n ABU ED RAID DMODRDPPfCB.
An armed mob of soldiers—tea iti num
ber, and members of the Anderson Troop,,
stationed near this place—entered onr office
on Friday evening, tho 24th alt., at about 7i
o’clock, in tho absence of ouWlf'nnd hands,
and destroyed some of our materials, knocked
into “ pi” several forms Of type,, hacked tho
hod of the press with an aso, tore up a thous
and shoots of damp white paper (which had
been prepared for our regular edition, J broke
apitchcr, carried off an eagle out, and commu
ted various.other very uncivil depredations.
They effected ah entrance by forcing the out
side door, breaking the look. They also
forced open thodoorbf our private room, but
finding nothing but our books and private
papers, thcsoworc ncftmolosted. They were
. not in the office ever five minutes, and' wore
frightened off by two boys, who •■threatened
to arrest the whole party.
We did.not,refer to this outrage in onr last,
hoping that by another week we would bo
able to point cut tho perpetrators. Wo are
still unable to do this, however, hut have
reason to believe,” that all tho men who-cn
tcred our office in the night, behind ourbitck,
are-members of the Troop, with one except
tion. It is tho more astonishing that men
connected with this military organization
should have made this assault upon our prop
erty, for we have shown more kindness to this
very Troop than any mania our town, ns the
sidk in the hospital will testify. 'Ourself anti
family have spared neither trouble 'nor ex
pense in attending to the wants of the invalids,
and for along time before any one else thought
of them, we alouo provided them with deli
cacies from bur table. Wby then did these
men—men who are sworn to obey the laws—
solect us as their victim on the night in ques
tion? Political animosity, of course.;, they
wera prompted by an Abolition spirit, which
teaches men to destroy the property of those
who havo vanquished them at tho polls; .a
mob spirit. ’
2377
Wo have boon told (by members of the
Troop,) that two articles which appeared in
our issue of October 23, gave “ offence” to
some of the men in camp. One article
“ boasted too loud over our victory,” our in
formant told us; and the other was “too
personal against the President.” Has it not
come to a pretty pass when armed men are
to to bo the judges of newspaper articles ?,
and must we run the risk of ti/cir displeasure,
if w,e express opinions that run counter to
theirs 1 Men may possibly be schooled into
submission to a decent despotism, but this
Abolition despotism that stabs in the dark
and behind the back, is a new era in the
world, and oho which no good citizen or hon
est man will submit to or countenance for a
1 moment. , " .

But, the Philadelphia Press, published by
the vindictive and remorseless Fornev, and
the Harrisburg Telegraph, published-by' the
infamous blockhead and Hessian, Beecher,
say that the assault was made on our office
because of our “ disloyal sentiments.” That
is false. The man who charges us with dis
loyalty lies in his throat and is a coward in
524
is'heart. Abolition traitors have dealt in
this slang long enough and too,, long, when
speaking of Democrats, and it.was supposed
that after the people of this State bad hurled
the lie back in their teeth, that common de
cency would dictate to those dirty wretches
the propriety of dropping this kind of detrao- [
tion. Prior to the election every Abolition
editor and every hireling under the adminis
tration, denounced as and seces
sionists" all those who expressed n determi
nation to support tho Democratic candidates.
Did' those men speak tho truth, and is it true
that* majority of 650 of the voters in Cum
berland county,,.and 3,000 majority in the
State ate “traitors?" No, it is not true—
the men who made tho charge are falsifiers.
It appears to bo tho opinion of some, how
ever, that opposition to the treasonable plans ,
of tho rabid Abolitionists' is. “ disloyalty.’’—
If this bo the case, then a majority of . the
people of this State are disloyal; but if to
support the Government with men and moans,
defend tho Constitution and laws, and urge
on vigorous war measures is loyalty, then tho
people are loyal; then wo are loyal, for this
wo have always done. We have condemned,
and so have tho people, many of the acts of
the administration. Wo shall continue to do
so, oven if tho Abolition devil stands at our
door. The Emancipation proclamation, the
suspension of the habeascorpus, the keeping
of tens of thousands of runaway negroes at
the public expense, the District of Columbia
Bill, the attempt to force the Border States
to give up their . slaves, illegal arrests, the
prodigality of many of those who handle' the
public money, are acts that no man who is
[not a bigoted fanatic can approve of.—
We agree with a distinguished Union man of
Tennessee, that “ these measures will cost us
tans of thousands of lives, raise up against us
a hundred thousand rebel bayonets, and pre
vent enlistments in the North.” Such being
our conviction, we regretted these measures,
and condemned them. The Bresidenthas ap
proved them, and is responsible for them, and
for the direful mischief they have occasioned.
' When wo suggested that ho had better re
i sign, it was a borrowed idea, not our own,
and was only similar to the suggestion Grek
ov and Beecher made in their respective
papers, hut a few weeks ago, with this differ
-1 enco—they said if he did not “ abdicate
voluntarily, ho would be forced to do so by
public opinion.” Beecher still persists in
his demand, and in his paper (the Jndepend-.
ent,) of a very recent date, he denounces the
President in most unhoard of severity. But,
Greblv and Beecher are good Abolitionists
—“ loyal men,” as some would call the trai
tors—arid their offioeif are not molested by
635
an armed mob.
But, we have said more than wo Intended,
and have diverged somewhat from our sub
ject. Tho few misguided men who commit
ted this outrage were instigated to the act by
two or three scoundrels residing here, who
have, desired for a year or more to hiss o mob
upon us. Had not their minds been haunted
with visions of the penitentiary, they would
have been tempted to the act themselves long
before now, bn some dark night, in our ab
sence. We know them.

