_The _Election.
Huntingdon county.—As for as we have
been able to learn, the election went off qui
etly in this county yesterday. The returns
indicate a majority of about 550 for the Un
ion ticket in the county—a falling off of
some three or four hundred from the gover
nor's majority last fall, This result has been
brought about by the fact that a large ma
jority of the men who have gone into the
army during the year were Union votes.
The army vote, if the men had an opportu
nity to vote on yesterday, will make our coun
ty majority all right. We do .not feel the
least discouraged—Lincolu will be elected—
and-rebellion will-be- en:idled, Our whole
county ticket le elected, and the same with
our candidates fcir Congress,- bonnie litidtb,l
- Loyal men of Huntingdon county,
up and at thenragain=your brave sons, fa
thers and brothers in the army call upon you
to do your duty, and your whole duty.
Coanty.—This county gives Barker
about 100 majority, and about 100 majority
against the balance of the Union ticket.
Juniata County.—This county gives the
rebel sympathisers about 400 majority.
Blair Counly.—This county gives the
Union ticket about 400 majority.
Tus STATE.—Telegraph dispatches claim
fur the Union party a gain of several Con
gressmen.
Allegheny County.—This county gives over
7,000 majority for the Union.
Outo.—This State shows large Union gains
over last year when Brough carried it by
100,000 majority, and gains of Congressmen.
INDIANA.—This State, very unexpectedly,
has gone for the Union party;.and a gain of
at least two Union Congressmen.
12 o'clock, A. M.—We have delayed our
issue until this hour for the purpose of giv
ing as full returns as possible, but the news
from the townships and from different parts
of the State are so confused that we are una
ble to say what we my expect before the
light of another day. The snakes and the
"flat heads" are. rejoicing, but their rejoic
ings will be but of short duration. Their
friends in the rebel ranks may be deceived
by their treason, but Grant and our, noble
nrmy will finish the victory and forever blot
out all enemies of our Government.
We will never surrender until the last reb
id. and the last rebel sympathizer is crushed
out. Loyal men rush to the aid of your
soldiers.
The bogus; Democracy have remained at
home to vole, their treason will not save them
from utter 'defeat in NOvember.
LATEST NEWS.
Glorious News—VictorY by Sheridan—Cav
alry Fight in the Shenandoah—Rebels driv
en front - the field. ,- -Eleven Guns Captured,
&•c.
WASIIINGTON, Oct. 11
The following official dispatch from Gen.
Sheridan has been received, giving particu
lars of the engagement:
STRASBURG, Va., Oct. 9, Midnight.
Lieut,. Gen. Grant, City Point :
In coming back to this point I was not fol
lowed' up until late yesterday, when a large
force Of cavalry appeared in my leer. I then
halted my command to offer battle, by at
tacking the enemy. I became satisfied that
it Was.only. all the rebel cavalry of the Val
ley, commanded by Roper, and directed Tor
bert to attack at daylight this morning, and
finish this saviour of the Valley.
The.attack was handsomely made. Gen.
Caster, commanding the 2d cavalry division,
charged on the back road, and Merritt, com
manding. the Ist cavalry division, on the
Strasburg pike. Merritt captured fire guns,
and Custer captured six guus with their
caisons, battery forgo, &c. The two divi
sions captured 47 guns, ambulances, &e.
Among the wagons captured are the head
quarters wagons of Roper, Lomax, Wickham,
aralCol. Ilollend. "
The number of prisoners will be about
300. The enemy, after being charged by
our cavalry, were broken, and ran. They
were followed by our men, on the, jump,
twenty-six miles, through Mount Jackson
and across the north fork of the Shenandoah.
I doomed it best to make this delay of ono
day here and bottle this new cavalry general.
The eleven pieces captured to-day make
thirty-all pieces captured in the Shenandoah
Valley since the 19th of September. Some
of the artillery was new, and never had been
fired. The pieces were marked 'Predegar
Works." P. 11. SHERIDAN,
Jeff Davis' Speech at Macon.
The Confederacy in adversity.—Two
thirds of the Rebel Army at home—
_ Most of them absent without leave—
. Richmond's safety depends entirely on
Early—Appeal for reinforcements.
