ADDITIONAL REBEL ACCOUNTS OF THE CHICKAMAUGA BATTLE. REBEL ➢IANILUY'RES AROUND CIIIVAN001:11, Despatch from General Bragg—Order of Lee—General Rood Recovering. [From the Richmond Enquirer, Sept 23.] ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS OP THE RATTLE .CIS The news of the late victory over Rosecrans by General Bragg begins to come in slowly: The Chat tanooga Rebel of the 22d - says that the battle of Chickamauga has proven the most extensive and desperate struggle of the Western campaign, and it is not yet over. The fatality .among the field officers is unprecedented. - - Every train, and almost every de- apatch - from the front, has brought the announce- ment of the fall of another and still another promi nent 'officer, indicating the desperate nature of the conflict, the splendid and impetuous charges of our I own troops, and the stubborn and desperate resist. ance of the foe. Already a major,general and seve ral brigadier generals are numbered among the noble dead of our aide. It is impossible to get any accu rate account of the enemy's losses, but the Held was literally strewn with their dead, and dodbt less the mortality among their officers has been equal, if not greater than ours, .notwithstanding the enemy have trained, sharpshooters for the ex press purpose of picking off our commanders. - - The latest advices from Chattanooga state that the enemy occupied the place in force, and that another fight-was - hourly expected. -The Federate were cer tainly in possession of the' place at one o'clock on Wednesday. Mr. Rushton, agent of the. East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad, endeavored to . reach Chatta nooga with an engine, for the purpose of ascertain ing the condition of the track-via Cleveland. The report made of this reconnoissance, at Dalton, Wednesday evening, was, that on reaching a point within five miles of Chattanooga they met Pegrare's cavalry, about one o'clock yesterday, who ordered - the . party back to Dalton, and informed them the Federals were still in the . town. Pegram had re ceived orders to fall back to Chickamauga. When .the engine passed Cleveland, on its return, Bird's . v brigade of Federal,cavalry were reported within '- six miles of the [town. Our forces stationed there being small in numbers, were obliged to leave. • • It is evident we must have another struggle be fore Rosecrans is driven across the river. The two hostile forces were larger in number than any °them that have heretofore met in the West. The battle was fought in °Moose county, about seven or eight miles west of Ringgold, and between Pea Vine creek and Ohickamauga, opening in a series of sharp skirmishes Friday evening, and re suming the following day in a continuous and inces sant battle from seven o'clock A. M., briskly all along our lines, until five o'clock P. M. Our right was in the direction of Ringgold, under Longstreet, Hill in the centre, and Polk and Buckner on the left. On Friday, the 18th, at twelve M., the artillery opened on the extreme left, and Patton Anderson's division was engaged with the enemy in a series of skirmishes, under a hill on the left, until evening. The next day, Saturday, the 19th, the fighting com menced along the whole line about seven in the morning, and lasted until far into the night. It was one incessant roar of artillery and rattle of small arms all day long—no cessation. At five P. ➢I. there was a temporary lull, the firing ceased, and it was believed the day's work was over without any decisive results to either side, and a heavy list of casualties on bath. In a short time after five Gen. Polk again ordered an advance to drivethe enemy from a strong position he had taken, and it was in this charge that Preston Smith was killed. Tur ner's battery fought splendidly. The artillery fire from that battery is said to have excelled anything of the sort ever before witnessed in its terrible ef fect upon the enemy. The battery was publicly complimented by General Cheatham. Immediately after the action the General and his staff rode up and expressed the thanks of the whole division for the valuable services they had rendered. On Sunday the first guns opened at 9 o'clock in the morning. It was intended to begin the fight at daylight, but, through some mistake of the courier, the bider was not received that early. The fighting was not so incessant as on Saturday, but quite as desperate at times, and the enemy was driven from every strong position. We have not learned the re sult of yesterday's fighting, but we are assured by friends from the front that everything is favorable to our arms. The confidence and spirit and enthu siasm of the troops are unbounded, and every one seems to feel sure of a victory. ' The Atlanta Appeal of the 24th says: Everything now indicates an early battle on the Tennessee, and the shock may take place at any hour. "We are confronting the enemy two miles from Chatta nooga," this morning, is the word from above and, as we know our troops are eagerly panting for an other opportunity terpunish their foe, and-think our commanders appreciate the importance of no longer delaying, we look for another battle at once. Roseerans has certainly been concentrating his forces since Sunday, and that he has been able to gather as much physical force as he lost may be true. Burnside'a disposable force May have joined him, and his garrison left - lower down and north of the river may have been hurried to his support. And it will be remembered that the letter of our correspon dent, "Kingston," published yesterday (who writes advisedly), informs us that five brigades - of infantry, one of cavalry and several batteries of artillery left Huntsville, AM., on the 13th inst. If this force had not come in time to participate in the late battle they will have had time to make the march ere this. It is the impression of our officers that they were engaged before, but the Federal officers captured say not. It may be so. 1863. THE FRUITS OF THE VICTORY The fruits of the victory at Chickamauga ate officially stated as follows : ,Seven thousand prisoners. Forty pieces of artillery. Fifteen thousand stand of small arms. Thirty stand of colors. And the enemy has been driven back to his fortifl cations on the river. DESCRIPTION OF THE EATTLE-FIELD. A correspondent of the Atlanta lnlelligencer thus describes the battlefield of Chickamauga : The battle. field extended about ten miles, and the carnage was the most frightful yet witnessed, far ex ceeding Chanoellorville, Gettysburg, Murfreesboro, or Shiloh. The constant, and terrific roar of artil lery never was exceeded. The fighting of our men on Sunday evening, in carrying the enemy's en trenchments, was magnificent, grand. and terrible. They faced the whirlwind of lead and iron with the steadiness and composure of- a summer's rain. Then came charge after charge, the frightful gaps in our lines being immediately closed up, and, with the yell of demons, our battle cry arose above the roar and crash of musketry and artillery, while the terror stricken fce fell back aghast as our braves mounted and carried their entienchments," line after line, over the dead carcasses of the Abolition foe, who fell in heaps in the pits they had but dug for themselves. The battle•fleid that night by moonlight—the glit tering beams shining on the ghastly faces of the dead, distorted in expression from the wounds of their torn and mangled bodiei, with heaps of the wounded and dying, with scattered arms strewn everywhere, with broken artillery carriages and caissons, dead horses, and all that makes up the debris of a bloody contested field—was terrible and appalling. GENERAL GREGG, Olif TEXAS The Huntsville Confederate states that this gallant officer was shot in the neck during the first day's engagement at Chickamauga, the ball passing out of the lower part of his face, inflicting a very se rious wound, but not regarded fatal. He was brought to this place , by this morning's train, and is at the house of a friend in this vicinity. We have not had an opportunity to converse with him ;'but, from those who did, we learn that he estimates our force in Saturday's fight ate thirty thousand, and states that they drove the enemy, who were also in heavy force, a mile and a half, and he understood that Ole hurne's division had flanked the enemy's right wing and got in their rear, which, if true, would cut off their retreat to Chattanooga. He fell early in action. While advancing with his brigade, Gan. Cheatham sent him word to be cautious, and not mistake his men, who were also advancing for the enemy. He rode forward to reconnoitre, and had wheeled his horse to return, when a platoon of the enemy fired on him, wounding him as before stated. lie fell from his horse insensible, and consciousness was just returning as the enemy had stripped him of his sword and spurs. ' They, probably, had not time to get his watch or other valuables, before our troops advanced, when he was taken to the rear. DESPATCH PROM GENERAL BRAGG NEAR CHATTANOOGA, Sept. 24, 1863. The report from General Hood last night was favorable. Our prisoners will reach 7,000, of whom 2,000 are wounded. We have 25 stands of colors and guidons, 36 pieces of artillery, and have already col lected over 15,000 small arms over and above those left on the field by our killed and wounded. More are being found. BRAXTON BRAGG. CONGRATULATORY - ORDER OF GENERAL LEE [Correspondence of the Richmond Enquirer.)

