FALL.
Summer, with its bright, warm days and
cloudless skies, has once more passed from
us, and joined in. the 1 swift current of the
past. The many hoars of pleasure that we
have Been permitted to enjoy during its brief
■visit, causes a pang of sadness to well up in
on? bosoms as we behold its last hours disap
pear from us. It has carried with it its cas
ket of perfumes, and gathered up its scat
tered jewels, and borne them off in triumph
to some far distant land. The evening
aephyr sighs o’er its departure, and breathes
in sweet, soft whispers a passing dirge.
But Fall follows, in its wake, and bids us
View the Beautiful in Nature, ere old Win
ter’s icy fingers have passed over the scene.
It tolls us, in glpwing language, of its thou
sand and one beauties —its gorgeous sun-sets,
tinging with purple and gold the leaves of
the forest, capping with its rich mellow light
the thousand hills, and bespangling with
diamonds a thousand streams. It pictures to
us.the beauties of an Autumn sky—how ..the
Oroat Master has penciled and mapped out
the dark blue dome of heaven, and how beau
tifully he has blended together the shades of
evening with.the hours of departing , day.—
It tells us to observe the falling leaf—how,
after it has fittingly fulfilled its mission, and
added beauty to the grove and forest, it
withers and decays, and finally falls again to
the parent earth. It tells of the lovely In
dian summer, when the field and forest are
dressed in robes of beauty, and nature itself
smiles upon the scene.
We have now earnestly entered into the
' company of Fall, with whom we must hold
converse during the few remaining days al
lowed us, ere wo are introduced tcPltern, old
winter, who, wrapped in his mantle of enow,
breathes with, icy breath a cold, cold wel
, come. What a-chillincss creeps over us while
We are in his presence, and how seemingly
cheerfulness are this old man’s looks when
seated on his throne. Already the nights are
growing leng, and the damp night air whis
pers to as that Fall is here, and bids us give
a look to our Wardrobes to see if they are in
order for use when the winter season arrives,
Soon will the bright sparkling fire prove tto-.
' ceptable, and the accustomed routine of eve
ning amusements break in upon ns, for tho’
"W 6 have only advanced a few days into the
/ -fall season," it, like the Summer,- will ebon
pais away forever. •
“ Th* Voics of Blood." —Such is the nov
el title of a very neat religeous work of 384
pages, which has just been issued from the
prpsa ’of Lindsay & Blaokston, of- Philadel
phia. ■ Our. townsman, the Xtev.SiJiiJßL Phil
lips, is the author,. From,tho cursory per
usal wo have given it we cannot speak of "Us
tnerits with tbejudgmenl we oould.desire, but
yet after glancing through all its pages, we
feel warranted in commending it as a very in
teresting and valuable work, pleasing in style
And lofty in religons sentiment. - Seeadver
tssmeat in another column.
TEAT ABOLITION FIZZLE.
It mtfjßpppear rattier late in us to - tntikb
reference to the wretched Abolition fizslo,
called by Bpme a “ mass meeting,?’ which
took place in this town on the 6th lust. 'lrVe
had' neither time nor room-last week to speak
of the affair, and henoe wo devote » small
spaos to it noyr.
It is not often we feel much sympathy for
the political bipeds called Abolitionists, but
really ho was a hard-hearted man Who did
pot pity the leaders’of this despicable faction
on the day oif their so-called “ mats meeting."
Tho Chairman of the Abolition'-County Com
mittee, assisted by his colleagues and all
the sboddyites, office-holders and expectants
in the county, had made desperate efforts to.
have a largo gathering. Greenbacks and ap
pealing circulars bad been distributed broad
cast, and every device, fair and foul,"resorted
to. Well, the lohg-lookod-for day at last ar
rived. It was a day favorable for the groat
occasion. -Flags and streamersoauld be soon'
dangling from shoddy’s doors and windows,
and the faithful awaited patiently, with eyes
and mouths wide open, in anxious expecta
tion. But, alas and alack I the muoh-tvished
for crowd did not appear, nor did tho “ dis
tinguished WnjTEa Davis, of Md.,
the man who, but a few weeks ago, denounced
Lincoln as a “ usurper, who had purposely
prolonged the war fur bis own political ag
grandisement.” ! About noon, however, some
two hundred men and about as many littlo
boys arrived in town in a very quiet way and
with dow-ncast looks. One feature of the
tie procession was a large wagon drawn by
