:: pailg Etiegrapt HARRISBURG, PA FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 2, 1864 Bide for the Sale of the Public Lands De.. voted to Educational Purposes. Yesterday was the time fixed for opening the bids for the sale of the public lands ap portioned by Congress and set apart for edu cational purpbses. A largo number of bids have been received, but in the absence of the Auditor General, Mr. Slenker, (detained at home by sickness,) they were not opened. The commission charged with the disposal of the lands then adjourned until Monday next, and ordered a notice to be served on Mr. Blenker of the fact. THE Tosicco RUMNESS. —A. large meeting of people interested in, the tobacco business was held in Baltimore on Tuesday last, for the purpose of considering the subject of the tax on tobacco. Resolutions were adopted, reciting that under the present laws, the Gov eminent is defrauded of its revenue, and honest men injured, and that the continuance of the present system will make it impossible for any honest man to prosecute business suc cessfully. The meeting recommend, to over come these difllcuWes, that "the surest and simplest way to obtain the necessary revenue from tobacco, and the one least subject to frauds, is to tax the raw material when it goes into consumption in the United States, by compelling all the tobacco raised in the United States to be placed in bond, and ex acting the tax on its withdrawal for consump tion." Twelve delegates were elected to the general convention of tobacco dealers, job bers and growers, which assembles in New York on the 7th inst. THE PRESIDENT'S BizssAax.--A Washington dispatch says that the President will in his forthcoming Message take high commanding ground in vindication of the national effort to maintain its authority and integrity. He ad duces from the enormous increase of the popu lar vote at the last election over that of four years ago, that the people have given the strongest and most unequivocal evidence of their approval of the executive policy of sub duing the rebellion by force of arms; that this paramount expression of the popular will amounts to an imperious mandate to further combat the rebellion with all the power and resources of the nation, until armed and or ganized treason is crushed out. In fine, the message will be more in the radical vein than any of its predecessors. It and accompanying reports are now in the hands of the printer. A HIGH-TONED Guam --Major General Butler has issued the following terse and sharp order upon David B. White, late Major of the .81st New York Volunteers. HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE JAMES, IN. THE FIELD, VA., Nov. 25, 1864. Special Orders, No. 372.-111. David B. White, late Major of the 81st New York Vol unteers, who has left the service, cannot be elected as sutler in this Department. Field officers leaving the service voluntarily cannot take the place of boot blacks here. If they have no more respect for the service which they have left, they will find that officers here have. David B. White will at once leave the Department. By command of • Major General BUTLER. ED. W. SMITH, Assistant Adjutant General. "lltrisraxrav ZsAr.."—The traitor organ in New York the Daily News, believes that the at. tempt to burn the city "was made by men identified with the Southern cause, and was prompted by a miltaken zeal in that direction." But the News attempts an elaborate .defence of the'Confederate authorities against the im putation of being concerned in the incendiar ism, notwithstanding the fact the Richmond newspapers proposed the very plan which its agents have endeavored to put in execution. The News is the only traitor organ that never finds fault with Jefi Davis. Commass.—Congress assembles next Mon day, Dec. sth. All necessary preparations are making for the appearance of the mem bers. It is said that President Lincoln will present his views, in his message, on the va rious propositions for peace, and the Admin istration policy on that subject. Nearly all the reports of the Cabinet Aecretaries, it is thought, will be ready for presentation when the session opens. THE Buz - moan CLIPPER comes to us in an enlarged form, and now presents a most at tractive appearance. The Clipper is one of those journals which have passed through the fury of a fiery ordeal, to emerge unscathed in loyal devotion to the old flag and the good Union. It deserves the' prosperity of which its 'enlargement is a sign. CENTURY PAPER.—The Hartford Courant was one hundred years old on Saturday, Oc tober 29th. The Publishers sent out with their regular sheet.on that day a fae simile irt paper and type of the first number of the paper, published October 29, 1764, and it is a curiosity. TEE Central and Northwestern States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, lowa, Michigan, Wis consin, Minnesota, Missouri and Kansas, have given an aggregate Union majority of about 225,000. This is rather discouraging to the scheme for a Northwestern Confederacy. THE BROWNSVILLE CLIPPER says there is some probability that John K. Ewing, lately appointed President Judge of the Fayette Judicial District, will not accept the position. He is induced to resign on account of im paired health. Ea-GOVEBNOB SAM. MEDABY, of Ohio, who recently departed this life, was a native of Pennsylvania, having been born in Mont gomery county. Boanns for the examination of officers of the Commissary, Quartermaster and Pay De partments have been established in different' parts of the country. The Progressive Tendencies of Politics Among Intelligent Men. There is something strange and really won derful in the progression of political senti ment for the last four yeaas. But, when we look at the matter fairly, the progress in this direction is not more startling than