A heavy Confederate force was before Chattanooga and Harrison., ATLANTA, Sept. 26.—Our lines extend around Chattanooga, within striking distance of the enemy. Our forces are well up to the front. Full supplies of commissary and hospital stores are close at hand. On Wednesday night our cavalry occupied Coop er's gap, on Lookout 'mountain, twelve miles from Chattanooga. That night General Wheeler made a reconnoissance towards Lookout mountain, found an infantry force of the enemy and drove them away. The mountain is now held by General Longstreet. The enemy's operations are plainly visible from Lookout. Rosecrans has two lines of defence on the road to Chattanooga, six hundred yards apart. He has one pontoon bridge across the river, which is crowded with wagons, .and the impression is, that he brings them over as they are needed. General Longstreet commands the river and rail road below Chattanooga.

The bridge over the East Chickamauga river is re paired, and trains will go to our lines tomorrow. [THIRD DESPATCH.] ATLANTA, Sept. 26 —Ofticeis from General Hood's division train, just in, report that they left Lookout Mountain yesterday morning. That important posi tion was then held by Hood's division, now com manded by General Jenkins. It is not :unposed that an assault will be made, as we command the situation, and need not sacrifice the lives of our troop. When the train left the burnt bridge station this morning heavy cannonading was beard. On Thursday night the enemy made two attempts on our lines. They were driven back both times to their entrenchments. Further news of a cheering character has been received, but it is not deemed prudent to obmmuni cate it. New' front Rebel Papers—Accident at Nashville NEW Yoi u Oct.

It is stated by way of Wash- ington that the situation at Chattanooga was satis factory at the last accounts. Many wild rumors are afloat of disaster and success. The Commercial's Nashville despatch says that on the 29th ult., three hundred rebel prisoners, confined in the third story of the Knoxville House, an un finished building, made a rush for breakfast. The stairs gave way and they fell to the basement. Several were taken out dead and ninety-six wound ed, many having both arms and lege broken. The Seceih of the city thought it a plot to murder the prisoners, and collected in such numbers that they bad to be dispezned by the guard. A heavy rain Bet in this morning. The oity is very dull. THE SIEGE OF CHARLESTON. Telegrams from Charleston. and Richmond Papers The Charleston Courier of the 24th says that the Yankees made their appearance at Batteries Gregg and - Wagner in large force on Wednesday morning, and appeared to be—working with considerable energy. They seemed to pay no attention to the fire irora our batteries, but kept on digging and hauling sand and timber to various positions around Gregg and Wagner. Some six or seven wagons and teams were engaged at this work all day Wednesday. The enemy also yesterday unmasked several guns mounted on Gregg and Wagner, cutting away the embrasures, &c., and seemingly getting ready for action. A few shots were fired by the enemy in the after noon from Gadberry Hill at Battery Simkins. About five o'clock the enemy's battery on Black Island opened onßattery Haab ell, on James Island. Battery Haskell replied with vigor. A schooner from the northward came in heavily laden, and anchored abreast of Gregg's Hill, and commenced discharging. The Ironsides,. monitors, and others are at their old anchorage, and remain quiet. A salute was fired la all our batteries and Forts. Moultrie and Sumpter yesterday, in honor of the great victory won by General Bragg's army. Fort Sumpter fired a salute of thirteen guns. The enemy's fleet is reported to have fired a salute Tuesday nigN to honor of Farragut's arrival at this post. Our batteries Were keeping up a heavy tire last night, with only en occasional response from the enemy. TELEGRAMS TO. THE RICHMOND ENQUIRED.. CHARLESTON, Sept. 26, 1863. The Yankees have worked very little at their bat teries to-day. Our fire is keeping them close under cover. Our mortars, on Sullivan's island work ad mirably. The shells are thrown with accuracy, and fall with accuracy, in the middle of the enemy's batteries, at nearly every fire. There was again considerable motion in the fleet to-day. It is supposed that Admiral Farragut was visiting each vessel. - CHARLESTON, Sept. 27, 1863. The enemy is evidently . attemptingto make him self impregnable on Morris Island. Besides enlarg ing and strengthening Batteries Gregg and Wagner, he has erected palisades around hie works to guard against any eiforeon our part to take the island by assault. The enemy has teams of mules constantly trans porting supplies, &c., from South Island to Cum mings, Point, notwithstanding our fire. • Our James Island batteries were shelling the enemy briskly last night. THE WAR IN VIRGINIA. Operations . Against the Guerillas Captain Means, of the Independent Rangers, with his command left aarnpneer Leesburg, last week, and skirmished toward Strasburg and Winchester, and returned by way of Millwood and Berryville. „As they were'crossing the Blue Ridge at Snicker's Gap, they met a force of 116 of Moseby's men, under command of a lieutenant, and after a pretty hard fight routed the whole party, capturing nineteen men. These men who were captured say that Moseby has had his leg taken off. Captain Means reports the Shenandoah Valley now clear of the rebels, except, small squads, which cannot do much harm. The rebel guerilla, Major White, left with his force last Thursday night a week, with the apparent in tention of joining the main body of the rebel army. THE STITES IN REBELLION. Extracts from the Message of the Governor of South Carolina EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, COLII3II3IA, September 21, 1263. Gentlemen of the Senate and Rouse of Representatives: The day of your annual meeting is so near at hand that I should not have convoked you again in extra session, but Tor what I deem a pressing, emergency, admitting of no delay. The progress of the war for the last few months has not been favorable to our arms. The brilliant repulse of the enemy's iron•clad fleet on the 7th of Aprillast, in Charleston harbor, hae been succeeded by the fall of Vicksburg anti Port Hudson, our retirement from Pennsylvania, Mary land, and Tennessee, and also by our evacuation of Morris Island, but not without a stubborn resistance by the brave garrisons of Wagner and Gregg, under a fire from naval and land batteries, such as no works have ever before withstood. Fort Sumpter still ho'da out with an infantry garrison, which has re cently achieved a brilliant success. Her noble ruins afford the best proofs of the indomitable courage of the officers and men of the let South Carolina Artille ry. Our malignant foe is now erecting on Morris Is land powerful batteries of Parrott guns, and repairing his damaged fleet, preparatory