THE ELECTION
We give below all the reliable returns of
our county we can collect up to the time of
our going to press. Our county ticket is
'beaten by an average majority of about 600
This result can only be accounted for by the
fact that of the volunteers who have hilt their
bonzes for the defence of our country, a very
large majority were of that faith which has
always-opposed the Democratic party. The
untiring exertions of the wire-workers of that
party to prevent. their young men 'from en•
listing has had its legitimate result in this
unprecedented vote. So it has been all over
the State, as is evidenced by the increased
democratic, and reduced Union majorities.
But notwithstanding all this, we have great
cause for rejoicing in the fact that our State
ticket, and a majority of the Union Congres
sional and Legislative tickets aro elected by
fair majorities. • Although the secession sync.
pathizers made a hard fight, and in a few dis
tricts were successful, the grand result his
redeemed our State from their treasonable
toils, and we will never again encounter them
as a formidable body. Frank Hughes' occu•
potion is gone, and lie had better remove his
secession committee, with its defeated candi
dates, to the more congenial regions of the
Southern Confederacy, where they naturally
belong In this Congressional district, the
Breckenridge candidate has been defeated by
almost 2006 majority. This result is entirely
due to the utter abnegation of poly lines by
the Republicans and the ardent support they
gave Mr. Bailey. Though beaten in our
county, the result in the State is in
fying. God bless oil Pennq.‘lvaiiia

STIRRING UP REBELLION
The following editorial from the Volunteer,
is a fair sample of the character of the op
position to the war for the Union, now being
made by the Hughes democracy of Penn
Sylvania. Thin paper pretended to support
Hon Jos. Redly for re-election to congress,
and the scull issue that ostensibly exalts over
his opponent's defeat, contains this traitorous
paragraph.

That Gen...INIeCLELLAN himself would.loy

front the moment that he was raised at abound
to the command in chief of the Union armies,
his name was made the rallying-point of that
mischievous and somi-traitorious cabal who
under the cry of " The Union as it was,"
were bent on bribing ha& to lip-loyalty the
contrivers of this detestable rebellion, by
proffering them not - merely immunity for their
evil doings, but a practical control of the Gov

Stanton's order that Gen McDowell should
reinforce then McClellan before Richm m,t,
leaving \Washington to be defended as it might.
And the division of commands in Virginia, of
which so great a handle has been made, was
an inevitable consequence of the decision to
approach Richmond by way of the James Riv
erpeuinsula—which mistake no " Abolition
ist" had any share in. Yet forty score of sillp
young officers, laboring under a frightful at

know no better than still to go raving and
foaming over the country, threatening the
most unutterable vengeance .of " the Army,"
on " the Abolitionists," if they ffian't '• stop
interfering with Gen. McClellan!"
Gen, McClellan, in his " Order No. 103,"
gives these zanies rind their more dangerous
ringleaders the rebuke they have so long need•
ed. In few but fit words, he defines admin..
bly the relations to the Government, the sol
dier to his country, and noillies his subordi
nates that the .pulicy and purpose of the War
in which they are engaged are to be settled not
by them but by the civil authorities,. and from
time to time made officially known to them by
the President. Ilis orders tu•e their law,
which no true soldier will think of disputing.
lle may still cherish the opinion (lint another
policy would be wisor and more effective, but
he will express that opinion temperately,
deferentially, and with profound respect for
the constituted authorities of the Nation. In
short, Gen. McClellan puts his hod desisively
on every scheme er project which looks to the
transformation of the Army into a sort of
Prep Parliament and Court of Reiision, and his
chief into a Homan lmperalor. • Gcn. McClel

