To have been small steamer, approached our

after some firing. The rebels greatly dread
the lronSides, and it is said the people of
Charleston have offered $50, 900 IN gold for
her destruction.
Gen. Gilmore and Admiral Dahlgren have
both paid visit TO Port Royal. While there
Gen. Gilmore visited the flag ship with band
and serenaded the admiral. This incident
shows how little truth there is in the story of
i'll feeling between these two distinguished of.
fl ,ers. They are, and always have been, in
hourly intercourse by signals. There has
been the usual firing during the past week,
principally by the rebel batteries. Gen. Gill
more occasionally replies to the James Island
batteries, or throws shell into fort Sumter.
The signs are encouraging for 4 renewal of
active operations.
The New South says cit will be noticed,
as a most singular coincidence, that one of

A GALLANT REBUKE.-A highly instructive
as well as amusing incident took place in one
Of the business houses on one of our principal
streets, last Saturday, while the colored regi.
ment was marching along to the music of the
national airs. Several gentlemen were look
ing on the parade, among them a very wealthy
planter of Alabama, who is a large Slavehold-
er. One of the group stepped out to the
door, looking on tor a few minutes, and then
Indignantly turning on his heel, addressed
himself to the grave Albanian, to the follow
ing purport;-
''Well, I'll be id if that is not burning
disgrace, which no decent white man eau toll
crate. Isn't that Niger regiment too great
an INSULT"
The Albanian jumped to his feet, and re-
piled, while his eye flashed fire
''Sir, there is not a negro in that regiment
who is not better man than rebel to this
government, and for whom have not a thou
sand times more respect than have for trail
tor to his country. | think the best possible
use the government can make of negroes is to
take them and make them fight against the
rebels. No traitor is too good to be killed by
negro, no weapon too severe to use against
the wretches who are endeavoring to over
throw the government. Now, sir, swallow
that whether you like tor not"
The rebel darted off in utter amazement,
without uttering a syllable Of reply, leaving
the sturdy Alabamian, who cherished the lew ell
of patriotism as something more precious
than focks of slaves, ''alone in his glory."-

THURSDAY, oCTO EER is. 1868.


The state elections that have just laken
place in Pennsylvania and Ohio, are among
the most important that ever occurred in this
country. 1t was felt, everywhere, that the
result would substantially settle the issue be-
tween the government and the copperheads;
and, very naturally, loyal supporters of the
government, all over the country watched
the canvass and waited for the vote with the
deepest solicitude. The election OF Vallan-
digham would have been Il rebel triumph. So
the matter was understood at Richmond; so
it would have been treated in Europe: and
every one can see that it would have been
most disastrous occurrence to the government.
These elections have been held, and the
allies of the rebel conspirators are terribly de-
feated. Vallandigham is politically annihi-
lated Instead of being permitted to serve
JEFF Davis and his associates as governor of
Ohio, he sees the people of that great state
confirm the judgment that banished him from
loyal states, and branded him as an enemy of
the country, whose disloyal behavior could not
be tolerated. The majority against him will
not fall much short of 100000. When
he was nominated he felt sure of being elect
ed; and his disciples boosted, less than week
since, that he was sure Of forty thousand ma
jority. They could not see that anybody
would act on higher principles than their own.
Will it now be possible for them to see more
clearly?
And there is not much less reason tp rejoice
over the result in Pennsylvania, where Gov
ernor Curtin is reelected by over twenty
thousand majority. Many believed the result
doubtful in Pennsylvania, but the friends of
the government did their whole duty and
were confident of success; and they have won
itbravely. All honor to them!

Changes on the Rnppahannock,

There have been important changes in the
position of the army of the Potomac during
the past few days, the meaning of which is not
yet fully understood. 1t is known that the
army has withdrawn to this side of the Rap
pahannock, some twenty miles nearer Wash
ington, after two or three days of sharp Skin
mshing, in which our cavalry sustained no in
considerable loss The circumstances have
given rise to wild and conflicting rumors, and
some approximations as to the safety of the ma.
tional forces. The result thus far reyeals no
good cause for alarm. All accounts agree
that Gen. Meade moved his troops in
consequence of recently discovered de-
signs of the enemy, from a place which
might not have been tenable, and that in the
' execution of this movement his cavalry were
several times engaged with the rebels-aI-
ways with success. These operations have
suddenly divided the attention which was be.
fire concentrated ON the interesting, if not
critical, situation of Gen. Rosecrans at Chat
tauooga. 1t is probable, however, that rebel
movements in Virginia are more intimately
been generally supposed. Here, too, equally
conflicting rumors current - none of
them entirely satisfactory. If Gen. Lee
supposed that Gen. Meade's command had
been depleted for the purpose of reinforcing
Rosecrans, it would not have been strange
that he should make Il bold demonstration
with the hope of bringing on general and
successful engagement. 1t is, however,
quite as easy, at this distance, to suppose that
his pretended advance was a false movement,
intended to occupy the attention of our army,
while he sent portions of his command to
the assistance Of General Bragg The
greater Importance of that field gives
plausibility to the theory that all avail
able rebel strength is to be concentra-
ted around the brave army of Rosecrans
where the rebels hope to complete the work
begun at Chickamauga before winter. All
doubt in relation to the movements on both
sides will be speedily settled In the mean
time, there is no ground for immediate ankle
ty in regard to either field of operations, in
both of which there are still large and disci-
plined armies, under skiful and earnest lead
ers, who have not yet learned the meaning OF
defeat

