AMERICAN VOLUNTEER. I. BBiTTIW, Editor & Proprietor. CARLISLE, PA., OCTOBER 29,1863: !Cr* J. W. Smu.ev has just opened a large nnd desirable assortment ut Winter Clothing, Boots, Shoes and Hats, to which attention is particularly invited. Let all in need of such articles give him a call, ns ho promises to please both in goods and prices. You can depend upon goods proving to be as good as they are recommended, lie will let no wan undcrsel him. Do not fnilto give him a call Official Majorities. — Wo have at length the official returns from, every county in the State. Curtin’s majority is 15,325 ; and Aone:v’s majority 12,402. In our next wo will publish the vote of the several counties. ■ Chestnuts. —The chestnut crop this fall is unusually large, and great'quantitiosof these nuts are offered for sale in our markot.-r- Eight cents per quart is the ruling price. . Money Warned. Wb want money and must have it. Will not those of our patrons v, ho know themselves indebted to us, either for subscription or ad ’ veftising, do us the favor to pay up? Our expenses are heavy and must bo met; and wo can see no way of meeting our indebted ness than by those indebted to us coming to our assistance. Who’ll bo the first to respond? Don’t all speak at once,'gentlemen, but.come along with the cash. If you can’t come in person, you can send the amount due us with .one.of your neighbors or by mail.Wo repeatit,wo want money and must have U. j ~ jS/g.v or Another Dehei. Raid into pen Valeev;— Wo noticed in the cars going East, a day or twoago, Col. McGuire, of the Cham bershurg , Repository, lie looked pale and haggard,.aUd had very muph the appearance ho presented in June last, when, " he turned tail and run,” after hearing that thorcbels were approaching Chamborsburg. This is evidence of another rebel raid, as the valiant Colonel always makes it a point to doff K' s ‘‘loyal” boat of mail and get out of harm’s way ns rapidly as possible. Our merchants, therefore, may as well pack- up their goods and be off, fur the Colonel is a never-failing raid barometer. Let them be warned; when McClure runs, look out for the.rebels. Important Alteration- in the -School Lair.—Tho.aUenlion.of our renders is direct ed to the fact that, by the act of April 14th, 1803, the sum appropriated for the support of common schools for thq school year ending on the first Monday of June, 1804, is to bo divided among the several districts, in pro portion to the number of children attending school therein, and not, ns formerly, accord ing to the number of resident tuxnbles. This is dn important'alteration, and will mnto-i rially change the ainounts received by the different’districts.. Now, .as we understand the subject, Hie greater the number 'of schol ars, and the hioro regular their attendance upon the public scho'ols, the greater will he the amount of money received from the State treasury. ■ Deatii of a “Fast.Female."- pained to learn that the famous trotting mare Flora Temple,” which .has got over the ground in hotter time than any other piece of. horse . flesh bn record) died at Belfast, Maine, oh the, 19th instant. She had trot ted at Bangor a few days previously, and look a sudden cold, which brought on-an attack of the distemper, of which .-she died. No more shall the dashing “ Flora” outstrip her envious rivals on the course, cheered on hy thousands, and making fortunes for her own ers and fame for herself; no longer shall we read of her "killing pace” past the quar ter pole, or her “splendid brushes” and “magnificent rallies" on’ the home stretch. Her' astonishing career is ended; she. has trotted her last trot; she has returned to the dust, and can “git up and dust” no more.— Sic transit gloria Temple! The Draft.—On tlio ovo of the election, says the I’alriol & Union, the people were assured hy the loaders of the Abolition party that Woodward's election would necessarily be followed hy another draft;, aiv.l this state ment, made in the most positive manner, probably aided in defeating him. The elec tion had scarcely closed and the victory of the Administration been announced," when lo 1 Abraham Lincoln issues bis proclama . tion for a draft of 300,000 more men. The election of Curtin has not, therefore, helped the people of Pennsylvania much in this re spect, and wo do not think it will in any other. There was a ohaneo of bettering the condition of things by the election of Wood ward—there was none whatever of doing so by electing Curtin, and yet ho was elected. By. and by the people will open their eyes to . the falsehoods and follies, the