ness peculiar to itself, copies an cxtrnct'fi'ttei
our paper of tiro 2oth ult., and, by its’fc'oni
monts, would wake its readers believe that Vvo
threatened and connived nt thb “hssbbsilia
tion of tho President, in case ha refusestufe
eign." Such a thought never -entered bur
head. Wo are incapable of entertaining such
a thought. During tho late political contest
Abolition speakers frequently hinted at tho
necessity that existed for the assassination of
Ex-President Buchanan, and.uno of them, in
a speech not-five hundred yards from Wheat
land, asked his hearers whether they, were
“ willing that tho ‘ old traitor’ should long
er remain in their midst.” In a speech.(oo,
delivered at Brooklyn, about ton days ago, by
Cassius MV Or.A v, ho said—“ So Tar from find
ing fault with Abraham Lincoln, bo rather
found fault with him that he' had not sus
pended, tho habeas corpus, not by a dash of
tho pen, but by tho ropes round the ncoks of
these traitors of the Democratic party.” ■
Tho Herald very well know to what toe re
ferred when w.o spoke of the danger that
threatened tho President. The throats made
■against hinrhy Qreblt and Beecher quite ro
•oontly, and the glib manner in which they
spoke in favbr df a “ strong Government with
a military chieftain at its head,” could not
bo misunderstood by a discriminating people.
The men making those threats may not have
meditated assassination, but they did hint at
anarchy, and the necessity that existed .for
seizing the Government by force, and estab
lishing upon its ruins a military despotism.
At that very time, too, the Governor of Massa
chusetts, when' bo was asked by the Presi
dent for troops, revolted, and wrote an impu
dent letter to Mr. Lincoln, in which fro refused
him “another man,”-and defied tho Govern
ment. It was manifest—clear as tho sun in
tho heavens—that a revolutionary project was
seriously contemplated by the radical politi
cians of the Abolition school. The President
■himself was fully aware of it. If some such
project was not intended, why did they db
riiand a soparato_command for Fremont, with
100,000 men, after ho had been dismissed
from the scrvldo?,lt is now charged upon
Fremont by Francis P; Blair, of St. Louis,
that lio.(Fremont) has labored for his ooan
try’s overthrow. We all. know him to be a
dangerous, aspiring man, just the kind, in an
emergency like.the: present, to become".a
cut-purse ot the Empire and the rule,” by
usurping the liberties of. the people. This
man the radical leadOrs*have clung to with
all tho. tenacity of fanatics ; and to show our
renders tho sort of man he is, we select thq.
following from an address lately published by
Col. Blair. Mr. Blair, bo it remembered,
is a leading and influential Republican Mem
ber of Congress, and Lis brother is the pres
ent Post-Mastor-General. Mr. Blair says i
“Fremont was thou plotting against the
Government which had trusted him, and
using tho means placed in his bands for its.
support to work its destruction, aud establish
for. himself n dictatorship upon its ruins. If
his, ability had heed equal to bis ambition, ho
would pdrhaps have sought to enact the same
role how being played by Jeff Davis. The
patriotism of our people, and Ids imbecility
was our safety.”' ... ■ .
■ But, we have evidence of n more rooenfcdatd,
that the radicals are still after the President
with a very sharp stick. The New York
World; an, able and influential Republican
■paper, in its issue of two weeks since copied,
the following from tho London Economist:
, “ Ilad Englishmen soon what
have, their resources of men and money frit-,
tered add wasted away, without achievement
and without glory, in, stupid enterprises and
shameful failures, wo would have hung Mr.
Lincoln, Mr. Stanton, or somebody.”
The World comments on the above in these
words: i.
“ Very true; Hr. Lincoln has done that
in this country which host one monarch
in England his head, and another his throne.
Goneially, this remedy, if sometimes slow, is
effective : but there is no telling how soon or
how much we may improve in our mode of
redressing wrongs, if things continue as they
are much longer. Wo are a quick people,
and not too proud to take a useful lesson even
from England. As to Stauton, the Econo
mist is correct in its assertion tiiat had Stan
ton boon retained in power in England, as ho
has been here, against tho wish and in utter
defiance of nearly the ,whole people, his bo-,
whiskered and dull face would long ere this
have leered from the top of a piko.”
Now, was it a very heinous offence in ns
after those threats had been made against the
President and tho Government, coupled‘with
’thofact that throe great Northern States had
just condemned the administration, to suggest
to Mr. Lincoln tho propriety of him resign-
ing, and that “ho should be glad to ho per
mitted to do so?” This pjot against the Pre
sident and the Government has not boon
abandoned by tho Abolition clans, and if they
were sure they could bo successful, they
would make tho attempt before tho end of a
fortnight, to seize, by force, tho roins of
power. It was to tboso circumstances we
referod in our short article from which the
,Herald published an extract in its last.
Every man of sense and every reading man
well understood us, and so did even the stupid
Herald , but it was moan enough to misconstrue
the moaning of our remarks,, and accuse us
with originating tho idea, that violence he
need against the President. It is your own
party friends, Mr. Herald, who are responsi
ble for tho idea, and you know it, and never
had a word of condemnation to say against
the conspirators. ,
inT’Will any one be found foolish enough
to say a largo majority of the People of Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Indiana are “Seoosh sym
pathisers” ?— Exchange.
Oh yes, plenty will ho found who reiterate
the monstrous lie, hut they are the men who
are in favor of th» war being continued to mo
indefinite period, so that they may coin mon
ey out of men’s blood and woman’s tears.—
Democrats are for putting the war through
as soon as possible.

