The New Hampshire Election. too O., The telegraph brings us the news thii morning of a gratifying and unexpected; decisive Union victory in New Hampshire. an on too We had looked, of course, for the success of the Union ticket in that State, but had not expected one-half the glorious major ity ol 6,000 which it has given for Gov ernor Smy the. This a is handsome increase on the Union majority for President last fall, and is, if we mistake not, the largest cast for any party for years. The result in the election of Congressmen is not known, but if the majority in the State be as large as reported, the election of all three of the Union candidates is secared. This will be a Union train of one Gilm&n Marston (Union) in place of Daniel Harcy (Dem,) in the 1st District. The State Senate and House are of course Union by overwhelm ing majorities. Thus the first State elec tion of 1S65 results in a yet higher triumph than ever for the Union party. The suc cess of our arms in the field meets with this gratifying response at home. Later. The latest dispatches, which will be found in our special report, confirm the election of all three of the Union can didates far Congress, and increase the re ported majority for the State ticket: The Gold Tumble. Gold 178 t "What terrors that announce ment will bring to the semi rebel gold operators of "Wall stret ! The tumble in gold has commenced most indubitably. The news from Sheridan, the metamor phosis of defeat into victory at Kinston, the advance of Sherman, the probability of the fall of Mobile, and above all the sound and healthful financial policy an- menced by Mr. Secretary McCullough, have combined to produce this fall in its price. Gold, on its downward course, has fallen almost ai low as it was a year ago, and positively lower than it has been since the 19th of May, 18C4. One year ago to-day it stood at 161. That point will soon be reached and passed, in the downward progress. But in March, 1864 prices were going up steadily, and on the first of July 280 was reached. Everything looked gloomy. People doubted and trembled. How prices are going down steadily. Gold has fallen one hundred per cent, since the loth day of July, 1864. The currency is being contracted. The war is being pushed to a close. The end of the rebellion is visible. Everything else is going down with gold I A pleasant prospect for the country, truly, but a black one to rebels and gold speculators. Another Panic in Richmond. The rebels in Bichmond have had an other terrible scare and indeed are prob ably still shaking with alarm. "Sheridan, Sheridan, galloping Sheridan," has dashed up to within twenty miles of the Confed erate capital, carrying havoc with him, and utterly destroying the James Eiver canal r a distance of more than a hun dred miles. At this point, where he was last heard from, he was demolishing the Beaver Dam aqueduct of the canal, a mag aiflcent and costly structure, which it will take long months to rebuild. This ac count lends additional credibility to the rumor that our forces have taken Burk's Station, destroying the Bichmond and Danville and Petersburg and Lynchburg roads. Sheridan will find no difficulty in continuing his gallop to Grant's left, at Hatcher's Bun. The Bichmond papers, which make it a rule of late not to mention a single Con federate defeat, have been very reticent about Sheridan's movements, but this proves nothing except that he has met with no disaster. If this movement is suc cessful it will necessitate the evacuation of Bichmond, and indeed the rebels seem to be preparing for that movement, if they have not already commenced it. The troopers of the Second Ohio Cavalry are with Sheridan in his glorious gallop across Virginia. 2d bill of to 1864-, in The country will learn with deep regret that President Lincoln is confined to his bed by illness, and their anxiety lest hit in disposition may prove serious will be great. The life of. the President has been esteemed of priceless value by the people, but the recent " illness " of the Vice President has made Mr. Lincoln's good health still more desirable than ever. says The State of New York held an election yesterday to ratify the Constitutional Amendment appointing Commissioners of the Court of Appeals. It was adopted by vote of two to one. Not one twentieth of the voters cast their ballots. by She Libby Prison and Belle Isle Emptied. It will be a matter of sincere rejoicing to our citizens that in the progress of the exchange of prisoners at least two of the rebel charnel-houses have been cleaned out. The honors of Libbv and Belle Isle are, we now. trust and believe, things of the past. Once emptied, the progress of our arms and the rapid conveyance of our forces npon Bichmond, will prevent their ever being filled again. The Bichmond Examiner, of the 10th, hat the following: Yesterday the flag-of-truce steamer car ried down to Varina between five and six hundred six and wounded Yankeeprisonera gathered from the Bichmond hospitals. This morning the residue of well prisoners held in Bichmond about nine hundred will be forwarded to the exchange ground. Up to last evening no order had been re ceived by Major Turner, Libby command ant, to include Generals Crook and Kelley in the shipment, but it was supposed they would go. N. W.

