Shameful Injustice.
The Abolition newspapers, not content with
the exile of Mr. Vallandigbam, for opinion's
sake, nor yet with defrauding him and his
friends at the polls, are seeking to destroy his
fair fame by circulating all kinds of infamous
stories concerning that gentleman's "loyalty,"
prominent among which is that known as the
"Inshall Letter," in which Mr. Vnllandigham is
made to encourage a rebel Colonel named Inshall
in bis hostility to the U. S. Government. Mr.
Vnllandigham has written n letter to Col. Me
dary, at Columbus, (OA in which he speaks of
this matter as follows:
"I never saw, never wrote a line of it, nor
did I ever write a lino on politics or the war to
any one while in the South. Neither did lever
see or hear from such a man as "Colonel D. D.
Inshall."
The Bedford Inquirer , having published this
"Inshall" forgery, is now called upon by every ]
pryjiciple of honor and justice to publish Mr.'
Vallandigham'B contradiction. Will it make!
this amend for its vile participation in this
shameful net of injustice to a wronged und per
secuted American citUcnf
REJOICING INPmt.ADELNNA AND NEW YOKE.
—The report brought to Philadelphia on Sat
urday that Fort Sumter had been taken was so
firmly believed that all the flags on Third street
were displayed. There was also similar dem
onstration in Now York. The Express says:
At the last session of the Public Stock Board,
ibis afternoon, a private dispatch wns read an
nouncing the fact that Fort Sumter was occu
pied by the Forty-seventh Pennsylvania Volun
teers. The members got quite jubilant nnd gave
three cheers, sang patriotic airs, and otherwise
manifested their joy.
Thus every idle story, started by speculating
knaves, to enhance their own peculiar interests,
is greedily swallowed by the gullible gce-o who
look for the subjugation of the South. When
will people cease to'bo foolsT
Men can use their own pleasure, go as volun
teers or lie conscripted, it is a matter of little
inonient to.us since the Gazette intimates that
none but Republicans should go.— lnquirer.
Rather u shrewd way of advising your Abo
lition friends not to volunteer, Mr. Inquirer, and
-.•r.ther a singular exhibition,ol patriotism for
one so superlatively "loyal" as you pretend to
be. As for us Democrats, how can we consid
er ourselves included in Abraham's prospective
.100,000, when his proclamation calls upon only
the "good and loyal," among which he, through
such exponents as yourself, denies us a place?
You tell your friends that you don't care wheth
er they volunteer or not. You curse and abuse
Democrats until they cannot preserve their hon
or and at the same time fight for an administra
tion that thus exhibits iU hatred toward them.
You are, therefore, engaged in preventing en
listments. Take care, lest you feel the halter
draw before some of those around whose necks
you are so anxious to place it.
"THE AGE.''—This able and interesting journ
al is now received daily by express and for sale
:it the bookstore of H. C. Reamer. The "Age"
is a conservative newspaper, edited with great
•■are and ability and always contains full and
authentic reports of the current news. It is
very neatly printed, in fact, we think it the
most elegant sheet, typographically speaking,
published in the Union. It is no sensation paper
like the Philadelphia Inquirer, which publishes
all kinds of improbable rumors as truth, only
to contradict them the next day. Let conser
vative men buy the Age. at all times, in prefer
ence to the Inquirer.
ea~The Cincinnati Inquirer says that the elec
tioneering card recently gotten up by the Aboli
tionists concerning a conspiracy in Ohio to release
.Tohn Morgan and other rebel prisoners having
ierred its purpose in the New York elections, is
now permitted to be contradicted. What a glori
o u, free and enlightened country we do live in,
at present!
SB-Judge Woodward becomes V'ldef Justice j

