THE ELECTION YESTERDAY.
The election for county officers yesterday
passed off very quietly, and was marked
by no disturbances. The day was favor•
able to the polling of a large vote, but no
great interest seemed to be manifested and
the vote was the smallest in many years
From the returns received up to the hour
of going to press we are unable to state the
result with certainty, but unless the die'
Vida yet to come in change it very materi
ally. it will stand about as follows All
the candidates who were cn both tickets
are of course elected, the Republican As•
sociate Judge, Prothonotary, Commission.
er and Coroner; the Republican Assembly
ticket is elected, excepting Mr. Loew, who
is probably beaten by Dr. A. H. Gross.—
James Black more, Esq , the Union
candidate for Treasurer, is probably elect
ed. The Sheriff is yet in dbubt and the
result will probably be Ltsrmined by the
vote of the volunteers.

WE copy the lOU owing from the New
York Herald of Mcf.oday, which betrays a
condition of public feeling dreadful to
contemplate and may prove terrible in its
onsequences. There is hope only in MS-.
tamping the President in totally ignoring
all debate in reference to emancipation or
any other topic except the prosecution of
the war until the sword decides. Let
there be no division of public sentiment ,
if we entertain the remotest hope of sue
teas, for unity alone can command trium
phant victory :
The Daugera of Rebellion at the North,
The symptoms of a mutinous and sedi
tious spirit against the government are
daily and hourly developing themselves at
the North, in the radical wing of the Re
publican party and among the Abolition.
lets of the true blue stripe. Both factlQns
having been separated by only the breadth
of a hair, or the difference between tweedle
dam and tweedle dee,are cordially united in
opposition to the President, whose manly
letter to Fremont is the occasion for the
opening of a general fire upon him, from
the big sixty-four pounders down to the
popguns. Even the telegraph at St. Louis
is used to spread mutiny throughout the
North. Under these circumstances,it is
the duty of the conservative elements to
come forward and sustain Mr. Lincoln and
denounce the abolition traitors who are the
prime canto of the present misfortunes of
the country, and are doing their worst to
render permanent the mischief they have
wrought. The government itself. consult
ing its own safety, ought to seize and im•
carcerate the leaders, who are a thousand
times more dangerous than the editors of
Northern papers sympathizing with the
Southern rebellion and opposing the war
for the Union. The secession heresy never
had any strength at the North, and it is
now completely squelched here by the vig
orous action of the government. But a
more formidable and a tar mote extensive
disunion element openly defies the Presi,
dent, spits upon and execrates the constitu.
tion, which is the bond of the Union, and
threatens to subvert our whole political
system, turning it either into a consolida
ted military despotism or into a Mexican
anarchy, in which numerous petty chief.
tains will each play an independent part.
When the Southern secessionists were
forming their plans against the federal
government we warned Mr. Buchanan of
the danger and called on him to act with
energy. We told him that his foes were
of his own household,that leading members
of the Deinocratic party meditated the de
struction of the government. Our admo
nitions were unheeded and the consequence
is a bloody civil war. We now warn Mr.
Lincoln that there is disaffection to his gov
ernment in his own party at the North ;
that it is every day gaining strength, and
that unless he speedily crushes it it is very
likely soon to crush him and betray the cause
of the Union into the hands of its Southern
foss. This is now the real danger of the
country, and it should be promptly met
by the powerful arm of the government,
before it consolidates its strength and ma
tures its plans.
If the policy of the red revolutionary
Republicans prevailed, and the government
were weak enough to succumb to it and
endorse such proclamations as Fremont's,
or issue others to the same effect, the North
would become a divided instead of a united
people, and the South would become so
thoroughly united that it would be as easy
to And a white crow as a Union man be
yond the Delaware and the Ohio. When
the war commenced no sane, well informed
man hoped for the success of our arms un
less upon the basis of a Union element in
the Southern States, which would become
developed as our armies advanced, The
malignity of abolitionism seeks to destroy
that element and convert it into one of
hostility, and if it is only successful, the
men of the present generation will not live
to see the end of the war; and from its
vast, extensive nature, covering an area of
twoothirds of the soil of the United
States, it will soon exhaust and ruin the
country
One Hundred Z houvaud Stand of Arms
Ordered.
Orders have been given for one hun
dred thousand stand of arms, to a for%
eign house, twenty-five thousand of
which are to be delivered within sixty
days. T t latrin is similar to those used
by the Masseurs li'Afrique, and is
said to be of a very superior order.

rich hi Alexandria
tturday afternoon, one of the tele
graph officials rode into the quarters at
Alexandria, in company with two or
three crderlie , and one officer. Ile was
res •I rather shabbily, though "a
handsome wan." As they passed along,
a uuushi!r• of youm.; ladies saw them,
a id suppmieil he was a prisoner, and
aieordin* followed tiling to sec. He,
wishing to carry out the joke, told them,
on their arrival at their quarters, that
he was a colonel of a i7,eorgia regiment.
