PENNSYLVANIA
Vote at the October Election for Congres
sional Representatives. •
The following may be regarded as the offi
cial vote of Pennsylvania, for Congressional
Representatives, at the October election. In
compiling this vote, we had to be gov
erned by the returns as made by the different
Prothonotaxies, and as the majority of these
officials made no distinction in what was
called the "home" and the "soldiers' vote,'
the-aggregate of both votes are' only given in
the tabular statement below. " In order ie - get
the "home" and the "soldiers"' vote, circulars
have been issued from the State Department,
requesting the different Prothonotaries to hir
.
nish statements of the polls in the camps con
taining Pennsylvania soldiers and in , the dirt
°rent election districts throughout the State.
—lt is now conceded in official circles, that
It will be impossible to ascertain correctly the
result of the. "home vote" at the October
election, for the reason that many Prothono
taries failed to make the necessary distinction
in their returns. ThiS being the case, bets
which were made on that result, can never be
fairly decided. Indeed, we understand that
in Philadelphia and elsewhere, all such bets
are being withdrawn.

Majority I 13,859;
Simon Cameron. I „
The Columbia County Republican, referring,
to an article which appeared in the TELEGRAPH
of a late date, in acknowledgment of the
services of Gen. SiWU Cameron, as the
Chairman of the Union :State Central Corn;
mittee, thus adds- ite testimony to what we
then attested : "" - • -
• To his sagacity, energy, and. wisely directed
efforts are we indebted for `tile great victory
we all rejoice over. 'We well understood and
frilly appreciated the wisdom of the course he
adopted. We felt that the swelling up of the
aggregate home vote was of no consequence
whatever in comparison to securing local ma
jorities in as many Legislative,. Senatorial and
Congressional Districts as possibl6. In these
we have made great and important gains. We
have not only largely increased our Congres
sional delegation, but we have secured a large
working majority in both branches of our
• Legislature. This will insure us • the next
United States Senator. For these glorious
results the People of Pennsylvania are very
much indebted to the distinguished gentle
man Whose-name heads this article.
—What is here so candidly admitted by the
Republican, the Chambersburg Aepository ob
jeets to, with the affected sarcasm that "none
but a fool" could write such an article as was
published in the Tv.r.zonsms some days since,'
referrimg to the motives whiclicontrolled Gen.
Cameron in his management of the October
election. The Repository distorts our asser
tion when it seeks to make us say that Gen.
Cameron had risked defeat at one election,
that he might insure victory. atanother. The
_Repository refers to the brilliant victory in
other States, in October, mid then fiercely' de
mands to know why the . aame rule did not•
produce the same result there as here? Our
only answer is, that in other States the Union
men were not divided by petty personal spites,
and that there, unlike here, there were no
malcontents ready to sacrifice every political
good to gratify any personal objection to
those wielding the organization of the party
struggling for the country. There were men
in our own ranks so base, so completely pos
sessed by their own self-estimation, and
rankling with such petty spite snd jealousy, as
to be ready to jeopard the male in October it
such a reselt would have landed to the mortfi
cation and disgrace of Gen. Cameron--
No man in Pennsylvania understands
this truth better than A. B. Pri'Clure. But
never mind that. Gen. Cameron then knew
ala still knows what he is about. And What
is still more gratifying, he knows who would
jeopard the flag of the party to which they pro
fess to belong on account of principle, in order
to impair his influence; while such as these also
begin to understand what he means, when
he enters a contest for victory. Of course
we feel withered by the sarcasm of the Repos
itory people, but it is fortiirkite for us that
• the giant M'Clure never eats what he 'kills.

