Foiled in their purpose to smother the voice of the people by acts of tyranny such as never were heard of even under the most despotic gov- j crnments, tho Abolitionists have resorted to their , old and favorite means of acquiring and hold ing power, fraud at the ballot-box. They had more than suspected that tho voters of Penn sylvania would turn them out from the positions they have dishonored, and, hence, had quietly prepared, in advance, a schema by which they ; fondly hoped to thwart the irresistible will of tho m:tsscs. Whilst the Democrats and other Constitution-loving and law-abiding citizens were quietly attending to the canvnss at home, these reeklcss political gamblers were busily en gaged in sending tickets, election-papers and in structions to their hangers-on, their sutlers, pay masters and camp followers, in the army, in or der secretly to obtain their vote among the sol diers. And, now, a few scattering ballots hav ing',been cast by the military, ia accordance with their programme, theso votes arc paraded in 1 their newspapors as a test in regard to the po- 1 Jitical composition of the army, and where the ' legal vote has been close for Congress and the State Legislature, it is threatened that the votes , polled at this unauthorized, unconstitutional nnd ' fraudulent military election, are to he counted for the purpose of reverting the decision of the people. As to the capital which the forlorn and , miserable Abolition press is trying to make of this ex parte military vote, wo say let them make the most of it. Every intelligent man will at once detect tho flirasiness of the article. We need but ask these gentlemen, was there any no tice given by any person, authorized or unau thorized, one week prior to the election, that an army voto was to bo taken ? Did Gov. Curtin issue a proclamation, as he did last year, to the soldiers, notifying them concerning the holding of an election? Were there any printed tickets or election papers, or instructions how to vote, sent to the army by the representatives of any other party than the Abolitionists? All these questions must be answered in the negative.— Hence it is plain that the Democrats could not and did not voto. True, a few of them wrote their own tickets and voted, but tho great mass of tho Democratic soldiers, knowing that they were constitutionally debarred, for the time be ing, from exercising the elective franchise, pre ferred to abide by the laws and to respect the deeision of the Supreme Court of their State, and therefore refrained from participating in the force enacted by the Abolitionists. And, again, we might nsk. how many votes did the Aboli tionists poll in the army? Not more than Jive thousand altogether, and wo doubt if the num ber is so great as even that 1 Now, Pennsylva nia has about one hundred and Jifty thousand sol diers in the field, and yet, the Abolitionists, af ter all their efforts, can extract but sonic five thousand votes out of this immense nrmy! Pray, to what party belong the remainder of the vo- ' ters in this grand body of soldiers? Ah, there's ' the rub! They are Democrats, and whnt a ma jority the Democratic State Ticket would have bod, if theae men had votedj Instead of four thousand, it would hare had at least fifty thou sand 1 Concerning the attempt on the pnrt of the Abolitionists to force a count of this military vote In dose Legislative and Congressional dis tpeii, we reiterate what we said on a former oc casion, that their efforts in thia direction will ba rufeted to the last extremity. Wo again put our warning to theae scoundrels that if they arc determined to defeat by Fraud the legally expressed will of the people, there trill be revolution. Tin sovereign people of Pennsyl vania have resolved that if the Constitution and the laws are not or cannot be enforced by the properly constituted authorities, they themselves will enforce them and punish the traitors and outlaws. Long enough have freemen calmly suffered themselves to be made the victims of fraud and trickery. Long enough has the cor ruption of dishonest legislators held sway in the public councils. The ballot-box must be main tained inviolate, the halls of legislation must be purified; and wo to the men who dare to prac tice fraud upon tho one or who misrepresent their constituents in tho other. Fairness and lawfulness in elections, and fidelity to public trust on the part of legislators, are two points in the economy of politics which must and will be re-established. The people have made up their minds in regard to these things, and if they cannot have them peacefully, they will have them as their fathers once obtained them, when they marched to Harrisburg in the liuckshot War. Beautiful Consistency. IV e find the following delightful morceau in a late number of the Delaware Republican: A SECESH ORGAN SILENCED.