A dwelling with a lot on which is

fered at private sale.
\Y r e publish on our outside two
important articles which we commend
to the attention of our readers. The
lirst is a refutation of a tory slander
got up against Mr. Lincoln that he was
drawing his salary in gold. The state
ments of the officers of government
show that so far from doing this he
has managed to live in the White
House for nearly a year without draw
ing his salary at all, and that where
all others are drawing gold interest he
alone takes his in paper! Yet this
honorable and patriotic man,' who
stakes his all for the benefit of his
country, is maligned and villified as a
buffoon, a tyrant, and other choice to
ry epithets by a set of scavengers,
some of whom have perjured them
selves to cheat the government out of
a few dollars income tax.
The other is an exposition of an
"Order" under various names, a branch
of which it is well known exists in
this county. We have in our posses
sion copies of the oaths, &e., captured
. by the authorities in Indiana, from
which it appears that the members are
first sworn as supporters of State
Eights—the Nullification Doctrine of
1833 as taught by Calhoun and other
Southern traitors; but as they advance
in degrees they are sworn on in treason
until they solemn iy obligate themselves
to obey the commands of the leaders
" without remonstrance or question !" As
Yallandigham, tho Ohio traitor, is, or
lately was, the head of the concern, all
honest men who have been unwittingly
led into the meshes of this conspiracy,
ought to withdraw at once, for they
may rest assured the time is not dis
tant when the ringleaders will be called
to account.
Peace Pendleton.
I endleton is at last out in a short
letter, which concludes with the fol
lowing paragraph:
. * a . ra * avor °f exacting no conditions,
insisting upon no terms, not prescribed in
the Constitution; and I am opposed to any
course of policy which will defeat the es
tablishment of the Government upon its
old foundation and in its territorial integrity.
Now if there is a man living who
can mirko anything out of this letter,
he must be something more than hu
man, urn ess it is taken for granted
Pendleton and Buchanan agree upon
the construction put upon the Consti
tution, which it will be remembered
was that the latter could find nothing
in that instrument authorizing him to
put down a rebellion, or in other words
to coerce a State!
—Every property holder, every land
holder, every owner of a greenback
the best money we have ever had, for
it passes everywhere—every labor ng
man who wants steady employment
and good pay, is interested in re-elect
ing President Lincoln, for who can tell
what a peace administration would do,
il the people were so loolish as elect
one. Remember what one of the dem
ocratic speakers said at Chicago, name
ly, that our government bonds would
become worthless, and remember what
coppdtheads in all quarters say of
greenbacks, that like continental mon
ey, they will be worth nothing. Will
you vote with or for such men ?
The Official Returns.
As near as we can make out the offi
cial returns, they stand as follows:
Union vote, 39,8(57
Soldier vole, as far as rcc'd, 14,391
51,258
Dem. and Cop. vote, 40,020
Soldier" vote, 4,114
44,134
Union majority, 10,124
Another calculation makes but 6
patent democratic majority, which if
correct could be reduced to 1 in this
county by deducting 4 pauper votes in
JDerry and 1 rebel vote in Brown.
This majority will be increased a few
thousands. All that the Union men
have now to do, is to go to the polls on
the Bth of .November, and see that the
hundreds who staid at homo at the last
election also turn out. Give the Re
bellion a crushing blow by such major
ity as Ohio gives, and yon not only
give our soldiers easy work hereafter,
but with the rebellion put down cop
perheadisni at homo.
Gives it Up.
The New York Herald, a McClellan
paper, shows that the party which car
ried two of the three States of Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Indiana, in Octo
ber, have in every case carried the
Presidential election in the following
month, from 1840 down to and includ
ing 1800. The Union party have now
carried the three States and therefore
the Herald says: "The conclusion in
evitably follows that the real result of
the State election of Pennsylvania, j
Ohio and Indiana, of Tuesday last,
have determined the Presidential eon
test of 1864."
In regard to the result in Pennsyl
vania the New York News, (Ben,
Wood's paper,) of Friday says: "In
Pennsylvania both parties claim a vic
tory on the home vote, and each set
down the figures at from three thous
and to fivo thousand. The contest is
so close as to give an appearance of
plausibility to the claim of each. The
soldiers' vote will elect the Republican
State ticket over any majority that can
be figured up against it."
The soldiers' vote this year was last
year, to a large extent, the home vote.
It is just as good now as it was then,
and it will count the same in Novem
ber as it diil in October What folly,
then, for Democratic papers to bo
claiming Pennsylvania, or be deluding
their followers by pretending to believe
that McClellan can by any possibility
carry this State in November! They
know better.
