if they will make their arrangements to square

The approaching Courts will afford many

MR. BUCHANAN’S DEFENCE
On our first page will be found the reply
of Ex-President Bdchanan to the “undis
guised censure" cast upon him in Lieut. Gen
eral Scott’s address to the public, which we
also give on the same page. The reply is a
most able and incontrovertible statement of
the circumstances connected with the secession
of the seven Cotton States, and a triumphant
answer to the numerous charges of unfaithful
ness brought against Mr. Buchanan since the
commencement of the civil war in which the
country has been involved for the last nineteen
months.
The National Intelligencer , in which both
letters appear, speaks in the following com
plimentary strain of Mr. B’s production :
“In the paper now placed before our readers,
the venerable Ex-Prei-ident shows that he was
not unmindful uf the obligations placed upon
him by the trying events through which he
was calltd to pass in the closing months of his
administration, and he clearly states the con
siderations of public duty under which he
acted, and also the limits within which be bad
power to act at all. At the same time he
places in a clear light some facts which, from
the commanding position he then held at the
head of affairs, he is able to presentin a collo
cation that redeems his conduct from certain
misapprehensions which may have been enter
tained at the time by observers less cognizant,
of all the circumstances which made up the
situation, as well civil as military, at the out
break of secession. It is in this’view, as well
asTvr the interesting Dature of its contents,
and\of the to which it relates, that
this paper of the Ex President may justly
claim at the hands of his countrymen a can
did consideration, in advance of that more
extended review of the same topics which we
may soon expect to see published, and
whioh has thus far been withheld only from
motives that reflect honor on the writer's
patriotism."
We rather inoline to the opinion
that General Scott will hesitate about
continuing this controversy with the Ex-
PjTesident, as he can scarcely expect to
gain any laurels in the discussion. Hie bout
with Secretary Marcy, during the Mexican
War, in which he also came off second best,
Bhould have satisfied him that his forte is not
newspaper controversy—that the sword, not
the pen, is the weapon he can wield with most
effect for his own fame and the good of the
country.
GBN. HoCLELLASI superseded
Major General McClellan has again been
superseded in the command of the Army
of the Potomac, and the command turned
over to Major General Burnside. The order
was received on Saturday at head quarters,
and Gen. McClellan and staff left the army
on Sunday for Trenton, N. J., where he is
ordered to report.
It is reported that Gen. Bragg's army,
which was driven out of Kentucky, has effect
ed a janotion with Gen. Lee’s forces—if so,
we may expect another desperate battle, before
many days, somewhere in the region of Centre
ville or Manassas.
An attack was made a few days since on
Nashville by Gen. John C. Breckinridge
with 20,000 men, so report Bays, but he was
gallantly repulsed by the Union forces in
that City, under command of General Negley.
HON. HORATIO SEYMOUR.
This able ard accomplished statesman—
the gallant leader of the united Democracy of
the Empire State—has been triumphantly
elected to the Gubernatorial chair of that
Commonwealth. The eyes of the whole Na
tion are upon him, and we much mistake the
signs of the times if higher honors are not in
store for him at no distant day. It is, per
haps, too soon yet to agitate the question of
the next Presidency of the United States, but
when the proper time does arrive we shall be
muoh Burprißed if the name of Horatio Sey
mour does not occupy a prominent place in
the list of Democratic statesmen from whom
the selection of a Chief Magistrate is to be
made.

PENNSYLVANIA
SOMEBODY HURT!
The November elections eclipse,
if possible, the October results in the
brilliancy of the Democratic victory
achieved. How true it is that “ revo
lutions never go backward.” The
ball set in motion by the Democracy
of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana,
has been rolling on, increasing in
magnitude and velocity, and the
Empire State, and Sucker State, and
the Jersey Blues have still more and
more increased its speed, crushing
the last vestige of Niggerism beyond
its ponderous weight and irresistible
onward progress.
Look at the magnificent results:
In New York, the able and ac
complished Seymour is elected Gov
ernor by some 10 or 12,000 majority.
All the other Democratic State offi
cers are elected. YVe have large gains
in the Legislature, and we have
18 of the 31 members of Congress
—a gain of 8 in the delegation.—
The City of New York alone gave
31,734 majority. This is a wonder
ful result, -when we consider that but
one year ago the Republican majori
ty in the State was nearly 107,000 !
In New Jersey, the Democrats
have elected, their Governor by about
14,000 majority, 4 of the 5 members
of Congress, and large majorities in
both branches of the Legislature.
In Illinois, the Democrats have
carried both branches of the Legis
lature and 9 of the 14 members ot
Congress. The popular majority is
about 15,000.
In Wisconsin the Democrats have
2, and probably 3, of the 6 members
of Congress, and have reduced the
heavy Abolition majority in the
State to a mere nothing. The Leg
islature will probably be Democratic.
In Delaware the Democrats have
elected their candidate for Congress,
and two-thirds of the Legislature.
In Michigan and Minnesota, al
though not entirely successful, our
friends have made extraordinary
gains, and another year will wheel
both those States, with lowa, into
the Democratic line.
So we go.” The great reaction is
still going on, and the foul demon
of Abolitionism will soon be driven
into its den, from which it will never
again emerge to curse the land.
The Democracy “are coming,
Father Abraham, more than 900,-
000 strong!” and they will yet save
the Union, if you cau’t.
A SLIGHT DISCREPANCY I
The Secretary of the Treasury announces,
semi-offieially, that the public debt of the
United States is about $650 000,000.
Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, in his speech
helore the Convention which nominated him
on the 3d of September, stated that we bad
then spent $2 000,000 000 (two thousand
millions !) in trying to suppress the rebellion.
Mr. S. is Chairman of the Committe of Ways
and Means in the House of Representatives,
and is presumed to have known what he was
talking ahout. We make the billowing extract
from liis speech, ns published in the Lancaster
Examiner of the lOch of September :
‘•They [therebels] still hold the Mississippi
and threaten us even on the banks of the
Ohio ; all because the slaves at home are giving
them no trouble—because tee are. at the point
of the bayonet, keeping them loyal to their
masters instead of to the Union! I have
told these things to the President and Cabinet
and they replied—“lt mav come to this ’
‘•Come to this!” when 200 000 men have
melted nway, and $2,000,000,000 spent
“ Come to this” —when another half million
lives shall have been lost and a billion of
dollars more laid upon you in taxation 1 7
cannot and will not stand this, and if you elect
me I shall vote that every man be armed,
black and white, who can aid in crushing the'
rebellion ; that every inch of rebel soil be taken
and sold to pay the debt of this war."
FAMILIES OF POOR CONSCRIPTS.
In this county, as everywhere else, many
persons have been drafted who can illy afford
to leave their homes and families, and some
of these are in deep distress. We know some
cases of laboring men with large families, and
some with sickly wives and afflicted children
who will now probably be left in a destitute
condition, or with scarcely sufficient means to
provide fuel, clothing and provisions during
the severity of the winter. With all such we
deeply sympathise, and would strongly com
mend their cases to the consideration of their
benevolent and opulent neighbors. The fami
lies of these men should be attended to, and
they must not be permitted to suffer for the
necessaries of life during the absence of their
husbands and fathers, who have been called
away to uphold the Government and put
down treason and rebellion. We therefore
hope that organizations will be immediately
formed in every township for the relief of the
families of drafted Boldiers.
ABOLITION TRIUMPHS.
Governor Andrew is re-elected in Massa
chusetts by about 20.000 majority. His ma
jority last year was 33.500. The Abolitionists
have also carried the Legislature, and 9 of the
10 Congressmen.
Michigan gives an Abolition majority of
about 5,000-a great falling off. The Demo
crats gain one Congressman.
Partial returns from Missouri and Kansas
indicate that the Emancipationists have
carried a majority of Congressmen in the first
State, and that the Jim Lane Abolition ticket
has been elected in the second.
U. S. SENATOR.
The question of U. S. Senator is beginning
to bo agitated among the people. We have
heard the names of the following gentlemen
mentioned in connexion with the office:
Hon. James Campbell, of Philadelphia,
Hon. William Bigler, of Clearfield,
Hon. Charles R Buckalew, of Columbia,
lion Jeremiah S Black, of York,
Ilun George W. Woodward, of Luzerne,
ILm. Francis VV. Hughes, of Schuylkill
Hun. J. Glancy Jones, of Berks. ’