in others, in paths affecting men's social and personal condition. •It is certainly not more surpris ing to see a conservative, a genuine dough face Democrat, heretofore a believer in and a worshipper of slavery, become a fierce, intoler ant and uncompromising radical, than it is to see a comparatively poor man, one dependant upon his daily toil, become a millionaire. Yet these are common occurrences. The poor man of yesterday, is the man of opulence to-day. We could name a dozen men, who, six months since, were not worth a hundred dollars, but who, to-day, count their pecuni ary-possessions by the hundreds ,of thousands. Thl Lese vast possessions, too, were fairly made. Every dollar thus . accumulated, may be re garded as the fair exchange for the valuable products of the earth. Take the oil specula tion as an instance—at least that pit of the speculation confined to the actual production of this article, and the accumulation of real wealth exceeds that of any similar 'venture since men began to penetrate the bowels of the earth in search of riches. But let us not wander from our subject. That which is now most wonderful and which is most arresting the attentive admiration of all true men, is the grand progressive change which dis tinguishes the political predilections and sen timents of the American people. After four years of fierce battle—after a contest for a principle such as was never before involved in a civil war, individuals as well aa,the nation at large, are becoming purified, elevated, re generated. Four years ago, no greater insult could have been offered to many men, than to charge them with being aboli tionists. The same, men, to-day, are in the front ranks of the most radical abolition ism. Four yeais ago, the slave influence ruled in Congress, was potent and all power ful in the Cabinet, controlled the army and navy, and had completed what was deemed a perfect plan for the overthrow of the Ameri can Government. So thorough was the or ganization of the slave-holders for the subver sion of the rule of freedom, that it embraced the highest Federal officers then in power, intimidating the Chief Magistrate and cor rupting the Chief Justice of the country. Now mark the progress. The wrongs which the slave influence at first sought to inflict on a nation, has not merely rendered that bar barity odious to all loyal men, but its abso lute failure to accomplish its own darling ob ject of destroying the American Union, be gins to render the institution obnoxious to those who first cherished it as the sole sign of theirpower. The slave-holders themselves now offer to abolish slavery, if they can get, in return, recognition for their Government. If this offer is not a progress in improvemerit, it is at least an acknowledgment that slavery is wrong, that it stands in the way of a people who de sire to gain a sort of false independence in exchange for a real nationality out of which the purest freedom the world ever beheld has grown. —The progress of the politics of the times is the surest and the ,best evidenCe that the nation is bound to live. If a different inspi. ration had seized the people; if, while we were fighting with armed traitors, we had re solved to compromise with the cause of re bellion, and settled the war by securing to slavery not only its old but new political rights and franchises, good men would have de spaired for the life of the Union. As it is, however, we are safe. Nothing now can change the destiny of the American people, for good, but an act of folly on their own part. If the people continue to progress as they have progressed for the past four years, they must become politically pure and nation , ally-strong. I t EGALITY OF THE SOLDIERS' VOTE Opinion of Attorney-General Meredith IN THE CASE GROWING OUT OF THE ELECTION IN THE StETEESTH ArDICILL DISTRICT, OPINION The election of Judges is provided for by the act of the 15th April, 1851. The sixth section of that act provides that in case of the election of President Judge of any Judicial District composed of two or more counties, the clerks of the return judges of each county shall make out a fair statement of all the votes which shall have been given at such election within the county for every person voted for, which shall be signed by said judges and at tested by the clerks. This statement is re quired to be produced at a meeting of the re turn judges of the district. The duty of the return judges of the district is set forth in the seventh section, which provides that they shall cast up the several county returns, and make a sufficient number of copies of a gene. ral return of all the votes given for such office in said district, all of which they shall certify, and one of which they shall transmit to the Secretary of the Commonwealth in the Dian ne; provided in the act. The tenth section of the act requires the Governor to grant com missions to the persons elected. The district return judges of the 16th Ju dicial District, composed of the counties of Franklin, Bedford, Somerset and Fulton, have transmitted to the Secretary of the Com monwealth a return, in which they state that they have not included the Bedford county return of the soldiers' votes, a copy of which they annex, and they assign as the reason for not including it, that sell return was not cer tified to by nine of the return judges of Bed ford county. The return in question is sign ed by thirteen of 'the county return judges, forming, therefore, a majority of the whole number. The reason assigned for not includ ing this return is probably insufficient. As the authority of the return judges concerns matters of a public nature, a majority may act at a meeting lawfully assembled, and their meeting is presumed to be lawful in the ab sence of proof to the contrary. The clause in the 79th