Office,, 38 MERCHANTS’ EXCHANGE, Philadelphia-H
The District telected by this Company is one of great
interest, and is only partially developed, but where
developed the results are very gratifying. The wells at
Burning Springe and Petroleum are-producing largely,
while those ot Horse Neele and Campbell's Bun (where
onr lands are situated) show-that this ic a great oil-pro
ducing-district, being in close proximity to tbe fallow-,
ing wells now producing largely, viz: The “Greer
Well," on Horse Neck, produces 100 barrels-per day,
and increasing. The last great well in this, neighbor
hood is on Bawson’s Run, a feeder of Horse Neck,
owned by Tack & Brother, of: Philadelphia, and struck
about three weeks ago.. It flowed about 803 barrels of
oil in a single day. Its average- has been, perhaps. 220
bamlsaday. It is a shallow well 200,’teet deep., Near,
this, Messrs. Tack & Brother have a well 280 feet deepi
which yields from 26 to 60 barrels:of oii daily. ',"'
. The territory-secured to this Company nas been se
lected with great care, having called to our aid parties
well known; iii the - oil; regions,- besides: having the
opinion of a celebrated -geologist from our own city.
The lands purchased by this Company lie in Wood and
Pleasant counties, in West Virginia, at Horse Neok and
Campbell's Run, five miles from the Ohio river by a
good wagon road.— - ;- — r - .
Professor Thomas in his report says: The borings at
Horse Neck have developed the - fact that’in this r.gion
there are six formations ' of oil, each of which occurs at
different depths, and that it belongs to an, overlying for
mation of the Pennsylvania region." \.~
At Horse Neck wo have the following: ,
1. One-half interest in a lease of seventeen yearslu
a-tract of one acre, subject to one-eighth royalty, on
which we have one wail sunk 327 feet, with a twaive
horee power engine, tank, tabes,' boring utensils," See ,
and from which ha s been taken at the rate of 23 barrels
of oil per day. When retubed will produce move.
2. Two thirds of a perpetual lease on. one and a half
acres, situate - about fifty rods from the above ; on this
we have one' WeU suiik26s feet, and oil in the well 30
feetdeep. The Bull Creek Oil Company own the other
third interest. The'indications show that by boring
this well deeper it will be a flowing well.
3. Ourthird tract (33 acres,in fee simple) w situated
on Campbell’s Run: about one mile and a half from the
above, and five miles from the Ohio river. On Monday,
September 6th, the great Track Well was struck, and
flowed one thousand barrels in twenty-four horns.
This immense well-lies adjoining our properties.,--
-In conclusionof Professor Thomas’ report, he says:.
“The dip of tre rook,- geological situaiion. and surface
indications , show this tract to fcenot at all inferior to
Horse Neck.- v „-

companies. . '

township, Venango county, fronting oh- and; near the'
mouth o£ a inn emptying into.Hemloek creek. About
six acrfes boring ground., On this tract is so ate very
heavy oak and hickory timber, o .: s
These seven estates embrace four hundred and three .
acres; ot 'which say one-fourth is boring ground. -'As
. will be.observed, all these tracts/nmt on the Allegheny -
and its tributaries. The advantages of being on navi
''gation where oil can be shipped direct from the well
■ without transportation; and where ample limber may
be had on the property to feed ihe engine, are obvious..
.: As the purchai.e Of either of these tracts would require
more money than the majority of parsons .have at conn
hmnd,. it is proposed to, divide them into cue hundred
'interests of one; thousand dollars each, thus affording
the man of limited means, aa well as the capitalist, ah
opportunity to secure an interest-in this truly wonder
ful as well as money making region..
All of these properties have been selected for their
eligibility, and, as may be seen by reference to ;l map,
; are unusually .well located.. They are all contiguous to, ,
adjoin, mxi&ro between.\&nds of companies having in
the aggregate a capital of at least three million of dole
-la-rs, whose “stock ” is being rapidly disposed of.
As all aroaware, the usual plan'adopted for the de-- ’
velcpmeut of such a property is to form a company and;
issue certificates of stock. The plan here proposed may
be considered to the organization of one
or more companies on these estates, which wUPcoet the
ICO oki(;isal subscribers hereto only one thousand dol
lars each, and are subject to no royalty,'' leases, or
. mortgages whatsoever, hat will be got-with an un
questionable title, is fee simple thxonghont. The Sub
scribers can then, upon this substantial and solid basis,
organize one or more companies, -elect officers from
- among-themselves,- each subscriber being equally

