The New Oregon Senator.

The Union Legislature of Oregon
have repudiated the traitor Stark
known among his neighbors as Band
Box Ben"-who misrepresented the
loyal people of that State during the
last session of Congress. The election
took place on the 18th of September,
and resulted i'm the choice of Ben amin
Harding, of Marion county, who is, we
believe, classed as Republican. His
principal competitor among the Union
men was, o. Jacobs, Esq, editor of a
Republican. paper published at Jack
sonville, who is one of most talented
and promising young men in the State.
The contest between them was very
close, Mr.. Jacobs at one time, receivin,.
within two votes of the number re-
quired to elect.
This gain in Oregon will make up
tor the loss We are likely to sustain in
Indiana III consequence of the recent
success of the Bright ticket.

An Inciuent of Virginia Life.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3d.-The Times
has the following: "a short time
since Mr.. Carpenter, of AnqumOy dis.
trict, Charles comfy, sent one day into
Virginia to persuade his son, volun-
teer in the rebel army to return home.
While absent, his farm negroes. six in
number, attacked his house early one
morning with the design of numbering
the family.
They retired, however, at the per-
suasion of gun aimed at the crowd
from window by Mrs. Carpenter.
These facts becoming known, the
neigbbors assembled with the intention
of hanging all the negroes on the farm
but through the circumstances of their
master they were finally let off with
thirty-nine laShes on the bare back.
These events occurred within sight
of our guDbOats on the Potomac.

A BAT1LeINc1DENT.-On the.secon,

A BATTLE INCIDENT.-On the,,second
day of the battle of Corintb, Mrs. Will
son and her daughter, who resided in
a cottage just behind Battery Richard
son, discovered that they were in about
as hot place as could he found, fed
from their dwelling and dropped down
into thirty foot well, the storm of
iron and lead whizzing harmlessly
above them. But in the midst of the
battle horse, which fled frantically
over the field, attempted to leap across
the mouth of the well, bnt struck the
windlass, and his hind quarters fell into
the ori6ce. The poor women expec-
ted to be crushed. The horse strug.
gled furiously with his fore feet, and
the woman awaited their fate i'm horror.
AT last, however, the horse by desper-
ate efforts extricated himself, and they
were saved. -

The result Of the election in New
York is still in doobt. Seymour's ma.
j"rity is reduced to 5000 by returns
received in new York City up to last
evening. The chances seem to be
about even.
WIsCoNsIN.-The Republicans have
elected three, and the Democrats
two OF the members of Con.
gress from Wisconsin. The I'd
district is yet to be heard from, in
which Amasa Cobb is the Republican
and p. b. Simpson the Democratic
candidates. The Republicans have

Senator.

THE STATE.

The returns come in quite slowly
from the State, but enough has been
received to show, that, notwithstanding
the general falling off from the Repub-
lican vote of two years ago, caused by
the large number of Republicans who
have gone to the war, that we have
carried the State by a good round ma
between 5 200 and
1000. Judging from the returns, we
should say that we have certainly Sc
cured FIVE of our Congressman. From
the Sixth district we hear nothing al
this writing. The Legislature will be
more largely Democratic than usual.
but will have large working Republi-
can majority, if the returns so far re-
ceived indicate the general result.

The Rattle of Perryyille.

The official report of General A. D.
McCook, of the battle of Perryville,
made public about week since, is a
very interesting document. Its revela-
tions are astounding, and unfortunate
ay its charges are too well sustained to
be capable of refutation. The princi
pal fact, laid before the people with
startling distinctness, is that thirteen
thousand men of his command were
left for FIVE hours to carry on a combat
against the whole rebel army, without
the least support, while the entire corps
of Gen. Gilbert, entirely fresh, lay
within rifle shot of the field, and was
repeatedly sent for. AT one time. in
deed, the enemy broke McCook's right
and pushed into such position, that
if Gilbert's troops had been properly
used, the rebel advance must have
been crushed to pieces. Instead, the
rebels were allowed TO press on, and
the result was the terrible slaughter of
our brave boys. The simiIitude be-
tween MeCook's situation and that of
Hooker at Williamsburg cannot fail to
be noticed. The day is not far distant,
when the responsibility of these crimes
will fasten itself with burning weight
upon the guilty parties.-Adv. Dc Trio.

