Of Menno township. For County Auditor, 'JNO. H. WHITEHEAD. The Quota for this Congressional Dis trict. Some weeks ago it was discovered that the number of men required from this district (2366) was out of all pro portion compared with other districts —the quota taking one man out of eve ry 41, while in the Dauphin and some others but one out of 8 was required. Tbe average through the State was understood to he about one out of ev ery 6. Satisfied that there was some thing wrong in this great inequality, measures were taken to draw the at tention of the authorities to it. and Messrs. J. A. McKee and D. I). Mut thersbough proceeded to Harrisburg, for tbe purpose of making an exami nation, when it appeared that the congressional quota had been fixed on the old rolls of this district, numbering over 13,000 names, 1200 or 1500 of whom were actually in the service, and at least an equal number exempt. Col. Dodge promised to look into the matter, acknowledging there appeared ; to be something inexplicable in the proportion assigned. Subsequently Messrs. D. W. Woods and H. J. Wal ters proceeded tollollidaysburg, where ! the amended roll exhibited the fact that it numbers hut about 10,000, or 3000 less than the former. A commit tee will proceed to Harrisburg to-dav j with a view to have a correction of the quota made. Whether the total can or will he altered now, vte cannot undertake to say; but it seems to us there ought to he no hesitation in cor recting a discrepancy of this kind, for it stands to reason that the draft ought not to take more men in proportion out of one district than another. Evidences of Treason. The seizure of a large quantity of fire arms at New York, intended tor an association calling itself democratic at Indianapolis, with correspondence at the latter place, implicating Vallan- i diugham, Voorhees and others of a similar brand, all bear intrinsic evi dence that rebel agents at New York, are furnished money for the purpose of creating discontent, riots, resistance ' to the laws, &c., at the North, for in dividuals or mere associations would not invest more than a million arid a half dollars in such an enterprise. The presses too, in this State, which are insidiously preaching treason and in citing to a resistance of the draft, all act with so much accord as to leave little room for doubt that the texts for these articles are prepared at New York, arepaui for out of this rebel fund, and are designed to secure the disunion of this country. Pick up, for instance a package of self styled democratic papers, and seven out of ten will be found to be filled with articles de nouncing the government almost word for word in the same manner that the blue-light federalists of 1812 denounced Madison and his administration during the war with Great Britain, and pre cisely in the same way that the nulli fiers of South Garoiina and Georgia yelled their anathemas against Gen.! Jackson in 1832-3. These are notable facts, well worth pondering, for if such conduct was disloyal then, what has occurred to make it democratic now ? There are many democrats in this and other counties who continue to act with that party who may be loth to be lieve that we have traitors in our midst, but as there is hut one step between disloyalty and treason, it becomes all such to examine the ground whereon they stand, and if found in evil com pany to cut loose from it. Of all the hollow pretexts now put forth by these allies or tools of the Southern traitors, the one most calculated to deceive is the cowardly cry of peace, got up at the very moment when the rebels are keeping up the last desperate effort in the hope that a patent democrat will be elected President. Be not deceiv ed by this copperhead cry. The rebels have but two armies of any strength left, both which are kept at bay—the one by Grant, the other by Sherman. One fourth of the new levies called for once in the field will march down the ! Shenandoah Valley, sweeping ali he fore them; a second fourth will rein ' force Grant and Sherman —and then j one more opportunity will be offered the rebels to lay down their arms and submit to the clemency of a govern \ ment which, in the language of their ■ Vice President, Mr. Stephens of' Geo rgia, NEVER WRONGED THEM, Or they will have to abide the result of a con flict in which oveipowering numbers i will sweep them into that extermina ! tirn which the perjured traitor at their head says he will have. Such a peace will be lasting—any other will but re