Moral Easet q ths Elsetion Abroad.

The American people have seen The whole
some effect the victories our arms have pro-
duced on foreign Governments and foreign
sentiment but none of them have carried so
great moral effect on foreign powers as will
be produced By the demonstration of the re-
cent elections, that the Government has the
enthusiastic support of the people in the de-
termination to put down the rebellion. We
may say, without the slightest exaggeration,
that the world has watched the contest in Ohio.
To foreign powers the issue was plainly made
up. Their views were not muddled by the
treacherous talk of the ValIandigham party
for the Union. They knew him as an open
ally of the rebellion, and they would have re-
garded bis success as proof that the people oil
the free States had refused to support the war
for the national union. and as sealing its seper-
alton. 1t is probable that recognition of Con-
lederate independence would have followed il,
at least on the part of France.
But this great popular vote in support Of
the Government, after two years of a vast and
terrible war, with all the hardshps, losses and
burdens inseperable from such a war, given,
too, at time when great draft was announ-
ccd. and in the full realization of the greater
sacrifices that will still be required, will dem
onstrate to the world the unyielding deter
miuation of the people that the rebellion shall
be put down, and the natioaal unity preserved
cost what it will.
We may consider this popular declaration
decisive of the question of Intervention. The
military power we have exhibited is too formi-
dable for any power, or any number of pow
ers, to desire to encounter it when il is backed
by the determination Of the people. Foreign
Governments will cease to regard the sepera.
tion of this nation as a foregone conclusion
and to act as If it were so near an accomplish
ed fact that any aid they might furnish it would
be safe, and a profitable investment. They
will cease to expect it, and their conduct to
ward this country will be governed by the con
viction that they are dealing with a united
great and powerful nation, able to maintain
its rights and honor, and that all the prece
dents they are now setting they will have tc
meet under other conditions

Dear Father:-You letter of the 9th

you were well, and sorry to learn of the ILL
Dess of Marsh and Mary. Tell Marsh he must
shake of the shakes on the 18th, and make
the disciples of the martyr, the illustriOus ex-
lie (?) shake with his shouts for John Brough.
l suppose there is not shadow of doubt OF
Brough's election, and am glad to believe it.
know nothing Of his political antecedents,
but am perfectly willing to take him on trust,
for be is the candidate of the right party, and
therefore cannot fail of being ''sound." l
blushed for the glorious old Democratic party
when l heard of the miserable Vallandgham's
nomination. l cannot see how men who had
voted for Douglas (whose last words were
for the UniOn) could see anything worthy the
support or countenance of honest men in the
arch traitor who dates his epistles to his r..
spectacle constituents from Canada. 1t is a it
consummation to his traitorous course to take
refuge in Canada, and consort with Breslin,
the defaulter. There are more of his stamp
in Ohio. Why are they tolerated The COM
ing election will demonstrate that there are
thousands of "things" in the State, who, like
their Chief would trail the old flag in the dust;
who, with their cowardly cry for ''peace," are
all the while doing all in their power to pro-
long the war. They want "tbe Constitution
as it is and the Union as it was" They CRY
for ''peace." They beg that this unnatural,
unholy, cruel war may cease. "Oh! consist.
ency, thou art jewell" They want the Con-
stitutiOn as it is Suppose they get it. II
| mistake not that Constitution declares that
treason shall be punished by death. II the
copperheads get the Constitution as it is, where
would the copperheads be? They want the
Union as it was, and in the same breath tell
US they want "peace." Miserable copper
heads you want too much. If you want the
Ubion as it was you cannot have peace, for
there are seven or eight States to conquer and
several armies to whip first. As for peace
you will never know it, here or hereai-

Rebel Accounts or a Union victory.

