THE DMJECORD. OROVILLE, SATURDAY, NOV. 12. The Presidential Election. The election on Tuesday last passed off on this coast, and, so far as we can learn, in the Atlantic Stales, in an extraordinarily quiet manner. l!ut, tl. ,ugh there were few visible tokens o( excitement, it nevertheless existed, all the m.-re intense that it was smothered. The declaration of Copperhead orators and newspapers that, if fairly beaten, they would submit, left ns to infer that they, like the Sc ccssionists of the South, had concluded to go through the formality of an election. Then, if the -majority rule” worked iuto th- ir Land-, well and go <1: bat. if not. and Abraham Lin coin should be elected, they would hunt up a pretext for rev alutioo—declare that the election was not /air, or some such thing. '1 his was the inferttree they desired the people to make from their declaration or covert threat. It now remains to be sccu whether they will cry “ua/'&ir," and inaugurate resistance to the authorities in the North, and thus openly ally themselves with Jeff Davis according to John S. Berrys programme; or whether they will; acquiesce iu the w ill of the majority to as great on extent a? possible wi bout breaking up their quasi alliance with Dixie Time will show. Let us hiele crar time, anJ wc shall yet sec yo great Copperhead make* its expiring wriggle. “Coming- Down. The Ncw York Herald of a recent date has an article on the general "coming do-v n" of gold and everything else. Although the Her ald is more variable and fluctuating than even t-bc g»)IU market, or anything else, we make the following extract from i's article: 4 Everything is coming down, and coming down with a crash. The reason of all this is that the rebellion is coming down. Early has come down already. Grant will move presently, and then Lee n il! come down. Then Sherman will come on Hood like a thunderbolt, ai d and nothing will be left of the so called Con federacy but a few starved nrgr is. a good deal of waste paper, and the mortal remains of Jeff. Paris. Then Maximillian wj'l come down from the throne now (ottering upon French bayonets. Louis Napoleon, who, according to foreign correspondents, begins to feel very weak, will come down also. Lord Palmerston w ill come down, w ith Karl Hassell at his heels. We shall have the Jack and Gill business all around. A great many people, at home and abroad, on thrones and off thrones, at the North aid at the South, copperheads and abolitionists, bond and free, while and black, will certainly come down when the rebel rag is hauled to the ground, and the flag of our Union goes tip and floats proudly from every flagstaff on this great continent." Preliminary to the final ami complete coming down of the bogus Southern Confederacy, its last remaining strong support, the Copperhead nomocracy, gave way ai d came down with a crash on Tuesday, Nov. Bth, 1864. Since then, the stillness of death pervades the wreck and ruin of the mushroom concern yclept mod ern Democracy; bat there arc no mourners. Those who “stood from under" in the eleventh hour have no expressions but those of thanks giving and joy at their providential escape from the dust and dirt of the ruin. We hope Father Abraham will now 4 come down like a thousand of brick" on all who, in any way. seek to interfere with his plans in a manner to retard the triumph of the Union arms and the restoration of peace—real peace— in all the land. “Comedown" upon the rebels and their aiders and abettors everywhere, with a last vigorous effort—then the “power of the Lord” will come down, and secession will go down, never again to raise its Lead in these United States So mote it be. Hood and Siikbm vx.—The Stockton fade pendent seems to think that the rebel Hood, by marching his army into Tennessee, has got it into a position where it cannot extricate itself. Such, indeed, does api>oar to be the case, flood has a superior force in his front, commanded by the veteran Thomas, and a largo force in bis rear to cut off his retreat, while Sherman is making for Atlanta to com mcnce offensive operations in that direction. The head and the heart of the rebellion is un questionably in deadly peril. Grant scorns to bo master of the situation in Virginia, and Sherman controls tlre vital point in Georgia. If these great chieftains can maintain their foothold, farewell to the Jiff. Davis Hubble— it will burst as suddenly ns many other bubbles which have for a time attracted the eye of l!,c world, and disappeared—at first seeming to be possessed of great vitality, but, like meteors, passing from sight before the fact is realized that they arc only evanescent vapor, after all. More Foiu ibi k Since Ki.kottox.—“Where is the fire?" asked a Copperhead, rushing oat vl bis boose in Batavia, New York, in alarm at the ringing of the church bells over Sheri dan’s victory. "In the front, flank and rear of the allied Democracy of the South and the North," was a Union ighbor's ready i The ■ . tb Northern wing of the “Dixie Democracy” on Tuesday last only appeared to add fuel to the consuming fire which is so rapidly sweep!: : it fr, m existence. There is a hospital tor the insane of the army and navy, at Washington, which contains 250 persons Irom the army and 20 from the navy. We so u'dn’l wonder fMr >r Get eral McClellan would become an inmate of this institution, lie lost his memory after Lis Peninsular campaign. There is no telling what other lacultie# he nny lose on account ef his equally disastrous Presidential campaign. Soutaß* as® Axaink—The returns from Allis - .

