ff%We shall continue to publish the
Gazette at its present terms, but to do
so will be compelled to prune our list
of ail who do not pay promptly. There
are many on it to whom it would af
ford us pleasure to furnish the paper
without remuneration further than its
cost, but at present prices of printing

A SPECIAfELECTION
TO DECIDE UPON
Amendments to the Constitu
tion;
WILL BE HELD ON
Tuesday, Aug. 2.
There are three separate amendments to
be voted upon on Tuesday, August 2d, 18C4.
The first, allowing the soldiers to vote.
1 he sec ind is intended to preveut what is
ealied "log rolling" legislation.
Ihe third will save much of the time of
t:e Legislature which should be devoted to
more important subjects.
It is important that the legal form of the
.ballots to be used should he properly under 1
stood. \V e give a ticket in favor of all three
amendments:
FIRST AMENDMENT.
FOR THE AMENDMENT.
SECOND AMENDMENT.
FOR THE AMENDMENT.
TUIRD AMENDMENT.
FOR THE AMENDMENT.
These are to be cut and folded separate,
and deposited in separate boxes. These
amendments are all right, proper and just,
and should be voted for by the united Union
party. They are worthy of the people of
Pennsylvania.
The election must be held by the
Judges and Inspectors elected last !
spring.
The Amendments and the Nigger.
Ihe copperheads it appears can't
get along without the Nigger, as we ;
liear from several sources that gangs i
ol these snakes are actually election
eering against the amendment allow-!
ing soldiers to vote on theground that
as there are negro soldiers, the amend
ment would also give them the right
to vote. To show how utterly de
bused, lowiifed, mean, contemptible,
dirty, and shameless any man must be
w ho knowingly resorts to such infamy, ;
vie refer our readers to the amendment
as published in the Sheriffs proclama
tion, where it plainly reads thus:,
" Whenever any of f/te QUALIFIED ELECTORS '
of this Commonwealth shall It in any \
actual military service,'' tf-c. As negroes
are not "qualified electors" of this com
mon wealth, the man who ass- rts that
the amendment gives the negro the
right to vote, if adopted, must either '
be a natural fool or a most consummate
knave. TURN OUT. FRIENDS OF
THE SOLDIER on Tuesday next
every hour satisfies us more and more
that there is a copperhead plot on foot
to defeat the amendments.
_ Ihe Richmond papers last week
killed off Gen. Grant, but at last ac
counts he was still kicking at the doors
of Petersburg.
—ln looking over a speech ot Yoor
hees of Indiana, one of jiff DaviUs
northern niggers, we see he asserts
that the administration has never by
"vtord, sign, or look offered a peaceful
solution of this conflict. Now he must
be an ignorant man indeed who does
not know that President Lincoln re
peatedly called on the rebels to lay
down their arms and return to the
Union with all their rights unimpair
ed; but it is by such wilful lies north
ern tories hope to deceive the people
and thus elect some one as President
who will make peace by yielding to
the rebels all they claim, even if it he
Washington City and Marvland
Peace Negotiations
The leading topic of discussion dur
ing the past week, is the Conference
at Niagara between Horace Greeley,
and Messrs. Clay and llolcombe, of
the Rebel .States.
Mr. Greeley was invited to a confer
ence by the latter gentlemen —who ap
peared, as they say, not as agents
clothed with power to negotiate for
peace, but as "confidential friends" in
the employ of the rebel government.
What the real object of these "con
fidential friends" may have been, re
mains to be yet discovered. They
professed only to desire a familiarchut
with the President in behalf of the
great interests of Peace. What were
the terms or the ground work upon
which they desired to establish Peace,
were not avowed. It is to be presum
ed however, unless all the manifestoes
of the Rebel leaders have been a lie—
they were such as required the recog
nition of the Independence cl the so
called "Confederate States."
Assuming this to be the case, the
President, when applied to for a free
conduct to Washington, with great
frankness and friendliness, set forth
with brevity but great distinctness,
the terms upon which he was willing
to treat—the integrity of the Union—
the abolition of Slaverv. Ac.
These terms, well understood and
published to the world, as the platform
of the government —repeatedly both
by Congress and the Executive—and
therefore not to be ignored by the lat
ter without an abandonment of its rec
ognized policy—seems to Wave been
highly offensive to the rebel dignita
ries, and the negotiations with Mr.
Greeley were summarily closed.
Two things may be assumed as cer
tain—that these gentlemen sought,
first, the Preservation of Slaver}-, and
second, the recognition of Confederate
Independence.
