Had there been a Presidential election this foil, the States which went Democratic would have chosen a Democratic President, a9 they have a hrge majority of the electoral votes of the loyal States. The count would have stood thus: DEMOCRATIC. ABOLITION. New York . 33 Fennsvfvanu .........'.tV Ohio .. 19 Indiana 13 Illinois.. 1G Connecticut G New Jersey 7 Delaware.... 1 Maine Massachusetts 7 13 5 4 8 8 3 5 5 3 4 Vermont Rhode Island Iowa . Michigan Oregon .... California . New Hampshire Kansas s Minnesota .. Total . 12f 65 Democratic majority, without the border slave States, 56. These latter would increase the majority. Of the 121 Democratic electo ral votes, all but three were given to President Lincoln in 1S60. Was there ever such a political revolution in so short a time? Hew York-Official. The official figures of the late election in New York, show that Seymour's majority is 10.613. The Abolition vote is 293,470. which is 66,156 less than the vote for Lincoln iu I860. The Democratic vote is 307,083, which is 5,-624 less than the Fusion ticket had in 1860. The total vote of the State is 603,553, against 675.156 in 1860 a falling off of 71,603. The whole vote of the City of New York is 76.841 ; in I860, 95,583; a falling offof 18.742. Of this, the Abolitionists lose 10,755, and the Democrats, 7,987. Illinois-Official. The following is very nearly the official vote of Illinois at the late e!c tion. We take the office of State Treasurer as a specimen : Starne ( Democrat ) 136.123 Butler (Abolitionint) 117,572 Democratic majority 18.551 . Lincoln' majority two years ago was 11,000. Democratic gain, 30,000. Mr. "Weed's Mission. The New York corresjondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer writes as follows: It is a well ascertained fact 'tow. that Mr. Thurlow Weed i going to Europe on some fort of a Government mission, all the reports to the contrary notwithstanding. He will probably sail about the 10th of December. The particular nature of his errand, of course, w a porofound secret to everybody but himself and the Government, but there is good reaon to believe that he is especially instruct ed to kep an eye on the English ship yards, and report what vessels ore there in prepara-. tion for the rebels. He will also be authorized to go as far as St. Petersburg, and confer with the Cziir on matters of mutual national interest. These statements are made on the au- . thority of Mr. Weed himself. Negro Votes. The Wayne County Democrat 6ays that six ty-f even Negroes voted at the late election, in on township in Lorain county, and that the positive evidence will be forthcoming. Neuralgia in the Army. Surgeons in the army complain that neural gia in the head, with which so many of our soldiers are afflicted in the cold weather, i caused by the want of proper protection from the snow, sleet and winds. The small cap worn by our soldiers offers no protection what ever to the head and ears, and should be sup plied by something more substantial. As the cold weather is now upon us, this matter ihould be attended to immediately, and our troops furnished with everything that is reqtii site for them to have, in order to endure the hardships of the field. An 0 virtl're Rejected Mr. Vance, rebel Governor of North Carolina, has rejected tie overtures of Military Governor Stanley, to join with him in a negotation on the subject of orth Carolina's return to the Union. Gov. Vance told Gov. Stanley that if he had any propositions to make he must make them directly to the Richmond authorities; but he, &t the game time, repels all idea of accommo Nation, and says th at North Cirolina will spill the Iat drop of her blood in the present fight. It thus appears that the expectations based on dance's supposed lukewarmness to the rebel catiee had no substantial foundation. Vance turns out to be aa sturdy a rebel as any of tbem.

In Mr. Lincoln's Inaugural Message he made u.e of the following language, involving the question of his power: Apprehension seems to exist among the people of the Southern States that, by an ac-j cession of a Republican Administration their property, and their peace, and personal secu-;uuu ruv arc io ie enaangerea. i nere lias never been any reasonable cause for such apprehension.

In Mr. Lincoln's conversation with the Chicago Emancipationists, he gave his views as follows, respecting not only his power, but the folly of exercising iC; What good would a proclamation of eman-1 cipaiion irom me uo, especially as we ate now " . 1 1 II I situated i I do not wish to issue a document that the whole world knows must, be neces sarily inoperative, like the Pope's bull against the comet. ould my word tree the slaves. when I can not even enforce the Constitution in the rebel Slates?

