DEMOCRATIC MEETINGS.
Great Crowds and Greater Enthusiasm.
The Democratic Fires Burn Brightly I

our last report, at Schellsburg, Cheneysvi He,
St. Clairsville, Hartley's School House, Ray's
Hill, Fletcher's Store, Palo Alto, Buena Vista,
V■ B. Wcrtz's and Centrevillo. The attendance
at these meetings was largo and the utmost en
thusiasm prevailed among those present.
The meeting at Schellsburg, was presided over
by John Smith, Esq., assisted by a number of
Vice Presidents and Secretaries, a list of which
we would gladly publish if we had it at hand.
Addresses were delivered by John Palmer and
B. F. Meyers.
At Choncysville, Michael Mills acted as Pres
ident, David Roland and John Harkm.m, OT j
Vice Presidents, and David Fetter as Secretary. '

made by John Palmer, John Cessna and J. \V.
Dickcrson.
Other large meetings wero held in different
parts of the county, for an nccount of which
we are sorry we have not space this week.
The Line is Drawn!
Remember that every man on the Democrat
ic ticket is opposed to the Abolition proclamation
of President Lincoln, whilst every man on the
Administration ticket is committed in favor of
it, until he comes out and publicly repudiates
it. MCPHERSON IS IN FAVOR OF LIN
COLN'S ABOLITION PROCLAMATION
and he dares not to deny it! The line is drawn!
"V ou must either vote the Democratic ticket, or
vote to endorse thefrecing of the Niggers! You
must either be an Abolitionist or a Democrat!
Which will you do and which will you be!
A Pink of Fairness.
Ihe neighbors of Andrew Crisman forward
ed to the editor of the Abolition organ for pub
lication a statement concerning the alleged meet
ing, in which Mr. Crisman was represented as
having taken part, in which they completely ex
onerated Mr. Crisman of the blame cast upon
him (Crisman) hy that sheet. But contrary to
every dictate, of fairness and honor, they are re
fused admission into its columns. The game of
the Abolition organ played against Mr. Crisman,
is a foul one, and, therefore, it must, perforce,
keep Us readers in the dark. It dares not pub
lish the vindication of Mr. Cri-mon by his neigh
bora- Fairness, thou art a jewel!
Our friends, Col. John 1 Infer and J. W.
Beeler, Esq. returned on Saturday last, from a
visit to the battle-field of Antietam. They re
port the scene presented by that ill-fhta 1 spot,
as indescribably desolate and horrible. On one
farm alone over 8000 dead bodies ure interred.
Not a fence is to bo, seen for many miles. Hou
ses arc riddled, barns in ashes, forests leveled
and ruin and sadness everywhere. Even in
the streets f Sharpsburg, the carcasses of dead
horses were still lying pilod one upon another.
tSJ-The third sermon in the series of discour
ses, now being delivered by Rev. Mr. Kepler,
from Philippines, 2 ch., h-11 vs., it has been
nnnounced, will be preached in the M. E.
Church, next Sabbath morning, at 10J o'clock.
tJ"A great battle has been fought between
the U. S. forces under Gen. Rosccrans and the
rebels under Price and Van Dorn, at Corinth,
which is claimed as a Federal victory.
SSJ"The Carlisle Presbytery met in this place
on Tuesday evening last. This hotly is compos
ed of some of the ablest ecclesiastics i n the U
nion. A number of eloquent and powerful ser
mons have been preached by several of the min
isters in attendance.
ifirMr. Snavel, of N. Y., whilst a prisoner
in Fort Lafayette, was asked to take the follow
ing oath in order to procure his release:
"You do further swear that you will never,
by writing or public speaking, throw any ob
stacle in the way of whatever measures this Ad
ministration may see fit to adopt."
BARGAIN AND SALE.
In order to obtain the support of Somerset
county, Mr. MePherson was compelled to give
the appointment of Collector of the Federal tax
to Edward Scull, who was presented by that
county for Congress. Bv this means MePherson
succeeded in defeating Hon. Alex. King and se
curing his own nomination.
A CONTRAST.
The Democratic candidates for Congress and
Senator have not gone away from their own
homes to electioneer and importune the people
for votes. Sir. MePherson, on the other hand,
has traveled over the whole length and breadth
of the district and made electioneering speeches
in almost every town and township. Which is
the more praiseworthy?
