loyal people here will speak favorably on the Second Tuesday of October for Curtin and the whole Union county ticket. Last fall this borough gave Strome, Democratic candidate for Congress, seven majority; this fall we will give Andy Curtin a majority of forty Or fifty. The Union men ate well organized, and are working zealously and effectively, and neither the sworn Copperheads of the Golden Circle (and your readers will not think it strange that we hwe this Masa of dilapidated Democrats among us, when they recollect that Frank Hughes lives at Pottsville, aud, like the Upas tree, poisons the atmosphere for miles around), nor the inducements of the more respecta ble wing of the party affect the loyal voters of this pl ace a nd vicinity. They will go to the polls, and do posit their ballots for Andrew G. Curtin, the loyal, patriotic, and energetic Governor, the guardian of the welfare of the whole people of the Common wealth, the true friend of the soldiers at all times. Old Schuylkill is thoroughly aroused, and although regarded heretofore as a Democratic stronghold, the indications are favorable for Curtin, and the election of the entire Union county thket Yours, rtspectfully, Meetibg in the Eigateeata Want.

Ett iltrtss+ FRIDAY, OOTOBLR 2, 1863 The Treasonable Platform of the Wood ward Party, erected by William B. Reed, at Meadville, Crawford County, Penn-. SON atria, on the 11th of. September last. In rending over the speeches and resolu tions of the* leaders who support justice WOODWARD . for Governor of Pennsylvania, the fact Most prominent is th 6 studied avoid ante of all proper denunciation of the rebellion,•and of the traitors in arms against the Government. Undoubtedly, however, the most remarkable eVidence of this truth is to be found in all that has been written or spoken by Wassert B. REED, who may be called the oracle in chief of the Copperhead organization, and who, long .before the flag was fired upon at Fort Sumpter (as .well as consistently after that outrage), openly de clared in favor of separation, and employed language similar to that of Justice, Woon- WARD:iII December, after Mr. LIN - comes election to the Presidency. Every hour, from the beginning of the war, seems to have increased Mr. REED'S sympathy for the rebellion, and his hostility to the Go vernment of the United States. ' We have just finished a careful perusal of his speech at Meadville, Crawford coun ty, on the 17th of last Septenaber, to an audience composed of the friends of Justice WOODWARD, and under a flag in scribed with these words : " The Union and the Constitution. WOODWARD and Lowata. 'White men, strike for your liberties, ere it is too late." From the first sentence to the last, there is not a line of honest disapproval of the rebellion, and no one can, read it without realizing that the Copperheads, while complaining that freedom of speech is interrupted, not only use and abuse that freedom, but run into the most dangerous and disgusting license. Mr. REED looks forward to a time of peace, " when a North ern man will le neither afraid nor ashamed to say that STONEWALL JACESON was a Christian hero, of whom any nation . - might be proud," and before this compliment to one of the most remorseless mmderers of Northern men he delivers a more embittered and insolent assault upon the Government than has ever been made even by himself. That honest Democrats may behold the feast be spreads before them, we subjoin some extracts from ;his discourse at .Mead ville. It Win be observed that in the more than two solid columns of his speech the 'whole ioea is to revive the hated doc trine of State Rights, and to weaken and de preciate the General Government and the Union.. 'We quote : "I tell you in plain words—quite as plain As a clear conviction and a tongue used to distinct ut terance can employ—l tell you, Pennsylvania is in danger from Federal usurpation, or. if a gentler phrase is preferred,. from Federal absorption. There is no use or diaguiiing the truth thatif Judge Wood ward is not elected, or, being elected with a majori ty of the Legislature, he recedes one hairsbreadth from the line of true State and Federal obligation, if both should happen to survive—the sovereign State of Pearsylvania—our nursing mother, the protector of all our personal and local rights and privileges—ceases to exist. If Dir. Curtin—at this moment the confessed pensioner of the Federal Go vernment, for he has the promise of a foreign mis sion in his pocket—should, with the aid of Federal influence, cow openly,-though reluctantly, pledged to him, Continue in office, he will gratefully ac. quince in any centralizing dogma Mr. Lincoln may enunciate; hand over to the Federal power the State integrity, and consent to our continuing to be territorialized, to be a province under the supreme control of a consolidated" Government at Washing ton, or wherever elk! the uncertain currents and eddies of war may drift it. This is a fair inherence from what has been done. It is no phantom. It is a grim reality. Now, my friends, this is the great and predominant danger, complicated with the inci dental one that in vlevrof the tremendous gage at this moment played for—immunity from just punish ment and retribution, and perpetuation of corrupt power—the Democracy of the State shall, by actual interference, be deprived of the right of suffrage. The men in office are afraid to part with power. They think of what once happened to Strafford, and Land, and Merles Stuart, and hold on reso lutely. There is a cohesive power 'mate that of plunder." Here we have the bold falsehood avowed that, If . ,,Governor CURTIN is re-elected, he will "hand over to the Federal power the State integrity and consent to our continu ing to be - territorialized," and that "the De. mocracy of the State shall by actual inter ference be deprived of the right of suffrage." Observe that he dictatorially marks out for Justice WOODWARD, in the event of his election, a policy which is to erect Pennsyl vania into an independent and hostile power, independent of and hostile to the Go vernment. Again, not content with this most flagrant falsehood and pronounced treason, he tells us that "no monarch of England ventured to do what Mr. LINCOLN has done—suspend within these limits the habeas corpus act, or put a Pennsylvania citizen in prison with out judicial process and judicial investiga tion." Before giving Justice. WOODWARD him- - self in contradiction of this insolent misre presentation, we beg to remind Mr. WILLIAM' B. REED that there is one page of Pennsyl vania history, written by himself, in which, not only without but against law, he .urged and advocated the arrest and imprisonment, in a time of profound peace, of such citizens of Pennsylvania as GEORGE M. DALLAS, GEORGE WOLF, and FnAlicia E. BRUNK, because they refused to the secrets of the Masonic order: Now, let us see what Justice "WOODWARD says in reply to the first part of this false accusation: "In adequate emergencies martial law suspends the ErellitAti CORPUS, inflicts summary punishment, and appropriates private property, without regard to the guarantees of the Constitutton. Inter arma silent leges. ,, After craftily trying to show that the real defenders of the Constitution are the Cop perheads, and all the time concealing the fact that he and his associates look to the destruction of that Constitution by separa tion as the only road to peace, Mr. REED coollisays : "For two years and five months has the work of blood been going on—with dreary ebbs and flows of_ victory and deieat—with widening Mean of desola tion,- and an aggregation of human misery and suf fering to which the bloodiest annals of the past fur nhh few parallels. And I affirm—no result ! result? Alas ! my friends and fellow-oltizens, man y results; though none of adjustment or certain sus- Oerifi." Think of it, soldiers