MILITARY EXEMPTIONS.
We propose saying a few wordß in reference
feo exemption from bearing arms on account
of conscientious scruples, as this is a subject
which has engrossed the attention of the peo
ple, in a greater or less degree, ever sinee.it
was announced that a draft of the militia
would be made. We have purposely refrained
from giving our- views sooner, as we did not
wish, in any possible way, to throw embarrass-,
ments, direotly or indirectly, in the way of
the drafting officers.
The question to be answered is this : Is it
right to exonerate only those who belong to
a particular denomination of Christians, be
oanse their Church rules forbid the member
ship bearing arms ? The Constitution of the |
Cnited States does not eay so, for it is silent j
on the subject. Nor does the Constitution of
Pennsylvania—for its language is: “Those
who conscientiously sornpie to bear arms,
shall not be compelled to do so, but shall pay
an equivalent for personal service.’’ It doeß
not say that Quakers, or Dunkers, or Men
nonists, or Omisbmen shall Dot be required to
bear arms; but it means all those, no matter
what church they belong to, or whether any
church, who have conscientious scruples, shall
be exempted from military duty. Then why
Bhonld not a conscientious Lutheran, or Ger
man Reformed, or Methodist, or Presbyterian,
or Roman Catholic, or any other religionist,
be equally favored with exemption ?
We never could see the propriety or fair
ness of making this invidious distinction be
tween sects or denominations. If one man is
legally exempted from bearing arms because
of his conscience, why should not his neighbor
be exempted on the same ground, although he
may not be a Quaker, a Dunker, a Mennonist,
or an Omishman ? The Reform Convention
of 1837-8 evidently took this view of it.—
The subject was ably discussed in that body
by Messrs. Cops and Darlington, who re
presented the Quaker interest of Philadelphia
and Chester county, and neither of those
gentlemen claimed exemption simply on ac
count of Church fellowship. Oo the contrary,
they both took the broad and liberal ground
that every man, no matter to what branch of
the Christian Church he belonged, if he had
conscientious scruples on the subject, Bhould
be exempted from rendering military service.
And this was the view taken by Jjidgo Por
ter, Mr. Meredith, Mr. Stevens, and all the
other gentlemen who took part in the discus
sion. This is the great principle that runs
through all our Constitutions and laws,
whether State or National, on the subject;
and it gould not be otherwise, unless we are
willing to give one Churoh immunities and
privileges over another, a point which was
saoredly guarded against by the framers of
our organio law.
The exemption from military duty on con
scientious scruples should either be general or
not exist at all. A partial exemption, which
favors three or four religious bodies to the
exclusion of all others, is neither fair nor
constitutional, and we marvel that any such
distinction has been made. The only way we
can account for it, is the well-known fact
that nearly the entire membership of the four
denominations above alluded to, are known
to belong to the Abolition party and voted
the Abolition ticket at the laßt election in this
State, whereas other denominations are made
up of both the political parties —the Democ
racy. pel i. : p-. ] ; ed mioonog.
Our idea is, that every citizen oweß a duty
to his country, and should be willing, if other
wise qualified, to step forth in defence of that
country whon necessity requires. But as the
law interferes where conscience comes in the
way, then we think there should be no in
vidious distinction made in favor of any par
ticular sect or church. Let all be placed on
the same footing, whether Jew or Gentile,
Catholic or Protestant. This is the spirit of
our National and State Constitutions, and any
law or policy or dictum which comeß iD con
flict therewith should be at once abandoned
as contrary to the genius and spirit of our
free institutions.
POLITICAL PROSCRIPTION
The most bare-faoed and outrageous inter
ference with the freedom of the inestimable
right of suffrage was practised by Abolition
nabobs in many sections of this State, and
even in Lancaster county, at the late election.
Men were threatened with loss of work, and
some have since been discharged for daring to
exercise the right of freemen. We are
pleased to know that measures have been taken
to put Borne of these dishonest political knaves,
who would enslave the poor laboring white
man and rob him rf his manhood, on the de
fensive before the law. In our neighboring
county of York warrants have been issued and
placed in the hands of the Sheriff for the ar
rest of certain Abolitionists, who, on the
morning of the eleotion, notified the hands in
their employ that they must vote as dictated
by them or be discharged. This is the proper
course to take. Abolitionists everywhere,
who, by a resort to intimidation and ooereion,
interfered with the right of suffrage and of
conscience, should be prosecuted to tho utmost
extent of the law, which prescribes the Peni
tentiary and heavy penalties for such infrac
tions of the free exercise of the elective
franchise. Let the negro-loving tyrants, who
proscribe and persecute white men for voting
according to the dictates of reason and con
science, be put through under the revised
Penal Code which contains the following clause
in reference to this subject:
“Any person who shall directly or indirectly
give, or offer to give, any such gift or reward
to any euoh elector, with the intent to induoe
him to vote for any particular candidate or
candidates at suoh election, or shall directly
or indirectly procure or agree to give any
such gift or reward to such elector with the
intent aforesaid, or shall, with the intent to in
ftuence or intimidate such elector to give his
vote for any particular candidate or candidates,
at such eleotion, give, offer, or promise to give
such elector any office, place, appointment or
employment, or threaten such elector with
dismissal or discharge from any office, place
appointment or employment, public or private
then held by him, in case of his refusal to vote
for any particular candidate or candidates at
such election —the person so offending shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor, and, on eonviotion,
be sentenced to pay a fine not exceeding five
hundred dollars, and undergo an imprisonment
not exceeding two years."
YELLOW FEVER AT HILTON HEAD,
The news from the Federal Army at Port
Royal and vicinity, is of a painful character.
A malignant fever bad made its appearance
in the Camp, and carried off a number of offi
cers and men. Among the former was Gen
eral Mitchell, the commander of the 10th
Army Corps—a man of brilliant genius and
eminent military service. Fortunately the
disease did not make its appearance until so
late in the season that its reign will be short.
By the last arrival it is stated that bat few
cases had occurred for two or three days pre-
Vioua to leaving.
We haven’t heard a word for the last
week about “ Hughes, Sanderson & Co."—
This is passing strange, indeed, and we begin
to ask ourself the question, what have we done
to be thuß Blighted by the Express t We shall
feel relieved at a notice now and then from
our very modest and patriotic neighbor.

