t . ':'J. ' THE LATE ELECTION.
Soma of our Democratic friends boastingly
SBert that the Democratic party is trinmphant
in tha State. In some districts it appears to
be ao, but it cannot bo so claimed throughout
the State. There were no State officers to be
roted for tbo elections were all local, confin
ed to cotmties or districts. There was a dis
position in many places to drop distinctions of
party, under the idea that this was the duty of
all patriotic men in the present situation of
the country. This view was more generally
entertained by the Republicans than by their
opponents. Thus, in the Republican county
of Huntingdon they assisted to elect to the
legislature John Scott, a leading' Democrat,
but one who is disposed to do his duty to his
country. In the Republican county of Lan
caster, a portion of the Republicans united
with the Democrats to form a Union ticket,
whilst the rest chose to retain their party or
ganixatlon and run a straight Republican tick
t. So it was in Dauphin. And so too, it
was in other parts of the State. The Brack
Inridgo Democracy generally seemed intent
upon making political capital, and where tbey
had control of their party, resorted to every
cbeme to accomplish that purpose, whilst the
Republicans were, through patriotic motives,
disposed to treat their opponents with great
generosity.
The result was, that in some places Repub
licans were elected, in others Democrats, and
in others again the Union ticket was success
ful neither class having a majority in the Le
gislature. Some Breckinridge Democrats,
who opposed all Union tickets now wish to
claim all Democratic candidates elected on the
Union ticket, as a Democratic triumph. But
those who do this, are of that ultra Breckin
ridge stamp who would sink the country to
make a little party capital.
Exolabd and the Blockadk. From Wash
Itigton we learn that the State Department has
ascertained, that the advices received by the
mails of the Arabia are more than usual sat
but there is great activity in schemes for vio
latins the blockade and introducing contra
brand goods. This fact may relieve some of
the fears entertained by some persons in this I
country, as to the position of England in re
gard to the blockade of tbo Southern ports.
It Is also stated that Lord Lyons has address- j
d a brief circular to Her Majosty's Consuls in
the Southern States enclosing the following
as embodied in the official note of the Secre
tary of State, namely . The law of blockade
which does not permit a vessel in a blockaded
port to take on board a cargo after the com
mencement of the blockade, will be expected
to be strictly observed by all vessels blockaded
by tha naval forces of the United States. Ly
ons instruct those Consuls to take this law
for their; guidance.
Thk Rebels. Tfie approaching winter must
tell crushingly upon the rebels. Cut off from
all communication with the world ; the neces
saries of life trebled in value ; denied the lux
orles to which they have all their lives been
accustomed ; without money, without credit,
without skill to turn their feeble resources to
account; what a dreary look-out fur the fu
ture! And then their army without tents;
without blankets ; without leather for shoes;
without coffee or grog ; without even salt to
season their rations ! Their seaboard mena
ced : large fleets keeping watch and ward at
their harbor entrances and the mouths of their
rivers ; formidable expeditions swooping down
upon their coasts, investing their fortresses
and cantnrinir their commercial towns. This
is a gloomy picture and all the result of Seces
sion. The masses- are to be pitied, but it is
nothing more than the leaders deserve.
Jobs Ross. A letter is published, purport
ing to ba written by John Ross.principal chief
of the Cherokee Indians, in which it is stated
that about four thousand Cherokees had, with
marked unanimity declared their adherence to
the Confederate States, and have giveq their
authorities power to negotiate an alliance with
them ; and that they are raising a regiment of
mounted men to meet any emergency that may
rise out of their espousal of the Confederate
cause. This does not agree with the previous
report that Ross would stand by the Union.
Time alone will show which is correct.

THE MILITARY VOTE OF PENNSYLVANIA.
