There's no doubt but that Colonel North,
Governor Seymour's vote agent here, will

him is known to be overwhelming. His

to give Seymours Commission full swing.
They are still going through the solemn
farce of affecting to be busy in finding out
what it Is all about. On application they
were furnished with specimens of forged
afidavits ready to be filed at will with the
soldiers name and his ballot, which Colonel
North had prepared.
The existence Of such sfidsVits is itself
one of the most dsmning proofs of forgery.

THE ROANOKE CAPTURE.

NEW YORK, NOV. L
Mr.. Hawley, of the captured steamer
Roanoke, in his statement of the affair,
says:
The steamer was boarded in Savannah
Hsrbor by three boats containing passen-
gers, who, in the evening, proved to be
rebels in disguise
The officers and crew were overpowered
and made prisoners, and the vessel headed
for Bermuda, where pilot was called on
board.
Brain went ashore and brought on board
q party of rebels and the vessel put to sea,
soon overhauling brig with coal and pro-
visions for the prirates. These were taken
board and the next day vessel was met
which was to take on the passengers. The
transfer was made together with guam
tity of cotton and the steamer set on fire.
The passengers and crew were taken in
to Five Fathom Hole and the purser and
first officers went ashore TO have the
pirates arrested. They were arrested, but
after mock trial discharged.
The Roanoke had on board $4,000 in
greenbacks and $4,000 gold.
The report that Captain Drew had no
tice of a plot to capture his vessel is un-
founded.
