FRIDAY, NOvEMBER =, 1862.
ELECTION RETURNS.

By last nights mail we received mcagre
returns Of the elections of last Tuesday.
New York has probably gone Democratic
The Tribune comedies Seymours election
New York city gave the Seymour ticket 81, :
600 majority, and elected the two Woods,
Fernando and Ben, to Congress. There are
come hopes entertained that the country may
have rolled up majorities enough to elect
Wadsworth, but it is extremely doubtful
1t is a shame that the noble Empire State
should elect men to Office who are bold and
open opponents Of the Administration men
who will do all they can to embarrass the
Government, and strengthen the rebellion.
Oh, for the votes Of the loyal sons of New
York in the Grand Amy of the Union
Would that they could have fought treason
at home, as well as abroad. But day of
reckoning will surely come, and then woe to
those base and heartlcss tories who sport
with the fate Of an imperilled nation; whs
would make partisan capital out of the ruins
Of the Republic.
New Jersey is Democratic all over, electng
everything from the Governor down to the
Notwithstanding one Member Of Con.
gress. The Legislature has U. S. Senator
elect.
Massachusetts, is all right. Andrews ma
,rity for Governor is over 10000, and both
Houses of the Legislature are strongly Re-
publican.
The news from Michigan is favorable to the
election Of the whole Republican ticket by
handsome majority. It is thought that all
the Congressman (six) are Republicans.
In Wisconsin the result is doubtful. John
F. Potter is probably returned to Congress
notwiths aiding Milwaukee gave 4, 700 major
iy against him. Tn, Democrats have elected
two Congressman, and perhaps more. The
Democrats have gained largely in some parts
# the State. ..a
The returns from Illinois indicate the tri.
umph Of the Republican Union ticket, tho
as the Journal says, sufficient returns have
not been received from the strong Democrat
ic counties to make it sure thing. Arnold,
in the Chicago District is reelected by about
1900 majority. Lovejsy, Farnsworth, Wash.
burnc and Norton, all Republicans, appear
to be elected.
From Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas and
Delaware VIC have nothing definite.

THE KENTUCKY SITUATION,
THE WHEREABOUTS OF BRAGG AND HIS rNTEN
TIoNs.


THE WHEREABOUTS OF BRAGG AND MS NrEx
1 T1oNs.
! From the Louisville journal, sist ult.1
4 No one here has seemed to know where
General Bragg, when he left Kentucky, in.
tended going. There have been various spec
ulations and conjecsures in regard to his in.
tcntions, expressed more or less confidential.
ly. dispatch from the East says: therl
u no doubt he Is Fastening to the relief of Lee.
Certainly it seems probable enough that he
may actually be doing this. And the proba.
bility seems we'll calculated to create some
anxiety. II Bragg and Breckenridge, who
must before now have Joined each other choose
to abandon Tennessee for time, and, avail
ing themselves Of extensive railroad facilities.
unite their numerous forces to the vast army
of Lee in the Shenandoah Valley with view
to the tremendous battle which the nation re.
CARDS as about to take place there, even our
grand army Of the Potomac may find itself
fully matched, especially as the enemy will
have the immense advantage Of strongly
fortified position. We must of course r,ly
upon our military authorities to discover and
thwart the designs of the rebel commanders,
and we are confident that the reliance will be
well placed /; but indeed it would be worse
than deep modification, it might be most
terrible national disaster, if the rebel gener-
ais should succeed in massng the whole
strength Of their Confsderacy for decisive
conflict with single army of ours between
Washington and Richmond, leaving our ire
mendous forces in Kentucky, Tennessee, Al
ALBANIA, and Mississippi, with nothing to do
unable to strike blow because unable to find
anything to strike.
OF course we know that Bragg with his
great host will strike speedily somewhere,
for we know that he cannot afford to wait.
and that the confederate authorities, stung
probably by his inability to hold Kentucky,
would not tolerate him in waiting. If the
Shenandoah Valley is his chosen theatre. we
shall no doubt know the fact soon, and. in
that case it may be expedient in General Nc.
Clellan, instead of attacking the enemy as it
is now expected he will, to act upon the de.
fensvc until reinforced by "A portion of the
magnificent army Of the Ohio But if Lee
be not Joined by Bragg, we NAV presume
that the conflict between the former and Nc
Clellan will ere long take place. The whole
OF McClcllan's forces at the last dates were in
full motion indicates coming fight. Still,
VIC do not look for Mcclellan to attack imme.
diately, even if Lee shall not be reinforced
by Bragg. 1t would probably be bad gener-
alship for him to prscipitate his forces upon
a powerful line Of fortifcations defended BY
hundred thousand veterans. 1t would, no
doubt, DO safer and wiser to make gradual
advance under cover of counter. Notifications.
1t is useless to publish mere spcculations.
when we have more facts than we can posi-
bly publish. But Heaven save us from being
eut-gcneraled We have had too much Of
that already.