way than ever liefore, when they amlertake to

DR. RADWAY'S CLEANSING SYRUP,
Called Renovating Resolvent, is the most ex
traordinary medicine for the cure of all skin dis
eases, Humors, Sores, Chronic Diseases, Scrof
ula, Rieketts, Sore Legs, Swellings of the Glands,
Syphilitic Diseases, in the world. One bottle
of this remedy will make more pure blood, and
add greater clearness to the skin than a dozen
bottles of the most popular Sarsaparillas. In
fants afflicted with sore heads, "breakings out,"
cankers, &e., are cured in a few days. One to
six bottles will cure the worst cases of skin dis
eases.
I ICON CITY COMMERCIAL COLLEGE. —This In
stitution, the largest and most extensirly known
in the country has longest retained its Corps of
Teachers, who are practical business men, and
long enjoyed an enviable reputation, insuring
a thorough business education to all holding
Diplomas of this Institution. Every young
man before entering on active life should gradu
ate at this School, and lay the foundation of a
substantial fortune, with hundreds who are now
engaged in business, secured by advantages af
forded only at this College.
ANOTHER ADVANCE IN THE PAPER MARKET.
—Paper stock and materials have gone up over
thirty per cent in value since the first of Au
gust. A number of paper mills will run only
half time thro' the winter, and others will dis
continue entirely. It is said that larga impor
tations of pajicr have l>ecn ordered from abroad
to supply the dcmuiuf for fine paper that cannot
be manufactured in this country at a profit on
i the present price of stock.—-Af. Tune).
CyWe should have stated ere this, that some
of I ho. la*t mooting# held liv the Democracy dur
ing the late cnntpnign, were not reported itt our
paper, owing to the fact that, our columns Were
very much crowded just'then; we should also
have stated that several oi' these meetings were
addressed by that true uud talented Democrat,
G. H. Spang, Esq. It is really gratifying to
know tl'lt (fdill'l !'l genera! apostacy of ilie
would-be leaders of the party) sucli men as Mr.
Spang, who have never aspired, though possess
ing the ability, to be leaders, remain firm and
true, faithful among the faithless. Mr. Spang
is a lawyer of eminent ability and as an advo
cate is unsurpassed by any man of his age, nt
any bar in Southern Pennsylvania. Higher
honors yet await him.

Bedford Cemetery.
A public burial ground in this vicinity, appears
at lust to be a reality. It has been long iu con
templation—long looked for—long wished for—
and long badly wanted. Like the Railroad, if
the citizens could have just gotten somebody
else to make it, and then to give them the first
choice lots, and to charge them only about Pot
ter's-field prices, they would havo availed them
selves of the advantages and consented that it
might go on. Put the land has been purchased
and the deed delivered, and from what is known
of the enterprise and practical go-aheadativo
ncss of the board of managers, we have no doubt
of the Cemetery being made a permanent insti
tution in our midst. * * *

