WEDNESDAY, SEPTEAIDER 17, 1362 FOR AUDITOR GENERAL: ISAAC SLENDER. UNION COUNTY FOR SURVEYOR GENERAL : JAMES P BARR. ALLEGHENY COUNTY ler The Republicans of Bradford county arc rebelling against the dic tation of Wilmot Co. A large and enthusiastic mass meeting was held in Towanda, last week, when he and his principles (the same as were en. dossed by the late People's Party State Convention,) were repudiated, and candidates for Congress and the Legislature were placed on the track in opposition to Wilmot and his clique. When Bradford becomes sick of Republicanism light must surely be breaking upon the people. If the people want to read something really good in regard to free speech we refer them to the re marks of Mr. Senot, in the recent Massachusetta Treason Trial, publish ed on the first page of the Advertiser.. Tie was one of the lawyers who went down'into Virginia to defend John Brown, several years ago. We do not know Mr. Senot's politics but he talk, ,Democratic, and probably will have to vote Democratic if be wishes to carry out his views. The rebel army threatening 041 . 61111 W last week has fallen back beyond Florence, in Kentucky. Gov ernor Tod has ordered home the mi litia sent there for the defence of the harder; their service being no longer ieiinired. : The force of regular troops insufficient for any emergency. szy-' Our forces were defeated at Fayette, Va., on last Wednesday, and were obliged to retreat to Oauley bridge,,, where the enemy again at tacked and defeated them. Our for ces, after destroying all the C-levern- Mont property in the place, then moved down the Kanawha in two columns until the 12th inst., wheel they halted. Our troops then re treated and made'a stand at Elk riv er, where another fight took .place— result not stated. The draft in Pennsylvania has been postponed to the 25th inst. THE COMING Eur,crtoN.—The Wayne county fferald says, that no more fa. vorable opportunity than the present will ever occur, for rescuing this gov ernment from the hands of men who used to say that the triumph of their theories would lead to disaster. The failure of their predictions and prom ises, their continued misapprehen sloPs) of the crisis, their readiness to disregard the Constitution and their variously attempted schemes for de stroying the freedom of speech and the press have all demonstrated them to be unfit for guidance through the fiery ordeal we are now undergoing. The people are awake to the danger, and are resolved to meet it. We have tried the radicals, agitators and abo litionists long enough. They haVe succeeded, by their foolish and im practicable schemes and legislation,- only in uniting the South as one man against us, and of driving the North into parties, which, Unless more mod erate counsels prevail, promise soon to become as deadly hostile to each other as the South can wish. The President who regards his oath, the general who is opposed to negro insurrection, and the citizen that dares talk of constitutional obligations and privileges, have already become "spotted" to this progressive school, and where the end will be, unless the people arise in their majesty and as sert their independence, we fear to conjecture. The , ballot-hos: is now our only remedy. Let every patriot consider attention to polities his sacred duty. The coming elections are extreme. Jy important, as the complexion of the lawmaking power may be en. tirely changed thereby.. Besides the State ticket, which we have had at the head of our -columns for, several weeks, we have a member of Congress and of the State Legisla ture to elect, as well as several minor tho Ugh important county officers.— The. fact that The term of office of that rampant partizan David Wilmot, will expire on the 11th of March next, at which time it will devolve upon our Legislature to chooSe his successor, renders it especially desirable that the Democracy should receive a ma jority in that body this fall. With a democratic Senator to succeed-Wil mot, and a moderate Republican like Cowan as his colleague, the Keystone State will not be likely to disgrace herself in the higher branch of our national legislature for years to come, as she has during the past.term. Let every man who loves his country bend his energies to this purpose. G I EATIFICATE OF AN "EXEMPT."