And what reason is there to think it would have any greater effect upon the slaves than the laie law of Congress, which I approved, and' which offers freedom and protection to the slaves of rebel masters who come within our lines. Yet I can not learn that that law has caused a single slave to come over to as. And suppose they could be induced, by a proclamation of freedom from me. to throw themselves upon us. what should we do with them? How can we feed and care for such a multitude ?" phase xo. 3. The proclamation issued one week after, embrace the act which Mr. Lincoln admits he had neither the power or the imprudence to commit. We give the essence of it: I, Abraham Lincoln, PresMent of the United States of America, and Commander in-chief oft he Armv and Navy thereof, do hereby proclaim and declare that on Uie first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State, or any desig nated pari ol a State, the people whereof shall lie in rebellion against ihe United Stales shall be then, thenceforward, and forvever free, and the Executive ' Government of the United States, including the military and naval authorities thereof, will recognize and .nninfain the freedom of such persons, and will do no act or act to reptess such person, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom." The Eight of the Citizen No5uspen sion of the Habeas Corpus in the Loyal States Geneial McClellan's Speech. The following, from the New York World's account of the reception given to General Mc-Clellan at Trenton, New Jersey, is very sig nificant. The General is out. flat-footed, a-galnst the usurpations of the Administration. The World savs: Here the demonstrations of the immense' concourse became so uncontrollable that the General was obliged to desist from speaking. and it was many breathless minutes before he could resume his remarks. At length silence was ttartially restored, and the General, con cluded: 'I have but one word more, my friends, to say; it is to advise yon; while your soldiers are fighting in the field, to see that the war is prosecuted for its proper objects the preservation of the Union and the Constitution, and the maintenance of your nationality and your rights as citizens." "Such is the verbatim report of General McClellan's significant words. You will perceive that it differs, in some essential particulars, from the hasty language ofthetelcgraph. The emphasis and manner of the concluding part of the last sentence were as distinct and marked as it was possible for human voice or gesture to make them, ami it was, understood by every man in that swaying miltitude. The shout that hailed it would have made even our vast crowds of the Cooper Institute and Citv Hall lark quiver with envy, it was vim, un.ini mous, spontaneous, and renewed the answer to the General s appeal again and again, a thrilling chord in the heart of "Old Jersey" was evidently touched, and it gave out its re sponse in master tones."

The Views of President Lincoln and the Cabinet upon the Late Elections. We have no doubt that the following, from the Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, is substantially true. He savs: "As soon as the result of the election was definitely kn'wn, a meeting of the Cabinet was held, at which, it is understood. President Lincoln announced to the assembled mem lers ,n "is opinion trie result was a verdict against the radical policy, and especially a-gainst the Emancipation Proclamation, and that Mr. Seward, Mr. Blair and Mr. Smith echoed his words and his arguments. It is 1 . t 11 aail1 ln-ftt afler tMe Conservatives in the Cabi net ,iacl expressed their views, Mr. Chas se calmly ami deliberately told Mr. Lincoln that there were two courses open for him. If he withdrew the proclamation and discarded the policy he had been pursuing since it was issued, the war would be promptly stopped, assuring him at the same time that upon the opening of Congress Mr. Sumner and Mr. Wade in the Senate, and Mr. Stevens and Mr. Lovejoy in the House, were ready to make a proposition for peace with the Southern confederacy; that not another life should be lost, nor another dollar spent, if this war was to be a war for the restoration of slavery; that as these gentlemen controlled a majorftV rV? i.he .Congress which is to govern the country, so far as the appropriations go, for another year, they were in a position to dictate the course of the Administration. Not only must he adhere to the Proclamation as issued, and to all its radical features, but he must, moreover, give it to the benefit of Generals in the field who believe in it. f "The story goes on to relate that Tetters were received from Siinhtorsy Sumner, Wade, Wilson, Fesseiden, and th. other radical Vea-ders in the Senate, and from Stevens, Lovejoy; Roscoe Conkling , and other radicals in the House, stating that if the Emancipation Proclamation should be withdrawn, the war must be stopped and would be stopped. . "That the President has yielded to some such pressure as this, we do not doubt; nor the rumor that he will, after the opening of Congress, modify his Cabinet by making it. an Abolition unit, and supersede the Generals in the field with Abolition chieftains." Terrible Explosion at Jackson, Miss, Forty Young Girls Burned to Death. As was briefly mentioned last week, a ter- rlble explosion occurred in the Confederate cartridge manufactory at Jackson, Miss., on the 4th inst. The immediate cause of the catastrophe can never be known. From sixty to one hundred girls were usually employed. It would seem that the full set of hands were not at work on the day of the explosion. The Memphis Bulletin says. " Alter the explosion the building burst into flames, and, shocking to tell, nothing could be done to aid the sutferers, or rescue them Irom the fearful ravages of the fire. that raged furiously through the shattered building; for among the finished work packed away to send -i t a- I , s-k ... 1 I 1 I t "v m mmr m m " ' i.Jjiv-..

