The borough not only nobly held its
own, but gives Mr. Barker a larger
majority than any candidate has re
ceived for years.
The Chicago Platform majorities for
Congress are reported as follows : Me
Veytown 25. Bratton 1, (caused by a
railroad colony,) Oliver 42, Decatur 6,
Brown 30, Now Armagh 8, Menno 30.
Union majorities—Wayne and Newton
5, Old Armagh 41, Union 31. These
figures leave Johnson, for Congress,
who is ltiwcst on the Chicago ticket, a ;
majority on the home vole of about 34. I
A report from Blair gives the Union j
majority at oniy 450, which would ren
der Congress and Senator extremely
doubtful. At the time we go to press
we have nothing from Huntingdon or !
Juniata.
Philadelphia is reported at 5000 '
Union majority, Allegheny 7000, votes i
which indicate a close contest in the {
State.
Ohio and Indiana are reported Un- !
ion by a large majority.
THE PEACE MEETING —After a great
deal of exertion on the part of the sub- j
mision and peace on any terms party,
the patent democracy of Mifflin, Juni
ata, Centre and Huntingdon counties
assembled in Lewistown on Saturday !
last. The day was appropriately bleak
and stormy, with an occasional cold
shower, which dampened the ardor ;
of the majority considerably. Capt.
W hiskywas of course in attendance,and
played a conspicuous part in tbe pro
gramme. The procession as it was
termed comprised as motely a group as
could be scared up anywhere, its main
feature being women, babies, girls and
boj's, for it was clear to any one with
half an eye that not one-third were
voters. Among them were thirty-four
ladies dressed in McClellan mourning.
Among the incidents which created no
little merriment among Union-lookers i
on was the fact that a calf followed
the procession through Third street,
occasionally calling for its ma ! The
circus performance having been gone
through, the faithful, with a large \
number of Union men proceeded to
tho stand, but tbe latter with some of
the former, soon retired in disgust at i
hearing vile tirades against our gov
ernment, language calculated to pre
pare tho public mind for Disunion, and
the most infamous slanders which cop- j
perhead vemon could suggest. Joseph
W. Parker, a young man with brilliant
talents and a good mind, but whom
the demagogues of the party will not
suffer to remain in pursuit of a busi
ness in which lie might acquire both
honor and fame, agaiD forgetful that
on the breaking out of the war he had
demonstrated the rebels had. no cause
whatever for their rebellion, indulged in a ,
coarse and vindictive attack on the
government. lie was followed by
anotber Parker, from Mifflin town, who
proved conclusively that a full-blooded
northern copperhead, but for the lack j
of dourage, would be as bad as ten town
burning and murdering rebels. Botb
these speeches as well as one delivered
by Oilv Gammon, Esq., alias Beal, or
Dean, of Philadelphia, would have
been more applauded at Richmond
than they were here. One of these
fellows was badly taken down by a
soldier, who in answer to the question
who could show a gold dollar, said "I
can!" And again, when the speaker
with crocodile tears was deploring the
high price of coffee, he was told by
the same blue-coat, "Why don't you
come down to the army and get the
best for nothing!" Copperhead drop
ped coffee like a hot poker. In the
evening another meeting was held in
the Town Hall, where the Parkers
m
finished their abuse oi the government
of the United States! Thus ended
the "great" demonstration of Mifflin,
Juniata, Centre and Huntingdon coun
ties, which, with the hundred women
who came to town that day with their
children to draw their relief orders,
would have made a respectable county
meeting, but as a representation of
four counties, numbers of whom came
to see "Micclellan and Pelican," was
small potatoes, for it is a mooted ques
tion whether there were not as many
Union men in town that day as pa
tent democrats, including all shades of
peace at any price copperheads, dis
unionists, submissionists, tories, and
some honest democrats who have not
yet discovered that the patent democ
racy of the present day is to the let
ter the nullification doctrine of Gen.
Jackson's time.
B*%,Andrew Reed, Esq., addressed a
little audience at the Town Hall on
Thursday evening last, in which he
undertook to demonstrate that the
north could not subjugate the south.
Now we should like to know what Mr.
Reed and other speakers mean by such
language? Are they in favor of recogniz
ing the south? If so, where is to be
the division line? Will they yield
Maryland, and with it Washington
City, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ac.? Come,
gentlemen, if you are ready for disun
ion, speak out and let the people know
it. This is not a mere political cam
paign, but the life of a nation, our fu
ture welfare and those after us, are at
stake.

Official Despatches.
WASAINGTON, Oct. 7 —1140 a. m.
In a recent dispatch if was mentioned
that Gen Sherman was taking measures to
protect his communications from the rebel
forces operating against them. Dispatches
received last night show the fulfillment of
the expectation.