to another and more determined attack upon our harbor outposts, whilst his land forces are being increased, with the hope, possibly, of carrying Charleston in a combined at tack by land and sea. The call of the President for five thousand troops for six months' service within the State, beginning the tat of August last, has been promptly respondea to, with the exception of live companies now in process of organization. This requisition, and the enforcement of the conscription act to forty-five, embracing almost the entire popula tion between the ages of forty and fifty, so impairs the efficiency of our military organization that I bud it impracticable to obtain readily a force ade quate to such emergencies as a, em likely now soon to be upon us. To meet there emergencies I have en deavored, under your late act and the set of 1811, to raise a volunteer force of one mounted regiment, two companies of cavalry, and one battery of artillery, for service wherever in the State they may be needed. This force has not been so promptly raised as the occasion requires; and I have therefore felt it my, duty to again convene your bodies, and to recom mend to you that you devise such a plan as in your Wisdom may seem expedient for furnishing, for im mediate service, a military force of at least two re - of infantry, one of which should be mounted, and a proportionate force of cavalry and artillery. Also,,that the law be so amended as to place in some military organization for the defence of the State every able-bodied citizen between the ages of six teen and sixty not in the Confederate service or otherwise legally exempted. Theimmetliate danger to be apprehended arises from raiding parties of the enemy, who dash • suddenly into the State from Tennessee, through upper Georgia or the passes of the mountains of North and South Carolina. . I invite your attention to the operation of the System of imprealment adopted by the Confede- rate Government. lam informed that in some sec tions where the people have little more than is ab solutely necessary for their own use, it is apprehend ed that destitution will be brought about by its un equal operation. Coming, as you do, from every section of the State, you are doubtless better in formed upon this subject than myself, and better prepared to adopt a judicious policy than I am now to suggest it.- I have called the attention of the Confederate Government to the subject, and sug gested to them the probability that the collection of the tax in kind, which operates more equally on 411, Would obviate the necessity for the inspretsment of provisions. The system adopted by furnishing labor for the coast defences has failed to accomplish its purpose. Large numbers have availed themselves of the pro.' Visions of the law, and paid one dollar and fifty cents instead of furnishing the labor ; and others, with the hope of impunity, have neither furnished the labor nor paid the fine. With the money, col• lected by the agent he has been unable to hire any labor. I recommend an amendment of the acts on this subject, so as to abolish the fine, an\l so as to authorize the Governor, through the Com• MiesiOnerS of Roads (who in the main are true to their trusts), to impresa the labor requisite to enable him to respond to the calls of the commanding general, giving credit for all labor previously furnished, and that the time of service be extended to two Months. The free ne groes should be included. I doubt not that there has been cause for the complaint heretofore Made as to the treatment and detention of the negroes ; but it believed that, through the instrumentality of theenergetic State agent (whose report is herewith transmitted) many of the evils have been remedied. M. L. BONET AM. ExpOUTION OP XELLOOG, THE IVESTERN SPY. [From the Richmond Enquirer. Sept. 26.7 At 11 o'clock yesterday forenoon a detail of one hundred men, under Captain' Potts, from the City Battalion marched from Castle Thunder with Spencer Kellogg, the recently-condemned spy, in custody. The cortege moved up Main street in the following order:-Drum corps on the right, followed by two companies of military ; hack containing the condemned man, his spiritual adviser, Dr. Burrows, and Detective Capehait and 'another officer. The hack was'closely guarded by mounted men, followed by two companies of infantry. The cavalcade leached the scene of execution about half past 12 o'clock, where, as usual, a vast crowd of peorde, of both sexes and all ages, were congregated. After a Yews momenta spent in preliminary arrangements, the prisoner was escorted, under guard, from the hack to the gallows. - While seated in the hack, awaiting the perfection of the arrangements for his execution, he conversed gaily, with the utmost noncludance, with Dr. Burrows, frequently smiling at some remark made either by himself or the minister. Arriving under the gallows, Captain Alexander read the 'charges preferred against the accused and the sen tence of the court martial—" that he be hanged by the neck until dead." A short but impressive prayer was then offered by the minister, at the conclusion of which the condemned man, unaccompanied, mounted the scaffold. In a few moments Detective Capehart followed, and commenced to adjust the rope over the neck of the criminal, in which he assisted, all the while talking with the officer.. Oa taking offi his hat to admit the noose over his head, be threw it one side, and, falling off the scaffold, it struck a gentleman beneath, when the prisoner turned quickly, and, bowing, said : . "Excuse me sir." After gettir ' e• the rope on his neck arranged to his satiafactiort,Detective Capehart ecuntnenced to pinion the arms of the condemned, to which he submitted composedly, simply remarking: "Ain't this hard, Captain'?" His ankles were then tied to gether, and Ins hat given to him, which he held in his hand behind him. Capehart then shook hands and left him. A negro next came on the Beath:lid with a ladder, and proceeded to fasten the rope to the up per beam, the prisoner meanwhile regarding him with the greatest composure. The rope being fas tened, the negro was in the act of coming down, when the prisoner, looking up at the rope, remark ed: "This won't break my neck 'Tion't more than a foot fall. Doctor, I wish you would come up and arrange this thing. I don't want to have a botch job of it !" The rope was then rearranged to his satisfaction, and the cloth cap placed over his head. The condemned man then bowed his head, and en gaged a few seconds in prayer, at the conclusion of which he raised himself, and, standing perfectly erect, pronounced, in a clear voice, "All ready !" Al five minutes to one o'clock the drop fell, and the condemned man was launched into eternity. He struggled violently fbr about a second, the rope swaying to and ho like the pendulum of a clock. He was left hanging thirty minutes, when he was cut down, and pronounced dead" by the attendant physician, his