/la - We can take no notice of anonymous COMM
niontions. Wo do not return rejected manuscripts.
431- Voluntary correspondence is solicited from all
parts of the world, and especially from our different
military and naval departments. When used, It will
be paid for.
'WE RAVE a number of letters from friends,
Balding whether they shall telegraph us on
the night of the election, giving us the re
turns of their respective counties. To these
several inquiries we make this answer= t
every despatch sent by the friends of the
cause in different parts of the E tate, and
elsewhere, will be gladly and gratefully re
ceived. In every case.let them give us the'
gains or losses over the October vote for
Congressmen. -
Voters: . Whose Hearts yoU Gladden
,by your Ballots on Tuesday Next ?
•
The result of next Tuesday's, ballotings
will be watched with intense interest
thipughout the civilized vprld. The eyes
of millions are waiting to see it. A great
cloud of witnesses is encompassing us.
It will be watched with straining and
eager expectation on the other side the
Atlantic. If the brave standard-bearers
of the Union, LialcorA and JormsoN, are
elected, it will send a thrill of rejoicing to
the -hearts -of hundreds of true-hearted
Americans, who, on business or for plea-:
sure, are temporarily sojourning in foreign
lands. It will swell with delight the
hearts of thousands of devoted European
champions of freedom. But, if the result
be otherwise, exceeding great will be the
rejoicing 'of the monarchists and despots
of the Old World. These view our rising
greatness as a - republic with seared eye
- balls, such as Satan displayed when he
aim the felicity of our first parents in
:Eden. And if the Chicago Peace party
succeed they will gloat over the result
with surpassing joy.
How intense, too, the anxiety on next
Tuesday's account in the Army of the
Republic, among - the thousands of • brave
men fighting our country's battles under
GRANT, BEEMAN, SIIICEEDAST, and their,
heroic coadjutors) Shall - their hen& be
'strengthened and their hearts be encou
raged, or the contrary ? Or shall we, by
our suffrages thrill the hearts of the rebel
leaders, DAVIS, LEE, BEAURECIARD, Hoop,
MosEpv, And iirloCA.nsuastn ? These ques
tions address themselves to the heart and
conscience of every voter. Let them be
pondered wisely and well.
The Vote of Philadelphia.
Whilst the city of New York, in this
great conflict, has been swung from her
moorings, and is lending her powerful in:
fluence to the cause of the rebels, the city
Of PENN, of FRANKLIN, and of GIRARD,
happily remains true to her ancient re
nown. Here where the men of 1776 met
in council to break the fetters of British
tyranny—here where Liberty was first rung
out, on the unchained winds, to the land NO
to all the inhabitants thereof—thank God,
the patriotic and intelligent masses have
resisted every appliance to seduce them
from the path of duty, and inveigle them
into affiliation with slavery and rebellion.
In October last (the soldiers' vote included),
the city of Philadelphia signalized her de
votion to the country's cause by giving
nearly nine thousand majority for the can
didates of the. Union party. This noble
majority, on -Tuesday• next, ought to be
swelled to TEN THOUSAND, - at leasi.
And even that would not be more than
half the majority which this great and Patri
otic city of ours ought to give for LINCOLN
and Jontison. Freemen of Philadelphia, of
all classes, sects, and denominations ! Let
us" prove, by our suffrages, on Tuesday
next, that we arc not unworthy the sacred
memories that cluster around Independence
Hall, and that we,are true, as the magnet
to the pole, to• the great principles that
constitute it a Mecca of Liberty !
WE HAVE just returned. from a most in
teresting tour, through the counties of
Northern Pennsylvania, beginning with
Luzerne and ending at Tioga, and 'coming
back through Lycoming, Montour, North
umberland, and Dauphin. Called to these
points in the fulfilment of certain political
engagements, we had an opportunity to
address and to converse with many thou
sands of our fellow-citizens, and we state
with much pleasure that the friends of the
Union are wide awake and hard at work.
The gains in November in all the counties
named, with probably a single exception,
will be Union grails. It must not be for
gotten that a very large percentage of the
men who volquteered, as well at the be
ginning as in the third and fourth years of
the war, from the counties alluded to, was
composed of Republicans and loyal Demo
crats. In some cases one-third the voting
population of a township entered the ranks;
and when we consider this fact it is not ex
traordinary that there should have been a
alight falling off in the October contest.
This circumstance, however, is-eaplained
when we recollect that many who have
beretofere voted against us in these town
ships gave
. us their support on the 11th
ultimo. We think we shall gain at least
three hundred in Susquehanna over the
October vote, three hundred in Bradford,
at least four hundred in Tioga", and some.
of our friends mark higher figures. We
should be insensible of the kindness and
attention of the people of the counties
through which we passed if we did not
take this public method of referring to it.