PENNSYLVANIA.

Contrary to general belief, we find
that the Union party in Pennsylvania
stands better on it's Congressional than
OH its State vote. We carry the State
on Congress 10y 1921 ma jointly, though
the opposition figures out about $3.50
majority on the State ticket. True,
We have fallen uff in our Congress vote
from the heavy poll OF 1850; but SO
have the opposition we lose by far
the most, chiefly in men gone to the
war but they lose 1875, in spite of
their boast of immense gains. They
lose even more heavily than last year
then they gave Foster 22O, 257 for gov.

| now propose to the Government,

CAssAPoLIs, Mich, Oct. 3lst, '62.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN, Dear Sir:
Wishing to set myself right among my
friends at Dowagiac, in regard to .
charge contained in the CassaPolis
Democrat, of this week, take the lib
erty OF addressing you and stating the
facts.
Mr.. L. D. Smith, in the paper above
mentioned, conveys the impression,
that it was upon my recommendation
that the sheriff, Mr.. b. w. Schermer-
horn, tied man that was in his custo.
dy, to the cell door who at the time
was laboring under delirium tremens.
The facts are these:
The first knew that there was such
a man in Jail, Mr.. Schermerhorn came
into our store to buy arope, as he said,
to tie him. In the presence of MIR.
Woolworth, of our village, | made the
remark to Mr.. Schermerhorn that
would not tie him, but would advise
quieting him with opiates.
Mr.. Schermerhorn went away with
out the rope, and | went into the Jail
aud left the man two or three doses of
morphine to be taken at intervals of an
hour, if he did not become quiet.
saw nothing more of him till the next
morning, when Mr.. Scermerhorn came
to my house and wanted me to hasten
to the Jail for he said he was afraid
that the man was dead.
/ did hurry to the jai, and when
there found the man dead and his
hands and face cold and stiff, and
then learned for the first time that the
man had been tied to the door and left
alone portion of the night.
! distinctly deny having advised his
tying, as has been reported, because il
is not any where practiced with such
patients, they being considered as in a
degree insane, and not responsible or
criminal in what they do.
Very Respectfully,
A. GARwooD..
The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1862-11-06

We have already taken occasion to
allude to the bare faced impudences
with which the various tory presses
throughout the country have paraded
the results in the Oct"ber election, as
grea, Democratic gains. A more COM
plete falsehood was never trumped up
as an eIectioneering dodge. The vote
IN each State has fallen off greatly, aud
the Republican majorities exactly in
proportion To the number of volunteers
they have sent forth. The principal
fact demonstrated is the pre- eminent
loyalty of the Republican party.
The following table will show the re-
suit in Ohio 1862, as compared with
that of 1860:
Republican vote in go, 231,610
Republican vote in '62, H5,z5O
Falling short. $3.50
Democratic vote in so, 1929
Democratic vote in 'S2, loO.5S6
Falling short, " 1905
From the above figures, it will be
seen, that instead of a Democratic gain,
there il Democratic loss of about 49,
600, due to the loyal Democrats, who +.
have gone to the wars, aud a Republic
can loss OF ab"nt 56,O0o dne To the
same cause. Thus. the Dem"craiic
victories are not the effect on the
conversion of Republfeans to the Drm-
ocratic faith, bnt are due the grand pat
rintism, manifested by the men npon
whom secession sympathlzers at the
North have heaped every slnr and re-
proach, that lntamy could devise or
treason invent.
Pennsylvania returns afford better
illustration OF this fact. The following
is comparative tabular statement:

r The grand armies

sB The grand armies of the Union
are now moving with resistless force
against the enemy. Gen. Mcclellan
reports the important capture of Snick-
er's Gap aud the repulse of The rebels
who attempted TO retake. Gen. Grant
is probably in possession of Grand
Junction, and is marching rapidly
against Price and Van Dorm at Holly

be expected at any moment. Gen.

ing vigorously into the heart of rebel
