EAST SAGINAW, MICHIGAN NOVEMBER A, 1862.
The Election.

The result in this State, though not
as favorable as we had hoped, is more
SO than we had expected. Radi-
caldism, though not defeated, is re-
buakcd in a meanner which cannot
fail to have salutary effect upon its
advocates. Their arrogant and in
tolerant partizan spirit fails to meet
that sympathy among the people
which they expected, and henceforth,
however extreme their views, they
will be urged more in accordance
with, the rules of dccency and manly
controversy.
In this country the Union Ticket is
elected with the exception of Rep
resentative in the Sd District, Sheriff,
and perhaps Circuit Court Commits
sioner, by majorities of from fifty to
three hundred. Two years ago the re-
publican majority in the county was
between two and three hundred.
In Bay County the entire union
Ticket is elected by from $50 to 200
majority. In this Senatorial district
we arc inclined to think the chances
are in favor of the election of Jerome,
republican.
OF the result in the State and else
where we give the following cheer
ing summary from the Free Press OF
Nov. G:
The returns from the elections
could scarcely come in more favor
ably from all quarters. In this city,
county and State large gains have
been made. If Blair be elected at
ali, it is by meagre majority. The
Legislature is close, and is just as
likely TO be conservative rs republi-
can. Baldwin is elected to Congress
without doubt, and the fgurcs last
night made Penniman, in the First,
fully equal to Bcaman. OF county
and minor officers the Unionists have
made big sweep. - h7saa
New York has elected Seymour
Governor by a good majority, besides
a majority Of democratic Congress
men in her delegation. Just so il
has been in Illinois, where the dem
ocrats have elected good majority
Of tho Congressional nominees. In
Wisconsin two democrats have been
elected to Congress, and Legisla-
ture that will overthrow Doolittlc for
the Senate and place conservative
in his stead. New Jersey has done
well, clecting a Governor, a majority
OF her Congressman, and a Lcg1sla-
ture who will secure the elccti on OF
democrat to the Senate.

of the pilot of the latter, she dropped out
of the way and the blow intended for her
hit the rebel boat Gen. Price, taking away
his Wheel making it necessary for her to
run ashore where she sent shot, which
unfortunately for the rebels, struch their
boat, the Gen. Lowell, rendering her un-
manageable Immediately after she was
run down by the Queen of the West. A
broadside from Benton took effect in the
sides of the jeff. Thompson, when she
ran ashore and soon after was in flames
and burned to the waters edge. Four of
the rebel boats having now been disabled
the remainder of their feet retreated down
the river, pursued by our boats firing as
they advanced, resulting in the capturing
of the Sumter, Bragg and Little Rebel,
which had been abandoned by most of
their crews Captain Montgomery, the
flag officer, with most of the officers, and
men succeeded in making their escape in
the woods on the Arkansas shore.
The Federal ram Lancaster was struck
by the Beauregard early in the engage
ment, and slightly disabled. Col. Ellet
in command of the Federal rams, was
struck in the breast by splinter and
stunned temporarily, but soon recovered
and continued on deck throughout the
engagement This is the only casualty
on our side Our rams were manned by
sharpshooters mostly from Illinois, who
did good execution in picking off the reb-
Ell gunners at every opportunity.
The encmy's loss in killed and wound
ed and prisoners, is heavy but not yet
fully ascertained. Our tugs are busily
engaged picking up the crews of the dis
abled boats.
The 43d and 10th Indiana regiments
now occupy the place. Col. Fitch is in
command. The city is quiet, No dem
onstration whatever have been made. 1t
is even asserted that it will not be neces-
sary to declare martial law. Five of our
gunboats now lie abreast of the city. We
captured five large steamers which were
moored at the lcvce. The rebels burned
a new gunboat which was nearly ready to
launch.

Battle on The Mississippi River.
MEMPHIS SURRENDERED.

The regular packet, Platte Valley, the
first boat through from Memphis, arrived
this morning. Our forces are in possess
ion of Memphis The hotilla, consisting
of five gunboats and eight rams left Fort
Wright at o'clock Thursday morning.
Finding no distractions at Fort Randolph,
the fotilla passed on, and at s o'clock on
Thursday evening the gunboats anchored
2 miles above Memphis. The rams re.
manned short distance above A recon-
onisance was then made. The rebel feet
consisting of the following vessels: the
Gen. Van Dorm, Flag ship, Gen. Bragg,
Gen. Lowell, Jeff Thompson, Beauregard,
Little Rebel and Sumter, were discovered
lying near Memphis. During the night
the rebel feet moved down the river, and
at daylight were seen coming up in line
of battle. Our gupboats had in the mean
time weighed anchor, and followed by
several rams, moved slowly towards the
rebel feet, when shot from the Little
Rebel, from rihed gun, at long range,
fell within short distance of the Cairo,
which was in the advance. The Cairo re-
piled with a broad side, and soon the en-
gagement became general at long range.
The rams had in the mean time advanced
and the rebel ram Beauregard being in
the advance, was singled out by the fed
eral rams Monarch and Queen of the West,
each striving to be first to strike the reb-
Ell craft. The Monarch succeed in
striking her amidships, almost cutting
her in two, causing her to gil and sink
Immediately in the channel, directly OPP
posite the city. At this juncture, the
Little rebel made dash at the Monarch
which by this time was in the midst Of
the rebel feet, but by a skillful movement