How The Elections aro Controlled.
Arrest of Candidates in Baltimore County.—
Shortly after the opening of the polls this morn
ing in Baltimore county, Messrs. Ceo. 11. Car
man, R. Edwin Hook and Richard Grason, in
dependent candidates for the offices of Clerk of
the Cicuit Court, Sheriff and State's Attorney,
were arrested by order of the military authori
ties. They were brought to this city and taken
to the Provost Marshal's office, where they were
detained until about four o'clock yesterday after
noon, when they v/|ro unconditionally released.
The charges preferred against them were not
made public. *
The above paragraph is taken from the Hil
timore Sun of last Thursday. It shows how the
military despotism established in Maryland dur
ing the last two years, manages to control elec
tions in that State. The saaie force, precisely,
has been employed by the Aministration to pre
vent a free expression of the popular will in
other places. It was in view of this interfer
ence of military power in the elections that the
New York Tribune, in its edition of the 26th
of September last, said:
"If the President elect is to take and keep
his olfice by virtue of the bayonet, voting soon
becomes a dreary absurdity ; for, if the bayonet
13 ultimately to choose the President, the pre
liminary ballot might as well be dispensed with."
The Maryland Electioft.
The elections hold on Wednesday hist through
out Maryland have, as anticipated, resulted in
the success of the Lincoln, Woolly Head, Ne
gro Equality party. Except in one district,
th< Fifth Congressional, they appear to have
had everything their own way. In the Fifth
it is supposed that Benjamin S. Harris, Demo
crat, lias been elected to Congress over Calvert,
"conditional" Union, and Col. Holland, "un
conditional" Union. The elections throughout
the State were as near mockery as may be.—
The Baltimore Transcript of Saturday says:
"In several, if not all of tho counties, armed
soldiers were stationed around the polls, aud
some scenes of violence are reported to have
occurred in consequence, resulting in the intim
idation of many voters.
"At upper Marlboro', an order from Gener
al Schonck was received by the Provost Mar
shal, Shelby Clark, Esq., forbidding tho inter
ference of the military power unless the right
of a citizen to vote should be challenged upon
the ground of disloyalty, in which case the
oath of allegiance was required to he adminis
tered. Notwithstanding this order, however,
Colonel Baker, of Washington, made liis ap
pearance at the head of an anncd force shortly
after the balloting had commenced, and informed
the judges that he was authorized from Wash
ington to instruct them that the oath of allegi
ance must be required of every one af tempting
to vote. Against these instructions Mr. Clark
qfFcrod it written protest, asserting the suprcma-!
ey of Gen. Schenck's command under which he
acted, over that of Gen. Augur, commanding
the defences at Washington, under whose au
thority Col. Baker claimed to act.
"The latter, however, insisted upon the en
forcement of his instructions, and the voting
was proceeded with, the oath being administered
to all who presented themselves at tho polls.—
"At Nottingham, in tho same county, a de
tachment of Col. Baker's command presented
themselves with instructions similar to those
read to the judges ut Upper' Marlboro," but
were peremptorily ordered otf by a lieutenant
of Capt. Watkins' company, who was in atten
dance nt the polls with a squad of men.
"Tho polls at Port Tobacco, Charles county,
were similarly guarded by military, and as a
consequence, tho Times states, but 1)31, of the
1,300 legal voters of the county, exercised the
right of franchise."
The Frederick Union , commenting upon the
election in that city, says:
"Under all circumstances the thing culled
