WAsulSGToS, Oct. l7.-From semi. official
intelligence just received here, from, Mexico,
it appears that more than one thousand
Austrian troops left Jalapo and Pefotc to
surprise force under the command of the
Liberal General Alatowe, but, instead OF
succeeding in it, they were themselves sur
prised, and most completely beaten by their
enemies, leaving in their hands six hundred
prisoners and their artillery. consisting of
five cannon; in fact, everything. OF the
other four hundred they were either killed,
wounded or scattered.
In Guadalaiara. on the occasion of a trial
for the abuse of the press, the people made
a great demonstration of republicanism.
More than thousand persons by vocitera-
tion obliged the public accuser to be silent,
and took out of the court the accused and
the counsel for the defence, bearing them in
triumph all over the city, where large crowds
Joined them in feasting the accused, whose
alleged crime consisted Of attacking the En-.
pire.
In the State of Oajaca the Liberal upri-
sing is general, including all the lIuasteca,
the coast Of Tehauntepee and adjacent ter
ritories.
General Diaz, who, it is known, made his
escape from Puebla, where he was kept u
prisoner in Jail by the French, is now at the
head of the ihsurrection in Cojaca.
The fast of his being one of the bravest
and most enterprising generals among the
Liberals, gives to the movement in that
State, where his influence is paramount, an
importance which the Imperialis.s cannot
any longer conceal
The Republicans now hold the States of
Tabasca and Chiapas, q very large portion
OF Oaleca, part of Puebla and Vera Cruz, all
that is designated as the South, which COM
prises the State of Guerrero now, excepting
Acapulco and the Huesteca; nearly, If not
quite, all of Tamaulipas, one part of San
Luis, chiefly Vale del Matz, and the dis.
tricts OF Venado and Matehamala; the entire
States of Neuvo Leon and Coahuila, except
ing their capitals; something of Durango,
chihuahua, and Sinoloa, and nearly the en-
tire of Michoacan, &C.
Besides these sections of the country
which they control, they have great many
bands Of guerillas swarming in Jalisco,
Cohiua, Ziecetecas, and Suana Luato, with.
out mentioning the TERRA Calicote. In the
State of Mexico, in Juaratero and Talas they
have the daring guerillas, Ugalde and Fra
Gose, who with one thousand we'll mounted
men, are everywhere, and always stronger
when they are represented as destroyed.

s THE STATE ELEcrIoN--T election
in this State, on the 10th inst, has resulted
in the general success.of the Union party
The majority for Gen. Hartranft over Col
Davis, for Auditor-G General, ard of Camp
bell, over Linton for Surveyor General, will
not be less than $1,000, Judging from the
official and unofficial returns which have
been received. The Union gains in the diff.
ferent counties have been smarked, and in
some instances have surprised the oldest
politicians. The endorsement of the recon
struetion policy Of President johnson, by
the Democratic party, did not seem to help
it any. When the official returns are com.
plete, they will be printed in tabular form
Though of the retiring State Senators
seven were Union and four Opposition, an
equal number has been returned in the seven
districts of thelsame sparty views, with an,
other gained in the Luzerne district, and a
chance for one in Franklin and Adams-so
that the next Senate will stand at least 90
Union to 13 Opposition, and may be 81 to
az. IN the House of the Union partyl has
lost enc of the sixty-three Union members
of 1864, and have gained one in the Adams
one in Armstrong and one in Franklin and
Perry. Three members in Luzerne are bea-
ten less than twenty on the home vote, and
it is probable that this majority will be
overcome by the army vote. DR.. Early, in
dependent Democrat, defeats the notorious
Boyer in Clearfeld and Elk. The House
will, therefore, stand about 30 or 81 to 70
or 60.

New and Formidable Fleet of WAX
Vessels.