The following melancholy speech, made
by Jefferson Davis at Macon, Ga., Supt. 23,
1864, is extracted from the columns of the
Doily Macon Telegraph and Confederate of.
Sept. 24:
LADIES AND GENTLEUAN, FRIENDS AND
FELL .DC CITIZENS: It would have gladdened
my heart to have met you in prosperity instead
of adversity. But friends are drawn together
in adversity. The son of a Georgian. who
fought through the first revolution, I would
he untrue to myself if I should forget the
Siam in her .day of peril.. What though
misfortune has befallen our arms from Decor
fur to Jonesboro, our c ause is not lost. Sher
man cannot keep up his long line of commu
nication and retreat. Sooner or later he
must; and when that day comes, the fate
that befel the army of the French Empire in
its retreat from Moscow will be reacted. Our
cavalry and our people will harass and destroy
his army as did the Cossacks that of Napoleon;
and the Yankee General, like him, will escape
with only a body guard.. How. can this be
the most speedily effected'? By the absent ere
of Hood's army returning to their posts;
and will they not? Can they sec the banished
exiles; can they hear the wail of their' suffer
ing countrywomen and children and not come
By what influences they are made to stay
away it is not necessary to speak. If there
is elm who will stay away at this hour, lie
is unworthy of the name of Georgian. To
the women no appeal is necessary. They
are like the Spartan mothers of old. I know
of one who has lost all her sons, except one,
of eighf.years. She wrote that she wooled.
me to reserve n place for hitn in the ranks
The venerable General Polk, to whom I read
the letter, knew that woman well, and said
it was characteristic of her ; but I will not
weary you by turning aside to relate tho vari
ous incidents of giving up thelast son to the
cause of our country, known tome. Wher
ever we go we find the hearts and hands of
our noble women enlisted. They are seen
wherever the eye may fall or the step turn.
They have one duty 'to perform—to buoy up
the hearts of iii: people. I know the
deep disgrace felt by Georgia at our
army falling back from Dalton to the
interior of the State. But I was not of
those who consider. Atlanta lost• when
our army crossed the Chattahoochie. I re
solved that it should not, and I then put n
man in command who I knew would strike
a manly blow for the city, and many a Yan
kee's blood was made to nourish the soil be
fore the prize was won. It does not become
us to revert to disaster. • Let the dead bury
the dead. Let us ; with one army, and one
effort, endeavor to crush Sherman: I am
going to the army to confer with our ' oener-
Ids. The end must be the defeat of our
enemy. It is said that I abandoned Georgia
to her fate. Shame upon such falsehood--
Where could the author have been when
Walker, when Pulk, and when Gen. Stephen
D. Lee was sent to her assistance. Misera
ble man. The man who uttered this was a
scoundrel. Ile was not a man to save our
country, If I knew that a general did not
possess the right qualities to command,
would I not be wrong if lie were net remov
ed? Why, when our army was falling back
from Northern Georgia, I even heard that I
had sent Bragg with pontoons to cross it to
Cuba. •But we must be charitable. The
man who can speculate ought to be made to
take up his musket. When the war is over
and our independence won — and wo will
establish our independence—who will be our
aristocracy? I hope the limping soldier.
To the young ladies I would say that, when
choosing between an empty sleeve and the
man who had remained at home and grown
rich, always take the empty sleeve. Let the
old men remain at home and make bread.
ut should they know of any' young man
keeping away from the service, who cannot
be mad to go any other way, let them write
to the Executive. I rend all letters sent
me from the people, but have not . the time to
reply to them. You have not many men
between eighteen and forty-five loft. The
boys—God bless the boys—are, as rapidly as
they become old enough, going to the field.
