The result OF the election in this county
last Tuesday is highly gratifying to the
friends of General MCCLELLAN. Asa DEM
onstration of their strength it has equalled
the expectations of all, and inspired all
with confidence in the existence in this
county of very handsome majority, op-
posed to Mr.. LINcoLN's Administrations
Look at the figures: In the State election,
on the 9th, the aggregate vote cast for the
MCCLELLAN ticket was 1,458; the vote
cast for MCCLELLAN last Tuesday was
2,007, showing an increase Of $40 votes.-
Now, when it is remembered that the ma
jority for the Republican ticket in the State
election was only 367, it will at once be
seen that at that time we were beaten By
our own default. In the election on Tues
day, it is said that about 600 soldiers votes
were received and counted. This was
nearly all for LINCOLN, from the fact that
the MCCLELLAN men sent no commissioners
to the Army to receive the vote, and very
few, ifany, MCCLELLAN tickets were allow
cd to come to the bands of the soldiers
As it is, the LINCOLN majority in Ohio coun
ty j. only l27, showing conclusively that,
on the home vote, MCCLELLAN carried the
county by a very handsome majority
Take courage, friendsl You do not stand
alone. This vote reveals that more than one
half Of the citizens Of this county are your
political associates.
From the figures given above it may be
seen that tie Democratic ticket may easily
be elected at the charter election on the 1st
Of January. Determine that it shall be
done and it will be achieved. We have
learned in the past elections, the value of
having superinteo dents of elections friendly
TO the success of our ticket. Let as there
fore see to it, in the t2wnship elections
next spring that at least just proportion
of Democratic election officers is chosen,
and the results of our foresight will be ap.
parent in the fall of next year. To attain
these results. it Is highly important for
the MCCLELLAN party to maintain its
organization. We would suggest that new
committees be appointed to relieve those
have laborsd so arduously and so we'll in
10 the past campaign, and TO attend, during
the year. to the various duties devolved up
on them. The McCLELLAs Clubs should
continue to meet regularly, at least once in
two weeks, and stand prepared to meet
whatever emergency may arise. By no
means let the organization dissolve into its
original elements, but By oil means, main
tain Its completeness and its power.

Alexander HI. Stephens Q
Peace. -.sa J ~ !

The Richmond Wig Of the lst instant
contains the following letter of Mr.. Stephens,
the Vice President Of the Southern Oonfed,
eracy, to Mr.. William King, who was the
bearer of the message OF Gen. Sherman, in
viting Mr.. Stephens to conference on the
subject of peace: j.. Ila"HE0 q
CRAwroRDsvILLE (Ga Get. l, 1864.
WV. KING, ST., Esq Sir: l have con
sidered the message you delivered me yes
terday from Gen. Sherman with all the ser,
iousness and gravity due the importance OF
the subject. The message was verbal
Invitation, by him through you, to me to
visit him at Atlanta, to see five could
agree upon some plan Of terminating this
fratricidal war without the further effusion
of blood. asaAy .jtd"t--
The object is one which addresses itself
with peculiar interest and great force to
every we'll wisher Of his country-to every
friend of humsnity-to every pathetic
every one attached to the principles Of self
government established by our common
ancestors l need not assure you, therefore,
that it is an object very dear to me. There
is no sacrifice / would not make. short Of
principle and honor, to obtain it; and no ef-
fort would l spare, under the same limita-
tions, with any reasonable or prob ,ble pros
pect of success, But, in the present in
stance, the entire absence of any power on
my part 60 enter into such negotiations, aud
the like absence of any such power on his
part, so far as appears from his message,
necessarily precludes my acceptance of the
invitation thus rendered, -
In communicating this intention to Gen;
eral Sherman, you may also say to him
that if he is of opinion that there is any
prospect of our agreeing upon any terms oil
adjustment to be submitted to the action Of
our respective Governments; even though
he has no power to act in advance in the
premises, and will make this. known to me
in some formal ana authoritative manner,
being so DESTROYS for peace himself as you
represent him to have expressed himself
I most cheerfully and willingly, with the
consent of our authorities, aocede to bis re
quest thus manifested, and enter with all
the earnestness of my nature upon the re>
sponsible and arduous task OF restoring
peace and harmony to the country, upon
the principles of honor, right, and justice
to all parties, This does not seem to me
to be at all impossible, if truth and reason
should be permitted to have their full sway.
Yours, most respectfully,

