OFFICIAL WAR BULLETINS.
WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, Oct. l8.
To MAJ Gen. Di1:
F. u. SPERRY, Secretary.

WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, Oct. l8.
To Maj Gen. Dir:
The following dispatch has been received:
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, P. M. Oct. IL
Hoods main force was about Lafayette last
night Sherman is at Ship Gap. The re-
port of yesterday that Hood was approaching
Carpenters Ferry was a mistake. He had
not crossed Lookout Mountain last night.
IN. ScHoFIELD, Maj j-General.
The following is another official dispatch
dated Chattanooga, yesterday:
left Gen. Sherman at Ship Gap, is Tay-
lor's ridge, at dark last night. The army was
all right and in the best of spirits. Hood
won't fight, though offered chance repeated
ly. His dreadful repulse at -AIaloona has made
him very cautious.
Gen. Slocum is all right at Atlanta, with
plenty of provisions and forage.
Hoods raid has produced no military re-
suit as yet. If he wants TO invade Tennessee,
as he has promised his men. be will lose by de-
sertion twice as many as he has captured
The losses in men, thus far, has been in our
favor. Hood demanded over his own sigma
ture the surrender of Resaca aud Dalton, and
said that if surrendered the white officers and
men would be paroed in few days, but II
the post was carried by assault no prisoners
would be taken. Rome is all right.
(Signed) q. A. DANA,
Acting Secretary OF War.

THE NEWS.

Though we have no general engagement to
report, the military situation remsins favora-
ble.
Grant continues to hold his advanced posi-
tion and is graduslly closing in on the rebel
capital. The last advices render it probable
that important movements are pending. 1t is
reported that the rebel commander is prepar-
ing for formidable demonstration of some
kind aud it seems equally certain that Grant
is also meditating active operations. The
Secretary Of War has lately been at the front
in consultation with him, and Admiral Porter
has been ordered to the command Of the James
River feet.
Much interest attaches to the condition
Of affairs in Georgia. 1t seems that Hoods
entire army has been transferred to the North
Of Atlanta, with the view OF cutting cur com
munications. Since bis disastrous repuse at
Alatoona be has captured two or three de-
tatched points with the small garrisons defend
ing them, and has torn up considerable rail
road track At last advices Sherman was
close on bis rear and he was attempting to
escape in a South-weet direction. The coun-
try be is in is destitute of supplies, and as he
has none except those he takes with him on
long where be is. The chances are that he
will not be able TO escape an encounter with
our pursuing forces, and if one occurs on any
thing like EQUAL terms, there is little cause for
apprehension as to the result. Sherman's ar
my is we'll supplied and abundanty able to
take care OF itself The damage 10 lhs rail-
road will be speedily repaired and it the pre-
sent effort of Hood to cut off communication
With Chattanooga fails it is not likely he will
be able to make another very soon.
Sheridan continues hs operations in the
Shenandoah Valley, and all his movements are
Notifications in the neighborhood OF Straus-
burg with view of keeping the rebels from
overrunning the valley at pleasure, and is rap
idly fnisbipg the work of rendering the sur
rounding region untenable for an army depen-
ding upon the country it occupies for supplies.
IN Missouri our forces have assumed the
offensive. and at last advices Price seemed to
be making every possible effort to keep out OF
the way of Rosecrans. Since The rebel repulse
at Pilot Knob there has been no engagement
though numerous eutrages and barbarities
have been perpetrated by rebel forces in
burning towns, and robbing, numbering and
eonscriptipg citizens.
Our commanders on the Mississippi have
lately been doing a fourishing business bS
sending expeditions to points within the rebe
lines. Large quantities of supplies have been
secured, numerous captures of prisoners made
and many contrabands brought in.

We call the attention of the Union men
of Delaware county to the timely and
highly appropriate appeal of the National
Union Executive Committee. Their sug-
gestions are of the highest importance,
and should not be neglected. Our late
victory was a most glorious one, but we
must remember that it was but the cap
ture of the outworks of the enemy, and
the grand decisive assault upon their cit
adel comes off on Tuesday, November 9Th.
Let no Union man fail in his duty to the
country and the cause in regard to that
contest. We will carry the State of
course, but it is highly essential to give
the victory its proper moral effect that
we should do it by an overwhelming ma
jority. No true friend of the Union
should suffer anything short of absolute
physical impossibility to prevent his de-
posting his vote for Lincoln and john
son, and no effort should be spared to in
sure the bringing of every Union voter to
the polls who is in condition to warrant
his being taken there, Remember that
each Union ballot deposited is equivalent
to bullet hurled at the rebel ranks, and
will tell with equal effect upon the rebel
lion. The last rebel hope is founded on
Democratic success in the North and
this hope we must blast by the verdict of
November 8. With proper effort we can
make handsome gain in this county on
our majority at the October election
Union voters were absent from the polls
in greater or less numbers in every town
ship. See to it that they receive timely
attention at the next election. The time
for action is short; let US faithfully i'm
prove it. and most glorious victory will
certainly crown our efforts.

EDIToRs GAzErTE:-This beautiful Autum-
nal day, while all outer Nature seems SO pleas
ant, attempt to write you short letter. Ii
is long time since we talked to each other
on paper. and will not bO you and the read
ers of the Gazette with long ado about moth
ing. Then to begin: Our rebel family has in
creased to over 5 5000. and they all strong
for MCCLELLAN. If they could vote Faiher
Abraham would have but a poor show for
continuance in Office. But they can only bark
their bite is played out.
A high fence has been erected around Camp,
and this is guarded so that the boys cannot
get out without pass; only the inmates OF
the Hospital GO in aud out at pleasure. The
new recruits learning this fact, many of them
made slings for their arms or Crutches. and
by this means they get out, and tEen skedad-
die for parts unknown.
Now 4 word in reference 10 the lie circula-
ted by the Butternut papers about the demo-
itiOn or the ballot box etc, on election day
The polls we're conducted by noncOmm issiOn-
ed officers. Not ballot was destroyed
a word of jarring took place, but everything
passed OF peaceaoly and quietly. Flenty oil
Butternut tickets we're on the ground, no
one interiered with their being voted no ballot
box was destroyed, nor no attempt OF the kind
was made The whole thing was lie from
beginning to end, manufactured out Of whole
cloth. But few Butternut tickets we're voted,
and the reason is very simple. "There were
but few Butlernuts there to vote them"
The prisoners have the small pox quite bad
and many of them are dying.
uurrah for the Union boys of Delaware,
they did the thing up right.
just say the soldiers not all for MeClel-
Ian, as know enc who answers to my descrip-
tive list, who is opposed to stopping now that
we are 10 the middle of the stream to swap
horses.
Can't We give Uncle Abraham 1900 major
ity in Delaware County? Let US try.
Yours for the Union,

al districts, being gain of four members
PENNsYLvANIA.-Tbe result of the election
in this State is still in doubt as regards the
home vote, though the latest advices render il
probable that the Democrats have a majority
of about 700. The soldier vote will give a
Union majority o; ten to fifteen thousand, and
the State is certain for Lincoln in November
beyond any reasonable doubt. We gain five
congressman, the delegation standing II Union
to I Democrat. against II Union to u Demo
crat in the present Congress.
The Democracy have been exulling largely
over their reported gains at few town cleo
tions in Connecticut, but the Hartford Cour-
ant takes the wind out of their sails by pub
fishing the returns from "a towns, 50 of which
went Union and 30 copprehead, and says
"1he returns from the town elections indicate
most indisputably, that Connecticut is sure to
roll up large majority for Lincoln and John
son in November" :"
