Tho Elootion in Columbia Co.
Wo givo to-day tlio reported voto in tills
county upon Tuesday, from whioh it will
foe scon that tho magnificent voto of last
year is fully maintained. Our voto will
nearly ronoli 1000 majority, which, for a
county of the size of ours, is most decided
find gratifying. It is a vote of about two
to one, tho advantago being in our favor,
and it fixes permanently tho character of
the county as one of the leading Demo
cratic counties of tho State. Tho decision
of tho pcoplo'of Columbia county against
Governor Curtin is indeed strong and is
righteously given. Tho majority hero
against him in I860 was 738. It is now
nearly 1000 ! When tho majorities for
Judge "Woodward in Columbia and Mon
tour are added together, it will bo seen
that tho whole Democratic voto within the
limits of what was Columbia county for
merly, is belter than it ever was before at
any contested election. Wo oro proud of
this result, for wc know it to bo tho honest
voice of tho people, and believe it to" bo
an intelligent and just judgment pronoun
ced by them upon public affairs.
Wo put Slcnker's majority for Auditor
General in this county, in 1802, at 1550,
This is tho correct number, although pub
lished erroneously as 1C70 from some or
ror of addition.
IVdicre nearly all tho -election districts
have dono so well, it may to thought in
vidious to yilect particular ones for ap
proval. Tiut wc cannot forbear express
inn our admiration of the very elegant
voting in Madison, Beaver, Main, Pine
and Fishingcreck. But all have dono well,,
tho township of Bloom alone excepted
where much of tho voting iB dono under
the suf crinlendcnco of losses, and where
there is consequently less of independonco
and manly voting than in any other placo
in tho county. Among tho farmers and
independent voters of tho county gener
ally, who act with honesty, intelligence,
and perfeot freedom from sinister influence
the voting is cxcollcnt, and it to the high
credit of those who have exercised the
right of suffrage.
State Election.
Wc go to press on Thursday morning,
to permit our office 4iands to attend tho

Curtin. Dut they aro eo wild, par

WOODWARD'S MAJORITY in Col

Democratic.
The following Preamble and Resolution
passed at the great Democratic meeting
at Allcntown, on the 7th inst., should bo
read by every Democrat :
"And Whereas, We aro fully convin
ced that much of the bitter hatred and
heart-burning strifo which it cursing our
land to-day, and filling its once happy
homes with widows aud orphans, is owing
to tho persistent efforts to a class of men
who, aa miuisters of tho Gospel of Jesus,
arc pledged to tho teaching of "pcaco on
earth and good will to all men," but who,
closing their coward eyes to tho sins of
their own congregations and communities,
compoutui for this hypocritical blindness
by denouncing tho sins of thoso who aro
too remoto to profit by their teachings or
tesent their impertinences, and, having
thus arrayed one section of this land
againtt'tho other, seem now to exult in
tho horrid carnago which is destroying
our people, and are urging on a war so
fierce and bloody in its details that even
devils might blush to adv.cato it, and are
repelling with vindictivo hato all thoughts
of amicable adjustment, Therefore,
Iiesolved, That, while wo cheerfully ac
cord to every rnau tho fullest right to cn
tortain and express by opinion and voto
his personal prcfcrcnco on all questions of
publio policy, we liere deliberately pledge
ourselves and recommend the Democracy

Result of the Conscription.
Daily tolcgraphio reports aro now being

by the conscription, so that an approxima

Reply of Bishop llopklus to Bishop 1
Toller.
Wc havo heard of embalming in pr'ussio
acid, but never had a visible oxamplo of it
buforo wo road tho rcoent admirable cpif
tlo by Bishop Hopkins. Yet there is noth
ing ficrco or denunciatory in a tinglo par
agraph. There is tho dignity of the Bish
op, tho'Courtcsy of the gentleman and tho
gentleness of the Christian, manifest in
every line. ' IIo docs not render railing,
for railing, but contrariwise," in accor
danco with tho Apostlo's injunction. Tho
attack of tho Pennsylvania Bishop was so
unprovoked, unnoccsary, nnd so full of the
malignity of a political partisan, that it
might havo stirred the heart of oven so
puro and gontlo a naturo as that of the
Bishop of Vermont to rebuking with bit.
torncss. But his high Christain nature
was proof against tho temptation, and ho
responds to the attack simplv in the lan-
j'guago of rebuke and Christain exposlula
tion ; hut tho rebuke aud expostulation
manifest what is meant by tho phrase
''heaping coals of firo" on tho head of an
adversary. What a scathing, withering
rebuke upon the consistency of this Bishop
turned politician, is administered in the
following passage:
"For many years you mot in brotherly
council with theso Southern slaveholders.
You invited them to tho hospitalities of
your houso, and paid them especial defcr
cucc. Tho now light of Eastern Abolition
ism had not yet risen within our Church ;
and if you then thought, as you now think,
you took excellent care that no man among
your Southern friends should know it.
Moreover, your favorite 1 hcological feeru
inary, only thrco years ago, was tho Vir
ginia school at Alexandria, raised to Great
prosperity by Bishop Meade, a slaveholder,
and I am sure that nothing at variance
with my Bible viow of slavery was taught
in that institution."
Bishop Hopkin's allusion to the site of
tho new lights in New England, tho en
couragement of irrcligion, and tho impious
innovations countenanced by Now England
religious societies, is as just as it is true
It shows that he has been no idle, obser
ver of the condition of the community
about him, and manifests a statesmanlike
sogaoity in tracing tho cause of our present
troubles to their true origin. Horace has
warned painters against combining a mans
head with a horso's neck, of making a
beautiful woman terminate in the tail of
a fish; and wc would advise tho Benior
Bishop of Pennsylvania against a similar
incongruity, by trying to write the head
of a prelato in lawn sleeves, with tho scaly
tail of a political eorpant of tho Loyal
League pattern, crawliug on hi3 belly in
all the dust and slime of that political
arcnp, whero venomous asps aro content to
wriggle.
Operations Against the Navajoe Indians.
Full and interesting dispatches have
been received at the War Department from
Brigadier General James II. Carleton,
commanding tho Department of New Mcx
ico, respecting the operations against the
Navajoe Indians Among the dispatches arc

ful in his operations against this war-liko
tribo, killing and dispcrsnig largo num

Fall or Rook. A day or two since
tho largo tablo rock, below the suspension
bridgn at Clifton, fell, taking with it a
large section of tho bank. Tho concus
sion produced by tho fall is said to havo
shaken the bridge from cad to end as woli
as a portion of tho land aud tenements in
the vicinity, causing many to imagine that
an earthquake had taken place. The
rook and earth havo formed a small Island
in tho river, but it is expected that tho
action of tho water will speedily romovo
it, as tho ourrent is very swift and strong

iiave been very frequent in tho vicinity of
tho falls ; almost too frequent to give per-
I sons confidence in their title deeds.

of constitutional liberty, free speech, fieo

maintain that under iho constitution thero

rebellion, and had the constitution ond laws
in accordance thereof been observed and
respected by the men in power, this unholy
and wicked war would have been brought
to a closo ere this. But as ii is, no one can

The first proposal to present a testimonial
to General McClellan mol with unexpected
approbation, and corps aud diviriou com
manders, without exception, favored ihe
projrtct, many of them heading the lists
with magnificent sums, All contributions
wero to be voluntary, and it was found ne
cessary to limit tho amout given by privates
lest more money should bo raised ih.vi
could bo properly disposed of. Twclvo
thousand 'dollurs were raised in a single
corps. Every member ol General Meade'd
staff, except one, contributed, the General
himself selling tho examplu, and when the
order was received from Washington to dis
continue the colleciion, and refund the
money, iho astonishment ol tlio officers and
men was only equalled by iheir chagrin,
nearly cveryofiicer of note in the army hav
ing been permitted lo receive testimonials
Tho troops wore at a loss lo account for this
unexpected proceeding, until the malignity
which prompted iho measure was betrayed
in the treatment of officers who interested
themselves In tho movement. Col. Davi,
Assisiant Inspector General on tho staff of
General Meade, a class mato nnd an iriti
male friend of General McClellan, who took
tho subscription list around among the ofli
cers al headquarters, has been reduced lo
the rank of Major, and ojdered lo Sante Fo.
O.hor officers aro under Iho ban, while Ihe
troops, mortified and indignant, pocket
llioir contributions and await a moro con
venient season.