-Dr. G. 11 Burrell, of North nycle PlPrk, Vermont, gives the following certifi cate to ono G.C. Lowther: • "August the 19, 1862. • "this may Surtify that I george Burroll of North Hide park as a Pi. sian do surtify that gardner C. Loth er is not Liable to do Military duty having ,a pain in the Left Side and the Liver Bing a feeted and a Kidney effeSted. and one hand effected. G. If BURRELL,. HOW SHALL I VOTE AT THE ENSUING ELECTION. This is a question which must come home to every man in the loyal States. It is one of serious importance to all of us. _lle who contemplates the sub ject maturely will be forced to ask himself : "low had I best vote ? Was the Union in better hands while cotrolled by the Democracy, than it is at, present ? Was the old Union the best that, could be had, or will a new one be better Are those in power now more economical than the Democracy? Is the country in as prosperous condition "! Under which Administration was I most prosper ous ? Which party can make the country most happy, prosperous, and united as one people ? Shall I vote with this party which favors Aboli tion and the freeing of all the negroes, and the changing of the Constitution, or the other party which favors the old Union, the Constitution, and the restoration of things as they were ?-- Am I for the re-election of Republi can rulers, or the election of new ones, such as my father lived under and supported. We have no fear of the result, if every man thinks and is allowed to vote his true.sentithents. Every one is to be hisown judge in this matter, and should vote that ticket, which ho may think will conduce most toward his country's sufferings and prosperity. ADVICE TO' THE PRESIDENT. Hitherto we have not volunteered any advice to President Lincoln, but the time seems appropriate now to do so. You wish, Mr. President, to save the Union, and to save it in the short est way, if we correctly understand your letter to Horace . Greeley, It was manly and patriotic in you to say so; but as you indicated no partic ular plan or policy on which you in tended to act, in order to accomplish that very desirable object, permit us to sug g est a course which, we think, might hesuccessful. For a season of three months, no matter upon what pretexts they appear, close the doors of the White House, and of the pub lic buildings, for all other purposes than legitimate business, against ev ery politician, no matter what fac tion or party he, may belong to. Re peal the obnoxious orders of the War Department against the liberty of speech and the press, so far as they effect the people of ,the loyal States, where the administration of local laws is in full force. Give the War De partment a military head, that will attend intelligently, strictly and im partially to its duties, without enter taining ambitious views or entering into political intrigues. Appoint a commander-in-chief in whom both yourself and the army have confi dence, and subordinate commanders approved by him ; and then, whate,v• er plans of campaign may be agreed upon, bend all the energies of Gov ernment to carry out, regardless of what Senators, Representatives, poli ticians, contractors, or any others presumed to be ignorant of military matters, may say. Pat your shoul. der to the wheel in earnest—look neither to the right nor the left—bu ry the negro a thousand - fathoms deep—let Black Republicanism and Abolitionism, that are blind to every thing but the single question of slave emancipation, go to toph et—work on ly, singly and always for the Union, and you will succeed in restoring it; the present generation will honor you, and posterity will bless your memory, forever.—Patriot and Union. [From the Limbo Tiles of August 30th.] The Democratic party of the Uni ted States occupy at this moment a position as strange and as exceptional as ever fell to the lot of any political combination in any country. It is but bare justice to the party which experienced at the last election fur PreSident a signal and crushing defeat to record that they have ever been the friends and preservers of the great American Union. People will differ as to the price which they paid for that great object: Still, the policy had the merit of success ; the price was heavy, but the American Republic received for it the consideration it required. The Un. ion went on increasing in magnitude and population, and the idols of the American mind,--power, number, space,—remained at least unbroken. During the Presidential election of ISW the Democrats were loud in their assertion that the issue really at stake was, not the election of Mr. Lincoln, but the dissolution or preservation of the Union. The Republicans laughed their