It is understood that President Lincoln has determined to make a clean sweep of Provost Marshals, Poet Masters, and the: thousand of other official leeches who Rre sucking the life-blood of the nation. There is plenty of good picking. Each member of the Board of Enrollment at Newark receives over two thousand dollars and emoluments, and in each countj there is one or more provost marslia'ls agents, to say nothing of poet-masters,post-office agents, commissaries, quartermasters, .4c., 4c, all of which afford :fine opportunities for getting rich without much labor. It is said that General Delano has promised places to a number of our " loyal" townsmen; that George B. White is to be appointel Commissioner of Enrollment, in place of Isaac lladley ; John W. White to be Post Master, in place of Captain Pyle, and that other loyalists are to be provided with places as n rewanl for party service. Lincoln says that he is the only man who has a right to a second pull at the treasury ' clear as pig-tracks." The Rebel Press on the Election, of ULt. Lincoln. The rebel press at the South is delighted at the re-election of Lincoln. The Kicbmond Enquirer, of November 11, thus expresses the general satisfaction : So far as the people of these States are interested, the re-election of Lincoln is entirely satisfactory; For us, he is the right man in the right place We would not have had him defeated, but gave all the influence of the Enquirer to him. Our reasons were entirelysel-li.-Ji. We prefer the manacemeut of this war to remain in the same hands that have directed it for the last four years. We prefer an ig norant brutal fool as commaiider-iu-chief of the enemy to any other man, General Mo-Clellan might have given us more trouble, but, we have taken the measure of Lincoln and know exactly his entire worthlessness. The four years more of war, which his election now makes sure, would not have been a voided by the election of McClellan, bat might have been conduct with jnucl- mora ability and given us more trouble than Lincoln can possibly command. The re-election of. Lincoln binds our people still firmer together, and prevents the discussion and discord which the election of McClellan might have introduced. We know that it means continued war, aud our country will prepare lor. it. There ia no prospect lor peace, and it is better for us that we should know clearly the purpose of the enemy in the matter than to hajp been divided in opinion by the hopes of peace, which the defeat of Lincoln would have raised among our people. Let our authorities begin immediately the work of re-organiiing the army, consolidating the regiments, filling up the ranks, improving the cavalry, and prepariug for the spring campaign. T The Richmond Whigof the 11th, discourses in fhis wise : Our information i next to positive that Lin-eoln has been re-elected. Few have doubted from the firpt that this would be the result, and fewer 8till regret it. For ourselves, we feel that the great caune for which we are trug-gling has eecaped the real periL The policy of conciliation, of concession and cajolery, which McClellan would have attempted was something more to be dreaded than Lincoln's armies and navies. There was great reason to apprehend that such a policy would deceive, demoralize an . divide the South. With Lincoln there is no fear of this ; our people will continue to stand as one man ; with him it is united South against a divided North. With McClellan it might have been a united North against a divided South, in which event all we have been striving for in this four year's struggles would have been lost. But Lincoln is to continue to b master of th Yankees, and the spectre of reconstruction vanishes forever. The Honroa Soetrina. In a lata speech in the Confederate .Congress, upon arming the negro e laves, Mr. Foote, of Tenneeeee, formerly Senator Foote, of Mississippi, said: ' J We had, he said, more friends at the North than we had in either -England or France, i hose countries desired the rata of. both of North and South. He was willing, on the recognition of our independence, to enter into an alliance, offensive and defensive, with the Northern States, jointly to enforce the Man- roe doctrine in America, and to form a liberal commercial treaty. . With this all lances y- Bri tish authority would be swept out , of, Canada and French dominion in Mexico would be overturned. Six or seven hnndred thousand men would do it, and thus visit a just retribu tion oq the cold-blooded monarchies concern ed, who are now attempting to surround the two repabliea and limit their growth. - -1 Insult to Got.

