. The result of the election is briefly summed
up by the Harrisburg Telegraph of last Mon
day. “Wa have chosen fifteen Union members
fc the next Congress, counting Mr. Bailey as a
friend of the Administration. He was suppor
ted on that principle by all Republicans in the
district, and opposed hy a regular Breekentidger
candidate, Mr. Glosabrenner. Among those
that are elected as Democrats in Republican
districts, are Messrs. McAllister, from the Blair
district, and Dennison, from the Susquehanna,
who are also pledged to render a cordial sup
port to the Administration.
‘‘The Union men -will certainly have a major
ity in the Legislature on joint ballot, thus se
curing a United States Senator, and we expect
the Union State ticket is also safe, unless our
strong Republican counties in the north and
west have too many men in the army, and that
their majorities are thereby too much itetfuced.
, “The loyal cititens at home and abroad can
now see for thetnaelvea what party does the
fighting. Ail the Lpcofoco counties poll knore
than their usual majorities, while our vote is
reduced in Republican counties by the absence
of the voters in the army. No wonder that the
garty is opposed to the soldiers’ vote.”
By reference to our table of Official returns,
it will be seen hnw hopelessly the Democracy
are beaten in this county. Had their leaders
allowed the issue,to bo made fairly on the Pres
ident’s Proclamation, there would not have
been anything left of them but a grease spot.
The State Ticket gets over two thousand riisjor
ity; Mr. Bowman over 0. F. Taylor, gets over
IuOO majority in the district, whilst S. F. Wil
son runs ahead ; of the ticket and beats Socesh
A. Backus in etery eounty in 'the District.—
Backus and Dr. McCoy probably gone to
St. Mafy?xU) make a nejv copy of “them Reso
lutions” to be'seut with Frank Hughes’ to our
Southern Brethren when this State goes but of
the Union.
—Hon. Jas. T. Hale, who was nominated
and supported by the Democracy of this Dis
trict, fur Congress, is the present member, and
is probably re-elected by,a small majority over
>tr;iArmstrong the nominee of the Republican
party. We opposed bis election because we be
lieved that all the friends of the Administra
tion and of the Proclamation of Freedum should
be a unit in the election cf a man known pub
licly to be in favor of both ; and we opposed
him because bis election would be claimed ns a
triumph of the pro-slavery democracy over
both. In this we were not disappointed, for
the democratic papers of Lycoming in announ
cing the result, claim Hale's election ia large
letters as “Abolitionism swept out of Lycom
ing County,” “The President’s Proclamation
Repudiated," Ac, Let us see about that, and
let us see just bow much of o pro-slavery vic
tory these jubilant wire-pullers have to crow
over. Jn 186 b, (April 26th) Hon. H. d. Blake
of Ohio, offered in the House of Representa
tives the folio Wing Preamble and Resolution :
Whereas, The chattelizing of humanity and
the holding of persons as property is contrary
to natural juStioe and the fundamental princi
ples of our political system, and is notoriously
a reproach to,our country throughout the civi
lized world, and a serious hindrance to the
progress of republican liberty throughout the
nations of the barth ; Therefore
Resolved, That the Committee on tbe Judi
dietary be, »hd the same are hereby instructed
to inquire into the expediency of reporting a
Bill giving freedom to every human being, and
interdicting slavery wherever Congress has the
Constitutional power to legislate on the subject.
Jaa. T. Hale voted for the passage of this
Resolution with 59 other Republicans, many
of bis own party, ws are sorry to shy, either
dodging orivoting among the 109 iNays by
which it was lost. At that time these papers
now crowing over his election denodneed him
as an abolitionist.. And except that be- pat
himself inter the hands of known.pro-slaveryites
for rc-electiOn there is nothing to show that he
has changed his opinions of slavery since thst
time. We Would like to have the Lycoming
Gazette answer whether the Blake Resolution
or the Proclamation of Freedom hurts its feel
ings the mjjst. If Judge Hale is true to hia
onvictionsj to his past record, to the Procla
mation, ami to the Administration which is
sued it, the victory will hardly be visible to the
Gazette; hut if’ ho is to be the contrary,
the Gazette, may crow loud and long| and with
good reason. We can only wait and see. t
The Tribune of Monday sums uji the result
in other States as follows : .
•In Ohio, the Democratic State j Ticket is
elected, and 14 of the 19 Representatives in
Congress are claimed on the same side. We
lose three Or four by a very few votes, and one
other, it :s believed by fraud. The Legisla
ture chosen last year (Union) bolds over, and.
will elect n U. S. Senator for six jreors— not,
we hope, in place of Benjamin F. Wade, but
IVado himself.
In Indiana, the vote on the State Ticket is
close, but jire think the wrong side has it; the
Representatives in Congress appeal! to stand 6,
Union Republican to 5 Democrat, though the
vote in two Districts (Colfax’s and Mitchell’s)
is close, and wo may have last obe of them,
but probaily have not. The Senate is Repub
lican, the'House Democratic. ,
In lowa, tee six representatives in Congress
are ail Republican—a gain of four {(additional
Members under the new census.) Hiram
-Price beats Dennis Mahoney (now in Port La
fayette) by 4,000 majority. The majority of
the Republican State Ticket is reported at 10,-
000. The soldiers from lowa in Itbe Union
armies ore to vote, which will add largely to
this majority. *

