" Monitor" Falsehoods,
A communication ' appears in the
Monitor of last week, in which the
charge is made that Mr. Etnier, the
Union candidate for the Legislature,
"charged our militia soldiers two prices
for articles which were, to them, indis
pensfble, and overchargerl the poor fel
lows for the priviledge of sleeping in his
bark shed." The communication the'
dated at Shirleysburg, was manufac
tured at the "Monitor" office by one
of the several editors who have no
love for the soldier, or desire to see
tkle, rebellion put down in any other
way than may be dictated by such
traitors as Vallandigham, Seymour,
Woodward & Co. We have seen sev
eral of the soldiers who enjoyed Mr.
Etider's hospitality during the rebel
raid excitement in that part of the
county, every one of whom stamps
the "Monitor's", assertions as base
falsehoods. In the first place, Mr. Et
myer has not got a bark shed, and in
the second place, the following per
sons will testify that they occupied his
beds and his parlors at night, and eat
otitis bread and whatever could be
furnished, free of charge : Col. J. J.
Lawrence, Capt. Wallace, J. M. Baily,
Wm. Africa, Saml. T. Brown, P. C.
Swoope, Saml. A. Steele, B. W. Con
rad, W. A. Stapleton, John McCahn.
Other names could be given, but we
think the above sufficient to satisfy
the people that the assertions of the
"Monitor" traitors are false. It is un
necessary for us to. say that the persons
we name are worthy of belief—some
of them have seen much service, and
are well known to most of the people
of the county—what they say can be
relied upon as truth.
The reader may ask, why resort to
such base means by the Monitor fac
tion to defeat Mr. Etnier? The ques
tion is answered by the fact that R.
Milton Speer expects to be a candidate
for Chief Clerk of the House of Repre
sentatives next winter, and it is im
portant to him to have a member
there from this county he can sell, or
make use of to gain his point. Ho
made-his election last winter to the
Assistant Clerkship through little John
Cesna; by selling out the "Democrat
ic" party to him, as an applicant for
the " Democratic" nomination for Gov
ernor. But John will not be there this
winter—so Milton must elect Zentmy
or, or he will go before the Rouse with
out any " trade in hand." Mr. Zent
myer cannot :be elected by fair means
—therefore Milton, who would rather
cut his throat than go into the Union
army, will resort to moans the most
foul to defeat Mr. Etnier: Mr. Zent
myor may be perfectly honest in his
intentions, but in the bands of Speer,
& Co., whose tool he would be if elect
ed,, his every vote and public het
would be theirs, and the people can
have a very clear idea of what would
be his course.
Mr• Etnier would not be the tool of
any man—he is himself a man—a strict
business man, an honest and loyal
man—and capable of discharging the
duties of a representative. If the vo
ters fail to elect him, the loss to them
would be greater than to him. Wo

What is Involved to the State Election
While thousands of our fellow-citi
zens, says the Harrisburg Telegraph,
are absent in the field, contending in a
death struggle with armed traitors, the
spectacle of a divided people at home
is perhaps the most humilliating of all
the results of the war. "Why is this
division tolerated ? " ask the people of
friendly nations. "It is the evidence
of the instability of Republican
institutions," insist our foreign aristo
cratic neighbors. "Have the national
or State Governments no power or in
fluence to change such a condition of
affairs? "beseechingly inquire the timid
friends of civil liberty—and thus from
foreign friend and fee to domestic con
servative or neutral, this seeming di
vision among the people of the free
States is 'misunderstood, and used to
advance the evil purposes of the
demagogues in our midst, and the ty
rants abroad. We do not choose to
regard thisdiv Won as absolutely an evil.
Wo do not pretend to believe, nor
would wo have others do so, that the
adverse sentiment which prevails in
certain sections ofpennsylvania, to the
war, to the soldiers, and to the state
or national administrations, is capable
of the least harm—as long as it is di
vesteclof power. Wo would much rather
that men should avow than sup
press their treasonable sentiments.—
Wo would much rather that the traitors
' in the Democratic party should be out
spoken than silent on the subject of
the war, because while such men as
these aro thus frankly engaged in pro
claiming their treason, loyal men can
also be employed in counteracting the
influence and preparing at all hazards
to enforce the law when it is defied or
resisted.
