These three columns will moire too, provided jfye. advance upon the jpapitol - 'at all, with not lees than lice hundred (Moutand men, and probably even a greater number. Having these facts to look ;in the S- face, our Government and our Oenerals cannot be too active and vigilant.

It baa received the hearty, approval in this secttoa of all honest, right thinking men j it being , a clear and forcible exposi tion of the rights, and duties of our representatives and people, ia this hour of-darkness end danger.

" TUB DESPOTISM AT THI OIJIT OF THE BATOSfBT SCENES AT THE POLLS IN TBI LATE ELECTION'S IK THE NOHTH HOW THE THINO WAS DONE JK DELA- . WARE. . 1 (. in Tliu Philadelphia Journal tells how the myrmidons of Lincoln tried to control the election' in 'Delaware at the point of the "bayonet : On Monday evening three etoamboats, loaded with soldierx, an ived at Seaford, Delaware. Thence they Were conveyed by railroad and wagons to ojery voting precinct in Kent and Sussex counties, where Gen. Wool was in rfbrson, placed uuder the orders of the most unscrupulous advocate ot the abolition party. In some of ie 'precincts the Democracy were driven away from the polls, and the most prominent and influential Democrats were arrested and kept under J guard until the polls were closed. 1 This occurred in Dover Hundred, Kent County, and in Dagsboro' Hundred' Sussex County, la this latter Hundred some thirty Democrats.werc so treated, amongst them Mr. Aaron B. Marvel, late Auditor of the State, and the Democratic Sheriff elect. In lio ver, the Capital of the State, the soldiers made two bayonet charges, in mere wantonness when there was no lighug. In most of the precincts, Democrats were not allowed to accompany voters to the polls, whilst Abolitionists took forcible possession of all timid vo ters, surrounding them with soldiers, and forced them to voto their ticket: - The paper here gives an extract of a pivate letter from Dover, -stating some of the scenes' in that -town. The writer says ,t Dr. Bidgely was endeavoring to get an opportuni ty for two of his Irish laborers to vote, and in the rnelee'the soldiers were ordered to charge bayonets. They claim the men were brought here to see that the Union men, as they call themselves, had fair play and be allowed to vote ; but every body knows that they camo to intimidate and bully us into their internal Ab olitionism. Blit for tlie shameful fact that our State was degraded by the introduction Tf New York sol diers, caused by our own people, we could have car ried the State by 1, '600 or 2,000. The wonder is that we did anything, Just think of it; at several "of the voting plates, soldiers forming a line at the window on each side, with .pointed bayonets, through which free white men, who love the Constitution of their fathers, must pass, else not vote at all. And this free America T Oh, bow I blush to chronicle the fact? - The Philadelphia paper rebukes such shameful and high-handed outrages wfth the elective rights of a free people, and says: . IVe have not the heart to continue the catalogue of outrages on the loyal, constitutional Democrats of our little Sinter State. The object of this military in terference is transparent. A desperate attempt by the. friends of the Administration so to force the elec tion as to impose upon the people of the more North ern States the preposterous idea that a conservative border State supports the Administration in its eman cipation and Abolition policy.-" So, too, was the election in Missouri. ; The Missou ri Republican, a Federsl paper, admit this when it says: , " ;-" .'-.-',',. :' ' Iu reference to the Congressional delegation, those who have a fancy for such tilings may undertake to fix their political ttaiut.

Tho outrage is one of cold-blooded and horrible detat but its important incideuts may be related iuafew words. I 1 -. ,"..... ; . .. The statement was first published In a New York pnperi that, dirigadier. General McNeil hal, in the early part oMaat month, executed ten ConfAlcrate prisoners at Palmyra, in Missoini, because a tory rit izen of that State hail been carried off a prisoner by our forces. From further accounts of the affair in the enemy's own publicatioos, it appears that the missing j. man, nuiuew aiibuiii, wna icj;iuujme iimmr Of war ; that on the descent of the Confederate for oca upon Palmyra be was captured by' them ; tliat hp belonged to the Federal cavalry, but that being too ld to endure all the hardships of active duty, he was tailedasaspy.being frequcptly" as one pfthe Yankee papers states,; "callou upon for information touching the loyalty of men, which he always, gave to the extent of his ability. "T i When General McNeil returned to Palrtiyra, he caused a notice to be issued that unless Allsmaq waa returned in ten days, be Would shoot; teh Confederate iprisohers as "a moet reward, for'their primes, mom; which was the illegal restraining of sajdiAllsman-of his liberty. " 'The ten days elapsed, nd he prisoner was not returned. The following account of. what ensued, is condensed from the Palmyra Courier, $ tory journal, without any variation from the language ,i which it describes the deed of llie demons with whom it was la sympathy. " " - if "The tenth day expired with last Friday: : On that dav ten rebel hrisoners. already id CHfrtody, were se lected to pay ivitji jtheir lives the penalty demanded. J A little alter. 11 ocjock, a. ro., me next.usy, wiiw Government wseons drove to the jail. One contained four, and each of the others three rough board coffins. "JTio coudwimod men were conducted from the prison nnd.scatcd.in Hhe wagons one upon each coffin. A sufficient nard of soldiers "accompanied them, and the cavalcade started for the fatal grounds. The ten coffins were removed from the wajrons and placed fn a row, six or eightrrfeet apart, -forming a line liorth and south. Each coffin was placed upon the ground, w ith its foot west and 'head oast. Thirty .soldiers or the 2d M. S. M. wire drawn up in a single line, ex tending north and south, facing the row of coflirts. The arrangement completed, the men knelt upon the grass between their coffins and the soldiemiAt the conclusion ol a prayer by tn army cnapmm, cacn prisoner took hisauut npim tho foot of his coffin, fac ing tne muskets which in a few moments- were to laanch them into eti-rnify. They vvere nearly all firm and undaunted. The most noted of the ten w:va Captain Thomas A. Sinder,. of Monroe county, whose capture at ShUlbyville, in the disguise of a woman, we related wsveral weeks since. , He was now elegantly attired in a suit of black broadcloth, with a white vest. A luxurious growth of beautiful hair rolled .down, upon bis shoulders, which wjth his fine peiaainl appearauce, could not bnt bring to mind the Tfaiid snmc but vicious Absalorn. There was notjiing es pecially worthy of note In tho appearance of tho others. A tew moments -alter l' o'clock the chaplain in attendance shook hand with the prisoners. Two of them accepted bandages for -the eyes, the rest re fused. A hundred spectators had gathered arpnnd the amphitheatre to witness the impressire.'sceue. The stilltuas of death pervaded the place. Tbeofficer in command now stepped forward and gave, the word of command-"Ready I aim 1 fire I" The discharges how ever were not made simultaneously probably through want of a porlect previous understanding of the orders to fire. Two of tho rebel fell backwards upon their coffins and died instantly. Capt. Sinder sprang for ward and fell with his head towards the soldiers, his hands clasped upon his .breast, and the left leg drawn half wnv un. He did not movb again but died im mediately, fie had requested the soldiers to aim at his heart, and they obeyed but too implicitly, lhe other seven were not killed outright : so the rerveiLAjjjjtJ.r, flairs to consuter the prmriety of sending were i called in who dispatched tbem wiU their revul- vers.'

This last comment on its policy of puliation, scrawled in blood, will never pass from the memory of th? peo ple.

The enemy fired from the Stafford bills, and their shot passed directly over the centre of the town.
