THE L UZERNE DEMOCRACY ON TEE
SOLDIERS' VOTE.
It appears that the
. Democracy of Lucerne
wish to disfranchise our gallant volunteers. Be
cause these men who are now in arms against
Southern rebellion voted for the Union ticket—
against thepartizan Democrats of the Hakes and
Chase school, the followers of these latter would
throw out their votes, or enough of them, at
least, to elect the Democratic ticket.
The Return Judges, who met on Tuesday
week at Wilkes-barre, had quite a time. They
finally adjourned by making out two sets of
certificates—those by the Democrats rejecting the
Army vote—those by the Republicans receiving
it. In alluding to it the Pittston Gazette ob
serves :
"Be it remembered, that the Democracy of
Luzerne county in this year of our Lord, A. D.
1861, attempted to disfranchise the soldiers in
aims against the Southern rebellion. Stick a
pin there and keep it there."
A BROTHER OF MAJOR ANDERSON A PRISONER IN
THE SouTß.—The Hon. Charles Anderson, a
brother of the gallant Gen. Anderson, of Sum
ter fame, is a prisoner in the South, having
been arrested and confined by the rebels while
making his way North, for the expression of
Union sentiments.
Mr. Anderson has resided for some years in
Cincinnatti, where he stood deservedly high as
a member of the bar, and where he is univer
sally beloved for his numerous virtues and his
fine social qualities. Shortly before the break
ing out of the rebellion he retired from his pro
fession and removed to Texas, where he pur
chased a large tract of land and started a sheep
farm on an extensive scale. When Texas pas
sed the ordinance of secession, Mr. Anderson
disposed of his farm with the intention of re
turning to Cincinnatti, but he was stopped on
the way and put in prison, his Union sentiments
being well known. Mr. Anderson was a promi
nent Whig politician and a firm supporter of
Mr. Clay. He represented the Montgomery
district in the Ohio State Senate in 1842, and
has held other important offices of trust and
honor. He is a highly educated and high-toned
gentlemen, and is loved, honored and esteemed
where ever he is known.
Ma. BowAmmr, the Secretary of War under
the rebel governinent, is a member of a promi
nent social club in New York city. Since he
joined the enemies of the country, repeated at
tempts have been made, by loyal members of
the club, to have him expelled ; but as yet the
resolution has been laid upon the table by the
vote of the society. It was finally proposed to
let the matter rest, in the expectation that his
next dues would not be paid, and that he would,
by that fact, cease to have any connection with
the club. But when the time came round the
dues were paid, and he still preserves his rights
of membership. Mr. Slidell, who belonged to
the same club, was not so fortunate. No friend
advanced his annual fees to the association, and
his name was accordingly dropped from the
roll. Slidell, however, has now joined the se
lect junto who now hold a protracted meeting at
Fort Warren, and he may find that assemblage
quite sufficient to occupy his whole time and
thoughts.
THE LOUISVILLE JOURNAL says : We hear of
more reports from the confederate states than
the booming of our victorious cannon. The
secession press is alarmed, and lets out whole
some truths. The Raleigh .(N. C.) Standard
declares that "unless the movement (of our
naval expeditions) is stopped at once by the
strong arm of the confederate states, more than
half the counties of this state will be attached
to the Black Republican government before the
Union Congress meets." It seems too that the
public officers in North Carolina are as ready to
secede from secession as the people, for the same
paper says : "It is very evident that the state
authorities will never make a move in that
direction, owing to the reason that they are in
the same boat with the Unionist." This is
cheering.
THE TRAITOR BRECKINRIDGE.—The Louisville
Journal thus closes a scathing article upon John
C. Breckinridge.
His fate will be that of a traitor.,
In the last of the battle
Borne down by the flying,
Where mingles war's rattle
With groans of the dying,
There shall he be lying.
Monster of perfidy, ingrate and fiend, his
name will be eternally linked with those of
Judas and Arnold, and, when history seeks to
recount the damning deeds of those who have
entitled themselves to the execrations of man
kind, that name will be foremost in the scroll,
which was borne by one, who, in the very spirit
of the arch-demon, thought it " better to reign
in hell than serve in heaven."
WISCONSIN ELECTION.—The election in Wis
consin last week resulted in a Republican tri
umph. We are proud to know, that in no
state, which gave its full electoral vote to Lin
coln. and Hamlin, has a Democratic state ticket
been successful since in any general election.