With this view of the campaign now
waging in Pennsylvania, for the Guber
natorial succession, and for the various
other State and local officers, we know
exactly what is involved in the contest.
The mere election of a man to office—
his investment with the poWer of a lo
cal position of nominal ,trust, is not
what is actually involved In the con
test. It is not merely the effect which
the election, one way or the other, as
the result may decide, will have upon
Pennsylvania. In this particular, that
result will of course ho immense for
good or evil ; but it is not the sole
Influence which the contest is expected
to wield. That influence will extend
beyond the mere continuance or change
in the State Government, and continuo
or change the entire current of affairs
now accompanying our operations
against rebellion. If George W. Wood
ward is elected Governor, of course
the result will
.be a benefit to the trai
tors in arms. This is natural. The po
sition which Woodward now occupies
is entirely adverse to the position as
' sumed by the State and National Gov
ernments in reference to the suppres
sion of the rebellion. Woodward
insists that the slave! holders have
rights and interests which transcend
those of any class or which oven
exceed those of the Government itself.
To defend these, the slave holders are
justified, by Woodward in rebellion. On
the other hand, if Andrew G. Curtin
is re-elected Governor, it will bd:an en
dorsement of the policy to suppress
rebellion. The influence of that en
dorsement will be felt abroad. It Will
convince the traitors in arms that the
traitors in sympathy have no power
in the loyal States. It will prove to
loyal men in arms that the loyal men
at home aro not unmindful of their
duty to the Government. It will
demonstrate to tho governments of the
world that the free States are devoted
to the national authority—and it will
ho the signal evidence of a free people
determined to sustain those in autho
rity in their efforts to suppress reboil
ion.
With all these immense interests
involved in the election for Governor;
we cannot gee how any man, who has
at heart the destiny and the peace of
the country, can refuse to, vote for
Andrew G. Curtin. Upon his election
depends, in a great measure,the success
of the policy to put down rebellion,
and upon the suppression of rebellion,
the entire and absolute overthrow of
the traitor dynasty at Richmond,
depend the future security and pros
perity of the people of Pennsylvania.
OUR CANDIDATE FOR SENATOR.—It is
very gratifying to all Union men to
know that they have one of the most
unexceptionable men in the district as
their candidate for Senator. We hoar
from districts in Bedford county,
where ;Mx. Householder is best known,
that he will receive the support of
many of the best men of tho party op
posed to him politically. Ho is honest,
capable, and unconditionally for the
Union. Ho should receive the vote
of every man opposed to corruption
in our Legislature, and opposed to the
rebellion and traitors.

The October Election,
All that is needed is that the masses
of the people be aroused to the impor
tance of the earning election, and that
the fall vote of the State be brought
out. If this be done, Governor Curtin
will be re-elected by a magnificent
majority. The absence of the Penn
sylvania soldiers, who are all his
friends, will deprive him of a great
many votes; but the friends of the
soldiers remaining at home are still
quite numerous enough to overwhelm
the supporters of Judge Woodward.
Lot the loyal people in Pennsylva
nia boar in mind that the enemies of
the country, North . and South, despair
ing of defeating the Union armies and
fleets, are hoping for a Union defeat
at the ballot-box in Pennsylvania.—
They are praying and laboring for the
election of Judge Woodward, who, in
the pamphlet copy of his speech at the
Independence Square meeting, Phila
delphia, in 1801, says that "negro sla
very is an incalculable blessing" who
called upon his hearers to "rise and re
assert the rights of the slaveholders ;"
and who said, a little further on in the
same speech, "We hear it said let the
South go peaceably. Isay LET ITER CIO
PEACEABLY !" These arc the spoken ;
written and printed sentiments of the
candidate whom the Democratic poli
ticians have presented for the suffrages
of the people of Pennsylvania.
