is the large majority given for the Union State
Ticket in Bradford County. COCHRAN polls
1924 votes to 176l for SLENEER being a ma

is due to the anxiety of our democratic friends
for the boilers county ticket. So anxious

HARpER's FERRY, Oct. 26-6 p.
I am happy to be able to inform you that
the advance of the Army of the Potomac COM
menced this morning, and have reason to be-
lieve that before tomorrow night the move
ment will be general along the whole line,
placing the Potomac in our rear.
At daylight this morning the cavalry force
of General Pleesanton, with four pieces OF ar
tlery, crossed the new pontoon bridge at
Berlin, eight miles east of Harper's Ferry,
and proceeded direct to Lovetlsvlle, in Lon
don County.
At LovettsTlle our cavalry entered abont
s o'clock in the morning, and the few Rebel
pickets stationed there aed before them in the
direction of Leesburg. The people of this
loyal town, especially the ladies, received our
troops with great enthusiasm, and the Stars
and Stripes were thrown out in all parts OF
the town. Many of their fugitive husbands
and sons returned with the cavalry, end the
demonstration was most earnest aud unmista
kable
Without stopping except to leave p;ckets
snd a guard, Gen. PleasGnton moved on in
the direction of Waterford, expecting to reach
Leesbnrg early in the afternoon. There was,
at .ast accounts, small lOTce Vi Feoei lulaut'
~ and cavalry st Leesburg, and there may
possibly have been o fight there, unless they
retreGted On hearing of his approach.
Shortly after the cavalry aoyance had cross
ed, General Burnside, with his Second Army
Corps commenced crossing ct the same point,
and during the whole day the brigade wGs
constantly under the tread of the advancing
column They proceeded in light marching
order, though al immense train OF wagons
was waiting to follow them.
1t was the intention of General Burnside
to rest for the nigh. at LovettSgie and move
forward on Monday morting, in what drec-
ton was not known The troops were il
fine spirits, notwithstanding the bad weather,
and cheered most LASTLY as they reached the
Virginia shore.
The troops ca Boli7er Heights are also ma
der marching orders, end it is thought will be
in motion tomorrow. 1t is reported that the
enemy have already retired from our front,

of these gentlemen we believe, took frequent
opportunity to give personal assurances of his
friendship for Mr. WnMoT. The issue of the
election has not left an opportunity to test
those professions of friendship, nor allow the
full development of the plans which controlled
the late detection here, but the unprejudiced
voters of the County must by this time be sat-
isfied that no good results we're intended nor
could come, either to Republican men or mea-