It doos not become civilians to bo constant
ly Boding fault with our army movements.
Wo havo refrained doing, so. But, really,
the pooploaroheooming clamorous for a more
vigorous prosoentionof the war, and it is not
much wonder. It-lsmore. than probable
that wo shallhave a long and a aevoro win
ter, and it is not strange therefore, that all
classes of onr people have a dread of our
troops passing another winter in tents and in
idleness.;. Tho following remarks of the
Philadelphia Inquirer are sonsiblo and to'tbd
points ' . -
, There are not’wanting instances in -flip
history of warfare in phioh'tho ■Pahaih fsJlioy.;
of delay lias been crowned with large sbeoßss.
.When a weaker forpo is,.-confronted by_ a
stronger to delay a conflict maysometinios give
an opportunity to strike a snoboSsltil -blow.
When a hostile force, ho it groivtol-Ur shia.ll-,
or, id hold together by no Rrmliepm’Of unibif,;
to allow it to fall to pieces by itself is often thb;
cheapest possible way to secure its destruc
tion. , It was with this in view that tlieDukri
Alva, in the Netherlands, continually (IbOlih--
od tho offers of battle made to hirfi by 'thof
Prince of Orange, and allowed the bloso of the;
campaign ,to arrive vy 1 1 1\ no decisive ,move-;
mfcnt on his own part. . lie suffered the, ene-i
my to go unmolested into winter Quarters,
and the forces of Orange wasted away rapid
ly, and loft him no foe to fear. ;
Biit it is no less true, as a general rule in
war as well as. in peace, that “ delays are
dangerous.’?, It was tlio delay, of a few brief
hours tb»t'prevented Marlborough from raak
ing Waterloo -as memorable on the 18th of
August, doos, ns Wellington made it on the'
ISth flay of Juno, 1815. The Dutch Gener
al Slnngenborg delayed tho attack by his:
outcries against the- plan of Marlborough,
until tho sun was down ; and by the dawn of
the following day the lines of the French
were too strongly entrenched to be safely at
tached. By the failure of our, troopsto ad
vance, ns had boon expected, to tho attack on
Bull Ron, on Friday, the 19th, instead of
Sunday, tho 21st,' of,July, Johnston’s forces
word able to come to tho aid of Beauregard,
and wo were compelled to fall back and pro
long vastly,tho war.
It is a good rulo which has been laid down
for the prosecution of war—“ Whatever yon
do. as soon as you have made your plan and
taken the decision to act upon it , act with the
utmost speed, ,so that you may obtain your ob
ject before tho enemy suspects what you aro
about.” Such was the policy to which Na
poleon was wpnt to adhere. It was a
com mon saying, of his whon an olßcor
asked for time to execute his, commands
—“ Ask me for anything except for time.”
As time is money in. the. offairs of life,
so it. is power, it is, ordinarily, success in
military movements. A military chief needs
to be chary of days, or of hours, as. a miser
isofhis dollars and cents, ;If lip knows hot
howto value time,, let, him lead patient
draught-horses on the tow-path of the canal,;
but let him notuiiderfake to lead armies, and
peril those vast interests that hang on their
fate.' ’ ' , ,
These considerations props upon the popu
lar mind at this junetiirevritli special force.
Each day the sun is receding southward;
and it is followed in its ejurso by the chilly
blasts of winter from Alrtic regions. Memories;
too, of the army floundering in the mud of;
the last winter about Washington come back
upon them. The spoil that bound them there
was not broken till spring came on, making
long months - of eager, impatient watching,
which men bore as best they, might, but
which they do not wish to have to endure
again. All conspire in the wish that the lea
ders of our furoOs will hold, time to bo pro
elans, and in the desire that our forces may
more southward with the southward tending;
sun. . 1 , , ,
Hence the, deep aqil universal satisfaction
with-which the;f hear,jtf the ami}' in motion,
and the fervent and Ivvirt-fulfc “ God speed” •
which they send aftocb;t. .They want proofs
of vigor,.and carneatnres oh the .part .of its
leaders, first, , in’ ordec, to win scoossos, and
thftn, when successes are won, to make them
decisive.- ■
We Hope Not.—We see it stated that the
drafted men are to bo sent forward as rapidly
as possible, “ to fill up old Regiments.” Wo
hope there may bo Como mistake in this.
Those drafted men have been torn from their
homes and their families,.in many instances,
under very distressing circumstances, and
yet, being grouped together in companies,
from the same neighborhoods and counties,
they are are, to a certain extent, consoled by
each other, and in case of need they can
assist each other. But now, if they ore to he
separated and scattered among strangers and
in different.regiments, it will add largely to
the hardships they must onduro at host.
Wo think it would ho a much bettor plan to
have tho old regiments consolidated, and the
officers thrown out sent liopio on the recruit
ing service, or, in some instances, pnt into the
now regiments to drill and prepare tho drafted
men for service.
While on this snhjoet, wo way ask why it
is that thousands and tens of thousands
of those who have enlisted for throe years,
and who have received large bounties, and
have been drilling, for the last four or five
months, are scattered all over tho North,
passing their time in idleness ?Why are they
told that they are to remain in .“ winter
quarters,” hundreds of miles from the fields
of battle? Why also, are regulars stationed
in largo numbers, at all our military posts"?
If the Government con afford to show favors
to those in its service, it appears to ns the
drafted men—hundreds of whom are literally
ruined by leaving their homes at tills time
should bo the favored.. They got no bounty,
noroven blankets,.and not as much pay as
regulars and onlistod'men. Ton per cent, of
them are married men whose families cannot'
well affprd to spore the husband and father.
We hope ®bv. CuaijN will think of these
things, and see to ■i it that the fovors of
Government are ot least equally distributed.
Lot the drafted men lie formed into regiments
by themselves. |