Maj. Gen. George 11. Thomas was sent
to Nashville to organize the truops in his
district, and drive Forrest froui our lines,
while the attention of Gen. Sherman was
directed to the movements of the main
rebel army in the vicinity ot Atlanta.
On the 4th of October the rebels had
captured Big Shanty, but were followed up
closely by Sherman.
On the 6th a severe engagement was
fought by our forces under Gen Jno. E.
Smith and the rebel forces under General
lorrest, in which the rebels were driven
from the field with heavy loss, leaving their
dead and wounded in our hands.
The details are given in the following
dispatch from Gen Thomas :
NASHVILLE, Oct. 6—11.30 p. m.
Hon. E. M Stanton, Sec'y. of \V<ir:
1 he following telegram is just received
from Chattanooga: Gen. Smith, who left
that place yesterday, fifth October, tele
graphs that the enemy retreated last even
ing from Alatoona, moving in the direction
of Dallas, leaving from four to six hundred
wounded in our hands. Our loss is abuut
100 killed and 200 wounded. The railroad
bridge near Ilmggold was washed away
yesterday. S. B. MOORE,
Asst. Adjt. Gen.
The Resaca bridge will be repaired by
to morrow and the trains will be able to
run as far as Alatoona, going via Cleveland
and Dalton.
Nothing further has been heard from
Sherman since my dispatch of yesterday,
but the retreat of the enemy towards Dal
las incicates he was close upon the rear at
Alatoona.
have not heard from Gen. Rousseau or
Washburne to day, but presume they are
pushing Forrest as rapidly as the condition
of the roads will admit. .
M e have had heavy and continuous rains
for the last five days, rendering the roads
and streams impassable.
I have just received the following dis
paten from Gen. Granger, dated
HUNTSVILLE, Oct. 6—lo p. ra —The
courier reported wounded in crossing Elk
river is in. He lost the dispatches while
crossing tbo river. He reDorts that two
rebels were captured yesterday, who say
that they left Forrest at Lawrencebur" the
night before crossing south.
Gen. Morgan s advance was skirmishing
with the enemy this a. m. on Span's creek,
he being unable to cross the creek on ac
count of high water. He hopes to be able
to cross by to morrow morning, when he
will push them still further on
The Alabama railroad will be repaired
from here to Pulaski in one week.
GEORGE H. THOMAS,
Major General.
Another and unofficial dispatch reports
as follows: Telegraph repaired to Alatoo
na to-day. The action yesterday was se
vere, French attacking with his division,
7,000 strong, and suffering heavily, leaving
his killed and wounded in our hands to
the number of 1000, while we lost only
3000. 1 lie fight lasted sis hours altogether
From Florence we hear that Morgan has
Forrest cornered has captured his t;ans
portation, and tint the gunboats prevent
ail retreat across the icnucssee.
Satisfactory rep rts of the operations in
progress before Richmond and Petersburg
have been received, but their details are
not at present proper for publication.
A dispatch from Gen Stevenson reports
an officer of Gen. She idan's staff just ar
rived. Gen. SlTeridan was still at Harris
sonsburg 11i3 supply trains were going
on all right, occasionally interrupted by
guerilla parties, tiie only force on the road
I his officer brought in the remains of Lt.
John It. Meigs, of the Engineer Corps,
and only son of brevet Maj Gen. Meigs,
Quartermaster General, who was killed by
bushwhackers on Monday last, while making
a military survey.
In the death of that gallant officer the
department has occasion to deplore no or
dinany loss. Last year he graduated ai,
the military academy at West Point with
the highest honors at the head of his class,
was commissioned as a Lieut, of engineers,
and was immediately sent into the field.
He performed meritorious and dangerous
services during the last year on the fortifi
cations at Baltimore, at Harper's Ferry and
at Cumberland, and was make chief engirt
eer in the army of the Shenandoah. In
the campaigns he accompanied the army
under Sigel, Hunter and Sheridau iu every
position.
lie gave proof of great professional skill,
personal courage and developed patriotism.
One of the youngest and brightest orna
merits of the military profession, he has
fallen an early victim to murderous rebel
warfare.
Gen. Rosecrans reports that Gen Ewing
made good his retreat to Rolla, losing only
a few stragglers, a"d the killed and wound
ed by the way were very few.
From the number of the wounded rebels,
the enemy's loss will not fall much short
of a thousand hors du com but.
EDWIN M. STANTON.
Sec'y of War.
Reports have been received by the War
Department, from Generals Butler, Slier
man, Thomas, Sheridan and Burbridge,
showing the favorable condition of milita
ry affairs in heir respective fields ot oper
ation
General Rousseau reports that Forrest
has escaped him by crossing the Tennessee
in flat boats, above and below Florence, on
the 6th inst, while he {Rousseau) was de
tained by high water in Shoal creek aud
Elk river.