Maj, Gen. Daniel E Sickles
This gallant officer, lately the leader
of the New York democracy, and
whom some copperhead papors publish
as a supporter of McClellan, made a
short address at Philadelphia the oth
er day, an extract from which we com
mend to honest democrats of this coun
ty. He said :
I have not felt that it was altogether ap
propriate for one in the military service to
be conspicuous as a partisan, but I do not
like to lose any opportunity to give what
encouragement L can, by counsel, presence,
and association, to those who are perform
ing the most important duty that has ever
devolved upon a people who had liberty to
uphold, the duty which will be accomplished
at the coming Presidential election. The
nation is on trial before mankind and his
tory. It is now, if ever, to prove to the
world whether a people are capable of self
government. We must rise superior to the
temptations to a miserable peace which
taxes, the expenditures of the war, and
personal sacrifices bold out, if we would save
the Republic. My faith is as yet unshaken
in the people. 1 know it is astounding to
see thousands and tens of thousands of men
in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana rrrayed
against what we know to be right, and it : s
calculated to discourage and the
confidence of the friends of free institutions.
How is it possible that so many can be for
submission, when resistance is a duty which
God has implanted in our nature? It is
amazing to find men craven and wretched
enough to propose submisfion to our inso
lent foes, and more amazing still, to find
them trying to do this iu the name of the
Democratic party. When I meet my old
comrades of that party I am unable to dis
cover any truth we ever cherished that I
do not cherish to day., and, for one, I am
certain that i( Jackson, Douglas, and Jef
ferson, and such men, who have led the
Democracy, were with us to-day, every one
of them would denounce the Chicago plat
form, and every one would maintain the
ON P'atform. You may fancy that it
requires some pluck to look shell and bul
lets in the face on the battle field You
can get used to them. But it requires
greater courage for a man who has been
many years closely identified with a politi
cal organization to cut loose from it and
lace the thousand-tongued monster of slan
der and denunciation for the sake of the
right.
The two districts in "Ohio repre
sented by Pendleton and Long gave
6000 Union majority at the last elec
tion—a gain ot" 7258 votes.
Speech of the President on Free Xary
land.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19, 1864.—To-night
, the President was serenaded, and appear
ing at an upper window, spoke as follows,
being frequently interrupted by applause :
"1 am notified that this is a compliment
paid uio by loyal Marylanders, resident in
this District. I infer that the adoption of
i the new Constitution for the State furnishes
the occasion, and that in your view the
extirpation of slavery constitutes the chief
merit of the new Constitution. Most
heartily do I congratulate you and Mary
land, and the nation, and the world, upon
the event. I regret that it did not occur
! two years sooner, which, I am suie, would
j have saved to the nition more money than
i would have met all the private loss incident
; to the measure; but it has come at last, and
I sincerely hope its opponents may, by its
| effects, be agreeably and profitably disap
! pointed.
A word upon another subject: Some
thing said by the Secretary of State, in
h;s reeent speech at Auburn, bas been con
j strued by some iito a threat that, if I shall
be beaten at the election, I will, between
then and the end of my constitutional term,
l do what I may be able to ruin the Govern
ment. Others regard the fact that the
Chicago Convention adjourned not sine die,
but to meet agaiu if called to do so by a
particular individual, as the ultimatum of
a purpose that if the nominee shall be
i elected, he will at once seize control of the
Government. I hope the good people will
I permit themselves to suffer no uueasiness
ion either point. lam struggling to inain
| tain the Government, not to overthrow it.
j I, therefore, say that if I shall live, I shall
remain President until the 4tb of next
March. And whoever shall be constitu
tionally elected, therefore, in November,
j shall be duly iustalled as President on the
: 4th of March, and that, in the interval, I
| shall do my utmost, that whoever is to hold
j the helm for the next voyage shall start
with the best, possible chance to save the
ship. This is due to the people, both on
principle am! under the Constitution.
Their will, constitutionally expressed, is
the ultimate law for all. If they should
i deliberately resolve to have immediate
peace, even at the loss of their couutry and
| their liberties, I know not the power or the
i right to resist theiu. It is their own busi
ness, and they must do as they please with
i their own. I believe, however, they are
! all resolved to preserve their country and
j their liberty; and In this, in office or out ol
| it, lam resolved to stand by them. I may
add, that in this purpose—to save the
j country nnd its liberties—no class of peo
ple seem eo nearly unanimous as the sol
! dicrs in the field and the seamen afloat,
i Do they not have the hardest of it?
Wjjo should quail when they do not? God
j bless the soldiers and seamen, and all their
j brave commanders.
—The President has appointed the
last Thusday in November as a day of
thanksgiving.
—A rebel regiment of prisoners
which passed Marysviile yesterday,
cheered for MeClellan!
—The copperheads figure out a ma
jority in this State by picking out the
highest majorities on what is called the
home vote.