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD IMPROVE.
MENTS-LILITENSE GRAIN DEPOT.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company is now
engaged in constructing a new grain elevator
on the Delaware, at Philadelphia. The work is
progressing rapidly, and all the iron columns
which are to support the bins have been put
up. Great care has been required in preparing
the foundations to support the enormous weight
which the building will have to sustain. Piles
have been driven into the ground about twenty
five feet and cut off smooth about six feet below
the surface. On these piles rest large blocks of
granite, which support the iron columns on
which rest the building and the immense iron
bins. The sides of the building are being filled
with brick work of an ornamental style, and
when entirely completed will be a fine specimen
of architecture. The lot has a front of 170 feet
on Washington avenue and 120 feet on Swanson
street, and the building will be sufficiently ca
pacious to store 475,000 bushels of grain, and
when increased to the size that it is anticipated
the business will require, it will hold 750,000
bushels.
The railroad tracks are laid so as to allow
the cars to pass into the building, and the grain
is taken from them and placed in large hoppers,
from whence it passes on an endless band to a
large pit in the bottom of the tower ; and from
here the grain is carried up by a series of buck
ets to a point about half way up the tower, and
from thence through hoppers, where the grain
is screened, measured, and weighed, to a pit,
connected with a series of buckets, which con
vey it to the top of the tower. From this point
it is distributed to the various bins. The main
bins are 111 feet in diameter, and averaging 45
feet high, constructed out of boiler iron, being
circular in form. The spaces between these bins
are also to be used for storing grain. There are
in all 90 circular bins, and 72 of the smaller
bins. The large ones are calculated to hold
about 4,500 bushels each. The bottom of these
bins are about 15 feet above the railroad tracks.
In conveying the grain from the elevator to ves
sels in the docks alongside of the new wharf, it
is drawn out through a valve, and falls on a
small conveyor, carrying it into another pit.in
the tower, from whence it is elevated into a
large hopper. From here it passes through an
iron cylinder about 24- feet in diameter, pi°.
polled by a screw into distributing hoppers,
from which it is conveyed through spouting into
the hold of the vessels. The full capacity of
the elevator for moving grain, may be estima
ted at 5,000 bushels per hour, in which, time 16
eight wheeled cars, each holding 300 bushels,
can be readily unloaded and the'grain stored in
the bins. There will be an engine of 40 horse
power on the eastern side of the main building,
to move the machinery.
IRELAND AND THE UNITED •STATES.
Again we hear of famine in Ireland. In some
districts the destitution and suffering is repre
sented to be terrible. Heretofore when the
people of Ireland were starving, the first and
most abundant relief came from this great Re
public. Now, while Ireland is suffering, the
United States are in distress. The hand of trea
son is uplifted. Great Britain—lreland's perse
cutor—nerves the treacherous hand. But with
all our sorrow and suffering, a kind Providence
has blessed us with abundant harvests ; provi
sions of all kinds are abundant. We have to
spare, and if we choose, can relieve the perish
ing people of Ireland. Why not do it ?
It is no fault of Irishmen, if British gold sus
tains this rebellion. It is no fault of Ireland if
the rebels receive their supplies of ammunition
from Great Britain in British vessels. It is no
fault of the Green Isle, if British steamers seek
to shelter and convey rebel leaders under the
British flag. The sympathies of Ireland and
Irishmen, are with the Union, in this, its great
est, grandest struggle for existence. Why
should we not return this good will.?. While
the government of Great Britain is doing all it
can to aid in the destruction of the Republic,
let us, from the abundance which God has given
us, relieve the perishing subjects of Great Britain
from starvation.
If we want to rebuke British intolerance, and
at the same time perform a mission of mercy,
we could not perform it more grandly and effec
tually than by shipping a few cargoes of bread
stuffs and provisions to neglected Ireland,
under the protection of the undimmed stars
and unsullied stripes of the still proud Ameri
can flag.
"PUNCH" ON KING COTTON.
The last number of Punch has a cartoon rep
resenting "King Cotton Bound, or the Modem
Prometheus." A strong old man, wearing a
crown and clad in flakes of cotton, lies extended
upon a rock, firmly bound in iron fetters, while
an eagle, hovering over him, with one wing
emblazoned with seven stars and the other with
twenty-seven, tears out his vitals. Punch has
made a mistake. King Cotton should have
been represented with his royal robes, commit
ting the Japanese act of " harikari"--or the
happy despatch. His own poniard has been
employed in striking home, and not the beak
and talons of the eagle. In producing a civil
war he has brought his reign to an end. Even
that life-long dependant and champion, the
Charleston Mercury, deserts the poor old mon
arch. It says :
" Cotton is not king in the absolute sense of
the term ; for, in the history of the world, no
monopoly has secured absolute power ; but it
does give us a-large and legitimate influence in
the commercial and financial affairs of the
world, and thus indirectly confers political
power. But this, like all other power, cannot
be safety abuted, and is stronger the more justly
it is used. It will not do, therefore, to assume
that the control of the cotton crop will enable
us to control the pride and prejudice and power
of all Christendom."
Only a few months ago the Mercury argued
that the whole dependence of the rebellion was
on the cotton monopoly, but now it urges a
moderation of the hopes of the expectants. Alas
for the poor old king ! Alas for his knights,
whose delusions are so rapidly breaking away !
GRAIN CROP OF OHIO.—The total wheat crop
of Ohio, for the past year is 23,640,356 bushels,
an increase of 10,294,512 over the previous year.
The corn crop for the same time is 91,688,704
bushels, an increase of 22,291,361 over the pre
vious year. -
Pennogivania Cleft Celegrapb, fritran afternoon, November 22 1861.
Captain Wilkes, the bold and responsibility
assuming Commander of the San Jacinto, who
caused a gun to be fired across the bows of the
British steamer Trent, brought her to and re
lieved her of Messrs. Mason and Slidell, and
their Secretaries, is now about fifty-six years of
age. Consequently, as "Jack Bunsby" would
say, he was once younger than he is now.—
Though every inch a sailor, and not often given
to the melting mood, the blind god once suc
ceeded in sending one of his shafts clear through
his rough sou-wester ' which found a lodging in
his honest heart. Thetbow from which the
shaft was speed hung in the eyes of a fair girl,
and straightway the jolly tar fell head over
heels in love. He prosecuted his suit with vigor.
The girl was "a lass who loved a sallor"—and
so smiled upon him, and consented to become
his wife. But the young sailor had a rival in
the son of a respectable tallow-chandler,
well to do, called Slidell, and young Sli
dell feeling considerably cut up by being
cut out, refused to accept "the mitten," but
not having spunk enough to throw down the
glove to, his sailor rival, contented himself with
"poisening" the mind of the "stern parient" of
the fair one, until he refused his consent to his
daughter's marriage with the bold Charlie
Wilkes, and insisted upon her giving her hand
to young Slidell, which after many protestations
and the customary amount of tears and hyster
ics, she did, and became "Mrs. John Slidell."
The bold Charlie Wilks did not peak and
pine, or let his melancholly feed on his weather
beaten cheeks, but went to sea and smothered
his grief in attending to duty and sustaining
the honor
,of his nation's flag, never seeing
"lady lass" again, nor meeting his successful
rival for her band and heart, until he saw him
standing a prisoner on board his ship, a traitor
to his country and a rebel against the Flag the
honest tar had spent his life in defending. Such
is the romance of war. We congratulate the
bold Charles upon having kt last "got more
than even."
Sailing of the Stone Fleet.—Thirty
Vessels to be Sunk in Southern
Harbors.
Correspondence of the Evening Post.]
NEW LONDON, Ct., Nov. 20, 1861.
The 'stone fleet, not, however, with pomp or
banners; sailed to-day. Twelve or fifteen vessels
departed from this port, all bound south and all
laden with stone. The crafts were old whalers,
some of them of the largest size, but a hard
looking set. They have spent their lives nudg
ing the icebergs, and have been industrious in
their vocation of seeking material to illuminate
the world and to make life tolerable at night to
those who'slept not. An immense quantity of
midnight oil•have they gathered in their day.
They go now to illustrate the ideas of corn
meree which prevail in the darker portion, girt
with sandbars, of our disturbed republic. A
screw is fixed in their bottom which can be
worked from the deck. When it is screwed out,
the water, in a stream as big as a man's leg,
comes in, and the vessel is sunk. The stone
anchors it at the bottom.
Our fleet is to be joined outside by a like one
from New Bedford, which will make the whole
number of the vessels about-thirty. Six thous
and dollars each have been paid by the govern
ment for some of the best of these vessels.
The fleet will be under the command of an
old sea-dog, of whaling propensities, who has
been appointed commodore.
In a speech made at. Camp Springfield, Mis
souri, Gen. Jim Lane, than 'whom no man is
more feared andliated by Border Ruffians and
Rebels, declared in reference to Slavery—the
Pandora box from which has issued most of our
national troubles—as follows :
"My creed is, Let Slavery take care of itself. If
it can survive the shock of war, let it live, but
if between an upper and nether millstone it be
ground to powder, and the winds drive it away,
it is not for me to gather up the dust again. I
do not propose to make war upon slavery, but
upon Rebels, and in the meantime to let slaves
and slavery take care of themselves. An oli
garchy more cruel and proscriptive than ever
scourged and cursed a nation, ancient or mod
ern, has brought on this war for slavery ; and
if we are required to protect, or in any way
help Slavery, then we are required to co-operate
with the enemy, to help him, to defend him,
and work for the same end. Can we place our
selves thus in an alliance with our deadly and
barbarous foes, and at the same time conquer
them, subdue them, crush them ? When lesser
contradictions are reconciled, we will think of
harmonizing this."
Comment is unnecessary. The Federal. Army
marches to crush out rebellion and treason and
let slavery take care of itself.
RIFLED CANNON FOR THE WAIL --Three field
batteries of Wiard's steel rifled cannon, com
prising eighteen pieces (six 12-pounders and
twelve 6-pounders) with forty-two carriages,
including caissins, battery wagons and forges,
have recently been completed in New York for
the War Department, and two of the batteries
have been sent into the service. These batteries
are apparently of the finest description.
The gun-carriages are in some respects pecu
liar. A principal feature in their construction
is the extraordinary elevation which may be
given to the guns. For ordinary smooth bored
ordnance fifteen degrees are allowed, and for
rifled pieces twelve are deemed sufficient, and
the carriages are made accordingly ; but in the
case of these batteries an elevation of thirty
five degrees is provided for, thus adapting them
for all or nearly all the purposes of shellimg.
Another peculiarity consists in the use of iron
flanges in the construction of the nave or "hub"
of 'the carriage wheels. The flanges grasp the
spokes or arms diverging from the nave, and
may be tightened as the wood shrinks with age
or
. wear. Between the spokes at the base are
wedges properly secured, which may also be
forced inward.
An agent of the State of Ohio has ordered
similar carriages for four batteries of Wiard's
cannon, with the understanding that the num
ber may be increased to ten batteries.
OPEN CONFESSION IS GOOD FOR 1113 SOUL.=A
young man who was about being married pre
sented himself to the priest for confession. He
appeared rather embarrassed, and did not' eem
to know how to enumerate his errors. "Come,"
said the father, kindly, "Do you ever tell false
hood?" "Father, lam not a lawyer," proudly
replied the young,man. "Did you ever steal?'
"Father, lam not a merchant." "You have
not committed murder?" "I am a doctor,"
conscientiously replied the penitent, casting
down his eves.

sailor promptly replied, "to shoot secessionists,
not to break colts.' The reply so amused the

Gen. Meigs Not to Take the . Field,

STEAMERS RUNNING THE REBEL BLOCKADE
New Rebel Battery at Possum Nose
WASHINGTON, - Nov. 22
While some gentlemen of distinction are de
sirous that Gen. Meigs shall take the field, it is
known that the Government, appreciating his
eminent qualifications for the discharge of the
extensive aed very important labors devolved
on him, is not inclined to transfer him from the
Quartermaster General's Department to the
performance of other public duties.
Much speculation continues to be indulged in
'relation to the Mason and Slidell question. So
far as can be ascertained the Minister of her
Britannic Majesty's Government has taken no
action whatever upon the subject, but will
probably await instructions. Nor has there
been even an informal conversation between
him and the proper department concerning it.
Those who are intimately acquainted with Lord
Lyons believe that in this as in other matters
he has observed his usual. discretion in refrain
ing from premature expressions of opinion.
The Wyandank ran the blockade last night
and reached Indian Head about moonrise, and
the nsvy-yard this morning.
The steamer E. B. Hall also ran the blockade
downward last night, having on board a large
quantty of ammunition and- ordnance stores
generally.
Two schooners loaded with wood ran the
blockade successfully on Wednesday night.
The enemy is applrently at work on a new
battery at Possum Nose, which is far above the
others on Mr. Otterbacks land.