A not r 1 ..'OO of the rebel prisoners confined »o Hock Island have recently enlisted in the -it' the 1 ted States. They are to be sent to trio Northwest I ert .toras to take part iu operations against the hostile Indians, At present they are separated for personal safety from their fellow prise tors, some of whom manifest much hatred towards them because they hate volunteered. The Result. One of tbe most memorable political cam paigns which has ever occurred in this or any country ha; just closed. There can scarcely be a doubt as to the result. even in the mind of the most inveterate Copperhead. Abraham Uacoln has been reelected President of tbe United Slates of America. He is the sixth President who has been called upon by the people to serve them in that capacity for two terms, or eight vear ; . As appropriate to the occasion, we give in this connection the comes and terms of office of the Sve preceding two term Presidents: George Washington—April 30.1789. to March 3, 1797 : Tho*. Jeffers, ;, March 4. 1801, to March 3, 181'D; James Madison. March 4. 1 SOU, to March 3, 1817; James Monroe, March 4, ISI7, to March 3. >35 ; Andrew Jackson. March 4. 183. to March 3, >37. Tbe interval between Jackson's last and Lincoln's first term was twenty*four years. AH of the two-term Presidents were born on Son:hern soil —four being cativ s of Virginia, while Jackson wa« born in S- ith Carolina, and Lincoln in Kentucky. It is a noteworthy fact that the four Erst named fore saw that evil consequences would result from the extension of slavery, and regretted that no plan for its abolition could be agreed upon in tbeir day. It is also remarkable that the Bf:h, in his Executive capacity, throttled and deleati J the nullification and scce-sion schemes of Cal boon ami his slave aristocratic followers, and promulgfd the immortal declaration, -Tie Vmon nui't and shall be pi esei veil.” This patriotic motto of Andrew Jackson has been adopted by Lincoln and has been the mainspring of all his actions as President. It is eminently fitting that, as Southern born Americans have sought to overthrow the Government of the Uni'ed States, in which Southern men have enjoyed the largest part of the honors and privileges, with the hearty con sent and co operation of the Northern pet: le— we sny it is eminently filling that Southern born patriots and statesmen should be the most prominent leaders in r-ur straggle Ur Nati inui preservation and the overthrow of the Southern conspiracy against the Union. Abraham Lin coln and Andrew Johnson, like Jackson, are from the people of the Cronth, or, as the haughty “chivalry” express it, ‘the inferior races.” They arc representatives of a class who. at the Sou'h. have exercised scarcely more real con trul than the negro slaves. They have been in subjection to three hundred and fifty thousand slaveholders. But a better day is dawning for the South, w hen a handful of pani[ ired aristo crats shall no longer control and shape its destiny; but the free people of the Sooth will utii'c with the freemen of tho North in declar ing that no aristocratic or barbaric institution shall longer curse these United .Stales with its contaminating influences. Having discovered the cause of all our calamities, they will strike at the root of it and utterly destroy it. This will restore to onr unhappy country Union and Peace on surer, more enduring foundations than have previously existed, and will place us, as a nation, once more on the road to prosperity and greatness, at no distant future to become the mightiest nation that has existed on the face of the globe. A Modkrn Jkffries.