Snow IN ruE MoUNrAlxs.-Gen. Bragg
rebel army encountered serious difficulties in
its retreat from Kentucky. Not less than ten
inches of snow had fallen in the mountain
region, and his poorly clad and poorly shod
troops were during their forced march ex-
posed to all the rigors of winter campaign.
The sufferings OF the rebel troops are said
to have been terrible and much sickness en-.

and exposure to the Indictment weather.

IOWA AND OHIO,

In the recent election Iowa gained five
Congressman, and Ohio lost i've. The loss
in the latter named State is owing in the
main to the fact there were no provisions for
securing the vote Of the soldiery, but in one
instance, at least, we are compelled to believe
that the Republican candidate was defeated
through the very reprehensible course pur-
sued by two influential papers of the District.
We refer to the Cincinnati District where
that wise and patriotic representative, Hon.
John A. Gurlcy. failed Of a reelection. The
cause of his defeat was the vindictive bitter
ness with which he was opposed by the Com.
nsercial, and the luke-warm support he re-
ceived at the hands of the Times. The for
mer journal though heretofore classed as Re-
publican, now occupies that doubtful ground
not long since assumed by its New York pro
totype, the World, which perhaps cannot be
better explained than by the term quasi. Un-
ion. The Times is patriotic paper, and the
reason for its giving the feeble support it did
to the nominee Of its own party, we cannot
explain, but suppose it must have resulted
from personal pique, or blindness to the
result Of tho contest that does not speak we'll
forit political foresight. Both the Commercial
and Times arc influential sheets, and had
they giver Mr.. Gurley the hearty support
he had right to expect from them, the small
majority by which he was defeated would
have been overcome, and true and tried
representative returned to the seat he has SC
worthily filled. The Gazette, which is the
ablest paper in Cincinnati, gave Mr.. Gurley
an earnest ard unqualified support, and had
the other journals named but initiated it.

been different in that Congressional District

The PROCLAMATION IN ENGLAND.-We
have news Of the arrival in England Of the
Emancipation Proclamation. From the tone
Of the British papers it is a surprise which
entirely disconcerts the arrangements and
expectations Of the bitter enemies of republi-
canism and of the integrity Of the Union.
The London Times, the leading organ Of the
sympathlzers with the rebels, is greatly dis
turbed by it and chimes with the opposition
on this side in declaring that the North
must conquer every square mile Of the South
before it can make the proclamation Of more
effect than mere waste paper" This shows
the same ridiculous idiotcy as the rebel sym
pathizers here affect. But this proclamation
makes a strange commo.lon among these rcb-
Ell gentry and their friends here and across
the water, for piece Of ''mcre waste paper"

CLEVER Feat OF A YANKEE SClooLxAsrER.
"A lIiltoa Head correspondent tells the
following story of schoolmaster belonging
in Maine, who made his escape last week
from the rebel army and from Savannah,
Georgia, in the following manner:
Corporal McFaddsn, Of the 47th Georgia
Volunteers, is the author of very neat pro-
cseding. He not only deserted the reb
cause, but brought in two men from his own
regiment as prisoners, and gave them up to
Col. Barton, at Fort Pulaski. Obtaining
permission to 60 short distance down the
river from Savannah, and securing the detail
Of couple Of soldiers to serve as oarsmen,
he got their rifles under his feet, and, with q
loaded revolver at their heads, persuaded
them, however much it may have been
against their will, to row him to Pulaski.
There he arrived OH Sunday night last, and
waited in his boat, guarding his captiyes,
till morning. They own to having taken a
good many lessons from Yankee schoolmas-
tiers in their day; bu: this one, they assert,
will last them longest Of all. McFadden,
