Ct-RTIN FROMISED TIIE PKO SLE THAT IF THEY WOULD RE-ELECT lIIM, THE WAR WOULD END IN 30 DAYS AND THERE WOULD RE NO MORE DRAFTING. HOLD THEM TO THEIR FROMISES. ©-Wood, Flour and Pork wauted in payment of subscription. Blood-hounds. In former days, the blood-hound wa3 distin guished from its canine relations, by the pecu liarities of four long legs, a long head, long ears, very long tail, a dark color, and cruel feroci ty of nature. In our day, however, the genus is varied. Some scions of the stock have but two legs and resemble their four-legged brothers only in their length of ears and their cruelty of disposition. It would naturally bo supposed that theso biped blood-hounds, having a keen scent for human gore, would seek the battle- field and in the trench and the rifle-pit delight to snuff the smoking current that gushes from the severed veins of dying rebels. But not so.— They content themselves by sticking close to • their kennel, or like the jackal which follows the lion at a distance and preys on his spoil, they hang around the rear of the army and pounce upon such plunder as falls in their way. They are, however, frequently found behind the mer chant's counter, at the lawyer's desk and (hovri. bleto relate!) in the preacher's pulpit. The mercantile hound generally has a sleek, oily appearance, having fattened upon the blood of the war in the shape of high prices of such ar ticles as the necessities of the people compel them to purchase. His voice is for more blood and his ullulations to that effect, are loud and ceaseless. The legal deg is one who usually has relatives who hold comfortable offices cre ated by the war. lie barks furiously at every thing that threatens to shorten the official life of his kinsmen and ho sets up his own opinion most dogmatically against that of statesmen and jurists. But the clerical blood-hound is n cadaverous looking beast, whoso hollo w-liearted ness looks out of big sunken eyes, notwithstand ing the spectacles which sometimes bide those bypocritic orbs; a low-bred, crouching, crawl ing cur whose whining howl for more carnage, ; delights even the devils in hell. Then, again, .• ViU hvt VA.lv.tjr —T tlilu Oliiti iJ-llUBCva beast, on the editorial tripod, mixing his croco dilo tears, shed over imaginary wrongs of negro slaves, with the ink whence flow the lucubra tions that are to enlighten the readers of Abo lition literature. This animal is generally a stooping, ill-visagcd creature, with tho murder of tho King's English in his very look. He yelps and moans most piteously over tho sup posed sufferings of the black man, but when his brother blood-hounds hunt down white men in their own homes, because they prefer not to imbrue their hands in white men's blood, he barks most joyfully his encouragement and ap proval. Ho is for more slaughter, nioro wid ows, more orphans. lie roars for war, ho howls for butchery. But he Biuclls tho battle afar off. Such are tho dogs of the present, ad ministration—the blood-bounds of Abraham Lincoln. May their fangs soon be drawn. A Bid for "War Democrats." The Niggcrhead organ in its last issue sheds some of its usual crocodile tears over the remov al of some the officc-holdei'3 about tho Court House, saying that they are. proscribed on ac count of being "War Democrats." Its hypo critic weeping over this, to it, sad calamity, is only n bid to the disappointed and disaffected to bow down and worship tho Nigger. There are no "War Democrats," neither arc there any "Peace Democrats " The Constitution is the plat, form of the Democracy and those who stand on it are Democrat.l without any qualifi cation. A man who must have a handle to liis Democracy, is not a Denocrat, but some thing else. As to the appointments, the Dem ocratic Commissioners arc able to judgo for themselves who merit tho patronage which the law gives them to dispense,, and thoy also know at do the Democracy of (he comity, who in Bedford borough, voted for Woodward and wh<> did not. Moreover they desp'se a hypocrite, and have still less respect for men, having fattened upon Democratic favor, afterword, un der the guise of friendship, assassin like, stab tbe Democracy in the dhrk. Weep, again, Niggerhoad I R. Gettys has just received from the East, a large assortment of elegant Photograph ic Albums, Picture Frames and other articles in his line.

