EE Curtin's majority in Pennsyl-
vania is now ascertained TO be about
$4,000, which is four to five thousand
ahead of the State ticket. The legis-
laturc is, however, in n curious mud
die. The lower house is tic, whilo
the Senate has ono Republican major
ity; but then one Of the Republican
Senators from the western portion of
the State, Major White, Is a prisoner
in Richmond, and likely to remain
there, owing TO the deadlock in tho
matter of exchanges. Hence (says tho
n. Y. World) neither party will DO
able to control the Legislature, and a
c)mpromiso must be effected in the
organization. The fruits of victory
ia Pennsylvania, therefore, arc lost to
tho Republicans, as they cannot con-
troll the Legislative measures Of the
session. This occasions much cha
grin TO the Republican executive, and
Governor Curtin is reported to have
said that Major White must be OK
changed If it cost dozen rebel Gene
rails to effect it.

Slavery docs not now exist in any
of the rebel States. On the first Of
January 1863, slavery in every one OF
the States and parts of States then in
rebellion against the Federal govern
ment, died. The proclamation of
President Lincoln, the Commander-in-
Chief of the army and navy of the
United States, was its death warrant.
1t persisted at the hands of the war
power. -Sagind,c ValIcg Republican.
in the above paragraph the writer
ae-.e:.,I7- l..~s s.ttaiIcu the summit OF
grandiloquent nonsense. To assume
that by virtue of q paper proclamation,
the author of which declared it would
necessarily DO "iuopcrativc, as the
Popo's VI againstthe comet" slavery
is wiped out of the rebel States, falls
short even Of the dignity of bombast
Slavery can only bedestroyed by force
Of arms, and i'll the train Of its destruc-
ton, if that were possible, comes a
load of misery to the slaves themselves
and debt to the nation which will in
time crush out the patriotism and OK
haust the resources of the people,
A years experience has fully demon
stratod the correctness Of President
Lincoln's early views in regard to the
emancipation scheme, and the utter
futility Of the proclamation business as
n means of crushing the rebellion.

The WAR FROM \ SCIENTIFIC STAND
PoINr-A chap, busily engaged in
reading the dispatches relating to Ro-
secrans' movements, suddenly threw
down the paper, arose 20 his feet, and
striking an oratical attitude, delivered
himself something after the following
style: 81 tell you what it is, if the OBJ
jective of Rosocrans' campaign hasn't
been damaged, why then Rosccrans
campaign is success. No matter if
Mr.. Rosecrans and his entire army is
smashed to flinders, if the objective
portion of the campaign isn't damaged
to any alarming extent: Iropcat-the
campaign, as whoe is a factoring snc-
cess. Rosecrans, when lac started out,
made Chattanooga tho objective of
his campaign-ihat town was the OBJ
jective. He then marches on and
commences looking around for the
enemy. He meets that enemy, and
the latter, after a sharp and decisive
argument of few days duration,
finally prevails upon Mr.. Rosecrans to
retire TO Chattanooga. BY the way,
Mr.. Rosecrans, in the hurry of return,
forgets a considerable portion of his
cannon, but no matter about that
He gets backs TO Chattanooga in a
highly "blown" condition, but as he
possesses his objective, the campaign,
as wholc---or what is left of its a
success. The counterscarp of an army
may be in highly demoralized condi-
ton, the bastions of the right faux
may bear so heavily upon the bomb
proofs of the contre as to cause the
left flank to vote for Gcn. Jackson, and
thereby cause the rear guard TO swing
around upon a pivot and change its

Mr.. Lincoln's last story is about his
early farm experiences, from which he
draws q lesson of political wisdom
He had once to plow with lazy old
horse, named Davy:

assistant, to the best of his ability, with
a two-handed hickory, kept old Davy

Is 1T SUPERSTITION "A bridge
broke down at Terre Haute few days
since, drowning u number of persons.
The Terro Haute Express says:
"One incident connected with the
recovery of the bodies is worthy of
moro general publicity. All had been
found with the exception Of that OF q
Miss Thrall, and theapproachingnight
was about to compel the search to be
abandoned, when some one suggested
that by placing quicksilver in a loaf OF
bread and putting it in the water, it
would stop directly over the body
Accordingly, a loaf was procured and
two ounces of quicksilver placed in it,
then taken about fifty feet above the
bridge and thrown into the water. II
floated down in the current, which is
quite strong at that place, when, sud
denly, it stopped, and circling around
was, apparently, about to sink, when
gentleman in boat caught it, and
graphing hooks being put down, the
body was found directly beneath, in
from eight to ten feet of water. We
had read Of this mode some years
since, but supposing it one of the
many superstitions, had almost forgot
ten it. What the philosophy is W.

