HARRIZOIIII:O., PA
GATURDAY EVENING, NOVEUER 12, 1864.
TON. RESULT.
All our former published election returns
have been confirined. McClellan has carried
but three States—New Jersey, Delaware and
Kentucky—and it is remarkable that the three
States voting for him deprive the soldier from
exercising the elective franchise. If the sol
diere, in these States had been permitted to
vote, their electoral votes would have been
cast for Abraham Lineokrt
The majorities cast iffiOwenty States that
have - declared for Pe*.ii AIBPAW a‘t will exceed
4004000. Th 43, the largest ever, received
by any Presidential candidate.-
Enforce, the Law.
If the election of. My, Lincoln means any
one thing emphatically,' it is that the people
have mesolved to sustain , him while engaged
in the vigorous enforcement of the law. As
one of the humblest 'and the best friends of .
the national administration, welire forced to
admit that if Mr.. Lincoln was; 'deserving of
reproach for what might be. Oiled a derelic
-
tion of duty, it was his leniency in hesitating
to treat the traitors of the North with a proper
spirit of severity. He has forborne tti recog
nize the infer:Med as culpable as the armed
traitors: In. doing this, the President was
doubtless controlled by considerations of the
highest regard for the public safety. He was
perhaps induced to believe that leniency was
necessary to conciliate the desperation of 'a
powerful political faction. If this was the
controlling feeling which softened the vigor
of the President, in his treatment of northern
unarmed traitors, all cause for the continu
ance of the rose water policy has been re
moved. The people now demand the exercise
of stern power by those invested with civil
authority. We want the enforcement of the
law. We want even handed, simple, prompt
and vigorous justice. We want traitors treat
ed as criminals and not as mere political
offenders. We. want the men who encouraged
the precipitation of rebellion, held responsi
ble for its bloodshed, for its orphanage, and
its general misery. Mr. Lincoln need no
longer hesitate. the people want something
more than the mere show of a GOVERNMENT.
They want its action! They want its vigor.
They want a manifestation so terrible, as will
teach all classes of traitors that the Govern
' ment is an object to be feared, respected and
loved, and not ridiculed, insulted and de
spised, as it has been by the traitors of the
north. The people love the Government.—
Love it as much for its justice as the sternness
all know is lodged in some of its attributes.
The War Democracy.
We must not, nay, we have not forgotten
the War Democracy. These men, never for
a moment losing eight of their organization—
never for a day giving up their claims to the
proud title Of Democrats, syl sacrificed every
thing like party feeling, and nobly took their
limes in the ranks of the' mat Union army,
there to battle, and, if necessary, to die in the
defence of their country. The War Demo
cracy have crowned themselves with imper
ishable glory. They have earned and they
will receive the most sincere gratitude of the
true men of all parties who now rally to the
support of the Government. No set of men
had greater sacrifices to make while cutting
the trammels of party, than the War Demo
cracy. Old political associations that had
invested themselves with the most sacred
friendships, were discarded, broken up. for
the nobler work of serving the country. All
honor, then, we say, to the Wax Democracy.
They 'may indeed be regarded not only as
the defenders and upholders of principle, but
as the champions . of the Government.
Plow Sheridan Entered West Point
Lieutenant Coinmanding James Parker, Jr.,
of the United States gunboat lllaumee, re
ceived, when a lad, the appointment of a cadet
at West Point, from the member of Congresa
from his district in Ohio. Unfortunately, ,
Parker was too young to •enter the Acaderoyi
and his father, desirqua,that some one in hiS
town should have the -benefit of the appoint

a dry-goods store; was a lad, the son of
Irish parents, who, by his salary as clerk,
supported a widowed mother and sister. The
place was offered to him, but was at first re
fused, as he disliked to give up the clerkship.
Upon being, urged further, the boy consented,
and entered the military academy. To-day
he is in the Valley of the Shenandoah, and
his name is Philip Sheriffira.
THE ATTITUDE or THE MASSES OF PENNSYLVA
bas, is one eminently for peace, BECAUSE IT IS
UNMISTAHABLY IN FAVOR OF PROSECUTING THE

months, over forty,thousand men in Pennsyl
vania alone, have enrolled themselves as vol
unteers to assist in the establishment of peace..
This force has been recruited from a reserve
such as no nation in ilifYivorld pos sesses .
Heretofore there was no. doubt as to the valor
and the fitness of the men who entered the
army as volunteer soldiers . . The ranks were
filled up by good men. The great body of
the men composing the first organization of
the army, wtile they dearly loved their coun
try, and were willing to make any sacrifice for
its unity and honor, were still of the adven
turous and restless class, whO are governed by
their impulies for good or for evil. But the
men who are now entering the army are com

they desire to establish: peace—and the war
conducted by such material, will assume a

