'"Hard Times " There arc many people who listen to this copperhead cry, and although they live well and have more money than they ever had before, fall into it arid also cry "hard times." Now is there an}' reason for it ? Not a parti cle, tor it is an undeniable fact that at tho present day numbers of poor men and women who three or four years ago had not a second stitch of clothing to their backs, and were living from hand to mouth every day, are now not only well dressed, have more money ! in their pockets than they ever had before, and many acquired small prop- I ertics as homes which a lifetime of la- i bor under Pierce or Buchanan times ! would not have procured. Thre are also a less number of really poor peo- i pie than ever. There is not a girl over j fourteen years of age, unless too lazy I or too proud to work, who cannot 1 readily earn a dollar a week besides boarding; and every boy from twelve years up can readily procure employ ment at higher wages than were form erly paid to grown men. And so too with laboring men; labor seeks them ; at heretofore unheard of prices. Ihe truth is copperhead speculators tried to make hard tirres for the peo ple, hut failed, and with their failure coffee, sugar, molasses, and dry goods of every description, have already fal len from •'>(.) to 40 per coot., and with a vigorous prosecution of tho war will gradually find their level, while indus trial pursuits wili flourish and wages he good. But put the Chicago .plat form and its nominees into power, set tle gloom upon our gallant soldiers in ■ the field by a cowardly cessation of [ hostilities at the moment when tho ! rebels are in their last strait, let confi dence he lost in our Union, as in such case it assuredly will, and, mark our prediction, you will have HARD TIMES J in cat nest, for prices will he as high or higher than they are now, labor scarce and money stid more so. Working I man, ponder on these things before you lend yourself to putting into pow- I er, fur (he sake (J f change, the fag ends of all parties who have set themselves j up as leaders of a party which they call ! democratic, hut which does not retain ' e\ en the shadow of those principles ! ad\ oca ted by Gon. Jackson, Benton, and other great men of their day, but precisely the principles of John C.Cal houn, whom, with his latest breath Old Hickory regretted he had not hung. A deserter in the hands of the 1 Provost Guard on board the Philadel- j phia express going west, jumped from I the train about half a mile below New- j ton Hamilton on Saturday last.

McCiellau and his Adjutant General, show that on the 30th of April, 1802. the forces on the Peninsula under Gen. MeClellan amounted to 112,392 ; present for duty. The returns of Gen. MeClellan to the | Adjutant General's office give the following ! as the strength of the army of the Penin aula on the 20th of June : Present for du ty, 115,102 ; special duty, sick and in ar rest. 12,225; ABSENT, 29,511— t0ta1, 156,835. On the 20th of July, 1862, according to the seturns sent to the Adjutant General's office hy Gen. .Meridian, the Army of tiie Potomac, under his command, was as fol | lows: Present for duty, 101,691; special dutv, sick and in arrest. 17,828 ; ABSfclN 1\ 38,795—t0ta1, 158,314. This included ! the corps of Gen. Dix, amounting to 9,997 ! present for duty, or in all 11.778 men. The figures given above were fur nished by Gen. MeClellan, and are on record at Washington. At the very time he returned net ABSENT, at one time over 29,000 and at another over 38,000 men, he was daily appealing to the President for more troops ! Now where was this army of absentees ? The records do not show them as killed, wounded, prisoners, sick, disabled, or on special duty. Where then were they Whoever at that time came to a city, town or village, or traveled, could readily answer, for on sidewalks, in the streets, in taverns, saloons, and other places worse than that, men and j officers could be seen from one to a | down in number! We doubt whether the record of any other general who j ever had command of an army would j show such an utter want of manage- j inent as this in an active campaign j Think of it, reader; more than 38,000 j men absent —more men than Sheridan had to drive back Early—and yet the General who had control of their ac tions was continually calling for more troops, more troops ! "Prayers of the Righteous." The following