EgL.On Wednesday last, when many a
noble soldier of the Union ariny at Sharps
burg in Maryland took his last look of earth,
and thousands were writhing in agony from
wounds inflicted by rebel bullets, a meet
ing was held in Lewistown of the choicest
spirits of locofocoism, and a political har
angue delivered by one who was, up to within
a short period of time, the defender and
apologist of the very traitors who were
that day shooting down some of our own
citizens! And all this was done in the
name of democracy To say that this ill
timed and uncalled for gathering created a
deep feeling in this community, is saying
but little, for men, women and children
combined to denounce it as a mockery of
the danger wc were in. To the credit how
ever of the masses of the democratic pa:ty,
we must say that with the exception of a
lew party hacks and office-hunters, not a
township in the county, save Decatur, dis
graced itself by sending a delegation of
any kind; but as that delegation consisted
in the main of New York Day Book men,
and a parcel of exempts who had by hook
and crook got clear of military duty the
week before, it did not create much wonder
to see them here. We thiuk however that
the cutting sarcasm of the question "when
they were going to Ilarrisburg ?" made
many a cheek tingle, and may prove a use
ful lesson in the future. As a mass meet
ing it was a grand failure—as its adjourn
inent to the Town "Hall, which was not
much over half filled, clearly proves.
President has issued a proclama
tion given notice that, on the first day of:
January next, "all persons held as slaves
within any State or designated part of
State, the people whereof shall then be in
rebellion against the United States, shall be
then, thenceforward, and forever free: and
the Executive Government, including the
military and naval authority thereof, will
recognize and maintain the freedom of
such persons."
This strikes at the root of the rebellion,
and will end it and its cause whenever car
ried out.

Hon. S. S. BLAIR, who was nominated
for Congress, is undoubtedly acoond to no
man in the district in worth and ability,
and has an experience which ought to be
possessed by every man representing a
district in this national crisis. His oppo
nent for aught we know may be an estima
ble man, but the fact that his partisan pro
clivities are in antagonism to the adminis
tration, and that lie is supported by the
tory element in the district, ought to make
every voter ponder on the propriety of
electing members of that stamp. That
truly conservative democrats are not accep

Hon. Joseph Bailey of I'erry county, who
in his speeches and votes proved himself an
uncompromising opponent of the rebellion;
and although the choice of Perry and Cum
berland, York county sent six conferees to
balance those two counties, and now sup
ports that political trimmer A. J. Gloss
brenner! In this district, the Lewistown
Democrat, whose editor defended Yancey,
Jef Davis, Cobb and rebcldom genorally
long after all loyal men had shrunk from
their hellish treason, is one of the most
ardent supporters of Mr. McAllister; and
until he discards such association, he will
be judged by the company he is in.
The Perry Freeman, in noticing our
candidate for Senator, says: Major Haines
is so well known in this county that it
would be useless to say anything about
him. He is extensively known in every
county in the Senatorial dtstsict. On
the great question of the day, to wit:
the maintenance of the Union and the
Constitution, he is sound an I reliable. —
He is in favor of the most vigorous meas
les for the crushing out of this causeless
and wicked rebellion. No sound Union
man in the district need hesitate a moment
in casting his vote for Major Haines.