corruption and ■wickedness of thq Abolition party, when neither the patronage of the President nor Ibo , greenbacks of ,Mr. Chase can save them from defeat—until then wo must boar patiently the evils that are upon us. In regard to the now draft, wo hope that all loyal men, and particularly the veri/ loyal men of the party in power, who have not yet J 1 done any fighting, will ho ready to boar their | ’ portion of the burden of the war, I. Arsitop the Potomac. —Forney’s Wash ington Chronicle, of the 23d inst, announces tho arrival of Gen. M 3 ado in Washington, and adds that the former announcement that lie had boon ordered to pursue Lee and make him fight was true—but the-General has in formed the'Prosidont that he " cannot make a forward movement under throe weeks at least, oh account of tho condition of tho rail road, whiuh has boon utterly destroyed;”— This being tho ease wo may as well consider the fall campaign of tho Army of tho Potom ac closed, unless the weather should prove unusually propitious. I •> TUB PEACE MEN.’/ The Abolition journals spin out ft grout many yarns in denunciation of.the 11 peace men” and the “ pence party.” To rend them, week in and week out, almost any ono would bp led to bolievn that tbo great and uncon querable Democratic party in the Northern States favors an immediate peace “ on iiucb terms as tbo rebels may dictate,” to uso the language of an Abolition paper before us.— Now, every man of sense knows this to ho a falsehood from the whole cloth. The Demo crats of tlio North aro in favor of poaco, it is true, but they demand a whole Union at the same time. “ The Union ns it was and the Constitution as it is,” has been tlio glorious motto of the Democratic party from the hour fort Sumter was tired upon by South Caroli na rebels. Our resolutions, our speakers,' our editors, our candidates for office,.have stood upon this platform :from the first. To say, therefore, that iho Democrats are in fa vor of peace with a divided Union, is an as sertion as brazen ns it is false. No!—the only men who proposed and advocated a disr solution of the Union arc the present loaders of the Abolition party. And Ibe .first speech made in Congress in defence of the right of secession nnd rebellion, was delivered by a -fourth-rate lawyer nnd exceedingly little man, named Ade Lincoln, of Illinois. lip was far in advance of .Jeff, Davis, for when he made his speech in favor of rebellion nnd tlio right of States-to secede and go out of the I Union, Davis opposed the heresy. These are facts, nud cannot ho controverted. If any Abolitionist dares deny them, wo will point him to LiNboEN’s,speech in Congress, as re ported in the ‘‘Congressional Globe,” and after ho reads.it,. ho will be compelled to agree with us that Abraiiam.Lincoi.k preach ed treason long before Jeff. Davis did. Wc say, then, that the Democratic.party is not in (avor u[ peace, except it bo with a whole Union, and an unabridged. Constitu tion. We are for the Union ns it was, and the Constitution ns.it is. Can any Aboli tionist—particularly. if he be seeking favors from the administration—say ns much ? No, Abolitionists dare not stand in the pfos- I once of Abe I. and Say they desire to see the / war ended arid the Union restored, with all the rights of: the'several States guaranteed. They dare not make this, averment, we say, for fenrof hoingoalled “ copperheads”;by the great-little men who compose the adminis tration-. It is not for the Union, but fur the abolition of slavery, that such men ns Phil lips, Beecher, Greely, Wilson, Sumner, Jim Cane, and traitors like them desire to see the war go on. What cafe they how long it lasts? They arc all, piling up princely for tunes, and hut one 1 of them has a sou.or rela tive in the army. “ More men, riiore money,”' is the voice that comes from Washington every fortnight, and these words are ru-eohoe.l by .Republican sharks from one end of .