think the country about bore was settled at ani early date, j There are not mtiny slaves here. We don’t; see many of them. The soil sepms to be pro-j doctive, growing luxuriant Indian corn, stand-j ing from 12,t0 16 feet high. The lady informed us that the eecesh closed their doors against the rebels, when they came here. Some, however, raised the stars and bars, and a few Joined their ranks, some of whom have returned, while many of their men deserted, some joined oar* army, arid others fleeing to Baltimore. There was a great scramble among them when our 1 advance guard re-entered the town. Several: were shot in the streets, and others ran for dear life,, She kept a Union flag. Many buried,; and some burned them. The rebels tore up, our best flags. They paid for what they got in J confederate script. They seem to think it may be good some day. Some of our boys disposed. of the imitation of tbe seoesh money which, is manufactnred north, at quite a premium. It resembles the genuine. We arrived hero about 2 o’clock" monday night, 29th ult. Bivouacking, we rose from our damp beds at an early hour, and took a look around. The boys built a little fire, and smoked some of the beef, which wfiuld not be- so bad were it not for the salt. I slept that night be side tbe Rail Road on some boxes, which is no little improvement on the cold, damp earth, es pecially when you are not provided with rub ber blankets. Everything of ours was left be hind, and we were in no condition to make a campaign. I see no reason why we were not provided with some sort,of tents, camp kettles, and a decent allowance of baggage, before leaving the city. I think there is no reason.— 1 have-nothing but a haversack and shawl. I I can stand pretty hard fare ; but I believe that this continually sleeping out in the cold night, under heavy dews, on the cold ground, with no covering but a blanket, will undermine the very best constitution. For a few nights We can stand it very well. We are assured that we shall have these things before moving for ward, Monday afternoon, we were stationed on a green pasture, near the city. ,We were very awkward in breaking into column to stack our arms in camp. There was not much trouble pitching tents. The next day at evening, wo expected to march to Sharpsburg, but tbe order was countermanded, owing to our groat unfit ness for & campaign. Our guns are very infe rior*-we have nothing to oook with—no change of clothes, and have received no pay. Col. Bayne has tbe assurance of Gen. Paul com manding the division, that these things shell be righted before we leave here. We have now moved one camp abont one half mite from tbe city. We are' required to drill twice in company, and twice in battalion each, day, ’lf we can have the benefit of two weeks drill here, and in tbe meantime get thosejthibgs which are ~~i ta*S’* p w ■-‘ »«•»>'•#■ ~ ' " i'-",',] ' ygg “, i ~ . j actually needful to ourJieaUh amjl; efficiency, we shill be able to do pretty good asWice. ‘ * j To-day is Mopdayryeeterdsy morning, (Oot. .5,) Cut.

Jn the general hnspitalbere, I met and talked with a young rebel Lieutenant, of the first Vir ginia regiment, who has becriln the army since the inbeption of the rebellion. He was with Jackson while here, and marched.to Hagers town, from whence they retreated, and he was marched into the battle of South Mountain, where he was wounded quite severely in the h'ip. He was lying on the ground between the fire of the two armies, and was there wounded three times again. He thinks the war will not lasVlong. He speaks in high" terms of the re serves, who he says are gentlemen, and some of ftiem treated them as well as one conld a broth er,! He says he cannot again take up arms.— there are some 6000 wounded here, who are fefy well cared for. Many are rebels. Some of them arc hard looking customers •, others very bright and intelligent fellows. In this they are bothing different from our own army. Yesterday, Lieut. Bailey and myself, took a walk down to see the bridge across the Mono- Cacy. We saw where a rebel who was killed there, was buried. Some heartless soldier had put off his fingers, and taken teeth as memen toes, I suppose of their visit there. Parts of his body were exposed. We turned away with (iisgust. Taking a winding wood road, we came up the river, and on the way found some fchestnuts. They were scarcely ripe, and infes ted with worms. We have found nothing like JBenning’s Bridge, since leaving there. That.is kbo land of melons, peaches, and sweet pota toes. By the way, Col. Gibson sent word to head quarters that if McClellan wanted a regi ment capable of stealing Jackson’s army poor, jto send for us. This is what I heard. Jack eon has been through here, and I presume there jis nothing left taetenl. j t Our friends can’t expect to receive letters jfrom us very often, for we have nothing to jvtrite upon, nor anything to send them (letters) with.

