RuMoRED EVACUATION OF CoRINTH.-We
doubt whether full reliance can be placed upon
the news of the evacuation of Corinth A
heavy reconnaissance was made toward that
place on Thursday BY our troops, and a rebel
camp surprised at Pea Ridge within six miles of
Corinth and the rcbels were driven back with loss
Fifty-nine prisoners were taken. A. NJ. Ste
venson, Of Illinois, who accompanied this recon
noissance, heard the constant rattle Of cars and
screaming of steam whistle towards Memphis,
which led to the belief that tho rebels were
leaving for the latter place But whether the
news is true or not, now, t will be shortly.
The rebels must leave without fighting, on fight
and tc defeated, and then leave as they can.
rhelr doom is sealed. We believe, whatever tao
tics they may see fit pursoe. Gen. llaleck is
said TO be pushiag his wbo!e army VIGOROUSLY for
ward.

The Ranegales Rewarded.

One of the most pleasing and instructive re-
suits of the election is the sisnu defeat of the
reneg.les, Rowe, Ross, Chatham AMI Busby,
who, elected to the legislature us ''Union DEM
ocrats' in 1851, joined the Abolitons;s on the
organization of the House, voted with them on
all test questions obeyed Forney's inunctions,
aped his arguments against distinctive Demo-
cratic organization, accepted, this year, the
nomination Ross for Surveyor General, the
others for the legislature-of the Abolitionists,
tried the issue at the ballot-box, and were de-
foatcd by the people, who, disgusted with their
apostacy rewarded them rs they deserved
The lesson will not be fruitless. With the stamp
of apostacy upon their foreheads, we shall see
these traitors, hencelorth, sink lower in the es-
tmaion of honorable men of all parties. Thus
cody pushed aside by one party and despisod
by the othea, they will share the fate of their
leader Forney, and become if not wanderers,
at least political vagabonds upon the face of the
earth, stunned and abhorrcd by all who have
not fallen as low as thcmselvcs-a ''mark for
scorn to point his slow, unmovihg finger at
a warning to all who seek position only to be-
tray confidence, and barter principle for re-
ward. They have ''died as the fool dieth."-
So perish all who initiate their eXample.-CHn-
ton Democrat

LATER FROM PORT ROYAL.
The Union Attack ON the Charleston and
Savannah Rail Road.
DESTRUCTION OF THE BRIDGE BY THE
REBELS.

New York, Oct. 29.-The steamer Erricson,
from Port Royal. brings the following ,ntelli-
gencc of recent operations in the vicinity Of
Charleston and Savannah.
Our forces under Gen. Brannan and Ferry
the former in command, Ian led at Mackey',
Point MARCHED seven miles before meeting the
enemy. They drove them from their position
in the woods, ahd followed them up again, and
again drove them from their position two miles
beyond. After a hot fight here they were pur-
sued to Pocotaligo Bridge, which the rebels de-
stroyed behind them.
Further progress being impossible our forces
retreated to the gunboats. The fight lasted five
hours. Gen. Brannan thinks the enemy's force
equalled ours, and their artillery was four or
five pieces more.
Our loss was IS killed, LOG wounded and 9
missing.
While these events were in progress, Col. Bar
| ton, of the 48th New York Regiment, with $50
men, went up the Coosawatchie river and ac-
tually comm need destroying the Railroad, but
were unable to reach the bridge before train
filled with troops arrived from Savannah. The
telegraph wire was also cut, and successful
retreat was made to the boats, only one man be-
ing wounded.
The rebels left Is or 90 dead on the field.
In the former fight, two caissons full of am.
munition were captured and usei by our forces
| The loss to the Union troops Is larger than
above stated, the figures given being only the loss
of Gen. Ferry's brigade Gen. Brannon's com
y mand lost 78 k llcd, % wounded and 8 missing

President Lincoln's Black Colony.

e3-'FHE colony of negroes that President Lin
coin is about to establish somewhere outside of
the United States at the peoples expense, is
likely to prove n costly affair unler the super
intentlence he has selected. TIe has confined the
experiment to the hands of Senator Poncroy,
of Kansas, and II, w. Thompson, of Indiana
men in whose wisdom the people generally
have little confidence, and in whose honesty they
have none. The Albany Ecening Journal, a Re-
publican paper under the control of Thurlow
Weed, a warm personal and political friend OF
the President, seems to regard the scheme with
something more than suspicion, and sounds the
alarm in very ambiguous language. The Jour-
nal says:
''rhis swintte is proceeding under the auspi-
ces of r. Thompson, of Indiana, and Senator
Pomeroy, OF Kansas. 1t behooves President
Lincoln, of whose integrity there is no ones.
tion, to loo! well into this scheme before com
mtting himself to it. There Is nothing but dis
honesty IN the scheme, any acay; but if cooniza-
tion should become expcdient, this surely is not
the time to 60 into it. The government has
quite enough upon its hands. Mr. Thompson's
connection with the project is enough to stamp
its character and purpose"
The President having, himself, inaugurated
this ''dishonest scheme" will probably not pay
much attention to the advice of his friend Weed;
indeed, we do not see how he can, having once
pledged himself to it; 80 that it is more than
likely Messrs. Pomaroy and Thompson will
make gool thing out Of it, whether the ne
grJes do or not.

If they are determined to defeat by fraud the

If they are determined to defeat by fraud the
legally expressed will of the people, there ,ciA be
rseolutioa. The sovereign people of Pennsyl-
vania have resolved that if the Constitution and
the laws, are not or cannotbe enforced by the
properly constituted authorities, they themselves
will enforce them and punish the traitors and
outlaws. Long enougl, have .freemen calmly
suffered themselves to be made the victims of
fraud and trickery. Long enough has the cor
ruption of dishonest legislators held swayi in the
public councils The balot-box must be main
tanned inyioate the halls Of legislation must be
purified; and wo to the men who dare to prac-
tice fraud upon tho one or who misrepresent
their constituents in the other. Fairness and
lawfulness in elections, and fidelity to public
trust on the part of legislators, are two points
in the economy of politics which must and will
be re-established The people have made up
their minds in regard to these things, and if they
cannot have them peacefully, they will have
them as their fathers once obtained them, when
they marched to Harrisburg in the Buckshot
War.

raise the price of subscription and advertising.
The reasons are fully stated in the following
from the Baltimore SAM
''Printing materials of all kinds have very
materially advanced since the commencement of
the war. On some articles of prime necessity
to the printer, the advance is fully equal to

The election of Mr. Coffroth in the XvIth
district was one of the most signal and gratify-
ing victories won on the 18th of October by
irepressible Democracy. The State had been
foully gerrymandered by the Abolition majority
of the last Legislature, and Mr.. Coffroth's dis
trict was one that was carved out for the espe-
cial benefit of Mr.. MCPHERSON and his friends,
who never dreamed Of defeat until it was upon

view of these facts we notice that some of our
Northern contemporaries are about to raise the
price of their issues. The Brockport IN. W

Most of the large daily papers in western

The a5ove table will show the relative gains
made by our friends in the different districts of
the county, since 1860. When all have done
so well we do not feel like discriminating. But
what Democrat can help referring with pride to
the gain of 100 in old st. Clair, and the equal
ly large gains in proportion to the number of
votes polled in Harrison, Snake Spring and sew
eral other townships? The Democratic gain in
the county since 1860, is G07! Is this because
the Democrats have been called ''trators and
secessionists?"
