LONG, OF TROY BORO. FOR REPRESENT ATI VES, IIENRY W.TR ACY, OF STANDING STONE, CHESTER T. BLISS, OF LEROY. FOR TREASURER, FRANCIS WATTS,OF NORTH TOWANDA. FOR COMMISSIONER, ISAAC LYONS, OF ORWELL. FOR AUDITOR, ROBERT MASON, OF ARMENIA. COL. MEANS' LETTER. In one of PATRICK HENRY'S most eloquent and burning speeches he turned the tide of popular indignatiou against a man* by depict ing him, in the midst of the darkest hours of the American Revolution, hoarsely bawling through the patriot camp, " Beef! Beef !!" The ludircrous and illtimed scene has its par allel in the letter of Col. MEANS announcing himself as a candidate for Representative, tak en in connection with the proceedings of the Democratic Mass Meeting and the action of the Committee. M e arc in the midst of a great Rebellion. The utmost power of the National Govern ment is put forth to preserve the iutegrity of the Union. Patriots of all paities are flock ing to the standard of the country to put down this unholy war, the leaders in which are the men who have for years ruled the Democratic party. While the patriotic of all shades of political opinion are pressiug forward to up hold the arm of the General Government, while the darkest hour of our adversity is cast ing its gloom over the country, a Democratic Mass Convention meets for the purpose of making nominations and giving utterance to the sentiments of that party. We have look ed carefully through the resolutions passed by that Couvention, in the hope that we could find one sing e word to cheer those onward who are Constitutionally charged with preserv ing the L nion. They are gilded, to be-sure, with a pinchbeck patriotism of" glittering gen eralities ' —but their evident intent and pur pose is to weaken public confidence in the men who are laboring under the great burdens of conducting the war. They are just such reso lutions as might with propriety cmenate from a Vi lute Feather gathering anywhere. But if the Convention forgot to stand np squarely and bravely for the Country, the lead ers did not forget to advertise their " Beef.'' If, amid the perils of the country, they had only opportunity for depreciation and fault finding, they did not neglect what seemed a capital opportunity to forward their political schemes. Their patriotism was in such infini tesimal quantities that they could not approve President LINCOLN'S prompt and noble efforts to preserve the Government—they would not even resolve to sustain liiin in those efforts— but they were opposed alike to " RtbiUiou and Usurpation " —the latter being the favor ite theme amongst all Southern sympathizers for stigmatizing the acts of the President. They introduce their " Beef " by first heartily approving of the conrse of Messrs. TRACY and BLISS, ami resolving to support them at the coming election, if they will agree to serve at sll per diem, and exert themselves earnest ly to procure a reduction of all salaries to the standard of 1842 " lhe Committtc, in interrogating Messrs. TRACY and Buss, stick strictly to the question of " three dollars a day " —and Col. MEANS in In his letter accepts " the nomination upon lhe principles indicated by the meeting." We look through his letter to see how be sympathizes with the defenders of our Country, and with the authorities who are laboring so ably and vigorously to steer the ship of state safely through the dangers which menace her. He graciously condescends to say. " I will sustain with my heart's blood, if needs be, every pmpcr effort on his part to crush this unholy rebellion in the present crisis." If President LINCOLN conducts the war to soit him, he will lend it the consideration of his sanction ! Republicans! These letters are contained in this paper. We ask for them your attentive perusal. The proceedings of the Convention were published in the Reporter of the 12th ult. Taken together they form an interesting chapter of political history. The dullest reader will at once be able to see the plot which has been laid by the same uneasy rest less, unscrupulous partizans who have vexed the political waters of the County for so many years. We tell you fellow citizens these men all no more worthy of yonr coufideuce now than in the years past, during which you have disowned and discarded thein. They are emi ently selfish, bitter, thoroughly partizans, who would lead our country to the brink of ruin, if they could accomplish the overthrow of the present National administration. Their patri otism is of the cheapest and flimsiest, kind to be found in the market, and is put off and on like an old garment to suit their convenience. While taxes presem and prospective, are pressing upon the people, these leaders, who gnage every man's patriotism by their own standard, have devised the plan of Col. MEAN'S nomination in the hope that it might possibly lead astray enought Republicans to elect him. We trust before any Republican makes up his mind to vote for him they will consider what is to be gained or lost by it. On the score of economy is he a more fit Representa tive of the wishes of the people than Messrs. TRACY and BLISS ? Is he more likely to fa vor a reduction of salaries, and a general re trenchment, than the gentlemen who have so well represented you f Are there no reasons Republicans, why you desire trusty and tried men in the Legisla ture ? Certainly if good and true men were ever needed