The End of the tteti'clli ii.
The time seems rapidly approaching when
the Southern Confederacy will no longer be
even name, when the pretence of South
ern nationality will be relinquished, when
the States assembled under the banner of
rebellion will vpluntarily: dissolve their
league, and independently .return: to their
allegiance: For six mouths, the world has
watched with interest tlie increasing weak
ness of the rebellion—Weakness betrayed by
Many: signs, and not merely the relative
feebleness of Ali inferior combatant, but
the absolute weakness of a hollow 'and
bankrupt. cause. Financially the 'rebel-
lion is rtilned. Its armies arc crumbling
away,, its enthusiasm is decaying, and
that prestige of victory which it at u Arst
gained,:-has fallen before the tritimphahlid
vance of our armies!' The pallid star of re
bellion, which : at first, rod, burning, shot.
up the skief.clund threw its lurid glare over
half tlao:*cirld, now hangs coldly over its
graye West. Like a great comet,
Ztihiclririglit after night grows larger and
ii:fore appalling, seeming:a:thing eternal as
the sun, it shall decreaSe, and wane, and
Wither, and decline, finding a tomb in' the
:ilarkness out of which it myiteriously.
arose.
The rebellion can neither fight its way,
nor pay it, :nor extortfronithe fears or hopes
of: the World sufficient'aid to encdfrage its
own'leaders. It has in three ways hoped
' to. maintain itself : Firstly, by its own
-power ;.'seconClyi by. inducing Great
Britain or France to recognize:the Southern
Confederacy ; thirdly, by •
.tht help of the
Democratic party in the North. All these
hopes have failed, and not one more deci:7::
, '•Siiely than the first. The armies of the
:South havebeen : notoriously defeated, and
theflefeat is not tlie less Complete because'
of - the brilliant incidental victories they have
gawod These solitary and isolited'advau-,
ho - W:e ‘- 3likeriorable to the courage of
the Southern Mops and the skill of their
generals, -have. had :no permanent results._
The Government has .Won the campaigns,
has recorred State after State, and has
steadily pressed onward* spite of all resist
ance and all repulse. Repulsed in Georgia,
it, is now preparing ,another and irresistible
'advance. It is certain that the armies -of.
416 South will never achieve its indepentl
eoe.
1 11 4S2'not only because the United States
,has :tight upon its side, or that the states
manship of the Administration has had its
effect in counteracting the scheming of the
rebel agents in Europe, that England has
refused to recognize the South, but also be
cause, the English- Government has wisely
reflected that the United States has the
power to suppress the rebellion though
European- recognition should be • granted.
Upon the victories which the diplomatic
circular of the Secretary of State so ably
rehearses, England tacitly bases her refusal
to interfere. In ordering Mr. Misolt to
withdraw from England, the rebel, leaders
have confessed their diplomatic defeet, and
the comments of the English • press clearly
show that the rebellion has nothing further
to expect.' The Times is conclusive on this
point : " Recognition is not to be thought
of." It is unnecessary to recount the, rea
sons given for this statement. The , import
ant fact o of ;the 'European news is that Mr. -
MAsow has indignantly left England because.
the' English Government refused to admit
-his claims to diplomatic intercourse. Thus
the hope of succeeding by the interference
of England' in the war has, failed the re-.
hellion, as the hope reposed in its militney
ppwer has failed. Doubly disappointed in
these hopes, can it trust itself to the last