We incline to the opinion that the
whole proceeding was a loeofoco trick,
designed to aid the nominee of the
Chicago convention, and that Mr.
Greeley was drawn in to give color to
it. 'I he bare fact that they acknowl
edged having no authority from the
rebel government, and that they had
been in caucus with sundry democrat
ic politicians of the worst stamp, leaves
little doubt on this subject, as Mr.
James R. Gilmore. better known ai
Edmund Ivirke, who lately visited
Richmond with the sanction of the
President, says in his published letter
that on Sunday a week Jef Davis used
the following language to him:
" This xrnr must go on till the last of this gen
eration falls in his tracks and his children
seize his musket and fight our battle, unless
you acknowledge our right to self government.
We are not lighting for slavery; we are
fighting for independence, and that or ex
termination we will have."
This shows what Jeffs ideas of peace
are, and also shows what the copper
head sheets mean when they say Pres
ident Lincoln rejects offers of peace,
namely, DISUNION.
J ICKETS. — We will print in a few days
at this office Tickets against the proposed
Amendments to the Constitution, and we
hope our friends throughout the county
will call for them and also use them.—Ne
linsgrove Times, July 22.
ihe first amendment proposes to
allow soldiers the right of suffrage as
electors, the most important a citizen
held until A\ oodward s copperhead
decision deprived him of it—the sec
ond prohibits the Legislature from
passing snake bills—and the third
would do away with much corruption
and spare u great deal of time— yet
this patent democratic rebel and dis
union advocate gives notice that it
will print tickets against these amend
ments and hopes it friends will use
theml The Times, more honorable
than most of its patent democratic
cotemporaries, boldly advocates dis
union, considers the Southern nigger
breeders as the ne plus ultra of demo
cratic gentlemen, calls our soldiers
Lincoln's hirelings, officers of' the law
government spies, &c., and thus wears
the cloven foot without shoe or cover
ing, while its brethren, not a whit less
vicious or rebellious conceal it under a
pretended show of patriotism. We
have rumors that the democracy have
been secretly electioneering against
the amendments in several districts of
this county—and among the tories,
under the lead of a notorious copper
head in Decatur openly so—and the
result next Tuesday will show wheth
er it is so or not. The soldiers, how
ever, at home or abroad, can thus see
what they have to expect from those
who call themselves democrats, for we
think we can safely affirm there is
not a war democrat or republican in
Mifflin county who will not vote in
favor of giving them a say so in our
elections, because they at least do not
believe that when a man goes to de
fend his country he ought to lose his
dearest rights as a citizen.
Peace with the Rebels.
i Few persons probably spend a
thought upon the manner in which
peace can be made with the rebels, for
if they did no man, or woman either,
having the least regard for honor, for
patriotism, or for self-respect, would
be so utterly lost to all sense of shame,
so abject and degraded, as to say thev
are in favor of peace on any terms ! We
! have met with a few who gave utter
ance to the infamous sentiment, but
satisfied that they are either rebels at
heart or ignorant as selfish, we leave
the future to deal with them and their
! posterity, for they will as surely be
■ marked as ever was Hessian or Tory
in the Revolution. \\ ben therefore a
1 foo'ish man talks of "peace on any
terms. ' we hope someone will ask him
what he means? For instance, Jef
Davis claims Maryland—is he in favor
of giving it to him, and thus making
Pennsylvania a border State and the
j future scene of all wars that would
I take place.'' Washington City is op
posite Arlington Heights in Virginia
—is he in favor of having a foreign
government occupying them, so as to
; shell that city and destroy all it con
tains? Washington City is in Mary
land proper—is lie in favor of giving
him that! Virginia and Kentucky
border the Ohio river—will he yield
them? Mississippi and Louisiana oc
i cupy both banks of the Mississippi riv
: er, that great outlet of the west —will
he consent that a foreign power shall
command its banks and mouth ? Del
aware, and that copperhead sand bank
New Jersey, might take a notion un-
I der the patent democratic doctrine of
I ."state Rights, to secede and Jef claim
| them—will he consent ? In fact there
is no end to the ignominy which a
"peace on any terms" man must sub
mit to. and we know of no country in the
world where such a man ought to re
side unless it be the Kingdom of Da
homy, in Africa, where its ruler some
times slays a thousand men, women
and children in a day to gratify his
appetite for dinner. There the peace
on any terms man would have a fit
master.
