RESULT OF THE ELECTION
Tho result of the eleetiah held last Tues
day in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana has
determined fully that the Union cause will
triumph in November nexta Of course at
the present writing, we are unable to give
the exact result but all the indications are
that we have carried the whole three States
on the home vote. In our own State the vote
is a close one, and it may require the official
returns to determine which of the parties
have a majority on the popular vote, exclu
sive - 9f the votes of the gofdiers. Enough
is known, however, to make it cell sin that
we have gained three or far members of
Congress and have a majority in the State
Legislature. The vote of the soldiers will
undoubtedly give us a majority of from fif
teen to twenty thousand.
In the other States our success has been
decided. Indiana re-elects Guy. Norforiby
a greatly increased majority and gives us
seven out '''bf the eleven members of Con
gress, a gain of three. Ohio has given nt
least forty thousand majority for us on the
home vote and elects about sixteen Cnion
members of Congress in a delegation of aim
teen. This is a gain of at least twelve -
gressmen in this State.
This result is gratifying in the highe4 de
gree and insures the election of President
Lincoln beyond a doubt. We had not the
remotest hope that we could carry Indiana
the Democracy claimed it most confidently.
But they underrated the loyalty of-that gal-
lent State. She has come up to the work
nobly and has recorded her voice in favor
of the Union and the Govern meat. This
destroys the last hope for McClellan. In
all the estimates his friends were . inaking
they had counted on Indiana surely and4y
no calculation could they figure up a nudori
ty without her vote. Now their chalices n,r
carrying either Indiana or Pen 11 , ylvanis are
gone beyond recovery and their defeat is o
inevitable as it is deserved. Let every
• friend of the Union take courage fr om tli.•
result of last Tuesday and go cheerfully, ail
earnestly to work. We know that we will
succeed but let us make our:success a triumph.
We elected Abraham Lincoln President
four years ago by en enormous majority of
the popular vote in the States voting for him
and wo can make his majority just as groat
now if we will. Ms years of labor aril
care fur our interests; his patriotism and
fidelity to the cause of his country, and the
ability with which he has conducted our
Government in this terrible storm of treason
and civil war deserve for him this triumph.
And our country's best interests ; the main
tai mice of her institutions and the overthrow
of her traitorous foes demand that his majo
rity be triumphant and overwhelming. WE
CAN !%lAIiE IT SO AND WE WILL.
Result in the County
'We have not been able to ascertain the
vute on our County Ticket at the time of
going to press. We suppose the average
Democratic majority may reach 700. We
give below the majorities for Glossbrenner
and Bailey as we have received them up to
this time. The figures show that the calcu
lations of our Democratic friends upon 1200
majority have been seriously interfered with.

The Peaoe Platform Illustrated
The good peoph3-of Churchtowm and vi- ,
cinity were lately treated to a gratituitous
exhibition of the Copperhead version of the
'•free speech," or "free tight" doctrine, as
developed by the recent proceedings at their
public meetings.
For several days previous to the eventful
evening, the ciiiiiiiiittere - 01: - N. 0. B. were
busily engaged in ferretting out the imps of
the modern Democracy- throughout the sur
rounding country, who, tria , to their natural
instincts, responded cheerfully, fearfully, and
diabolical ly.
The early part of the evening was spent
by the permanent N. 0. 8., in getting up the
trequisite aniount of steam. to give their
friends from abroad an appropriate reception.
About cluck deli•gation No. 1, consisting of
a burly supporter of "Little Mac" from the
Lower End" arrived, and driving up to
the hotel, demanded, with a G—d d—n you,
lodging fur a Mac horse, and a Mac man ;
at the same time, he changed his base and
exhibiting a revolver exclaimed: "G —d
d—n you, don't rotten egg me." Of course,
the respectable people of Church town, hav
ing no thought of making any such demon
stration, were taken considerably aback by
this announeemi•nt.
Delegation N. 2 wai: a Rev. gentleman,
who, according, to the Rebellion Record, met
the -advaneing forces of Gen. Jeyikins last
year at Mt. Rock with Open arms. It is a
fact worthy of notice, that he was the Mas
ter of Ceremonies for the evening.
Didegation No. :1 a cAinglomeration of
the fagends of all the defunct political par
tie-:that have isted nithin the last twen
ty years. Their behavior on arriving, was
similar to that Of the burly delegation from
the "Lower End." They were from various
parts of the county.
The machine, having now got on a full
head of steam, was ready for action, when
the /?,si,/,rill F//4,1/0/1 ismted the following
proclamation: Tindall the Democrat; Aould
come out. from am o ngst the IThion men, so
that, in its any mi , -dlos wore thrown, they