paragraph was pub lished a short time ago with the above heading by a number of McCiellan and Pendleton papers in this State, copied from the Jeffersonian, a full blooded democratic sheet, occasionally quoted by the Lewistown IK mocrat as such. Its aim, its language, and general tone cannot fail to strike every reader as a slur at all professing Christians, and so nearly bordering on infidelity that hut a hair divides it. It was by such scurrility and specious arguments that the French people were gradually lin ed from Religion into a worship of "Reason," under which blood was shed without remorse. llow long will it be before under such teachings those who have heretofore been looked upon and regarded as conservators of the Chris tian Religion, will be derided, and with them the religion they profess? And it is also worthy of note that all those who arc most violent in their denun ciations ot ministers, are the greatest b raw lei s for free speech, for MeClellan and for Pendleton! Why is this so? Let christian men, who are truly HO, after reading •'democratic" denuncia tion ot prayers, ministers, and the war. answer for themselves. Ihe religious portion of the community were devoutly exercised during lust week, in prayer meetings and special benefit of Abe Lincoln. We have noticed that all these prayer meetings and special days ot "humiliation, fasting and prayer," have preceded federal loss or defeat. The last, both prayers and raid terminated in a com plete Confederate success; Abe driven away from Washington, a part of Grant's army lemoved from Petersburg, and now Con federate advantages gained there, and the most successful raid of plunder at Martins burg, and up to within three or four miles all around \\ ashington, that could be iui agined. Nevertheless there has been a sensible change in the tone of the prayers The officiating brethren have ceased to tell the Lord what he ought to do, and be gin now to pray as christians, and to pro fess a desire to have their own sins forgiven. A remarkable change this from neglecting their own to spy out the sins of their neighbors; and from acting on the devil's policy in fanning the flames of hatred, vindioitiveness, robbery, arson and murder! teueh haye been the prayers ot righteous fanatical war preachers, everywhere, here tofore, and they have been answered The splendid armies of the North, men of cour age, energy, pirseverance and enterprise have wilted and scarce an officer has ob tained the meed of praise, before if has been wrenched from him by sad defeat, while hundreds and thousands have fallen rv!>ie disgrace This is an kMnGHTEOLb WAR, wa-ed for an UNRIGHTEOUS PURPOSE, and God has nothing to do with it, except to answer the 100 l according to his folly. Old Abe has appointed another day for extra humil lation, and we may expect it 'God an swers the prayers of the righteous.'—./,/: jer soman. J Chief* justice Taney died at Wash ington on the 22d inst. at his residence at the age of eighty-seven. He had been in ill health for several years, but the predominant cause of his death was chronic disease of the bowels. The Electoral Vote. 11 The number of electoral votes to be east next fall, including that of West | Virginia, and omitting, as per vote of i Congress, those of the seceded States I which are said to have been restored to ! the Union, is 231. They are appor tioned as follows: ! California 5 Minnesota 4 j Connecticut 0 Missouri 11 I Delaware 3 New Hampshire 5 j Illinois IS New Jersey 7 Indiana 13 New York 33 ; lowa S Ohio gl j Kansas 3 Oregon ;j j Kentucky 11 Pennsylvania 26 j Maine 7 Rhode Island 4 ' Maryland 7 Vermont 6 i Massachusetts 13 West Virginia 5 J Michigan 8 Wisconsin 8 Total number of votes 231 Number required for election fig There are probably suuie greenhorns who may imagine that the double faced ! ticket ot the Chicago platform stands some 1 chance ot an eleeti< n. To show these how gullible they are, we sul join a list of the States which will vote for" Lincolu and Johnson without question, to wit: Connecticut 6 Minnesota 4 Indiana 13 New Hampshire 5 lowa 8 Ohio 21 Kansas 3 Rhode Island 4 Maine 7 Vermont 5 Maryland 7 West Virginia 5 Massachusetts 13 Wisconsin 8 Michigan 8 Total 116 which elects Lincoln and Johnson without I the vote of California, Delaware, Illinois, I Missouri, Oregon, New York, New Jer sey, Kentucky, or Pennsylvania, three fourths of which States