CoRpovA ELECTION


We are informed that the parsons in Cor
doya, or portion Of them, on Sunday before
ell ection, instead of paying any attention to
the souls of their congregations, joined Satan :
side, and preached and prayed against the
new constitution. The vote shows Cordoya,
under the lead of the parsons, to be almost
to in favor of settling the town with ne
groes. Who would have thought that the
good old town of Cordoya could be led by alb
clifton parsons to do SO foul n thing?
Too LATE.-On Tuesday OF last week, after

ly with our next issue, and Of course but few
OF our papers will be distributed, it will be Of
no avail to publish it in that.--Aledo Record,

placed III the post Office in this city on Friday
evening. The mail leaves here for Aledo Sat

THE INVASION OF prARy1ANn.
When the Rebels Crossed the River.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Up. M.-Last Thurs
day night the rebels commenced to cross with
cavalry, at or near the mouth of the Monoca-
cy' They brought over two regiments of cav
airy and threw over pontoon bridge and
crossed with artillery, which encamped on
Rogers farm and threw out p1ckets towards
Poolesville. On Friday, about IL o'clock, a
column commenced to cross of infantry and
artillery. They were crossing:in three places
besides the bridge, the water being up to a
mans waist. No resistance was offered to
their crossing. Some cavalry who were
watching them, were attacked and chased to
Poolesville. There the houses were closed.
and the streets were blockaded by the citi-
zens. Farmers fired upon our flying cavalry
as they passed the cornfields.
About dusk Gen. Lee rode into Poolesville
at the head Of four regiments of infantry, and
guided by farmer who has been professedy
Union man, and has his pockets filled with
our gold. Their infantry went off to the left
toward Frederick. The rebel generals, Rob
ert Lee, Hill, Stuart, and Fitzhugh Lee, are
with the men. They march in solid column
They have few or no shoes, and no knapsacks.
Their wagon trains were crossing on Saturday
and Sunday morning. Gen. Lee offered to
bet a hundred dollars to one that he would be
IN Washington in week. The farmers are
bringing IN hay and provisions of all kinds
and giving them away. There is not a loyal
man, with one or two exceptions, there.
AS soon as Poolesville was invested, our
pickets communicated with the troops in the
rear, who, being numerically weak, retired.
Some fifteen or twenty soldiers of the first
Maryland regiment are missing, supposed to
have been captured. Our force at Pooes-
vile consisted Of that infantry regiment, the
first Massachusetts cavalry, and detatch-
ment Of the twelfth Pennsylvania cavalry.
From this point the rebels proceeded to
Darnestown, nine miles from Poolesyille.
AT this place branch of the military tele-
graph had been established, communicating
with the war department. The operator was
fortunately warned of his danger in time to
tear the recording instrument from the table,
cut the wire and escape. The raid ceased at
Darnestown, the rebels probably fearing an
attack in force from our troops, already NOV
ing to Illustrate this audacious enterprise.
Frederick, Md, was meanwhile, approached
by the rebels under Gen. Hill, the first Mary
land rebel regiment, under Col. Bradley +.
johnson, a native of Frederick, being the
first to enter the place. Rumors are not
wanting that another force of rebels had

A WORD OF PRoMIsE.-It is hoped and be-
leved to be henceforward the policy of the
government, to 'attack, pursue, and destroy"
the enemy, in the spirit of the famous general
order issued last winter. The people need
have no fear if we are rightly informed that
their armies will again go into winter quar-
tiers and remain inactive for months. 1t is
intended that they shall pursue the agrees
sive, and not rest until they shall have driven
the foe not only out of Maryland but out of
Richmond also. If the officers in command
inspire the troops with confidence and hope
if they convince them by their activity that
they mean to carry out the wishes of the war
department and the general.in.chef there
need be no apprehensions of the result If
our soldiers are well led and fight not as they
did week ago, but as they did at Cedar
Mountain, at Newbern, at Williamsburg. and

COLONIZATION OF SEcEssIA.- Hon. Eli
Thayer is said to have urged upon the gov
ernment with hopes of success, the adoption
of plan for the colonization of the revolted
states, as war measure. Mr.. Thayer's pro-
ject is to throw northern and foreign emigra-
ton into the insuuectionary districts of the
gulf states, armed and under the auspices of
government, in such formidable bodies as to
defy guerrillas. He wishes to make the mi
hal experiment in Florida; the more inviting
portions Of that state to be taken forcible DOS
session of and held by the invading loyalists,
Mr. Thayer says, who are to be enlisted for
six months only. There are eleven millions
of unappropriated lands in Florida, beside
what can be taken under the law authorizing
the sale of real estate for the non-payment of
taxes. Mr.. Thayer's friends are asking his
appointment as brigadier general, to enable
him more successfully to carry out the idea.
