Mr.. A. H. Wood of Laurel, Indiana, writes
to a friend in this city private letter, from
which we are permitted to make an extract.
Mr.. Wood, though a native of Grafton, in
this county, has resided in Indiana twenty -one
years. lie says:
''Our elections proved disastrous to the
cause of the Union-caused chiefly by the
absence in the army of so many republicans,
as fully three fourthS of our volunteers from
this state and Ohio are republicans. The
democrats made no secret of their intentions
In this state they formed in procession and
went to the polls, marching to the music of
bands, shouting 'IIurrah for jeff Davis !"
The western democrats have formed a plan,
which they are secretly working at, which is
to take the northwestern states, with Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey, over to the southern
contederacy, leaving what they call the Yam
KEGS to the north. Thus, you see, New Eng
land and New York, and perhaps Michigan,
would be the only free states, for the south

At the annual meeting Of the Massachusetts
Baptist state convention, composed of the
pastors and delegates of the Baptist church,
throughout the state, the following resolu-
tons, drawn up by Rev. j. Banvard, of this
city, were adopted, with but one dissenting
vote -
l. Resolved that in the present terrible ma
uonal crisis in which we are involved by the
unreasonable and wicked insurrection Of dis
loyal men, in the interest of a stupendous
system of oppression, we hail with pleasure
the proclamation Of the president of the United
States IN favor of emancipation, and the laws
OF congress in harmony Herewith, as favora-
bic indications of divine Providence, and as
important instrumentalities for the suppress
sion of the rebellion.
=. Resolved, that in the fearful and wide
spread conflict now raging in our land we re-
gard the interests of civil and religious liberty
throughout the world for future ages as deeplv
involved, and therefore regard it as the solemn
duty of every man to sustain the government
| to the full extent Of his ability.
3. Resolved, that for the speedy and COM
plete suppression of the rebellion, we deem it
cminently important that the loyal portion of
the nation, holding in allegiance all minor is
sues, should remain united, and present an
unhroken front against the insurgents, and
should therefore put forth all their energies to
prevent any division Of the people in the loyal
states which shall weaken their support of the
president in the execution of his avowed pol
icy.
l. 4. Resolved, that whilst we mourn over our
individual and national sins, and acknowledge
the justice of Almighty God in the severe af-
Fiction which has hetallen us, we also recog-
nize his Divine sovereignty, that as the race
is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong,
so deliverance from our present trouble can
be effected only through his mighty and be-
nehcent agency, for which it becomes us to
offer earnest and perseyering prayer.
! o. Resolved, that copy of these resolu-
tons, signed by the president and secretary
OF the convention, be forwarded to the presi-
dent Of the United States, as expressive of
our approval of his policy in the prosecution
OF the war, and as a pledge of our sympathy,
prayers and cooperation with him in his ar
duous efforts to restore the Union, and bring
back to us national peace and prosperity.

The steamer Herald arrived here on Thurs
day last The Herald has made several sue
cessful trips to Charleston, but on one &C.
casion had very narrow escape of being cap
tured by the United States ship Adiron-
dack when nearly into the harbor of Nassau,
\. p, that vessel having fired broadside at
her when close under her guns, but without do
ing any material damage. The Herald did not
meet with either admiral Wilkes or his fleet
on her passage from Charleston.
This steamer Herald, which has made so
many successful trips to Charleston by run
ming the blockade, is the same vessel that the
Nassau papers so boldly and impudently
claimed as a British vessel at the time she
was fired into by the Adirondack, alluded to
above. 1t IS the same steamer that was sold
from the port of Dublin in February last for
the rebel service, and so promptly reported to
our government by our faithful and energetic
consul at Dublin. We hope that her next
trip may not be so successful, and that admi-
raj Wilkes may have the pleasure of forming
an acquaintance with CoXctter, her command
er. The neutral Bcrmudians persstently use
the British flag in the service of the rebels,
and also uphold such secessionists as Coxetter
in SO using it. We trust that our naval Off
| GERS will make it their business to capture
| this steamer Herald as soon as possible 1t is
reported that her cargo just received at Ber-
muda consisted Of six hundred bales of cotton

There never was a more important issue
raised in this country than that involved in the
present election. Therefore let every friend
Of president Lincoln's administration, every
man who means to support his purpose to
crush the rebellion swiftly and completely,
come out to-day and vote for the republican
candidates By voting with the party that
means opposition to the president, you
would support political influences that can
have no other effect than to cmbar-
rass the president, lengthen the war,
and ruin the country. BY not voting at
all you would neglect a duty that is imper-
atiye on every man in this republic who has
vote to give, and that, too, at a time when our
free institutions, and the republic itself, are
menaced with destruction. Let no loyal man
fail to vote to-day; and vote early, so as to
have time to attend to whatever other work
other circumstances may require.

