Maine Election.
/ GLORIOUS UNION TRIUMPH.


ltls wa,a unfeigned pleasure that we
have to announce 10 our readers this morn
M autire success of the Union ticket,
in for State officers, held in
Main. auey BY this election is
shown that "Peace hath her victories no
less than War n-and while we are re-
joicing over our late successes in the field,
we feel in no less degree the Importance OF
this peaceful victory over secessionists and
copperheads at the ballot-box.
In speaking of this bard fought contest,
the Boston journal says
"There are special reasons for rejoicing
over the victory in Maine. No State is
sues were allowed TO obscure the true
questions before the people. 1t was trl-
umph of loyalty. The lines between the
loyal and the disloyal elements Of the COM
munity were here distinctly drawn, and
the sham Democracy, Copperheads and
traitors worked with desperate energy to
carry the State. And they confidently
expected to do 1t. They had roped IN the
war Democrats, as they supposed, by Sc
lecting candidate identified with them IN
the past-but by placing HIM on plat
form Of antagonism to the government,
they defeated their object. They sent
their best speakers throughout the State,
appealing to the prejudice, the avarlce and
the cowardice of the voters. They worked
as thew have not worked before for sew
eral years, and with higher hopes. Bu
the people Of Maine have proved loyal anC
patriotic, true to their principles, and trut
to their country and its flag. The broker
and routed columns of the rebel allies il
that State and elsewhere will be thorough,
demoralized by the failure Of their effort
to embarrass the government, and tn
rebel leaders will have, in this Union trI
umph, another warning of the doom whlc
is impending over them. All honor
the sturdy yeomanry of Maine for the
patriotism and loyalty to their principle
and their country"
From the returns received it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that Cony, the Republ
candidate, is elected by a majority of troi
twelve to fifteen thousand ever
county in the State has gone for the Unlo
ticket, and that while the Republican
will gain largely in the House of Repr
sentatves, the Senate will be as un
against the opponents of the government

The New York Times of yesterday
SAYS the former Superintendent of the
Tredegar Iron Works at Richmond,
reached Washington on Sept. 10, from
that place. He states that the National
occupation of East Tennessee caused the
greatest surprise and gloom in Richmond.
A great battle was anticipated, instead of
a rebel retreat. He also states that troops
for Lees army had been arriving quite
freely at Richmond for the past few days.
There was general fear that Charleston

- The Seville (Spain) journals state
that during performance in that city
some time since, the celebrated Blondln
was near losing his life, and only owed
his escape to his presence of mind. While
performing he had on head dress, to
which was attached piece of fireworks in
the shape of wheel. When that was
lighted it assumed a rotary motion so vlo-
lent that Blondn was unable to resist the
movement, and feeling the danger, he let
90 the barrow he had been driving before
him, as we'll as his balancing pole, and
endeavored to undo the strings which at
tached the burning head dress to his neck
He dropped from the rope, keeping him
self suspended from it by one leg, while
he divisted himself of the apparatus, the
fireworks still exploding. At length he
succeeded and came down in safety, annie
the cheers of the spectators.

A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, the constitution of the United
States has ordained that the writ Of habe-
as corpus shall not be suspended unless
when in case of rebellion or invasion, the
safety of the public may require it, and
whereas, rebellion was existing on the
Sd day of March, 1868, which rebellion is
still existing, and whereas, by a statute
which was approved on that day, it was
enacted by the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives of the United States in Con-

instruction the President Of the United
States, whenever in his Judgment the pub
lie safety may require, is authorized to
suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas

in the Judgment of the rest the public
safety does require that the privilege Of

WHERE THE ARMY OF THE GULF
ARE GOING TO. A correspondent of the
St. Louis Republican writes from New
Orleans under date of September LIST, as
follows:
The great item is that of an immense
force from here to the Rio Grande. Most
of the sailing vessels have been chartered
some sent to Ship Island to convey the
troops from there, and others leaving here
crowded with troops. Napoleon's move
ments in Mexico and Nicaragua have rem
dered it necessary for Uncle Sam to re-
assert the Monroe doctrine in forclble
manner There is doubt on this point
The French commander here, | am told,
| is fully aware of all that is going on.-
! And what if he is ? Considerable excite
ment prevails here, though smothered by
! prudence. A French war is snutfed from
! afar. Brownsville is said to be the destl-
nation of the troops. A large body of
Mexicans, supposed to be Juarez' party,
are said to be expecting aid. This Is con
! lecture only. But the troops are gone and
are going, sure. Look out for string
times from this quarter. 1t Is predicted
here that the American flag will soon be
planted IN Matamoras itself, which is just
across the river. He whose name is up
may lie abed,' is French proverb. Ma
poleon's name is up, bit it Is my opinion
he will have to keep wide awake, or rise
unusually early to keep ahead of Uncle
Samuel in the land of the Montezumas
So look out for breakers ahead,

the claims of the so.diess in the field upon the
liberality of those who remain at home, and
sweeping away those false excuses that have
been made for not going to the soldiers, and
for not doing for the soldiers, because the
things given have been misapplied. AT the
close of the address collection was taken for
the Soldiers Aid Society.

Hiram Bingham few weeks since had eleven
sheep killed under beech tree by stroke

Information having been received by the
Provost Marshal General that man named
Henry W. Williams, deserter from the Goth
Ohiu Regiment, was in Richland county, de-
tectiye Hackett, of Ravenna, was ordered to
arrest him. On Tuesday he went to Shelby
for that urpose and found Williams prcsid
ing over Copperhead meeting. When the
meeting broke up, Hackett followed Williams
and arrested him. Williams put his hand be-
meath his vest as if to draw pistol, when
Hackett threw him down and took from him
revolver and dirk knife. He bound the de-
serier's legs with the revolver lelt.
The desertef shouted for Democrats" to
come and help him, and number of men
gathered around. A man who said he was a
Democrat but was willing the laws should be
otcyed, asked what his authority was for ar
resting the man, and on hearing the order
read, sal d he was satisfied.
Whilst the conversation was going on some
of the bystanders unbound the deserter, who
was rising to run away when Hackett jumped
for him. At that moment some one in the
crowd fred at Hackett, but Williams rose at
the same instant in the line of fire, and re-
ceived the shot in the back of the neck.
The utmost excitement followed. Hack
EFT was surrounded by an infuriated crowd
and was obliged to abandon the prisoner who
was taken off and attended by two doctors
