Tag Gazelle presumes " that the Erie Observer, Warren Ledger, and Crawford j.kniocrat will be occupied for some time in assigning reasons for the 'unfortunate result" of the recent yelections. So far as the readers of the Observer are concern ed, they need have no reasons assigned to them for the result. Every one of them has intelligence enough to see the cause for himself, and knows just as well as we could tell Win that it was owing to the immense patronage of the Administra tion, to the extraordinary system of false hoed and intimidation which has been adopted as the chief engine of the Re publican party, to the enormous amounts of money which they are able to expend, and last; but not least, to t the unfair pro cess of importing Republican soldiers in• to every State to vote, and leaving the Democratic\ones in the, Army to . fight the nation's battles. With the tremendous influences that the' Oppositiop are aow able to wieldin elections, and which they do employ with a want of scruple never before exhibited, it would have been the greatest wonder of modern times if they had not been successful. To our mind, the sublimest instance of patriotism that has been presented in any age, is that of the million of independent voters, who within the last month, unwed and partisan inwlence.unixsight by gold. and uninfluenced by threats, had the courage to walk up to the polls, and de posit their , ballots for the sacred princi ples of Constitutional Liberty, and against the intolerant fanaticism of the day. , We suggest to the Gazette that the less gratification it expresses over the late , elections, the hotter it will be for its self respect and future reputation, The day will comp, when, as in the instance of its conduct towards the glorious Jackson, it will be ashaMed to own that it had any part in the monstrous scheme of wicked ness by which the honest sentiments of the people have been betrayed, and a pre • =him pit upon corruption, imbecility and violated pledges. The New. from Virginia. After many months of waiting, the Ar my of the Potomac has made its much talked of "forward movement," and at our last advice& had reached the banks of the Rapidan, the rebels rapidly retreating before it. Lee's Army now-lien ritaiity oa the opposite side of that stream, where it will probably make a determined resist ance. A few rebel guerrillas still remain between the Rs pahannock and the Rap iden, where they continue to annoy our troops with their usual audacity. The ad ; Vance Vance of Meade has been several tines. desperately resisted by small forces of this enemy, who have in each cue been se verely beaten. A very gallantly con tested fight occurred on Saturday, at Rap pahannock Station, when our troops un der Oen, Russell stormed a strong pad non, driving the rebels from it, and cap turing four guns, 2000 small arms, eight battle flags, one bridge train and 1600 prisoners. Another severe skirmish took place at Kelly's. Ford, in which our lead ing column commanded by Col. Trobri, and, acted with great gallantry, seizing the rebel works and taking over 400 pris oners: Our loos is inconsiderable, compar ed with that of the enemy, and the whore movement thus far has been extremely siocessful. On Friday, Gen. Buford passed through Culpepper, andreconnoitered the rebel position on the Rapidan. From re quisitions and invoices picked up in the late rebel camps, says the telegraphic dis patch, It appears that there was no scarci ty of the necessaries of life in Lee's Army. Sugar was 124 c per pound, flour 10, beef 100 and bacon $l. Clothing was abund ant, but prices high. Rations were (*M inuted at3sc per day. Salt was.regularly issued to \ horses and mules. The report that Lee was absent' from Virginia, and with Bragg it Chattanooga i i definitely u certained to be incorrect. 1 Meade has several times offered to give Lee battle, but the wily rebel has not yet seen fit to accept the challenge. If we understand the position, the !stain armies are now en camped on both :sides of the Rapidan looking one another sullenly in the face, and each determined that the other shall not cross the stream without a bloody contest. We endorse the *sentiniente of an ex change, that "it is useless to conceal the advantaipla which rest with the rebels in this movement. Every mile of the raid to Richmond can be used by a retreating armyss if it were sipart of a system of for tifications, and unless it be true that Lee's army is reduced to & shadow of Its former strength, we can scarcely dare hope for success on a path which has been so long one of failure. ' The strategy of the rebels is now evidently just what it has been all along. Lee draws /feeds toward Rich mond, every day's march taking the latter away from his base, andstrengthaning the retreating farce in the lame ratio that the advancing force is weakened." Great as the danger is, our confidence in General Meade; whose modest demeanor has en deared him to the whole nation, Is sofirm, that we have little anticipatiOn oration* ty. If he is now allowed to command his own army, without the penal inteetwerwe from Washington, we balms that hii forts will be crowned with victorynd in all his movements he will be followed by the prayeri And good wishes of every patriot In the country.