One of tho expedients resorted to by tho
Abolition traitors to prop up, thoir infamous
cause during tlio lato political contest • was
ahusß of Mr. Hogues, tlio able Chairman of
tho'Democratic -’State 'Central Committee.—
Never wosm man fjet tor abused. According
to Aboßtion journals, ho was in" correspond-.,
■onoo 'With -Jeep Davis," was a “ traitor,” a
“ secessionist,” and indeed everything that
Wits had. Tbeso journals did,not attempt to
answer the Addresses issued by Mr. Hughes’
Committee, but they imagined they could
break tho force of those powerful appeals by
assaulting the Chairman of the Committee. —
This was the understanding with them from
one end of tire Stale to tho other, and every
Abolition our was yelping at Mr. Hughes’-
liools. The people at tho polls, have an
swered* those hired slanderers. It appears
they believed in the principles enunciated by
tho Democratic State Central Committee, and
did •nOt'bolrevO tho liars who wore engaged
in rillifyiag Mr. Hughes. Pennsylvania has
rebuked those infamous men; and Schuyl
kill county, tho homo of Francis W. Hughes,-
gives a Democratic majority of over 1,000 !
Mr. Hughes, therefore, stands vindicated, and
his bools are bn. the necks of his tradueers;
the principles he inculcated endorsed by a
discriminating people, lie occupies a proud
position, and it is quite probable, the people
may call upon him to assume a responsible
post in tho,councils of tho nation.
Tlio Effctl of it.
The effect produced in some quarters by
oar late State election, says the Pittsburg
Post, is truly marvelous. Chevalier Forney,
for instance, who, until the votes were count
ed and announced, imagined, that his mongrel
party bad gained ri tremendous victory, is the
most changed specimen of a dilapidated poli
tician wo know of. Ho is of the shabby gen
teel stylo, little bettor than Robert Maoalre.
Before, the election bo'announced that , the
President’s Emancipation Proclamation was
to, be the “testof loyalty” to the government.
On the evening of the election, I icing full of
supper and exhilerating draughts, ho de