Facts and figures are difficult to overcome,
says the Harrisburg Telegraphy and are the
only irresistible arguments with which a
cause can be substantially established. In
reference to the late election in the various
camps distant from and within Pennsylvania,
containing soldiers who were legally entitled
to vote at the late election, these facts and fig
ures establish two very important claims,
which we desire to record in our columns,
not as a reproach to those who should be put
to the blush by ilieir abductions, but as a vin
dication of the truth, and those great princi
ples of Republicanism on the success of which
now depends the authority of the federal .'law
and the security of the federal Union. The
vote of the soldiers in camp at the late elec
tion, was almost unanimously of a Republican
or union cnaracier. inis is more cieany
demonstrated by the ; result in the various
counties of the State, showing that in those
counties which were Republican a year ago,
our vote was reduced, whilo the Democratic
vote in the same counties and also in those
decided Democratic last fall, was up to its
full force. In Berks county the Democratic
vote was almost as large as that of last year,
and yet Berks county furnished a great num
der of men to the various Pennsylvania regi
ments. In York county, the same results
prove the same facts and in other counties
heretofore Democratic, we find that the-vote
of that party was equally as large as that poll
ed at any of the elections for local State offi
cers. These figures present a strange contrast
to the claim that the Democratic party has
furnished the largest number of men for the
war and that contrast is still further strength
ened when the fact is quoted that the military
vote was almost unanimously cast for the Re
publican or Union party. But the subject
presents another aspect, equally rebutting the
argument that the Democracy are doing the
fighting, when we contemplate the result in
the strong Republican counties. In Centre
county, that has furnished almost twelve hun
dred men 'for the war, the Democracy elected
their ticket by polling the same vote they
polled last year, and yet at the Presidential e
lection Centre gave eight hundred Republican
majority. In Lancaster county the same
causes produced the same results. In Leb
anon the Republicans suffered defeat by the
same lack ot home strength, and in every Re
publican county in the State our vote was re
duced far below its Presidential standard, and
much below, also, the vote polled at 'our usual
fall elections. The volunteers from such
counties, have found their way into regiments
belonging to other States, by which they e
stablished their own disfranchisement. And
thus it is with many of the great Republican
counties. The Republican vote in the camps
proved the unanimous numbers of the Repub
licans under arms, while the falling off of the
vote at home, and the aggregate exactness of
the Democratic vote at the late and the elec
tion for President, proves, too, that those who
boast of the valor of the Deriticracy were cal-
culating without their hosts.
All things Considered,. Pennsylvania is as
strongly Republican to-day as she was when
she cast her electoral vote for Abraham Lin
coln. The men who were elected on Union
principles, bad confidence reposed in them,
not because they were Democrats, but as U
nion men they were only successful, and be
cause they were expected to adhere to the pol
icy which has so invigorated the federal ad
ministration in its struggle to crush rebellion
and the result of another election will
prove, when the issues are more fairly present
ed than they were at the last, that the people
of Pennsylvania are sound on every principle
involved in the Republican platform.
Stand raou Under. The Government of
the United States is now going to work in good
earnest to crush out this rascally rebellion of
ours. In the space of three days, under the
direction of Gen. McClellan, that fine officer
Brig. Gen. Egbert L. Viele, a graduate ot
West Point, and formerly Colonel of the New
York Seventh regiment father of all its glory
has concentrated at Annapolis, Md., a force
of 40,000 men, comprising some of the best
troops in the service, and he has organized
them into a well appointed and efficient corps
d'armee, ready for transportation at an hour's
notice. Simultaneous with this wonderful
movement, the Secretary of the navy his or
ganized a fleet of twenty-three vessels of war,
and fifteen large transports, most of which
have already sailed from New York harbor,
bound for Annapolis. Besides this, the clip
per ship Great Republic has cleared at New
York with 1600 fine horses on board, nnder
sealed orders, and the large steamship Daniel
Webster has been fitted up with water tanks
alone, and sails to-day with enough water to
wash away an ordinary Southern city. In a
few days the most gigantic military expedition
that na8 CTer been prepared on this continent
will sail, under command of flag-officer Strib-
ling and General Viele. It will leave Annapo
lis for an important Southern harbor. Of
course no one knows or cares to know its pre
cise destination, out we shall undoubtedly
bear from it when it gets there I
Smallest Soldier in the Aemt. Eddy

if not the bravest soldier in the service of the
United States of the Indiana troops. When
he enlisted he was but eight years of age, but
he exhibited sncb a spirit of patriotism, and
so strong a desire to serve his country, that
be over persuaded his parents to let him go.

Darnestown, Oct. 14. Ono of the soldiers
of the New York 34th, captured with others
two weeks ago while on a scout opposite Col.
Le Dew's encampment, returned yesterday.
