corn crops. The yield in this county is small.
0“Tho friends of the national sexton are
flooding this county with Abolition election
eering documents, gotten up for the purpose
of deceiving men into voting for Abraham
Lincoln. Don’t [allow any of this trash
to come into yonr bonne.

Legislature. Let every man read them and
see which of the two candidates now before
the Northern people is the most likely to re
ceive the respect of the Southern people who

ion. The South will not come back under
Lincoln, but will return if M’Clellan ie elec
ted. Fonder these facta.
A Prisoner. —Among the Union soldiers
captured by the rebels at the late battle of
Cedar Creek, wo regret to notice that our
townsman, Major Martin Kuhn, was of the
number. By the Richmond Enquirer, of Oc-
tober 24, we see that the Major was one of
1460 prisoners that arrived at Kichmond on
the day previous.
The Soldiers’ Tote. —The Return Judges
for this county met at the court-house in this

counting the soldiers votes cast at the Octo

We may mention that tiro companies com
posed almost exclusively of Democrats, and'
encamped this aide of Harper’s Ferry, did
not vote, for the reason that the Stats Com
missioners did : not furnish them Monks or
■ even call on them. This was not accidental
bat intentional neglect on the part of these
recant commissioners. Had these two com
panies voted, about ISO additional would
have been added to the Democratic army
vote, and given ns a handsome majority;
The Harrisburg Telegraph, published
by Linooln’s Postmaflteri and edited ,iy con
tractors, calls the soldiers who voted the De
mocratic ticket at the October election, “cow
ards and sneaks." Very semplimeatary, that.

THE GREAT DAY IS
AT HAND!
Dhociuts and Conbbrvativibl With this
issue of our paper w * ehall hare finished
our duty as an editor —but our labor has been
in vain and our hopes are also vein, if you
neglect the sacred duty you owe to your
country. Thera is no consideration which
can overbalance the privilege you possess, of
aiding to choose the offifes by whom you are
to be governed. Let nothing keep you from
the polls—the party expects every man to do
his duty, and you can only regret your eu
pmeneas whan it U TOO LATE It
VOTE EARLY,
And then turn your attention to others. All
men have some, degree of influence, and may
have far more than they are willing to be
lieve they have. No man can tell how much
ho can ’ d{i until he makee an effort. Try
your influtnee !
WATCH EVERY VOTE!
Oftentimes our opponents are honestly mis
taken in regard to the qualifications of voters,
and we frankly confess that such may he the
case with Democrats. Therefore, it is right
that our party should watch the other. Rest
assured that the Abolitionists will be vigilant
in this matter. Again we say, watch the
1 polls I,
DEMOCRATS SHOULD

ons to go after delinquents. There should bo
at least twelve men ready to go after those
that lag behind. Strict attention should be
paid to this important duty. Fellow Conser
vatives! give one day to your country, and
all will BE WELL!!
Heed Not Abolition
Lies and Calumnies.
The same party denounced JEFFERSON
as an Atheist, MADISON and MONROE as
Bribed Traitors, SIMON SNYDER as a Fel
on, and JACKSON as a Murderer. Why then
should a man, pure and virtuous ns General
M’CLELLAN, expect to escape? Just in
proportion as a man is faithful to his country,
will ho be abused and slandered by his Abo
lition foes.
THE GREAT BATTLE
Is approaching. The bugle has already been
sounded, and the notes of preparation are
heard in the distance. In your hands rests
the issue. On your firmness and patriotism
all now depends. You CAN overcome all
combination against you.
Keep Your Temper.
The-Abolitionists are besoming as ill-tem
pered and snappish as their gloomy prospects
can make them. Take it easy—keep your
courage up, if for nothing else than to im
part a glow of hops to your deluded followers.
WATCH THEM.
We would caution our .friends not to let
any apparent lull in politics put them oil
their guard. We can rely upon the certain
fact, that our opponents bare secret organi
zations. Emmissaries are riding the county,
under other ostensible business, but in fact to
influence voters wherever they can. No
doubt hundreds haye been called upon by
these petty slanderers. Let the people spurn
them.