election was a perfect farce at the Frederick polls,
and if the result is determined by the vote here,
Gov. Bradford will most undoubtedly feel it his
solemn duty to withhold commissions from those
who may seem to be clectod. Is there a high
minded, honorable gentleman in Frederick coun
ty, having a knowledge of the outrageous pro
ceedings at the polls in this city on Wednesday i
last, who would stoop so low as to accept office
upon such terms? We trust not.
Who Should Pray.
First of all, let Abraham Lincoln pray—
pray that his "marble heart" may be softened—
that the bitter curse inflicted by wicked rulers
may bo removed—that "the voico of llachel
for her children crying" may no longer disturb
the startled air—that bloody war may cease,
and that the angel of peace may once ntore
spread its white wings over a sorrowing land
bending beneath the heavy blow of national
ufactions 1 Let those around and near him pray
—pray that their counsels may be free from
partisan venom and malignant spite—that thoir
actions may be governed by an honest zeal for
the welfare of their prostrate country—that all
fraud and corruption may be banished from
their midst, and that they may be spared the
fearful crime, of having aidou and abetted in
their country's ruin! Lot all the people pray—
pray that tliir priceless liberties may be preserv
ed—that illegul arrests, unlawful banishments,
aud violations of personal rights may no lon
ger prevail—that integrity may dwell in the
hearts of their servants, and public virtue once
again assert its sway in the high places of the
Government—that tho crimes which have de
graded the bad men in power inay give place to
official rectitude and purity—thnt wrongs may
he righted, outrages redressed, error rebuked,
and that justice may again be recalled to a land
from whose borders she lied affrighted and dis
mayed, when the dark shadow of coming des
potism fell! upon her pathway— Kentucky News
A Prophecy—Mr, Chase.
I In a private letter, written the other day, Mr.
Yallandigluun says:
"I observe that Mr. Chase is making himself
merry over my exile and defeat. Well, that is
all right, too. Rut I remember when, a few
years ago, the name of Salmon I'. Chase was
the synonym of everything odious and vile;
and when lie was one the leaders of a party
not numbering in the whole United States, one
tenth part as many as the votes which I receiv
ed ir Ohio at the late election, and poor and
humble enough to be content with the crumbs
which fell from the colored people's table at tho
Baker street chapel. My friend, Mr. James
Brooks, remembers also, when he rescued Mr.
Chase from the violence of a mob in .Dayton,
and led him, all trembling, by the arm to u
p,\ce of safety. Now Salmon P. Chase, is high
in w.-uM ari 'l position, clothed in purple and
fine linf >J, > :ln '' faring sumptuously every day,
while Ia *° I ' lC subject of his scoffs as an ex.'le.
Rut I shell ''' vu f° SBe 'f' o f' ,ne when Mr. Chaso
will be rent in ect >s by the whirlwind which
he has contributed so much to raise; and made
the victim of tho vc.'T >"ob before which he
now triumphs and cxu'l's, as did Belshazzar
at his least; and when •'Uncle Abes pardon"
will he of as little value to b'tve him as one of
"Uncle Abe's" vulgar jokes. 7 naay have to
"watch and wait" for the time, '■ ir 'H come,
and I shall then be at home and in Let
him and his friends laugh now."
We find the above in the Dayton EthpJre of
Saturdayilast. It contains a prophetic view b 'at
Mr. Chase and his oligarchy of "greenbacks'"'
had as well not overlook. The ups and downs
of revolution are among the extraordinary e
vents in human destiny.
FORTRESS MONROE, NOV. 7.—The Richmond
I Whir] of the sth, contains the following dis
patches :
C/iurlestoi, S. C., Xov. 4. —The botnbardnient
of Fort Sumter continues furiously. It was