llbai)quaetetis 'Army Potomac, '
• -- October 23,1864.
Tcstordfty was by, far the coldest day of the
season, tho atmosphere being almost wintry. In
tfce afternoon it thicntened rain,'and the wind, off
and on, blew-a small hurricane, filling, tho air with
blinding clouds of dust, and divesting ‘'life in the
open air” of of Its romance. To-day
has been very fist),* though somewhat Chilly. It is'
magnificent weath< r for army operations, and the
wish is pretty gene tal that Grant may take advan
tage of it. ,
Nbthalf a have been fired during the
day, as far as _we have heard, but last'night there
was some pretty prisk cannonading on the right.
Such a thing is unusual on oloudy bights, andit was
probably duo to tble fact that tiie'rebel artillerists,
scantllyjoiad, wore compelled- to resort to
this kind of keep themselves warm.
The commissioners appointed'by New York to
take the proxy vote of regiments from that Stato,
for Presidential electors, are busily aid quietly pro
ceeding with the work. In the regiments from New
York City a considerable number of votes have
been cast for .McOiollan, but the soldiers from the
balance of the State almost''universally oast their
ballots for the Administration. Both parties com-
that a sufficient number of the printed ballots
have not been distributed, to secure to every voter
.the elective franbhiso.
Of lateAffievrefel pickets-have not been guite so
solicitous to exaßangc newspapers with us as for
merly was . the case* Perhaps an order from Lee
atiout the'matter may explain their change of mood.
■Heretofore'they have set a high estimate upon
Harper's Weekly and Frank Leslie, for one copy of
either of which they would give half-a-dozen
Richmond papers.,. But yesterday, and for seve
ral days past, they have refused to . continue
the exchange, and their pickets, when hailed, did
not design to givo us any response. Undoubtedly
: some movement is about to take place, or has taken
place, about which they do not consider it essential
we should get dellnite information. It is tho opin
ion of some that Lee’s army has been materially
weakened within the past fortnight to reinforce
Longstreet, and the opinion seems plausible enough.
But if Richmond and Petersburg have been weak
ened in this respect, they have been strengthened
in another. For a week past tho trains upon the
Southsido Railroad have been hoard upon our left,
running almost "constantly, and,'undoubtedly, im
mense supplies have been gathered into tho dopot3
and magazine* of the rebel capital,
For the first time in the experience of your corres
pondent, and.for the first time in the history of this

There has been heavy and continuous firing along
our lines to-day, particularly along the centre. It
is impossible; to say at present whether or not it was
General Grant’s design to provoke a general en
: gagement injthis; matter, \ The rebels very rarely,
Indeed, condescended to make reply, for the good
reason that ammunition is exceedingly scarce with
them, and their communications with the rest of
the Confederacy are. now' in much -greater hazard
of being severed than they have, ever been before,
Hast night; however, they threw a few shells into
Forts Davis'and Wadsworth, without hurting any- 1
body.
; Perhaps tho heavy firing to-day may be partially
explained by the other fact that fatigue-parties
have been engaged in straightening our linos, ad
vancing them a little here and' there,"and strength
ening'positions that before might be- considered
strong. New earthworks have been thrown up, and
'before the'sturdy strokes of our axemen acres of
. timber land-have Keen cleared away, as though by
magic. Iffeanwhile, let it be understood that these
measures-are not allowed to intefere with the pre
parations for aggressive action, which proceed as
usual, under the anxious superintence of Grant,
Meade, and their coadjutors. ■