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. nonr ITWA COIDVCTED. Bascalityy Intdmidation and Traad. - : The Frauds in Indiana. , We give an extract of a letter from another Massacusetts soldier at Indianapolis. The letter ia dated Oct. 16th, and is addressed to the father of the young man, doing business in Boston'. The Courier of thatcity holds it open for the inspection of any one who wishes to see it. lie writes : There is not much news to write you. The election passed off quietly. The 60th Massachusetts was represented, at the polls in large force. I was on guard that day, but there were 5 or 0 of the companies went to the polls and voted from twenty to ' thirty times : apiece. One captain on the left flank of the regiment put on a corporal s uniform and yoted thirty times; there were men voted who had been dead and buried from six months to a -year. -' One company4 went out fifty miles in the country and voted for Governor Mor ton ; they had all the expenses paid and a good dinner, and all the rum they wanted to drink ; all voted for Morton, and it was all. right ; I will tell you more when 1 get home. How the Election, was Carried in Mary- " " land. The following letter addressed to an ex-member of congress in New York, and from one of the most prominent public men in the state, shows how the election in Maryland was carried for Lincoln and Johnson: Washington Co., Md., Nov., 8. Mr Dear Sir It is due to the friends of Gen. McClellan that they should know of the outrages which were committed to-dav in this state at the ballot-box. Hundreds of legal voters Mere, everywhere, denied the right to vote men who had voted for Jifty years, arid of the highest character and wealth, upon the flimsiest pretexts, .had their votes refused. ' You are doubtless familiar with the bath imposed upon us by our new constitution. Odious at it wasoufebpld ' were J BtiH, willing to take it; but this was not deemed suffi cient, and the most silly and vexatious questions were added, without the least shadow of law. For example, one gentleman, who had taken the oath and answered satisfactorily other f questions, was at last asked if the two armies were engaged in : battle, which would he desire to be -victorious? He? answered, "That which was right in the sight of God;" arid this reply was deemed sufficient to establish his disloyalty, and his vote was rejected: Others were denied their right simply decause they frequented certain houses or associated with particular persons. One otfcer was re jected upon the testimony of af'volun- teer witness, that he had heard him say, when Paterson's army passed throgh Hagerstown, in 1861; ''that they would never return." The largest ma jority, however, of those whose votes were refused were not permitted: to swear at all, or to offer any evidence of their loyalty, or fidelity to the constitution.The taere fact of openly anouncing one's self as for McClellan was enough to forfeit his vote. In what I have already said I have attempted to givp you some idea of the conduct of the sworn judges. The outrages that were per- mitteu Dy armea rumans around the polls were equally infamous v it was almost impossible to approach the polls without great risk. The returns will perhaps show the largest ' majority for Lincoln; in this county3. of all- others in the .-state,' yet I could make oath with clear conscience that McClellan, with a fair election,' would have a large majority. ' How it was DoaeJ : From The Albany (X Y.).Aijro. ' .

It would have been just as ; well for the party in power to have declared his election in advance arid Saved even the trouble of voting. The" ballot-box gave no expression of public sentiment here. The most shameless frauds were practiced and justified by men high in position, satisfying their' consciences, we suppose; with the plea that the end to be accomplished justified the means through which it was attained. Yesterday gave :- the most convincing proof that the elective franchise, which should be held sabred by every citizen, has become a farce -that the ballot-box is no longer the arbiter of the public will. This palladium of liberty has been stricken down by the professed friends 6f freedom, and wo can only regret that the evil consequences fall them alone. ' ' : The Election Farce in Tennessee. (Cprrespoadence of The Lmiisville Journal. . Nashville, Nov. 8, 1864.; I visited a few of the polls in this city to-day, to see in what manner the people are permitted to? Vote. 1 went with the expectation of seeing the form of justice displayed at least, but even that is dispensed with. 1 he most pal pable frauds a nation ever groaned un der have been enacted this dav. The process is this: - A person enters and says he wishes to vote. Andy Tohnson's test oath is read to him, -which he swears to, and then an Abolition ticket is thrust into his hand (for there is no other,) and he gives his name. That's the whole proceeding. No more questions are asked, and he is permitted to vote at other polls if he sees fit to do so; - - i i . . i - or ne may return, and under anotner name, vote again, or as many times as he wants to, provided he has a new name each time. One of the polls is completely surrounded-' with negroes that are voting. It is so crowded that foot passengers have to cross i on the other side. A negro stands at the door, and takes the names and tickets; j (the form. of an oath is. -dispensed with here,j which are passed into the clerks i and judge. : The Election in Missouri Fraud and .... Violence; . From The St. Loais Republican. While it may be said to tbe .credit ,.of the people of-fe W- Leni thiat the- elws-tion in this city passed off without any disorders, it is to be regretted that this cannot be said of the country; in many places. . In St. Charles, as we understand, the judges refused to receive the tickets of a large number of McClellan voters, and. of course, prevented their voting. At Collinsville, iri St. Charles county, a voter had his ticket taken from him by violence, and he was himself driven off, and very severely beaten. At Wentzville, where for McClellan, we understand not a single Democratic vote was cast. . We have not heard tlie cause, but it is 'fair to presume it was in consequence of threats or violence. Mr. Thomas Lee, formerly proprietor of the Wedge House, but latterly a resident of St. Charles county, started for Wellsburg, his election precinct, to vote. - His dead body was found near that place on yesterday morning. ; lie wa3 aMcClellan man. We learn from a candidate for an important office on the State ticket, who arrived in St Louis on yesterday, that no Democratic vote was polled at Montgomery City, in Montgomery county; on account of interference by soldiers 3-t that place. As the.Ninth, Congressional District, of which St. Charles and MontfTOmerv icountiesfornl a part, has been one of ith'e most tirderly in the fetate, and these nterruptious have occured even there, t is td be feared that the election of Tuesday in so far as Mitsouri is concerned, has "been little, if any, better than a farce. It is greatly to be feared,indeed,- that it -has been the occasion of numerous tragedies. It is already' apparent that threats and intimidation have had the effect to keep from the polls large numbefs - of letral voters, ;So saticfied are we of this, we shall : confess ourselves disap-Dointed. after what we" have alread v earrie'd,"sfi6uld it turn out that one-half the vote of. loot) was polled in this State ottTueaday.

