CITY Election.

The Election, Tuesday, passed off very
quietly, though considerable work was
done BY the friends Of the candidates.
The result shows the success of the Re-
publican Ticket with the exception of As
sossor and School superintendent We
regret the loss of those two officers, and
more particularly deplore the defeat of
Mr. Wusor for Superintendent, as there
j. nc man in the City who has taken the
interest in our Schools that he has, or
done as much for their advancement. He
appeared to be the target at which the
principal shafts of the opposition were
aimed, who, undoubtedly, had more than
political object in his defeat.
On the whole, Mineral Point has done
nobly for correct principles. The follow

As Congress has failed to make any en-

that it has no longer any existence in this

martial law in any form or disguise is in

Protest against arming Negroes
A sKIRMIsH IN ARKANSAS.


ST. LOUIS, Oct 81.
Dispatches received at headquarters,
from Helena, Arkansas, to the 18th inst,
report all quiet and the Fort nearly COM
pleted. The rebel General Holmes had
sent to General Carr under a flag of truce
q communication which falsely assumed
that the United States Government or its
Generals had engaged in arming the ne
groes in Arkansas, to which course Holmes
entered emphatic protest.
General Carr promptly responded tell
ing him that neither Government or it's
agents had armed negroes on the con-
trary the Federal troops had been employed
in disarming the negroes, and while SO en-
ployed were attacked and a portion cap
tured by guerillas. General Carr adds,
whatever may be the policy of my Com
manding Officer and the Government, 1
shall most cheerfully follow it out
In skirmish On the 1lth, twelve miles
west of Helena, the national forces cap
tured the Lieutenant-C Colonel of the 2lst
Texas regiment and twelve privates. The
enemy's further loss is unknown. Major
Rector of the 4th Iowa was taken prisoner,
and we had four killed, six wounded and
fourteen missing.
The friends of General Fremont last

Wonderful NeHn.

The Charleston Mercury, of the 4thinst.,
has some news from Nashville, which the
Union says lays all previous " grapevine"
in the shade. Some ten days ago q few
"jovial cusses' in Nashville, being anxious
to so to Louisville, got sailboat, rigged it
up, dubbed it the Forlorn Hope, and hav-
ing laid in a stock Of crackers, sardines
and corn juice started down TO Smithland.
Unluckily, the adYenturers had not hoated
more than three or four miles, before q
party Of thieves brought them to shore,
robbed them, and made them walk back to
the city. Well, this wonderful perform
ance is thus published in the Charleston
Mercury:
ImYoTtdnt from ChattaHooga-Situation

dated September Both, says that the steam
er Forlorn Hope was captured by the reb-
els on Sunday, q few miles below the

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.
A despatch dated Bolivar Heights, Goth,
to the Tribune states the rebels who fol-
lowed Gen. Humphries back to the river,
again picket down to the Potomac. There
is very little picket firing across the river.
Provost Marshal Capt J. H. Pell of the 1st
Minnesota went out with Hancocks re-
connoissance to Charleston, and called on
some person residing there. When our
troops left Charlestown, they did SO very
suddenly, andit is supposed Capt. Pell was
not aware of their exit until the rebels re-
turned and took him prisoner.
Intelligence of him has since been re-
ceived.
The major, quartermaster, and two lieu
tenants Of the 2zd Massachusetts were set
to work on the fortifoations, yesterday, for
being found absent from their regiment
without passes, in violation of McClellan's
order.
The report that the army is waiting for
the hard frosts, is preposterous. The roads
are hard, dry, and in superb condition for
marching. The heavy rains here which
usually commence about the first of No.
vemberS will render them muddy and diff
cult.
The following is a special dispatch to a
morning paper:
FAIRFAX c. H., Oct. 20.-On the return
of General StshTs expedition, a small par
| ty was sent out toward Bristoe Station, as
| it was understood force of the enemy was
there. During last evening, three Of the
party returned and reported that the rest
had been cut off. This story was after
proved false by the arrival Of the remain
der of the party without having received
any injury. They had been attacked near
| Catlett's Station by about twice their num-
ber, and engaging them at close quarters,
succeeded in checking their further ad-
vance.
Herald's special says:
The pressure for forward movement is
becoming almost general. 1t is urged with
an earnestness that has never been equal
led The argument is used that protrac.
tion Of our present inaction will ruin the
country.

he has given up any hope of a recognition