Tho Way.M’Clellan Soldien ore TrcßUd.
. For iomo time the “permanent of
soldiers at the Carlisle Barracks hare been an
eyesore to the Black Republicans of Carlisle,
and vicinity. They vwa almost to. a ro®n
the warm friends of Little M*o, and insisted
on wearing the M’CLatLAN badge at all times
and on all occasions. Most of them .had
been with M’Ci.eli.an in hie numerous bat
tles, and they not'ctily respect him ns a mil
itary man, but they lore him as a child loves
its parent. This we.say, nHnoyod the Abo
litionists of our town, and they determined
either to compel the'soldiors to give up thoir
preference for President, or, if they refused,
to have them punished for their temerity.-*-
The soldiers were told of this determination,
and cautioned that if they did not .take off tho
M’CLSLiAN badge and husia for Lincolk.
they would certainly “be ordsrod to tho
front.” Those threats did not avail; the sol
diers continued to wonr M’Clblla* badges
and to ebcer for thoir old commander. IS ay,
more, on tho day of tho election ail entitled
to the right of suffrage voted tho Democratic
ticket. Thie was more than tho choddyitos
could bear, and at onoo tho employed, Lm-
tolh spies for this borough notified the potty
tyrants at Washington of the “ outrage”
these soldiers had committed on tho day of
the election, in daring to vote as they pleased.
In a day or two subsequent tho threatened
punishment, sure enough, was administered,
in the shape of an order from the Secretary of
War, -commanding the men com posing, the
;■ permanent party” at tho Carlisle Garrison
to report, without delay, at Washington,
from which point they aro to proceed to the
front. Accordingly, on Friday last the “ per
manent party,” including the members of the
band, and numbering in all some 120 men,
bid farewell to their wives and little ones and
numerous friends, and made hasty arrange
ments preparatory to taking leave of our gar
rison. About an hour .previous to tho arri
val of the down train of cars, the men were
formed into lino. Ail being ready to “ for-
ward, march,” a Sergeant stepped in front of
tli-e line and proposed that tho men “ leave
their sentiments behind tliC'in.” lie there
fore proposed “ three cheers for Maj. Rotal,
commandant at tho post.” Responded to
heartily.- “Three cheers fur Dr.'Waioni,
Surgeon at the poet,” was neat proposed—
Responded.to with equal unanimity. “Now,
boys,” added tho Sergeant, "six cheers for 1
General George B. M’Clellah—may ho be !
our next President.’’ Responded to with a
perfect yell, which lasted for several minutes,
and which was hoard miles distant. “One
more sentiment, and the last,” continued the
Sergeant. “ Throe groans for Chaplain Jonn
Ross.” The- groans were girsn in a tone
that was a good imitation of thunder, “ For
ward, quick, march 1” and away Started the
hoys for the cars. In they scrambled 5 tho
whistle sounded, and the train was soon un
der way. “ Farewell, buim for Little Mac,”
were the last words hsard from the lips of
the soldiers as tho train containing them
; thundered down the valley,. .“farewell,
God bless you,” was the response from tho
hundreds of Democrats and ladies present. —
“ May they all bo shot in the first battle they
are in,” was hissed through the thin lips of
a sneak blackonako, as he ehuckled over the
fact that tho “ copperhead soldiers” had been
ordered to tho front.
Thus the “ permanent party” at our gar
rison has been broken, up, and ordered to the
front because the politics-of the men compo
sing it did not suit the stay-at-home “ loyal”
pimps of the Abolition faction of Carlisle.—
What, disinterested “ soldiers’ friends” are
these! They are tho friends of the soldier
so long ns they can use him for their own
base purposes — so long- as he consents to vote
to keop thorn in office and enable them to
plunder. But let the soldier dare act the
part of- a freeman, and the sharks who sup
port the administration are ready to persecute
1 him even .unto death. , '
A Retraction.— Tho Carlisle American o
two weeks eiiioe contained a most dastardly
and libellous assault upon the gentlemen
Composing the'Board of Session ot the Asso
ciate Reformed Church of Newville, charging
them with having dismissed their pastor, the
Rev. Mr. Wallace, because he had dared to
pray in behalf of the country. Of course no
one believed this preposterous falsehood, but
yet the American vouched for its truth, and
made a great ado about it. A threatened
prosecution, however, brought the American
to its senses, and in the last issue of that pa
per we find the following:
“ In our last paper, in an article under the
eantion of “ Copperheadism Rampant" it ap
pears we did groat injustice to the Board of
Session of the Associate Reformed Church of
Newville. In announcing the resignation of
Rev. Mr. Wallace, Pastor of that Church,
we attributed it to a political pressure on the
part of the Church Session. We now learn
Irom undoubted authority that this assertion
was entirely erroneous, and had no founda
tion in fact. The resignation of tho Pastor
was induced solely by private reasons, and
had nothing to do.either with public or poli
tical affairs. Our article was hastily written,
and was based entirely upon rumor. ' As it
was .calculated to do injury, and create ill
feeling, we are heartily sorry for its publica
tion, and baston to make the amende honora
ble by this public' retraction. "
“ When we, through orroneonoinformation,
make any statement which is not meet, and
which is calculated to do.injury either to in
dividuals or public bodies, we always make
the retraction with pleasure. Papers at a
distance which gave publicity to our state
ment, will confer a favor by copying this ar
ticle. “ GEORGK /INN.”
■ Thatis certainly a very ample amende ho
norable, and we are glad it has been made,
for posaibly it may save troubled But, ttie
American should bo more careful; its false
hoods of late are so notorious and glaring,
that tbsfd'eeent portion of its own partisans
teol ashamed of it. Just before the election
both the American and the Herald, \n their
eagerness, to injure the Democratic candidate
for Sheriff, informed their readers that" John
Jacobs had said that when *he went to war
he would go to the South and shoot North.”
This was a manufactured falsehood, Mr. Ja
cobs never having ueed' thia language or any
thing like it. Those who gave it publicity
knfto it to be false, and the'peopleat the poll*
stamped'it false. /We now, in'behalf of Mr.
Jacobs, call upon both the American'and
Herald to retract that falsehood. Wo give
them this advice in all kindness end for their
own sakes, and if they fail to heed, it, our
word for it, they will regret it. “ A word to
i*he wise,” *•,

