IRoN-CLAD MoNIToRs.-It is evident, from
the accounts given of the trial trips of the new
ron-cad steamers, that they are totally unfttedi j
for want of speed ever TO be useful as naval de-
fences upon the ocean. In speed they fail in ev-
cry instance to come up to iha mark. The Pas
ssic IN tolerable water cannot make more than
seven knots, and, that with clean new bottom.
In strong seaside she would be worthless even
for coasting, except she was towed, AID could not
keep her headway. Nearly fifty of these batter
les are now in course Of construction As de-
fenses for our harbors, they will be admirable
floating batteries, and valual e auxilares to our
forts and land batteries. But something more
than this is required for ocean service. A; sea
want speed in our national vessels as a requi-
site Of prime necessity, and the question arises
whether our navy is really growing as formidable
as a national defense as the amount of work in
our shipyards would indicate.-PhiI Inquirer!

HE ELECTION IN DAYToN.-SOme as
constituent and perhaps a little disap-
pointment has been expressed at the
result of the election on Monday, in Day
ton, OAio-the Democratic ticket being
elected by from 80 to so majority In
the first place the same city officers were
simply reelected, but by slightly in
creased majorities The city has always
been close Democrats were elected at
the previous election, and the same men
reelected this time
But the party having turned Copper
heads, it was expected that they would
be beaten this time-and they would
have been, but for piece of most infa-
nous rascality on the part of that I'M
scrupulous demagogue and mischief
maker, Vallandigham, and his dirty
tool, the Dayton Empire. \ few days
before the election special pains were Ia
ken by them to deceive and excite with
false hope the Germans in that city, in
relation to the Conscription Law. They
boldly told these Germans and made
them believe that if the Democratic
ticket was elected, the Conscription
would not be enforced-that there would
be no draft in that comfy, &c. And
thus they carried over enough deluded
Germans to carry the election. This
same lying means was made use of in
other places 10 secure votes, and we pre-
sumo influenced a good many. Let them
see now what they will make by it. The
Conscription will be enforced, and its
enforcement will produce a reaction that
will tell against the men and the party
that have thus deceived and deluded the
ignorant. And we trust it will be en-
forced first in such places as Dayton
where they made that question the issue
and voted the Copperhead ticket with g
! view of RESISTING or nraVnntinu tine Ell
1orcemeht OF the law. Let them, we say
be the first to be drafted-InGianap

Bg- On Saturday night some stray
rebels captured three soldiers Of the l4th
Kentucky cavalry at the house of John
G. Hail, near North Middletown, IN
Bourbon county. The impudent daring
of the act may be estimated when we
consider that the spot is about eQui-
distant from Mount Sterling, Win
chester, and Paris on the east, south,
and west, aud not more than ten
Or twelve miles from either place, where
there are large detachments of Federals.
This looks as if there was great neces-
sity for the rigid enforcement of the re-
cent order of General Burnside against
rebel sympathizers Confederate sol
diers would not thus rashly venture
within our lines unless they had friends
there to warn them of danger, and let
them know when their visits might be
made with impunity,
The rowing depredators are not bel
ligerents, they are horse thieves, and tc
avoid arrest under civil process they pro
Tess to be Confederate soldiers, and
while tLey are picking up horses, mules
and anything of value that comes IL
their way, they make an arrest, or take {
prisoner now and then, to keep up thell
assumed characterization. JOnr.

THE BURNED STEAMBoATs.-We were

burned on the Cumberland the other day
by the rebels, would prove to be boats
loaded with stores for the army, fact
which would have convicted the COM

EXCITEMENT AT HAwEsvILLE. - The
Cannelton Opposite Hawesville) Re
porter is informed that on Tuesday
night of last week about one hundred
armed men, supposed to be from the
back part of Hancock and Ohio counties,
Kentucky, arrived in the neighborhood of
Hawesville, and sent deputation into
the town, who, calling upon G. W. Nc
Adams, George W. Williams, Robert
Beauchamp, William Sterritt, and john
Martin, demanded that each of them
pay, within twenty days, the sum of one
thousand dollars for the benefit of the
widow OF Mr.. Hale, who was shot by
some persons believed to be retel sym
pathizers on last Saturday night. What
this movement will result in it is difficult
to determine. Nothing pleasant, we fear.
If this demand has been made without
authority from the military commander
of the district, he should see that no out
break grows out of it. and have a suffi-
cient number of troops near Hawesville
to preserve the peace.

