The mrjority for Curtin, as near as we can come to it from official returns already received, will fall a little short of 15,000. After the free me that was 133449 4 sou the power of the Fed eral and State administrations, and all the fraud that was undoubtedly practiced, we do not think the victors have any thing to brag of, Celebrating the Victory. We observe that in several counties the Cur tin men are preparing to celebrate, on a grand scale, what they term the " Union victory." We wish we could believe that Curtin's elec tion is a ." Union, victory." In that case we should attend some of the celebrations—for " Union victory" is what we fought for, and what we are convinced we lost. The Call for Three Hundred Thousand More,. If more troops are needed to carry on the war—and we suppose that, under the present management of the army, they are—the volun tary system once more adopted by the Presi dent, all, except the extreme men, will admit to be the proper on*. Some may doubt whether the army can be recruited in this way, not withstanding the extraordinary inducements held out for enlistment, the confidence of the country in the disposition of the administra tion to terminate the war—except on condi tions which at least one-half the people believe to be wrong, and which must, of necessity, de fer the termination to a period so remote that the heart aches in contemplating the bloody chapters yet to be written—having been much shaken if not entirely lost. Still, no other sys tem than that of voluntary.enlistmeet can ev er be rendered acceptable to our people, and it was an act of prudence on the part of the Presi dent, after the complete failure of the Con. scription to supply men, to ignore that most odious measure of hie adMinistration and re. turn to the voluntary system. But, if a speedy termination of , the war is really his desire, something mere is still required. Under the policy which has hitherto governed the admin istration—as we understand it—peace it seems to us must be very remote, and a restoration, or even reconstruction of the Union, impossi ble. To fill up the armies le MAO an extent as to insure the speedy suppression of armed rebellion and prepare the public mind North and South for reunion, we want some assn= ranee from the President that the i'adical policy which has hitherto prolonged the war and eta- Uttered the hearts of the people of the two Sta tions against each other, shall be dropped, and the terms of the Constitution adhered toin the final adjustment of the differences which en. .gendered the war, and which war alone can never heal. Such assurance, coming solemnly from him, would be more effective than armies. It would raise a power in support of his policy, in both sections, which it has not yet had ; and while it would free the path-way of our soldiers from many obstruction!, would pre pare the minds of the people for a. return to fraternal relations under the old quern of gov ernment which was so rudely and unjustifiably broken by the guns of Moultrie and Cummings Point tired upon Sumpter. We have never believed, as some do, that the rebellion can be suppressed by peace measures alone ; but we have always believed that tee sword should only be employed to do its neces sary work, and should ever be accompanied by the olive branch. To push war beyond the point necessary to an adjustment of difficulties is sheer, wholesale murder ; but to push it to that extent seems, unfortunately, in the pre sent condition of mankind, to be necessary— and therefore to that point we have always been in favor of waging it. We must have an armed force to meet the armed force arrayed against us, but this does not preclude the con stant use of all the agencies of peace—and while we meet with the sword those who strike with the sword, we should be ever ready and eager to bring the peoples who are not engaged in the actual strife to a good understanding, Which, with us at least, would be the readiest way of ending the conflict and blessing the nation once more with peace, good government and prosperity. While we do not agree with the following extract from the New York ;News in all its points, yet it seems to us to contain sentiments which are just and proper, and entitled to re: spectful consideration. Ina long notice of the President's recent proclamation for 800,000 recruits, the New remarks : 46 The call for volunteers is so far an im -prorating wpm .