who have fought and people who have contributed to the mainte nance and success of the army, and to the imperishable glory of the flag, that all these sacrifices have produced "no result," " none of adjustment or certain success." Think of it, Democrats, you who are called upon to vote the so-called Democratic ticket, on the ground that it is pledged to a prosecution of the war, and you who sincerely rejoice over the victories of, your brothers and friends on the battle-field, that all their trials and cou rage have produced "no result," "none of adjustment or certain success." " No re sult i" What, is the recovery of Kentucky, and Tennessee, and Maryland, and Mis souri, and Arkansas, and Louisiana, and Mississippi, and more than - half of Virginia, from red-handed rebel usurpation "no re sult ?" Is the reopening of the great Mis sissippi, which has filled the world with wonder, and the whole Mississippi valley with gratitude and joy, "no result ?" What of the deliveranee and r.eseue of Penusyl- vania . from the invading hordes of LEE, an other of those marauders who, like " Stone- Inc.KsoN,•lfr. REED baptizes as "a Christian hero, of whom any nation might be proud `" TheSe grand achievements are set down as "no results," and as "no cer tain successes." But this perverter of his tory and of truth says there have been no results of adjustment." Does he, then, deny that the uprising of the Union people of . North Carolina is not only a tribute to the prowess of the AMerican arms, but a sure precursor of their readiness to return to the old Government? Does he assert that the people of Mississippi, through many chan nels, did not hail the fall of Vicksburg as the beginning of the end of their trou bles, and did not signify their desire to come back under the laws from which they were seduced ? Is all the loyalty of East ern Tennessee a fable and a fraud? All the grateful demonstrations of the people of Knoxville, and the other towns of that 11ourishing region, when - the-old flag reap peared in their midst, a myth and a lie ? . SUOGESS It• is revolting to note the cold-blooded malignity with which Wriamot B. READ contemplates his suffering country, and toils to add to these sufferings by multiplying ob stacles in the pathway of the constituted authorities. He is desirous of .hurrying the Government to its death, and hke a cruel anatomist pursues - waat he seems to regard as the last spark of quivering liberty through her limbs. Could there be anything more monstrous than the following ?-- "Let me dwell fore moment on one or two of them —and tirst, es to the Federal paper currency. It is a huge engine of ultimate misery. It is pestilent be cause it is insidious, and pervades every channel of ac tive life, and influences every relation of business. It is pestilent as a confession of weakness, for no Go vmnment that felt Remit strong, and was not on the defensive, ever made such an experiment. We did it in the Revolution, because we were the defending OS well as the misting power. The Republic did it when the monarana of Europe were in league against it. The Southern Confederacy does it, Oe• cause it, too, is on the defensive. ire do it whet all our boasted prosperity, because, in point of truth, the sources of real and substantial credit are cut of by'Our own insanity; because no one abroad will lend us money, and no - one at home will, if they can help, ft, pay taxes. We pill off paper on the people, and when they become afraid to hold scut change it into a loan, on which a little specie is promised, and is supposed-to bc secured, we boast of it as a great financial success, and then create a set of nail snot bank acts to contrive 21n0 issues. But it ia terribly mischievous la other respects. It abrogates and an nuls all Slate . laws on the subject of currency, and topples down Slate organization by undermining the primary relations of business and social life. See how it works. I presume if Congress were to pass, a law, or Mr. Lincoln was to issue an edict, that, under some military or police necessity, every man in Pennsylvania should, during the war, dress in blue, or black, or gray, people would be a little startled at it; or if, having control of the Post Of flee, they were to say that all letters should be writ ten hereafter on paper of a certain tint or Size. peo ple would revolt at it. They say neither of tame things, but they do say, that no man shall spend, or use, or contract for any money but green paper money, and that, even if before the war began, or the necessity existed, he had a contract made by which he was to pay or to receive gold dollars or gold eagles or nickel pennies, or gold or silver penny weights, that he should pay or receive neither, but must take Government paper, no matter what its value is. This is Loyal League law in Philadelphia, The only persons who need not take this trash, or hided, who are forbidden to take it, arc the Government itself; for remember, one large element of the enormous price you now pay for tea, and coffee and sugar, and such necessaries of life, is the heavy duty in gold and silver, which the Government exacts. But, except the duty thus paid, and the little interest which they promise to, pay on the public debt, there is nothing about us or around us, but a vast ocean of ins in vertible and irredeemable paper, increasing every moment that the bleeding artery of war expenditure continues to how." We haVe italicized some of the worst pas sages of this infamous paragraph. Need we recall the fact, that this same man, Wit B. REED, was the advocate and paid attorney of the Bank of the United States ? He did not then see in that mighty engine. a cen tralizing power, a vast political 13riareus, whose arms extended to every section, and . whose hands were filled with bounties to party leaders. On the contrary, these very elements made it more acceptable to him, and stimulated his pensioned pen and well paid oratory. Now, if there is one achieve ment of Mr. lirtccomt's .A.dministration that attests and proves the power and resources of our people, it is the marvellously suc cessful management of the nationfinances.zi. Shorn of the objectionable features of the Bank of the United States, it is hailed with gratitude by friend and foe. No solvent bank need rear its rivalry ; and who will not bless the mind that created a currency that is gradually abolishing from circulation worthless and irredeemable bank-note.s, the bane of all industry in past years ? This shameless libeller tells the people that we resorted to this financial system because, " in point of truth, the sources of real and substantial credit are cut off by our own in sanity ;" an insanity, mark it, resulting only from the tyrannical operations of precisely such partisan despots as Mr. REED himself. But we are told that "no one abroad will lend us money." Is this man really igno rant of the fact, that nothing has so fully proved our capacity for self-preservation as our triumphant reliancetipon those boasted resources of real and substantial credit, Which he falsely tells us " have been cut off," and our proud scorn of foreign aid ? Fitly following this treasonable reasoning, we have a crowning falsehood, constantly proved and known to all the nations of the earth, in the words, "that no one at home, Will, if they Call help it, pay taxes." And this is the first time we have ever heard I that, when our people become afraid to hold the Treasury-notes "they change them into a loam" In other words, the paradox is insisted upon, that they show their distrust of their Government by per manently investing their means in its secu rities I One more extract, and we again italicize such sentences as establish the incurable and ••chronic treason of a man who while attempting to show that freedom of speech and freedom of the press have been crushed by Mr. LINCOLN'S