predictions to scorn. The South would never dare to move, and, if it did move, it had not the slightest hope of success. The taking of Fort Sumpter dispelled this allusion. The Republican party, whose policy was directly challenged by armed violence, and the Democratic party, whose prophecies were only too speedily ac complished,—more speedily, indeed, than they themselves either believed or wished—flew to arms, with results with which we are all well acquaint ed. It is only justice to the Demo• crats to say that, rising superior to narrow party feeling ; they have free. shed their blood in defence of a policy which they regard with the bitterest execration. The reproach is so often made that we presume it must have seine foundation, that the Republicans have been slower to take the sword on this occasion than the Democrats. The Abolitionists are pro verbially no fighters, and prefer to win their victories, like Macaulcy's Appius, within the city towers. Thus the Democrats are placed in a most singular position, They arc fighting for a cause to which they profess, and doubtless feel, the most boundless de votion ; but they are fighting on be half of a policy which they detest, and in support of a party which they hate with all the bitterness of a de fcated faction. General McDowell has addressed a letter to the President requesting himgto institute a Court of Inquiry for the pur pose of investigating the truth or falsity of the charge preferred by Colonel . BrOd, head, whil in a dying condition that "he was dying a victim to McDowell's treachery." He requests that the inqui ry be made without limitation. fly We give below the war news of the Nv I: from clay to day. The many false reports that agitated the people during the week are omitted, ar;d hence the movements of the reb els as recorded in our accounts are re liable as far as received. WAR NEWS. [From the TMMaier° American, Sept. 104 The intelligence we give this morn ing indicates that our surmises on Monday, that a division of the rebel army had taken a western route to ward Hagerstown, were correct.— We have as yet no tidings that Ha gerstown is occupied, but the great body of the loyal citizens have fled toward Chambersburg. When the enemy moves from Fred erick toward Hagerstown, it is virtu ally turning his back on Baltimore and Washington, and moving to a point where he can reach the Poto mac river at Williainsport by a march of but seven miles. While his infantry has partly mov ed West, his cavalry is scouring to wards the.border of York county, Pa., and it may well be imagined that de struction and devastation will mark the line of his progress. FROM FREDERICK The latest intelligence from Fred erick City and the region occupied by the rebels, is brought, by Gen. Colum• bus O'Donnell, who reached Balti more yeSterday afternoon, from his country seat near Weavorton, not far from Harper's Ferry. He had been up there for some - days prior to the rebels crossing the river, and sudden ly foimd himself within the enemy's lines. Having important businesS to attend to in faltimore, ho saddled up a pair of ploW horses; being the only team left on his place, and started off for Frederick City. On arriving within a few miles of Frederick he was stopped by the rob• pickets and obtained permission to pass on to the quarters of the Provost Marshal, Bradley T. Johnson, with whom he had at one time some ac quaintance. On reaching tho city ho was conducted to the Marshal's office, and was warmly greeted by 3Ohnson, who assured him that it was out of his power to grant him a pass to . Ba ltimore, as no one but Gen. Lee had that power, to whom he referred him, giving him a pass to the General's headquarter's, four ,miles from Fred erick, on the Georgetown road. This occurred on Monday after noon, and Gen. O'Donnell immediate ly started out to the rebel camp, w here he found Gen. Lee's headquarters on one sido of the road and Gen. Jack son's on the other side. There was quite a large force of infantry with out tents, and most•of the men with out knapsacks, and presenting a most deplorable appearance, so far as dress was concerned, though they were well armed, and seemed to be in good spirits. On reaching the camp, Gen. O'Don nell approached the tent of Gen. Lee, when he was met by Charles Mar shall, formerly a lawyer of Balti• more, with whom he was also per sonally acquainted.