! defeat, tq the State,, although really no
*' disadvantage to himself. He had no
desire to-be a candidate; but his nom- j
ination thrust upon him . by his
‘ party.-' 'Mr. Speaker, . you -were not

yourself to your fate.
Escape of a Murderer.
Our community was Startled on
VTednesday eveiii ng last by the report
that Eli F. Sheets, convicted at tfee
-j last term of our Court of the murder
of Mr. John Ansley. had made his
escape from , the Jail in this place,
where he was confined under the keep
’ ihg of Sheriff Roberts. -
A reward of Five Hundred Dollars
is offered for bis apprehension; but up
to the hour of going to press no intel
, ligcnce has been received of his where-
and we suppose never 1 will joe.
It is generally supposed that he lias
made his way towards “Dixie,!’ ,as
■ ' that would bo thc natural course for a
young gentleman of his inclination to
tend.;
How he escaped is ptiil a matter of'
fome surpriso. It is thought by many
that he-.was assisted by persons out
side, as a rope and part of a key are
said to have been .found on the prem
ises; the latter,to Assist in opening the
door of the jail, the former to enable
him to clamber over the .walls. At
all events he is now at lairge, and will
make desperate efforts to prevent a
recapture. , 1
j Sheets is a young man twenty years
I' of age, about 5 /eet 9 inches - high;
j walks,very erect;'fair hair, light cora
| plexion, high cheek bones, hazel eyes.
S' and a deep dimple in his chin. 1 His
i chin and the'corners ot his mouth
| were broken out in pimples. Hehas
J' an effeminate-voice, and'his face wasj
very pale from long imprisonment.
■ 1 writing the above, we learn
■ - that the jailer, Daniel Dumbarington,
has been arrested upon the charge of
aiding the prisoner in bis escape". , j
P. S. We stop the press to announce
; that Sheefts has been arrested in the
. ’ house of a . highly rcspeetable lamih
\ in this place, and is again confined in
"
The triumph of the Hughes iParty
in the States off .Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Indiana, isf to be accounted for
upon one 'single hypothesis,, vizr the
absence of the Republicans in the ar
my. The State of Pennsylvania has
furnished more than One Hundred
Thousand soldiers for fne war, and, by
far the: greater portion of them are of
the> party- that supports and! upholds
the Government.:' Wo have suffered
a temporary reverse, from- the fact
that our forces have been divided, a
f p»rt fighting the enemy abroad find
a part fighting the enemy at home,
V In view of this fact, the silly yapor
ings of such papers-ash the Beaver
Star only excite emotions of disgust
in the minds of sensible persons.—,
Theyare well aware [that had the
votes of the Soldiers, who .have offer
ed-their lives freely upon the altar of
our country, heed polled, the Democ
racy would have been defeated in near
ly every Congressional District in this
State, as well as in those of Ohio and
Indiana. In this [ Congressional
District for instance,- the'Reputlicans
have more than 4000 soldiers in the
field, while we question if the Democ
racy have much over 1200. This
alone would give ns about 2000 major
ity over them; and which wo shall
have, when-our, gallant heroes, who
have been deprived by a Democratic
Supreme Court of their votes whilq
defending the very members of that
Court from-invasion, from pillage and
‘ destruction, shall return once more to
their homes.
In conclusion, we beg leave to quote
the following as exceedingly apropos
to the present occasion, from the X.
Y. Triluhe, in speakftig of the effects
■ ofthesegreat victories which the De
li -'O'; r
; mocraey are so;exultant over just at
[this time:. , j - .

To those who are horrified; at the
bare mention cf'the negroes as sol.
diers, we commend the following from
the Richmond Examiner j 'Oct 18.
The cause of the is also
psjetty plainly set tortlf.hy this organ
of Jeff. Davis: 1 i i v (
■ We" notice that in' Texas-and in
some portions of the Mississippi valley,
the pjbposition is urged to make a
conscription or forced levy of" slaves,
where their labors; are necessary in
the army., Sincelthe invasion oh the
Smith the Yankees stolen tens
of thousand of, negroes, and made
them useful as teamsters, laborers in
camps, &c. It appears that slave
[holders arc averse for some reason to
j hire their negroes in the- Confederate
I army. The prejudice is certainly an
ignqiant'and mean one As the tear
originated, and is carried on in a great
pta rt fort he defence 0 the slaveholder and
']sis ■property,- rights and perpetuation of
the institution, it is - Reasonable to sup
pose that ho ought to be first and
foremost in aiding and assisting, by
every means in his' power, the triumph
and success of our aims. Goodwages
are and proper care and at
tention will be given, every negro hired
tq the army, and the slaveholder ought
to remember that for every negro he
thus Ifurnishes he puts a soldier in the
. rank. ■ ; '

. tatjGen. Rosecrans, bybis late bril
liant at Oorinth, and-th|e', ex
cellent style in which he followed
that victory np, has won golden]opin
ionseverywhere. One of the uncal.
culated results of Ilosecrans’ energy
is, that the Louisville t/bumnf'has read
tfaprein -a lesson which it ean. apply
.with good effect to %ell. Does it
not mean that in the foHotvingJ?—
Gen. Rosecriins has entitled himself
to a vast measure of gratitude, by
showing to, the rest of the generals of
the United States how the advantages
of victory ! should be -used., ilf such
an example as his had been sot in the
early part of the war, and faithfully'
followed,; afterward, we believe that
the rebellion would ere this have been
closed up and closed out. Thbre cab
bo no military' fact more indisputable
than that an enemy beaten and prip
plcd in battle should be instanlly and
vigorously followed up,.pressed upon,
harrasacd, and knocked from pillar to
post and'.from post to pillar, until he
is utterly {broken up and broken down.
It is fortunate that we have jat least
one general who, when ho gains a
victory, knows what to do with it.
—ln the same paper in which the
eulogy appears, the leading Editorial
article commences thus:
; 2817
2850
; “Our hopes are not realized by the
news from Buell and Bragg. It ap
pears,that, cn passing through or be
yond Crab Orchard, Bragg was about
seventeen miles abend of Buell. Wo
doubt veiy much now whether Buell
can catch Bragg at all, unless the
latter "deliberately chooses! to be
caught’? * 1
The ; TH* Soldiisrs Vote.— T?he*
Democrats have bee.n making a- great
boast that they Jiavo furnished more
men to the pinion army than the Eo
l ablicans; bat whenever votes have
been taken amongthe regiments, the
Republicans have large majorities. . In'
October, 1861, there were 14,524 votes
polled in Perjnsylvunia regiments, and
of those '.11,50l were Bepnblilcan, and
only 3,173 Democrats. In the 123 d
I Penn’a regiment, polls were opened
on the last election day and there were
202 Union .votes to thirtyj>nd Demo
cratic. In the 125tb regiment, now on
Mainland Ileights, there was also on
election, and 187 votes were cast for
the Union candidates, andl only 27
for the Democratic. The lowa regi
ments that ttere in that State on lhe
late election} day voted 4,5G0 for tboi
Republican ticket and 1,148 : for the
Democratic. Every .military ''rote
that we have seen shows correspond
ing results, and, doubtless, V similar
proportion exists throughout all the
regiments from the free States; Is it
any .wonder that the’ Democrats have
gained considerably , in the; 'recent
alefetion in this State, Indiana andi
Ohio-7
