which has occurred near Chicago. The following
is an extract from letter from passenger On the

the defeat Of John l.. Dawson-pcrhaps the
ablest Opposition Member of Congress from the
Stately Smith Fuller, the Union candidate.
Mr.. Dawson was considerably ahead on the
Home vote. but the soldiers have done the busi'
ness for him. This gives US sirteen out OF the
twenty -four Members from Pennsylvania, with
probability Of beating CoiTro'h, and some
chance of laying out Strouse and Dcnnison. AT
most, tho McClellanites have bnt eight from
Pennsylvania three from Ohio and three from
Indiana-fourtecn in all from the States choosing
their Representatives in October, instead Of
Miriy-three in the present House. These changes
Of themselves suffice to insure the passage
through the next House Of the constitutional
Amendment abolishing Slavery throughout The