WASHINGTON, Oct B—l2 o'clock m
This Department has received the fol
lowing reports of the enemy's assault yes
terday upon Geo. Butler's line, their
subsequent repulse, and Gen. Birney's
brilliant action, driving the enSoiy to their
inner iine of intrenebments around Rich
mond.
At 6.40 p m , the enemy, having moved
Fields' and Hoke's divisions from the left,
at Chapin's Farm, around to ouj right, at
Darby town road, attacked with spirit Gen
Kautz's cavalry in the intrenchments, and
drove him back, w'th small loss of men,
but with the loss of his artillery.
The enemy suffered very considerable
loss in this attack.
The enemy then swept down the in
trenchments towards Birnev, who, having
thrown back his right, waited their assault
and repulsed it with a heavy loss on the
part of the enemy.
The enemy, in the meantime, advanced
toward Newmarket, hut they were met by
a force at the signal tower at 3 p. m
I took the offensive, sending Birney
with two divisions up the Darbytown road.
The enemy has retreated as he advanced,
and Birney has reached and occupied the
entrenchments which the enemy took from
Kautz, and were fortifying for themselves.
A later dispatch says, Gen. Berry has
regained Gen. Kautz's old position, and
holds the . enemy in the inner line of in
trenchments around Richmond, extending
from Darbytown road to connect with
Weitzel on the left near Fort Hamilton.
There has been no movement at Peters
burg to day. We have secured the best of
this day's work A thousand at least of
the enemy killed and wounded, a hundred
prisoners, and a bloody repulse.
WOODSTOCK, Va., Oct. 9,9 p. m.
To Lieut Gen. U S Grant:
I have the honor to report my command
at this point. To-night I cotumened mov
ing hack from Port Republic, and met
Crawford at Rridgewater and Harrisonburg
yesterday morning.
The grain in front of this point ha 3 pre
viously been destroyed in urmng back to
this point. The whole country, from the
Blue Ridge to the North Mountain, has
been made untenable for a rebel army
I have destroyed over two thousand barns
filled with wheat, hay and farming imple
raents, over seventy mills filled with flour
and wheat, have driven in lront of the
army over 400 head of stock, and have
killed and issued to the troops not less than
300 sheep.
This destruction embraces the Luray
Valley and Little Foot Valley, as well as
the main valley.
A large number of horses have been ob
tained, a proper estimate of which I can
not make
Lieut. John R. Meigs, my engineer offi
cer, was murdered bej-ond Harrisonburg,
near Dayton. For this atrocity all the
hocses within an area of 5 miles were burned.
Since I came into tbe valley, from Harper's
Ferry up to Harrisonsburg, every train,
every small party lias been hushwhacked
by the people, many of whom have pro
tection papers frpm commanders who have
been hitherto in that valley.
The people here are getting sick of the
war Heretofore they have been living in
great abundance.
1 have not been followed by the enemy
up to this point, with the exception ola
small force of rebel cavalry, that showed
themselves some distance tehiud uiy rear
guard to day.
A party of the Bth Ohio cavalry which
I had stationed at the bridge ( ver the
mouth of the near Mt. Jack
son, was attacked hv Gen. McNeil wiih
liU uen while they were asleep, and the
whole party dispersed or captured. 1
think that they will soon turn up.
I learn that fifty of theui reached Win
chester. McNeil was mortally wounded
and tell into our hands This was fortu
nate. as he was the most daring and dan
gerous of ail the buskwhackers in this
section of the country.
P. 11 SHERIDAN,
Major General.
STRASBURO, Va., Oct. 9.
In coining back to this point, 1 was
not followed up until yesterday, when
a large force of cavalry appeared in
my rear. I then halted my command
to otter battle, by attacking the enetnv.
I became satisfied that it was only all
the rebel cavalry of the Valley, com
manded by Roper, and directed Tor
bert to attack at daylight this morn
ing. and finish this saviour ot the
Valley.
I he attack was handsomely made.
Gen. Custer, commanding the 3d cav
alry division, charged on the back
road, and Merritt, commanding the
Ist cavalry division, on the Strasburg
pike. Merriit captured five guns, and
Custer captured six guns, with their
Caissons, battery forge, &c. The two
divisions captured 47 wagons, atiibu
lances, &c. Among th wagons cap
tured are the headquarters wagons of
Roper, Lotuax, Wickham, and Colonel
Holland.
Ihe number of prisoners will be
about .>3O. The enemy, after being
charged by our gallant cavalry, were
broken and ran. They were followed
by our men. on the jump, twenty-six
miles, through Mount Jackson "and
across the north fork of the Shenan
doah. 1 deemed it best to make this
delay ot one day here and settle this
new cavalry general. The eleven
pieces of artillery captured to-day
make thirty-six pieces captured in the
Shenandoah Valley since the 19th of
September. Some of the artillery was
new, and never had been fired/ The
pieces were marked "Tredegar Works."
P. H. SHERIDAN,
Major General.