thirty-four horses. The wagon contained
just four voters. Another wagon contained
logs of wood, and a white man was engaged
in splitting them. As he split the. logs he
threw the rails from the wagon. They were
rotten at Aeterf, - howqvo'i7 which whs quite ty
pioal of tho Abolition party. A couple of
negrbes on the street picked up tho rotten
rails and carried them off for luel. which
was all right and proper’; for it can no longer
bo denied that Lincoln is determined to com
pel white men to labor for the negro and
maintain him in idleness. The last feature,
but by no means the least, was a big buck
negro (labeled “ contraband,”) seated upon
a wagon ns driver. Behind him suthis Abo
lition master, smiling like a rose, and who,
every now and then, would pat “ cuffy” on
the back and whisper in his ear, thus very ,
illustrating the doctrine of negro-,
equality.
The procession over, a little meeting was
formed in the Court House square ; and who,
reader, do you suppose was announced as the
first speaker? None other than that low
blackguard, J. TV. Bear, (the Buckeye
blacksmith,) the same wretch who formerly
took Daguerreotype likenesses in this place,
and who was compelled to leave the town be
tween two days because of his atrempt to vi.
olato the person of a respectable young lady.
He is now stumping the country for Lincoln,
and is paid from the United States Treasury,
but it was a monstrous stretch of presump
tion for tho Republicans of this county to
bring Bear to this place—tire place of his
former villainies.
“Captain” Woodworth, was the next
speaker. Of course ho hails from Massachu
setts, a State loud-mouthed for war, but
which has no troops of her own in tho strife.
Woodworth is opposed to going to the front,
but prefers the stump, and, if he can be
judged by his'speech; ho is a fit companion
of tho notorious Bear. His jokes must have
been relished,by the few ladies who heard
them, they were so refined and oflieer-like.—
His calf story was particulary chaste and ele
gant, and was certainly appreciated by the
gentler sex present 1 - .
Woodworth's speech ended the meeting,
and the few who had assembled hung their
heads in shame cs they left the town. Such
was, in brief, the Abolition mass meeting—
the meanest affair that ever disgraced Car
lisle.
Sta?*The “soldier’s friends” had a peculi
ar way of showing their friendship in this
borough on the day of the election. , About
the middle of the afternoon thirty-four sol
diers stationed at our Garrison—each man
holding between his thumb and fore finger
the full Democratic ticket—approached the
East ward window to vote. They were at :
once confronted by Mr. Todd, who challenged
every man of them. The rabst trifling infor
mality as to residence, &o. was used in argu
ment against the soldiers by Mr. Todd, who
finally succeeded in having nearly all their
votes rejected. Only five, wo believe, of the
thirty-four soldiers who attempted to vote,
succeeded.
Now, we would be the Inst to give any man
a vote who is not entitled to it, but Republi
can spouters have been so persistent in their
demands for soldiers to vote, that bundieds of
these men,wore led to believe that they could
exercise this privilege without any qualifica
tion whatever, end they got this impression
from listening to just shell speeches ns Mr.
Todd is in the habit of delivering. More than
this, it is notorious that soldiers vbting the Ab
olition ticket are not objected to by the men
of that party. On the contrary their votes are
taken and counted without a question being
asked. At the recent election in Indiana two
regiments of Massachusetts and Vermont
troops (nearly «)1 of them Republicans) voted.
Of course this Was an outrage,and the elec
tion officers who received ttnße fraudulent
Totes peijured their souls, but yet by this
means the Abolitionists carried Indiana by
a small majority. Hod the thirty-four sol
diers who desired to vote here on Tuesday-
Vfcek beld Republican tickets in their bands,
neither Mr, Todd or any . other man of his
party would have challenged , their votes.—
.But they desired to vote the Democratic tick
et, and hence the Republican opposition to the
soldiers. •
\£y Six timers within a week, in various
parts of the country, has the American flag
been torn down by Abolition-shoddy desper
adoes and trampled upon because it was ele
vated by M’Clellan men, and M’Clellan sol
diers who fought finder him.- This is Shod
dy’s idea (St. freedom, and/shows the amount
of reverence entertained for the flag when
note ssaoiated- with the negro 1

