On our first page will be found returns of
the state election as far as received. Three
fourths of the towns in the state give Gov.
Andrew not far from forty thousand majority,
which will be still further increased by the
votes of the remote towns yet to be heard
froma The executive council and the senate
are unanimously republican, and Of the two
hundred and forty members of the house
not more than twelve count them
selves with the opposition. There are
not twelve democratic representative DIS
tricts in Massachusetts,; some OF those
which have returned democratic members
being among the most reliable republican dis
tricts on the general ticket--the fourth WOr-
cester district, for example. Col Lee, who
would have been one of the most useful and
influential members of the legislature, if he
had been chosen, was defeated by IA consider
able detection from his own party, and dem
ocrat is elected in his stead. No doubt SINH
lar reasons would account for similar results
in the other exceptional districts.
Ii New York there is no doubt that the
Unionlsts have carried the state by from nj
teen to twenty-five thousand majority. The
struggle in his state was carried on with in
tense activity to the last moment; and in view
of the desperate means used by the opposition
to keep the administration in their hands, and
in view Of the vast majorties New York city
always has in reserve for the worst possible
cause that can be presented to them, the
friends OF the government have won graft
flying victory. The city alone keeps its bad
pre-eminence, but by IA greatly reduced ma
jority.
In New Jersey the Unionists have made
gains in both branches of the legislature;
but the democrats are still in a majority.
There are also encouraging gains on the gem
eral vote. but not large enough to bring the
state into line with all the rest.

The police made a descent on Saturday

GEN. MEADE's OPERATIONS.
He is peremptorilY Ordered to Fight.

New YORK, Nov, 4.-The Washington cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, writ
ing yesterday, says Reports were very
prevalent, last night, of lighting between gen
erals Meade and Lee, but they have received
no confirmation up to the present hour. 1t is
now positively asserted by those who have the
best means of knowing, that Meade has re-
ceived imperative orders to bring on battle
and in the event Off failure to do so, that ne
will be certainly Superseded. The orders are
said to have come from Halleck, and further,
that they are backed by the president. Up
to Yesterday however, it is known that there
were no preparations for Il forward movement
on the part of Meade, but on the contrary, OF
a defensive position. On Sunday and yester-
day, so far as could be discovered, the rebel
forces along the RappahannOck had been con-
sidrrably reduced, and any offensive designs
on their part we're in no direction visible

Distressing Condition of Union Pris-
OmerS,

WASHINGTON, Nov. Al. X. Dodge, in
behalf Of the Ohio Relief Association, visited
Annapolis to-day, and reports that OF the $50
invalid prisoners who arrived there Thurs
day, about 40 have died, while others appear
to be in dying condition. They all exhibit
trighttul signs Of general debility and disease,
the effects of exposure and privation Of the
comforts Of life. Not only were they nearly
stripped of their clothing when they arrived
at Richmond, but their money was taken
from them at the office of the rebel provost
marshal, with the promise that it should be
returned, and they know Of no instance in
which it was returned. Consequently they
were without means to purchase necessarieS.
Moreover, the Union officers, their fellow pris
Oners, were under constant surveillance, to
prevent their extending to these men the
smallest possible relief. They express the
greatest solicitude for the rescue OF the per-
ishing prisoners now on Belle Island. number

division of the army of the Potomac, died in
New Jersey on Saturday last, of consump-

in ability, having seen considerable servicein

was relieved from command after the hattie of

a stain upon his reputation, though he was
honorably discharged by court martial be-
fore being mustered out of the service-Col.

originated the famous ram fleet, also died re-