—A correspon dent from this coui.ty, now in the Anderson Troop, stationed at Carlisle, states that, on Sat urday hlglit last, two hundred of the men at tached to his corps, in company with a number ot the citizens of the place, made short, woik of the "Ame/ican Volunteer ," a Breckenridge cop per-head concern, printed in that town. The paper, on the day previous, published a most treasonable article, which so incensed the peo ple, that they resolved that it should no longer be issued in their midst. They repaired to the office ia a body, destroyed the press, and threw the type out of the windows. This summary way of treating secession ought to have a salu tary effect upon traitors everywhere. V\ e are astounded that any intelligent editor (which we know our friend Walter to be) should be so obtuse in his conceptions of right and jus tice, as to suffer an article like the above to ap pear in his paper. Mr. Walter's heart, wc arc convinced, docs not respond in one single pulsa tion, to the sentiment expressed in this editorial. We know him to be so filled with tho "milk of human kindness," that his pity cannot find ob jects of sympathy in his own state and section, but stretches out afar, even unto the slave-trod den fields of tho South, in its humane search af ter something upon which it may bo worthily lavished. This enlarged humanity is brought out in its true colors, in an editorial in the col umn next to that in which is printed the article copied above. In this Inst tho humanitarian editor comments on the recent arrest of Rev. C. A. Hay, of Ilarrisburg, byorderof Gen.Wool, and says; e protest, in the name of the people a gainst such arbitrary proceedings on the part of the military. If they arc permitted, no man is safe in civil life." lhere! that's tho spirit of "a man nnd a brother," and a free man, too! AVe think the first article was written in a Pickwickian sense, or else, perhaps, it was prompted by the fact that the Carlisle Voluntccr is a Democratic pa per. The manly indignation expressed in the other nrtiule in regard to the arrest of Dr. Hay, may, too, have been excited on account of the reverend victim being an Abolitionist. At any rate, it is one thing with the editor of tho Re publican, to "gut" a Democratic printing office, and quite another to arrest an Abolition preacher. of our Abolition exchanges talk most glibly about the probability of the Governor is suing certificates of election to certain defeated Abolition candidates for Congress, on the ground that the army vote would elect thong. Gov. Curtin knows better than to do this. It is not his province to decide who is elected, or to give certificates of election. The return judges of the several districts give certificates to the per sons elected. The Governor merely nnnounccst in accordance with the count made by such re turn judges, who are thus elected. So, you per ceive, Messrs. Abolitionists, your certificate op eration will not pay. 43"Some scamp, who has not the fear of fire ami brimstone before his eyes, is in the habit of purloining from our table some of our most val uable exchanges. If wo find him out we prom :so him that he shall no longer remain in igno rance of the first principles of common honesty. 43-llorsc thieves abound in this neighborhood at present.

The election of Mr. Coffroth in the XVlth district was one of the most signal and gratify ing victories won on tho 14th of October by irrepressible Democracy. Tho State had been foully gerrymandered by tho AlKilition majority of the last Legislature, and Mr. Coffroth's dis trict wns one that was carved out for tho espe cial benefit of Mr. McPherson and his friends, who never dreamed of defeat until it was upon them- Mr. McPherson, an avowed Abolition ist, was one of the most able, affable, and re-* ' sportable of their delegation in Congress, and tliey relied with confidence upon his largo fam- , ily connection, his personal popularity, and ü bovo all, upon the supposed large party prepon derance in the district for his election, llut thanks to the indomitable Democracy, all those* supposed formidable barriers were beaten down* and Mr. Coffroth, an able and reliable Demo crat, will represent the XVLth distfict in the next Congress.— Patriot 5,000,000. The aggregate in debtedness of the Department, consequently' will foot up as follows: Debt contracted prior to July, 1801, $118,000,030' Bonds bearing 7 , 3 y per cent. interest, 132,000,000 Bonds bearing G per cent inter est,, pay hie in 1881.. 50,000,009 Certificates of indebtedness. 06,000,000 Deposits with the Sub-Trea sury, and payable on call. 65,000,000 Treasury notes, new issue. 180,093,000 Custom House notes, 2 4,000,000 The Five-twenty year bonds. 18,571, 100 Total indebtedness- $ 153,571,103 Tho statement, we believe, is approximately correct, taking the figures as they st;>.> I on the 22 1 instant, an I making liabilities of Govern ment considerably less than the current esti mates. It should relieve all apprehension as to any embarrassment to be caused by our public debt. The interest on the total amount at six per cent is only §39.21 4,266. But only $ 1 49- 571,10 ) draw interest, reducing the charge nit on tho Treasury from this quarter to 53-16,9 i I -26 5. To inset this charge wo have the revenue from customs, which will probably equal S6O - the present year, and the revenues from the extraordinary sources recently provided. These sources were designed to realize fully $200,060,000 annually. We . learned that so far they promise to prove productive far beyond the estimate. There can be no doubt of their realizing an immense sum, ami forming a secure basis, not only for the payment of interest ac erning on the public debt, but for its rapid ex tinguishment, upon the close of the war. The abundance of money demonstrates the ability of Government to borrow to any required a lnount. As previously argued by us, the nation finds no difficulty in sustaining the burdens of the war, as it possesses in abundance whatever is necessary for its prosecution—men, food, and materials and munitions of all kinds. So long as the people will dispose of those for the obli gations of Government, no financial embarrass ment need be feared. In the present financial condition of the na tion, consequently, all is well. The people have not lost a jot of their confidence, notwithstand ing the failures in the military operations of the Government, They feel that want of success has been due to incompetency in those who have directed affairs, not to any weakness of the cause, or in the means of its maintenance and support. Confidence is unabated that the right men in tiio right place will at last appear. More '.'nan a year ago it was felt on all hands that military successes were essential to the ne gotiation of loans. They have not come in the degree predicted or expected; yet it would be far easier for the Government to borrow to-day than it was a year ago. We refer to this to show that it is always unsafe to underestimate the fiuqpcial strength of the people. On the contrary, the war will demonstrate a strength on the part of the nation far transcend ing, whatever was claimed for it by its most ar dent advocates. The natural resources of this country are so vast, that no limit can he place 1 upon its productiveness under the stimulus of a great necessity, or demand, especially so long as the war is not waged upon Northern soil. With onr financial strength unabated, all other things will come in due time. The experience, under similar circumstances, of all nations ad dicted to peace, has been similar to our own. But the work of preparation is going on, while military talent is being developed, so that we are really making vastly greater progress than is generally supposed. In the meantime, we arc consolidating our political unity, gaining in confidence and in exparionco, which cannot fail in the end, to conduct to complete success. Price of Newspapers. It has already, or must soon, become a mat ter of necessity with newspaper publishers to raise tho, price of subscription and advertising. Tho reasons are fully stated in the following from the Jitllimore Sun: "Printing materials of all kinds have very materially advanced since the commencement of tho war. On some articles of prime necessity to the printer, the advance is fully equal to thirty per cent. In addition to this the govern ment taxes them three per cent on the paper tbay use, three per cent, upon their advertise ments, and three per cent, upon their income, if i they tire fortunate enough to have nny. fit I view of these facts we notice that some of our Northern contemporaries are about to raise tlio price of their issues. The Brockport (N. Y.) Republic of a late date says: '• 'Most of thc.larae daily papers in western New York have advanced ilie price of their is-> sues. of a leading New York daily informed us last week that the publishers ill that city would soon follow suit. Manv of the coun try journals are also published at increased pri ces. The advance is caused mainly by the ad vance in printing stock."' President Lincoln's Black Colony. ©•THE colony of NEGROES that Presi lent Lin coln is about to establish somewhere outsi le of the United States at the people's expense, is likely to prove a costly affair under the super intendence lie Ims selected. He has confined the experiment to the hands of Senator Poincroy, of Kansas, and It W. Thompson, of In liana —men in whose wisdom the people generally have little confidence, and in whose honesty they have none. The Albany Evening Journal, a Re publican paper under the control of Thurlow Weed, a warm personal and political friend of the Presi lent, seems to regard the scheme with something more than suspicion, and sounds the alarm in very ambiguous language. The Jour nal says: "This swindle is proceeding under the auspi ces of R.W.Thompson, of Indiana, and Senator Pomeroy, of Kansas. It behooves President Lincoln, of whose integrity there is no ques tion, to look well into this scheme before com mitting himself to it. There is nothing but dis honesty in the scheme, any way; but if coloniza tion should become expedient, this surely is not the time to go into it. The government has quite enough upon its hands. Mr. Thompson's connection with the project is enough to stamp its character and purpose." The Presi lent having, himself, inaugurated this "dishonest scheme," will probably not pay much attention to the advice of bis friend Weed; indeed, we do not see how he can, having once pledged himself to it: so that it is mora than likely Messrs. Pomeroy and Thompson will make a goo.l thing out of it, whether the ne groes do or not.