Gov. SEYMOUR has issued a proclamation
calling upon county sheriffs to see that no
military forces shall be allowed to show
themselves near the polls, and authorizing
the civil authorities to call out the power of
their districts to . drive United States sol
diers away.. • Gen. Dix has information
that thousands pf - refugees, rebels, and de
serters have crossed from Canada to in
terfere with the elections, and has ordered
the military to arrest all who are discover
ed. If the military are opposed in this
duty by Governor SEYMOUR, he will be
guilty of a crime against public`order and
the national safety.
WHAT will Delaware do ? Having lost
Maryland by a fair vote of the people, the
slaveholders; taking the oath. and breaking
it according to the advice of 'a distinguish
ed publicist, the next and nearest State to
Pennsylvania upon which they rely to go
for MCCLELLAN is Delaware. What are
you doing, " Blue Hen's Chickens ?" Are
you willing , to be counted out in this fight ?
Can you not accomplish as much as Mary
land ? There is not a rebel soldier in Fort
Delaware who, if permitted to vote, would
not vote against you, and who, if per
mitted to fight, would not invade and
ravage your fair fields. Let the patriots of
New Castle, Kent, 'and Sussex be awake
from this time to the day of the election.
A. FEW day s agb a wounded soldier
entered one of the city passenger cars, and,
shortly after taking his seat, was brutally
insulted by one of the Copperhead bullies..
Nothing but the appeals of the conductor
prevented him from being thrown into the
street. But had the 'soldier been expelled
the cars we should probably have had
a Democratic meeting rejoicing over the
act.
HoN. DAVID WILMOT, of Bradford coun
ty, whose health has, been such as to
prevent him from public speaking, is now
addressing his friends and neighbors. His
speeches before the Congressional election
were characterized by all the fire of his
youth. We hope to be able to print a full
report of his last powerful argument be
fore the citizens of Towanda.
THE Union men of York county are
making zealous efforts for their cause, and
promise to increase their vote one thousand
at the coming election. This will prove a
greater victory . than majorities in other
counties, and we hold it up in prospect as
an incentive- to ail working Union men
throughout the State.
It is beyond dispute alit all the interests
engaged in the 'attempt to depreciate the
national securities, and_ to encourage the
advance in gold, and hence 'upon all the
necessaries of 'life, are the friends of
GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN.'• There is no
financial reason, and no military reason for
this • advance, but it is clear that the men
who have been gambling in gold have
seized the . present moment in order to
frighten the hundreds of thou3ands who
have invested in national securities, so that
these latter may be induced to throw their
votes against Mr. LINCOLN on Tuesday
next. Strangely enough, the very men
engaged in . this bad business daily contend
in newspapers that GEORGE B. MCCLEL
LAN is sure to be the next President. Can
it be, then, that General McCLELLAN's
election, according to the horoscope of the
newspapers in his interest, is the cause of
this rise in gold ?
TirE ATTEMPT to excite a popular tumult
on account of the accidental death of a ci
tizen who was among the spectators of the
Democratic procession on Saturday night,
is fitly contrasted with the utter indifference
of the men engaged. in this monstrous we
ceeding, when they hear of the massacre of
thousands of the brave soldier@ of the Re.;
public by the rebels in arms. We have no
Democratic meetings of sympathy when
we hear of Democrats butchered in cold
blood by these same rebels. We have no
Democratic meetings when the guerillas
shoot down , unoffending citizens in. E a -stern
Viiginia, and. strip and mutilate the dead
bodies of the men theyhave murdered. We
have no Democratic meetings to raise
money to supply the families of the - fighting
men of the Republic. We have no Demo
cratic meetings in denunciation of the re
bels themselves. It now appears, in order
further to excite frenzied and ignorant
men, this great party is invoked to proceed
to violence because a citizen happened to
meet his death by - the hands of some un
known ruffians. . . •
- FRIENDS OF THE Republic in ;the heavy
so-called Democratic counties, a word to
you.
.Friendp in 33erks, Northampton,
Montgomery, Lehigh, Schuylkill, York,
Wayne, Pike; Westmoreland, Greene, Ly
coming, Luzern, Northumberland, and
Centre, what are you doing ? Are you
aware that, notwithstanding you are in a
minority, every vote thrown for ABRAM/far
LINCOLN counts as much as a vote Ult .- own
for him in Philadelphia, in Lancaster, or in
other cities ? Are you looking after the sol
diers who are at home i have you prepared
your caitiages to haul the wounded, the
lame, and the sick to the polls ? •
IT IS announced in another column that
liIcuABD O'GORMAN, of New York, will
make a speech to the " conservative citi
zens" at Musical Fund Hall this eve
ning. As our readers may suppose, from
the announcement in our advertising co
lumns, that there is something in The
O'Gorman, we will simply say that he
is a New York Copperhead, and comes on
to make a Copperhead speech. His last
speech was a defence of FERNANDO WOOD,
which may be found in the New York
Hews of yesterday. The O'Gorman does
not belong to the stud of speakers who
have been kept in the stables of the circus
where the ".war-horses of Democracy"
have been performing, and therefore he is
brOught out as a' special show .at the Mu
sical Fund Hall. It is possible he will sing
a song. '
Mn. CHARLEs Bnowlr, of Delaware,
formerly of this city, addressed a Copper
head meeting at the Continental Theatre
last night. He exclaimed, " You are to be
cheated out of the election. There is no
chance for our candidates. Can you bear
this ? I call upon you to arm yourselves
Now—don't wait till aftei• the election—arm
yourselves now and prepare to resist your
oppressors. Will you fight?" About one
hundred and ninety voices answered " We
will I" "That is metal of tile true ring,"
cried Mr. Bnowic--"you must arm your
selves and fight 1" For these bloody in
structions Mr. BROWN should be accounta
ble to the laws he has defied. We cannot
afford to 'have defeated candidates from
other States exciting our own citizens to
riot. His call should have been answered
by the police.
