DENocRArIC CAUSE.-THE recent town
elections in Maine show overwhelming
Democratic gains. In only one town has
there been a change for the worse, that is
towards Abolitionlsm. In ell others the
Democrats have either carried their local
tickets or largely. increased their vote as
compared with former years. The reac-
ton is going on splendidly for the Demo
cratic party. but the hirelings Of the Ad-
ministratiOn, the slaves Of money and
power, the Union, Bulletin and Alta, dare
not notice the election returns It would
displease their masters to do 90.

Admiral Dupont, in dispatch to the
Navy Department dated 2lst., attaches
much importance to tho destruction of
the large Engliah iron steamer Georgian
M, which he says Was brought over By .
retired British officer, and intended for
the Confederate navy, to be- Differed in
Charleston. On the night Of tho 18th she
attempted to run in Charleston through
Motfats ehannel. The alarm was given
BY . yacht attached to the Wabash,
which fired into her. The steamer Wis.
sahacksn being near her, also opened
such heavy FIRE on her that her com.
mander hailed to ny thsths surrendered.
Upon this the Wissahacksn ceased firing,
but the Captain Of the Gsorgianna taking
advantage Of the cessation Of our FIRE.
pointed his vessel towards the shore,
which was quite near. and succeded il
running her aground. All on board es-
capped to the shore. The rebels brouph,
their guns to bear from the beach. Capt.
Dallas being Of theopinion that the vessel
.coald not b ssyed, determined TO des.
troy her, which he did by setting her on
FIRE.
The Navy Department up 70 o'clock
to-day h,d received 40 oonfrmatory dis.
patches u - hte report from Cairo, that
six iron-oladsxnd 20 transports with 49,
600 had passed through the Vicksburg
cut-of, and that fort Greenwood had been
surprised and captured.