HOW IT CAN BE DONE.
The feeling among all parties in this coun
ty, is decidedly in opposition to the Aboli
tion proclamation of the President. We
have been asked how an expression of opin
ion concerning this proclamation can be ob
tained, so as to bring a remonstrance before
the eyes of the President, and, if possible,
bring such an influence to bear upon him as
would induce him to recall it. We doubt
not that the election of a majority of De.m- 1
ocratic Congressmen in this State, would
have this effect. Therefore, let every man j
who opposes the proclamation of the Pres- I
ident to free the slaves, make the Congress- <
man the issue, and vote accordingly.
THE TAX AND THE DRAFT.
The Abolitionists tell us that thi3 is "no
time for party, anil yet they are sacrificing
lht Ixsot, irrtcrcoto vf the COUTItrV TO TtlO 11C
cessities of their party. The Federal Ad
ministration, two months and a half ago,
ordered a draft to be made for militia to sus
tain the Government and put down the re
bellion. This draft, the Administration told
us, was positively necessary to save the
country. And yet, for fear that the Aboli
tion party would lose votes by it, this draft
so necessary to the future existence of the
nation, has been postponed until just two
days after the election. The same policy
has been pursued in regard to the assess
ment and collection of the direct tax. But
remember that the draft will conic and the
tax will be collected after the election.
Turn Out!
Let every Democrat and every conserva
tive voter turn out to the election on Tues
day next. Let not one vote remain unpoll
ed. Democrats, now is the time to strike
for your country! A new Congress .is to be
chosen, and a now state of things to be in
augurated at Washington. Turn out in your
strength and work with all your energies
for the success of the ticket. Vote carlv,
and then see that your neighbors go to the
election and vote.
jßeware of Tricks!
The enemies of the Democracy and of
the freedom and happiness of the white man,
will, as usual, circulate all kinds of rumors
against, the conservative Democratic candi
dates before the people. Beware of these
tricks of the opposition!
Gen. Coffroth.
Wc have the most gratifying intelligence
from other portions of the district concern
ing the prospects for the election of our
nominee for Congress, Gen. Coflroth. Not
withstanding the malignant attacks made
upon him by his enemies (for every positive
man must have enemies) wc know that his
personal popularity throughout the district,
will gain him many votes. He has not can
vassed among the people, because he relics
for success upon the good sense of the mas
ses, who know the principles he represents;
nor docs lie think it proper to go about the
country, denouncing men who do not believe
in his political doctrines, (as does his com
petitor) but prefers to let the people render
their verdict according to the dictates of
principle rather than of prejudice and pas-
sion. Let the, conservative clement rally
around him and his'elect ion G certain.
Judge •lYobte.
We ask the people of all parties who
know Judge Noble personally to do him no
more than justice when they come to make
up their minds as to voting for or against
him. Is there a candid, fair-minded man
who is acquainted with Judge Noble, that
can refuse to take into consideration the un
impeachable integrity and sterling worth of
this excellent man, when he comes to make
up his ballot'? Is not Judge Noble the very
man needed in the State Senate to counter
act the corruptions and frauds of the Mc-
Clures, and the pimps of Cameron? "Hon
esty is the best policy," for States as well
as for individuals, and Joseph B. Noble's
life is an exemplification of the proverb.
Poor Director.
The Abolitionists want to get control of
the Poor House; for what purpose wo do
not know, unless to make it a lodging-place
for their sable friends when they come North
under the President's proclamation. Shall
the Poor House be made a station 011 the
"underground railroad?"
The Secret!
We have been led to wonder why the
Abolitionists pursue. Andrew Crisnian with
such blood-hound ferocity, and don't attack
other members of the Democratic ticket. A
friend has suggested this as the reason of
their violence against Mr. Crisnian, viz:
Some of them have subscribed large sums
to the volunteer bounty and want a good
natured, easy fellow, like Mr. Finkghn the
Commissioners' office, whom they can con
trol so as to get him to vote for the assump
tion by the county of their own indebted
ness to the volunteers. We have no doubt
that this is the correct reason for their ma
lignity toward Andy.
Especially is Congress responsible for the
debt brought upon the people of the North.