„ thea, gme by eontrut it amuses the upetietteee, and we leave •it to the s tern ori of the future. If it 4 vettten dorm in oar destiny that we shatAtiteddeie of our brotlitirs' blood, bettei that . the &Ayers should kill. of their awn accord, and that the victims ehOuld perish by the action of their own volition. Compulsion, beyond what is plainly traced in the letter of the law, is in all things the an tagonist of Republican principles, but where it reddens the unwilling band with the stain of Cain, and hurries hundreds of thousands into untimely graves, it deserves not only to be renounced by Executive proclamation, but to be forbidden for all time by the moral edict of civilized humanity. But, while we rejoice that a lesser evil supplants the grosser one, the events of the past three years have demonstra ted the inefficiency of either to restore a sun dered friendship. We have had proclamations by the score, and treasure by millions has been lavished to promote the spirit of volunteering. Armies, whose valor and numbers have been unprecedented, have struggled to rejoin the broken link, but they labor not with the in struments that God has given to his people for such uses, and they labor in vain. As the swords strike into the flesh, and the cannons pour death into the serried ranks, the stubborn will defies the murderous agency, and all the precious lives thrown into the chasm will not close it up. The three hundred thousand will march to new victories or more defeats; strongholds will crumble, cities will blaze, soldiers will bleed, and kindred will weep for those that fall; yet the union of hearts will not be consummated by such a ministration, and what other Union should freemen contem plate ? The enemy to-day defies the Executive proclamation at the gates of Washington. The scene of the great struggle is nearer to the Federal Capital than to Richmond. The baf fled General of our vastest and most important post confines himself per force to a precarious defence. The proclamation may bring soldiers to the field or it may not, but it will not bring the enemy to terms. There is a sentiment to be conquered that is superior to the force of arms. The people of the south are not fitted by descent and education to be subdued by fire and steel. We have tried it for nearly three years, with what success their present temper and the present military situation attest. But we have never tried the virtue of a word in the spirit of reconciliation. Let us disown the fatal Abolition purpose, and extend an open, unarmed hand with the real essence of friendly feeling, and the result cannot prove worse than what the past has given, and a future of warfare promises." As we have already said, we have no faith in the power of the open, unarmed hand" alone to subdue the rebellion and restore the Union_ What we desire is the rejection by the administration of that mischievous radicalism which makes peace and reunion impossible, and the adoption of a peaky in consonance with the Constitution, sound patriotism and statesmanship. That is all we ask, and that we think will speedily bring about all that thy millions desire—the Government we had and a people at peace and in harmony. fL "NEVER DESPAIR OF THE REPUBLIC." Messrs. Editors :—Our election having resul ted, authentically. in favor of the Abolition ists, I aw induced to send you a communica tion on that result, and on public affairs' gloomy and alarming as they are, still, not sufficient to induce us to " Despair of the Re public." First: as to the election in this city. The result will not surprise any one who reflects upon the great obstacles contended against— namely, the whole power of the General and State Governments—the Mint, Custom House, City, and. Navy Yard—employing sufficient numbers to carry an election in ordinary times—the Contractors' League, the soldiers and employees of the Hospitals and Provost Guards. And in addition, remember that some of the leaders of the people, together with our (so-called) conservative Mayor, carrying with him the whole police force, made a "summer sault," heels over head into the Abolition party, accompanied with all the preachers, diseased with " negro on the brain," and their folloWers, and the only (so-called) Indepen dem" press, the Ledger, added unto them. Why, sirs, never did th 9 Nl:secrets of the city contend more nobly against such tremen dous odds! As to the rest of the State, it appears to have been flooded with called outside voters, 9,000 coming, by their own showing, from Washing ton alone. Prom 15,000 to 20,000 voters must have been brought into the State, and taken by restraint and duress to the polls; thus chang ing the fair and legitimate result. That fair and legitimate result would have been of in calculable benefit to the country, by arraying the three great States of Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey, containing