A MAMMOTH RACs.-A race upon the Hud.
son river, by the steamers plying thereon has
hcen proposed by Captain Anderson, of the
Mary Powell, and seconded by some OF the
newspapers. The captain suggests a sweep
stakes Of from 81, 900 to $1,000 per boat the
race to be made without passengers. His idea
is to settle, once and for all, the much-debated
question Of supremacy upon the river. As
each owner claims this for his own vessel, the
arrangement will probably be made. The
boats are the Daniel Drew, Mary Powell, G.
Vibbard r. Colyer, and Armenia. The Powell
seems to be the more general fayorite, and 1t
Ia confidently believed that, in the event Of .
race, she will prove victorious.

The New York Errress, edited by that sweet.
scented specimen ofa Northern born rebel
Booby Brooks-copies the above extract, and
straightway proceeds to conceal JET Davis
infamy on the subject OF exchange Of prison
ers by the following declaration, which Is in
whole and in all It's parts utterly false. Here
ii is;
Let Il be understood that every one of these
suffering patriots could be exchanged within
week, and restored TO their friends and relatives
In the North-if Mr.. Lincoln would only con-
sent to exchange phits man for irhite man. 1t
Is nothing but Mr.. Lincoln's fastidiousness on
and for the negro, that keeps these poor suffer
ers, month after month, In rebel dungeons.
Such q declaration is made in face of the
record that every effort within the power Of
the President has Teen made to procure the
earliest exchange Of our imprisoned soldiers,
without reference to color, and, II they could
not be exchanged, to procure for them as de-
cent treatment rhers they are as rebel prisoners
receive from the Government Of the United
States. Jet. Davis has refused all this, aud
BoOOy Brooks, the black hearted rascal, sustdins
hin in Il, at the expense of our poor imprisoned,
sick, suffering and dying soldiers !
In spite Of JEFF. Davis and Brooks, we arc
glad to know that some of our generals, under
special directions from the President, have
managed to effect the exchange OF many pris.
oners.
Reader, mark the Infamous language of the
New York Express quoted above and remember
that 1t Is one OF the principal organs in New
York of George B. Mcclellan. Brand all such
traitors wherever they show their coppery
heads.

The Raid In west virginia.

From the Wheeling In'elligencsr, oct.
The following telegram was received on Sat-
urday afternoon by Gov. Boreman;
GRAFTON. October 1.-Capt. Hagans reports
the rebels retreating by way OF Bulltown. The
following is an extract from Captain Hagans's
dispatch "Much property has been carried
off. Their conduct was such as characterizes
nothing but robbers. They robbed stores and
private houses, carry ing of the clothing Of
men, women, and children-in some cases
compelling women to take of their shoes and
stockings. Their horses were loaded down
with stolen property. Many Of the citizens
were robbed of their money. Rebel and Union
citizens Jared alike. The loss 10 this county
(Upshur) cannot be less than forty thousand
dollars. Their entire conduct was OF the most
shameful character" b. T. KELLKI,
Brevet Major General.
When the rebels entered Weston on their late
raid they had telegraph operator with them.
They telegraphed to Clarksburg, asking what
force was there. The operator at ClarksburR,
thinking 1t was all right, telegraphcd the truth
as far as he knew. But subsequently suspect
ing that all was not right, telegraphed that
reinforcement of two regiments had Just ar
rived. This saved Clarksburg.

LOOK FOR CASARDs.-Ye esterday brought US
an ingenious Copperhead electloneering dodge
from Delaware. A dispatch was sent hither to
operate upon our elections, announcing that at
the election held In that State the Democrats
had carried all three of the counties. Now, the
truth is, that the only officers were judges and
inspectors Of elections. Wherever the party
majorties were very large, Of course the voting
was without any interest. No mAjoritics by
cOunties could be made, because there were no
other officers 10 be elected than those we have
named. The Republicans have lost no pre-
cincta, and that was the only point to DO looked
to. Yet out of this petty aff iir the Copperheads
have attempted to manufacture a victory, be
cause there is now no time left TO procure In
formation to contradict it.-Thad. North Amer
