COUNTY CoMMIssIoNER.-We have
received returns but from few towns
enough however have been received to
show that Mr.. Jos. Bates, I'd, is elected
by an overwhelming majority over the
regular candidate, Mr.. c. A. J. Marsh.
This is not rum triumph, however
Mr.. Bates is well known as one Of the
strongest temperance men in the county.
He has done what perhaps no other nan
ever did kept tavern for many years,
and never sold a drop Of liquor for any
purpose whatever during the whole time.
This fact, so universally known, secured
him a heavy temperance vote, besides
very large number from those whose
temperance principles are known TO be
extremely 'shaky.' The third year cry

feated Mr. Marsh more than any other

From WAsuINGToN.-A Washing
ton dispatch says it is universally admit
ted that at the close of the session of
Congress there will be a decided change
in the policy of the government, The
president has yielded to the advice of
Secretary Seward and Tburlow Weed TO
propitate the conservatives, and thus
make the CONSUMPTION palatable. The
measures in view are
First-A change in the cabinet that
will give Seward and bis policy ma
jority Of its members. Chase is to be re-
tanned, or if he retires Robert J. Walker
is to take his place.
Second-Tho restoration Of Gen. Nc
Clellan to some command, to shut tho
mouths of his noisy aud disloyal friends.
Third-Some concession 10 The negro
prejudces Of northern soldiers. The
blacks IN the army to be kept in subor-
dinate positions.
Fourth--The radical republicans are
to take back seat and the moderate
republicans aud war democrats are to
have the confidence and direction of the
administration.
Fifth-There are to be no more arbi-
trary arrests.
The LIST Pennsylvania reserves refused
to do duty on picket, on Saturday, in
Virginia, on the ground that they had
been in service since May or June, 1861,
have participated in most of the hard
fought battles in Virginia, that they are
so reduced in numbers that no one regi.
ment will number $50 men, and that
their request to go home and recruit has
been Gisre garded, while the I'd New
Hampshire is allowed to go home.
Immediately upon the adjournment of
Congress the complete enrolment OF the
whole fighting population of the North
will be made, and some drafted men call.
ed into the thinned ranks of our service.

were fired on by rebel battery, and an
engagement of one hour ensued 10 which

Town BURNT.-Hopetield, a town Of
500 inhabitants, opposite Memphis, on
the Arkansas shore, has been burnt by
order of Gen. Hurlburt. There were
20 good houses in the place. Not a YES

deed was done because guerri.las made
the town their headquarters. A battalion
was sent over to perform the work, and
they did it successfully.

DIsLoYA LEGISLATURE
withdrawal of The Union members from
the Indiana House of representatives on
Wednesday last, has probably put an end
TO further legislation this season. But
two of the minority remained in the hall,
and all have now gone home. The
cause was an attempt to pass an uncon-

ment of all military power.

will finish the fight with artillery, and starve
them out. .. o., .atrar.a