BIS. VIEWS -REGARDING A CONVENTION OP THE
STATES—HIS HOPES FOR THR CONFEDERACY, - 1
The Columbia South Carolinian gives a full re
port of Jeff, Davis’ speech, delivered at that place
on the 4th inst., the main portions of which are as
follows: ' ’ ■ .
"* * South-Carolina has struggled no
bly In the war and suffered many sacrifices. There
is, indeed, no portion of our land where the pall of
mourning has not been spread ; ;but I thank the
Giver of all Good that our people still remain firm
there, above all other places. lam told there have
■ been none to waver and noneto doubt. If there be
any who feel that our cause is In danger, that Anal
success may not erowrqour. efforts, that we are not
stronger to-day. than, when we began - the struggle, -
that wo are not able to continue the supplies to our
armies and to our people,- let all • such read’a'con
. trad lot ion.ln the smiling faoo of our land, and the
teeming evidences or ..plenty which • everywhere
greet the eye ; "let thorn go to those* places where
brave men are standing in front of the foe, and there
receive the assurance that we shall have final suc
cess, and that every man who does not live to see
his country free, will see a freeman’s gravo. .
Thet'c are those who, likethe Israelites of old, are
longing to turn back to the flesh po!s they have left;
who have thought there still may have been some feasi
ble.imode of reconciliation, and even he willing to rush
into a reconstruction of the Union. Such, I am glad
to know, do not flourish on the soil of South Caro
lina. Such cannot bo tho sentiments of any man in
the OoEfederats States, if he will only recollect that
from the beginning down to the present hour, your
. Government has made every effort .within its powerto
avoid.a collision of : arms in: the first instances, and
• sifidi thifi possible means’orsettle--
ment-honorable to outaclves, ijw s « dcn a recognition
of our independence. First, we CdtttolsssonwA
to ask on what terms the tjuairal cottifl be adjusted,
auu slues tbat time we nave-proolatimed in every
public paper our desire for poace. Insolently our
every effort has: been met; The Vice President of
the Confederate States was refused: a passport to
ibe Isorth. when his object was : negotia.lion —tb.at
means by which all wars must be terminated. The
door was rudely shut in our. faces. Intervention ,
and recognition by foreign States, so
pated, nave proved an ignis fattens. There is, then,
but one means by which you can hope to gain inde-.
pendence and an honorable peace, 'and that’is by
uniting with harmony, energy and determination
in fighting those great battles and achieving those
great victories, which will teach the world that we
can defend our rights, and the Yankee nation that
it is death .to invade them,. ,* *,, *:
i Does any one believe that Yankees are to be obn-.
ciliated by terms of.concession 7 Does any man ini*
.aginethafcwe'oan conquer the Yankees by retreat
>ing before them, or do you not all know, that the.
only .way to make spaniels civil is to whip them 1
- AniLyou can whip them, if all the men capable of
bearing, arms will do their duty by . taking their
places under tho standard of their country, before
the veteran troops of the North receive the fresh'in
crement whidit is being gathered in the Northern
States. Now is the good and accepted time for every
man to rally to the stapdard of his country, and
crush the invader upon her soil; and this, I believe,
is in yourpower. If every man fit to bear arms win
pJace-himself In the cranks with those who are al
ready there, we shall, not battle in,vain, and our
achievements will be grand, final, and complete;, * *
Say not that you are unequal to the task, for I be
lieve that our people are raven better than were our
honored ancestors. They have fought, more and
bloodier; battles, and: there are fewer who are luke
warm.m the cause now than existed In the days
of the Revolution. « » * *

The speaker concluded by saying:
I believe it is in the power of the men of the Vow
federacy toplant our banners on the-banks of the Ohioi
■ where we may say to the Yankees, “ tie quiet, or we
■ shall ttach you ianother: lesson.”. Within the : next
thirty days much if, to be done, for .upon, our success
much depends. Within the next thlrtv dayß,theie
iore, let all who are absentees, or who ought to be
in the.army, go promptly to their ranks. Let fresh
via ories crown our arm, and the Reaceparfy, if there