SIGNAL TRAIN FOR RosEcRANs.-Cart
Wonderly has reached here from Phla-
delphia, which place he left last week
with signal train intended for the Army
of the Cumberland The train consists
of six substantially built wagons, each
containing telegraph instrument, tool
chest, axes, reels with five miles of wire,
spears 20 be used as poles, and iron bars.
The telegraph instruments are the most
complete of their kind ever put in opera
tiorSAand are much superior, both in the
matter of economy and reliability, to the
instruments now in general use. The
dial instrument is used and the cleo
tricity is generated at the time of operat-
ing, and without the use of acids The
instrument is contained in box, which
can be readily carried by one man, and
its mechanism is so simple that it is
ready for use the instant the station in
the field is selected. 1t is patented by
Mr.. Beardslee, of New York-Lou. Jou

The Moral of the Cincinnati Election

Parson Brownlow, writing to the Nash
vile Union, speaks of the Cincinnati
election as follows:
The contest has been for the city Off
ces and for the city rule, which was de-
cided on yesterday. The party sympa-
thizing with Jeff. Davis and his rebellion
held no public meetings, but they were
nevertheless active, and were untiring,
using money freely, through agents, and
dealing out liquor, when it would con ut.
In addition to these appliances, they
have had the services Of a widely circu-
lated daily, the Enquirer, as vile, as
dirty, as lying, and as INSCRIPTIONS a
rebel sheet as is published even in the
bastard Confederacy, with which it is in
sympathy.
A large number of the heaviest mer-
camille establishments of the city closed
their doors, and turned their attention to
saving the city from Butternut rule and
disgrace. The vote has been unusually
large, and the victory one OF great i'm
portance to the Union cause. The day
passed off more quietly than was antici-
pated, the traitors learning, upon au-
thority satisfactory to them, that they
had to behave themselves, and that the
men and means were here to compel
order
Let the merchants and business men
in every city take example by the Gin
cinnati merchants, and they will find
their private interests materially ad-
vanced.

REMARKABLE RAILROAD INCIDENT. -
An employee of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad informs us of the following re-
markable incident and escape:
A day or two since, as a train was go
ing east over the above road, and was
moving along at pretty rapid rate, near
Harpers Ferry, the engineer observed
two-horse ambulance crossing the track
short distance ahead. The engine
had just turned curve, and was so
close upon the vehicle that the train
could not be stopped. The horses had
crossed the track, but the ambulance
was just fairly upon it, when the pilot
struck the vehicle betW cen the front and
hindmost wheels AS strange as it may
seem, the horses were instantly sepa-
rated from the ambulance, and the vehi-
Gle was lifted up and squarely seated
upon the bumpers of the engine, where
it remained until the train was stopped.
The ambulance contained a sick soldier
and four or five officers, none of whom
were injured in the slightest degree.
The horses also escaped unhurt 1t was
regarded as one of the most remarkable
escapes on record. - Wheeling IntelH-
geHcer.

IA Professor Agassiz in his scien-

maintains that TIE American Continent
has been falsely denominated the New
World. ~Here was the first dry land
lifted out of the water, here was the first
shore that was washed by the ocean that
enveloped all the world besides; and
while Europe was represented only by
islands rising here ard there above the
sea, America already stretched an un-
broken line eff land from Nova Scotia to

The Connecticut Election.

The telegraph reports some twenty
Eve hosdred majority for Buckingham
over Seymour. At the election for Gov
efneE in TIE State in 1862, Buckingham
majority over LOOMS (Democrat) was
!9,I4S. At the Presidential election in
1860, Lincoln's majority over all other
candidates was 6,034, and the Tribune
Almanac says it should be placed at
1922 The reault of the recent cleo
ton in Connecticut shows a healthy
| growth of Democratic sentiment, espe-
cially when the fact is taken into consld-
Grafton that the influence and money OF
the Administration were free y used to
secure the success of the Republican
ticket-Indidnapohs Sentinel
The above is printed for the encour-
agement of the weak ones in the party.
The true state of the case is about as
follows: The Butternuts expected to
carry Connecticut, because $4,000 loyal
men were in the army Had the SOL
diers been at home to vote, the Butter
nuts would have been beaten by 10000
majority. Last winter their leaders and
papers asserted that the soldiers would
support them; and they repeated the
; falsehood until Some supposed that they
really believed it. But as the election
approached, their efforts to prevent sol
diers at home from voting exposed their
double treachery
t Since the election there has been a
l continued howl at the soldiers, as though
they had no more right to vote than sc
many negroes. How they love the sol
i diers! They would love them TO death
no doubt, if they could.-IadjanapOti'