ADVANCE IN THE PAPER MARkET.-Witb-
in the week past the paper trade has been
characterized by very sudden, and TO some
extent unlocked for rise in the price of stock,
Manufacturers anticipating that the upward
tendency will continue for some time. even
until 1t reaches fifty per cent, are taking no
new orders from dealers, but hold on to the
present stock, hoping to throw it into the mar
ket by and by, when the increase in its price
shall have attained its extreme ascendancy.
The increase in the price, as it stands at
present, is about 25 or 80 per cent, and as
the market is not surfeited with sufficient ma
terlal to enable dealers to respond promptly
to the demands Of consumers for a very long
period, it is anticipated that some embarrass
ment will be felt by the last named class, who
are directly interested in the use of paper.
Paper Is almost as necessary an article for
common use as clothing, and newspapers
must be published-if not on white paper, on
that which is nearest that color which the
market can afford.
For long time past the confederates have
suffered from the lack of good white paper on
which to print their journals, many of which,
Tor months past, have been printed on paper
OF the dingest hue. 1t is to be hoped that the
types of our presses north will not meet with
similar eXperience.-Nev York Commercial
Adre1tiSer.

PATRIOTISM OF THE THEATERs.-Edwin
Booth III his present engagement in New York
has found his audience especially quick to APP
plaud those expressions and sentiments which
could be made to refer to passing events.
Thus the theater rung with plaudits at the de-
livery of the following passages from '.Bru-
tuS:"
Brutus-We try the crime; the motive heaven
will judge.
My honor he hath stabbed pardon that.
lie hath done mOre-he hath BETRAYED his cou1ltrv
That is crime .ohich euery honest heart
That beats for Freedom, eury Roman feels,
And meJ"H stream Of justice must hare lcay.
Brutus-They will, my Titus:
Nor heaY'n, nor earth, can have it otherwise.
1t seems as ii thy fate were preordained
To fix the reeling spirits of the people,
And settle the loose liberty OF Rome
Ills fixed; OH therefore let not fancy cheat thee;
So fix thy death, that It's not in the power
Or mortal man to thee from the AK.
Iltus-The aX!-Oh Heayen-Then must fall
basely?
What, shall perish like common felon?
Brutus-How else 10 traitors suffer?
In ''Hamlet" also, one passage excited tire
mendous cheering. When Hamlet asks the
clown why the prince was sent to England,
the clown replies;
Why because he mad; he shall recover his
wits there; or if he do not, it's no great matter
there
Hamlet-Why?
Clown-rwill not be seen in him; there the men are
as mad oSRs.

WHIcH SIDE SHALL l HELP Judge Par
sons, in an appeal to the voters Of the 4th dis
tyict to support Mr.. Hooper for congress, asks
the following pertinent questions -
Sat this hour constitutional government and
rebellion have met i'll death struggle. Both
cannot come out Of IL alive. WHICH SHALL
DIE? Only the supreme ruler Of events can
answer this question. But there is another
question which the hour asks Of every one of
Us, and which every one Of us may and must
answer, and will answer on Tuesday. 1t is,
WHICH SIDE SHALL HELP?"
There are two organized parties arrayed
against each other-the party of the admins
uation and the party Of the opposition. Here
is what president Lincoln said Of the success
es Of the latter in the October elections -
Il confess that am grieyed at the results of
these elections. This intelligence will go to
Europe; il will be construed there as con-
Amnaton of the war; it will 60 into the land
OF the rebellion, and will encourage the lead
ing rebels and nerve the arms of the rebel
soldiers fighting our men in the field. 1t is
true, many Of those men elected profess to be
war democrats; but the resolutions Of their
conventions, the tone of their leading presses,
and their general action will be construed eve
rywhere against the cause Of our country"

There will be a large vote, to-day; but the
republicans should do whatever they can
properly do to make it as large as possible.
Make it Il personal duty to bring out every
man who will vote the republican ticket. Do

The PRoCLAMATIoN.-The National Intel
lgencer Of Friday morning, in an editorial,
says that if ION the LIST Of January next, Mr..
Lincoln conceiyes that he can better subdue
the rebellion by receding from his proclama-
ton than by enforcing it, the colored race,
according to his own theory Of his official and
military duty, has no right to freedom which
he Is bound to respect" Some of the presi-
dents friends profess to believe that the proc
lamatlon will never be practically carried into
elect, and many admirers of the secretary of
state are OF this opinion. These views are
represented by the National Intelligencer.

The New York Election.

All the signs indicate that James s. Wads-
worth, the brave and true Union candidate for
governor of New York, will be elected by not
less than $4,000 majority. The New York
Times Of yesterday says Within the last
ten days the Union cause has mBde rapid and
immense progress in every section of the

for Wadsworth by from $1,000 to $4,000 ma

days longer, this could easily be made 50,-
