CT course we are unable to give any
thing oliolal concerning tho soldiers vote,
yet enough is known to Indicate, pretty
certainly the election Of Mr. Ashley to
Congress. The Pauldiug GaslHe has pri-
vato information from tho 6Sth Regiment,
and says it has given Mr.. Ashley ,fce hun.
bred majority. Colonel Bond, of the llltl
Regiment u. day or two since returned to
Toledo, and said that in Shermor's army
Mr.. Ashley had .fee kuaired M Uoriiy.
There is also tho scattering vote n hosp
tails, camps, &C., which in every instance
yet heard from, has been favorable to Mr..
Ashley. Unless reports are greatly exag-
gerated, and we believe our figures are low,
Mr. Ashley is elected by at least from
three to five hundred majority.
We are glad to confess that we have
not yet heard of regiment, company, OF
squad of soldiers from this District that
has disgraced itself--not single one yet
heard from has givon a majority for CGloael
Rice.
We have heard persons in this vicinity
very Indignantly say, that if they had re.
coived such flaymg as Ashley did, at
the hands of tho people at home, they
would never claim tho Office, even thougl
elected by tho soldiers. This gives rise
to tho question as to which is worse-For
civilian to be beaten nino hundred ans
thirty votes in his District, or Cor "gal
liant officer" to DO politically soalped bJ
his fellow soldiers? Tho official count may
show that thore is not much to brag abou
on either side, but we are confident tha
neither Colonel Rice or his friends will b,
able to discover where the laugh come,
mw
The result of this elcction--if il has re
suited as we have reason to helieve-show,
that tho soldiers cannot be deceived
They understand the fact that il take
something more than the loss OF a leg ant
gunshot wound to dt q man for Congress
they have established tho fact that a MAJ
must be the exponent of loyal principles t,
secure their votes, aud they have further
shown that they have no more hesitation
in turning their backs upon a gallant so

As this letter was intended to deceive

Capture of Rebel Dog, Carrying Dis
patches.

An officer who came up from City Point
brought with him an ugly specimen of the
genus canine, which he guarded very care
fully. The dog, it appears, was a great pet
with both our own and the rebel pockets in
front Of Hancock's corps. Tho dog had
been trained to carry messages between
the pickets.
A rebel paper would bo placed in his
mouth and he would scamper of to the
Union lines, deliver up the paper and re-
entrusted with packages of coffee and to.
bacco, and always delivered them prompt
ly and safely.
The rebels, however, tried to make use
of him for transmitting information from
one portion of their lines to another, and
tho four-egsed messenger having been
caught with one of those messages, he was
conlisca!ed and brought North.
