CLEARFIELD, PA., OCT. 16, 1801.
THE RESULT IK CLEARFIELD COUNTY.
The election is over. The majority against
McEnally and Wilcox for Assembly in the
.couity is about 427, which has been reduced
by army returns already received to about
320, and will probably be further reduced be
low 300 by tbe army returns yet to be receiv
ed. The majorities against our county ticket
are on an average 100 votes or upwards great
er than against our Assembly ticket.
It will be said tbat this indicates a change
in the minds of the people. But it is not true
that there has been a change in favor of the
policy of the Democratic party. Tho vote on
Assembly is the best test as to tbe public sen
timent respecting questions of State or Na
tional policy. And, takiog that as the test,
there is nothing iu the result to discourage us.
In Oct. 1860, the vote was more fully out than
ever before, and then, Foster's majority over
Curtin was 283. And we doubt whether, when
tho army returns are air in, if the majority
against us en. the Assembly ticket will exceed
that number. If it does it will be but a trifle.
The rcsHlt is owing to several causes. First,
There are from 350 to 400 voters of Clearfield
eoun- in tho army, and of these quite four
fifths would vote the Republican ticket. This
would take from ns from 210 to 240 of our old
majority and transfer it to the army. A por
tion of this majority we will get back again
with the army returns, but another portion we
will lose altogether. Some of the men are
scattered in distant companies ; and in some
companies, tho leading officer under tho
influence of Breckeuridge politicians, may
have held no election and thereby deprived
tho soldiers of their right to vote. Wo may
from these causes estimate a loss ot about
100 in the general result.
We lost again from a rafting flood on tho
day of election, which took away a largo num
ber of our men. This cause made tbe general
result in tho county at least 50 worse for us
than it would otherwise have been. We lost
again by the superior zeal of our opponents in
bringing out their whole vote. They brought
out every thing within reach that belonged to
their party, they made a desperate effort,
and if one of their men went to rafting that
day be was sure to go and vote first. Our men
were generally at the polls, but we think that
sxmo were not out who ought to have been
' there,' and that thereby we lost many votes
throughout te county. An occasional per
son who voted tbe Republican ticket last year,
. may hare gone over to the Democratic party
this year, but this class is small. On the
other hand, we know of changes from the
Democratic party to the Republican side which
will overbalance all changes of tbat kind that
- may be against us.
Tho Breckinridge leaders of the Democratic
party were untiring aud unscrupulous in their
. efforts. ; In the beginning of the compaign
, tbe war was denounced as Lincoln's War,"
and as a "War of subjugation of the South ;"
and the infamous Day-Book was circulated as
a kind of text-book, backed by their organ
the Clearfield Republican. It was hardly to
he supposed that any Democrat who believed
such stuff would efTlist in our army at all.
And in truth very few of them did. After
having tried this course till they found the
patriotic public sentiment of the couutry to
- be against them, they suddenly came to a halt,
modified their platform and professed to be
. very patriotic in sustaining the Government
The Day-Book was suppressed by the Govern'
- ment and the Clearfield Republican' liQ been
lately trying, with as good grace as possible,
to lower its tone. With their usual disregard
of truth they proclaimed abroad that a large
majority of the volunteers from this county
were Democrats. The returns from tbe army
answer that falsehood.
We see nothing in the result to discourage
any Republican. We are more assured than
' ever of the justice of our cause and the truth
of our principles ; and we have no doubt of
their ultimate success. Whatever appears
like a loss to the Republican party of this
county, arises chiefly from the patriotism of
its members in enlistiffg in our armies, and
going forth to fight the battles cf the coun
try ; whilst tho Breckinridge Democracy more
, generally remained at home to abuse the Ad
ministration and to vote.
Ansa Ella. Carroll, a Maryland lady of
distinguished ability, concludes an article in
which she discusses the constitutional power
of tbe President to make arrests and to sus-
pend the writ of habeas corpus, aa follows :
"The President, so far from violating, is he-
' roically defending the rights of Americans in
arresting criminals who are engaged in secret
or covert war upon this Government. Instead
". of handing them over to the courts for trial, con
demnation, and execation, as he has the clear
. right to do so, and as every other Government
- but ours upon earth unquestionably would, he
only holds them as captives to prevent them
from destroying tbe bleod-bougbt rights
' which every citizen who remembers ho is a
man and was born of & woman, should fly to
jescna and defend!
