The Alleged Election Frauds In Indiana•
The result of the Presidential election in
Indiana—a majority for Lincoln showing a
large increase upon Morton's majority in Oc
tober—shows on which side the frauds in the
October election, about which so loud an out
cry was made by the Copperhead press, were
perpetrated. In October the State was colo
nized by large numbers of imported voters,
the friends of the Indiana "Sons of Liberty'
from Illinois and other States, in order to
carry the State for M'Donald. it the Presi
dential election these voters were compelled to
stay at home; or, what is more probable, the
State election in Indiana having been lost,
voters from that State were colonized in Illi
nois in order to carry the latter State for
M'Clellan and Robinson, and thus save one
State to the Copperhead party. But this de
vice failed, in spite of the invasion of illegal
voters. We predict that the !nil returns from
Indiana will show a diminution in the Cop
perhead vote, as compared with that of Octo
ber, proving either that the State was invaded
by Copperhead voters in October from other
States, or that the same class of voters have
left the State to vote elsewhere—or both.
Speech of Col. James A. Rhin
Col. James A. Ekin, of the Cavalry Bureau,
was serenaded at his residence, in Washing
ton , city, a few evenings since, when he
made the following brief but excellent speech,
which was loudly applauded:
Fxri.ow Orrizass:—Yon will please accept
my acknowledgments for this compliment.
It is.gratifying to see you under such auspi
cious circumstances. We have passed through
an exciting political canvass, and we meet this
evening to rejoice over a victory unparalleled
in the history of the country, and which is of
equal importance to any achieved by the brave
and gallant forces of the Union, from the
taking of Fort Donelson to the capture of At
lanta.
In no former contest were the issues so
plainly and distinctly stated. On no former
occasion were they so freely discussed and so
thoroughly understood; and the country has,
by a vote almost unanimous, declared in favor
of the glorious and sublime principles enunci
ated by the great Convention which assembled
at Baltimore. The verdict of the people had
been rendered. Thd nation has declared its
confidence in Abraham Lincoln, with what
earnestness you can bear witness.
The people, from Maine to California, have
proclaimed, in language that cannot be mis
understood, that the rebellion shall be put
down, and that liberty shall reign supreme,
scattering its blessings far and wide through
out a land consecrated to freedom.
Have we not, indeed, cause to rejoice? Hal
lelujahs and thanksgiving will be heard
throughout the land, which will be taken up
by Garibaldi and his compatriots, John
Bright and the friends of freedom, throughout
the nationalities of Europe, and everywhere
throughout the world.
In congratulating you upon this auspicious
result, of which historians will speak in pol
ished phraze, and wonder that, in the midst
of a rebellion of such tremendous magnitude,
a victory so peaceful, so grand and decisive
should have been achieved by.the ballots of a
free and intelligent people, may I not express
the ardent hope that our flag may continue to
wave in triumph and glory, appropriately hail
lug it with the beautiful words of the poet--
"Forever float that standard sheet?
. Where breathes the foe but falls before us
With freedom's soil beneath our feet,
And Freedom's banner waving o'er us."
Sherman's Expedition.
We augur well for the Sherman expedition,
to which'the public attention is now so gen
erallydirected, from the fact that so little is
known of its details. Conjecture may fix the
destination of that branch of the army at a
dozen different points with the same prospect
of reliability, yet we cannot see why one spec
ulation should be more plausible than another.
lie may be going to Savannah, or Charleston;
or Beaufort, but his destination can only be
tally ascertained after he shall have arrived
at Augusta, and the right of his army have
moved fOrward by command.
Gen. Sherman keeps his own secrets. lie
has but little confidence in mankind gener
ally, and prefers to make public to just as
smalla degree as is possible what he intends
to do. There is no doubt that his movement
is a bold one and that it may change the
course of the entire campaign. Its very se
crecy indicates this much. The correspondent
of the Boston Journal, writing from Nashville
under a late date, relative to Gen. Sherman's
movements, says:
Rumors have come from the South so often,
by so many different mouths, of the possible
evacuation of Atlanta, and of Sherman's new
change of base, that it seems to be a probable
fact. It is said that Sherman found in his
foot race after Hood that he could almost sup
port an army south of Rome by foraging
alone, and accordingly has made a bold dash
on Montgomery and Mobile. Alabama is dis
affected;
and it is believed that it needs only
the presence of an army in her central coun
ties to demonstrate the fact in a tangible
method. Chattanooga is to be the base.
By this movement Atlanta becomes of no
strategic importance. But its destruction
may be necessary, in order to prevent its re
suming somewhat of its former power, by the
reconstruction of lines of railroad now torn
up, of which it was the starting point and the
point of departure.
Between leveling down a town and losing
thousands of loyal lives in a second attempt
to capture it, there is no likelihood that Sher
man will hesitate a single moment. He wears
gauntlets, not kid gloves. He knows that
war is cruelty, and implies not conservatism,
but annihilation.
The tearing up of the track from Atlanta to
Chattanooga will be a sad blow to the rebels,
who cannot probably supply material to re
' construct it. and thereby transport their
troops westward rapidly.
Now, I give these rumors and reasons on
what I regard as good authority; but vouch
neither for the accuracy of the statements nor
the soundness of the explanation. As lam
neither a soldier nor a military student, I re
port ;merely, and leave criticism to others.
Whatever may'be determined upon as the
destination of General Sherman, it certainly
is g great enterprise. The end to be achieved
is doubtless most important. The distance
to be traversed is very great, and the diffLcul
tiee to be overcome much more extensive,