sult in a future war. of even greater magnitude than the present, in which Pennsylvania will be the battle ground. The Chicago Nomination The political gamblers assembled at Chicago on Monday to nominate a can didate for President. The first speaker was Belmont, a foreign Jew and agent of the .Rothschilds, next bill bigler of this State, then Vallandigham, Long of Ohio, and other copperheads. The delegates comprise Cox of Ohio, Ben Wood of New York, and a general mixture of Buchanan thieves, traitors, rebels, tories, peace cowards, Ac., with about one honest democrat out of a hundred. And this gang of political prostitutes and traitors, is to make a democratic nomination. Gen. McCiei lan was nominated after the adoption of a peace platform which, if he endor ses alter his war speech at West Point, he ought to be spurned by every bon- } est man in the land. As soon as be j was nominated Mr. Harris of Maryland denounced him as a tyrant and read McCJellan's report of arrest of the ; Maryland Legislature. He. went on to say— One was nominated here to-day who is a tyrant. [Cheers and hisses.] He i it was who first instituted the policy ■ by which right and liberties werestrick- ! en down. That man is George B. Mc- Clellan. [Confusion.] Maryland, which has suffered so much at the hands of that man will not submit to his nomi nation in silence. His offences shall be made known. This convention is a jury appointed by the people to pass upon the merits of the public men whose names would be presented for the support of the great Democratic party. Gen. McClellan, I repeat, is a tyrant, and he stood here to indict him. [Great confusion.] WAR NEWS. OFFICIAL WAR BULLETIN. WASHINGTON, Aug 27, 10.20 a m. On Thursday, the 25th, Gen Hancock, | who was south of Iteaui's station, was at tacked several times during the day, but he repulsed the enemy at each assauit. -At 5£ o'clock, a. m., a combined attack was made on his centre and left, which, alter one of the mo9t desperate battles of j the war, resulted in the enemy with- ; drawing from the field, leaving their dead I and wounded on the ground. The details were given in the following | brief official reports of Gens. Graut, Meade and Hancock. The following has just been received j dated SECOND ARMY CORPS, Aug. 26 —For I Gen. Humphreys:—The attack "about 5.30 j p. nt. was probably intended to be simul laneously by Wilcox ou my centre and Heath on my left. The enemy formed in the woods, placed their artillery in position and opened a heavy cannonade, lastio" about fifteen minutes. They then assaulted Miles' force. lie resisted tenaciously, hut the enemy broke his line, borne of Gilpin's troops were hurried over to repair the damage, and the enemy only gained a slight foothold. They soon attempted on my extreme left, driving Gibbon's division from his line. His men had been much wearied going over to Gen. Miles and back during the repeated assaults. Gen. Gibbons succeeded in forming a strong line, and the enemy who were pres sing on with great enthusiasm were severe ly checked by the dismounted cavalry under Gen. Gregg, which he handled handsomely. Gen. Miles regained most of his intrench- j ments, distinguishing himself. All he had to work with were such small parties as could be rallied and formed by staff offi cers. i j Jhe fighting was continuous till dark, J the enemy being held in check by artillery dismounted cavalry and skirmishers. ' At dark we withdrew for reasons stated > The chief of artillery reports that he ! lost about 250 horses. The enemy made no advanco up to a < late hour last night, holding, as far as ( could be seen, some of our captured guns with their skirmish lines. They must have suffered heavily. This is acknowledged to have been one 5 of the most detern iced and desperate fights of the war, resembling Spottsylvania ' in character, though the number ; gives it iess importance A few more good > would have given us a victory of 1 considerable importance. 