HARRISBURG, PA
TUESDAY MEND, IMBIBER la, 1864.
Dauphin, the Banner County
While our friends in the various counties
deserve great credit for their faithfulness to
the country and perseverance in increasing
the majority for Abraham Lincoln over the
October election, we must not forget. that our
own little county is deserving the nameof the
BANNER COUNTY. In October last the follow
ing vote was cast in this county, without the
soldiers':
For Geo. F. Miller, (Union,)
For Wm. H. Miller. (Cop.,) .
Union majority 684
In November inst. the following result was
obtained :
For Abraham Lincoln
For Geo. B. M'Clellan
Lincoln's majority ..
It will be observed that at the October elec
tion, the total vote polled in the county was
7,676, of which the Union men polled 4,180,
and the copperheads 3,49 G.
In November the Union men polled 4,927,
an increase of 747 over the October election.
The cops polled 3,826, an increase of but 330.
Notwithstanding this large. Union increase,
we have the names of more than sixty Union
men residing in 'the township of Derry, who
neglected to go to the polls in November, and
who would be ashamed of their action if we
were to publish their names. While this
noble township gave the rousing majority of
365, she might, by a full turn out, have given
450. Yet we find no fault with the rural dis
tricts. They have done their duty. and
grateful country will reward them.
We must, however, not forget the noble
city of Harrisburg. It is well known that the
whole city goverument here is in the hands
of a set of desperate politicians whose sym
pathy for rebels is beyond dispute, and not
withstanding the immense sums expended on.
the streets by the city government, and the
exertions made by men who will stop at
nothing, the following is the actual result in
the city:
OCTOBER ELECTION
Geo. P. Miller, (Union,)
Wm. H. Miller, (C0p.,).... ....
Copperhead majority
NOVEMBER ELECTION
Abraham Lincoln
Geo. B. M'Clellan.
Copperhead majority
This shows that the Union men reduced the
majority ONE HUNDRED AND ONE votes since
the October election. All the wards in the
city did their duty towards accomplishing
this result, but the glorious Second is
the BANNER WARD. This is the home o f
the Chairman of the Copperhead County Com
mittee, and also the lime of the illustrious
Secretary of tho tatz..tz central committee, and
it gave a Copperhead majority of FOURTEEN
at the October election, but at the last elec
tion it gave Abraham Lincoln a majority of
Eta-vas, making a change of 26. This is a
glorious triumph when it:is considered that
their whole energy was bent upon carrying
the ward.
Let it be understood hereafter that the
county of Dauphin has increased its majority
about sixty per cent. since the October
election, and if any other county in the State
has done equally as well (out of the vote
polled) let us have the facts.
The Nevi York gleetion.
Whatever may be the exact figures which
shall, in the official report, denote the IThion
majority in New York, enougn is kauwo for
us to set down to a certainty that the Empire
State is all right in her electoral vote. The
leading politicians of that State may call home
the resurrectionists they had dispatched to
every battle-field, who, in their new policy,
were not satisfied with the old plan ot body
snatching, but must resort to a policy which
sought to traduce the very honor of the brave
soldier who had died for his Country. Her
Governor may dismiss the emissaries he
sent to Washington with a view to quash all
proceedings against those who were under
arrest for the basest of all criminal charges.
The whole clique may well prepare for a quiet
retirement into the shades of the most private
life they can possibly discover. Such will
better suit the public taste, and will, ratite
same time, we should judge, be consistent
with the desires of those who had so basely
attempted to outrage the rights of a free
people.
There is no longer any. doubt that• New
York has vindicated her loyalty, and, by a
majority of almost ten thousand, declared
against the Belmont Chicago nominee. Every
effort that energy, ingenuity, or the basest of
fraud could suggest, had been . resortecl to, but
justice has triumphed, and New York has not
only declared for the prosecution of the war
and the restoration . of the Uniou, but has re
buked the traitor Seymour by electing an
honest man in his stead. We do not sympa
thize in the leastrwith those who lost money
betting on a copperhead victory in the Em
pire State, though we learn that even iii our
own city come of them have fallen heavily.
They must have yearned earnestly for the
triumph of a cause which would have looked
to the disunion of the country in the end.

