do Want and will have a just obedience to
the laws of the United; States. That we
will have, and if it involves the destruc
tion of your improvements we cannot help
it. You have heretofore read public senti- ,
menl in your newspapers, that live by
falsehood and excitement, and the quicker
you took for truth' in other quarters the
better for you. I repeat, then, that by
the original compact of Government, the
United States had certain rights in Georgia
which have never been relinquished, and
never will be ; that the South began the
war by seising forts, arsenals, mints, cus
tom houso*, &p., long before Mr. Lincoln
was installed, and before the South had
one" jot or tittle of provocation. 1, my
self, have seen in Missouri, Kentucky,
Tennessee and Mississippi, hundreds and
thousands of women and children fleeing
from your primes and desperadoes, hungry,
and with bleeding feet. In Memphis,
Vicksbuig, and Mississippi, we fed thous
ands upon thousands of the ftumlies of
rebel soldiers left on our hands, and whom
we could not see starve. Now, that war
comes home to you, you feel very different
—you deprecate its horrors, but did
feel them when you sent car loads of sol
. diets and amunition, and moulded shells
and shot Into- Kentucky. and Tennessee,
and desolated the homes of hundreds, and
thousands of good people, who only asked
to live in peace at their old homes, and un
der the Government of their inheritance.
But these comparisons are idle. I want
peace, mid believe it can only be reached
through Union and war, and I will ever
conduct war with a view to perfect an
early success. But, my dear sire, when
that peace does come, you may call on me
for anything- Then will I share with
you the last crakef, and watch with you
to shield your homes and families against
danger from every quarter. Now you
must go, and take with you the old and
feeble, feed and nurse them, and build for
them, in more quiet places, proper habita
tions to shield then? against the weather,

SATURDAY. OCTOBER 1!6,1864.
The Election.
At this writing, Friday morning, it is
impossible to tell exactly how the State
has gone- Both parties claim a small ma
jority and it' will require the official vote
to decide. The Democrats have gained
largely in many of the counties, while in
others the Union party has made an ad
vance. But little can be told about the
losses and gains, however, as there were
no candidates for State offices. This will
also for the delay in receiving the
returns.;
ICthe Union party has.lost in votes, it
bar gained considerable in the way of Con
gressmen. The official vote will be re
quired to deride several districts. The
presept representation in Congress stands
12 Union to 12 Democrats. The candi
dates supposed to be elected this fell are
as follows *

The County.
We will publish the official Vote of the
county should we receive it in time; The
Democrats had no!, candidates for county
offices.' The only opposition toany of the
Union nominees was Uartin L. Bechtel
independent, candidate far Sheriff, who, it
is reported, Selected by from 200 to 300
majority. The Union ticket has a majori
ty of from 500 to 600 in the county. Mr.
Bechtel was in the army and lost an arm
at the battle of Gettysburg: For this rea
son he was supported irrespective of party.'
Ohio amitlndiana
The pews from Ohio state that the Union
party have carried that state by a major!-j
ty equal to that of last year, when Brough
had over 40,000 majority on the home Vote
and the army vote swelled it to near 100,-
000. v
In lndiana4he Union party has re-elect
ed Gov. .Morton by a majority somewhere
between !0,000 and 20,000.
Several Union members' of Congress
have been gained in both states.
From the Army.
The election excitement hajs absorbed
the attention of almost every person tor
the past week, and but little has been said
in to war matters. Notwith
standing, the army has not been altogether
quiet. Gen. Butler, with the army of the
James, has in towards Rich
mond, and has Succeeded in 'planting him
self firmly within roar-miles of that doom
ed city. The Army of the Potomac moves
steadily forward on Petersburg,from South
of the James River, and alfairsare now so
near a culminating point that iwe look for'
exciting news from that locality in a very
short time. Gen, Sheridan 'Still moves
forward. A few' days since the Rebel
cavalry, of Early’s command, now under
a new commander, made up attack on
Sheridan, whereupon the laltef set to work
and gave the new commander a .severe
dPfcipping, capturing between 300 and 500
prisoners and 13 cannon, some of which
were entirely new, having never been used.
Gen. Sheridan, in His despatch to Gen.
Grant, says he did not intend; to fight the
battle at present, but having been pressed
bv the enemy he stopped a -day to settle
the new rebel cavalry commander. Our
cavalry pursued the rebels fqr twenty-six
miles, scattering them in all directions.
In Missouri, the rebel Gen* Price is still
moving around, although he lias been sev
eral tithes defeated. He proclaims his in
tention to remain in the state, but should
he be as unfortunate in time;;to come, as
he has been in the past, he will soon have
no army to stay with him.
Gen. Sherman, after having rested his
army at Atlanta, is about fo assume tfie
offensive again. To what jpoint his tri
umphant army will gcxt move we cannot
say, but of one thing we are sure, it will
be to that point which will accomplish the
most beneficial results. •
Maryland Election.
The! vote on the adoption or rejectidfTof
the new Contsitntion for the State of Mary
land came off in .that State on Wednesday
aiidThursday last. In Baltimore the elec
j tion passed off quietly. The whole vote
fof the city was 14,418. The majority for
the New Constitution, in the city, was
i 7,700. 4n election for Mayor of the city
was] also held, and the Urtion candidate
elected by 8,050 majority. l\

then directing the mine under the fence.
They were about five creeks at the business.