The subjoined extracts from Richmond pa pers of the 25th inst., we copy from one of our exchanges: The Battle near Charleston. The Richmond Dispatch has the following: CiiAiii.rcsrox, October 29. —A greater number of vessels than usual have been blockading the harbor. Four gunboats are in Stono Inlet. The steamer Mingo, which got aground some days ago off Sullivan's Island, will probably prove a wreck. Most of her cargo has been saved. No news from l'ocotaligo, except partial ac counts of the casualties of the battle of yester day. All is now quiet. SF.COND DISPATCH. CHARLESTON, October 24. —The fight at L'o cotidigo resulted in a complete victory for us.— Our loss was fifteen killed and torty wounded. The enemy left forty of their dead on the field. His total loss, as confirmed by the accounts of prisoners, is not less than two hundred killed and wounded. We took eighty small arms.— The enemy's force consisted of six regiments, with one field battery and two boat howitzers. LATER FROM j>ORT ROYAL. The Union Attack on the Charleston and Savannah Rail Road. DESTRUCTION OF THF. BR.DUF, BY THE REBELS. NEW YORK, Oct. 29. —The steamer Erricson, from Fort Royal, brings the following intelli gence of recent operations in the vicinity of Charleston and Savannah. Our forces under Gen. Brannan and Ferry, the former iu command, lan led at Muck"}' , Point, marched seven miles before meeting the enemy. They drove them from their position in the woods, ulid followed them up again, nnd again drove them from their position two iniles beyond. After a hot fight here they were pur sued to l'ocotaligo Bridge, which the rebels de stroyed behind them. Further progress being impossible our forces retreated to the gunboats. The light lasted five hours. Gen. Brannan thinks the enemy's force equalled ours, and their artillery was four or five pieces more. Our loss was 15 kilted, 106 wounded and 2 missing. While these events were in progress, Col. Bar ton, of the4Bth New York Regiment, with 359 men, went up the Coosawatehia river an.d ac tually comnvncod destroying tho Railroad, hut were unable to reach the bridge before a train filled with troops arrived from Savannah. The telegraph wire was also cut, nnd a successful retreat was made to the boats, only one man be ing wounded. The rebels left 15 or 20 dead on the field. In the former fight, two rai-sons full of am munition were captured and used by our forces. The loss to the Union troops is larger than above stated, the figures given being only the loss of Gen. Ferry's brigade- Gen. Brannon's com mand lost 78 k iiLed, 123 wounded and 3 missing. Camp nkap Fout Scott, Vn.

You can sec thnt we havp chang ed our place of encampment again. We had barely recovered from the fatigue attending qur rcconnoisanco down into Virginia—of which you have had art account already—when Wo were ordered to move our camp, as usual, not knowing whither we were going. But after leaving our camp and reaching the pike that leads through Alexandria to CentreVHle, and out that way, we found the head of the column turned towards the Potomac, and on arriving v at our place for camping, wo found ourselves on the bunk of the river opposite Washington. It is on a point of land that extends a short dis tance in the river. In front of lis the Eastern Brunch (as it is called) of the Potomac empties into the main channel, and (lie river at this point is perhaps upwards of two miles wide. The camp is in a healthy and pleasant location, tho breeze from the river is quite cool in the even ing, and begins to remind us of overcoats and warm clothing. The view from here down the river is mag nificent. We can see nlrnost to Alexandria. We can sec the shipping there on the river, and the distance is about six miles. This day has been rainy and disagreeable, but the boys are iff fine spirits, despite tlie bad weather. We had hardly got fairly established here when we got orders to start on another c.\|)cdition, to recon noitre along the Rappahannock river and Cul pepper railroad. We started last Mondny night with two days' rations, and proceeded down to the river and to Rappahannock station, on tho Culpepper railroad. Here we found the rail road bridge burned, and a large force of rebels. They hud re-constructed the bridge, temporarily, and ran the locomotives across that were left there and then re-burned the bridge. I believe they run their cars to that station. They have a largo force at Culpepper Court House, an oc casional scouting party conies as far as Warren-- ton. From Rappahannock station we went down through liristow station and Manosses junction, and home through Centreville, We landed here Friday, (10th) about noon, thor oughly tired and worn out. Our march was a hard one, day and night. Our force consisted ot the Ist and 2d Pennsylvania regiments, sth and 10th New York, Ist Michigan, Ist New Jersey, Ist Virginia and Ist Vermont, all caval ry, and Bratnhall's Ctli New York, independent battery of six guns. I did not iearn the name of our commander. Col. Price, acting Briga dier General of Buford's brigade—the one wo are attached to—accompanied us. lie is an ac complished military tactician and a brave officer. To-day two men of our company, from your county, returned to camp. Iking long absent their return was welcomed with-a hearty shake of bands. There are more that we would be glad to see in the ranks. I suppose our stay lure will not be of long duration, as it appears to be against the laws of war to rest any length, ol time. The boys from your county are well,, except one or two. The health of the regiment, is good, and all are in fine spirits. v I must close for this time.
