Abraham Lincoln is rc-elected Pres ident by a very large Electoral and Mill more dcciaive Popular majority. He can no longer be taunted as a mi nority President, and no practical question can arise as to the counting of the votes of dubious States, lie is North-western and other Rebel-para- site Confederacies. His Administra tion is stamped with popular approba tion, and he may now go on with the work of subduing Rebellion, while re storing and paoifying the Union. With four clear years before him, it is hardly possible that he should not suc ceed. Andrew Johnson is likewise elected circumstances into one of the most de termined, effective enemies of the Reb el Slave Power. The country has few sounder or purer patriota than Vice President Hamlin, whom we shall spare from public life with regret but be could give place to no man worthi er, better or more acosptable than An drew Johnson. We have carefully scanned the elec tion returns and can assure our read ers that the popular votes of the sev eral States bIiow as nearly as can be ascertained the following: MAJORITIES FOR UNCOLK.

The number necessary to elect is 116. The States that do not vote in this election are Alabama, Arkansas, Flor ida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Caro lina, Sonth Carolina, Texas, Old Vir ginia. The States of Tennessee, Louisiana and Nevada may or may not vote. The District Court for Floyd connty adjourned on Saturday. But very lit tle business of importance was trans acted. The Grand Jury found no bills. W. G. Bates was admitted to the Bar on certificate from a Vermont Bar, and Hervey Wilbur and Boultonwere admitted upon examination. The Floyd ooonty Board of Super visors are iu session in this village the present week. We now have tolerable sleighing in thia vioiuity although & saow would improve it, lfftlffM[TAra s Will Vegroes Fight for Slavery After deriding the employment of the negro as a soldier, the Southern press is now urging the rebel govern ment so to employ him. Ater ridicul ing the policy of tempting him to our armies by the pledge of freedom, that press now insists that freedom be of fered him as an inducement to fight in the rebel cause. After often and emphatically declaring freedom ouly a curse, and slavery solely a blessing to the negro, the secession philoso phers now eloquently portray the pro priety of rewarding the fighting ne gro with freedom After laying down •lavery as the corner stone of their model government, they propose with freedom to pay their slaves for becom ing soldiers for that government! Such is the coherence of the logic of slavery's rebellion against popular and free institutions. How thorough ly has the course of events demonstra ted the absurdity of those theories on tohich the corrupt casuists of the feonthern political and theological schools have attempUi lo jnstify their insurrection 1 At laat the chivalry recognize in the negro the elements of a heroic manhood. This is a great confession for the Southern mind. Northern men liave long almost universally regard ed mere animal courage as far from the highest of the qnalitics that enli lie their possessor to esteem aud to freedom. In the laud of the duelist, the New England idea of moral cour tage, and the snperiori ty of honest toil, liave been scouted at and despised, and the free laboring masses sneered at as mud-sills," fit ouly to be own ed as property. To-day the Southern er has come to accord to his slave the pessession of those qualities on which he had been taught to pride himself as superior to the Northerner—the qualities that make the soldier—and to acknowledge that the display of those qualities in exercise entitles their possessor to freedom How long a step in advance will it be to admit that the having those qnalities proves that he who has them was designed by nature to be free Wait man oritatnori tlte »1»v« of Ml to Ml, Yoked w itb the bruto» and tatfvwiH, Weight*1 in tlM tyrant'* balance with bin goldf Mo I Nature gtamiwd hitu in a lioaveul} mould I" Something of this mould the haugh ty slave aristocracy, through their own experience of weakness, are be ginning to discover in the down-trod den black man. Failing in their fight for the sweet privilege of keeping their foot upon his race, they offer to withdraw the heel of tyranny from Huch individuals of the abject race as «rill aid them in trampling upon the rest of that race forever Is it possible that so desperate and base an effort of perishing wickedness can aucoecd Han it be that tho his torian of these times will ever be cal led to pen such a paragraph as this "When slavery and its confederacy were on the point of utter defeat, they were saved, and the slavery of ne groes was made eternal, through the employment of negroes as the soldiers of such slavery Such a result may safely be act down as morally impos sible. Heaven cannot permit it. The Southerners have not finished their ed ucation in learning, at last, that the negro is fit for a soldier. They have yet to learn that be is unfit to fight for slavery. General Steele, fa Arkansas, has captured a train of 35 wagons of Price's Missouri plunder, 200 horses and $11,000 iu money. Price's main force at last accounts was in the neighborhood of Fort Smith, which is held by General Thayer. The war iu Missouri for the last time has played out, to be heard of no more in this war, save in small local distnrbaoces that will die out speedi ly and leave the wasted homes of Mis souri to Peace, Union, aud Freedom. Nevada, now a State by a law of Congress and the President's procla (nation, began her territorial existeuce jjNtarch 2d, 18G1, with 81,000 square Jim ilea of domain, of which 11,000 were taken from Western Utah and 10,000 from Northern California. Nevada has a larger area than either Wash ington or Nebraska territories, and by population will be entitled to one member of Congress, in addition to the two Senators dne her as a State. The result of the election in Illinois foots up abont 31,006 Uuion majority in the State at large, a Uuion majori ty in the Legislature on joint ballot of eighteen, aud the election of eleven Uuion Congressmen out of the fourteen —a gain of aix members. Nobly done, Illinois I A Richmond paper gives two im portant (if true) itema of news, to wit: that there is a large fleet of Uu ion iron clads in James river, below Butler's canal, and that Grant's troops, instead of going into winter-quarters, are preparing for a movement on Wil mington, N.

