STATE ELECTIONS ON TUESDAY


Tomorrow, Tuesday, elections take place in
three important States, viz. Indiana, Ohio and
Pennsylvania. We have assurances from all
these States that the Union cause will triumph.
In Pennsylvania, our friends hope to gain four
members Of Congress and to increase the Union
msjoritlcs throughout the State. In Ohio and
Indiana glorious results are anticipated.
Meanwhile the Copperhesds arc moving tho
powers OF darkness nightly TO compass their
end. One lie which they were wont to below
forth now sticks In their throats. They no
longer say much about freedom Of speech and
Of the press, for the very saying proved It's
fslslty over and over. But they now build
their hopes Of success upon the defeat OF our
armies, aud their journals and orators detract
mallciously from the well-earned honors of
our gallant soldiers in every action, aud In
vent lies to make The world believe we have
suffered disasters.
To- day the Secretary Of War shows TO the
world by dispatches from our generals at
the important points that everything is
working we'll; and tho stories of the peace
Democrats, who delight only in the discom.
future of our battalions, are "weak inven.
tions Of the enemy" It must be a Iniser.
able cause which aourishes upon the humilia-
tion of our dag and misfortunes Of our coun.

who vote tomorrow for their States, while alb

Upon the ave OF important State elections
We find The Copperhead journals promulgsting
bogus reports OF disasters to our brave armies
in the field unmistaka6ly for the purpose Of

FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC
Asuccss.ful Rec connoissance.


GCor espord denee OF the AsEociated PreBsl
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC
October 8, Is0I (
The 9Th and 9th corps advanced their lines
yesterday some half a mile, driving the enc
my's sklrmishers into their breastworks. The
movement was for the purpose of feeling their
strength and to determine whether this part of
the line had been weakened 30 as to strengthen
their forces elsewhere,
Our forces hold the ground gained, but as
yet have made no attack on the main line. A
few prisoners were taken during the advance.
Their statements are merely a repetition of al
most all others, namely; hard times, great des-
pondency among the troops, etc.
Picket ring was kept up all last night.
The prisoners say they are much opposed to
this barbarous practice, and only indulge in 1t
on the positive orders Of their officers, but
that they generally fire too high to have any
effect Their officers believe this practice pre-.
vents many desertions, which is true.
Our mortar firing Is said to be very accurate.
Scarcely a day passing in which numbers of
the enemy are not killed and wounded by our
shells bursting In their midst.

Ii THE FIELD, NEAR AIKBE's LANDING, Oct.
Z, p. m.-Quitea severe engagement took place
this morning between force Of the enemy and
our troops, on the north side of the James, In
which we suffered considerable loss in men
and material, including two batteries of four
guns each, besides being driven back some dis
tsnce from the advanced position gained ten
days ago.
II will be remembered that our troops crossed
the James at that time, and succeeded in
driving the enemy from the lower part Of Cha
pins Bluff, taking several guns and a number
OF prisoners. An attempt was afterward made
TO recapture the lost ground, but It failed. Our
army at once entrenched itself there, and since
that time has considered Its position perfectly
secure. A force Of cavalry, under Gen. KautZ,
co.operated In all the movements there, and
was reported at one time as being within a
mile or two Of Richmond, but had to fall back.
Since then he has boeu projecting the right
| dank OF the army, his men being so strung out
that they presented a rather weak line to the
| foe.
About o a. IN. to day, sudden attack was
made on this cavalry force from nearly every
dlrectioni aud, although they were completely
taken by surprise, II Is said they made every
effort to hold their ground, but were finally
forced to retreat, leaving two batteries without
support, the entire guns Of which fell into the
enemy's hands. They were the 4th Wisconsin
and battery B, 1st United States. The latter
was commanded by Lieutenant Hill, who is
said TO have fired all his ammunition, aud
finding he could not get his guns off, spiked
them.
The engagement commenced on the Darby.
town road and was continued on the New
Market road, near which the right of the 10th
corps reached. The assault on this part Of the
line was so desperate that 1t also was forced
back some distance, but the ground was after.
ward recovered, with heavy loss to the enemy.
This ended the engagement, although picket
skirmishlng continued all day. Our loss is
not known, but must have been considerable
as some Of our cavalry were completely sur.
rounded.
Gen. Kautz Is said 10 have been captured
but succeeded In making his escape.
The snemy's loss was severe. We took abou
seventy prisoners, mostly OF Longstreet'
corps. Some Of them arc flne looking youu(
