TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 6, 1864.
Dr. Smith Fuller Elected
We are gratified to announce the fact that
Dr. ShirrE Forms,a, the Union candidate in the
Twenty-first Congressional District, has been
legally elected to Congress by a majority of
15: The' returns from the three counties
composing the District have been care
fully examined by two competent gentle
men;' and there can be no doubt of the
result. The soldiers' vote, which hid - been
thrown out by the Copperhead Prothono
tary Weitinereland county in order to elect
Dawson Ws Imon added to the resident vote,
whlclx giVes Dr. Fuller" the majority already
stated; and oU'Which Gov. Curtin cannot hesi
tate fo l r a'moment to issue the proper certifi
cate ot
FOLLEB has this clear majority of ilf
. ,
teen votes, allowii4 all the returns claimed
for, Dawson, by , adding the soldiers' votes le
gally returned t 6 the Secretary's office. That
gibifEt 4refe - C:thiartitted in Westmoreland
county qglivt t be disputed. In one box Dow
son.claimt,a majority of sixty, and by compar
ing Ulf. hit ;A voterti; it has been discovered
thit 28 more votes are in the box than there
are names of voters on the tally lists.
0 The Prothonotary of Westmoreland county
haethrown out - eighty votes returned for Dr.
Puller 'in that 'county, without the least ex
cpse,o4her than to elect a Copperhead Con
gressman. , We repeat our hope that the
Governor will not hesitate to declare the elec
tion,§f Dr:Fuller i under the broad seal of the
Commonwealth.
Don't be Deceived
, Hon. Myer Stibuse, a Democratic member
of Congress from Schuylkill county, spoke at
the - grand banquet lately given in Philadelphia
to Speaker 'Colfax, following Hon. William D.
Strouse avowed his purpose of acqui
escing in the popular voice as expressed at
the late.election, and of giving to the Admin
istrationa cordialsupport. •
This Strome is an ardent copperhead, and
we trust our friends will not be deceived. He
is no doubt 'making these pretensions of
loyalty, in iiider to pievett the contesting of
his seat. Howzrz FISHER is the lewdly elected
9Smkre'siiifitAurn that district, and is enti
tled to his seat if the election frauds in
Schuylkill county are properly investigated.
The election officers in two of the strongest
copperhead townships were never sworn, and
that'alone vitiates the whole vote, But aside
from this, if the illegal votes polled in Schuyl
kill county are discarded, it will be sufficient
to, give Mr. Fisher his seat. : We. Itave lao
doubt, Slgqnse is very anxious to prevent this
investigation, by now proclaiming himself an
ardent Union man.
Meeting of the Electoral College.
The Electoral College will meet tomor
row, (Wednesday,) at twelve o'clock, in the
Senate Chamber. Every member is expected
to be present except Jolts' WISTER, Esq., of
the 15th district, who is absent on a European
tour. His place will be supplied by an elec
tion to be held by the College, the Elector
thus chosen to be commissioned by the Gov
ernor. Three separate returns will be made
out. One to be deposited in the Secretary's
office, the other to be forwarded to the pre
siding bfficer of the United States Senate, and
the third will be sent to the Vice President of
the United States by a special messenger ap
pointed, by. the College. The College will vote
unanimously for ARRLHAM LINCOLN and AN
DREW JOHNSON.

Govanxon DANCE, in a recent message to the
Legislature of North Carolina, confirms the!
reports, heretofore published, regarding , the
existence of organized bands of rebel desert- .
ers in the western portion of that State. He
says: "The western border of the State is.
subject to raids and depredations from bands,
of lawless men, who swarm in the mountain;
frontier, and murder, burn and destroy with'
savage cruelty. Some of the interior counties
also are infested by deserters, representing
nearly every State in the Confederacy, who
lurk in the swamps and mountains, stealing,
'plundering, and in many instances Murdering;
the inhabitants. In some places they muster
in such force as almost to amount to a suspen- ;
sion ,of the civil authority, aided and pro-,
tect:ect, as they are, by their relatives and,
friends. AU of our efforts to abate the nui
sance by efforts of pardon having proved fruit
less;l see no remedy for the evil but to out
law them and drive, them from the State by
the strong hand."
Ws= rum 'Rims in command received the.
news of Mr:Lincoln's re-election, they core
mimieated the fact to their followers wig?. the
assurance that the result was all that was ne
cessary to secure an uprising in the North, to
resist the decison of the ballot-b Ox.