Our candidate for Assembly, HOLMES
MACLAY, is well known throughout the
county as a strict business man and ster
ling supporter of the w*r measures of the
administration, and will support it without
any ifs or hits found in fhe mouths of
Buchanan advocates. Ilis opponent was
one of those who fell in with the Breckin
ridge disorganizing pavement at Charles
ton in the last presidential campaign; and
however loyal he may be, it is certain that
the New York Pay Book faction and every
man who has given expression to disloyal
sentiments, is supporting and will vote for
him. In with this, we may
here notice one of the smallest attempts at
electioneering that has yet come to our
knowledge. Some of Mr. Boss's friends
are industriously circulating the story that
if he will be elected the tonnage tax will
be restored, and in one case at least it was
added that Mr. Maclay would vote against
its restoration. We do not know that the
question will be brought up next winter,
unless to tnake political capital for some
sore-headed members, but if it is, we feel
satisfied from Mr. Boss's course last winter
that Mr. Maclay would be quite as safe a
representative on that score as the former,
and perhaps a little more so
For Commissioner the nominee is SAM
UEL DRAKE, a worthy farmer of Wayne,
whom all that know him endorse as honest
and capable, and iikely to make a faithful
guardian of the taxpayers' interests. He
is located too in the right quarter —a fact
which ought to command every vote for
him up the river—while our opponents,
adhering to their old fogy notion of nomi
nating candidates in rotation as they did
when a nomination was equivalent to an
election, have taken one from the valley,
which is now and will be for two years to
come, represented in the board. We have
no acquaintance with Mr. Ilazlett, but by
all accounts he is a bitter partisan of the
ultra school.
NATHANIELC. WII.SON, of McVeytown,
who we think led our ticket three years
ago, has been again nominated for Pro
thonotary, and certainly deserves an elec
tion. Personally we have not the slightest
objection to his opponent, Judge Wilson,
yet we must confess we cannot see why he
should desire the office at all. He cannot
attend to the duties himself, and would
therefore have to porform them by deputy,
thus materially lessening the income of an
office not over-profitable to one man.
SAMUEL W. BARR, a young man of
good attainments and steady habits, was
appointed to fill the office until first Decem

WAR NEWS,
Among the extraordinary things in this
war not the least is the almost total absence
of official reports from our generals, leaving
the people to judge of occurring events
from the vague and indefinite, and gener
ally conflicting, statements in the daily
newspapers. We have it is true, an occa
sional telegraphic despatch announcing re
sults, but leaving all else to conjecture.
The events succeeding the despatches pub
lished in our last are summed up by the
correspondent of the New York Times —
generally reliable —as follows :
Wednesday Evening, Sept. 17, 1862.
The greatest battle of the war was fought
to-day, lasting from daylight till dark, and
closing without decisive result. The whole
forces of McClellan and Lee were engaged for
fourteen hours. Two hundred thousand men
have fought with the utmost determination on
both sides. Neither eau claim a complete vie
tory, hut McClellan has partially carried the
rebel position, holding most favorable ground
for renewing the attack, and holding all the
ground which was gained at any time during
the fight.
All our own dead and wounded, and many
of the enemy's, are in our hands.
On the left of the rebel position Hooker,
Sumner and Franklin have crossed Antietain
Creek, and have driven the enemy from the
ground they chose to cover their flanks in
front of our batteries, and troops have stead
ily advanced and occupy to night a range of
hills considerably beyond those first taken.
On the rebel right they have lost the bridge
over the creek, which was carried after a hard
fight, and Burnside has crossed with all his
forces.
The result of the day's fight, therefore, is
that the rebels have everywhere lost ground,
their position is contracted, both flanks attack
ed with success, and their rear and only line
of retreat seriously threatened.
After the brilliant victory on Sunday at
South Mountain, near Middletown, McClellan
pushed his army rapidly forward, sending
cavalry and artillery out on the Ilagerstown
road, Burnside through Fox Gap to the
Sharpshurg road, and the rest of his forces
through Boonesboro to lvoedysville, and
thence towards Sharpshurg.
On the crest of the hill this side of Sharps
burg, the enemy were discovered in great
force. Their troops had been brought down
from Ilagerstown, up from Harper's Ferry,
and part of the army held in Virginia as re
serve. Lee, Jackson, Longstreet, Hill, and
all the best generals left with them were
there, and with all of their best troops.
Except occasional artillery contests, the
armies faced each other in quiet during the
rest on Monday.
