GEORGE B. M'CLELLAN,
Subject to l he Decision of the Democratic
National Convention
The Electicas.
The election in New York is over. The
returns are yet incomplete, but indicate an
Abolition majority of perhaps 25,000 in the
Stale, and an Abolition rnaj. ic both branch
es of tfce State Legislature. -.
la Missouri the election has gone Repub
lican. Io the city of St. Louis the Radicals
hare a. majority of about 2,000 votes over
the. combination of Democrats and Conser
vative?. - , -
. The election - in Massachusetts resulted
in the triumph of the Abolition party, as
evi?ry body anticipated.- Twelve Demo
crats are probably elected to the Slate Leg
lelatnre. '-
Maryland baa had, too, her election
Three out of the four , Congressmen have
nnioubtedly been elected by the bo railed
Unionists. The whole "regular Union"
Ticket no. doubt is elected. Everybody
knows bow things are being ' managed in
Ibis States There, is virtue in bayouets,
u:-ly !
.-- Michigan is reported to have gone large
iy for the Abolition ticket. Parker is re
ported to have been elected Mayor of the
city of Detroit. He is a Democrat.
Thrt Wisconsin election is announced to
bare been tx victory for the enemies of De
csocracy and Constitutional Liberty.
' The Democrats have carried the election
in Nebraska, electing two thirds of the
Members of the Council.
- Tuc Vote in Oato. The who!e vote at
4he late election in Ohio will probably foot
op. over 470,000. Of this vote Vallandig
hum received 187,000, - a larger number
than was ever before given to a Democrat
ic candidate for Governor. Allowing one
votet to each six persons, (says the Cleve
land Plain Dealer,) and that H a short estU
rx ais, and ) be total population of oar State
in ttce millions eight hundred thousand I , That
in a half n ill ion more people than we had
by the cecsus of TS60. If that vote is hon
et, cur State has increased in population at
-.a rate that is astonishing. The increase of
svote is the most remarkable in counties
torJiring d other States.
The Wcbld sats : General Ben. Butler
Las got a command at last. He takes the
place of General Foster at Fortress Monroe,
and will have nominal control of the mili
Isry department which consists of Eastern
-Virginia and North Carolina. Fortunately
for the rep utalion of the country there is but
little of a military nature to do in that De
jartment, and the people within our lines
have nothing Butler can confiscate for bis
awn-use - There are, however, a few
women le.'t upoo whom be can exercise
lis bullying propensities. Big Bethel, the
scene of Fuller's first military exploit ought
to ba his head quarters-
The 'Shakers'' and the Dratt. Tbe
War Department has decided that drafted
"Shakers" must toe the mark. In all cases
thus far, the .''Good Believerb" have,
tbroagb conscientious scruples failed to an
M srer to their names, while they have treat
ed the three hundred dollar elanse with
narked indifference. Therefore, a levy
will be made upon the property of the re
spective fraternities to the amount of three
Lundred dollars per. each man drafted.
.There are eighteen societies in the country,
:ihd their average will run about six men
each. The sect, therefore, will be compel
led to contribute aboal $32,000 for the
prosecution of the war.
- To se Sest Home to Vote The Medi
cal Director of the Depai't of the Susqne-
t liaanah has received orders from the War
Depar't to grant a forlough of ten days, with
Tree transportation home, and back, to all
' New York soldiers confined in the hospitals
under his charge. This, step has been
found necessary in view of the approaching
.election in New York, and of course it is to
, be presumed that all those who do not see
the merits of the Abolition party will be
. considered too sick to UtwU. Exchange.
: Tee Danville Intelligencer says, the
workmen employed at the Rough . and
. Ready Iron Works, . in this place, have
struck for higher wages. Perhaps the pro
prietors bad better try the effect of another
. "barrel of beetr" to mollify them." It seems
'hat the proprietors had a jollification over
.'he election of Curtin when "beer" was
cne of ih requisites. The men enjoyed it

The Dead at GimsBnao Tn a letter to
Governor Todd, under date of November
1st, D. W. Brown, State agent for Ohio, to
superintend the. removal of the dead at
Gettysburg to the National Cemetery, says:
"In five days of the pact week, Saturday
being stormy, 182 Were interred in the
National Cemetery, nearly all of them from
the first day's battle rronnd not tnarba.t
Consequently the burial gronnds allotted to
the unknown there will be about 1 000. Of
this class, of those marked, there are from
New York, 582; Pa, 399; Mass , 158, Ohio,
111 : Michigan, 85 ; Maine, 7f ; Indiana,
55 ; Vermont, 39; New Jersey, 30 ; Wiscon
sin, 28 j New Hampshire, 24 ; Connection,
23; Rhode Island, 12 ; Minnesota, 11;
Marjlaod 8; Virginia and Dele ware, each 5.
It is not supposed thefore going is entirely
correct... It will no doubt be augmented
considerably, but approximates as nearly
as possible. An allowance of one-third is
allotted to each class, so (hat there will be
room for all the foregoing. The list fools
up nearly 1, 700 marked, which with 1,000
unknown, and probably as many taken
away, shows an awful destruction of. life
here. Mr. Brown thinks that not more
than one half of the bodies will be removed
before the 19th, the time fixed for the ina
uguration ceremonies at which Ohio will be
well represented. .
Sad Affair. The "ox roast" in Tre
moal on Saturday last, "in honor of Ibe
election of Andrew G. Curtin," tamed out
to be rather a melancholy affair. As might
be expected on such occasions, cannon
were brought upon the grounds, and as is
usually in the case, a kind of rivalry existed
between the different parties, as to which
ceuld make the loudest report. Those hav
ing charge of the Tremont cannon very
foolishly and heedless of the consequences,
loaded it with coal dirt and gravel. The
consequence was that the connon exploded.
The result was horrible. Charles Mianich,
who fired it, bad the fore part of his bead
entirely blown off. Parts of the skull, jaw
bone and tongue were foand next morning
thirty or more yards from the place of ex
plosion. . Edward Burke,' a boy about
twelve years of age, bad his leg broken,
others were slightly injured. It is remark
able, considering the position of the can
non and the proximity of the people, that
the explosion did not result it a greater loss
of life. However, it was sad enough and
we hope it will prove a warning to others.
An inquest was held on the body, by Isaac
P. Bechtel, Esq , and the verdict rendered
in accordance with the above facts. Potts

