feel his own legions recoil before them.—
General Thomas cart now assume the offen

Sherman." - •
OP-Deserters from Early's army confirm
the report of his falling back to Staunton,
where he will go into winter quarters. The
main portion of the Rebels were in the vi
cinity of Woodstock, on their way up the
Valley ; when last heard from, the men being
. in a wretched condition from" want of cloth
ing and proper food, and consequently much
discontented. When General Early made
his advances of Friday and Saturday, the
11th and 12th instant, resulting in the cav
alry fights in which he was heseverely wors
ted,, he entertained thebelief that Sheridan's
army had been weakened by the sending off
of large detachments to other points. Find
ing out his mistake, he was glad to make a
hasty escape.
rir The Louisville Journal abandons Ski ,

,In a leading 'editorial, in reply to a
correspendent who urges emancipatien as
the only hope and salvation of Kentucky, it
frankly admits that the "peculiar institution"
is virtually detd, and dead by its -own hand.
It contends that the queqtion is no longer
how it shall be saved from utter wreck, but
how it shall be finally extinguished, and
with the least jar to the social institutions of
the South. It admits that it has ptoved a
curse to Kentucky; that "if the Anti-Sla
very Constitution, ad powerfully advocated
by Henry Cliy many years, had been adopt
ed, the State would claw be more prosperous
wealthy, and happy than it is."

IMPORTANT STATEMENT.—From a
speech of Hon. William Whiting, Solicitor
of the War Department, we learn that up to
October Ist, 120,000 men bad been furnish
ed as volunteers to fill quotas under the call
for 500,000 men, and that the draft has been
successfully made throughout the country.
Its completion is reliably expected to furnish
all the men needed to close the war. There
are not+ in service about 146,000 colored
troops.
serA St. Louis paper says "there ate not
less than 200,000 persons in Missouri this
day who'are little better than paupers ) not
knowing where to get food to maintain them
through the winter."
iGold has been coming dotru rapidly,
during the past week. It is now quoted at
$2ll. Markets of all kinds have a down
ward tendency.,
rirA fearful state of society exists at
Richmond, showing a deplorable state of
demoralization among the 'chivalry. Three

that General Canby's wound is not serious,
and that he is doing well, and will be confin
ed to his quaiteys by it for ()sly a short
time.
. WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—Nearly two-weeks
have elapsed since direct information was te•
ceived from General Sherman himself. The
Government has no intelligence of his recent
movements of later date than that contained
in Friday's liiehmend papers. •
General Sherman at least a i month since
fully informed the proper ant torTriTact
Washington of his plans i which, judging by
the rebel accounts, have thus far been car
ried into effect with_a_bright promise of sue-
Icess throughout the present campaign.
CAIRO, Nov. 22.—New Orleans papers of
the 15th say that General Canby is recover.
ing. The announcement of his death,. which
was telegraphed from here on the authority
of the clerk of the steamer Stickney, thus
proves to be false.
Election InOidentsland Wagers.
Some curious wagers were made on the re
sult of the late election. A citizen of Tren
ton, N. J., in ease McClellan =tried tire
State, was, on all the pleasant days of a week,
(which he had reserved the right to select,)
to eat a frugal'dinner. on the steps of the
court house, said dinner to be served to him
by boot-blacks in the filthiest state of dilapi
dation. In Chicago, an ex.ll. S. marshal
will, according to the terms of his wager, be
compelled to pay for and eat four - dinners
with such colored company as the fortunate
winner of his wager may select, In Bing
hampton, N. Y., there is — a lady whose sui
tor Was a strew). e' supporter of McClellan.—
Se certain was he of his favorite being the
favorite of the people, that he proposed to
his sweetheart that in case of Lincoln's elec
tion he Would promenade the public streets
at high noon day, with a large placard on
his back inscribed "Sold," never dreaming
that be would have to fulfil his promise.—
But on Wednesday last, having discovered
his mistake, he was forced to execute his
promenade, much to his own disgust and to
the delight of small boys and the amusement
of children of larger growth.
URN. SHERIDAN APPOINTED TO SUCCEED
GEN. MCCLELTJAN.—The follatiting official
order has been issued:
War Department s • Washington I November
14th. Ordered by the President :—I. That
the resignation of George B. McClellan, as
Major General in the United States army,'
dated November Bth, and received by the
Adjutant General on the 10th inst., be ac
cepted as of the Bth of November.
IL That for the personal gallantry, mili
tary skill and just confidence in the courage
and patriotism of his troops, displayed by.
Philip 11. Sheridan, on the 19th day of Oc
tober, at Cedar Bun, whereby, under the
blessings of Providence. his routed army was
re-organized, a great—national-disaster avert—
ed, and a brilliant victory achieved over the
rebels for the third time in pitched battles
within thirty days, Philip H. Sheridan is ap-
pointed 3lajor General in the United States
army, to rank as such from the Bth day of
November, 1864.
By order of the President of thClltinTri -
Stntes. E. D. TOWNSEND,
Assistant Adjutant G eneaal.
Schuylkill county beats Sturbridge, Mass.,
and Conneaut township, Crawford county,
Pa., places noted for the great age of two
citizens who voted at the late election. On
the; Bth of November, Bernard Eisenhuth,
a resident of New Castle township, this coun
ty, aged one hundred and seven years five
tnonths and twenty-three days, voted for A
braham Lincoln. Mr. Eisenhuth was born
in Lebenon, Ps., and was a member of the
Lutheran Church of that place. He has liv
ed in the woods of Schuylkill county during
the last fifty years. He has had eleven chil
dren, six sons and five daughters. His young
est living daughter is fifty years of age.. He
has been a very hard-working man. Up to
the time of experiencing an accident, 'some
three years since, which dislocated his hip
joint, he could walk thirty miles a day. If
he lives until the 16th day of next May, Mr.
Eisenhuth will be 108 years old. If any see
tion 'of the country can produce a parellel to
this ease, we should like to hear of it.
CAN SHE HOLD °till—The Weekly Pha
nix, of Phmnixville, Chester county, says
that a young lady of East Vincent, that coun
ty, had an offer of marriage from a 'young
gentleman as follows: That if •General Mc-
Clellan was elected ho would marry her, to
whieh she acceded, and if he was not elect
ed was to remain single four years lon