The warn the West
The announcement- that General ROSE
.
cliaNs has' been largelY reinferced Will be
read with pleasure, now that we have, it in
au official form, although it can be hardly
called news, for General LEE gave the infor
mation to' the rebel War Department a few
days since, and it has become a subject of
general newspaper comment. As to the Bat
tle of Chickamauga, we have a multitude - of
cl4talls, but not enough, to enable us to form
an opinion as to the real merits of the con
teat. In a general way, we may say that
BnAost's scheme- wa.s a failure. If he merely
intended to fight a battle, and loge a number
of men for the purpose of faking the lives of
a nunibeitif the men opposed to him, then
'his wish was gratified. But ROSECRANS is
MOW entrenched ; he holds Chattanooga ; he
bas recovered his wounded ; his army is en
deavoring, to gain strength from repose ; his
position is a strong one. BuRNSTDE is, we
may suppose, within striking distance, and
is either prepared to make'a diversion by
the way of the southeastern hills, called
the " back-door of - Virginia and the re
inforcements under Hoo - i - mi, as we learn
today, are now in camp near Chattanooga.
The best that ean.be said by General BRAGG
is that he has not been defeated. His army
succeeded in making- an impression upon
the corps of CRITTENDEN and - 31cCoox, but
was prevented, by the snperior generalship
of ROSECRANS and -TrromAs, from convey
ing that impression to the other - parts ef the
Federal army. There ends his cainPaign.
All that he has done must be done over again,
and all ho hoped to do still remains to be
aceomplishen.
The battle of Chickamauga was but the
beginning,of a series of contests to be fought
among - . these ,vorymountains of Northern.'
-Georgia. The 'fact that the, rebels have sent
LONGSTREET to the West shows that they
look iipon that field as one of more import
ance than Virginia, and worthy of sacrifices
even greater,tita,n Murfreeiboro and Chieica:

the challenge;• and . strengthens. Itos.Ecrimcs
:beyond any pesSibility - of be overpow
ered. It is possible that the Go - Veil:ors of
-Georgia and Virginia may have still in
creasd the rebel army by musters of militia
or conscriptions ; hut, for effective war, one
corps of-the Men now under command of
General Roca= will - be of more value
than all the conscripts that can be gleaned
in the Cotton States. There is another
-advantage -that we should not overlook.
The emintry occupied by the army. of
General 'IIOSEMIANS: is a loyal country.
The people these mountain - region!-are
-devoted to the Union. They_ have shown
this devotion-in every possible way ; and the
newspapers of Georgia and Tennessee have
had no mote-Constant themes than the ma
chinations of `the'" traitors," and-the 'eon=
-piracies of disaffected Southerners to evade
the rebel draft. Notwithstanding the , South
ern occupation of East TennesSee,, and the
mereiless, rigor of military rule t . we know
- that - that district has contributed Wordy
'thousand volunteers to the Union army; and
Las' ow a reserve force of fronifiv4 to
_thousand . being drilled. The, sentiment
of East :" - Tennesace penetrates Northern
Georgia, and General ROSECILINS will find,
that he is fighting. among friends.: The
rumors of.. ac,tivey, operations at Chatta
nooga, and of danger to Gen. Buxt-icstaa,
that' come to us from Cincinnati, are proba
bly little more than the speculations of 130 Ile
011 T ingenious newspaper friends in the
West. We anticipate great events from this
campaign. We know that both parties have
made every:effort to gain a triumph. The
issue is a vast one, and victory to our nuns
will be the great victory of the war. Those
who write of War as a science - have told us
that among these mountains the decisive
struggle between freedom and slavery will
take place, and it seems very much as if
their predictions„ will be verified.

. .
fEe, to a gentleman in this city, will show the joy
with which the Federal army, under General Burn
side, was received, as.well as the difference between
the conduct of the'redeutl and Confederate soldiers.'
The letter is dated -
"EAST TENNESSME, Sept. 20,_1863.--
"'Thanks 'to a kind Providence , that we, again
breathe in the land of the free, and the home of the
brave!' The Federal army is here, thousand
strong, Colonel Bird, a native East Tennessean, corn•
mending. He escaped from East Tennessee at the
commencement of the war, and his property was
confiscated. But he has returned in triumph. The
aevance guard came to our town on last Wednesday
a week, So great was ourjoy that we could scarcely
contain ourselves. They were met by the Stars and
Stripes, which wore prepared by the ladies secretly.
They, gave three cheers for the citizens, and . three
more tor the flag and the ladies. Tile next day the
Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, and East Tennessee boys
came into town, when we felt that the iron yoke
had fallen olt and we were once more free ! The
Stars and Stripes once more float from my dwelling.
The soldiers say they never met with such a warm
Inception, since the commencement of the war, as
they did here. They behave like gentlemen. I
have not seen a drunken soldier since they came
here. In this respect there is a marked contrast be
tween the two armies. We have suffered a great
deal, from the Southern army. They stole every
thing they could lay their hands on—horses, cattle,
sheep, carriages, harness, and even negroes. ' *.-
Upwards of one thousand persons have taken the
oath here since the arrival of the Federal army—a
huge number of them deserters from Bragg. The
conduct of the rebels here has done more for the
cause of the Union than anything else, and the con
trast between the two armies is so great that some
of our people are led to wish that the whole South
ern Confederacy was in h-11. •* I could write