On Tuesday there was no movement on our
side till toward night. The rebels had kept
batteries in position, but their iufantry was
withdrawn from view, and it was still uncer
tain whether they were retreating or reinfor
cing. About four o'clock in the afternoon of
Tuesday Hooker was ordered to cross An tie
tam creek, at the upper ford on the right,
with his whole corps, attack the enemy's left
and occupy a position on their flank. He
crossed without opposition, sent forward car
airy skirmishers who were speedily driven
back, and then, advancing with his whole
force about six o'clock, took possession of
strong ground, close to the rebels left, and
immediately became engaged with artil
lery and infantry. Darkness ended the fight
with slight loss 011 either side. Hooker carry
ing and holding the woods from which the
enemy's first fire came.
There were constant alarms during the
night, the hostile pickets being close to each
other all along the line. Early in the even
ing the rebels took to fighting among them
selves, and several heavy volleys were deliv
ered before they discovered their mistake.
At daybreak the tight was renewed sudden
ly and vehemently, both sides opening fire
together. The number and position of the
rebel latteries the evening before bad dis
closed that they were in great force on the
right, and word had been sent to McClel an
to advance Suntner's corps during the night.
It did not arrive on the field till nine in the
morning.
McClellan's plan of battle was briefly as
follows: Hooker was to cross the creek on the
right, as before stated ; Sumner, Franklin,
and Mansfield to 00-operate with and sustain
his attack. In front the batteries were to
push forward with infantry supports, and an
effort to be made to carry the heights on the
left. Burnside was to cross the creek by the
bridge, and attack the rebel right, moving on
Sharpshurg also, which was in their rear,
and thus cut off their retreat. Porter and
Sykes were held in reserve. The plan, if
successful, would have resulted in the de
struction of the rebel army. The ground is
peculiar. The rebel line was formed on a
crescent shaped ridge, which in front slopes
down into an undulating valley, irregularly
broken by connecting ranges of hills. Be
hind the crest the rebel forces lay in uneven
and strong positions, sheltered by ridges and
hills, and especially strong on the flanks.
Antietam creek, a stream too deep to ford
except in very few places, sweeps by the base
of their position, and protected it from as
snult.
McClellan's forces were first formed in
front, and afterward thrown to the right and
left. There is little or no ground on our side
equal in height to the rebel position.
Hooker sustained, unaided, the attack on
the rebel left fo%oe nearly four hours. His
line had been formed the night before, and
fought to day in the same order. Rickett's
Division was on the left.
Meade's Penna. Reserves in the centre,
Doubleday's Division on the right. These
terms are, of course, to be understood as re
ferring to Hooker's line, not the whole field.
There was artillery at all points. Meade
gained ground in his first attack.
Ricketts also went forward through the
woods in his front, and Doubleday, with his
Suns, held front against a heavy cannonade,
leade advancing, finally met a heavy body
of fresh troops thrown suddenly and vigor
ously against him, and was driven back over
part of the ground he had just won. Rick
etts' line was at the same time hard pressed
and became deranged. Mansfield, who had
come over the creek the night before, was
ordered into the woods to Ricketts' support,
and HartsufFs Brigade, part of Doubleday's
command was sent to sustain Meade. Mans
field took the greatest part of bis troops to
Ricketts' help, but they were unable to extend
their line, and in the effort to push forward
his men, General Mansfield was mortally
wounded. General Hartsuff advanced to the
relief cf Meade with the 12th and J3th Mas
sachusetts and another regiment. The
Pennsylvania troops were retiring in haste
and some confusion. Hartsuff seized a bridge
in front of the field over which the rebels were
pressing, and held it in splendid style for
more than half an hoar against a greatly su
perior attack. His men behaved most gal
lantly, standing on this exposed ground fir
ing steadily and never wavering once.
General Hartsuff was very soon severely
wounded. His troops retained their positi >n,
and finally by the precision and rapidity of
their fire, compelling the enemy to retreat in
stantly, advanced in pursuit. While they
had been engaged Hooker ordered up Cravr
ford's and Gordon's brigades to their support.
Hartsuff retained the advance, and Craw
ford and Gordon's followed in support. A
rebel battery on the right, which had been
most annoying by an enfilading fire, was
silenced by Donbleday's guns, and Hooker or
dered bis whole line forward.
