TMK LATEST WAR NEWS.

The gallant fight which took place the other
day at Bolivar, where our troops were so
brilliantly successful, was yesterday followed
by a second battle. In the morning the Rebels
appeared on the nights and attacked the Ma.
tional troops under Major Gould, using artillery
alone. Major Gould returned the fire BY can.

himself; the Rebels were beaten back, but not
I'LL they bad wreaked their vengeance by burning
mill from which our troops had taken a
great quantity of wheat, and making the miller
d prisoner. At the latest accounts the firing
was going on between the cOmbatants; Major
Gould was throwing shot and shell after the
enemy who was in retreat Great terror pre-.
sailed among the women and children Of the
neighborhoOd, numbers of whom were Fastening
TO Maryland.
1t is reported that the Rebels who retired
from the Potomac in the vicinity of Harper $
Ferry on the approach Of the sickly season are

OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

PENNSYLVANIA this year elected only Repre-
sentatiyes, part of Senate, Judges in some
districts. and local officers. The new Senate
is Republican or Peoples by nearly three to
one, the House ditto by a smaller majority.
The Pennsylvania soldiers in the Union armies
were entitled to vote as if at home, and the
non-return of their votes leaves many local re-
suits in uncertainty.
ONO elected Union War State Ticket by
some so 600 mejority-David Tod (DemOcrat)
Governor. 1t is but justice to his Democratic
opponent, II. j. Jewett, to say that he also
declared himself for a vigorous prosecution OF
the war. The new Legislature will of course
be strongly Union though pretty equally
divided as to political antecedents.
Iowa has reelected Gov. KirkwOOd and Chief
Justice Lowe (Repubcans) with Republican
to take COL Curtis's place in Congress, House.
The Legislature is understood to be also Re-
publican.
MINNESOTA has reelected Gov. Ramsey Re
publican) and gone Republican generally by a
heavy majority.
In all cases, we believe the vote is light.
Baltimore City has chosen UnioDists to fill her
Municipal Councils (half elected this year. }
The SecessOnists did not see fit TO contest
From Secessia, We learn that GEORGIA has
re elected Joseph +. Brown Governor by from
5, 900 to 10000 majority He is a great stickler
for State Rights, and, though Sccessonist,
obeys JEFF. Davis only when he sees fit.

The Albany Ereaing Journal is amiably
astonished that no one of the leading metro
poitan journals has seen fit TO deny the charge
of The Cleretand Herald as respects the special
telegraphic dispatches which, like our principal
contemporaries, we daily publish. Tie Herald
alleges :" that no portion of these long dis
"patcbes see the wires, but are sent by mai,

patches" To which we reply that The
Herald does not tell the truth. To procure

The Boston Journal, of Thursday says re-.
port had been received in that city to The Of.
feet that "the Government of Washington hsa
4" sent by Col. Thomas of the regular army, wha
" left for Europe in the steamer Of yesterday .
" letter ofcredit on the Earrings for Gl2,OOO,OOO.
SO for the purchase of army cloths and Other
supplies in England"
This intelligence, which The Journal hardly
credits has created a great deal of excitement
in Boston. We very much doubt the story,
which bears the marks of imprObsblity upon
its face. In its pressing need OF blankets
which, by the way, ought to have been antci-
pated, and provided for from our own manu-
factories-the Government has sent to Europe
for 200, 900 pairs, but that it has ordered army
cloths TO such vast amount from abroad, when
it is known that the machinery now in use in
the Northern States can, in thirty days, supply
all the wants of an army Of half million Of
men, is preposterOus.

ludicrous is, that the aforesaid black slave

The Missouri Republican of Wednesday denies
The report of our correspondent which we two
days before published, to the effect that the
Secretary of War had caused to be sent TO
Gen Fremont q letter of instructions to guide
ais movements, and pronounces the same a
,anard 1t makes very little difference what
opinion the paper mentioned holds, upon this
point certainly, though when it sees the text Of
the letter referred to, which we yesterday
morning published it will probably find occa.
sion to reconsider its judgment. One point
made by The Republican is worthy Of remark,
however. II distinctly declares that the field
works around st. Louis, which Gen. Fremont
was directed to suspend, are already completed,
with the exception of partly sOdding the in
trenchments and mounting the guns. 1t may
be added that, as we learn by telegraph, the
same paper states that these works have not
been suspended and that $4,000, 900 are to be
sent at once to st. Louis for the payment Of
debts contracted by Fremont

ANOTHER LOTTERY GRANr.-As we indica-

forth in our Dover correspondence this week,
strong efforts are being made to induce our

cIsntly into the component parts of our pres

ther Lottery grant. OF the individual MEM
bers we know we are confident that every one
OF them will prove uncompromising enemies of