SCATTERDTG MOTE.
In the vote given in the returns below, that
of Mr. AnfoE Mull is explained by the fact
that, having been originally on the ticket as
an Elector, for the VITIth District, and dying
before the election, Mr. William. Taylor was
substituted. A portion of the tickets with
Mr. Mull's name on them had been error
neously printed 'and circulated; and many of
these having been voted, fully explains the
discrepancy in the vote for Mr. Taylor.
It is also well to observe ,that the scattering
vote below is almost wholly in favor of the
Unidii issues, as the Men voted for are al
radical Union men:

POSITION OF THE OPPOSING ARMLES-ANTICLPA.
.TIONS OF A GREAT BATTLE. -
NABILV . LLE, Dec. 3.
After two days of wet weather, the clouds
disappeared this morning, and the day has
been magnificent. I have been on our right
all day. Our line of battle extends around
the suburbs of the city, our right and left, re
spectively, resting on the Cainberland
The enemy's line of battle is just two miles
from the city. Quite heavy, skirmishing in
front of Generals A. J. Smith and Wood has
been going on all the afternoon, by sharp
shooters on both sides.
On the right of our centre, near widow Ack
lin's place, the enemy's skirmishers become
troublesome, taking refuge behind houses, on
Franklin, Granny White and Hillsbero' pikes.
Two houses were burned, several injured and
ruined by our artilery. • I
We 'used considerable artillery this after
noon:on our right and right centre, but elici,
ter no reply from the rebel artillery. The
suppelition is that they are short of this kind
of ammunition. Several of our men were
killed to=day by their sharp-shooters, includ
ing two members of the Sixth Ohio. Battery.
The enemy's line can be seen quite , plainly
with the naked eye. .
An railroading south of this city has ceased
to eXist. Murfreesboro', 13rrclgeport and Chat
tanooga are ' deemed safe. Events of some
moment are tatticiyoed to-morrow. It Play
be considered in unpossibility for the rebels
to cross the river :either on our ;Wit or .left,
as ComModore Vitali. - is here with s fleet of
gun-boats. -
Johnsonville has been evacuated. ;Every
thing was removed from all the railroads in
safety. Thirty-three locomotives and .trains
*ere sent north this morning. . .
Nashville and the surrounding country for
miles has been converted into a huge fortress.
The destruction of rebel property in defence
of, the city will be almost incalculable. As
almost all the rich property owners hereabouts
are rebel sympathizers, the. rage manifested
by this portion of the community at the ap
proach of the rebel army, neeessiating , the
destruction of their property, is unbounded.
General Frank Cheatham, commanding one
of the rebel corps, has his , headquarters at
thehonse of Mr. gdmonson, on the Murfrees
boro' pike, four miles from the. city. Witold
Edmonson that . Hood had orders to go to
Nashville or to
There is plenty of water in the river for
boating purposes.
Vague rumors are afloat about Forrest
crossing the river, and Breckinridge joining
Hood; all of which is untrue. The situation
of our forces is considered perfectly satisfac
tory.

LOUISVILLE, Kr., Dec. 5.
The Journal of this morning contains the
following: .
NAsnvir.T,F, Tenn., Dec. 4.—Nothing of spe
cial interest has occurred to-day along the
lines.
Our artillery was used at different points
against the rebels, who are engaged in erect
ing breastworks within half a mile of ours.
Prisoners brought in to-day say that Briga
dier Generals Gist, Stahl, Gramberir and
Brown, of the rebel army, were killed at
Franklin, and that Gen. Cheatham lost every
brigadier in his corps.
The steamer James Watson has been de
tained at Helena. Her officers are charged
with illegal operations in cotton.
Among the papers captured. on 'the rebel
officers during Col. Barges' raid into Arkan
sas was an affecting appeal to the rebel Gene
ral Kirby Smith by ex-General Wirt Adams,
who has been conscripted and reduced to the
ranks. The communication was dated at the