Deith or an Editor. It is bat a few
weeks since we announced the death of the
editor of the Post of this place. To day it is
our painful taEk to'announce the death of his
successor and son, John P. Gctelics His
death was a painful stroke, not only to the
-family but also to a large circle of friend
a"nd acquaintances. We were quite intima
lely acquainted with him; and, though an
opponent in politics, we always entertained
for him the highest regard, and we have
reason to believe that our feelings were
reciprocated. He possessed more than an
ordinary degree of intelligence for a person
of bis age; be was kind, and affable; his
general conduct and deportment were con
stantly dignified with an eminent degree of
propriety; be was blessed with a liberal
share ofgcod common sense; and, in short
be was a model gentleman. -Selinsgrove

Burclabt The Hardware Store room of
Mr. C. C Baldy, of this place, was burglar
iously entered on Wedneiday night last.
The rogues effected an entrance through a
window in the basement, and forced their
way into the store room by prying open the
door leading into the latter, with an instru
ment such as is used for boring rocks.
When in, they proceeded to rummage
desks, drawers, &c, in hopes of finding
money, but they only succeeded in secur
ing one of Abraham's ten cent greeny's.
They, however, " took two finely finished
rifles, together worth about $35, a lot of
pocket knives, and some other small ar
ticles. They also purloined a lot of pow
der, which makes it look as though they
contemplated taking a hunting trip. The
scamps left the implements with which
they bad effected an entrance, behind them.
Oar citizens had better keep a sharp look
out, and fasten things up securely at nights,
as burglary is becoming very frequent in
the country towns within the last few weeks .

PoatET Picxed. Rev. Daniel M Barber,
of Milton, Northumberland county, Pa., was
robbed at the Depot in Harrisburg early on
Saturday morning. He was seated in one
of the Northern Central cars, bound for Bal
timore, when he discovered that be had
been relieved of a pocket book containing
$150, together with his watch, a pass over
the railroad, several valuable papers in
short, almost everything loose or valuable
about bis person. The nnfortunate gentle
man was left quite destitute by the calamity
but, like another nnfortunate who ""fell
among thieves" on the way to Jericho, he
found a good Samaritan in the shape of an
old acquaintance, who relieved his tempo
rary wants. No clue to the perpetrators of
the theft has been discovered and what is
more, is not likely to be. Discovery is a
part not down in the pickpocket's program

two parties in distance wbo want dissolu

is the hobby. Sumner wans to biuake up

generally. They hold that if slavery sur
vives, the Union cannot endure. Secession

A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, The President of the United

seventeenth day of October last, has called
lor three hundred thousand volunteers to
recruit the regiments now in the field from
the respective States ; Aud whereas, By in
fornas'.ion received this day, the quota ol
tbe State ol Pennsylvania under said call is
declared to be thirty-eight thousand, two
hundred and sixty eight (38,268); And
whereas the President,in his said proclama
tion, requests the Governors ol the respect
ive States lo assist in raising the force thus
required :
Now, therefore, I, Andrew G. Curtin,
Governor of the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania, do earnestly call on the good and
loyal freemen of this Commonwealth to en
list in the service of the United States, un
der the proclamation aforesaid, so that the
required quota may be made np before the
fifth day of January next, on which day the
President announces that a draft wilt com
mence for any deficiency that may then ex
ist in the same.
The freemen of Pennsylvania enlisting
under (his call will be attached to regiments
from this State. All who are willing to en
list are requested to present themselves at
once for that purpose to the United States
Provost Marshal's recruiting and mustering
offices, in their respective cities, towns and
counties. They will receive the following
sums as allowance, pay, premium and
bounties, viz
To every recruit who is a volunteer, as
defined in General Order of the War De.
partment of June 25, 1863, No 191, for re

Let us maintain the glory which their valor
and conduct have reflected on tbe Common

promptness and alacrity on this occasion,
that they have not abated in courage or love
of country, or in the determination that the
unholy Rebellion, already stunned and stag
gering, shall be utterly crushed and extin
guished. Given under my hand and tbe great seal of

Embroidering, Ccrdmg, and so lortn. No
other Family Sawing Machin has sj much
capacity tor a great variety of work. It will
sew all kin Is ol clh and with all kinds of
thread. Great and recer.t improvement
make onr Family Sewing Machine most
reliable, and mont durable, and most eer
tain in action at all ra'es of ped. It
makes ihe interlocked stitch, which is the
best stitch known. Anyone even of the
mogt ordinary capaci'y,can see, at a glance
how to use the letter A Family Sewing
Machine. Our Family Sewing Machines

The Folding Cae of the Family Ma

of tt.e most useful kind. It proiects the ma
chine when not in use, and when about to
be operated may b opened as a spacious
and substantial table lo sustain the work.
While some of the Cases, made out of the
choicest woods, are finished in ihe sim
plest aud cha.vpt manner possible, others
are adorned and ernbelished in the most
costly and superb manner.
