NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Richmond papers OF
as late as Wednesday arrived. Gen. Early
has issued an address to his soldiers on
their late defeat by Sheridan, in which he

The Alleged Election Frauds-The
Trial.

New YORK, Oct. 29.-Owing to the storm
last night the proceedings in the case of the
alleged election frauds on soldiers could not
be transmitted over the wires. The follow
ing is brief summary of the proceedings:
Donahue, one of the prisoners admitted
that he had signed certain blanks with the
name of G. G. Arthur, Captain and Aid-de-
Camp, and no others, but claimed 1t was no
crime, as there was no such officer in the
service. He also denied the jurisdiction of
the Commission. The Judge Advocate
claimed that the court had Jurisdiction, and
said the offense was in violation of General
Order 260. The court decided that it had
Jurisdiction.
o. X. Wood, of West Chasey, Clinton
county. was sworn on the part of the Gov
ernment He was agent of the Union Com
mittee of his county. He had his suspi-
cions aroused while on visit to Fort Nc
Henry, and finally went to Mr.. Ferry, State
Agent, representing himself as Mcclellan
agent Here he soon learned that when
Lincoln votes were sent there from the SOL
diers they were changed for Mcclellan
votes, and he was assured that there was
more of this done than he thought of. The
witness then detailed the operation of fill
ing up the blanks, &C., and much other in
formation, showing systematic frauds
While in Ferry's office, two soldiers came in,
signed power of attorney, and each placed
Union electoral tickets within Democratic
State tickets, in envelopes, but Ferry alb
stracted the Union and substituted Demo-
cratic electoral tickets. Wood then in
formed the Provost Marshal of the business.
A number of letters, &C., seized in Ferry's
Office, were exhibited. The letters are all
enigmatical, and contain no admissions of
frauds. The names of Peter Cagger, III.
Cromwell of Albany, and 4. Newcomb, of
Albany, frequently occur in the letters
After an address by the Judge Advocate,
the case of Donahue was announced as
closed and the room cleared for the Com
mission to deliberate upon it. Their decis-
ion was arrived at in an hour, but it goes to
the President for approval before being
made public.
Mr.. Newcomb, under oath, made state
ment that he was commissioned by Gov.
Seymour to take the votes in Baltimore and
Washington. He saw Donahue, Wood and
Ferry writing out powers of attorney and
proxies at Ferry's office. In some cases he
saw officers names put in at Donahue's re-
quest. He filled in dates, &C., of power of
attorney, and affidavits, to which Donahue
had signed names.
Donahue made statement that what he
had done was foolishly done, and without
any knowledge or idea of the consequences.
He appealed to the Court to view his case
with leniency.

Grants Army I'm NHOtiOn-The
South Side Road the Object Of

| Attack.
New YORK, Oct. 20.-The Tribune's cor
respondent at Warren's station, dating the
9th, says:
This morning the entire army is in mo-
| tion, with six days rations and ammunition
for any emergency. The movement Is a
left flank, and on the extreme left Gregg's
cavalry is swinging around towards the
South Side railroad and the AppomattoX.
Then comes the 9th corps in martial array,
the first division tapping the cavalry with
rattling artillery, and the other divisions
extending to the 9th corps, upon the Sd and
right division of which, as upon pivot, the
revolving line is turning; while the two
divisions of the I'd corps are keeping time
with the movement as measure. The i'm
mediate objective point of the movement is
the South Side railroad and the AppomattoX
river, In a circle of existing fortified line.
Our line being once extended to the river,
with this natural barrier between ours and
the main rebel army, it will be a very easy
matter, as will be seen by reference to the
map, to keep the Danville railroad on the
South side of the Appomattox constantly
cut by cavalry raids. 1t is impossible to
foresee at what point the movement will
stop, but | do not think the plan is to
extend the movement, particularly at this
time, further than to the Appomatox.
Then the Danville railroad south Of the
Appomattox will naturally be the next OBJ
jective point of attack.
Gen. Grant has just arrived from City
Point with four orderlies and two days ra-
/ tions OF sandwiches, &c. He Yesterday
sent all his bodyguard of cavalry to join
Gregg's cavalry on the extreme left. The
skirmishing has already commenced, as the
train that bears this leaves for City Point.

BURGLARIEs IN MADISON CoUNTY-Our
neighboring county of Madison appears to
be greatly afflicted with burglars just now.
A short time ago Mr.. Geo. Kians was shot
by burglar who entered his house, and
has since died OF his wounds. On Tuesday
morning last, according to The London Dem
ocrat, the grocery store of Wildman 6 Rid
die in that place was entered by burglars,
and an iron safe In which their money was
kept, was blown open and about 500 in
money stolen. The scoundrels entered by
prying open the back door with an axe, and
wrenching open sliding middle door, which
must have taken considerable labor to ac-
complish. The safe was at the end of the
counter near the front door, and was obvi-
ously torn open by an explosion of
gunpowder, a small hole being drilled
through the iron door for that purpose.
The safe is complete wreck. The glass of
the show window was nearly all broken by
the explosion. The money was mostly in
greenbacks, about $50 being in fifty cent
shinplasters. The noise of the explosion
was heard by several of the adjoining resi-
dents, but not much attention was paid to it.

NEW York, Oct. 29.--The Commercials

staff write that the late movement was only
reconnaissance, and point has been
gained which will make the next movement
one of the greatest importance, and it is
hoped of brilliant success.

mand in the army. Bragg has been sent to
Wilmington, whereupon the Charleston

as a reconnaissance to obtain knowledge Of
the situation and strength of therebel lines.