The great mass of the Democracy
of Pennsylvania are not Copperheads;
but the doctrines of Judge Woodward
are thoroughly Copperhead, and if
they should be beguiled into voting
for him, they may be instrumental in
putting into the executive chair an
avowed friend of slavery, and an open
mouthed secessionist. If such a calam
ity should occur, the rebel leaders of
the South might be content to lose
Vicksburg, Port Hudson, and even'
Charleston ; for they might claim a
victory in Pennsylvania that would
offset all these. But we do not ap
prehend such a disaster as the loss of
the October election. Governor Cur
tin ban the confidence and affection of
the people of Pennsylvania, and they
will come out in all their strength and
elect him triumphantly, and put a
complete extinguisher upon Copper
headism in the State.
The Late Elections,
Two elections have taken place,
which we believe foreshadow the re
sults of those that aro yet to occur this
fall. In the city of Wilmington, Dela
ware, the unconditional Union men
have carried their candidates for May
or, City Council, Treasurer, Assessor,
Inspector and Aldermen. Not a sin
gle pro-slavery Democrat was elected,
in spite of quite frantic _efforts made
by the Copperhead leaders and their
newspaper organ.
The other election was in the State
of Vermont, whore the Union ticket
has boon carried triumphantly. The
Governor and other State officers, all
the Congressmen, all the Senate and
all the Representatives chosen except
two, are Union men. The Peace De
mocrats have been terribly routed, al
though they labored with a zeal that
they have rarely shown, in Vermont
at least. They got all their strength
out, while it is known that the Union
party, feeling sure of success, did not
think it necessary to make great exer
tions. Thus the vote of the State is
about 8,000 less than it was in 1860,
and yet the Union majority is as heavy
as it was then.
These results in Delaware and Ver
mont should encourage and stimulate
the friends of the Union in Pennsylva
nia to still greater exertions for suc
cess at the October election. The
Copperheads will neglect nothing to
carry this State; for it is of more im
portance to them than any other in
which elections are to be bold, We
must emulate the example - of our
friends in Wilmington and in Vermont.
Wo must elect Curtin by a rousing
majority, which shall toll upon the
rebels, North and South, with as stun
ning an effect as the full of Vicksburg.

CUICAGO, Sept. 2.—The following is
President Lincoln's letter to the Spring
field Mass Meeting :
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, A ugust 26, 1863
Iron. James a Conkling Dear
Sir:—Your letter inviting me to attend
a mass meeting of unconditional Union
men, to be held at the capital of Illi
nois, on the 3d day of September, has
been received.
It would be very agrooablo to me
thus to meet my old friends at my own
home, but I cannot just now be absent
from this city so long as a visit there
would require. The meeting is to be
of all those who maintain uncondition
al devotion to the Union, and lam
sure that my old political friends will
thank me for tendering, as I do, the
nation's gratitude to those other noble
mon whom no partisan malice or par
tisan hope can make false to the na
tion's life.
There are those who are dissatisfied
with me. To such I would say, "You
desire peace, and you blamo me that
we do not have it. But how can we
attain it? There aro but three con
ceivable ways: First, To suppress tho
rebellion by force of arms. This lam
trying to do. Arc you for it? Ifyou
are, so far we are agreed. If you aro
not for it, we are not agreed. A sec
ond way is to give up the Union. I
am against this. If you are, you
should say so plainly. If you are not
for force, nor yet for dissolution, there
only remains some. imaginary compro
mise. Ido not believe that any Om
promise embracing the maintenance of
the Union is now possible. All that I
learn leads to a directly opposite be
lief. The strength of tile rebellion is
its military—its army. That army
dominates all the country and all the
people within its range. Any offer of
terms mado by any man or mon with
in that range, in opposition to that ar
my, is simply nothing for the present,
bccauso such man or men have no
power whatever to enforce their side
of a compromise, if one were made
with them. To illustrato—suppose
refugee from the South and the peace
men of the North get together in Con
vention, and frame and proclaim a
compromise embracing a restoration
of the Union men, in what way can
that compromise be used to keep Gen.