THeIuLORIOBI RESULT.
- We soaroely have words to give utterance
to the profound joy that fills our heart at the
result of -the elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, .New York, New Jersey, Illinois,
Delaware and WisoonsiD. For months the
Democracy of this county and State have been
the victims of the most atrocious
and persecutions by the Abolition press and
Abolition leaders. Every epithet that black
hearted malice could suggest was freely used,
aud ohargea of treason upon the whole party
were of daily occurrence. But what did it
all avail with the incorruptible masses of the
people. The Abolitionists now, like their
j predecessors, the Federalists, in the days of
I John. Adams the elder, muzzled the press;
they imprisoned men for the liberty of speech .
they expelled others from the country who
did not agree with them in sentiment; they
•vested extraordinary powers in the President;
they subverted the Constitution, and estab
lished a reign of terror throughout the land ;
and now, as in 1800, the Democracy have
risen in the majesty of their strength, and
have taken the first step toward expelling
from power the betrayers of the people's con
fidence.
This election marks a new era in the history
of the country. Let freemen rejoice in this tri
umph of ours, for do bastileany longer awaits
to receive them for the honest utterance of
political opinions; no suspension of the great
writ of liberty—the habeas corpus; no disre
gard of trial by jury ; no trampling under
foot the rights of the oitizen ; no destruction
of sacred constitutional guarantees follows in
the wake of a Demooratic viotory.
The election is an admonition to the Ad
ministration, that under the miserable pre
tense of the war power they will not be per
mitted to suspend the Constitution and render
onr Government a more intolerable and un
limited despotism than Russia or China. The
people know no war power or peace power that
oan set aside the fundamental law of the land,
which is immutably the same in war as in
peace, equally designed for adversity or pros
perity.
In thunder tones have the people condemned
the Abolition Proclamation of President Lin
coln and the fanatics to whoso pressure he
suoeumbed. This verdiot of the people should
put a barrier to further enoroaohment upon
their rights. Let Democrats rejoice, for the
long dark night of political despotism is pass
ing away, and the bright sun of a better fu‘
ture is easting his rays above the horizon.
Let our people take warning by the example
of the terrible past, and shun the knaves and
charlatans who are the authors of our awful
calamities. In this hour of our great triumph
we can well afford to be magnanimous to those
who hare so shamefully and villainously per
secuted us. Democracy is always as liberal
and tolerant as Abolitionism is tyrannical and
dospotio.
Let those who, like ourselves, look forward
to a future re-union of the States, take courage
from this hour onward. One great-obstacle
to this desirable consummation has been swept
out of the way. Abolitionism and its terri
ble concomitant will no longer sow the seeds
of discord and strifo—will no longer add fuel
to the flames that threatened to consume
Amerioan liberty. We say no longer—but
alas! we forget; for unfortunately, three
more months will have to pass away, after it
c ,. nvt . no , npv It-oombc,. el ;te the must cor
rupt, the must ruiteu and fanatical Congress
that ever disgraced a nation will adjourn sine
die. Oh, that the People’s House which has
been chosen, could meet next December, to put
a curb on the crazy wretches who have been
driving the Government to destruction !
These elections are but the precursor of still
greater and more important ones, which will
not only choose a House of Representatives,
but a President of the United States, who will
be faithful to his Constitutional oaths and
exert his powers to preserve the peace and
unity of the country, in place of seeking to
divide and destroy it. Let us humbly trust
that when that time shall arrive, wo may have
a Government to save—that it may not be
utterly ruined by_the folly and wickedness of
those who are now seeking its overthrow.
CONGRESSIONAL MAJORITIES.