treason continue to punish traitors, •
"I Voted for Lincoln in 1861.”,
There are still men to be found who can
bomt that "I voted for Washington!" Of
those who voted for Jefferson or lladison,
many are known. But, in future days, it will
be a prouder fact to state, " I aided and voted
for AintAnnas Lniconu in theeventfril struggle
of 1864 !" Those who were misled into oppo
-*sition, can amend the . Matter only by giving
their aid and oomfoit to' the Grovermatni, and
by spurning the base demagogues who sought
to betray their country to its *is..
The Lancaster Examiner notes in that
county four voters for Lincoln, aged 91, 94, 96
and 98 years respectively. One of the Fie had
voted for Washington.
In Lewisburg, South ward, the three snr
•viving Soldiers of the War of 1812—William
Cameron, Charles Mans and Robert Lyon—
voted for Lincoln.
An Elongated ConntenaneeY"•
A well-known frequenter of Third street,
Philadelphia, stopped recently in a barber's
shop, close to the North, Atherican
sat in a shaving chair, drew a newspaper from
his pocket, an; instructed the knight of the
razor to take off his beard,!; . The barber was~
an African. He simply,Taphll: "Yes, boss,"
and produced his implement's . The customen
sat. down. He was' duly shaved.' His face
was wiped, and he arose, 'donnedhis coat and
hat.. "How much ?",_he asked iu a doloros
voice; as he adjusted his shirt collar. "Fif
teen cents, boss." "Why, I than - girt you
shaved for ten cents at this shop." "DM ar's
de average, sah," was the reply. "Ten cents
is de price of a shave in dis yer shop. 'Yon
come in here, sah, and read de news of Sher

inches longer dan , when you come in. If your

customer couldn't restrain a grin, though he
was a Copperhead, and the hit at him was
made by a "nigger." , He laid doin the fee,
and walked out.

LETAIJATORIC MEASUBES.-A Natches paper
says: A a few days since, a squad of:ebels
came to our lines under a flag 'oe , ttrise,
having in custody Mr. J. Lengsfield with
his wife and, six .children, who, Ji.fsl. ; Wen,
as it appears, after the usual routine,
,Of
imprisonment and confiscation of goods,
banished, " not to return to the Confed
erate States during the war." The family
were properly cared for, and General Bray
man, in pursuance of instructions concerning .
such eases, selected Judge S. S.. Boyd and
family to be sent to Brookhaven in return.
After,preparations were made for the depart
ure, the friends of Judge Boyd proposed to
pay five thousand dollars for the benefit and
support of refugees and citizens, who, like Mr.
Lengsfield, may be plundered and banished
from rebel neighborhoOds for beingloyal to
the United States flag and Government. Gen:
Brayman made the order accordingly. The
result is, Judge Bbyd remains at home, and
the new Mayor begins his poor fund, for the
winter, with five thou Sand dollars in the City
Treasury.

Tam CAT Aon.--,- i The , •palmy days for cats
were in the time of Egypt's power as a nation,
some - five hundred years B. C. They were
held there as sacred as dogs or crocodiles,
and death was the -penalty for killing them:
From their noctural habits and glossy fur, the
Egyptians deemed . them symbolical of the
moon, and a golden cat' was worshiped at
Syene. Herodotus tells uS some marvels
about them. "The Toms," it seems, in his
time, had a peculiar liking for . making away
with kittens—a very fortunate thing, too, or
the land would have been overrun with cats.
Crowning wonder of, all, when a fire breaks
out the sole care of the natives is to keep the
cats from it, to do whichthey post themselves
as guards around the burning house, and take
no thought of putting out the flames.
A divine impulse, however, says the chron
icler, seizes' the cats; they dart under men, or
leap over them, and fling themselves into the
flames then great mourning takeepossession
of the land. If a cat were found dead ha =Y.
one's house, the inmates had to shave 'elf
their eye brows. Thedefunct 'animals- were
carried into the temples, where they were
embalmed and solemnly deposited in the city'
of Bubastia. Specimens may be seen in the
British Museum. Very different is their fate
at modern Rome. A recent traveler tells us
they are there as -highly esteemed for culinary
purpoSes as are puppy dogs in China." If
you have a roast hare for dinner, you had
better not make too many inquiries as to what
kind of "pussy" it was before it came into
the chefs hands.

ROANOKE ISLAND, N. C., Nov. learn
that none of Lieutenant Cushing'A party are
prisoners. The paymaster was captured and
wounded in the shoulder, and themaster's mate
was killed. Lieut. Cushing has accomplished
a great deed, and has been the 'means of re
lieving a number of good, loyal North Caro
linians from distress and starvation.
After the destriction of the Albemarle, the
fleet under command of R. Macomb
proceeded up the Roanoke river, withiia a short
distance of the town, when they • came to ob.
structions, exchanged a few shots, and re
turned.
On Sunday, October 20, the feet proCeeded
to Roanoke river, through Middle river, above
the town, Where they shelled Plymouth with
telling effect.
On Monday morning Com. Macomb steamed
down the river, followed by the remainder of
the fleet, passed the town, and giving the
rebels shell, grape and canister to their he arts'
content, Macomb larffied one hundred men
from his ship, in charge of Lieut. Dewer. and
Paymaster Sands, who immediately charged
upon Fort Bateman, capturing about forty
prisoners. The rebels finding things rather
too severe, evacuated the town immediately.
We took forty pieces of heavy and twelve
pieces of light artillery, together with a large
quantity of small arms.
The road leading out of Plymouth, as far
aswe have been, was strewn with muskets,
haversacks, &c., showing a perfect stampede.
The whole garrison did not have stores
sufficient to last them 24 hours.
In the engag,ement one of the rebel maga-
zines was blown up by our boats, and set fire
to the town. All the houses on water street
were destroyed.
The town is now held by our gunboats and
a small land force commanded by Col. Ward
rof.
Glory to Cushing for so bra 4 se an act, and
glory( to Commander Macomb for following up
the example and relieving a large portion of
Eastern Carolina.
The above intelligence, was given us by
Lieutenant Longworth, of the Second Regi
ment N. C. Union Volunteers, who has been
in town and is thoroughly acquainted with
the whole proceedings.