The city of Macon is filled with stores, sick
and wounded. It must not be abandoned
when threatened, but when the enemy come,
instead of calling upon Hood's_ army fur de
fence, the old men must fight, and when the
enemy is driven beyond Chattanooga, they,
too, can join in the general rejoicing. Your'
prisoners are kept as a sort of Yankee
capital. I have heard that ono of their
generals said that their exchange would
defeat Sherman. I have tried every means,
conceded everything, to effect an exchange,
'but to no purpose. Butler, the beast,
with whom no commissioner of exchange
would held intercourse, had published
in the newspapers that if we would
consent to • the exchange of negroes, all
difficulties might be removed. This is repor-,
ted as an effort of Isis to get himself white
washed by . holding intercourse with gentle
men. If an exchange could be effected, I
don't know but that I might be induced to
.recognize Butler. But in the future every
effort • will be given, as far as possible, to ef
fect the end. We want our soldiers in the
field, and we want the sick and wounded to
return home. It is not proper fur nut to
speak of the number of men in the field, but
this I will say, that two irds of our men
are absent, - some sick_ some wounded, but
most of them absent without leave. The
'man who repents and goes back to his com
mander voluntarily, appeals strongly to Ex
ecutive clemency. But' suppose he stays
away until the war is over, and his comrades
return home, and when every man's history
will be told, where will he shield himself?
It is upon these reflections that I rely to make
men return to their duty, but after conferring
with our generals at headquarters, if there
be any other remedy it shall be applied. I
love my friends, and I forgive my enemies.
I have been asked to send reinforements from
Virginia to Georgia. In Virginia the dis
parity in numbers is just as great ns it is
in Georgia. Then I have been. asked why
the army sent to the Shenandoah Valley was
not sent here. It was because an army of
the enemy had penetrated that valley to the
very gates of Lynchburg, and General Early
was sent to drive them back. This he net
only successfully (lid, hut, crossing the Pot -
mac, came well nigh capturing Washington
itself, and forced Grant to send two corps of
his army to protect it. This the enemy de
nominated a raid. If so, Sherman's march
into Georgia is a raid. 'What would pre
vent them now, if Early was withdrawn s
from taking Lynchburg, and patting a cor
don of men around Riclunund ? I counsel.
led wills that great and bravo soldier, Gen.
Lee, upon all these, points. My mind roam
ed over the 'Ante field. With this we can
succeed. If onc-half the men now absent
without leave will retu rn to duty, we can de
fetft the enemy. 'With that hope lam going
to the front. I may not realize this hope,
but I know there are men there who have
looked death in the face too often to despond
now Let no one despond/ Let no one dis
trust, and remember that, if geniuS is the
beau ideal, hope is the reality.
Freedom of Speech.
John Williamson, Esq., attempted
to make a Union speech at Dudley,
Carbon township, on Wednesday even
ing last, but the freedom shrickers de
termined that ho should not bo heard
and he was compelled to surrender
to the mob. We learn that several of
the most intelligent of the opposition
became disgusted with the conduct
of the mass of the party there , ar.d
openly declared that they .would
keep such company ao longer. The
mob was composed of Material such
as give large majorities for the candi
dates of the bogus Democratic party. •

Pendleton's Votes,
He voted sgainst the bill to provide
increased revenue from imports ' etc.,
which passed the Reuse, Aug. 2, 1861;
yeas 89, nays 39.
:He voted against the bill to provide
internal revenue, support the Govern
ment, and pay interest on the public
debt, passed April 8, 1862 • yeas 126,
nays only 15; among the latter such
patriots as Kerrigan, Voorhees and
Vallandigham, but the vast majority,
even of Democrats, voting for the bill
as essential to carry on the Govern
ment. Impelled by the same motive
of hostility to the war, Pendleton vo
ted against the Internal Revenue Act
of 1864,•against the Tariff Act of 1864,
against the bill to tax insurrectionary
districts, and against the Treasury
Note act of February 6,1864.
Consistent in his friendship to all
the open friends of rebellion • Pendle
ton was one of the twenty who voted
against the resolution censuring Har
ris of Maryland, for treasonable lan
guage on the floor of the House.
June 30, 1864, he Voted for Le-
Blond's proposition for an armistice
and commissioners; the campaigns in
Virginia and Georgia then actively
going forward.
Ho declared by his vote on -the 18th
of January, 1864, as ho - had in his
speech cited, that he does not believe
in the right to crush the rebellion.
Mr. Green Clay Smith, of • Ken lucky,
offered this preamble and resolution :
WHEREAS A most desperate, wick
ed, and bloody rebellion exists within
thejurisdietion of the United States,
and the safety and security of perso
nal and national liberty depend upon
its utter and absolute extinction;
therefore,
Resolved, That it is the political, civ
il, moral, and sacred duty of the peo
ple to meet it, fight it, crush it, and
forever destroy it.