It is pretty well established that another considerable portion of Lee's army, com prising Mahone's division left our front last night. It is supposed that they have been sent to arrest the movements of Sheridan, A rebel corporal says it is currently re ported in Lee's Army that Sheridan has already captured Lynchburg after a brief battle.

LATE FROM REBELP0M. A returned Union prisoner who reached Annapolis to-day direct from Bichmond, communicates some interesting intelligence in relation to the affairs at Bichmond and the movements of Sheridan. He was con fined in Castle Thundor, and through the friends of the Union obtain ed much infor mation relative to the events transpiring about which the Bichmond papers are silent On Saturday night last Richmond was thrown into intense excitement by the announcement that Sheridan was near the city. Alarm bells were rung, arid every available man that could be spared was hurried into the ranks. The enemy was said to be at Beaver Mills aqueduct, on the James river, twenty miles from the city, destroying the canal the main feeder of Bichmond. The excitement continued all night, and increased to a panic throughout Sunday and down to Monday morning. When he left the alarm still prevailed. It was understood that Sheridan had suc ceeded in the destruction of the aqueduct, blowing it up with gunpowder; and it would take at least six months to repair the damage done by him during Sunday aiternoon. Picket's division passed Csstle Thunder great haste, on the way to meet General Sheridan. There was a ferry near the aqueduct, and was believed to be Sheridan's purpose to cross the James and strike the Danville railroad near the coal fields, where there is an extensiys bridge, destroy that, and thus complete the destruction of the communi cations of Bichmond and then unite with Grant Movements indicative of the abandonment of Bichmond, have been progress some time. The heavy ma chinery for manufacturing iron has been removed. Also the machinery of their percussion cap manufactory, and all the carpenters in town were at work filling the large GoV?rsment orders for packing boxes. The high water in the James had sub sided es much that the boat which conveys prisoners from Bichmond could not pass above Bocketts as she had been doing pre viously from this circumstance. It is hoped that Sheridan will find less difficulty crossing the streams in his line of march. ly NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTIONS.

The Herald's correspondent from in front Kinston, N. G, dated the 11th, gives the following account ol tne ngnting there: On Wednesday, the 8th, the enemy, con sisting of Hoke's division made determined effort to turn our flank. They came up rather unexpectedly and furiously and the consequence was the loss on our part of a large portion 01 two regiments wno were flanked by superior numbers. The left of the line held by the second division Gene Carter, fought desperately, resorting to the bayonet when their ammunition was exhausted. To compensate for the losses here Colonel Savage, of the 12th New York cavalry, made a detour on the rear and captured nearly one hundred prisoners. The same afternoon an attack was made our right and repulsed without loss. General Schofield came up in the after noon and assumed command. Night coming on the action ceased. Captain Fish, of the 12th New York cavalry, had lost two small howizers, and Captain Kelsey's artillery had lost a Napo leon gun. We had taken perhaps two hundred prisoners during the day. so to Thursday morning, the 9th, Malloy fully regained his origiual position and contin ued to hold it The enemy charged upon him three times in the forenoon and were each time easily repulsed, with some loss o life and small loss of prisoners to them. The forenoon was mostly occupied with light skirmishing along tne whole line. We still held our original line, ample breast- wur& uaving Deen erected and stout hearts occupying both of them and the skirmish pits. All through the evening of the 9th, and night and morning of the 9th and 10th tne rebel fury again belched forth.

Mr. Hoard is a highly respected citizen, who has lived in Chicago for more than a quar ter of a century.

Mr. Hoard is one of the beet Bepublicans in the Bepublicans in the city an old wheel horse in the party. We have no doubt but he will mako a popular and efficient Postmaster. The present incumbent Mr. John L.

Some of the most important and valuable improvements in troduced into the postal service during tne past four years have been made at his in stance and suggestion. He will leave the post which he has filled so ably with the best wishes and the cordial esteem of the entire public. Chicago Tribune. A Good Reply. D. Williams, one of the Committee of citizens at Charleston charged with the distribution of the rice, called and asked an order should be issued requiring colored people to meet at specified places on one day, and the whites on the day succeeding. Colonel Woodford de clined to issue it, on the ground that he did not intend to use the words white, black or colored in any official order. His answer was quite epigrammatic: "Sir, when a man approaches me with the shield of loyalty before him, he seems bright that I cannot see that he is black ; and when he comes with the shield of dis loyalty, he looks so black that I cannot see that he is white I" The St Louis papers say that Brigadier General Thomas L.