No one could approach the fatal spot the firemen stool far otf with their engine, idle, unable to lend their aid. The roaring flames pursued their tlevouiing work uninterrupted: reducing to cinders the bodies of tbriy voiing girls, protracted in its horrible fierceness by the exploding shells. The sight was horrilde, but there was another scene still more harrowing, if that was po.ible. than the work of death it was ihe si-dit of screaining women and mad dened men calling about for their children! fhe loved ones that had left them at the noon meal, rejoicing in their youth and in the at-tiaclions of beauty, like a holocaust of maidens, offered in impious sacrifice to the Moloch of war." Judge Swayne "Suppressed. it Judge Swavne, of Tennessee, lately made a charge to a jury, which the military authori ties have seen fit to 6et aside, en account of its alleged pro-slavery bearing upon the negro question. The order of General Sherman on the subject contains the following notice: "Any attempt to execute State laws at va riance with the orders of the President and the military commanders, will be construed as a contempt "of the authorities of the United States, and will be summarily punished. "The status of the negro is involved in the war now existing, and will, in its progress, be clearly 'determined. In the mean time .the runaway slave must be treated as frecand the people are encouraged to give them employment as such. "So far as the Court confine its business to punishing murder, arson, burglan and crimes 'malum in se, the Provost Guard is required to co-operate." From the above it would seem that the civ il tribunals in Tennessee can prevent and take notice of all kinds of stealing but nro stealing. Enquirer, . . The New Base. It is curious to note that the plan of the campaign against Richmond is now settled on the base which Ueneral Meridian demanded, w . . a - sat )1 1 ami which he had once secured.

Such are the advantages of what appears to be the present base of operations the very one McClellan would have doubtless chosen, had he remained in command, Statesman. 53r The Governor of Ohio has suspended the writ of habeas corpus in regard to drafted aliens in the camps of that State.