Administration, at the same time with impunity arraigns his own Government as being guilty of the worst of crimes, and compliments and honors those who are seeking after its life in the field of battle : "So much for currency. Now, what shall I say of the other Federal centralizing device, by/ which-wet forms ace forced on the backs of those who do not wish to fight, and a heavy task is laid, not according to any principle of law or constitution, but by 101 l This it will be admitted, is a very imperial sort of decree, by which Mr. Lincoln declares every able bodied citizen of Pennsylvania, from eighteen to forty-five, a soldier in his army—to be hand-cuffed, if need be— to be put in any regiment he chooses, and to be re lieved from service only by paying into his treasury a tax of three hundred. dollars. I believe myself that this impressment law —as my ingenious towns man, Judge Cadwaltider, who remembers how odious impressment once was, properly stigmatizes it—as a mode of recruiting the army, teal been an absolute failure ; and I think the experience of every township in this State will prove it to be so ; and, therefore, in its practical military relations, I do not care to speak of it. But as a measure of taxation it has been more of a success. This has been the case in the part of the country where I happen to live, and I presume has been the case everywhere. From my rural home, not an individual conscript was obtained. All who were willing to go had gone already, and many had come back after months of sulerino, in their coffins or on their crutches but, for the poor men who werethe victims, money was liberally raised by Democratic contributions. Those who could afford it gave out of their abundance, and the poor men gave out of their little means, and the result was the distribution over a small - neighborhood of a sharp poll-tax—varying from one to three hundred dol lars—letrk d exclusively on Democratic citizens." Not content, however, as the foregoing Passages prove,, with this laborious eflbrt to dishonor and depreciate the currency of the Government, and to discourage enlistments, this bold sympathizer with treason appeals to mob violence, and attemps to array first, what he calls the Democratic soldiers, and then the people themselves, against the offi cers of the law : "Now, my friends, this is no illusion—l mean the possibility of this imminent danger. Reasoning from the past, I should think it very imminent, for Interference in the most offensive way has been the policy of the Administration in every State where a critical election was about to occur. It was so in Maryland, in Delaware, twice in Kentucky, in Con nrcticut, In New Hampshire, and in Ohio; And I beg you to recollect the interference, whether direct or indirect, was graduated according to latitude and geography. It was sharp and severe in Maryland and Delaware, Kentucky, and Ohio, It was gentle and insidious in the more favored climes of Connec ticut and New Hampshire. What mode of inter- , ference we are to be honored with dependi, no doubt, on the exigency of the case, and the hopes and fears of those within our borders who control the relations or the Government to Pennsylvania. If it be in the mild Connecticut way of sending back from the army only those soldiers whose votes could be relied on, I do not know that there is any help for it ; but I dO know, and say it with emphasis, that the Democrcatic soldiers will never forgive the men, or the party who keep them facing Lee's pickets or Beauregard's batteries, whilst the - favored Republicans are sent back to vote a party ticket. A Democratic soldier, if he reaches home, will have to vote with the fear of New Hampshire ' discipline before his eyes. This may be the mode of treat ment intended for us; or it may be the sharper one applied to our neighbors of Delaware and Maryland. I should not be at all surprised to hear Mr. Secretary Seniarirs bell jingling their messages of tyranny a fort night hence, or Governor Curtin sending for military assistance, as diet nicks and Cannon in our neighboring Slates. "And be it so, my fellow-citizens, what will be the result? This is a question there is some difficulty in answering. It -is quite possible, 811th is the prevalent demoralization, that it will be siebniitted to, so that the cup of our degradation should be Jilted 19 the very edge. Per hops-when it overflows and fails 'on the burning soil around, it will burst Wm the oil from your hills into a consuming flame, that no common power can extinguish. I have seen in my own city men dragged away to grit on by . Executive warrants and kept in loathsome pills for months, and.then discharged for want of an accuser. I have seen newspapers first mobbed, and then seized by the warrant of a District Attorney, suppressed for a season and then released without trial. 1 bare seen white man, welkin , / on the common highway, shot down by a negro sentinel; because lee did not more on Om roughly Ordered, Iha re seen . and seen it sntanitted to; and he midi be bold indeed who can predict what the people of 'Peningl polio would do when the crowning blow is struck al (heir most sacred of all vrivileges—the elielive franchise. Let us hope the cxy . )criment will not be made. The Copperhead dread of the votes of the returning and convalescent soldiers is here Sought to be concealed in the first of these scandalous paragraphs, in which this bold, bad man asserts " that only , favored Re publican soldiers are sent back to vote a party ticket." How overwhelming the reply to this atrocious calumny ! If the returned soldiers refuse to vote, as in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred they do, for such men as WooDwAno, it is because they re member with hate and scorn, that such men as WI Liner B. REED are the organs of the so-called Democracy. It is because they remember and follow the illustrious exam- ples of such hero Democrats as ROSECUANS, Jonr; A. LooA - N, BUTLER, SLEEPLEY, HOOICER, MEADE, and many others, who, though probably not Eke STONEWALL JAcn sow, .‘‘ Christian heroes of whom any nation might be proud," nevertheless have suffi cient brains to hold in abject contempt and scorn the dark plotters of treason at home, who, in the sacred and sadly-abused name of Democracy, encotrage the armed myriads to whom they are opposed in the battle field. The appeal to force and to mob law needs no elaboration. It speaks for itself. Such is the feast spread before the Demo cratic masses of Pennsylvania, by the ac cepted leader of the Copperhead party. We do not believe that he speaks the senti ments even of his own followers. It is their misfortune that he is their mouthpiece, and they must either reject his counsel or accept the responsibility of his utterances. Bat, - whatever may be the effect of these open appeals to violence, and these complacent and persistent falsehoods, it is certain that Wm. B. REED has once more established his inherited right to the title of traitor to his country. Greece and Alexico. There are two men now in Europe whose fortunes may appear hi to run in parallel lines, yet may eventuate very differently. These are PrinCe CIIRISTIAN-WILLIAM-FER DINAND-ADOLPHIIS-GEORGB, second son of the crown Prince of Denmark, and Fintar NAND-IieIAXIMILTAN-JOSEPH, next brother of the , Emperor of Austria. Both were lately offered crowns in remote lands, with which they had not the remotest personal, national, or political connection. One has accepted, and is King of Greece. The other is in doubt, and may accept the diadem of Mexico. Eleven months ago the Greeks, effecting a bloodless revolution, deposed OTIIO, their king, whose incapacity they had borne, with great patience, for thirty years. He returned to his native Bavaria, - uthere he will probably remain, " mute inglorious," to his dying day. With a sudden inapulse, which, however, is