LYNCHBURG, Oct. 16.-Twenty-
seven regiments of Yankee cavalry
and mounted infantry, estimated at
$4,000 men, passed Greenvllle, Tenn
essee, around eastward to make
raid on the Virginia & Tennessee
Railroad, and attack our forces at
Bible Ridge 6 miles west of Green
vile. On Saturday the 10th our for
ces withdrew to Henderson's, ten
miles east of Greenville. The enc
my having succeeded in reaching
our rear, our men fell back to ZaIh-
Golfer until the Yankees, heavily re-
enforced, advanced upon them,
when they were withdrawn to Bris-
tol Our loss in both days fight
was 800 killed and wounded. Our
wounded fell into the hands of the
enemy. Wednes day night the enc
my were at Bristol. and are repor-
ted to have advanced toward Abing-
ton with heavy force supposed to
number 5000 to 10000. Joe Hook
er is in command in East Tennessee.
Burnside has left, having resigned
or been dismissed. Three regi-
ments of Tennessee renegades have
been organized, and four hundred
refugees are following the Yankee
army. The enemy destroyed no
property in East Tennessee, as they
expect to hold the country perma-
nently.

Latest from the Front-lEsad's Pursuit Of Lee-A
Battle 1mminent-Heavy SkirmIshing,
WASHINGTnN Ontnhar 21

Advices from the front are to the
following effect:
A large force of Lees army be-
lieved to be at Warrenton Oh Mon
day, and had formed in battle ar
ray and posted their artillery to
check Mead's force. Our troops
were moving steadily on, their col
umns being SO disposed as to pre-
vent surprise. Bufords's cavalry
took the road through Thorougfare
Gap, and found no enemy there.
In the engagement on Monday,
General Custar was CONSPICUOUS, and
reports that the rebel cavalry were
driven beyond Buckland Mills from
Gainesville, where our cavalry en-
countered rebel infantry and artil-
lery in line of battle, their line ex-
tending over mile. At one time
Davis brigade of cavalry and artil-
lery was cut off completely. He
got we'll out of the difficulty, how
ever. Our loss in killed, wounded
and missing, was about 200. Sew
eral wagons, one of which contained
the official papers of the brigade,
were captured.
At one o'clock to-day several of
our corps are reported marching
against the enemy, and battle was
cons idered iminent. Our headquar-
ters were yesterday morning in the
immediate vicinity of Georgetown
and Gainesville, which means that
onr army was then considerably in
advance of those points; but last
night headquarters were in an en-
tirely different position.
The only points or portions of dis
patches allowed to made public,
from Burnside. are as follows: Gen.
Shackelford, with his cavalry, had
driven the rebels compl eteIy from
the State; captured Fort Zollicof-
fer, and burning the long railroad
bridge at that place, and five other
bridges, and destroying three loco
motives and about thirty-five cars
His advance is now ten miles be-
yond Bristol. Our loss at Blue
Springs and in the pursuit was
about one hundred killed and woun-
ded; the enemy's considerablygreat-
er. About 1900 prisoners we're
taken.

Jov for all Parties.

The Democratic party may well be resigned
to the result of the election. They share all
the benefits of the popular triumph, and in ad-
ditioG they have been arrested on the way to
commit great crime. The election has Sc
cured peace, liberty and law. They intended
their success to bring civil war. The peace of
the nation is brought nearer by this result
Rebellion has lost its chief hope. The coun-
try is safer at home and more respected abroad.
Property is secure and more valuable. The
public credit is firmer, the currency safer
They intended their success would reverse ali
this, to encourage rebellion. instigate fOreig n
intervention, secure national dissolution, an
sacrifice national independence, break down
the currency and dishonor the public faith, in-
terpose separation, disintegration and anarchy
in the way to peace. Their plot would not
have been carried out without vastly enlarging
the dimensions of this civil war, and destroy
ing all security of life, liberty and property
They would have suffered with others. There
fore they may well rejoice in the triumph ol
patriotism. When men are arrested as they
are about to commit some great crime. as soon
as reason returns they are grateful to the pow
er that prevented them. So in the sober sec
Ond thought the Democratic party must be
grateful that popular defeat has prevented its
committing the great crime laid down in the
Vallandigham programme.-C Cincinnati Gaz-