The termination of the rebellion found
our Government in the preparation of a
large fleet of new and improved naval ves-
sells to meet any exigency whether by for
eign interference in our national affairs or
otherwise that might arise. Among them
were seventeen first class sloops of war,
which will combine great speed and more
than the usual invulnerablity of wooden
vessels. The building of SO formidable a
fleet of this class of vesselss in preference to
iron clads was forced upon the Navy De-
partment, based upon the opinions of skill
ed naval and nautical men, who unanimous
ly declared thae the former class Gron clads)
could not be made serviccable for cruisers
The fleet above described and named below
are all contracted for, several are launched
and the remainder are on the stocks. Those
that have been launched thus far are re-
markable for their fine lines and clean
models, and they bear ever Characteristic y
fast sailors. The following is list of the
new fleet

BDIToR RIAL CORRESPONDENCE
PHfLApEIPUIA, Oct. 17s1S65.

Yesterday was a great day in Philadel-
phia. The grand "Fireman's Parade" of
1865, will he recorded in the annals of the
city, as an event o. more than ordinary I'M
portance. II was certainly the greatest civic
procession ever held in this country, and
most probably has never beer equalled in
any other. The Fircmen of Philadelphia
had, for months past, been making great
preparations for this grand display. Among
the Numerous companies there was great
rivalry to outshine each other in the splen-
dor OF their equipments. The steam and
hand engines, hose carriages, &c., were
glittering with FURNISHED brass, silver plate
and gliding. The procession was formed
On Broad street, at 40 o'clock, and was said
to be over seven mikes hong. looked on
several hours, and the end was not vet. 1t
was nearly at night before the head of the
column reached its destination at the corner
OF Third and Chesnut streets. The object
OF this grand expensive, and think useless
display, | have not heard. The expenses
incurred were enormous, and have been
estimated, by some, st million of dollars,
and many, it is said, have raised money by
mortgaging their property. TLis estimate
presume, includes clothing and equipments
OF men as well as engines, &C. For the first
bali hour the effect is pleasing and interest
ing, bot the eye and ear both weary, with O
long continued display, especially when
there is SO much sameness.
The high prices of almost every thing be-
gins to be felt more sensibly than people i'm.
agine. No one purchases more than is abso
lutely necessary. Cotton goods have reached Q
hgure entirely unexpected, for which there i.
no Justification. The opening markets of the
0outn, 1t is true, necessarily requires man,
goods, but they have not the means to pay for
perhaps the half that will be shipped b,

r9y-THE Democratic DEFEAT.--The re-
suit of the State election on the 10th has so
astonished and terrified the Opposition that
even their most bitter and unscrupulous or
gans fail to offer excuses for their defeat,
they acknowledged that they were beaten
in the State By small majority, but fail to
give single valid reason for their lack of
success, save that their party was not suffi-
eiently well organized, and that too much
apathy existed among the rank and file. To
one who has studied the history Of the
Democratic party the causes of their defeat
are plain and indisputable, and endeavor
as they may to wlitewash the matter for
outside world, to the leaders of the party
the blow struck on Tuesday flast week by the
voters of Pennsylvania was most appalling.
II was bad enough for the large cities, where
they expected to poll a heavy vote, to de-
ceive them, but the shock was took great
to be easily borne when they heard that
Luzerne, where they expected to have thir-
ty five hundred majority, Blair, Schuylkill
Lehigh, and even bcnighted Berks, which
rarely casts vote for any man not running
on the Democratic party having lost its
prestige, has also lost its influence; and, as
it now stands, can never expect to regain
an honorable position in this country. Nc
political organization which opposed the
war and sympathized with the enemies o.
the country when the aid and influence o
every man ia the North was needed, car
expect to have the support of the enlight
ened voters of the loyal States. The mis-
deeds of tie democratic party have not beer
forgotten; nor will they be, until the recol
lections of the gallant dead who fell victims
to Southern treason and Northern sympath.
with treason have been obliterated from tn
memory of generations yet unborn.

sunk in that city, for the purpose Of obtain
ing oil, but which, so far as that was con-
cerned, was failure. Some large veins of
gas were struck, however, which have been

laid from the gas well to two large iron

from .he well. These werks are heated,
and the engines run by means Of the gas,