some eight million of people. in opposition to the destruc tive influence of the Abolition radical faction at Washington. But what is postponed is not leet, jand there is no reason to despair. Simultaneously with this result in Pennsyl vania, comes other discouraging news. The Army of the Potomac falling back before Lee's army—General Rosecrans' army, after. jts de feat, in a position scarcely tenable—the Texas expedition moving elowly,'and with difficulty— Charleston harbor sealed to the fleet—trade on the Mississippi still partially obstructed— a beaten General sent to command our troops in the West, carrying there jealousies, quar rels and incompetency ; and Washington main lint a military outpost of the nation, 'reeking with moral and political corruptions, where the temple of " mammon " is open .day and night, in which stands the great idol of the East, called ".Basson - ssrocirer," surrounded with his worshippers, and where a citizen can not walk the "avenue," except at the peril of running against a contractor, gambler, briga dier general or a contri6.and. Now, Messrs. Editors, a plain . and sensible citizen can collect enough patience and phi loeephy to stand all this, because much of it is curable, or may cure itself; but, when he looks into the future, he finds what is far worse, and much more to be dreaded, putting him upon his strongest aefensive mettle, and that is this Our elections just over have developed, begat the frauds and dangerous influences used, the deceptive and wicked policy of the Abolitionists, namely, that the war is not to be waged vigorously for the restoration of the Union and the Constitution. This is now clearly developed and avowed. But, on the contrary, it is to be a long war, a war of en durance, and a «social war." Let us see if it is not so ! Did not General Butler say in substance, in the Court House, at Harrisburg, that he was opposed to the resto ration of the Union, and his- hearers might think him heterodox if they chose f Did not that quasi white man, Vice President Hannibal Hamlin, at the New York Institute, openly scoff at the PRILADELPHIA, Oet. 19, 1863. - ""f :tow net Mr. 8 tskylkase, a cabinet minister,. pro claim .dOsti, on the 12th inst., that it - was to: tt4o a - of endurance, having , for its end the destruction of the social fabric of the States South of us I Now, this has been long known by some, suspected by many, and often avow ed ; but when we consider gego and what these men are who now avow it, can there be a doubt left that it is the patented policy of the ad ministration, and the issue to be made at the next Presidential election, now not far distant? That issue is simply this : Is the war to be carried on vigorously for the restoration of the Union and the vindication of the Constitution upon which it rests, or not? And farther, is this great question to be decided fairly by the ballot box, or by the whole corrupting money influ• ence and threatening military power of the government, using the large armies in the field as a ponderous political machine against the friends of the Constitution and the Union ? If it has come to this, the Democracy may fearlessly take that issue with the adminis tration without despairing of the Republic. THE STATE ELECTION.

NEW Your, Oct. 20.—The Tribune says : We understand upon authority froni Wash ington which we deem trustworthy that Gen. Rosecrans is about to be removed from the com mand of the Army of the Cumberland. His successor is not yet publicly named." FROM BERMUDA. New YORK, Oot. 20.—Bermuda dates have been received to Oct. 13th. The British steam er Plover arrived at Hamilton on the sth from Charleston. The Plover did not communicate with Charleston; the federal Admiral deemed it important to prevent all intercourse. The rebel steamer Advance arrived at St. Georges, Sept. 26th, with 530 bales of cotton on board, from Wilmington, N. C., and cleared on the 6th for Nassau. The British steamer Dee arrived from London on the 26th, probably a blockade runner. The rebel steamer Alice with 782 bales of cotton from Wilmington, N. C., ar rived at St. George on the 12th. A person styling himself col. Wheeler, of the 'rebel army, sailed front St. Georges for Halifax on the 10th in the British. brig Princess Royal. FROM CHARLESTON. New Your., Oct. 20.—The transport Thom as, from Port Royal on the 16th, has arrived, and reports all quiet at Charleston. ROSECRANS AND BURNSIDE. THE FORMER REPORTED RELIEVED FROM DUTY— DIMITCUES Fa 924 BATTER. WASHINGTON, Oct; 20.