THE RESULT OF THE CONTESTMt the polls is
an immense advantage to the national cause.
It expresses the will of the people upon the
great question of the rebellion, plainly and
boldly. It will encourage our armies and in
cite our soldiers to go on' in a career of vic
tory. It is worth more than a battle won, for,
it shows that the policy of the country is fixed
and unrelenting. Had the result been other
wise, the hopes of the loyal - would have been,
cast down, our brave defenders would have
felt that their efforts had been in vain, and
that there was no sympathyleliong their fel
low citizens in their privations and dangers.
They could not have struck new blows with
the vigor of resolution when they felt that
they were only risking their lives in what
their countrymen had declared at the polls to
be a useless war. They may rejoice, as every
patriot will rejoice, that the Union is not to be
abandoned, and that the authority of the
Government will be restored over the revolted
States at any cost.
THE Quern VoLume ox Acnuouvron4 being
the second volume of the regular' series
of the Census publications, is in the press,
and will be presented to Congress early in
the coming session. In addition to the tables
of agricultural productions, the work will
contain a full review of the progress of agri
culture up to the present time, and present
an exhibit of the improvements in agricul
tural machinery, as well as of the . advance in
agricultUral science and its results on our
productions. It will also contain a history of
the grain trade of the United States, domestic
as well as foreign, and persent much general
information of interest to the farmer and in
valuable to the statesman.
A COLORED NATIONAL PIANK. —We under
stand preparations are in-progress among
efficient and energetic parties for the estab
lishment of a National Bank for colored de
positors at Philadelphia.. The movement
will be accomplished, in call probability,
within a short time, and we have tio doubt
it will lead to similar `establishments in seve
ral of our large cities at an early date. The
importance of such institutions, in these days
of large payments of bounties to cclored sol
diers, and of the improved pecuniary condi
tion of this class of our citizens generally,
will, upon consideration, be patent to all our
readers.
DISTANCES IN SHERMAN'S CONTEMPLATED !
Kui.ca.—From Atlanta to ' Augusta, by railr',
road, is 171 miles. From Augusta to Charles
ton, f 37 miles. From Atlanta to Macon, 103
miles. From Macon to Savannah, 190 'Miles.
From Augusta tn, Savannah, 132 Miles. The
country from Atlanta toward Augusta is quite
rolling, and in places rocky, with plenty of
streams and springs, and abuudatide
woods and forage 'Tor an army. It is real
ly a well settled farming country ; Tlncra p are
but few swamps, and the roads generallyt ars'
good.
NEWSPAPER CHANGE.—It in stated in Washo
ington that Thurlow Weed, the veteran-editor
of the Albany Evening Journal, is 'nowi in
Washington, negotiating the purchase 'of the
National Intelligeneer, which, when acquired,
he will make a •repository of State papers,
statistics, political matters and current news.
Mr. Weed has the ability to Make and con
tinue a first-class journal, and the. , ./ntelligeucer
occupies a desirable position for acquiring
that sort of information, than which none
will be more carefully sought and studied in
the future.
lOWA THE BANNER STATE. --Lincoln has, swept
lowa like a hurricane. Every county heard
from shows Union gains, and the grand , ma
jority, including the soldiers' vote, will diceed
50,000. Some estimates place it as high as
60,000 to 70,000. lowa has furnished over
60,000 men for the army of the Union, and
her people at home are as loyal as her soldiers
are brave. She has done better at the ballot
box, in proportion to her Population, than
any other of the Western States, and has fair
ly won the Union banner of the Northwest.
WE OBSERVE, by foreign advices that paper
from corn-husks is made in &Istria by a Gov
ernment establishment. The ten-cent notes
of the Government are printed on that kind
of paper, and large quantities of it have been
purchased by private parties. Very beautiful
specimens of this species of paper can be
seen at the Agricultural Department. The
discovery of the invention is one of immense
interest and importance.
MAJOR GENERAL SHERIDAN', EA many people
suppose, does rank where Maj. Gen. M'Clel
lan left off, when he resigned. Sheridan
ranks from the date of his commission, Nov.
8, 1864, if his appointment is confirmed by
the Senate, of which there is no doubt. This
places Little Phil, the last on the list of Ma
jor Generals in the regular army, Maj. Gen.
Halleck being the first.
A YOIING man belonging to. Andover, Maine,
by the name of Poor, walked forty-two miles
to cast his first ballot in the late election in
that State. It is hardly necessary to add. that
he gave his first vote for the'Union cause.

