political sinner of fair exterior, and will
bring niore legislative- experience to the

a popular majority against him of over 200
in his own county and less than the party

tion ; a man of mere than ordiffary ability ;
a bitter narrow Democratic partizan, and
one whose attainments have fallen far short
of his ambition. He has made various

The National Uniob partY can find much,
to delight and encourage it in contempla
ting the w0rk4 , ,,: The war for the life of the
Republic 'has been raging now two years
and a half, apparently with variable suc
cess. Victory seemed to' perch now upon
one banner thereupon , the other ; whilst all
the time the Union atmk4 were daily and
*ourly encroaching upon , the States in re
bellion and rescuing them out of the hands
of traitors. After two years and a half of
this sublime struggle '77-,because strnagle
for National life is p,erhp,ps_the., mostr,sub
lime speetacle the mind can - dtirit&iplate—
the people of. the North meet and -render
their opinion of the war, and of AbraliaPi .
Lincoln whom they have en trusted' with. its
prosecution. By a preponderance of twen
ty-three sovereign States to the single state
of New Jitisey,' they_ declare that they,.' are
in favor •of ii vigorous prosecution of the
war e and that theY.eaderse.and approve: the
rnesisuresedbpted by the Presilleilt aid his
Cabinet for the attainment of that end.
THE FALL Wong.

that L ' •

termined to have it; that- there, is but one
way to secure this blessing—tn conquer it.
To
-that end if it weakens the traitors in
arms'to deprive them of their negroes a the
people say to the president, " Take them
,from them." the negroes eon and are
willing to - fight in the llnion armies and
it does seem to us they have a mighty in
terest in it—the people say to the Presideq,
'"Artn.theni and put them in die ranks."
The verdict of the people means that the
Republic must live its long as anYthitidles4
than the Republic remains to be - sactifided
for it. The Rebellion-must be grolind to
poWdei; and if slavery aids 'rebellion then
slavery must be crushed, that the-govern
ment of our fathers may-live: -
But this is by no means all. ty these
elections throughout the Northern StateS
the people have. rebuked the traitors and
copperheads iti our midst and , given them
a wainingthey will not dare to slight:: 17.1*
have strengthened the hands of the Presi
dent ',and his Cabinet in theirarduous Nabors,
and have inspired their hearts with encour
agement and hope. They have cheered the
brave soldiers on the frontier by their deter.
minatidit to assist them to fight the battles
of freedom at home as well as in the field.
They have declared to. England ard:Fiance;
by these elections that the North is by no
means discouraged at the.chilling antipathy
displayed by these 'powers . towards this
struggle; but on the contrary; the people
of the loyal States are encouraged to perse
vereito the end, firm in the belief that the
cause of civil liberty must.iriumph. -
The future historian of, this war will be.
obliged to record strange facts. For exteu.-
ple, it will be written that, the traitors~ of
the South and the Copperheads of the
North both strove to acconiPliilitheimicesS
of the , Copperhead tickit.,', ',The; former
however did it with the avowed intention
that, they:would thereby accomplish - their
triumph ; the latter declared that its' FM*
cess could alone save the country: Does it
require much. discrimination to ; determine
which were sincere hi their declarations?
•By the triumph of the Union ticket both
have come to grief; 'and the distress of the
traitors in arms is no less gennithe.than that
of those who enjoy and abuse the privileges
of the loyal:free-States.
The success of the Union ticket, though
not Unexpected, is no trifle to them in this
time of want ,and poverty. Fondly and
lavishly bad they feasted their imaginations
on the store °uses' and barns of Pennsyl
vania, and tenderly had-they sighed for her
flesh puts, when they remembered that it
was a goodly land. and abounded in much
corn and meat. But Pennsylvania and
every otherloyal State is henceforth forever
closed against them. The people have so
decreed it. The beginning of the end has
already come. Let them and their coadju
tors of the North take warning before it is
forever too late and flee from tbe,wrath to
come. •
Does the Spirit still find consblation in
the prospect ?

;high degree of courtesy, promptness and

the many delicate questions presented for
his decision, few errori of 'judgment 'have

sued by our victorious forces_that they threw
themselves into the , river in theii , efforta, to
escape, and many were either drowned ox
killed by our infantry. AU the artillery , of
the rebels on this side was captured.
It is.reported that 'seven guns,- and, there
is rio doubt, their entire camp equipage, fell
into our' hands, as they were compelled to
leave the latter in tkeir hasty retreat. Bu
ford's cavalry crossed at Sulphur Spriii7s, to
cover the right flank, several miles above
Rappahannock Station, and Gregg and Kil
patrick crossed below Kelly's Ford; to cover
the left flank.
The enemy, after crossing the--Rappahan
nock under cover of the night4Jnoved in the
1 direction of Culpepper; and the advance` of
our forces, supposed to - consist. -Orcavalry,
was reported to be at Brandyl Statioa early
to day.
This morning. our whole line- again ad
vanced; and Gen. Meade no donAt passed rap 7
idly forward after the retreating foe.
The prisoners are composed pricipally of
North Carolina and 'Louismnii troops. •
This afternoon, at three eeloCk, the train
commenced, bringing them to
.Alexandria.
The number liken by "Gen. Sedgwielt, was
from 1200t0'1300, The remainder were cap
tured by Gen, French's Corps A gentleman
who was present - with the army', says it was
a novel sight to see all of Sedgwick's prison- •
ers in a crowd. They comprised the largest
lot ever captured by our forces on the Virgin,
is side of the Potomac, and were guarded IT
cavalry to prevent their.straggliag or escape.
Gen. French's prisoners : were also gathered
in one body, and were similarly guarded..
Our total loss is reported to be 400 in' kill
td and wounded, but no prisoner's. •