• ONE or the most instructive lessons of
the war is to see how the great men of the
once Democratic party stand by the Go
vernmenrl-men like DICKINSON, TOD,
and BROIIGII. As an illustration of 'this,
when Justice GRIER, of the Supreme Court
of the. United States—who always acted
with the Democratic party before the re
bellion—came up to vote in the Eighth
ward, a Democratic challenger handed him,
in 18,63, the Democratic ticket, he asked for
the Union ticket, and voted it openly.
Justice GRIER contemplates a similar crime
on Tuesday next.
THE STO.EY" that the crew of the gunboat
Galena voted 'for MCCLELLAN demands
further comment, in
_justice to a fiery gal
lant officer. The ccimmander of this vessel
is Captain CLARK H. WELLS, whose Union
ism- is as decided as his courage and dis
tinction. Originally a Democrat, this.able
and loyal sailor will not suffer his good
name to rest under the impttation that he
serves the rebellion while holding a com
mand under the . national flag.
- Tnr. Opposition journals and leaders have
laid much stress on the assertion that there
will be another draft, and have thus made
the worst appeal to the fears of the poor and
ignorant. Hon. W3I. WHITING, Solicitor
for the War Department, gave the stamp of
official 'denial to this unscrupulous story in
his masterly and eloquent speech in Boston.
He said :
"Prior to October 1 the Government had obtained
under the last call for troops over 12.0,000 volunteers,
and the completion of the draft now, going on, in the
opinion of competent judges, will furnish all the men
needed during the war. With the 155,000 colored
soldiers now in the service, and the volunteers
. coming In, we shall bo able not only to reinforce
Grant, but to form a now army, and march through
the south, cutting off the enemy's supplies, while
they are shut up in their fortified towns."
This disposes of the placarded falsehood
with which the enemies of the Government
have endeavored to seduce the people from
honor and manhood.
LEBANON COUNTY promises to do better,
and it ought to do better. It has the
votes and the men to bring out the votes.
There is no county in the State in which
there are more active and conscientious
Unionists than Lebanon, and we are pleased
to hear that they have determined to swell
the majority beyond that of October.
POTTER COUNTY fell far behind what
was expected of her in the last election,
'and We are happy to inform our readers
that CLINTON LLOYD, of Lycoming, one
of the thorough Democrita now sup
porting Mr. Lnicomes Administration,
ha undertaken to stump that interesting
regTOn. We set down Potter -for at least
seven hundred majority for Lnicomi and
JOHNSON.
A GREAT MEETING was held last night at
Downingtown, Chester county. Cheiter
should do better under the gallant lead of
WITMER WORTHINGTON, P. FRAZER SmITH,
JOHN MARSHALL, Judge HAINEs, HENRY
S. EVANS, and 'SA2IVEL RINGWALT.
Old Chester should add at least five hun
dred to her majority on Tuesday next.
Wn ABE not surprised to hear that our .
friends in Eric and Crawford are a little
ashamed that they have allowed their vote
to fall off in October, and that they are
working with herculean zeal to send us
glorious news on the Bth of November.
DAUPHIN COUNTY promises nobly, and
one of our enthusiastic friends goes so far
as to say that she will give us thirteen hun
dred majority in November. - We will be
satisfied with a' thousand.
TrrE SPERCIEES of Governor CURTIN in
faVor of Li:moral and JOEINBON are the
best he' has ever made. His addresses in
Chester and 'Lebanon counties have been
most effective and eloquent.
Abuse of Our Brave Soldiers.
As the decisive DAY approaches the deep
seated hatred of the Copperheads against
our gallant soldiers waxes . strong'er and
stronger. Within thelast few days nume
rous displags of this character have come
to our 'knowledge. One of. our most trust
worthy citizens relates the following : On
day 'before yesterday (Tuesday) a soldier,
who had just come from one of our hospi
tals, hobbling On crutches, entered a Second
street passenger car. The bravo man had
been wounded under SICERIDAN in the She
nandoah Valley. Scarcely had he been
seated when a blustering McClellanite,
without any .provocation, began to assail
him with a volley of abusive, epithets, such
as "Lincoln hireling," " nigger . hunter,"
" loafer," &c. Even the brave man's
wounds were made a subject of ridicule
and reproach. All this Billingsgate abuse,
too, be it remembered, came from one who
had scarcely been six months in the coun
try, and in its defence had not sacrificed
the value of a sixpence Our informant
states that so exasperated were the rest of
the passengers that, except for the pre
sence of several ladies and the earnest re
monstrances of the conductor, 'the base
calumniator would have been ejected, heels
over head, from the car. And yet, hard to
believe, this self-same party that tolerates
these things is daily and hourly appealing
to these same brave soldiers for their votes !
