The Late Election.
The majority for Governor Curtin* .
is somewhat over fifteen thousand.—
This is not a - great deal in a poll of
over five hundred thousand; but when
all the circumstances aro considered,
it shows a great triumph. The Na
tional Union party in this State, in
cludingthe State Administration, have
been for the last two or three years
devoting themselves to the war and
the support of the Federal Administra
tion. The bogus Democratic politi
cians, however, have been devoting
th i pmselves to preparations for this
election. For three years, their great
aim has been to carry Pennsylvania
in October, 1863. To effect this, they
have labored to make the National ad
ministration and the war unpopular.—
They discouraged enlistments among
their friends, but not complained of en
listments among loyal men. They
have made political capital out of the
draft and all the other measures adop
ted for carrying on the war. Vallan
digham's case was used with effect
among the more ignorant portion of
their• adherents; and every one of the
stern measures adopted by the Presi
dent to resist the rebellion and its
supporters in the loyal States, was used
to make votes for the bogus Democra
tic candidates. Military reputations
were employed, and in some eases to
tally sacrificed to make Woodward
votes. These and countless other ex
pedients were used to carry Pennsyl
vania; and all the time, the loyal peo
ple of the State were using their time
and labor in the support of the Ad
ministration and the encouragement
of the war against the rebels. That
the National Union party should have
succeeded at all, under such circum
stances, is surprising ; that the election
should have been carried by fifteen
thousand majority, while forty or fifty
thousand loyal voters are in the army
Mid unable to vote, is matter for won
dor and rejoicing. The rosfilt is
glori
ous for the present, but mu(l3 more so
for the future. If Pennsylvania had
been carried by the bogus Democracy
this year, the State Administration
would have been turned against the
President, and the power of the State
would also have been used in prepara
tions for the Presidential election of
next year•, so as to secure the choice
of a man of the Woodward and Val
landightnn stamp. This was ono
grand object the copperhead leaders
had in making such extraordinary ef
forts to carry the State. They have
been defeated, and the administrations
of Governor Curtin and President
Lincoln have had the best proof that
the people of Pennsylvania are detor
mined to stand by them, and to give
them all the aid they need for the pro
secution of the war against the rebels.
New Proofs of Vallandigham's
Treason.
The following letter, according to
the Cincinnati papers, was recently
captured in Tennessee, among the bag
gage of a rebel officer :
DEAR COLONEL : Your kind note and
invitation of yesterday was this morn
ing handed me by your brother-in-law,
who will band you this in return. It
would give me much pleasure to visit
you and your command before leaving
the Confederacy, but it is now impos
sible for me to do so, as I have made
arrangements to start this A. M. with
the earliest train to Wilmington.
You surmise correctly when you say
that you believe me to be the friend of
the South in her struggle for freedom.
'3ly feelings have been publicly expres
sed in my own country, in that quota
tion from Lord Chatham—"My lords,
you cannot conquer America.". There
is not a drop of Puritan blood in my
veins. I hate, despise, and defy the
tyrannical Government which has sent
me among you, for my opinion's sake,
and shall never give it my support in
its crusade upon your institutions.—
But you aro mistaken when you say
there are but few such in the United
States, North. Thousands are there
who would speak out wore it not for
the military despotism that strangles
them.
Although the contest has been, and
will continuo to be, a bloody ono, you
have but to persevere, and the victory
will surely bo yours• You must strike
home! The defensive policy length
ens the contest. The shortest road to
peace is the boldest ono. You can
have your own terms by gaining the
battle on your enemy's soil.
Accept my kind regard for your per
sonal welfare, and sincere thanks for
your kind wishes in my behalf, and
hoping and praying for the ultimate
success of the cause in which you aro
fighting, believe me, as over, your
friend, C. L. VALLANDIOHAM.

Democrats of this State have defended

voted for had they been in Ohio.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.
WASHINCITON, Oct. 3.—By the Pres
ident of the United States of America.
A PROCLAMATION.