It is The Democracy of Oneida county, New i i o , , r York, held a grand jubilee at Rome, on Saturday evening, in honor of the double trinmph achieved in the election of Horatio Seymour, as Governor of the State, and of Francis Kernan, as Representative in Congress from the Oneida District. The following is an. abstract of Gov. Seymour's address : . The victory which we have achieved is not for ourselves alone ; it is not the triumph of a party ; it was not won by a single party alone: it was a victory wrought out by t conservative men of all parties, and it vindicates principles just as important and just as valuable for our political opponents as for ourselves. What were the principles submitted to our decision in the recent election ? That has passed by, and men can now calmly consider its bearings and contemplate its results. It was nothing more nor less than this: whether the American people would go to the ballot box and there decide that they were ready to give up all their constitutional rights : whether they v;?uld decide in favor of the monstrous doctrine that a it' our liberties were to be held at the discretion and om of any one 'man ; that one man could in the first Jace declare that war existed in one. corner o' the con feu fr acy, and having esah!isned that fact, that he could go further 'and declare that the loyal people of the State of New York, who' had 200,000 men in the field and 50,000 -lain soldiers lying in their graves, had forfeited and lost all their constitutional rights because there was a rebellion in South Carolina or Virginia. My friends, in a few short years our opponents will never believe they, contended' for such principles as this. I do not charge upon them that they wished to violate our rights. I have no unkind feeling toward them. You have sent for us here to-night to rejoice with you over our election to the particular capacities in which we are to serve you. I suppose you want to know what I am" going to do as Governor. I will tell you that the first act ol my administration shall be a great act of Executive clemency. I shall extend my hearty pardon to every one of our political opponents, no matter how harsh in denunciation or how bitter in attck they may have been towards us. (Applause.") - We are not only going to-. pardon them ; we are going to bless them also. We are going to give them all these advantages of freedom of speech, of freedom of action which we hae demanded for ourselves. (Applause.) We say to men now. who but alittle while since, in their excitement, in their madness, in their passion, (I do not speak this harshly, for, my friends, we have' all lost our good temper at times, and been sorely tried in these respects; we know how they feel, as we felt two years ago, when we were not the most amiable people in the worM,) we say to these nje n J n il ILeauLesitie iumij.'jir tTiaf we have teen struggling tor principles that concern them as deeply as they concern us. We attempted to admonish them before I this election came on. and they will remember our words, that amid the excitement of this -var, and their deep feeling in regard to the condition of the country, they allowed themselves to be carried to a point bey ond what their judgment wili approve in calmer and more dispassionate moments. And the dav is near at hand when we shall be as cordially thanked by our political opponents, as we now ourseWs cordially rejoice over the success we have achii ve I. Now, friends of Korne, my friends too of the county of Oneida, I congratulate y ou that we have had a political revolution here that will bring new men into the field o acMon. Now that you have battled for me in this contest it was not for me, but most of all for great principles of government for the Constitution and Laws, for the Union of your country ; and vet 1 thank vou that vou did not allow the attacks and assaults which were made on your candidate to draw you aside in the slightest degree from the stern, complete and faithful performance of your duty to the country. My mend, we may congratulate ourselves that we have not only redeemed our State, but saved our nation. Great jov was felt throughout all thh wide land otours when you pronounced your verdict in favor of the Constitution of our country and the Union of our States. In the Border States, men who had become heartsick and discouraged have take'n new courage, and from this time forth will combat with fresh vigor apt! with renewed faith that they can once more help to restjre their country. In the- ranks of our armies, in the tented fields of the battle ground, there was joy when you pronounced your verdict, which told our soldiers in the field that they were no longer to wage an uncertain war not henceforth to follow out the vagaries of mere theorists, of fanatical and misguided men but that they were to fight hereafter solely for the flag of their country, for its Union and its Constitution. (Applause.) In after time', those who follow us will look to this election as one of the great and sacred events in the history of our country. They will view it as we do. and there-establishment and the re-atfirmation of the Constitution of these United States, under circumstances of as much solemnity and as much laborious care and thought as was bestowed on it when it , , year9 ,'0 come-taught wisdom bv the f,,'? we lmve paPSed through for all this was framed by our fathers. I believe that for passe lIood and all this treasure has not been spilt in vain I believe it has only served to sanctify these institution of ours to burn deep into every American heart the sentiments that hereafter we are to adhere to the principles of that Constitution, listen hereafter to the teachings of our fathers, get hack to that great pathway which they marked out for us. and I firmly believe now, what I did not believe one year ago - that, gathering up new vigor, new patriotism, and more intelligence from the events of the last two years, the American people, chastened, irade patriotic, made self- denying, are now about to start in a new career of greatness, of g'ory and of. prosperity; and that the tmin, the chief, the first ca-use of this new impulse given to our institutions, this new hope which now animates our patriotism, this hew light which breaks upon us in the darkness which for a time overhung us. will becalm, intelligent, patriotic, action of the American people, who at this election, without exci.ement. without violence, have come calmly forward in the exercise of the rights and priveleges of American citizens and have told their rulers to step back again within the limits of their rightful Jurisdiction, over which they have strayed in the, excitement of the simes. Now from this time on we shall find evidences accumulating that our country is to 13 restored to its former prosperity. We have shown to loval men at the South (and there - are niMiv thousand loyal there, who only waited to hear that thev could be safe in thp 1 1 mits of the Union and undtr- theshield of the JConstitution to declare themselves,) from this this hone which animated von and m on l brighten all our countenances, and makes us once more joyous, after all the sail months which .we have passed through, almost without hope. After four or five months more have rolled away, I trust we shall find the Union not only, restored, to its former greatness, but the country will have become great, more glorious than it was before: that the flag of our country, when it waves from the lofty column of the - Hestored Union, will not only sustain the names of the old States, but of 'ill more States. We shall raise that column still higher to Heaven, and from its topmost height we will wave the flag of our country, with all its stars ami all its stripes, ami with still more stars glittering on its folds, which shall tell the world that the American Union restored, renewed and regenerated, has commenced its new and onward march, for the cause of liber ty and freedom throughout the world.