Can insolence and infatuation go further ?
WE 'RECORDED, a few days ago, the
death of Lewis EINGSVALT, a sergeant of
the I.7th Pennsylvania Cavalry, who was
mortally wounded by the guerillas near
Winchester, while escorting the chief
quartermaster and medical direct& of
SHERIDAN'S army. This brave soldier
had participated in forty-three engage
ments, and escaped injury to die at the
hands of the guerillas. Before his
death he stated that, although he had fre
quently read accounts of the rebels
stripping and mutilating the bodies of our.
wounded patriots, he had never before
personally witnessed this atrocity, but
that he could now bear testimony that, as
he was carried along in. an ambulance,
bleeding from several .deadlX wounds, he
saw these miscreants robbing the corpses
of our Men, and, . while doing this, utter
ing the most frightful expressions. Ser
geant Encowera .was one of fourteen
brothers, twelve of - whom are yet alive,
and his veracity was as unquestioned
during his lifetime as his unparalleled
bravery. But we hear of no Democratic
meetings called to sympathize over the
loss of such a man, and to denounce the
fiendish cruelty of *the savages who pil
fered the remains of his fallen . compa
triots.
YESTERDAY a grand Convention of War
Democrats was held in New York. Read
the resolutions adopted. Can any true
Democrat object to them? Where, among
the friends of IicenELLAN and PENDLE
%TN, can be found as good Democrats as
JAMES WonnALL, Generals. Drs, SICKLES,
WOOL, and WALDRIDOE, HENRY G. STEM-
Ems, and Judge PrEnnEPONT ? We are
proud to see Pennsylvania so well repre
sented in this great Convention.
"WE tirua, have no more of Old Abe's
jokei," was the inscription on one of the
transparencies carried in the procession of
Saturday night. The sober truth is, the
Copperhead sympathizers care not so much
for President LaTconx's jokes as they do
for his earnestness in the suppression of the
rebellion. They dislike this by far the
most.
A. GREAT effort will be made to secure a
large vote for MCCLELLAN in the oil re
gion, and the Copperheads hereabouts are
making their boasts that the majority will
be against Mr. LINCOLN. What do the
public-spirited, progressive, aid determined
men who have taken charge of the great
enterprises in that quarter, think of this
vaunt ?
THERE rs not a Union man in Philadel
phia who should not give all his time, or
as much of it as he can spare between now
and the election, to the good cause. Every
patriotic citizen- has a certain influence in
his own circle, and he should exert it in
cessantly prior to the great contest of Tues
day next.
TO-lIGIIT Mr. J. W. FORNEY will ad
di•ess the citizens of his own ward, the
Fifth, at the hall in Third street, near
Spruce.
TEE LOYAL merchants of Pittsburg have
determined to close their stores on the day
when we are to elect a President of the
United States. Why should not the patri
otic merchants of Philadelphia follow the
example ?
THERE should be meetings in every
ward in the city, every night before the
election, to be addressed by the speakers
of the wards. Will our friends bear this
in mind ?
IT - ArusT not be forgotten that nearly one
hundred thousand McClellan men in Penn-,
sylvania opposed the amendment to the
Constitution allowing the soldiers to vote,
while not a single friend of ABRAitem.-14 .
corm' voted the same way.
WHEN THE corpse of Major General
BITIFET was borne to his grave, followed
by such a concourse as has rarely been seen
in Philadelphia, we had no Democratic
meeting denouncing the men contending
against whom he had met his death.
WHAT is the reason that so many of
General McCLELLex's friends attack and
ridicule the soldiers of the Republic ? Is it_
because they fight and vote for the Union ?
DIE TRAIN OF GEORGE. FRANCIS TRAIN
is running through :the State, to the •great
consternation of the Copperheads, and at
every station he stops - and tapes on a. new
load of Union passengers.
IN ALL the resolutions of the recent
,
Democratic ward meetings we have yet to
see a single resolution condemning the
rebel assassins of our friends and brothers.