there, they should be sent the coming winter. What sort of support would the General or State Gevernraent receive in the great effort to aid the Right, if a major ity of the House should be composed of such men as Col. MEANS 1 Why, we suppose if partizan purposes did not forbid he " would sustain every proper effort to crush this un holy rebellion " beißg equally opposed to " Re bellion and Usurpation. From the humilia ting spectacle of such support, Good Lord deliver us 1 Fellow-citizens ! the Legislative conduct of Messrs. TRACY and BLISS has been such as to meet your unqualified approbation. They have been rewarded with the complimeut of an unanimous re-nomiuation. Do you not believe you can confide questions of retrench ment iu their hands quite as safely as in Col. M F.ANS' ? And do you not believe the inter ests of the country are safer in their hands, than in the hands of one who is a thorough going partizan and opponent of the present National Administration. Will you reject your tried Representatives,to elect a mau who has nothing to recommend him to your snp port—and show the world you repudiate your principles and your party, to advance the schemes of men who are endeavoring to strike a deadly blow at both ? THE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE'S CORRESPON DENCE. We announced last week the correspondence between the Committee of the Democratic- Mass Convention, and Messrs. TRACY and BLISS, and the nomination, by the former, of Col. JOHN F. MEANS as the demociatic candi date for Representative. This number of the Reporter contains the correspondence in full. We need hardly invite the perusal of our rea ders, as we presume it will readily receive their attentioa. We are much mistaken in the iu telligencc and temper of our people, if they are not ready cordially to sustain Messrs. TRACY and BLISS in the independent staud they have taken. To have acceded to the modest re quest of this Committee would have been to have reached the lowest depth of stultification and demagogism, anil lost them the respect and confidence of every intelligent and right-think ing man. The cry of " high taxes" and " reform,"has been for years the favorite hobby of dema gogues of all parties. The broken down po litical hack, who has been for years feeding and fattening at the public crib, when discard ed by the public, and losing both their confi dencce, and a hold of the public pap, turns as a last resort, to the boyish " whip-behind" cry of " high taxes" and reform. It is somewhat amusing to see how virtuous some men can be come, when they have only a perspective instead of prospective view of the public Treasury. As the greatest scamps are always the readiest to turn State's evidence —so those who are read iest to plunder, are the most ready and flip pant with the "high taxes" and reform dodge. The letters which we publish meet the con stitutional and logical view of this matter so fully that we need not go into either. We shall therefore confine ourselves to the disclosure of the trick which is intended to be played upon the fancied credulity of the Republicans of the County. If there are any so " green "as to be led into the trap, we wish them joy of their affiliation with Messrs. PIOLLET and MEANS. In the midst of a rebellion which is taxing to the utmost the energies and resources of the county,the people must bear, and learn to bear patiently, the great burdens which will press upon them. Thank God, the darkest hour of our National peril is past—the heaviest pecu niary difficulties have already been felt. We believe there is to be hereafter a steady im provement in both for the better. But the burdens of taxation w ill for years be heavy, and all wastefulness, all public extravagance should be prevented and the public burdens made os light as possible. This feeling pervades all parties, and all branches of the government. It is one of the stern lessons of the times, which no public functionary nor party dare negiect. Amongst other objects of retrench ment we presume the salary of members of the legislature might with propriety be reduced. If so we would have it done in the proper legal aud constitutional way. Or if there is nothing desirable in a Representative except cheapness , then put their office up to the lowest bidder, and see who will serve the cheapest.— If Col. MEANS will go for $3 per diem, wc presume some other equally competent man would be glad to serve at $1 50, or perhaps for nothing—and run the chances of outside remuneration. But we do not believe {he peo ple of the County desire to be thus humiliat ed. Having every confidence that Messrs. TRACY and BLISS will labor zealously to lessen the public burdens, they will be willing to en dorse their past conduct, aud return them for renewed usefulness. Republicans 1 be at the polls early, aud vote for none but the regular nominees of the party. NO " PARTY." Our reader? will bear us witness that we have uot published anything of a partizan character since the " War for the Union " was inangurated. We have appealed to no par tizan prejudices, we have endeavored to excite no partizan feeling. We have seen no neces sity for such a course, and we deprecate the event which creates such a necessity. We were willing that party lines should be obliter ated as far as possible, in the grand uprising for the support of the Government and the Laws. We would have been willing to have seen the people unite upon candidates without regard to former political designation, if such an offer had been fraukly and fairly met by the Democratic leaders. How it was received, let New York and Vermont and Ohio answer.