The Committee on Address made report.
The address sets forth that the honor and
glory or the people were sufficient reasons
Tor urging the reelection of Mr Lincoln,
whose administration has presented all the
powers and resources Of the Government in
their ''trongest light 1t was necessary for
the successful prosecution OF The war, that
there should be no change in the Admins.
s'ati9n at u @Sshington, for any SUCH change
would involve Il change Of measures and of
military and civil labors, which could oaly
result in ruin to the national credit and ma.
tlonal cause. If, on the contrary, President
Lincoln is reelected, it will in effect reaiiirm
the principals which he has upheld, and the
rebellion will be crushed.
The address pays high tribute to the
influence of the personal virtue of the Prcsi-
dent, 10 his firmness aad impartiality, and
concludes with statement that his success
in the next campaign will not oc a triumph
Of party merely, bst the tsismph OF great

HSsI endorses the policy of the National Ad.
minstration in the prosecution OF the war
aud punishment Of traitors-ap policy which
II carried out, wia result in the triumph of

Governor Curtin, who deserves the respect
OF all loyal men, and who Is entitled 10 cred.
it as just aud tried officer who has su.-
tanned the honor OF Pennsylvania and its
dignity.
The third resolution eulogizes the alac:ity
of Governor Curtin In contributing to the
national deienees with all thc resources of
the Keystone State. The fourth resolution
thanks loyal Senators aud members at Har.
risburg for faithful performance of their

The last information from the army a,
the Potomac is that all was quiet yes,er
day. A number of shells had baen
thrown into Petersburg yesterday from
the monster Is inch mortar to deter the
rebels from crowdiug on our picket. and
seem to have had the desired effect.
The navy department has received OF.

pears the rebel General Page endesyorsd
to obtain more favorable terms. but was
obliged to surrender For, Morgan uncon-
ditiourlly. Farrragut states he has res

we're spiked and the gun carriages wan.
sonly injured. 1t was aiso discovered
that Gen Page and several Of HE officers
had no swords to deliver ana severa,
we're broken that were surrendered The
whole conduct OF the officers OF Fort

contrast in moral principle that il can
not fail to be remarked upon. Col. An.

A correspondent with the Fifth Army
Corps gives the following description oil
the field of battle on the Weldon railroad
on the day after Sundays struggle:
''No battlefield, covering such limited
territory, can be cited in this war where
evidences of terrible struggle and des-
perate carnage have been more marked d
and fearful. The dead lay as they had
fallen, not slngly and scattering, but in
heaps, IN some places two or three deep.
This Is no fiction-it is the tragedy, OF
war the closing scene of DAVIS dread
ful drama, grand tableau ofltbe dead
Dead horses, broken caissons, swords.
muskets, and all the dread paraphernal;a
OF battle, gave the finishing touch to the
picture. Those who took a view of the
field--and | ind on conversing with rebel
wounded and prisoners brought in late
last evening that they give the same
hgures-now estimate the enemy's losses
on Sunday II from f,ur to FIVE thousand.
Parties from our side have been busy nll
day burying our own and the eneasy' .
dead. There are are many rebel dead
still on the field unburied."