neck having been:broken in the fall. The body was then placed in a coffin, and sent to the burial ground. Kellogg was a man of rather prepossessing ap pearance, about five feet eight or nine inches high, with sparkling light-blue eyes, sandy hair and beard, and a slight moustache. His skin, from long con finement (some fifteen months), had become as fair as a female's. He wore, at the time of his execution, a dark-blue coat and brass buttons, light.blue pants, a blue eheck shirt, and black wool hat. He was apparently about thirtplive years of age. The wretch had previously confessed his guilt, the substance of which confession was that he had hired himself in the Confederate Engineer Corps at Island No. 10, for the purpose of gaining infor mation for the benefit of the Federal Government, and though at last detected he died with the con viction that he bad furnished more valuable in formation, in the character of a spy, to that Go vernment, than any other ten men in the United States service. I =1 [From the Richmond Dispatch. ] The New York World of Saturday last takes the Tribune to task for denouncing the Union as it was. It seems that Greeley has been pouring contempt and odium on attempts to re-establish the Union on its old basis—that is, upon the efforts of the World and the War Democrats. G-reeley, "likens such at tempts to the madness which would wish, in France, for the reestablishment of all that the revolution has swept away—a return to absolutism, feudalism, and all their monstrous abuses and intolerable usur pations." The it comments upon this quotation from- Greeley are of no value, since it is evident that a Democrat who can advocate war for the restoration of a federation of independent States cannot be re garded as a reasonable being. A. Constitution which inhibits war cannot be restored by war—that is self evident ; for war is, of all things, the most violative of the Constitution, and includes and justifies all other violations, even the monstrous despotism now established by Lincoln. War necessarily destroys a Constitution such as the United States once pos sessed, and it is the merest folly to talk of re storing the Union by war of any sort—as much so as to talk of maintaining the Constitution by habitual violation of its very spirit, its every letter and prin ciple. PROMOTED Brigadier General Rowell Cobb has been promoted to a major generalship by President Davis, and as signed to the command of the Georgia State forces now being organized in the vicinity of Atlanta, ATTOIMICT GENERAL WATTS . Certain ignorant or designing persons having at- tempted to get up an impression in Alabama that Attorney General Watts, the Governor elect of that State, might be induced to favor a plan of "recon struction," he has written to a friend who addressed him a note on the subject, that he is " surprised and mortified that anybody in the South should so in terpret the Alabama election ;" that he "will not forfeit hie self•respect by arguing" such a question ; that the man "who is now deliberately or otherwise in favor of 'reconstruction' with the States under Lincoln's dominion, is a traitor in his heart to the State of his residence and to the Confederate States, and deserves a traitor's doom." "If I had the power." says Colonel Watts, "I would build up a wall of fire between Yankeedom and the Confederate States, there to burn for ages as a monument of the folly, wickedness, and vandalism of the puritanic race ! No, air ! rather than reunite with such a peo ple, I would see the Confederate States desolated with fire and sword." It is to be hoped this will satisfy all doubters. I=lM [From the Enquirer, 29th nit. The sudden appearance of the Russian fleet, con sisting of the Oshaba, the Alexander Iceveka, 6t guns; the Pereeviet, 46 guns ; to be reinforced in a few clays by the Vartag and the Vitesse, each 16 guns, and by the Alinoe, leonmyood, Jahont, each 9 guns, is not accounted for. Perhaps an alliance be tween Russia and the United States—between Po land's " beet Government the world ever saw," and that which extends similar kind attention to the people of the Confederate States—is about to take place. This holy alliance has kindred sympathies and principles—Alexander II and Abraham I. REBEL VIEWS OF GENERAL GILMORE'S MOVEMENTS [From the Wilmington Journal, Sept 10.] The great object of Gen. Gilmore, in aiming at the destruction or capture of Fort Sumpter, was evidently to remove that obstacle to the passage of the vessels of war into the inner harbor of Charles ton, and no on to the city. lie has done about all he can do agairat Sumpter. He has pretty much ruined it, but the Confederate flag still floats over its ruins, and the attempts of the iron-clads to run past and enter the inner harbor have not been successful. Sumpter, from her ruins, still poured a 11 re on them, and our other forts and batteries joined in the conflict. As nothing but iron-clads could in any case venture to make the attempt to run past, of course no.transports could carry up troops with the 'view of elfeeting a landing and attempting the oc cupation of Charleston. The iron -clads, oncewithin our range, might hammer away at the city ; but at the same time they would land themselves under the concentrated fire of batteries hammering away at them. They could not afford to devote themselves long to the work of destruction. They would have to escape or fight for their own salvation. The real danger to be apprehended from the pre sence of a Yankee fleet in the inner harbor, would be that it would cut off' communication between the batteries and the city, which is the base of opera tions and the centre of supplies. But again, the monitors, which can only carry a limited supply of coal, provisions, and munitions of war, would be cut off from their base of operations, since none of the wooden vessels could dare to run the gauntlet for the purpose of bringing these things to them. The monitors would also have to . encounter three Confederate iron-clads, armed with heavy Brooke guns of great penetrative power. These iron-clads, unlikethe unfortunate Fingal, would not be apt to.get aground, as they have steamed around every square yard of the harbor, andknow it all.-It is not known that the armor f the Fingal was not penetrated, but the sustaining woodwork was not strong enough to sustain the impact of the immense four-hundred and•thirty-pound projectiles thrown at her while she was aground. The iron clads in Charleston har bor are muck stronger, and, as already remarked, not likely to get aground. It is true they ate slow, but so are the monitors, and, even if the latter were twice as fast as our boats, their fear of torpedoes, obstructions, and all sorts of things, would prevent them from deriving any advantage from their supe rior speed. LOUISIANA-REPORTED DEFEAT OF GEN. 'WEITZEL The Riehmoud Examiner has a despatch that Gen. Weitzel has been defeated and killed, at Napoleon, Louisiana.