General Lee's i►llicial Report of the - Pena,

Inv.a. ion
The Richmond Dkpalelt of Saturday last contains
General Lee's report of the Pennsylvania
Campaign. It occupies nearlythree columns of that
paper. The following were the: reasons for his
campaign this summer: " The position occupied by
the enemy, opposite Fredericksburg, being one in
which be could not be attacked to advantage, it was
determined to draw him from it. The execution
of this purpose embraced , the relief of the She
nandoah Talley from the treops that had °sett.
pied the lower part of, it 'during the winter and
spring, and, if practicable, ,the transfer of the
scene of hostilities north of the Potomac.
It was thought that in -the .corresponding move
ments 'on the part of the enemy to which those con
templated, by ui wouldprobably give rise, there
might be a fair opportueitylo strike a - blow at the
army then commanded by General Hooker, and that
in any event that armi would be Compelled to leave'
Virginia, and possibly to draw to its support the
troops desisned- to operate against other parts of
thecountry. In this way, it was' supposed that the..
enemy's plan of campaigmfor the summer would be

'for the Colintry, for the Goverrithente and for

Go into the army; go into every column of the army,
from the Potomac to the Mississippi you will not
find divisions as' ou find them here. l e ou find, it is
true, men who have been Demoorats, Native Ameri
cans. or adopted citizena, ifyou will, in the army, but
you do not find any differences as to the Support of the
Government. The men who fight for the flag suatain
the Administration. They whose, lives "are' offered
a sacrifice upon the altar of their country never -
think of queetionlng the acts, of this Administra
tion. Every voice that comes iiriafrom the.. army
comes up in favor of Andrew G. Curtin. [Applause.]
The enemies of the country talk about the meetings
of the soldiers in favor of Governor Curtin asman
aged by politicians. My answer to that is, why do
they not try to getup meetings for themselves? If
it be true that the soldiers are managed by poli
ticians, why do not the Democrats, shrewd poll,
ticiane as I have the honor to recollect them to be,
invite, meetings in favor of their candidates in. the
army? The truth is, that Democratic politicians,
going into the army for that purpose, would be as
heartily spurned as if they came there to arrange a
meeting for Jefferson Davis._ •
I am not here to-night to make you a speech,
but rather as a prologue, rather as an introductory
to one who will speedily follow me. But I want to
tell you a little incident. I mention this, so that if
there are any members of the Democratic party
bete present they may take it to their hearts. _ In
These times that which' terrifies intelligent men:
most isthe clamor of having left the Democratic
pasty. Thellemecrat who proposes to vote for An
drew G. Curtin; and - to throw away for the time his
patty prejudices, is regarded as a traitor,. and I have,
no doubt there are many here who feel in their
beasts that they ought to vote for Governor Curtin,
but are terrified by the cry that their neighbors .will
say, " You have left the Democratic -party',
have tam 1" To weak men - this is one of
the things calculated to induce a little tree

myself-[laughter]=and 1 know much braver men
than myself-will stand' affrighted at this cry. But
I will ,give you the incident to which .1
I referred e'
The other day I went to Lancaster, the city where
I was born. When I got there I beard the old cry.
"lie is an apostate;" "He is a traitor ;t , "lie hair
left the Democratic party." 'God knows', let messy ,
to you, I clung to - it as long as I could: [.Laughter_]:,
I may say this now, that when I did leave it; it was
when it was in the flush of its power and patronage. I.
Mr. Buchanan had imperial power. I did not leave
him when he had no offices to'give to me; I left him
when he threw theta as licit prizes at my feet. [Ap
plause.] This Much by way Of reference to myself.
I left belibul.at Lancaster a number of men who
hall been identified with the Democratic, party of
Pennsylvania. I said to myself, at that meeting,
"I will call the roll of the old DeMocratic leaders
of Lancaster county who are nowt living," and I
trust the reporter will remember'te put down the
rams as I utter them. It was a remarkable coin
eidence. =lt was a coincidence which, if there are
any, as I trust and believe there . are many, Derma.