Is this not fair and just?
The Pennsylvania Reserve Corps.
The subjoined generous tribute to our no
Lie Pennsylvania Reserves is from the
Y. Tribune. It is an eloquent vindica
tion of them from the cowardly aspersions
upon their bravery, with which the N. V.
Herald, has seen fit to adorn its secession
colurmns
To be deprived, of all tly• comforts of life,
to undergo unusu d hardships and exposures,
and to risk not only the chances of bat
tie, but the pestilence which is begotten in
swamps, would seem to be enough to ask of
our soldiers, without robbing them of the
credit due to brave men for gallant conduct.
The Pennsylvania ILeserve, so long under
Gen , Mc( - ill, but now led by Clem Meade;
has deserved as well of the country as any
command in the service. From the time of
the Dranesville fight to the4;eeent bloody
battle near Sharpsburg, the Corps has taken
a' prominent part in every engagement of
the Army of the Potomac; and often sue
twined without support the assault of Rebel
fors es three timer as large as itself. Some
~r rp g iments which left Penn
sylvania a year ago with full ranks are
now so silly , reduced that theyare regiments
only to narne, anti by virtue of their glorious
deeds. When they reached Fred •rickshurg,
on their way from the Peninsula t iPope,
- wa s sii , ftetting enough to sec their dress,
leircles. Three hundred or three hundred
and fifty battle worn, hungry, ill-clad vete
rans were ell that Adjutants could return as
lit for duty. The rest filled bloody graves
won at cavil of the PenimMla battle fields,
or had fallen victims to disease. But when
the line of marsh from Fredericksburg was
taken up the men stepped out as labilsly and
an I •alised as cheerfully as if the regiments
were marching to Hid: first battle.

Sl hit A BuNDAscE or MF.S.—There is ac
cording to the census, an excess of 733,2.;8
males over females in the United States.
This fact is noteworthy, and ought to quiet
the apprehensions of those who feared the
war svoall cause an undue preponderance
of' woolen after peace was declared. No
matter haw bloody the may be, or how long
it may last, it cannot make away with three
quarters of a million of lives. The waste of
life may wake the sexes nearly even ; but
even then we shall be better df than Eng
lund, where the females ate in excess by
nearly a million, and the kocial problem of
the day is,
o how to provide them with hus

Let the President knoW dhat every where
throughout all the land he is hailed as wisest
add best, amPthat by this great deed of en.
franchisement to an:oppressed people- -a deed
the doing whereof was never before vouch.
Wed to any mortal ruler—ho re•erentes

Single blow he has palsied the right arm of
rebellion. Slavrry is in the root of the re
bellion ; digs it up by the roots. Proper
ty in slaves, the appalling events of the last
two years show, is dangerous toldio existence
of the nation; he destroys such property.--
The rebels are dependent for their daily sub•
sistence upon their slaves; he makes thos.,
slaves freemen. As slaves they are the mere
subjects of rebels, to toil for them, to be used
by thimt as beasts of burden ; as freemen
they are the loyal allies of a free Ouvernment,
asking only in return the protection with such
a Government gives to the humblest, citizen.
By n word the President transforms a State
sunk in the seali-barliallSrn of is inedituval
age to the light and eivilzation of the Nine
teenth Christian Century. As it is not ex
travagant to say that (Jul had hid away this
continent till the, human race had reached its
manhood and was lit to enter upon so fair dill
inherit .nce, so it is a simple statement of
truth to itay that in all the ages there has

Do act so fraught with good for Cie sons of

We will not di,•tiss the question whether
Mr. Lincoln's proelawatfm of freed,ot to the
African race in the rebel States might not
have been more opportunely issued at the
time of the passage of the confiscation and
emancipation aet of .luly last. We pill aside
the question whether the interval between the
date of the proclamation owl the time fixed
for carrying its provkions into effect be the
wisest part of the proceeding It salsifies us
that the step has at length been taken The
twenty-second of Semtember of this year will
hereafter be a day to be commemorated
peculiar honor, a day illu•trious in the annals
not only of our own country but of the world,
the day to which the present Thief Magistrate
of the United States will recur hereafter as
the most glorious of his life. (In that day
so many chattels, by one stroke of his pen,
were made men; so many slaves. on the shed
ding of a few drops of ink, started into free
men. No act of emancipation which digni
ties the history of our race ever bestowed the
blessing of freedom on a 6C./
or snapped ussunder so toatt, ut
ouce.
It is well known that the President hid this
proclamation reedy some week.; since, that
he laid it before his Cabinet, and urged, with
his usual clearness and iinpressiveness of
sintemeut, the reasons ter isiting. it, that he
found but two of the mettilters adverse to the
11r—Seward and Mr. Blair, whose
objections were 50 strongly urged that he laid"
it for a time aside; that he by no means
abandoned his design, and that after the de
feat of our army under Pope, a, defeat which
but for the shameful neglect to reinforce him
should have been it victory, followed by the
invasion of Maryland, there is reason to sup
pose drat he regretted not having issued it at
the time it was drawn up, and became fully
resolved that the moment our arms should be
again in the ascendant. and the disgrace of
that invasion wiped away, liberty should he
proclaimed to the captive all over thus rebel