— The leaders of the Democracy, though aware that their party strength was gone, have de- termined to keep up a separate organization for the purpose of being in a position to take advantage of any disaster to our armies,or any occurrence which may cause popular discoutent, and by skilfully availing themselves of such an opportunity regain the power of which they have been deprived by the people. In this County we hear that Col. PIOLLET and Col. MEANS arc making speeches in which they are declaring that all party lines are swept away. We should be pleased to know when these gentlemen ascertained the fact.— We have yet to learn the first act or demon stration ever made by either which recognized the fact, otiier than the impudence of asking to control Republican votes. When did either of them ever support a man or a measure which was not of a partizan character ? This latest attempt to thrust a bigoted and unscrupulous partizan into the Legislature,from Rradford County, is the coolest of ail of Col. PIOI.LETS' schemes. If he was sincere in a desire to sink party and save the County ex pense why had he not the decency, in selecting a candidate, to consider the five thousand Re publican majority in the county. Was there no candidate to be found to make the great saving for the County,except a bitter prescrip tive Democrat, who hates every principle of the Republican party, and would rejoice in nothing so much as the political emharassmeut and downfall of the present National Admin istration ? Could not, we ask,the object sought after, have been attained by selecting a can didate who agrees in principle with nine tenths of the voters of the County ? The Republicans of the Caunty, should ask these questions, and receive satisfactory answers before tlirv con elude to send Col. .MEANS to the Legislature, even at the low figure of three dollars a day ! t&iF" We had hoped to have seen the elec tion pass off in this County without any strong appeals to the voters of either party to turn out to the polls. A canvass without any as perities, and a light vote seemed more in con sonance with the times. It is in the hope that the Republican vote would not be polled, that the Democratic vote could ail be got out, and that enough Republicans could be seduced into voting for Col. MEANS to secure his elec tion, that has brought out the scheme, to save the County so much money, and place Col MEANS in the Legislature. It would be a fine thing to herald abroad. The strong Repub lican County of Bradford electing the most rabid Democrat in its borders to the Legisla ture ! The Administration rebuked in Sena tor WU.MOT'S own County ! Pennsylvania op posed to the unconstitutional usurpations of President LINCOLN ! Such, we can readily imagine, would he the heading with which his election would be heralded by such sheets as the New York Day Hook, the Daily Newt, the li es/ Chester Jejfersoniun, if it should hap pen to occur, and those papers had not yet been squelched by the Government. If the Republicans of this County desire to disgrace themselves everlastingly, they can do it most effectually by allowing Col. MEANS to he elected now. If they will turn out, he is thousands of votes f rom victory. But there is not a Secession neighborhood in the Coun ty, wh re treason lurks, but will be most ac tive for him. Watch, and see if such is not the case. And these sympathizers with the treason of JEFF. DAVIS, w ill all at once become very patriotic, and talk about party being ob literated, and the necessity of reform, just as they are ready to talk about the horrors of war and hint of compromise. This scheme, Republicans, is not for the public good, but for your destruction. Do you believe the men engaged in it have any great regard for your interests? When and how have they ever shown it ? Are they the men to inaugurate a movement for .the reduction of salaries, except as an electioneering meas ure ? 6a?" The amazing impudence of the attempt now making to bamboozle the Republican voters of this County.almost reaches the hight of sublimity. The men who are engaged in traversing the County, talking so smoothly to their dear Republican friends, all the gentle men who have been accustomed to denomi nate us as Black Republicans, Negro Wor j shippers. Abolitionists, and sundry other names, signifying their love and high consid j erution. They are entitled to anything but support from a Republican who has any res pect for his party or love for its principles.— Have they changed ? The conversion is too miraculous for belief in these latter days.