A New Stove. Col. John Hafer, of this place has invented, and obtained a patent for, nn improved coal stove, which, we think, is destined to come into general use wherever heat is a desideratum and economy of fuel an object. It is a common coal-stove with the insertion of a hollow cone within the stove, above tho fire, the cone being closed at the top and open at the bottom, and fixed at just sufficient distance from the main body of the stove to permit the pipe to "draw." This cone arrests tho heat tending upward and conveys it to the inside surface of the stove, thus causing it to radiate horizontally instead of passing up the pipe. The amount of fuel saved by this heating apparatus is about fifty per cent, according to our estimation. This is quite an item, in these days of high prices of coal. Col. Ilafer has also invented a heat ra diating drum, which acts on the same principle. We have had one in use in our office for a year and find it all that is claimed for it. The fol lowing letter from one of the best civil engin eers in the country, fully attests tho usefulness of Col. Hafer's invention : OFFICE OF THE B. T. 11. 11. Co.: ) HUNTINGDON, Pa., Nov. 23, 1803. J JOHN HA FEE, ESQ. : Sir—l have tested your Patent Stove, or rather yopr hent.-n"Uti~ i,„ common coal-stove, and find it answers nil that can be desired in a heating stove. It is in use at the Dudley Station House and in the Engine House at Saxton. I have estimated that it saves 40 per cent of fuel, or with the same a mount of fuel, increases the heat 40 per cent. Its chief advantages in Rail Road buildings are its great power in radiating heat, consumption of gas (Semi-bituminous coat) exemption from soot and prevention of accidents from fire. I do not see how a building could take fire hav ing one of your beat radiating drums on the stove. j I cheerfully recommend it to parties desiring economy of fuel, abundant heat and entire ex emption from danger of fire. Very Respectfully, J NO. FULTON, Rcs't. & Mining Engineer. CS-Tho editor of tho Fulton Republican is in! high dudgeon because he has not received our paper in exchange for his little, lousy, filthy Abolition concern which ho has sent toour office for some months past, without any invitation from us and without being opened by us, except twice, since its intrusion into our sanctum. We don't want to exchange with any such lumbering vehicle of tho stalest and mustiest blackguardism of the Abolition press, though we must confess, we were under the impression that the redoubtable organ of tho Fulton Nig gerhcads, \va">n our list. We are glad to find, however, that our foreman had the good sense to withhold the exchange. As to denouncing too editor of tho Republican in *'unmeasured terms." with which wo stand accused, wo deny "the soft impeachment," he being "too small potatoes for us to think of denouncing in even "measured terms." We will mail him this num ber, with tho advice that if he will keep his p.ajicrf?) at home till we ask him to send it, his kingly dignity will not suffer, in tho future, from any squib of ours. "Thc Niggcrheads had a "torchlight" proces sion on Wednesday night of last week, which consisted of a half a dozen tallow candle "trans parencies" carried about by n few hungry boys whoso cries of "beefJ beef!" indicated that not withstanding tho crumbs their fathers get from the table of Father Abraham, they were near ly starred to death.

