THE OOMI.G bTATx! ELEC
TION.
Thera is little use in discussing the
claims and qualifications of the candi
dates seeking the suffrages of the voters of
Pennsylvania at the approaching election;
nor to allude to the issues involved in the
contest. The people’s minds are fixed
already and have been; the only question
of uncertainty, in ragard to their action,
being the magnitude of the majority which
they intend bestowing upon the Democrat
ic candidates. If any one is in doubt
as to the result of the contest, we would
refer him to the Columns of the Abolition
press of the State; and especially to those
of the Philapelphia Norik American and
tbe Press, Those two leading organs of
the Administration are positively pain
ful in their efforts to arouse a
little enthusiasm tor their thrice con
demned candidates and cause. They know
that defeat, the most crushing and over*
whelming that ever overtook any party is
inevitable. They see this and
hence the want of spirit and cat-gut ex
hibited in their dreary and ponderons
leaders. The Press, indeed, exhibits a
little life, but it consists in calling names,
such as “copperhead” and Bympatizsr
with treason,” as if that twaddle was not
worn out wilh the result of our last elec
tion.

THE WOMEN DUfiING THE
SIEGE OP VIOKSBHBO
A letter writer who witnessed the pro
traetedstege of richsbnrg, relate 3
the women who refnsed to leave the city
under any eircnmstances at first, would
have g.veu all they had in the world to
have been outside , the lines during the
• latter part of the siege. It was pitiful to
aee tbejioor creatures come out of their
raves in the Morning, often not having
sle F t at all, go to their residences and get
their breakfast, and hasten back to their
retreat, each way running the gantlet of
abell, shot or bullets. A little girl was
sft-nch iquarely by a solid shot from a
20-pound Parrott gun, and blown into
atoms. The child, with its, mother, was

HOF MASSACHUSETTS WOEES IT-
Gov. Andrew promioed that if the Prtsi
dene would issue, a proclamation of eman
cipation, New England would swLrn: wi'.h
volunteers for the war. The desired docu
ment was issued, but no swarms arrived
from. Massachusetts. On the contrary,
the Springfield Republican, an Abolition
paper, remarks as follows :
It would seem as though we were a very
sickly and degenerated race, judging from
the long lists of exempts. It is plain the
Government will not get many men from
this draft, and if the whole of the original
quota called for is obtained, not only will
another draft have to be made, which trill
exhaust all the first class, but the second
elass totll be largely drawn upon also.
But it is more likely the Government will
get what msn it can from this draft, and
obtain whatever more may be Deeded by
volunteering and the payment of large
bounties. The fact that New Jersey ban
had permission to raise her men by volun
teering would seem to point t-o such a con
clusion.
Another Invasion
Tho Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Times, speculates as follows : •
From all that I can learn, it seems more
than likely that GeD. Lee is preparing for
another campaign against Washington.-
The facts ascertained by the reconnois
sance made by oar cavalry on the Ist inst.
indicate this, if they indicate anything at
all, although those facts are not generally
known. This reoonnoiaeance was sent
out from Warrenton. It crossed the Rap
pahannock above where the railroad cros
ses that stream, at a point four miles
above Kelly's Ford, and advanced toward
Culpepper. It did not advance half a
mile south of the river, however, before
the enemy was encountered in such strong
force that our troops we'e obliged to re
treat. It was ascertained by this recon
noissance that Gen. Lee’s whole army is
massed on the Bouth Bide of the Rappa
hannock River, in precisely the same po
sition whicn it occupied two weeks after
the battle of Chancellorsville, and when
Gen. Lee was beginning his preparations
for his recent campaign, namely, from
Culpepper on the 1. ft, to Fredericksburg
on the right; that he has been reinforced
not by any new regiments, but by new
recruits who have been sent to him
to. fill up his old rvgiment and to mount
the 12 OtIO fresh horse 3 which he obtained
in and that the reinforce
ments which he thus received, added to
the troops which he had already, make his.
present strength 150,000 men. With these,
including a body of cavalry 20,000 strong,
he expects to move on Washington again
in a few weeks; this time, it is said, by
the direct route from Fredericksburg to
Centraville. lam persuaded, however,
that he will first seek to defeat General
Meade’s army; and, if he thinks he can
do that best by a feigned retreat still farther
toward Richmond, in order to get Meade's
army nearer the rebel capita!— Bay in the
neignborhood of the headquarters of the
Pamunky River—that, you may depend
upon it, will be the tactics he will adopt.
And it ia more likely that the Admioi-tia
tion will order General Meade to indulge
him in this respect. If so, look out for a
defeat of onrarmy.