section of the act of 1839, providing that the returns shall be signed by all the judges present, does not govern the present case, and if it did, it would, Ist, be construed as directing, merely ; and, 2d, it would be presumed that the return was signed by all the judges then present, in the absence of proof to the contrary. If the said soldiers' vote of Bedford county be included, Alexander King has a majority of all the votes in the district and is elected President Judge. The question on which the Governor re quests my opinion is, whether it is the duty of the Governor to include the said soldiers' vote in ascertaining to whom the commission should be granted. The district •return judges have stated in their return that Francis M. Kimmell, having received the highest number of votes, is duly elected. This statement is of no effect whatever. The law gives them no authority to declare who is elected. Their duty is simply to cast up the county returns, and make a general re turn of all the votes given for the office. In this respect the act of 1851, regulating the election of judges, differs from the act of 1839, the 82d section of which, relating to the elec.- tion of members of Congress, and of the State Senate and 13<ouse, provides that the district return judges shall also return the name of the person or persons elected, and the 83d section provides that the return judges shall in every case transmit to each of the persons elected to serve in Congress, or the State Legislature; a certificate of his election. It would not be difficult to suggest reasons for this difference, but it is enough to say that the Legislature has thought fit to make it, and that the present case must be governed by the act of 1851. The Governor then has before him the re turn of the district return judges, from which he is to ascertain who is the person entitled to receive the commission. This is to be done by counting the votes given for the several candidates, and of course the candi date having a majority of the votes is legally elected and should be commissioned. . In counting the votes, I am of opinion that the Governor has no more right to throw out the soldiers' vote for Bedford county, than he would have to throw out the whole vote of any one of the coun ties in the district. It is true that the district return judges state that they have net included it, but they return a copy of the county return of it, and the Governor, by re fusing under such circumstances to count it, would be acting as illegally as the district re turn judges themselves. In fact,the paper transmitted by the district return judges to the Secretary of the Common wealth as their return, taking the whole of it together, does clearly show that Alexander King had a majority of ..the votes in the dis trict for President Jude, and is duly elected to that office, and in my opinion the Governor is bound to grant him a commission accord ingly. .

The plot was discovered by the United States detectives, to whom the matter was en trusted by General Washburn, and the incen diaries were caught in the act of firing the buildings. It is alleged that these emissaries were to receive from the rebel Government ten per cent. of the value of the property thus stroyed. • Dr. McMillen, proprietor of the Charleston House, of Memphis, is among the arrested.

LATEST FROM R hBELDOM Richmond Dates to Tuesday. Rebel Accounts of Sherman's Movements He Is Penetrating the very Heart of the Confederacy. WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. Richmond papers of Tuesday have been received, from which we.extract the follow ing: [h3•om the Richmond Whig, .2cov. 2.9.] FitOM GEOP.GIA. The Augusta Sentinel, of the 22d, states that intelligenpe reached Augusta the evening be fore, by the passenger train on the Georgia railroad, that our authorities had burned the bridge over the Oconee river, and that the Yankee column, moving down the road, had diverged from it, and was hastening to join the main body. It is stated that the Yankees had a large wagon train with them, which was divided after leaving the Georgisikoad in order to sweep all supplies from the section within reach of the two routes taken. Scouts reported them five brigades strong. The rumor that the Court House and depot at Madison had been burned is correct. The Macon train arrived on the night of the 21st at its usual time. The train left for that city next morning at its usual hour. The Macon Telegraph says it intends to hold forth in Macon until the Confederate flag •ceases to wave over the city. LATER We received late last night, through the courtesy of Mr. Henry Smith, of this city, a copy of the Augusta Constitutionalist of the 25th, which states that Gen. Wayne has„whip ped Kilpatrick's Cavalry Division at the Oco nee Bridge, driving them headlong and in confusion. He telegraphs that he is perfectly able to take care of himself. Wheeler, with many thousand men, has in teroepted the enemy at a point at present an mentionable, and is giving them no rest night or day. The main body of the enemy is moving down the western BM of the Ocoee, and has shown no disposition, thus far, to attempt its passage. - The Constitutionalist adds that three hun dred prisoners arrived last evening from up the Georgia Road, and four hundred more are to arrive to-day. These prisoners report that a division of three thousand of our cavalry has followed them all the way, dashing upon them constantly, picking up stragglers and capturing wagons. [bran the Richmond Enquirer, lcov, 29 Our Georgia exchanges furnish us with very little intelligence to copy. Governor Brown has issued a proclamation for .a levy en masse of the whole free white male population in the State between sixteen and fifty-five years old for forty days's service. All persons refusing to