The rebels were driven through the corn field
again into the woods beyond where they
could not be easily dislodged without artil
lery. Gen. Hooker, who all the morning had
kept himself under fire and generally in the
hottest of it, rode forward to examine the
ground in front in order to plant a battery.—
As he rode up the hill he became a conspic
uos mark for the rebel sharpshooters; their
fire increased very suddenly and Gen. Hooker
was wounded in the left foot, a bullet passing
entirely through it. Three men were shot
down by his side at the same moment lie was
wounded.
Up to this time the attack has been a suc
cess. The hardest fought gr rnnd was in the
undisputed possession of Hooker's troops, and
his last order, as he was borne from the field,
was that Crawford's and Gordon's Brigades
should immediately advance and carry the
woods to the light The whole line had gone
forward with the wildest cheering and every
thing looked like a complete and speedy suc
cess. At this fortunate moment G'-n. Sumner
arrived on the field at the head of his veteran
corps. Pursuing the forward movement, he
led his men immediately against the rebel
line to the support of Crawford. Sedgwick's
Division, the flower of the Peninsula army,
advanced on the right, Richardson and French,
at a considerable interval, on the left. The
first volley from Sedgwick's troops was tre
mendous, but it was answered by a heavier
one.
Crawford had found the rebels in great
force in the woods, and was already in need
of assistance. Sedgwick's flank also became
exposed on the lett in consequence of the dis
tance between hiui and the other divisions.
The rebels peraeived their advantages; and
at the same time pressing Crawford and at
tacking on Sedgwick's broke Crawford's line,
which fell back in confusion on Sedgwick.
The 34th New York on the left was forced
to give away at the same time, and the woods
were yielded to the enemy.
General Sedgwick was severely wounded in
the shoulder, leg and wrist, but refused to
leave the field till his division retired.
General Howard then took command, and
ordered the division in the rear. Major Sedg
wick, aid of General Sedgwick, was shot
through the body, but is not mortally woun
ded. Many of the regiments suffered most
severely. The 15th Massachusetts lost nine
out of seventeen officers, whose names are giv
en in the list annexed. Colonel llinks, of
the 19th Massachusetts, was killed. Colunel
W istar, Ist California, was severely wounded.
The 34th New York could gather but thirty
four men when rallied.
French and Richaidson meantime held a
position well to the left and less in advance,
and kept it. General Richardson, not long
after, was severely wounded in the shoulder
while leading a bolting regiment. General
Dana, of Sedgwick's Division, was wounded
but not severely. G'-nera' Sumner found
himself obliged by this reverse to withdraw
his lines to their first position, where he held
theai firmly, lie had Leen exposed during
all the action to the hottest of the lire. Col
one! Revere, of his staff, w.-ys wounded in
arm; Captain Audenrivd MA ch* W-g.
General Pnuiklin arrived with his corps
about 1 o'clock, sending General Slocum's
Division to the left and in front. General
Smith's was advanced over the same ground
that had just been lost. His gallant Maine
and Vermont troops went in at a double
quick, driving the rebels before thorn, anil on
the fences and beyond the woods, and again
took the point, this time not to be given up.
This was accomplished by 3 o'clock.
Meanwhile the forces jn front of the whole
had !>• en gaining some ground. Hard fight
ing all along the line has continued at intervals
through the day. French and Slocutn wre
well toward the centre. It was time to hear
from Rurnside, who had been long delayed in
his effort to carry the bridge.
At four o'clock, McClellan sent orders to
Burnside to cross at once, at all hazards, and
capture or silence the battery in front. The
bridge was captured in gallant style, but with
the loss of Colonel Kingsbury and 500 killed
and wounded. Burnside, when i nee across,
advanced on the rebel right along the Sharps
burg road and up the slopes of the hill. A
position of great importance was carried at
first by his impetuous attack, but was after
wards abandoned, as the rebels were able to
bring tw heavy masses of troops from the
centre and left to oppose Burnside.