other copy had been sent by Col. Cross via

The propeller Gen. Lyon has arrived from
the Savannah river with 743 exchanged pris
oners.., These men are generally in good con
dition. A sergeant who was with them reports
Sherman's cavalry within six miles 'of Savan
nah on the 30th of November, and says that
four trains, loaded with rebel soldiers, arrived
by the Gulf Railroad. There had been no re
port of disaster to, any part :.of Sherman's
corps., lie says the railroad was cut just after
the train he came to Savannah on had passed
through.
. The Savannah Bei*hcan, of Novemher
30th, contains so telegraphic news from any
quarter. The following are editorial items
on the situation :
"Reliable advices, received yesterday, in
dicate that Sherman has made little or.no
progress with the main body of his army dur
ing the last day or two., still on the
railroad, some distance beyond Millen,. and
apparently replenishing hie commissariat for
the journey before him: His -- then and ani
mals mist be de,sperately jaded by this time,
and but little prepared for the trials to come.
We still believe that his intention is to reach
the coast, if possible, by the router*hieh pre
sents the ,hlast &finger of a fight. There was
no enemy between here and Millen yesterday,
and although a party of Sherman's cavalry
had been near the lattet place, everything re
mained untouched.
" Another fight was reported - between
Wheeler' and Kilpatrick on Monday, with the
usual result The latter was decently thrsabe;
and drived back in the direction of the in
fantry. . •
"It is reliably reported that a force of about
1,000 landed , yesterday morning
. from the
Yankee fleet at Boyd's Landing, on Broad
river, in South Carolina, and some eight miles
distant from the Savannah and Charleston
Railroad. A portion of this: command ap-
proached the railroad la* in, the day, and
subsequently retired. Ample preparation has
beer. made to meet them should they attempt
to out the road, which it was believed they
would do last night. We still believe Sher
man has no serious thought of encountering
Savannah with his 'jaded columns,. but will
find it difficult to strike one that, has no lion
in his path.
"Our military authorities, we are glad to
see, are acting on the sound principle that
the surest plan for keeping him away from the
city is to make it impossible for him to get
there." •
"Pursuant to a resolution of the . General
Assembly, Governor Brown, before leaving
Milledgeville, made a proposition to the con
victs in the penitentiary of a pardon if they
would. volunteer. and prove themaelvds good
soldiers, Nearly all .volimteered, but a few
of the notoriously blid were rejected. The

• General Taylor is in Savannah, and has been
ordered to take tempothry command of all

has been turned over to the Confederate ser
vice.

2D EDITION.
Synopsis of the President's Message
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6
The message recommends .that provision
be made for effectually preventing foreign
slave traders from acquiring domicile and fa
cilities for their criminal occupation in our
country.
It has been thought proper to give notice
that after the expiration of six months, the
period Conditionally stipulated in the existing
arrangement with Great Britain, the United
States must hold themselves at liberty to in
crease theit naval armament on the lakes, if
they shall find that precaution necessary.
He suggests whether it might not• be both
competent and expedient for Congress to pro
vide that a limited amount of some future
issue of public securities might be held •by a
bona fide purchaser,
exempt from taxation
and from seizure for debt, under such restric
tions and limitations as might be necessary to
guard against abuse of so important a privi
lege.
This would enable every prudent person to
set aside a small annuity against a possible
day of want.
Since the last annual message all the im
portant lines and positions then occupied by
our forces have been maintained, and our
arms have steadily advanced.
He recommends the passage of a constitu
tional amendment abolishing slavery through
out the United States. The next Congress
will pass it if the present does not.
On careful consideration of all the evidence
acccelsible, it seems to the President that no
attempt at negotiation with the insurgent
leaders could result in any good, as the rebels
would accept nothing short of a severance of
the Union, precisely what we Will not and
cannot give. •
He reiractslnothing he has,irretofore said
on slavery. I will not modify the emancipa
tion-proclamation. f•
The war will cease on the part of the Gov
ernment whenever it shaUhave ceased on the
part of those who began it.
Chief Justice Appointed.
The Senate to-day confirmed Salmon P.
Chase , as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