He was taken to Fairfax Court House from
whence he escaped. He reports that there are
no large bodies of rebel troops between Great
Falls and Leesburg. Two of the six or eight
rebel regiments which paid , our troops their
respects at Great Falls three weeks ago have
mutined and left the rest. It is stated that
the remainder of the force are scattered be
tween Winchester, Martinsburg, Sheppards
town and Hancock. There is a full regi
ment at the latter place, which from the fact
of it being the only post where salt could be
obtained it was thought of sufficient import
ance to protect it by a superior force. This
accounts for the sudden disappearance from
this quarter of the rebel array.
Washington, Oct. 15. It has been ascer
tained that the rebels have withdrawn part of
the force they had at Acquis Creek, and placed
it in new batteries, which yesterday fired on
some of our steamers. They have mounted
thirty-two pound guns in the batteries, which
occupy commanding points on the river.
During last night tbey fired on and sunk a
small pungy. The steamer Mount Vernon
reached the shipping point just before day
break this morning, and unmolested prssed
the rebel battery, but the Pawnee following in
a short time thereafter was fired on, between
twenty and thirty shots being thrown toward
her. The Pawnee according to orders made
no response. By an arrival this afternoon
from the lower Potomac, it is ascertained that
both vessels had safely passed beyond all
roach of danger from the rebel batteries. The
Indian agent for New Mexico, Mr. Steck, has
just arrived here, direct from that Territory.
Previous to his departure, all of the principal
men of the Navojoe Indians came to Santa
Fe and made a treaty of peace with tne Gov
ernment, with the exception of those of Ari
zona, where a small force of Texans have
possession through the treachery of. Col. Lor
ing. All in quiet in the Territory. The Fed
eral force therein, under Col. Canby, who com
mmds that military department, is from
twelve to fifteen hundred, while the citizens
have raised three full regiments. Mr. Steck
represents the people as loyal to a man. The
object of the rebels is represented as being to
seize the Government stores rather than to en
deavor to conquer the conntrv. There was
no disturbance on the plains, and when the
stock was passing over them, the Indians were
in the best possible humor, from the fact of re
ceivinz their presents and annuities. War
against liquor and liquor dealers is being suc
cessfully carried on. Thousands of dollars
worth have been destroyed and confiscated al
ready. .
Washington, Oct. 1G. The United States
steamer Louisiana, which has been ofl Chinco-
teague Island has captured a dozen schooners,
which had no clearance papers. On the Oth
inst., two launches, sent to capture a rebel
vessel in shore, were fired upon by a large
force oi reOels, ana one ot our men was
wounded. The fire was returned, ajad one or
more rebels killed. . The shot from the rebel
guns burned up the schooner. Lieut. Murray,
in bis report, dated the 5th Oct. says : This
morning at 9 o'clock we had a sharp conflict
with the enemy, who, 3000 strong, attempted
to cut off two boats from this vessel and 23
men, all told, which I had dispatched to take
or destroy a fine schooner I had reason to be
lieve was being converted into a privateer
Fortunately I bad gone in with the steamer at
the same time, it being high tide, and was en
abled to cover the return of the party. The
boats passing through a terrible fire, finally
reached the schooner, but finding her aground
made a breastwork of her and opened a dead
ly fire, winch, with the assistance of a few
shots from our long-range gun, drovo the ene
my back to a distant cover with loss, and the
boats, after firing the schooner, returned with
out further molestation. Acting-Master Fur
nuss estimates the loss of the rebels to be at
least eight killed and wounded, as he saw
that number carried off. Our loss was one se
riously wounded, Acting Master Hooker, and
three very slightly. I have much praise to
bestow on those engaged in the boast fur
their coolness and intrepidity when assailed
by such overwhelming odds. They were yet
some three hundred vards from the schooner
when ficd upon, but they preferred pushing
on and returning through it, rather than fail
in accomplishing their object. During the
reconnoisance, last night, two ot their dispatch
sloops were captured.
Pontoso Mo., Oct. 10. We have the follow
ing account of the attack on the Big River
Bridge yesterday morning. The enemy was
discovered approaching the buildings, about
seven o clock yesterday morning, by a Ger
man sentry, who gave the alarm. Our troops
numbering aoout lorty and nlty men, instantly
prepared lor action, and although the force
against them numbered somewhere near six
hundred, under the lead of Jell Thompson
himself, tbey stood their ground, and from
stone piles and other places of shelter, did
good execution. They were finally surrouud
en, however, and compelled to surrender.
