THE SOLDIERS, VOTE.

From the October Elections until the contest
of this week, we were told daily and hourly By
the Democratic press that the soldiers were all
going TO vote for McClelan-that they felt no
interest in more State Elections, bat when the
National battle was to be fought. they would
come ont a little more than unanimous for the
Hero of the Chickahominy. Well, they have
voted; our New-York soldiers vote b. secret
ballot; so. of course. We cannot tell how they
went; but those Of other States do their work
openly-with such results as these, so far as the
figures arc known Of the ballot in and near
wo.bi,r.on and in the Army Of the Potomac:

RoscoS COSKLISG is elected to Congress from
Oneida County by l,O7O majority-barely be-
low those Of Lincoln and Fenton.
The canvass in Oneida has been more earnest
and desperate than that in any other Dis.
trict Of the State or Union. Mr.. Conklinga
personal enemies who profess to be UniOnista
left no stone unturned 10 secure bis defeat; but
they were met with equal spirit and resolution.
They could neither bully nor buy the farmers Of
Oneida out Of their conviction that Roscoe
Conkling was the strongest and fttest man in
the County to represent It at Washington, and
that the voice Of great majority should pre-
vail, rather than thai Of a tactious handful.
Few if any Districts in the Union will be mora
ably or worthily represented in the next Con-
greSs than Old Oneida.

hath no law and the arming Of their negroes
by the Rebels is as certain as anything future
can be, provided the War is to go on. And no
one pretends that these armed negroes can ever
be disarmed and sent back to the cotton-iields
as slaves. On the contrary, it is inevitable that
