"iii oe 7hiaii, ana can only be determined by the
official vote.
The recording of the soldiers votes is necessarily
very slow, being distributed among various coun-
ties; and from the manner in which they appear on
The tally papers, 1t Is impossible 10 make aggre
gate until the record Is more complete.
The returns from Ohio show Demo
cratic gains on congressman from the
first returns. Ashley, Republican, is
defeated in the Tenth district; also De-
lano, in the Thirteenth district. The
Democrats have also elected their Con
gressmen in the Fifth and Twelfth dis
tricts. A telegram, dated Cincinnati,
The 14th, says
The Union majority in Ohio on the home vote is
about thirty i've thousand. Tho soldiers vote will
probably increase 1t to el2hty-vc thou, and. Seven
teen Union congressman are elected.
The latest returns show that the Democrats have
elected lie Blond IN the Fifth district and Fiusk III
the Twelfth. In the Tenth and Thlte.nth dis
tIicts the Democrats have malority on the homo
Vote, but the soldiers vote Will probably elect the
Union ticket. All the other districts have elected
Union candidates OH the home vote.

notice OF new invasion:

Potomac INTO Montgomery county, Maryland, dur

Second District Of Columbia regiment, stationed at
White Plains on the MANASSAS railroad The guard

mand WAS shot i'll several places and abandoned 10
lis fate. Two pnvatca Ct tho Sixth Pennsylvania
hoavy artillery Were killed by gugrrias yesterday
between Accot,nk ana Burke's station.
The fright he has caused among the
laborers may be inferred from the fol
lowing paragraph in the Washington
Staf:
Forty seven employees OF the Quartermaster's
Department imprisoned yesterday tVr refusing
10 assist III clearing the MANASSAS Gap railroad Ul
timber and buildings made use OF BY the gterllllas
the recent operations Of the rebels along the road