"CHAS. L. PECK,
"ConetTonding SeCretary Union State Com."
;The Only National Party.
One of the grave charges against the friends
of Abraham Lincoln, in 1860, was that he
was a secti9nal candidate and a minority
'President, forgetting that if he was elected
at all, it was on account of the efforts, f trai
tors to break up the Democratic party_and di
vide the Union; and that if he received few
votes in the South, it was also because his
supPOrters were intimidated by - thepro-slavery
mobs. Now Abraham Lincoln is elected by a
large majority of the votes of the whole peo
ple of the United States, including, ell course,
the seceded States, and by a majority of the
electoral votes of all the States, adhering and
seceding. He did not get a Southern electo
ral vote in 1860, and now he carries Missouri,
West Virginia and Maryland, and has re
ceived an almost unanimous suPport in Lou
isiana and Tennessee, where the friends of
the Union claim the right to vote for Presi
dential electors. In 1860, but fifteen States
voted for Lincoln; in 1864; twenty-six States
gave him tremendous majorities. In 1860,
the gentleman who ran for Vice President on
the ticket with• Mr. Lincoln was 'a Northern
man. In 1864, the Union candidate for Vice
President is a Southern man and a Sciuthern
Democrat. These facts are eloquent, and
prove the great atrength of the cause for
which our armies Eire fighting, and its broad
and genial nationality.

Sharp Ca*►alry Fights on Friday
and Saturday.
The Rebels Driven Back with Severe Loss
They are Pursued Beyond Front Royal
9'. Guns and 150 Pirlsomers Taken
HEADQUARTESS SLUR ARMY CORPS, MIDDLE
MILITARY DEPATISENT, November 12.—A cav
alry skirmish took place yesterday afternoon,
between our cavalry under Custer and Merritt,
and the rebel cavalry. The heaviest firing
was on the left of our line. Acting under
orders previously issued, our cavalry com
menced falling back very rapidly when the
rebels first advanced. Continuing to advance,
the rebels came suddenly upon our reserve,
when they Were received with several heavy
volleys and hastily retreated.
The object of this reconnoissance on the part"
of the rebels was doubtless to feel our strength'
and ascertain our position on the new line
taken up by our troops onrthe 9th instant.
General Sheridan'.s army, now lies encamped
near Kearnstown, about four miles south of .
Winchester. The ground we now occupy is
the same On which General Shields fought
Stonewall Jackson, and finally drove him back
to Cedar Creek.
HEADQUARTERS SIXTH ARMY CORPS, ill the
Field, near Kearnstown, Virginia, November
12.—General Sheridan's change of position
from Cedar creek to Kearnstown has induced
the rebels to again advance down the valley.
At an early hour this morning skirmishing
was resumed with great briskness along the
whole cavalry line; but the rebels were rather
weak in numbers or spirit; for they could not
be induced to follow up our pickets, who in
obedience to orders fell rapidly back when
the firing commenced. •
This system of tactics not seeming to draw
the enemy on to our main lines, General
Sheridan sent off a large force of cavalry for
the purpose of coaxing a fight out of the re
bels. Our men are in high spirits at the pros
pect of having another fight before the cam
paign closes, and hope that the rebels have
brought a large number of guns down with
them.
MARTINSBURG, VA., November 13.--Import
ant news is just in from General Sheridan, up
to midnight. The strategic reconnoissance
by our cavalry on Friday caused the enemy's
cavalry, under Lomax, to advance against our
lines on Saturday morning. Considerable
fighting ensued, during which the enemy were
repulsed with great loss. General Sheridan
then ordered Colonel. Powell to pursue them
in their flight; this he did with the greatest
vigor and success.
He drove them through and beyond Front
Royal, and captured two guns, one hundred
and fifty prisoners, several wagons, and a
large number of horses. Our losses are •said
to have been considerable, as the fighting was
extremely warm for a short time. No infantry
was engaged, but Generals Sheridan and Tor
bert were both at the front in Person, with the
cavalry, and made very short work of the
fighting.
Colonol Powell conducted the pursuit very
handsomely, and fairly merits the success
which attended it.
The escort - which came in with dispatches
from General Sheridan last night vas fired on
by guerrillas, when just beyond Bunker Hill,
but they fled when the fire was returned by
our cavalry. The escort was composed of
some twenty-five of the 17th Pennsylvania Cav
alry, under command of Lieutenant Corse.
C a pt a i n Ira 13. Clatlin,. of 'the 6th Regular
Cavalry, hasbeen ordered to duty as Special

