The Army Vote.

The Importance Of the soldiers vote in the
coming election is something that should not
be lett out of the political calculation. The
electoral votes of the Presidential election, not
counting any OF the reconstructed States or the
three new States OF Colorado, Nevada and
Nebraska. is 23l. A majority OF this, o. Is
ELECTORAL votes necessary to choice. The
States of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
West Virginia, kentucky. Missouri Michigan,
Wisconsin, Iowa Kansas, Minnesota and Cali
fornia, and if the new Constitution be adopted,
Mary and, also allow their soldiers To vote in
the field. This may be the case inother States.
but we are not aware Of it. But the STATES
named (without Maryisud) control between
them li3 Electors, and in nearly all Of them
the voting soldiers hold the balance OF power
between the parties at home. We oil know
how the soldiers vote, and if they have the
power to elect Abraham Lincoln they will do
it. But we will not be compelled to rely upon
the soldiers vote for victory. The home pairi-
OTIS will emulate their brothers in the field and
achieve success themselves There Is not
shadow of hope for the Chicago nominees.

The Insanity OF JUDGE Perkins.

In letter to Hon. D. Voorhees,. dated
'.Irp;.sapolis Nov. II, 1863 Joseph
f. Mcdonald, The Democratic candidate
for Governor, speaks as follows of Judge
Perkins, VINO is also on the Democratic
State Ticket:
LAS to Perkins, you will have learned
from one mutual friend Bowling; that we
have had an interview with the Judge,
and fully aware of the hallucination I'M
der which he has been sometime laboring
but don't see just how he can be right
himself l think he will be permanently
cured Of his insanity in time, but it may
take time.
'.Of course it is not necessary for me
to say to YOU that know III more of the
sentiments Of his letter until | saw it in
the public papers than you did. If he
had sent his letter to me, and not the
editor Of the Sentinel, it would not have
seen the light of day in that shape; but
he seemed to think he had discovered
the Northwest passage, and wanted the
whole benefit OF the discovery; and con
seqgentiy be had to give this thing to
the pubic at once.
Judge Perkins letter referred to by
alr. Mcdonald was in favor OF prosecu-
ting the war to suppress the rebellion
and to save the Union. Hence McDon-
aids position can be very easily inferred
from his remarks to his bosom friend,
voorhees,. Lest peace at-sny price Dem
ocrats shopld &c deferred from voting
for Judge Perkins, VIE haste 10 assure
them that he mas been cured Of his