THE GREAT SHERMAN EXPEDITION
The Force at His -CommaniL
THE. ROUTE HE 15 GOING.
What He is to Accomplish.
•No. Rebel Forces in—His Front.
- Nasvm:3u2,.Nosember 15
It has become well known through. the
North, that Sherman has started on an, import
ant expedition from Atlanta, but the-cOnject
urea which have. been formed,relative to its
character and destination have been so sari.
one, that but little is really known concerning
it. It should have been kept entirely secret ;
but there are other leaks than newspaper cor
respondents, through which almost everything
reaches the enemy in a remarkably brief
.period. In this instance, two staff officers got
drunk, and blabbed the whole thing—at least
as far as they knew anything about it—in al
most•every saloon in Nashville; and I have it
on the very best authority, that a major-gene
ral, while inebriated, revealed all he knew
three, weeks since ; but, who he is,.Y do not
know.
Under all these circumstances, I deem it
altogether proper to give such an outline of
the movement as will not interfere with any
of Sherman's plans.
EIMEMEI
The army which left Atlanta consisted o
the following troops
14th Corps
15th Corps
17th Corps
20th Corps
Cavalry .
Total
Guns
The cavalry are well mounted, the best
horses formerly in this section having been
sent them.
SUBSISTENCE
Sherman has beim' chiefly occupying his
time in laying in a full supply of .hard bread
and beef cattle;- and he has with him of the
former sixty days full rations, and several
thousand head of the - battle. For all things
else he will depend on the country over which
he is to pass. His animals can subsist well..
Corn and sweet potatoes are abundant. Dur
ing the week ending on the sth inst., h,e gath
ered in 1,760 wagon loads o'f corn, 436 loads
of sweet potatoes, and a few horses, without
sending his foraging parties more than'thirty
miles from Atlanta. He could manage to
live tbr six months without communicating
once'with the great North. In reference to
his cavalry, he feels certain of his ability to
obtain horses enough to keep good his original
stock; and perhaps he may be enabled to
mount some more men.
ATT. , 4NTA
I,You have heard a great deal about the
proposed destruction of Atlanta, Atc. But
that is all bosh. Sherman's motto is: "Re
move all obstacles to success; permit no
wanton destruction of life or property;" and
it is upon this that he has recently acted. He
has rendered Atlanta untenable; has destroyed
such buildings as could have been made
valuable to the enemy, but has harmed no
others. .
lE=
A portion of the army left Atlanta on the'
morning of the 9th, and followed the railroad
to.,Macon destroying it as it proceeds;" the
collar= will take• • Milledgeville in its way, and
it is probable that the cavalry will attempt to
release the Union prisoners.
The second column started on Saturday
morning last, and goes direct to Augusta, the
chief msuufacturing point of the Confederaey,
and'one in which nearly all the powder used
by the Southern army is made. This will 'be
reached in about twelve or fourteen days.
At this point the whole army will concen
trate, and then move on one of three points,
as Sherman shall deem most proper. These
are: Savannah, Charleston or Beaufort; but
I know that if nothing occurs to change his
present plans, he will go to Beaufort. He be
lieves that Savannah, with the railroads
- through Georgia cut, will be perfectly harm
less, and there will be no advantage in hold
ing it. The same may be said of Charleston.
Let Sherman advance to Branchville, twenty
or thirty miles out, and that plsee is cut 'off
effectually.
To capture either Savannah or Charleston,
fortified as ttkey are, wquld take time, even
though not Strongly g4rrisoned, while the
moment the army reaches Beaufort, it meets
supplies in abundance, and ships to transfer
it to any point it may be made most useful.
This I knina to be his plan at present.
However, it iitak become necessary to make
Agnsta a new base, and in that case Savannah
must be captured; but Sherman now believes
that he can as easily make one on the sea coast,
and in the meantime destroy all the railroads
in Georgia' nd South Carolina, so effectually
as to render them worthless during the war.
Unless ' therefore, unexpected obstacles are
met, he , will reach the ocean at Beaufort, in
about N or 40 days.
THE ENEMY.
He will meeet no enemy on the way. , The
Georgia milita are very harmless, and Ow in
number. There are, at Savannah, about 2 ( 000
troops, beside city militia; and in, no ether
part of Georgia are there .any men, except
cavalry and guerrillas, and these are not
numerous. . •
No force can be spared to meet him.
Thomas can take care of Hood, and Lee can do
nothing but defend himself against Grant and
Sheridan.
We shall have no further communications
from Sherman; we shall soon hear from him
through rebel sources. A few days since he
telegraphed' a "good-bye" to his wife, and
told her not to write again till he reached the
ocean. I. G. N.

The vote, under all the - circumstances, has
been large, and shows the feeling of the people
to be deep and wide. They have voted for the

SPRINGFIELD, Nov. 12.
To Major General Pleasanton:
I have just returned from Cassville, and will
forward my official report of the compaign in
a few clays: No one has fired a shot at the
eneiny since the battle of Newtonia, where
they gained great athianage over Blunt at first,
but any command got up in time to turdthe.
. enemy's right the tide of things.
'The. enemy:lost very largely. inGinen and
horses in Northern , Arkapsas and, the' border.My idea was, attd, is now that When we got
him below Newtonia, and the region of grain,
mills, and cattle,-wc should not crowd him any
more, ?nit rather - Make an effort to hold him
in, this land of stervation, , as we would a gar
rison out of supplies, until his armyrbroke up
and divided. Deserters were very numerous
while Price was in this section, but we have
seen none that, have left him since he was
pushed off towards his supplies.
My own view is that all the efforts of Gen.
Curtis to drive the enemy—and they have
been great and entitle him to creclit—have
been to our detrimentand the enemy'd advan
tage, for I believe one half of his army would
have deserted north of the Arkansas had it
not been for. the fear of the pursuing foe.-r-
The pursuit has been expensive; but the
enemy letd , lsiffeied badly, and all'should be
satisfied, I suppose. My dispatches from Gen.