will most certainly vote for them. There are the figures, and we defy any copperhead, peace at any price I man, or patent democrat, to point out a sin gle State in the above list in which the cessation of hostilities candidates have the | slightest chance of success. It can't be done, and the sooner they submit to the will of the majority , which is DEMOCRACY, i the better for them. k" We are apt to be free with our jokes upon Doe tors and their drugs, until sick and in need of (heir aid, then all alike bow to the necessity of recourse to their hard-earned and often ill-requited skill. The prevailing belief that physicians frown upon whatever deviates from their peculiar system and usages.arises from the fact that their hettet"information leads them soonest to detect and discard the medical delusions and impositions that are thrust upon the community. That they arc ready and prompt to adopt any really valuable invention is seen by the treatment Dr. J. C. Ayer's Chemical Remedies 'have received at their hands. They appreciate the value of these medicines because they know their composition, and where is the man who ever heard a respectable physician ei ther disparage them or discourage their use ? No pro fession 01 pursuit has done more for the human fam ily than the medical profession. None is followed by nobler men or for nobler ends; nor is there one which better deserves the best thanks of mankind.— Canton (N. Y.) Democrat. For the Gazette. Gentle Reader ; —Actuated by a stern sense of duty, without desiring to trespass upon your patience, your attention will be directed to a piece published in the True Democrat on the 12th iiist.. entitled the •• Aboli tion Meeting at Milroy," written by - a Citizen of Ar magh." In tiie first place the writer seems to have forgotten to inform his readers that he was a resident of Milroy and was among the number who sat with their "eyes and ears open to take the argument," while he, cop perhead like, after mature deliberation, came to the conclusion 10 make his low. mean, cowardly and per sona! attack, by pouring out his vials of wrath through the press on the head of Lieut. MoGiuley, one of Un • cle Sum's boys who was at home on a short furlough < and addressed the "pure radicals" on Friday evening, .Se|>t. ttotli, but lias since returned to the army. I Aud then, too. such was the unparalleled stupidity j and greenness of the •• Citizen of Armagh," that he won | dered why the Lieut, "was not in front in these days ; when soldiers are being hurried to the scenes of war." These pills of advice, emanating from one who, by | failing to report lost his prestige, are from a bad source. His heart is as treacherous as he who re ceived the thirty pieces of silver. They have the rattle with tiiem of a deserter —a nauseating effect on the public mind. In liis communication, without prudence or discre tion. he rushes madly into extremes and renders him self obnoxious to all liberal minded people. The Lieut, has the sympathy of a loyal people. They may " pliancy his pheelinks." No doubt hi- will shiver like a little "boy 111 st going to tic dipped in a tub of cold water, when hi- eyes arc led to behold the production of this wonderful prodigy of nature. Could your humble servant have consulted his own inclinations, he would have passed this illustrious au thor's production by as idle wind, .believingas he does that silence and contempt are the only vengeance a person should take 011 the "Citizen of Armagh. 7 ' the ambiguous adviser, who has waxed mighty in intellect and advises the Lieut.'• against making any further demonstrations in this direction:" lest he may be pro voked to anger, believing that vengeance is" his, and that unless the Lieut, retires from his presence for ever, he will be forced to cry with a loud voice, Abra ham! ABRAHAM!! ABRAHA.MII! is not all this uncon stitutional t And now, dear reader, I have done with this consti tutional-loving "Citizen of Armagh," who. big with tho importance of his own technical acquirements and burning with a desire of his awful profundity in poli tics. has Hung to the breezes of popular favor his article on the "Abolition Meeting at Milroy." How much of this popular favor he lias gained by his characteristic modesty is left for the reader to judge. 