Democratic Frauds in Penisylvania.
There are some facts connected with
the recent astonishing vote in Pennsyl
vania, says the North American, which
are deserving of rather more than a
passing notice. The figures we have
already given respecting the extraor
dinary increase of the vote in Berks
county are sufficient to arouse investi
gation. But the facts show that what
is true of Berks county applies to the
whole vote of the State, as the sub
joined comparison will illustrate :
Curtin. Foster. Total
1860 263,397 230,269 493,666
Curtin. Woodward. Total
1863 269,490 254,171 523,597
Gain 6,009 23,902 29,911
Here it is shown that, with an ag
gregate gain of 29,911 votes over the
groat total of 1860, the Union gain is
only 6,009, while that of the Democrats
is 23,902. Since that general rally of
1860 was made, the State has sent in
to the field 163,000 soldiers, recruited
for the three years' service. Of the
200,000 men reported by General Fry
as having been discharged for physical
disability, probably one-tenth were
from these 163,000, so that by that
cause some 10,000 have been returned
home. Of the 88,000 deserters, per
haps the same proportion were from
these 163,000 men, so that here are 8,
800 men retnrned home. The number
of men sent home in consequence of
disabling wounds we - cannot estimate,
but it would be safe to suppose them
about 10,000 from this same force.—
Allowing for the diminution of the
force by other causes, perhaps 30,000
would altogether cover its returned
men %vita were permanently at home
to vote, and about 9,000 still in the ser
vice were furloughed and voted at the
late election, making altogether less
than 40,000. Now of these men not
one in ten voted the Democratic ticket
at the election this fall, and yet the
Democratic vote is increased 23,902.11
did not come from the Union ranks,
for the lines have been very strongly
-drawn nll - er tiket_Sfhte„ and =
changes are just the oti”•ny
Indeed the statistics of the election
show that the Union party, so far from
having lost any since 1860, has gained
iu the aggregate. We polled 263.397
votes in 1860, and we polled 269,406
in 1563. Where, then, did the Demo
cratic increase of 23,002 come from?
Of the 163,000 troops raised in the
State for three years the Democrats
must have contributed at least one
fourth, or some 40,700, which, taken
from their vote of 1860, would leave
about 189,300 remaining voters of that
party. Let us suppose that of the re
turned soldiers they had what we have
allowed them above—one in ten still
voting with them—that would be 4,000
men increasing their vote to 193;300.
Now the natural increase of population
would hardly keep up the strength of
the party beyond this figure, when we
consider the steady drain of the male
population for soldiers and sailors and
the far greater drain of the'Democrat
ic ranks caused by the changes to the
Union side. These conversions are
numbered by thousands, and no one
ever hears of any other way.
Above we have the real strength of
the Democratic party, estimated at
about 193,300. Yet Woodward poll
ed in 1863 no less than 254;171 votes.
How is this difference of about 53,700
to be accounted for? Unless we be
lieve that no Democrats enlisted in the
army or navy, that no conversions to
the Union side have taken place, and
that the .party strength of 1860 was all
at home intact, and that ;the increase
of population among Democrats did
not contribute a man to either army
or navy, there is no other way of ex
plaining this immense aggregate than
by attributing it to the most outrage
ous and systematic frauds. To render
the matter clear, we append a compa
rative table showing the increased De
mocratic vote in certain counties :
1860 1863 Increase.

Schuylkill, 7,667 8,547 .1,480
York, 6,665 8,069 1,404
Aggregate increase, 9,374
Here is an increase of 9,374 in only
five counties, and the rest of the in
crease was, not distributed throughout
the State, as might be supposed, but
in the Democratic strongholds, as will
be seen below :