of the party when livas a Democrat. These were the
knights,. the noblemen, the listened,. the courage,
and the genius of the Demoeratic party. I' leave
the lemon to you, Democrats. els. do not address the
the Republicans ; I do not adtaaess the old-line
Wedge. Their" teachings lead them- to do right.'
They are right now, any how. But I do appeal to
men who have, stood, with me in former battles.
Remember, you have a country to save, and that its
salvation is superior to the salvation of all politicial
parties. Now, gentlemen, if I may be permitted to
take from the chairman of this meeting the au
thority
and the duty, and possibly - the privilege,
allow me to present to you`Judge Shannon, of Alle
gheny, another Democrat, who will tell you in better
words what is your duty'in this campaign.
Judge Shannon then Mopped forward, and was
loudly applauded. I belong, said:be, to'Allegheny.
I am here to make a .Democratic speech. I shall,
therefore, speak with becoming propriety of those
men, from Vallandigham down-to Woou weed, who
assume to call themselves Demoorats. I ask you'
to-night what patent right these men have to speak
in the name of the Democracy 1 My Democracy was
given to me by Jefferson and Jackson. , I have read
the teachings of these men es assiduously as any
man in the,State, and from them I am authorized to
deny the right of the mecalled Democrats to talk in
the name of Democracy. Southern Democrats
brought on this war; it irnove carried on by South

a man who had once been an enemy of his country
and a traitor to its best interests.
Not all the gold of California, nor treasure of the

this hour of peril, the starry emblem of my country,
or the honest mart who upholds it. Call

please, but no man can be a Democrat who, in times
like these, would desert the Administration, who
are upholding the Government. The enemies of
the country may vilify the honest Democrats
as renegade Democrats. For my own part, I would
rather have the denunciation of Reed, Hughes, and
Woodward than their praises. I would consider
my manhood compromised by their eulogiums.

it is singular to Bay, that only twenty or thirty
millions or the thousand millions of the human race

Whigs .and Democrats; but when the country of
both is attacked, and its flag insulted, the beet men,
the patriotic nnd pure, desert their party and cling

the patriot and the traitor. There can he no shirk

At the conclusion, Morton Mcitliohael was intro
duced, and, jshortly, after his commencement, Gov.
'Curtin appeared upon the platform and created -
much enthusiasm. Three cheers were proposed and
given with a hearty good will, when Mr. McMichael
gave way to the Governor, who addressed the as
semblage Its follows :
I thank you for your kind reception. do not in
tend to conceal from you that I am anxious to be
re elected Governor of Pennsylvania: I am not
anxious personally to encounter the labor and trou
ble of my office again, but Lam anxious to be re•
elected for the sake of,my country. lam loyal and
tine to my bleeding country. So are you and every'
one in this great State who has not been misled by
sympathizers and, demagogues. I would that the
gentlemen placed in nomination by the Democratic
organization had declared for the country, had de.
Mated they would support the head of the Govern
ment in his tfiotts to suppress the rebellion. I be-,
lieve that loyalty bona which professes fidelity to'
the Government and fails to give the President an
active; support. hare canvassed the State openly
and in the light of day. I have no opinions to con
.teal. I have seen the sentiment or the people
manifest itself, and - I bring from all parts of the
State Vords of encouragement. It is all right; my
friends. (Applause.] -
I am for peace, but I would not repiesent the
people of Pennsylvania if I were not for an honora
ble peewit:and none other. Let the rebels return to
their 103 ally, and the war is over. If they do not, I
am- for compelling- submission by force. If you
wish a Governor who will not give to the Govern
ment all the power of Pennsylvania I ant not your
man. I claim no - credit for what I have done for
my country. It was my duty. If I faded to give
sympathy and support to the soldier, it was not my
fault. I have tried to be the friend of the soldier.
I wish he could vote. I have no doubt as to how he
would vote. [Laughter.] Be of good cheer. It is
all. right. Let each man work patiently. Let us
have a fair election. Let the great voice of Penn-

will be. well. The war will aeon close. We will
once more worship liberty when in the enjoyment
of- an honorable peace—such - a peace as will do us
co dishonor._ Then we will have rehewedeause for

