ILLEGAL ENLISTMENTS'.
A case occurred not long since in the upper
part ot this Couuty which excited a good de
gree of feeling. It seems that JOHN 11. HIN
MAN, a few days above seventeen years of age,
was over-persuaded by an older companion to
enlist in the volunteer service of the State of
New York at Waverly. llis parents, know
ing their son, on account of physical debility,
unfit for the service, remonstrated against his
removal. But the recruiting officer was deaf
to every objection, or offer to refer the case
to the legal tribunals for determination ; and
finally sent an armed force to the house of the
parents in the night, threatening they would
take the recruit " dead or alive " away with
them. The father uecompauied the men, still
remonstrating, while the guard declared on
being reinforced at the State line, there was
not men enough in Pennsylvania to keep their
victim in the State. Young HIXMAX was hur
ried across the line into the rail-way cars, and
immediately taken to New York ci'y. Here,
the answer to the reuewed remonstrances of
the father, was a threat to send him to Port
LaFayette, if he did not leave the camp forth
with.
On his return home, several of our citizens
whose sympathies were aroused by the circum
stances, became interested in measures of re
dress. C. L. WARD, Esq., volunteered his
services, and witnesses were brought before
Judge MERCUR, who heard and certified the
evidence in the case. Toe result is shown in
the following correspondence, which exhibits
a ready sympathy and prompt action on the
part of Governor CURTIN ; and also a quick
souse of justice in Governor MOXGAN. \oung
HINMAN was discharged at once, and meaus
of transportation furnished him to return home.
We trust it will be the last case of the illegal
enlistment of minors under eighteen years of
age in this rcgicu :
TOTVANDA, BRADFORD COUNTY, )
Oct. 10, Iso 2. (
To His EXCELLENCY, THE GOVERNOR :
I beg to enclose herewith, the Depositions
taken, accompanying the petition of a distress
ed father, in a case which I think justly claims
your Excellency's interposition and relief. In
what little 1 have undertaken in the affair, I
have not acted jprojexsii/nally : nor is there in
it in the remotest degree, any feeling of a mere
political or partisan character. Indeed, Ibe
lieve both the petitioner and all the witnesses
are your Excellency's political friends. I ad
dress you in their behalf, simply as a neighbor
ai.d fellow citizen of wronged and distressed
persons : my appeal is to you as the chosen
guardian of the l ights and peace ol our be
loved Commonwealth.
As vour Excellency's personal friend, 1
would gladly in these distracted times, have
saved you all trouble in this case, by giving it
another direction, if I could fairly have done
60. But the father is a poor mechanic, una
ble, evcu if it were likely to avail him, to em
ploy legal counsel in New York, or to bear
he expense of pursuing his claim in the Courts
oi' that State.
This affair lias created much feeling here
amongst all classes of our people ; being liter
ally a forcible abduction in the night, by an
armed force, ot a born and resident citizen of
Peuusylvauia, who was hurried across the line
of the State, tauntingly and avowedly, to avoid
the interposition of our courts of law.
The father has a legal right to his son's ser
vices under our State laws, as well as those of
the United States, (the son being under 18
years of age,) against all military claim, and
HO matter what the sou himself may have rep
resented his own age to be ; and the Courts
would order his discharge upou the proofs em
bodied in the accompanying papers.
I presume your Excellency will have no far
ther trouble than merely to send those proofs
forward to the Governor of New York, ask
ing a discharge of the boy at bis bands—he
being Commander in Chief in that State of
forces not mustered into the service of the
United States ; —which is the case [ am in
formed of the regiments now commanded by
Major Willard at "Camp Greeu."
I think I know your Excellency too well,
to feel there is any necessity of adding a sin
gle wotd to these proofs, to induce your ear
liest sympathy. Nor would I feel it respect
ful to do so—having seen recently that even
the Governor of North Carolina, iu the region
and iu the midst of the rage of the present re
bellion, has shown such a souse of the rights
of a sovereign State, and the sanctity of indi
vidual freedom under them, that he rescued
by a positive and unconditional demand oue
of his citizens from the power of the imperious
and almost imperial President of the new sui
disant Southern Confederacy !