Aggregate increase,
In these two calculations wo find
that of the 23,000 Democratic increase,
over 10,000 aro in those Democratic
counties in places where, the election
officers being Democratic, frauds may
ho perpetrated with impunity. If we
had the space wo might carry out the
calculation still further, and show that
this heavy increase is in the precincts
and townships where the Domom•ats
have usually polled their strongest
votes, and where they control the as•
sosaments and election officers. But
without occupying time to do so, we
will merely call the attention of our
readers to the fact that the increase of
the Democratic vote in Philadelphia
is in the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eleventh
and Seventeenth wards chiefly, where
the heavy majorities of the copper
heads came from.
How our Prisoners at Richmond are
Treated.
A letter written by a Rev. T V.
Moore, formerly a clergyman of Chum
bersburg, but now a rebel in Rich
mond, and in which it was stated that
the Union prisoners in Richmond wore
kindly treated, has boon extensively
published. This letter was noticed by
the Rev. George H. Hammer, Chap.
lain of the 12th Pennsylvania cavalry,
who has been a prisoner in Richmond
for some four months, and he takes is
sue with Mr. Moore in rather unequiv
ocal terms. In a letter to the New
ville Star, elated at that place, he says:
"I have just been shown a letter pur
porting to have been written by Rev.
Thomas V. Moore., of Richmond, for
merly of this place, in which the state
ment is broadly made, that the Union
prisoners in the various prisons of
Richmond are well treated, well fed,
and every reasonable exertion made
for their comfort; that the citizens of
Pennsylvania confined there have ev
erything done for their comfort and
well-being that the circumstances of
their case will permit.
Having but just returned from a
kur_montlis ca tivity ill Libby 'prison,
and b7 7 -' • 41 WWI ITIc
a, _icing tully. converse:4,
condition of the Pennsylvania citizens,
as well as that of the soldiers and offi
cers confined there, I cannot express
my surprise at such a statement so
false in fact and particulars as the one
alluded - to. Rev. Moore, if be has vis
ited the prisoners, (as he says he has
' done,) knows better, and states with
deliberation a malicious falsehood. He
knows that our prisoners there are
treated like brutes, and not as human
beings. He knows that our citizen
prisoners are dirty, almost naked, their
heads, bodies and clothes filled with
vermin—that at no time since their
capture have they received of the au
thorities sufficient food, even of very
poor quality, to supply their physical
wants. He knows they are confined
along with deserters from both armies
and that their condition , is deplorable
beyond uxrroczion all thin ho knowe J
must know, and wore it not on a par
with all other rebel statements, I
should be surprised at its audacity and
falsehood, as coming from a minister
of the gospel. On the pretence of
preaching to these citizens, I was up
on one occasion allowed to visit them,
while confined in Libby prison. I
know whereof I affirm.
The stench of the room was almost
unsupportable, their inaction' very
great, many of them through sheer
exhaustion, hardly able to stand upon
their feet, and but for the slight glim
mering of hope, which now and then
enter their prison, their condition
would be one of absolute despair. I,
myself, would rather bare my breast
to the bullet or ascend the scaffold for
execution, than take the place of any
ono of them. Myself and others of the
Union officers, after my visit to them,
through holes in the floor, passed them
broad and such other articles as wo
could obtain, to add to their comfort
and soften the horrors which envel
ope them. When the prison authori
ties discovered this, the holes were
nailed up, we warned to desist, on
pain of being placed in a dungeon, and
a few days afterwards, to insure their
isolation from us, they were removed
to Castle Thunder, and placed in what
is known as the Lion's Den, a worse sit
nation, by far, than the ono from which
they wore taken.
As to the statement that our Gov
ernment has refused to exchange them
or to accede to propositions made for
their release, there may be some truth
in it, but he, like others of the accurs
ed rebellious crow, takes good care
not to state that the demands of the
rebel authorities are so unreasonable
that our Government cannot, in self
respect and honor, accede to them.
They claim, as the condition of their
release, that our Government release
all political prisoners now hold by us—
many of them the most dangerous mon
and rebels in the whole land, and ca
pable of damaging the interests of the
Union to an untold extent. Long,
since would they have been released
could the United States Government
have honorably effected it. On the
heads of rebels and traitors rests the
responsibility. Persons desiring in
formation can address me as above for
twenty days."
-PERSEVERE.-
Rebel Testimony.
What value the rebels set on Chatta
nooga, and what they soberly think of
the battle of Chickamauga, may in
some in s)me measure be understood
by help of the following article from
the (sometime) Chattanooga Rebel.—
It is not necessary to presume that
that paper speaks with authority, but
it undoubtedly expresses the general
popular opinion on the objects and re
sults of the campaign which Chicka
mauga terminated, and it is clear that
though the battle went against us on
the field, the victory has been in most
respects a barren one to the Rebels.
EMI
The rebels appreciate the value of
Tennessee and Kentucky as we never
can, for to them the loss of those fer
tile regions threatens sore destitution
during the winter; not absolute fain
ine, but inadequate supplies, a discon.
tented army, and a population oppres
sed in proportion by its extortionate
demands. 'Toad and raiment are our
needs. We must have them. Ken•
tucky and Middle Tennessee can only
supply them. Better give up the sea
coast, better giro up the South-west,
better to give up Richmond without a