. . .Asleip Tte lVide-dwakes,we have not seen
.a cape, nor smelt a lamp this fall. Cl'fd Rep.
, . That's a fact f They aro all brave boys and
- have gone to whip the "Breckinridge Democ
racy" who are trying to destroy the Uaioa.
. THE ASSEMBLY TICKET- .
Tbe result ot tbe Assembly ticket in this
district is still in doubt. We give tbe returns
as far as known.

We have yet to get tho army vote of Jef
ferson county, and perhaps of otherVolunteers
from Clearfield, Elk, and McKean counties.
The vote of Jefferson county is about 1100
less thanit Curtin's election last year, and a
bout 800 of these are in the army. The re
turns yet to be received are expected to give
a large majority for McEnally ami Wilcox,
but whether it will be enough to elect them is
uncertain. Fnlly four-fifths of the Volunteers
hi the army from Clearfield county are Repub
licans, and we believe this to be the case
throughout tbe district. As far as the army
returns have been received, nearly nine-tenths
of the vote polled for Assembly have been for
McEnally and Wilcox.
We understand that no election was held in
the company from Clearfield called the " Wash
ington Cadets," commanded by Capt. J. O.
Lorraine. Some Democratic politicians went
on to their camp immediately belore the elec
tion, of course to seo which way the wind was
blowing. When it was ascertained that the
vote would likely be against tho Democratic
party, we suppose some officer of Democratic
sympathies under the influence of political ad
visers, decided to hold no election, and thus
deprive tho boldiers of the right to vote. If
there had been any probability of a Democrat
ic majority there is no doubt the election
would have been held. If the Democratic
Assembly ticket has been carried this is one
of tho ways by which it has been done.
Sugar a Salt. While the people of the
South appear to be suffering terribly for want
of salt, tbe planters of Louisiana are anticipa
ting an immense crop of sugar. The follow
fng paragraph from an article in a Washington
paper, will give an idea of the sugar prospect
in "the Pelican State."
"All accounts from Louisiana concur in re
presenting that tbe growing crop of sugar
promises vastly to exceed any crop before
known. If nothing unexpected happens to it,
a crop of 600,000 hogsheads, equal to seven
hundred millions of pounds, is anticipated.
The greatest crop raised heretofore was that
of 1853,when 449,324 hogsheads were produced.
The smallest (of late years) was that of 1853,
when, through the combined effects of drought
and early frost, only 73,976 hogsheads wero
produced. Last year, the yield was 228,753
hogsheads, and the year before, 221,830."
If the expected produce of the present year
be not overrated, Louisiana might furnish a
bout three-fourths of all the sugar consumed
in the country for a year to come ; and as the
duty of two cents a pound, imposed by the new
tariff, would add tbat much to tbe value of
sugar, it is easy to see what the sugar-growers
of that State have lost by seceding from the
Union. Their loss in this article for the
large surplus which they will . have on hand
without a market will greatly reduce its price
will not bo less than $25,000,000. It is quite
probable, that beiore another year is over, too
much sugar and too little salt. M ill satisfy sugar-
planters that secession is a very expensive
luxury.
Joun C. Brhckinridge a "K. G. C." The
precipitate flight of John C. Breckinridge,
without apparent cause, is fully explained by
a letter from Paducah, Ky.. in the New York
Herald. The letter states that when the Fed
eral troops took possession of Paducah. i
"castlo" of the K. G. C.'s was seized, wherein
were found some important documents. Th
writer states :
"Among them are letters carefully filed from
governor uerian iuagonin, senator John u
Breckinridee, Gen. Gideon J. Pillow. Gen
Buckner, Mr. Representative Burnett and
others, all of whom are thus proved to have
been members of this treasonable league, and
many of them file leaders in the movement
A copy of the proceedings of three meeting!
of the National Castle was found, which lot;
in several rays of light upon the strange con
duct of Governor Harris. Jackson and Ma.
coffin, and the breaking un of the Charleston
Convention ; letter or, rather private circular
from two members of Mr. Buchanan's Cabin
et, whilo yet in office, stating the number and
Quantity of arms which would be in the South
ern States at the expiration of the torm nf
oflico, and other information which will be of
use wnen the rebellion is crushed. '
m The seizure of these documents was kept
secret until several ot the traitors had been
arrested. Three of them are now in Fort
ljaiayeue. iirecKinriago got wma ot his
danger in season to escape, which is a great
py.
