The Republicans are cUiming a great victory In Ohia. A few facta rill ventilate the dutiful character of the triumph, aul the fraudulent mean ced by the Admioijtrationist to elect their can Mates.

The Democrats polled for Mr. Villa Dion am a hrger vote, about 16,000, than was ever given before for a Democratic candidate for Governor, yet it appears by the reported Agares thai he is beaten ho me 60.000 rotes. In thia connection, and in centrist, we give the Tote for the Republican candidates for Governor preriou. to the election in 161: Cli ! raS. 14000 CTtlalS . 1 HOT- 1f4f l0O Denr.iaon ..l-O 15, (KM) Mr. Valla muh am receive 187,000 rotes, 2.0U0 more than were given to any Republican candidate beUeeo 1K5 and 18j9. Id 1SC1. when Tod waa elected Governor, the total vote waa 365.000. Tliij was uniloubiedlr a full vote, and the number of men who have since gone to the field would larcely. overcome the natural increase in the voting population. From the official return to the War Department it appear that Ohio has pent some 1 10,000 tnen to the field. Mr. Vallasdiüham received 157,000 vote, 9.000 more than one halt o( the entire vole kit en when Tod was elected Governor, yet he ia beaten by a majority ot GO.'KM). These facts and figures will give some idea of the enormous frauds practiced bv the adherents of the Administration to carry the elections in Ohio and override the popular will. Arbitrary Power. The extent of power umed by the Preiident of what h been regarded a popular government, is hardly appreciated by the people. The District Attorney of the Unl'ed States Court in Maryland. repreenting the government, made use of the followin significant language in reference tbeieto a few days ago: "The President has a sura of power more nighty than that of the Casars more resistles.a than that of any King or poteurate ot the whole earth." nercher lirlaltaanltr Some one tends to the London Times the fol lowing: 7 the Editor of the London Timet: I hive read vour excellent comments on the address of the Rer. Henry Ward Beecher, delivered recently at GIagow. In order to expose to your readers the iiicon.-i?tency of that "war Christian. the following extracts from his i; cech at New lhvcn, Comie:ticut, in lt6. Arc furnished: "The people will not have war, nor inaugurate a revolution, even to relieve K'iii!, until thev have firt tried whxt thev can do ty votin?. If this peaceful remedy should fail to be applied this year, then the people will rouut ll.e cost wistlv and riet-tl for themael vs boldly and firmly which if the tetter way tori?e in arms arid throw off a government wire thtn that of old King George, or endure it another tour rears, and then vote gain. "The Constitution is the caue of every division which this vexed juesiion of slavery lias ever occasioned in this country. It hi been the fount-tin and father of all our trouble. ty attempting to hold together as reconciled two opposing principles, whit h will not harmonize nor agree. The only hopot the lave is over the rums of the government and of the American Church. The dissolution of the Union is the abolition of slavery." In the same fpcech this amiable brother of Mrs. Harriet Peecher Stowe s-tid tht a Sharpe's rifle was "truly moral agency." Vour obedient servant, G. Meli. Hkkchkb. is lecturing in Knglatd, and i-, of course, hard on rebels. A Sr amtoloii llnlne. The countrv miy make n; its oi-nd that the eampaiffn in Virginia is over until alter the New York Sute election. True, Lee tn iv force ft fight, but General Meale hasorJers to runaway, as be did before, rather than risk a battle with bis army deleted, as it will be, of the be.-t por tion of the New York troops, ho are to bcfcni home to vote An order has already been isued by Stanton allowing a furlough to all disabled or ic soldiers or theiew lorK regmienvs, wno may at once return to their homes, at the public expense, and remain until the 10th of November next. Of course, only such as are of the riht tripe will be allowed to come home, and we further understand that this order applied to ailinjr scldiers in camp as well as thoe iu hospitals. The object, of course, is to send home every soldier who pledges himself to vote for the Republican ticket. He will be allowed to play sick if bis politics are all right. Wheu the War Ol5 e organ and the Administration papers annouueed that General Meade could not do anything for three weeks, because it would take that much time u repiir the rail road destroved by the rebels, they offered it as an excuse for the enforced idleness of the army, which will reallv be due to the ab-euce of the Ne Yotk troop. Now, we put it to the countrv if this is not in every way a candalous business. (cu. Meade ; la e mpeüed to rrtret betöre Lee because j hi Pennsvivantt troop ar home voting, and thru the rest ot tne lad cnipugn mut come to naught, o that the Administration may ue the w Yrk soldiers to cory another State elec tion. This I tre to the cau-e 0f ihe n ition, beeaoe it is impeiüinz ibe fate of the Union bv mi-using it armies; it is a breach of fith to those who offer their lies an 1 fortunes for their country. as the military energies of the wlnle people re pervrrtei to private u-e,and i'. is shimefully upiust to the Dem cratlc soldiers, who, alter sharing the dangers of the butlefie'd and the marah. are compeilc! to remain in camp, while their Repi?Jicau compwiiona in arms arc allowei to come home in the mi Idle of an ctivt cun paign arvt vote. We feel sure that, if the people of this State come to thoroughly un!t.taud tlie erwrmitv of u-in soldier to vote when the nati n demand all their enerci o the field, the Administration will lose more than it gains by the New York World. The Copperhead newspaper have determined to ruin th reputation of Gen. Rosecrans a patriot and a oldier, merely because the tft nin iatratioa fimls it oeceary to place another General in command of hi army.

