THE DocToR KNows.-An amusing
thing occurred in the 24th Ohio. A few
days since soldier, in passing to the
lower part Of the encampment, saw two
others from his company making rude
coffin. He inquired who it was for.
John Bunce. said the others.
Why replied he, John is not dead
yet. 1t is too bad to make mans cof-
fin when you don't know if he is going
to die OF not.
Don't trouble yourself, replied the
others. DIR. Coo told US to make his
coffin, and l guess he knows wha. he
gaze him.

st. LOUIS. nov. ~, let3-
Military matters are In quiet state, there
being no rebels to fight save few guc1illas.
There are no movements Of troops, no cxpc.
ditions, no hurried marches, no fortitying, no
struggles to gain strategic advantages or any
thing Of that sort But for Ill that there is
no Ices watchfulness against raids, and bush
whacI1crs pow than few months ago. Tie
state militia, cavalry, and the volunteer in-
fant1y are In winter quarters, in various por
tions Of the State, doing garrison duty, and
ever on the alert to catch the rebels should
they be so bold as to make their appearance.
There is no doubt Of tho presence Of thous-
ands Of returned rebel soldiers in the interior,
especially In the counties which gare such
strong Conservative ma}oritics ut the last
election. Tho people there aro acting on the
principle that so long rs the returned rebels
behave themselves they ought to be let alone,
and the mere attempt to Interfere with them
will rcrivc tho strife at their doors, and hence
It is best to allow tlcn1 to live among the
people SO long as they arc peaceab1c. This
theory md practice has two sides, the dark
side may not be developed until these re-
turned rebels ayail themselves Of the advan-
tage Of whole winters residence and guide
tic gucrfllas In robb1ng the very families who
hare protected them By refusing to give In
formation Of their presence to the Union
commanders.
No officinl declaration of the result Of
the late election has Jet been made. To
use common phrase, there Is no question
that tile soldiers vote has been doctored by
tho local county canyassers to tho prejudice
Of the Radical ticket Tho Secretary Of State
Inns published returns from forty-eight coun-
: ties, which foot up as follows, including the
soldiers vote: Radical, 50, 54S. Conservative,
"a ,G73. The counties still to be heard from
arc genera1ly in our favor, thong gh in many Of
them along the border no polls were opened.
There is a 1aint hope, that the canyassers who
manipulated the military vote to suit tho
CONSERVATIVE ticket, may yet bc defeated md
the result is quite uncertain as to the coun~
ties returned as the State Board mny under
take revision. A grave responsibility Is
thus thrust upon the Governor aud Secretary
Of State. Right under the eyes of the Lessis-
lature they dare not, 1t is presumed, palpably
violate their oath and conscicnces SO rs to de-
feat the will of the people. The disttanchisc-
ment Of the soldiers may be next to their
hearts, but nothing shortof the clcnrest fraud
can authorize the rejection Of the military re-
turns. Il there Is fair play at the Capital, It
is believed the Radicals may yet win:
