Lent. Col. Trimhlc.

This gentleman, Mahoney candidate for
Judge in this District, denies apologizing at
this place for going to the war, but has neg.
lected our request to furnish his remarks
for publication to enable. the public to ldge
for themselves. We now refer to the fol.
lowing gentlemen, citizens of this place. who
heard Trimble's speech here, o-wit: James
Hawley, DR.. j. Williamson, A. II. Hamilton
and James Hackworth, all among our mos,
truthful and reliable citizens, who, il need
be, will be qualified that the language attrib
uted to Trimble on the occasion referred to
was used by him substantially.
The fact is, Tr:mble's speech here was
evidently designed to curry favor with the
Anti.war Democrats, secure their acqui
essence in his nomination, and the most ma.
terial part, their votes There was not q
Union man present who did not so under
stand it. The most severe denunciations
uttered Immediately after the speech, wa.
by Union Democrats, who, to man, were
disguised with it. The friends of the sup
preston Of the rebellion, the uncond,tiona
war and Union men, of this District, wan
no such man as H. H. Trimble on the bench
where questions affecting the very founda
tons and existence of civil society, ma,
have to be passed upon Undecided. 1t i
to be hoped there may be enough Of then
to defeat him. 49,. .

The Clerks Office.

Wei present to the taxpayers of this coun.
ty, in another place, a statement showing
the cost Of running the County Clerks OF.
flee from January 1st, 1861. to September
of this year, inclusive. from which it will be
seen that for the first five months Brown
was paid the total sum Of $711.s3, being
$142.33 per month; that for the sixteen
months last past, being from June, 1861
to September, '62, both inclusive, he has
been paid $s,S74s9, being at the rate of
$160.70 per month, which is not full pay.
ment for that period as the law allows him
$l66.66 per month, or s., 900 per year, for
himself and deputies. It will be further
seen that for the first five months named Of
the $T1T.93 the fees amounted to 1922 .16,
while $4S977 was drawn from the Treasury ;
that for the other period of sixteen, $1194. SO
was received in fees, and $2,1s4.57 drawn
from the Treasury. Another curious cir
cumstance will be noticed, to-wit: that the
fees range all the way from S2O.5O in Au.
gust 1851, to $l24.74 in May 1862, quite a
discrepancy.
Now we maintain that this il too much
pay for these hard times, more than the ser.
vices are worth, and more than it ought to
cost. 1t can. be done good deal cheaper,
and we venture to say quite as well. Mr..
j. f. Gillespie, the Republican candidate,
pledges himself, if elected, to do the work
for EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS PER
YEAR LESS Think of this, tax. payers,
consult your pockets, and vote for Mr.. Gil.

Our advices from the Dubuque DISTRICT
are that Allison will best the traitor Mahony
from six to ten thousand, and the majority
Is likely to be nearer the latter than the for

THE AR.
Official Account Of the Losses
in Maryland Battles.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8o.-The following
report Of the victory Antietam has been for.
warded to Headquarters Of the Army by
Gen. Mcclellan:
NEAR SHARPsBuRoH, Sept 90, I:30 P, NJ.
To Rajor General H. ". Halleek, Com.
nander-in- chief o. s. Army:
/ have the honor to report the following
as some Of the results of the battle of South
Mountain and Antietam. At South Noun.
tain our loss was 443 dead, 1890 wounded,
and 76 missing; total, 2,315. At Antietam
our loss was 2,olo killed, 9,416 wounded,
and l.o44 missing; total, 12,469. fetal
loss in the two battles, 14,79A
The loss of the rebels in the two battles,
as near rs can be ascertained from other
data, will not fall shot of the following esti-
mate. Major Davis, Assistant Inspector
General, who superin tended the burial Of
the dead, reports buried upon the field Of
Antietam by our troops Previous to
this, however, the rebels have buried many
of their own dead upon the distant battle
probably at least 5000. The loss of the re
bells at South Mountain cannot be ascertain.
ed with accuracy, but as our troops drove
them from the commencement Of the action,
and as much greater number of their dead
was seen = much greater number of their
decd was seen on the field than Of our own
men, it is not unreasonable to suppose that
the::r loss was greater than ours. Estima.
ting their killed at 500, the total number OF
rebels killed in the two battles would be
1000. According to the ratio of our own
killed and wounded, this would make their
loss in wounded Is, 742, as nearly as can be
determined at this time. The number of
prisoners taken by our troops in the two
battles win, at the lowest estimate, amount
to 5000. The full returns will no doubt
show larger number. Of these about
1900 are wounded. This gives me rebel
loss in killed, wounded and prisoners 25,.
542. 1t will be observed that this does not
include stragglers, the number of whom is
said to be, by citizens, very large. 1t may
be safely that the rebel army lost at least
80 900 of their best troops, from the time
time our troops first encountered the enemy
in Maryland until hc was driven back into
Virginia. We captured Is guns, Z cais-
sons, Q limbers, 2 field FORCES, 2 caisson
bodies, 80 colors and a single flag We
have not lost single gun or color on the
battle field of Antietam. $4,000 small arms
were collected, besides the large number
carried off by citizens, and those distributed
on the ground to recruits and other unarm-
ed men arriving Immediately after the battle
at South Mountain. No calculation of small
arms was made, owing to the haste of the
pursuit from that point. 400 were taken
from the opposite side of the Potomac,

from the Baltimore Am eriean.

FROM the Baltimore American.
BALTIMORE, Sept. ga ride from tn,
centre Of the Army of the Potomac to its
right wing at Williamsport gives one an
impressive idea Of the immense number Of
men and aggregation of mat erial that has
been brought together. For 1a miles the
eye never loses sight Of camps.
DR.. Mclaughlin of Bradley Johnson's
staff gave himself up to the pickets of the
9Th Maryland. He stated he was utterly
tired Of the rebel service, and would sooner
be in Fort McHenry than with their army
in Virginia.
Early this morning large force Of cavai
ry crossed the Potomac at Blackburn's Ford
ard moved off towards Shephardstown.-
They had not returned when I crossed thi,
letter.
Our scouts visit Shepardstown frequent
ly by day, while the rebel cavalry still come
here at night; that place being held by
neither.
At Shepardstown Ferry, on this side o.
the Potomac, there are over 200 wounded
rebel prisoners, guarded by the 9lst Penn
regiment, and under the care Of sixteen
surgeons. The men are OF the desperate
wounded class.
Our advance is 4 or5 miles out, and q
rebel force, composed of ten brigades Of
Louisiana and North Carolina troops, are in
our immediate front, and show disposition
to contest our further advance, especially
the cavalry and artillery.
A skirmish took place this morning, in
which our men drove the rebels some dis.
lance. A rebel cavalry officer was cap,ur.
ed, and brought into the Ferry.