andjlhc 18th, (Hale’s,) because the votes east
for the • candidates were not strictly party
votes. This majority, if it had been properly
divided, would have elected eight more Con

MILITARY OPERATIONS.
The telegraph informs us that the Bnow
storm of Friday was general. South of us
there was probably a greater fall of snow
than here. If this has been the ease, a stop
has probably been put to any further move
ments of .the Army of the Potomac for tbo
present. We shall regret this, says the Har
risburg Patriot, not because we are anxious
for the spilling of moro blood, but because
either a great victory or a great defeat, before
the winter sots in fairly, might have opened
the way for negotiations with a view to tho
restoration of peace and Union. We say
Union—for without a restoration of the Union
there can be no peace. If the weather holds on
as it has been since Friday, we do not see how
the army can avoid going into winter quarters,
unless, by a rapid and successful forward
movement, it should force back the oolumns
of tho enemy to the rice and cotton -regions,
where the temperature is milder than it i B in
Virginia. A very few days will settle the
question whether there is to be a further ad
vance or a halt until next Spring.
SOMEBODY ELBE’S BULL GORED.
The Abolitionists of Baltimore and Harris
burg are muoh exercised over the military
arrests recently made in those oities by ordor
of Major General Wool. These gentlemen
had no word of condemnation for the arbi
trary arrests of Democrats ; that was right
and proper, hut now that the iron hand of
military rule has been laid upon their shoul
ders,they howl mostpiteously over thetyranny
of military commanders. They are now be
ginning to feel some of the wrongs they were
so anxious to infliot upon their neighbors.—
'We hope they may be compelled to quaff the
bitter cup of insolenoe and despotism which
they had prepared for Democrats, to its dregs.
They will then learn sense and deoency.

report of Col Hambrioht, showing the part tbe 79th took
in the dssperate aud bloody battle of Chaplin HUls on the
9th of October:

„ T _ * n Camp on Chaplin Hills, Ky., Oct. 9,1862. f
Col. J. C. Starkweather, commanding 28ih Briaade:
r> ft/r , ,* 6 tbe h ° DOr t 0 reporf tbat oa tbe afternoon of
the Bib inst. my command was ordered to take up a p- si
ion fronting towards the enemy’s centre, bat soon after
changod, and moved near to Rod on the right of Stone’s
and Bush s batteries.
The front at this point was thickly covered with heavy
timber and undergrowth in which were bidden a large
body of the enemy’s sharpshooters, who opened & deetruc
tive fire as we halted, kil’iug and wuuDdlng a number of
ineu. The fire was promptly returned and kept up with
effect, causing them to fall back.
We now received orders from Gen. Rosseau to hold the
ground nuder all circumstances, as the a.tfatv of the day
depended upon it. At this Ume a terrible flr« from the
enemy commenced thinning the ranks, but the ground
was held, and their forces (tie we since learn, an entire bri
gade) again retired nnder the steady fire of the men of the
i9th. The euemy advanced three times, bnt was driven
back each time with terrible lofs
We held the ground until late in the evening, when
your order was received to move to a position in the rear
of Bush's battery.
The casualties are hoavy, full and correct lists of which
I enclose.
The conduct of all the officers aud Boldiers engaged, un
der circumstances that were most discouraging, aud with
out any support, is beyond auy praise I could bestow
Many individual acts of corlness and bravery took p'lace'
during the engagement, bnt to particularize would be
doing injustice to all, as the conduct and actious of all
engaged of the 79th has met the approval of the command
ing officer.
I respectfully submit the above, with the lists of the
killed, wounded and missing, &c., as my report.
I have the honor to be, Colonel, yoar most obedient ser