Thomas, now in Hood's front, has also been satisfacto rily reiuforced and strengthened, and is amply sufficient to insure that Hood can do no damage to speak of iu Ten nessee or Kentucky, which seems to be his aim. The news from Grant's army brings intelligence of a smart repulse to the rebels on Saturday, on the old fighting ground before Petersburg, with a loss so severe to them, that they have since obtaiued a truce to bury their dead. Grant is strong, qniet, confi dent, and the rebels cannot shake him off, nor looseu his grip. The rebels are getting disgusted with the war. They now begin to advocate a convention of the States for the settlomeut of the difficulty.

It is the real duty of every parent to keep a constant supply of it in tho i house, ready for immediate use. Not only is it a moRt splendid remedy for coughs, sudden colds, influenza, croup, and all throat complaints, bnt it is the consumptive's great relief.

Harvey Sickler, Esq., the able edit or of the Tunlhafinock [Pa.] Democrat, publishes the following in his issue of 30th Oct., 1861 We deem it dne to Messrs. J. C. Ayer & Co., and the pnblic, to make known our experience with the nse of their Ext. SAns.APARii.iji in our family, by stating the circumstances under which it was taken and its effects. When our only child, now in his third year, was about eight months old, a sore appeared first in small pimples on his forehead over his nose. These rapidly increased and uniting formed a loathsome, virulent sore, which finally spread over his forehead and face, not even excepting bin eye lids, which became so swollen that his eyes were closed. We called a skill ful physician, who administered the usually prescribed remedies. A solu tion of nitrate of silver was applied until the mass of corruption which covered his entire face turned jet black. The sore again and again burst through the scorched and artifi cial skin formed by this solution. Meanwhile man}* remedies were em ployed without any apparent benefit. For fifteen days and nights lie was constantly held by his parents to keep him from tearing open with Ins hands the corrupt mass which covered his face. Everything having failed, we were induced by the high recommendations of Ay^'i's Sarsaparilla for the cure of Scrofulous disease, to give it a trial. In his treatise on Scrofula, Dr. Ayer directs a mild solution of Iodide of Potash to be nsed as a wash while tak ing the Sarsaparilla, and it was faith fully applied. Before one bottle of Sarsaparilla had been given the sore had lost much of its virulence aud commenced to heal. Another bottle effected an entire cure, and the general prediction that the child must die was contradicted. His eyelashes which came out, grew agaiu, and his face is left without a scar, as smooth as any body's. It is unnecessary for me to state in how high esteem we hold Ayeb's Sarsapahm.ia. 9. 0. 10-40 BONDS.
