THE ELECTION! +!
rHE REsULT I'M cLEARFIELD.

Below we give returns OF the election in this
county as far as heard from mp 10 the time OF
our going TO press. If the districts not in,
give proportionate vote, the Copperhead ma
iority will be abo ut ESQ. This is less than
the leaders of that party claimed, and when
all things are taken into consideration, is as
orsble result tor the Union cause could
reasonably have been expected. more vir-
uient canvass never was made OF this county.
Falsehood and Misrepresentation of he gros-
sest character were INDUCED in by the Cop
perhead organ and oratorG-the Government
was sssailed in the most outrageous manner
the President denounced as a despot and fy-
rant-the fears OF the timid and the prejudices
OF the ignorant were appealed TOBY brow
beating and whisky not few were induced to
vote the Woodward ticket, AID ut least two
deserfeTs were slipped through back alleys
10 and from the polls TO swell their vote.
Having a majority OF the election Boards
in many of the Districts, the Copperheads had
things pretty much their own way. Mr.. Twist
and FIVE others, (Union men) not Withstand
ing the fact that they had been twice enroll
ed in Knox township, Che latter claiming
them as her's.} were not allowed TO vote be
cause some slimy creature made oath that they
were living in Boggs. On the other hand, in
| this Borough. supporter of Woodward was
permitted 10 vote, after he he'd stated, on
oath, that he was married man and that his
wife resided in Snider county-whilst theLaw-
renee township Board, giving ear to a fellow
stupid with liquor, who read only portion OF
the 44th section of the election laws, for n
long time hesitsted about taking the votes OF
two men who were qualified that they were
residents of the district and had paid taxes
within the time prescribed by the Act. These
are wellknown facts which cannot be truth
fully contradicted, and will give persons a.
broad an idea of how the contest was carried
on. and the election conducted By the Copper
heads in Cearheld county.

REVELATIONS OF REBEL MAILBAG

Among the captures by our troops at Cum
berland Gap, was large rebel mail bag, the
contents Of which have afforded both smuse-
ment and instruction to those who have ex
amined them. Among other things, the LETT
ters confirmed beyond all question that the
Georgia truops are dissatisfied as any in
the Confederate service. Out of the large
number of Georgia letters IN the mall but two
placed any confidence whatever in the rebel
cause. One gentleman wrote hons for his
wife not to sell his two pigs for Confederate
money, as it was entirely worthless. Another
says: ssif this war ain I closed soon. there will

4 Curious THEORY OF THE DURATION OF
THE WAR-The Rev. John Gilbert of Clay
county, Kentucky, writes to a friendIin Frank

the duration of the present war. In his let

During the Revolutionary War corn blades
had sersH points TO them, that is, the blade
grew in such a manner a. To have seven dis
tinct points or ends corresponding with the
sharp point Of the blade. These seven points
indicated the duration OF the Revolutionary
War. Now there but three seperaie and
distinct points to many Of the blades, and
this Indicates, very learly 10 my mind, that
the duration Of the present war will De three
years-the points OF the blades representing