This passed with but sixteen nays;
among them, Harris, Long, Pendleton,
Voorhees and Ferhando Wood.
Three resolutions were offered in
tho House, Dee. 17, 1863. The first
declared for the prosecution of the
war. Pendleton voted . squarely= in
opposition to it-64 other Democrats
with him. The second resolution was
as•follows :
"That we hold it to be the duty of
Congress to pass all necessary bills to
supply men; and the duty of the pee
pie to render every aid in their pow
er to the constituted authorities of the
Government in the crushing out of
the rebellion, and bringing the leaders
thereof to condign punishment."
This resolution was agreed to, yeas
153, nays 1, Harris, of Maryland. Mr.
Pendleton dodged the vote, although ho
had just voted on the preceding reso
lution, and appears immediately af
terwards voting on the next.
Tins picture of the national sacra fie°
invited by General McClellan is vivid
and striking. It is by the venerable
and eloquent
_Robert J.Breckinridge,
of Kentucky :
Now, for God's sake, and for your
country's sake, look at it. Here we
are, after between three and four years'
war; after spending two or three thous
and millions of dollars; after spiting
the blood of a million of our brothers,
and consigning five hundred thousand
of them to their graves ;'after conquer
ing an extent of territory 1,500 miles
in length by six huii - dred in breadth,
we have an army in every State of the
Confederacy, and a majority of them
under our control; we have every
stronghold taken from them, except
Mobile and Charleston and Richmond;
and, notwithstanding all this, wo are
asked, as if we were a set of,poltroons,
to disgrace ourselves to the 'latest
generation of mankind, to sacrafite
everything we have fought for, and
that is worth Eyeing for, and make all
the world say free government is
worthless; that .it cannot take care
of itself. God Almighty in Heaven
grant that every man who utters
such a thought may be choked until he
becomes a penitent and better man.
Chicago Sentiments.
Much has been written and said of
the barefaced .and revolting treason
exhibited by many of the actors in the
Chi Cage Convention, in their street
harangues during its
. session. Ono
of the editors of the Rochester Deni
crat gives the following statement of
what he saw and hoard at one of the
out-door meetings of the modern De
mocracy, which made Chicago hideous
during the continuance of the late
Convention :
I can recollect bearir.g, during four
days of almost incessant speech ma
king—not loss than ono hundred
and twenty speeches having been
made in that time—only t;vo loyal
utterances. Ono was the resolution of
that respectable old gentleman whose
senility may be a partial excuse for his
inconsistency, Amos"Rendal, affirming
that the Uuion must be maintained at
all hazards, which proposition was
instantly kicked under the table. The
other was the interjectional interrup•
tion of a speaker at the Richmond
House by a man in the crowd, who
dee!ared that he was? Democrat, but
that the draft was legal and ho would
join Old Abe in helping to enforce it.
He was knocked down with a loaded
cane—and then carried off by the po
lice as a disturber. In half tho spec.
cies chat were made the crowd was
called upon, if they had any manhood
left, to band together with arms in
their hands to resist the draft and
not allow it to be enforced.
Such sentiments were responded to
with yells of defiance, and cries of
'"We will !" "We will !" - They were in
structed that if arrested by a United
States officer, for whatever offence,
they'were to resist him to the death.
And they screamed, "We will do it I"
"Kill the soldiers !"'°D— the hire
lings!" They were taunted with be
ing mean, low-bread cowards, because
they had submitted to a draft, and
supported the War for the Union.—
They ansieeted with a vow never to
repeat the toffy. All the leaders west
attic , Alleghanies,and Wood, Van Allen
and Rynders, of this State, Bill Eaton,
of Connecticut, and others if Peunsy'-.
crania, New Jersey and Maryland,
made the most incendiary of speeches,
evidently intended to rouso the pee
pie to open rebellion, calling Mr: Lin
coln a traitor and usurper; Jeff Davis
a christian .gentleman; the Federal
soldiers mercenary minions; the reb
els an oppressed and injured people
fighting for their rights.