—A rumor has been current for some days that Gen. Rosecrans is to be relieved from the command of the Army of the emmberlind, but inquiry of those pre sumed to be best informed on the subject has failed to elicit either an affirmative or negative response. The government has official advices from Gen. Burnsitie, stating that his marches and victories in Eastern Tennessee and South western Virginia are satisfactory ; he says in almost every ease the enemy has been whipped and routed. Gen. Burnside declares that there is not a more loyal people living than he found in East Tennessee. • FREIGHT DESTROYED UTICA, N. Y., Oct. 20.—Seven ear loads of freight, chiefly general merchandize, were de stroyed on the Central Railroad at Jordan, this morning. The fire was caused by the sparks from the locomotive communicating with the vapor from petroleum, with which one of the cars was loaded. MEAD IN PURSUIT OF LEE. NEW YORK, Oct. 20.—A special dispatch from Washington to the Evening Post says that Gen. Meads army is in hot pursuit of the rebels, who have already retreated beyond the Rapidan. PHILAIiBLPHIA, Oct. 20.—The Richmond Sentinel, October 13th, says "We understand that, in consequence of the action of the Bri tish consuls relative to foreigners enlisted' in the Confederate service, the President has felt it his duty to dismiss them all from the Con federacy. We shall to-morrow lay before the country the official correspondence in which the action of the Executive is made known and the grounds of it explained." BREAK IN THE DELAWARE CANAL EATON, Oct. 20.—A bad break has occurred in the Delaware Division canal, five miles be low Easton, which will require two weeks to repair. BY THE MAILS. orrzczna CAPTURED 8Y OTJERRILLA9- 1 -"•13ROT FOR. DESERTION-LOSS AT CHARLESTON-GEN. LEE ---HEAVY FIRING HEADQUARTERS, Oct. 18.—Thirteen officers of Gen. Sedgwick's corps were captured in detail this afternoon as they strolled in a. wood near headquarters, by rebels concealed in the thicket, and spirited away before the trap was discovered. Two were on the general staff, and one a commissary. This afternoon a cap tain's horse was shot under him, between Fairfax Court House and Washington, and the rider taken prisoner. A corporal and several privates were wounded by the same party of guerrillas, who escaped with their prey. James Haley, of the 116th Pennsylvania, was shot for desertion on Saturday evening at dusk, OD ,801 l Run, in view of the second division of the corps, it being the second offence. FunicoLA WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.—1 t is understood that official information was received to-day, stating that our loss by the rebel attack on Charles town, Va., yesterday, was not more than 150 men. Assuming this to be true, accounts from that quarter have been exaggerated. Accounts from the Army of the Potomac say that there are, no tidings of Lee's where abouts, as he has recently materially changed his positions. Such dispositions have been made of our own army as will meet all contin gencies. Heavy firing of artillery was for an hour or two heard this morning in the direction of Manassas. Special dispatch to the New York Wo Id. WASHIONTON, October 19.—There is but one item of real fact to-day from the front, among rumors without number, and that is, Lee's army has entirely fallen back from Bul Run, not even a picket being in sight. General Sickles was so confident that an en gagement was not probable that he came in to-day, there being in truth no rebels on A!eade's front to fight. Whither they have gene a matter of speculation attained only by a few brief facts. Our cavalry have discovered that one column of the enemy moved northward, as if going through Thoroughfare or Aldie Gaps into Loudon Valley, but whether their final destination is the Shenandoah Valley or a sim ple march around back to Culpepper again is yet to be determined. The enemy on their right flanks are not this side of Bristow Sta tion, and it was believed at Bull Run this af ternoon that we would occupy Bealton Station, just this side of the Rappahannock, by to-mor row morning. The War Department hag tio confirmation of the rumors that a force of rebels have appeared in the Shenandoah Valley, and have no intelli gence that the Ninth Maryland regiment was captured by the rebels at Charlestown, Virginia, yesterday, as widely published here to-day; nor that any rebels are on the upper Potomac. So far from the statement being true that Meade's army had retreated to Washington, the simple fact is, that it holds positions to night that twenty hours since were in posses sion of the rebel forces. One solution of Lee's retrograde movement is given in our army, to the effect that 'his seven days' rations gave out on Saturday, and that failing to capture some of Meade's trains and to get his own trains •up, he has been obliged to fall back for supplies. THE SITUATION AT CHARLESTON-GRAND RE VIEW BT GIRL BEAUREGARDDIMOULTT IN THE EXCHAECit 6V PRIACINV.P.g. CHARLESTON, October 14.