I have the honor to he, with much e.-teem,
Your Excellency's obedient servant,
(Signed) " C. L. WARD.

NEW-YORK ELECTION,
Just as we were going to press, a despatch
was received at this place, staling that SEY
MOUR was elee'ed Governor of New-York,
by 10,000 majority. The official return will
probably swell his majority to fifteen or twen
ty thousand.
OS?" The most interesting war news to day
is comprised in the late exploits of the rebel
privateer steamer .Alabama (200), in which
Captain Raphael Semines has been doing so
much destruction to the merchant marine of
the North, aud whose daring adventures the
Navy Department, appears to take so little
trouble to check. The pirate is now close up
on our coast. From intelligence received by
the brig Baron de Castine at Boston it ap
pears that she captured no less than seven
vessels within a few weeks past, and destroyed
them all except two, which Capt. Semmes re
leased upcu the master giving bonds, oue of
them—the ship Tonawauda iu eighty thous
and dollars, and the other the brig Barou de
Castine iu six thousand, payable to the Presi
dent of the Confederate States after peace is
established. The last appearance of the Ala
barna was in latitude thirty-nine north, longi
tude sixty nine west, oil' the Capes of Dela
ware, aud directly in the track of the Califor
nia steamers.
The news from the army of the Poto
mac is interesting. General Pleasanton came
up with the rebels at Philomout on Saturday,
and after an artillery fight of five hours' dura
tion, drove them back to Uniou, a town three
miles beyoud. They proved to be a portion
of Stuart's cavalry supported by one battery.
Yesterday morning General Pleasanton re
newed the attack at Union, aud being rein
forced by a brigade ofiafautry at teu o'clock, ;
pressed the enemy back, until at one o'clock ;
P. M., our troops were in possession of the j
town. From three o'clock until dark the fir
ing iu that direction was very heavy ; but
the particulars of what was going on were not j
known. Snicker's Gap was also taken posses
sion of by a portion of our advance. Three j
brigades of rebel iufautry were observed inov- !
ing in eolumn up the inouutaio. A battle in
that vicinity very soon is not an improbable
event.
GREAT INCREASE OF THE ARMY.—Our ar
my, during the past two or three months, has
has grown enormously in numbers. Probably
more than three-fourths of the troops ordered
under the last two calls of the President are
now ready for the field. There is nearly a ;
quarter of a million of Union soldiers on the :
Potomac. Gen. MeClellau has attested that}
the new troops fight like veterans. They are ,
full of enthusiasm, health and pluck. We are
now iu a fur stronger condition for attack
than we ever have been before. We are
stronger than we will be in the insuing Spring,
even if the conscription is enforced—should
our army winter iu inactivity ; for the wast
age of uu inactivity Winter is anpalliug.
—
Ask? 1 * Gov. CURTIN upou application to the
War Department has beeu authorized to per
mit the drafted militia to become volunteers
by changing their term of service from uii e
months to three years. Inquiries aud sugges- j
tious of this character have been received '
from all parts of the State, aud the plan will
doubtless result iu the conversion of many of
the drafted mifitia into volunteers for three
years. This is an important move, as it prob- j
ably entitles those who change their time of '•
service to the bounty, advance pay, premium, !
and in fact all the advantages heretofore eu- !
joyed. Camps of Rendezvous will be estab
lished at Pittsburg, Philadelphia aud Harris
burg.
HOSPITAL SUPPLIES WANTED.—The tele
graph brings.us the intelligence that hospital
stores, such as clothing, bed covering aud diet,
are urgently needed for the sick aud wounded '
soldiers in the hospitals at Louisville. The •
recent large arrivals of wounded from the bat
tles of Pt-rryville and tbe Ilatchie have ex
hausted the supply, and an appeal is made
thiough the telegraph to the people of the ■
whole country to send part of their donations
to Louisville fcr the benefit of the suffering
heroes of the battles of Chaplin Iliils and
luka.
