UNION COUNTY
FOR SURVEYOR GENERAL :

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

having ,a pain in the Left Side and

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.

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

encampments from 5 A. M. till 9 P.

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.

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

They dashed into the town about 9

on a hill, and immediately threw out pick

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.

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.--

Jackson was here, together with
Longstrcet and Hill. They left Fred

On our way hither this morning
from Urbana, after crossing the Mb

through Stunner's corps, who opened
their ranks for that purpose. The
enthusiasm with which he was receiv

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

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

The rebel force in Alaryland is es

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.