hot the leader* do, fend it It thair purpose that
tell.
There hae been no ml gain to the aide that
includes all the most sympathieer* with the
Rebellion, we knotr;' the apparent gain, hat
been caused bJr the enormoe* disproportion of
Btpnblioant and Union War Democrat* who
bare volunteered and gene to the war. The
Pennsylvania Army veto last year (bowed
this; so did toil Illinois Army vote laet Spring;
hot the disproportion of Republicans who bavo
volunteered under the lata heavy call* ia im
mensely : larger than before. We shallgive
Thirty Thousand less majority to Gett.Wads
worth in tbie State than we would if hd man
bad gone from. it .to the war since July. But
we must mate op by energy and industry
a part of this heavy loss.
There is b nothing new in this effect of the
War. In the War of 1812, several States
were carried repeatedly by tbe Federalists be
cause of the preponderance of Republicans
who had veldnteered for the War. The loss
was, however, but momentary, and the States
came back to their old faith with a stronger
emphasis on ’ tbe return of their gallant sons.
So will it be in this case. Nobody could off*
peot thatthe disciples of Yallandigham.Cox,
Ancona, VoOrhees, 4c., would volunteer in
equal numbers with tbe Republican eonstitu
eots of Bingham, Gurley, Grow, Stevens, Col
fax, 4c. - Mr. Colfax alone loses over Three
Thousand majority by the volunteering from
his district; and So it is with others of like
faith. But let ear Generals allow their soil
diera a fair chance to crush.cot the Rebels in
arms against tbe Government, and it will be
light work thereafter to deal with their virtual
allies in the Free States.
TSS SBAJT.
Ths Draft took place on the 16th inat., all
over the State of Peaaeylvania, except in the
city £>{ Philadelphia, the commissioners of that
county not having the rolls perfected in time.
In this coanty, as in all others in the-State,
everything went off peaceably and quietly, al
though in some portions' efforts were made by
evil minded men to induce disturbance and re
sistance.
Two hundred and thirty-fire men were draft
ed by Commissioner Emery in the manner
prescribed by law. The names of those liable
in each township were writteu upon separate
ballots and placed in • revolving ballot box
prepared for this purpose. Ur. H. S. Archer
acting for the Sheriff drew from this bos one
ballot—whioh-was read blond by tbe Commie*
sioner and recorded, —and so continued draw
ing until the quota of the district was filled.
Much credit is due to Mr. Emery for the able
and impartial manner in which he bat dis
charged hie duties. Many men are drafted
who can be illy spared by their families,
whilst on the other bend thany ere not drafted
who could -hare, been spared just as well as
not, and the county would not have suffered
much by their absence. We trust that the
new Legislature will make it their first bus
ioess to revise and perfect, the Conscription
Laws of the State. Following are the names
of those drafted in this County. Tbay are ex
pected to start on Friday for Harrisburg;