Tw DisiaTtas JvitLtD The Lafajete ' Courier ravs two deserter?, brothers, by ihe j name of KaionT. were kille! near Walton, eight f miles eit of L'np-irt, on the Kukomo road.j on Mond last They had tip to that time sue-! cefully c! "del arrest. The Litavelte Courier of Welnesliy gives the following particulars ir reference to the affair: Gen. New and Capt. Wm. Wallace, loth oT this city, have been commissioned by Gov. Mo tow to visit the Eighth Congressional Ditrict "to confer with leading men relative to the approaching draft, and if possible to stimulate volunteering so as to iniire the organization of the eleven new regiment? wh'ch have been authorized in Indiana." Thee distinguished gentlemen have let out upxn their patriotic mission. They were at Lafayette on Wednesday, consulting with leading citizens nbout fending men to the war. Gen. New for several years serve! his country most disinterestedly as Clerk of Marion county, and Capt. WaLLacr. is now engaged in the same self denying and self sacriScing position Neither Gen. New, or Capt. Wallace, or Lieut. Gov. Morto.v will ever shoulder their mukets and face the enemy. Tint is not thoe gallant an. I intensely patriotic gentlemen occupation Their business is to "stimulate volunteering," not to volunteer themselves. We understand that His Excellency has sent a similar committee to each of the Congressional districts of the State If the members of this commission are able bodied men, their influence would be a hundred fold greter if they would practically illustrate the advice they give to Others. Ho. David V. Hollowav, Commissioner or Pate.nts "This distinguished gentleman and eflicient oßicor was in our city yesterday on a brief visit, after two years of uninterrupted ah pence and devotion to bis duties. The Patent O.lice his never been more faithfully administer ed than since be took charge of it, and Indisna has no more creditable represent alive in the gov ernment." We clip the aboe from the Indianapolis Jour nal. The official misconduct ot Mr. Hollow ty, as our readers well know, required h Committee of Investigation to be raised in his case last winter by Congress, composed of good, disinterested men from various sections ot the Union, who lound him guilty of most of the chtrges alleged against him, vvenl of which were of a vety serious niture. Among other things, he w;is found by sai l committee to have lost to the gov ernment bv his incompetency r r aecaliiv thes'im of Thirty Eiyht Thousand Vice Hundred Dul lars. In view of these facts, whit can intelligent, bone-t men think of a leading public journal which will publish siuh a "puff" as the. above? Is it any wonder that the venality of the American press Ins become n by word throughout Christendom? Centre ville Republican. Gov. Morron has issued an address to the people of Indiana intruding them as to their duty in regard to providing for the families of soldiers. The Governor in his excessive vanity and desire to appear as the special friend of soldiers and soldiers families, eems to reg:nl the people as entirely under his tutorage, and treats them as thouzh they were not possessed of sufli cient sense aud humtnity to discharge a patriotic duty without being instructed by him. We sup poe the people know their duty in reference to providing for soldiers' families without intruc tions from his Excellency. It is a very cheap effort to obtain applause Richmond Jeffer 6onian. Mr. Lucas, of Laporte. an attache of the Pro vost Marshal' oflke in the Dili District, got into the neighborhood unsuspected on Monday last, and proceeded to m ike the arrest. Both of the brothers were armed, and one drawing a revolver, hhot Mr. Lucas through the thigh. The officer then fired upon them, shooting one through the heart and the other through the breast.