{lie country to the other, nod they call this “loy alty," patriotism," Ao. Oh, what villainies have been perpetrated in the name of “pa triotism,” and how much souuiAlrelism is covered up by mock professions of “ loyalty.” But, a word about peace. The political Abolitionist arid the entire anriy'o! “loyal.” thieves who are in favor-.of the strife going on forever, would cry down any man who dares rivexpress the hope that this intestine, war may soon eud, followed by. permanent peace. They -would persecute the men who desire to seo our people restored to a State of unity; but .yet. “ blessed are the peaoo-ma korsj tor they shall bo called the children of God.” Why should it be considered “ dis loyal” to desire peace ? In tho-namo.of im munity, have the Abolition sharks,who have become fat on blood arid tears, no Are they not sufficiently stuffed and gorged, and are wei never to have peace? What do these scoundrels mean when they say they are opposed to police? Do they suppose all the young men in the country (wo mean the poor young iric-n, for the rich can.pnreliaso themselves out of the army for §300,) trinst lay down their lives to please them, and.ang ment tlieir fortunes? It seems so, indeed, ami this is termed “loyalty!” Away with such loyalty as this—a loyalty that delights in nothing but blood and “ green-backs.” Wo favor pence —an honorable peace—and (tad wo an administration of statesmen in-, stead of grasping, speculating, fanatical pig lilies, this war could riot last sixty davs; indeed, it should have ended inside of six .months after it commenced. We have now been engaged in a contest, such ns the world never witnessed, for over two and a-half years, and yet the war goes on, fiercer than ever. When will it terminate, if Jlr. Lin cojjj, s. idea of freeing the slaves and suhju, gating the South is to ho the cm] and object of the war? Not during ibis generation,- that is certain. . ’—"U'e aro • SZr" Thcllent/il of hist week, in attempting to account for the large majority the Hbmo crntio ,ticket received in. South Middleton township, attributes it to the fact that a “ rebel" who was “captured at Gettysburg, and afterwards ran away from our forces," was permitted to vote! Not a particle of truth in this statement. Thus. Wii.son, the “ rebel” rofered to, is a native of Pennsylva nia, and never gave up his residence. lie was in the South when the war broke out, and was conscripted into the rebel service, lie was in the battle at Gettysburg, where ho deserted from the. enemy, took the oath of came to Cumberland county, wdioro he procured work, was assessed, paid taxes, andVotod. That is the whole story about tho " rebel," die was clearly entitled to his vote, ns any m,an acquainted with our election laws will adiAit. He was not brought to (own by Mr. Seakiuut, tho gentleman in whoso employ ho was. Mr. S. did nofseo him the entire day ; so that part of the story is equally false. ,j ET’Tho Administration re-inforceil Penn sylvania with about 20,000 soldiers, in order to gain a political victory. By doing this they so weakened Gen. Meade’s army that Lee was enabled to drive it into Washing ton. How long, oh! how long, will tho peo ple endorse such diabolical trifling with the best interests of tho nation ? 1 V lO 1 m , us ] sr,l t« in Minnessnfa linvo double lined their nests, and the trout have already loft the small creeks for deep holes sure indications, says tho St, Paul Presi of ns severe a winter ns that of 1R57. when the same occurrences were observed. hie cm:\rii;s me rebels inv hied. In their invasion of I’onnnyh ania Inst Juno, tiro rebels, under command of Kweu., entered five counties, vir. s-r Adams, Frank lin, Fulton, Cumberland, and York. During the Into political compoign Abolition ornlors and editors attempted tomnko votes fortb.oir woolybead ticket in tboso five counties by representing that Curtin bud “ been prompt in raising a force to drive beck the' invaders, and Mint to bim (Curtin.) wore tbo people of those counties indebted for being relieved of their rebel guests.” The, people of the 11 vo 1 counties huiiiod, however, could not see the affair in this light. They'remembered that tbo Democratic Governors of New York and Now Jersey bad sent some 40,000 troops to our assistance, but they bad no recollection that Curtin sent a soldier hero until after the rebels had left. But, as wo said, the Ab olitionists in these five onnnties tried their best to make capital for Curtin out of the rebel raid. Well, lot ns'see how the people answered them. By comparing the vote of 1800 (Curtin’s first election,) with tbo vote of this year, we find that the Democrats gained in the five counties 1,8841 Thus:— In 1800 Adams county gave 70 majority against Cur'tin. This, year it gives. 228 against him. Franklin county gave Curtin in 1800, 074 majority. Tins year it gives him ICC. Fulton county in 18(30 gave 129 of a Democratic majority. Thiayear .it gives. 201 Democratic'majority. Cumberland coun-, ty in 1800 gave 91 majority for Foster, the Democratic candidate. This year it gives Woodward G4l majority. , York in 18(10gave Foster 1,343. This year it gives Woodward. 2,559. 