Oavls' Ziesiags. ' The following are prbrixinent passages from Jeff. Davis, message : . 'After the fall of Atlanta," he says, "there, are no vital points on the preservation of which, the Continued existence of the Confederacy depends.- There is no military success of the enemy which can accomplish its destruction. No ; the fall of Richmond, Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah or Mobile, nor all combined, can save the enemy from constant and exhaustive waste of blood and treasure, which must continue until he shall discover that no peace is attainable unless ; based on a recognition of Out indefeasible rights. " On recognition, he says, "It is not in my power to announce any change in the conduct of foreign powers. No such action has been taken by the Christian nation of Europe as might justly have been expected from their history, from the duties imposed by; tho international law, and the claims of humanity. It is charitable to attribute their cttofluct to rid worse motive than indifference to the consequences ') of the struggle which shakes only the republican portion of the American continent, and not to ascribe to design, a course calculated to insure a prolongation. of hostilites. So long, therefore, as neutral nations fail by recognition of our independence, to announce that in their judgment the United States are. unable to reduce the . Confederacy, to submission ; their conduct will be accepted by your enemies as a tacit encouragement to i continue their efforts, and its an implied assurance that a belief is entertained by neutral nations in the success of their design. Peace is impossible without independence, and it is not expected that the enemy will anticipate neutrals in a recognition of that independence... . When the history of this war shall be fully disclosed, the judgment. of the impartial publicist will be unable to absolve the neutral nations '.of Europe from a share in the moral resposibility j for the myriads of human lives unnecessarily sacrificed during its progress On railroads he says : ' The Secretary's recommendations on the subject of faciliating the .importation of tlie iron required for ; maintaining the efficiency - of railroacV' eommnnieation - vn important military lines, are commended to your favor. , The necessity for the operation in their full vigor of such lines, is too apparent to need comment. On arming the negroes ho says t It would seem proper to acquire for the public officials the entire property in the labor of the slave, and to. pay them for their compensation rather than to impress his labor for short terms. The policy of engaging to pay the negro on his discharge after service has been faithfully rendered, and seems preferable to that of granting immediate. manumission or that of retaining him in servitude. ' . . ': If this policy should recommend itself to the judgment of congress, it is suggested that in addition to the duties heretofore performed by the slave, he might be advantageous v employed as a pioneer and engineer laborer, and in that event the number should be augmented to forty thousand. Beyond this limit, and these employments it does not seem desirable, under existing circumstances, to go. A brOad moral distinction exists between the use of slaves as soldiers in defence of their homes, the incitement of the same person to insurrection against their masters. The subject is to be viewed by us, therefore, solely in the light of policy and our social economy. When so regarded I must dissent from those who advise the general levy and arming of slaves ( for the duty of soldiers; but should the alternative ever be presented of subjugation or of the employment of slave as a soldier, then there seems no reason to doubt what should then be our decision. . If. the reccommendation above made for training forty thousand negroes for the service indicated shall meet your approval, it is certain : that even this limited number by thorough preparatory training in the intermediate duties would form a more valuable reserve force in case of emergency, than threefold their number suddenly called from the field of labor. While a fresh levy could to a certain?- extent, supply their places in the service for which they are now employed. ; - ,-. ; ' On negotiation for peace, he says : ; "Peace is manifestly, impossible, unless desired by. both . parties, and the disposition for it among, our . enemies will be best and certainly evoked ; by '4 demonstration on our part of our. ability and unshaken determination to de-r fend our;; rights, and hold no earthly price too dear" for their purchase.

