Rooms in Sturmer'a new brick building. [For the Pittston Oazette. Some years ago Jgo Hewett, who lives I in the mining district of Lake Superior,ran I for tho legislature. The district was close, ! and it required the best foot forward to win. Tho profits to be derived from an election were nothing, but the idea of a defeat did not allow any stono to remain unturned by either party, to secure a vote. Joe is in the mining business, and nt times employs a number of men, who dig and delve in tho bowels of the earth for profit. So the day before election he engaged about fifty Democratic voters to work for him during the forenoon of Tuesday, and go to the polls in tho afternoon. Doing prompt to pay, he had no difficulty in geting what help he wanted; so, bright and early Tuesday morning fifty-three good Democrats stood gathered around the shaft leading down into tho hill one hundred and fifty feet, waiting for Joe. Soon he came, and down tho long ladder the party went, till they struck the bottom, when they separated to follow the different veins or lodes. Soon they were all hard at work with pick, chisel and drill, digging, cutting and blasting for tho bright cubes of lead so plenty thereabouts. Joe passed around from group to group of men, joked with and directed them in their labors till halfpast eleven, when he very coolly put on his coat, ascended the ladder, reached tho surface, drew a long breath, and with the help of two or three friends in tho secret, drew the ladder up after him, leaving 53 good Democratic voters hard at work a hundred feet below, with no other means of getting out till tho ladder was replaced ! Taking two sections of the ladder off to have it repaired, he left for the polls, a inilo distant, and when tho votes were counted at night, to the surprise of his opponent, Joe had forty-two majority ! An hour later there might have*been seen fifty-three able bodied men, each bearing a lighted lamp, emerging from a certain hole in the ground, like aunts from a phial of molasses, profaning fearfully, and vainly seeking for " tho man who pulled that ladder up," but for two days no such man could bo found. Concluding that they had been sold in earnest, after consultation, the miners conoludcd not to charge anything for their services, drink at Joe's expense, and. let the mattei drop— but he was elected. A young man from the rural distriet went to tho post office tho other day with a bank note for a dollar's worth of stamps, lie was told that paper money was not re* ceived. Ho went for Spanish quarters. " Wo don't receive them now," said tho attendant, " for moro than twenty ccnts apiece." BY ALKEDA ELIZABETH. Fort Delaware, 1 September 20, 1862. J Dear Gazette : This has been an eventful week for Schooley's Battery. On Tuesday morning last, the steamer It. 8. Spaulding arrived here, having on board about 000 parolled Union prisoners. Of course, we were all on the qui vivo to see them disembark, and left breakfast and all behind for that purpose, and hurried to the dock. At about 8 o'clock the motly procession took up its line of march from the boat to tho Fort. If havo read to any purpose, I should think Falstaff and his ragged recruits were clad in broadcloth when compared to theso poor fellows. Some had nothing wherewith to cover their nakedness more than an old worn out pair of cotton drawers; others were clad in gaudily colored wrapcrs, and a few only had that very necessary article of wearing apparel, the shirt. To make a long story short, they were a hatlcss, shoeless and half-starved set of men. There were several sick among them, and a number maimed for life, by the loss .of an arm, a leg or a hand. To give you an idea, (being inadequate though) of their sufferings, 1 will cito a few cases that were related to me by the sufferers : 'T7AGLE HOTEL, PITTSTON. PA.— Ti GEORGE LAZARUS, Proprietor.

The official very politely cut him off a single stamp, and passed it out, for which the countryman laid down three cents.—* He was about to pass away, when the latter cried out: MANUFACTURER "Come join us brothers in the fray, Swell, swell tho bottle-cry afar. On every breeie, ery rescue, and Let loose the dogs of war." S. STCRMER, One poor fellow, who had been wounded in the leg, stated to me that during his four months captivity on Bell Island, near Richmond, his wound had received no attention whatever, only that given by himself, and jn that time he had taken out seven pieces of the shin bone. Another told me that when he was captured in Juno last, he weighed 174 pounds, and though not having had a sick day since, ho does not now weigh over 96 lbs. He assured me that nothihg but starvation had brought such a change. lie told me also, that he had witnessed the death Bccncs of many noble Union soldiers there, and the last faint articulation that would escape their parched lips would be—" more bread r'— Much more might be told, but for the present this must suffice. Scarcely had tho oxcitcmcnt of this arrival died away ere another Steamer bro't us more company. On Friday, at 5 p. m., tho steamer City of Norwich, left with us 1,105 llebel prisoners.

The dear boy stood it well for the first five minutes; service had not yet begun. Dcacon Wells, a bald-headed man came in,and Alonzo looked at him curiously.