£s?° Unless everybody conspires to lie out
rageously, the condition of the rebel army is
extremely uncomfo. table. A young man who
was in Winchester on Saturday evening, rep
resents the conditiou of that army at that
point as awful beyoud description. He says
that small pox and typhoid fever are ravag
ing fearfully, and that at least fifty or sixty
are dying daily. He counted in one spot 50
dead bodies which hud remained uuburied for
two or three days.
JEQ 1 "* A'ast quantities of supplies, clothing
aud shoes are being forwarded to General Me-
Clellau but still it is stated that many regi
ments are almost naked and without shoes, a
conditiou of things which, we trust, will he
speedily remedied, aud which should uct have
beeu permitted to exist at all.
A scouting party iu the direction of
of Dumfries report that the rebels are in force
at Warreutown,aud are receiving fresh troops.
They met a large body of rebel cavalry within !
seven miles of Dumfries, and were compelled
to fail back. j
SUMMARY OF NEWS.
Official despatches from Geueral MARCY
recount the results of our advance to Snicker's
Gap. When General HANCOCK arrived at the
Gap it was held by the enemy's cavalry, who
were driven out by a strong force of nearly
six thousand of our infantry. The rebelk made
au effort to retake this important position,
but were again driven back by the fire of our
rifled gun?, aud at six o'clock Mouday after
noon, General MARCY says that General MC
CLELLAN was in full possession of the Gap.—
The rebel forces of Geuerals JACKSON and
HILL are reported to be in the opposite ral
ley.
Meantime General PLEASANTON has beeu
pushing his reconaoisauce forward with much
effect. After the artillery firing ceased be
tween him aud STUART, in front of Philomont
on Sunday afternoon the rebels came out in
to au apple orchard aud fired from behind the
trees. They were finally repulsed —we losing
one man killed and fourteen wounded. Im
mediately after the occupation of Philomont
General PLEASANTON sent a detachment of the
Eighth Pennsylvania cavalry, under Major
KEENAN, down the read leading towards Bloom
field. When they approached the woods,
about a mile distant, artillery opened upou
them. Presently the enemy brought tw o guns
out ia a field to the left of the road, aud con
tinued the fire. A sectiou of Lieutenant PEN
NINGTON'S battery was brought up on the hill
near the town aud returned the enemy's fire
with fine effect. Our cavalry engaged their
skirmishers, and after a fight of four hours the
enemy were driveu from their position. Gen
eral MCCLELLAN and his stuff got a splendid
reception from the troops ou visiting the lront
at Purcellville Monday evening.
A train of cars, which was sent up on Fri
day night from Fairfax station to Bull Run
station, was attacked at the latter point by a
body of rebel cavalry, and about one hundred
men who accompanied it were taken prison
ers. The train was run off the tiaek and the
locomotive overturned, but no attempt was
made to destroy them.
It appears from our Southern news that the
people of the eastern portion of North Caro
lina arc alarmed for their safety, and are in
doubt as to whether the rebel government w ill
protect them, and they are beginning 10 re
move their slaves to some other region.
There is reliable information from Richmond
that there is no force on the western side of
that city. On the eastern side WISE'S com
mand is stationed. At Gordousviile there are
about two thousand, a considerable number of
sick and a large quantity of supplies. At Cul
pepper Court House are two small regiments
and a number of sick. The rebels at these
points are said to be filled with anxiety, aud
constantly expecting au advance of our forces.
£-i?*Col. TKWIS, commanding the 22J lowa,
with detachments from his own and the Ist,
24-th, and 55th Missouri Regiments, with a
section of Stranger's Battery, attacked 1,500
Rebels at Putnam's Ferry, in Southern Mis
souri, ou the 27th iust., killing several and
taking over forty prisoners.