The Rebels Despondent Over Mr
Lincoln's Re-election.
FIGHT AT THE SPOTTSWOOD HOUSE
The Norfolk (Va.) Old Dominion of Friday
publishes the following letter, dated at For
tress Monroe, November 10:
"Yon will alWays have observed that whey
the enemy shows signs of weakness manifested
through the treachery of their deserters, it is
a sure precursor of something being in the
wind. The news of Lincoln's re-election was
received by the rebels yesterday, and it caused
a great depression of feeling. I was told this
morning that over eight .hundred deserters
came over in a body. This hegira took place
on the extreme right of the rebel position.
They were marched up to the office of the
Provost Marshal General and related the same
tale of sadness and woe that hangs over the
doomed city of Richmond.
"It seems that a number of these deserters
were fresh from Richmond, not having been
absent from there over -twenty-four hours.--
Despite all the predictions of the northern
press, the assertions of which had been can
vassed most thoroughly, the rebel authorities
believed the triumph of M'Clellan a sure
thing. The houses of Congress so believed,
and now they find their fallacy. Added to
the hopelessness of their cause, which is now
rendered doubly sure, the houses of Congress
are divided on the question of the employ
ment of negro soldiers in the army.
"Many quarrels have already privately
arisen, and many more are likely to arise.--
The Spottswood Rouse was the scene of a
fight on Sunday last between a member from
Georgia and one from Virginia, the latter
maintaining that negroes should be armed,
the former that they should not. The Geor
gian threatened a division of the Confederacy,
and said he would be upheld by his constitu
ents. Davis' opinion on the subject is not
known; he vacillates between consent and dis
sent.
"The Richmond papers advise it by all
means, and are using such pungent language
as to see no hope for their success unless it is
iminediately clone."

MOSFEMENTS OF THE REBEL ARMY-THE TEXAS
REBELS ATTEMPTING THE PASSAGE OF THE MIS
SISSIPPI TO ASSIST HOOD.
A dispatch from Gaines' Landing, dated the
7th inst., says that the rebels had again at
tempted to cross the river at this place• to
assist Hood.
General Reynolds, of the 19th Corps, has a
brigade there, and Osband's cavalry brigade
was momentarily expected from Vicksburg.
It was supposed that the rebels have a force
on the Mississippi side • co-operating with
them, and that We movement is, formidable,
consisting of the Texas, portion of the rebel
army, said to be under Magruder. But it is
not believed that a crossing can be effected.
THE MOVEMENTS OF SHERMAN AND HOOD
Apart from the rebel announcement that
Hood is marching on Chattanooga, the last
authentic intelligence received here is that he
had passed the Tennessee river, but had not
gone far beyond; and, even if he had done so,
he will probably find General Thomas', or
some other army in the front--at all events, a
sufficient forte to prevent him from making
Injurious progress. No dispatches have been
received from Sherman for several days past,
for the reason, as is supposed, that he is now
beyond the means of immediate communica
tion with Washington.
The part of the country in which he is now
operating will afford him ample subsistence
without the trouble of transportation, and by
this time he may be far beyond the point
where the enemy, in formidable numbers, can
do him harm. It is not known how long our
forces may continue to occupy Atlanta. This
will depend on circumstances soon to be de
veloped. Whatever may be Sherman's pro
gramme, gentlemen who are good judges of
military matters anticipate damaging results
to the enemy.

