War DEPARTMENT, WAsuHInNoTon City, D.U., Oct. 12, 1961. Major General Diz, New York : Dispatches haye been received to-day from Frvanctat.—The New York Commercial Advertiser of yesterdsy evening says: The stock market shows little change from | yesterdsy. The market is still chiefly confined to the brokers. At the first board prices ware irregular; but the fluctuations were light and mostly on the side of an advance. Money is easy on ca}l at 7 per cent. The de- mand for discount continues very dull, and the rates unchanged. The best paper pays9 per cent, and good names are discounted at | per cent. per month. The banks are curtailing moderately their loars in anticipation of the forthcoming payments on account of the $40,000,000. We understand that the prospect for the Five-twenty Loan to be bid for on Friday is very favorable. One deposit of $100,000 as se- curity on a bid for five millions has been made at the Treasury, besides many others orsmall- er amounts. THE ELECTION YESTERDAY.—The election held in this eity yesterday was one of the most quiet of the kind ever known. There was some little noise in the streets after the result became known, cansed by the rejoicings of the friends of the successful candidates for muni- cipal effices, but there was no serious disturb- ance of any kind.—Baltimere Sun. General Grant, General Sherman, and General | Sheridan, but no military movements since my last telegram are reported. The following | details of the cavalry engagement last Sunday | are furnished by General Sheridan: «] have seen no signs of the enemy since the brilliant engagement of the 9th instant. It was | @ square cavalry fight, in which the enemy ‘was routed beyond any power to describe. “He lost everything carried on wheels except | one piece of artillery, and when last seen was passing over Rudes Hill, near New Market, on the keen run, twenty-six miles from the battle- field, to which point the pursuit was kept ap. ‘The battery, men, and horses, etc., were cap- tured; the horses were in good condition, but ‘were all exchanged by our cavairymen for their broken-down an: is. “The casualties on the 9th will not exceed sixty men. The one hundred men of the Sth Ohio, dispersed while guarding the bridge over the North Shenandoeh, have come in, except the officers.” Epwix M. Stanton, Secretary of War.

In the Pennsylvania election the Democrats, though they will be beaten by from ten to fifteen thousand upon the aggregate army and home vote, have certainly done better on the home vote than they have anticipated. In Ohio and Indiana, and more particularly in Indiana, the Union men have cause for most agreeable surprise in a victory decided and unmistakeable, where they would gladly have accepted the assurance of meeting a moderate loss only. The Union successes in Ohio and Indiana are especially gratifying, in view of the factthat it so utterly confules the idea so industriously circulated by the copperheads that the great West is prepared to abandon the war and join hands with Jeff Davis. Ohio puts the seal of utter condemnation on the traitors who have assumed to represent her—the Vallandighams, the Longs, and the Coxes. Indiana brands similarly her traitorous sons who undertook to betray her into the hands of the enemy by debarring her soldiers in the field the privilege of voting. These elections as insuring the re-election of Abraham Lincoln, and the prosecution of the ‘war without pause or parley until the rebels are willing to throw down their arms, will cause a feeling of despondency in the South that will soon show itself unmistakeably and ‘with important results to the Union cause we are quite certain. A gratifying feature of these successes 1s that the hands of the Union men in Congress will be so materially strengthened by the important gains in the Congressional elections. Death of Chief Justice Taney. The venerable Roger B. Taney, Chief Jus- tice of the Supreme Court of the United States, breathed his last at his residence on Indiana avenue, near Third street, at 10 minutes to 10 o’clock last evening, in the presence of his family. Judge Taney had reached the ad- vanced age of eighty-seven. He had been in ill health for several years past, the predom- inant disease which caused his death being a chronic affection of the bowels. He did not, however, take to his bed until Monday week, and it was then apparent that it was his last sickness, The family physician, Dr. Grafton Tyler, of Georgetown, and Dr. James C. Hall, of this city, have beenin constant attendance on the deceased, and yesterday he was visited by Dr. Thomas Buckler, of Baltimore. He commenced to sink rapidly last evening, and members of his family in the city were summoned to his bedside and toek leave of him, and soon after he became insensible and died &s above stated, withoutastruggle. Judge Taney leaves five daughters, four of whom—Mrs. Stevenson, Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Campbell and Miss Taney— were present at the time of his death, together with his son-in-law, J. Mason Campbell, Esq. ‘The arrangements for the funeral have not yet been made, but it is probable that after the funeral solemnities here the remains will be taken to Frederick, Md., for interment. Judge Taney was born in Calvert county, Md, on the 17th of March, 1777. Me began the study of law in Annapolis in 1796, was admit- ted to bar in 1799, and represented his county in the House of Delegates. In 1801 he removed to Frederick, and, in 1816, was elected State Senator, in which capacity he served six years. He removed to Baltimore in 1822. He early won a high reputation as a lawyer, and in 1831 was made Attorney General of the United States by Gen. Jackson, whosubsequently ap- pointed him Secretary of the Treasury, on the dismissal of Mr. Duane, in 1833. In this posi- tiom he encountered the bitter hostility of the Whigs for his action in removing the deposits from the United States Bank. The Senate re- fused to confirm his nomination in June, 1934, and the following year Gen. Jackson nomina- ted him as an assistant justice of the Supreme Court, but the Senate indefinitely postponed action on the nomination. In the meantime, Chief Justice Marshall died; the Senate changed its political complexion, and he was nominated and confirmed as Marshall’s successor, and took his seat in January, 1937, since which his fame has been part of the legal history of his country. HOW IT ORIGINATED. The rumor that prevailed on the street to- day that there had been another guerrilla at- tack on the Manassas road doubtless arose from the fact that a number of quartermaster employees were sent outon the road this morn- ing to clear away the woods and all other sheltering places for guerrillas along the road- This step is requisite to put astop to murder- ous guerrilla outrages such as that of Monday last. MARK OF RESPECT. Gen. McCullum has issued an order di- recting all the flags at the various stations on the military railroads in this vicinity to be dis- played at half-mast in respect to the memory of the railroad employees murdered by the guer- rillas at White Plains, on the Manassas Gap road, on Monday.

