ACT. 23, 1862.
Has the Soldier a Bight to Vote ?
Onoor ( two of thief would-be leaders of the Dem
ocnMiu party in HoUidayshmg, (but who, we fancy,
are by thU time aware that they do not,occupy the
corded position they claim, and who jwe predict
will he yeratly handled by the masses of that
party shonld ever occasion occurjhavebeen loud
ly pitxtlaiming against the right of a soldier to
vote, within the past few days. shey base their
opinion oo a decision of the Supreme Court relating
to Copnty Officers. We have not read it, but are
. infiwmadjit does not go the length they claim.—
What the Supreme Courthaye to do with deter
mining who b entitled to a aeetin Congressor the
State Legislature, these gentlemen may under
stand, but we 3o pot. It b enough for us to know
they fevor the disfranchisement of the soldier.—
Practically it may not be a matter of much mo
ment,at this time. as it may not change the result.
But we intead to keep a record of .the course pur
sned by these office-seders. When a decision of
the Supreme Court b favorable to their views, they
boisterously clamor the law great be sustained.
Whenthey don’t Hke it, they bid it defiance. In
Gen. Jackson’s .time, the Supreme Court of the
United States decided that a National Bank was
unconstitutional. The Democratic party revolted
against that decision; and Gen. Jackson himself
anatirtH that he, as President, would not hold it
so, even though the Supreme Court unanimously
so deejdeiL He vetoed the Charter for a National
Bank on that ground, and was; largely sustained
by the people. The plain truth is simply this:
these politicians are for sustaining decisions; when
they like them, and against them when they don’t.
Tht Peopit will not'consent to take away from the
soldier, who, away from the comforts of home at a
nominal consideration, is bravely battling for
country and her institutions, any privilege, whiefr
bb would have if at home. The man who denies
diem tins right, because he feats hb party candi
didate could not succeed without, will find Jordan
a harder read to travel than poet ever sang of, or
traveller eyer found.
1679.
The flat of the People of Blair County has
forth, and they hare declared in favor of Louis W.
Hall, for Senator, by a majority designated by the
figures above—unprecedented and overwhelming.
If it isswept away by the majorities of Cambria
and Clearfield, as seems to be the case, still the
vote ofCoL Hall in his own home and County, is
one he may well ever be proud of. It is a glorious
refutation of the slanderous charges made against
bun. Elected or defeated, the people of onr own
“Little Blair” sustained him as no man was ever
sustained before. Onr appeal, made prior to the
election,nil not in vain, and we thank, the people
for it. 33* vote of Mr. Hall in this county, con
sidering the fact that hie'ran as the regular nomi
nee of one party organization, is unprecedented.
Ahpnt Elbves Hcxdeed ahead of the Union
St*|e 33nket. If be is defeated, it is bat a.tempo
raqr defeat. The heart of the masses of this
coonty is with him, and the time will come when
they wiS demonstrate it still stronger than on the
kith, when they sent him to onr sister counties of
Clearfield and Cambria, with a majority of pearly
BfWlffrm |hnndred. Glorious “Little Blair”—
irffydidahedoher work. Long may she wave,

A Bor Htmam Spout.—A singular occurrence
transpired in Philadelphia on Thursday, resulting
in the deathofaladnamedAlburger, aged four
teen years.; It appears that the deceased and a
anmber df ius companions were amusing them
selves ina Slaughter house belonging to Alburger's
paying “ John Brown,” a
io the premise* being used to personate die victim.
While thn* engaged some of the boys playuflly
placed a strap, used as a rope, around the neck of
young Alburger, and proceeded to draw him from
the gtooncLby the means of a crank, nsed to bang
meat. By; sbmemifortnnate chance the strap
tighMpitl around Ids neck, whfle his feetdid not
toocfathe ground, and he . was bung in earnest.
His companions,. becoming frightened, did not
attempt to .take or cuthim down, but called for
the initiates of die house, but before assistance
reached him the unfortunate youth was dead.