With a very few cuts and thrusts, General
Logan made shreds of the last of the resolu
tion lies in the Chicago Platform:—" the
sympathy of the Democracy is heartily and
earnestly extended to the soldiers of the.
army and the 'seamen of the Navy." He
said:
" In what way do they sympathize with
us? By resolutions that the army is a noble
band of patriots, that the war hits been suc
cessful, and they aro proud of the army
No, sir. They say the war is a failure. Do
they congratulate us because we have plant
ed our flag in every Southern State? They
say we did no such thing. Do they sympa
thize with the widows and orphans of those
men slain in battle? Nut with one of them.
Is it ever by visiting the army and associat
ing'with the soldiers and officers? If so, I
have failed to see them. I want any num to

Which Shall Go bown, Slavery or
the Government•
The Union candidate for the Vice-Presi
dency, ANDREW Jonztsox, addressed a great
' meeting at Logansport, Indiana, oxi . Tues
day last. Ho riddled the false Democracy
that made the Chic ago nominations, and let
sunlight in upon' the treason that; lurks be= ,
ncath the 7.ifcClellan scheme of armistice
and the trick of a convention of the States.
A speech, statesman-like for scope and pow
er, was wound up with the presentation
of numerous evidences that the politicians
of the South had rejected the idea that a
people is capable of self-government, and
were bent on establishing an aristocracy ur
monarchy, involving the subjugation and
Slavery of the Mass of the people, white as
well as black ; that this was the object of the
present Rebellion ; and that in this object•"
they had the sympathy aml secret support
of the lenders of the Southern Democracy.
llc cat himself manfully and square-breast
ed against the influence that would save the
Shivcocracy by saving Slavery, in these
yds:
"These men at. Chieagri till]: about the
peace and restoration of the Union ; why
don't they tell you whether they are for re

or not, fir that is the question. Let them
show their hands. 1)(1 you want Slavery in

PORTRAIT OF LINCOLN
Senator John Sherman of Ohio made one
of his magnetic speeches in Sandusky last
week, to a vast audience that inclined to
every word of his oratory. ju the midst of
his powerful argumentation, he threw off a
personal sketch of AmtAnAm LINCOLN',
which will be recognized everywhere as life
like.
I know Old Abe, and I tell you there
is not at this hour a more patriotic, or a
truer man living than that man Abraham
Lincoln. Sonic say that he is,an.,imbecile ;
but he nut only held his own in his debates
with Douglas, whose power is admitted, and
whom I considered the ablest intellect in the
United States Senate, but got a litttle the
better of him. has been deliberate an
slow, but x ,wh en ho puts his foot down, it is
with the determination and certainty with
which our generals take their steps, and like
them, when he takes a city, ho never gives
it up. The firm old man is noble and kind
hearted, he is a child of the people. Go to
him with R story of woe, and ho will weep
like a child. This man, so condemned, Works
more hoUrs than any other' President that
ever occupied the chir. Ilis li.olicitudo for
the public welfare' is never-ceasing. I diff
ered from him nt first myself, but, at last felt
and'believed: that ho was right; and shall
vote for this: brave, true, patriotic, kind
hearted man., All his faults, and mistakes,
:y.on Alava seen.. All his virtues you never
can know. :Hifi patience in laborls wonder
ful. plle-Works far harder than any man in
Erie 'County. —4t.tho lead of this great na
tion, look Lat it: 'he has all the:bills •to sign
passed' by Congress.. No one can .be ap
pointed to any office without his 'approval ;'
no oi4o Pti.n be ,punished without the 'jlidg
'mcut . rebeives , his % signatures, and no
,one
pariloned without his, hand. This'.man, al
ways,:ti.ght,:allways jpstf wepropose now to
re-elect to the Presidency. To swap off such
a man as this, my countrymen; for McClel
lan, idle, incompetent, and unwilling, would,
in my opinion, be a devilish poor trade."

this portion of his remarks, "is that the man
who is in favor of this degradation is on the