— They imagine that the Republicanism of the voters of this County is contained in their pockets, and that they aro ready to sink every other consideration, when they raise the cry of economy. LATEST WAR NEWS. Mnnson's Hill is at length in possession of our troop--, the enemy having abandoned that, and other positions in that direction, on Friday night. As no defensive works had been erected there except a few rude rifle pits, and no guns apparently had been put in position, it is quite possible that those points might have been taken possession of without waiting for their voluntary evacuation by the Rebels. Munson's 11 ill has been valuable to them only as point of observation of our work*, except, indeed, the empty satisfaction they may have derived from holding a place they could not have defended if attacked. That eatisfaction probably will be enhanced when they learn that we have lost more men in ta king possession of Falls Church, by one of these deplorable oversight, from which we have suffered so often, than if the position had been attacked when in their possession, and that our troops wantonly destroyed from $40,- 000 to $.">0,000 worth of property. It is now supposed that there has not been at any time more than 10,000 men in front of Washing ton. Successful foraging expeditions went out on Saturday in the neighborhood of Ed sell's Hill and to the Mount Vernon estate of the late John A. Washington, bringing away large quantities of hay and grain. One of the officers who had arrived at St. Louis from Lexington reports, on the author ity of a Rebel Quartermaster, that the num ber of rations iriven out to Price's command the day after the surrender of Lexington was thirty-four thousand. This force is rapidly augmenting from all quarters. Scouts report strong columns on the march northward, it is supposed to St Joseph, from Lexington. From Kentucky we learn that measures have been adopted to prevent the smuggling of arms into that State ; that two locks on Green River have been taken possession of by 000 Indiana troops ; that a regiment of Ohio cavalry liavs gone into camp near Covington; that the Rebels had been badly whipped at Mud River ; and that Union men are now flocking to Hawkins's aid from all direction. A writ of habeas corpus has been granted in the case of James B. Ciay, returnable before j Judge Catron to-day. Clay, together with' sixteen other Secessionists, has been committed to jail at Louisville. Bfe2r*Areonr readers aware that the liberal ity of the R publicans throughout the State, who have joined in nominating Union candi dates, ha> made it more than probable that a majority of the House will be composed of I)e mocrats. Such is the case, as is shown bv a table prepared by the editor ot the Piltsberg Gazette —a copy of which is now before us.— In that strong Republican county, the very modest request was made for two democratic members upon a Union ticket—which the Ga zettc demurred to, and showed by tiic figures, that the giving up of two Republicans in that County would turn the scale in the House of Representatives. Republicans in this Countv are now asked to support a bitter partizan, who is now and always will be, most unsparing in his hostility and denunciation of Republicanism. Are there no questions likely to arise which will make it advisable to have sound and judicious II -nub licans in the Legislature? Are all party Hues to he obliterated there ? Does anv one doubt but that a compact body of opposition mem bers will be in the House, who, while they make wholesale professions of patriotism, will he ready to adopt any measure calculated to embarrass the Government. Fellow Republicans! Are you ready to send an open and pestilent enemy to your principles to the Legislature upon such a shallow pre tense, as his election is asked for? Have you no principles at stake? Have you no anxiety to see the Government sustained and encourag ed in its endeavors to put down this Rebellion ? If you desire to sustain Representatives who have been tried and found faithful to the trust reposed in them, you will turn out to the polls and vote for Messrs. TRACY and Buss, w hose Legislative course has been approved by the Conventions of both parties in this County. hen men set themselves up as tem perance lecturers, they should be teetolisrs— when they preach up morality they should he virtuous—and when men setout upon a crusade against high salaries, they should at least have a clear record themselves. The public is are apt to doubt the sincerity of ex-office hold er who have grown rich from fees, when they declaim-against high salaries. We have no desire to accuse Messrs. PIOI.LET and MEANS of official misconduct—but they have both held office, aud we have never yet heard of their paying into the County Treasury any money ; when we do wc shall make a uote of it! They were both celebrated for charging and receiving all they were entitled to by law, without any serious mental disturbance on account of the oppressed and tax ridden pub lic. T-AF Col. MEANS' letter contains the follow ing sentence :—" Nor trill I claim nine hun dred miles in settling mileage." Now, if this means anything, it is a vile and mean insinua tion that Messrs. TRACT and Buss have been guilty of something of the kind. We are sur prised that such a dirty subterfuge should have been resorted to, where apparent candor aud truthfulness were so necessary. The Journals of the House of Representa tives show that Messrs. TRACT and Buss each charged and were allowed 400 miles circular, for travel ; certainly not unreasonable, not withstanding Col. MEANS' insinuation. ELECTION— Tuesday, Oct. 8. UTtST FROM THE DIR. I The Evacuation of Munson's Hill. ADVANCE UPON FALLS CHURCH. Collision Between our own Troops. Particulars of the Defence and Surrender of Lexington. THE EVACUATION OF MUNSON'S HILL. WASHINGTON,Sept. 29,1861. Munson's Hill will hereafter be the