The Election in Baltimore.

The election for Governor and State Of
ficers says the Baltimore american, passed
off quietly and peaceably in this city, though
though there was quite number of arrests
made on the charge of disloyalty, which pre-
vented full vote being cast by the oppo-
neuts of the Union candidates. The intim-
idation caused by these arrests is to be re-
GREETED, as there has been no doubt at any
time since the 10th of April that a large ma
iority of the legal voters OF the city are de-
voted to the preservation of the Union.
The intimidation at the April election for
the Legislature, which, sustained by the au-
thorities of the city, effectively silenced the
Union sentiment, led on Wednesday to de-
sire for retaliation, which was, to a conside-
rable extent, practiced iu all the wards.
The Judges, however, were all men Of
standing and character, and in most of the
precincts Opposition judges were in attend
ance. In all other respects the election was
a fair one, the greatest care being taken
everywhere to prevent illegal voting. The
whole vote cast was 2I,O69, of which the
Union candidates received an average vote
Of 17,722. The whole vote of the city at
the Presidential election in November last
was 29,06s. In July last the whole vote
at the Congressional election was 24,994.
It will therefore be seen that the Union
candidates yesterday received an undoubted
majority of the legal votes of the city, which
is estimated now not to exceed 10000.

Bloody Work at GuyandOtte, Va.

GALLAPoLIs. Ono, Nov. 11.-Guy
andotte, Va, on the Ohio river, 81
miles below here, was attacked las,
night, and out of 100 Federal troops
stationed there only 80 escaped, the rest
being killed or taken prisoners.
The rebels, both male and female,

Three steamers which passed down

These boats went back to Guyandotte

CINCINNATI, Nov. 12.-The defeat of
Union forces at Guyandotte was accom-
plished by trickery on the part of the
inhabitants. 1t seems that force of
rebel cavalry, variously estimated at
from 500 to 1000, had concentrated in
the country back Of town.
These proposed, with the assistance
of rebel inhabitants of Guyandotte, to
annihilate the federal forces in the town.
This force consisted of $50 of Vir-
ginia regiment and few of Zeigler's
Virginia cavalry.
1T was arranged between the rebel
Cavalry and the rebel citizens to mas.
sacre our troops in cold blood. Ac-
cordngly the rebel citizens were very
kind to our troops last Sunday evening,
and invited them to their houses on
various pretcxts, and all who were off |
duty accepted the invitation. While
they were being entertained, about half
nast eight o'clock at night, the rebel
Cavalry dashed into town, Signals were
displayed from every house where Fed
erals ,wcre, and into these the rebels
rushed, numbering the unarmed soldiers
in cold blood. The rebel citizens, men
and women, rushed to arms and aided
the cavalry in the slaughter The Fed
erals in camp prepared as soon as pos
sible for defence, but were overpowered
and had to break. Very few men were
killed in the engagement with the cav
airy, nearly all that were killed being
murdered in the houses
When Col. Ieigler arrived, on hear

Details Of the Fight at Gauley
Bridge.