" I call Jeff. Davis my President,"
exultingly exclamed Dr. Allen, a Dem•
ocratic speaker, at the Sherman
House, " for he is a christian and a pa
triot; he Conducts war on civilized 1110:
thOCk ; ho is fighting for liberty, and
he has my sympathy and affection, and
if it were net fur my property ho
should have my personal allegiance,"
and the diabolical sentiment was re
ceived with 'three cheers from two
acres of people . .
"War is disunion," shouted a speak
er on Tuesday evening from the baled:
ny of the Tremont, " and may God in
his goodness keep me from ever rejoic
ing at' another Con let:crate defeat!"
and Pendleton—candidate for the Vice
Pres.—stood by, and at the close shook
the traitor's hand warmly in congrat
ulation. "I tell you," said a speaker
at the Richmond," you need not ex
pect to have :peace in any event. DO
not cherish that delhsion, for if you
elect your candidate, Lincoln will not
give up the reius of' government, and
you will have to match to Washington
and inaugurate your man at the point
of the bayonet. And if you are beat
en, you will have war here at the
North, for the people will not tolerate
four years more of the imbecile and
felon now in the White House."
lie urged the peciple to prepare for
"free ballots and free bullets "4o pre
pare to fight to inauguratb their candi
date if they elect him, and, if beaten,
to march to oervthrow the military
despotism at Washington. And again
his audience of traitors responded defi
antly "%I r e will do it I" "If we've got
to 'fight, we'll fight Old Abe !" I went
to the balcony and inquired the speak
er's name, and ho told me it was
Trainor, and that he presided over• the
State Convention in Ohio that nomin
ated Vallandigham for Governor. I
could not help asking myself, with a
shade of apprehension, what is he the
future, and towards what are we gravi
tating, when such sentiments are re
ceived by the great Democratic party
not only without dissent, but With
uproarious applause ?
Now, to show how fully and co m_
plotely is the accord, between the bo
gas Democratic • party of the . North
°alai the reberteatleiS - of the South; read
the following from a late number of
the Richmond Extimine)'.
The South is to act the controlling
part, in the Northern election. The issue
of November is to be decided by the
armies in Virginia and Georgia. Lin
coln's whole hope of re election begins
and ends in military success. With
out some decided achievements by
Grant or a destruction of the Geor
gian army, by Sherman, every State
iu the North will vote against him,
except Vermont and Massachusetts.
The onus of success is with him. The
success must not be
.moderato, but
great enough' to promise a decisive
influence in securing the objects for
which lie is conducting the war.
If he fails to accomplish something
worthy of the great exertions he has
made in the campaign, lie will be beat-.
en at the polls, and the now party wiil
succeed to power which will sheathe
the sword and hold out the olive
branch. The South is fighting , for
peace, and peace alone. She is resist
ing aggression, she aims neither at the
conquest nor humiliation of her adver
sary. Forthe first time who in four years
is there a prospect of securing this
long and arduously sought desidera
tum. All the powerful inducements
which have nerved her to the strug
gle for four years, are now coneevtra
tcd in the space of two months. The
adMinistration at Washington will
put forth all its power and energy for
effecting by November the purpose
which it has so eagerly endeavored to
compass - during the preceding stages
of the war. It is not merely hatred
towards us which now inspires its
members g to "this powerful motive
they now have added the 'dosireOf pro
longing their power, and overthrow
-ing adversaries whom they-h ate even
more intensely than they do ourselves.
Our policy is emphatically to stand on
the defensive and risk nothing;.. but
at the same time, it is more important
than ever that we should bring every
resource into requisition, and employ
all the vigilance and activity of which
we are capable.

{Froth the :Yew York Tithes.]
Benedict Arnold, on the 20th day
of October, 1780, issued the following
proclamation to the citizens and sol
diers of the United States :
Yon arc promised liberty by the
leaders of your affairs, but is there an
individual in the enjoyment of it, sav
ing your oppressors? Who among
you dare to speak or write what he
thinks against the tyranny which has
robbed you of your property, impris
ons your sons, drags you to the field
of battle, and is daily deluging your
country with blood
Your country onto was happy, and
had the proffered peace been embraced;
the last two years of misery had been
spent in peace and plenty, and repair
ing the desolation of the quarrel that
would have set the interests of Great
Britain and America in a true light,
and cemented their friendships.
