Northfeld Election.

FRIEND WILLARD In answer to the inquiry
why il is that Mortified casts so large vote in
proportion to her enrolment, there are several
reasons. One is, that over three hundred OF her
young men were doing duty in the field, or we're
in the hospitals, or sleeping where they fell fight
ing for the Union. She has not gone abroad to
get substitutes to fight her battles for her, but the
Young America which you speak Of, have gone
themselves Another reason is, there we're about
seventy voters who returned with the nine months
men aud were here to vote at our election.
In some towns in the State, learn, many who
should have been enrolled in the second class
we're enrolled in the first, and also some who
ought not to have been enrolled anywhere. Some
who were enrolled were not alive at the time, and
had not been for months can't see what the
election hiss to do with the enrolment, or the en-.
rollment with the election. As to our Iown
Representative, he has been Democrat for years
or claims to be, and other towns in the county
have elected men who have been Democrats, al
ways acted with the Democratic party, and had
right SO to do, and suppose we have the same
right in Mortified Mortified, we claim, i, all
right on the national questions, as she has given
majority for +. E. Woodbridge for Congress,
the only test vote, and il we could have been
united on a candidate for Town Representative
be could have been elected AS it was, Geo. NJ.
Fisk received 230 votes out of COG cast at the
first ballot, being So less than he received at the
first ballot, and being 1852 votes less than was
cast at the first ballot. hope these reasons will
be satisfactory to all, and that Ncrthfeld election
may hereafter be all right II.

COMPLIMENT TO FEDERAL ARTlLLEkIsTs.-ln
an account of the siege Of Nicksburg, written by
an English officer in the rebel service who par
ticipated in the defense Of that great stronghold,
and published in the Eduburg Scotsman, the fol-
lowing praise is bestowed upon the Federal
gunnefs
The enemy, who had access to all the appli-
ances and improvements that science has invented
to carry on modern warfare, can boast first class
guns, the best Of ammunition, and magnificent ar
Iillerymen. Beside this, they have everything
they require in abundance, not to say profu,on.
Fer instance, whenever we dared to fire a shot
from, say a tgelve-pounder hositzer, the enemy
would concentrate upon il perhaps ten to fifteen
twenty-pounder Parrolt guns and would maintain
fire Of perhaps two TO three hours duration,
throwing several hundred shot md she'll into,
around, or over, the offending battery. They fred
with the utmost precision, and they had attained
such an excellent position, and such close prox'
unity, that their rifled projectiles flew in many
case. right through ten feet Of earth, TO strike
and burst on whatever might be in the work.
We had no resource but TO run the guns out OF
the work TO keep them from being disabled, and
reserve them to fire canister or grape in the event
of churge being made
The writer says that Gen. Grants first assault
upon the fortidoatons Of Vicksborg was directed
against the strongest point and the freshest
troops, When the siege began there were il
Vcksburg but ten percussion caps per man.

The LATE FRosr.--1he damage by the recent
frost n the Western States appears TO have been
considerable, yet not as great as at first reported
The Chicago TriIuns says
The late severe and untimely frost visited an
extensive section Of the country, stretching east
ward to Western New York, north to St Paul,
south to Central Tennessee, and as fat west as the
centre Of Iowa. Its heaviest raysgps seem to
have been in the middle portions OF Illinois and
limited sections Of Wisconsin. The damage in
Minnesota, Iowa, Kentucky, Tennessee and New
York is very light.
Conysrsing yesterday with gentleman promi-
nent in our city wholesale trade, with excellent
facilities for information from yarou, quarters Of
the northwest, he give Us the result Of his infor-
nation received from nearly one hundred points
10 this and adjoining States, that only about one
bali Of the entire breadth Of the corn crop was
visited at slI, and Of that touched less than ore
third ha, been destroyed
There is this to De noted The disaster, what
ever its extent, falls upon rapidly maturing pre-
parston for an immense crop Of the great staple
Of the northwest. The discount, whatever it
prove to bt, is drawn from the unusual breadth
Of territory in bearing, and it will so far fall short
OF producing scarcity, that the severest blight Of
the fiost after all, may come upon neauIious op-
orators for rise"
The Chicago Journal states that only on the
owlands vas the frost really killing in its effects
and even in some places where the corn had been
apparently killed, il turns out better on examin.
itiou, than was expected
The Milwaukee .Netcs says the frost 10 Wiscon.
sin was confined principally to the owlands. In
some places considerable damage was done to
corn, baokwheat, vines etc.
ln Indiana the da,nage is reported to be exten'
sive, one paper estimating the loss at two thirds
Of the various crops, but as in other States, ,hi'
is likely to be an exaggeration.

Gen. Frazer, with 1000 men and IA pieces of

. q tb ID
IN full possession of East Tennessee,-a great,
bloodess victory
The campaign was skilfully planned and en-
ergeticaly executed. Such was the rapidity of
our movements that the rebels, taken unawares,
fled before US without destroying property. At
Loudon they attempted to hold The bridge, but
the impetuosity OF the Second Tennessee regi-
ment broke themall to fragments. Three steam
boats, three locomotives, and large number Of
ars werecaptured there.
The whole march Of our army was q perfect
ovation, and our entree into Knoxville an event
long to be remembered. Thousands of people
OF every age lined the way, and their shouts and
tears were intermingled with martial music, and
joy regned supreme Gen. Burnsides address
to the soldiers and people assured them OF pro-
lection, and that while justice should DO dealt,
revenge had 20 part in the policy Of the Gov
ernment.
Gen. Carter also spoke in touching terms Of
the sulferings of the people Of Knoxville, and
praised their determination and courage.
A second dispatch Gays our right wing is
within easy reach Of Gen. Rosecrans' left. The
rebels regarded our expedition as raid until
the last moment. The march of $50 miles was
a hard one, but was conducted in good order
Our trains are all well up with their columns.

A Prophetic SrRAIN.-0ne Rev. Dr. Stiles
preached discourse at Richmond on jeff DAVIS
recent fast day, which said discourse has been
printed. The Reverend Doctor thus, among 9TH
er things, comforts his hearers:
"Why, let the North march out her millions
of men on the isi1, and array upon the right al
the veteran troops in England, France, Russia
and Austria and bring up the very gates o
hell in all their strength to compose the centre o
her grand invading army. What then ? Why
everything in God and from God assures us that
these Confederate States would hear voice from
heaven The battle is not yours, but m'ne
Stand We still and see the salvation OF the Lord.
| II they dared 10 advance one step righteous
and an angry God would fire of upon the alien'
terrible thunders that angels never heard, anC
shoot out upon them vengeiul fires and lishlnlng'
that cherubc vision never saw, and Hing dowr
upon them catsraots Of angry power that bel
herself never felt and, il necessary TO our delly
crance, shake the very earth from under thei
feet.
Such is the stuff with which rebel oIergymer
comfor, rebellion based upon slavery, aud nov
staggering to its downfall.

Mrs. Collamore, particularly, found there many
who remembered and appreciated her noble hus.

them Tor their kindness to herself and children.
There is much destitution and suffering among
