Votes at home.

--It has been asserted by the Black Republican journals that old Abe carried his own ward, city and county. Here is the official vote of Singamon county, Ill. in which the city of Springfield, where Lincoln resides, is located: Douglas, 3,598; Lincoln, 3,556; Bell, 145; Breckinridge, 77. Douglas over Lincoln, 42; combined opposition vote over Lincoln, 287. The only town in the county of Essex, N. Y. which gave a majority against the Republicans was North Elba, the residence of the family of John Brown.