supposed to have been engi neered by the British Minister at Athens, the Greeks elected as their King Prince ALVIIED, second son of .the Queen of Eng land, and then a midshipman in the British navy. This lad had recently completed his eighteenth year, and,it - may well be supposed, was nominated as successor to exiled Orno chiefly on political grounds. It was hoped that England, with one of her own princes on the throne of Greece, would become a very strong ally of the Greeks. Family ar rangements, however, which had proVided that Prince Arsu'ED should be recognized as heir-presumptive to his childless uncle, the Duke of Saxe•Cohourg-Gotha, induced 'the British Government to decline, in the name of the Royal midshipman, the crown which Greece, with great unarifinity, prayed him to accept. This done, after months of needless delay, the Greeks had to look about for another ruler. They elected the Danish prince whom we have named,—also a naval cadet, who will attain the ripe age of eighteen next Christ mas Eve. Hole the second son of a Ger man prince, of the house of Schleswig- Holstein-Sonderbourg-GluckAbourg, - who, some - ten years. ago, was elected Crown Prince of Denmark (after great opposition), the King _and his uncle, since dead, being without children. • The Act of Settlement under which the Guelph family reign in England peremptorily provides that the sons and daughters of that house shall marry only with Protestants—and, when it was deemed expedient for the Princeof Wales to become " Benedick the married man," the Princess ALEXANDRA of Denmark was • selected for him, which made her hitherto obscure family well known to the world, and, no doubt, in duced the Greeks to select . him as their King, very naturally thinking that the brother-in-law of the Prinee of. Wales would probably be backed up by England, should his reign in Greece become troubled: There are strong reasons for believing that Eng land pointed out this young Prince to the Greeks, for it has been decided that he is to marry the Princess HELENA, VICTORIA'S third daughter, who will be eighteen next summer. Besides, England, on his aeces "sic n, will / increase the territory of Greece, by surrendering the lonian Islands to it King GEORGE I. of Greece has executed an agreement, by which he renounces for him- selfand heirs, his right of succession in favor of his younger brother, a gentletnan not yet five years old. " The Archduke - MAXIMILIAN of Austria, who has been offered the imperial crown of Mexico, is now thirty-one years old, brother of the Emperor of Austria, son-in-law of the King of the Belgiums, and cousin, by mar 7 riage, of the Qdeen of England and the Orleans princes: He showed capacity, as well as liberality, as Viceroy of Venetia, before the Italian war, "and is vice- Admiral of Austria. Between him and the succession to the crown of Austria stands only his nephew, son of the Emperor, a lad born in. 1858. French intrigue,' or rather something between a suggestion and - a com mand from NAPOLEON 111. has so managed that a handful of persons in Mexico, traitors to the republic; have offered to place MAxr miLIAN on the throne, thus re-introducing monarchy. It has only lately been disclosed that, in October, 1801, beforb ever one* soldier had quitted France for Mexico, an offer of the Crown of Mexico had been made to M,Lxr- MILTAIc, by NAPOLEON 111. It is palpable, therefore, that MAxnumAx's becoming NA POLEON'S cat's-paw and lieutenant in Mexi co was a cut-and-dry arrangement before the French invaded Mexico: GEOnGE I. will be the independent ruler of Oreece. But MAXIMILIAN L will can be NAPOLEON'S 10C21711 , tenens in MeXico. - It is believed that the Emperor of Austria has determined to throw no obstacle in the: way of his brother's elevation—if- eleva tion it be. But MAxiItIMAII has been in formed that on accepting the crown of Mexi co, he must abandon, at once and forever, all claim to belong to the House of Austria. That is, his younger brotherCenr, or Lows may succeed to the crown of Austria if the present heir-apparent die ; but MAximmtAx, once that he goes to Mexico, will absolutely, be as much.an alien in Austria as if he had ; never set foot upon its soil. Added to this, MAxpnra'AN is childless, though for more than six years married, and, therefore, on his death in Mexico troubles may be antici pated there on the question of succession. Besides, there is but a slight prospect that the empire, if established in Mexico, will possess any stability. Lastly, the debt of Mexico to foreign nations will hang round its neck like' a mill-stone, for there are no means of paying it off, except by appropri ating the. enormous wealth of the Church, and 3.lAxmamAN, a Catholic prince, would scarcely do that. The chance of obtaining another loan from European capitalists is scanty, indeed. MA.ximtwArr, too, would probably have to commence his reign by severing Sonora or Lower California, or both, from Mexico, as recompense to France for the cost of its invasion. This would not make him popular. The king of Greece, elected with the con currence of France, England, and Russia, (the three Powers who originally established Greece as a monarchy,) backed up by Eng land, which presents him with the lonian Islands, gives him. a well-dowered wife, guarantees him a liberal income, and will lend him money if required, seems likely to, . have a prosperous career, and the English princesses being notoriously prelific, may `reasouel)ty hope. - for :an heir to . whom his • It -4 1: .11 4 PITTA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1863. crown may descend. if MAximm&N ac cept the crown of Mexito, he will :have to surrender numerous adVantages on• the un certain chance of thriving in Mexico, a country of which he knowS nothing, with inhabitants very impatient of submitting to any government, except one founded on re volt, maintained by bloodshed, and likely to be overturned by intrigue. The cause of the supporters of Mr. Justice WOODWARD must be desperate indeed if we may judge from the.high-handed measures to which they arc resorting in order to de prive Union men from voting.. We learn from the most undoubted authority that the Democratic assessors in some of the wards are refusing to enroll the names of soldiers .now in camp near the city on the ground sole ly that they are enlisted in the service of their country, their homes being still in the wards where they ask to be assessed. We could not have credited this statement had it not been made by one of our best:knoWn and most respectable citizens, who witnessed the refusals here referred to within the last twenty-four hours. The eleventh-hour pre tensions of the COperhead candidate to prosecutg the war arc effectually unmasked by these efforts to defraud men of their votes for no other reason than that they are sol diers and friends of the Union. BEFORE the New York World meddled with Pennsylvania polities, it should have studied them. We should not refer to its latest attack upon THE PRESS, were it not for the gross ignorance it betrays. "Nothing could be more satisfactory to a candid mind than Mr. Justice WOODWARD'S letter, says the World, without the slightest reference to Mr. ToDD's reply .to,lthat letter. If the writer had read THE Prtuss before„denoun cing it, he might haveleashe wncharge Mr. Justice WoODWAItD with disloyalty upon good authority. Mr. Justice WOODWARD denies that, -in a conversation with Judge HALL, he ever avowed belief in secession, and says that he knows no Judge HALL. The Nrovid thinks "nothing could be more satisfactory." But we declare that no Union man ever charged him with avowing belief in secession to " Judge HALL," a name that has no owner in-this State. But with the Hon. H. B. WRIGHT, Mr. Justice Woos- • WARD Will probably admit he is, acquainted, and we charge, upon goed - authority, that