"The discontented elements which have lately risen to the surface in the general agitation have a difficult task before them in the attempt to consolidate their scattered and discordant particles, now that they have achieved a partial success. Jietwixt themselves and their presumed purposes, looms up one obstacle not to be surmounted either through stat-egy or force; a loyal guard of some hundreds of thousands arranged to prevent any basf- betrayal of the Union; brave men are not in alliance with tricky politicians, and are by no means, to be madu' iheir instruments in cheat ng the coutry to a compromise,' or false peace.

The Perils of Rebel Flirtation. Of all Massachusetts Yankees, those in the National army, when in presence of the rebels, male or female, seem most refreshingly ver dant. While. General Burnside's headquarters were at Warrenton, the Colonel of a Mass achusetts regiment accepted the hospitalities of a young lady ot pleasing manners, living about four miles from that place, and, with a friend, galloped out one morning to break fast. It was the old storv in the history of the war the fair one was false as fair, and the hospitality was a decov, resulting in-the capture of the luckless visitors by a squad of convenient, rebels, who rudelv broke in on the matutinal recast, and hurried them away from the presence of the perfidious charmer.

The Removal of McClellan Burnside will Try to Follow McClellan's Plans Inutility of the Attempt Fremont to be made Commander-in-chief Attempt of the Radicals to Arm the Slaves at the South, &c. Washington, November 14. The editorial article in the Chicago Times of the 11th inst. contains the true rationale of the removal of Gen. McClellan. All attempts on the part of the Administration to blind the eyes of the people by representing that the removal was dictated by military reasons, or that it was a military necessity, falls to the ground before the stern logic of well known facts. It is notorious here that the reni&val is entirely and solely the result of political malice. It is only another, but it is the most striking and startling, illustration that the war is being prosecuted by this Administration, not on military principles, but for political ends ; not to restore the Union and the supremacy of the Constitution, but in such a manner as to make the restoration of the Union impossible. The friends of the Administration declared, a week ago, when the removal was first made, that we would now see a vigorous campaign. Mark, now,, how the events of the last six days have belied their assertions. Up to last nnhtVihJonTiiy, under .ifcClellan's command was advaneingsTeiadilyi enemy. Suddenly, the head, the "brain, that was directing the vast movement, is removed. The whole of the, machinery stops in, an instant. The army paused. Every ttVng was deranged. The head of the army had been removed, and there was no one to give orders. His successor had been appointed, but he felt and confessed himself unable to grasp the situation. Aides-de-camp came galloping tip to what had been headquarters, from important points twenty-five, miles distant, with dispatches from corps commanders and commanders ofdiv.sions dispatches of the utmost moment. "Such and such -a movement, which yon ordered, has been successfully executed, but a subsequent reconnoisance discovers the enemy in force in my front. Shall I attack? or what shall I do? In my new position, who am I supported by? Who is on my right? Who is on my left?" " I am no longer authorized to ive orders to Generals soamVso." The dispatch is read to General Burnside', or a similar o.ie, just after McClellan has left for Trenton. What does Burnside know, what can he know, about the proper answers to ten or twelve similar dispatches ? lie can not it is impossible, in the nature, of things, for him to give the proper answer, or to issue the order McClellan would have sent. In the mind of the latter, the whole plan of the cam paign is spread out lik a beautiful imp. Every movemen', both of his own army and that of the enemy, has been anticipated and provided for.