whether a. Peace candidate is elected or not, Yankee

Early’s Defeat.—' The Richmond -Enffttirer of
the 24th speaks,as follows of Early’s defeat,
. Our information respecting tiio battle near Cedar
creek, on "Wednesday last, is that, one of the most
brilliant victories of the war had been gained by our
troops, but that, in an evil hour, when a portion of
our men were plundering the property they had.
captured, a small force of Yankee cavalry appeared
on our left flank, the plunderers took fright, and -
the words “we are flanked!” passed rapidly along
the linethe left gave way, and the rest followed,
panto stricken and demoralized in a moment. . The
enemy’s infantry before then was in ho condition,
cud wore without the disposition, after their defeat of
the morning, to attack; and, when the panic seized on
our men, were entirely ignorant of being so much as
accomplices to the fact. It was a great scare, which
resulted in a great temporary disaster, to the morale of
the'army, the loss of twenty-three pieces of artillery
anil a few stragglers. In the whole day’s operations
our losses in men, killed, wounded; and missing,
did not exceed eleven hundred. The enemy admit,
a- loss of five thousand. Sheridan arrived near the
scene of the battle, but neither he nor the best part
of his army were within several miles of the
“rebels ” when the latter took a notion that they
were‘‘flanked,” and mizzled,;: ..... , .
The Bombardment op the Rebel Fleet.—The
Dispatch of the 24th gives the annexed account of the
recent shelling of the rebel fleet on James River:
: Early Saturday morning our gunboats lying at
anchor in Graveyard bend, below Chaffin’s Bluff,
were opened upon by. a Yankee battery nowly
erected on Signal Hill, on the north bank, a mile
distant further down the river. One of the first of
the enemy’s shells exploded on the deck of the little
steamer Drewry, near her fore-gun, wounding two
men severely. The Drewry weighed anchor and
got out of range as quickly as possible, ’The Hon
ram Fredericksburg was struck several times, but
suffered little injury. The greatest damage. done
aboard of her was by oneof the Yankee shells, which
exploded immediately oyer her grating, wounding’
six men—four very slightly and two severely. It is
said the Richmond came In for her share of the fire,
and had her smokestack knocked into a cooked hat,
The enemy kept up the fire for an hour.-

