eight men, officers and priyates, and belonged to
the Illinois Normal Regiment. They have hereto

were rot in expectation Of an encounter; bat the
party was usual attentive to their duties and
gave the enemy g reception which was courageous
and gallant in the highest degree.

morning. The sscessioniscs came close up to the
Illinoisans with the design OF capturing and dis
arming them before resistance conid be made. The
latter, however, seized their muszets discharged

Pe.nsylvapta EIoc,ion.

The Harrisburg (PA.) Patriot and Union of the
I1Eh inst says OF the recent election in that State
From the complexion of the election returns
from various quarters of the State, we have little
doubt that the Democrats have majority of the
aggregate popular vote, and probably have elected
q majority OF members to the House of Represent
tives. The vote in Westmoreland county is indics-
tive of g revolution in the western part Of the
State"
1t further adds, in another article:
The returns of the election are not sufficient to
determine the political complexion of the Legiss-
ture but is certain that the Democrats have gained
largely and possibly elected majority to the
House of Representatives. We have never known
an election Of which it difficult to obtain the
returns. The Democrats have gained Senator in
Philadelphia, Scuykil and IN all probability
one IN Montgomery and one in Bucks. The current
OF the vote throughout the State is decidedly in IA
yor OF the Democratic party and indicates that it is
destined to control the politics OF the State in the
future"
