New York Election.

The World of the 18th acknowledges
the defeat of SEYMOUR, and says: 1--WE
have lost the State both on the electoral
vote and on Governor. Every additional
return makes the matter worse. The ma
iority on the wrong side will be small, but
enough. y e ~

There is general expression in the
New Jersey papers in favor Of the election
of Gen. MoOLRLLAN to seat in the United
States Senate, as successor of Mr.. TEN
RYoK. The newly elected Legislature Of
that State is strongly Democratic. The
presence of Gen. MCCLELLAN in the Sem
ate, would be hailed by the Democracy of
the country with great delight His high
toned character, and comprehensive views
Of national affairs would have in snoh Q
position, their full scope and influence.
He would be tower of strength to the
time honored principles Of the National
Democracy, and q healthful power in re
straining the Administration from adopt
ing ill-advised measures. We trust he
may be elected. 1e a 3 9751.

of the execution of the programme laid

We learn from the Faribanlt Repubti-
oan that Judge Donaldson is probably re-
elected by small majority over the Un-
ION candidate GEo. NJ. BAroaELDRR. The
Republican, says: "The official combina-
ton to continue DONALDSON in office was
. strong one, consisting Of the Attorney
General, Secretary of State, State printer,
and probably one OF the State Commits
sioners to take the soldiers votes, besides
a host Of lesser lights in the official firuna-
ment" The re election of DONALDSON
should be regretted by all parties, for he
is VIGOROUSLY incompetent in every re-
spect for the responsible position OF Dis
trict Judge. So long as we have an cleo
tive judiciary the country will often be
cur.ed with pettifoggers and shysters on
the bench. s. Is s.sS

Slavery fires of the North into flame
which has kindled q general coniagra-

Mr.. 6EwARDs political sentiments,
coined into convenient proverbs for public
circulation, produced the precise oondi-
tion Of pot ular feeling which was neces-
sary to bring on q collision - between the
material forces Of the North, b and tho
South, and which has now, under his
leadership obtained such alarming head;
way. The late, popular end rsement, Of
the Administration, devolves, the, entire
responsibility for the issues of the smo-
mentous contest upon the Republican
party. The Democracy have, from the
very first, protested against the organi5a-
ton of . party upon sectional principles,
as they have protested to the very last,
against the unconstitutional measures
which . party thus organized, must
necessarily advocate. as aaaas old.4soq
. The Democracy in fact is an embodied
protest against sectionalism, in whatever
guise it may appear, under whatever
Protean mask it may array ITSELF when
ever it assumes to advance its claims to
power, for the purpose of enforcing upon
q whole people its limited conceptions of
public policy. A sectional party must,
:
from the absolute necessity of the case, be
one of experiments and devices. It cannot
act under a constitution which entirely
ignores the existence Of such a phenomena
as sectionalisln in our politics, without act
ing in an unconstitutional manner. The
Democratic party perceived this from the
beginning, and took their. measures &C.
cordingly. They objected day after day,
month after month, year after Year, to
every violation of constitutional rights by
the party in power. Z +. +
Therefore they are not, cannot, and
will not be responsible for the results of q
war originating in and waged upon Sec
tional principles. They will uphold the
military measures of the administration
for the suppression of the rebellion. But
they will denounce with all the weight Of
additional authority, each new attempt to
subvert the Constitution Of the country.

T The OPEHA HOUSE ExHIBITIoN.--The
last'eXhibition by the Soldiers Aid Society
took place in the Opera House, on Saturday
night. and was well attended, and, SO far a
the ladies were concerned. passed offsuccess-
fully and pleasantly. Unfortunately for
all concerned several stupid Abolitionists
undertook. to be witty by calling of the
names of Gen. Mcclellan and Mr.. Vallandig-
ham in an offensive connection, and as mat
ter of course this attempt only showed the
bad taste and contemplate ignorance of the
authors Of the smart thing. Some weak
minded individual tried to be funny in
using the name of Plutarch Chambers but
everybody thought Plut. has more. sense
than the individual who took this liberty
with the name of an inflrm old man.
We are informed that these disgusting
proceedings were altogether unauthorized,
and we mention the fact that no part of the
public contempt should attach to the really
benevolent ladies connected with the exhi-
bition, and to the end that none of the SYM
pathy they deserve should be withheld
from them on account of some blockheads
impertincnce.

FROM PETERSBURG.