Rev. (?) Ebony Wr jrs hjp Kirby. Thanksgiving day was made tho occasion of a so-called sermon by Vhu so-styled Reverend E. W. Kirby. The vrrious religious congregations of the town, having been requested by their pastors to go and hear Mr. Kirby preach, men of all see' s and parties nssembled at the M. E. Church, "in which tfio aforesnid Ivirhy was an nounced to hold forth. The Rev. Mr. Sample addr ossed tho throne of grace in fervent, Chris *l3 a supplication, and tho other preliminary f ervices having been performed, "tho orator of the day," tho Reverend E. W. (Ebony Worship) Kirby stepped forward and—made a political speech! We are informed (for we were absent, from homo at the time, and, therefore, were precluded from hearing Mr. Kirby's perform ance) that the whole discourse was nothing but a tirade of partizan abuse. Instead of offering up praises to the Almighty for his benignity to our country during the past year, ho mocked Him by thanking God that Abraham Lincoln is President and that A. G. Gurtin wasre-elect cd Governor, thus attributing to fallible, erring, mortal man, the blessings bestowed upon us by our omnipotent Preserver. Instead of thank ing God that in His merciful Providence he has not chastened us more severely for our national sins, lie gloried in the very guilt which is bring ing ruin and desolation to the land. Ho was, also, bitterly objurgatory upon those clergymen who, true to their calling, prefer "to preach Christ and Him crucified," to fulminating from the pulpit the greenback gospel of Abraham j Lincoln. The minister, said he, who remains i j neutral concerning the issues of the war. is either a coward or a traitor, and deserves a traitor's death, nay, more, a traitor's hell. Er go, every clergyman who does not preach poli tics is a traitor nnd deserves eternal burnings ! What think you of this, good people of Bed ford and you, "neutral" ambassadors of the meek and lowly Jesus, who listened to your gentle brother Kirby's anathemas ? Is the man a knave, a devil, or only a fool? A compound of the three could scarcely so belie tho sacred verity of Christian doctrine. But let us, in charity, conclude that, the fellow's head is turned by the worship of his ebony idol, tho "free A merican ,of African descent." Let us remem ber that Nebuchadnezzar once set up a golden j image and commanded. "0 people, nations nnd j languages," .... "whoso falleth not down j and worshippcth shall tho same hour be cast into tho midst of a burning fiery furnace." Old Neb's head was turned on the subject of the yellow idol, but when ho was "driven from men, nnd did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with tho dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' fenthers and his nails like birds' claws." he lifted up bis eyes unto heaven and his understanding returned unto him. If Kirby's idolatry of the mr/ro be not punished as was Nebuchadnezzar's worship of the golden image, it will be because he will get off on the plea of von rompes mentis. He may never be driven to chewina irt-ioa. j )u t ;f I,„ lives iu aumo to Ins senses, ho will surely bo made to eat his own words. But what makes the negro worship of Mr. Kirby peculiarly nauseous to those who know his past history is the fact that housed to loathe it just as much as he now loves it. Even when he first came to Bedford, lie inveighed quite sharply against it and preached a sermon in which ho protested loudly against the introduc tion of any subject into the church which would create schism, politics, of course, included. But Mr. Kirby went farther than this in the direc tion opposed to that in which he is now tv.ivol ing. Just aftor the General Conference of the M. E. Church had adopted the New Chapter on Slavery, which made "non-slaveholding a condition of membership," the East Baltimore Conference, of which Mr. lvirby was a member, assembled and adopted the following preamble and resolutions: " Whereas, The late General Conference, by Ine adoption of tlio New Chapter on Slavery, has given serious offence to a large number of our members upon the border, disturbing the peace of our societies and tending to the disrup tion of the Church—therefore— Resolved , That in the judgment of tho East Baltimore Conference, the substitution of the Aew for tho Old Chapter on Slavery, was an unnecessary and in jurious change, and it oiudit, therefore, to bo repealed. Resolved, That there can be no administration under said New Chapter in this Conference. Resolved, That we respectfully ask tho several Annual Conferences, at their ensuing sessions, with a view to tho harmony of the whole Church, to give their assent to the following; That the General Conference be and is hereby requested to repeal the Chapter on Slavery, and instead thereof empower each Annual Conference, with in whose bounds the relation of slavery exists, to m.iko such regulations upon tho subject as may best subservo the interests of the Redeem er's Kingdom among them." Mr. Kirby voted for these resolutions and bis name stands in the same column of "Ayes," with the names of George D. Chenoioeth, Samuel Kepler and W. Let Spotlsvwod. By this vote Mr. Kirby said that slave-holding is no sin, and if no sin what has the church to do with it, or it' with the church? Let Mr. K. explain this, or hear the brand of inconsistency and hypoerigv. j But we have already wasted too much spaco upon this small specimen of a political preach er. We ought to have spoken of him rather as a merchant than as a minister j a man who pre fers to sell laces, to attending to the duties of a Christian pastor; a shepherd who postpones re ligious meetings to enable the sheep of his flock to attend political gatherings. In conclusion wo would only nay that any Democrat who will hereafter contribute one red cent to the main tenance of this blaspheming demagogue, ought to have Abolition damnation preached to him all tho remainder of his life. With this wo leave i Rev. Ebony WorshipjKirby, to tho denunciation of a thousand texts in Holy Writ, nny one of which is sufficient to send him to perdition, for, "Lest there should lie among yon man or wo man, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go nnd serve the gods of theso natious; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;" "The Lord will not spare him, but then the anger of tho Lord and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall be upon him and tho Lord shall blot out bis name from under heaven."