—General Albert Pike lias been appointed the rebel Chief Justice fur Arkansas, and is holding Court at Washington in that State. The Court has decided that ail citizens of the Stale who have taken Ike oath to the United States Government arc guilty of treason, and the penally is death. Several of tho citizens who took the Union oath during the two weeks General Steele held Camden have been arrested, at.d hence a general stam pede in that section to reach our Hues by those who have taken the oath, of whom there arc over eight hundred. This renegade Yankee, Pike, exercises his new powers w ith tho blood thirstiness of a defines. Looking at the career of this mat) (remarks the New York Herald), charity would suggest that he is insane. Born in Massachusetts, bred a lawyer, with a liberal education and possessing no mean qualities as a poet, ho took up a kind of roving life in the West, and. upon tl bt - - fth lion, he turned np in Arkansas, where he turned scldierandj Hoed the rebel cause. His brutality in this capacity, at the head of his Indian troops, will not be forgotten. He instituted the savage system of scalping the wcnnded men i n the battle field, and in every way gave evidence of a wantonly cruel nature. And yet he actually made application to the Govern ment authorities in Missouri, subsi q unity. to permit him to return to his allegiance and claim parole fur his officers. The Herald say? it is ' not aware of the course the Government pur sued ; but we presume that the atrocity of his conduct forbade all chance of the application being favorably received, and it is probab'c that the natural ferocity of his character is now developing itself in the exercise of the judicial functions which JcfT Davis has bestowed up him.” '1 UK IRi.-uMkx Lovai . Mueb has been said and written relative to tbe did yally of Irish men, and much contumely has been ponred upon their hc-ads in consequent-,’ of the fears tbal tbe irishu Stal generally intended to vote in a body fir Me Ua-llan anil Pendleton. We know not bow it was yesterday in other parts of tho State, but we del know that but very few Irishmen voted tho 1 ’upperhead ticket here. The largo mass of them who voted at tbe polls in this place voted straight for Lincoln and Johnson. We have reason to believe that thev did the same r parts of the c . ity atd State. Here liter, wc boj we shall . - : Irishmen than wc have beard during the cam palgn. Tis true, many of them have Democ racy san ped so deep on tin bra that t j cannot dist.: guish between patriotism and dis loyalty ; but the large mass uf them a:c honest and will vote right when tl.e-y arc satisfied that the word Democracy is only a blind to deceive them. All honor, say wc.'to the loyal Irish. Dvir tb rty f that , a ilily voted"bet yes lav and t exceeding five voted "th Copperhead ticket.— .V. G.:::;u. Ihe above applies to a great extent to the Irishmen of Butte county. Ox K couid almost b-e.icvc the following pas* sago, from one of Macaulay s most celebrated essays, to have been prophetically written for the benefit and wholesome instruction of the ‘ Peace ‘ press and party of our country. -The world is tf opinion," he says, “in spite of critics like these, that tbe end of fencing is to bit, that the end of medicine is to cure, that the end of war is to conquer : and that those meats are tbe most correct which best accomplish these ends." The Pif.atb Florida Captured,—A Bos ton dispatch of Not. Bth say? : The United States ft earner Kearsarge arrived here last night. She brings, as prisoners of war. the chief engineer and boatswain of the Alabama and the surgeon and 16 men of the pirate Flor ida. The latter vessel arrived at Boii Bay. San Salvador, r :i the night of the 9th of Sep tember. The Massachusetts was also waiting 'in the harbor for c ai. Capt. Collins deter mined to sink the Florida in port, and at 3 | o'clock started for her, shelling her on the quarter without doing great damage. Capt. Collins cow called oct to them to surrender or he v. nld sink her. The First Lieutenant of the FI rid a replied tha’. under the circum stances, he w aid surrender. The Florida was i towed to sea. Her Captain, Morris, a: d one half h s crew, were ashore. No live? were I lost. Twelve of her officer? and 5' of her crew were captured. I Dutch West Indies foe Sauk.—lt is | reported that the Danish Government, since the sad result i f her war with Germany, being I unable to h 1.1 its West India possessions, is auxi as to sell them to the United States. : 1 hey coii-ist of the islands of St. I homos, St. Croix and St. John. St. Thomas is one of the ' finest harbors in the West Indies, and would be a convenient coal depot for the navy. The (icopie of the islands are said to be* in favor of annexation, and the proposition is not without its advocates in iniiucntial official circles. It is doubtful, however, whether Spain. England or France would permit the transfer without mi effort to secure these possessions among themselves. . Richmond.