Oar attack on the left having eeased for the
time, Sumner and Franklin were ordered by
McClellan to hold their own, and the advance
of Burnside was relied on to decide the day.
Darkness was near before he was over the
creek, and the forces against him too strong
for his number, lie, therefore, was obliged
to content himself with defending the bridge
and his position beyond, and the final attack
was postponed till to morrow. The fire on
both sides died away gradually, and at seven
o'clock the battle was over for the day. Its
results I have stated above; it was everywhere
very desperately contested, and the loss on
both sides very large. Ten Generals on our
side are killed and wounded.
Subsequently, the rebel army effected
its retreat across the Potomac, and though
represented as flying, we tear they are do
ing so in good order. If Sigel, however,
has anything like a fair army, we are yet
in hopes that the gallant Dutchman, who
has so frequently shown himself as consum
mate a general as he is brave in action,
will yet do something towards destroying
the rebel army.
That army ought never to reach Rich
mond.
The capture of Harper's Ferry, with
11,000 Union prisoners, was a most shame
ful affair, reflecting but little credit on
somebody. Col. Miles, its commander,
was killed.
At last accounts McClellan's army was
crossing the Potomac.
The rebel loss is said to exceed ours, and
as the official report makes the loss in Sum*
ner's army corps alone as 5,205 killed,
wounded and missing, the slaughter of human
beings must have been most horrible.
Commander Preble, of the United States
navy, has been dismissed from the service
by the President for neglect of duty, in
allowing the Anglo rebel armed steamer
Ovieto, alias '290,' alias 'Laird's Steamer,'
to run the blockade into Mobile.
General Grant telegraphs that the victory
of Gen. Rosecranz over General Price, at luka
was more important than at first reported.
Their dead left on the field numbered 261,
whilst our loss in killed was less than 1 JO.
Four or five thousand Union troops surren
dered at Mnmfordsville, Kentucky, among
them probably Charles E. Thomas of Lewis
town .
The Pennsylvania militia have been order
ed home.

Tell the Truth and Sham; the Dciil!
I AM t<iM that Samuel !. Haines has said
to a number of MilHin county farmers, j
that tie made the same kind of horse power )
long since, which I am now making, (Pelton's ;
Patent) and that he found it was not good arid
abandoned it. and if any one doubts it he can
show them the wheels. The object of this ;
communication is to give a history of those
wheels as related to me by those who claim
to know the truth, as follows;
Lewis Wisler some years since brought to j
tiiis county a Pelton Horse Power. It was
left in a place where some or.e drove against
it with a wagon and broke it. lie took it to !
Samuel B. Haines to get it repaired; .Mr,
Haines did not (perhaps could not) repair it.
but set it in the cellar of his shop, where it
remains, and is what he shows as being of
his own make. This summer Lewis Wisler
sold it to W. P. Graham, giving him an order
for it, but Mr. llaines refused to deliver it.
The inference is easily drawn.
I have no objection to his making any kind
of machines he has a right to make ; nor do
I wish to divert his customers to myself in
any way but by their own choice. If I make
the best article the public will find it out for
themselves; I leave them to judge.
I am the sole agent of the Patentee, Saml.
Pelton, fur all of Pennsylvania west of the
Susquehanna, and I am not aware of any
privilege to build being granted to any one
before me in the district described, except Dr.

IRVIN WALLIS'
Screw-top, Air-tight Fruit Can,
PATENT PENDING,,
nniHS Can, after being thoroughly tested,
is now conceded by all who have used it
to be the best Can in market. It has proved
itself perfectly Air tight in every instance,
and the Gum being en the outside is there
fore free from a great objection. This year
I have aot only remedied the top, which is
now much neater, but it is so constructed
that you can apply a wrench thnt I give wi'JK,
the Cans to screw and unscrew, which can
be done with ease. Also, other Sealing Cant
and Glass Jars. Sold LOW for ca.ih, only at
THE BIG COFFEE POT SIGN.