-' acting as an aid of Gen. Lee, and on Gen. O'Donnell making known to .Mini that his business was to secure a pass to Baltimore, he told him that Gen. Leo was very busy, and could not be seen, but that he would make known his request to him. Marshal entered the tent and soon returned with the pass required, .and informed Gen. 0:Donnell, that Gen. 'Lee re• quested him to say that it afforded him.great pleasnro to grant his re quest. The pass was granted to Gen. O'- Donnell without any restrictions, nor was he required to give any pledges not to disclose anything that he had seen within the lines. Wc have not had the ,plcasure of seeing Gem O'Donnell, but learn that it is his opinion from what lie saw that the enemy had no intention of advancing either on BaltiMore or Washington. The impression on his mind was that they were preparing to retire before McClellan's army, and would soon recross the river at some of the upper fords. Scouting parties were out scouring the country for horses and cattle, and would proba bly enter the border counties ofPenn sylvania for this purpose, if sufficient time was given them to accomplish their purpose. The presence of both Gens. Lee and Jackson near Frederick would either indicate that the expedition is a most hazardous one, or that the mass of the army has really accom panied them, arid that the invasion •is a reality, and not a foraging raid.— Even if it is merely a raid for subsist ence stores, its success is undoubtedly most important to the rebels, and the presence of those-two prominent Gen crals may be accounted for on that ground. HAnmsnuna, Sept. 11, midnight A reliable man, just returned from Frederick, says that he was there yes terday, and that the rebels broke up their encampment at hal f past 1 o'clock in the morning ; and marched in the direction of liagerstoWn, Stonewall Jackson in the advance. Ile saw them marching from their numerous encampments from 5 A. M. till 9 P. U., the time he loft Frederick. They were principally infantry and artil lery, the latter numbering over 300 pieces, Cons. Robert E. Lee, Jackson, Cobb and other generals, .were present.-- lie he supposed, 5,000 caval ry near New Market, which had not left their camp. He saw many piec es of cannon, marked "U. 5.," and many horses, mules, and wagons, marked in the same manner. The opinion prevailed among the soldiers that they were going into Pennsylva nia. Since the foregoing was received, reliable information has been obtain ed that Stonewall Jackson, with his advance, is now in „Hagerstown pre paring to move with the whole army upon Pennsylvania. Gon. Reynolds, of the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, is expected to arrive here to-night: to assume active cam mand of all he forces raised for the defence of tl valley and Harrisburg. [SE OND msrxrcuLl Tim rebel, 20,000 strong, yester day mornin at 20 minutes past 9 o'clock,- too possession of Hagers town, Md.

Hagerstown has a pop ulation of a littt 5,000, and is a flour. ishing town. WAsniNoT.N, Sept. 11.—The latest accounts fro the army of Gen. Mc- Clellan, leas , - the inference that he is investing lie enemy at Frederick, having comp tely cut off his retreat to the Poton, c. Nothing is known, however, offi. ially. The aeeou is received to-day of the advance of a urge force on Hagers town have lc many to believe that has Coen eva uated, and that the reb els will yet scape Gen.

Burnside holds the right of /Gen. .11teClellan's advance, and no enemy has heretofore been re. ported in that direction'. BALTIMORE,' Sept. 12.—At 71 o'clock last evening the rebels made a cavalry raid into Westminster. They numbered about five hindred, with two pieces of ar tillery. Many of the horses of the rebels were marked and Colonel Rosser rode a splendid charger, which he said had belonged to General Pope. They had a picket gdard out during the night, about three miles this side of Westminster, but called it in at 10 . o'clock this morning, and took up the line of march at 11 o'clock. They said that there would be more there`to come by the same route, but up to the hour that our informant left none arrived. They destroyed a small railroad bridge about three miles west of Westminster, at Orendorff's mills, bid afterwards ex pressed their regret at having committed this act, Col. Rosser declaring it to have been unnecessary.. yesterday morning their pickets brought in eleven deserters from the 114th Pennsylvania: Regiment,' who gave us their reason for deserting .that they had not received their bounty money. They obtained a number of recruits at Westminster,; refusing all except those who came fully armed and equipped. They wore all kinds of dress, but our in formant says they wefe comfortably clad, and not in bad conclition,.either men or T3ALTDIORE, Sept.. 12.