THE HEW YORK DRAFT,
4 not her better from the Presi*
•lent to Gov. Seymour.
Executive Mansion, \
Washington. Ang. 11, 1862. )
To Hi 3 Excellency Horatio Seymour, Oov
emor of Hew York :
Yours of the Bth, with Judge Advocate
General Waterbnry'B report, was received
to-day. Asking yon to remember that !
consider time as being very important,
both to the general cause of the country
and to the soldiers already in the field, I
beg to remind yon that I waited, at yonr
reqnest, from the Ist till the 6th instant,
to receive yonr communication dated the
3J. In view of its great length and the
known time and apparent care taken in
its preparation, I did not doubt that it
contained yonr fnll case as yon desired to
present it. It contained figures (or twelve
districts, omitting the other nineteen,-as
1 supposed, because you found nothing
to complain of as to them. I answered
accordingly. In doing bo I laid down the
principle to which I purpose adhering,
wmch is to proceed with the dratt, at the
same time employing infallible meana to
avoid any great wrong. With the com
munication received to day, yon sand fig
urea for twenty eight districts, including
the twelve sent before, and still omitting
three, tor which I snppoßethe enrollments
are . ot yet received, on looking over the
fuller list of twenty eight districts, I find
that the quotas for sixteen ot them are
above 2,000 and below 2,700, while of the
rest six are above 2 700 and six are below
2 000_ Applying the principle to these
new tacts, the fifth and seventh districts
must be added to the four in which
tbo quotas^hnvo already been reduced to
2 20u lor ihe first draft.,and with these fonr
Others m;i -t bu added to those to be enrol
led. The ; orrect case wtll then stand,
the quotas ot the 2d, 4th. 6th, 6th, 7th
and B.h districts fixed at 2.200 for the first
drait. The Provost Marshal General in
forms me that the drawing isalready com
pleted in the 12'h, 17th, 18th, 22d, 24th,
26,h, 27th 28th, 29th and 80lh districts.-
In the others, except the three outaand
mg, the drawing will be made upon the
quotas as now fied. After the first draft
the 2d,_4th, 6th, 6th, 7th, Bth, 16th, 17th,
21st, 25. h, 29ih and 31at will be re-enrol*
■ed lor the purpose and in the manner
slated in my letter of the 7th inst. The
same principle will be applied to the now
cuts at.ding districts when they shall come
in. No part of my former letter is repudi
ated by reason ol not being re stated in
this, or for any other cause.

“ Ice Famine in Philadelphia,
Oar neighbors in Philadelphia are ap
prehensive of an “ice famine.” The
Ledger aayß
On Monday we saw a man pay forty cts.
per pound for ice. It was a purchase to
surround a dead body. We do not quote
this as the market price of ice. but to show
its scarcity at certain times. The ice deal
ers will eei! only to those who are their
regular customers, except at exhorbltant
rates. The ice-cream dealers for three
days past have ceased to Bell the commod
ity in forms. They 801 l it only to persons
who eat it by the saucer. The government
must have it for the hospitals, and its
agents impress into use all that they want
as it comes into nort. Philadelphians can
now gain some idea of the state of things
in Now Orleans when under blockade,
and of Charleston and Mobile now. The

to be had.
L raft Decision
It has lately been decided by the Su
preme Conrt of Wisoonain, that where a
man, who has voted illegally, claims ex
emption from the draft on the ground of
alienage, he is not liable under the oon
seription law to military service, but is
amenable, for a violation of the election