The Gaeernor left the stage amid great appl a use.
Other speeohis-were made by Mr. Wm: IL Pkau..
rice and othere, and the meeting broke up at a late
hour with great enthusiasm.
Union Meeting. in the- Thirteenth Ward,
A large, and. enthusiastic meeting of the loyal
citizens of the Thirteenth ward was held last even
,
ing at Ninth and
. Spring Garden streets. A stage
was erected in the street, surmounted by the Ameri
can flag, and a number of Union lanterns. Beck's
bank was engaged for the occasion, and enlivened
the scene with appropriate music. The meeting
opened by, nominating Tames Lynd, Esq., for presi
dent. He made a few remarks and then introduced
Stephen - H. Seize - re:Msg., of Chicago, who said
lie came from a;far-off State, which, like Penn
sylvania, is in Proximity to a Border State, and
also has foes to contend with at home. Like you,
we have a noble Governor, and also brave soldiers.
It was with perfect satisfaction that he joined
h ands with those here in this great conflict. It Is
,
useless to gainsay here that traitors would stab at
the heart of the Government as well as those in
rebellion in the South. We are only at the culmi
nating point of the great rebellion instigated at least
fifty years ago.
Toombs and his Southern cohorts elected James
Buchanan, because it would aid them in carrying
through their plans to destroy this Government.
The Governor of New Tork was elected in part
by patriotic men, who had the interests of the
State at heart. He and Fernando Wood were
united - in their efforts to create a mob there,
and paraleze the present Government in its acts.
The war is honest; it has progressed two years' or
roore;and has brought with it much sacrifice. We
all. do doubt, desire it to be at an end. There is
only one way by which it can be ended, and that is
unite firmly together and aid the Government. War
is not .the conflict of one day, but it is the' conflict
of generations. In all times there have been those to
use their own prerogatives. We have such in our
. country, and it is to them we owe this struggle. To
come to some test of this struggle, we must totally
[
overthrow the alined force that now presents itself..
In proof of this our opponents, in their own ideas, -
criticise the means and measures which the Admi-•
- nistration adopt. When, in the absence of any war,
were there not mistakes made I But one thing is cer
tain, the Government in the prosecution of this war
is pregresairg; one thing is certain, traitors have
I . bit the dust. Your old State of Pennsylvania has
a glorious reCordin this struggle, and your Govergor
has assisted in every way to aid the Government in
putting down this rebellion. [Cries of • " Thater
roe , and applause.] There rue those that corns

'eery well, but we have one that will do better. This
is not co, for his record does not show it. This can •

the bloody field of Gettysburg, in a conversation,
said that lie, had no sympathy: with the present
struggle, Dis heart hart:memo en hardened, by his ' association with the . Copperheads, that it cannot be
called a heart. [Cheers.] All the oppressed na
tionalities of Europe take this struggle that is now
errevailing here to heart. - There - is -no - opportunity
of huraan life so privileged atethet of casting a vote,
and itis our duty at the ballot-box, to suatain and

woild. The time is coming, and not far Oh when-
this struggle will be ended, and the glorious old
etaneand atripra shall wave'' triumphantly over the
length and hreadth of the land. -
Three"cheers were then given for the sPeaker.
Dr) 0: W. ItlCClibtoek being introduced mid : This
rebellion had its origin in no:grievance whatever on
e the 'PS:it - of the people of the North.' We of the
- North said that labor should , be-respected as mush`
-as ,the man that was possessed of wealth. The
South said no, the Government cannot exist that is
not supported by .men of means. The South had
nothing to complain of, against the North, but they
knew that the institution of slavery was not is the
right.. What is the condition of our country I A

because they would decide by ballot what have

The Copperheads kiss traitors in the dark, and they
come before us, and pretend to be national men.

man who has all along taken care of Pennsylvanka
soldiers, the man who will-be our next Governor