This concurs with rumors that General Weitzel has been defeated and killed by General Dick Taylor at Napoleon, Louisiana. MEXICO. The Mexican Army still Able to Resist the French— The hew Contmander-ln-Chief, General Diaz—international Relations. [Correspondence of the New York Times. ] QUERETARO, (1 1 ,1exico,) Tuesday, Aug. 11, 1862 It is a great mistake to suppose that the Mexi cans are not able and do not intend to offer any effec tual resistance to the French. Aa I have stated, the Juarez Government at San Luis Potosi is actively engaged in organizing its forces, with the full determination of lighting the French now and forever. General Diaz has been appointed commander-in chief. Diaz is a young, enterprising, daring man, of superior military attainments. He performed prodigies of valor at the siege of _Puebla, and evinced military skill of a high order. The Mexican Liberals are looking to this young general with great hope. He has now at his headquarters in San Luis a force of 8,000 men, w hich is being thoroughly organized, arm ed, and equipped, General Doblado, or the State of Guanajuato has a force of 10,000 men well armed, clothed, andpaid. He resigned his position as Go vernor of the State of Guanajuato a few days since, in order to devote himself entirely to military af fairs. His headquarters are at the city of Leon. This State, Queretaro, is also organizing a very re spectable force, also Aojaco, and, in fact, all the States of the republic appear to be doing their best in the raising of forces to contend with the invader. Gen. Negrete is Governor of the States of Puebla and Tlaseala, and commander•in.chief of the forces of those States. He has already an army Which is giving great trouble to the French. A few days ago the Mexican traitor Oronoz left the city of Mexico to attack him, but his Mexican forces went over to the patriots. Oronoz was obliged to retreat to the city, of Mexico. He has since been imprisoned by Forey. From all I see and hear, I believe the Juarez Government will soon have a well equipped and efficient army, ready to take the field against the Freifell, Of WOO t() 49,400 Mell. Then there will he guerilla bands innumerable. I think these facts indicate that the struggle be , twern the French and Mexicans is by no means ended. It is true, the Mexicans are greatly impo verished. They need large supplies of arms and other war material with which to carry on the struggle, nowao unequal in the matter of supplies. The interests of the French invasion and of the Southern Confederacy, for the time being, are here looked upon as identical. Every victory the North regardea by every Mexican patriot as a staggering gains over the South causes rejoicing here, for It is tdow to the French invasion as well as to the Southern rebellion ; and the masses of the Mexican people ate beginning to believe that at no distant day the loyal United States will take an active part in siding them to come off successful from the des pirate struggle they are now maintaining against the European foe. Senor Romero, who recently represented the Pdexican Government at Washington, has been ap pointed a colonel in the Mexican army, and he is now a member of Gen. Diaz's staff: "'A short time befoie I left San Luis, the Juarez Government had appeinted Senor %arca as minister to the United Stater, and he was expected to leave for his post in Washington about this time. DESERTION cir IVlOumr, BY THE OITIiENS.—A letttr from an officer of the blockading fleet in the Gulf says : "The people are leaving Mobilb in droves; not by ones and twos, but by.the dozen. A few days ago thirteen seamen deserted from the Selma rebel steamer. From Mobile Bay thirtyfive women and children came over, and about one hun dred men, all within one week, and all agree that Mobile can be easily taken. We shall soon be about that. There is famine in'Mobile, and the women have rebelled against the authorities. They were Meowing, and wanted bread, and they took it where they could find it." UNION DEMONST.RATION AT NEW YORK.—Wed needs}, evening the loyal men of New York ratified the nomination made by the Union State Convention, held at Syracuse on the 20 of September. The great Hall of the Cooper Institute was crowded to its ut most capacity.

Democratic leaders, will not find willing and eager followers among the benighted devotees of that party in Clearfield. The town itself is by na ture one of the most charming villas of our great State. Its inhabitants number nearly eight hun dred. Unlike the rest of the county, the town itself is progressive. Several elegant residences strike the eye on entrance to the spot, and command our ad miration on closer view. The town is delightfully laid out in a deep valley formed by the Allegheny range. The hilltops are covered with thick forest, in which grows almost every variety of timber use ful to the builder or engineer. The West Branch of the Susquehanna nova peacefully by its northern limit, and is laden the greater part of the year by rafts of valuable lumber, which are drifted to the junction of the North Branch, about forty miles be low, and sent onward down that great river. The lumbermen generally are an intelligent class of peo ple, and many of them showed their devotion to country by enlisting under its flag. The degenerate remainder are principally moulded by the politicians and used for their sole benefit. Being a long.esta blished Democratic county, prejudice and bigotry have attained a fast hold upon the minds of the peo ple. Gradually they are being uprooted, and light is dawning upon Clearfield county. Gentlemen of intelligence and wealth are settling there, and in fusing a regard for true Democratic principles. No better evidence of the advancement in this respect is needed than the assurance of a greatly•increased Union vote in the coming election. The politicians are becoming understood, and the honest, thinking people are asserting their sway. - On Tuesday night last the Union people held a soul stirring meeting in the town of Clearfield, and the Copperheads held one too. Theirs was opposite the Court Home, and the chairman, in organizing their meeting, announced that it was in "accord ance with time-honored usage for the Democracy to counsel together during court week," and the De mocracy began their council. They were permitted to proceed without molestation, or even an audience, so far as the Union people of the town were con cerned. Luminous sophisms were indulged in, and occasionally there was a cheer and a "hurrah for Woodward." .Tames Buchanan, Jr., Miles, of Philadelphia ; George Northorp, of Philadelphia; Wm. E. Wallace, a Senator from Clearfield, and a youth of about eighteen summers, constituted the list of orators. Two or three squares further on, the Union-men Of Clearfield held a mass meeting, the like of which, we are assured, has never before been held in thisicounty. Composed of the intelli gence and wealth of the community, the meeting demeaned themselves in a manner which did them infinite credit, and showed an appreciation of the eloquent orator of the occasion. It was, however, enthusiastic, and the hearty cheers with which the sentiments of Judge Shannon were greeted attracted the envy and attention of the Copperhead meeting lower down in the town. Every device short of an open collision was resorted to that the meeting might be dissolved. On the outskirts of the crowd boys would yell out, "Hurrah for Woodward," and make other riotous demonstrations. The. platform was gaily aet off with American flags, and the seats opposite were filled, and stand ing room could hardly be obtained in the highway. Mr. James E. Stewart presided, and Dlr. H. Bucher Swope introduced Hon. P. U. Shannon in very com plimentary terms. Atter the applause with which he was greeted had subsided, Judge Shannon proceeded to speak as fol. lows: SPEECH OF JUDGE SHANNON FELLOW-COUNTRYMEN: I have come hither for the pur pose of addressing you upan the momentous i 2,81188 of the day. I have to-day. for the first time, placed my feet upon the soil of Clearfield county. I have travelled by your lofty mountain sides thAugh year glens and valleys; I have seen a county that. a few brief years ago, was vvrapt in solitude and wilderness, developing itself with a power and energy, perhaps, unsurpassed in the ant all of civilization. I have heard- the snort of the iron horse upon your highest cliffs. I have seen conveyed to the marts of - wealth the treasures of your mountains; and as I saw all - these things for the first time, I asked myself the question, can it be possible that a people thus blessed, thus prosperous, thus happy. thus intelligent—can a people like this be untrue to the tradi tions of our fathers, forgetful of the glorious and teeming associations of the past, and While the' Life of the nation is trembling in the scale. that so happy a people should refuse to support men who are pledged to sustain their country against all its enemies—that, for a moment, any man who desires to see the institutions of hie country perpetuated, should refuse a sanction to Andrew G. Cur tin? [Applause.] I beg you to be with me as I attempt to address this vast assemblage upon the questions which now (meting so much of the attention of every Pennsylvanian. I have come recently from the shore of Lake Erie. where twenty thousand freemen assembled to welcome the arrival of Governor Curtin to the Lake City; I have witnessed 30,050 men assembled in council at Pittsbarg, presided over by `a :.Democrat like myself, which gave the heartiest assurance to the people of Pennsylvania,ate yet true to the principles of the olden time. I have spoken at Altoona, Mauch Chunk, Easton, Bethlehem, Norristown, West Chester. Philade.phia, and numerous other places. and the demonstrations at each of them in favor tf the TJnion, filled'me with pride and confidence. allow me to premise on this occasion, that it was the limpet.