Thrilling Account of Throe Days' Fighting. THE CAPTURE OK MISSIONARY HIDGE AND LOOKOUT. HEADQUARTERS, CHATTANOOGA, Nov. 20 K'ltvin M. Stanton, Secretuiy of Win • On the 23d inst., at 11,30 A. M., Gen. Grunt ordered a demonstration against Mission Ridge, to de velop the force holding it. The troops march ed out formed in order, and advanced in Jiuc of battle, as if on parade. The rebels watched the formation and movement from their picket lines and ride pits, and from the summit of sion Ridge, five hundred feet above us, and thought it was a review and drill, so openly anu deliberately, and so regularly was it done. As the line advanced preceded by skirmishers, 11 ley at I o clock, I'. M., reached our picket lines, and opened a rattling volley upon the reb-' el pickets, wlu> returned it and ran into their advanced lines of rifle-pits. After them went our skirmishers, and into them, along the line of 25,000 troops which Gen. Thomas had so quickly deployed. Until wo opened fire, prisoners assert that they thought the whole movement was a review and general drill, ant? that it was too late to send to their camps for reinforcements, and that thpy were overwhelmed by force of numbers. It was a surprise in open daylight. At 3, I'. M., the important advanced position of Orchard Knob and the lines right and left were in our possession and arrangements were ordered for holding them during the night. The next day at daylight Gen. Thomas had 6,000 men across the Tennessee, and established on its south bunk, and commenced the construction ola pontoon bridge, about six miles above Chatanooga. The rebel steamer Dunbar, re paired at the right moment rendered effective aid in this crossing carrying over G,OOO men. By night fall General Thomas hiut seized the extremity of Mission Ridgs nearest the river, and was entrenching himself. Gen. Howard, with a brigade, opened communication with him from Chattanooga on the south side of the river. Skirmishing and cannonading continued all the day on the left and centre. Gen. ilooker scaled the slope of Lookoot Mountain from tho valley of Lookout Creek, drove the rebels around tho point, captured 2,000 prisoners and established himself high up tho mountain side in full view of Chatta nooga. I his raised the blockade, and now steamers wero ordered from Bridgeport to Chattanooga. They had before ran only to Ivelley's Ford, whence ten miles of hauling over tho mountain roads and twice across tho Tennessee upon pon ton bridgeß brought us our supplies. All night the point of Mission Ridge, on the extreme left and the side of Lookout Mountain on the ex treme right blared with the camp-fires of loyal troops. Tho day had been one of dense mists and rains, and much of General Hooker's bat; lies had been fought above the clouds, which con cealed him from our view but f; ;,ra which his musketry was heard. At night the sky cleared and tho full moon, the traitors' doom shone upon the beautiful scene until 1 A. M. Twinkling sparks upon the moun tnin side showed that picket skirmishing was going on; then it ceased." A brigade sent from Chattanooga crossed the Chattanooga crock and opened communication with Hooker. Gen. Grant's headquarters, during the after noon of the 23d and the day of the 24th wcro, in Wood's liedoubt, except when in the course of the day, he rode along the advanced line, visiting the headquarters of the various com manders in Chattanooga valley. At daylight on the 2.">tb the stars nnd stripes were discovered on the peak of Lookout. The rebels had evacuated the mountain. General Hooker moved to descend the moun tain and striking Mission liidge at the Rossville Gap, to sweep on both sides, and on its sum mit. The rebel troops were seen as 9 oon as it was light enough, streaming by regiments and bri gades along the narrow summit of Mission Ridge, either concentrating on the right to over whelm Sherman, or inarching for tiie railroad, to raise the seige. They had evacuted the valley of Chattanooga; would they abandon that of Chickatnaoga ? The twenty pounder and rifled guns of Wood's re doubt opened on Mission ridge. Orchard Knob sent its compliments to the Ridgo, which, with rilled Parrotts, answered, and the, cannonade Ihus commenced continued all day. Shot and shell screamed from Orchard Knob to Mission Ridge, and from Mission Ridge to Orchard Knob, and from Wood's Redoubt over the heads of Generals Grant and Thomas nnd their staff, who were with us in this favorable position, where the whole battle could bo seen as in an amphitheatre.