GRRAT sax the changes that twenty years have
made in Northejn Pennsylvania—changes not only
in political sentiment, but changes of society—
changes in the physical character of the country—
changes in the manner in which the people live,
and In the hotel accommodations. We saw
thousands of acres of land cleared, which, .in
'18414, were covered with impenetrable forests ; and
what were then forests are now not only flourishing
towns, but large communities. Montrose is &minim
ture city—a gem situated in the midst of a fertile
valley—inhabited by a refined, intelligent, and pro
gressive people. Towanda has some private resi
dences of remarkable beauty. Troy, Brad ford coun
ty, is athriving, buoy, go-ahead place, and reminds us
of Scranton, in Luzerne, and Now Castle, In Law
rence. NV ellsboro, three hundred miles from Phila•
delphia—without railroad connections, without a ca
nal or river, without limestone, and deprived of
many of the facilities that assist other localities—
is one of the most promising towns in thiinterior of
• the State. The hotels on our route that we had an
opportunity of testing were deserving of all praise,
exhibiting an improvement of what we experienced
twenty years ago as marked as It was gratifying.
We would note among these the "Searle House,"
managed by T. Chamberlin, at Montrose, the
"Wald House," at Towanda, kept by Pow
ell & Co., the "Troy House," at Troy, Bradford
county. Of which Judge Voiney M. Long is the pro
prietor, one of the most loyal and courteous gentle
men in that section of the country, and the hotel at
Northumberland, of which "Uncle Joe" is the
respectable and patriotic chief. Halting at Harris
burg at night, the trains having missed, we stopped
at the "Jones" House, now managed by Charles
H. Mann, well known in Philadelphia and else
where, a former Democrat, who, like thousands of
others, broke from the Democratic trammels when
he saw that that organization had surrendered
itself to treason.
Dn. BZDMAN 00:00B LII3ItARY.—On Tuesday,

city.
THE .CAPTI7RE OF VIE P.AM. ALBEMARLE.
Admiral PORTER communicates to the Secretary
of the Navy the following interesting particulars
from Lieutenant Cushing regarding the capture of,
the rebel ram Albemarle
ALDEAS.ABLE SOUND, N. C., Oct. 10.—Sin : I
have the honor to report that tho iron-clad Albe
marle is at the bottom of the Roanoke river. On
the night of the 27th, having prepared my steam
launch, I proceeded up towards Plymouth with thir
teen officers and men,. partly -volunteers from
the srmadrort. The distance from the mouth of
the river to the ram was about eight miles, the
stream averaging in width some two hundred
yards, and lined with the enemy's pickets. A. mile
below the town was the wreck of the Southfield,
surrounded by some schooners, and it was under
stood a Run was mounted there to command the
bend. I therefore took one of the Shamrock's cut
ters in tow, with orders to east off and board at that
point if we were' hailed. Our boat succeeded in
passing the pickets, and even the Southfield, with
in twenty yards, without discovery, and we were not
hailed until by the lookouts on the ram.
The cutter was then cast off and' ordered below,
while we made for our enemy under a full head of
'steam. The rebels sprung their rattle, rang the
bell. and commenced tiring, at' the, same time re
peating their hail, and seemingniuoh confused.
The light of a fire ashore showed me that the iron
' clad was made fast to the wharf, with a pen of logs
anchored about thirty feet from her side: -- Pisslug
her closely, we made a complete -4 01rd°, so as to
strike her fairly, and 'wont into ter bows on. By
this time the enemy's fire was .very ,severe; but a
dose of canister at short range served to moderate
their zeal and disturb their aim:.
Paymaster Swan, of the Otsego, was wounded
near me, bat how many more I know not: Three
bullets struck my clothing, and the air seemed full
of them.. In a moment we had struck the logs just
abreast of the qnaxter• port, breasting them in
some feet and our bows (nesting on them., The
torpedo boom was then lowered, and by a vigor
ous pull I succeeded in-diving the torpedo under
the over-hang and exploding it; at the same time
that the Albemarle's gun was area a shot seemed
to go craehing through my boat, and a dense mass
of water rushed in from the. torpedo, filling the
launch and completely disabling her. The enemy
then oontinnod his fire at fifteen feet range and
demanded our surrender, which I twice refused,
ordering the men to save themselves; and remov
ing my own coat and shoes, and springing into
the river, I swam with the others into the middle
of the stream, the rebels failing to hit us. The
most of our party were captured; some were
drowned, and only one escaped besides myself, and
he in another direction.
Actirg Master's Mate Woodman, of the Comma
Bore Hull, I met in the water, half a mile below the
town, and assisted bins ae best I could, but failed to
get him ashore. Completely exhausted, I managed
to reach the eller°, but was too weak to crawl out of
the water until just at daylight, when I managed to
oreepinto the swamp olose.to the fort. While hiding
a few feet from the path two of the Albemarle's offi•
cers passed, and I judged from their conversation
" that the ship was destroyed. Some hours' travelling
in the swamp served to.bring me out well below. the
town. when I sent a negro. in to gain information,
and found that the ram was truly sunk.
Proceeding through another swamp I came to a
creek and captured a skiff belonging to a picket of
the enemy, and with nip, by eleven o'clock the
next night, had made my way out .to the Valley
City. Acting Master's Mate Wm.. L. Roworth, of
'the Montreal, showed, as usual, conspicuous
bravery. Be is the same officer who has- been with
me twice in Wilmington harbor. I trust' be may
be promoted when exchanged, as well` as. Act
ing Thhd Assaistant Engineer Stotesliary, who,
being for the first time under fire, handled his en
gine promptly and with coolness. All the officers
and men - behaved in the most gallant manner.
