BEAUTIFUL SNOW.

BEAUTIFUL SNOW.
BY ANNIE.
Beautiful, raatiIery flashes Of snow,
Fluttering softly, silently down,
Covering the eartb's bare bosom brown
Tell me, Oh tell me 1 long know,
Are We feathers 50 fine and white,
Which Angels pluck from their shiBgin wings,
Sweet tokens OF peace; to US earthly things
Waiting them down, from their homes OF light?
Do they, the Angels, sigh to behold,
This fearful, terrible warfare cease,
And over each valley and hill sweet Peace
Sit smiling, as nthe days Of old'
And the sword and spear in quiet rust,
And bayonets fash in the light no more,
And the wars shout cease, and the eannon's roar,
And violets spring from the blood-stained dust
And brave, true hearts that have tOiled 50 long
To keep our banner free from stain.
Sit down by the dear home hearths again,
And blend their voice in the evenings song?
And hearts grow glad that have throbbed with pain
For many and many a weary day,
For the forms beloved so long away,
Where the life blood flows like showers Of rainS
0, fain would the Angels sweet Peace WOO,
Waiting these pure white tokens down,
Covering this earth's bare bosom brown,
Purer, and fairer, than summers dew
hold ye as such, each beautiful fake,
FIutterlng down the ive-long day;
Soon, soon in death will fierce War lay,
AND Peace through our land her bells awake,

In New York there are q number of
local triumphs, which indicate greater pro-
gress than even the result ih the State.
In the city, the infamous Judge McCunn

elected. McCunn is one of the most cor

In Brooklyn, Colonel Woods { Union)
is elected Mayor by 1000 majority-a great
gain. The Union gaio in Buffalo is large
over last years vote.
Wisconsin is reported as good for thirty
thousand Union majority.
The vote in Maryland will be light.
Schenck enforced the oath of loyalty, wher-
ever parties were challenged. The contest
here was canvassed on the broad issues Of
Liberty and Slavery. There was no subter.
fuge or evasion. The victory there is more
precious, the triumph more greater.
In Illinois, the Republicans have carried
the State, and with large increase in their
gain. Chicago gave three thousand major

Minnesota is sure for the right.
New Jersey brings up the rear. Here
the result seems doubtful. Dispatches

majority.
So We 60. The line is complete from
the Golden to the Empire State. Every
link is sound. All have been welded in
the Union forge, and tried by the fires Of
loyalty. Look at the majorities:
California gave 10000; Maine, $4,000;
Vermont, $4,000; Rhode Island, 5000;
New Hampshire, 1000; Kentucky, 40. 600;

majority Illinois, 10000; Wisconsin,
10000; Minnesota, 5000; New York,
10000; Massachusetts,, $4,000; and last
but not least, when the soldiers vote is in
and counted, for majority Of from 5000
to 1900 in Missouri. Maryland will give
at least 10000.
The Union majorities throughout the
loyal States cannot be in the aggregate less
than three hundred thousand, and will
probably reach q larger figure.

TIE ELECTION.

The election In Davis county psssed of quietly
and was closely eontested. The defeat Of Gilbert
was unexpected. We knew Mr.. Taylor. person
ally to be most popular man, but We had hoped
the contest in this instance would be one Of
principle. Now. that the election is over. We
have no desire 10 stir up old things. but Mr..
Taylor has . reputation abroad which renders
his election lasting stigma upon the county.
However, he is our Representative in the next
State Legislature, and we shall respect and obey
him accordingly, giving our aid and encourage
ment that he may prove an efficient one.
Our defeat 10 attributable to the powerful
whisky influence that exists among Us. Thank
God not a man ou our ticket received vote BY
means Of glass Of Rum! While the Indepen-
dents electioneered with this vile drug. catering
to the sensual and depraved. our aide stood on
grounds Of morality. principle, and intelligence.
In a conversation with an intelligent Democrat.
we were astonished at his candor in asking us
this question, Why is it that every rum-seller
is Democrat. and if Republican goes to sell
ing whisky he too soon becomes q Democrat =
1t is curious; but we will make it still more
curious by inqriring why it is, that Republicans
who encourage intemperance and immortality
always forsake their organization and act and
vote with the Democrats This 10 fact made
patent at our late election.
This, in truth, was almost the issue. We
ask our friends abroad to bear with us; we fought
an honorable fight; boldly meeting that which
is running our county, while our opponents PAN
dered 10 it. Of our candidates, the following
were elected:
William s. Blskely. Register Of Deeds. by .
majority of Eighteen, which il good enough for

night, that yesterday morning the 5th and
9th army corps, under command of Maj.
Gen. Sedgwick, advanced to the Rappahan-
mock Station, he haYing the right wing Of
the army; the LIST, %, aud Sd army corps
forming the left wing. under Maj. Gen.
French, proceeded to Kely's Ford, where
the right wing reached the Rappahannock.
The enemy vas found to be in considerable
force, holding this side of the river. The
rebel batteries, earthworks and the redonbts
crowned the banks on each side Of the Rap
pahana ock !; and Gen. Sedgwick at once
advanced and stormed them with great gal
lantry and impetuosity, causing much
slaughter and taking large number Of
prisoners. When Gen. French reached
Kelley's Ford, about six miles below Rap
pahanuock Station, the enemy threw across
an entire division to support their picket
line on this side. Gen. French hastily
took position SO as to bring his artillery
to bear upon them, aud shelled them with
marked effect, not only killing large num-
Der, but throwing them into utter confu-
sion, scattering them wildly, and taking
many prisoners. Gen. French following
up his advantage, Immediately threw the
6rst division of the third army corps, under
Mai. Gen. Birney, across the river, which
ended bis operations for the day. This
morning he crossed the river with the re-
mainder Of his command. Gen. Sedgwick
had previously crossed, and this morning
the two wings had formed junction, and
had both banks of the river.
The enemy, after their defeat in these
two engagement, were SO hotly pursued by
our victorious forces that they threw them.
selves into the river, in their efforts to
escape, when some were drowned, and
many killed BY our infantry. All the ar
tillery the rebels had on this side was cap
tured. 1t is reported to be seven guns.
Their whole camp equipage undoubtedly
fell into our hands, as they were compelled
to leave it in their hasty retreat. Gen.
Buford's cavalry crossed at Sulphur Springs
to cover the right flank, several miles above
Rsppahannock Station, and Generals Gregg
and Fitzpatrick crossed below Kelley's Ford
to cover the left flank. No definite infor.
nation Of their movements had been re-
ceived up to noon to-day. This morning
our whole line advanced, and no doubt
pressed heavily forward after the resreating
foe. The entire number Of prisoners taken
by Sedgwick and French is now believed to
be 1926. The prisoners are composed
principally of North Carolina and Louis

This afternoon the three o'clock train
commenced bringing prisoners inso Ale-:n-
