The Election.

So tar as returns claiming any degree OF
reliability have been received, they are gen
orally encouraging. In Pennsylvania it is
claimed that the home vote gives the Dem
ocrstic ticket about five thousand majority,
This insures the success of MCCLELLAN in
tbdt State in November, for even if the
army vote should carry the Republican
ticket at this election by ten thousand, it
cannot be denied that General MCCLELLAN
is ten thousand stronger than any local
ticket AZ home, and fifteen or twenty thou
sand stronger in the army than the Demo-
cratic ticket which has just been voted.
Pennsylvania may be relied upon for a ma
jority of twenty thousand for MCCLELLAN.
Erom Ohio the returns are very meagre
as yet The report that the Republicans
have elected Is or IL out of the 19 Con.
gressmen to which Ohio ia entitled, is, of
course, q mere guess, it being altogether too
soon to hear from many of the Districts.-
A private dispatch assures US that the
Republican majority in the State will not
exceed $4,000, being Democratic gain Of
about $4,000 on the home vote of last year.
Owing to the gerrymander," Cox and
several other Democratic Congressman are
defeated. In the Belmont District White
is elected over Bingham by nearly 1000
majority in the home vote. .a.sg
Under military rule Indiana has been
made to cast an Abolition majority of per
haps $4,000, which would have been about
the majority on the other side had fair
expression Of opinion been allowed
A private dispatch from Altoona, Pa, an
nounces Democratic gain of 600 in Blair
county, and 500 in Huntingdon. In Alle-
ghehy county the Democrats hav. gained
ABOUT 1000, 4 81. ..... ........
In the Twenty fourth District, Pa.
Washington county, &c.), LAWRENCE
Abolition,1s probably elected over LAzEAR,
Democrat, by about 500 majority. .
The above are the latest returns we have
received up to the hour of going to press,
but We DO not vouch for their entire accu-
racy.~ 81 81 "" o. FL e.

MIR. PendletOn's Record.
w AsHINGToN, October


A letter from an intimate friend of Mr..
Pendleton, of Ohio, was received here to
day, in which allusion is made to the Re-
publican document issued, giving Pendle-
toms record while in Congress. Some por
tons are denounced as unmitigated forgcr-
les, and that portion of his speech made
during the first war Congress, in which he
declared that he would vote for all means
and men to maintain the integrity of the
government, but that he would not coun-
tenance schemes of plumber on the Treas
ury, is entirely omitted, as is also the fact
that speakers Grow and Colfax, each over
looking all claims of their Republican
friends, placed Mr.. Pendleton next to the
chairman Of Ways and Means Commi tee
in both this and the last Congress, where
be performed most arduous labor in per
fecting the army and navy, and tax, and
tariff bills,

SPEECH
The people of Beading were determined
to have some political discussions this fall.
SO they called a meeting for last evening
and invited Mr.. Pendleton to address them
The meeting was large and spirited The
best spirit prevailed. Mr.. Pendleton spoke
at soTe length. He was among his old
friends and constituents, and be intended
to speak to them confdingly aud plainly
He said that he believed the present un
happy condition of the country might have
been, and ought to have been, prevented BY
a reasonable and fair compromise during
the winter of 1860 81 that then tue tide
of nadness might have been stayed, and
South 0Arolina would have trodden ALONE
the dreary paths Of secession. But when
war was commenced by the bombardmenl
of Fort Sumter, and the threatened attack
on the city Of Washington, and was &C.
copied by the federal government, be re-
ceived it as fact, and was prepared to act
in view of its existence He had determined
to support tie constituted authorities of the
country in all measures nscessarp to maintain

Western Virginia.
4 NHEADoUARfERs DER. OF THE OHIO,

= To the Union Men of Western Virginia.
VRarNIANs:-The General Government
has long enough suffered the Vaccinations of
few factious rebels in your midst, Armed
traitors have in vain endeavored to deter
you from expressing your loyalty Of. the
polls. Having failed in this infamous at
tempt to deprive you Of the exercise Of
your dearest lights, they now seek to iTh
augurate reign of terror and thus. force
you to yield to their schemes and submit
to the yoke of the traitorous conspiracy
di9nifed by the name of the Southern Con
federacy. They are destroying the property
Of the citizens Of your State, and running
your magnificent railways. The General
Government has heretofore carefully ab-
stained from sending troops across the
Ohio or even from posting them along its
banks, although frequently urged to
do 30 by many of your most prom nent
citizens. 1t determined to wait the re>
suit of the late election, DESTROYS that
no one might be able to say that
the slightest effort has been made
from this side to influence the free express
sion of your opinions, although the many
agencies brought to bear upon you by the
the rebels were we'll known. You have
now shown under the most adverse circum-
stances that the great mass of the people OF
Western Virginia are true and loyal to that
benefceut government under which we and
our fathers have lived 30 long. As soon as
the result of the election was known the
traitors commenced their work Of destrue>
ton. The general Government cannot
close its ears to the demand you have made
for assistance. l have ordered troops to
cross the Ohio river. They come as your
friends and brothers, as enemies only to
the armed rebels who are preying upon
you. Your homes, your families and your
property are safe under our protection. All
your rights shall be religiously respected,
Notwithstanding all that has been said by
the traitors to induce you to believe that
our advent among you will be signalized by
interference with your slaves. Understand
one thing clearly. Not only will we abstain
from all such interference, but we will, on
the contrary, with an iron hand crush any
attempt at insurrection on their part now
that we are in your midst. l call upon
you to fly to arms an support the general
government, sever the connection that
binds you to traitors, proclaim to the world
that the faith and loyalty so long boasted
by the Old Dominion are still preserved in
Western Virginia, and that you remain
true to the stars and stripes.

Three men dressed in Federal uni

this city, by Capt Regain, the military
conductor. They wore the straps of
Captain, First Lieutenant and Second
Lieutenant They had no papers and
Capt Regan's suspicious were aroused
from the contradictory stories that they
told They said their leave of absence
was granted by their Colonel and that
they had lost the papers. Capt Regain
transferred them to the down train and
sent them under guard to this city,
where their straps were cut off and they
imprisoned until their cases could be
examined 1t is supposed that they
are bounty jumpers who have stolen
their uniforms and were endeavoring to
escape. Capt Regain deserves credit
for his promptness and decision in
making the arrests. tits no asy matter
for suspicious characters to deceive
Capt r., he knows his business too well
for that.

ton of City officers.