—We learn from a gentleman who left Westminster at noon yesterday ,that _he rebels abandoned that place at 11 o'clock yesterday morning, marching towards Uniontown, which is in the directiqn of Hagerstown. They came frOm New Market, on the Baltimore and Frederick} road, coming across the country, and not by the road through Frederick. The route by which they left passes throug,lipniontown, and thence by way of Cavetcwn to Hagerstown. They number about 350, being one portion of Stuart's Cavalry, with 12-pound field pie. ces, under command of Col. Rosser. They dashed into the town about 9 o'clock at niglt, stationed their cannon on a hill, and immediately threw out pick ets. They told4he citizens who had not fled that they hal nothing to fear, as they came as friends,:and would not interfere with any one OA in the Federal service. The Secession ,sympathizers in the town kept aloft from them as much as possible. H A inu§BunG, Pa,, September 12 One of our scouts was in the rebel camp at Hagerstown for a whole day, and con. versed freely With officers and men. They all concur as to their destination— namely, the Cumberland Valley. Reliable information from other sources indicates, however, a retreat across the PotoMac. It is known that Jackson en tered Williamsport yesterday, at 11 o'clock A. M., and immediately crossed with 15, 000 men and 70 pieces of artillery. No rebels haveyet crossed the line, and the soil of Pennsylvania is yet unpolluted by the tramp of traitors. • , The movement of Jackson is believed by some to be against Generals White and Miles. There was at Union bridge a train of the Western Maryland Railroad, consis ting of a locomotive and , two cars, which should have arrived at Westminster at five o'clock this morning, and in this city at eight o'clock. This train has probably been captured. The Federals occupied New Market, on the Baltimore and-Ohio Railroad, ten miles from Frederick yester day. Frederick Occupied by Federal Troops. FREDERICK, Md., Sept. 1.3. Frederick is ours. The first of our forces entered the cast end of the town at 4 o'clock yesterday after noon. Half an hour later a cavalry force, under command of Gen. Pleas anton, entered the city by way of the 'Market Street Turnpike. The main body of the rebel forces evacu ated the city on Thursday. A few cavalry from the command of General Stewart, and the Hamp ton Legion, made a charge upon our troops when the latter entered, but the enemy were spedily repulsed.— Our loss was two killed and six wound ed, while the rebels suffered at least to that extent. The rebel forces are represented to be about 125,000 strong. The citizens of Frederick have suf fered much from the rebel incursion, including the loss of domestic sup plies. The-enemy were in a starving and ragged condition, many of them being without shoes. They confidently ex pected that at least 50,000 men would flock to, them in.Fre . derick county.-- SE= Jackson was here, together with Longstrcet and Hill. They left Fred erick with the intention, as reported, of going to Pennsylvania, but &disc gent events seem to indicate that they will endeavor to retreat into Virginia by way of Williamsport. This morning an engagement is go ing on at the foot of the mountain, on the road to Sandy Hook, between the rebels, consisting of 2000 cavalry and three batteries. A portion of the enemy went to Ha gerstown, while Jackson took the left hand road towards Harper's Ferry. The rebels left four hundred and fifty of their sick in Frederick. About forty prisoners were taken last night and this morning between this city and the mountains, LATEST By special messenger to the Associated Press' from Frederick, Saturday afternoon. . WesunszoroN, Sept. 14. On our way hither this morning from Urbana, after crossing the Mb nocacy, McClellan and staff passed through Stunner's corps, who opened their ranks for that purpose. The enthusiasm with which he was receiv ed by these veteran troops is beyond description. Our troops held Frederick during the night and Sunday morning. There is no probability that our troops will remain inactive. There is now no fear of an invasion of Pennsylvania: A man who left Harper's Ferry yesterday afternoon reports that Longstreet was repulsed there in the forenoon. At this writing, (8 o'clock, A. M. ' ) the