His namo is Valentine Perkins; ho was born fifty two years since in Henrietta, Monroe county, New York, but has been a resident for the last 20 years, of Mantua, Portage County, Ohio. At the age of 11 years he was thrown from a horse, and his knee was injured by, the fall. From that time ossification set in, and the process made advancement, joint by joint, for 15 years, when it had comple ted its work, lie 13 thoroughly and totally ossified, with the exception that lie can . move two of his fingers, , and make the slightest perceptible motion with one or two of his toes. He has not opened his jaws for more than 30 years, but still he can talk with ease. Of course he has to be fed the food being placed within his lips and left under the guidance of mother Nature, who mysteriously ensures its safe conduct into the stomach. He lies upon his side, upon a low bed or couch, which serves also as a litter, with his feet drawn up somewhat, and his right hand caught . up near" his shoulder, lies thus all-day lprigv shifting his position but once during twenty-four hours,; when he is turned over on the other side."; While he is thus -completely, ossified a human block of limestone, as it were his skin r e t a i ri s i ts n o rm al charac t e r an d con d i-tion, and discharges its functions perfectly, being perhaps more sensitive, however, to the touch of any Object, as that of a fly or a hair, than is" usually the case. When the light strikes the skin of his hands or face, it looks like marble of a yellowish tinge, brought up to the highest possible" state of polish. He lies there on his couch like a recumbent statue. ' His health is good; he his an excel lent appetite, and lives withal a hearty life. One is naturally5 curious to know how his mind is occupied through all the dreary hours. lie cannot read, for he has been totally blind for thirty years. " Cut off from that source,' he is necessarily cast back upon his memory, arid he ;ha8 'a "most , wondeifuLldexeloP- ment of this faculty. It is exceedingly tenacious. He remembers the most minute and apparently trifling incident or circumstance,: has the entire past every fact and event in his experience before him, piled up like strata,' and summonses at will, or as occasion re? quires, occurrences which have faded from the minds of lu3 friends. Hi I recollection of localities is wonderful. Places that he had visited years ago, before struck with blindness, he can now identify as he rides along so vivid a recollection has he of the relative position of things, as bridges, rivers, &c. He is very expert at mathematical calculations, arid can with great readi ness give," for' example, the number of square inches in an area the number of whose square feet or rods is given him. Of course it must be a world of trouble to take care of this helpless man, but his friends have cheerfully borne the sad burden for more than forty years, lie has now gone to Painesville as a county charge.

A few minutes before eight the busy girl who fills the glasses retires from her place of office; a young man, in black dress coat, his hair curled by a French friseur, and altogether heavily got up, approaches the railing, with important look and step. He is the Ganymede of her Majesty the Empress of the French. lie takes up two or three colored glasses, scans them out and inside with a search ing eye, and places them upon a plate. Then bounding np the steps, he posts himself on a little elevation, so as to be able to discover the illustrations- invalid at the moment of her leaving the villa and appearing in the gardens above.- Another moment, and she comes. A group of seven persons is moving down the hill. The lead is taken by three ladies; then follows another lady,' forming the body of the force; and, the rear is brought up by three gentlemen.-Look at the lady in the center, of the first file, treading with, elastic step and pacing so. cheerfully in the fresh morn ing air. - I hat is the Empress of the French. - Bylier dress you would hard ly think that sbe wields 3Ve scepter :of iasnion, in xne civmzea world.

No sooner is tlie glass einptied than the pitiless vail falls ' Sainted on all sides with obtrusive politeness the Empress responds with indefatigable " affability. The promenade of the. Empress ori these occasions is generally confined to the walls encom parsing" the pond which forms the center of tho part. VTiIIe tho Empress'promeriades, we cannot halp putting to ourselve3 the question is this lady really ill? Her fair complexion, the luster of her eyes, and her energy of manner, would seem to justify a reply in the negative. But she is coming back, and takes the last and closing glass froin the hand of the swallow-tailed juvenile. . With the Empress, the two first ladles of her Conrt are in the habit of using the waters. In the glow of their homeopathic loyalty they fell ill, contracting exactly the same disease us the Empress, -when the latter was ordered to recreate herself with the beneficent qualities of - the Schwall."
