We understand by the honie vote that east exclusively by civilians as dis tinguisbed from soldiers, On this a large amount of money has been staked which is likely to be contested—out ground taken is that in Philadelphia the army vote in the hospitals was all count ed as the home vote. This may amount to two thousand votes and must be ex cluded in computing the aggregate. We copy the following -from the Philadel phia. "Aqe" which we have not seen disputed and which settles the question: "There lean impressicni in stabile quar ters that the vote from the several hos pitals in thiS CRY is yet to be counted, and added to the aggregate returns. This is a mistake. The whole army vote of the city is embraced in the re turns already made with Um exception of that which may be polled by soldiers from Philadelphia who are now away from home.in camps or elsewhere. The soldiers in the Chestnut Hill Hospital, voted in the precincts in which it is 10 cated; and the same is the case with those the Twenty-fourth and othe r localities, and as the returns from all these wards are now in the proper of fice, the game is closed, so far as thi• particular mode of swelling the vote is concerned." f" -- "Several weeks in the advance o the assemblage of the Baltimore Conven tion, the New York Independent, an Ab olition paper, protested against the re nomination or Mr. Lincoln in the follow ing terms : "The country cannot afford to risk any second rate committee, chosen at hap-hazard, to be its President and Cab inet. It needs first class men, every one a pure diamond. If Cromwell and Mil ton themselves could return from their graves to serve us with their own geni us, they would not bring any ability su perfluous for the occasion. When one stops to think how the immediate future of this country shuts fast in its bud the whole world's hope—that by our victo ry or defeat the •happiness of all man kind is to be helped or hindered—so sol emn and serious becomes the question of the national leadership that sober men may well ask themselves, even three months In advance, "Who is suffi cient for LAW things?" Genuine Abelltionkm. Mr. William Lloyd Garrison is one of the most distinguished leaders of the A bolition party. In fact he is one of the fathers of that organization, and is treat ed by Mr. Lincoln and other converts who have made their fortunes out of his doctrines, with the respect due to an apostle, who fitted them out with their lucky budget of political capital. We present a specimen of one of the most popular of these effusions, to show the kind of eloquence in which the par ty of the Uttion delight: "I have said, and I say again, that in proportion to the growth of disunionism will be the growth of Republicanism. * * * * * The Mum; fir a Lin. * a covenant with death and a Union with hell. * * * * lAM FOR iTS OVERTHROW. * * * Up with the flag of Duittstiolv, that we may have a free and glorious Union of free States." No More Return on the Rome Vote. After a summing up at Harrisburg, the Shoddyites finding themselves beaten on the home vote, when the average vote of the counties was taken, authorized a telegraphic announcement that no more official votes would be re ceived on the home votes until that of the soldiSrs Was recorded. We have no doubt the Democratic majority in the State, but will not pefmit Republi cans to claim the highest vote in a coun ty „which is in their favor ,based as it has been in some cases upon Dqroner or Senator.

The Buffalo Commercial Idveitiser of Friday, which came to hand yesterday, contains a table of the Presidential vote which includes the two States above named. In all similar to bles heretofore published, so far as we have observed, those States have been omitted. Democrats, do not fail to be as sessed and pay your taxes in time. See that ate (lu:tidied, and, above all, vote. We know of many who call themselves Democrats and have talked very luudly heretofore, that shirked on the day of the last election. Let this not be repeated. I The total vote in Indianapolis in IS6O was 5,164; 14,1362 it was 5,498. This year it is 9,337. Th,p gain from '62 to '64 is about 3,Bs9—yet the Shod— dyites exult over this as the legitimate expression of the ballot box. It is not very hard to carry elections by this pro cess. The citizens of the First Ward will meet this evening at 7 o'clock in the Central Club Hall, for the purpose of organizing. All conservative men of the Ward are requested to attend, as a thorough organization is of the utmost imgortance. _ _ Singular Disclosures in the Brook lyn Navy Yard. Mr. Jeremiah Burke, residing at 49 North Fiflh street, Brooklyn, a black smith, working in the boiler maker's department, in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, for ten months past, makes the following statement: On the 18th of October he, with fifty four others working in that department, was informed by Mr. Maxon, master mechanic of the boiler maker's depart ment that he was to be turned over to the Naval Constructor's department. The following morning, with his fellow workmen, be appeared in the yard to be mustered in his new department, but was not mustered. A. committee was appointed to wart upon Mr. Davidson, Assistant Naval Constructor, to ascer tain the reason for the non-muster. Mr. Davidson, after a half hour's delay, call ed into his office all the workmen, singly, and propounded the following ques tions:— First--" Are you a Union man?" Lll answered In the affirmative. Second—"Do you belong to the Loyal League?" To which two only of the fifty-five answered that they were mem bers. Before propounding the third ques tion, he stated that he had a letter from the Secretary of the Navy, In which he asserted that ony man who voted for McClellan, or advocated his election, was a traitor and disloyal to the Govern ment, and could nut be employed on any public works. • Burke replied that he had served the country two years in iron clads during the present war, and the 'question of his political preferment had never before been a9ked; that he was not a traitor, but a loyal man, and he should vote for whom he pleased. Mr. Davidson then replied that he cauld dispense with his services, and he was discharged froth the yard at once. The two members of the Union League were:the only ones who were re stored to employment, and :are now at work in the iron clad shop—/f. Y. Her • ald.