- The headquarters were under fire nil day long. Cannonading nnd musketry were heard from General Sherman. (ran. Howard marched the 11th Army Corps to join liitn. Thomas sent out Skirmishers, who drove in the rebel pickets and chased them into their entrenchments at the foot of the Mission Ridge. General Sherman made an assault against Brngg's right, entrenched on a high knoll, next to that 011 which Gen. Sherman lay fortified.— The assault was gallantly made. They reached the edge of the crest, and held their ground for it seemed to me, an hour, but were bloodily re pulsed by the reserves. A general advan co was ordered and a strong lino of skirmishers followed by a deployed line of battle sorno ten miles in length. At the sig nal of the loader (shots from tho headquarters on Orchard Knob) they moved rapidly and or derly forward. Tho rebel pickets discharged their muskets and into their rifle-pits. Our skirmishers fol lowed on their heels. The line of battlo was not far behind, and we saw the gray rohels swarm out of the lino of rifle-pits in numbers which surprised us, and over tho base of the hill, a few turned and fired their pieces; but the greater number collected into the many roads which cross obliquely up its steep face and on to the tnp. Some regiments pressed on and swarmed up the steep sides of the river. Here and there a color was advanced beyond the lines. The attempt appeared to be most dan gerous, hut the advance was supported, and the whole line ordered to storm the heights, upon which not leys than forty pieces of artillery, and no one knew how many muskets, stood ready to slaughter the assailants. With dicers answering cheers, the men swarm ed upwards. They gathered to the point least difficult of ascent, and tho lino was broken.— Color after color was planted on the summit, whilo musket and cannon vomited their thunder upon them. A well directed shell from Orchard Knob ex ploded a rebel caisson on the summit, and the pun was seen galloping to the right its driver lashing his horses. A party of our soldiers in tercepted them, and the gun was captured with cheers. A fierce musketry fire broke out to the left, where, between Generals Thomas an.l Sherman, a mile or two of the ridge was still occupied by the rebels. Bragg left the house in which be had held his headquarters, and rode to the rear as our troops crowded the hill on either side of him. General Grant proceeded to the summit and only then did we know its height. Some of the captured artillery was put into position, artiller ists were sent for to work the guns and caissons >vere searched for ammunition. The rebel log breastworks were torn to pieces and carried to the other sideof tho ridge and used in forming barricades. A strong line of infantry was formed in tho rear t f Buird's line, who was hotly engaged in a muakotry contest with the rebels, to the left, and a secure lodgment was soon effected. The othsr assault, to the left of our centre, gained the summit, and tho rebels threw down their arms ai?d fled. General Hooker, coming into a favorable position, swept tho right of the ridge and captured many prisoners. Bragg's remaining troops left early in the night, and the ball lo of Chattanooga, after thvec days of manoeuvring and fighting, was won. The strength of the rebellion in the centre was broken; Burnside relieved from danger, East Tennessee, Kentucky i\nd Tennessee rescued, Georgia and the Southwest threatened in the rear, and another victory added to the chapter of "Unconditional Surrender Grant." To night the estimate of captures is several thousand prisoners and thirty pieces of artillery. Tho loss for so great a victory is not severe. Bragg is firing tho railroad as he retreats to wards Dal ton. Sherman is in hot pursuit. To-day I viewed the battle-field, which ex tends for six miles on Lookout Mountain.— Probably not so well-directed or so well-ordcr eu a battle has been delivered (loving tho war. But one assault was repulsed, but that assault, by calling to that point the rebel reserves pre vented them repulsing any of the others. A few days since General Bragg sent to Gen. Grant a flag of truce, advising him that it would be prudent to remove all non-combatants who might still bo in Chattanooga. No reply has been returned, but the comba tants having removed from this vicinity, it is probable that noncombantants can remain with out imprudence. M. C. MEIGS, Quartermaster-General.