—A lady, for several years resid ing in Richmond, and who has recently arrived n Philadelphia, paid $3,000 in rebel money to get there. The rebel authorities have advised all females and non-combatants to leave Rich mond a? so. na? possible. They do not believe Richmond can bo taken by assault, but fear that Grant will succeed in starving them into | a surrender by cutting the railroads. They freely admit that the loss of Richmond is the . end if the rebellion, but they arc determined to held out to the last. Every male is in the army, and price? are enormously high. The Guardians of tiif. Fi.ac.— W. H. Beard, in the East, has nearly finished a picture entitled " The Guardians of the Flag,’’ of a patriotic character. On the rocky peak of a mountain, cloud environed, from a rude staff supported by the rteks. the American flag floats; and below it, on every side, a score of eagles, in various attitudes, are engaged in keeping watch and guard over it. Inscribed on the rock, at the ba.-e of the peak, are the dates 1776, 1813. 1.-GL—the first, moss grown and licheucd ; the last, sharp and well defined. News from Sherman.—A report is tele graphed that General Sherman had burned i Atlanta, and marched through Georgia fur Charles on. The Union says this is not very probable. Gen. Sherman is satisfied of the importance of holding Atlanta,and has assured \ the President of his intention to retain his \ pii/.e. lie has doubtless started for Macon or Augusta, for the purpose of doing all possible damage to the resources of the enemy in Geor gia, while ITcod s army is far away. The sixteenwheeled railroad car, intended for the President's use, is finished, and is await ing orders at Alexandria. It is the most elegant thing i f the kind ever seen in this country. Ds total cost was about $30,000. It ha? sleeping apartments, parlor, and a Sec retary's office. It is to be presented to our Chief Magistrate, and to be used by himself and hi? successors. Murders bv Rebel Guerrillas.—A San Francisco telegram of the 10th says : “J. Ma son and Jim Henry have murdered three men between Gilroy and Visalia, because they were Republicans. The murderers declared their intention of slaying every Republican they met. One man was murdered in the presence of his wife and four children." Immediately upon entering Atlanta, Colonel Walker, who was in command of the column, sent the following dispatch to General Geary : “General: We have possession of the town, i The Second and Third Divisions entered to gethcr. The flag of the Third Brigade will bo the first to float over the city. Glory Halle lujah. This elects Abraham Lincoln.’’ Meteoric Showers. Professor Silliman telegraphs from Virginia City that the great meteoric shower of 1833 will be repeated be tween this .late (10th), and the loth instant, and uili be visible on the Pacific t >ast from the 12th to the 14lh. lie wishes any observ ations respecting it communicated to him. Cash - Union.— The regular garrison at Camp Union, Sacramento, consists at present of 238 members, and the attached garrisons, 126—total, 364. Of this number, all but about f Tty voted for Lincoln and Johnson. Of the forty, a portion voted for McClellan and Pen clcton, and the remainder did not vote. Cotton on Government Plantations.— A Ivic s from Arkansas say the cotton crop on . lb 1 used plantations is more than tbe average in am a t . ty. P ki g has all id] begun, and the arrival of fresh troops in that Mate gives assurance that tbe guerrillas are not likely to bo able to disturb the hands. 1 mon Re - doings.—The greatest enthusi asm ; retailed io San Francisco, oo Thursday, respecting the Eastern election news. One hundred guns wore fired, and an immense audi cnee was addressed iu the evening in front of the Union Committee Rooms. General Sutter.—The Marysville Appeal says G moral John A.