The year that is drawing to its close
has been filled with the blessings of
fruitful fields and healtl(ul skies. To
these bounties, which are so constant
ly enjoyed that we are prone to for
got the source from which they come,
others have been added which are of
so extraordinary a nature that they
cannot fail to penetrate and soften
even the heart which is habitually in
sensible to the ever watchful provi
dence of Almighty God. In the midst
of a civil war of unequalled magni
tude and severity, which has some
times to invite and provoke the ag
gressions of foreign States, peace has
been preserved with all nations, order
has been maintained, laws have been
respected and obeyed, and harmony
has prevailed everywhere excet in While
thattheatre of military conflict.
that theatre has been greatly contract
ed by theadvaneing armies and navies
of tho Union The needful diversions
of wealth and strength, from the fields
of peaceful industry, to the national
defence, have not arrested the plow,
the shuttle, or the ship. The axe has
enlarged the borders of our settlements,
and the mines, as well of iron and coal
as the precious metals, have yielded
even more abundantly than hereto
fore. The population has steadily in
creased, notwithstanding the waste
that has boon made in the camp, the
siege and the battlefield, and the coun
try, rejoicing in the conscientiousness
of augmented strength and vigor, is
permitted to expect a continuance of
years, with a large increase of freedom
no human counsel bath designed. Not
withstanding the mortal hand had
worked on these great things, they
are gracious gifts of the Most High
God, who, while dealing with us in an
ger for our sins, bath nevertheless re
remembered mercy. It has seemed to
me fit and proper that they should bo
solemnly, reverently and gratefully
acknowledged as with one heart and
voice by the whole American people.
I do, therefore, invite my fellow eiti
"zoos in all parts of the United States,
and also those who are at sea and
those who are sojourning in fbreign
lands, to set apart and observe the last
Thursday in November next as a day
of thanksgiving and prayer to our be
nificent Father who (loth re4ide in the
heavens, and I recommend them that,
while offering up they ascriptions just
ly duo to him for suet. singular deliv
erances and blessings,- -ther-oo—atso
with humble penitence for our nation
al perverseness and disobedience com
mend to his tender care all those who
have become widows and orphans or
suffering in the civil strife in which we
are unavoidably engaged, and fervent
ly implore the interposition of the Al
mighty hand to preserve the health
of the nation and to restore it, as soon
as it may be consistent with the di
vine purposes, to the full enjoyment
of peace, harmony, tranquility and
Union.
In testimony wherof I have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, this
third day of October, in the year of our
Lord 1863, and of the independence of
the United States the eighty oightli.
` A. LINCOLN.
Wm. H. SEWARD, Sec'y of State,
"Man rules but God overrules."
"Cod moves In a mysterious way,
Ms wonders to perform."
When the present rebellion broke
out, a large portion of ' the people of
the United States were opposed to in
termeddling with slavery in the States
where it existed ; but the necessities
of war have driven them to the con
viction that slavery, beimg the cause
of the war, must be abolished, "wiped
out," to insure a permanent peace.
Mr. LINCOLN started off with the in
tention of saving the country and sla
very both—the necessities of war have
compelled him to give his Proclama
tion of Emancipation to save the eon n
try.
Missouri, Maryland, Tennessee and
other border States started out, like
kuights•orrant, to fight for Slavery—
they are now earnestly engaged in the
cause of emancipation.
Virginia, too, started out with shield
and banner to do valiantly for slavery
and rebellion—she is now divided in
to nearly equal parts, one of which is
warmly for the Union and emancipa
tion, the other a desolate waste.
JEFF. DAVIS, the chief conspirator,
and founder of a confederation, whose
corner stone was slavery, has become
an Abolitionist, and issued his procla
mation, giving freedom to five hun
dred thousand nogroes and fifty acres
of land to each, on condition they will
help him fight the North ! "Help,
nigger, or I sink !" cries this Cmsar, as
loudly as did tho old Roman.
Thus God has made the wrath of
man to fulfil His mighty designs, 'and
the groat Confederate champion of
slavery to become an instaumont of ab
olition in His hands.
Truly, we may again say,
"God moves in a mysterious way,
Ills wonders to perform."

-PERSEVERE.-
A Remarkable Article on "Peace."
WA MIN° TON, 'Tuesday, Oct. 20.
The Richmond Enquirer, of the 16th
instant, contains the following editori
al, entitled "Peace," which must pro
foundly interest alike the friends and
enemies of the country :
Save on our own terms, we can ac
cept no peace whatever, and must fight
till doomsday rather than yield an iota
of them, and our terms aro :
Recognition by the enemy of the in-
dependence of the Confederate States.
