The People's Question.
We find in the latest formal declarations
made by the leaders , of the new, Den
cratic party, , a well-studied complaint
against the soldiers of the nation being
allowed to take part in the important elec
tions of the State and country. - thether
the Chicago Convention will dareito place
this upon its .platform 'of opposition is
doubtful, but it is certain that :the dis
franchisement of the soldier is a part
of the acting creed of , the opponents
of the Government. - This has been in
stanced in our election for Governor, but
its manifestation has been frequ'ent in a
hundred other ways. The soldier, whose
patriotism is more deeply concerned in our
great struggle than any other class, has
been denied the natural privilege,of voting
upon questions which • affect hiS own se
curity. The - veteran at our hospitals has
long been the enemy and bugbear of those
who o3ose the war, just as he has been
the resolute foe of the rebellion. The
most representative part of the nation in
time of wale tlaus denied the indispensa,
ble privilege of every freeman, because he
would rather vote in favor of the war, and
against the enemy, than'give one item of
comfort to Mr. JEFFROSON DAVIS. Who
cannot see, lurking behind this antipathy,
to the soldier's vote, the disposition to
take away from him the sword also,?
The question, "Shall the soldiers vote ?"
(once put back by a decishm of Mr. Justice
Woonwenn, ) will shortly Come before the
people. Of its 'issue there cannot be a
doubt. But • the occasion ,\will - prove in
teresting in allowing to all \he real animus
of the parti opposed to th Government.
M o ony other period we mig t have heard
this party welcoming such a vote—but,
could they prove triumphant t -day, the sol
dier would not be allowed the common
right and inalienable prepertY of every
citizen, to have a part in the choice
of a national ruler. The foes of the
Government are consistent •in opposing
everything that can be of real benefit to the
men who are fighting our battles.- They
opposed the enlistment of 'colored troops
to relieve our 'white armies in the field, and
to save our white population from the rigor
of a draft ; and in the same way they show
their terror of the soldier's vote. The pub
lic may reasonably infer that our< soldiers
could not be else than enemies of this degene
rate party. The unanimity which our op
ponents fear must be an encouragement to
all truly patriotic men. Has the defender
of our homes any rights as a citizen?
TB Maryland Constitutional Conven
tion, 'which met in Baltimore on Tuesday ;
did a sensible thing in requesting " the
President of the United States and the
commandants of military departments in
which Maryland is included, as an act of
justice and propriety, to assess upon sym
pathizers with the rebellion resident in this
State the total amount of all losses and
spoliation sustained by loyal citizens of
the United States, resident in this State, by
reason of the recent rebel raid, tecompen
sate loyal sufferers." This is a step in the
right direction. The disloyalists of Mary
land werd, in a great degree, responsible
for the late raid, as they have been for the
previous ones. Confident of their own im
munity from, loss by spoliation, they gave
the rebels every possible
have
to
enter their State. They have furnished the
enemiwith important information, volun
tarily servedliini as spieS and scouts, guided
his ragged ifierauders to thelichest farm
bonses and best filled-barns of their Union
neighbors, and, in many, cases, have en
tered the •rebel service as willing recruits.
Very many people believe that the detach
ment of rebel cavalrymen which did so
much damage along the line of the Phila
delphia and Baltimore Railroad during the
late foray eonsisted 'solely of disaffected
Marylanders. It is only necessary to. con
vince these outlaws, and all who justify
their atrocious conduct, that disloyalty is .a
taxable commodity, to effect a radical
change in their sentiments. As an act of
retributive justice to them, as well as com
pensative justice to the Union citizens they
have helped to - despoil, thik 4 fesolution, it
seems to us, should meet; ii;faireable re
sponse. When Pennsylvania was invaded,
and the farmers of the Cumberland Valley
were plundered,, the treasury 'of the State
was very properly called upon•to reimburse
their losses. With Maryland the case is
different, the rebels being always careful
to deal leniently with their "friends" in
that State. So there would be neither jus,
tice nor common sense in recompensing
the loyal people for their losses; out of a
public treasury- only to be filled by taxa
tion. imposed upon themselies. This Mary
land resolution May •find equal application
in other of the.border States.