battle has been renewed in the direction of lia.rper's Ferry. The firing is rapid and heavy. Our main column, it is thought, will come up with the enemy this afternoon, when a battle • it seems, must take place. The forces engaged by our troops yesterday *ere those covering the rebel retreat. The men are in fine spirits, and are zmxious to be led forward to rid the Marylanders, who have treated them so well, of all invaders. • BALTIMORE, Sept. H. There has been cannonading at Jaarper's Ferry all day. It ceased at four o'clock this afternoon. Have not heard the result. Burnside passed through Frederick early on Saturday morning, and his whols army pushed on after the ene my, by every road. The rebels did not destroy any of the tu - enpihe bridges over the..Monoc aey, but left nothing but piers stand. ing of the splendid iron railroad bridge. A rebel train of one hundred am. munition and subsistence wagons was captured by Franklin, and about one hundred and fifty prisoners had been sent into Frederick. It is reported that McClellan's ad. vanec bad attacked Gen. Lee's rear, and captured his whole army train, together with a number of cannon. General Sigel has disputed success- ively the attempt of the rebels to cross the rivers. The cars of the Bal. timore and Ohio Railroad run to Mo. nocacy. D'Alai mown; --&tp 14,;:10 The advices froin Frederick, which arc up to 4 o'clock this afternoon, are of a Character to dispel all anxiety. There have been numerous heavy skirmishes with the rebels, in all of which the Union troops have gained decided advantages; repulsing the en emy with heavy loss in killed and wounded. The entire - Union loss will not.exceed thirty. Our report is, that we have taken twenty-five . hundred prisoners, in cluding a large portion of Stewart's cavalry, who were surrounded on the field. Our troops this afternoon oc cupied Middletown ; eight miles west of Frederick, on the Hagerstown turnpike, and are closely pressing the rear of the rebels and greatly an noying them. The rebels were compelled to burn over half a mile of their wagon train to keep it from falling into our pos• session. ts„.There has been no regular bat tle yet, but everything !milts decided. ly favorable. WASHINGTON, Sept: 14.—Returned prisoners, who have been recently exchanged, arrived at this city yes terday, and report that a column of :arty thousand rebels, under com mand of Beauregard and Buckner, left Richmond on Tuesch,y last, en route for the Potomac, to reinforce Lee. It was intimated that the latter had sent for them. HARRISBURG, Sept. 14.—The city has been fall, to-day, of all sorts of. exciting rumors from Chambersburg, and other points near the State line, and all accounts concur in represent ing the Echols in force at Hagers town and vicinity. There is, howev er, no authentic information relative to their advance into Pennsylvania, and the impression is becoming gen eral, in military circles, that pressed, as they arc by the forces of General McClellan, a movement across the Potomac is now their main object. The large number of volunteers ar rivinghere, have enabled the Gover nor to adopt every precaution for the defence of Chambersburg, and other points on the border should the reb els attempt to come into Pennsylva• nia. The force at Chambersburg is now not less than about 15,000, and other troops aro. being sent forward as they arrive it is said that not less than 6000 men went up the val ley to day. Advises from Chambersburg today report continued heavy firing towards Harper' s Ferry rind Williamsport. 13ArirtmonE, Sept. 14.—There is much excitement here to-day, grow ing out of various and well-founded rumors of heavy cannonading having been heard, during to-day, by various persons who were in a position to hear, along the Potomac and in the direction of Harper's Ferry. General McClellan went into Fred. erick city personally at 11 o'clock on Saturday. His entire army had gone before. Lim with immense trains.