The girls eon lobed with him, and prom
ise ' him he sh.mid he taken care of.
They all went away, and shortly re
turned with Eimc tore of their friends
ail , ' half a di zen beautiful boquots,
c - mipanied with their cards finely per
fantod, and done up with ribbons ar
ranged in Ilebel styie. They did not
embrace him then, but were to come
round and sin; Rebel songs under his
window that night; but about dusk be
had to leave for Washington, carrying
oil' his trophies and leaving the girls to
sigh for the unfortunate colonel.
Up the Wroug Tree
A t eleven o'clock on Friday:evening,
Second Lieutenant S. J. SIGLER, First
Virginia Cavalry, un ler command of
Col. STEWART, was brought into the
city by Lieutenant MARTIN, of YOUNG'S
Cavalry. Ile was taken while gather.
ing chestnuts from a tree about three
miles beyond Falls Church, toward
Fairfax Court !rouse. He was with a
cavalry picket guard, two of whom were
under the tree, and on being surprised
by a squad of our troops they, with the
other two under another tree, tied with
out. their horses. The Lieutenant says
that the Rebel army iA good to whip
300,000 of our men whenever General
IieCLELLAN is pleased to present his
card for a brush. Though not decidedly
so expressed, his conversation indica
ted clearly that G-en. WINSTON, now in
command of the army, does not pro
pose to attack Gen. McCr.m.LAN, but
will hold himself in readiness for an ad ,
vane() from our side. He says that our
meu were within six hundred yards of a
regiment of Rebel infantry.

Paducah to be Attacked.
There are indications that the rebels
are concentrating in force for an at
tack upon Paducah. They hope to be
able to catch our troops there as Price
caught Mulligan at Lexington, Mis
souri, but the chances are that they
will be bitterly disappointed. Wre have
near ten thousand men at Paducah,well
provided with artillery, and the place
could be strongly reinforced from Cai•
ro, Bird's point and Gen. Sheman'd
command, while the river could cer
tainly be kept open by our gunboats,and
communication maintained with the
northern bank by the floating
bridge.
The Loss ot the Fanny.
From information in possession of the
Government, it is believed that the sur
render of the steamship FANNY, to the
Rebels, was through treason. All hands,
both crew and military, could have ess
oaped and set the ship on fire, or could
have thrown over her guns and ammu
nition, and the Rebels would not have
known about it. They had four hours
notice of the Rebels coming down on
them, and an officer in command told
them that they were lost ; and that they
would fare better if they kept every
thing in good order. A small ~lot of
ammunition was, however, thrown over
board.
Colonel Thomas F. Meagher at the
Academy of Music.
Col. ThOILI,B Frences Meagher delivered
an eloquent and pateietie address at the
Academy of Music, New York, in aid of
the Irish Brigade, on Sunday evening --
Notwithstanding the admission fee the
Academy was crowded to its utmost capa-
city, in every available part, by sn inter.
ested and enthusiastic audience. An ex
cellent band played national and favorite
airs previous to the commencement of the
regular exercises,
Judge Daly iutrodue d the speaker in a
few appropriate remarke,
Coe Meagher,after the keel and continu
ed applause with which he was received,
commenced by saying that there were few
battle fields in modern history where the
Irishman bud not soft the impress cif his
bravery. And now, this very hour, in
this land, he has presented to him a cause,
the justice, the righteoesneea, the sancity,
the grandeur of which cannot ho extig
eerileed nor impeached. (Applause ) He
invoked to-night the fidelity of the Irish
man to this cause. Tee gevernment is
criminally, insolently, mureeruusly assail
ed. The SJIV hern pe lite are trempling
the ballot box beneath their feet, and iris
suiting the flag which has been their fath
ers' glory and has been their best pretec•
Lion in other lands. In justification for
their innovations and excesees they rennet
point to one single substantial grievance
received at the hands of the government.
The South, instead of being oppressed, bee
neon the dictatorial PeCtin*: 01 the Union
for the Ise: helf century' See be come to
consider the presidential che'r one tif her
peculiar institutions (leueliter); and he•
cause person hae hien elected to that
eaeir whom she considers °Neese'', to her
interests and institutions, ShA ettempts to
overthrow the government. Trio chief
magistrate should be judged not by what
he has been, but by what be does wei'oec
cupying his exalted position. If the plat
form on which the President had been
elected had been written by the dark lan
tern of Daniel Cillmen, or remned be Gus
tavus Adolphus Narcissus licreee-, (laugh
ter) the sneaker would have beer. in favor
of always subreittieg to the peocee's will.
