i; • "Do not misunderstand me on this sub

National .Aditinistration, and object to the manner in
which it conducts public affairs, but not to decry the
government under which we live, or express hopes or
wishes for dissolution of the Union, the destruction or
defeat of our armies, the success of the rebels or of the
.rebellion. * * * The .A.eministration
he may entirely condemn ; the' Government he is
bound to support. Parties will always exist in every
free country, and whether men will sustain or oppose
particular administration. is one in which there
'should ever be the most perfect freedom of opinion, but
no Man or set of men has any right, natural or politi
cal, to overturn the government itself, Ile is bound
to support and sustain it. let who will administer its
.-affairs, uffil the ruler can be changed under the pro
visions of the Constitution. 'hone certainly can he no
difficulty with persons of 'ordinary intelligence draw

What' they Promlsed.
The Abolitionists promised the

MORE DRAFTS."
"THOSE WHO VOTE THE

Let them now be held up to
these promises, as well as the hun

AN'OTIFIER DRAFT.
300,000 inrn Called For.
Scaccely half the ,official re
-turns of last week's election are
announced; and the President, has
made a *call for 300,000 more
troops, volunteers to be accepted
until the fifth of Jantary next, and
the balance to be Drafted. The
:following .is the President's Proc
lamation, dated last Saturday :
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17, 1563.
By the President of the - U. States of Ainerica
e. PROCLAITATIoN
WHEREAS, The term of service of a part of
- tbe volunteer forces of the United States will
expire during the coming year .
And whereas, In addition to the. men raised
by the present draft, it is deemed expedient to
•call out three hundred thousand volunteers to
serve for three years or the war, not however
exceeding three years.
Now, therefore, I, ABIiAITAM LINCOLN, Presi•
dent of the United States and commander-in
ch ief of the army and navy thereof, and of the
militia of the several States' when called into
active service, do issue this my proclamation,
calling upon the Governors of the different States
to raise'and have enlisted into the United States
service'for the various companies and regiments
in the field, from their respective States, their
quotas of three hundred thousand men.
I hither proclaim, that all volunteers thus
called out and duly, enlisted shall receive ad-.
Vance pay, premiums and bounty, as heretofore
-communicated to the Governors of the States by
the War department through the provost mar
,shal general's office by special letters.
I further proclaim, that all volunteers re
- ceived under this call, as.well as all others not
heretofore credited, shall be duly credited on
and deducted from the quotas established for
the next draft.
I futher proclaim, that if any State shell fail
to raise the' quota assigned to it by the War
Department under this call; then a draft for
the dedoiency in said quota shall be made on
said State, or on the districts of said State, for
their duo proportion of said quota ; and, the
said draft shall commence on the fifth day of
January, 1864.
And I 'father proclaim, that no th ing in this
proclamation shall interfere with existing orders
or those which 'may be, issued for the present
draft, in the States where it is now in progress,
• or where it has not yet commenced. •
The quotas of the States and districts will be
assigned by the War Department through the
Provost- Marshal General's office, due ,regard
being had for the men heretofore furnished,
whether by volunteering or drafting.; and the
'recruiting will be conducted in accordance with
such instructions as have been issued by the
department.
In issuing, this proclamation I address myself
not only to the Governors of the several States,
but also to the gbod and loyal people thereof,
invoking them to lend their willing, cheerful
and effective aid to the measures thus adopted,
with a view to reinforce our victorious armies
now in the field, and bring our needful opera
tions to a. prosperous end; thus closing forever
the fountains of sedition and civil war.
In witness whereof I hare hereunto set my
hand and. caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed.