Teachers are .expected to present themselves for examination, as far as possible,, in the District where they intend to teach. Each teacher should bring a book of a half dozen alieets of ordinaryi§ize note paper; also pen and ink. ' 3. By the instructions of, the State Super intendent„(ipplicants for a certificate, must pre sent testimonials of good ‘ moral character, or mo certificate will be granted, i 4. No certificate will be granted where the Average not come up to No. 3 ; and rarely, ijf ever, is it expected to grant one with a ‘■No. 4.” 5. Teachers intending to tench in the Com mon Schools-of this county the coming winter or summer, must attend, these public examin ations/ Should any individual intending to tench stay away, they will be debarred by the net itself from a private examination. The school law is explicit that “Superintendents should refuse to make private examinations, ex cept in cases of sickness or other equally satis factory cause ; and not then, unless applicants bring a written request from at least four mem bers of the board of directors who desire to employ them.” 6. The school law is imperative that Teach ers shall he examined before commencing school, or forfeit their wages. The School Di rectors will require a certificate to be produced before any cantraot is consummated with ap plicants for schools. 7. Candidates for a; certificate must take seats in the class the first examination they at tend. 8. By an amendment to tho School Law passed the lllh of April, 1862 (see Digest, p. 92,) the teacher’s month is fixed at twenty days devoted to ordinary instruction in the school-room, and each alternate Saturday, ns the Board of Directors shall appoint, toia Dis trict institute. Tho law strictly prohibits teaching on Saturday, j 9. It is recommended to School Directors to grade the wages of teachers, according to the grade of certificate they hold. This is but equal justice to all parties. Wherever adopt ed, it has produced good results. 10. It is a neglect of duty for Directors to leavtf the getting of wood to.lhe caprice of the patrons ;of the school. Most Boards of Direc tors carry out the law and provide wood. In a few instances more valuable time is lost to the school ten times ovef, than the cost of get ting wood. Wood furnished by district funds, taxes albalike ; if left to voluntary donations the whole burden falls upon the willing few. 11. ■'VP' ill Directors he as kind bo to See that the Teacher’s Blank Report books are distrib uted at! the commencement of school. In a few instances, Boards have entirely heg'ectod to furnish the books daring the term. This is a great neglect of official duty. 12. It is not legal,nor allowable for a Board of Directors to delegate the authority of hiring a teacher to some person not a' Director; nei ther should one Director hire a teacher or teach er? unless sneb action -;be speedily sanctioned by a majority of the Board can make a valid contract. 13. The practice of calling the; teachers and patrons together at some designated place for the purpose of hiring teachers, letting the getting of wood and transacting all business pertaining to the District, is a good one, and is eaVnetftty' WSMmißended to all BowdamiT 31 ihg adopted it. 01 **r* 1 14.

Mr. Hamilto was born in Alabama, and was a late team, sentative in Congress from Texas. He L Southerner and a slaveholder. Buthe halier in something besides slavery; and ralaei Ih* Union and the freedom of its inhabitants aor» than be does a system whiob is, has been, and always will be, essentially incompatible' silh republican government. . “I do not wish,” be says, “the Union-a» ip was in Texas.” Why ? Because be dislike, the Conatitution-as-it-is ? Far from it Mai because in the Union-as-it-wns in Texas ths Constitution-aq-it-is was constantly trampled under foot, and the very objecti of the Union despised nnd outraged, “Because, in eSsrt, 1 ’ as Mr.. Hamilton says, “because I might ay what Washington said, believing it; whatJtf. ferson wrote, and what all the good and grot men of that day believed ; and -nnder ths Union-na-it-was in Texas I should be stigas tized as a traitor, and meet a traitor’s dcoa. If 1 can enjoy the right of speech, tbep«| and inestimable right intended to be second to me by the Constitution, then/1 can bless lb Union.” But a Union that gags him, tii hangs him for claiming his constitution) rights, is a Union that he corses and denser bless. And who does ? Who does! Let every man remember that the bad mouthed bayers for the Union-ns-it-was do net mean the Constitution-as-it-is. Its most wend provisions were outraged in every State bow rebellious. No man’s life was safe below Me son and Dixon's line who exercised the right, guaranteed to him by the Constitution, of ly ing what he thought upon public affairs. Hi was insulted, hunted, hunted, hung. Mr. Hamilton telle the terrible tale for Texas. Nor only that, but free citizens and voters in It* loyal States were seized and sold into perpil ual slavery; an-i when Massachusetts sentt venerable lawyer to discuss the questionbeforf the Carolina Courts, he was mobbed andforwd to fly. Grant that citizens used their constitutions! right oUspeeoh in a manner “distasteful” to a certain class in the South. What then! Is the Constitution of the United States aobjectto the “taste” of a body of slaveholders! Wis -the simple plea of any speaker for the nslarsl rights of man more “distasteful” to a certain class at the South than a speech of Money ins Northern State telling us that ho and his friends would, of course, hang us if wo spoke at the South as he did at the North, and that j if he and his friends could not have their way they would break up the Union ? Ho tected, and properly, b-y the Constitution in saying what be had to say. But if ths“tawte" of his audience had done what Southern “tills always did in the Union-as-it-was, Mr.UiDtst would have been suddenly dumped into the nearest slave State, or he would hare b«n ! So the Constitution protected, ind properly, the man who was brought from Ten nessee as the grandson of Patrick Henry, and who driveled to honest and hard-working In hering men of the extreme happiness of limes, and the immense delight for hard-working tne> and women of having -their babies sold »t mo tion. . Does any body suppose that ihewretcwj stuff of this kind, insulting to humanity•* common sense, which was so freely spouted by slavery orators every where, was “tasteful to the people of the Free States! No; hullll free expression was a guaranteed righto! • people of this country under ths Constitute and that right, was perfectly respected- **> and often the right of saying snch more respected than that of expressing h>t the Declaration of Independence. Mr. , °*!' could say without danger any wherei in Free States, “I sm for dissolving the h nlo ° _ save Slavery.” But if Mr. Phillips said for dissolving the Union to save Liberty, was'-in personal danger. , , From that kind of Union-as-it-wns, m * 1 the moat sacred rights and the clesres p visions of the Constitution-as-it-is * or4 e * raged and violated, Mr. Hamilton, » holder of Texas, desires to be delivered, says he ; so say we all.