THE N E %ITS.
The raid of Stuart's Hebei Cavalry in
Pennsylvania caused considerable excite
merit, accompanied as the accounts were,
with rumors that they had made a dash upon
Frederick, destroyed, all the Government
stores, with the Monocacy bridge, ears and
engines, and had eluded all the Federal
troops sent in pursuit of dicta.
The Rebels reached Eininittsbur,g from
Chambersbur , on Saturday afternoon, and
made but a short slay there, not having gone
to Getiysburg as reported From Emmit
burg they tiroceedcd to Wdoilsboro,' within
eight miles of Frederick, and finding that
Getimid McClellan had ordered a large force
there to intercept them they took a inure
'asterly route by way of Liberty, crossing
the railroad track at Monrovia, They in
tended to capture and destroy the large trains
of stores at. the Mumicacy Station, together
with the bridge, but the force ordered there
from Harper's Ferry WILS too strong for them
to attempt, to seize the great prize. They
'limy cut the telegraph wires anil tore up a
few rails, but they were all repaired within
an hour alter they passed the track. flue
division of this force was rep irkil to be
commanded by Fitzhmth Lee, although some,
of the lkbel papers hive published his obit

fluent effect, for it is with difileulty that thoy
con get' . down to soldier's ditre , and.thode of
liviitg; and are ritt . h •r:disposed to put on out
superfluous airs... We will however become
acclimated again in a short ti 003.;,

new regiments—the 121st has been assigned
to the first Brigade -112c1 to the - 2nd and
the 3d has not arrived. Whether this will
affect the different regimental organizations
I cannot tell—Ht certainly is a very unai r
way to - recruit . the Division. - Gen. REi-
Nobns, senior Brigadier, has been temporar
ily appointed commander c,t the Corps,
(Hookers,) and our Brigadier, Gen. MEADE,
has the division in charge. Gen. Seyuoua
commands the Ist Brigade. These are ex
cellent and brave o' llicers, and are all respec
ted and beloved by the 'command, Gen.
Meade, for consumniate bravery and cool
judgment in I me of danger, is unexcelled,
and is fairly worshipped by his Brigade., Of
this Rogitnent there has been some change
in officers, incident to the vicissitudes of
battle. From the time of the exodus from
the Peninsula, to our arrival at Manassas,
Lieut. Col. I I enderson was in command At
the latter place drat ()dicer was wounded
whilst gallantly (longing at thehcah of the
Regiment, and the command devolved on the
senior captain, Jamison, who condneted it.
ablyuntil the opportune arrival of Col. Bel
' linger, who met the regiment at Fairfax-
Court House, then falling back from Centre
ville. Althrugh this officer was just return
o o- from a bed of sickness, and was• even,
then indisposed, he immediately tonic cam.
mai.d of his regiment, and was received with.
vociferous cheers. He retained' the corn—
mand until the battle of lilac Ridge,-when'
he was severely wounded whilst storming
the heights, and was compelled to quit the
field Maim. Leman then took command,
and holds it at present writing. Two of the
line officers—Capt. Colwell, orcompany A.,
and Lieut. Sanders, of company K., were
killed in the battle of Antietam. Sickness,.
resignations and death have fearffilly deei-•
mated the list of our offbiers, and there are
very low companies in the regiment that
have their complement.
The raid into Pennsylvania by tho rebel:
cavalry was a trick more cooly brave and
rash than the history of war presents._ We
must confessr—homdiatiating as it is—that
we have been. out generalled yankeed
by the rebels. To permit them to ride un
molested nearly through the heart of a loyal'
state, in the face of a large army, and des
. troy and steal to their h' iris' content with
out hindrance from civilian or soldier, is cer
tainly disgraceful, and causes-intense

This is the lov.dy month of October, how I
love to walk out into the fields and need, to
80 upon the fading beauties of the comfier.
There seems to lie a sadness hovering around
all things. The troul that were no l a t e ly
clothed in robes of the deepestdarkest green,
are slowly fading. Whit a feeling of sadness
steals into the heart, as we mark the faded
flowers—the yellow leaf, and hear the au
