Early in tho fall came tho gratifying intolligenco ot tho triumph of the Un ion pr war Party, over tho Disunion or Peace party in Maine, Vermont, Kentucky. California, anil Nevada, and iu October these triumphs were con tinued in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana nnd Iowa. Now come tho November elections, nnd the States of Massachu setts, by a majority of 50,000, New York by a majority 33,000, Wisconsin by a majority of 15,000, Minnesota by 10,000, and Illinois, Maryland and Mis souri, by largo majorities, fall in with tho Grand Army of States which is keeping slop to tho music of tho Union, and marching down to suppress tho robollion. Iu all these Stales tho material issue was tho same, that is, tho naked issue, stripped of all local and minor issues was simply, War for tho Union, or Poaco aud Disunion. Aud tho lesson of these elections is that the peoplo of tho loyal States are determined to prosecute tho war until all armed op position to the Government is over thrown, and to have no peace until peace is conquered by suppressing the rebellion. The result of these elections is a declared purpose on the part of the peoplo to uphold the hands of tho Ad ministration, and to furnish men and money to sustain tho Government, not withstanding tho abolition of Slavery in the District of Columbia, tho conns' cation of rebel property, tho Emanci nation Proclamation, the arming of negroes, and live suspension of the ha hem corpus. What arecalled "arbitrary arrests" may go on, what are cnlled "unconstitutional acts" mny bo com mitted, but so long as theso acts aro done to facilitate thj suppression of the rebellion, tho peoplo will acquiesce in if they do not entirely npprovo of them. For our own part, wu approve of most of the war measures of the Ad ministration, ami boliovo that tho e lections are ar endorsement of its poli cy, and that tho most emphatic and ti iumphant over received by an Ad ministration. Tho lesson to tho Copperhead or Pciu e party is Death. Let it lie, while tho car of War runs on and crushes the rebellion. The politicians of tho Peace party may loam that eloe tions cannot bo carried on minor is sues, when tho groat questions of Gov ernment or no Govornmcnt.nnd of Un ion or Disunion, nro dependent upon tho result. Henceforth, if tho peace j politicians aro shrewd, they will dd claro in favor of tho war, and wo may look for two war parties in tho coming contest fighting the battle on somo other issue than War and Peace; but if they persist in their ill-judged and im practicuble policy of opposing the war, wo may look for a great and irresisti ble Union or War party, winning tho Presidential campaign against a fac tion composed of Peace Democrats, sympathizers with tho robullion, and Northern secessionists. Tho lesson of tho elections to tho friends of free institutions will not go unheoded. There is a load gono from tho hearts of tho friends of popular gov ernment, aud heneolorlh they look at tho future with brighter anticipations, and rest in a renewed confidence in the capacity of tho people for self-government. In 18G3 it was decided that demagogues nnd traitors could not do.'eivo tho peoplo into overthrow ing their own Government, and that they have tho practical senso and in lelligenco to know their interest, to do their duty, anl to govern themselves Writing onr Prlaoncrl. For some time the rebel papers have shown strong symptoms of an np pi'oaching famine in the South, and in dications have reached us that Federal prisoners in tho hands of the rebels were being only half fed. A late Rich niond paj.or spoke of tho immense quantity of food consumed by 13,000 "hungry Yankees'' hold at Richmond, ami hinted that, in case of greater scarcity, when they would l;o com pel led to ciiooso lielwcen their own people and tho Yankees, tho Yankees would nutter. Letters lately received from Federal officers in tho Richmond prison state that daily meat-rations have been discontinued, and dispatches from Washington announce that th Government is about to take measures to furnish our prisoners with provis ions. What a commentary upon tire power abundant capacity, and fatherly care oftho Government under which we I live, and also upon theexhaustcd, help less and miserable condition of that great failure of tho nineteenth ccntu y called the Confederate Government! b Not Indicted .

The Bo- many "hungry Yankees" in the Bich-; moud prisons. Meat rations have been discontinued to the prisoners, and tho 1 ' rebel army is represented as being on ly half fed. Desertions aro frequent, and captures of rebel prisoners made easy, becauso of their half-starved condition nnd tho prospect of suffi cient food within the Federal lines. While military operations during the coming winter will be impeded by bad roads, high waters, and winter quarters, the famine will le at work suppressing the rebellion. By spring the new levy of troops will bo in tho field, the armies will bo strengthened and rested, and a few months' opera tions will perhaps finish forever the exhausted Confederacy. In all thisi wo do not rejoice at the famino. Heav en help tho poor of tho South, many of whom are friends of tho Union. But we recognize tho -famino as an agent and co-worker in suppressing tho rebellion over which wo have no control nnd for which we aro not responsible. The Split Iu (he Democracy. Since tho elections the Democratic papers have run into an. interesting quarrel. Tho New York World, Cleve land Plaindoalor, and Ohio Statesman, have declared iu favor of a vigorous prosecution oftlio war, and aro gently condemning their brethren of the peace permission, and calling the nomination of Vallaudigham a mistake. Bui the voice of the New York News, tho Cin cinnati Enquirer, tho Columbus Crisis, nnd similar sheets .is still for peuco. Tho Enquirer insists that tho Democ racy nro for poaco, and cannot be carried over to tho war policy. Who will triumph we aro unable to say, but "a house divided against itself," &c. Tho best thing that could happen for the Union party, is for the Vallaudig ham journals and politicians to again take control of tho organization, and fijht tho campaign on tho poaco prin ciple.