Smelling Powper. It seems to be under
stood that General McClellan is pursueing the
plan of meeting the rebels with small bodiei
of troops in frequent reconnoisances and fora
ging expeditions, for the sake of getting them
accustomed to being under fire. They are ta
king their turns in being shot at, as a part of
their elementary discipline. "All the drilling
in the world will not make them soldiers with
out the frequent smell of powder,' and this
they are now enjoying every few days." '
It has been usual, heretofore, to traverse the
county, and hold political meetings. . . Hav
ing selected their candidates, and placed them
fairly before the people they desired nothing
more be done. . . This is the sum and sub
stance of their efforts Clearfield Rep. Oct. 7.
Wonder if the Democracy did not hold two
meetings in Clearfield, one in Brady township,
one in New Washington, and one at Millport ?
Passage or United States Troops through
Mexico. Mr. Corwin has obtained permission
of the Mexican Government to allow the free
and unrestrained passage of out- troops through
Mexico, when necessary to operate against
tbe rebels.

Fortress Monroe, Oct 7. The steamer Ex- '
press met this morning, by agreement, the
rebel steamer Northumberland, with a flag of
truce 12 miles above Newport rews, and
brought down fifty-seven wounded prisoners
released at Richmond. They were captured
at Bull Run. They report that there are about
5,000 troops in Richmond and that the rebel
army on tbe Potomac is supposed to number
150,000. Tbe apprehensions of attacks on tbe
seaboard creates the greatest anxiety. Power- !
f ul batteries have been erected along the James
river, in anticipation of an advance of the !
Federal army in that direction. The arma
ment has been removed from the rebel steamer
Jamestown. The prisoners did not see the
steamer Yotktown, having probably passed
her during the night. The troops at Hicb
moud were composed of North Carolinians
and Georgians. Gov. Brown, of Georgia, has
recalled five regiments to defend thai State.
The rebel troops were suffering greatly from
the want of medicines, clothing and certain
kinds of food. Tbe articles cut olf by tbe
blockade were bringing fabulous prices. Tbe
wounded prisoners were released for the reason
that their wants could not be supplied. They
have been obliged to sleep on the floor during
their imprisonment. Gen. Beauregard was at
Manassas and Jeff. Davis returned to Richmond
on Saturday last in feeble health. Specula
tion is rife as to his successor. Seventeen of
the released prisoners, who are unable to go
home, have been sent to the Old Point hospi
tal. The others go north to-night. Mr. Ely
has been declared a prisoner of war by tho
rebel Congress and is still confined in Rich
mond. Col. DeVilliers, of the Ohio Seventh
regiment, escaped by stratagem from Rich
mond, and was nearly six" weeks in making his
way to Norfolk. Commodore Goldsborough
went to Washington yesterday in the steamer
Philadelphia, and is expected to return to Old
Point to-morrow. Brigadier-General Williaias
arrived at Old Point this morning, and will
proceed to llatteras Inlet by Jhe first boat, to
assume the command.
Jefferson City, Oct. 7. Generals Fremont
and McKinstry left for the west this afternoon.
It is stated here that Gen. Wool is now on his
way to St. Louis, and is to bo followed by 1 it y
thousand troops, half of whom are to stop at
Cincinnati and go into Kentucky, while the
other half are to erter into active operations
in Missouri, and supply the place of Gen. Fre
mont's army. Information has been received
here that about three weeks ago a slave insur
rection was attempted in Jasper county, and
tbat about thirty-five of the negroes were killed
and a number of others were to be hanged.
The discovery ol the plot proved that the in
surrection was wide spread and that the slaves
intended to murder their masters and perpe
trate all manner of barbarities. A report is
current here that 2,000 rebels ate 26 miles
from Herman, marching towards the Gascon
ade river, with tho intention of burning the
railroad bridge across that stream. These
rebels are said to be headed by Miskel Johnson.
