prima facie grounds Of capture, and that the

capture Is alleged, to press for the release of
the vessel and cargo with compensation, with
out delay, in the prize court; butt II legal ground

Hancock all Right-Eight Hundred
Democratic Majority.

We have the proud satisfaction Of announce
ing that the people Of old Hancock still cling
to the principles Of Democracy, who would pre-.
serve the Union as 1t was and the Consti tuition
90 it is. They have spoken with emphasis,
against the unWarranted assumptions Of power
BY the Administration, and the perveraion Of
the war. They ttill remain loyal 60 the Union
and the Conttltution, and regard the interests
Of white men as Of more Importance than the
negro. They have not met in secret conclave,
like conspirators, to swear allegiance to the
Government, but In the broad light of day have
mauiieetsd their devotion TO the Union, and
rendered their aid to the Adminlsiration 10 all
its constitutional actions.
The returns foot up Democratic majority
Of about eight hundred. In several townships
the Abolitionists displayed the "white fta her"
aud run no ticket; bus making allowance for
the number Of Abolition votes usually cast in
these townships, we have bona tids majority
of between elk and seven hund ed.

buso, August 90, 1S47, and the second that
of Captain, for Ell Molino del Rey, Septem-
Der 3, 1871. In the latter engagement he
was with the stOrming party, and received
a severe wound, which necessitated his
withdrawal from active service for awhile.
In the early part of 1854, he was detailed
for duty on the West Point Academic staff,
as Assistant Professor of Engineering, and
continued in that capacity until 1851, hav-
ing, in the mean time, risen by seniority,
ON duty with Major Anderson at Fort
Moultrie, and remained at that post in
charge OF small party, while the remain
DER OF the garrison removed to Fort Sum-
ter. His rank then was Captain of Engi-
neers, his commission in that grade being
dated July l, 1860, and his name being last
on the list of Captains in his corps.
After returning from Fort Sumter, Gen.
eral Foster was selected 10 superintend the
Notifications at Sandy Hook, under, the
general supervision of Colonel Delafield,
and continued at this most important work
until October, 1861, when he was appoint-