by fifty thousand majority, and in the ox- :
überanoe of his joy proposed to substitute the
John Brown fussy doggerel for the inspiring
strains of the Star Spangled Banner; A>
soon as the fever loft his brain the Chevalier
began to realize the troth of the result of the
contest; his fifty thousand majority were like
Faktaffk antagonists, men in buckram. lie
at once discovered the blunder bo had com
muted’ during the canvass, and announced
that “ citizens who had vpted the Democratic
ticket must not bo called disloyal." In fact,
the result of the election changed Forney’s
tone entirely,and.should the conservatives in
the different Stales voting on the 4tb of this
month succeed; we would not be surprised to
sec him whirl round and abuse the Aboli
tionists as bo-used to, when'in the employ of
tho “sage of Wheatland'.” The following
extract frOm the Press does’nt look as if its
author considers adherence to tho President’s
proclamation a true test of loyalty; nor. docs
it look as if ho was enthusiastic in his'desiro
to have “ Hail Columbia ’’ furgotton, ih' the
hope of substituting in its stead tlie crafey
effuSion denominated “ Old John Brawn.”—
Says the Chevalier:
- “ The unii-slaoery- ultras, who, in order to.
gei'rid of slavery, have always been ready'to
yield up the Union. The question now to be
met is whether the people of tho United
States are ready to consent to the overthrow
of tho republic, under the quadruple influ
ence of foreign intervention, rebel force, sym
pathizing intrigue and tile willingness of hu
manitarian anti-slavery men to give up tho
Union in order that wo may he out loose from
slavery?"
[TT” Tho Herald, in speaking of the recent
raid upon our office, volunteers Its advice to
us. It says:
“ Evil doings are often not without good
results, and our best wishes are that this
affair may have tho offset of so changing tho
spirit and tone of the Volunteer, ns to give its
enemies no further cause of complaint, and
its friends no reason to blush at its disloyalty.”
Well, as the crew about tho Herald im our
« enemies,” wo invito them to visit our office
unco a week (in day-light hereafter, if you
please,) so that wo may submit the “ spirit”
of our editorials to their inspection. We
generally prepare our inside form matter on
Monday .forenoon, so that tho afternoon of
that day will answer for tho time of inspec
tion. Lot them all come—the rag, tag and
hob-taiis, the blind and the halt, who do up
the classical effusions for that dignified, hut
unappreciated paper. Wc promise to receive
those “enemies” with as good » gra.ee as wc
can, and then kick thorn down stairs as a
parting salutation. As to the “ blushes” of
our friends, wo think wo will ho able to put
,up with them. They blushed considerable
on the second Tuesday of October, hut not
withstanding this innocent weakness, they
thrashod the traitor Abolitionists most un
mercifully, branded thosa who-caUDemo-i