Peace can be made, and we believe
i and that too before long in two
ways. £ irst, the rebels can lay down
1 their arms, and submit to the clemency
! of a government which never did them
' any wrong; and strange as it may
| sound to copperhead croakers in the
north— u}-e, even in our midst—there
are abundant reasons for believing that
a settled gloom and despondency have
come over the deluded people of the
South, arid that that despondency is
fast gaining ground in the rebel army,
a sure prelude to submission or de
struction. Grant undoubtedly has the
hydra-headed monster by the throat,
while Sherman is dealing death-blows
on its body. Let then the northern
copperheads advise their "southern
brethren" to lay down their arms, and
the war ceases. 2d. The 500,000 men
called for by the President will make
a speed// peace , for trom the day that
an army of 150,000 men will march
hetxeeen .Richmond and Georgia, and
50,000 or 100,000 be added to each
of'our great armies, there is an end to
rebeldom, as one mighty blow would
crush it forever. The way then to
peace is to encourage volunteering, to
cheer our noble soldiers in the field, to
aid the government, and if a draft
comes to abide by it without grum
bling; for as we remarked last week,
the man who is not willing to serve
his country and government for one
year of his life in an hour of need, is
unworthy of either. On the other
hand the way to a prolongation of the
war is to decry the government, its
bonds, and its notes; to yelp about ab
olition, taxes, poor man, rich man,
constitution, and a hundred other terms
to be heard from the mouths of brawl
ing politicians and demagogues whose
Gods are office and contracts.

WAR NEWS.
The Fursuit of the Raiders.
WASHINGTON, Ju!Y 21.—A dispatch
from Geo. Hunter reports the following,
just received from Gen. Averill.
NEAR WINCHESTER, July 20 —Breck
inridge divided his ioree at Berrveviile ia?t
"i-ht, sending Early to Winchester and
taking the other division towards Mill
wood.
I attacked and defeated Early to day in
I trout nt Winchester, killingand wounding
; over 300 of his officers and men, captur
ing lour cannon, several hundred stand of
small arms, and about two hundred prison
! ers.
Geo. Lilly i s seriously wounded and in
our hands. Col. Board, of the sStb Vir
; ginu Regiment, is killed. The cannon
j and prisoners have been sent to Martins
j burg. The enemy's loss in officers is
heavy.
1 lie prisoners admit their force to have
I been ii\e thousand. The commands of
Jackson and luihoden, which were present,
are not included in the mentioned strength.
Generals Hunter and Wright in Pursuit
! , ASHINGTON, July 21.—1t appears that
Gen. Hunter only asked to be relieved of
his command in order to avoid a possible
emharrasment to the Government, and to
facilitate Major General Wright in his
movements in pursuit of the rebel army
lately invading Maryland. Further ex
planations have shown that there was no
necessity for this action on the part of
Gem Hunter, who will, therefore, continue
in his present position, in which already so
much service has been done.
Brig. Gen. Crook has been appointed a
Major General on Gen. Hunter's very
earnest recommendat on.
Ihe pursuit of the enemy and nf the
enemy s trains is being carried on by the
forces under Generals Wright and Hunter
with great vigor and every promise of
large success. '1 hey are moving south
; ward on parallel lines, and between them
it is believed that little of the Maryland
plunder will ever reach the Richmond
railroads. There was hut little in the way
of food or stock to he stolen in Maryland',
and what little there was the rebels were
in too great a hurry to collect systemati
eally. Many well informed people think
Early s men wiil be hungry before they
j reach Richmond.
Capture of Rebel Teamsters—Wagon
Train Destroyed—Mishap of "the
Raiders.
WASHINGTON, July 21—Eighty one
1 rebel prisoners have been brought hither
from Sandy Hook, Maryland. They state
that they were in charge of one of the
invading plunder trains, and were over
taken near Snicker's Gap by a portion of
the pursuing force of General Crook.
A fight immediately followed, but the
train guard, finding it impossible to save
the train, destroyed it by fire and retreated,
leaving the teamsters and others at the
mercy of our forces.
The Reported Invasion.
Ihe evening edition of the American
publishes the lollowing :
\\ e have been able this morning to as
certain nothing definite with regard to the
rebel movements at Martinsburg and along
the line of the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road, further than the fact that must of
the exciting stories in circulation on Mon
day evening, were either unfounded or
greatly exaggerated.