Rebel Letters Caittured
A correspondent of the Boston Traveller,.
gives the following extracts from rebel let-•
tern captured at the battle of Cedar Creek
by Sheridan's troops. Some of these letters
were written the day before the great battle;
and the rebels had no time to send them a
rray._ A rebel major says
"We have been getting thrashed in• the
valley considerable lately ; it reminds me- of
our old times in Mississippi. - I think I stand
it better than the rest, as being more used
to it.
"We have plucked up courage again,
however, and old Juba! intends, I believe,.io
attack them' to-morrow at daybreak.
"I am only fearful of the result, for they
out-number us , considerably, and are Bushed
with success, besides being fortified."
A rebel ehaplain„reviewing the campaign
in the valley up to that time, says :
"Our losses in men have been compara
tively small, but we have about thirty-six.
cannon less than we. entered the campaign
with, and about forty wagons less. We are
just on the point of trying a flank movement
on the Yankees, which . will either retrieve
the fallen glory of the Army of the Valley,
or blot it out forever. God grant that- the
latter may not happen, but I must eoefess
that I shall mount my horse this evening,
with many forebodings of success
"It seems to me that, in his despair; gar
ly is about to hurl his army (already more
than "shaky") against a much larger force
of the enemy (and they flushed with vieto
ry) to make a name or lose his army.
The following extract from a letter of a
private soldier to his mother exhibits a sim
ilar feeling of distrust:
"I judge that we move to attack the ene
my in the morning at daylight. From the
disparity of numbersin the two armies, and
from the fact that the enemy occupy a strong
and entrenched posiiion, I think the result
will be most disastrous to us. We have seen
enough of the superority of the enemy's cav
alry to know that they can turn a repulse-in
to a defeat, and a defeat into a rtnxt.
"I have no confidence in our leaders,. and
since the Fisher Hill affair almost as little in
oui men. I cannot see the reason we should
risk another offensive battle with such fear
ful-odds. I go inter-this-battle with the worst
forebodings. God grant they may not come
true. For myself f I shall go into it perfect.
ly content, willing to be ignorant of the re
sult and certainit will be all for the best."
Mrs. Peggy Fite, who died, a few days
ago, in Wilson county, Tenn., was one hun
dred and three year&old on the first of March
last. Her husband,. Leonard Fite, was a sol
dier of the 'Revolutionary wet, and fought
through that struggle -as a private, having
steadily refused promotion. Mr. and - Mrs. -
Fite emigrated to Tennessee from. North
Carolina, and settled in Nashville when the
place was known. as Nash's Lick In those
days Mrs. Fite often assisted irr moulding
bullets, while her
. husband and , ethers be
longing to the "settlement" were defending
themselves against the attacks of the Indians.
On the 12th of April, 1861, a large number
of her descendants met at the house of Jacob
Fite and celebrated the one hundreth anni
vetsary , of her birth. At that time she had
eleven children living—her oldest (a son) be
ing eighty years . old, and her youngest (a
daughter) fifty-nine; seventy-six grand chil
dren, three hundred and five great-grand chil
dren, seventy-one great-great-grand children,
and two great-great-great-grand children ; in
all, four hundred living descendants. At the
time of her death her grand children .of the
fifth generation had increased to twenty-one
and her grandson feels quite certain her
ing descendants now number over five hun
dred.
AN OLD PATRIOT.—John Chipper), of
Brokenstraw township Warren county, Pa.,
aged ninety•four years, went over four miles
to Youngsville on elution day, to vote for