[Special Correspondence of The Presß.l
WItRESBAKEB, FA,, Oct. 25.
We have just heard a noble argument in favor of
Union and Freedom, addressed to the hearts of our
citizens, by Hon. John W. Forney. The audience
was worthy of the speaker, because it comprised a
large part of the intelligence and respectability of
our town.; Mr. Forney held his audience firmly in
his intellectual grasp for about an hour and a half,
when he gave way to Mr. Thomas Fitzgerald, who
is new to us, but who justified all our expectations.
He spoke for an hour to the satisfaction of the,large
gathering. Luzerne will Improve on her 1 vote in
October. The Union men are; working with‘zeal
and efficiency; while their opponents are evidently
hopeless and dispirited. The sale of The Press has
largely increased with us within a month. It is
now ono of the prime necessaries of life. P,
..GEK.MoCnBO.Air Ukdkr Suspicion.—General
McClellan has been accused by Surgeon Bisscll, of
lowa, of "having talked of surrendering his entire
army, and of recognizing the Confederacy, while on
a boat in' the James river. While not anxious to
accept this evidence, we must avow that tho re
sponsible i statements regarding the: gunboat Ga
lena have never been deified by witnesses, and that
the rumor of surrender was common at the time of
the great disaster o* the James. General Kearney
styled the retreat from Malvern as : “dictated
by cowardice or ..treason.”- Mr. E, Oonkling,
of Cincinnati, boldly accuses General McClellan
of disloyalty, and presents eight columns of tes
timony on the subject. Dr, J. H. Pulte, Mc-
Clellan’s physician before the war, represents
him as a States Bights Democrat, exonerating the
South.. “ This impression, as to the General’s feel
ings in this respect was so"strong, that when I
heard of his elevation to the head of the army, I
was greatly astonished, and- feared for tho success
of the cause.” N. P, Perris alarms that after the
-firing on Port Sumpter Gen, McClellan said; In Ms
presence, “I hope tho South will now get her
rights.” Col. lieonidas Metcalf, haying said in
presence of McClellan that Jefferson Davis was a
scoundieiand a repudiator, McClellan “ straighten
ed himself up quickly,” and said :“I do assareyou
that you are mistaken. Jeff Davis is a perfect gentle
man, and will not do anything unbecoming a gentle •
man.” Col. Metcalf, who voted for Breckinridge,
says: “ I predicted that, sooneror later, Gen, Mc-
Clellan would show the cloven foot.” Other testi
mony is given from' the army records and the report
of Colonel Simpson, of the Corps of Engineers, and
/for thirty-two years a soldier in the regular army,
regarding the interview between Colonel Key, of
General McClellan’s staff, and General Howell
Cobh, inside the Union lines, daring the campaign
on the Peninsula—an interview entirely contrary to
military rules. General Cobb had perfect freedom
to inspect the Union defences, and in the sequel it
happened that the national lines were attacked at
tho point whore the interview was held. ;
A Democratic Leadbr’s Consistency.— The
conduct of the Hon. Emerson Etheridge during the
. war affords a fair index of the motives and’spirit
of the- Copperhead malcontents.: fn this city, a
" month ago/ Etheridge, delivered a vituperative
and indecent attack:, upon the President and Gover
nor Andrew Johnson, to which this Nashville Times
replies by publishing a letter -written to Governor
' Johnson, by Mr; Etheridge. It thus- appears that
Etheridge was the most violent advocate inTennes-,
see of radical measures against rebels and rebel
sympathizers, and that the cause of Mr. Etheridge’s
hostility was Ms rejection as a had adviser. In the
course of his letter, dated December 19,1801, at Pa
ducah, Kentucky, Mr. Etheridge spoke of rebels
and rebel sympathizers as “ scoundrels,” and said:
■ ‘ “ Great complaijit exisls here, because of the lenient,
do-nothing policy ., of 'Gen.' 'Smith, the 'commandant at -
'thispost, A VIGOROUS POLICY IS ABSOLUTELY NJS
CBSSABY. This IS A HELL-HOLE Off TREASON, and
EVERY .SUSPECTED VILLAIN, OUGHT TO BB PUT TO
, work under A negro OVERSEER." Until the rebels
are,made to suffer in the guts they will be insolent and
Jact the part of spies, I shall remain here some days
. longer, and until I can hear directly from those with
“whom lam anxious to communicate. It is but forty
■miles to the Tennessee lino, near which Is a rebel
■ camp in this State. It is this camp which make 3
the night of the Tennesseans so hazardous.
Whenever the Federal army advances, those
.who have been, drafted (on paper) will be ordered
under arms, and then the exodus will begin in ear
nest. One entire district in my bounty refused to
permit a draft, and were quieted only by an as
surance that it would be suspended. ‘ Contrabands ’
are arriving daily from Burnett's {in Kentucky) con
stituents, who have lost their rights under the Federal
Government! Their apology far their pedestrian per
formances is that their rebel masters are preparing to
run them off to Dixie. Of course all Union men are
glad to see them come, and not one of the traitors will
ever be permitted to reclaim them. Why should they
be r The NEGROES ARE, IN ALL RESPBOTS, BETTES
AND MOKE RESPECTABLE THAN SUCH MASTERS.”
Strangely enough, all Mr. Etheridge’s latespeeches
have been eulogies of the rebels, attacks upon the
negro, or advocacy of a “ do-nothing policy.”
Mr. Horace Maynard, a.Tennessean, who loves
his country better than slavery, said in a recent
speech “ that the employment of the negro soldier
was a great step forward,” and that the Govern
ment in tills matter “ needed no apology or excuse.”
The negro had always been found a friend to our
cause, to our armies., and to our soldiers. He un
derstood far better than his master the true merits
of this struggle ; in the flapping of our banners
there were words of freedom, and in the music of
our national.• tunes the notes of liberty. Always
ready to assist us, he has been a spy in'evory rebel
dining-room and bed-chamber, bringing to us the
most valuable information; he has always been
ready with food and shelter for our escaped priso
ners or fugitive soldiers; and if we. were not ready
to work in hisbehalf, we deserve the execrations of
mankind. He was not the author of this war, and
yet he is ready to assist us. Those bloody insurrec
tions in which, it was feared, he would participate,
have not been. When lie has found himself eman
cipated by the approach of the army, he has fallen
into no excesses. Those who said he' was Idle, have
only to go into the field where he is at work, to sea
their mistake. They would see that he is'able not
only to provide for the present, but to lay up for the
future. The Government , had expended more for
the support of refugees, and the wives and chil
dren of rebels in the army,' than for the families of
negroes. The soldiers,-who were told that his con
duct would disgrace the cause, have found it is not
so. Fort Wagner, and the recent little battle upon
the Cumberland, and numerous other instances,
r gave the lie to the assertion that he is a coward.” '
A New Dbttbr-S'BomGjsnbral McClellan.—
The following letter from G enoral-McClellan/- writ
ten lately to the McClellan Boglon of New York, is
interesting in view of the fact that in all his late
compliments to our generals. and soldiers he en
tirely ignores the namo of Grant:
My Dear Sir :i In consequence of an'absence of
several days from tome, your letter of the Sfch did
not meet my eye till to-day.