- General Andrew Porter.—The following
briet but interesting sketch of the' military services of our
native townsman, whose name heads this article, we clip
from the Philadelphia Prat of Saturday. Gen. P. is a ton
of our esteemed townswoman, Mrs. George B. Porter, and
has boats of friends in this city and county, who hail his
appointment to the command of the troops in Pennsylva
nia with rreat satisfaction:
Brigadier General Andrew Porter.—The announce
ment that Brigadier General Andrew Porter will have
command of all the troops now in Pennsylvania will be
hailed with pleasure throughout the State, and will be
taken as a sure guarantee that the borders of the Ftate
will not in tbe future be lett open to the raids of

in 1837, ami immediately auarwards entered the army r.i
Becoad lieutenant- Od the 27th of May, 1846, he was pro
moted to a fits’ lieutenancy iu the Mourned Rifirn. U e
participated in the battle of Cerro Gordo, and particularly
distinguished himself, having been honorably mentioned
by his superior c ffl -ers. In May, 1847. he was promoted
to a captaincy, aud for gallaht and meritorious conduct in
the battles of Contreras and Cherubusco he was breveted
a major, his brevet dating from tbe 20-h of August 1847
He was further breveted lie utenant colonel for gallant and
meritorious conduct in the battle of Chepultepec On the
11th of March. 1856, he resigned, and retired to private
life. At tbo breaking out of the war he whb called to
Washington, and did his utmost to forward tbe troops to
the belo.guered capital, aud form them into brigades and
divisions wheD thev reached tb-re. At the battle of Bull
Run he c mmunded a division under General Hunter, who
held ibe centre, and personally superintended its move
ments til through tho baft e, aud noth it reached Wash
ington on ih« retreat. He was afterwards appointed to the
colonelcy of the 16th Regiment Regular Infantry, and was
given a brigadi-r generalship of volunteers.

he perform© 1 bis allotted task in a satisfactory manner.
Goo. McClellan's army having moved from tbe Potomac,
the border was more or leßs liable to raids similar to that