Withdrawal of tho. Yankee forces
from every foot of Confederate ground
including Kentucky 'and Missouri.
Withdrawal of the yankee soldiers
from Maryland, until that State shall
decide by a free vote whether she shall
remain in the old Union, or ask ad
mission into the Confederacy.
Consent on the part of the Federal
Government to give up to the Confed
eracy-its proportion of the navy as it
stood at the time of secession, or to
pay for the Caine.
Yielding up of all pretensions on the
part of the Federal Government to
that portion of the old Territories
which lies west of the Confederate
States.
An equitable settlement, on the ba-
Vis of our absolute independence and
equal rights, of all accounts attic pub
lic debt and public lands, and the ad
vantages accruing front foreign trea
ties :
These provisions, we apprehend,
comprise the minimum of what we
must require before we lay down our
arms; that is to say, the North must
yield all—we nothing. The whole
pretension of that country to prevent
by force the separation of the States
must be abandoned, which will be e
quivalent to an avowal that our one
tides were wrong front the first, and
of course, as they waged a causeless
and wicked war upon us, they ought
in strict justice to be required, accor
ding to usage in such cases, to reim
burse to us the whole of our expenses
and losses in the course of that war.
Whether this lank proviso is to be in
sisted upon or not, certain we are that
we cannot have any peace at all until
we shall be in a position not only to
demand and exact, but also to enforce
and collect, treasure for our own reim
bursement out of the wealthy cities in
the enemy's country. In other words
unless we can destroy or scatter their
armies, and break up their Govern
ment, We eau linvo no'scc...Tand if we
cati do that, then we ought not only
to extort i'rom them our own full terms
-ant - ninplo — lialiOwledgement of their
wrong, butt also a h„ndsome indemni
ty for the trouble and expense caused
to us by their crime.
NOW, we are not yet in position to
dictate those terms to our enemies,
with Rosecran's army still in the heart
of our country. and Meade still on the
Virginia soil ;Int though it is too soon
to propose skit conditions to them,
yet it is important that wo should keep
them plainly before our own eyes as
the only admissible basis of any con
ceivable peace. This well fixed in the
Confederate mind, there will be no
more fearful looking for news from
Europe, as if that blessed peace were
to come to us over the sea, and not to
ho conquered. on our own ground.
There will be no more crapitig_foilaintc
of recognition - nal - filling of the belly
,with the east wind; no more distrac
tion or diversion front the single me
mentions business of bracing up every
nerve and sinew of the country for
battle.
It is especially now, at the moment
when great and perhaps decisive bat
tles are impending at two or three
points, that we think it most essential
to insist upon the grand and entire
magnificence of the stake and cause.
Once more we say, it is all or noth
ing. This Confederacy or the Yan
kee nation, one or other, goes down,
down to perdition. That is to say,
one or the other must forfeit, its na
tional existence, and lie at the mercy
of its mortal enemy.
We all know by this time the fate
in store for us, if we succumb. The
other party has no Smaller stake.
As surely as we completely ruin
their armies—and without that is no
peace nor truce at all—so surely shall
we make them pay our war debt,
though \V 0 wring it out of their hearts.
And they know it well, and, therefore
they cannot make peace except
through their utter exhaustion and
absolute inability to strike another
blow.
The stake they have to forfeit, then
if they lose this dreadful game, is as
vital as ours. So is the stake to be
won, if they win anything. It is no
less than the entire possession of our
whole country, with us in it, and ev
erything that is ours, from Ohio to the
Rio Grande, to have and to hold, to
them and their heirs forever.
But, on the other hand, what we
mean to win is utter separation from
them for all time. We do not want to
govern their country, but, after levy
ing upon it what seemeth good to us
'
by way of indemnity, we leave it to
commence its political life again from
the beginning, hoping that the lesson
may have made them sadder and wi
ser Yankees.
Wo shut them out forever, with all
their unclean and scoundrelly ways,
intending to lead our lives hero in our
oft Confederate way, within our own
well guarded bounds, and without, as
St. John says, are dogs.
And let no Confederate leeblo-knees
and tremulous backbone say to us,
this complete triumph is impossible;
say that we must be content with some
kind of compromise, and give and take
on the contrary, we nia.4 gain all or
lose all, and that the Confederates will
indeed win the giant game, we take to
be as certain as any future event in
this uncertain world-.
v;111/e' . .