THE RICHEST INCIDENT OF THE SEASON,
This forenoon on conductor Frank
Lyman's yain, coming from Milwan
kie to La Crosse we saw the richest
mistake of the season. In the fourth
seat back of the stove in one of the
passenger.cars sat a gentleman and
lady, sweet and gushing as the fairy
ones of olden times. His arm encir
cled her waist in bear like, squeezing
—his one hand toyed with her ribs—
his other hand wandered around her
amplitudes and bonnet strings like a
lost child in a berry patch, seeking a
place to rest, and his eyes were fixed
.on the face of his fair companion with
all the earnestness of a Romeo. In
short they were the observed- of all
observers. In the first seat back of
the couple alluded to sat a demure
looking lady, naturally interested in
the display of affection in front of
her, so natural and touching. When
the cars entered the tunnel the gen.
tleman was standing by the stove for
a moment. When part way tough,
and while'all was dark as niTht, he
groped his way back—and just as the
train began to emerge into the least
glimmer of light , • was a -yell which
;
-started the entire load of passengers.
The poor fellow had gone one seat
too far back, •bad'seated himself in
the wrong seat, and' was trying his,
best to kiss the demure lady who
,coutaiN'T arE rr! He lit out in a
hurry,, aad with the most sheepish
100k.7-we: - .nver saw, = took his place be-
Aide' the, girl, while the spectators
were convulsed withiLiaughter.—La
C'rosse Herald.
The Election.
The election is over and Woodward.
is defeated by about 15,000 votes. It
was a fight, on our part against•odds
.
in their Lvov, which, when now con ,
sidercd in:ikes us 'almost wonder at,
the democracy at'all'inaking aeon
test, and yet, owing' to the honorable.
exertions anti -justness of cause, they
succeded only, like 'Snider - , - got to
heaven,.by a "tam tight squeesc."—
They had the money, the offices, the
contractors, and the 'speculatore.:---
They had tens of thousands of
diers sent home to help them . 'while
the Democratic soldiers generally
were denied that privilege.
.And, lait, i
but not•loast,theY had the Preachers,
with but few exceptions ontheir sik•
Who not only preaehed - and pray g 4
against the "copperheads," but attend.
ed at the polls and bronght up voters,
vieing with the'moet enthusiastic lay,
man in the district. 'We would not',
say a word against all this, becauSe it
is a matter for them and. their God;.'',
but we allude to it because of the
furor that is made because several
Democratic divines chose to , exer
cise; in a quiet way, the privileges
guaranteed to them by their country.
The persistent ;misrepresentations
and abuse of Democrats and their
principles contributed also to the•re
sult, so that taking all and all togeth
er it is astonishing that we run then;
as close as we did. Notwithstanding
defeated, however, we have'the cons°.
lation of knowing that the Democra
cy, even if out of office, are a power
in the land. The quarter Oa million
of votes we polled, do not justify the,
assersion 'that the Democratic party
Is broken up. It will be the rallying
point`for the conservative elements
of the country, and when the people
have a little more realization of the
dangers that await us as a nation if
the present party continues in power,
they will bo heart and hand witb the
Demderacy when they again buckle
on their-armor for another and final
fight with the fanatical isms of the
land.
Lebanon .iCounly
Although-defeated in State and
county, the Democracy of this coup'
ty have reason to be proud of the suc
cess that attended their exertions to
avert ; that disaster. We polled
. 2653
votes, a poll never heretofore ap.
preached. In 1860 we polled for Alr.
Foster 2234,(the lisrg;est eVer made
except for Mr. .Buchanan ,) and the
opposition polled 3847. Our vete is
new increased 419 while the opposi
tion is decreased nearly 200. COn-
Sidering that we had nettling to aid
us but the righteousness of our cause,
and that the opposition had all the
appliances of National, State, County,
and Borough power, (and they used
all and made them effective too) it is
a. wonderful result.
The majority too has been reduced
over one: -third,' compared with the
majority' or Curtin three years.ag,o.
It was then 1613—now it is 1005. If
the Democracy of every other county
in the State had done as well as-Leba
non county we would not to-day have
Curtin re•ele - cted . for another three
years in Pennsylvania.
The Democracy have a hap
py faculty of reconciling
:them
selves to circumstances' ''over
which they have no dentrol,7:
Many console theineelves, and just
ly toe, , with the reflection' that as
the Abolitionists were a : party in
the cause of the war, in -commen
cing it,' and carryingit an, Aot
should have : the -`glory" of
keeping it up; and as those whe
dance should pay the piper,
:it :is
right and proper that the Aboli
tionists should supply the ways
and means to pay the untold debt
being contracted. .116aey 'has for
two years been borrowed to pay
the interest onthe war debt, fear
ful that if taxation were resorted
to that the people might open
eyes and vote then' down. The
borrowing business Cannot contin
ue much longer, and what,Weod
ward would liave been forced to
do Curtin will also he forced to
do. So Curtin can row. pay the
debt contracted under "Curtin
whereas if Woodivard had been
elected he would have been oblig-.
ed to do for Curtin what the :lat
ter must now do' for himself. The
Democracy would have been held
responsible,:bUt now the responsi
bility will attach where it belongs,
not only, in the payMent of the
debt but also in the ruination of
the country.
AN IMBEDED TOA.D.—A few days
since a workman engaged in laying
the foundation wall of a building in
Oil City, Pa., broke a piece of the
rock with his hammer, when, much
to his astonishment, he discovered a
live toad imbeded in the solid rock.--
The rock was a grey sandstone and
the toad was contained,in a cavity
just large enough for his body. One
of the hind feet was extended a short
distance in the rear of his body.
Just opposite this hole, was another
one of similar size, filled with yellow
clay. These holes were not more
than half an inch apart. The toad is
of the ordinary size, as lively as_a
cricket, and of the color of the stone
from which it was taken;

Ohl a larger scale than heretofore.—
A dispatch tram Washington says:
It; is not true, as has been reported, that the
Governuient has any intention of resorting to
volunteering instead of a draft. It is true that
the conscription has not realized as many men
as. was expected, and it has also proved very
costly, but noit the machinery is in working or
der all over the North. The administration ;
Neves it to bean easy way to secure men. The
milifery authorities, after all has been said, are
still of opinion that the draft is the cheapest and

in August to seek refuge from the loneli

just been vacated by the husband of a

up all the wagons the rebels left as spoils

"I have heard a _great deal Since I
have been here about the rats 'aid mice
that the ladies wear, anctof the waterfalls
that drip from their heads. It was a
long time before I could Understand the
matter. But the fact seems to be this:
The hair is worn in = a .peculiar way.
The large puffs that

of the hair . are
,The small
ones that do the same servite fo the sides
are mice---and the broad "bands, plaited
or not, that fall from the rear of the hood,
are called waterfalls;• cards are Strewn
about proffering services to ladies with a
supply of rats, mice and waterfalls, which,
to the uninitiated, seemed rather odd."

Before the invention of pins, in, 1543,
ladies used to fasten their dresses' with
skewers, made of wood;: bone and ivory.
At first, pins were considered a great
luxury, and not fit for common use. The
maker was not allowed to sell them in.
open shop, except on two days in the
year, at the beginning of January. At
this time husbands gave their wives mon-.