I wish to load a chosen band of
Americans to the attainments of peace,
liberty, and safety, the first objects in
taking the field.
What is America but a land of wid
(MS, orphans, and beggars? But
what need of argument to such as feel
infinitely more misery than tongue
can express Izive my promise, of
most affectionate welcome •to all Who
are dispoSed to jOih . me in :measures
necessary to (dose the•Semies of our . af:
fiction, which must increase until we
are satisfied with the liberality of the
mother country, which still offers us
protection and exemption from's!l tax
es but such as we think fit to impoSe
upon ourselves.
BENEDICT ARNOLD
OCTOBER 20, 1780
The traitor here takes eight points
against the Continental Congress and
Washington, the Commander•-in-Chief.
First, That ifrecOrn of speech and
of the press has been taken away. •
. Second, That property has been ap : .
preprinted.: - • •
Third, Tlhat illegal inliirisonthents
have been made.
Fourth, That odious conscriptions
have been imposed.
Fifth; hat pea* *Mc:din - light bit*
boen"bad; was refused."
Sixth, That thefirst objects in ta
king the field have been abandoned.
Seventh, That the country has been
deluged with blood, and made a land
*Of widows and orphans.
Eighth, That it is ..necessary : to join
him, in - order to close.those a - Mations
and return to prosperity:
Now wo defy any man - tomake out
a more complete model of- a Copper
head harangue in 1864: Take any of
the set speeches, we care. not which.
Turn for instance to that made, V
Horatio Seymour in Milwaukee an
:extract from which we published last
Monday. His points are as follows,
and we use his own words:
First, "The freedom of speech and
of the press has been denied us."
Second, "It, is your property, the
property of Northern tax-payers,which
is confisticated."
Third, "Men have been torn from
their fitaliliCS, and locked up in prison,
and women too."
Fourth, "Men are told that they
must leave their homes ancl - , dovotp
themselyes to war." ,
Fifth "The policy of the Adminis
tration Fifth ,
placed hindrances in the
way of Union."
Sixth, "The Administration , litiset
tcred upon :t;settled pOliciydangeroas
to the welfare of the country."
Seventh, "In God's name, are there no
moans by which we can save the lives
of husbands and brothers?"
'eighth, "We nominated ,McClellan
that we might restore:prosperity and
peace to the people." ,
Thus are the points made by Hora
tio Seymour, against the Administra
tion in 1864, identical, point with point,
with those made by Benedict Arnold
against Washington and the Continen
tal Congress in 1780. We see precise•
ly what Mr. Seymour meant when,
toward the close of his speech, he as
serted, "our views came from our fa
thers." They are the views whidh the
Tory fathers, through their executor,
Benedict Arnold; bequeathed to their
Copperhead offspring.'

took place in Philipsburg,Centre coun
ty, a few weeks ago that. will be of in
terest to the loyal people of the coun
ty. Dr. Richards told Charles Reder,
a returned soldier, that he was one of
Lincoln's blood-hounds and a Murder
er, and that he, Richards, would sooner
cut his own mother's throat than to harm
Jeff: Davis, or any person in the. South.
This was too much for a soldier to
stand. ChaMey knocked him down
and gave him a sound thrashing. The
gallant Dr. got out a warrent and
came into Court as a deeply injured
man. Charley - et:Pi - malted 11. N. McAl
ister, who advised him as ho-had vio•
latod the law to submit to the judg
ment of the court and make a state
ment of the Lase, • You know old
- :
McAlister is as'sharp'as he is loyal,
and used his priviledge, as well as right,
in cross-examining the Doctor, who
admitted on his oath that he had said
that ho would sooner cut his mother's
throat, than raise his arm to.put down
this infernal rebellion, or harm Jeff.
Davis in his person. Is -there any
thing more wanting to stamp eternal
infamy on a man than such sentiments;
much less sworn to in open Court ?
