CONTESTED ELECTION CASE IN Ross
CoUNTY,-Depositions were taken at the
Office of G. w. Meeker, Esq, of this city,
on Saturday, in contested election case
now pending in the Court of Common
Pleas of Ross county. The contestant Is
Sam Kendrick, the present Auditor OF Ross
county, who. at the last October election,
was candidate for re- election on the DEM
ocratic ticket. His opponent was Daniel
Dustman, who was declared elected by
majority of twenty-eight on both the home
and soldiers vote. On the taking Of depo-
sitions In this city on Saturday, Hon. Al
fred Iaple appeared as counsel for Mr..
Kendrick.
The principal grounds of contest, we un-
derstand, are the informalities and defects
In the certificates and returns of the SOL
diers' votes. Some of the papers purport-
ing to contain lists of these votes, are not
certified to at all, or signed by any name;
yet these were counted in to swell the vote
against Mr.. Kendrirk. There were also
infOrmalities in the returns of the home
vote. For instance. i'm one of the
townships which gave majority
against Mr.. Kendrick, clerk of the
election was running as a candidate for a
County office. After the votes had been
counted out tearing that this might vtiate
the return, his political friends substituted
another person for the actual clerk, and
caused the substitute to sign the necessary
papers as clerk Other defects occurred in
both the home and soldier vote, which we
have not time to specify. We have no
doubt that If justice be done, the decision
of the Court will be in Mr.. Hendricks ia
vor.
Mr.. Hendricks majority on the home vote
was 32l, while that on the Democratic State
ticket in his county was only 1893. This
large increase of his majority over that on
his party ticket, shows Mr.. Hendricks great
popularity. He was especially the favorite Of
the relatives and friends of the soldiers
He had in his capacity as Auditor, the dis
tribution of large funds from time to time
to the families of absent soldiers. The
fidelity promptitude and care, as well as
the accommodating spirit he always ex-
hibited In the discharge of this sacred trust,
made him especially popular with those
most deeply interested in the welfare of the
absent soldiers and their families at home.

Several ladies of the city have decided to
mold a Fair for the benefit of st. Francis
Hospital. which is in need of funds.
This Hospital. in charge of the Sisters of
the Poor of st. Francis, has been in opera
tion nearly three years. and has afforded
gratuitOus relief to some three hundred
poor and homeless sick
The need of such an institution in Column
bus is definitely settled by the fact that the
Hospital is constantly full, and the Sisters,
to their regret, are obliged daily to turn
away those who seek relief at their hands.
From our knowledge of the hospital, and
those who have it in charge, we are certain
that the sick are faithfully nursed, without
question whence they come or to what de-
nomination they may happen to belong.
We, therefore, beg leave to commend the
object of the proposed Fair to our citizens
and to express a hope that it will receive
liberal support. S. Nj. SMITH,

citizens to be preparing for a raid into
Maryland. At Waterford our cavalry
struck the head of Mosby's force and a
skirmish Immediately ensued, in which we
lost seven men killed, wounded and cap

three to one, lost equally as many, if not
more. Among their killed was Captain

formation of the burning and destruction
of the blockade runner Ella, of Whining

States steamer Emma. She was loaded
witharms and ammunition, and bound to
Wilmington. She was run ashore under
the guns of the batteries on the 3D., and
subsequently DESTROYED. From papers
foundon board she must have sailed from
Nassau some time in the latter part of No

Army of tIle POtOnnc-AnOthe
RecOnnOissnnce.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAC,
Dec. 9th, p. M.-Another reconnaissance
was made this morning along the Vaughan
road toward Hatcher's run, over the same
route the cavalry went yesterday. The
force consisted Of detachments of several
regiments of cavalry under COL Kerwin, of
the 18th Pa, and three brigades of the lst
division of the I'd corps, under General
Miles. The videttes of the enemy were
driven across the run, when a
sharp fire was opened on the advance
from line of breastworks on the opposite
side. After some skirmishing to discover
the strength Of the enemy, a, charge was
made across the run and the works carried
by assault but not till the rebels had made
good their retreat up the South Side road.
Our men took position in the captured works
while skrmishers were thrown out on both
TANKS. Soon after report came that the
enemy were moving up and across the run,
half mile west of the road. where our
troops were. On evincing an intention to
attack on the right flank, Gen. Miles at
once disposed his command tOreceive them.
He also sent back for reinfOrcements, which
were given him at once, but the enemy did
not make their appearance during the af-
ternoon, and it is believed they fell back 10
a stronger position at Armstrong; Mills.
mile and half west. The impression is
that they had no large force in the vicinity,
otherwise more stubborn resistance to our
advance would have been made.
Our loss in the charge was IL men wound
ed. Loss of the enemy unknown.
Later in the afternoon reports came that
the enemy were moving towards the left
in heavy force. Arrangements were made
to meet them. but up to this hour (mid-
night they have not appeared.
In my dispatch few days ago, giving q
list of promotions, included the name of
Gen. Meade as being made Brevet Major
General. This was incorrect. He was
made full Major General in the regular
army. TO date August 18th, 1864, to rank
next to Sherman. This promotion was
conferred at the special request Of General
Grant.