No greater compliment could have been paid to

i Major General Sonos-ißi-n, llbclabes for
Mr. liIKCOLn.— In a speech which ho delivered at
Frankfort, Illinois, a few days slnee, Major General
Schofield used this unequivocal language:
1 “When the war broke outl was In a condition to
be of Immediate service to that oountry which had
educated toe, and to which I owed all I had or could
hone to be. I was in the regular army. Many of
my associates and I parted company then. Many
of them became traitors. For me, my platform was
then, ever has been, since, and is now, the,Union—
undivided nationality at whatever cost -add at all

Missouri, I told the rebels there that the soil of Mis

taining to Its;proper functions; and that-it is a
patriotic duty to statid‘by it,'as our hope in peace
and our defence in war. - ; ;
Mr. Pendleton did not vote on this resolution,,
dodging the question because he was not able to
agree with the declaration that his Southern friends
had no cause of grievance; and so, his recent de
claration that he “ cherishes a great regard for the
Union,” means that that regard Is . qualified by
a greater regard :'for slavery and slaveholders,
since, on the vory next day after the vbtetsoa Mr.
Morris’ resolution, he found time and voice to vote
in favor of Mr. Orawfprd’g resolution; which da
dared “that tho Constitution of the United States
recognizes property in slaves.”
On the 7tK r February; Mr. Adrain, of New
Jersey; offered the;following: “.Resolved, That wo. ■>
fnlly approve the bold and patriotic act of Major
Anderson in withdrawing from Fort Moultrie to
Fort Sumpter, and of thedetermlnatlon oftlie I’rosf
dent to maintain that fearless officer in his present
position; and that we will support the ; President fat;
all constitutional measures to enforce the laws and
preserve the . Union”— pn which occasion Mr. Pen- '
dleton was again silent, his Southern friends not
“cherishing; regard for the Union” to that extent
which would permit him or them to vote In Its favor.
On the sth Ja,nuary, 1881, Mr. Howard, of Michi
gan; offered a series of resolutions directing an in
quiry to be made with reference to the forts, fort- '
re'sses, ships, .custom, houses, .arsenals, post offices,
and other public-property of the Government, etZ
involving “ facts material to the national safety and
national honor.” : Mr. Pendleton voted “Nay,» •

