Baltimore, Nov. 6.--Evening. --The election in the city passed off without any disturbance. Over two hundred arrests were made of parties charged with treasonable conduct. Many, however, were subsequently discharged. The whole vote in the city reached about 20,000. Washington county, it is estimated, gives 2,000 majority for Bradford. Hartford county gives a large Union majority. Frederick county also. The Union majority in the State will be very large. Elkton, Cecil county, gives a Union majority of 1,000. Bradford's (Union majority has not yet been ascertained, but will not fall short of 15,000. Frederick, Nov. 6--Noon.--The election is proceeding quietly.

port Mr. Crittenden's propositions of last winter. Very probable. It is reported that a single discharge from the 128-pounder, mounted in the batteries at Columbus, Kentucky, killed twenty of the enemy and one horse. Shipe, who killed Anderson at Winchester a few months since, has been sentenced to the penitentiary for 18 years. Miller, who shot Capt. Henderson a month or two since in Jefferson county, has been sentenced to be shot. Major Slemmer is quite sick at Putlinville, Va. His wife has been telegraphed for and has left to join her husband. It is stated that the Rev. Mr. Mitchell, arrested on Sunday at Elkton, Md., has been released. Two hogsheads of tobacco, of the new crop, were sold in Louisville, Ky., on Monday last, at $10.50. The Louisville Democrat says that Kentucky has now 26,000 men in the Federal army. A negro man, a slave of ex-Governor Crawford, of Georgia, lately died in that State at the advanced age of ninety-five years.

non, of Scott's Louisiana regiment, killed, wounded and captured fifty or sixty. Captain Cannon's force was one hundred men, of which not one was materially hurt. Pressing forward, Scott crossed the Tennessee and Elk rivers, and with 160 men attacked the 18th Ohio regiment, 700 strong, at Athens, and routed them, killing, wounding and capturing 100, taking their camp, tents, ammunition, wagons, horses, provisions, etc, also 105 muskets. Capt. John Williams pursued one detachment to Elkton, and Capt. Cannon burnt the Limestone creek bridge, ten miles from Huntsville — throwing off twenty car loads of coffee, sugar, rice, etc., which he also burnt — killing 20 and taking 7 prisoners. Scott's ammunition now gave out — no reinforcement came up, and Mitchell came on him from Huntsville with 8,000 men. In the face of this force, Scott re-crossed both Elk and the Tennessee rivers, driving back the 4th Ohio cavalry, 400 strong, who attacked his rear guard, killing their Colo<

f them displayed a Confederate flag nearly a yard in length, waving it as she walked up the street. The police soon accosted them, and informing them that they were under arrest, escorted them to Marshal Van Nostrand's office, followed by a considerable crowd. Being presented to the Marshal, they were informed that they had violated the laws, when they both asserted that they had no idea that they were doing anything wrong. It appeared the young women were sisters, daughters of Mr. John Gilpin, of Elkton, Maryland, and had arrived in Baltimore in the afternoon train, intending to return by the 5 o'clock cars. They were quite prepossessing in appearance, and attracted much attention while in charge of the officers on the street. After a proper examination of the ease, the Marshal decided to release them on security to keep the peace, which was secured. After being discharged, they proceeded, in company with some friends, to the depot, and left for home in the seven o'clock cars.

and death of citizens according to their pleasure, without judicial proceedings? Miscellaneous. The truth about the Yankee losses in the battle of Cold Harbor is beginning to leak out. A correspondent of the Tribune says that the loss of the 19th corps was very severe. Many of the regiments who participated in the charges upon our batteries lost from one third to one half of their number.--Col. Weed, of the 98th; Col. McConthe, of the 169th; and Col. Drake, of the 112th N. Y. regiments, were among the killed. The last was acting Brigadier. The same correspondent says: The most unusual thing to-day has been the sight of a Philadelphia Inquirer correspondent with a strip of board attached to breast and back, bearing the words "Libeler of the Press," conducted on horseback through all or most of our camps, with a cavalry escort of two in front and two in rear. Francis M. Bristow, member of the Yankee Congress, died at Elkton, Ky, on Friday, of heart disease.

twenty-eight towns give Lincoln 5,500 majority — a Republican gain of 380 on the vote last September. Maryland has, doubtless, gone for Lincoln, as the voting seems to have been pretty much all one way. Baltimore gave Lincoln 14,975 and McClellan 2,966. The Baltimore American thus estimates the next Legislature: Senate — Abolitionists, 11; Democrats, 13. House — Abolitionists, 55; Democrats, 25. The following telegram shows how the election was worked in Cecil and Frederick counties: Elkton, November 9.--The First, Second, Third and Fifth districts give 68 majority for Lincoln and the Union State ticket — a Union gain of about 60 over the vote on the Constitution. The Fourth district polls were closed at 2 o'clock on account of a Copperhead riot. This district gave 135 against the Constitution. Port Deposit, November 8.--The Second district gives 89 Democratic majority. The Fourth district polls were closed in consequence of a row, and the vote will not be counted.

stle-work on the Edgefield and Kentucky railroad, twelve miles above Springfield, Tennessee. The weather is moderating, and a heavy rain fell last night. The river is eight feet, and is rapidly rising. A Louisville telegram says that a Captain Bridgewater is pursuing Jessee, near Newcastle, Kentucky, and hopes to catch him. It adds: Colonel Johnson telegraphs that the rebel General Lyon's advance is moving on Russellville. His main force, twenty-five hundred strong, is at Elkton. About as good as any of the telegrams is one announcing the defeat and driving of the left wing of Hood's army by some gunboats. Here it is: Acting Rear Admiral Lee reports to the Navy Department, under date of December 8th, that Lieutenant Commander Fitch defeated and drove the left wing of Hood's army from the (Cumber land?) river on the 4th instant, with heavy loss to the rebels, including several prominent officers, and also recaptured two transports from the enemy.--Nobody
