The returns of the late election,n now IN
the possession of this Committee, enable
it to announce that Pennsylvania has de.
eided against all armistices, and attempts
1t peace until rebellion is broken and
treason disarmed True to its past histo-
iy, the Keystone State arrays herself by
the side of Ohio and Indianna, aud pro-
Claims to the world her confidence in an
Administration true to the Union of the
States, and her Intention TO sustain that
Administration in power until the Union
is restored. The Union party have car
ried the State, gained three members of
Congress, aud elected majority of both
Houses of the Legislature, on the home
vote, and the soldiers vote as far as re-
ceivcd indicates the gain of two more
members of Congress, and clear Union
majority Of fifteen thousand votes. This
is uiost gratifying result, aud should I'll
the heart of every loyal man with joy
Its importance cannot be over estimated,
in view of the fact that some seventeen
thousand soldiers who came home last
yexr ard voted for Governor Curtin arc
now absent with the army and are yet to
lie heard from. Besides, it is computed
that under the last call Of the President.
and within the past few months, twenty
three thousand of our citizens have gone
forth to the field These men are scatter
el over the whole country, and owing to
the active operations now in progress it
has been impossible for the commissioners
appointed for that purpose to obtain all
their votes. Thousands and thousands
OF votes have thus been lost to the Union
rorty, which party can only be depended
on TO feed the army with fighting material
Under these circumstances the Committee
regard the victory achieved as grand
triumph, aud congratulate the country
upon it. The reelection of Mr. Lincoln
is certain. Ia November the State will
give a greatly increased majority. There
will be but two tickets, and party lines
will be mere distinctly drawn. No local
Icalousics or differences will divide our
friends, and, united on the great issue.
Pennsylvania will poll vote for Lincoln
and johnson which will prove that she is
second to none Of her sister States in de-
votion to the Federal Government.

higher rate Of interest than any other, and
the best security. Any savings bank which
pays its depositors in U. S. Notes, considers
that it is paying in the best circulating me-

anything better, for its own assets are either
in government securities or in notes or bonds

1t is equally convenient asa temporary or

PHILADELPHIA Friday. Aug. %. 1854
The Bunetia has the following special dispatch:
In The FIELD, August Is, 1864.
Yesterday reconnaissance was made by q de-
tachmont from Gen. Crooks command, to ascertain
the strength and position of tho enemy in our front
This forco was instructed to move quickly on tho
right of the enemys skirmish line and, If possible,
get in their rear whilst another force moved out to
attract their attention in front.
Duyal moved his force 10 the front, and advanced
in two battalion lines keeping his rear IA much as
possible under cover, to prevent the enemy from as
pertaining his str ngth or probable intentions
He had not proceeded far when no encountered
the advance of the enemy's skirmish hno who were
under cover Of rail pens, hastily thrown up, each
afIording shelter for five or six men.
As soon az the enemy's advanced limo discovered
the approach Of force they hastily retired to
cornfed in the rear, where sportion Of their reserve
was stationed, and who we're immediately drawn up
to resist our further advance.
Col. Dugal continued to move forward, and got
nearly four hundred yards in their rear, When sud-
denly discovering hin, they wheeled into line and
opened heavy fire on his flank, compelling hun
TO change front and force our line to the right.
As soon as the enemy became convinced that we
medltated an attack on his skirmish line, they
brought reinforeements rapidly forward from the
direction Of Chares,own, and an artillery duel was
commenced which lasted for about twenty minutes,
whom tbe onomy's battery was withdrawn.
Our forces then fell back, having accomplished
all that was intended with the exception Of the cap
ture OF the encmys entire skirnish line. We, how
ever, took about 30 prisoners.
The prisoners captured state that Rhodes and
Rsmsen's Divisions are detached for picket duty In
our immediate 'front.' ard that the rest OF the rebel
forces under Early are at Charlestown.
Tho total loss In Crook command llnot exceed
a. wounded and six killed.
| After we fll back yesterday the enemy resumed
his old position, and picket firing was kept up IN
/ III dark.

The extreme left of our line has been extended

and they wore discovered in heavy cavalry force,
about three miles from Reoams Station, aud q

There was not so much confidence prevailed IN the

universal-from the commanding officer, down.-A

take place any hour, and must before many days.
Gen. Barow has gone home on sick leave. Gen.