[From the New Orleans True Delta, Feb. 16.] By a late arrival from Matamoras we learn some of the particulars that led to the closing of the United States consulate at that place. Prior to tha 1st of Decem ber, 1864, Mr. L. Pierce was the accredited commercial agent of the United States resident in Matamoras. He had obtained his exequatur from Juarez, and his official position has been recognized by the impe rial government, as having been established prior to the installation of the new regime. But it appears that on the 1st of Decem ber last our government sent out Mr. Etch inson as consul. Mr. Pierce endeavored to assist the new consul in procuring the necessary official recognition to enable him to perform the duties of his office. Application was made to General Mejia ior permission to act Dy Mr. Etchinton until his exequatur could be obtained from Mexico. Mejia promptly granted the re quest, but the prefect, who reports directly vo vne secretary or Htate, refused. This functionary informed the consul that no recognition of any of Mr. Etohinson's acts could De had until he received his exequa tur. He then wrote to the Secretary r c-. . . . . 1 .... ,. . - ui auua, u lne t.ny 01 iMextco, a state ment of the case, and received in reply an order to direct that tire United State con sulate at Matamoras be closed at once. This letter was receive-1 on the day of the news of the capture of Fort Fisher reached Mat amoras. In honor of the even tha United States flag was displayed from the office. The prefect, with more consideration than could have been expected under the circum stances, postponed sending official notice to cioee up until alter sunset when he knew the flag would be taken . own, of course. in tne evenne, however, the order came. news of which spread rapidly throughout me town, and caused jut. fierce s house to be oesiegcd by a crowd of anxious citizens ot the United States, who still regarded mm ar possesse a 01 some power and influ ence, ihe papers and records of the office were packed up, and removed to Mr, Pierce s house, and the office left closed. Mr. Pierce left Matamoras, on the 16th, with the intention of returning soon. For some time previous to leaving Mexico, Mr. fierce naa txien engaged in official corres pondence with General Mejia, on the sub ject of delivering up alleged fugitives to tne rebel autnoriues at xirownsville. In reply to protests against this practice, the uenerai answered that he only that he only ordered the return of those guilty of some crime 01 magmiuae, and tnat in is was done under an extradition treaty. While. however, this was the avowed theory, the practice went far beyond, and included the delivery up of any body wanted by tne reoeis. more 13,01 course.no dim culty in trumping up a charge to prefer against any one,and as there is no trial nor examination, except to take the fugitive before the chief alcalde, and make a lora:al demand and identify the person, it opens the door to the rebels to drag from the triendly and neutral shores of Mexico any one who may be thought to be hostile to tne contederate cause, or may be useful as conscupt It was officially given out however, that fugitive slaves were not surrendered. There is unquestionably an attempt on the part of the Brownsville rebels and their sympathizers in Mata moras to complicate the relations existing between the United States and Mexico, and, if possible, provoke hostilities. By this means they hope to call in the aid of x ranee, and thus bring the weight of that power to bear on the rebel side in the great contest that has been waged for four years, and with results so unexpected and dis heartening to the rebels. The refusal of our Government to recognize Maximilian arttuiiy used by public enemies m this country to serve their ends, and stir up a feeling of resentment against this country in Mexico. This appears to be the cause of all the difficulty. Charleston Gossip. The following are items from a recent Charleston letter to the Xew York Tri bune : CALLING THE ROLL. B. Toombs once declared that he would yet call the roll of his slaves under the shadow of Bunker Hill. It was intimated that there were at one time certain Massa chusetts politicians who could have re- ponded to it with considerable propriety. But however that may be, "wi-uns" have got ahead of B. Toombs. One of his late chattels was enlisted as a soldier at Savan nah recently, so that our officers are calling his slave roll lor mm. I heard an officer of high rank in this department state that the daughter of Rob ert Toombs waits ou his table, but that she does not dare to address him by the en dearing name of father; for her name is not recorded in the leal of the big ha' Bible, but in the roll which he threatened to call at Bunker Hill ! PIETY QUAINTLY EXPRESSED. At a funeral at St Augustine, Florida, a short time since, a colored preacher was enlarging on the gratitude that the freed men owed to God for the marvelous deliv erance that he had wrought in their behalf. As repeated to us, bis climax was some what in this wise: "My Brethren: General Sherman has done much for us by bringing so many of our people out of pondage ; General rJax ton has been our benefactor by defending us from being imposed on and giving us lands; brother Lynch has deserved our thanks by his care for for our spiritual welfare; but remember, my brethren, that the Lord has done more fjr us than any other man I" Miscellaneous Items. manners gene capital, but evidently Plantation Bitters are coming in.