A lisnausnono paper informs us that Go
vernor Cuummr, availing himself of the act
of Congress of July 4th, "is now prepared
to appoint agents, to recruit for Pennsyl
vania regiments in revolted States. The
duties of tliese agents will be of the most irsi
portant character,. and hence it is the earnest
desire of his :Excellency to consult the
wishes of the people in the different`districts,
So as to secure the services of competent
and reliable officers, who will faithfully dis
charge the-great work to which they may
be assigned." We have no doubt, with
prompt action and faithful officers, the
effort will be so far successful as practi
cally to relieve our State from a draft, or if
any deficiency should still exist, the offer
of extra bounties may suffice to secure the
requisite number of volunteers. 'Neverthe
less, it would behest for our citizens not to
depend too intle.ii*Pn the Government ap-.
pointees for .the filling of their quota, or
they may dis Cover, when the fifth of Sep
tember arrives, that the necessity of a draft
has not been. obviated. .
TILE country needs rain. The , farmers
throughout 'the State, and further north
and east, are eomplaining of the drought,
the effect of which upon some of the crops
nay prove very serious. The idea prevails
that we shall . have no second growth of
grass worth Mentioning. It is comforting
to know, hoWever, that the hay crop this
season has been enormously large through.
out the country—large; we think, than
has ever been known before. Thus far,
teaven has smiled, upon the land with a
totinteousypervest, and by just so much
are we rieher to phy our debts, abler to

ekeiliOn.
Political Contests Abroad.
The, great battle for Place and Power,
which. lasted in the British Parliament
from the 4th to the 0.111 of this month, has
ended in a small triumph
• in gie House of
Commons for the Palmerston Ministry,
and a small defeat in the House of. Lorde.
,
n the Commons, vote of censure on the
Ministerial war question, moved by Mr.
Dumennr, was negatived by a majority of
',eighteen,
and, in the Lords, a similar mo.
tion,, brought forward by - the Earl of
Malmesbnry, was carried by a majority of
nine. The attendance in the Lords was
very considerable.. Out of the 460 mem
bers of the Upper House, the unusual num
ber of 395 voted on this occasion. Con
sidering that ministers are in a minority in
the Lords, on most political questions, the
• vote of censure has been carried there by a
small number of votes. This may be
partly owing to the fact that the ‘Earl of
Derby, leader of the Opposition party, and
the ablest speaker in the Lords, was una
ble to atteo, from illness. It may be
partly - attributed to the dislike of many
peers to adopt a resolution nominally cen
suring the Ministry, but indirectly con
demning Queen VICTORIA, 'who is gene
rally believed to have induced the Minis
try to , substitute her 'particular policy for
their own.
In the Commons, the Ministry haye ob
tained a triumph which, 'though small, is
greater than was expected by them or for
them. The direct issue, put by Mr. Dm-
RAMS, was that the policy of the British
Government, as regarded the Dano-Ger
manic question,
ought to be condemned by
the House •of Commons as unworthy the
British people. Mr. KINGLAXE'S iitnend
ment endorsed that policy as prudent, ne
cessary, and-honorable. ! • •
In a House of 613 out of the - whole 688
members, Ministers obtained an endorse
ment finm a majority of 18. The votes
Were 313 to 295, and there were also pre ,
sent, but not voting, Mr. DEnrsoN, Speaker
of the House, and two members on each
side, who acted as- "tellers"—that is, as
official recorders of each man's vote; It
may be well to look back and see what the
numbers, inthe House of Commons, -were
on the other great political contests be
tween the Ins and the Outs.
In March, 1832, the, Reform Bill was
passed by a majority of a hundred and six
teen in a House of five hundred and six- I
teen.
In February, 1834, six hundred and
twenty-two members divided on the. ques
tion whether Sir CRAItLES MANNERS SUT
TON should be re-elected Speaker, or Mr.'
JAMES ABERCROMBY chosen to' fill the
chair. ABERCROMBY received 316 and SUT
TON got 306- 7 -, majority ten,.
In April, 1834, the Peel Government was
broken up by a vote on 'the temporalities
of the Irish Church, the majority being
twenty-seven, in a House of 543.