ton received from the Governor Gen
eral of Canada there is reason to be-
lieve that plot is on foot by persons
hostile to the United States, who have
found an asylum in Canada to invade
the United States and destroy the city
of Buffalo that they propose to take
possession of some Of the Steamers ON
Lake Erie, to surprise Johnson's Is
land, liberate the prisoners OF war
confined there and to proceed with
them to attack Buffalo.
The Government will employ all the
means in its power to suppress any
hostile attack from Canada, but as
other towns and cities on the shores OF
the lakes areexposed to thesame danger
it is deemed proper to communicate
this information to you i'll order that
any precautions which the circumstan-
ccs Of the case permit, may be taken
The Governor General suggests that
steamboats, should be watched, and
that any steamer or other vessel giving
cause for suspicion by the number OF
character of the persons on board, be
overhauled. You will please acknowl
edge the receipt of this telegram ant

More than forty times the entire

pable of bearing arms. In noticing
these frighttul figures, the Journal Of
Commerce remarks:
Such figures IA these tell terrific
story Of suffering and bloodshed, to
say nothing of the miseros entailed
on families throughout the land. Nor
are these dead and disabled men mere
units in tho human race whose place
can be filled by importations from
abroad, or by other means. There
were among them many representa-
tives of the highest types of social en-
lightment; men Of cultivated intellect,
and who were skilled MS altizans, pro-
fessional men, and otherwise valuable
members of society.
Probably never before was there as
semblod on the battle field such an
aggregate of worth, whether measur-
ed according to the standard of intel
lectual de> elopmcnt of productive ca
pacity as we now see gathered for con-
ilict in the United. States. Such a

a battle fighting on the southern bank
of tho Rappahannock, but it was of
but little Importance. 1t is not inn
probable that great battle will be
fought within day or two, and has
perhaps been fought to-day. All de-
ponds on General lee. If he will
stand for battle it is pretty certain to
occur. General Meade started out
this time bent on decisive conflict
with the enemy. He was urged to it
by the President, Secretary Stanton
and General Halleck, and was not at
all averse, especially under such cir
cumslances. The army is in excellent
trim. In numbers il must be superior
to tho enemy by at least 10000 and
perhaps 10000. There is no reason
to fear defeat, and there are many

WAsHNGToN, Nov. 10.

Our army occupied Culrcppcr to-
Iqftu'h nrr- 4tal ,forrr- -fel!Srsev bsasl' .t',
any indications of accepting battle
Most of the intelligence is Of con-
traband nature, relative TO military af-
fairs, though everything is progressing
well. There is no truth in the report
that we have occupied Fredericksburg.
The tenor of information brought in
by dcserters and refugees as 10 alarm
in the South, and especially in Rich
mond, in consequence Of the food fam
inc, is infinitely beyond what tho Rich
mond papers venture to divulgc. Peo-
pie there ask if this is the condition OF
things Immediately at the end of har-
vest, what will it be through winter,
and up TO the distant period when an
other crop can be raised? They say
now that if they have TO succunlb TO
the North it will be from famine and
not by force of arms.
Most of tho officers captured on
Saturday, and who are in the Old Cap
itol, declare their willingness to take
the oath Of allegiance, and confirm
the very worst stories nf oppraaching
famine in the South. A lettcr dated
November 4th, received here Saturday
from an officer of the United States
army, prisoner in Libbie prison, at
Richmond, says there is no prospect
now of any exchange, although we
number some $4,000, one thousand of
which number arc commissioned Off
GERS.
1t is learned from late numbers of
the Raleigh Standard, which have
come to han that the rebels are con-
structing railroad communication be-
tween Danville, Va, and Greensboro,
NO. Ii seems that about fifteen
miles Of road had been completed, and
that cars are expecting to run through
a distance Of about forty-five miles, by
New Years, or at farthest by spring.
Thisis highly interesting fact, as il
opens now line of communication
between Richmond and the Southwest,
over the North Carolina Central Rail
road.
