whacker, Henry Williams, who, it will be re.
membcred, did so much damage in Missouri,
was seen in Wheeling few days ago, and left
on Monday night on horseback for parts un'

county, and should he get band together he
will do as much damage in this State as he did
in Missouri. Shortly after the battle of vii
son's Greek, Sterling Price gave him command
of ono hundred mounted cm.throdtS. His ilrs
act, after Gen. Pope evacuated Springfield ant
had crossed the Usage river, was 10 steal in th'

FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC


Correspondents Of the Associated Press,l
HEADQUARTERS ARNT OF THE Potomac,
Nov. lion Wednesday evening about seven
O'Clock, a force Of the enemy were discovered
massing In front Of our line near Fort Stead
man, when the guns of the fort opened fire,
driving them to their works to seek shelter.
The enemy's batteries replied briskly for a
short time, but by our shells and mortars
they were soon silenced. A force OF about one
hundred and fifty shortly afterward made o
sortie from their lines and attempted to pene-
trate ours, but being met by a salute from the
plcksts, were not long in finding their way
back under cover.
A Lieutenant In the Sth New York heavy ar
tillery was fatally wounded yesterday when be-
hind the breastworks.
A sharpshooter watched chance to retail
late, and In less than an hour a rebel appear
ing above their works, afforded him an oppor-
tunity to do so. In an instant he fell pierced
BY a bullet.
As the enemy seem determined to pursue
tile policy of shooting at every man they see,
The pickets in front of the Cd corps were
briskly engaged most Of last night, and the
reports Of musketry at times was almost con-
tinuous.
This morning all Is quiet.
The Commissioners and Agents from
Philadelphia, arrested on the charge of is
suing incorrectly printed blanks and tally lists,
have been ordered to Washington, for erami-
nation by the Secretary Of War. They start
this morning. W. d. MCGREGoR.

NE. EDITOR An article in the ChrOHicle, of
November II, think is likely to deceive many
persons with regard to the loyalty of certain
clerks In the Interior Department. The ChroH-
teEs states that vote was taken in the Pension
Bureau, when the clerks belonging to that
bureau, with some others, gave Lincoln and
johnson l9l votes. The Chronicle does not
state how many 81 800 and g., 900 clerks, whose
loyalty has for long time been questioned,
refused to vote at all. We know that some OF
those who refused to vote for Lincoln and
johnson were prominent cases before the
Potter Committee" While we are having
reports OF voting, would it not be well to give
both Eidesi UNION.

CONVICTION OF FRANZ MULLaR.-The trial
Of Franz Muller extended over the 27th and
18th Of October, and II was doubted whether a
verdict would be arrived at on the 2Jth. When
the Africa left Liverpool the evidence for the
prosecution was concluded, and the counsel
for tho defence had spoken. He contendsd that
there was no evidence to convict the prisoner,
but did not attempt 10 prove an alb.
The statement In the first dispatch that Null
er's defence was not TO be an G!iJi, was incor-
rect. Evidence was adduced to show that he
called at house Of ill-fame, some miles from
the scene Of tho MURDER on the evening In
question, and all effort was made 10 show from
not have been 10 the train with Mr.. Briggs.
The evidence, however, was not conclusive.
Later In the afternoon the jury returned ver-
dict of guilty, and the Judge passed tho sen.
tepce of death, without the slightest hope of
rrprlevr.

The Democrats Cone EIDE the state Of Nsw
York for Lincoln and Fsnton-ssy-
mour Defeated.
The New York World OF yesterday thus
pcevishly Acknowledges tho defeat:
1--WE are afraid Governor Seymour has been
cheated out of the vote OF the State. In view
Of the returns which we received during the
Grst two days after tho election was held, we
could not understand the confidence of the Re-
publican journals In their boasts that they had
carried the State; but II seems they know Of
some things that We did not, ard which were
not included In the honest election returns. In
short, according TO our Albany correspondent,
they have been holding back the returns In all
the Republican strongholds with view to
finding out how many votes were needed In
order TO count Fenton In. We cannot defeat
lIorAtlo Seymour by our figures, which are pre-.
Cisely the same as those received In the Offices
of the Republican Journals; but yet they claim
Fenton's election by 5000 majority, which was
probably the figure agreed upon beforehand.
"Previous TO the election we had an estimate
made up Of the probable result BY counties In
this State. 1t was carefully compiled, and
from the best sources Of information, and gave
us the State by about Il, 900 majority. On
the night OF election, the actual returns more
than justified our estimates; for we did not er.
pect more than 5000 majority in this city.
Hence we felt tolerably sure that Seymour had
carried the State, and were at loss to under
stand the basis for the confidence OF the Re-
publicans in face Of the figures; but 1t seems
Morton did not visit New York for nothing.
Governor Seymour may be counted out by
doctored returns; but we firmly believe that on
last Tuesday he received an honest ma jorlty OF
the votes of the people Of the Empire State"

How LOYAL ImsuMAN FoUGHT AND VOTED.
Among all the many soul.stirring incidents at
the polls on Tuesday We have read of none
more impressive and glorious than the follow
ing, described by tue Providence Journal. An
instance of devotion like this, on the part of an
adopted citizen of the country, is 10 itself a
sufficient answer to all the cowardlce of peace
party and all the wretchcd assertions that this
war against traitors has been or will be a
failure
In Fall River there was very touching case
Capt. James Brady, warm.hearted, brave,
and loyal Irishman, commanding a company
of the Goth Massachusetts regiment, was re.
Gently wounded in tho Shenandoah Valley, and
is now at home in Fall River, with one leg of
and three balls in his body. On election day
he insisted upon giving one more shot at the
enemy. Accordingly the shattered hero was
placed upon stretchcr, covered with the
American ensign, and borne by four men to the
ward-room, where he deposited his vote for
Lincoln and johnson, every man present stand
ing uncovered meanwhile, and not few eyes
sulluseh with tears. As the gallant captain
was borne away, having discharged his pa
triotic duty, cheer after cheer attestcd the fact
that the deed was appreciated.