in a conversation with that gentleman, he defended the constitutionality of secession, and denied the power of the Government to coerce into submission a rebellious State. What avails it, then, that he knows no " Judge HALL ?" His business is to meet the assertions of honorable and well-known citizens, plainly made ; not to evade them upon the pretext that he does not know an imaginary "Judge HALL." As for the World, its abuse is as inconsistent as its ar gument, though certainly not so weak. When it accuses " the flunkieS of the Ad ministration" of "downright ribaldry," we are reminded of one of the old ladies who sell fish Billingsgate, denouncing yespecta ble citizens for using bad.language. THE HON. JAMES M. SOOVEL was nomi nated by acclamation yesterday,,,for State Senator, by the National Union Convention at Blackwood town, N. J. Mr. SCOVEL de serves this honor, and New Jersey Will ad vance her own interests, and do the Union good service, by electing him. To the Editor of The Press: Sat : In The Press of to day, and also in the other journals that receive their European news through the agency of the Associated Press, the following sentence, in the preface to the summary of the in telligence by the Europa, is to be found : "It .is rumored that the Gonfederate envoy at London has been withdrawn, in COASequence of the meanness of the British Gaverninerzf. 3, Wishing to ascertain what.particular act of mean ness the British Government had committed, I care fully examined the news•items in the telegram. All that I could find was this : "The London Herald, adverting to the rumored probable recall of Mr. Mason from London, Rays it is, in consequence of the systematic rudeness with wLich he has been treated." I take the liberty `of doubtin.• whether, if the' British Government did treat Macon, the traitor, with" systematic rudeness," that can be properly in. terpt eted, by any rational man, as mean conduct. A mau may be rude without being lnemi. 'or example, when Benedict Arnold, that dyed.in.the.-wool traitor, presented himself in the drawing-room of St. James's Palace, old George the Third treated him with Alai tive rudeness, by turning his back on the Judas; and, to far from this being accounted meanness, it won golden "opinions for the monarch, not in England alone, bnt wherever it became known. Yet this was positive, though exemplary, rudeness. It does seem very strange to me that the British Government should be accused of meanness, simply because, professing neutrality, it has treated Traitor Mason " with systematic rudeness." Either the. Liverpool summary writer for the Associated Press strongly sympathizes with. Bebeldem, or he uses wards the full and various meaning of which he is ignorant of. At any rate, he ought not have told the 'United States that it was mean of the British Government to have behaved rudely to the agent of a rebel confederacy. If Lord Russell did so behave to Mason, I shall cheerfully acknowledge that it conslderably raises that noble but diminutive peer very much in my estimation. PRISOIAN. OCTOBER 1, 1863.

S. STEAM•SLOOF WYOMINO, YOKOIIANA t Tilly 23, 1263, SSR : On the evening of the tOth, news Wfie re ceived, through a .Tapariese source, that an Ameri can steamer had been fired on by a bark and a brig belonging to the Prince of Nagato, at the western. outlet of the inland sea, anti that she had disappear ed, and was nupposed to be sunk. A mail from Shanghae the same evening brought authentic information that the American steamer Poubrohe, on her passage from this place to Shang her, through the inland sea, had been fired on by the above vessels, and had made her escape through the Bongo passage. On the 13th we left this place for the scene of out rage, and arrived off the inner entrance of the west ern outlet of the inland sea on the morning of the lath. On the tide proving favorable we proceeded in the Straits, and at the opening off the town of Simone,- sak discovered a steamer, brig, and bark•of•war at anchor, with the Japanese colors at the peak, and thejlag of the Prince at the fore. We steed for the vesrelo, and on approaching them were fired on as we got within range by six batte ries, On different positions, mounting from two to four guns each. Passing between the brig and bark, on the star board side, and the steamer on the port, we received and returned their fire at pistol shot. Bounding the how of the steamer, and getting in Joeition, we maintained the action for about one lour. . During the affair the steamer got underway, but two well.directed shots exploded her boilers. The brig appeared to be settling by the stern, and no doubt sunk. The amount of damage done the bark must have been Serious, and there must have been great destruc tion on shore. The straits , oppoaite the city are about three, fourths of ,a mile wide, with strong currents, which made it very difficult to manoeuvre the ship proper. ly, as I had no charts and my pilots were complete ly paral3 zed, and I was apprehensive of getting ashore. In fact, I did touch once. I was then in duced to withdraw out of action. The fire from the- chore battery was extremely brick, and continued so as long as we were in range. We were hulled eleven times, and with considerable damage to the smoke.stack and the rigging aloft, which wee attributed to our passing within the range they were prepared for. I regret to state the loss of four killed and seven wounded, one of whom has since. died. Enclosed is the surgeon's report. It affords me much pleasure to state that the conduct of the officers and crew was all that I could defilre. Lieutenant Barton, in charge of the first division, Makes honorable mention of the conduct of Acting Master's Mate J. E. Sweeney; Peter King, senior captain of the forward pivot guns; Thomas Sad ler, captain of the top ; and Charles 3. Murphy, seaman. I Would also mention - the cool conduct of Frank Wyatt, boatswain's mate r captain of the after pivot gun, and Edward Tenney, captain of the top, and second captain of the after gun. The Prince of Nagato, it appears, has commenced this war on his own account, as he is one of the most powerful and influential of the Princes of the Empire, and bitterly opposed to foreigners; but the punishment inflicted and in store for him, will, I trust, teach him a lesson that will not soon be for gotten. On the 7th inst., the French 4pp:itch-steamer Kien Chang passed through, on her way to Shang• hae, and was fired oa and considerably injured, and on lith, her Britannic Majesty's ship Medusa was also fired on, and sustained some damageland a lose of four men and seven wounded. As soon as the outrage on the French steamer was known here, the French Admiral Juarez left with his flag-ship and a gunboat for Simono saki, and no doubt will complete the punishment due for the wanton violation of existing treaties. The Jamestown was at Woosung on the 16th, to sail immediately for this port via Nagasaki: I shall await her arrival. I enclose a proximate plan of the straits, the posi tion of the vessels and shore batteries, and our course, etc., etc. All of which is respectfully submitted by your obedient servant, D. McDOUGAL, Commander. To GIDEON W-ELLIIS, Seoretary of the Navy, Wash ington. ARMY OF TRH POTOMAC, Movements of the Rebels—Troops Going Northward near the Blue Ridge. WASHINGTON, Oct. I.—lnformation has been re ceived from the Army of the Potomac that affairs are apparently unchanged. Nothing Is transpiring to indicate any immediate active operations. The rebels are in strength on the south side of the Rapidan, supposed to be General Hill's entire The rebel pickets are on the west and north aides of our lines. A few days ago a considerable column of rebel troops was observed going northward, near the Blue Ridge, perhaps forming a part of the force reported to be concentrating in the valley. Col.