'ON'B WHO KEEPS Ills EYES OPEN. For tke Gazette. MII.ROT, Oct. 15th, 1864. Messrs. Eelitors: —Our little town was throw n into a great excitement on Tuesday v llth inst. The Cops gathered their force at our C. hotel, ready for any emergency. The correspondent of that vile copper head sheet., (the lying Democrat.) was the leader. The first free fight was made with two crippled soldiers, one with only one limb, (having lost the other at Fredericksburg.) and the "brave little Captain," who could only walk by the aid of bis cane. One copper head began on the former; the latter came up at the same time and tried to get Cop off" of soldier, when Cop turned on the Capt., and he got as sound a whip ping by the aid of Capt's cane as any man would wish. The Cops seeing their best man whipped, they all fetched in. but our worthy magistrate came up at "this tteky moment and dispersed tho crowd. The Cops then went skulking up "goose alley" to hold a private meeting in their lodge with "George." They dare not hold a public meeting, but once a week make tracks for "goose alley," via ."alt Lake. A remark was made the other day by a copperhead girl, (which shows that the women also have this vile spirit in them.) that she "thanked God her brother was a prisoner in Petersburg, for Old Abe would get one less vote." Comments on such teachings are un necessary. We expect a " free pitch in" at our next election, so i dease send us all the crippled soldiers you can find in .ewistown. for the Cops will not attack sound men or men who are able to settle them. If you <-an find leu or twelve soldiers with one arm or only one teg.please forward us a fresh supply, for a good soldier with only one arm is enough for any Cop. TRUE BLUE. For the Gazette. X having come in for a share of vituperation at the hands of an extinguished young man sometimes called Harry Frvsinger, who suffers no opportunity to pass to make a fling'at John A. McKee, D. W- Woods, L. J. Elberty, and others, perhaps a few questions to said Harry may not be ont of place. Did he not lately, 111 a conversation, say, " Well, one thing is certain, we (the patent democrats) will get the ignorant at any rate 1" or words to that effect? Did he not a month or two ago say "that the in- the South ought to be acknowledged, and that when that was done Pennsylvania's place is witli them." or words to that effect? Xow, Mr. Harry, don't fly into a passion and call me dastard, coward, libeller. &c., or I may meet you with a witness who will nail these things down, but answer yes, or no. How does the democracy like the asser tion of tlqjir editor that the "ignorant" are with them i —was it a hitat the Dutch?—and how do Union dem- ■ ocrats like the idea of recognizing the gouth and Pennsylvania becoming anigger State, in which slaves j are to take the place of white men in our furnaces, | forges, ore banks, nulls, axe factories, workshops, | farms, Ac., white poor white men, If*they apply lor work, will be told "to go to hell." a favorite phrase i among the chivalry, or else " I have just bought a nig- j ger who is an exce'llent workman!" What delightful ! times laboring men will have under this new demo- | cratic idea—so WORK to do; playday all the time; but < unfortunately no money, no property, and nothing to eat I Yes, the ignorunt are with you, but beware that I the ignorant do not find out that they can more easily j . destroy than build up. X. j THE ELECTION. 3oth parties are endeavoring to figure out a majority on what they call the home vote. There is no such thing —the soldier vote is as ranch a home vote as anj r other, and that the Union men have carried the State by a large ; majority—probably 10,000—there Is no doubt whatever. \\ e regard Penn sylvania as perfectly safe for Lincoln ; and Johnson by trom 20,000 to 30,000, as thousands of Union votes will be polled in November which were not out last week. As an index of our success, wo have gained four members ot Congress in this State, have 17 out ot 19 in Ohio, and gain 4 in Indiana. The Senate of this State is certainly j I nion by five majority, and the House will probably stand GO Union to 37 cops. The Union majority in Indiana is over 20,000, and in Ohio will exceed 50,000 1 OFFICIAL RETURNS 0/ the General Election held in Mifflin County, October 11, 1864, Congress, T . . ~ , Barker* Johnston Levristovrn, East Ward. 151 9;{ Lewistown, West Ward, 124 90 Perry township, 131 j 44 Granville, " 107 I"5 Oliver. 63 105 McVeytown borough, 49 74 Bratton township, 71 72 Wayne, 101 119 N.