the Herald and the name Emeu by over

Death of Lieut. Wigwam G. Duncan.—
It becomes our painful duty this week to re
cord the death of Lieutenant Win. G. Dun
can, which occurred in this borough on Tues
day morning last, at the residence of his
father, Mr, John B. Duncan, A fow months
since the deceased, impelled by a sense of
duty ho owed his country, associated himself
with Captain Spehso, of Nowville. for the pur
pose of forming a company of cavalry. With
untiring zeal ho lalprod until he had tho
gratification of witnessing the entire accom
plishment of his wishes. Scarcely had the
company been organized and accepted by .the
Government; when, perhaps, from tho effects
of over-exertion and exposure in the work,
Lieut. D. was seized with a violent attack of
tbetyphoid fever. lie was brought homo, and,
although kind and loving friends ministered
to his,every want, he has fallen in tho spring
tiipo of his life a victim of tho Destroyer.
He was a young man of excellentqualities,
i and gave promise of a long life of usefulness
; and honor. —Shippensburg News. .

The AjiotmoN Funeral DmuE.— -On the
night of the election, when tho success of the
Abolition ticket in Philadelphia had deluded
poor John Poenev into the belief that the
Abolitionists had carried Pennsylvania by
“fifty thousand majority”.(as ho claimed it,)
lie grow so enthusiastic over a serenade that
was given him, that he called on tho band to,
play “that grand National Song entitled
“John Brown's Body lies mouldering in the
Gravel” Tho Band responded, and poor Poa
,vbt—if report speaks truth—joined lustily in
the chorus. Littlo'did he think that ho was
chanting the funeral dirge of Abolitionism I
But so it was. Tho 50,000 majority didn’t
hold out, and good old Pennsylvania turned
tip on tlio Democratic side to tho tune of 3,-

delight'in.” . '
• “ Traitors’ in our Midst.”—Now that the
elections in the States which voted Oct. 14th,
show that; according to Abolitionism, a ma
jority of their citizens are “traitors” to their
Government, we propose that ail snch should
he prevented from serving in the army here
after. Wo also propose that those in the
army, officers and privates, be immediately
dismissed, and their places filled by “true
men,” which* in AbolUion slang, means Abo
litionists. Having sent about “ nine-tenths”
of those in the field, our opponents should
send the other tenth, 'and not htiva oiir cause
hampered by “armed traitors” in the;field.
Lot McClellan, Halleck, Buell, McCail, Cor
coran, Meagher, and the hundreds of other
Democratic “traitors” bo dismissed, .and
their, places given to Fremont, Greeley, For
ney, Sumner, and other “ loyal men." Until
this is done, there can be no hope for the suc
cess of our arms—that is according to Aboli
tion teaching. _
JDSSf The Easton .Argus says, “ It is a sin
gular but not unnatural fact that every coun
ty. that was tory in the Revolution, such as
Lancaster, Chester. Delaware, &c„ are aboli
tion now. Oh ! the contrary,' every county
that warmly sustained the patriotDanse in the
revolution, now upholds the Democratic party.
The descendants of the men, who under the
infamous rule of bid John Adams, supported
the-despotism, alien and sedition laws, gag
laws, stamp and window taxes, .imprisomont
of Democrats, and all other obnoxious mea
sures of that odious administration, now sus
tain all the obnoxious measures of the present
Administration, including negro prnclnma-
tions, Fort Lafayette and all. Thera’s a
groat deal in the Wood and breed of men.
Men whose fathers were .lories in revolutiona
ry days never grow up Democrats.”
Mr. Hughes “ at Home.” —The Democrat
do citizens of Pottsville have resolved to testi
fy their appreciation of their eminent follow
townsman, tho lion. Francis W. Hughes, by
presenting biro with a handsome silver ser
vice. A largo meeting was held on the sub
ject, on the evening of tho 18th ult., and the
accessary preliminary arrangements were
made.' In order to give all an opportunity to
contribute, the subscriptions wore limited to
one dollar each, •
The vote of Schuylkill county is something
for Mr. Hughes and his friends to be proud of,
especially when tho energetic attempts to in
jure him, and through him, his party are
considered, and it is at the same timea burn
ing rebuke to Messrs. Looser, Tower, Camp
bell and others, who stooped- to unworthy
means to injure him. The Democratic ma
jority in Schuylkill is 1614. This is a gain of
1857 over Poster’s vote. '
Tub Renegades Rewarded. —The rene
gade John Rowe, late,Speaker of the House,
has been elected to stay at home. The same
is time of Ross, Chatham, and Btrsnv, all of
whom opted with the Abolitionists last win-'
ter, although , elected bs “ Union Democrats;”
The Patriot and Union, speaking of the de
feat of these renegades, says! “ Tho lesson
will not be fruitless. With the stamp of
opostaoy ilpon their foreheads, we shall see
those traitors henceforward sink lower and
lower in the estimation of honorable men of
all parties.” And again: ‘‘They will share
the fate of their loader, Forney, and become,
if not wanderers, at least political vagabonds
upon tho face of the earth, shunned and ab
horred by all who have not fallen as low as
themselves.” ,
Senator Foote, op Vermont. —The Hon.
Solomon Tooth, who has just been ro-eleoted
to tho United States Senate, made an address
before, the members of the Vermont Legisla
ture, on tho 24th ultimo. Mr. F., who is a
conservative Republican, in the course of his
speech, perpetrated an amusing joke upon
tho radicals among his audience—a joke by
which he drew cheers from tho abolition
benches by fraud —though a pious fraud, per
haps'. '
“ I am for making this an Abolition war,”
ho said, in his stentorian voice. [Cheers from
tho radicals.] “ I repeat,” said ho, “J am
for an Abolition War,” [Lend cheers-from