He is entitled to an election under the present order of thititis; and do one need feel an surprise that hi opponent, who went strongly for the war and the men who conduct it, fhou! 1 he t?en wor.-e beaten than ny Demo erat of the seion The truth fo.Oen.Tuttle. who was forred upon the Democracy of Iowa as a "War Democrat," under which parudoxh! term he whs to get the voles of a majority of the "soldiers" as well as thousand, of the Adminis tration party, found it a losing business to try to compete with the Abolitionists at their own trade when they hail already got the "run of the business." Other things being ejul, that party will generally vote for one of their own men rather than a so ?il!ed Democrat who bids for their votes We do not know that Gen l ull le did lhi; we are bound to believe him an honorable man, and he is known to be a brave sold. er. 11 may, for :uht we know, be utterly opposed to ?u h a cour.-e; but his position cert linly a:i ur.t'ortun ite one. H.s "war" piin ciples did not tve him, any more than a "hi" candidate won'd have saved the t'onnecticut e'eclion to the Democracy last sptirg, if thev had done what the New York Tribune (after the election) paid they tdiould have done in order to carry the State jiauiely, put up t los thoroughly antiwar candidate than Gov. Seymour. The infamous conduct of the Administration party here in removing from the Hench, for u purely partizin purpose, two such able jurists and unobjectionable men as Judge Seymour and Judge WaSdo, quite conclusively disproves the claim that with what are called "moderate m n" on the war question for their candidates the Democracy would secure any considerable portion of the Republic m vote. If tho spotless integrity and deservedly hi-h character of two such men as Judge Waldo and Judge Seymour could not avail to save them from the relentless partisan proscription of nbolitionim. nor the Renin from being transformed into a partisan tribunal, w I at could be expected of any man, in any position?

In deed, ihe latter gentleman has tieeti quite as bit terlv and unjustly assailed by these Jacobins s ever VallanJigtum was. Il shows tint it is a great mistake for Democrats to im igine that the can placate the howling fiend, abolitionism, or gin even a dearly purchised ephemeral success, by putting up distinctive "war"' men for their candidates.

The movement of the Army of the Potomic which is now in progres, and which has been in progress during the whole of Una artk, will re. suit in nothing but disgrace to our arms. For the movement itself, and for its consequences. Gen Medf n in no wie responsible It is a movement onlered to be made by Mr Lincoln alone, and on bis o!e re-pons.b.Iiiy . On Sunday last the President sent Gen Meade a peremptory orotr"to und Gen. Lee's artov and ait.-k it at once, and be (Mede) should hive all the glory of the victory, if he won one, and that he (Mr. Lincoln) would assume all th responsibility of a pos-ible defeat." Think for a moment ot the independent assurance of a man tike Ale Lincoln sending an order of this kind to Gen. Me de! and of the consequences of obeying tne order. Mr. Lincoln has no more conception than a child of what would result fiom the attempted execu tion of this order. Il emanated, in the first place, from those advisers of the Piesident whose per nicious counsels Inve always exercised such a baneful influence over the Executive mind; who procured the promulgation of the emancipation proclamation; who are. at best, mere pirty politiciatis; who make oo pretensions to knowledge of military affairs; hut who urged tiiis step upon the President the same as they bad before urged upon him lo issue tlie emancipation proclamation, and to remove General McClellan from bis command in the army. Yielding to their peiiuasiotis, as he always does aud always haj done. Mr. Lincoln has issued this unfortunite order, and the army hasbeeii engaged in attempt iug to execute it lor the last five days. It is an oider to do the very thing that the administration papers have been congratulating the country that Meade was no longer to do. When Meade's riny retreoed with u h ptecipitation from the Rippahannork to Washington, the administration pipers, under the inspiration ot the W.r Department, tn de Inste to a-.