struggle, and win' these, than to lose
the golden fields whose grain and wool
aro our solo hope." That is the cry
not of a victorious enemy, but of one
who sees that hip victory is yet to win,
and who sees that ho has no hope if
he does not win it.
Chattanooga is moreover a base
from which invasion constantly threat
ens, and the mere' occupation of which
by a considerable national force is a
more dangerous menace to the rebel
lion than half a million of troops in
Virginia could offer. Bragg's army
cannot be safely reduced, yet it is im
possible that itspresent number should
bo maintained without imperiling the
rebel cause both Bak and West. "The
enemy has just one army in the field
too many for us," says thiS truth-telling
traitor. So this superfluous force is to
be not merely defeated, but driven to
the Ohio, and the war therefore to bo
ended next summer. Not altogether,
however, by military success, oven so
complete as this, but by "securing the
election of a Peace 'Democrat to the
Presidency in the Fall, and arranging
the termsof treaty and independence!'
The Administration at Washington is
doing its part in taking due care that
in Generals r.md,men the Army of the
Cumberland shall be in a condition to
meet the Rebels in the field at the
point which they know is of the last
importance. The people at the ballot.
box will take care of the rest.—Neto
York Tribune.
The Situation at the South-West.
(Editorial from tho Daily Rebel, Oci.9th.) -
*pun raiititirk the 'Tonnes/foe River
from the field ofitielf-nmanga, Rose
crams addressed his troops :.."Follow.
soldier; the object of our expeditioir
will! the possession of Chattanooga--
and here we are." Brief and to the
point, forcible, true, and adroit. Thus
far the campaign, whose mysterious
surges are rolling above us, has no
clearer as it certainly cannot have a
more laconic history. The few words
of the Mutt' General illuminate the
whole page as a ray from a dark lan
tern, and no man can close his oyes to
the somewhat painful glare which they
throw full upon him. Not even Genl.
Bragg himself can contradict them ex
cept with his sword and such strokes
as it may please Heaven to send us
through his hands in tho few days a
fair weather just before us. Unless
we make hay while the sun shines, the
story. aq, thus told will hold good thro'
all time; the spring will open untow
ard dangers to our arms; the cause
which now turns upon the pivot of its
crisis will droop like a flower which
has been untended, and the end must
fide out of sight in a rolling torrent of
disaster—in fogs and Blooms. God
forbid it.
At present the case stands about in
this wise : We have lost the gate to
lower East Tennessee—the river,
which was our base, and the facilities
which these afforded for progressive
movements into Middle Tennessee and
Kentucky. We have gained a hand
to-hand fight; wo have repelled a pow
erful invasion; we have preserved
Georgia and secured a coulmanding
position around the enemy. Rose
evens, on the other hand, has gained
all that we have lost. He has reached
Chattanooga and fortified it, taken up
the river line as his base, and now
prepares to winter quietly in his now
quarters, leaving us uncivilly out in
the cold to take care of ourselves as
best we can or must. Physically, and
to all appearances, in the aggregate,
he is the gainer, and after the prison
ers, artillery, and standards, taken at
Chickamauga, are counted, our victory
is told, while our deficit to the long
sum total, glory included, is s set-off
to make up for any results yet achiev
ed. In a word, we have lost ten or
twelve thousand men, without receiv
ing an equivalent in 'producing terri
tory. The whole question turns,
therefore, upon the situation, and what
we will do with it.
In military circles it is generally be
lieved that Roseerans has blundered
into a position which, improved by an
adversary with genius, might be turn
ed in those adroit movements to his
utter ruin. If this be so, and the
movements speculated, but by no .
incline explained, aro made, the victory
of Chickamauga will be complete, and
the many lives there sacrificed will be
come as so many trophies to a noble
work- But if this opinion be false, or
if the movement suggested as possible
fail to be made, and we continue to
gaze listlessly from the bald knobs of
the Missionary Ridge upon the com
fortable barracks of the bile varlets
below, then, then we may tremble for
the next campaign; for as sure as
there is any surety in the future, the
' 4r - iljt )/ ' . !s 'l:- ,'''''.:l^4t•':
spring of '64 must see us far froth the'
borders of Georgia or near to the verge
of destruction. Nail it to your door
post, men of the South, and refuse to be
deluded into any other belief.
Food and raiment aro our needs.—
We must bare them. Kentucky and
Middle Tennessee can only supply
them. Better give up our sea-coast;
bettor give up the South-West, aye,
butter to give up Richmond without a
struggle and win these, than to lose
the golden fields whose grain and wool
are our solo hope. The enemy has
just one army in the field too many
for us. We must crush this overplus ;
we must gain one signal Stonewall
Jackson campaign. Destiny points
the very place. Be Rosecrans the vic
tim. Defeat him, pulverize, run him
to the Ohio River, and then close the
war by the next summer. And how ?
Nothing easier. The bee which has
really stung our flank for so long, onee
disposed of, our triumphant legions
have a clear road before them. Fed
sumptuously through the winter, well
shod and clad, they have only to moot
a dispirited foe, retake the Valley of
the Mississippi, secure . the election of
a Peace Democrat to the Presidency in
the fall, and arrange the terms of trea
ty and independence. Those results
can be accomplished nowhere else
than in this Department. The North.
West is our real adversary. No mat
ter how often we whip the East, the
effect is still-born to the end. Let us
teach the true contestants a lesson of
peace and sobe-ness, and the difference
will be speedily as our need calls for
the deed.