guarantee that tbe Government has dtterrniDed that they

HORRORS OP I WniANWARFARK-300
SIOUX TO Bid EXECUTED.
A letter dated “ Camp Release,” Minoe
sota, Oot. 20th, spe&ke of the suecessee which
ave attended the efforts to suppress IndiaD
disturbances at the Northwest. Over three
warriors, most of whom were im
plicated in the recent horrible massacres, ha?e
surrendered to the forces sent out under Gen
eral Sibley. This letter says further •
The three hundred Sioux who have sur
rendered are in close confinement here and
at the Agency, twenty-five miles below and
are now undergoing a trial by drum-head
court martial. This court consists of an
efficient body of men, who combine both le»al
and military knowledge. The President
Colonel Wm: CJrooke, of St. Paul, i 8 a grad
oate of West Point and a thorough and ex
perienced officer. Id almost every case the
sentence will doubtless be death, and by
hanging ; for the atrocities were so great that
little mercy will be shown as to the means
of punishment ; and the outbreak was so
general throughout the lower Sioux Nation,
that the surest method is to pronounce every
warrior guilty until he can show proof of his
innocence ; but this course is not pursued—
on the contrary no Indian will be convicted
unless sufficient evidence is produced to estab
lish his guilt. But as all these Sioux were
well known among the frontiermen, and as
they held white captives while the outrages
were being commuted, there is little difficulty
in obtaining positive testimony. If then re
port goes East that three hundred of these
oreatures have been hung, call it not cruelty
they are human and deserve pity ; but on
earth, do pity.
Double Murder and Suicide.—On the
31st ult., a shocking tragedy took place at
Port Clinton. Ottawa 00., 0. ' On that day a
T. J Kirk left home with his'wife and two
small boys, leaving the house in charge of
two daughters, Alice, aged fifteen, and Amy,
aged eleven, together with an adopted daugh
ter, Naomi Knight, aged eighteen, and Henry
Riquartz, a hired man aged twenty-two. The
eldest daughter, Alice, was absent from nine
o clock until near two, and on her return
found the table set and the plates havig the
appearance that the three—Riquartz and the
two girls—had eaten dinner. The girls were
absent, and in searching for them sheencoun'
■\tered Riquartz, who denied all knowledge of
They did not return during the after
poon, and nightfall Riquartz informed her
that they had gone to visit their uncle in the
pillage, when Riquartz seized and strangled
[her until she became unconscious ; afterward
/binding her hand and foot, remarking that he
did not desire to murder her, but merely pre
vented her giving alarm to the neighbors until
he could kill himself. He then bade her good 1
bye and left the house. At the door he met a !
woman who asked for the three girls, and in- '
formed her that they were up Bfcairs. On en- j
tering she found Alice bound as described, !
and released her. The village was soon alarm- I
ed, and a search instituted, which resulted in j
the disoovery of the body of Riquartz hanging *
in the barn. The bodies of the two girls were
found in the granary, having evidently beeD
violated and then strangled with a leathre
band on their necks; the youngest girl had
her hands tied behind her baok.
lue Crtor.—The Doylostuwn (Bucks
oounty) Intelligencer says.- The crop of ap
ples recently gathered in this county has not
been equalled for many years past. The quan
tity of cider manufactured for vinegar and other
purposes is immense. Vast quantities have
been sent to Philadelphia, from the upper sta
tions on the N. P. Railroad, in particular.
Ihe stock of cider vinegar in this section of
country is not likely to be exhausted for some
time to come. Winter apples have.been sell
ing in the upper end of the county for as low
as twenty-five cents per bushel, and in some
canes purchasers were very numerous at
this price. In some parts of the county a con
siderable amount of whisky is being manu
factured from the apples. We estimate the
value of the saleable apple crop of Bucks coun
ty this year to be not less than fifty thousand
dollars, while the aggregate production would
reach a much higher figure.
The Drafted Men. —The Harrisburg
Patriot and Union says that Adjutant General
Thomas is now in that city for the purpose of
arranging wirh the Governor to have the
drafted men sent forward as rapidly as possi
ble to HU up old regiments now in the field.
Against this, as we are informed, the Gover
nor protests, and, as we think, very properly.
These drafted men have been torn from
their homes and their families, in many in
stanos, under very distressing oircumstances,
and yet beiDg grouped together in companies
from the Rame peighborhoods and counties,
they are, to a certain extent, consoled by
each other, aDd in case of need they can assist
each other. But now, if they are to be sepa
rated and scattered among strangers and in
different regiments, it wiil add largely to the
hardships they must endure at best.
We think it would be a much better plan to
have the old regiments consolidated, aod the
officers thrown out sent home on the recruiting
service, or, in some instances, put iDto the
new regiments to drill and prepare the drafted
men for service.
Alexander K. McClure.— The man who
marched out with a flag of truce to surren
der Chambersburg was Alexander K. M'Clure
the very fellow who in Philadelphia, last
week, made a speech- to a crowd of abolition
ists, in which he expounded the whole theory
of war according to Wendell Phillips, advo
cated marching at once on the enemy, giving
them no quarters; and, in short, gave his
audience to understand that himself and a half
dozen of his own political kidney could march
against Lee, annihilate him before breakfast
and reach Richmond in time for dinner. A
squad of ragged horsemen approached his
town, and instead of shouldering his shotgun,
and dying in defense of his cause, as he was
very, willing to do in theory on a Philadel
phia stump, be takes a white flag and goes
out two miles to meet the enemy and surren
der the town—the very last man ready for
fight, the very first ready for surrender.—

allow me to suggest to the favorable consideration of the
Democratic Caucus the name of Cfriiurs Kelly, Esq of
Marietta, Mr. Kellt is well and iavorably known through
out the county lor his devotion to the principles of the
Democratic party. All who are at all familiar with the
pohlics of this county can testify to his unwavering seal
and untiring energy for the soccers of tbe cause he has so
long espoused, as well when our efforts were crowned with
success as in the dark and stormy period n have so recent
ly passed through, when we can now boast that victory
is once more inscribed on our banners. At the time when
a man to bo known as a consistent Democrat was in un
measured term* denounced ae a Traitor, few in the ranks
have withstood more pertooal abode aod been the recipleut
of legs favors thau Mr. K., and notwithstanding tbe vitu

urm and steadfast, encouraging others by his example to
pursue the same course. Ills qualifications are unexcep