Leo's army out of Pennsylvania?—
Gen. blonde's army can keep Lee's ar
my out of Pennsylvania, and I think
can ultimately drive it out of existence;
but no paper compromise, to which
the controllers of General Lee's army
aro not agreed, can at all effect that
army. In an effort at such compro
mise we would waste the time which
the enemy would improve to our dis
advantage, and that would be all.
A compromise, to be effective, must
be made either with those who control
the rebel army, or with the people,
first liberated from the domination of
that army by the success of our army.
Now, allow 711 C to assure you that no
word or intimation from the rebel army
or front any of the men controlling it, in
relation to any peace compromise, has
ever conic to my knowledge or belief. All
charges and intimations to the contrary
are (leapt vie and groundless, and I pro
mise you, that if any suck proposition
shall hereafter come, it shall not be re
jected and kept secret
.from you. I freely
acknowledge myself to be the servant
of the people, according to the bond of
service, the United States Constitution,
and that as such I am responsible to
them.
But, to be plain, you ;we dissatisfied
with me, about tho negro. Quito like
ly there is a difference of opinion be
tween you and myself upon that sub
ject. I certainly wish that all men
could be free, while you, 1 suppose, do
not. Yet have neither adopted nor
proposed any measure which is not
consistent with oven your views, pro.
vided you are for the Union. I sug
gested compensated emancipation; to
which you replied that you wished not
to be taxed to buy negroes. But I
had not asked you to be taxed to buy
negroes, except in such a way as to
save you from greater taxation to save
the Union exclusively by other means.
You dislike the emancipation procla
mation, and perhaps you want to
have it retracted. You say it is un
constitutional. I think differently. I
think that the Constitution invests its
Commander-in-Chief with the law of
war in time of war. The most that
can be said, if so much is, that slaves
aro property.
Is there, has there over been, any ques
tion that by the law of war the prop
erty, both of enemies and friends, may
be taken when needed, and is it not
needed whenever taken it helps us
or hurts the enemy? Armies, the
world over, destroy enemies' property
when they cannot use it, and even de
stroy their own to keep it from the
enemy. Civilized belligerents do all
in their power to help themselves or
hurt the enemy; except a few things
regarded as barbarous or cruel.—
Among the exceptions are the massa
cre of vanquished foes and non-com
batants, male and female. But the
proclamation, as law, is valid or not
valid. If it is not valid, it needs no
retraction; if it is valid, it cannot be
retracted any more than the dead can
be brought to life. Some of you pro
fess to think that its retraction would
operate favorably for the Union, Why
better after the retraction than before
the issue ?
There was more than a year and a
half for trial to suppress the rebellion
before the proclamation was issued;
the last one hundred days of wliich
passed under an explicit notice that it
was coming unless averted by those in
revolt returning to their allegiance.—
The war has certainly progressed as
favorably for us since the issue of the
proclamation as before. I know as
fully as one can know the opinion of
others, that some of the commanders
of our armies in the field who have
given us our most important victories,
believe the emancipation policy and
the aid of colored troops consti'n te the
heaviest blows yet dealt, to the rebel
lion ; and that at least one of those im
portant successes could not have been
achieved when it was, but for the aid of
black soldiers. Among the commanders
holding these views are some who
have never had any affinity with what
is called Abolitionism, or with the Re
publican party politics, but who hold
them purely as military opinions. I .
submit their opinion as being entitled
to some weight against the objections
often urged that emancipation and the
arming of the blacks are unwise as
military measures, and were not adop
ted as such in good flab. You say
that you will net fight to free negro&
Some of them seem to be willing to
fight for you ; but no matter—fight
you, then, exclusively, to save the Un
ion.