Meade's army and Rosecrans' once
scattered Lincoln' can get no more ar
mies. 'rho draft turns out manifestly
fruitless. Both the German and Irish
element are for peace. The Yankees
have to bear the brunt of the war
themselves, but in the meantime their
inevitable bankruptcy is advancing
like an armed man- Hungry ruin has
them in the wind. It cannot he long
before the Cabinet at Washington will
have indeed, to consider seriously pro
posals for peace, under auspices and
circumstances very different from the
present. For the present the war rolls
and thunders on, and may God defend
the right.
Gov, Curtin on the Result,
Croy. Curtin, with his estimable lady
visited his home in Bellefonte, Centre
county, Saturday the 24tli. Although
he came quietly and unheralded, he
was received by an immense crowd of
his old friends and neighbors, and es
corted to the Court House, where he
was welcomed with the warmest en
thusiasm. As ho entered the Court
Room, the immense audience of ladies
and gentlemen rose to their feet, the
ladies waving their handkerchiefs, the
gentlemen shouting, and the band
playing an inspiring air. The Gover
nor was welcomed in an appropriate
address by 11. N. McAlllister, Esq., to
which he responded at length. In the
course of his remarks the Governor
said:
"Three years ago he aspired to be
come Governor in order to satisfy a
manly ambition. Ho felt, throe years
ago, that there was to be honor won in
reaching the eminence of Chief Magis
trate of a poWerful Commonwealth:
The honor has been won and worn:
It brought anxious days and sleephiss
nights. It imposed laborious duties,
and demanded unceasing vigilance.
Ifence, so far as the honor of wielding
Executive power is concerned, ho was
fully satisfied ; and had his fellow-citi
zens decreed otherwise, he would have
sought the repose and comforts of his
old home, without a single regret for
lost power, and with every satisfaction
for regained privacy and tranquil plea
sure. But the people had decided that
he should be a candidate, and there
fore he had entered the contest with a
zeal which would be satisfied with no
thing but success. le was anxious to
triumph because he knew that success
would enable him to be of service to
the .NatieteiMoKt,Tninent. no labor
ed for victory hot!tinsahe fervently be
lieved that the success of the—prom
pie which Ito represented, involved the
certain success of the efforts of the
Federal Government to crush rebel
lion. Gov. Curtin referred to what
Pennsylvania had contributed of men
and money to sustain the President,
and then declared in the most emphat
ic terms that so fitr as his authority
would permit him to do so, all the
power of the State in men and money
should be poured out to defend and
sustain the National Government."
Got-. Curtin referred to the situation
in its present aspect, remarking, he
sincerely believed that ail which was
wanted now effectually to crush rqbel
lion, was vigorous measures on the
part of the Government and active
-0,..-pp<yrt from—tire-people: --- He called
on the people to fill up the ranks of
the army. He called on the States to
support the Government—to sustain
the President. All that was wanted
was the demonstration of a large force
of men. The rebellion was literally
'on its last legs.' It was fast toppling
to pieces. A single effective blow
would end it forever. If the proper
force was displayed, he did not believe
that another of those pitched battles
which result in such death and car
nage, would ever be fought. He did
not believe that the rebels would at
tempt further to oppose themselves
against our forces, provided such for
ces were at once made formidable and
overwhelming.
In reference to the - vote of Belle
fonte, and the manner in which be
was supported in other portions of
Centre county, ho expressed himself
highly grateful. Bellefonte had al
most doubled her majority for him,
while in Boggs township the vote was
equally flattering. From. other topics
Gov. Curtin returned to the discussion
of the great necessity of supporting
the war and the Government. He re
peated his determination to turn all
the power and the resources of Penn
sylvania in that direction. Ile pledg
ed himself to leave no official effort un
tried to crush rebellion, and declared
that if any man had voted for hint in
the hope that he would end this war
on any other ground but the complete
vindication of the Government and the
fullest enforcement of the law, that
man bad made the greatest mistake
of his life in thus voting.

"No, mother, but I love play so well
now and I do not see why 1 cannot
learn to sew when lam older. I do
wish I was a cat l"she said, as puss ran
before the door, "then I might play al
ways."