1 torward this forenoon, prisoners from the field. Wilcox and Heath and Major Angel, of my staff, saw and conversed with ' two prisoner- of Morgan's division last I do not find them this morning. They said that Mabon's division, with the . exception of one brigade, was there. MANSFIELD S. HANCOCK. Major General. U. S GRANT, Lt. General. | The following is just received: SECOND Coups, 12 80 p. m , Aug. 26. A safe guard that was left on the battle field remained there till after daylight this a m. At that time the enemy had ail disappeared, leaving their dead on the bat tle-field unburied. This shows how severely they were punished, and doubtless j bearing of the arrival of reinforcements f- FV feared the result today if they re mained. G G. MEADE, Maj. Gen. The following is just received: SECOND ARMY CORPS, 1 a. M.. Aug. J 26th. — jo L-f-ut G-n. Grant'. —Since sending my LAST dispatch, I have con versed WITH the safe guard referred to. He did not leave THE field till after sun rise. At that time nearly all the ene | my had left, moving towards Peters ! burg. lie says they abandoned not only their dead but their wounded also. He conversed with an officer who | said their losses were greater than ever before during the war. The safe j guard says he was over the field, and ! it was covered with the enemy's dead i and wounded. He has seen a great many battle fields, but never saw such a sight, j There were very few of our dead,! nearly all being of the enemy. I think I do riot overstate "the loss of the enemy in the last two weeks' bat ties at LU.OOO killed and wounded. We have lost heavily, but our loss has been mostly in captured when the enemy gained temporary advantages. The number oi rebel prisoners taken on our >ide has not yet been reported. All of our wounded are brought j off, but our dead are unburied. I have instructed Gregg to make an effort to send a party to the field to bury our dead. G. G MEADE, Maj. Gen. To U. S. GRANT, Lieut. Gen. Our forces hold the Weldon road, and in a dispatch dated at 8 p. m.,yes i terduy, Gen. Grant says that their loss of this road seems to be a blow to the ! enemy he cannot stand. Gen. Grant makes the following re • port of an unsuccessful attack by the ; enemy on Gen. Butler's picket line on Thursday: The enemy drove in | Butler's picket line. The picket guard soon rallied, however, and drove the enemy hack and re-established this line. The re-uit was one killed and sixteen wounded, and fourteen missing on our j side. Two commanding officers and fifty nine enlisted men were captured from the enemy. What their casualties j were in killed and wounded, we do not | know. EDWIN M. STANTON, See'y. of War. WASHINGTON, Aug. 28. j A dispatch from Gen. Grant just re i ceived, states that the .Richmond pa-j j pers of yesterday, 27th, announce that : Fort Morgan is in our possession, but i it is not staled whether it was blown i ; up or surrendered. i Another dispatch gives the following j extract from the Richmond Examiner ] OT yesterday: " Fort Alorynn is in the i j enemy 's possession, bat whether blown up or 1 ; evuruatet/ is not known." I Gen. Sheridan in a dispatch dated < ! yesterday at half past two o'clock p. i ; m., reports tie enemy left my front < last night, falling back on Sruithficld j t or Middleburg. ] ( We captured 101 prisoners yester- t day, and inflicted a loss of 150 killed ( and wounded. There have been a few c feints to cross the river by cavalry at t Williamsport, but there was no strength . I shown. > The indications to-day arc that they c will tall back out of the valley Other reports state that the enemy is leaving the Shenandoah valley. s Nothing has been received from c Gen. Sherman for two days. i ED WIN M.STANTON, t Sec'y. of War. 1 Confirmation of the Capture of Fort ' Morgan. € WASHINGTON, Aug. 20—1 p. m. The capture of Fort Morgan is fully confirmed by dispatches from Gener- j uls Grant and Sherman, who derive | their information from Richmond pa pers and Mobile papers. It appears from Gcri. Grant's dis patch to the President, just received, . that Fort Morgan was surrendered. CITY POINT, Aug. 29. To A. Lincoln, President of tie U. S. Since my dispatch of this morning, p I have received the Richmond Senti nel of the 27th. It contains the fol- j lowing dispatch from Mobile : r "The report of the surrender of Fort Morg an was most unexpected, and we () await an explanation of so unfortunate j. an occurrence." The press of Mobile is hopeful and confident of their ability to hold the , city. * c U. S. GRANT, J Lieutenant General, U. S. A. The latest from the Shenandoah Y alley represents that a large part of the rebel force there has been with drawn towards Richmond. 