Licentiousness of Hood’s Army.
Somehow, says the Savannah RepuplU
can, we can hardly avoid the impression
that the great difference between the Army
of of Virginia and that of Tennessee is in
its diciplinc. It is'notorious that our own
army, while falling back from Dalton, was
even more dreaded by the inhabitants than
the army of Sherman. The soldiers, and
even the officers, took everything that
came in their way, giving the excuse that
if they did not the enemy would. Subse
quently stragglers from our own army al
most sacked the stores of Atlanta. Now
complaints loud and deep come up from
that portion of Georgia in the neighbor
hood of our army, telling ef outrages com
mitted by straggling squads of cavalry,
and of insults offered to the families of
the best and most patriotic citizens. This
straggling —not contined to cavalry—this
pillage, from whichj if report speaks truth,
even officers are not Sfree, besides its intrin
sic wrong, is wholly subversive of discip
line and destructive of all hopes’'of eficien
cy. If not checked by some master spirit
it presents a gloomy prospect of disasters
to come. ; How different from Lee’s army
which, even in a hostile State, behaved it
self with marked propriety. Howdiffer
ent from Sherman’s aripy, which pursued
its stern and ruthless path from Chattar
nooga without strsiggling, and committed
outrages simply as a matter of policy and
in obedience to License is fatal to
discipline and to efficiency.. Even tte
modified license of the Maryland campaign
ruined the cavalry of the army of the
Valley of Uirginia, and it has done noth

force since its return to Virginia.

A Chapter of Accidents
We find the following In the Cambria Tribmmi
“OnMonday morning last, Mr. John (’linger, mi
old citizen of Voder township, met with a violent.
death in the following manner : lie had harnessed
his team for the purpose of moving a family from
Ben's Creek Furnace, and-had loaded his wagon,
when he undehook to exchange the bridle on bis
horses. While doing this, one of the horses be
came frightened, and cbmmenced to-make efforts
to ran away. Mr. C. tried hold him, but. the
horse being without a bridle, he could not do i’,
and was -thrown under the horses' feet, w hen the
team ran away, drawing the loaded wagon over
the prostrate man’s body. One of the w heels passed
over his and another over his head, crush
ing his skull and killing him on the snot.
On Tuesday morning, a little son ofiflecse Reese,
named Caradoc Reese, aged about eight years,
employed in the mines of the Cambria Iron Com
pany, met a shocking death by being thrown from
a nude. He Was riding the animal to the mines,
when it was startled by the noise of fome bo vs,
and jnmping suddenly to one side threw the bov
off. His feet, however, caught in the harness on
the mule, when the animal started on a' full run
back to the stable, dragging the boy several hun
dred yards and dashing his. brains out with Ids
heels as he ran. On the same day, a little son of
Mr. Conrad Aple, residing at I’crkinsville, about
seven years old, while attempting to cross the
canal look at that place on the balance heem. fell
into the lock, and was drowned lieforo assistance

a little German bpy, whose name we did not learn,
while gathering coal on the railroad running to

and killed.

Under this head the Carlisle (Pa.) Herald gives
the following notice of a remarkable.family ; Last
week Hiram B. Beese brought his two sops,''George
and Jerenuah, to Col. Henderson’s office to he
mastered into the United States service. These
two young men are the last of twelve brothers who
have enlisted daring this war, Four of these have
been killed in the service and eight of them are
yet in the army. The most remarkable feature is
yet to come, and we confess our credulity was
somewhat staggered when we heard the statement •
but the respectable character of the father, with
the assertions ofhis neighbors, leave no room for
doubt (that Mr. Reese, after having sent twelve
sons to his country has yet thirteen sons at home,
all’of whom arc under military ago. This re
markable family reside in, Warren township,
Franklin county, of this State. The father is sev
enty-eight years, old, and is enjoying vigorous
health; these boys weVe therchildreo of throe moth

the old tpan exhorted them to he good hovs and
good soldiers, warning them to guard well the, rep