Reject the ballot-box, and you cut the ere
puelic adrift from the ,ole anch rage
at
which it can rede with safety. (Applause )
From the moment that Abraham Lincoln
took his oath of eflhe tee platform on which
he had been elected vanished free, his
view. The speaker admitted and insisted
that, the Setith Lad had Calla , of irritation
from the philoeuphi Liege of 11 ,rsc s Gres.
(Hisses ) Mr, Meagher—Oh,

The CongrepsionalDolegate from Da.
John B. S. Todd, who has been elected
Congressional delegate from lii,cotah, is a
Democrat and was elected over Bell, the
Republican nominee. The Milwaukee
Daily Vews thus enlightens us
~ as to his
ent , -cedents He was recently appointed
brigadier general. He has served in the
regular army eighteen years. He gradu•
ated from West Point in 1837 and entered
the Sixth Infantry as second lieutenant;
was promoted to first lieutenant in Decem•
ber of the same year and was made cap
tain in 1843. He served throughout the
wars in Florida and Mexico with distinc.
lion and resigned his commission in 1855.
He settled in Dacotah and was appointed
sutler at Fort Randall. He has been ac
tive in opening up that vast and rich region
to settlement and mainly instrumental in
organizing the Territory of Dacotah
Gen. Todd is a man of ability and a high
toned gentleman. He was born in Ken
tucky and first appointed from Dlinois.—
Ho is said to be a relative of Mrs. Lin-.
coin.
Governor Morton, tif Indiana, has
authorized the raising of a regiment
among the railroad men of that State. It
is thought that one could be immediately
enlisted among the employees of the
various roads. Dr. Caruthers, the pop
ular Superintendent of the Jefferson
ville Railroad, is spoken of for Colo
nel, and S. M. Avery, Superintendent
of the Indiana Central, for Lieutenant
Colonel. Four or five companies will
be raised on the line of the Ohio and
and Missieiippi Railroad, and forty
seven for a company have altdady
been obtained between Madison and
Indianapolis.
A Regiment of Railroad Men
Emancipation Unite the North?
When the emancipation epeeeh de.
livered by Senator Funnier neiure
Worcester Convention was tran:Quittt
to us by telegraph, we preferred to pull.-
lish it unaccompanied by any com
ments, because the delivery of such a
speech by such a man was to much in
keeping with his character to be 3
fact of any significance. We waited
to see what reception it would meet
with in Massachusetts, and t) observe
the ton in which it would be criticised
by the Republican press in other parts
of the country; for although the speech
was of little consequence in itself, it'
might be of some use as an index to
the present tendeccies of public senti
ment on a qupstiuu of the very highest
importance. In times like these,
men's opinions are moulded prineipally
by events, and it is a matter of interest
to ascertain how far, it' at all, the
course of the war his developed a ten-
dency in the public icincl to make the
emancipation of the slaves an instru
ment for its further prosecution. The
interest we have felt in this question
has resulted from our solicitude that
nothing should occur to brew; the uni
ty of the loyal states, whose hearty
and united support of the war is the
one indispensable condition of ifs scuff•
c• ss I f our whole people shall eve
bu breuglit to concur in tlve expedien
cy of proclaiming the emancipation of
the southern slaves, it will only be in
consequence of a sneee. sloe of disass
trolls defeats by which the northern
mind will be so stung and exasperated
that it will not hesitate to resort to the
most blind and terrible measures of re
taliation. The Tribune may deem it
desirable to "educate" the pubic mind
up to this pitch of frenzy by the stern
discipline of accumulated disasters,
but it is q uite certain that the great,
mass of the northern pef,ple :ire capable
of acquiring this education only le the
sc h oo l o f ca l a mity. I.ly the adoption 01,
Mr. Sumner's scheme at - -eseut, the
isfAertiument would thrhw a firebrand of
discord into the loyal states. We have
tuothing to say, On one aide or the
other, as to what it ms.y be expedient
to do si c menthe hence. It is to be
hopsil that there will be sufficient
statesmanship at Wa.shingten to deal
wisely - with any new phase of affairs
which the future may disclose. 'Flue
only i l ti..stion which muncerms us now
tiler the present p they of the ad
ministration ought to receive the sup
port of the country.
It is obvious that the war cannot be
branch' to a suceessful issue by the
men who formed the radical wing of
the la c Republican party. Unless
they can furnish all the funds and do
all the fighting, they are not entitled to
dictate the policy of the war. Nor
ould they be, even then, for the other
citizens of the loyal states, who so far
outnumber them, lave at least as great
an interest in the country as they
Karr, and as good a right to have a
voice in the management of the war.