Our own member, McPhorson, voted for the
measures that have brought this awful ca
lamity upon the country. It is he, there- j
tore, that must be held responsible by the ,
people. Down with these corrupt Congress- 1
men and up with the standard of reform! I
Head and Ponder!
j The following correspondence has passed
; between Gen. Tuttle and Secretary Stanton:
CAIRO, Sept. 1!).
J To Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War:
i Gen. Grant is sending here large lots of ne
\ gro women and children, mul neiv 4
; you what to do with them. Parties in Chicago
and other cities wish them for servants. Will I
be allowed to turn them over to responsible com
mittees, to bo so employed? If so, can I trans
port them at government expanse ?
J. M. Ti'rrt.n,
Brig. Gen. Com. Dis. of Cairo.
t ——■ ——
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.
Brigadier Gen. Tuttle:
You aro authorized to turn over to responsi
ble committees negro women and children, who
will take them in charge and provide them with
employment and support in the Northern States,
and you may furnish transportation at govern
ment expense. E. M. STANTON,
Sec'ry. of War.
The black swarms arc coming! The Ad
ministration furnishes them with "transpor
tation at the government expense!" And
Edward McPhcrson asks you, farmers, mer
chants, and mechanics, to send him back to
Congress to vote more money out of your
i pockets to pay for shipping these negroes
into the North !
McPherson's Record.
When the Crittenden Compromise and
other measures intended for the pacification
of the country, prior to the breaking out of
the war, were before Congress, Edward Mc-
Pherson VOTED AGAINST THEIR
ADOPTION, and thus assisted in forcing
upon the people the bloodv issue of CIVIL
WAR.
W hen the Committee raised by Congress
to investigate the fraud and corruption in
Government contracts, was about discharg
ing its duty, McPhcrson voted and labored
to hamper the operations of the committee,
and did till in his power to screen the scoun
drels who were engaged in defrauding the
people, the soldiery and the Government
with the most gigantic and monstrous swin
dles.
When the Cameron investigating com
mit tee made its report and when a vote of
censure upon that arch-corruptionisf, was
recommended by that committee, McPhcr
son voted to sustain and endorse Cameron
in his flagrant maladministration of the af
fairs of his office.
When the bill to abolish slavery in the
District of Columbia, was before Congress,
McPhcrson joined hands with Thaddcus
Stevens, Bcnj. F. Wade and the balance of
the Abolition crew, and helped to pass that
bill, giving his voice and his vote for it in
every stage of its passage, thus compelling
the people of the North to pay three hun
dred dollars per head for every slave within
the limits of that District, and entailing a!
debt upon the country whiob will press heav-'
ily upon its resources for years to ronie.
When the Confiscation Bill, against which
Senator Cowan, from Pennsylvania, and
Browning from Illinois, (both good
Republicans) voted and protested, and which
Mr. Lincoln himself refused to sign as it
had originally passed, was introduced into
Congress, McPherson gave it his support,
and voted for it 011 its final passage.
When the present odious Tax Bill, which
revives the Stamp Act of George 111, a
gainst which our revolutionary fathers were
up in ayrns, was brought before Congress,
; McPherson gave his energies and his vote
J to its passage, thus advocating the enact
ment of a law which compels you to pay
exorbitant tribute to the Government before
you can make an article of agreement to sell
your farm, or rent a house, or give or take
a promissory note, or do the smallest mat
-1 ter of business in which any legal instru
ment is necessary.
When the Crittenden resolution, avowing
the purposes of the war to be "only the res
toration of the Union and the vindication of
the Constitution," were a second time be
fore Congress, McPherson was found, side
by side with Thaddeus Stevens and Owen
Lovejoy, voting to lay them on the table.
When the brave and heroic McClellan
was threatened by the Abolition cabal and
harassed and hunted down by Northern con
spirators against the prosperity of the Gov
ernment, McPherson was found sympathis
ing in his votes and official acts with Chan
dler and other leaders of that infamous clique,
that were pursuing McClellan whilst he was
fighting the enemies of his country.
And, now, when the President, by" one
sweep of his pen, undertakes to cancel the
Constitution and hurl upon the people of tire
North, three millions of houseless, home-1
less, thriftless, ignorant negroes, and even
indirectly invokes them to cut their masters
throats to achieve this purpose, McPherson
! 13 the representative of this Presidential
1 proclamation and every niau who supports
him at the polls, votes to endorse a policy
which will make the North a desolated waste
and the South a second San Domingo.