President Davis has visited James Island
Forts fVmberton and Johnson and all tho bat
teries along the shore.
Charleston, Xov. 5.-There is slow firing to day

The Yankee advance has reached Florence.
We occupy London, which places us within
twenty-three miles of Knoxville, behind the de

The enemy is raiding the country near Hunts
villc, committing great depredations. Their
raids tire more disastrous than any of their pre
ceding ones in Madison and HuntsviUc counties.
Bragg has it in his power to muzzle the tele
graph, but he can't muzzle the mails.
The enemy has gained important advantages
within fhe last forty eight hours, which, unless

WASHINGTON, November Bth.—lt appears
from information received here to-night, that
on Saturday morning the Fifth and Sixth Corps
under command of .Major General Sedgewick,
advanced to Rappahannock Station, they form
ing the right wing of the army. The First,
Second and Third Corps forming the left wing,
under Major General French, (including Gener
al Kenly's division of Maryland troops,) proceed
ed to Kelly's Ford.
When flic right wing reached the Rappahan
nock the enemy were found to be in considera
ble forec, and holding this side of the river.—
The rebel batteries, earthworks and redoubts
covered the banks on each side of the Rappa
hannock.
General Sedgewick at once advanced and
stormed them, and this was done with great
gallantry andimpetuouhfty, can's?"* mneli slaugh
ter and taking large numbers of prisoners.
When General French's force rewclod Kelly's
Ford, about six initios below Rappahannock
Station, the enemy threw an entire envision a
cross in support of their picket line on this side.
General French hastily took a position so as
to bring his artillery to bear upon them. and
then proceeded to shell them with marked effect
not only killing a large number, but throwing'
them into utter confusion, scattering them wild
ly, and taking many prisoners.
General French, following up his advantage,
immediately threw the first division of the Third
Corps, commanded by General ilirney, across
tho river, which ended his operations for tho
jday.
This (Sunday) morning he crossed the liap
palmnnoek with the remainder of his command.
General Sedgewick had previously crossed, and
at nine o'clock this morning tho two wings'
formed a junction and held both bnnks o£ the
river.
The enemy, after their defeat ia these two
separate engagements, wore so hotly pursued by
our victorious forces that they threw themselves
into the river in their efforts to escape, whore
some were drowned and many killed! by our in-"
fantry.
All the artillery the rebels had on tins gido !
of the river was captured, reported to bo seven
guns, and tlicre is no doubt that their entire
camp equipage fell into our hands, as they were
compelled to leave it in their hasty retreat.
Bufbrd's cavalry crossed the river at Sulphur
Springs to cover the right Hank, seven miles a
bove Kappnhannock Station, and Generals Gregg
and Kilpatrick crossed below Kelly's Ford, to
cover the left flank.
No definite information had been received of
their operations up to noon to day. The enemy,,
after crossing the Rappahannock, staler cover
of .the night moved in the direction of Culpeper,
and tiie iMlvanee of our forces, supposed to bo
cavalry, >viJS reported to be at Brandy Station •
early to-day.
This morning' our whole line again advanced,
and General MeaJe no doubt pressed rapidly
forward after the lCui'catirig foe.
The entire number of prisoners taken by Gen
erals Sedgewick and French is jfow believed to
be 1.826, as orders were sent W Col. Revercuux,.
at Alexandria, to prepare accommodation for
that number. The prisoners are composed prin
cipa'ly of North Carolina and Louisiana troops.
Our total loss is represented to he 4,00 in
killed artd wounded, but no prisoners. Onr
wounded were carried to Warrenton Junction,
and tenderly cared for, and thence sent to Alex
andria this afternoon.
FORT SUMTER DESTROYED.
Tho Ruins Occupied by Pennsylvania
Soldiers.
Yesterday afternoon, about two o'clock, the
11. S. steamer Salvor, Capt. Mott, reached Phil
adelphia, consigned to Messrs. Clyde. She left
Hilton Head on Wednesday the 4th inst., and
her news from Morris Island and the progress
of the "Union troops is late and importunt.—
The Salvor left Charleston liar on Sunday after
noon, the Ist inst., and at that time three Mon
itors, and batteries Gregg and Wagner were
bombarding Fort Sumter stoadily, and the fire
for the week previods had been so effective that
when the Salvor sailed, a storming party was
being detailed and organised for the purpose of
completing the work by an assault.
The Salvof then left and reached Hilton Head
on Monday, and remained there until Wednes
day. On Monday tho steamer Golden Gate
reached Hilton Head from Charleston Bar,
bringing the news that Fort Sumter had been
successfully assaulted op Sunday evening, and
that tho ruins were then occupied by the 144 th
Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers.
On Wednesday, when the steamer left Hilton
Ilead, it was understood that the Federal steam
er Fulton had been detained by Gen. Gillmore
for the purpose of sending official news to the
authorities at Washington. Tho Fulton is now
due ut New Y'ork. None of the officers on
board the Salvor could give any information in
regard to the details of the work accomplished'
by Gen. Gillmore's guns. Suinpter, however,
showed the effects of the terrible fire to which
it had boon subjected. The fall of the sea wall
was seen by the forces on Morris Island, and
was the occasion of much rejoicing aniong our
troops. Notwithstanding the guns required to
keep up the bombardment of Sumter, time and
opportunity was found to pay attention to the
other forts in the harbor, although the firing u
pon these was' by no means continuous. The
rebel guus bad not accomplished stny damage
to Gillmore's works. The rebels were rather
careful of their ammunition, and for the last
two days had not replied to the fire of Gen.
Gillmore.

accounts. The steamboat beats the telegraph