New YORK, Oct. 15.-The Herald's cor
respondent with Gregg's cavalry SAYS; A
| reconnaissance was made by Major McCaby
with two hundred and fifty men of the 18th
pennsylvania, on the night of the 11th, to
ascertain the strength OF the enemy in the
vicinity of Stony Creek station on the South
Side railroad. They passed the rebel pickle,
line, capturing thirteen prisoners, several
mules and horses, and burned two rebel
wagons, and returned without the loss of q
man. The rebel force at Stony Creek was
found to be 1900 infantry and cavalry under
Wade Hampton.
The Times 9th corps correspondent at the
Weldon railroad, Oct. 18th, says: The re-
cent engagement resulted In nothing more
than holding of our picket line, which
was seriously threatened. The firing was
sharp and severe, while the artillery fire be-
came at times very heavy. Very few cas-
ualties occurred. Large numbers of con-
Valescents and recruits are constantly ar
irving, and they appear to be hardy and
intelligent set of men.
The Heralds 9TH corps correspondent
says the total loss in that corps in the Poplar
Grove fight was 2,03l, of whom l,52l were
missing.
New YORK, Oct. 15.-The Heralds 10th
corps correspondent says the rebels are
busy throwing up new line of works
across the Central road about mile out
side of their main line enclosing the city
The statements of Richmond papers that
our infantry were driven in the last fight
are falsehoods. Our infantry were moi
driven single inch, nor did they capture O
single infantry soldier.

SUNDAY NIGHTS DISPATCHES.
FROM PETER SRURG.
Accommodating the Enemy-He Is
Found i'm Strong Position.

New YORK, Oct. 16.-The Herald's cor
respondent from the armies before Rich
mond says: An important reconnaissance
last Thursday by two divisions of the 1lth
Corps, under Terry, proceeded to the right
of our right wing. After advancing some
distance they came upon and drove in the
rebel pickts, and continued Oh to the CEN
tral. or Darbytown road, running up to
Richmond. They had not gone far before
they were met by opposing skirmishers !;
and pressing on, our men found themselves
in front of new and formidable line of
rebel works, strongly garrisoned by Hoke's
and Fields divisions.
These works had been built since the 10th
ult- and were designed to supply the places
of these taken from the rebels then. The
enemy opened on us and severe fight ell
sued. Gen. Terry made an assault on the
Notifications, but deeming it impracticable
to take them, with the force at his disposal,
and having satisfactorily accomplished his
design, returned to camp. AS soon as his
troops commenced to withdraw, the rebels
sailed out and attacked, but they were Sc
verely repulsed, their dead and wounded
thickly strewing the ground. After that
our force was allowed to retire unmolested.
Our loss in killed, wounded and missing
was about four hundred. The enemy sut-
fered to an equal extent.
A portion of the Army of the Potomac
is so near the South Side railroad that
they can hear trains this morning.
FORTRESS MONROE, Oct. 14.-Gen. Butler
sent out Il reconnaissance on the north side
of the James river yesterday. They ad-
vanced two and one-half miles toward
Richmond and returned without loss. They
met small squads of rebels, and only some
slight skirmishes took place.

Alexander III. Stephens on Re
Union.

New YORK, Oct. 15.-A letter purporting
to have been written by Alexander II.
Stephens, of Ga. the rebel Vice President,
in reply to letter from several of his fel-
low citizens, is published. He says no per-
son more ardently desires an end to the
war than he does; but it is not in his power,
nor theirs, to bring that about. He says the
recognition of the sovereignty of States is
the only solution of the trouble. The idea
of maintaining the old Union, orany Union,
by force, is preposterous. The subjugation
of the South by the North would involve
the destruction of the Constitution and the
overthrow of their liberties as well as ours.
Any peace growing out of a Union of States
established by force, will be as ruinous to
them as to us. The action of the Chicago
Convention, so far as its platform of prin-
ciples goes, presents ray Of light which,
under Providence, may prove the dawn of
the day to this long and cherries night.
To convention of States to adjust our
difficulties, have no objection.

Buffers Love or the NigGer-Ex.
tracts from Richmond HsaDers.

New YORK, Oct. 15.-General Butler. be-
coming convinced that our negro soldiers
are put at work in rebel intrenchments. has
notified the rebel authorities that he has al
so put rebel officers and soldiers at work on
Dutch Gap canal. He has also proposed an
exchange of all naval prisoners and trans
mitted statements of our officers that col
ored troops had been murdered after cap
ture by a rebel regiment in front of the Ar
my of the James.
The rebel newspapers of the 18th contain
the following: The Examiner says: Though
Grant is quiet he is not idle, being busy
night and day making his positions impreg-
nable. His next point of attack will be
Brinton road, over which the rebels wagon
their supplies around position held by our
troops on the Weldon railroad.
The Richmond Dispatch says Sherman
was in Nashville when Hood made his bril-
liant flank movement, and is cut off from
his army. JEFF. Davis, in speech before
Hoods army, told Chatham's division to be
of good cheer, for in little while their
faces would be turned homeward and their
feet press Tennessee soil.
Sheridan's destruction of property in the
valley causes great distress, and they
promise themselves abundant retaliation
when they advance again beyond the Poto-
mac. They claim to have captured at least
million of dollars worth of quartermaster
stores in the recent raids in Western Vir-
ginia,