I issued the prochtmation on purpose
to aid you in saving the Union. When
ever you shall have conquered all resis
tance to the Union, if I shall urge you to
continue fighting, it will be an apt time
then for you to declare that you will not
fight to free negroes. I thought that, in
your straggle for the Union, to what
ever extent the negroes should cease
helping the enemy, to that extent it
weakened the enemy •in his resistance
to you. Do you think differently?
thought that whatever negroes can be
got to do as soldiers, leaves just so
much loss for white Soldiers to do in
saving the Union. Does it appear
otherwise to you 7 But Degrees, like
other people, act upon motives. Why
! should they do anythint , for ns, if we
will do nothing for them 7 If they
stake their lives for us, they must be
prompted by the strongest motives—even
the promise of freedom; and the promise
being made, must be kept.
Tho signs look better. The Father I
of Waters again goes unve.xed to the
sea; thanks to the great Northwest
for it; nor yet wholly to them. Three
hundred miles up they met New Eng
land, the Empire, the Keystone, and
New Jersey, bowing their way, right
and left. The sunny South, too, in
more colors than one, also lent a hand,
on the spot; their part of the history
was jotted down in black and white.
The job was a great national ono; and
let none be banned who bore an hon
orable part in it, while those who have
cleared the groat river may well be
proud.
Even that is not all.- It is hard to
say that anything has been more
bravely and better done than at An
tietam, Murfreesboro, Gettysburg, and
on many fields of less note. Nor must
Uncle Sam's web-feet be forgotten.—
At all the water's margins they have
been present, not only on the deep sea,
the broad bay, and the rapid river, but
also up the narrow, muddy bayou, and
wherever the ground was a little
damp they have been and made their
tracks. Thanks to all ! For the Great
Republic—for the principles by which
it lives and keeps alive—for man's
vast future; thanks to all!
Peace does not appear so distant as
it did. I hope it will come soon, and
come to stay, and so come as to be
worth the keeping in all future time.
It will then have been proved that
among freemen there can be no suc
cessful appeal from the ballot to the
bullet, and that they who take such
appeal are sure to lose their case and
pay the cost; and then there will be
some black men who can remember
that, with silent tongue, and clenched
teeth, and steady eye, and well-poised
bayonet, they have helped mankind on
to this great consummation, while I
fear that there will be sorim white men
unable to forget that, with malignant
heart and deceitful speech, they have
striven to hinder it. Still, let us not
be over-sanguine of a speedy final tri
umph. Let us be quite sober. Let us
diligently apply the means, never
doubting that a just God, in his own
good time, will give us the rightful re
sult. Yours, very truly,
A. LINCOLN-

exposing the treason of tho organiza

supportparty, but to the thinking men
of the country it will not bo neivs. We
have long 81/ICO denounced the Organ

WASIIINGTON, Sept. gd, 18133.—The,
expedition under Gun. Kilpatrick, sent
out a few days since, to recapture, in
conjunction with the navy, the gun
boats Satellite and Reliance, which re
cently fell into the hands of the rebels,
was, so far as the cavalry is.concerned,
successful.
On Tuesday evening General Kil
patrick arrived on this side of the riv
er, at Port Conway, and brilliantly
dashed 'upon the enemy's pickets un
der Col. Low. The rebels did not even
make If show of resistance, but rushed
into a number of flat-boats, in the
wildest confusion, and landed safely
on the opposite bank. If they had
made a show of fight, they would
most likely have been captured.
After the escape of the enemy, Gen.
Kilpatrick waited two hours for the
co-operation of the navy, which'is un
derstood to have been agreed upon.—
The vessels did not arrive, and ,Gonl.
Kilpatrick ordered a battery to open
fire upon the gunboats Reliance and
Satellite. This was done at the dis
tance of six hundred and fifty yards.—
The enemy immediately abandoned
the gunboats, very fortunately for
themselves, for only a few moments
elapsed before the Satellite was in a
sinking condition, and rho Reliance
rendered useless. Both boats were
completely riddled by shot and shell.
The force under Kilpatrick consisted
entirely of cavalry and two batteries
of artillery. The Satellite Is sunk,
and the Reliance so completely disa
bled as to be beyond hope of being re
paired by the rebels.
