60 The political contest in New Hamp-
shire on Tuesday was very animated, and
taking into account the men who had gone
to the war, the vote will be one of the lar
gest ever thrown. Returns are received
from more than two-thirds of the state
enough to give the general result and it
is complete republican victory. There
is no choice Of governor by the people, il
is true, tho vote for Col. Hartman. the
Union candidate, being sufficiently large
to defeat the election, and throw it into
the Legislature; but this body is strongly
republican, and thus the election of Gil
more is sure. The three republican men,
bers of Congress are also elected. and the
Legislature will elect republican United
States senator, in place of John 7. Hale,
whose term expired on the 4th of March.
We do not believe that fuller returns will
change the result. New Hampshire has
done well.-.SpringtieM Republican.

CAPTURE OF VERMONT CAyarpv

The Burlington Free Press gives III.
following extract from private letter
from Washington, relative to the capture
of party of Vermont Cavalry:
1.-The party under command of CAPTAIN
Huntoon of Co. HI, numbering about 70
men had ridden from camp at Annaudale
to Aldie in the forenoon-some 20 miles
halted, unsaddled and fed their horses
While eating, party of rebel cavalry
something like 100 in number, according
to the stories of escaped men, but only IL
in number, by the account of a secesh
farmer who lives near the spot, and who
probably lies, bounced on our men. Can.
tain Huntoon, who is called an excellent
officer, was taken before he could reach
his horse. Capt. Woodland fought we'll
till his horse was shot under him and fell,
injuring the captain considerably, when
he was taken. His men of Go. NJ. it 10
reported, scattered without showing much
fight. One young fellow of Co. H.
Haynes by name, | believe,) was shot
through bis shoulder and back, but in
spite of his wounds, escaped after having
emptied his revolver upon the rebels,) and
rode nearly 20 miles before he became
too weak to hold on to his horse. He
was brought into Hospital at Fairfax
Court House, and is doing we'll. He re.
ports one other man of his company
wounded, and in the hands of the
rebels. Capt. Woodward was paroled, as
he was too much hurt to he taken off on
horseback"
A letter in the Times of this morning
adds the following incidents:
Some of the men were shooting their hor
ses at blacksmith shop, when the rebels
appeared and some were in a grist-mll
near by, where they remained hid till the
affair was over. Capts. Huntoon and
Woodward were on the steps of the mill.
Some Of the men started to retreat on foot,
and others dashed off without waiting to
bride their horses. Capt. Mosley, who
commanded the rebels, the Times CORES
pendent says, remarked to the citizens of
Aide that Capt. w. was the bravest and
best fighting man he ever saw that he
could testify from actual knowledge as he
witnessed one of his men fall MORALLY
wounded with ball from Capt. WIS re-
volver while under his horse.
This is very unfortunate affair, and
deeply notifying to the regiment. The
forces engaged were about equal, but the
surprise was complete. Our loss was Cap
tains Huntoon and Woodward, and II
men prisoners and twenty horses captured
but no men killed We understand from
rebel sources that five of the men who
ma de or boys so much trouble are now in
the hospital at that place, some of them
mortally wounded. If there was an error
it is not Capt. w. who was in the fault
He is young officer, and this his first
engagement. Capt. Huntoon is experien
ced, and considered one of the best off
GERS of his rank in the regiment.

The Testimony Concluded in the Noble
County Case.
The House adjourned.

From the Cincinnati Gazette we learn that
the testimony In the case of the Noble county
prisoners was concluded on Saturday. The
gasstts says:
Mr.. Hardy, upon whose evidence It was ex-
pected that the men would be convicted, Ar-
rived on Saturday morning and was the frsl
witness examined. Mr.. Hardy was unable to
swear that any of the defendants had been arm
cd, although he had seen them in the crowd
On the conclusion of Mr.. Hardy's testimony,
the counsel for the defense, Mesers Pugh and
Hardy, moved for discharge Of the prisoners.
They claimed that the prisoners could not be
held over unless the body Of the crime which
Il was alleged they had committed had been
proven. This they claimed the District At.
torney had utterly failed to do. The Commis.
sioner discharged Messrs. Gordon, Westcall
and Robert Boggs, but overuled the balance
of the motion. The case was then finally sub.
mitted to Commissioner Halliday, who stated
that he would give his final decision on Mon
day morning. The following additional prlson-
ers arrived on Saturday, In charge of Deputy
U. 8. Marshal Smith Geo. Wiley, Harrison
Jones, Joel McFeren, G. E. Geddis, Benton

the original proprietor, and is now made with
the same care, skill and attention, which first
created Its immense and unprecedented sales
of over one million bottles annually 1t is

million bottles can easily be sold in year

not only the most delightful hair dressing in
the world, but that It ceanses tho scalp Of

rich, Iuxuriant growth, and prevents it from
turning gray. These are considerations worth
knowing. The Esthairon has been tested for
over Twelve years, and is warranted as de-

Going Home to Vote.

The New York Journal Of Commerce Of Sat-

About seventy soldiers arrived in the cars,
yesterday, from Washington, on their way to
their homes In Connecticut. IL is singular
coincidence that they should all be coming
home together, just In time for the election on
Monday. 1t s.also a singular coincidence thai
they are all Republicans, though representing
regiments which are largely Democratic. When
these facts are taken In connection with the
circumstances tSat iurloughs are generally de-
MED to soldiers, the coincidence becomes Every
peculiar.
