Frauds upon the Soldiers Vote.

Government officials have detected
the most astounding frauds perpetra-
ted upon the ballots of the soldiers of
New York regiments by the Seymour
Mcclellan Commissioners. 1t appears
that after the soldiers had voted, the
Lincoln votes were taken out and
those for Mcclellan and Seymour sub
stitutcd. One box over three feet long,
containing many thousand of the fraud
ulent votes, has been seized. Others
are known to have been sent to New
York. The developments in this case
promise to be of the most startling
character. Edward Donaho, Jr., of
Albany, Peter Kirby, Of Lewis coun-
ty, and DIR. Jones, of New York city,
voting agents, have been arrested by
the Provost Marshal, and are having
their examinations at Baltimore by
military commission. Moses X. Fer
ry, the n. Y. voting agent at Balti.
more, also arrested, has made con-
fession, saying that he has been forg-
ing large number of votes and gives
the names Of the parties who assisted
him. Several prominent persons are
said to be implicated, but their names
are not given. The New York state
agent in Washington was arrested
and his Office closed.
1t is evident that Gov. Seymour and
his strikers have looked to the army
vote to save New York. Bitter will
be the Indignation of our soldiers at
this outrage. Righteous will be the
wrath of the people of the North not
sodden in the iniquitics Of the Peace
Sneak faction. More bitter and more
righteous will be the punishment these
guilty and confessed wretches will re-
,eive at the hands of the constituted
authorities. Even hemp is too good
'or them.

The rebel feet in James river has
had taste from our shore batteries.
The wooden part Of it fed speedily to
the protection Of Fort Darling. The
iron-clads, however. showed fight, and
returned shot for shot, until finding it
getting uncomfortable and unsafe,
they steamed up the river out of range.
The result of the whole affair was
some damage to the rebel fleet and
driving it permanently mile further
up the river. Our damage was the
loss Of a leg by one Of our men.

The Canadians are represented as
vigilant in endeavoring to hunt out the
st. Adams robbers, and we have faith
to believe they arc earnest in il. Those
of the robbers arrested claim to be-
long TO the Confederate service, and
demand that the robbery shall be held
as an act Of war This would no
doubt be very agreeable construction
to them, but we believe it is not GUS
tomary to SO consider acts of murder,
burglary or highway robbery.