Surely any man who could entertain
such sentiments, and uone but such,
could vote the Copperhead ticket or
support the Chicago platform. If the
Dr. or any of his Copperhead friends
think themselves injured by this state
ment, they can have :their redieSs' be
fore Judge Linn 'and his associates,
where they will have justice done them
whether they want it or not. I said
Mr. Reder submitted to the court--
ho was fined five dollars and half the
costs, and one of his loyal friends paid
the whole bill. Fellow citizens, would
you not rather be Charles Roder who
served three years in the sth Pa. Re
serves than Dr. Richards. The Re
serves distinguished themselves in ma
ny a hard fought battle and
„made
themselves a name as' lasting for pa
triotism and love of country as the
hills and mountains amongst which
they were born and raised, while that
of Richard must go down to eternal
infamy and disgrace moro deep and,
damnning than that of Benedict Ar
nold.
The sentiments of Richards are not
peculiar to himself, they belong to the
whole copperhead ticket, but thank
God o'o time is nearat hand when the
frosts of October and November will
so chill them that no heat will ever
warm them into life again.

To Pent. Gen. U. S. Crane :
I, have the honer.to,renort my command
at thie point. To-night I commenced 'any;
big beck from Port Republic, and met Craw
ford at Bridgewater ind llarrisonburg yes
terday morning.
The grain in front of this point has previ
ously been destroyed in moving-back to this
point. The whole country, from the Blue
Ridge to the North Mountain, has been made
untenable:fir n rebel army.
I have destroyed over ti o thousand barns
filled with wheat; hay and farming
imple
meats, over seventy - - mills - filled with flour
and wheat, have driven in front of the,artny
over 400 head of stock, and have killed and
issused to the troops .not less than 300 sheep.
This destruction embraces the Luray Val
ley and Little Toot Valley, as well as the
main valley.
~A large number of. horses have: ob
tained, a pioper estimate of which - Lei-11111ot
Lieut. John It. Meig,R, my engineer officer,
was murdered 'beyond Harrisonburg, near.
Dayton. For this atrocity all the houses
Within an area of fire miles were horned.
Since I came into the valley, from Harper's
Ferry up to Harrisonburg, every train, every
small party has bean bushwhacked by the
people, many 'of whom have protection pa
pers from commanders who have been hith
erto in that valley. : .;
The.people here aro getting sick the
war. Heretofore they have had-no reason to
complain, because. they have been living in
great abundance.
I Intro not been followed by the enemy up
to this point, with the exception 01 a small
force of rebel cavalry, that showed them
selvessome distance behind my rear guard
to-day. P. 11. SERIDAN,

Opinions - of the Charleston "Mercury" on
Early's Expedition and his Rdbiits—
Severe Criticism of the Rebel Military
Policy.
- -
Files of the Dherleston (S. C.) papers, in
eluding those of the 28th tilt:, 'here been re
calved here.
The Mercury contains a letter from Rich,
mond admitting that "the - situation" iiseri
ous. "Fisher's Hill," the corresraindent
says, "is the strongest position in the Sh-b
-nanaloah valley, and Early has been driven
from that, and to insure deliverance we must
call out and concentrateevery available.man."
The Mercury says: "When Early assumed
the aggreSsive - and crossed - the Putormi into
Maryland, we Antared to 'express the opin-.
ion that such a movement could prOduee noth
ing but evil to our cause. The sub Sequent
burning down of ChambersbUrg; and the
military flourishes about Washington, only
confirmed our fears. Time has passed on,
and now we see realized the.fruits of this ex
pedition. The army it raised is in the val
ley-of Virginia before General '}.larly..
has defeated hint in two battles. Not is this
all. These two battles have added' power
fully in the reinforcement of the draft now
going on in that country, and will thus add
tens of thousands more to our enemies in the
Geld. To our comprehension: was clear
that Early's expedition into Maryland eras.
like that of General Longstreet to Knoxville:
It was a part of that kind of policy which
has continually clogged our success, and de
stroyed its fruits befere : they are realized.—
It is this which has cost us the half of Geor
gia. General Hood was faithful to it when
ho sent all his cavalry away "and insured the
fall of Atlanta."
The following recent words of Score-.
Lary Chase should be kept in memory
against . the day of election -
More majorities will not suffice.
Large mrjorities Will hardly be enough;
We want and must have majorities so
overwhelming and decisive as will'ex- -
tingeish every hope in the hearts', of
the (1411 of the rebellion, and in the
hearts of all the.
'and domestie
sympathizers with - rebellion, that the
American peoPle will ever consent
to the dismemberment of the American