'The'Lynchburg I'iii/mniu contains the follows
Some portions of the sjieech of the
delivered a' .Macon, are unworthy of him, and give
evidence of bad taste and worse teni)ier. Ilis
covert allusions to the great soldier he disgraced
so far as iiis otficialaetibn could effect that end—
an- indelicate, ili-timed, and reprehensible. They
are not in keeping with the dignified silence of the
man who has not, so far as the public know, utter
ed one word otflpmplaml. It may be difficult even
lor die President to make a majority or his fellow
citizens believe that Johnston was incapable of
o- striking an honest and manly blow for Atlanta.”
Many ' ail honest” and many “a manly blow”
did he give, and the To,ooo Yankees killed or hors
flu i-omhat, in the advance to Atlanta, would testi
fy. But let this pass.
I f wc were disposed to act the censor further,
we might add Unit the term ” scoundrel.” applied
lo those who had misrepresented the President's
official m i ion. mast have fallen strangely upm the
ear.- of a large audience, of ladies and gcmlemi-n
assembled in a church, to hear the highest civil
dignitary in dm hind discourse upon public topics
urn! die slate of tile country !’
The announcement by .the President that two
ibirds of die army are absent from thtf field—the
most of them : without leave will lake the
l onuiry by surprise. What could not lliesc men
accomplish now if they were in the lino of duty—
Lf! nvhiitinj I injinian.
■ 'lie most intense excitement and uneasiness has
lieen created in ilie rel>cl capital by the recent
moKun.ni.-. ufour army in Virginia ; all business
was suspended, and even - person capable of bear
ing arms, w orking on the'foni fictitious, or other
wise aiding in repelling Giant’s “ invaders," was
Lurried to .the front. Til e) Enquirer contains ad
vertisements from the : schools stating that they
have been suspended on account of the teachers
being cjm|ic!led to lay down the pen for the sword;
tlte trains <m the railroads were suspended; the
theatres and oilier places <d’.aii*usuinent were all
closed_: tile express companies could make no de
liveiics, tlie clerk- being out with the local forces;
all persons employed in printing offices between
-the ages of sixteen and fifty-five, were ordered to
I’i mull themselves, and an officer appointed to sec
I lien Ibis order was complied with, and all the
I I’liion prisoners- confined in the city weie rapidly
| Inn lied fitffbei- tiouih. Tin; papers by a mistaken
pa re of folly, says die Examiner, were stopped
A horrible slate of society seems to exist in
Ku Imu.ml just (tow. All tile papersdatly contain
’ tit.- pariieiilais p; numerous cases of robbery, gar
rottng, arson, etc. The cases of theft are general
ly of provisions and clothing. In relation to the
groat number of cases of incendiarism the Ex
"iinner of t-aiurday coinaiiis the following,;
The Mayor in continuity with a resolution of
the City Council, lias ottered a reward of one
thousand dollars for the detection of the band of
incendiaries who have contracted with the devil,
or his next kin; Aim Lincoln, to burn down Rich
mond by piecemeal The tender of a reward for
the detection of tlte “oakum ball and turpentine
corps” is well enough, but why not make the sum
fifty thousand at once? Make rae temptation too
strong to lie resisted, and ttie very sense of inse
curity which every idfcndiary will feel lest he be
betrayed.' cause them all to fly the city, if it
docs not hnn,: them to justice!. One thousand
is a mere bagiuellc, which any enterprising thief
itnd.houstdiurupr can clear in a night, without ex
posing himself or his associates and calling upon
llte Mavor for his reward.
Bishop Simpson’s Lecture.
I’dslu.p, Simpson, of the'M. E. Church delivered
a leeture at the re-union of the Ohio and Cincin
nati Methodist Conferences, which look place in
Chillicothco about a mouth ago, before an audi
ence-in which there were mote than three hundred
••preachers. Of the effort on that occasion a cor
respondent of the New York Tribunt gives (he
following account: Bishop Simpson folio vml the
introductory exercises witii a speech an hour and
a half long, without manuscript, in which he heldL
his vasr audience of cultivated Christian gentlemen!
s|K‘ll-bound under hfs'discussion of the four ques
tions ; “Shall pur Government be destroyed ahd
swept from earth ? Can we be divided into two or
more Governments ? Shall we have a now form
of Government ? Is not the nation to rise out Of
it s present trembles hotter, .firmer and more power
ful ?” During the whole of the address of this
wonderful orator, the assembly in deep silende,
hung niton his lips, save, when applause whs
struck out of them as with blows of magnetism.?—
But a scene the delivery of his prepara
tion that will m«k4Hph* occasion memorable to
every one-vvho attended if. An eye witness says.-
Laving his hands'on the torn and bajl-riddled
colors of the 73d Ohio, ho spoke of the baftle-fielids
whore they had been baptized ip blood, and dc
serilied theirheaufy as some small patch of azure
filled with stars, that an angel had snatched from
the heavenly canopy to set the stripes in blood.?—
With this description began a scene that lfemos
then-. s might have envied. All over the vilst
assembly handkerchiefs and hats were waved, and,
before the speaker sat down the whole thrortg
arose, as by a magic influence, and screamed aftd
shouted, and saluted, and stamped, and clapped
and wept, and laughed in wild Excitement. Col’
Moody, spijrng f« the top of a bench .and galled for
the ’'SmrrSpangled Banner; which was aungEr
rather shouted, until theuitdiencedispersed.