inquiry should be made~tho Secretaries of the seve

; February 14, IS6I, Branch, of North Carolina,
offered a resolution that Gen. Scott ought forthwith
to remove the regular troops from the capital as
their presencaanight bo “destructive of civil libem
ty!” Mr. Pendleton was again silent, although
eyen Cox of Ohio, and Million of yirginia, voted to
lay the resolution on the table. 'f ...
February!], 1861, .again Mr. P. “dodged ” oa
the amendment to the Naval Appropriation bill, by
which seven steam sioops-of-war were ordered to be
constructed; This was in accordance with Mr. Ton
cey’s way of doing things, ana was calculated to
show how “much regard he cherished ’’.for the de
fence of the Union. Cox, Milison, and oven Taos.
B. Florence! voted “aye.”' - : *i
August 5, 'lBOl/ Mr. Pendleton voted against rati
fying the act of the President “respecting- tho
army and navy of the United States, and- caning
out or relating to the militia or volunteers,” &e.
while yet the President had only taken the few con*
.servative steps which had preceded that date, and
which were all absolutely required by Ms oath of
office, none of them partaking of the character of
partisan measures. Mr. Pendleton’s “regard” was
still qualified.
Of course, Mr. Pendleton voted against the enrol
ment of colored soldiers, February 11, isei. Ha
could '.not .permit his “cherished regard for the
Union ” to favor the employment of any but those
.Who would be acceptable to Ms Southern Mends ;
and yet he voted against the enrolment bill, Febru
ary 25th, 1863, wherein no distinction of color was
mentioned, the language being merely “ able-bodied
.males,” .notwithstanding Ms “ cherished regard for
the Union,” while knowing fan well that there was
a necessity for an enrolment, which no excuse could,
justify a patriot in voting against, and without
which, the Union would soon be powerless to oppose
Ms Southern friends., /,
June 27,1804, he again voted against the amended
enrolment bill, as well as on tho 4th July, igei
when the hill became a, law. The sacredness of the
national sabbath of the American people gave no
impulse to the “cherished regard ” which he -bad
entertained In such a way as never to evince: his.
love for tho Union.
June 6/1864, he voted against the bilFto punish
guerillas, believing/no doubt, that as- they were of
thefold of his Southern friends, they were entitled
to his “ cherished regard,”, even if the Union was
'not-.:- ■ ■■■■■..
May. 12,1864, Mr. Pendleton the bill
GRANTING HOMESTEADS TO SOLDIERS AND SAILORS.
This, no doubt, has reference to the “grateful
remembrance” which the author of the CMcago
platform entertains for the soldier and sailor, since
Mr.Pi kept company with sixty-three members of Ms
own party who also voted against granting homesteads
to soldiers and sailors, out of that cherished regard
which he; and they have for the Union, and tho
“ grateful remembrance” which they entertain
for its brave defenders. : i
July 22, 1861 , Mr. P voted. “ That the present .do* ’
plorable civil war has been forced upon the country
by the disanionists of tho Southern States now in

in aims around the capitalbut on thelsth Janu
ary, 1864, when that “ deplorable civil war” had
shown a determination on the part of rebels In arms
to violate all the rules of honorable warfare and to
starve Unien soldiers to death, Mr. P, voted “That
It is (not) the political, civil, moral, and sacred
duty of the people to meet it (this desperate,
wicked, and bloody rebellion), fight it, crash it, and
forever destroy it;” and on the 29th February, .1864,
when there Were no votes against the resolutions of
Mr, Schenck, which delared that “ there is no middle
ground on which any good citizen or true patriot can
stand; neutralityj or indifference, or anything shoHof '
a hearty, support of the being a crime .
when the question is between loyalty and treason ,” iWn.
Pendleton did not vote; Ms “regard” “che
rished” no such sentiments as that; he believed
that the Union eouid get along without his supportl
On the 17th December, 1863, Green Clay Smith, of
Kentucky, offered three resolutions. One declared
that tho war should be prosecuted until the rebel
lion was subdued—to which Mr. Pendleton voted:
“nay” (probably for the reason that it declared
against '.‘any armistice,” and Pendleton has &
" cherished regard ” lor things of that sort). The
second was as follows: .“ That we hold It to be the
duty of Congress to pass all necessary bills to supply
■men and money, and the duty of the people to render
every aid in their power to tho constituted autho
rities of the Government in the crushing out of the
rebellion, and in bringing the leaders thereof ta
condign punishment.” There was one “nay” ta
this resolution, Benjamin G. Harris, of Maryland,
while Mr. Pendleton, who says, “I said, in my
place in Congress, that I would vote for all mea
sures necessary to enable the Govemmentto main
tain its honor and dignity/ and prevent disaster to
its flag—l have done so,” could not be found on that
record, “ his cherished regard,” which but a mo
ment earlier had induced him to vote for “armis
tice,” forgot ail about the “ honor and dignity of the
Government.” . The^.third resolution .of Smith’s,
was immediately thereafter? voted upon, with Mr.,
Pendleton ia the affirmative, that being a vote Of