—ln Connecticut the copperheads
are trying to explain away MeClellan's
arbitrary arrests on the ground that
he was then young, whether in years or
copperheadism we do not know.
—Bill Biglcr, cop. candidate for Con
gress in the Erie district, had on!v 12
more votes in Erie county than Dan
Rice, the circus clown, whom the cop
perheads ran for Senator.
—A paroled soldier has made oath
that the rebels made him the offer to
set him at liberty, it he would vote for
MeClellan! His name is Franklin
Seluvenk, Co. 11, 13th Pa. Cavalry:
—We have several soldier letters on
hand, but the inability of both senior
and junior to attend to business per
taining to the ottice, prevents us from
making selections or revising them for
publication.
—A gang of rebels from Canada at
tacked St. Albans, a town in .Vermont,
last week, killed some eitizens. and
robbed the banks of 3223,000. Sever
al of the cutthroats were afterwards
arrested and a part of the money re
covered. The British government may
yet find it necessary to expel the rebel
scoundrels from its dominions, or get
embroiled in a war, for the Northern
frontiers will not brook such conduct
much longer.
—The copperheads have lately been
trying to make some capital by assert
ing that the President had offered to
re-instate MeClellan if he would not ac
cept the Chicago nomination. This
falsehood has called out F. P. Blair,
always a warm friend of MeClellan,
who states that he had an interview
with the General, which he prefaced
by stating that he did not come from
the President, and had no authority or
consent to make overtures, but advised
MeClellan not to accept the nomina
tion. as he would certainly be defeated."'
but to show his patriotism by asking
a command, which, if refused, would
throw the responsibility on the admin
istration. The General promised to
give deep consideration to the matter.
Mr. Blair saj-s he made known to Mr.
Lincoln his attempt at conciliation, and
told him he thought Gen. MeClellan
might write to him about the; matter,
and thfjt the President neither express
ed approval or disapproval of what ho
had done. A few weeks after this Me-
Clellan accepted the Chicago nomina
tion, and thus identified himself with
the faction which is willing to make a
dishonorable peace with the rebels,
oven at the cost of disunion.
WAR NEWS.
Official Despatches.
CEDAR CREEK, Oct. 19—ID p. ui. —
Lieut. Gen. Grant, City Point: I have
the honor to report that my army at Cedar
Creek was attacked this morning before
day-light, and my left was turned and dri
ven ia confusion, with the loss of twenty
pieces of artillery. I hastened from Win
chester, where I was on my return from
Washington, and found the two armies
between Middletown and Newton, having
been driven back about four miles. I here
took the. matter in hand, and, quickly uni
ting the corps, formed a compact line of
battle just iu time to repulse an attaek of
the euemy, which was handsomely done,
at about 1 p. m.
At 3 p. in , after some change of the
cavalry from the left to the right flank, I
attacked with great vigor, driving and rout
ing the enemy, capturing, according to the
last report, forty three pieces of artillery
and very many prisoners. I do not yet
know the number of my casualties or loss
of the enemy.
Wagons, horses, ambulances and caissons
in large numbers are in our possession.
They also burned some of the tnins.
General ftamscur is a prisoner in our
hands, severely and perhaps mortally
wounded.
I have to regret the loss of Gen. Bid
well, killed, and Generals Wright, Grover
and Russell, wounded—Wright slightly
wounded.
Affairs at times looked badly, but, by
the gallantry of our brave officers arid men,
disaster has been converted into a splendid
victory. Darkness again intervened to
shut off great results.
I now occupy Strasburg. As soon as
obtained, I will send you further particu
lars. p. 11. SIIERIDAN,
Maj. Gen.
The battle was fought tho same day (the
19ih of the month) that witnessed Sheri
dan's victory in September.
'I he following dispatch, contains further
particulars of Cedar Creek :
CEDAR CREEK, Oct. 20 —11.30 a. ra.
\Y e have again been favored by a great
victory—a victory won f rom disaster by the
gallantry of our officers and men.
J he attack on the enemy was made about
3 o'clock p. tu. by a left half wheel of the
whole line, with a division of cavalry
turning each flank of the enemy, the whole
line advanced. The enemy, after a stub
born resistance, broke aud fled, and were
pursued with vigor.
The artillery captured will probably be
over fifty pieces. This, of course, includes
what were captured fiom our troops in the
morning. At least 1,600 prisoners have
been brought in; also, wagons and ambu
lances in large numbers.
This morning the cavalry made a dash at
Fisher's Hill and carried it, the enemy
having fled during the night, leaving only
a small rear guard.