As far as we can ascertain this morning,
Gen. Averill has not been killed, as report
ed, but was compelled by a greatly superi
or rebel force to fall back to the Pot. mac,
through Matinsburg to W il.iauisport, Mu ,
; carrying with him the garrison at that
I point.
Whether the rebels occupied Martins
; burg last night is not known; but of its
j evacuation by our troops there seems to be
no doubt This morning trains to Freder
ick and Washington went out as usual,
and a train for Sandy Hook left at 7 45.
i The suspension of telegraph operations
last night is said to have been caused by
the storm of wind blowing down the poles.
Gen. Hunter has, however, forbidden
! all telegraphic communication with Har
per's Ferry, and of course we have noth
ing direct from that vicinity.
From Gen- Sherman.
WASHINGTON, July 22.
Official advices from General Sherman,
received this morning, cover the operations
down to last night. The work of iuvesting
the city is fast going on. There was some
hard fighting yesterday, resulting in the re
pulse of the euemy in his efforts to dislodge
our troops.
Gen. Palmer advanced his line to a more
advantageous position. Our loss during
the day was small.
Gen Sherman holds the railroad leading
from Atlanta towards Richmond, so that
Johnson cannot escape by that route to rein
force Lee. His only rueans of leaving
Atlanta, is by two roads leading south to
Macon, and southwest to West Point and
Mobile.
If Johnson escapes with his army by
either of these last named routes, he will
be obliged to move quickly.
Terrific Battle in Atlanta.
W ASHINGTON, July 25,
The Republican lias issued au extra
with the following information from
Gen. Sherman's army.
Dispatches to the Government
represent that a great battle was being
fought in Atlanta on Friday, resulting
in horrible slaughter and a complete
repulse of the enemy at every point.
The enemy holding the largest part of
the city, assaulted our works on Fri
day with great fury, evidently ex
pecting to drive our forces out of the
city.
The 15th Corps, commanded by
Frank Blair, seemed to be the special
object ot the rebel wrath, as the enemy
massed against it an overwhelming
force. The 15th received the shock 1
gallantly, and held its own until Gen.
j budge with the 10th Corpi, came up,
| when the rebels were hurled back with
i great slaughter.
Gen. Logan, at the bead of the 17th
Corps, went into battle with the railj"-
1 ing t-ry of "Remember MePherson."
Tiiis Corps as well as Davis' loth
Corps, both eon.s'ituting the army un
der Major General MePherson. fought
desperately, the news of their brave
commander's death having le<oi com
ti unieated to thuin just before going
into battle.
Gen. MePherson was shot while
reeonnoitering. He having become
n r
separated from his staff for a moment,
a rebel sharpshooter shot him t'roru an
. ambush.
The terrible struggle ended lv re
pulsing the enemy at every point on
tlie line.
it was arranged that on Saturday
the dead of both armies should be
buried, and the wounded removed un
der a flag of truce.
The Union troops buried one thou
sand rebels left on the field within our
lilies, many of theirown dead beingnear
their own works.
Upon this basis, it is estimated that
the rebel killed and wounded, on Fri
day, will exceed s;x thousand, the
average of killed and wounded in bat
tie being about seven wounded to one
killed.
Our loss will reach about 2.0<>0 in
killed and wounded—the 15th Corps
suffering severely, for the reason named
above, that the enemy massed against
it.
It was this act of the enemv in part
that cost him such heavy loss. While
the work of burying the dead and re
moving the wounded was going on on
Saturday, Sherman's heavy artillery
was playing upon the city. At the
same time large fires were observed in
different parts of Atlanta, supposed to
he the destruction of sapplv depots
and such other property as they could
not convey away, and did not wish to
have fall into our hands
This was considered evidence of an
intention by the enemy to evuacuate
the place.
Several rebel generals are reported
killed, but their names are not given
Gen. Smiths Victory Over Forrest in
Mississippi.
Details of the battle of Tupelo prove
that Gen. Smith out-manoeuvred the
rebels thoroughly; and whipped them
in rive several but united conflicts from
the 13th to the 17th in?t. On the night
of the 13th they attempted a surprise !
and were repulsed. Gen. Forrest led
three charges on the 15th, and each
was repulsed. Butord's cavalry divis
ion was defeated on the Itith. From
the loth to the 19th our troops were
without supplies and subsisted on the
rebels. On the 2<Jth the expedition
1 reached Lagrange with a loss of five
hundred men. The rebels lost 2400
men, including five generals and 2UOU
j prisoners
There is no special news from Gen.
Grant's forces.