TS PROGRESS AND IMPROVEMENTS Thirty Thorumuit People on the rounds— he Race-Course, auit the Several , De llor+3ntuts Crowded. to Overilowi Third Day. [Specially reported for ne Prem.l GETTING OUT TO THE PAIR The niede in which passengers yesterday were conveyed to the State Fair must, at least, have been gratifying to their curiosity. It approached a satisfaction of the question, of how many human beings can be crowded together without danger of being smothered. The five minutes past eleven A. II train started in the neighborhood of twenty five minutes of twelve, and, after multitudinous stop pages, reached its destination in the neighborhood of one o'clock: The scene at the Greenistree: ddpOt not only defies description, but description also defies it to be described. The mush and jam and squeeze around the ticket-oftice can only be ap. preCiated by those who were in it, and .by the self-possessed end tortuously-fingered gentlemen who officiated at the pigeonhole. You wrig gled in to obtain a ticket, and you wriggled out when you had obtained one, sand found yourself in a long line of passengers who eyed each other, and some over crammed cars, with a kind of cannibal and devouring aspect. Some of the most enterprising made a rush and a crush, and actually obtained something that under the circumstances was complimented by the title of a seat. Some twenty minutes of expectation ensued. A rumor buzzed around, that a train to the left was the one to - be taken. One universal rush, a kind of perambulatory jam, immediately took place. People rushed to the car-doors, and then rushed back again, following out the same principle oh served--by that interesting Gallic hero, who in legendary lore is reported - to have ascended an acclivity with some forty thousand odd men, anti then, thinking it a poor rule which would . not Work both ways, to have immediately descended. At length the rumor became more pregnant with truth. A dense mass of outsiders, who had been patiently waiting for three- quarters of an hour, charged bayonets on au unalTending car, and com pletely put it to rout—that is, the route to Norris. town. An official despatch came informing every one inside the ddpdt that they were in the wrong care. The cars were turned inside out immediately, and standing seats were provided on the platforms of the right train of cars, and on the "bumpers" between them. The prospect afforded to those who had the opportunity of footing it of course compen sated for the attending discomfiture, and the mo mentary stoppages only prolonged, and therefore enhanced, the enjoyment. Indeed, the ride from. Philadelphia to Norristown was one pleasant series of rushes and of being penned up. The present re porter had the privilege of being partially crushed by two ladies, (one on each knee,) and of treading upon corns, to say nothing of bunions, too-nume rous to mention. GETTING IN AGAIN. If getting out is pleasant, getting in again is one hundred times pleasanter. People began to leave the Fair for the half-past-six-o'clock train as early as four o'clock. Those who did so were faiasighted and prudent. Every one to whom fresh air' and a COnsfOrtable seat are indispensable should have taken that same means to procure it. After half past five o'clock, the endeavor to obtain a seat- or standing room that was standing room was prepos terous. From personal knowledge, this can be vouched for. A dreary line of males and females sat cooped up on the dapot-rail like chickens gone to roost, and poured into the jammed train, whilst they made up their minds to wait for the half past seven-o'clock line. When that line came in, it is to be feared it was already more than comfortably full of posh•ahead passengers, who had met and took possession of the train a half mile or so below. A number of exquisite jokes were made on the occasion : "Plenty of room on top ;" " Where's the conductor?" " All aboard :" " Pull the string ;" "Suppose the Wissahickon bridge gives way 1" " Then we'll all go to Heaven in a bunch !" "Now come, you young man ;" " Afew seats on top yet—my wile's up there ;" " Hallo ! Sandy, that you? only had enough oars you could fill fifteen ;" "Please let me inside, I could soon fill a vacancy ;" "No room for paupers ;' "Pull that bell, then she'll go " I shall lose a considerable amount of money unless I reach the city to-night ;" If I was only inside I wouldn't care ;," "Plenty of room in the arsolting , car ;" "Squirm down on the bumper, there ;" "Say,-Sal, there he is ;" "Please, gentlemen, don't any of you come off for me ;" "Moved and seconded that all- the men take the women on their laps ;" " Make room, gen. tlemen, we're the president, secretary, and trea surer of the company ;" "Say, are you the man that wanted to arrest me?" "Do your shoving your ownself," etc., etc., etc. These are the phrases that mutually regaled the ears that heard the mouths that uttered them. It was a pleasant feature, how ever, that not the slightest ill feeling was evident in word or action, and that everything, both on and off the grounds, passed off with the utmost unanimity and good will. THE TRIED DAT S S PROGEAMEE embraced the Grand Cavalcade at 9 o'clock A. M. In this appeared the firemen of Norristown in equip ments, and Fairmount steam fire engine and Hu mane steam fire engine of this city. The programme likewise included, at -10 o'clock, the appearance of all horses entered in Class No. 12, embracing matched horses, for carriages, pairs, and geldings; at 11 o'clock the pacing match; at 12 o'clock the trotting match for premium of $2O; at 1 o'clock trotting of stallions (committee thirteen),; at 2 o'clock trotting for the premium of $lOO, and at 3 o'clock appeared the double fancy trotting teams. The Executive Committee was expected to meet at rooms in Norristown, opposite the Court House, on Swede street, at 7 o'clock last evening. TC-DAY'S PROGRAMME includes the cavalcade at ten o'clock A.