- But, in the mind of his successor, everything mut be confused and mixed up. The corresp nd mt of the New Yo. k Tme. a rtti-cfmirp of -Bamside, Pave xtf htm, in that pap-r ofyesterday : "This morning early I saw him walking up and down the balcony of the hotel which he makes his headquarters, in an absorbed, distraught condition, seemingly overwhelmed by the weight of the responsibility resting upon him." No wonder, no wonder. There was only ovE mind equal to the weight of that awful responsibility. The consequence of all this is, that since last Sat urday the whole army has stood still. It is paralyzed, just as a man would be paralyzed if his head was cut off, even though the exe eutioner should try to stick upon hisshouldeis the beautiful sculptured ' marble head of a Caesar or a Hannibal. To rouse the army from this paralysis, Hal-leek has gone to the front. If he would stay there and assume the command in person, all might yet be well. But he will not. He is expected . back this evening. Hal reck and Burnside, together, it is said, can surely carry on the campaign. Burnside is a man of vigor, Halleck a profound strategist ; together, thev will make a fine team. Vain and puerile illustration! What cadet of fifteen does not know, before he has been a vear at West Point. that one bad General is better than two good ones f . Others, again, sav that Burnside will not venture to mark out any rew plan, but will ! merely carrv out that of-JtlcClellan. There is no doubt he will try to do so. He was, to his honor be it said, an admirer of that great, man, and a firm believer in his efficacy of his strategy and the soundness of his plans. McClellan, too, had a high regard for him, and spent two days and a whole night before he left, in unfolding to him his plans, and trying to make him comprehend' them. If he did not succeed in the latter attempt, it is no fault of Burnside. but the fault is with those who removed McClellan. Moreau was a splendid General ; but he was not a Napoleon. And Napoleon never could get Moreau to comprehend his plans. However, it is probable that Burnside will try to follow out McClellan's plan. But, if so, what an exchange has the country and the army made! And of the ultimate event there can be no earthly doubt. No one but McClellan can execute McClellan's designs. The cym paign will be a failure. And woe to those who have caused it to be so. Justice sleeps; but there is justice yet. So, too, with regard to the general conduct of the war. The war can onlv be brought to a successful termination through the plan de vised by General McClellan last winter, afid he is the onlv man who can execute that plan for it is one that requires the genius and the talents of a Napoleon. When, therefore, dis aster shall have followed disaster,, and defeat succeeded to defeat, the eves of the nation will again turn to McClellan, and then will be seen bow great a wrong the Administration per petrated in his removal. It is not to oe expected, however, that the Administration will stop with this step. The radicals boast that they have all power now in their hands, and that the President has giv en up to them the direction of the war. Thev boast that they have his promise that h$ will exercise his prerogative of making and unma king Generals at their bidding ; that Fremont will in a shor time be made Commander-in- chief, and Pope restored to the command o the Army of Virginia; and that, .on the firat of January, a proclamation will be issuea, di recting arms to be distributed to tl..i staves at the South. ' ' .rA Hung be the heavens in black when these steps shall be taken, for they will, indeed, murk the beginning of the end. A good Idea. - Secessionists and Abolitionists, like old maids and old bachelor's, should be tied to-geth er. Exchange. Of course thev should be so tied; and w think the best manner of tying them would be by a rope around the neck arranged in such a manner that their respective bodies would swing clear of mothr earth. Cleveland PUin From the IIarri3burg Patriot of Nov. 19th. Desertions from the Conscript Camps. We have already alluded to the frequent desertions from the conscript camp in this city. Everv day and night scores ofdrafted men'and substitutes skedaddle : and from present indt-calions, in a little while hardly a corporal's guard of conscripts will be left. The same state of affairs exists in the camps of drafted men at Pittsburg and Philadelphia. The greatest number of deserters are from the Abolition counties of Lancaster and Allegheny. We stated, in a recent issue, that the negro-worshipping constituents of old Thad. Stevens were too cowardly to take up arms in a war of their own creating; and in confirmation of that statement we re-produce the following item from the Express, one of the Abolition organs or Lancaster county:- "We are informed by a gentleman who visited Harrisburg on Saturday, that out of tho eleven hundred men who left this county lor camp, only about four hundred remain. About six hundred of the eleven hundred were substitutes, three hundred of whom kept their good faith, and entered the old regiments.