'
Gov. Curtin being introduced, said :
He came tonight to 'express words of confidence
in the result of the election., [Cheers.] He was not
vain enough to claim that the loyalty of the people
was centred upon a candidate. He never witnessed
more zeal, enthusiasm, and' determination than
that which -was seen in Pennsylvania esuid that
zeal was for principle and for truthe U . ..rhas at.. ,

submitted to the people at-the ballot-box. _ elm
aylvania is true, we proclaim to all the world that
- this Government, the best one that was ever Made,
is' to be sustained - bp' power. [Cheers.] He was'
anxious to be elected, because he stood up for the
. right, the truth, andthe country. Let us stand by our
President, let us be faithful to all the covenants and

our Governor and-our Government, right or wrong.

and he would be elected in that way. He said that
he would go with the strong impression that the

him.
Samuel H. Hammond,' Esq., of New York, was'
then introduced, and said.: As Pennsylvania goes in
the next election, so will New York go ; one blast
from 'your bugle-horn is worth a thousand men.
'You cannot be undecided or uninformed about" the
,lesues of this campaign. Let the soldier know that
there are warm hearts at home that sympathize with
him.-: -There're in the free States of this nation but
two parties, and those are to vote. The one is com

The
The great body of the Democracy of this State are
deluded, as were that party in New York last fall.
Governor Seymour was elected under false pretences.
During the_canvass there he spoke in faVor of carry

We also desire peace, everypatelotie men that loves

to get, peace,. and that is to fight for it. [Cheers.]
-The 'rebels will have no peace short of subjection.
We have got- toethrash this rebellion to our own
satisfaction and "not theirs, [Cheers.] We are to
vote this fall, and °Vex man can at least persuade
some one to go to the - polls and vote that would
'otherwise stay at home.'ln the next election we
are to vote either for our country or eget= t it. Don't

Win. IL Dennis, Esq., was then introduced, and
said : There has never been an hour when the Ame
rican, citizen had as much responsibility thrown
upon
_him- as at - the present. This is no time for
party. The question now is life or death, and the
person who is not for the life of American liberty
is for its death. It is self.evidentithat this rebellion
was wholly unprovoked by the Government, for the
remmethat the South has for thirty years been the
pet of the Government. The rebels have pushed
the war with a cruelty that has been unparalleled
in the histiiry of nations. The leaders wilt consent
to no terms of peacejexcept to be placed - in power.
There is but one road'to peace, and that is over the
bloody field. What has been done, - and what is now
doing,_•give double assurance. that the stars and

.Tolin W. Baer, the " Buckeye Blacksmith," was
then intioduied, who said:
There are no political questions agitating the

To The Edilor of The Prees
In the article In your Press Of tmtlay, naming
prominent and lifelong Democrats who are openly
advocating the cause of Curtin and Union, you make
an omission which I hope you will correct when
you again speak of those Due patriotS. I refer to
Gen. William Lilly, who is now stumping Carbon
county for Curtin. This much, I think, is due to the
General, who Is an uncompromising Union man,
and who hasjiad the pluck, in a district so strongly
Danciaratic as ours, to come out openly in opposi
tion to the traitorous teachings of the leaders of the
so.callcd Democracy. Dam, sir, yours,

A :Representative Copperhead,
To (lie Editor of The Preas
Sin : That men are hnown by the company they
keep,. (and by consequence the style of the company
by the men who fiequent them,) smd"that birds of a
feather flock together, are well known and old pro
verbs. Therefore, it cannot be too well or widely
circulated among the voters of Pennsylvania on the
eve. of the impending election, that, the murderer
Quintrell attended in person the Democratic Con
vention held in Illinois within the month previous
to his raid upon Kansas,, and his massacre of the
people of Lawrence. Now, that ConVention repre
eented those who are about to vote for Vallandigham
in Ohio, and Woodward in Pennsylvania ; and there
fore it becomes the duty of the honest man to avoid
that party, as it is impossible for him to say how far
in the course of treason or of villainy it may lead
him. -M. I am, sir, y9urs truly, A VOTER.