FRIDAY, Octobi , E, 7, 1861.
Major-General ,Irohn A. Ike :
In a recent dispatch, it was mentioned
that Gen. ;Sherman was taking measures to
protect his communications from the rebel
hirces operating against them. Dispatches
received last night ;.how the fulfillment of
this expectation.
Major-Gen. George 11. Thomas was sent
to Louisville to Organize the troops in his
district, and drive — Rii'rCst — froin our lines,
while the attention or Getl. Shernnut was di
rected to the movements or` the uurin rubel
army in the vicinity or Atlanta.
On the 4th of October the rebels had cap
tured Big Shanty, but were followed closely
up by Sherman, on the Uth. A severe en
gagement was fought by our forces under
General French,
in which the rebels were
driven from the field with ho ivy loss, leav
ing their dead and wounded in our hands.
:Details aro given in tho following dispatch
oti from Gen. !Thomas :
NASEIVILLE, TENNESSEE, Thursday,
October, 6-11.30 P. M., f
Hon. E. .111.,Stanton Secretary of TVai' :
The following telegram is just receive(
from Chattanooga :
General Smith, who left here yesterday,
6 inst., telegraphs that the enemy retreated
last evening from Alatoona, moving in the
direction of Dallas, leaving his dead and
four to six hundred wounded in our hands.
Our loss was about one hundred killed and
two hundred wounded.
The Remelt bridge will be repaired by to
morrow, and thb trains will be able to run as
far as Ahttoona, going _kilt Cleveland and
Dalton. Nothing further—has been heard
from Sherman since my dispatch of yester
day ; but the retreat of the enemy towards
- Dalton indicates that he was close on their
rear near Alatoona. I have-- not heard
from Gene. Rousseau or WashbUrne to=day,
but presume that they aro pushing Forrest
as rapidly as the condition of the reads will
admit. We have had heavy and continuous
rains for the last five days, rendering the
roads-- anrstrearns almost impassable. I
have just received the following dispatch
from Gen. Granger, dated Hunts Ville, 10
Y. M.,.otb. The courier, reported drowned
crossing-the Ellc. - River; icin. He lest the
'dispatches while crossing the river. He re
ports that two rebels were captured yester,
day,- who say that they left Forrest at Law- ,

Another and unofficial dispatch reports as
follows
" Telegraph repaired to Alatoona to-day.
The action yesterday was severe, French at
tacking with his division, stiv'en thousand
strong, and sdffering heavily, leaving his

ber of ono thousand, while we, lost only
three hundred. The fight lasted .six hours
altogether. From Florence we hCar that
Morgan has Forrest cornered, has captured
his transportation, and that the gunboats
prevent all retreat across the Tennessee."
Sittisfavtory reports of the operations in
progress /before Richmond and Petersburg
have been received, but their details are, not

the Hanks of the army to find some pine°

invariably find our nem wide awake and

A party of one hundred of the Eighth

seventeen men while they were asleep, and
the whole party dispersed or captured. 1

McNeil was mortally wounded, , and fell into

STRASBU FIG. VA., Multi ight, Oct. 9.
T Lieut.-Gen. Grant, City Point:
In coming back to this pojnt, I was not
followed up until late yesterday, when a
large force of cavalry appeared in my rear.
I then halted my command to offer battle by
attacking the enemy. I became satisfied
that it was only all the rebel cavalry of the
valley-, commanded by Itossuit, and directed
To R ETT to attack at daylight this morning
and finish this "savior of the valley." The
attack was handsomely made. CCSTAR,
commanding the Third Cavalry Division,
charged in the back road, and MERRITT,
commanding the First Cavalry Division on
the Strasburg pike. MEIMITT captured 11ve
pieces I f artillery. CusTAK captured six.
pieces of artillery with caissons, battery
forge, &c. The two divisions captured for
ty-siiven wagons, ambulances, &c. Among
the wagons captured are the headquarters
wagons of Itossmt, LomAx, WICKMAN, and
Col. fom.Ann. The number of prisoners
will be about 3A9.
The enemy after being charged by our gal
lant cavalry were broken and ran. They
were followed by our men on the jump 26
miles through MonntJackson and across the
north fork of the Shenandoah. 1 deem it'
best to make this delay of one day here and
sett le this new cavalry General.
The eleven pieces of artillery captured to
day make thirty-six pieces enp,t ured in the
Shenandoah Valley since the 19th of Sep
tember. Some of the artillery was new, and
never had been tired. Thepieces weremark.-