Geueral Ilalleck, for the first time
since he was appointed General in-Chief, paid
a visit on Sunday to a regiment in camp—
namely, the l iGth New Voik, Halleck infant
ry, raised iu his native place, Oneida couuty.
£s?° The New-Albany (lud.) Ledger, of
Friday evening says : " We to day heard Gen.
ROVRSEAU express his opinion of Gen. BUEI.L'S
campaign in Kentucky. He asserts that the
complaints of inefficiency aud want of energy
cade by the partisan Press against Gen Bu-
ELL are unjust, ungenerous and false. He had
done all that any man could do under the cir
cumstances. Under the wisdom of this Gen
eralship BRAGG had been driven, almost desti
tute of subsistence, out of Kentucky, and the
State saved from the horrors of war within
its owu border, lie fully vindicated Gen.
BCEI.L from the slanderous charges made
against him, and he further declares that he
has the unbounded confidence of every General
aud intelligent Field Officer iu his command."
" Occasional," the Washington corres
pondent of the Philadelphia J'rcss, explains
the presence of Gen. BANKS iu New-York as
connected with a projected expedition to Tex
as. lie is to open his headquarters here for
its organization. This expedition is to proceed
direct to the coast and obtain a lodgement,
and is to receive co operation from another ex
pedition now organizing in the West under
Gen. MCCI.ERNAKD, which is to proceed down
the Mississippi, clearing away aii obstructions
on its passage. The occupation of Texas by
the National troops will give an opportunity
to the Uuion element, known to exist there,
to show itself, and will seriously cripple the
bogus Confederacy in more ways than one,
and especially in the item of supplies.
OUR GUARDIAN BIRD IN BATTLE.—In a let
ter dated at Corinth, Oct. 12, written by
Chester I). Howe, of Co. E, 12ih Illinois
Volunteers, is the following. Speaking of
the recent fight at Corinth, he says :
* * * " f phe finest thing I ever saw
was a live American eagle, carried by the Bth
lowa, iu the place of a flag. It would fly off
over the enemy during the hottest of the fight,
then would return and seat himself upon his
pole, clap his pinions, shake his head and start
again. Many aud hearty were the cheers that
arose from our lines as the old feliow would
sail arouud, first to the right and then to the
left, and always return to hi 3 post, regardless
of the storm of leaden hail that was flying
arouud him. Something seemed to tell us
that that battle was to result in our favor,
and when the order was given to charge evc-rv I
man went at them with fixed bayonet, anil
the enemy scattered in all directions, leaving
us in possession of the battle-field."
THE PIRATE ALABAMA.
More of Her Depredations ou llie Ocean.
The brig Baron de Castine, of Boston, Cap
tain Sanders, from Bangor 19th inst., for
Gardens, arrived at Boston yesterday. She
had been overhauled by the rebel pirate Ala
bama, or No. 290, Captain Semmes, aud com
pelled to put into the port.
The Baron de Castine reports that on the
29th ult., in latitude thirty nine degrees north,
longitude sixty-nine degrees west, was captur
ed, according to the report of Captain Sand
ers, by the British pirate Aluhama. Captain
Semmes agreed to liberate the brig for a bond
of six thousand dollars, payable to the Presi
dent of the Confederate States thirty days af
ter peace is declared. Captain Sauders gave
the bond, and was then informed that he
must take as passengers the crews, numbering
forty-five in -all, of several American vessels
which had been previously captured and burn
ed by the Alabama. The crews were sent
cn board the brig ; but extra provisions were
refused, and Captain Sauders bore away for
the nearest port to land them.
The following is the statement of Capt.
Harding, of the Bark Lamplighter :
On the 15th ult., at daylight, in latitude
41 degrees thirty minutes uorth, longitude fif
ty nine degrees seventeen minutes west, wind
sonth, with thick weather, saw a ship standing
to the southward. In half an hour the weath
er cleared up a little,aud she altered her course
and stood across our bow with the Brilish
flag flying. 1 then made her out to be a steam
er. When within a mile he fired a gun, haul
ed down the British flag and ran up the Con
federate flair. 1 hove to, and he sent on board
and demanded my papers, and declared me a
prize We were sent on board the steamer.