In to-morrowN Post we will publish a correspondence of a number of citizens of 'Tennessee, ad dressed to the President, exposing this, contemplated. outrage ; in the meantime we direct- the readei's atten tion to the following account of the interview between the gentlemen allu&led to and Mr. Lincoln: - Bee how the usurper intends to manage his side of the question, in order to elect him self. The Interview with Mr. Lincoln I called upon the President to-day and presented and read to him the protest. Having concluded, Mr. Lin coln responded:— "May I inquire how long it took you and the New York politicians to concoct that paper?" I replied it was "concocted" In Nash ville, without communicating with any but Tennesseeans. We communicated with citizens outside of Nashville, but not with New York 'politicians. "I will answer," said Mr. Lincoln, emphatically, "that I expect to (et the friends of George B. McClellan manage their side of this contest in their own way; and I will manage my side of it my way.' "May I ask an answer in writing," I suggested. • "Not now. Lay those pipers down here. I will give no other tlnswer now. I may or may not write something about this matter hereafter. I understand this. I know you intend to make a point of this. But go ahead. You have my answer." Your answer, then, is that you ex pect the friends of Gen. McClellan to manage their side of the contest in their own way; and you will manage your side of it in your own way. "Yes." I then thanked the President for his courtesy in giving us a hearing at all, and took my leave. Judge Mason, of this city, was pres ent at the interview, to whom I refer In regard to the correctness of this report. Qn stepping outside of the door of the Executive Mansion I immediately wrote down the President's emphatic response and submitted it to Judge Mason and another gentleman, who happened to be present, and they both pronounced it accurate. And now I have a word to say to the people of the United States, who are or ought to be the masters of Abraham Lin coln. The people which I had the hon• or to present to the President is not "the concoction of New York politicians," however this might affect is merits. It is the solemn voice of a once free and proud people, protesting against their own disfranchisement by the agent of Abraham Lincoln. It is the voice of these loyal men in Tennessee who have borne the reproach of a people they still loved, supporting the President in all lawful measures to preserve the Union. The reward of our loyalty is dis franchisement. The cup of perjury is commended to our lips because it is knoWn that we will not touch its con tents. Judge ye between the people of Tennessee and Abraham Lincoln. It may be meet that our solemn and re spectful appeal should be thrown aside with a contemptuous sneer. Look to it. IC you, the people of the Northern States, shall sustain this act of tyranny, yo it own time will soon come. IC the President of the United States may 'Manage his side of the contest" by set ting aside the very letter of the Consti tution and altering the election laws of the States so as to disfranchise his oppo nents, liberty is already dead.

JOHN LELLYETT, Esq.—Dear Sir: In compliance with the request in your note of this day, I have olny to say that I was present at the interview referred to. Your statement of what took place is substantially correct, and on all mate rial points I believe literally so. Yours truly, GaAs. Meson. Monatt, the alleged railway murder er has indirectly been the cause of an other death; for, according to the Lon don Spectator, a lad, Job Bartlett, an ap prentice to a printer, working in an office in Ohancery Lane, hale lost his life from the effects of a too minute pre- Raphalite imagination actively engaged in working out Muller's career to its final scene. It appears that the boy's mind had engaged itself less with Mul ler's guilt than his assumed destination to the gallows. He had endeavored to form for himself a vivid impression of the sensation of hanging, and though a lad of cheerful disposition, had even al bwed his intellectual enthusiasm to carry him so far as to express a wish to be hanged himself. He then instituted a series of experiments with a rope at tached to a ventilator in the office, and his foot slipping on some glass inlaid into the floor to light the room below, he inadvertently fulfilled his own rash wish. A RssrLE for a coffin came off in Brooklyn, New York, recently. Awo marrwas told that her husband had been killed it Fisher's Hill, and that his body would be sent home. Straightway she bought a coffin, and made arrangements to wake and bury her unfortunate hus band; but, receiving a letter from him stating he was unhurt, changed her grief+ to joy, and at the suggestion of some friends she put up the coffin at a raffle, It was won by a young man, who, not liking a gentleman much given to poli tics in that ward, sent it to his 'house preceded by a hand-organ playing "Hail Columbia," followed by an immense crowd.

