Tho New Hnmpahfre State Election.
Correspondence Philadelphia Press,l :

WAaHISGToN, Feb. O, 1864.
The first State Election in this, the Presi-
dental year, will be decided in New Hamp-
ehire early in the coming March. It is the
evident determination Of the Copperhcad
leaders there to make desperate effort; to
defeat the friends of the Union. For myself,
I entertain no donbt that the result Wi1libe
the success Of the Union ticket; bnt, to make
tue victory sure and complete, every patriotic
election several thousand War Democrats re-
fuscdto go with the usuTped organization Of
the old pro-slayery party, and voted for Colo
mel Walter Hartman for Governor, a Demo
c1at then, and now ut the head Of his regi-
ment In the field. In the contest soon to
come Oft, in March. there will be but two
Government md The war, and that nomina-
ted by the leaders who are opposed to both.
If the people Of New Hampshire were sound
and loyal In the former elections, subsequent
events ought to make them them even more
thorough and enthusiastic on the same side
What will serve to encourage the friends Of
the good cause will be the presence Of num-
eers Of the veterans who have fought for
their country in the late glorious struggles,
and who will return home to vote for the
candidates aud the party that so fear1essly
sustDined them In their absence. J learn that
such eloquent champions Of the good cause,
heretofore sometimes numbered with tho
EcAtlA Opptslt4uu aS olu-l1ut WHY'S VI o1A-
line Democrats, 'as Col F. Montgomery of
Mississippi. Col CAN'T, Of .Arkansaa;; Hon
Greene Clay Smith, Of Kentucky, hon. Win
ter Davis, Of Maryland, Hon. Richard Busted
md Hon. Daniel s. Dickinson, Of New York,
will address the masses OF New Hampshire.
This great element Of powerhas worked wpn-
ders wherever it has been set In motion. No
honest Democrat can resist the appeals Of
such men: In Ohio, New York, Penusy1va-
nia, and Connecticut, they met the sophis-
tries and falsehoods Of the Copperheads, and
diesipated and destroyed them The choice
Of a United statca senotor to serve for 'si1
dent upon the result, and will give zest and
fire to the canvass. It is an election IN which
Tho deepest interest is felt by all who desire
to see the Administration strengthened aud
fortified in the midst Gifts many trials.

SIGE1FICANTACK
We publish elsewhere the substance of a
debate in the rebel Congress, which develops
some points Of interest, and makes some ac-
Acknowledgements which have IN air Of sinceri-
ty about them. In the course Of the debate
on strengthening the army, Mr.. Smith of
North CarolIna stated that there wero 400, 900
men on their muster rolls, andprobably about
200, 900 In the field, and that they were unable
10 feed that fractional part. Mr. Chambers,
Of Virginia, said there was rs great def
cheney Of clothing as of food Mr. Good, Of
tho same State, asserted upon official author
l,y that Virginia connd not stand another
draft Subsequently bill passed after de-
butte "to increase the efficiency Of the army
by the employment Of free negroes and slaves
in certain capacities" Under this bill all free
negroes are liable to perform duties with the
army, upon Notifications nnd in hosp}tals
Section 2 Of the bill authorizes the Secretary
Of war to employ elaves for such service as
he may direct
These points, coming in IN official shapc,
arc significant. The rebels are driven to a
corner for the means Of feeding their army or
the fractional part Of the army which 10 in

slave. Bnt II they cannot feed the white men
already in the field how are they going to
feed the additional leyies Of fblacks, who hive
hitherto fed them. The whole debate is q
significant exhibit OF the hopelessness oftheir
cause. They arc losing filth in 1t uensel.
ves; their friends in Europe have lost faith
in them, and now that they are TO employ the
negro, their northern friends, the copper
heads, will lose faith in them, and pronounce

Artcmus Ward Among the nIormona

Artcmus Ward Among the mormons.
A letter received by friend in this city
from a correspondent ut Great Salt Lake.
Utah Territory, tells Of the doings Of Arte-
mus Ward amongst "the Saints in the
wilderness. The following Is an extract:
s'Artemus Ward-the man who makes
"goaks," is out here lecturing and exciting
considerable stir among our saintly popula-
tion. His great lecture will be given to-
night, IN the Salt Lake City Theatre,-tho
largest theatre anywhere West Of the Rocky
mus will have IT full. for every. seat has al
ready been sold. Not all them for cash how
ever, that not being our way Of doing busi-
ness; but for potatoes, wheat, barley, onions

full Of corn,- some hundreds Of bushels
feed al the poor Of ireland, Besides
considerable share Of green-backs.

chunks of silver from Nevada Territory. As
. matter Of course he will convert all his
"produce" into coin ornotes before be leavea
and sell his pigs in the best market. 1magg-
Inc the husband Of Betscy Jane" dealer
in pigs! Imagine, Artemus Ward manufac-
turing "goaks y into porcine quadrupeds and
living bladders. of lArd! Artemus has be-
come great friend Of President Brigham
Young, but his conduct towards the Presl-
dent is giving rise to much scandal. Brigham
as ron Know, has many wives with any num-
Der Of children, and the story-how true 1t is
/ do not pretend to say-is to tho effect that
Artelnns fs visiting the harem oftha Prophet,
has beguiled the. affections Of Ills fhirest
daughter. He may take her with him to Gill
cago, and II so, you will have sight Of one
our chief Mormon beauties. The subject is
tabooed here, but the rnmor is rife. Anyhow
when Artemus Ward next VISIT you and gives
lecture, the probability is that he will have