Mr. Richard S. Coxe, Esa., announced in the presence of a large nomber of the members of the Bar, the deuth ot Chief Justice Roger B. Taney, in thea fol- lowing words: If your Honor please, I have been asked, and in a way that itis impossible fer me to refuse, to announce to this Court the death of the late Chief Justice Roger B. Taney. Roger B. Taney, whom I have known per- sonally, for forty years, I think, died at a very advanced Haase f velieve in bis eighty-seventh year. During the long period which I have been associated with him, which, as I re- marked before, bas been about forty years, I have never known atime when I could not reasonably look for bis death within six months—infirm in constitation and yet vigor- ous in mind. In regard to the character and strength of his intellect, I can say, after a great deal of close observation, from association with him at ths bar, and from my relations to him whilst pre- siding Judge of the Supreme Oourt of the United States, that he possessed to & degree beyond, < think. almost any man I have ever kpown, an acute and discriminating mind. He was not so enlarged in some of his views as many others with whom I have been on familiar terms, and in consequence of the state of his health and the peculiar position he oceupied at the bar asa iswzee entirely devoted to country practice fer so large a portion of his profes- sional life, he was not so familiar with the general subjects of constitutional law, with the law of nations, with maritime law, and with commercial law. as many others whom I have known; but within the limited sphere in which his practice consisted, he had, beyond all com- parison, the most acute and discerning mind I ever met with at the bar. There was one peculiarity about him which I desire to notice, rather for the benefit of the elder members of the bar, than for that of the younger. On ene occasion I was concerned with him in avery a palo case that was coming on for argument in the Supreme Court. He was engaged at Annapolis, and I prepared a very full brief of the argument of the cause to be submitted to him for his consideration. He arrived in Wr hington a few days before the argument came vn, and took me to his room, where he kept me for about four hours discus- sing every point of this preliminary argument with which I was to open the case. have been associated with other gentleman of the highest character, but I never foundone who devoted himself so intensely and absolutely as be did to assistin aiding and instructing his junior counsel. His appointment to the Beneh ofthe Supreme Court of the United States, perhaps ereated some surprise among many; but he has indi- cated a degree of talent since he has held that position, and has acquired a learning in all the different branches of the department, which seems almost incredible, when we consider his feeble state of health. It will not be necessary, nor dol think it would be proper, for me on this occasion to undertake to review any of the decisions which he has made while presiding as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, but I may say that they are all marked with scholarly ability, and with the same dis- criminating faculty of mind to which I have already alluded, toa degree perhaps not sur- passed by any gentleman who ever presided in that court. Z He informed me in one of our conversations that such had been his state of health from the time he commenced the practice of his profes- sion that he was never able to pursue a gen- eral or even a@ systematic course of profes- sional reading, much less of reading beyond the limits of his profession, and he was neces- sarily limited by the infirm state ot his health to the immediate exigencies of the times. Yet, with all that feebleness of constitution, he re- tained bis intellect to a degree which, con- sidering his advanced age, is truly surprising; and, until within the last ten days of his death, he never gave the slightest indication of a t1ail- ure of his intellect. Of course my remarks on such an occasion cannot do justice to the merit and character of the distinguished dead. All that I can dois to suggest to your Honor the propriety of having the Bar meet in a more solemn and formal mauner to commemorate the memory of this eminent jurist; and in the meantime I movethe court adjourn. In accordance with the suggestion of Mr. Cox, a metion was made, and acquiesced in by the court, to have the members of the Bar assemble in the Court House to-morrow, at 12 o’clock m., to pay the last appropriate honors to the deceased. The court then adjourned until to-morrow morning, at 10 o’clock. Crrmimat Court.—In the Criminal Court, the death of Chief Justice Taney was an- nounced by Mr. Nathaniel Wilson, Assistant District Atterney, when the court adjourned until to-morrow morning at ten o’clock. —_—_.——_— Tus NuMBER OF MEN TO BE FURNISHED BY THE DisTRicT.—According to the official returns made to Captain Putnam by the Board of Enrollment up to the night of the 12th inst., the following is acorrectstatementof thenum- ber of men yet to be furnished by the different wards and sub-districts : First Ward. 160 Second Ward. 57 Third Ward. 13 Fourth Ward. 109 Fifth Ward.. ict. . .Twelfth Sub-District... - 70 Each ward has received credit for the num- ber of drafted men who were placed in bar- Tacks and those who furnished substitutes. To-day the Third Ward put tn one man, and to-morrow another one will be put in to the credit of the same ward, which will bring the Third Ward quota down to eleven men. All the drafted men have not reported as yet, and the quotas of the different wards may be somewhat reduced by those who do so. Another draft in this District will doubtless take place shortly, and onr citizens should adopt some measures to prevent it if possible. SSS VISITING DELEGATIONS,—Delegations from Newark and Jersey City are in town to-day, for the purpose of examining the fire alarm and police telegraph, with a view to its intro- duction into their respective cities.