A PROCLAMATION.
The year that is drawing to its close

others have been added which are of

cannot fail to penetrate and soften
even the heart which is habitually in

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 except in
the theatre of military conflict. While
that theatre has been greatly contract

Of peaceful industry, to. the national"

and the mines, as well of iron and coal

are gracious gifts of the Most High
God, who, while dealing with us in an

me fit and proper that they should be
solemnly, reverently and gratefully

I do, therefore, invite my fellow citi

and also those who aro at sea and
those who aro sojourning in foreign
lands, to sot apart and observe the last
Thursday in November next as a day
of thanksgiving and prayer to our be
nificent Father who doth reside in the
heavens, and I recommend them that,
while offering up the ascriptions just
ly duo to him for such singular deliv
erances and
. blessings, they do also,
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 band and caused the seal

THE CASE OF GEN. MILROY.
Conolusione arrived at by the Preei-
dent.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.
The following is a copy of the con
clusions of the President, endorsed up
on the report of thb Judge Advocate
General, in the case of Major General
Milroy. It will be observed that they
are substantially in accordance with
our statement of their probable char
acter, some days since.
In Juno last, a division was substan
tially lost at and near Winchester, Pa:
At the time it was under Gon. Milroy,
as immediate commander in the field ;
Gen. Schenck, as Department com
mander at Baltimore; and Gen. Hal-