r
il still in doubt. There is nothing in the
returns received thus far to cause any Nc
GILLIAN man to despair. 1t was well IN
dsrstood that the first dispatches would
claim tho election of LINCOLN, and hence
no one is disappointed. However, in many
cases the majorities claimed are so extrsva
rant that they excite only derision and Eff
fsctuslly defeat the object for which they
were ssnt. Like overdoses tfpoisou, they
countsract themselves. Whatever major
tiles are reported for MCCLELLAN are con
oessions from the Republicans and may be
considered below rather than above the
actual majority. Three States, New Jersey,
Delaware and Kentucky have certainly
been carried for MCCLELLAN. The latest
despatch from New York says that the
Republicans claim q majority Of 5000 for
LINCOLN. This together with the fact that
the returns, owing to the Republican mani
agement Of the telegraph, are very slow
coming in, leads to the beliefthat McCLEL
Ian has carried the State. We may be
sure that if it we're otherwise the returns
would have been tslegrsphed all over the
country long ere this aud msjoriety OF at
least $4,000 would have been claimed
The absence of returns from Pennsylvania
is also considered good omen of McCLEI>
LAS's success in that State. From private
sources, We learn that there were large
Democratic gains in the western counties.
The eastern coun ties of Ohio also show an
increase ia the Democratic vote.
We are by no means, disposed to give up
the contest yet or to acknowledge the de-
feat of our candidate. Reliable returns
from many of the States need not be ex-
pected for week or ten days to come:

The medical department Of the army is

to have it surrounded with extensive

Interesting Summary of Move
ments Of the COntending Ar
mfes In North Aiabama.

From the Richmond Dispatch, Nova.
Since the transfer of the seat of wal
from Georgia to North Alabama news from
both armies comes in more uncertainty and
slowly, Almost entirely across the ex
treme northern portion of Alabama runs
The Charleston md Memphis Bail ioad. 1t
is a very short distance from the line di
-yiding that State from Tennessee being a
distances OF twenty miles. The Tenn, Eiver
runs through Alabama in about the same
direction, winding sboata fhttlem than
the railroad line and crossing it in several
places. When Hood started on his new
movement he keptsouth ofthe railroad and
river, having the Preserved privilege" Of
crossing eithera at any point he found con.
yenient. When Sherman found he could
not catch him, after his last effort at La
fayette, he turned north and went to Chat
tanoogs, from whence he started on the
same line with Hood, except that he is
marching on the north side of the Tennes
see, with hope of meeting the Confederates
at the point they shall attempt 10 cross
the railroad line mentioned as having been
destroyed. He is now compelled to foot it
over q mountainous and barren country
He placed General Thomas at Bridgeport,
with one corps, to guard that point, and on
tho 9th Gen. Sherman himself, with main
army, was making for Gunter's Landing to
stop Hood there. As Hood was within a
nights march Of that peint on the 22ud
ult., it is pretty certain that be could have
crossed, if the river was not too high,
without any interference from his antago
mist. Sherman has been making strenuous
efforts to relay the track from Chattanooga
to Atlanta, so that he may get away the
cars, engines, guns and materials left in the
city after the successful destruction of the
road by ourforces, To dolsgmmate this
end he has been making a temporary track
on tho timbers cut from green saplings and
trees along the road. Our cavalry, how.
ever, have been annoying his working par
ties to a very considerable extent, and ma
terially retarded the work and the USE OF
the road. They dash in at all points along
the road, and after cutting and destroying
places Of most Importance, disappear, to
pounce on it at some far distant point. By
these active operations Sherman has been
prevented, up to the present time, from re-
ceiving any Communication with Atlanta
The correspondents with Hoods army
agree that no general fight need be expec
ted Immediately, as Sherman is too far
behind, and has no transportation to march
with rapidity.
Very large supply trains have been pass
ing up to Hoods army for the last fortnight
The enemy, under Fitzpatrick, have made
several desperate efforts to capture these
trains, but thus far unsuccessful. Wheeler
is keeping them in cheek. "A raid is, how
ever, anticipated upon the Alabama and
Tennessee Railroad, in the direction of
Selma. Some of the Yankee garrisons
recently captured in Northern Georgia