report will be "carried immediately to li the front." The fright in Milledgeville, whenthe enemy approached, was very great. Some of the members of the Legislature paid as high as one thousand dollars to be carried eight miles. A letter was received in Columbus on Saturday, from Palmetto, a point on the West Point and Lagrange railroad, - stating that Kil patrick, with five thousand Yankees, was ad vancing down the country on the Alabama side of the Chattahoochee, burning and destroying everything. The Battle at Franklin. Tenn. ACCOUNTS OF EYE WITNESSES -THE FIGHTING FURIOUS-RUMORED DEATH OF FO RREST - RE FUGEES AT NASHVILLE. Nesmar.r.r, Tenn., Dec. 1. Parties who arrived from the front, and who were witnesses of the battle of yesterday, describe the attack of the rebel forces as des perate. Four charges were made upon the Federal line of masked batteries in a body lour lines deep. Each time the rebels were repulsed with fearful loss. Eye witnesses say that this engagement in desperation and Turi ou.s fighting was hardly equalled by the battle of Stone river. Forrest in person was on the field rallying his men. A rumor is in circula tion that he was killed, but it lacks confirma tion. About seven o'clock last night heavy reinforcements reached General Schofield, which caused a complete rout of the rebels. This city to-day is full of fleeing residents of Williamson and other counties on the South. They state that Hood is gathering up all the horses, togs and mules he can find, and is sending them South. There is a great panic amongst the negroes in the counties south of Nashville, and numbers are fleeing hither for protection. ANOTHER GREAT RATTLE EXPECTED GENERAL THOMAS' ARMY IN LINE THREE MILES PROM NASHVILLE ARRIVAL OF REBEL PRISONERS. NASHVILLE, Dec. 1, The Union forces under General Thomas retired from Franklin last night, and have taken position and formed in line of battle about three miles south of Nashville. Skirmishing has been going on all day about five miles south of here, and heavy can nonnading can be distinctly heard in the city. No want of confidence is felt by the citizens in the ultimate suicess of the Federals. The employees of the Quartermaster's De partment are under arms in the trenches. One hundred and seven Confederate officers, including one brigadier general, and one thousand prisoners, arrived here this morning. They were captured in the fight last night, near. Franklin, Tennessee. A great battle may be momentarily expected. NAstrvErax, Nov. 30.--The army movements for a few days past have been simply for posi tion. The Federal forces have not retreated except to improve their location, and they oc cupy Franklin to-day, but will probably se lect for the battle-ground a position much nearer to Nashville. Skirmishing has oc curred, with little or no advantage to either. The probabilities are that the battle will be fought within the next forty-eight hours. Our forces are in eager expectation, and the Generals hopeful and confident. Large accessions of troops have leached here, who have been sent to advantageous positions. Small detachments of rebel cavalry are operating not far from Nashville, doing, however, no great damage. The railroad communication with Chattanooga is intact, and the trains are running-regularly. . . There is much excitement among the citizens on account of the near approach of Hood's army. Major General A. J. Smith's corps reached here to-night. NASHTELLE, Nov. 30—Midnight —There was a sharp fight yesterday, at Spring Hill, twelve .miles north of Franklin. Our cavalry was driven back upon our infantry lines, which checked the enemy. A train was attacked near Harpeth river, and the locomotive captured. A squad of rebel cavalry dashed across the Chattanooga Railroad yesterday, near Ches hire, tearing up the track. The train was detained all night, but came in GI morning. Our troops have fallen back around Franklin. Markets by Telegraph. ParuDELmak, Dee. 2 The adiounce in gold and exchange to-day has had very little effect upon the breadstuffs market.

Army at the Potomac Fort Hell Opens on the Rebels. A BRISK ENGAGEMENT. I==lll Deserters Continue to Arrive. THE CONFEDERACY TOTTERING HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. i November N. The intensest quiet prevailed along the lines for several days past until yesterday afternoon, when our battery at Fort Hell opened fire for the entertainment of some English visitor. The enemy at first did not reply, but after a short time they opened from several points, and for a time a perfect shoWer of shot and shell fell in and around Pint Hell. Unfor tunately just at this time some of the troops on duty in the vicinity were being relieved, and sevezal casualties occurred, among which was the wounding of Lieut. Col. Stafford, of the 86th New York, who, it is said, cannot recover. Towards dark the artillery firing closed, but the pickets kept up their exchanges all night. To•night they are briskly engaged in the same vicinity. Deserters continue to come into our lines daily, all seeming heartily tired of the war, and telling the discontent and demoralization prevailing in their ranks, and expressing their belief of the speedy disruption of the Con federacy. Governor Bradford, of Maryland, accompa nied by a number of prominent citizens of the State, arrived here to-day. They come to present flags to several of the Maryland regi ments in the Fifth Corps, and the ailair will probably take place to-morrow. Rebel Rumors Concerning Sher man. It is said by those who have seen Richmond papers of Wednesday, that they contain only a repetition of the statement that Sherman was still floundering in the interior of Geor gia, and that a detachment of our cavalry sent out in the direction of Beaufort, were all either captured, killed or dispersed.