—There was heavy and rapid firing yesterday afternoon and du ring last night, chiefly from James Island works and Fort Moultrie. The statement from prisoners of a new battery between Gregg and Wagner is believed to be false. The weather this morning ie dark and stormy. There has been little firing to-day. CEIABLZSTON t Oct. 15.—Tbe firing from our batteries continues as usual. The enemy makes no reply, but continues working. An additional number of transports is expected at Folly Inlet. Two war vessels have arrived off the bar and signified a, desire to - communicate with the French consul, who will probably visit them to-morrow. Captain Hernley, with seven men in a small beat, were drowned in the harbor this morn ing. Firing from our batteries continues slowly, with no response from the enemy. CHARLESTON, Oct. 16.—This is the ninety eighth day of the siege. A grand review of troops by Gen. Beauregard will take place to day. There is nothing new this morning. FORTRESS MoNROE, Oct. 17.—The United States gunboat Oleander, from Charleston bar direct, arrived this morning and reported to Admiral Lee, at Newport News. She brings no news. The steamers Maple Leaf, Captain Dale, and New Y3rk, Captain Chisholm, from Beaufort, arrived At, noon to-day. They bring no news. The 8. .R. Spaulding, from Morris Island, is hourly expected. THE MUTINY OF THE GEORGIA MILITIA -60 KILLED AND 200 WOUNDED. The report of , a mutiny in Bragg's army seems to be fully confirmed by late intelli gence.- A letter from Chattanooga to the Cin cinnati Commercial says ; "It was occasioned by the refusal of the Georgia militia to remain longer in active service. They represented that they had vol unteered only for the battle of Chickamauga, to drive the Federal troops out of their own State, and that done, were unwilling to be re tained in the Confederate service. Bragg re fused to grant them permission to return home, and they stacked arms, whereupon a division of Longstreet's men were ordered into Even this did not intimidate the valiant mili tia. They were resolute, and were not to be coerced in any such style. Finding no virtue in threats, Longstreet's men were ordered to Arc upon the mutineers, and discharged seve ral volleys at them, with what effect we have not been able to definitely ascertain. We have it on the authority of deserters that sixty were killed and two hundred badly wounded." THE WAR IN 'EAST TENNESSEE arm the Riehakoncl. papers.) LTNcantrao, Va., Ocx. 16.—Twenty-seven regiments of Yankee cavalry and mounted in fantry, estimated at 14,000, passed Greenville, Tennessee, bound eastward, to make a raid on the Virginia and Tennessee railroad, attacking our forces at Bible Ridge, six miles west of Greenville, on Saturday, the 10th inst. Our f o i ve withdrew tollendersoh, ten miles east of Greenville. The enemy having succeeded in reaching eur rear, our men fell back to ZoM olter, until the Yankees, heavily reinforced, advanced upon them, when they were with drawn to Bristol. Our loss in both days' fights was 300 killed and wounded. Our woun ded fell into the hank( of the enemy. On Wednesday night the enemy arrived at Bristol, and are reported to have advanced to AL OF BRITISH CONSULS. THE WAR IN VIRGINIA NEWS FROM THE SOUTH. wards Abington with a heavy force, supposed to number from 8,000 to 10,000. Joe Hooker is in command in Emit Tennes see. Burnside has left, having been dismissed or resigned. Three regiments of Tennessee renegades have been organized; and 4,000 refugees are following the Yankee army. The enemy destroyed no property in East Tennessee, as they expect to hold the country permanently. KENTUCKY. DEATH OF A NOTED OUENBILL/t MORONI:Om aLTKNIR'S GUERRILLAS MOVING INTO NEN- TL CKT. CINCINNATI, Oct. 19.—The notorious guer rilla Jim Keller, who murdered Capt. Wilemsn and others, was captured rear Sharpsburg, Kentucky, yesterday, with six others of his gang. They were taken to Mount Sterling, where a man named Watkins, formerly belong ing to the 9th Kentucky cavalry, shot and mor tally wokuded Keller while in the hands of the guard. Large forces under Buckner are reported moving into Kentucky from the Southeast, ap parently with the design of striking the Ohio near Gallipolis. . • • Sr Louis, October 19.—A special dispatch from Cairo says the t the rebel steamers Argus and Fulton, recently captured on the Red ri ver, were valued at $150,000.
