The 9th Wisconsin volunteers Of the
Army Of the Potomac, cast four hundred
and fifteen votes for the Union ticket of
their State, and only one for the OpPosi-
tion.
The first snow Of the season fell to day.
It was very slight and Of short duration.
A government officer here in high posi-
ton received pencil note from Union
prisoner in Richmond, to-day, saying that
the rebel authorities had at length alto
gsther stepped the very small meat ration
heretofore allowed TO our starving SOL
diers in their prisons. Their excuse is
that they are unable 10 furnish their own
soldiers with meat.
One hundred and twenty-five officers are
among tho rebel prisoners just brought
from the front. These men represent that
but four Of their companies retreated across
the river, and that their General commsnd-
| ing had barely time to escape on his horse.
They seem 10 unite in regarding the move
ment on our part, as having been one Of
/ the most brilliant and successful Of the
war.
Intelligence has been received here
dated Clarksburg, Virginia, that Generals
Averill and Duhe, commanding separate
forces, after several severe engagements
on Friday and Saturday last, succeeded in
driving the enemy under MudWall Jack
son, several miles down the valley, east Of
| Green BTiar mountains, into and through
the town Of Lswisburg, in Western Yir-
ginia.
After the first battle on Friday, fought
by General Duhe, the enemy was reinforc-

routed on Saturday under the combined
force of Dufe and AVerill.
The rout was 80 complete that the enemy
abandoned all their supplies guns, colOrs,
Sc, and fed in dismsy, leaving their dead
and wounded on the field.
Our men behaved spleudidiy and the
victory was one Of toe most brilliRpk Of the
war.
The number killed and wounded on our
side is not stated.
We hold Lewisburg.

Aid Of General fitzpatrick arrived from
the front late Saturday, and reported that

The bridge consisted of only i've boats
and those were the sams which we're aban