The foregoing furnishes an abundance of
reasons why I cannot vote for Mr. McPher
son. Personally Ido not object to him,
and were lie still a Republican, as he once
was, and not an Abolitionist, as he now con
fessedly is, lie should still receive my sup
port. But he has gone astray, has deceiv
ed the men who elected him, has helped by
his votes and influence to bring defeat to
our armies ami ruin and disgrace to our coun
try, and therefore he cannot receive the vote
of a
TRUE REPUBLICAN.
Bedford, October 7, 18(52.
63-Capt. 11. C. lleamer, with a portion of
the Bedford Cavalry Co., left a few days since
for Harrisburg. We understand that lie arrived
safely at Camp C urtin on Saturday morning.
They immediately set to work to pitch their
tents, and in a few hours had drawn their cloth*
ing, blankets, rations, &c., and were fixed com
fortably, and exhibited excellent spirits.
Another portion of the company will leave
for camp in a few days. A few more good men
are wanted for this company.
We can safely say to all persons who desire
to enter the service, that they cannot do better
than to join this company. The captain and
men are all good, brave and kind men.
Boarding and transportation will bo furnish
ed at once, on application to Capt. Reamer's

C'AMi'iOlst, ftegt, I*. V., j
Near Suffolk, VU., Sept. 29, 1802. J
Dear MotiiEr: —This is the first chance I
have had for some days to write you a letter of
any length. We retreated from Harrison's Lan
ding on the 14th of August taking the river
road to Williamsburg, we reached the Chicka
hominy about 11 o'clock next day, crossed the
river on the Pontoon Bridge, and encamped a
bout five pules this side. The next morning
August 15, we took up our line of march again,
for Williamsburg, which place we reached the
second time about 11 o'clock. We did not stop
here, but on we marched scarce resting long e
nough to have a breathing-spell, from the fa
tigues and savage fights of this Peninsula, for
wc heard our dear old Keystone was in danger,
and did not know but that we would be next
needed at home. In our march up the Penin
sula Inst spring, we passed through Williams
burg, with bayonets glistening in the sun like
burnished silver. The stars and stripes stream
ing against, the wind, the uirull alive with mar
tint music. All was hope for we had just got
through with the battle of that town, dense
| was the smoke and more woeful still the carnage.
But, on, on, we were marched, with the roar of
thunder and the sweeps of lightning; on, breath
ing death before us, until the fight was ours,
the day was won. We thought then we would
soon have possession of Hiehmond. How dif
ferent it is now. We marched through that
town at quick time, never looking to the right
Icr tiie left. The Secesh of Williamsburg cer
tainly had the laugh on 11s, and I suppose, pas
sed, now and then, a joke at our expense. I
hope there will he a change soon, that will turn
the joke the other way. 5-omo of the boys said
that they were told in the town, coming
through, that they were on the wrong road to
Hiehmond, that the road run the other way,
pointing over their left shoulder. We passed
Fort Magruder, and the battle field, where a
great mmy of our brave boys had been left,
on oar m ircli up the Peninsula, and went into
Camp about 4 miles this side of the town.
1 The battlefield appcanl to me like a dream. It
j has since been burno 1 off, and growed up with
I tall grass. All those brave hoys sacrificed their
lives to no purpose. We have accomplished
J nothing in the campaign of the Peninsula as I
I can see. After lying over one day and night in
order to let the balance of the troops by and
cover the rear, we took up our line of march
and reached York Town about noon; passed
through over the ground, on which Lord Corn- I
w iliac 'Burr ndered his sword up to Gen. Geo. !
Washington, and encamped two miles beyond. I
After lying here two or three days we marched j
to Fortress Monroe, where wo lay for about
two weeks, doing guard duty around the Fort. 1
We all thought we were going to be stationed !
at that point to do guard duty in the Fort. 1
Our expectation was blighted. For in one |
hour from the time we received marching orders, !
we were 011 hoard a large boat crossing the Bay |
to Norfolk, hound for Suffolk, as that town was ]
in danger of an attack. Norfolk is quite, if j
not altogether, a large city. I had not uinch j
time in it, only walking from the boat to the j
cars, Tor they shovetl us through fast. But '
what I saw was enough to show that it had
once been quite a business place.
We reached Suffolk, and found it in a state !
of alarm, for the troops that were here, rejoiced i
to sec us come to reinforce them. There is re- '
ported to be quite an army at Black Water, j
some twenty miles above this place. The Black !