. The cutter of the Shamrock boarded the-South
field, but found no gun. Four prisoners were taken
there. The rain is now completely submerged, and
the enemy have sunk three schoenen in the river to
obstruct the passage of our.ehip. - •
I desire to call the attention of the Admiral and
Department to the spirit manifested by the sailors
on the ships in these sounds. But few mon were
wanted, but all hands were eager to go into the
section. There were more offers than chosen, and
many shipmates.offered the latter a month's pay to
resign In their favor.
I am, sir, very , respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
W. B. OUSIIING, Lieut. U. S. N.

[Correspondence of the Aseoclated Press.]
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OP TILE 1?0TOMAO, Nov.
I.—The surprise and capture of a part of our picket
line on Saturday night occurred in front of Fort
Davis, and the men taken belonged to the 69th. and
311th New York. They were for the greater part
new men, and somewhat ignorant of their duties,
and hence were not so watchful as the older troop]
who have been on duty at this part of the line.
This is the same place whore our men some time
ago played this - rebels a similar trick, and the
utmost vigilance has ever since been exercised on
both sides to prevent a repetition of the oceurrenoe ;
but when the late movement commenced every
man in the ranks left behind had to take his turn
on picket, and some of these men, it is said, had
never loaded a gun. It seems the rebels did not
carry off a single musket belonging to our soldiers,
as they were all found and brought in by General
Pierce's brigade, which went out to re-establish
the line.
The only way to account for this is, that their
force was too small to carry so many extra arms, and
that they did not have time to return for them. Al
though the firing was kept up by both sides of the
line here, no casualties are reported. Last night It
was kept up during most of the night, but the line
remains the same as it was 'previous to the affair.
All is quiet this morning. We are having Indian
summer here. The mornings and evenings are cold
enough to render fires very agreeable, while the
days are just warm enough to make ont-cloor life the
most pleasant imaginable. W. D. Mail.

Dr. J. W. Ross, who stands high as a clergyman

the entire State of North Carolina, as well as

able to protect themselveis. In the westerripart of
the State they reign supreme, making repeated raids
on wealthy planters and rebel depots for supplies.
and giving protection to runaway slaves, who are
also armed and accompany these bands of deserters
In raiding expeditions. Dr. Ross says the rebel au

men back into the rebel ranks, having been repulsed
in all efforts tq this end.' Every expedition fitted
out for this purpose has proved a failure, for those
who were not killed In battle deserted to the twilir_

,(Prom the Charleston Mercury, Oct. 6.1
In order, we presume, that he might not be mis
understood in his policy of reconstruction, the Vice
President refers to the Convention of 1787 as the
model of the convention he proposes for the assem
bling of the Confederate and the United States to
p ether. Let us see, then, whatwas the Convention
of 1787 :
1. The Convention of 1787 arose from the supposed
deficiencies of the articles of confederation, to carry
on the affairs of the United States. It Was &fled by
States already in confederation, after their inde
pendence was achieved, and the war with Great
Britain was ended, to alter or amend their articles
of confederation:. Is this now the condition of the
Confederate' and of the United States towards each
other? In 1787, the States which assembled together
in convention were at that very time united together
under one Government, and upon the most inti
mate relations of amity, having fought together
through a seven years' war, for their common inde
pendence and liberty. In 1864 Mr. Stephens advo
catea a convention of the Confederate States with
the United States, from whom they havo separated,
because of their faithlessness and oppressions, and
who are now waging against them a fierce and
barbarous war for their subjugation. The circum
stances, then, In which the States which formed the
Convention of 1787 were placed, are very different
frdm those in which the Confederate and the
United States now stand toward each other. The
former was a convention of friends, the latter must
be a convention of enemies.
2. Mr. Stephens proposes that the delegatesap
pointed to the Convention of 1864 shall be clothed
with powers to consult and•agree upon some plan of
adjustment of out present difficulties and strife, to
he submitted. for subsequent ratification by the
sovereign States whom it affected. So far as the
submission of its labors to the States•for
tion is concerned, the proposed Convention of 186/
is like the Convention of 1787 ; but there is a most
striking difference between them as to the matters
to be adjusted. There were no ." difficulties "as
to rights; there was no "strife" displayed or
lUtious war to be adjusted in the Convention of
1787. But now we are to rgo into a convention
withthose who deny us all rights, and who hive.
been for three years striving by the sword to root
out of our land.
3. The Convention of 1787 was assembled to "form
a snore perfect Union." The preamble of the Con
stitution submitted to the States for their ratifies.-
tion places.this as the very first reason which go
verned their labors. General. Washington, the
President of the Convention of 1787, assigns this
as the one great object of the Convention. Now,
no Union exists at all between the Confederate and
the :United States. But if the Convention Mr.