There were ,'!25 wagons heav ily laden with wood, 10 drays of Hour. and 90 wagons filled with farm pro duce.

AVe invite tho attention of our rend ers to tho above items, clipped from the telegraphic columns of tho daily pap ers, IV e would suggest to the larm crs and business men of Fairfield, the importance of similar donations to the families of soldiers in thiscounty, From observation, we know that many of (he soldiers' families will ho sorely pinch ed during tho coming winter for the necessaries id' life. The lev) under the late act providing for tho relief of sold iers' families is scarcely sufficient to keep them in fuel. There' are many oftho substantial men of the county, who, to induce men to volunteer, prom ised that their families should not suf fer while they were absent fighting the battles of tho Republic. We now call the attention of such to the sub ject, and to the promises made, in tho hope that they will look up tho famil ics of our gallant soldiers, and give them any needed assistance. HOW TO STOP VIOLATIONS OK TIIK CONSTITl'TIO.H. The New York World, the leading Democratic journal of New York, publishes tho following sensible article on the folly of the Peuco Democrats, and the way to restrain what il thinks unconstitutional tendencies oftho Ad ministration. Eet the Peace Demo crats read and remember that the ou- ly way to "effectually restrain the un constitutional measures oftho Admin- istration," is to end the war, and that . . the people will not "allow tho war end in any other way than by the tri umph ol tho Union over armed oppos stion : From the Now York World, Nov. 6, 1M3.

But the peace mea liave been stupidly and eijregiously wrong in supposing that the people of tho loyal States would al- publicans have dextrously put these as lar lls po-k into the background, !?ml l tho people the simple i iskiio ft llm v!ii It. is the war. nnu not the administration, which the peo ple have indorsed ; and beyond r.n in dorsement of the war heso elections have no significant. We ask the peace men to accept tho logic of events. Tho war is,indoed, tho ready excuse of the Administration fur its stretches of power ; this excuse, as the advocates of peace j.istly maintain, must bo ta ken away by ending the war. But us tho people have declared they will not allow tho war to end except by the tri umph of our arms, the only way to bring the Administration to trial for its malversation is to dispose, as spie l uy as possible, of the case which stands first on the docket. It is clear that while war lasts no party can succeed that docs not make its energetic prose cution tho paramount object. We said this, in substance, after tho Connecti cut election ; wo repeated it alter the Maino election ; we reiterated it after tho Ohio election ; wo trust it needs no further enforcement now.

He would have been a great fool if he had been a candidate after the Maryland election, which sealed the hopes of any possi bility of uuiting the Peace Democrats, Border State men aud weak kneed Ad ministration men, to get a majority. Besides it is understood effective meas ures havo lately been taken to make General Blair, as well as his brother, understand thit their warfare on the Administration from the Administra tion ranks, had better bo Btopped. It is now stated that General Blair will not be hero atall unless his vote should be necessary to aid tho Administration in organizing the house, but will resign his scat in order to take command ot u corps iu Grant's army. THE SPEAKERSHIP. There is no longer, therefore, any serious opposition to Schuyler Colfax for the Speakership except Wushburno. According to indications from all quar ters here the chances aro largely in fa vor of Colfax. SECUETARY CHASE'S REPORT.

Ex-Congressman Casey, of'Kentticky is hero from Yicksburg.

A Tennesseo petition, brought here by Dr. Bowen, asks that no election be held now, becauso the State is not in a fit condition. It asks that when an election is held, only loyal men of the unconditional Union standard bo per mitted to vote, and that all others be denied the right of citizenship, and earnestly urges every effort to pro mote the recruiting of negro troops.

The Provost Marshals havo been in structed by Colonel Parrott, Provost Marshal General of tho State, to as sign the quota of each ward and town ship in his respective district, as soon as possible, and have tho samo pub lished, so that thoso subject to draft may know what is required of them. There is no doubt but that a grert many of these sub-districts will raise their quotas by volunteering, and sho'd they do so they will not be subject to the conscription, though the district at largo may still be behind in tho mat ter. We trust that the people of Ohio will not be backward on this subject. but on tho contrary, that they will all put their shoulders to tho wheel ut once, nml should they do so, Ohio will be able to say to rather Abraham by tho New Year, that her quoto has been raised by voluntary enlistments. That is what we can and should do, and it rests with tbo people to say whether it shall bo dono. 0. S. Journal. ORDINATION. Zanesville.