THE CATTLE, FLORAL, NECHASUCAL, AND ACES- departments present nothing very new. The last named was completely choked up with visitors. How everybody managed to see everything is a matter of speculation. The individual who - could thread such a crowd would deserve to meet with com plete anomie in running between rain-drops. Among the display of mechanic arts we noticed Goilin's sau sage•chopper, and the newspaper folding machines of Chambers, Brother, & Co. These machines are de signed expressly for the rapid and more perfect fold ing of newspapers. Heebner's mower and reaper, the Pratt & Smedley rake, " the father of the field Shoreman's patent self-discharging horse-rake, the. New York self-raking reaper and mower, Avery's improved patent horse-power, the Union lifting jack, to which; as being very meritorious, we have already referred ; James Houana'n stoneware poet butt and iron-bar fence, Reber's portable folding fence, and. the exceedingly simple, compact, and effi cient mower and reaper entered by Mr. W. Si. Ste venson, are articles which the machinist will con templatewith very considerable interest s and which farmers will view with no less. TNE TOTTII OP TEE TENTS will give one a good idea of. the "humors" of the Fair. Any quantity of public performers ' volunteer, for a consideration, to no every kind of wonderful teat. In one large tent, for the accommodation, and not Expressly for the amusement of the public, the public sits and accommodates itself. This, by-the bye, is the only place where you can sit in the shade. The benches there are covered with women and children, who enjoy a pleasing prospect of each other, and who, it must be owned, breathe, per force, a not altogether unvitiated atmosphere. To enter one of the amusement tents is qukte satis factory. In the language of an oral advertiser, "All who go in come out with smiles on their faces.) , An enclosure, not as fragrant as it might he, and a nondescript combination of articles which constitute a most unmitigated humbug, furnish the means of entertainment so glaringly advertised. Spangles and bugles and tights are not sufficient to pall upon the most meagre curiosity, and, for the sake of the proprietors, we refrain from dwelling upon exhibi tions which, if they please the masses, do not fur nish satisfactory evidence that the masses which attend the fair are in a very intelligent and refined condition. The grounds, on the contrary, are thronged with the best ducated people from all parts of the State—the best farmers and the bast families being represented. To. day, it will to remembered, is the last day of the State Fair. As we anticipated, the Fair was yesterday attended by three times the number which attended on Wednesday, and probably many more will be present to-day. Itis computed that between twenty•eight and thirty thousand must have yester day visited tbe grounds. The clear sky and pleasant temperature very considerably enhanced the enjoy ment. The general good feeling and entire absence of discord have been the moat gratifying features in the tone of the present exhibition: A Rama, ORCULAR.—The Louisrille Journal. prints the following circular of the rebel Col. llama ton, the authenticity of which it vouches for: HEAD QR.'S TIAMILTONS BATTALION ?

Minister Burlingame informs the Department of State that "the Imperial Government, in response to my request for an extension of time in which to re-export native produce, from three to twelve months, has most handsomely met my wishes. We present the reply of Prince Rung : Ilia' Imperial highness, Prince Kung, Chief Secretary of the Chinese Government for Foreign Affairs', herewith replies: I have the honor to acknowledge a communica tion from your Excellency, in which you show that the drawback certificates for half duty on goods stored for re-export should not be limited to three months—a period ranch too short—but ought to be extended to a full year. It appears that the mer chants who bring native - produce down the Yangtsy Kiang to Shanghae pay full,taritr export duty ,wtien it leaven its original port, and hail duty when to be re-exported to another port. Such produce, being duly reported to the cuetoma when the merchant wishes to send it out of port, pays half duty; and if it is within three months he can re-enter it at an other port on presentation of the drawback certifi cate, which is received as valid for the duty. Now, since that in the despatch under reply your Excellency observes that the time for three nroaths allowed in the drawback certificates, during which this produce must be re-exported, must be regarded as much too short, I have extended the limit to a year. Therefore, after this date, whenever produce, Drought down the Yangtsy to Shanghae, hasebeen reported to the customs for re-exportation at -any time within a year, they shall, on aacertaiaing that the goods are in their original packages, neither broken open nor abstracted from, and their number and weight correct, and all particulars tally with the original report, grant a drawback certificate for hair cuty, to be substituted for the former certificate, and delivered to the holder of the goods as evidence of the duty having been paid. 1 shell inform the Superiatendent Of Commerce reepecting this regulation, and instruct him to send orders to the custome officers for them to act ac cordingly ; and I DOW, likewise, send. this reply to Sour Excellency, requesting that you will inform yourself upon the whole subject. To his Excellency As sox BUP.LIIMAME,, .S.-. 0. SELLII.;G TILE COXFEDERACT To FAA:NCIS.—On this subject the Richmond Examiner ilaye : "This will not do. We are not fallen so low. The Confederaby owes nothing to, the Emperor of the French just yet. If he were to recognize us to morrow we should still owe him nothing, for we have won our independence single• handed and almost in spite of the world. In any treaties we may here after form with him we must approach him on equal terms; and can offer him at least an equivalent for any benefits which it becomes us to accept at his hands. A lower position, a more humble attitude than this, is not the thing our gallant childten have fought for these three years. They have fought to make their beloved country really independent and sovereign, not a protectorate, a province, a depend ency upon any monarch in the world. Woe to those who go about to pluck from her proud brow that crown of sovereignty which her sons have placed there with bloody hands, atter so many glorious fields 1 Woe to those who shall belittle the cause, or lower the crest of this young Confederacy, just born in the agonies of battle! "We 'mesa for warning. Let any ' agent' who dares to offer our honor far sale, or who basely in vites, or acquiesces in, or hints at any possible nego tiations to that end, cease to be our agent, or there will be a storm." "Sigma," in the Boston Transcript, writes of Bishop Hopkins, the ecclesiastical defender of slavery : " That the reader may know what manner of man this Mr. Hopkins is, we have only to state that he delivered a lecture, after he became bishop, in oppo sition to the temperance-reformation—net against any plutieular feature of the great enterprise, but against the entire scheme, or system. The postulate he assumed was, that the success of the Temperance Society would be the friePtini of infidelity.' This palpa ble absurdity he attempted to support, by a shallow sophism—for eighteen hundred years the Gospel had been pi eached,anct ]et internee, ante and druhkeepeee still continue upon the earth; now, if human as sociations can effect what the Gospel has not been able to effect, then the infidel may scoff at the Gos pel ! In such case, the infidel must be a booby, though he may not be a bishop. May not the GO2l - influence be shed upon combinations of mortals to carry out God's holy will, as well as upon indivi duals? Really, now, a cap and bells would be more becoming, upon the brows of this mischievous pre late. than a bishop's mitre. " Notwithstanding the folly and flimsiness of this production, the tipplers and araineeliern of Vermont seized upon it, with eagerness, and scattered it broadcast. Its arrant nonsense was no bar to its effectiveness, so long as its ex-cathedral character was established." A correspondent of the Herald thus describes Rosecrans at the last battle " He has three distinct characters, which require three different circumstances to reveal. In garri son, as at Murfreesboro', lively, good-natured, plea sant, and agreeable, fond of social games and conversations,. he had grown painfully less to one who had approached him with reverence for him as a great warrior; for he could see no traits of it. In movements—during his mantevres I mean—quick, lively, yet severe, his nerves strung to their greatest tension, and somewhat disposed to be excited over his plans and calcula tions, he creates in the beholder a curiosity as to his real nature, and one gets bewildered in seeing the opposing traits of the man. But on the morning of the nth, when it was evident that everything Was narrowed down to an.engagement, his manner as sumed a frigid dignity that was painful. Ile spoke in low tones, neither soft, nor pleasant, nor harsh, nor rough. Ilia nerves become solidified, ag he is a man of iron. tie sees everything, and notices no thing. You speak, and he looks at you kmoment and then turns away. All instinctively felgon that morning, that "Bogey" was not in his approachable humor " for, like the oracles, he talked with fate." The caUSe which reduced to the ranks General Roger A. Prsor, of the rebel army, was cowardice in Kuno skirmishes on the Rapidan. -A Id.e:dcan general is the guest ,of General Meade. C '3C .