'Democratic majority in these five counties in 1800, 1,G39. .Deinoonitio major ity in the same counties this year, 3,523. — r Gain for the Democrats 1,884! That is the way the people answered the appeals of the Curtin spoolers. ; Those who Suffered by the rebel invasion knew whore to ■place the blame, and who to hold responsi ble, and they spoke ,in a'voice not to be, mis understood, against the imbecile C cntiy . | They felt what it,was to have n man in the Executive chair who lacked nerve and abili ' ty when rebels confronted him, and they fe- I corded their verdict against him. This is the most direct robuko-tho-shoddy candidate received—a rebuke from those who lost their property owing to the cowardice and inoom potcncy of Andv Curtin. Had it not been for the picked Republican, troops who were sent homo at the expense of tlio Government to vote down the people, the majority against Curtin in' the five counties named would have reached 4,000; Thanksgiving Day. President Lincoln Inis appointed a day of thanksgiving. We are of opinion that the present state of the country is not at all suit ed to jubilation. There is much, very much, in oar condition to thunk God for ; but. wo have so sinfully opposed bis merciful dispen sations by the destructive and malignant'op orations of war, that it would much more become us to prostrate ourselves before fJti.ni in sackcloth and ashes. A Hew York cutcm" porary.snjs;., “‘Wo: praise Thee, good Lord;’ is to n certain' degree associated with ‘Good Lord deliver us.’ Can wo render thank's for such a Cabinet as the President is surrounded 1.-. y —for What is dune at ihe War Cilice, anii for what is not done by the navy? Can the country thiink God that General ilosebrniis is compelled,to advance into the enemy's terri tory against .’his own convictions, and wilh an insufficient force, so-that our arms sustain a defeat and,that over ten thousand citizens of the republic niekilleil ami maimed tone good-purpose? Can wo thank God (or a war that ha's lusted nearly three ynars.'w hen it should Imre been enejed in one? Can we thank Gad for the 'immense damage done-to the commerce by the Alabama and- tho-I'lor ida—ior.ithe twelve millions of dollars worth (but Muffit boasts to have destroyed, and-tbi- Hie sixty four captures made by Sominos? Wo can appreciate the emphatic ; i\ T » !’ witli which the country may answer these queries Evidently we canuot-givo thanks for these • ami j-hcreis, therefore, a deficiency in' the President's proclamation. - With his nation al thanksgiving Day ho shimhl have associa ted a not less national fast day. on which the whole'-country .might feel abundantly humiliated that the President’s advisers are no wiser or better than they arc. Let lisC then, when the thanksgiving is well done with, have another day upon which the whole country may formally moni-ii in, sackcloth and ashes oyer Chase and Stanton, llalleck and Welles; over the imbecilities of ouch and the persistent blunders of all • over the ■vices and weakness of the War ami Xnvy Departments alike, and over -the awful loss that they have caused the country.” Paiulvzin-g the Akjiv.— Finding flint lie nnd IlaUcck.could'not sufficiently paralvzo the armies of the Ohio and the Cumberland hy orders, from Washington, Stanton has ■ gone all the way to Chattanooga to aeooni.. plash it, Were the rebels to gobble him up" on his way they would render a "rent service to the country. There is no man near the President except perhaps Ilalleck-sn thoroughly detested, hy the people,- and the wonder grows why, in 'spite of this detesta tion, he is still continued in office. Since the fact is clearly ascertained that the Secre tary of War has gone to Chattanooga, we tremble for the Army of the Cumberland and are prepared to hear at any time of the complete discomfiture and the loss of every inch of territory wo have gained in Tennea see, Alabama, and even Mississippi. Apart from connection with Stanton wo have full confidence in Gon, Grant-in connection with him, none whatever. What is Rosecbans Nowf-A few days ago the whole Abolition press sang pecans to Rosocrnns, the victor of a dozen fields. Then ■ bo was a great General, a Hero, a Patriot— llow 18 it now ? Stricken down by the Wat Department, they howl around him like a parcel -of jaokal/s, seeking to gorge their foul appetites on his dead body. How shameful his is. The Hero of yesterday, proscribed by tho administration, is tho Incompetent, the Lunatic, the Epileptic, the Sluggard nay. oven the Coward of to-day. - Language has no force to brand this contemptible sab semeney, this cold-blooded, merciless and morceimry conduct as it deserves.

