The Election fn Ohio.

S The Newburyport Mass Herald.
Republican organ, expresses its dissatls-
faction at the defeat of Mr.. VALIANDIa-
HAM in Ohio. It says, nevertheless.
But while we are pleased with the re-
suit, let us not forget that in its defeat the
Vallandigham party in Ohio is immensely
powerful, and let the Republican party
he careful not to add to its numbers till
il becomes majority. 1t sounds largo
to say that Vallandigham has been de-
feated by more than sixty thousand votes,
though it is probable that if the soldiers
had voted at home he would have been
ten thousand votes stronger than he was
But with the army vote against him, we
should remember this fact, that he received
sixteen thousand more votes than has been
given for any other Democratic candidate
for Governor Of Ohio within ten years
He received 179, 900, and taking the five
previous elections, we find that he had "a,
600 more than the Democratic candidate
in 1853; more than the one in 1S55-S6.
900; oven the Democratic vote of 1857
I2S, 900; over that of IS59-16, 900; over
that of 1961-37 900 Not only this
but he received more than any Republic
an candidate ever received for Governor
and enough to have elected the Demo
cratic candidate over the Union candidate
Tod, who was a Douglas Democrat, il
1861, His vote was the same that Doug
las had in 1860 1t will be seen, there
fore, that Vallandigham, was only defeat
ed by bringing out the largest vote agains
him that was ever thrown against maj
in Ohio; while he still rests upon a solic
basis that any accident may elevate abov'

Sanders was severely wounded and was
borne from the field We yielded the

Ehe Rebel Surprise on the

Washington.
Correspondence of the St. Louis Republican. ]
WASHINGTON, November 10, 1865.
THE ADVANCE OF THE ARMY OF THE PoTo-

THE ADVANCE OF THE ARMY OF THE PoTo-
The advance of General Meade's forces
to the Rappahannoc on Saturday, was
most disastrous surprise to the enemy
A considerable force had been sent to-
ward Falmouth two days before, giving
rise to the report in my last letter that the
whole army was about to move in that
direction. General Lee was deceived by
this feint, and not dreaming of direct
attack by way Of the railroad, had massed
nearly all his army south of Culpepper
and Kelly's Ford in readiness to meet the
Army of the Potomac again on the Lower
Rappahannock, leaving but few thou
sand troops of Hills corps to hold
the Notifications this side the rail
road bridge and to guard the passage Of
Kelly's Ford The Fifth and Sixth Corps,
under General Sedgwick, moved against
the Notifications. and the First and Third,
under General French, against Kelly 5
Ford; and the enemy, attacked by these
overwhelming numbers, was disastrously
routed and compelled to retreat, surren-
dering all the line of the upper river to
our possession Their loss is not less
than nineteen hundred prisoners, and
| five hundred killed and wounded. Our
/ loss in killed and wounded between eight
aud nine hundred.
Though the result of Saturday is GER
tainly very gratifying record for the
Army of the Potomac, being as it is a
successful exhibition of masterly and
superior strategy, and most disastrous
blow to the enemy, it yet remains to be
developed whether the situation is render
ed thereby any more promising for the
speedy success OF our arms and the cap
ture OF Richmond. When our arm,
swept down on the enemy at Rappahan
mock Station on Saturday, Lee was takel
unaware at his weakest point. and made
to pay Il heavy penalty Tor his failure t.
interpret General Meade's plans; bu
since then he has gathered up his entir
force to our front, south OF the river, aut
is now prepared either to fight a genera
engagement or make good his retrea
without further loss to the fortified hill
OF the Rapidan. The expectation tha
General Meade would force him.to a gen
eral engagement Ola Sunday or Monday
disappointed, and no more stirring opera
tiuns are now looked Tor until the rail
road bridge over the Rappahannock is re
paved alid our army is suppled ior
vigorous pursuit. Lee will, no doub

For though thy pleasures may depart,
And darksoms days be given,
And lonely though on earth thou art,
Yet bliss awaits the holy heart
When friends rejoin in Heaven.

ss- We learn that Gen. Rosecran's

report of the battle of Chickamauga was
promptly made to the A administration, but
It has been withheld from the public
Gen Mcclellan made full report of his
campaign, but the Administration not
only refused 20 publish it but prohibited
him from publishing it. 1t may be sup
posed that the unuttered plea is that the
publication ofthese reports would be in
furious to the country. The reason more
likely is that it would be injurious to the
Administration. Probably the admins
tration assumes that whatever is good for
itself is good for the country, admitting
its assumption, it is about as patriotic an
Administration as we have ever had
