INSPECTORS ELEcTIoy.

On Tuesday the election for Inspectors and
Assessors took place throughout the State.
and resulted, as every one anticipated in the
success OF the Copperheads by decided ma.
jority This is an election in which the
Union men for years have taken little or no
interest, in many parts of the State Even
in 1864, when there was greater enthusiasm
manifested by the Union party than now.
the Copperheads carried this county hy 40
majority, and yet in one month thereafter
the Union men triumphed by AGO majority.
The result on Tuesday in New Castle
County may be attributed to the general
apathy on the part of the members of the
Union party. In this city, the Copper
heads worked manfully, having runners in
every Ward, to bring up voters and it may
be truthiully said that they polled their en-
tire strength; while on the other nand tho
Union men were inactive and hundreds
never came near the polls. The same con.
dition OF things existed at nearly every cleo
ton district, and hence the result. Whining.

carried by at least s0O if every Union man
will do his duty.
In Kent and Sussex our friends worked
better than in New Castle and the conse
quence is that VIC have made handsome
gains, as compared with the election of 1864
The Copperhead majority has been reduced
from SIG to 744 in Kent, and considerable
in Sussex. Our people NAV RELY unon i,
the Coppcrhead majority will not be oyor
400 in Kent County, while the Union men
are sanguine of giving Riddle and McKiir
a handsome majority in Sussex. There i.
nothing in the result Of Tuesday to dispirit
our friends, as from the facts before us W.

glorious triumph in November.
In order 10 secure this result, every mar

4 Peculiar Spectacle.-A drove of three
thousand sheep passed through Philadelphia
last week. The North American says:-
They came from Carroll county, Ohio, and
have been on the way thence ever since the
18th of August They were not destined for
the shambles. They were finely bred quad.
rupcds OF the feminine gender, comprising
Spanish, MPrinO and SOuthdown ewes, in.
tended for brccling purposes. The owners
had brought them up for purposes of specu-
lation, and startedw them from the vicinity
of Steubenvlle, thirly-one hundred strong
The sight as the sheep came into West
Philadelphia was peculiarly striking. There
was fire at the time that prevented them
from crossing, and they were taken down TO
Chesnut Street bridge instead. The flock
was headed by man standing six feet six
inches high, covered with broad-brimmed
straw hat, and pantaloons stuck inside his
boots, leading a bell-wethor that looked in
the face the fac-simile of President johnson,
led by an invisible Boclzebub.
The flock covered the entire bridge, solid.
ly as a garment covers its wearer. 1t was
ilanked by six shepherd dogs, that did police
duty over the woolly sheep with wonderful
skill The whole drove was taken care OF
by three men and six dogs. In coming the
entire five hundred miles but about eighty
were lost, and these not by desertion, but
by illness and ioot-soreness. The owners.
who are three intelligent, enterprising Hoo.
siers, did full sentinel duty all the way.
They told us that the venture would pay
them at least forty thousand dollars profit.
The sheep were destined for the vicinity OF
Trenton, New Jersey, to be sold among the
farmers Tor breeding sheep. A finer collec-
tion of animals, of equal numbers we have
never seen,