"Well, Fanny," said her mother, "if
you wish, I will let you be a cat for
one week.'
Fanny gave a laugh. "Oh, how
funny that will he! Do you really
mean what you say, mother?"
"Yes," said she, "not that you :, , an
be turned into a cat, but you may act

as if you wore one, and I will treat
you as if you were one."
Fanny put down her work. "What
fun I shall have ! Let rue see : what
shall Ido first? I think I will take
my ball and have a nice play in the
yard."
When the bell rang for ton, she came
in and. was going to take her seat at the
table.
" No, no, said her mother, "pussy
does not oat with us. You may go
out to the cook and she will give you
some bread and milk."
Fanny did not like this very well;
still she did as she was told, and when
Betty had given her the bread and
milk, she went to bed.
When Fanny went to bed her moth
er used to go with her, and ask God
to bless her, and soe that she was nice
and warm in bed; but this night Fan
ny went to bed all alone, with no kind
mother to pray with her or to cover
her up. 'Tuts don't need to pray,"
said Fanny to herself. That must be
why mother did not come up to me.—
I dont know after all, that I shall like
to bo a cat."
The next day while busy at play,
she saw a lady of whom she was very
fond, come up the walk. "I must go
in and see dear Mrs. Bell," she said,
"she may have come to take me home
with her." But as she came to the
door she heard her mother say, "I am
sorry I cannot call Fanny; as she
wants to be a cat this week, I cannot
let her come in to see you."
Fanny went away, for she knew her
mother would do as she had said. It
made her feel very cross to ho shut
out of the room. Still She did not like
to go to her mother and say that she
was tired of being a cat, as it had been
but two days since she had made the
wish.
The next day was Sunday. She
had been used to go td Sunday-school
to meet her class and the kind teacher
who took care of it.
Fanny saw that.bor mother was not
going to do as she hod always done;
that is, wash and dress her, and then
get her hook for her, and help her to
learn her lesson. So she went up to
her, and put her arms around her neck,
while the tear. ran down her face.
"Mother ! dear mother I" she said,
"do not treat me as a cat any more.—
I want to be your own child again,
and have you to talk to me and pray
with me as you used to do. And now,
mother, I see that I was not made to
be idle, and play always, and I aliall
be glad to sew whenover you tell me."
• niiirLe - a - iiie - glad;" - said her moth
er, "to hear you speak in this way;
and, cow that you aro tired of being a
cat, you will be my own daughter
Fanny again."
General Roßearans at Cincinnati.
Interesting and Patriotic Speech--Fal
sity of Sensation Rumors—The Presi
dent Compliments Rowans on his
Last Battle.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 26.—General Ros
ecrans arrived in this city at about 11
o'clock this morning, and was escorted
to the Burnet House by an immense
crowd of citizens. Ho was enthusias
tically welcomed throughout the entire
line of march.
On arriving at the hotel, Gen. Ros
ecrans was introduced to the assem
blage by Judge Stever, who said that
his fellow-citizens of Cincinnati appre
ciated the work he had accomplished
for his country, and assured him of
their unshaken confidence in him.—
While he has never dishonored his na
tive State, the State has never forgot
ten him. Alluding to hie removal from
the Army of the Cumberland, he said
the people would require the records
upon which that net was based to be
produced.
SPEECH OF OEN. ROSECRANS
Gen. Rosecrans returned his sincere
thanks for the expression of sympathy
and respect which this public recep
tion implied. While he felt flattered
by it, he could not forget' that the
heart of the people did not go out to
individuals alone. It is the principle
for which we aro contending—the
struggle for national life—that produ
ces such assemblies.
Ile asked the people not to forget
their duty to the Government, what
ever might occur to individuals. The
question as to how he had been used
he asired to leave for time to answer.
"Some friends of mine," ho said, "in
New York aro very solicitous about
my health. The Army of the Cum
berland thinks I am well enough, and
so do I. As to the quantity of opium
I have taken they will have to consalt
my druggist. Tho New York and
Washington papers have said that
Generals Crittenden and McCook - in
tended to make charges against me.
They assure mo that they regret ex
ceedingly- that such false reports should
be started."