What is the -meaning of this metamor phose? Has the world been dreaming illthis while? It appears •to us that Maximilian has been as little understood 'iy the taciturn plottr of the Tuileries* as the fotay-seventWproblem in Euclid by an infant. OurF imperial neighbor* has worn a mask, Which, at his own convenience, he hits thrown off. He appears now as an independent prince— i a character much more consonant with his high connection than when he was presented to the woOd as a puppet of France. The Mexican enigma has a solution, which, to our mind, Lis at once obvious and easy. It is by no means a violent assumption that, at the inception of the Napoleonic idea in regard to Mexico, the Archduke Maidmilian was fully aware of French intentions towards him self and matured histiwn plans of action altogether independently of the implied programme projected by Louis Napo leon. .It is not within the bounds of probability to suppcise that Maximilian would have resigned his pretentions to the Austrian throne,—a proud and splen did position—to becUme the mere tool of France. His manhood and the pride of the Hapsburgs forbade the degrading ex. change. The conditions which he affix ed to the acceptanpe of the Mexican crown exhibited a settled purpose to make Mexican consent, rather than the will of the French Emperor, the tenure by which he held his throne. Actuated by this ;controlling motive, the young Emperoriarrived at his capi tal. With an energy which betokened a firm will, he set himself to work to as certain the wants ot his people andrem edy the political dislocations which had been produced by 1. ng years of misgov eniment. In the midst of this arduous , labor, however, he found leisure to be stow a watchful eve upon the move ments of his Frencht. friend, who, it may be safely said, was tiot idle in setting on foot and slyly push i n g to consummation certain comfortable projects, -commer cialcand otherwise, . hich promised, not only to make Mexicin commerce tribu tary to French suptemat y, but would place the Emperoil Maximilian bound hand and foot at Louis Napoleon's foot stool. Such a role 4s this was apart to which the proud Austrian could not stoop. His course vas at once taken, and, we believe, witl be inflexibly ad hered to. Assured that he can rally his people against the French,-he has wisely chosen his policy. ;This coldness to wards his old allies he will find the most certain guarantee o his power, and the shortest path to enduring popularity. The Roanoke—A plue to Her Fate. The Journal of Coptmerm of Thursday has the following rqative to the missing strainer Roariokr A gentleman who arrived at this port some days ago ;:from Wilmington, (whence he was exiled be the rebel au thorities for his sttong Union senti ments,) by way of Bermuda, brings in telligence throwing light on the fate of the missing Havana] steamer Roanoke. About a week previous to his departure from Wilmington, a rebel acquaintance f his told him that he was about to leave:for Havna via Bormuda, to take charge of the steamer Roanoke. Our in formant derived the impression; Without being so told, that the Roanoke had been s dd to the rebe, ls, and thought no more of it. When lie arrived at Bermu da he learned his :acquaintance, who was going to take charge of the Roa noke, had reached-that place on the steamer Atlantic, forming one of a party of thirty rebels heed by a naval officer from Bichmond, and that they left for Havana on a schooner. It-was not until Itis arrival at New York, and notices had appeared in the papers that the Roanoke was overdue ,and foul play was suspected, that these circumstances were recalled to his mem ory. It is now belief, putting to gether all his impressions upon the sub ject, that the band of rebels who went to Havana from Wilmington, took passage on the Roanoke, and seized her when she was out at sea. The statements and conjectures of our informant are conflrnoied by news brought by the steamer Havana, which followed the Roanoke, arriving here on Thursday, the oth instant. A' passenger on that steamer reported (his statement appear ed in our issue of the 7th) that, at the time the Roanoke sailed her Captain (Drew) was notified; that ho had a num ber of notorious rebtils among his thirty five passengers. The captain merely replied that he was prepared for any emergency, little suspecting the true character of a majority of the men on board. If thirty of I t thirty-five were secessionists—organ ed, armed and under the leadership of -a daring naval' officer—nothing coal be easier than for them to rise, over wer all opposition, and capture the vessel. All the proba bilities point to this bxplanation of the fate of the Roanoke.l She left ilavatta on the 80th of Septeinber, and was due here on the 2d'inst. 1 She is a schooner-rigged ; vessel, rated class 2, built in 1851 ',for the New York. and Virginia Steandship Co., of 1171 tons, 220 feet long, 89 feet broad, 27 feet of medium model, with 10 feet draft and Vertical engines of 420 nominal horse power. The Roane is isprobably better suited fot a blockaded runner than for a privateer. She wiltdoubtless be beard from under that narne,or some other be fore long.