more of so large a force since the war began.

Augusta tc Cb.arlerton. 121 miles; tc Savannah
136 miles.
Gen. Hooker on Tuesday's Victory
Gon. Hooker was in Toledo, Ohio, recently,
and the people, surrounding him, extorted a
brief speech, from which we quote the follow-
Everything looks bright for our country.
The work which the people accomplished the
day before yesterday will do more to put down
this rebellion than anything done before. It
was the greatest 'victory of the war.
The hopes based upon the peace party of the
North have long been the chief prop of the
rebels. They have been struggling along
against defeats and difficulties for a long time
in the hope that the Presidential election of
1864 would bring them relief. They well
know that armistice and negotiation mean
nothing less than separation and dissolution
of the Union, and hence. their dependence
upon the peace party.
• The managers of the Chicago Convention
are dangerous men. Ohio sent one who claims
to have put into the platform of that Conven
tion the declaration that the war was a "fail
ure." That man claims to be a Democrat. I
never was anything else than a Democrat, but
I repudiate all such as him. He never had
a drop of Democratic blood in his veins. I
am satisfied, from what I heard in Chicago,
that one-half of the Convention that nomi
nated M'Clellan might be indicted for trea
son. The name of Jeff Davis was cheered
there oftener than M'Clellan's. The Demo
cratic party never failed to stand by its coun
try in times of trial and danger, and never
will. The only Democracy now existing in
this country was represented at the recent
meeting of Wirer Democrats of New York.—
They spoke my sentiments.
Ido not rejoice in this result because I am
so much a friend to the President, as I do for
the success of the cause he represents, and
I would support any man for the sake of the
cause. •
CATHOLIC CLHEUVAIGHN VIRTUALLY EIRTIPT
FROM WirrITABY SERVICE. —By a recent deci
sion of the Secretary of War, Catholic Cler
gymen are virtually exempt from the perform
ance of military daty. The decision was
made in the case of four members of the St.
Louis University, who were drafted and noti
fied by the Provost Marshal. An appeal was
made to the Secretary of War, who ordered
their release on parole, to report when called
upon by him. This virtually exempts them.

Gov. YATES FOR THE U. S. SENATE.—One of
the happiest events of the election of last
Tuesday, is the success of the Republicans in
Illinois, in carrying both branches of the Le
gislature in that State. This secures two
most desirable results—first, in turning of
the notorious demagogue and doughface,
Dick Richardson, out of the United States
Senate, and second, the probable filling of
his place with that sterling and able Unionist,
Governor Dick Yates. •We have heard no
other person mentioned as Richardson's suc
cessor, and in this connection, although we
are not immediately interested, no , other
would Vrobably give as much satfsfaction.—

The reticence of ' the rebel newspapers re
garding Sherman's movement is considered as
favorable, since it indicates that Sherman i
accomplishing that which the rebel leaders do
not wish known any sooner than is absolutely
necessary.
General Butler and Thurlow Weed•were in
conferemee with the President to-day. nem
Butler's views in offering peace propositions
to the South are endorsed by leading men
here. President Lincoln has expressed him
self as cordially in favor of such a course, for
if such propositions are rejected by' the rebel
leaders, save on the recognition of the Con
federacy, the South will be divided and the
North reunited. .
If the Democracy of the North are once as
sured by the result of such offer that the
South will not come back into the Union,
then they will have no excuse for not uniting
with the Administration in crushing out the
Rebellion. We are also considered to be in a
most favorable position to offer terms of
peace, since we have recently gained a great
moral victory, and are in a most prosperous
military condition. That such a policy will
be adopted by our Government is not im
probable.