Fayet o, and other counties, and examined by Provost Marshal Jones and Commissioner Nelliker. Many of them confess that they were sent hero to vote Ibe Copper head ticket, or to fight if not allowed to vote, and that their expenses were paid. They were to be furnished pistols by parties here on their arrival, Walsh has confessed, implicating some leading Copperheads here in a diabolical plot to set free the rebel prisoners at Camp Douglas and fire the city iu various places.

A dictionary of slang words is to be soon published iu Locdou. The author has devoted ten years to the task, and has collected 10.000 slang words and phrases. Davis' Straits.—la reference to tbe recent visit of Jeff. Davis to Maeoc, Georgia, an exchange remarks: These visits of Davis to the far South furnish one kind of landmark? by which we max reca pitulate the decay of tbe rebellion, or at least the restriction e*f its limits. In ihe spring of Ic€2. when our armies we re'beginning ic press d wn toward A'abatna and Mississippi. Davi, nude a visit to his own State to stir up ;he people. At that time he bad the choice of it re.*:s t;i the great Southern road through Knoxville, Chafau. ga. etc : the midd.e route, through Augusta. Atlanta, etc : < : erh-r Southern route, by Mac.o, ev.

Both Chattanooga and Atlanta are barred against his progress. And he is not ci.iy de prived of his ability to go to MisstssiprJ, but would be a very hazardous experiment for him to trust himself anywhere in Alabama north of the Montgomery Railroad. 'I bus we may be able to trace, even i. these . compulsory pilgrimages of the rebel chief, the constantly receding limits of his power. It will not be long, we trust.before ;i e third and last route of travel now open will bo closed by a new dank movement of Sherman, and then be will be unable to penetrate Georgia a‘. all. A citizen of Washington has sent one hun dred dollars to Genera! Grant, to be given to the man who first unfurls our flag in Richmond James H. Hardin, a citizen of Kentucky, has been sentenced to twenty years at hard labor for engaging iu treasonable designs against the Government. It is stated that over 3,000 rebel deserters have already availed themselves of Grants proclamation assuring them of Union protection and employment. Lapland is for sale. It has been suggested that the British Government purchase it for a penal settlement. It would furnish but cold comfort for criminals. The late billiard match at Boston, between R. M. Wilmarth,of that city, and Henry Futon, of California,for §I,OOO, was won by Wilmarth by seven hundred and eighty-two points. Poisoning Soldiers at Bend i v A dis patch to Adjutant General Evans, Tuesday, from Quartermaster Morris, at Benicia, bus the following intelligence : “One whole company at Ihe barracks poi soned. No deaths, investigation is being had, and woe betide the guilty parly. I have a water contractor (Copperhead) in irons.” PiERRBSon.it in Mexico—What For?— Our latest Mexican news reports the arrival of Pierre Sonic at, Vera Cruz on the 22d of Sep tember, This conspicuous rebel, it will be remembered, was formerly a Senator of the United Stales from Izmisiana, and was. as poor Pierce’s mischief making Minister to Spain, the principal contriver of the famous Oslcnd manifesto on the Cuban question. Since the outbreak of the rebellion, he has been flitting about from one side of the Atlantic to the other, like Ihe Flying Dutchman, as a sort of wandering embassador of Jeff. Davis. He has gone to Mexico at last. probably to try to patch up some sort of alliance, offensive and defensive, between the Confederacy and the Emperor Maximilian; and in this capacity we may expect, before long, to bear of this myste rious Soule and his mysterious movements again.—A’.