1 SPEECH'PROM "SHCAVfR" HAMLIN.
Wo havealWiys heard Hannibal Hamlin
spoken .of an an exceedingly ,common, man ;
Vat yet wa-oonfesi we never supposed ho
Teas quit* ai'dibased “ common report made
him. But, we wore mistaken, and mnstnow

-Tbia man,-—the Vies President of tho Uni
ted States—made a speech liofoto the loyal
stay-at-home .patriots of Carlisle on Thursday
evening.. No.it was not a speech, hut a
miserably scurrilous, infamous and senseless
assault upon a majority of tbo psoplo of this
county and State. Tho advice bo tendered
to his political adherents was revolutionary
and unlawful, and, had ,it been heeded and
acted upon, might have led to riots and blood
shed. 110 said, among other things, that tho
only fault he found with Mr. Lincoln was
that he was too easy, too lenient, toward his
political opponents! Had he the
power, ho " would suppress every press that
did not support the 'Government.” [By the
the Government ho meant Lincoln.] ** Ho
would not” Ke said, “ adviss the arrest of the
privatet in the copperhead ranks, but he would
arrest and possibly bang the leaders—tho
judges on thshennh, the ox-army officers, and
others who arelooked up to." “ Arrostthose
leaders and make them squawk," he added,
and the rank,and file of the copperhead ar
my will soon become quiet and inoffensive.”
In speaking'oi' the Chicago Convention ha
stigmatized it a 11 conclave of traitors, who
were permitted by Mr. Lincoln,' to concoct
treason in broad daylight," &o.
' And so he continuedto rant nnd denounce.
His speech was as devilish as it was immoral
and dangerous in sentiment. Suppose his
cowardly a (ivied had been taken; suppose
those who cheered his vilo language had
rushed from the court room and attempted the
arrest of any one of oor citizens, what.would
have followed f A riot and disturbance of the
ponce. And before it could have been quell
ed, perhaps Mr. Hamlin himself would have
been made lb " squawk." Tho fact, is this
man Haßlin and those who yympatize with
him in sentiment, are doingmoro for tho reb
el causa than tha tohcls themflelvos. They
appear bent upon mischief and anorehy hero
in the North; hut, let them beware, for tho
bitter dip that they prepare for others may
be pressed to their own black traitor lips.
What a spectacle 1 The Vice President of
the Dnited States standing in tho court-house
in the quiet town of Carlisle, recommending
mob law and the arrest of the prominen t men

inflicted upon therapelvos on indellible stig

Hamlin. God grant that they may never
again commit a similar error.
the Coemption fcsd.
For the first time in the history of our gov
ernment all men holding office under the ad
miniatration are assessed (according to their
salary,) a certain amount to a mammoth cor
ruption fund, Which is being expended in aid
of the election of the great incompetent,
Abraham Lincoln. Thus, Mr. Lincoln
compels his tens of thousands of office-hold
ers, shdddyites, public, plunderers and de.-
pendents to contribute to a fund which is to
be need to corrupt the people and continue
himself in power 1 There never was a'dee-,
pot on the face of the earth who dared to re
sort to a more flagrant piece of scoundrelism
I than this. .
Below wo 'publish, word for word, a letter
recoiled by a poor country Postmaster of tbia
county, whose annual pay amounts to some
forty op fifty dollars I It is estimated that
the sum collected from ofScodioldere and
ehoddyifcs, by this assessment amounted to
some ten mitlione of, dollars, and this itmnonse
sum of money has been and is still being used
to buy up the venal and corrupt to vote for
Lincoln; :i Just think of it—a man receiving
but forty or filty dollars of an annual salary
is assessed, fey order of the administration,
three dollars in aid of this reeking corruption
fund 1 In the name of all that ie honorable
and pure, will moral, decent, upright men
continue to vote for and sustain' an adminis
tration that is attempting to hoy up’ the peo
ple with money that has been contributed by
its own office-holders and dependents! We
trow not. We still believe that a largo ma-
jority of the people are honest, and that they
will, at the ballot-box, teach Mr. Lincoln
and hie army of office holders, that there is
still virtue enough in the country to resist
this infamous and villionous attempt to cor
rupt them with money.
But to the letter to which we’desire to call
attention. - We repeat, it was received by a
country postmaster in tbia county, whose an
nual salary is some forty or fifty dollars:
