It appears that the Democracy of Luzerne wish to disfranchise our gallant volunteers. Be cause these Men who are now in arms against southern rebellion voted for the Union ticket against thepartizanDemocnta of the Hakes and Chase school; the followers of these latter would throw out their votes, or enough of them, at eleet'the Demoemtic ticket. The Return Judges, who met on Tuesday week at Wilkes-Ware, had quite a time.. They limply 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 Lamm county in this year of our Lord, A.D. 184.1, attempted- to disfranchise the soldiers in auns against the Southern rebellion. Stick a pin therejind keep it there." , A BROTHER OP MAJOR ANDERSON d PRISONER IN its SOUTH.—The Hon. Charles Anderson, a 140 her of the gallant Gen. Anderson, of Sum tei: feme, 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 Oincinnatti, 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 wail 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 &TM on an extensive scale. When Texas part 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 olky. Be 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.

But when the time came round the iii4eB 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 narike was accordingly dropped from the roll.

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 flve 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 will be a fine specimen of architectare.' 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 bnshels of grain, and when increased to the size that it is anticipated theinisiness 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 theni and placid faliuge hoppers, from whence it passes on an endless' bind 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 rip thotituver; and , from thence through hoppers, -where the grain is screened, measured, and •weighed, to a pit, connected with a series of ' buekets, which don vey it to the top of thetower. fetal this point • it is, distributed to the various bins. The main bins are 111. feet in diameter, and averaging 45 feet high, oonetructed•cint Of boiler iron, being' circular in forte. niffSpaces tame& thiiie bins are also to be used for storing grain. There are in all 90 circular 'bins, and 72 of the snuffler bins. The large ones are calculated' to hold about 4,600 bushels each. The hottOns of these bins are abont'ls feet above the railroad tracks. In conveying the'grain from the elevator to Ves sels in the docks ifoiageide - Of the new;wharf, it. is drawn out , through: a, valve, and falhi 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 c7linder about 2.}- feet in diameter, pro -pelled by a screw into distributing hoppers, from which it is conveyed through spbutifiginto the hold of the vessels. The full capacity of the. elevator for moving -grain, miry be estima ted at 5,000 bushels per hour, in whichtiine 16 eight wheeled cars, each holding 800 buithels, can be readily unloaded and the grain'stored in the bins. There will be an engine of• 40 home 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 producing a civil war he has brought his reign to an end. Even that life-long dependant and chairiplori, the Charleston Mayeury, deserts the poor old 'mon arch.

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 pi his shafts clear through his rough sou-wester ' which found a lodging in his honest heart. The bow from which the shaft was speed hung in the eyes of a fair girl, and straightway the jolly tax fell head over heels in love. lie prcsecuted his suit with vigor.' The girl was "a lass who loved a sailor"—and so smiled upon him, and consented to become his wife. But the young sailor had a rival in the eon 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 'Anent" of the fair one, until he refused his consent to his daughter's marriage with the bolcLCharlie Wilkes, and insistednpon her givinwher hand to young Slidell, which after many protestations and the customary amount of tears and hyeter ics, she did, and became . ."Mrs. John Slidell."

Correspondence of the Evening Poet.] NEW Losnok; 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 smith and all laden with stone. The crafts were old whalers, :ome 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 slep,t not. An immense quantity of midnight oil MtVe - theygathered in their day. They go uow to illubtrate the ideas of com merce 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, mimes 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. Gen. Jim. Lane on Slavery. In a speech made at Camp Springfield, Mis souri, Gen, Jim Lane, than whom no man is more feared and hated 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, Le 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 itaway, 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 it 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 gliallo3 with our deadly and barbarous foes, and at the Serail 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 troika and let slavery take care of itself. • &MID CANNON Pon Trin 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 cakoina, battery wagons lad ;forges, have recently been completed in New York for the War Department, and two of the batteries have been sent into the service. These i bsteriea 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, thns adapting them for all or nearly all the - purposes of shelling. Another peculiarity consists if/ the arse 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 vredges properly secured, which may ' , also be forcedinward. An agent of the State of Ohio has ordered similar 'carriages for four batterksof Wiard's cannon, with the understanding that the num ber may be increased to ten batteries...

He appeared rather embarrassed, and did not seem 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?"

Gen. Meiga Not to Take the Field, Lord Lyons and the Arrest of Slidell and Mason. STEAMERS RUNNING THE REBEL BLOCKADE New Rebel Battery at Possum Nose WABmIIGTON, 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 and 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 sFeculation 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 abtion whatever upon the subject, but will probably await instructions.. Nor has there been even an informal conversation between him and.the proper depirtment concerning it. Those who are intimately acquainted with Lord Lyons believe that in tikes in other matters he has observed his usual discretion in retrain ing from premature expressions of opinion. The Wyandank ran the blockade last night and reached Indian Head about moonrise, and the navy-yard this morning. The steamer E. B. Hall also ran the blockade downward last night, having on board a large quant.ty of ammunition and ordnance stores generally. Two schooners loaded with wood ran the blockade successfully on Wednesday night. The enemy is appArently at work on a new battery at Possum Nose, which is far above the others on Mr. Otterbacks land. • FROM OLD POINT BALT/KORB, Nov. 22 The Old Point boat has arrived, but brings no news.
