D6T Marion county, in 1860, gave
Henry s. Lane 1864 votes to 1891 for
Hendricks. This year she gives 4, $40
votes for Peele to g, 500 for Athon While
the Union party fails to poll as many
votes as did the Republican party in
1860 by 20, the Democracy succeed in
polling AZ votes more than they did in
1860. Not content, however, with this
result, notice has been served upon the
Union county officers elect, by their But
ternut competitors, that their claims to
the positions to which the people have
elected them by an average majority of
about 1000, will be contested. ="
Now let us glance at another county.
Allen county gave in 1860, 2,S45, for
Hendricks, and 2,4S7 votes for Lane.
This year the same county gives Athon
3,S43, votes to ], 800 for Peelle. We hear
no complaint from Butternuts on &C
count of this unprecedented vote. Be-
cause the frauds in that county resulted
in the defeat of Union candidate for
Congress. putting in his place miser-
able doughface, secession sympathizer.

Of the capital, and II was, therefore, resolved

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE Potomac,

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE TOTOMAC,
December 10, 1s62--morning, 10 o'clock.
After occupying the river front of the city of
Fredericksburg, last night, we lost about one
hundred men In killed and wounded. While
driving the rebels through the city, they fired
upon our men, as they advanced through the
streets. The rebels were secreted In or behind
houses. Not much mercy was shown to those
who were caught.
This morning dense fog hid everything
from view, but now II Is gradually passing away.
The troops commenced moving at an early
hour Summers grand division leading the way
over in front Of the city, to be followed by
Hooker's grand division.
Gen. Franklin's grand division, at a point
nearly three miles below the city, is nearly over.
At quarter past nine O'Clock this morning
the first gun was fired. The firing continued
for about half an hour, the rebels not making
q very spirited reply. t|
1t Is thought that all of our troops will be
over by noon. .,r
Information received during last night and
this morning, from deserters and prisoners,
show that the rebels have two strong lines OF
batteries in the rear of the cityS the first being
q mile back, and the second one a mile from
the first. .. .l... sans ....
The whole army is In rapid motion, and well
concentrated. The troops are In excellent
spirits, and anxious to be led upon the enemy's
works.
The rebels have concentrated their forces,
and, Ii 10 believed, will give battle. Much will
depend upon the result Of to-day.
All of our troops are sanguine OF success.
Daily national Republican., 1862-12-13
LATrsT rROM THE FRONT.

1t win be seen by our dispatches, received at
a late hour, that our forces are mainly Owe the
river, that the rebels have opened their guns on
the city, filed with our troops, hut thst no
great damage has been done except to the
buildings in Fredericksburg.
Our forces under General Burnside have ae-
complished an important movement No
achievement marks or distinguishes any cam
paign morethan this. That a large army has been
able to advance and cross a deep river, right in
face Of powerful enemy, is truly wonderful.
Thus far, success has perched upon our ban
ners. 1t remains to be seen what will be the
results of pitched battle. We think General
Burnside is equal to the work he has in hand.
He has achieved much, and all that courage,
bravery, and skin can do, he will do.
Success to our arms, is the earnest desire and
PRAYER of all loyal hearts.

expedition as follows
% "The point may be considered fully settled
that Gen, Banks is not to operate In the James
or York river against Richmond. He is proba-
by bound to Wilmington in North Carolina, to
Charleston in South Carolina, to Savannah in
Georgia, or 10 some point In East or West Flor
idai or to Mobile In Alabama, or to Galveston
In TeXas."
sodE PAPERS are discussing the necessity of
taking the Tax of newspapers. We think II a
good move, and we hope some member of Con-
gress will move in il.
BRIO. CIV. RIPLEY, Chief of Ordnance, has
written letter TO the Secretary of War, recon-
mending the establishment OF an armory at
Newark, n. j., and an arsenal at Weehawken,

probably be acted upon by Congress next week.

DEFINING THE LAW.

In an order issued from the headquarters of
the Department of the Missouri, on the 5th
instant, Gen. Curtis thus very precisely defines
what the law is in respect to negroes: .
If negroes belong to rebels, they are Free"
Gen. Curtis does not undertake 10 make law,
but 1t Is his duty, martial law having been pro-
claimed in Missouri, judicially TO declare what
the law is, and to see that it is executed.
II Is in the discharge of this duty, that he has
given the very clear and satisfactory decision
which we have quoted.
If all the tribunals In this country, civil and
military, could have been relied upon to give
honest and sensible judgments, 1t would not
have been necessary to trouble either Congress,
or the President, with questions of emancipa-
ton. Therebellion Of the master does undoubt-
ediy, toso tdcto, and without any other proceed
ings, emancipate his slaves. The master, being
himself in revolt against the laws, cannot be
aided by them in enforcing authority over
others. There never would have been anv diff
Guilty or controversy on this point, if the nation
had not been bemuddled by long course of
training, into the belief that there was a pecu.
liar and mysterious ssnctity about negro
slavery.
It will be seen Gen. Curtis reaches the sam,
result In Missouri which Gen. Fremont did
only by a different method. Gen. Curtis doe
not emancipste anybody. He merely declares
as an Interpretation of existing law, that "i
negroes belong TO rebels, they are free"

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAc,
Friday evening, Dec. l2.
AT ten O'Clock this morning the fog began to
clear away; but before eleven the air was again
thick, which continued until two, when 1t dis
appeared. At quarter past two the rebels
opened all their guns posted on the first ridge
of hills. Their main fire was then directed up
on the city, which was filed with our troops.
Those guns which were posted on the left of
the ridge were opened on the large body Of
troops which crossed on the two lower bridges
and had formed in line ofbattle and were NOV
ing obliquely down the river, fronting the Mas
saponax.
Although several OF their shells exploded over
our troops, none were injured.
Gen. Bayard's cavalry, which crossed on the
lower bridge, had five men killed while en-
deavoring to ascertain the enemy's position.
The troops which crossed below are sleeping
on their arms tonight the advance being with

creek In force. ...... ~

half an hour occurred. This ended the firing
for the day. .gr...
The only damage done by the rebel shells
thrown into the city was to add 30 much more
TO its destruction. Twenty-Five of our men
were killed last night In the streets of the city
while driving the rebels out. Nearly every
house In the city has been damaged more or less
by the firing of the past two days. Several
splendid residence have been completely riddled
as also all the churches. The fire appeared to
be directed on the most prominent edifces.
Several cases of wanton destruction of pro-
perry occurred by our troops when they first
entered; property which could be Of no use to
the enemy.
In many houses the furniture all remained,
showing that their occupants left In haste.
Some of our troops mistook the British flag
for secesh, and tore 1t from the residence OF
the British consul. This morning the owner
came over to recover 1t, and the same was re-
The main body Of the army is now over the

There is no indication of the enemy eyacuat-