Our Army Correspondence
Hilton Head. S. C., I
Oct. 14, 1862. j
■ Messrs Editors : — Having noticed for some
time past that your correspondent “Keystone” has
ceased his communications, J will undertake to
Rive you a few items of news from the 10th army
cotfps. For some time previous to the arrival of
Gen. O. M. Mitchell everything wore a dull and
spiritless appearance. No person seemed to ex
hibit any energy, except Gen. Hunter himself and
by him only in regard to one thing and that was
making the. condition of the negroes better than
that of the white soldiers under his command.
He however is now gone, and has been almost for
gotten at Hilton Head, The arrival of General
Mitchell and his energetic actions at once inspired
confidence and enthusiasm. He visited all the
different regiments and commands at once, anil
before he had been here ten days, he was better
known by the troops, than his predecessor was
when he returned to the North. Expeditions of
different kinds are constantly being fitted out and
started. About two weeks ago Col. Barton.
Comd'g. Ft. Pulaski, took two light draft boats,
the Planter and Starlight and about 500 men, and
paid a visit to Blufiton on the main land. He
drove in the pickets, shelled the town and even
frightened the rebels who were quartered at Har
deeville 14 miles distant, so badly that they took
to their heels and rested only when they had put
about 30 miles between them and the gunboats.
Another expedition started to Florida and cap
tured a rebel battery mounting six siege guns and
one mortar, besides all the camp and garrison
equipage, guns, clothing, rations, in fact every
thing. The secesh “skedaddled” without firing a
shot. Another expedition is now being fitted out
tor a descent on a different point in Florida. So
yon see Gen. Mitchell is not idle. He told the
troops when he came here that he would not al
low them to remain idle, but was determined that
N thcy should see the enemy and engage him. In
the meantime the appearance of things at Hilton
Head is gradually changing. Where one year
ago was but a fort and one house, now stand im
mense Commissary, Ordnance, and Quartermas
ters store houses. Quite a number of traders have
opened stores which do.a ; thriving business. They
are located in one line along a new street lately
opened, and the line of odd looking houses and
tents is facetiously called “Rogues Row.” We
have a watch maker also; and bye and bye I sup
pose we will have all the different trades fully rep
resented. But decidcdly| the greatest institution
here is the Rail road. The completion of this pe
culiar feature, is due to.the energy and perseve
rance of Copt. Chas. Gqrrettson, Depot Quarter
master, and formerly Quartermaster of the 76th
P. V. It is not a passenger railway, though
many lazy employees seem to think it is, but a
substantial horse railroad fbr,conveying stores of
all kinds, forage &c., frojjn the dock to the differ
ent storehouses. The saving on horseflesh is al
most ticyond calculation,-as any one who has ever
visited Hilton Head and; witnessed the labor with
which the horses drew tl|eir wcaiy loads through
the deep sand will testify! All praise then to hu
mane Capt. Garrcttson. : I understand that Gen.
Mitchel has applied for mote troops, and that an
entire brigade will soon! be here. If such is The
case we may look for seine very important move
ments before long. I fancy you will hear soon
that the 40th army corps; intends wintering in Sa
vannah and Charleston, and that they are on their
way to occupy them. i
The health of the troops here is tolerable. We
have a great deal of remittent and intermittent
fever, though very fewcjiscs assume a dangerous
character. Very few deaths occur. The 76th
enjoys vety good health though it has its share of
the fever mentioned. Cnpt. Wayne was for some
tinfe on the sick list but ip now well. Capt. Hicks,
Co. C., has also been under the weather but is fast
improving. |
: Is it possible that yon have men in Altoona who
do not believe this war qo he a jnst oue, and are
yvilling to take an oath| to that effect? I hope
you have no secessionists among you, yet I fear
you have' if the report of ‘the doings of some of the
citizens on “exemption [ day” are correct. Men
who will resort to goggles, conscientious opposi
tion to the war, &c., are hot worthy the protection
of the government under which they live, and
whose blessings they have enjoyed. They should
be scorned by all trne patriots, and treated witli
the contempt their disloyalty deserves. I fear the
utterance of their true; sentiments, will excite the
ire of t}ie volunteers should they ever return, and
that oppe done, they will need to be on their
guard, ;|
I hope no sudti persons are to be fonnd in loyal
little Blair who has her (800 freemen in thp field
with their lives in tbeirjhanda, and ready to die
for the preservation of (his glorious Union, and
the enforcement of the laws. An revolr.

cavalry left Chambersburg, on their way towanl-
Gettysburg, when about ten miles distant from the
former place, they met a, large funeral procession,
which they ordertd to come to a halt. Dismount
ing from their own horses, they selected forty-three
of the best horses in the procession, and atnunc-t
them the horse attached to the hearse. No vio
lence was used, but, on the contrary the greau-i
politeness was displayed -towards the surprised
mourners. At length one of the funeral escort
demanded to know by whose orders their i. ;r- ■
were thus taken. - The reply was: “By order of
Gen. McClellan—they are wanted for the ana'
As soon ns the horses were properly secured
their captors, they pursued their way to the Pom
