A Misstatsme nt. Corrected
LFrom lhe New York Ttlbune.I

The Democratic organs have wearied the
general ear ever since the Ohio election
with clan,orous rejoicing over the assump.
tion that the voice OF the people in the Loyal
States had condemned the Administration;
and when Seymour was elected in New
York, their boastings were so vocifcrous and
positive thstit was generally taken for grant
cd that they were right. We knew the
fallaoy of their claims, but chose TO observe
silence until the figures of the official can.
vassers should demonstrate the actual truth,
Such figures are now at hand. That the
Democratic journals will print them we can.
not hope; they havo exhausted themselves
in reproducing in dozen forms the state
ment thatin the Home vote for Congress in
Wisconsin there Is Democratic majority o.
6.000--a majofity Ehicb will doubtless bs
swept off by ths votos Of the gallant soldiers
Of that,State unless the Democratic doctrine
that the man who fights for his country i,
not 81 to yoto for. it, shall prevail. II any
Of these journals, however, can find room
for the following table of official majoritie,
in tho Loyal States which have held cleo
tions this year, We are certain that then
renders will be thaAkful for the information
II they will print the figures as they are,
we shall not Object to any attempts they
make, in the way Of comments, to break
tho forCe of thQ sinlple statement.

The Late Gen. Bayard.


The death Of the gallant Gen. George d.
Bayard in the battle at Fredricksburgh, was
peculiarly affecting, as he was to have been
married in few days. i'
He was native of New York, and was
appointed cadet to the West Point Mill
tary Academy in 1852. He graduated on
the Both of June, 1856, and on the lst Of
July, 1856, was appointed a second lieuten
ant of the First United States. Cavalry. -
On the 10Th of August, 1861, he was pro-
NOTED to captaincyin his regiment, now
known as the Fourth United States Caval
ry He was allowed leave Of absence to
take the command Of the eFirst Pcnnsylya-
MIA cavalry, and in GeneM Orders No. 63,
Washington, juno 10, he IS announced as a
brigadier general Of volunteers, comman.
ding cavalry. He made several brilliant
cavalry dashes both before and since his
appointment as general, and being but a
young man, gave promise Of great military
ability in the future. General Bsyard was
wounded in the face bya poisoned arrow
BY Indians on the frontiors, fsom the effects
Of which he had never recovered, and which
his physicians predicted would ultimately
cause bis death. He often expressed dc.
termination never to dio from that cause II
he could die in the battles of his country

Al Man Burned to Death.

On the night Of the Sd inst, the dwelling
house of Mr.. David Taylor, of Jackson
township, was entirely consumed by fire,
and sad to relate, Mr. I. perished in the
flames. We have been able to obtain but
few particulare of this sad case, but from
what information we have, it appears that
the deceased has been living q dissipated
life oflate; that on the evening in question,
he was seen returning to his home, by some
of his neighbors, but there boing nothing
unusual in his appearance, no attention was
paid to him, aud nothing further was
thought Of tho matter until the light Of the
burning building attracted the attention oi
tho surrounding country. Alargs number
OF persons were soon upon the ground, but
the flames had made such rapid progress
that nothing could be done for the unfortu'
nate inmate Of the burning dwelling. Oul
Informant tells us that oil that remained u
Mr.. I. after tho destruction Of the build
ing, was few oharred bones aud q portion
OF the lungs and heart, which were carefully
gathered together and decently inferred. =

Growth OF the Emancipation Move
ment in Maryland.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 16.
The "Old War Horse" as Ex Governor
Hicks is fainiliarly styled, has got upon the
right track at last. The war has opened
his eyes. In the presence Of number Of
gentlemen he recently declared that, she
was now convinced there never would be
any peace for this country until Slavery was
abolished throughout the land, and to this
end he supported President Lacoln's proc
lama.ion and Plan of compensated emanci
patton heart and hand. nv -.
The declaration was published in the
Cambridge (Dorset) Intelligencer, and tht
Tx Governor has stood up to it like man.
] do not profess to give the precise words
but they convey the substance OF the decla'
ration. "i"t
This definition Of his position will insure
his election to Congress from the First Dis
trict, for there is no withstanding his pop
ularity when on the right side. ! believe
have already written you that nearly all the
principal citizens of Dorset are in favor o.
emancipation, and the good work is rapidly
spreading. The friends Of emancipation
now consider two districts as certain to re-
turn emancipationists-- Holiday Hicks and
Winter Davis--and We do not despair o
carrying the other three districtsin the sam,
cause.