- The other three hnndred, with several hundred of the conscripts, skedaddled returned to their homes, or gone no one knows whither. If all the rest of the counties in the State have suffered to the same extent, the great army of conscripts will dwindle down to a shadow." The Abolitionists of Lancaster county refused to volunteer in fhe Union army, preferring: to stay at home and vote for that highly concentrated embodiment of negroism, Thad. Stevens, and denounce Democrats as " traitors." when draited we find these cowardly pol troon sfieki!g away from camp by hundreds', and hiding inTiTi7S"in tains and swamps to avoid being pressed intofnvervice of their country. The ssme game is beTm?"$red b the conscripts from the western Abolitions counties. 1 he Pittsburg Chronicle says that ' desertions from Camp Howe are becoming' very frequent, and that there are now some five or six hundred conscripts absent whoso names appear on the rolls. On one occasion,, we are told, over two hundred men left the camp m a bodyv and took the cars the same evening for their homes." We have a similar report from Philadelphia city, where desertions from the conscript camp are of dailv occurrence, If the drafted men. are not soon sent into service there will i.oi be enough left in all the camps to form one full Jrenusvjva nia brigade'. Another Outrage. Day before yesterday the 77th Illinois Regiment, Colonel Greer, on his way west, campei on the Portland Avenue, or in that vicinity. In the camp ot this regiment there were some fifteen or sixteen, perhaps more, negroes whose, masters are here now representing that they were atolen from their homes. Chief of Police Stanclitf and Mr. Harry Kirky visited the camp to have a consultation with the Colonel about restoring the negroes. Mr. Kirkjr knew one of the negroes, and rather impruV dently endeavored to take the boy before hold ing any consultation. Mr. StanclifF advanced to state the-eusey when the Lieutenant , Colon el said, " We ve heard about you before yoa dd nigger thieving sons of ."and turning to his men, cried out, " Brain 'em 'biain 'em." The two were surrounded by-an excited crowd a captain struck at Kirby with hisr sword ; Kirby caught the sword in hia baud, causing a severe wound. These negroes were taken from the vicinity of Versailles, and their masters have followed the regiment to this point. Vq trust the prop r - authorities will take this matter in hand make them give up contrabands to their owners, LouiivUU Dem. ocrat.

In the; Law Magazine for November, an extract is given from Lord Brougham's annual letter to Lord Radnor on the law business of last-session. Among other thing3 Jjord Brougham eays : In America the view of fhe present is as dis tressing as possible. Of the grievous civil war now raging far above t'.velve months, with the utter disregard of human life and of public-credit, it is difficult to speak of so as not offend either nay,, perhaps both pa; ties, of whom one seems bent upon nn impossibility. But at hast let us hope that the imputation is groundless which would represent the Northern States as prepared to inflict upon their adversaria, and upon humanity itself, the orly aggravation whereof the deplorable contest is capable, by exciting an insurrection of the slaves. Such a calamity is more to be dreaded by the friends of that unhappy race than by those of their masters, for the chief sufferings would be theirs. Nor let it be imagined th.it when the war shall happily cease, it , eviU will be at an end, cither for the Americans themselves or for ethers. Armed men in hundreds of thousands will remain, inured to slaughter, incapable of subordination, impatient of peace their own government will b less secure than ever, and all colonics wili have a bad neighbor. "On toBichisd." The Washington Star, an Administration organ, of the 18th inst-, makes tho following statement : " Four days should see the great battle over, and Burnside should have Richmond in- less than ten days, as tlie campaign seems now to progress.