The New York World enlarges upon the
infamous threat of the Abolitionist Cassius
M. Clay, at the Republican ratification meet
ing on the Thursday evening prior to the
election, at the Cooper Institute in the City
of New York. The threat is as follows :
“Had he been charged with rashness in say
ing that if Seymour and'Wood were hung it
would save the lives of many honest Demo
crats ? But from what we have heard, could
any that they were giving aid and
comfort to the enemies of the Government?
And in that case the men who made the Con
stitution had decided that they should be
bung by the neck till they were dead. [And
nmy God have mercy on their souls !| If
&eymour should he elected, civil tear would be
at our hearthstones /’
I hat is tu say, (says the World,) if Messrs.
Seymour and Woud are elected they arc to be
seized without law and huDg.without trial,
and civil war will he at our hearthstones/*
The Abolitionists stand, in this canvass, pre
cisely where the Secessionists stood id the
canvass for President. If they cannot carry
the election, they threaten to overthrow the
Government.
Of a piece with these words of the imperji
nentand revolutionary Major General Cassias
M. Clay, is the following extract from a letter
to the Buffalo Express by Samuel Wilkeson,
an attache of the Dibune, dated the 26 th of
October:
“I tell you, my dear sir, that if, in a
satanic providence of politics, we are passed
under the yoke, by Horatio Seymour, to the
slave power, the revolution now iD progress in
the South will be transferred td the North,
and will whelm-the great cities and portions
of the country with violences that I shudder to
think of. This result is inevitable from the_
enthronement ;u New York of the power
which is waging bloody war against the life
of the Republic. It will assuredly endeavor
to secure its future by a destruction of our
liberties. With what bloody obstinacy
endeavor would be resisted such men as you
and I know.”
That is, as the South rebelled against the
election of Mr. Lincoln, so the Abolitionists
will rebel against tbe constitutional election
of Mr. Seymour. The Abolitionists will re
sist a State administration which they cannot
control with “bloody obstinacy”—a threat of
violence which, says the World, will have
quite a different effect from intimidation.—
Although the Republican administration
commands a million soldiers, ' and the
Government bastiles yawn for new viotiins,
the people of New York will elect Horatio
Seymour next Tuesday—and abide the conse
quences.
The New York Times started this threat of
blood and anarchy on Sunday, when it threat
ened the overthrow of all civil power, all State
governments and all civil rights, when it de
clared “martial law over the entire North is a
national necessity. If the Governors of, the
Northern States manifest a factions the
provost marshals, it is presumed, will have
tbe power to keep, them in order. If State
Legislatures should undertake to interfere
with the action of the General Government,
necessary to the prosecution of the war, they
will come under the action of martial law, and
if the action of any political party shall
threaten to change or paralyze the movements
of the Government, it will doubtless be com
petent for the provost marshal in aDy State
to suspend political meetings and postpone
elections. If the Constitution of the United
States is to be cofistrued according to the
necessities of a oivil war of vast proportions,
the,Constitutions of individual States cannot
be allowed to stand in the way of its vigorous
prosecution.”
What do men of the bench, of the courts,
of the farms, of the manufactories, of the
counting house, of the workshops, ,of tbe
field, think of bloody instructions like these ?'
Will they not, even if successful, as in France
in the worst days of the French revolution,
return to plague the inventor ?
But the record of disunionism ends not here.
We quote from the New York Tribune :
“The same who have t uched ballots for a
quarter of a century can handle a cartridge
with the same dexterity of fioger. They will
as easily and as readily organize a military
despotism, if the exigency of the hour demand
it, as they can reconstruct on the foundation
of tranquil arbitration. We have opened our
eyes to the necessity of a stronger central
power.”
From John C. Fremont in St. Louis:
“That the people were in the field and he
was at their he&d, and would have everything
done according to their expectations from
him. * * * That he meant to carry out
such measures as they, the people, expected
him to carry out, without regard to the Red
Tape of the Washington people.”
The New York Times has declared tbe Ad
ministration “utterly incompetent to the task
devolved upon it.” The Tribune has abused
it without stint as disobedient to the laws.
The Evening Post says it is a failure. The
Cincinnati. Gazette has been unsparing in its
condemnation. The Chicago Tribune was so
ferocious in its anger that it published the in
famous letter stating that the victory in Mary
land would “set us back politically six
months.” These Wadsworth men openly
express fears in tbe Anti-Slavery Standard
that the war may end befure January let, so
that tbe Union may be restored as it was.—

The N. Y. Times Washington dispatoh says
tbe news already given, tbat important papers
have been submitted to the Secretary of State
by tbe Minister of France, is said to relate to
difficulties which have, at various times, oo
curred between Frenoh citizens residing in
New Orleans and Gen. Butler. In many in
stances these French residents have been com
plaining to the Imperial Government, through
M. Mercier, of exactions and persecutions of
all hinds exeroised against their persons by
order of Gen. Butler, and it is redress of these
alleged wronga whioh are said to be at the bot
tom of the reclamations presented by M. Mer
oier to Mr. Seward. :l