THE EXTRA ASSESSMENT.—This is re last day of the extra assessment. Every man ho intends to vote the Union ticket should see that his name is on the list. It is a notorious ram that the names of respectable persons have been omitted in the printed lists by the assessors. Itfen who have lived in their present residences for many years, whose names are on the dooDpiates or bell-knobs, have been omitted by ignorant or knavish assessors. It is the duty of these public officers to assess every body but an saien, and yet we find many of this class" assessed, for political purposes, while many bona tide citizens are entirely lost sight of. There is a vast reformation wanted in regard to assessors. No man who is a habitual drunkard, or who can net-, ther read nor write, should be elected to such posi tions ; and yet there are some of this very class in flicted upon the people. If an assessor does not do his duty perfectly, the city commissioners could ea sily make a reformation by not signing his bills when presented. Some of the eopperhead - asses.sors certainly should not have their bills signed, so reck lessly and knavishly have they conducted them selves in their official capacity. ArISDEMEANOR it OFFICE. ---The Demo cratic assessor of the Twenty-first ward, on Wednes day evening, refused to assess William M. ktunkle, whose residence is in that ward, either the seventh or eighth precinct. Mr. Runkle voted on age last year, in the Twenty•iirst ward. Since that time he entered the service of the United States. He is now in this city, and purposes remaining for some time, on especial duty for the benefit of his country. The Democratic assessor should at once be arrested, be cause both Judges Allison and Thompson, holding the Court of Common Pleas, fettled this very ques tion yesterday. They decided, among other points,_ that the mere fact of a man being a soldier did not dirqualify him as a voter. Nobody but a knave or a fool could think otherwise. We well remember the time when marines were taken from the barracks at the navy yard to the polls, in the Second ward, to vote ; and their votes were received. IMPORTANT BALE OF FINE OIL PAINT INGS.—We desire to call special attention to the large and valuable collection of oil paintings now on exhibition with descriptive catalogues, to ba sold at auction on Friday and Saturday evenings, Octo ber lid and ad, at eight o'clock precisely, by Gillette & Scott, auctioneers., 619 Oheatnut street, and BIG Jayne street. The collection embraces some very fine- specimens of art by a number of our most ta lented artists : Paul Ritter, E. A. Somers, Keppen doff, Seymour, W. Moore, and others. Included in the collection we notice a very fine copy of OoePs celebrated painting of .the "Voyage of Lite," by Keppendoif ; "The Old Kill," by Paul Ritter ; also, several very tire medallion oil paintings, under con vex crystal gismo, which must be examined to be ap preciated. Paintings open for • examination until nine o'clock P. M. ri SUPRE.IIB t.,01:111.T ErATITRALIZATION PA PV.P.S.—It is very evident that some of the naturali zation papers, purporting to have been issued within the past few days, by Supreme Court of Pennsyl vania, are nothing more nor less than fraudulent, and for legal purposes are worth nothing. The judges of the election precincts should well examine all newly issued naturalization papers supposed to have been issued by this court, and take the respon sibility of stamping the word fraud upon them. In one election campaign nolleas than 6,000 fraudu lent papers were issued, purporting to have come through the medium of the Supreme Court. PERMITS ISSUED FOR.

Wilson, in Ninth street, below Market, was entered by means of skeleton keys, and robbed of a quantity of valuable clothing. The articles consisted of five coats, four pairs of pantaloons, two vests, cloth, &o. The thieves, when they took their plunder, left the door open and the gas burning ; having broken the tube, the gas flared so full as to endanger the whole building with.flre. No positive clue as to the perpetrators is known, but strong suspicion rests upon certain parties in the neighborhood. FRIGHTFUL RIENAWAY.—About 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, two horses, attached to a car tinge teturning from a funeral in the upper part of the city, were frightened by a bpy blowing a horn. They (lathed Gil' at a frightful speed. They came in contact with a horse anti wagon at Twelfth and Pop lar steels. The horse was severely injured. The concussion was so great that the harness snapped. The animals became more unmanageable, and, de tached fiom the vehicle, dragged the driver from his position. At the corner of Warnock and Poplar streets they came in collision with a horse and cart. One of the runaways was instantly- killed. The driver of the cart was severely injured. The driver of the carriage was also considerably injured. NEIN" COUNTERFEIT NOTE.—A twenty dollar counterfeit -note, Merchants , Bank of New Haven, Connecticut, IMO passed in the upper part of the city yesterday afternoon. A man giving the name of Wm. Spencer was arrested in- the Four teenth want, on suspicion of being concerned in issuing these new bogus notes. He was detained for a healing. FIRE.—The alarm of fire that prevailed, to a -limited Extent, in Philadelphia, between one and two o'clock yesterday morning, was caused by the burning of a couple of sheds, and several wa gons, at the foot of Federal street, Camden. The total will probably reach about $3OO. .ARRIVAL.—The U. B. steam transport Aahland, ,, Captain Ealing, arrived at this port yesterday, from Point Lootrout, via Fort Delaware. She - will take in coal at Richmond, and sail today on her return, with rebel prisoners from Cheater. Johnson, aged sixty years, belonging to Easton, Pennsylvania, fell into a culvert hole on the Ridge road, near the falls of the Schuylkill, on Wednesday . night, and was so badly hurt that his life is despaued of. FATAL ACCIDENT:-At six o'clock last evEiring, a rare, Landenterg, aged 80 years, was run Over and instal:My I.o.lled t on the Trenton 'gaits:nail, at Aramingt"...iX, SHALL THE SOLDIERS VOTla—Aft 80Rt8 01 the Democratic assessors have practically refine , ' to Roseau men who are soldiers, for which grave offense there may be a number of sults, it is well to quote the law in such cases. it No bony of troop" in the army of the United States, or of this Commonwealth, shall be present. either armed or unarmed, at any place of election within this Commonwealth during the time of sash election. "Provided, That nothing herein contained ehall be so construed as to prevent any officer or soldier from exercising the right of suffrage in the election dis trict to which lie may belong, if otherwise qualified according to law."