-ur the anxious country that il was all ligh'; thai the retrogade movement wa being midein pui suince of orders troiu the War Department issue I two werks betöre; tint the government had become convinced tint it w as impr tcucsbie to keen the army on a line so far fiora the e ipital as the R :p; ih inbock, because to lo mj tequiie i an urmy ol itself to maintain the long 'inc o! com muiiication be tween the Rappahannock und the capita!, a I'ne consisting of a single truck, r'ekety railroad, 9') miles long, li-le to be cut and broken at any time, to aty nothing; of the extreme difficulty and terrible exneiise of transporting army fiippiies to such 11 dislince This was Found reasoning. Hut this order ol tlie Pies dent com minds Meade t lo the very thing that i here po w i-e!y condemned as impracticable- The advance of (ten. Meade's army to the R ipp ahannock in August list, und bis truitless campaign there duiiug that and the succeeding month, only added one more pi oof to tho-e already existing of the impractic-t. bili'y of the 01 erl ind route to R t-hmond. Yet iii view ol tl'at campaign ai d ot the shameful retreat with which it closed in the middle of this month, the President now orders still another campaign to Richmond by this same overland rouie. The ranement, which iegan on Monday l ist and which still continues, wdl only result in a trc'h disaster. Rut whit shall be said of an adui'iiistruiioti that hastens to pi ice the ill used Army of ihe Potomac in the very position of peril Iroui which Meade so skillfully extricated it oiil v a week or two ago? In obedience to this silly order of Mr Lincoln, our array has altedy advance! us far as Warren ton, ami our cavalry as far us the Rippdi mnock Mr Lincoln's order cannot be executed unless the army crosses th it river loonier to decide the question whether or not to cross the Rippa hanuock, (ieo Meade lell the arm? at Wai renton and came up here lo consult ihe PresidenTon the 2-21. It is state! that Mr. Lincoln was not pleased at this step of Meade's, and ordered him to the trout at once and carry out his order liter ally aiid w ithout delav. Certain it is. General Meade went back to the army yesterday, and the w hole force of the construction bureau is hardut work rebuilding the Orange ami Alexandria Riilroad. This wark was so effectually destroyed by Gen. Lee that the engineers sav it would be far less work to nnkea.. entirely new railroad, and it would cost much less, than to repair ihe old one The bridges and culverts are all blown up and burned; six or eight of the deepest t ut? have been filled up with the whole trunks of trees covered with earth, and the rails, for dozens of miles, have been heated red hot and twisted out ol all shape. Imigjue twenty thousand men engaged in this work ol destruction for a week, and you can hive some idea of tho amount of dun ige done Till this road is in perfect order, the urmy can not be fel; and the road cannot be repaired tor three weeks at the very least. Yet Mr. Loicoln shrieks to lien. Meade, '"Go ou at once! Find the enemy and fi;ht him " Lincoln' order is perfectly characteiistic of the man. lie assumes lint Meade has nothing to do but march to the spot where Lee's arruy is supposed to be, and that Lee vtll stand still and permit. Meade to fight him. It would seem that Abe Lincoln is the only person in the country who has not vet learned th.t, as long as the seat of war remains in Virginia, battles can onlv take place at such times as General Lee selects, and upon ground which he has chosen for that purpose. It is heart sickening to turn - from t?:e contemplation of this idiotic movement of Mr. Lincoln to the contemplation of what might be done, if statesmen and real generals were at the hefrof our national affiirs, instead of pitiful politicians and sixth rate lawyers I u order to overwhelm Grant's army at Chattanooga, all the available Confederate troops iu Viigii.ia b ive been sent to the West, and Jeff Da. is himself is there to superintend the woik Richmond is left with no troop, except the gt.ntiers in ihe fortifications. The long railroad from Wilmington to the rebel capi'ii, it is said, in-ti'.id of being c.utrdedby .'15.H00 troops, hs it was n I v a te-.v weeks ago, is now left in charge of onlv 10.00 men. Tlie Administration tie er had 0 f ivor di!e an opportunity lor the c apiuie of Richmond if the proper route be s le ied. as the prf'iit. Rut this opportunity, like all other real opportunities for ending the war, will be- thrown away by the Administration, whose -dm il is. not to termin ite, but to protract the war. X.

The eastern limit of this vast ter riiory is formed by the Atlautic Ocean, which washes its shores irom the mouth of Delaware Bay to the Cape of Florida, a distance of 1 .5b0 miles. Its southern boundary ftretches from the Cape of Florida, along ihe shores of the (Julf uf Meiico. to t e tn juth of the Rio (.rnle. a distance of 1,2 10 miles. This immense line of se-t coast i d itted with convenient bays and harbors, and Is iutersected at short intervals bv large and navigable rivers, whose branches spred and ram ify through every ptrtof the inteiior. Among these may be mentioned the great Mississippi, which for ihe last 1,200 miles of its course flows through slave territory, and belongs exclusively to the Confederate Sums. An extensive system of railways already extends its Briireiu arms through the land, and the day is not distant when the whole country will be covered with a net woik of those ariitici! channels of communica tion, and wheu the meunol rp:d imei course ami exchmge will be estiblislied between its remotest extremities.