leek, as General-in-Chief - at Weehing
ton.
Gen. Milroy, as immediate comman
der, was put under arrest, and subse
quently a Court of Inquiry examined
chiefly with reference to disobedience
of orders, and reported •the evidence
The foregoing is a synoptical state
ment of the evidence together with
the Judge Advocate General's conclu
sions. -The disaster, when it came,
was a surprise to all. It was very
well known to Gen. Schenck and Gen.
Milroy, for some time before, that Gen.
Halleek thought the division was in
general danger of a surprise at Win
chester; that it was of no service there
commensurate with the risk it incur
red, and it ought to be withdrawn.
But, although he never positively or
dered it.
Gon. Schenck on the contrary, be
lieved the service of the force at Win
chester was worth the hazard, and so
did not positively order its withdraw
al until it was so late that tte enemy
cut the wire and prevented the order
reaching Gen. Milroy. Gen. Milroy
seems to have concurred with Gen.
Schenck in the opinion that the force
should be kept at Winchester, at least
till the approach of danger; but he dis
obeyed no order upon the subject.
Some question can be made whether
some of General Halleck's dispatches
to Gon. Schenck should not have been
construed to be- ordo:a to withdraw
the force and obeyed accordingly; but
no such question can be made against
General Milroy.
In fact, the last order he received
was to be prepared to withdraw, but
not to actually withdraw till further
order--which further order never rea
ched him. Serious blame is not nec
essarily due to every serious disaster,
and I cannot say that in this case ei
ther of these officers is deserving of se
rious blame. No court marshal is
deemed necessary or proper in the
Case. A. laricota.

Two Parties and only Two.
In this country, at this time, there
is but one real issue before the public
mind. That is, whether the integrity
of the Union is to be maintained
through the authorities—who are
alone charged with its defence—by
war and all the justifiable instruments
of war, or whether the Union is to be
abandoned in order to secure peace.
Accordingly, there can be but two
real parties in this country at this
time; first, a Union War party, deter
mined to uphold our Democratic insti
tutions at all hazards, and against
ever , foe foreign as wellAns.dpnystip t ,
an, which is, therefore, properly: tbe -
Democratic party of the day; and see
end, a Peace party, whiCh is willing to .
relinquish the unity of the mitten to
the demands of the insurgents against
it, or to patch up suCh a nominal rec
onciliation of the dislocated parts as
may serve for the time, but will be
sure to load to a future rupture still,
more bloody and terrible than the
present. Both these parties are le
gitimate, because they grow out of the
actual question of the time, because
they represent not merely a formal
but a substantial division of opinion,
and because the issue of events must
be in accordance with the views and
wishes of one or the other.
Thus the Vallandigham or Wood
party, which is openly opposed to the
war and comes out squarely for peace
with the rebels—which means disuni
on—is a perfectly legitimate .party,
whose ends are easily understood.
Thus the Administration party, which
insists upon war till the armed hostil
ity to the government is abandoned
and abjured, is a legitimate party, ari
sing out of the necessary facts of the
times, and quite intelligible as to its
methods and purposes.--.N. Y. Post.
All the Black Oats in One Bag.
EDITOR-Azi old farmer in the'
country was dreadfully troubled by
rats. They eat his grain, invaded his
larder, bled his children, and even as
sailed his own life. He trusted' in his
cats to free him from the vermin. But
three of these cats turned out poorly.
One openly sympathized with the rats
helped them to oat the cheese, suck
the eggs, and kill the chickens. Anoth
er cat was for suppressing the rats
without hurting them. He thought
the farmer as much to blame as the
rats, and bit the farmer twice where
he bit the rats once. The old farmer
became tired of such treacherous aids,
and ordered his boys to enclose the
two worthless oats in a stout sack and
throw them into the river. The boys
proceeded to do this work vigorously.
But in the process a third cat crept
unexpectedly into the bag. This last
was a very sleek, handsome cat, and
the farmer had once great expecta
tions from him. Truo he bad never
killed any rats, but his friends said he
was always just about to slay the
whole tribe. Ho lay watching at their
holes day after day, and often bad
them in sight and reach, bat was nev.
or quite ready to spring. The blame
of his ill success he always contrived
to throw upon the old farmer, and by
a mysterious quiet.and dignity made
some of the children - believe he would
yet do wonders. But all the time he
had a real sympathy with 'the bad cats
now to be executed. Bo at the list
hour he crept into tbe. bag with , them
and shared their fate. 'The boys killed
ono cat more than they bargained for;

In his Review he has taken a most

"These things they did, not as Ca•

them up to uncontrollable fury. The
shouts of the mob tell us what was its
animus, and under whit influence or
inspiration it' acted, and' these wore
hurrahs for Governor Seymour, Fer