M. was listened to with profound attention, and
after the appOintment of numerous vice presidents
and_ secretaries, Mr. F. O. C-ault, the orator of the
evening, proceeded to address the meeting in a.
speech which lasted :.early three hours. Other
speeches were then made, after which the meeting

with deep interest by the people generally, and with

THE AFFIDAVIT. O MB. H-SICTLET
Personally appeared before Alderman Beitier, on
Monday, October Mb, Theophilus Hartley, who, on
being qualified, testified as fellows : - -
I was standing in the 1.117 g store of, Dr. Lindsey, on
Thursday, October Ist, when-I was called out by
William Hutchinson, a police officer of the-Twen
tieth ward, who stated to me there was a house on
Twelfth street, below Jefferson, occupied by a man
tinned Smith. in which ,a number of men had taken
up their abode for the purpose of voting at the
coming election. Feeling it my duty as a good
citizen to investigate the, matter, I therefore -pro
ceeded to the house designated in the capacity of a
"canvasser," accompanied
,by Mr. William Doug ,
lairs. At the summons of the- door.bell a female
came to the door,- who, upon myinquiring, informed
me that'Cliartes H. Smith lived there, and that she
was his wife. I asked Mrs. Smith if there were any
other- male inmates who were voters, to which she
replied, there were - , she men, boarders, three who
were voters, and three who were not voters, they,
being aliens, though she and • her litisband had pr
in.-laded them to get their papers out, Vat they would
not. - I asked her the name other boarders, to which
she replied that she could not. reraember them; but
had a list of the voters in the hoilse, Which sheirn
reedlately brought to me, and - from which I 'Made
the, following transcript: Michael Marin, Patrick
Cannon, Patrick Finnegan, John Gaughan, William
Retricls, and James Holloman. She further.stated
that thklotet.named person had recently come from
North Carolina. .
During the conversation her husband was present,
and assisted in giving the foregoing information.
As Mrs. Smith had exultingly declared them to be
all good. Democratic voters, I led her to infer that
we sympathized with them politically, with a view
thereby to obtain further disclogures. - - I asked her
if she could not take a few more' boarders, but she
"objected at. first, stating -that she had as - many as
Pate could well accommodate. On further persua
sion she partially consented to take one artwo more.
Promising to call again, we left. Not being:satisfied
with what we had accomplished, I in a few minutes
returned alone, and; after a short conversation with
Mrs. Smith, shei fully consented to take one or two
-more when I bade hergooll morning. -In the even
ing ?went, according to "promise, taking with me
Mr. John Eisenhaner, whom I introduced to. Mrs.
Smith es Mr. Laughlin, one of the uoarders she had
consented to -take. She invited u 2 into the house,
and we stepped into the entry. They both urged
the necessity of extreme caution on their pa - Ai - lest
their neighbors suspect the object of their boarders,
and cause them trouble. We accorded with them,
and cautioned them to be particularly careful of
their neighbor, as Illnew him to be a strong Union
man.

Mr. Eisenbauer informed her that he did not wish
to stay tonight, but, perhaps, would take meal
there. Mrs. Smith said some of her boarders old
that to-day. In course of the conversation., I cast .
ally asked who brought her other boarders, and. b

OE lETEREST TO LADIES.—E very one re
gards the Sewing Machine as a blessing to women.
It has been the saving of much toil, misery, and
.probably of life itself. The "Song of the Shirt" is
now obsolete; the more enlivening ballad, "The
Song of the. Sewing Machine," has taken its place.
We had heark through our lady friends, of machines
thavwouleititch, sew, hem, and of one: that could
make a perfect button-hole in a garment. We had
supposed that perfection had almost been reached,
knowing that these instruments performed all the
necessities In sewing.. But it seems they still had
the "accomplimena• to learn: We are led to
make these' remarks : having recently seen some
ladles; cloaks elaborately embroidered with this
Sewing Machine. The work seemed to excel any
thing executed by hand.labor: Beside being more
rapidly and cheaply emcuted, the work has a more
regular and consequently a much more beautiful ap
pearance. ;What is most remarkable about this
novelty in that the machine which executes this
wonderful workmanship is the most perfect in all
other, ropects—the embroidering quality being only
an addition. to its many other abilities of stitching,
hemming, etc. Those of our lady readers who wish
to view the instrument engaged in its charming ac
complishment, can do so by stepping into Messrs.