Gen. Rosecrans also remaaked that
since the battle of Chickamauga ho
had received a letter of approval from
the President for his action in that af
fair. He was satisfied that whatever
charges appeared in the Eastern pa
pers against him, the Government was
iu no way responsible for them. He
expressed his readiness to do whatever
the Government desired of him.
At the conclusion of his speech,
cheers were given for Gon. Roaccrans
and the Army of the Cumberland.
The welcome given to Gen. Rose
crane was earnest And hearty through
out.

NO. 19.
Without some mothodized system of
action, wo cannot look for success in
any great enterprise.
A skilful general hi marshalling his
army, is careful to see that every man
is at bib post, and understands his in=
structions. He leaves nothing
chanco. Every rule of discipline is
rigidly onfoiced and his soldiers are so
thoroughly drilled that" every than
knows what is required of him, and
also, how and when, to perform those
required duties. Just so it should be
in the school-rodm. Nothing should
be done at random: But without some
judicious system of clasiiilcation, muuh
of the Teacher's, as well as the pupil's
work will be a random work; and we
know that randoin work - is seldom good
work.
We presume it will be admitted by
all, that it is the diity of teachers to
study the true interests of their pupils,
and to adopt those measures:that seem
best adapted to the end in view; -
The benefits of classification are so
many and obvious, that it wouldsseem
needless to urge it upon the attention
of teachers, were it not that we find
many who admit the theety to be
good, but either through indolence or
apathy, never put it into practice. To
such, the obstacles in the way appear'
insurmountable. But are they so in
reality ? We think not.
Some admit the utility of the system
in towns and villages, but think it is
not adapted to country schools, whose
term is limited to four months in the
year. But it is a mistake to suppose
that children in the country cannot be
classed and taught, as systematically
as children in towns or villages.
And if a system works well for a
longer period, that is surely, no argu-.
ment against its working wi3ll for a
shorter. The logic is not sound, to
say the least of it. There are obsta
clos howovor, in the way of classing
schools in the country, which do not
oxlston-toms; and Mein th- t 4 , o of
calling; attention these obstacles,-
and the - means of removing them, that
I 13.9.1 , 0 - Pro - sidled to attempt to discuss
this subject. One great obstacle, and
the principal ono, is, tho want of suit
able hooks; there being in many"
schools almost as many different au
thors as there aro pupils studying
them. The remedy for this lies with
the Directors, who have , full power in
the exercise of their official authority,
to order a uniform series of text-books;
and to some extent, they have done so.
We have now throughout our country
a uniform series of Readers and. Spel-
lore.:
But why stop there ? Why not at,
the same time give their official sanc
tion to some _series of geographies,
grammars and arithmetics. This done,
one primary obstacle in the way of
classing our schools would be obviated
at once. Another difficulty is the fre
quent change of teachers. We seldom
find two persons pursue precisely the
same course in any business, and in
none does there seem to be a greater
diversity than in teaching. The work
of one teaeger is often entirely demol
ished by his successor; now theories
are advanced; new rules adopted; the
pupils become mystified and perhaps
discouraged; hence a backwardness on
their part to enter with spirit into the
plans of their teacher. When a skil
ful and efficient teacher is once sonar:
ed, parents and Directors should make
a point of retaining his services as long
as possible in the same school. By
this means the difficulties of organizing
and classing the schools would be,
greatly obviated. ,
Thlk prejudice of parents against in-•
novations, is another great bar to sys
tematic instructions in our schools.—
But let teachers go to work in good
earnest,, with all their energies awake,
and they will be surprised to see how
soon those prejudices will vanish, like
the morning mists before the light of
day. Everything cannot lie accom
plished at once, and it becomes teach
ers to wait, as well as work; but let
them wait watching for a fitvorable
time to perfect their plans. Let them,
work gradually, and by the exorcise
of a little tact, th 4 will soon have
their system in successful operation,
and all the sympathies of their pupils•
enlisted in its favor.
This subject we conceive to be of
vast importance, demanding the at
tention of every teacher in the land;
and let me assure you, fellow-teachers;-
it is no eutopian scheme I am , urging
upon your attention,. but a practicable
and feasible plan for the improvement
of our- schools. And as it is to the
teachers we must look for the first
step toward progress, may we note
hope to hear this subject fully and:
freely discussed by all the teachers who ,
tako an interest in its promotion