I was allowed to take one trunk, and my offi
cers and crew one bag each. Captain Sem .es
ordered his first lieutenant to go on board of
the baik and burn her immediately. I begged
him to save my ship ; but he replied, " I hope
to be able to serve you a damned sight worse
yet." They then went on boaid to burn my
ship. 1 was permitted to go with them. —
When we went into the cabin they asked for
liquor. I gave them ail 1 had. They drank
some, and emptied the remainder on the floor.
Then they tonk the oil cans out o( the locker,
and poured oil on the floor, and then, at eight
o'clock in the morning, they set the vessel ou
fire. We were tiieu transferred to the steam
er and put in irons, aud almost starved. The
pirate then continued to cruise under sail, but
with steam up, until she captured all the
above vessels. The crews were all pat in irons
as soon as captured. Those on hoard of the
Alabama, had full files of the NEW ORK HER
ALD and. pictorial papers containing an account
of the former capture by the Alabama. Capt.
H. was informed by the second lieutenant and
several of the petty officers that their next
dc.-t'.nation was New Yoik, as they meant to
throw a few shells into that city. Capt. 11.
represents the Alabama as vtrv formidable,
but he does not think she is as fast as has been
reported. When he left her the crew were
mounting two large pivot guns, one forward
aud the other aft. lie thinks they were one
hundred pounders.
Captain Srnail of the ship Lafayette,reports
that when he was introduced to Captain
Semmes, he produced his British consular cer
tificate, and remarked to Capt. Semmes, that
he supposed that would be sufficient protection.
Capt. Semmes replied : —" The New York
people are getting ve;y smart, but it won't
save you ; its all a damned hatched up mess."
He then gave orders to burn the ship.
It is evident that the Alabama intends a
raid upon our coast, if u t a dash into one
of our harbors. He may keep his promise
good and rut: into the harbor oi Now York for
the purpose of throwing a few shot or shell
into the city. It could be done, and it would
not be amiss under any circumstance to be
ready for him should he venture his head into
the lion's moutti
He may be waiting for the California steam
er, for he i 3 not far from their track ; and
would like nothing better than to fob a cool
million byway of paying expenses. There is
no knowing what the rascal mav be up to.—
We may expect to hear of almost anything
being done by him, and the probabilities are
that we shall have to recount almost daily,
now that he is on the coast, of vessels being
destroyed or bonded.
It is his intention, beyond doabt, so make
himself and vessel a terror to all merchantmen
carrying the flag of the United States ; and
thus far his career has enabled him to carry
out his views most thoroughly. Good fortune
may stop him, however. Uor cruisers may
stop him, and a reward for his head should
be offered, as in days of old ; for he cannot
be considered in any light but that of a pi
rate of the first water. The next few weeks
may put au end to his present business, and it
is to be hoped by all that it will ; for it is a
shame npou us that this vidian is longer per
ID it ted to commit his ravages upou the high
seas with the greatest impunity.
#3*" A sharper recently succeeded in swind
ling the Jersey Shore, Lock Haven and Belle
fonte banks to the amount of nearly nine
thousand dollars. He also tried the game at
the West Branch B ink, but did not succeed.
His mode of operations was about as follows:
He procured elsewhere, from responsible par
ties, sight drafts, for a few dollars, ou New-
York. By some chemical or other process he
removed the lines naming the small amounts
aud left the drafts blank, to lie filled to any
amount he might choose. Ou coming into
this section of country he represented himself
as an extensive fur and hide merchant, with
stores in Chicago and New York, and set a
number of men at work procuring furs aud
hides for him To pay for these, as he repre
sented, he filled his drafts, drew the money
fioin the hanks, and theu skedaddled, leaving
banks aud hide and fur gatherers to gather
wisdom from their experience. The scamp
conducted operations ou an extensive scale,
and was thoroughly conversant with every
thing he undertook—talked business and per
centage like a Girard or an Aslor, and drove
everything like a locomotive.— Lycoming C!az.