AFPAIRS ON THE MISSISSIPPI-CAPTURE OF CAT

The steamer Luna, from New Orleans on
the sth inst., arrived at this port to-day. She
discharged one thousand barrels of pork at
Memphis.
Thirteen tiansports were lying north of the
Phi tp river.
Th steamer Balurna was fired into when
off Rock Island. A gunboat was shelling the
woods off that place when the steamer Luna
ps ssed.
The Luna brought several hundred btdes of
cotton and one hundred barrels of coffee.
Several attempts of the rebels to crosh from
Texas, with cattle,
,over the Mississippi, for
Hood's army, have been frustrated by the
gunboats.- The enemy, having a main por
tion of his army, with a force numbering
about 3,000, had crossed the Black River. Col.
Farrar, commanding at Vidalia, started in
pursuit of them ; but the enemy, hastening
his movement, broke camp and moved his
cattle beyond the river. Farrar having dashed
on to a cross-road drove the Fnards, captured
one-third of the cattle, dispersed the re
mainder, and captured Brigadier General
Carver.
A. rebel flag of truce reached Paducah yes

FORTRESS Monnoz, Nov. 12.
Yesterday afternoon the gun-boat Wachus
setts arrived' from the port of Bahia, Brazil,
and brought the interesting intelligence that
tlYttt' , .porida was but a few miles behind her.
This announcement caused intense excite
ment, and it was not long before the news
spread Hie wildfire. The crews of the differ
ent men-of-war in the harbor manned the rig

wharves and buildings at Old Point was taken
possession of by curious observers, in order
to obtain a good view of the renowned rebel.

Invested in his floating home, to tremble and
quake, in his defenceless condition, before
this monster of the deep.
In a few moments the 'Florida". made her
appearance, steaming along at a very moder
ate rate of speed, and anchoring a few yards
in advance of the "Wachusetts." At a dis
tance the appearance'of the ex-pirate is by no
means prepossessing, having but two masts
(the mizzen•mast was carried away in the en
counter with the -- Wachusetts; - ) she reAem-
Vies, to a certain extent, our new steam reve
nue cutters. On a closer examination, the
lack of discipline and cleanliness, often spoken
of by released merchantmen, is plainly ob
servable, the decks being in sad want of holy
stoning, and the brass and the copper appur
tenances of certain portions of the- ship dis
played an air of neglect that was evident in
every part of the vessel.
Her armament consists of two 200-pounder
Blakely rifled, and four 68-pounder smooth
' bore guns.
A heavy salute of artillery from all the ships
in, the harbor, including the "Florida," was
fired to-day in honor of- the re-election of
Abraham Lincoln as President of the United
States.
Eastern papers speak of there having been
no opposition to the Lincoln and Johnson
ticket in West Virginia. Such was not the
case, as a M'Clellan Electoral ticket was in the
field, headed by George W. Summers. The
returns show an overwhelming majority for
Lincoln and Johnson in every county except
Wetzel. The Intelligencer estimates that three
quarters of the whole vote was for the Union
ticket.
ST. Loris, Nov. 14.—A dispatch from St.
Josephs says that Lincoln and Johnson re
ceived about 20,000 votes in Kansas, and that
McClellan and Pendleton received about 15,-
000. It is also stated that Crawford is elected
Governor ani Clark for Congress.

cause which compels them to do' so, we beg leave to men

Coal the article most extensively used for the tuanufac

now the same article costs $9.45. Lime, another item, was
formerly purchased at 9 cents per bushel; now we pay 20

merly purchased at 2 cents per pound; now we pay 6
cents.
Pips of every description has increaaed in price more
than one hundred per cent.
Fire brick, meters, rosin, &c, have advanced more than
two hundred per cent.
Labor and everything connected with the manufacture
of Gas has increased more than one hundred per cent.,
and the company is therefore rehrotantly compelled to add
60 cents to the price of Gas per 1 000 , cubic feet, fal and
after t e e above mentioned day. In addition to the above
enormous increase of inatertala and labor, the company