° of Colonel Forney to accompany me here to day. Before 1 lett Lancaster, I received from him a tele gram bidding me tottell the good people of Clearfield, in his name, that it was wholly impossible for him to fulfill his engagement, believing that he could bitter aid the cause by remaining at home •in charge of his news- Paper—an opinion in which all his friends coincide. As a journalist. Colonel Forney has sew equals in the coun try, and in that capacity lie will render valuable aid to the good work, engages, as he is. with herculean la bors in favor of the patriot and against the traitor. [Applause.] Now to the subject before us. Let me appeal to your heart and judgment, You ask for Peace, YOU followers of Woodward. Let me ask how do you propose to attain Name the condi tion. Sets down the programme. We members of the Union party of Pennsylvania love white-winged-Peace as mach as you love her. Our memories go back to the days when peace stood upon every mountain, and held her revels in every valley We do not love war for the take of war; but hog avoid it? What proposition has ever coins from Jeff Davis, luokingtowards peace? Any thing from his Cabinet? Ilas any discussion taken place in the rebel Congress even upon the propriety of bottling out the olive-branch? What rebel editor has askeMor peace. except on the basis of separation? Everywhere uVer.the South there is one united voice, that peace shall come only by acknowledging their accursed- Confede racy, and consenting to the destruction of the Constitu tion and Union of our fathers. lln the name of tne ancient Democracy. that Democracy of Jefferson and Jackson, I hurl defiance in the teeth of the rebel miecreante, and their cowardly assistants of the North, and assure them that this contest, begun for the purpose of restoring the Union, will bircontinned for the same purpose, and that there can be no peace except in submission. I lave great respect for the honest masses of the De mocratic party. but. I have nothing but supreme con tempt for their miserable leaders. [Applause.] I never voted any other [tan the Democratic ticket until the time when Southern Democrats dared to fire upon the flag or our country at +Sumpter. In common with liberal men of all parties. I was always willing to give to the people of the South their just rights under the Constitu tion so long as they were willing to light the battles of the Onion peacefully inside the Union. Believing Douglas to be not only the regular nominee of the party, but the truest exponent of its principles, I labored and voted for that great statesman, To-day he sleeps in his calm and honored grave, where the winds of a Northern lake sing a requiem to his memory. Where is John C. Breckinridge ? Among the enemies of his country, with a dagger uplifted against the life of the nation. [Ap plause ]-I prefer to continne in the faith of the la mented Douglas than to follow Breckinridge in his trea sonable efforts against the Government. .13nt, yon say, why this carnage; why these blood stained fields , : why these wounded and cripples? Can not something be done to appease the angry waters; can riot oil be thrown upon the troubled surface, that peace and prosperity may once more assert their sway ? Just as ter as love of country, devotion to true Democracy, love of the Constitution and the Union will allow me— just so far and no farther. The rebels tell you there is but one way to settle this war, and that is by our sub mitting to them, by acknowledging the right of secession, and by allowing the Government of Jefferson and Jack son to crumble into duet. What is the response from every lOyal heart. [Cries of ''never!'] Never on God's earth—never' _ When Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated chief magis trate of this great nation, having been fairly and honest ly elected under the Constitution and the laws, he stood. in the city of Washington without a treasury, without an army or navy, and almost without friends. Floyd had dispereed the armies into far. distant parts. and Ton coy had ordered our gallant tars so far away from the capital that when the great rebellion [culminated Mr. Lincoln felt himself almost wholly defenceless. Spies in the Sexectitive chamber, :pies in every. department of the Government service, the corridors of the White 'louse echoing to the tread of informer' - and secret traitors, and all around doubt, despond, envy. and theproepect of national disaster. In this dark crisis Pennsylvania, under her gallant Curtin, came bravely to the rescue, sending forward, as the first of loyal States, her quota. to tits ealvation of the capital. [Applause. ] As the exigencies of the war grew greater and stronger. as 7urtbcr &Mantis Were made upon the valor: the COliTilke, and patriotism of the people, who so ready, who El) vigilant as Governor Cnstin raising volun teers to defend the life of the Union, amidst st,l the loyal and gallant Governors, Andrew U. Curtin showed. if poseible, the greatest alacrity. I have it from my relatives and friends, who have enlisted under the banner of the Republic, that after the bloodiest battles of the Potomac army, the first official from civil life, to reach the scene of conflict, was the Governor of this State Re has been seen kneeling by the bedside of the dying and wounded soldiers, like a good Samaritan, absorbed with anxiety and solicitation for their comfort; Everywhere, and at every time, he has been the soldier's friend. Nom, how is he to be rewarded? Do the Woodwarditee say, ' Well done thou good and faithful servant?" On the contrary, there is no term too vile in the vocabulary to be applied to him. 1 am sorry to be obliged to say it, that a few, calling themselves Republicans. dare to fire envenomed arrows at the head of Curtin. For two Years in the Penrisvf -. ania Legislature, never having voted for him. I can bear assail/Any to his high character, and can with some authority, therefore, pronounce those aspersions untrue. This is no time for party politics. This is a time for every man who prices the precious heritage of our fa thers, who loves this land of civil and religions liberty, to range himself on the side of his country, determined to uphold it against all its enemies, foreign or domestic. [Applatice, ] Wicked men, who lvauld rejoice in the triumph of the Southern rebels, charge that this war was begun by the Abolitionists; that it is continued for the unloose of placing the negro, it not upon social, at least upon terms of political equality with the whites. As a Democrat, I say here what all thinking men are convinced of, that Ibis war was commenced by Southern Democrats. and is now carried on by them in conjunc tion with their Northern sympathizers. [applause.] Read the papers of the South, and yonwill become more than ever convinced that the rebels prolong, this war,not * became they will be enalled to achieve a triumph upon their own exertions, but, that they may profit by the as sistance of the Democratic pasty and the Southern allies in Europa If the population of the North were unitedly in favor of the glorious flag of cur common country, this ebellion wonld be wished in ninety days. (Cries of `that s se. , '1 The rebels look anxiously to tho second Tuesday of October, and hope that Woodward and Val lat dignam may be permitts d to lock arms with the Go vernor of the. Five Points.

