Maryland Election. .

BALTIMORE, Nov. 5.-Returns come in
slowly. There is some doubt as to the re-
suit in the lst Congressional District. It is
generally conceded that Cristieid is elected
over Criswell, the unconditional Union
candidate. Webster, Davis and Thomas
are elected in the ID, Sd and 4th districts,
there being no opposition. The 9th dis
trict is uncertain. Holland, the emancipa-
ZIONIST and Union candidate runs well, and
probably may have defeated Calvert

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The Richmond
Examiner of Monday contains the follow
ing, dated Charleston, Oct. 31st: The enc
my's fire on Sumter last night continued
furious and incessant from the land bate
ries. This morning about o clock por-
ton of the wall fell in, burying beneath the
ruins some men, believed to be of the 18th
Georgia and 18th South Carolina regi-
ments. Thirteen are missing. The second
dispatch gives their names and adds that
they We're buried by the falling in of the
barracks on the south face, where they had
been placed in position for mounting the
parapet in case of an assault.
A fierce commandment has been kept up
all day on Sumter from the monitors and
land batteries. Up to O'Clock this after
noon no further casualties have occurred.
Over 1900 shot were fired in "a hours.
Charleston, Nov. The bombardment
of Sumter CONTINUED Without intermission
last night, and to-day! this afternoon, shots
averaged four per minute. The firing has
been from two monitors, two heavy and
two light rited guns at Fort Gregg, ten
inch mortars at Middle Battery, and four
ritied guns at Wagner.
On Saturday they fired ALB rtled shots,
Sc from the monitors and 393 from mortars.
The mortar fuses are cut so as to explode
the shell in second or two after the re-
port. On Saturday night 20 rified shots
were fired and So mortar shells. The fire
OF the land batteries was directed chiefly at
the southwest angle of the fort. The flag
staff was carried away twice, and was
speedily replaced, but the flag was so cut
to pieces that the battle-tlag of the 18th
Georgia was used instead. The casualties
ofSaturday We're killed and wounded
The bombardment is still severe.
1t was understood yesterday that six
hundred Yankees had landed at Newport
News. This is doubtless the new scheme
which is to astonish Yankeedom, confound
the rebels, take Richmond, and crush the
rebellion!
The gallant Moseby is again in the sad
die. On Tuesday last he made foray
upon the Yankees, within mile of Gen.
eral Meade's headquarters, near Warren
ton, killed three, wounded several, and
captured six white Yankees, and some IS
or 20 black, and $50 mules and horses.
The Lynchburg Republican learning that
some 5000 Yankee prisoners are to be sent
from Richmond to that city, strongly pro
tests that we don't want them here, have
got as many people among us as we can
possibly supply with food, and to have
5000 voracious Yankees added to the num-
Der would make general starvation.

ARCHBISHOP PURCELL REBUKES HIS
SLANDERERs AND PRONoUNCEs Firmly
AGAINST SLAvERY.-MoZart Hall was
nearly filled, last night, by highly intel
ligent assembly, drawn thither by an an.
nOuncement OF lecture to be delivered by
the Archbishop Of the Catholic Diocese
The subject OF the lecture was not announ-
ced, but it was surmised, from the persis-
tent ISLANDERS which have been uttered
against the Archbishop, because of his
firm and fearless refusal to support the
late Democratic candidate for Governor
that his remarks might in some manner
relate to the position he had assumed in
the political crisis. Many prominent up.
holders Of bis faith, whom his course had
startled, and, perhaps, chagrined, were
present, expecting possibly q diplomatic
apology, or, at least, anxious to discover
that he had not wholly renowned his sym
patty with the Democratic party as defin-
ed by the Cincinnati Enquirer. But in this
they were utterly disappointed. Arch
bishop Purcell modestly, yet pointedly,
answered his accusers, and with open and
manly candor vindicated his right and du-
ty to vote as his conscience dictated. He
followed the defense with an unreserved
declaration of his opposition to the division
Of the country, under any circumstances
and closed by recording his belief that
Slavery is an unchriStain evil, opposed tC
the just freedom of mankind, and TO the
growth and glory of a Republican coun
try. His lecture was model of unreserv.
ed candor, and his hearers frequently in
terrupted him with applause, so loud anG
prolonged that it seemed almost unani
nous.
In the course of his remarks, the Arch
| bishop said that for the first time i'll thirty
years, there We're some among his owl
flock dissatisfied with him, who hae
thoughtlessly, he hoped, repeated some fla
grant libels concerning his vote at the lat,
election. Bishop R0secrans and himsel
had been charged with standing at tn,
polls all day, with hands-full of Uniol
| tickets, exerting their influence amonl
Catholic Democrats against Mr.. Nallandig
ham and his companions.
This, he said, is utterly false. He did no
! go to the polls with Bishop Rosecraus; b,

GEN. SHERMAN's CoMMAND.-The Chi
cago Journal, of the Sd, says:
From gentlemen who arrived here this
morning, direct from Gen. Sherman's COM
mand on the railroad, between Iuka, Miss,
and Tuscumbia, Ala, we have the follow
ing information: IT,. ..
The progress of the railroad repairs is
difficult and slow. The heavy rains have
seriously interfered with the work. The
mud is deep, and impedes operations. 1t
may be necessary for Sherman to abandon
the railroad entirely, and move by slow
marches direct towards Chattanooga. The
bridge across Bear Creek, at PASSPORT, was
nearly completed-an important work, be-
ing the principal bridge on this railroad.
Gen. Sherman's headquarters was still at
Iuka, and his advance was fifteen miles
west OF Tuscumbia.
Captain Henry S. Fitch, of this city, has
been appointed by Gen. Sherman Provost
Marshal General of the Department of the
Tennessee.
Ii is generally supposed that Gen. Sher-
man intends to make al independent move
ment upon the enemy's left, and that no
news of Importance need be looked for
from Chattanooga until this movement
shall have been made. \ hard fight is an
ticipated by the officers OF Sherman's army.
