ledge the part
which the Governor -and L beaas of Depart
ments, lititydrillouinfort and the city, authori-,
ties, with the people generally at Harrisburg,
took in - the • rcception and" 'welcome of the
Pentizivania :Reserve' Corp's; - yesterday. It
was a, reception in all respects worthy of the
Corps and the city: It was spontaneous and
sincertn: byation such as only a, grateful
people' cO i nlkpffer to their brave defenders.—
The. Committee of Arrangements who had the
affaiiin charge, deserve special acknowl
edgments., scarcely "time to organize,
they workedmight and flay; every member as
it *ere constituting a sub-committee, each of
whom labored zealously for the success.of the
whole. movement. The result proves what
concert of .aetion can do, when there is a de
termination to carry out '''any plan. In this
instance our .people did themselves i finite
credit by thonoringthe remnant of the Reserve
Corps. And welittve no doubt whatever, that
among the eiciting and - stirring recollections
of the rendezvousing of troops at this post,
the raemoyery of the reception of the Reserve
Coriis evet be pleasing, and gratifying
to all concerned.

The Presidential election will call out nearly

loyal State,. except New ~T.ersey, vote
heavily for the Union ticket. Fremont, if in

could not possibly obtain more than 300,000
votes.; on the contrary,, his poll cannot, in
all probability, reach one-third of that num

gleaned the following facts :
Lee's army is in front of Richmond and is
arranged in the shape of a triangle. Grant
confronts him. By this.you will observe that
there is noescape.for Lee. ---
There was heavy firing on all of Friday, but
there was none heard on Saturday.
Lee is slowly, fallink back, sullenly meeting
hislate, and entrenching himself as he slides
backward.
Lee's base is now within three miles of the