As the news Cornea slowly in from the inte

ed by the Pennsylvania Democracy becomes
more apparent. In our neit he will publish
tho official vote of the State. We would,do
so tbie week, but for the fact that the Aboli
tion managers have conspired to keep back
the official returns ns mhcb as possible. We
can say, however, with' entire oertdinty, that
the Dorpocrats have carried the State by from
ONE TO TWO THOUSAND MAJORITY,
being a gain since last year of some EIQII
- Wff have elected twelve

Spffice it to say then for the present,-that

decisive, complete And crushing. - Even can
did Republicans no# admit, that this result
secures the State for M’OiELLAN' by 25,000
Or 30,000 majority). All. bail I The dark
plouds are fast disappearing. We now regard
the election of M’OLELLAN a sure thing—
a fixed fact. Heretofore wo felt desponding
at times, bat now all is bright and hopeful.

In Maryland the election was held to Vote
on the proposed now Constitution. This oon
stitudon was fixed op at dVashingtOn, un
der the eyo of £iK-coi,h, and Contains in
famous test oaths, and other villnnies. It was
a question between the Administration and
the people, of Maryland. The homo ■ vote
stood—for . tile new 'Constitution 11,24(J;
against it. 12,820. Majority against 1,574.
The soldiers' Vote, however,’in favor of tits
measure is 2,403, making a majority for the
new Constitution of 889. Thus the new Con
stitution is ttdopted;
Indiana has boon carried by Morto v, the
Abolition' Candidate- for Governor, by some
five or sdven thousand, being a Republican
loss of.Abont threo-'or four thousand. I’hb
Democrats Iniveia’majority in the-State Sen
ate, and .the lower. House is very close. The
Congressional- delegation same as last year.
Vouilees, the man Abolitionists fear, has tri
umphed over all- opposition. The ihost in fa-,
inous frauds were perpetrated by the miniotfs
of the ndminihistration- in all parts of the
State, and Domoqratic soldiers wore placed
under guard and-many of them punished for
attempting to vote the Democratic ticket.—
Ah, Abolition tyrants, a day of settlement
will soon come—mark itT Indiana in con
sidered safe for M’CLELLAN by a very large
majority.
A letter dated Columbus, 0., Oat. 14, says:
“ IVe haVe return's from thirty-nve counties,
in which The Democracy have gained 18,370
over tbd void; of.'fart year. The Abolition
hoind major! iy',frill hot bo over twenty thou
sand, Ohio is sure for McClellan, if we gain
in the same proportion in counties yet to hear
from."
Speaking of the election the Ohio Slaiei■
man says ': ,

tal are very much surprised at the increased
Democratic vote in this State. We have
made A .GAIN OF OVER TWENTY FIVE

DESPICABLE ‘CDNDIfCT.
The cars oonta'itiinjt Gby. SsTubTtß, (OJf.his ;
way from Harrisburgtb Oarjis}o,).on the Bth
inst., stopped a few minufea at Mechant'cav
burg. Immediately on stepping, some two
or three voices cried out “ Sevmour, Scv
lloun 1” The Governor took hie Layoff and,,
putting hie head out of n window, said “ I am
happy to see you, gontldmen." Then some
one said “give us a speech, He
replied, “ Oh, no, this is no place to make a
speech, besides Hum to speak in Carlisle, and
as my throat is already very sore, I.must not
aggravate it more than 1 can help,” Then
it was that the Abolition rowdies, who were
present Tor the purpose of insulting the Go
vernor, commenced 'their cowardly attack.—
One said-, “ you ought to have a sore throat,
God ddtnn you.” This was followed by a
loud Then , “ throe groans for the
copperhead wore proposed and
given ; then “ three groans for the New York
soldiers,” followed. Hissing, hooting and
’groaning wore kepi up until the oars again
got Under way. The Governor remained
calm ahd'iirfthdfed, and looked the thUcrablo
cowards straight in the eyes as they htirled
their insults at the grcnt Statecf New
It was the most cowardly bitirage we ever
I witnessed. The Democrats had left the ttiwn
; almost to o man to attend the mass meeting
in Carlisle, and this fhet being, known to the
Abolition btatksnuliea, ‘they 'determined to
take advantage of it by offering an insult to
Gov. SETUonk upd the great State over Which
he presides. HUd'the Democrats of Rlecha
nicsburg been at home, no insult would have,
been offered the Governor.
Wo were sorry to notice among the crowd
at Meohanicshurg a number of men who have
Heretofore been regarded as gentlemen,—
They too, took part in the outrage,-and by
doing.so. stamped, thomselvosaalawloasand
shameless men. No one worthy the name
of man or woman could countenance conduct
like this. It is evidence, however, of the de
bauched character of the woolly-head party,
and is but another argument in favor of oust
ing such characters from' power. They may
show their ugly teeth and roll up the dirty
whites, of their eyes and hies and groan in
the presence Of the greatest statesman of
America, but this will not avert the' doom
that awaits them. The storm will soo'n be
upon there'; thunder 'can be new 'distinctly
heard. The people of the feeystone hove

will speak again in a much louder voioe. in
condemnation'of the, rowdies who now dis
grace, the conning by their treasonable con

Democrats of Cumberland I you performed
a noble work on the 11th inet. Considering
the large number of Democrats who left the

we thank you for.tho heroic fight you made
against our country's enemies. Abolitii n

by our triumph assisted materially in redeem