Captain G. M. Goulding, Quarter
master in Rosecrans army, arrived a
Cincinnati on Monday, direct from
Western Virginia. He gives the lates
ana most trustworthy account of thu
fight between Rosecrans and Floyd
We copy from the Cincinnati CONNER
cial -
"On Friday morning, at s o'clock
the Rebels opened fire on Gen. Rose.
Grams positions at Camps Tompkins and
Gauley, from the hills on the west side
of New river. They had two pieces Of
artillery, and banged away vigorously
throwing shot and shell, and their Skin
mishers, concealed in the bushes on the
hill side, kept up roar of musketry
The weight of the enemy's fire was d.
rected upon Gauley. and the object was
manifestly to stop the supply trains,
which they did on Friday. Soon after
opening fire they succeeded in sinking
the ferry boat at the mouth of the
Gauley. 1t was, however, raised on
Friday night and put in order. The
rebels threw about forty shells into the
camp of the Eleventh Ohio, but did not,
with all their firing, kill single man,
and wounded but few. Tue majority
of their shells did not explode. Lieut..
Col. Sedgwick, of the Second Kentucky,
was reported to have been slightly hurt
in the knee by a splinter of shell.
The rebels made no demonstration on
Saturday, and all was quiet when our
informant left.
" The telegraphic communication be.
tween Gen. Rosecrans and the country
was interrupted by an accident. When
the rebels commenced throwing shells
the telegraph operator, thinking his po-
sition was within range of the enemy's
guns, hastily despatching that battle
had commenced, proceeded to remove
the office, and piling all the apparatus
into wagon started up the Gauley.
Gen. Rosecrans, hearing Of his move
ment, ordered him back, and as he was
returning his wagon was capsized and
tumbled down precipice into Gauley
river, thus destroying his batteries and
instruments. ts .E.
alt will be remembered that the Ka-
nawa river is formed by the junction of
Gauley and New rivers. The Gauley
runs from the east, and New river from
the south. The main body of General
Rosecrans' army was posted in the angle
between the rivers, some regiments be-
ing several miles distant. from the point
where the rivers meet, on the left bank
of Gauley and the right bank of New
rivers. Communication with tho coun-
try below is kept open along the right

Gen. FremOnt's Removal.
From the N. Y. Times.)

1
Nothing could possibly be more admirable
in tone and temper, than Gen. Fremont's
order to his troops announcing his with
| drawal from their command. 1t is manly
and patriotic, and will confirm that confidence
in his character and ability which is so widely
felt throughout the Western States. The
order for his removal found him in the
midst of preparations for battle sur
rounded by troops full of faith in their
leader and themselves, and eager for an OPP
portunity to vindicate it by their acts. 1t
was the most trying position in which a
popular General and a formidable army
could be placcd-but both have come out of
it with conspicuous honor to themselves and
the country.
The example will be initiated by the hun
dreds of thousands throughout the country
who believe Fremont to have been the victim
of conspiracy and whose confidence in
him remains mistaken by the act of the
Government in removing him, or the reasons
which have been given to the public for do
ing so. They will recognize the imperative
necessity, in time of war, and for the sake
of the country, of yielding implicit obedi-
ence to the Government, and throwing no
obstacles whatever in the way of its plans.
Whether the removal of Fremont was right
or wrong, it is too late for remedy or COM
plant. His army has another commander,
and lis the duty of every citizen to strengthen
his hands and aid his endeavors in the pro-
motion of the common cause. Unqueston-
ably the time will come when all who have |
Just esponsibity--when The conduct of
Fremont will DO submitted to the close scru-
Tiny of an impartial tribunal, and he will
receive from the people the verdict which he
merits. But that time is not now. Other
interests of far greater moment than the
claims or the merits Of any individual de-
nand attention. A gigantic rebellion threat
ms the existence of the Governmental is
he first duty Of every citizen to crush that
ebelion and save the country.
(From the Herald.
While every intelligent man must approve
he removal of General Fremont, because OF
il unitness for the very important and re-
ponsible position to which he was appointed,
will be universally conceded that his con-
uct in retiring from the command of our
rmy in Missouri was cminently patriotic,
iscreet and commcndable. His farewell adj
ress to his soldiers is the best thing that he
as done. His army was attached to him,
o doubt but we have no fears that his re-
1oval will result in any serious insuboldin-
ton in the camp. His Italian and Hunga-
an officers, brave and gallant men, may be
isposed to adhere to the fortunes of their
,ader but some allowances must be made
} their ignorance of oar political institu-
ons and of cur military system. President
lincoln is not the man to deal unjustly or
generously with any public officer. He
as dealt very tenderly with Fremont but
IS removal had become a public necessity,
which the President could no longer shut
S eyes; and this tells the whole story.

camp, it was discovered that the rebels
were crossing over from Kentucky for
the purpose of attacking us in the rear.