Engineering Hun Jttacl.
A French lecomotive was lately exhibit
ed at the World’s Fair, London, which
had its boiler, cylinder, water tank, ana
coal bankers, built up to Buck a height
that it was a wonder to all who saw it how
the monster could ever pass under an or
dinary railway bridge. The Bmoke pipe
had to be coiled up along the back of the
boiler like an elephant’s trunk. It is in
tended for heavy traffic only. This is a
specimen of what engineering run mad
can do. Perhaps more time and money
has been spent in devising useless locc
motives than in any other class of engine,
rotaries alone excepted.
Absorption of Heat by Gases
In a paper recentlyread before the Roy
al Institution, London, by John Tyndall,
F. R. 8., relating to his researches on
the radiation and absorption of heat
by gaseous matter, ha stated that olefiant
gaa absorbed moro radiant heat than all
the other gases experimented with. A
layer of olefiant gas 2 inches in thickness
absorbed about 20 per cent, ol the entire
radiated heat. If a layer cf the gas 2
inches in depth, surrounded the earth, it
would offer no appreciable hindrance to the
solar rays in their earthward course ; but
it would intercept 30 per cent, of the ter
reetrial radiation, and the earth would be
raised to a stifling temperature.
Extent of tho Universe.
It may give some idea of the extent of
the Universe to know the length of time
required for light, which travels 194,000
miles n second, to come to this earth.—
From the moon it comes in cue and a
quarter Becor.ds; from the sua in eight
minntes; from Jupiter, in Gtiy-two min
utes; Uranus, in two hours; from a star
of the first magnitude, from three to twelve
years; from a Btar of the fifth magnitude,
sixty years; from a star of the twelfth
magnitude, four thousand years. Light
which left a star of the twelfth magnitude,
when tha Israelites left Egypt has not
reached the earth. Our entire solar ays
thousand miles an hour among the fixed
stars.
Growing,
The heat of the past few days, says the
Northern Republican, has been intense
and uncomfortable. To the growing
crops, however, it has operated with great
benefit. Corn and potatoes exalt in it.—
The ground had been wetted to a great
depth, and under the warmth of the enn
every stalk of corn has become as eary as
a mule. Potatoes alike thrive. The tu
bers in Bach weather expand to the size of
dumplings. The summer harvest is all
gathered. The autumnal crops are now
receiving a powerful stimulus towards
perfection.
Depth of Coal Beds.
Heath s mine, n Virginia, is represent
ed to contain a coal bed fifty feet in thick
ness ; a ooal bod near Wilkesbarre, Pa.
is said to bo twenty firs feet thick; at
Mancb Chnnk is a coal bed forty to fitly
feet deep, and in the basin of tho Schuyl
kill, are fifry alternate seam- uf coal,
twenty-five of which are more than three
feet n thickueos. In .Nova Scotia is a
coal ormation fourteen hundred feet de»p
and containing seventy five alternate lay
ers a coal. The Whitehaven coal mine
in Eigland, has been worked twelve hnn
dred feet deep and extends a mile under
the iea, and tho Newcastle coal mine in

New York, August 18,—Tb© steamer
Arago, from Port Royal via Charleston,
On Monday, has arrived. She brings the
17Gth Pennsylvania regiment, whose time
has expired. Correspondence of the Bth
says the rebels have built numerous ad
ditional batteries on James Island. We
have to encounter a hundred more guns
than Dupont did. The rebels are also
building interior lines of defence near the
city. About seven thousand troops from
the North have landed on Morris Island
during the past week.
A letter dated the 10th, says Gen. Gil
more has notified Admiral Dahlgren that
he will be ready to commence the attack
on the 18th. The navy is ready, and the
fighting will commence on that day
Great confidence ia felt in the fall of Forts
Sumter, Wagner and Cummirgs Point in
from two to six hours.
A deserter from Wagner -.ays that two
thirds of the guns have been removed
from Sumter and mounted on James Isl
aod; that the fall of Sumter is regarded
by the rebels as a certainty, the damage
done in April by monitors rendering it
hopeless to hold it. The deserter also
says Sumter was on the point of surren
dering when the monitors withdrew.
Weareßhelling night and day. Fcit
Johnson keeps up a brisk fire, and our
wooden gunboata go in every day and shell
the rebels. By Sunday next we will cer
tainly have Wagner, and within a few days
succeeding Charleston or its rains will be
ia oar possession. The gunboats and
mortar boats are stripping for the fight,
and at the time the Arago left the Iron
sides and three ganboata were shelling
Cummings Point. The weather is delight