Who chail veniuie to say tint such a country, in the hands ol si brave, inie ligeut, entcrptising, libeity loving race, may n'i attain ihe very acme ot national prosperity and grandeur? And. without anoyance, such a race ru y cl ora to be in pioof id" which we cite tlie fact, not ouly of the development, -progress, and culture exhibited in the States com potior the O'oniederacv, but the indisputable tact that ihe wealth of tne old government, the wisdom of its laws, the glory of its anus, it prestige and pjwer, were in linl v due to sotithtru intellect and valor, and the productions of southern labor and soil. Kvery page of the kijw closet history of what was tne United States is lustrous with the jrenius ..f southern minds and the achievements of southern courage. With such a country, inhabited by a peopl3 capable of defending it, and capable, too, of turn inc its great natural advantages to tht most productive uses, nothing is needed to secure the highest prosperity and happiness, but wi.-e institu tions, judiciom legislitioiis, and a prudent administration of public affairs. In these te-pects it is ur good fortune to have had the levelling of some of the wisest statesmen, and the examples of fume of the purest oatriots the world h is ever Feon. Washington. Madison and M aon. Taylor of Carolina, and Randolph of Ronioke. and many others, from a single one ot the-e Sutes, have left impeiishabie legacies of statesmanship and patriotism for the guidance of all alter ges In addition we hive as a stern and petp.'ttnl warning the shipwreck f the Northern States, the re.-ult of radical and agrarian theories, of demagogical agitations and knavish practices Add to these the great conservative substratum of slavery as the basis of our society and institutions, and we may fairly indulge the hope that the people of the Conlederate States will not permit them-elvps to be misgoverned Lv't this hope be retlized, and, with the favor of the Great Di poser of hum in destinies, what will be waning to enibie the Confederate Sttes to occupy a front rank atnon the great powers of the earth? Great iu capabilities, they would soon become greit in redity. We presume that no reasonable in in will deny that they are cipble of supporting at least as dense a population, in prnpoition. as Massachusetts. The number there to the square mle is 126 This number, multiplied by the squaie miles composing our territorial area. would give a population of more than a hundred millions. We may therefore assume that the Confederacy is abundantly üble to maintain a popuUlioti of one hundred inidions 1 number f utücjent to satisfy either vanity or ambition. Hut recuirng to our pte-ent condition, and leaving the future to take care of itself, the sta pie production of our soil, our cotton, tobacco, rice, t-ugar and bieadstuffs, constitute he basis t a toiei:n trade that must make commercial alb ances and treaties of trade with us desirable to all commercial nations. Cotton, th principal product of our soil, is the irost important article of commerce in the world. Cotton clothes onehalf ot the human race, that is, about f:KI ()(K).OO0 of human beings, and two thirds of all the cotton in the wotld has been grown in the Confederate State. The foreign commerce of Great Britain consists almost entirely in the ex-liatige of her manufactures for the rude products of other coun tries, and nearly one-halt of her export ate mm ufactures of cotton. It is est im it es that the manufacture of this material employs capital of $400,000 000, and gives employment to at least 5.0000 000 of her people. It is evident from this statement that the Confederacy Ins its hand on the m me of the KriiUh lion, and that beast, po formidable to all the rest of the world, must finally crouch to her. We nee not advert to the commercial advan t igs which the Con'ederacy will derive fiom the establishment of diret t trade w ith lorcign coutitres, por the facilities which we possess .r in vi g ilion and m iiiur.o tiii-s It w ill be a singular anomaly, indeed, if with a res co it of neai I v three thousand t miles in ex'ent the Confederate States do not become a gre it n v I power, :nd it will be e.jti illv strange if they fail to turn to account the abiiiidint elements of in inuttcturmg prospeiity with which tl.ey are so bountitully endowed bv nature. Indeed, we re dwelling on s'-.'jects with whith our own people re generali v familiar, aid which tin se td o' her rouo'i ies re begitii.in r.inidiy to comniehei.d. We therefore close this article ithout fi ving ui-re ih n opened thedror to iheilimitableand smiling pro.-pect upi.u wh cii it looks. (it ne ml Iluell Acqtiillc d.