expres sion and measure of military false pretension. There are no iutrenchments there; have been no cam.on there. In the terrible batteries behind the hill there is but a derisive log, painted black, frowning upon the Federal army. The better opinion among the Regular offi cers is, that the retreat of the Rebel forces has at last commenced ; that the movement south ward of the army of the Potomac, long foreseen to be a military necessity, was pre cipitated yesterday by the culmination of in fluences which will demoralize and destroy the army. Where the enemy went to from Munson no one knows. It is a most suggestive fact that a lady with a child arrived here from Rich mond, via. Manassas and Fairfax. She met no obstructions in coming through the lines here tofore impassable. Our troops hold Leesburg Turnpike out to Falls Church. Munson's Hill is occupied by the sth Mic'ni gati and Falls Church by the 35th N V , 21 Maine and others. Avery large force is at hasid near these points. Mason's Mill on the Columbia turnpike, is deserted by the rebels, but not yet taken possession of by Union troops. There were many visitors to day to the rebel earthworks. Great amusement was caused by their imper fection and weakness. The troops have com menced wandering about and commit tints havoc. A great, number of houses have been burned, some of them belonging to Union peo pie. No effort was made by officers, apparent ly, to prevent t.hes depredations. At Mason's lltil a number of negroi s were found and taken into custody. They reported that they were employed to work upon tin intrenchinents. Tim Retiels began to abandon tlmir positions on Friday, and removed their li st reserves on Saturday morning. Our lints are now four miles ahead t>f Saturday's posi tions. ADVANCE UPON FALLS CHURCH COLLISION BETWEEN OUR OWN TROOPS. Tiiis morning, about half past 2. Gen. B; kcr's Brigade started from Chain Bridge, and a Brigade of Gen Fitz John Porter's Division also left Fort Corcoran,both advancing toward Falls Church. About one mile this side the skirmishers of the 4th Michigan of Porter's command came upon the skirmishers of Gen. linker's Califor nia Regiment, and, mistaking them lor the enemy, tired upon them. The fire was return ed, and shots exchanged for several minutes. Five men were killed and iitteen wounded. Meantime, a cavalry company came upon Gen. Baker's skiimishers. The lat'tr fired upon them, killing three horses Lieutenant Shrceves of Gen. Baker's 2d Regiment, who is severely wounded, states that he was shot by a rebel picket, and thought the above ac cident was brought on by the encounter in the dark, which was followed among the pickets. Among the killed are Corporals Putt hip and Phiison, ot Owen's Philadelphia Regiment. ENLISTMENTS IN PENNSYLVANIA PUILAIUU-111 A, Sept. 29, Isol. Gov. Curtin will ivsue u proclamation pro hibiting all persons from raising volunteers in Pennsylvania otherwise than by t. e authority of the Governor ; especially forbidding the raising ot volunteers tor regiments from other Mates,ami also torludding all citizens of Penn sylvania from enlisting in or attaching them selves to any such irregular and anL wful or ganizationa, and warning ail persons that in disobeying this proclamation they will be dis regarding the Government of the United States as well as defying the laws of the State, and violating their duties as sous and citizens of the Commonwealth. It is estimated that fi.OOO Pennsylvania volunteers buve already enlisted in other State regiments. Sr. Locts, Wednesday. Sept. 25, 1881. Lient Harris, of Col. Marshall's Illinois cavalry, who was in the battle at Lexington, arrived here today. He states that he dis guised himself in a uniform of the enemy after the surrender and passed through their lines, escaping withont taking the obligation. lie reports that a large amount of gold, cannon, and 4,51)0 rdle< ami muskets,the equip focnts ot Cols. .Marshall and .Mulligan's regi ments, a number ot wagons, and a considerable quantity of provisions fell iulo the hands ol the Rebels. '1 here were bnt 2,200 engeged on our side, the balance of the men being sick or absent, while the h.rce of the enemy is stated 30.000 | engaged, and 10,000 out on marauding expe i (litions. The surrender was made against Ihe strongest j protest of Col. Mulligan, who proposed to at j tack the enemy with the bayonet, and die with arms in their hands. The men were willing to follow him, but were so exhausted that they could have made bnt feeble resistance. On Wednesday, the 10th, Gen Price, hav- I he en re-enforced by Gens. Gre< n and Har i rts, commenced a most determined siege. The tight lasted from 9 o'clock Wednesday morning till 4 o clock on Friday afternoon,during which lime the fighting was so incessant that onr men had neither time to eat or sleep, and water was very scarce. ; lhe enemy erected breastworks of hemp bales, and fired upon the Federal garrison front tree-tops, hillsides,and roofs of houses. Several charges were made by the Rebels, each of which were repulsed with considerable loss. In the struggle on Wednesday tor the pos session of the ferry-boats, two of onr cannon were captured, but were retaken after a severe st niggle. The report from Qtiir.cy to The Chicago T'thune, that Gen. Sigel had attacked Gen. Pnce at Lexington, is utterly false. Geu fcj'g-l has been here several week-, and Gen.