It is Gen. Fremont's intention to follow Price
rapidly and continuously. After leaving
Sedalia, he will march frouf25 to 40 miles a
day, according to tbe condition of theiroad,
and if necessary he will enter Arkansas lie
says he does not want any more men, that he
has a sufficient force to go anywhere through
the South. He seems to have entire confidence
in his army and officers, and his soldiers re
pose great trust in him. Inlbrmation having
been received here that McCulluch's forces
were on the south bank of tho Osage river, a
few days since, with the design of cutting off
Fremont's communication with St. Louis, aud
then marching on that city. Strong and ex
perienced scouting parties have been sent out
to scour the whole Osige couutry.
Cairo, Oct. 7. The gun-boats Tyler and
Lexington, while reconnoitering down the river
to-day, fell in with the rebel gun-boat Jeff.
Davis. They chased her to within two miles
of Columbus, when the batteries on the Ken
tucky shoie opened on them. The rebels used
some twenty guns, some ot which were rifled
cannon. . The engagement lasted an hour.
No damage was done to tbe boats. The rebel
loss is not ascertained.
Fortress Monroe, Oct. 8. The frigate
Susquehanna has arrived from llatteras Inlet
and brings most interesting intelligence. The
day after the capture of the Fanny the Ceres
and Putman having one of the. launches of the
Susquehanna in tow went up to Chicinicomac
and lauded seven days' provisions, returning
the same evening without having seen any
thing of the Confederates. On Friday, how
ever, word reached llatteras Inlet by the
Stars and Stripes that twenty-five hundred
confederates consisting of a Georgia, South
Carolina and" Virginia regiment, had come
over from the main land in six small steamers
and schooners with flat boats, and had attack
ed the Iudiana regiment, who were obliged to
retreat. The Susquehanna and Montciello
steamed up outside while Col. Hawkins marsh
ed up with six companies and reached llatter
as light by night fall, a distance of thirteen
miles, and during the night Col. Hawkins was
joined by the Twentieth Indiana regiment,
who had passed in the darkness a large body
of tbe rebels landed for the purpose of cutting
them off. Col. Brown reported a loss of fifty
men as prisoners, comprising his sick, wound
ed, and twenty pickets who could not be call
ed in. He succeeded in saving his tents, pro
visions, &c. On Saturday morning the Mon
ticello steamed around the cape and a few
miles up the coast met the confederates march
ing down the narrow neck of land to attack
our troops. Rebel steamers were also landing
men to co-operate with them. They were in
easy range and the Monticello opened upon
them with shells of five seconds fuse. Two
hundred and eighteen of which were fired from
three guns in three hours and thirty minutes
doing great execution. The confederates at
first tried to shelter themselves behind a sand
hill and then in a narrow copse, but soon
broke in every direction and took refuge upon
their vessels. A shell passed though the
wheel house of the Fanny which was already
employed against us. It is supposed that
their loss must have reached between two and
three hundred killed and wounded. During
the engagement a member of tbe Indiana reg
iment wbo bad been taken prisoner managed
to break tbe rope with which he was tied and
escaped. He took to the surf and was picked
up by a boat from the Monticello. He reports
that the first sLell from her killed Col. Bartow,
of a Georgia regiment, and tbat .the havoc
was frightf ul. He also reports that when he
escaped he killed a confederate captain with
his pistol. Upon the withdrawal of the con
federates, the Monticello and Susquehanna
landed the forces and returned to Uatteras
Inlet. Lieut. Burhhead of the Susquehanna,
from whom I have obtained the above account,
thinks that no advance can be made from the
Inlet without the support of a fleet of light
draught vessels, and that our force at tbe In
let should be speedily Increased. The-J- R.
Spaulding had arrived on the 7th with Gen.
Mansfield and landed her men and stores.
Too much praise cannot be accorded to Lieut.
Brain, of tbe Monticello, for this brilliant a
chievement which has caused great exulta
tion at Old Point. Col. Brown narrowly es
caped with the Indiana regiment, lie was
shelled from the confederate vessels, and
troops were landed both above and below him,
yet he managed to escape with comparatively
small loss. The particulars of his masterly
movement have not yet arrived.