Nothing but the terrible logic of events
would ever bring these loyal citizens to
give in their adhesion to the emancipa
tion policy of Mr. Sumner even if it
should he adopted by the acluiinistras
tion. Unless the public sentiment of
the North were to become nearly
unanimous in favor of emancipation, it
would be a gigantic blunder for the
administration to procla;m it. The
success of the war is the paramount
consideration; but there is no reason to
hope that the war can be successful
without the un.ted support of the
net thorn pc:Thu. W hatever virtue
there may be in emancipation as a
means of subduing the South, it is a
pretty safe proposition that a third of
the North, with emancipation inscribed
en its banner, would not . belas sfrang as
the whole North without it. ',flying
equally out of view, for the present,
the nogrophilism of the one side and
the constitutionalism of the other, and
looking at the question in the purely
practical aspect of probable
success, it is tolerably clear that eman.
cipation can never be an effective war
measure until there is a general convic
tion of its expediency.
It is in this single aspect that WO
have chosen to regard Mr. Sumner's
speech, esteeming it of no importance
whatever except as political chaff for
catching the direction of the wind
Massachusetts is, without doubt the
most high-toned antislavery state in
the Union, it and South Carolina hays
ing long been regarded as the opposite
poles of the political magnet Wlan,
therefore, we find that the emancipation
scheme, though broached by one of her
own senators, is repudiated with every
mark of disfavor iu that state, and by
the Republican party of that state, we
may interpret it as a pretty certain in
dication that the public sentiment of
the country is such that a proclamation
of emancipation would fatally divide
and distract the North, s evidence
of the manner in which Massachusetts
repudiates the scheme of Mr. Sumner,
we ask attention to the following ex.
tracts from an article in the Boston Ads
vertiser, a paper whose ability, candor,
and Republican antecedents give pes
culiar weight to its statements on this
subject :
"The convention certainly disavowed
any intention of indorsing the fatal doc
trines announced by Mr. Sumner, with a
distinctness which can scarcely be flatter
ing to that gentleman's conception of his
own influence in Siassaohusetts, The reso
lutions offered by Rev. Mr. Clark, as a
crucial test of the readinc's of the C , nven
tion to adopt open ab3hti as it, creed,
went to the table and were burled never to
rise. *
It is alleged that the Convention cheered
Mr. Sumner. H s supporters among the
delegates and spectators undoubtedly did so,
but who does not see that this goes for
nothing in the face of the obvious fact that
the silent party, whc disapproved, ware so
much superior in number as to control the
action of the whole body ?
A glance at these facts, as it seems to us,
is enough to show the extreme anfairneas
of the attempts to charge sinister purposes
upon the Republicans of Massahusetts as a
body. The attempt is, however, as unwise
and ur patriotic as it is unfair. It may not
appear so to Mr. Sumner and his support
ers, and it may be forgotten by some who
oppose him, but we hold it fur an incon•
testible truth, that neither men nor money
will be forthcoming• for this war, if once
the people are impressed with the belief
that the abolition of slavery, and not the
defense of the Union, is its object, or that
its orig Mal purpose is converted into &cloak
for some new design of seizing this ripper
tunity for the destruction of the social sys.
tern of the South. The people are heart
rd soul withrtheir government in enpport
;An. c.s.r.etitutionni undertaking; we do
b thoy will follow tt if that'
are L., .ci to suerct 'oat they are being de•
eelved into the buppord, of any unoonstitn-
Lions.: and I . ..:volutlonary designs.
The speech, to which we have several
Lime 7 , 1. - 7. u. has certainly done as much
es t 2, wlthic, c , anpaE-a of one man's
powers h inspire th . .a;.uspicion, to distract
and weaken the loyal, and, by indirection,
to aid the disloyal, But they are as culpa•
hie and as Liss - Am-ma to the public welfare
as lir. :umr,er recklessly strengthen
the effect of what he said, who represent a
Groat party as curif-atiLg, to the schemes
which and whe are telling the
pecp!e, hero and eisewhere,that the success
of certain norninePs,wnich is sure to occur,
will be the triumph of an unconstitutional,
wicked and dangerous pulicy_"
Mr. Sumner is evidently More of a
philanthropist than a statesman or he
would not place himself in open hos
tility to the policy of the administra
tion this subject, at a time when
the greatest success to which he could
aspire is to divide the North and
weaken the government. 'liven if he
could at once bring the administra
tion to adopt his scheme, this would
be its instant effect.
But Mr. Sumner's pbilanthropy,too,
is of a one sided and impracticable
sort or it would never teach him thus
to a power which is striking
.ws at slavery than his showy
rhetc,r:;. rye; dreamed ✓ of dealing, and
to prefer a bloody and horror spreading
end for an institution whose inevitable
doom may be as peaceful as the mould
ering of the upas.