1 have to regret the loss of many valua
ble officers killed and wounded—among
them, Colonel Joseph Thorburn, command
ing a division of Crooks' command, killed;
Colonel J. Howard Kitchen, commanding
a brigade, wounded; Colonel R. G. McKen
zie, commanding a brigade, wounded
severely, but would not leave the field. I
cannot yet give exact details. Many of
our men captured in the morning have
made their escape and are coming in.
Ramseur, commanding a corps in Early's
division, died this morning.
P. H. SHERIDAN,
Maj. Gen.
Gen Grant's appreciation of the victory
at Cedar Creek is expressed in the follow
ing dispatch :
CITY POINT, Oct. 20,1864 —8 p. m.
I had a salute of one hundred guns from
each of the armies here, in honor of Sheri
dan's last victory. Turning what had bid
fair to be a disaster into a glorious victory,
stamps Sheridan what I havealways thought
him—one of the ablest generals.
U. S. GRANT,
Lieut. Gen.
The Medical Director reports that 770
slightly wounded have reached Winchester
from the field, and all the wounded that are
able to bear transportation will be forwarded
immediately to Martinsburg.
The telegraphic line is now working to
Atlanta, but no late reports have been re
ceived by the Department.
EDWIN M. STANTON,
Sec'y. of War.
C II ATT A N OOU A , Oct. 2.
No engagement is yet believed to have
occurred between the opposing armies in
Northern Georgia.
The rebel Gen. Hood is reported to be
rapidly moving down the Broomstown
Valley to Jacksonville and Talladega,
where he strikes the railroad to Montgom
ery, Alabama.
Gen Sherman's array stripped of every
pound of superfluous baggage, is in hot
pursuit. The enemy has so much of a
start, and flies so fearfully that his capture
is not assured. A train came up to Tilton
from Atlanta to day. A small party of
rebel cavalry attempted to tear up the track
below Ackworth yesterday, but were driven
off by the traiu guard, otherwise all is quiet
along the Atlauta road.
CEDAR CHEEK., Oct. 23, 4 p m.
I pursued the routed force of the enemy
nearly to Fort Jackson, which point he
reached during the uight of the 19th and
20th, without an organized regiment of hia
army.
From the accounts of our prisoners who
have escaped and citizens, the rout was
complete.
About 2,000 of tho enemy broke and
made their way down through the moun
tains, on the left, for ten miles. On the
line of retreat the rond and country were
covered with small arms, thrown away by
the flying rebels, aud other debris.
I think that not less than 300 wagons
and ambulances were either captured or
destroyed. The accident of the morning
turned to our advantage, as much as though
the whole movement had been planned.
1 lie only regret thrt I have is the capture,
in the morning, of from 800 to 1.000 of
our men. I am now sending to the War
Department ten battle flags. The loss of
artillery in the morning was seven guns
from Crook, eleven from Kmery, and six
from W right, From all that I could learn
I think that Early's reinforcements could
not be less than 10,000 men. •
P. H. SHERIDAN,
Major General.
K ANSAS ( ITV, Oct 23.—Price'6 whole
army is reported to be retreating rapidly
south. Our cavalry are in hot pursuit—
altogether, with Pleasantou's force, nuui
bering 10.000 men.
. Pleasonton closed yesterday's battles at
Independence by capturing a large number
of prisoners and three guns. This morn
ing our line formed Ave miles south of
Kansas City, on the West Point road.
Skirmishing continued for several hours,
when the whole force advanced and heavv
fighting ensued.
The enemy rapidly fell back and formed
a new line, a mile and a half from the first
position. An artillery eugageuieut then
ensued, our infantry slowly advancing.
Ihe fight was kept up for ten miles from
this point, the enemy gradually falling back
l'leasantori fhen came in on our left and a
grand charge followed, resulting in the total
rout of the enemy.
When our informant left the front our
whole cavalry was in vigorous pursuit and
the infantry following.
Gen. Blunt commanded the volunteer
force on the left; Geo. the centre,
composed of militia, who behaved gallantly
fhe 2d Colorado, Col Ford, in the thickest
of the fight made several brilliant charges
Our loss was not heavy, but that of the
rebels, judging from tie number of dead
and wounded left on the field, was very
great.
—We have only room for the follow
ing extract of a letter from Dr. W. to
the editor: " All hail to the Union Vic
tories, at first a foregone conclusion,
then a fixed fact, Gallant little Mifflin
did well, but she can, she must do bet
ter. A majority* of one on the home
vote! Well, sir, may I not claim the
honor of that vote, for I sent it one
thousand miles. 1 never, in a period
of twenty-five years, dejiosited a vote
with a more thorough conviction ofdo
ing rbjht, and never in twenty-five
years missed but one vote ! Thousands
of our opponents are misled by false
facts. We are either for the govern
ment or against it, for the rebels or
agains them "
