After Election.

! The election has passed. The returns have
been received from 40 cities, towns and
plantations, Judge Cont received G7,9lG
votes Bion Bradbury'received sc, 800 votes.
Judge Cony's majority is Il ,533.
| The RICH, has prevailed. The wrong has
been defeated. How ID people talk since
the election? How do people feel after the
election?
Everyone il comparing statistics. The re-
turns OF all the recent elections are hunted
up and placed by the side of the returns as
they come in from day to dav. The victars
wish to measure their strength by their pre-
vious achievements. The conquered wish to
find some crums of comfort.
The votes and majoritics Of the recent i'm,
portant gubcrnatorial elections have been in

ing that Judge Cony's majority is the largest
but one Qlamlins) that any governor hes
ever received.
rh, light Of election returns is always
powerful in showing men the right-and
never ;&9re so than this fall. The copper
heads of Maine are buried in a grave nearly
Is, 600 votes deep. and from this grave they
can never rise. The entire ground upon
which they stood is taken away and they
have sunk. They claimed that the enamel.
patton policy had turned the people Of the
North from the support of President Lin
coin But they have found that the heart
of Maine is strong in its support of the Ad-
ministraton.
They judged that the people of Maine
were not loyal enough to endure the con-
scrption. The copperhead leaders judged
from their own hearts and they judged not
correctly. $4,000 majority makes it certain
that Maine will furnish her quota to fight
down this rebellion.
We rejoice not simply in party triumph
but in a triumph of our country. The
manner in which our Maine regiments in
, the field received the news of our elections,
shows its effect on the cause of the Onion.
Cheers went up from every soldier as Cony's
majority was announced along the lines.
=" The rows of the election reached the
camp Of the Doth Me, near Culpepper, Va
late Tuesday evening, and the boys chcercd
and "tlgercd over it almost incessantly for
an hour, notwithstanding it was the hour of
,.sience in the camp" The cause OF these
rejoicing. was inquired into by messengers
from several other regiments near by,--irom
Massachusetts,, New York and Pennsylvania
and son they all burst out in rejoicinss,
+ an congratulations of the Maine boys. who
bv this time felt almost too happy to live. =
On election day an informal and wholly
uncanvassed ballot was taken in the Goth
Maine. Eeery msa,ber ro'ed for Cony ex,

JefersonlGn.
Just before election the copperhead papers
cautioned their readers to beware Of report.
vi Union victories, for the Uaion papers
would get them up to effect the election and
increase their majority. Is it not unsafe TO
belong to ! party which is afraid to hear OF
Union Victories
Is it not dangerous to belong to party
which depends for as success On the success
Of tie rebel army?

How FoRr SUMTER fooKs-"G. IL" the
Charleston correspondent Of the Savannah
Republican, gives the following interesting
description of how Fort Sumter looks to
rebel eyes
There is nothing III the entire range Of
facts or fancy to Which the ruins Of Sumter
can be likcned that would convey an idea OF
their external appearance. On the sea face
scarcely brick is to be seen. Bushel by
busbcl, cart-load by cart-loai, the wall has
been Clipped off, until nothing is left but q
gray. ragged mass of mortar, from which
project the outlines of former casemates,
heavy beams and iron bars. The bernie or
base is literally covered with the debris amid
which, at every step as you climb over the
great fragments OF stone and brick that have
fallen from the parapet, You tread on broken
proicctics of the enemy scattered IN pieces
whose weight varies from an ounce to han
drcI Iounds The SulIivan's Island face is
less shattered but even here the pits are
deep, and huge piles CT material torn from
the edge of tie parapet by the oyershot balls
have fallen on the rocks below. On the
Morris Island face the spectaclcs battles all
description.
For distance, roughly guessed, Of thirty
yards, the wall is little less than steep hill
that dcsccnds from the arapct to the water s
edge This, too, is a CHASTITY pile OF the
once magnificent shape, from which stand
out. in almost sickcning aspect, fragments
of guns, gun-carriages, masses of machn-
cry, balls, bolts. hammers, sponges. all
bound and mixed together with the iron,
bricks and mortar. in Jumps and in dus ,
that have been wrenched from their long.
time honored places. Here. too, lie the
myriad fragments Of pr2jectiles.
On the plrapct, as you glance around the
pleasant walk that has been the scenes of -
many social episodes, eagerly remembered by
our fair ones, yon observe that the demon of
destruction has likewise laid his heavy hand.
One solitary gun. looming high above all
else. keeps it, lonely watch, AMI this has
been p.rticlly covered by the dirt dashed
over it in the passage of shot. Other guns
broken ~ every conceivable manner, lie
around, their carriages in srlintcrs, and
every vestisc Of their former use destr yed.