1 he latest reports from Gen. Sher man represent that thus tar his recent movements to occupy the rebel lines ot supply have been successful E. M. STANTON. Sec'y. of War. From Atlanta. G IM INN ATI, Aug. 26 ihe Gazette lias received a special dispatch from Atlanta, wh chsavs that Gen. Kilpa trick has destroyed the.Ma con railroad in two places, tearing up about fourteen miles of track, llcnlso captured and burned a train of supplies belonging to the rebels, on route to Atlanta. On his return he met the rebels in strong force and totally defeated them, capturing four stands of colors, six cannon and two hundred prisonrs. Afterwards he met another force of the rebels who pressed him so heavily that he was obliged to abandon all but two guns and most ot the prisoners. He made an entire circuit of Atlanta arid reached Decatur with 100 men. He inflicted severe damage on the rebel communications. From North Carolina. FORTRESS MONROE, Aug. 26. The following has been received: ROANOKE ISLAND, Aug. 24. —Relia ble information received here states that a rebel force, commanded by Maj. \Y hit ford and Captain Kris, went to Greenshorough, North Carolina, for conscripts lor the rebel army. The Union citizens mustered out to resist the conscription, and a severe fight ensued The rebels were driven from Greens borough and many of them killed and wounded. Captain Kris was killed, and Major YY hitford mortallv wounded. Extract of a letter from Dr. Hamilton. dated YV illiaras House Y a., Au gust 26. 1>64. YY'e have just returned this morning from Reams Station, where we (two divisions of the 2d Corps) had a verv severe fight with a superior force of the enemy. Skirmishing was kept ep ail morning with the cavalry of the opposing forces, and in the afternoon the rebs massed in a woods opposite the church and railroad station, and charged on our men several times,and finally got through a gap made by some new recruits retreating from the works. Our regiment fought most nubly, and upheld their heretofore good repu tation. The rebs were piled heaps upon heaps in our front. They came upon us in heavy force, having line after line which was opened by our grape and canister, but to lie filled up as they pressed on. They reached our breastworks and laid down out of reach of our bullets, only to rest and renew the conflict hand to hand. One of our bravest boys, Sergt. Fox, eo. G, receiv ed four bayonet wounds in the neck and face, while fighting the rebs as they rose on our works. \Y"e lost 11 brass twelve pounders after they had fired all their ammunition. Col. Beaver had just come to the front from a leave of absence on ac count of wounds, and had not yet ta ken command of our brigade, not hav ing had time. YY'hen a little back of the line, he was shot through the middle third of the right thigh by a musket ball. I saw* his thigh amputated at the upper third, being quite close to his body. He stood the pain before the operation like a hero, as he is. His chances to live are good as possible, for his habits always were of the most temperate, and his bodily condition is of the best kind. The regiment has lost its colonel, than whom no better can be found in the army. In the wilderness, at Spottsylvania, Po river, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, as well as at Chancellorsville and many other bat tles during his more than three years service, he has stood a tower of strength, giving hack bone to the gal lant 148 th for the past two y ars, as the}* both stood the shock of dead y conflict. Stars have graced the shoul ders of others far less worthy, while ! the government has overlooked this brave and competent officer by not re warding him with at least one star for j each shoulder. Ist Lieut. I). G. Rolston, Co. C, was shot through the head and killed in- j stantly. He was one of our best line officers, and belonged to an unfortu nate company that has lost two cap tains and four lieutenants since the 1 battle of Chaneellorville. He was not buried by us, having fallen into the en emy's hands. YVe lost five killed and nine wound ed, and seventeen missing. We de stroyed three miles of the railroad he low or south of Ream's station, and between the station and Warren's po sition. A. T. H. —Gold declined yesterday to 232a 233. —The shortest way to peace is the army now volunteering. —The owner of a tumbler contain ing some 2-40 whisky, found on the steps of a dwelling near the Tow I Hall the morning after the last ball, is requested to come forward, prove prop erty, pay charges, and take it away, jr it will bo confiscated according to law. —Bigler of Clearfield county in a recent speech declared he would not contribute a man, nor a farthing, to prosecute the war. The Biglers never were famous for contributing to any thing—except offices and their own pockets. EOUNTY ACT.