Stephens proposes is to be like the Convention of
1787, its grand object must be "to form a more per
fect Union" between the Confederate and the Uni
ted States ; in other words, a reconstruction of the
deint et Union.
. . . _
4. The . Convention of 3787 was limited in its pow
erti.. The resolution of the Congress on the Confede
ration recommended "that a convention should
meet in Philadelphia on the second Monday in May
ensuing, for the purpose of revising the articles of
Confederation, and reporting
.to Cong Teas and the
several Legislatures such alterations and provisions
therein as shall, when agreed to in Congress, be Con
firmed by the States." Mr. Stephens supports a
convention of the Confederate and the United
States, in which the delegates shall be limitless in
their powers. They are to - be "clothed with powers
to consult and: agree
'rights,
some plan of adjust,
ment." Oar liberties, rights, and independence
are all to be liable' to the "plan of adjustment."
Why the jealousy which actuated our fathers in en
tering into the ,Convention of 1787, formed only
with friends, should be repudiated on entering a
proposed convention with our unprindipled Yankee
enemies, is a matter, we presume; quite beyond our
humble appreciation.
The Recent Speeches at Fanenil
The Boston correspondent of the Springfield Re
publican says:
The people have an intense appetite - for public
!peaking, this fall. I have never known so many
Eaneufl Hall meetings, and there is a great demand
for " orationists" in almost every town in the east
ern and oentral parts of the State. Boston has' had
its fairshare of the great speeches of the campaign.
Mr. Everett's speechEl did not hear, bat it seemed
to me, on the reading, to be very strong, and I know
that It has done, and is doing, great good. On the
question of slavery it was particularly satis
factory,. goink almost, If not quite as far as
Mr. Sumner, who, in his celebrated reaoln
tions, or In one of his speeches, held that
the man who, in this crisis, deals tenderly
towares slavery, is, in fact, "giving aid and coal
felt to the' enemy." I did not hear Colonel Bait
lock at 'Farman Hall, but the ground-work of his
speech was laid out in my hearing in - the Town
Hall in Malden, and I am, therefore, well prepared
to acquiesce in the judgment of a gentleman
well versed in literature as well as politics—
moreover not . specially an admirer of Oolonel B.—
who says it was a very' brilliant and effective
speech indeed. There is no denying the speaker's
oratorical powers. Dougherty, the Philadelphia
Irish lawyer, is said to have - been immense."
Last night we bad General Banks, and his speech
was no less a succesa,"judging by the applause of
his great audience, than those of the speakers
whose fame had filled Faneuil Hall before him. So,
on the whole, we may safely say that we have had
Fp tc ch es which compare well with, if they do not
excel, those of Carl Schurz, Charles D. Drake, and
Henry Winter Davis, which have been, as far as I
have observed, the best of those delivered abroad.
I am not so familiar with the Copperhead speeches,
but I think Reverdy Johnson and Robert C. Win-.
throp have the bad pre-eminence of making the
ablest speeches yet delivered on that side. Win
throp's speech at New London is very cunning, and
crammed with falsehOod from beginning to end.
don't see how such respectable mon as Sam C.
Tucker can stay in a party which tolerates such. a,
fellow as Winthrop.
The Nemorn7iaing linfinenee of Slavery
--European Opinion.
To the Editor of The Press: •
Sin : Many an article and many a book has been
written on this subject, and, no matter how con
vincing the proofs were,'there are still people, yes,
even people who claim to be Christians, who not
only deny this foot, but try to" prove the opposite.
1 will not enter upon the abAirdity of this endeavor,
but I will try to point out a MT fact to substantiate
the old truth that a nation burdened-with the curse
of slavery must become corrupted‘and demoralized,
in spite of the beneficent influence of literature,
science, and Christian religion. When we read
history, and turn to the pages Of the cruel treatment
of prisoners of war, to the martyrdom of the early
Christians, and to the infamous working of the In
quisition of the dark ages, we often congratulate
ourselves that literature, science, and' Christianity
have made mankind better, milder, and less bestial.
If the reader will take the trouble to - peruse the
lately published report of the Sanitary Commission
on the treatment of our men in the hands or the
Southern Confederacy as prisoners of war, he will
find that there is a Government that there is a peo
ple, who call themselves Christians, who claim the
point of intellect and education* am this continent,
and who have invented a new treatment of priso
ners; more cruel than if they would enslave them,
or use them to fight wild animals to amuse the
masses—they have invented the horrible procedure
of gradual starvation.. They manage it well, to the.
roughly annihilate those brave men, whom they
dread to meet in fair contest.
Starvation and• neglect make living skeletons,
food for the grave, and estndidatees for lunatic
asylums, out of our patriotic soldiers who get_tils
abled and captured in battle, or by that warfaring
peculiar to the Southern chi valry,called bushwhack
ing. I hear that the Sanitary Commission' will
send thoufands of this book to Europe, to give
those nations, on the other side of the Atlantic a
picture of sSoutliern 'chivalry. I wonder what tris
pious English, and the chivalric French nations
will say to this verdict. .
