Surgeon and sixteen men of the pirate Flor

The pirate was captured by the United

GERS and fifty eight men, and without the
loss of man ol~our side. The Wacl:usett

The Florida arrived at Bahia Bay, San
Salvador, on the night of the 7th. The
Wachusett was also in the -harbor, waiting
for coal. Captain Collins determined to
sink the Florida in port, and at three O'Clock
steered for her, hitting her on the quarter,
without doing much damage. Capt Col
Inns now called out to surrender OF he would
sink her. The lst Lieutenant of the Flori-
pa replied that, under the circumstances, he
would surrender The Florida was towed
to sea Some of her crew were ashore. No
lives were lost. Twelve officers and fifty

We have not space. to give the mass of
Telegraphic returns from the various States.
Suffice it to say that enough have been re-
ceived to place the election of the Union
Candidates beyond a donbt.
The Chicago Tribune of yesterday says:
1.-THE returns already received indicate
with sufficient clearness that the canfdent-
ly expected triumph of the Union party has
been won There is little room for doubt
that Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson
will receive the electoral votes of every
Northern State with possible single ex-
ception of Kentucky. The only State that
can fairly be conceded to Mcclellan is Ken
lucky.
Beginning at home, Chicago has given a
magnificent majority for Lincoln and John :
son, Oglesby and Bross, Wentworth an
Eastman.
The entire returns from Illinois indicate
that our majority in 1860 has been exceed
ed, and that Illinois has gained five Con-
gressn.en, and has gone for the Union by a
majority of 10000. Indiana is reported as
good for 80, 900. Ohio will scale the lofty
height of 100, 900, beating Mcclellan by q
majority as heavy as that given against
the infamous Vallandigham. The copper.
heads are driven out of New York city with
majority not exceeding 10000. AS the
returns received indicate that the remainder
of the State has risen to the full Republican
majority given in 1850, there can be no doubt
that the great Empire State has secured hel
thirty electoral votes to Lincoln anc
johnson by 10000 to $4,000 majority.

While Chicago and many other western
cities have given unnstakable proof of 10y
atty on Tuesday last, Milwaukee has again
overwhelmed itself in disgrace, and demon
strated that it's population are of the disloy-
al stripe, and like JEFF Davis better than
Lincoln. Milwaukee has suffered largely in
its business interests during the past two
years; blight has rested on the city; men
of capital, intelligence and moral worth,
have declined to make investments in real
estate, or expenditures in improvements -
The coppery atmosphere ofthe place, seems
better suited to small dealers in fsh-hooks
and muskrat traps. The loyal farmers and
business men of the surrounding country,
shun Milwaukee, and turn their trade else
where. While the brewing of beer, the null
tiplication Of little saloons, and the growing
of cabbage, has undoubtedly been consid-
erably increased during the past few years,
Gilo Hiore SuDSGduCldl liltoTeSCS Oh Tile Guy
have not advanced, but most inevitably de-
clined.
These statements are no Islander on Mil
waukee; We kn0w whereof we speak when
we say that large numbers of the most re-
spectacle men of that city, agree with us in
the sentiment of these remarks. They see
and acknowledge the tide of enlightened
public sentiment is setting against the city,
that capitalists of the right stamp cannot be
induced to indemnity their interests in such
reasonable locality-they deplore this con
ditition Of things, bat cannot help it.

Rebel Account of the Sinking of the Abe
7a vu marie. H4

New YORK, Nov 1.-THE Richmond pa
pers Of the 4th have the following concern
ing the sinking Of the Albemarle and the
capture Of Plymouth, N. c.:
The Dj$patch says: ''The capture OF
Plymouth, n. c., by the enemy, is explain
ed by later accounts. A lack of sufficient
watchfulness seems to have been the prime
cause Of the loss Of the town. 1t seems that
on Thursday night party of Is men, be-
longing to the hlockading feet in Albemarle
Sound, some eight or ten miles from Ply
mouth, took a small torpedo boat and start
ed for Plymouth. On the way they found a
small boat containing six of our men, in the
river stationed there as picket guard but
all of them being asleep, they were taken
prisoners. Then proceeding to Plymouth,
they found the Albemarle at her wharf, and
running their torpedo boat under her amid
ship, blew her up, causing damage from
which she soon sunk. Infantry was station
ed on the wharf, who fired on the assaulting
party, and after the Albemarle sunk, captur-
ed the whole of them, but no one was killed,
and only one man wounded. There was no
force Of the enemy near Plymouth with the
exception of five or six gunboats on the
Sound; but the loss of the Albemarle open
ed the. Roanoke to them, and hence the fall
of the town. Capt. Roberts, it is stated
commanded the Albernarle. 1t is understood
that there were no lives lost on the Abe
marie, and there were very few men on board
at the time of the explosion of the torpedo

The E2BEL DEBT.-Mr. Trenholm, the
rebel Secretary of the Treasury, represents
the funded and unfunded debt of the Con-
federacy, on the LIST of July last, at $3.50
100000. The expenses from the 1st of July
to the 31st of December are estimated at
about 1925, 600, 600, making an aggregate of
81, 575, 600, 600 The annual interest on
this debt is over 500, 900, 600. AS the pres
ent population the States in rebellion does
not probably amount to over eight millions
Of persons, the tax on each man, woman
and child, white and black, to pay this in
terest viii be $12, 40. The ability of the i'm
poverished South to meet the expense may
be inferred from the fact that commerce and
trade are paralyzed, and that such is the
state of the currency that, as Mr.. Trenholm
indirectly confesses, fifteen thousand dollars
in gold is equivalent in Richmond to three
hundred thousand dollars in currency.

SHAMEFUL NEGLECT. are informed
by citizen of the town Of Sonlers, who had
full list of the voters in that town, that
over sixty neglected to come to the polls on
Tuesday last. Most of these persons, it is
believed, stayed away from the polls with
out any good excuse whatever. Such gross
neglect of a public duty, is morally crimi-
nal, and those who are guilty of it, should
be ashamed of their conduct. We have
many instances of men who left profitable
employment and came home, travelling five
hundred, and some a thousand miles, to do
a duty to their country by their vote Yet
scores of men not an hours walk from the
polls in the town of Somers, and perhaps in
other towns in this county, care so little
about saving the life of the nation, that they
allow the husking of corn, or other trifling
matters to keep them from the polls Shame