applause generally.]'

Our troops proceeded from Hilton Soafi on
the night of tho 21st, and were conveyed in

so much of tho destruction of tho railroad as
could bo'done in a single day.
In this attempt our forces were victorious.
Having mot tlid enemy in large numbers they
drove tjjem across the Poootaligo river. Out
loss, however, was very severe. Our soldiers '
and sailors fought splendidly throughout, and
our batteries wore worked with great skill
and effect.
Thc Union forces were under the command
of Brigadier General J; M. Brannan, General
terry, being second in command. The rebels
were commanded by Colonel Walker until
our arrival at Pocotalig'o Bridge, when Beau
regard, who had just arrived from Charleston
commanded the rebels in person. Fresli
troops rapidly arriving from Charleston to re
inforce the rebels, bur .troops were withdrawn
in fine order, General Terry remaining on
shore at Maekay’s Point until the last man
had re embarked, when the buildings, which
had been occupied byGhe rebel pickets, wore
fired and destroyed. .
Of the forces composing the expedition,
wore the 47th Pennsylvania, commanded by
Lieut. Col. G. W. Alexander, of Beading, Pa.,

and the 76th Pennsylvania,,Col Strawbridge.

If heavy losses may indicate gallantry, the
palm may be given to Colonel Good’s noble ,

Loyalty and Disloyalty.
Tho Journal of Commerce says:—Wo hove
a remarkable state’ of affairs now exhibited in
this country. That party spirit against which
all the groat and good men of old time warn
ed tho citizens of the American Republic,
but which humanity,-perhaps, mustfall into*
has led us to an opening ot a campaign iff
which one party without hesitation pronoun
ces tho other traitorous and rebellious. This
is tho highest fever of party spirit. It would
lend at tho next step to battle for personal
safety, since the party thus denouncing its
opponents must .necessarily insist on tho pro
priety of imprisoning and executing the trai
tors, while the latter, if they believe them
selves loyal, must necessarily demand that
their trial be held in due form of Jaw, ana
justify resistance to all attempts at executing
them without regular process, conviction and

There stands the fact in tho history of
America, that two great portions wore en
gaged in civil war, and one of thoso portions
being divided into two parties on the ques
tions growing out of the war, one party pro
nounces tho other a rebellious and traitorous
party. - .
But the next fact is more startling still.-y
It appears at the election that the patty thus
branded as traitors and rebels aw in a large,
majority in the three great States of Penhsyl-,
vnnia, Ohio and Indiana, and this, leads to.
the belief that they will be in vastly larger
majority in the Empire State. What, then,
becomes of the parly which boasted its ley
nltyand abused its opponents? Can a ma
jority of the people of the United, States be,
treasonable in a mere matter of opinion as to
the, policy which should control the war i ~
Never was a more tremendous rebuke g>ycn,
to the madness of Abolition radicalism than
it has received in the result of thoso elections.
Now, as heretofore, the Abolition leaders have
endeavored to keep back all the real issues
out of sight, and persuade the people that urn
question before them was a question ot loya
iy or treason. But with that issue offered py