THE WAR HEWS.
We have received Richmond and South. Ca
rolina paper* to and including those of the 11th
inst. We haveroom for nothing more than-'a
reference to their contents. The Richmond
Whig acknowledges a defeat, at Corinth, which
it characterises a bloody reverse. Thirteen
Dnion prisoners, confined in Castle Thunder,
Richmond, attempted to escape a few nights
sinpe, and though they succeeded in getting
out of the prison, were recaptured. The crew
of the schooner Fanny Elmpre, captured by
th« Rebels at Cedar Creek a week, ago, inclu
ding Capt. J. Smith, reached Richmond a few
days since. A resolution has passed the Rebel
Senate, declaring the authority exercised by
Provost Marshals over citizens,illegal and void.
The Rebel army in Virginia is represented as ;
suffering severely. The yellow fever continues
to rage violently In Wilmington, N. C. Eleven
hundred Union troops hav& landed ,at Jackson
ville, Fla. The Enquirer indorses a commuoij
cation urging upon slave-owners on the border?
in viewof President Lincoln’s Proclamation of
Emancipation, to remove their slaves to the in
terior behind the Rebel armies. ' The Enquirer
also prints the comments of the Northern
press on the Proclamation, and also Gen. Mc-
Clellan’s order to the Army of the Potomac.
A force of two three thousand rebels, under
the renowned Stonrt, crossed the Potomac at a
point far above the right'wing Of General Mc-
Clellan’s army, and pushed rapidly bn through
Mercerburg to Chambersburg, Pennsylvania,
reaching there at six o’clock on Friday evening
10th. About eight hundred entered the totvn,
the remainder remaining. a mile : away. They
helped theUiselvea to boots, shoes, and clothing,
giving Confederate paper in some casfes for
pay. On Saturday mprning they burned the
Cumberland Valley Railroad Depot, and two
warehouses containing a stra’l quantity of Gov
ernment-stores. .Then they rejoined their
main body, and moved off toward Gettysburg.
They borrowed er exchanged horses whOrdvcr
they oonld, and seem to hath been entirely
successful in getting such articles as'they most
needed. No violence was done to individuals,
and no resistance was made by the people, at
least not until they bad gone from Chambers
hnrg. Near Gettysburg some farmers en
trapped one of the mosstroopers, and that was
all the resistance experienced. : There is a ru
mor that they had a fight When they crossed
the Potomac, on Friday morning, but it is
doubtful; indeed, the place of their. Grossing
is in doubt—tsome accounts say at Hancock,
and others at Dam N0..9, several miles belqw.
A Special dispatch from Monoeacy -Bridge fon
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, • about four
miles south* of Frederick City)- says that the
rebel cavalry passed eight miles below Mono
cncy, on Saturday night,'and took breakfast at.

Exorbitant Prices. —The war tax is made
an excuse among business men for adding ma
terially to the prices of all goods. The impo
sition upon any article of a duty or tax, must
as a matter of course increase its price to the
consumer, but the increase should be only to
the extent of the additional cost of the article
to the dealers. There! is good reason for be
lieving that many retailers are dishonestly
charging extraordinary prices for articles upon
.which the excise is not imposed, under the pre
tence of merely clearing themselves' therefor,
and have added ipuch mare than its amount to
the price-of certain articles, of daily consump
tion. Families who are paying more fur goods
every day than (hey have heretofore been
charged, should look well to this very impor
tantmatter, and not be cheated or imposed up
on by tricksters.' Copies of the new tax-law.
can Ibo obtained at the News room, and it is
the lluty of every man to , keep posted, as he
can yery easily do by a mouient’s calculation
with, the law before him—and be able to calj
culate with tolerable accuracy what should be
the increase in the price of any commodity he
may wish to purchase. ' When an article is
taxed 10 per cent’, ho should be willing to pay
.10 per cent, in addition to the prices of a few
months ago. There are many things upon
which there is no tax. These of course should
be sold at the old prices. As this system of
taxation is to be continued for years, every
man should study it well, and know just how
his business interests are to he affected by it.
• Gettysburg.—What a noble example was set
before all true Americans by the citizens of
this) famous old borough I When it was ru
-moijed.in, town the other day that the Rebels
were approaching, there was no thought of
surrendering to the Confederate rascals among
her people. The people mustered instantly,
with the best arms they could find, went out on
the turnpike in force under command of a gen
tleman of some military experience, who de
ployed them os if they were skirmishers to a
heavy force. , They opened a brisk fire on the
enemy os soon as they made their appearance,
succeeded in turning them, killing two wound
ing a number of others, and taking two prison
ers'. Gettysburg will be.known in tbs-history
of this warns the towu, that would not .surren

Tae Battle of loka. —Gen. Hamilton, in
hispfficial report of ( the battle o| luka says v.

2,800 xnen met and conquered a rebel force of
11,000 on. a field chosen, by Price, and a posi

advantage inuring to the, enemy.