Their loss was one killed and six wounded,
while the rebel loss was five killed and four
wounded. Immediately after the surrender,
the i ederal prisoners were sworn by Jeff.
Thompson not to bear arms against the South
ern Confederacy, ihe rebels then burnt the
bridge,and speedily retired. Jeff. Thompson
says that he has 5000 mounted men in the vi
cinity, and that he intends to burn the other
bridges on this road, and that Pilot Knob and
Ironton would soon be attacked and captured.
ine troops along tne road have been ordered
to Ironton by Col. Carlin, commanding that
post, in anticipation ot an attack.
xiolla, Aio., Ki. IB. Thirty-one more of
the wounded Federal soldiers arrived here
irocu oprmguem yesteraay. Ttiese men re
port that a sharp skirmish took place on Mon
day, twenty miles this side of Lebanon, be
tween two companies of mounted men belong
ing to Major Wright's batallion, attached to
Gen. Mann's command, , and some 130 rebel
cavalry. Major Wright surprised th.e rehels
by aq attack in the rear and completely rout
ed them., killing ahavit 30 and taking the same
number of prisoners. Major Wright's loss
was one severely wounded.- Very little firing
waadone by the rebels.' "The report that Col.
Taylor's regiment of rebels, which has been
stationed at Springfield since the battle of
Wilson's creek, has marched North is confirm
ed'." They .; have probably gone to join Gen.
Price on the Osage. .. ..
. Baltimore, Oct. 1?. Information has been
received here of a daring and gallant exploit
of Col. Geary, at Harper's Ferry'. ' He made
a reconnoisance in force, with four hundred
and fifty picked men, and three pieces of artil
lery, upon the rebel entrenchments at Boliver
bill. He was attacked by three thousand reb
els, including five hundred cavalry. Early
yesterday morning, the rebels showed them
selves on Boliver heights', at Harper's Ferry,
ana commenced an attack with artillery upon
three companies under Haj. J. P.' Gould, sta
tioned on the north side of the Potomac. A
constant fire was kept np for some hours, when
three companies of the Sd Wisconsin regiment
crossed, formed iuto line and drove the enemy
back, and succeeded in capturing one of their
heavy guns. -They were, however, compelled
to retreat, but in good order, to the river,
where they were reinforced by three other
companies. They then, with Col. Geary at
the head, marched upon the enemy, and arter
bard fighting drove them from their position
and recaptured the gun, a32-pounder Colum-
biad. Our forces had but three pieces oi ar
tillery, and these were fired from this side of
the river until the enemy retreated. The en-
emv naa seven pieces, nve nunarea cavairy,
together with infantry. The enemy was com
pletely; routed and driven back some three
miles. Our loss in killed and wounded is not
over seven. That of the enemy is at least one
hundred and fifty. Col. Ashby was at the head
of the enemv, and is among the killed.
Washington, Oct. 17. The steamer Mount
Vernon, Capt. Mitchell, came up the river last
night. Some twenty shots were fired at her
from the batteries at Shipping Point, but none
struck ber. Capt. Mitchell reports that SO or
40 vessels are lying, at Smith's Point, afraid
to pass the enemies batteries. When the Paw
nee and Mt. Vernon went down the Mt. Ver
non proceeded the Pawnee and the 400 ma
rines on board were ordered to lie down on
deck two deep in passing the enemy's batter
ies, which was done and thus escaped observa
tion from shore. Thirteen shots were fired at
the Pawcec, six of which struck her and one
passed near ber magazine. Of the 36 rebel
prisoners released according to the recent
special order, only three took the oath of alle
giance. The others took the oath not to bear
arms against the United States. Col. Geary's
dashing fight causes much rejoicing here.
Syracuse, Mo., Oct. 17. A messenger from
Gen. Fremont's head-qurters at Warsaw reach
ed here to-day, with dispatches from Gen.
