Gen. Mcclellan in the u. s..
Senate.

We would suggest to our friends in New
Jersey, and especially TO the Democratic
Legislature just chosen, that George B.
Mcclellan be elected United States Sena-
tor to succeed Mr.. Ten Eych. The Dem.
ocratic party would hail bis presence in the
upper House Of Congress with delight. In
such position his commanding talents as
a statesman, as well as his exalted virtue
as patriot, would shine forth in all the
vigor and power Of unre:trictod and un
confined freedom. Neither the Presi-
dent, nor Stanton, nor Gen. Halleck could
touch him there. There he would meet
Wade and Sumner, and Chandler and
Wilson on even and equal ground, In
such position his sagacous and far-see-
ing mind, his just and comprehensive
views, his enlightened and high toned
morality, his upright and spotless charact-
sr,would have full and Tree scope oil devel
opment of action. He would be tower
OF strength to the time honored principles
of the National Democracy, pillar Of
power in representing that wide spread
sentiment which exists in the country ,and
Which though now in minority, must con-
tlnue to be power, hcalthful power, in
restraining the Administration from toe
great license and despotism.
We therefore again nominate General
Mcclellan for the U. S. Senate, and irus,
those journals who sympathize with US il
this view will join us in urging the Legis
latute OF New Jersey to elect him.

The Late Ele ctions Locally Con-
sidered.

Twenty years ago, in the great elections
of ls44, the Democratic majority in Col
umbia county was 1900. Montour has
since been erected, and now the magnif'
icent majority Of that former time is not
only maintained but increased by 800
Amid all the changes of times and ofpar.
ties, Columbia county stands finn to her
ancient faith, subject of course to auctua-
tions in her majorities, but with no pros
pect OF her turning apostate. AS the fig
ures now stand she gives over 1400 and
Montour near 500. An 1860 hopes were
entertained by The Republicans that the
Democratic strength here would be broken
down and disappear. Fosters majority
for Governor was then under 800 and the
majority against Lincoln under 600. But
now Lincoln is beaten in this county over
14O0 and Curtin for reelection a year
since was beaten still more. These are
the facts, and although we must regret the
result of the Presidential election in the
Country at large, we can congratulate
ourselves upon the fact that this section
bears no share OF the sponsibility -
This thought may convey some satisfac-
tion to US in the dark days OF war, and
debt and taxation and suffering of the
future.
But this year all the counties near us
have done well. Wyoming gives Nc
Clsllan small majority and Luzerne an
enormous one. Little Sulivaa has done
exceedingly well, and Montour also. Ly-
coming which did badly few years since, :,
swings back to us with thousand major.
ity and Northumberland gives nearly as
much. Republican majorites are cut down
largely in Union and Snyder, and Schuyl
kill comes along with 1900 on the right
side Even Bradford is improving, Col
Piollet, gallant and true man leduced
the Republican majority on the Congress-
ional vote this year finely, and Lincoln
was unable to reach near his former vote
in that County.
The Republicans of this section have no
reason to rejoice over the returns at home,
as they have been badly beaten 10 this and
all the neighborng couutles, just as they
will be hereafter.

The Modern Moses.

A few days ago, Andy Johnson,the Mil

the slaves free but that his proclamation
did not release them but that he would
now take the responsibility Independent OF

Closing UP the War.

Our Republican friends have promi .ed
to close up the war by putin G an end 10
the rebellion in very short time.
All the Democrats will rejoice at such
q result. The Administration has it all
its own way all the men and money it
calls for--the same as in the past three
years. No Democrat obsructs or will
obstruct its course. We shall all be glad
to have the war ended speedily, for its
expenses are enormous and its destruction
OF life is great.
Let US even hold our beliefin in abeyanco,

Union with the prosperity and glory Of the

Income Taxes

BY law of Congress, tax upon all real
estate is to be collected, annually after
April s65, of FIVE per cent. upon real es-
tate. This will amour, to $50 tax on ev-
cry $1,000 of valuation. 1t applies to all
real estate, whether the owner has an in.
come or not, or whether under or over
5000. Thus: if a man own house aud
lot worth 5000 his annual ia upon it for
this purpose alone will be S25--a farmer
whose iarmed is valued at $4,000 will
have to pay 500 tax, &C., for this special

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
TUE RESULT SUMMED Up.

We have received nothing since the is.
sue Of our last paper, TO change the gen.
eral result of the Presidential election, as
then announced. Twenty-Five Of the twen-
ty-6ve States that voted have gone for
lincoln, giving him 2l3 electoral votes
leaving only three, Delaware, Kentucky
and New Jersey) with ~ electoral votes,
for Mcclellan
New York, which some Of our friends,
hoping against hope, clung to until the
very last, has turned over with the mass,
and cast her vote for Lincoln by about
8 900 majority. With this result, too,
comes the uuwclcome fact that Governor
Seymour, the able and fearless champion
of State rights aud constitutional freedom
is also defeated by about the same major
ity.
We will not reprint our table until the
full official vote of the several States is re.
ceived. Thus far, The complete returns
Of only tbree-Nsw Jersey, Connection

Rumor About sherman's Expe-
ditipn,

A report Is in circulation which iftrue
will throw some light on SHERMAN Ex-
pediton. II is this, that some time ago,
a council was held at Macon, Georgia b y
some Of the leading men of that State, who
decided TO withdraw from the Confederaoy,
provided SHERMAN would capture Savau.
nah and Charleston, A messenger was
despatched TO the President with this
proposition, and promise was returned
that it should be attempted. It is beleiv-
ed that this is a real secret Of SnERNAN's
Expedition. The fact of the Alabama
Legislature refused to make any arrange
meut to defend the State, and also, that
Gov. Brown Of Georgia, in his message
to the Legislature boldly announced the
tight of State to withdraw from he
Confederacy whenever its interests are to
do so--as well as his severe remarks about
the neglect Of the Richmond authorities,
all give plausibility 10 the rumor. Au-
dacity is undoubtedly necessary 10 success
in war, but this movment of SHERMAN is
one Of the boldest on record-and withou,
some snoh object as mentioned, he will
have remarkably fee chance to fail

The greatest interest is already excited
throughout The entire country, about thi:
expedition. This is the first instance 0
an army lost during this war-no on
knows where SHERMAN has gone or wha
he has gone after. All is speculation, bu