Nearly Four Hun ! ilred Millions have been already subscribed for and j paid into the Treasury, mostly within the lust sev len months. The large demand from abrond, and tho rapidly increasing home demand for use as the basis j for circulation by National Banking Associations | now organizing in all parts of tne country, will, in j a very sbort period, absorb tne balance. Sales have j lately ranged from ten to fifteen millions weekly, I fiequently exceeding three millions daily, and as it I is well known that the Secretary of the Treasury ; has ample ami unfailing resources in tho Duties on i Imports and internal Revenues, and in the issue of the Interest beariDg Legal Tender Treasury Notes, it is almost a certiinty that he will not find it ne cessary, for a long time to come, to seek a market for any other long or permanent loans, THE INTER EST AND PRINCIPAL OP WHICH ARE PAY ABLE JN GOLD. Prudence and self-interest mii3t force the minds of those contemplating the formation of National | Banking Associations, as well as the minds of a'l j who have idle money on their hands, to the prompt I conclusion that they should lose no time in subscri ! bing to this most popular Loan. It will soon be be yond their reach, and advance to a handsome premi um, as was the result with the "Seven Thirtv" Loan, when it was all sold and could no longer bo subscribed for at par. It is a Six per Cent. Loan, the Interest end Prin cipal payable in Coin, thus yielding over Nine per Cent, per annum at the present rate of premium oa coin. The Government requires all duties on imports to be paid in Coin ; these duties have for a long time past amounted to over a Quarter o( a Million o? Dol lais daily, a sum nearly three times greater than that required in the payment of the interest on all the 5-20's and other permanent Loans. So that it is hoped that the surplus Coin in the Treasury, at no distant day, will enable the United States to re sume specie payments upon all liabilities. The Loan is called fi-20 from the fact that whilst the Bonds may run for 20 years yet the Government h is a right to pay them off in Gold at par, at any time alter 0 years. Tint INTKUKST IS PAID H.U.F YRARI.T, viz : on tho first days of November and May. Subscribers can have Coupon Bonds, which aro payable to bearer, and are SSO, SIOO, and SIOOO ; or Registered Bonds of same deiominutions, and in ad. dition, $5,000, and SIO,OOO. Foi Banking purposes and for investments of Trust-monies the Registered Bonds are preferable. These 5-20's cannot be taxed by States, cities, towns or counties, and the Government tax on them is only one-and-a-half per cent., on the amount of income, when the income of the holder exceeds Six Hundred dollars per annum i all other investments, such as income from Mortgages, Railroad Stock and Bonds, etc., must pay from three to five per cent, tax on the income. Banks and Bankers throughout the Country will continue to dispose of the Bonds ; and all orders by mail, or otherwise, promptly attended to. The inconvenience of a few days' delay in the delivery of the Bonds is unavoidable, the demand being so great j but as interest commences from the day of subscription, no loss is occasioned, and eve ry effort is being made to diminish the delav.