Washington, Oct. 8. As the Campbell ar
tillery were passing near the President's house
this afternoon, on their way trom the grand
artillery and cavalry review, the ammunition
box on one-of the gun carriages exploded with
a noise like the report of cannon. The box
contained shell and solid shot. The three ar
tillerymen sitting on the lid of it were vio
lently lilted several feet and slightly scorch
ed, and falling into the street were considera
bly bruised. They were at once removed in
ambulances . to the hospital. The explosive
force was principally at the back of the ammu
nition box, that section being broken into
several fragments, while the lid on which the
men were escaped a lracture, it is doubtless
owing to these lacts that they were not more
seriously injured, if not killed. The wheel
horses were severely scorched.
jEFrERSONCiTV,Oct.9. The surrender of the
Federal camp near Hermann, reported this
morning, proves not to having been so serious
an affair as at first stated. Colonel Matthews
simply abandoned his camp on tho approach
of tbe rebels, and retiied to Hermann without
loss of any kind. The three cannon mention
ed in a previous dispatch belonged to the reb
els. Colonel Harding now telegraphs from
Hermann that he has no apprehensions of an
attack that the Gasconade and Osago bridg
es are well guarded and secure against the
rebels. Union men from the. neighborhood
of Lexington deny that any session of the
Legislature was held there. Efforts are be
ing made here to organize companies of
Rangers o carry on guerilla warfare after tho
style of the rebels. Gen Sturgis and Lane
are understood to have received orders to
march from Kansas city and join Gen. Siegel
at Sedelia. Gen. Seigel sent out a detach
ment of three hundred men on Sunday last to
cut off a rebel supply train. Gen. Fremont
moved last night from Jefferson city. The
army is in the highest state of excitement and
enthusiasm, and in all its various anus is anx
ious to meet the foe. General Fremont is in
defatigable. He sees in person to every thing,
visits every regiment, and infuses his own
spirit into every one under his command.
Price is retreating southward as rapidly as he
can move.
St. Louis, Oct. 9. The Memphis pnpers
publish a proclamation from Ben. McCulloch
to the people of Arkansas, dated Sept. 25, ask
ing for three regiments immediately to serve
for one year. Dispatches from Fort Smith,
Ark., says Ben. McCulloch is in want of men,
bis present force being only 3,000 strong.
This would seem to prove that McCulloch is
still alive. The officers of the Fremont Liffht
Guard deny the recuiting officers of that regi
ment closed the rendezvous on the announce
ment of the removal of General Fremont, and
state that enrolments are going on rapidly.
Chicago, Oct. 9. The Cairo correspondent
of the I'ribune says advices from Paducah rep
resent that the troops tnere are preparing 'for
tbe reception of tbe rebels, who, in heavy
force, are said to be advancing against tbat
place. The women and children have been
sent away, and everything indicates an ap
proaching struggle. General McClernand w ill
issue to-morrow a proclamation closing & the
drinking and gambling houses in Cairo.
Washington, Oct. 10. About six o'clock
yesterday morning the division under com
mand of General Wm. F. Smith, at Chain
Bridge, advanced, and occupied prominent
positions in the neighborhood of Lewinsville.
On the advance arriving at Langley's, which
has hitherto been the outposts of our army,
the division was divided, a portion of them
continuing up the Little Rock run turnpike,
and occupying Prospect Hill, the other part
of the division taking tbe new artillery road,
and occupying Smoot's and Maxwell's Hills,
a mile and a half this side of Lewinsville.
The batteries were drawn up on prominent
positions and tbe infantry placed in situations
to suppoit them. After remaining about three
hours waiting in vain for the rebels to make
an attack in fact inviting them to it our
skirmishers advanced and occupied Lewins
ville, tbe rebel foioes retiring. Lewinsville
will oe retained as well as the other positons
taken by our forces to-day. A portion ot the
troops under Brigadier General Porter also
advanced and occupied Miner's Hill, to tho
right of Fall's Church, and commanding that
village and Barrett's Hill which latter is now
in the possession of tbe rebel pickets. Gen
eral McC lelbin and his staff, accompanied by
Capt. Barker's McClellan dragoons, cross
ed over Chain Bridge early this morning,
spending the whole day in making reconnois
sance of the new positions taken by the Fed
eral forces. Yesterday afternoon Captain
Barny, of the Twenty-fourth New York Regi
ment, advanced three miles beyond Falls
church, on the Leesburg turnpike, with ten
men, where he surprised a picket guard of
Col. Stewart's. Three of them were killed,
and one taken prisoner. They also captured
live horses, equipped, thirteen navy pistols,
four sabers, one carbine, and one telescope.
The horse killed was a white one, which has
been often seen by our pickets and it is be
lieved to have belonged to Captain Powell,
of Stewart's Cavalry. The cap'ure took place
near the rebel encampment. So sudden
was the descent ot Captain Barney upon the
rebels, and so much were they frightened,
that they had not time to draw their pistols.
Only two horses out of tlie eight escaped.
Cincinnati, Oct. 10. The Commercial's
Kanawha advices state that General Rose
crans is at Mountain Cave, a strong position
twenty-five miles beyond the Gauley. He
had advanced ten miles further to Little Sew
ell, but the enemy being too well entrenched
and two strong at Big Sewell, five miles fur
ther on, to be attacked, Gen. Rosecrans f ell
back as an invitation to the rebels to come out
and have a fair fight.. There was no expecta
tion of an attempt by the enemy to force his
position. The weather in the Ganley region
was terrible. Rain was falling almost inces
santly. Gen. Rosecran's troops were woll
clothed, having now plenty of overcoats anil
blankets. The late fight at Chapmanvillo wasN
a sharp and bloody affair. Five of Capt. Craft's
Zouaves were killed. Tberebels are reported
to have lost thirty-five kfVJed. A dispatch
from Gen. Reynolds to GovV Morton dated
Huttonville, Oct. 8th, says: VTbo enemy in
our front, on the IluntersvilleNroad, has been
driven to Green Brier Springs,twenty miles
beyond Big Springs, their late '' rendezvous.
They are about fifty miles from Elkwater, and
one hundred and .twenty from Cheat Moun
tain. The roads towards Huntersville are im
passable for wheels.. The rebels destroyed
hundreds of muskets, tents, camp equipage,
&c. Several wagons abandoned by tbe rebels
fell into our bands." ".
Elkwater, Va., Oct. 10. Gen. Rynolds
has made two reconnotssances in force within
the last few days against the rebels, under
Gen. Lee, and has driven them from Big
Springs, the former rendezvous ot his main
force. . Part of his force is now posted at Elk
Mountain and Greenbrier Bridge, respectively
80 and 40 miles from here, and part of it under
Gen. Lee, who is said to have joined Gen.
Floyd at Big Springs previous to the recon
uoissance. The rebels destroyed their camp
equipage, amunition, and several hundred
muskets. Tbe rebels left several wagons, &c,
the road being absolutely impassable for ve
hicles beyond a point twelve miles from Elk
water. Cincinnati, Oct. 11. The Commercial's
Flwmingsburg, Ky., correspondent says a mes
senger trom ilillsboro has arrived stating
that a company of rebels, three hundred
strong, under command of Capt. Holiday, of
Naples county, were advancing on Ilillsboro
for the purpose of burning tbo.placejand attack
ing Flemingsburg. Lieut. Sadler and Ser
geant Dubley were dispatched with 50 home
guards to intercept them. The enemy was
lound two miles beyond Ilillsboro encamped
in a barn. Our men opened fire on them
causing them to fly in all directions. The
engagement lasted about twenty minutes, in
which the enemy lost 11 killed, 29 wounded
and 22 prisoners. We captured 127 Enfield
rifles and a large number of sabres, pistols,
bowie knives and cavalry accoutrements.
Our loss was 3 killed and 2 wounded.
Cairo, Oct. 11. The pickets (six in num
ber) of the Fourth Cavalry regiment, stationed
four or five miles from Paducah, were attacked
by a large body of rebels this morning. Two
of them were mortally wounded, and two ta
ken prisoners with all their horses and equip
page. Tbe enemy had divided their forces,
and in the excitement fired on each other, and
then fled, each party taking tbe other lor our
cavalry. A deserter from the rebel camp at
Columbus, Ky., who arrived here to-day, re
ports that their forces at that point number
30.000.
Fortress Monroe, Oct. 11. Commodore
Goldsborough arrived here frow Washington
this morning. There was an alarm in tho
Roads last night, which was the darkest and
stormiest of the season. Two rebel steamers
came down doubtless with the intention of
attempting to run the blockade, thy withdrew
as soon as it was found that the squadron and
batteries were not to be caught napping.