Advices from New England are that Mr.
Fessenden will be re-elected Senator from
Maine, and that Henry Wilson will be re
elected by nearly a unanimous vote of both
Houses of the Massachusetts Legislature. The
Senate is solid, but there are six members out
of two hundred and eighty in the lower House
against him.
Secretary Welles has completed his report,

of his diplomatic correspondence in type.

naval officers here, and is unable to go to sea

GENERAL POPE'S CAMPAIGN IN THE NORTHWEST
General Pope, in submitting his official re--
port of the operations in the Department of
the Northwest for the past year, says, in set
tling a peace with the Indians he intends to do
away entirely with treaties, a system which is
always attended with frauds upon the Gov
ernment and the Indians. His plan is based
simply upon the understanding that the In
dians behave themselves and do not molest
the whites, and that the whites shall be made
to deal fairly with the Indians, and not molest
them in any way.
The military authorities undertake to force
good conduct on both sides, and will have the
power, if not interfered with, to do so thor
oughly. He says the Government may safely
dismiss all apprehensions of Indian wars in
the north-west.
An extensive strata of excellent coal has
been founo at Fort• Rice, one vein being six
feet thick. The coal field extends towards the
sOuth-west, and it is supposed outcrops on
the slopes of the Black Hills.
The existence of this great coal field half
way between the Great Lakes and the Rocky
Mountains, is a fact, the value of which can
not well be overestimated. Aside from fur
nishing fuel for the navigation of the Upper
Missouri River, it is a controlling element in
the location of a railroad across the Great
West to the Pacific.

OCCURRENCES IN THE VALLEY ON MONDAY AND
On Monday last another victory was gained
by General Torbert's cavalry near Newtown,
but after several hours manceuvering and
skirmishing, witnessed, by General Sheridan
and most of his general officers, the rebel cav
alry fell back to and through Newtown in
confusion. During the time of the engage.
ment General Early was advancing with his
infantry, and had reached .Middletown, when
he met his retreating cavalry and halted. A
reconnoissance was made on Monday by our
forces as far as Cedar creek. It was ascer
tained that Early had crossed the creek during
the night, and was in occupation of Fisher's
Hill, from which he must have began his re
treat to Lynchburg, if a former dispatch is
correct:

During the present campaign in the She

commanded by Gen. Merritt, has capturedll

GENERAL EARLY'S BLACK FLAG
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.—Brig. Gen. Tyler
has forwarded to the Adjutant General's office
the black flag captured from Gen. Early's
command last August, near North Mountain.
He says, "the flag was in charge of two rebels,
and was set np against a tree while one of
them went in search of water. C. H. Marsh,
a detective, who had been watching the flag
from nightfall, determined to get it; if possi
ble. Springing upon the man left alone, he
secured him, took the flag from the pole, and
brought the flag and his prisoner safely
through and within our lines. '

The tin-clad gunboat Rattler was recently
sold to the rebels by her commander, at Home
Point, below here. •My information is rather
indefinite, but it is said her commander had
so disposed his men on the boat as to prevent
resistance to her delivery. Small boats ap
proached her on the night she was to be de
livered, but the subordinate officer on board
had his suspicions aroused, and fired his re
volver. This frightened the rebels away, and
the affair was subsequently investigated, when
it was discovered that the commander of the
gunboat had received $200,000, and other
payments were to be made in cotton.
The commander was arrested, but escaped
and declared he would command a privateer
and give the Yankees h--1. The rebels int
tended to use - the Rattler and capture the
gunboat Bragg.

Harrisburg Gas Works.
HARRISIMMO, Nov. 12, 1864.
e t N AND after the first day of December
NJ/ this company will be under the necessity of increas
ing the price of Gas to $3 50 per 1,000 cubic feet. There
are many reasons which compel this company to make
the increase; and in order to inform the public of the
cause which compels them to do so, we beg Leave to men
tion the following facts, viz:
Coal, the article most extensively used for the manufac
ture of Gas, was formerly purchased for $3 85 per ton
now the same article costs $945. Lime, another item, was
formerly purchased at 9 cents per bushel; now we pay 20
cents.
Retorts and ether coatings extensively used were for
merly purcti*Sed at 214 cents per pound; now We pay 6
cents.
Pipe of every description has increased 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 reluctantly compelled to add
50 cents to the price of Gas per 1 0 000 cubic feet, on and
after the above mentioned day. In addition to the above
enormous increase of materials and labor, the company
pays a tax of 20 morns on every 1,000 feet of Gas manu
factured, to the United States Government, in addition to
the usual license. The last Legislature has also laid a tax
of 'rims mat =cr. in addition to the taxes heretofore paid
on capital stock and dividends. These increased taxation
alone amount to more than one half of the increase per
1,000 feet.