But there it stands, 'and it will cling to Judge Wood ward, like the fabled shirt of Neesue, during his natural. life, Notwithstanding, it is gratifying to announce. not as an opinion. but as an earnest conviction, that no Power of the Woodwardites or their Southern all hie, cat beat Curtin on the second Tuesday of October next. CA ppla ae. Judge Shannon then nrcceeded to discuss the measures of the Adir iaietrationth at have occasioned the clanoretta comments of the sympathizers. With regard to the emancipation proclamation, he gave these as his reasons for lilting it: First. Because Jeff Davis does not like it. [Laughter.] Ile liked it also because every belted rebel hates it: and lastly, because it was in the interest of Christianity and civilization. there were any fault about it, it was because it did not come a great deal sooner. Thespeakerp further touched upon the subject of the freedom of speech:and whilst upon this part of his discourse, the unruljAlelegation from the Demo cratic meeting became ;go boisterous as to almost drown the voice of-the orator. They hurrahed, and yelled, and groaned. They rang a huge bell, uttered shameful blasphemies, and pelted missiles on the stage, none of which, however, had the effect they were designed to have. Mr. Swope, interrupting, administered a merited rebuke to the rowdies upon the outside, regretting, at the same time, the dis grace which they had brought on the - fair fame of Clearfield. The sheriff of the county, a conscien tious Democrat, came to the rescue, and succeeded in drawing away his friends .to their own meeting, where they could indulge as much they pleased is their boasted liberty of speech. Judge Shannon continued undaunted, and held his audience in fixed attention until the close, To the credit of his auditors, they maintained through out the strictest order, though, had the cowardly men calling themselves Democrats avowed them selves, they would have had much reason to fear "the wrath of patient men." It was universally admitted that the Union meet ing exceeded in size its opponent down the street, and it certainly was conducted in a manner which reflected credit upon the cause in which the re spectable people of Clearfield are embarked. After the close of the meeting we attended that of the Democracy, and felt another evidence of the de generacy of that once great party that in the olden time reckoned in its ranks some of the beat men of that county. These are the men who complain that they have not an unlicensed freedom of speech, and to show to what length they permitted their own unbridled tongues to length the Government, while not a word in behalf of the Union is permitted to be spoken in their hearing, let us instance a passage or two of Mr. George Northrop's, who was addressing the Democrats after the Union meeting adjourned. He said that it Governor Curtin should be again elected, his hearers might rest assured there would be no more elections in Pennsylvania. He further held that if it should come to a question whether the Government or Constitution should go down, that the Constitution should be maintained at all hazards. The Constitution might be trampled upon, but the freemen of Pennsylvania would register an. oath in heaven that they should de fend it, in spite of power and Administration_ Abraham:Lincoln was compared to the King of Dahomey. The Republicans were charged with desiring a Union of broken legs and arms rather than of united hearts. The' Democratic party was said to be a sleeping babe and unless it soon woke up it would be strangled to death by those who fear its young strength. Mr. Northrop produced the figures to show how the war was coating Penn sylvania one-half of all her real estate, and if it continued six months longer our State would be forever bankrupt. The Republican party flaunted the stars and stripes, when they ought to have the skull and crossbones of a pirate ensign, This is the kind of trash called free speech which the Demo crate of Clearfield applauded to the echo. Had Mr. Northrop indulged in a strain of genuine patriotism, which his friends allege him incompetent to do, ha might have been hooted from the stage. It is gratifying, however, to announce to our friends that there has lately been a great revul sion in sentiment among the more intelligent people of Clearfield, anti on election day the county will redeem itself gloriously, and show that we have still cause for thankfulness • that the Union cause Is triumphant even in the dens of its enemies. Mr. Finnie, of the Central Committee, Mr. Gra ham, Mr. Swope, and other intelligent citizens of Clearfield, who arranged the meeting, have mush cause to feel gratified upon their success. It was not thought that there were so many in the county, who had determined to throw off their old allegiance, and work heartily for the election of our popular Chief Magistrate. Whilst waiting for the down train at Tyrone, on the following evening, an imprcniptulneeting of the Union people of that town was heild near the depot, and eloquently addressed by Judge Shannon. The enthusiasm for Gov. Curtin is everywhere showing it:self, and justifies the anticipations of the sanguine friends of the Union cause in Pennsyl vania. Mass Meeting at Holmesburg—Art minse Concourse. On Wednesday evening there was an immense gathering of the people at Holmeaburg, in the Twentythird ward. At least three thousand were in attendance, and there was unbounded enthusiasm. Hon. James lid. Scovel, a War Democrat, of Camden. N. J., made a long and very able address, which was listened to with breathless interest. He was follow. ed by Thomas Fitzgerald, another War Democrat. who was enthusiastically received, and made a well. digested address. In the course of his speech, Hr. Fitzgerald said : "Mead> voter in the Union party would do his duty, Go vernor Curtin would be re-elected by at least 50.000 ma jority. Many Democrats who preferred country to par ty would vote for Curtin, because they knew he would sustain the Government. Judge Woodward would fol low the disloyal example of Seymour, of New York, and would, if possible, array the State against the General Government. Bone but the perversely blind can doubt the attitude of Woodward—his declarations are on re cord. Ile is opposed to the war, and will do all in his Power to retard its Prosecution. lie hss told us that sla very is an incalculable blessing, and that human bond age and property in man are divinely sanctioned, if not ordained. - lie approves of I..ecession, and,like his friend Buchanan. knows of no way by which a State may be coerced. Virtually he is a Secessionist. To vote for such a man is, in effect, to vote for the rebellion. [Applause. ] The intolerance and insolence of the Southern Demo cracy have gradually, but effectually, alienated the people of the North. A few years since. Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Connecticut were Democratic. but the taunts and insults of the fire-eaters produced their fruit,, and now they are strongly Republican or Union. [Cheers and great applause.] I think Pennsyl vania gave 25,000 to .30,000 for General Jackson. Ohio was once largely Democratic,so were Illinois and Mold gan, but education and free thought have done their work. Yet; for years before the rebellion broke out. nearly the whalapovernment was in the hands of Southerners or their warm friends Buchanan, Cobb. Floyd,.Thomp son. Black, Toncey., were all in the Southern uatereet. No Northern man could obtain office, position, contract. or recognition, until he declared fir the South. Occa sionally., an, honest Northern politician would rebel: then the hounds of the party were let loose, and the par ts lash would he applied until the attempt was made to degrade hint before the country- Governors Waiter and Reeder, and Judge Kelley, and my kind friend Col. For ney are examples in point. A hundred instances might be given of the dishonesty of the leaders. but the indig nities and ingratitude shown. to the lamented. Donates are the most recent and most shameless. They feared his power, his honesty, his independence, and they hounded him into an early grave. [Applause.. ] The muscrupuloueness of the leaders of the Democratic party can st arcely be measured: let leant:flee, that they have stopped at nothing, not even the murder of those who stood in their way. I shall not hesitate to proclaim what others may have thought, but have hesitated to utter. net us bear in mind that this wicked rebellion was begun more than .thirty yeara since, and that mea sures, originally undertaken in fear and trembling, were afterwards boldly and openly advocated. There are those who believe that General Harrison fell a victim to the conspirators. but Tyler lived because he aided their views. James K. Polk fully sympathized with the trai tors, consequently he escaped unharmed. General Taylor was :tied a year, when he came to a sudden death. Millard Fillmore. the meanest, the most willing. and the most despicable tool the South has ever known. was suffered to live in all his servility and slime. From 'SS to '57, Franklin Pierce gave all his sober moments to his exacting Southern masters. To this hour he is loud in his commendation of Jeff Davis and the other i• fel lows of infinite jest," who absorbed all the evidences of his manhood. Of course, he was suffered to live, be cause, like Fillmore, no more willing tool could be found to do the work of the South. Before and after his nomi nation and election, the Southern leaders distrusted James Buchanan. They knew he had always been a trimmer; they knew that _andrew Jackson despised. him; they knew -that he was cold-blooded, selfish, cowardly, and it was resolved to put him out of the way, especially as Breckinridge was wholly theireal Yen' all remember the wholesale poisoning at the National Hotel? Many theories were started at the time to account for this monstrous piece of iniquity, but no one who weighs all the attending cir cumstances can hesitate to endorse my belief that this was but one of the enormities in the great drama of Southern rebellion. Buchanan, it is true, escaped with his lire, but his health was impaired. while his intellect suffered greatly, and his heart, always cold, was turned to stone. He fell an easy prey to the conspirators; in fact, the thief, Floyd kthe charlatan. Cobb; and the poor tool. Thompson, carried him, in turn, in their breeches pockets. This unworthy son of Pennsylvania, who dis honored his old age by betraying Democratic principles, who shamed his manhood by many acts of ingratitude to the constant friends of life, who had not the moral courage to declare for his country when traitors threat ened its dissolution—this poor old man, the contempt and. jeer of his cour try, the shunned of his neighborhood. the pity of the good, the scorn of the patriotic—this poor old uan lives a warningi and a terror to all public men in thefuture. [Langhter. ] Now, .I. distinctly and solemnly charge upon the Dreckin ridge wing of the Democratic party the crime of planning the murder of President Lincoln on his way from Havre de-Grace, Maryland. and Baltimore, before his inaugu ration; and it was well understood that if he escaped death at this time then be was to be shot down in the streets of Washington. But for the precaution of Gen_ Scott Washington city would have been the scene of a terrible crime, involving. perhaps, a thousand EPOS, incluoing that . of the President. Now, what Democrat in the free and enlightened North will longer consent to be Identified with these Southern cowards and murde rers. calling themselves Democrats? lam to-daya bet ter Democrat than ever before. I hold fast to the old doc trines and traditions which made the Democratic party a. great, resuectable, controlling power. But I am not a Breckinridge Democrat; a Copperhead; a contriver of murder; a rebel, and a traitor. As a good Democrat, shall vote against -Woodward, and for Curtin who Will do all in his power to sustain the GOTerii,Merke and keep the old fag Ideal The Democratic Party of the North owes to the Demo cratic party of the South nothing but contempt and. hatred. For sixty years, the Southerners used us to ad vance all their political schemes. When they thought they could do without us, they slammed the door in our faces and left us out in the cold, to shift for ourselves. The worst tyrants and most heartless, cold-blooded a risto erns in the world are the Southern and Northern leaders of the Democratic party. I cannot follow these men. I diet rubt them. They are ambitious and selfish, and their opposition to the Government and the war springs front the meanest of motives. They would, from selfish con siderations, preserve the Democratic party, as a means of rising again to place and power, rather than eavestheir court: ry. This is not Democratic doctrine. "Our conntry - , right or Wrong the. Union, one and thselta rable, these were once lhe tattle cry of the Democratic MirlY—lnYW the leaders of that once proud and effective of a:imitation would humbly play second-fiddle to trot tors in arms against their legitimate and beneficent Go vernment. [Great applause and cheers.] eetlu g . in Schuylkill Haven. Sonuvracua, HA.VEN t Schuylkill county, Four Miles below Pottsville, Sept. 30, 1863. To the Editor of The Press: SIR : Last evening we had a large and enthusiastic Curtin and Agnew meeting in this place. Able and patriotic speeches were made by Colonel Fisher, of the Pennsylvania Reserves ; Colonel Ryerson, of the 10th New Jersey, and D. B. Green, Esq., chair man of the Union County Committee. Colonel Fisher spoke effectively, and gave many cogent reasons why Judge Woodward should not be elected Governor, and why Governor Curtin should be re elected by a large majority. Colonel Ryerson, whose regiment is on duty here in the county—it bring necessary in the Copperhead districts that - act armed force should be stationed here to insure the security of life and property during the enrolment and draft—stated distinctly that he was a War De mocrat so long as there was an armed rebel in the land or a Union gun to bring him to subjection. He belonged to the school of such Democrats as An. drew Jackson, Andrew Johnson, Joseph Holt,a. J. Walker, General Butler,Burnside, Dix, Grant, Logan, and many others, an despised the course of Seymour, Wood, Vallandigham, Woodward, Reed, Biddle, Ingersoll, and Hughes. The speakers spoke favorably of Judge Woodward as a citizen, but they proved conclusively that his record as a public; man at this time was against him ; that he was a man of doubtful loyalty; that he was ruts. ring upon and endorsed a platform that approved of the course of Vallandigham, and that the last bid of the Judge:was a sort of eleventh-hour repent ance that will nOt be received by the people, The