Water river runs into the Nansamon l before it j
empties into the Bay.
A\ o are fortifying this place very strongly, we
expect an attack every night.
Suffolk is a pretty little town arid has the
advantage of two Rail Roads and the Nansc
mond river. The Nunsoinond is a very narrow
river, hut is very deep. We have a small gun
boat lying in it, that commands the town.
There arc plenty of pretty girls here, but Se
eesh. To describe tliem I would have to use
the language of a novelist. Their complexions
are a brilliant blcpding of pearls and roses.
Their lips are just the tint of cherries, and their
smiles enchanting. They have beautiful black
liair hanging in profuse clusters around their al
abaster necks, and their arc a rich dark
hazel. Their dress is very elegant and taste
ful, with their little jockey hats.
Nothing more, this time. I expect to see you,
that is if r get out of the war alive. If not,
what matter I

MK. EniTOJi;—
Having hound myself in the service of
the U. 8., and having to go wherever I am
called, and,-therefore, not getting much news
from home, desire to subscribe for your noble
sheet (the Gazette,) for this purpose. As I see
some of my fellow soldiers have been circula
ting their eloquence through that stinking con
cern (tho Inquirer, ) I feel disposed to give you
a few words for publication also. After leaving
Bloody Run, on the 2<ith of August, 18fi2, we
were everywhere greeted 1 >3- cheers, the waving
of handkerchiefs and colors, until wo landed at
Camp Simmons, near Harrisburg, where wear
rived the next day at two o'clock, A. M., and
struck our tents, drew rations and dined tor the
first time after leaving Hopewell, where we took
supper at 7 o'clock, I'. M., the evening previous.
After remaining in camp until the next day,
we were sworn into the service of the U. S.
for throe years or during the war. The day
following we received oar arms, dross coats,
pants, shoes, socks and caps, when we were or
dered off in such haste that'we did not get time
to change clothes. We took onr seats on the
B. & (J. R. It. and landed at Baltimore about
12 o clock at night, whore wo took supper and
were shipped nine miles below Baltimore, to the
Relay house. Then we were inarched inile
from the station and encamped.
After remaining there about one week, we
were marched hack near tho Relay house and
encamped on somewhat of a knoll near Fort
Dix, where we now remain. The country here
is in a had condition. No prospect of any crops :
next season, no appearance of any this last, ex- j
cepting corn—plenty of thaf.
Our visitors say that our (138 th IJegt. P.V., ;
Commanded by Col. Somwalt in G 11 Wool's

Account of the Killing of Gen. Nelson at
Louisville.
LOUISVILLE, Sept. 20.—Thoro arc many con
flicting accounts of the shotingof Gen. Nelson .by
Gen. J. C.Davis.—About a week ago Gen. Nelsoii
placed Gen. Davis in command of the Homo
Guard forces of the city. At night Gen. Da
vis reported to Gen. Nelson the number of men
Working on the entrenchments and enrolled for
service. Gen. Nelson cursed him for not hav
ing more. Gen. Davis feplled that he was gen
eral officer and demanded tlid ti'eathient of a
gentleman. General Nelson lit rid Ihshlting
manner ordered him to rVport lit Cincinnati
and told him he would order the Provost Mar
shal to eject him from the city.
This mornig Gov. Morton and Gen. Nelson
were standing near the desk in the Gait House.
Gun. Davis approached and requested Gov.
Morton to witness the conversation
himself and Nelson. He demanded of Nelson
an apology. Nelson slapped him on the fact:
Davis stepped back and clenched his (Ist,- and
again demanded an npologyi Nelson shipped
him in the face again, and denounced him as a
coward. Davis turned away and procured a
pistol from a friend and followed Nelson, who
was going up stairs. Davis told Nelson to de
fend himself, immediately tiring. The ball pen-'
ctrated the lett breast. Nelson died in about
twenty minutes.
Nelson after he was shot, requested to see his
old friend, the He v. Mr. Talbot, Rector of tbo
Calvary Episcopal Church, who was there at
the Gait House. The Rev. Mr. Talbot admin
istered the sacrament according to the forms of
his Church. The General repeated the service
after the Minister and refused to talk on any
other subject. He regretted that he had not
long ago turned his attention to religion.