ON Saturday, a gentleman from Charles
town, Ya., arrived in Cincinnati. He reports
that he lett there a few days since, in com
pany with several other citizens of that place,
for Cincinnati, and that all save himself were
captured by the rebels and taken back to
Charlestown. lie states that LORIXG has been

FROM M'CLELLAN'S ARMY.
An Artillery Bailie at Pliillimwil, Va.
HkAMQUAKTKItS ARMY OF THK PoTOMAC,)
November 2—9:15 P. M. \
Oen. Pleasonfon came up with the enemy's
cavalry ami artillery at Phillimont, about i
o'clock yesterday. The light, which was con
ducted wholly bv artillery, lasted about live
hours, when the enemy retreated to Union, a
small town three miles beyond. Our loss was
one killed and fourteen wounded. The ene
my's force consisted of a portion ol Stuart's
cavalry and one battery. Five of them are
known to have been kilied.
This morning General Pleasanton renewed
the attack at 8 o'clock. At 10 o'clock he was
reinforced by a brigade of iufantry At 1
o'clock Ihe rebels fell back from Union, and
our troops occupied the town. Our loss, up
to 3 o'clock, was one killed and four wounded
During the action a rebel caissou was ex
ploded by one of our shells.
The enemy's loss is not known.
The firing ia that direction was very heavy
from 3 o'clock till dark, but the result is uot
known.
General M'Clellaa visited the froat during
the afternoon.
A heavy dusk was observed to-day at Ash
by's Gap. In what direction the rebel troops
were moving is not known, the distance being
too great.
Another portion of our army took posses
sion ol Snicker's Gap to day.
Three brigades of rebel troops were, at Inst
advices, advancing up the west side of the
mountain in two columns Firing followed,
but the results are not yet known.

The defeat of Hon. GAI.u.-HA A. GKOW is
justly regarded by ne-arly all of our loyal ex
changes as a public calamity. By his utiwtv
veriug, persevering, and unflinching devotion
throughout ail his Congressional career to the
passage of the Homestead Bill, he has endear
ed his name to the hearts of the laboring poor
man everywhere. "Land for the Landless"
was not with him a political catch-word with
which to win votes. It was with him a deep
well-settled conviction, and he followed it vsi'.h
tin earnestness worthy both of him auo it, un
til he saw it adopted as one cf the principles
of a gr at National party ; and finally under
the sanction oi' that party he saw this ids ear
ly conviction become a fixed tact established
by law.
Besides his devotion to the interests of the
poor indus. th us citizen, he has ever been the
determined and uualterable friend of Freedom.
Hi 3 opposition to human -Livery was a natu
ral sequence of his devotion to free home
steads for all ; for if the poor have a right to
a portion of the national domain, have not all
men the right to the entire fruits of their la
bor? He who answers one of these prop< i
tions affirmatively, must, to be con. i-tent, ai
so answer the other affirmatively. And this
is why every Northern man voted ft </• tlie p.-is
sage of the Homestead Law, tint] every slave
holder voted ag'iinsl it.
Although Mr. GROW is defeated for Con
giess, he is not politically den a mid btuictl, n
the pro slavery politicians and rewv-papets
would fain flitter themselves. The causes
which produced hi.; defeat will not always ex
ist, and we hope to see him take his place
again in the councils of the nation, where Li
knowledge of public affairs will be of bent fit
to his constituents and to his country. But
should his public career be now ended, which
on account of !is ill health is quite probable,
his name will be handed down iu history among
those v.ho have attempted to benefit the white
race without binding still tighter the chains
of the biack ; and it will Le honored when
the names of the freedom-hating political
place-mongers who are now jubilant at Lis de
leat shall be buried iu oblivion.— Tioga, Agi