One signal instance of the mode in which 'rrtiml arrested smugglers we will present as an ilbastration of his whole proceedurei The' "Annals of the Army of the Cumber/and." written by a member of the polio., has given a partial and high ly-colored version of the story, which we shall give as reported by Stevens himself, the policeman who was the chief actor in the disgraceful affair. Stevens came to Nashville as a deserter from the rebel army, and was• soon em ployed by Truesdell as a detective to dog the steps of those whom he wished to vie. timise and plunder. Sometimes his vic tims Were. officers in the Federal army, sometimes crippled soldiers, who were trying to earn a few dollars honestly by selling newspapers. In the present in stance the victim- was a Hrs. Yeargin, whom, husband. at the time we write of, was a sick Confederate prisoner lying in the hospital at ifurfreesboni. Truesdell be&uxte acquainted with these facts, and immediately seize I the opportunity to display his astonishing sagacity and ex pertness in arresting contrail:tad traders. He immediately sent this Stevens to Mrs. Yeargin, who felt all a wife's naturel anx iety to hear some tidings of her sick hu- band. The detective entered her house es a friend; told her he hid served in the same army with her husband, and if she wished to visit hint in his affliction, where her attention and ministrations would he accAltahle, be would get'her a pass - to .go to Murfreesboro. 'Mrs. Yeargin told the detective, to whom she felt very grate ful, that she did not wish to violate any military order,, tearing a request. fora pass would be improper. The detective told her there would be no difficulty: that he would get hr a pass: and that she haul better carry along some clothes for her husband, as he was no doubt destitute.-- Mrs. Yeargin was ',amid that 'this might subject her to arrest. Stevens said not at all, he could easily arrange all that. He then said he would like to sell her a coat, which he had worn in the rebel service.-- She purchased it, as it was offered low. -- He then told her she had a family to sup port by her own exertions, and that-as she would be in the South, she had better take with her some medicine to sell. She objected to this, but Stevens urged that, it was right, and there would be no risk • in it. at all, and aim, he would make it all right. Re finally prevailed on her to take' the drugs, which he bought - hintselt, He next bought her a carriage and pair of mules, but she preferring a team, which he ha d able, own, he swapped with her, exacting. a large amount to boot. Finally she started, takirig a co4t, gloves a nd un der-clothes for her htisbithtA t end the med icines which • TruwalaiFsman had purchas ed for her..' ' . - Stevens accompanied her to the pickets on the outskirts of the city, where, ac- ; cording to previous arrangements; they were both arrested. Truesdell then took , from her three hundred dollars in south ern money, six hundred dAlars in gold, , her mules, carriages, clothing, and, after stripping her of every thing she had, sent. her beyond the picket lines and gave or ders that she should not be suffered to re turn to the city. This consummate piece of meanness and rascality reached the ears of Goy. Johnson, Truesdell became alarmed, let her come back, refunded the three hundred dollars of southern money which he robbed her of, but kept the six hundred dollars in gold ! Re wanted the gold to buy cotton with doubtless. Why did he refund a portion of. the money, it he had a right to take any of it *! and by what authority did he retain the gold Y-- Certainly a meaner and more dishonors-, ble piece of swindling, cowardice and ex tortion never was perpetrated by the vilest; tool of Jeff Davis. Nothing more unman-• ly can bti conceived of. A detective, un der the mask of friendship and sympathy, , goes to the house.of a Woolen, wholly un solicited, and urges her, by her affection for a sick husband lying in a distant hos pital, 'remote from his , friends, to violate the laws of military rule against her will. Nay, he even becomes her accessory and partner, as well as her counsellor. The miserable detective appeals to the noblest. feelings of a' wife's nature, affection for - her husband, to tempt her to violate Military order,that he may draw her into a snare, and enable the crafty •Tmesdail.' Inquisitor General or the Secret Police, to rob her of all her goods, and of every dollar she had, and turn her adrift among strangers, to "beg or starve. Aad this, we are told, is an acintirable method of stop ping illegal trafilc! The prayer which Christ taught his disciples was: "Our Fath er who art in Heaven, lead us not into temp snipe' but hers we see Trneedail and his tools, with devilishingenuity, first tempt ing. then plundering a woman. Mrs. Yeargin did wrong, but what being, who has the soul of a man, or even the spirit of a dog, would not ten thcousand times rather act the part she was tempted to perform. than stoop to the-degredation of Tmesdail f Just alxiut this time, while Truesdell was using• extraordinary vigilance to pre vent a woman from carrying medicineand clothing bought at his own urgent request, a lot of dry goods. to the value of ;nine thousand dollars was shipped from this place to Murfreeab oro to a firm of army traders closely counecte4 with Truesdail's office. The goal were sold freely to the rebels round Murfreesboro, and doubtless, found easy ancese'to the Southern Confederacy. The 'army, as well aseitisens, 'NM under Truesdell's espionage. "What do you think of Truesdeil's police?" we once ask ed of a Kentucky Major of high character. Hu respepse "When I catch one of his spies in my camp, I immediately put him in the guard house."