The blockade.running trader and secesh friendly
nobility of England will pass by it, the one calcu
lating his pronts, and the other gratifying his hatred
to democratic America in the continuance of our
civil war. But the democratic masses of England
and France will ponder over it, and will learn the
old truth anew, that slavery is the greatest curse a
nation can be burdened with; that it demoralizes
nations more than even wars. They will perceive
that this treatment of our prisoners at the South
was not done by the scum of the Southern populace,
but was deliberately conceived, Concluded, and
cruelly executed by the rulers of the rebellion, by
that proud class of slave-owners and planters who
call themselves the creme of society, and who claim
to be made of better material than the laboring
classes. Europe will come to the conclusion thatour
regeneration cannot be profound nor lasting with
out .the abolition of slavery. The efforts of pro
slavery agitators in Europe and the countenance
lent the rebellion by mercenary traders and unprin
-010611 Jewish bankers abroad and here, will receive
their true stamp of villainy by this document, any
how, with theplarge masses of educated and liberty
loving Christians all over the world.
W e know that Germany not only frowned down
the rebel loan of Erlanger; but its large and nume
rous banking and mercantile houses were the first
and almost only ones who sold their English stocks
and invested in our Government loans. They
did se in.spite of the ridicule of the Thunderer,rand
they will de's° in, spite of Secretary Benjamin's
warnings. Germany not only sends her money, bat
also her children to this country ; and if the Sani
tary Commission could be induced to send its pork,
in a good German translation, in ten or twenty thou
sand copies, to the great readers and thinkers of the
German nation, it would do more good than to send
it to our enemies along the Atlantic coast of Eu
rope.
This book should be read by all reading nations ;
and as the English. and the German languages are
the two languages which are most read and widest
spread, the Sanitary Commission would only extend
Its Influence and the truth of our cause in war.
At the same time, we wish that every .thinking
man in this country would read this most excellent
work, got up by the only desire for truth, and writ
ten in a manner to ba of interest, as much to the
man of letters, the man of science, as to the reader
at large• • Thrrort.

WALNITT•STRIZET TairaTaa.—The sensation play,
entitled " Waiting for the Verdict," performed for
the first time in Philadelphia, at Walnut-street
Theatt e, op Monday, belongs to a peculiar class.
Like Douglas Jerrold's Rent Day" and Bond
cault's "Heart of Midlothian," it was written with
the view of presenting on the stage a scenic tableau
in which the grouping of a well-known picture fa
reproduced. Like "Jonathan Bradford , ' and some
similar pieces, the unreliability of circumstantial
evidence is the moral point dramatically worked
out. The playwright has not done'his part vary
well,.yet some of the characters are fairly conceived
and developed, and the situations are effective.
The story is English, and therefore a. hit or two at -
the game-laws may not be out of place. A man 13
tried for murder, under Circumstances of grave sits
ptcion. The trial scene is all but a failure, teethe.
evidence, though well delivered by all the witnesses,
does not bring out the facts, and the speeches of
counsel are feeble in the extreme. The anise-en.
scene of this act, and, indeed, of the whole play,
is good, but we beg leave to say that the
two heroes, Jonathan and Jasper Roseblade, blun
der in appearing as moustached English yeo
men, and ought to sacrifice their hirsute honors
to the reality of the costume. Neither, in any
legal court in England, are the usher and crier
fantastically attired in the scarlet and 'ermined
robes worn by the 'Venetian nobility (of the stage)
in "The Merchant of Venice" trial scene. Mr.
Malieau Buchanan played the part of Jonathan Rose
blade, an aged man, with. a subdued energy which
was at once true and touching. In no one point
did. he overstep reality, and we must say that we
prefer his domestic to his legitimate tragedy. Altai
Bnehapan had a part which any walking lady could
have !played as well—except, perhaps, In the last
act. Mr. J. A. Herne, as the younger Roseblade,
acted with spirit and effect. The best-sustained,
character in the play, however, was that of Jonas.
Bundle, the real villain of the plot, which was.
played in a truly artisticai, and, therefore, natural,
manner, by Mr. B. Young, a gentleman who ev.l.-.
dently studies the moaning ip order to catch.thia.
spivit of every character ha personates. Mrs.
Charles Henri, who is a decided acquisition.to the
stook company here, played the part of a, village
lass, and Mr. S. Hemple was extremely,drolb, as
usual, in the charaeter.of Blinkey Brown. There is
a good deal of fun is this play, notwithstanding its
serious character. It may be added. that the au
dience in the second tier and gallery appeaaialas if,
to them, the whole aday, but espeolally tke trial
'scene, the domestic tragedy in the condemned cell,
the detection of the true culprit, and the happy
denouement, were real ciroumstances, passing be
fore their eyes. They audibly expressad their feel
ings, from time to time, as these cireumstanoes
wore developed—and surely, this is the best prOof
that the play was effectively performed.