This is the reward of merit and patriot,sm, tho price pain fur eminent services hy on.--rronesr President and his exccniblc Sccrchiry. j The finv'Cmiscrlpllon. The President has made a’call for 300,000 more troops, vgluntoors to bo accepted ml til tbo first of January next, and the balance then found wanting to bo drafted. Thiswili show tbo people bow much reliance is to bo placed on Republican premises. Before the election tbo llcpubiican pnpers and orators assured the people that no draft would bo necessary unless the Democratic party was successful. Stevens, of Lancaster, in his stump speeches, said that ” if bis party was triumphant, arms enough \Vnnld be put into the willing bands of (ho negroes lb speedily .crush the rebellion, and that no more white men would bo needed and yet tbo election returns which announce'a groat Abolition triumph are hardly footed up until .a proc lamation is issued calling for 300,000 more. But our object in alluding to tbo coming conscription was not to show the falsehood practiced by tbo Abolition, party daring the late election—for that is a work of saperoo gntion—but to express a hope that before this draft takes place, tbo Congress which meets in December next, will.strike from the conscription not the odious three hundred dollar exemption clause. If we must enlarge, the body-guard of “ John Brown’s soul ns it goes marching on,” if Wo must have more enslaved white men in order to free the “ eter nal nigger;”, let the Conscription at least fall upon all classes alike. Lot further guards and :cheo.ks,-ho’ thrown around the en rollment ami the draft; lot every depart ment Of the process bo conducted fairly and justly; and then lot, every-one upon whom its iron‘band falls bo forced to .go; let not this heavy, burthen bo borne by ■ the poor man aio'no. The Responsibility, The most effective argument of the Aboil- tidnists in tiro lute canvass was the cry that it was necessary to show an unbroken front to the enemy, and to 'sustain the Govern*' menti The fallacy lurking beneath this ap peal is plain enough, but it is not surprising that many should have been deceived by .it; and wo are very free to admit, as the New York Trilm'ue' frankly (Joes,'Unit- thousands voted for.

The country.will now have an 'opportunity'to determine tlio value of the confident, predictions of the Ad ministration stipendiaries. The Democratic party, numbering more than one half of the honest voters of Pennsylvania, end offering no factious or unpatriotic opposition p,von to the measures of'W.hielr it disapproved, has been defeated, and the' men in Washington are now free to pursue their own schemes' .for the restoration of'.the Union. „Up to this, time; at least, they have bad-'nil the support' they could desire.’ On the Gth of last April, the Committee,on the Conduct of tho War .said in their rcportithnt.no' Administration hud ever been so goner,muly' sustained, and now they-have been "Victorious, nt the polls.

To gain tlie street, they had to pass through a little anteroom in the prison, which is occupied by its officers for the trans notii uof business.

This was noticed by one of the turnkeys, who, alter they bad just cleverly readied the street, exclaimed, •• ily , 1 believe that was To-. Wright in disguise.” Lieut.

The Peace op Execution. —Tho spot se lected for the site of execution -was the old Fair grounds. In. tho eontro of them the gallows was erected. At a few minutes before ten o’clock the procession reached here. Already tho Bth and 15th Connecticut regiments,. the 4th Bhodo Island regiment and Bogan’s Battery, were draw’ll up in a hollow square around the gallows. The procession passing inside of it, Dr. Wright’s carriage was halted before tho scaffold, which ho mounted without any apparent nervousness, assisted by Dr. Hod man and another clergvmn n. From the scaf fold Captain Sheppard now read the charges, finding nnd sentence of the court by which tho condemned was tried. The order for execution was also read. Tho Doctor listen ed to them calmly, and without evincing any emotion. Dr. Hodman now offered up n prayer, at the conclusion of which Dr. Wright advanced a few steps forward, and in a tremulous voice said, “Gentlemen, tho net which I committed was done without tho slightest malice.” His hands were now tied. Bend ing on his knees, ho prayed most fervently for a foxy minutes. The Execution.— Upon arising, tho cap was adjusted over his face, and tho execu tioner, Mr. John Armstrong, of Go.

Until the recent canvass in Maine, we do not rein ember to have seen the name of the Vice President mentioned,, except at the time he'left his seat as presiding officer of the Senate to greet Wendell Philips, the notori ous Abolition Dismdonist. The other night, however, lie made a speech in New York, in the course of which he said : “We have a class of .men among na in Maine who very much want the Constitution us'd is and the Union as if, was. "ifavc you got them here f (Voices, ‘ Yea.’) lam very sorry imlceil that they cannot ham it. It is .mere demayoydeism, mere clap trap; it is non is hot eery good nonsense. Why the Union as it was? If there are men in this goodly city of New York who have any tears to shed oyer such results, I inn inclined Jo (lie;opinion that, they are crocodile tears, if you have got those here who have tears to shod over the Union as,it it. was, T think that would form a very good sketch for a picture.” As Mr. Ilamlin is,sworn, to support “ the Constitution as ' it is,” those-old fashioned people who have scruples against perjury must he .highly pleased to. leafii “ U is non sense” to .expect that their rulers Will obey it. . • • '■ : Vnrylariil. ttfenitltiig Slaves — Monies'' of hietden'aid ■ White Inj a Slum Owner.