McKinstry. It was said Price had made a
Ftand in Cedar county, twenty-five miles from
Osceola, with twenty thousand well armed
and disciplined troops, and a large force of
irregular militia. On the arrival of Fremont
at Warsaw, the opposite bank of the Osage
river was filled with rebel horsemen, who were
dispersed by a few rounds of canister. Fre
mont had began preparations to lay a pontoon
bridge across the Osage river when the ines
songer left, and it was supposed his army
would be over the river on Wednsday night.
He was determined to push on with the ut
most vigor and would probably soon come up
with the enemy and force him to fight or re
treat. Loiisville,' Oct. 17. The rebel General,
Hawthorn, of the Mississippi Brigade, now at
Hopkinsville, has transferred the post office at
that place to the charge of a rebel postmaster,
and through him the towns of Southern Ken
tucky are regularly supplied with the South
ern mails, under the authority of the rebel
Postmaster General. It is reported that Gen.
Hardee is in command at Bowling Greer, with
ten thousand troops, including two thousand
Texans, whom, from their wild appearance,
the people there take to be Indians. There
is quite an accumulation of Southern bound
travelers at our hotels, who find it impossible
to get through our lines.
Baltimore, Oct. 18. A gentleman who
spent the whole of yesterday at Harper's Fer
ry says that the accounts published of the
tight there on Wednesday are in main correct.
The cannon captued is a fine new st-ige gun,
well mounted and in good order, with the ex
ception of a fracture of one axle during the
fight. It was stationed yesterday near the a
butment ot tho bridge. When it was about
buing retaken by the the rebels, a ten penny
nail was driven into the vent, which has al
ready been drawn out. Tha Rhode Island
battery did not participate in the fight, as was
at first stated. They were stationed on Mary
land heights, and found it impossible to dis
criminate in the distance between friend and
foe. The fight continued from 8 in the morn
ing till 2 o'clock iu the afternoon, and was a
regular skirmish with varying results. The
rebels when hotly pressed retreated into the
woods, and at other times they drove the fed
eral troops back into Bolivar the main fight
being bevond that town, on the road to
Charleston. At 5 o'clock Col. Geary arrived
with three pieces of cannon, which soon si
lenced the enemy's guns putting their entire
force to flight. The chaplain who was taken
prisoner says that before he was captured 87
were killed and wounded, and had been carried
from the field. There was nothing positively
known as to Col. Ashley having been killed,
and it was not generally credited. The Fed
eral troops remained on the field all Wednes
day night and yesterday morning, having
brought across the river the remainder of 10,
000 bushels of wheat captured from the rebel's
military depot, which they were about to
transport to Leesburg. An order was given
for the whole force to retire to the Maryland
side. Great distress prevailed among the few
remaining residents of Bolivar information
having reached them that it was the intention
of the enemy to destroy Bolivar and Harper's
Ferry on Thursday night by fire, and they
were all packing up preparatory to a flight into
Maryland. No information has been received
from there this morning as to whether the
threat was carried out. The river is still too
high to ford and troops were conveyed across
in scows. The prisoners captured admit that
their force was two thousand whilst the entire
Federal force was only four hundred and sixty.
The change that has taken place in Harper's
Ferry and the thriving village of Bolivar, is
represented as most sad and shocking. Ruin
was everywhere visible, and the inhabitants
were bowed down with sorrow and desolatian.
Washington, Oct. 18. Gen. McClellan,
accompanied by Generals Smith, McCall and
Hancock., and a strong escort of regular cavalry,
proceeded yesterday to Vienna, which is five
miles west of Lewinsville, and remained there
several hours. The reports about the rebel
army bring In full retreat for Manassas are
founded on conjecture ; at least nothing of it
is known io quarters most entitled to confi
dence. As stated in previous dispatches, a
large reconnoitering party proceeded as far as
Vienna, but returned before Gen. McClellan
bad quite reached the village. A hundred
men only on similar business proceeded to
Avondale, which is about an equal distance
from Springfield and Fairfax Court House.
Gen. Wadswortb went within a mile and a half
of Fairfax Court Uouse. with, a comparatively
small escort. From observations it was con
jectured the rebel force there-was --composed
of about two regiments' of infantry j and a
battallion of Cavalry ' The escort was fired
ou, but reached their camp without resorting
to any extraordinary measure. From a gentle
man who is presumed to possess the best op
portunities of judging, it is ascertained that
the enemy has been : alternately retiring and
advancing within a breadth of five or six miles
of bur lines.