BRAvADo REBUKEp,---The nomination of
Vallandigham for governor of Ohio was
bravado of the first water. 1t was the first
direct insult offered by any organized body
of men in the loyal states to the government,
the army and all loyal people. From the be-
ginning OF the war he had been of northern
men, in public life, the most notorious of
those who apologized for the rebellion and
resisted every measure adopted for its sup
preston. The unbushing manner in
which he threw all his personal and of
fetal influence against the government at
length provoked its just resentment, and its
protection was Withdrawn from him. To at
tempt, under such circumstances, to place
him at the head of great state like Ohio was
an attempt to rank the state in open
hostility to the government, and to in
augurate civil war at home. FOtunate-
ly, the attempt failed-signally, diastrously
failed. The party which practiced this auda-
cious effontery, and the influences which pat
ronized and encouraged it, may in the re-
suit of the election how unsafe it is to trfle
with a cause for which infinitely better and
Drawer men are daily offering up their lives.

The ARMY VoTE.-If Vallandgham were
compelled to rely on the Ohio soldiers for
support, his prospects would be Exceeding
small" Such voting as they gave is unexam-
pied in political history. One would suppose,
from the proniscuous way in which all regi-
ments are made up that at least decent Mi
norty would favor any candidate, however
false he might be, ii lis party vouched for him.
But Vallandigham, in spite Of the false gloss
with which his supporters strOve to cover his
disloyalty, could find scarcely one in hun
dred base enough to be counted on his side
Fortunately the army vote was not needed to
condemn him the home vote was sufficient for
practical purposes. But, as an evidence of
the incorruptibility of the army on the great
questions before the country, the figures are
most gratifying and Triumphant.

OPERATIONS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Rebels Try to Blow Up the New
IrOmSides.


| BALTIMORE, Oct. l4.-The correspondent
of the American writes from Charleston har-
CHARLESTON HARBoR, Oct. 10.-On Mon
day night last daring but unsuccessful at
| tempt was made by the rebels to destroy the
trigate New Ironsdes, lying near fort Moul-
trle, by IL torpedo. They employed for this
purpose small and very swift steamer, cigar
shaped, and showing but very small portion
| above the water. She was manned by a crew
OF four persons, consisting of Lieut.. Glassett,
who was the commander of the party, an en-
gineer named Scott, and pilot whose name
Is unknown at present writing. This steamer
! eluded the picket boats Of our fleet by press
| ing close in the shore of Sullivan's Island.
She then made directly across the river, and
| came mp to the IrOnsdes without attracting any
attention. She struck the vessel amidshlp
exploding torpedo containing sixty pounds
| OF rifle powder, at the moment OF contact.
The rebel steamer was undoubtedly sunk,
either by the force of the collision or by our
shot. Lieut.. Gassett jumped overheard and
swan to schooner. He and the fireman,
Scott are now prisoners on board the guard
| snip. Lieut.. Gassett was formerly III our
navy. He says that the explosion OF the tor
| pedo drove the steamer under so that the water
ran into her smoke stack and put out her
hres. The torpedo was suspended at the
bows Of the rebel vessel 50 as to strike the
lronsides under water. The explosion was
| severely felt on the Ironsdes, but no material
damage was done to her hull. Engineer
Armament and one man had their legs broken
and one of the bulkheads of the vessel was
Knocked down,-an injury which can be re-
paired here.
The Ironsides was Immediately prepared for
action by Capt. Rowan, and she is now AS et-
tective for offensive operations as ever. She
is now regarded here as torpedo proof. She
opened fire with musketry on the rebel vessel,
and IN lew minutes fired two of her larger
guns. A musket shot fired from the rebel
steamer dangerously wounded ensign Charles
/ Howard of the Ironsides, who was officer of
the deck at the time. The bottom of the Iron
sides has been examined by divers, and found
to be wholly uninjured The rebel engineer
Toombs, formerly of our navy, and the pilot
OF the rebel steamer are supposed to have been
drowned. On Tuesday night it was supposed