— Some divisions immediately' pushed forward after the enemy. THE VERY LATEST. The enemy, retiring from Freder ick towards Hagerstown, made a stand on tho mountain near Middle.' town, Md. They were attacked on Sunday by the corps of Generals Hooker and _Reno, and after a long and desperate engagement, were driv en from the entire crest which they had occupied. Major General Franklin, also en gaged the enemy on the extreme left, which resulted in getting possession of the Gap, after a severe engage ment in all parts of the line., Gener al McClellan says that all our troops, old and new, behaved well, and that the loss is not heavy. The rebel General Lee was wound ed, and Gen. Garfield killed. Gen. Reno, of our army, was also killed. Gen. Lee gives his loss at 15,000, and acknowledges himself whipped. It is also reported that Stonewall Jackson has been whipped in three battles. It is feared that Gen. Miles at Har per's Ferry will be obliged to surren. der, as the rebels were planting guns on the Maryland Heights, which com mand Bollior lee;ights, on the Vir ginia side, where Miles is posted. The rebel force in Alaryland is es timated at 120,000. The Distance.—As we hear frequent inquiries relative to the distance of the rebels from our State, we give the follow ing from one of our exchanges : Frederick City, where a portion Of the rebel invading army is now, is sixteen miles north o the Potomac, twenty-five miles south of the Pennsylvania line, and thirty five miles from Gettysburg. Ha gerstown, is twenty three miles in a north westerly direction from Frederick, and twenty one miles, we believe, from Cliam bersburg—so that a forced march of one day might bring the rebel divisions with in gunshot of two of our principal border towns. Defeat of the Rebels at Williams burg, Va. FORTRESS MONROE, Sept. 11. A rebel force of cavalry, with three pieces of artillery, under Col. Shingles, made an attack on Williamsburg on Tuesday morning about 8 o'clock. Af ter having captured our pickets they marched into the town, taking our troops by surprise. An engagement ensued, which lasted about thirty minutes. Our force consisted of the sth Pennsyl vania cavalry, Col. Cambell, who was taken prisoner, together with five captains, four lieutenants, and a few privates. The rebel commander, Col. Shingler, with,eight of his officers and nine men, were killed. The loss of the rebels was more severe than ours, and we remained in posses sion of the place. We took a number ofpriSoners. . The _lndian War in illinnesota---Dis patches from St. Paul, Minn., of Saturday last, state that Indian hostilities still con tinue. A few days since Captains Grant and Anderson, with a small party of in fantry and cavalry, were attacked by 250 savages, eighteen miles from fort Ridgly. During the engagement the whites man aged to throw up breast•works of dead horses and earth, and held out until Col. Sibley came to their relief: Thirteen whites were killed and 47 wounded in this engagememt. Before the engage ment-commenced Captain Grant's party succeeded in burying 85 massacred whites, In Litigation.—The celebrated Con. gress Springs at Saratoga is in litigation. The value of the property is alleged in complaint at $400,000. A Mrs. Shehan, survivor of the heirs of one of the owners, asserts that the papers by which she con veyed her share in the springs property were obtained from her by misrepresen tation and fraud. The annual yield of the springs is from $40,000 to $60,000. The cause of our Disasters.—lt is more and more beComing the opiniom of all military men that if the plans ofGen. McClellan badnot been interfered with, the rebellion would long before now have been hopelessly crushed. As it is, we are incalculably worse off than when the crazy clamor against him began to take body and gather strength. What a terri ble responsibility rests upon the purblind radical crew who dared to trifle with the nation. • . The Maine Election.— The Maine election was held last Monday, Sept. 9th, Last year the Republican majority was 16,875, and this year will be 8,000. The despatch says that 91 towns have been heard from, and-- the Republican loss is 3,962, and the majority in the State will be largely reduced. A Democratic Con gressman is probably elected ! This is a gain ! and the despatch says "from ap pearanecs it is supposed the Republicans have elected four." No certainty ! trrlt is understood, we believe, that those called out by the late orders of the President and Governor, including all able bodied men, does not exempt those who respond, from the contingencies of the previous draft—that is to say, an able bodied man subject to draft, called out by the proclamations of the 10th or 11th in stant, who may be drafted, will have to serve nine months, if necessary, instead of the shorter period his services may be required under the late calls. Four men were killed on Saturday last near Mankato, Minn., by the Indians. The victims were thrashing wheat, and within a mile of a company oftroops. Birant NV.