St. LociS, Oct. 18. The following dispatch
has been received from an officer at Pilot Knob,
dated 10 o'cjqck last night,- Maj. Gavitt, of
the 1st Indiana cavalry, made an attack on the
enemy this morning. When discovering the
strength and position of the rebels, he fell
back upon Col. Alexander's force of 600 infan
try,. Qf the Ist Illinois regiment, and one
piece of artillery. The enemy followed, fight
ing all the way. Major Gavitt then got bis
gun in position, and concealing bis infantry,
caused a part of bis command.to retreat furth
er, thus drawing the enemy into ambuscade,
and forcing him to fall back with a heavy loss.
Baltimore, Oct. 18. A' gentleman direct
from the vicinity of Harper's Ferry .announces
that the rebels again appeared on Louden and
Bolivar Heights this morning, and renewed
the attack on the Union forces who are under
the command of Major Gould and supported
with artillery. Major Gould fired upon them
with cannister from the columbiad which was
rantured from the rebels on TUesdav. and
drove them back, but not until the vandals bad
burned the mill of Mr. A. G Herr. and took
the miller prisoner, who they charged with
giving information to the Union troops of the
12,000 bushels of wheat being brought there
to grind.
Cincinnati, Oct. 18. Yesterday Gen. Sher
man telegraphedan urgent demand for rein
forcements.and in the evening,when Secretary
Cameron and Adjutant General Thomas arrived
in this city from Louisville, dispatches were
immediately sent to Pittsburg, Indianapolis
and Chicago, ordering 8,000 troops to be for
warded to Gen. Sherman by special trains
These troops are doubtless now well on their
way, and apprehensions for the safety of Louis
ville may therefore be dismissed. Everything
indicates action in that direction, and import
ant news may be expected speedily from the
Central Kentuckr column.

THE LADY'S FRIEND GODEY'S LADYS
BOOK FOR 1862 The world s favorite. For 32
Years the Standard Magasine. Pronounced by
the Press of tb United Statos, tho best Lady's
Magazine in the World and the Cheapest.
The. literature is of that kind that can be read
aloud in tbe family circle, and the clergy in im
mense numbers are subscribers for the Book.
The best Lady Writers in America contribute to
its pages, and we have some that write for no other
Magazine.
The Music is all original, and would cost 23
cents (the price of the Book) in the music stores ;
but most of it is copyrighted, and cannot be ob
tained except in "Godey "
Our Steel Engravings. All efforts to rival us
in this have ceased, and we now etaud alone in
this department, giving, as we do, many more and
infinitely better engravings than are published iu
any other work.
(xodey's Immense T)onhle Sheet Fashion-Plata
Containing from fire to seven full length Colored
Fashions on each plate. Other magazines give
only two. .
Far Ahead oj" any Fashions in Europe or Ameri
ca. Godey's is the only work in the world that
gives these immense platc3, aud they are such as
to have excited the wonder of publishers and the
public. The publication of these plates cost $10.
000 more than Fashion-plates of the old style. and
nothing but our wonderfully large circulation
enables us to give tbem Other magazines cannot
afford it We never spare money when tha pub
lic oan be benefited. These fashions may be relied
on. . Dresses maybe made after them, and the
wearer will not subject herself to ridicule.as would
be the case if she visited the large cities dressed
after the style of the plates given in some of our
so called fashion magazines
. Our Wood Engravings, of which we give twice
or three times as many as any other magazine,
are often mistaken for steel. They are so far
superior to any others.
Imitations. Beware of them. " Remember that
the Lady's Book is tbe original publication and
the cheapest. If you take Godey. you want no
other magazine. Everything that is useful or
ornamental in a house can be found in Godey.
Drawing Lessons, No other magazine gives
them, and wo have given enough ta fill sertral
large volumes.
Our Receipts are such as oan be found nowhere
else. Cooking in all its variety Confectiftnery-r
the Nursery the Toilet the Laundry -the Kitch
en,. Receipts upon all subjects are to be found in
the pages of tbe Lady's Book. We:. originally
started this department, and hive peculiar facili
ties for making it most perfect. This department
lone is worth the price of the Book., i

ses engravings and descriptions of every, article
that a lady wears.