In May, 1841, the Melbourne Ministry
was defeated on the Sugar Duties by a
majority of thirty-siz, and not having re
signed office, a vote of want of confidence
in them was carried by a majority of one,
- in 'a House of 623. In the following Au
gust,. a new Parliament trying the question,
the Melbourne Ministry was broken 'up by
an amendment to the Address on the
Queen's speech being carried by a majori
ty of 'ninety-one, in a House of 629 Mem
' hers.
In February, 1844, there was a majority
of ninety-nine,- in a House of 549 members,
against Lord Joni RUSSELL'S motion for
inquiry into the state of Ireland.
During the Corn Law discussions, in
1846, one debate occupied twelve nights.
The House -,43f Commons was greatly
crowded. On an amendment by Mr. Yrr.ns
577 members voted. The third reading of
the bill was carried by a majority of ninety
eight, in a House'of 556. The bill received
the Royal Assent on June 26, 1846, and'
REEL'S Government resigned office three
days later, having been defeated on the Iriah
question-by a majority of seventy-three, in a
house of 411. •
In February, 1852, the Russell Adminis
tration was shattered - by a majority of nine
votes, in a house of 266, on an amendment
on the Local Militia Bill, moved by Lord
PA - ram - I/nom What is called "The
Derby-Disraeli" Government was then
formed, to be dissolved in the follow
ing December, by a vote against their
Budget, carried by nineteen majority,
out of 591 members. In January, 1855,
/the Aberdeen Ministry resigned, - being,
defeated by. a majority of one hundred
and fifty-seven, in a House of 453, on
Mr. ROEBUCK'S motion for inquiry -into the
state of the war and the condition of the
army in the Crimea. The Palmerston
Cabinet, defeated in February, 1858, by
nineteen votes, out of 449, on the Con
spiracy law (said to have been framed by
desire of NAronnoN 111., after ORSINI'S
attempt to assassinate him), was succeeded
by the Derby-Disraeli second• Administr
ation, which was in turn defeated, and - also
by a majority of nineteen, out of 621 votes,
on DrsnA_Em's Reform Bill. A new Par
liament was assembled, and - the - Ministry
were defeated by a majority of thirteen,
out of 633 votes—the greatest number
ever given in the House of Commons upon'
any question. The result- was the recon
struction of Lord PALMERSTON'S Adridnis
tration.
From these facts and. figures, more easy
to read than to collect, for they are scat- -
tered throughout many volumes, it can. be
judged by what elender majorities succes
sive Administrations in England have been
turned out of or retained in Office. That .
Lord PArastEnsTox, in. a crowded house,
should obtain a majority of eighteen in
favor of his policy, indicates more strength
in the Commons than iras anticipated.
These eighteen votes really represent double
that number of members. The trial of
strength between the Ministry and the Op
position has been fairly made, and the
issue is that Pemannoron . is confirmed in
his position. Had he been defeated, no
doubt,he would immediately have called a
new Parliament. He will - scarcely .do so
now. In his speech ; after the Conference
broke up without haying done anything,
PeiatEnsmoN declared that . if Copenhagen
were bombarded, or the Danish sovereign
made prisoner, England would actively in
terfere, As one or other of these eontin
genaies is not improbable, it may be neces
eiary
,for PALMERSTON to call Parliament
together to legislate on the crisis, and he
could not well do this with a new Parlia
ment. , We doubt whether the General
-Election will take place until after the ses
sion of 1865.
The Atlantic Telegraph.
Among the items of intelligence trought
from England by the last mail-steamer is
one that the Great Eastern had " left Li
verpool for 'London to take hi the Atlantic
cable." This may be so, but it had been
previously,stated that no attempt would be
made to place the sub-Atlantic telegraph
until the summer of 1865. The telegraph
froni Valentia to the Western Continent
may succeed or may fail—our belief and
hopeare that it will succeed :but one thing
connected with it will ever prove an impe
diment to its general utility. Essentially
and practically it is a British institution.
Both termini. will be on British soil, solely
under British control, and accessible to
Americans only by British favor. Mr.
Crams Frami declares that a special, agree
ment will remedy this. He `has not eai&
how. -Sir G. C. Lewis, one of the sound
est statesmen England ever had, emphati
cally declared that War had the effect, for
the time, of nullifying all Treaties. It
would have been fair play to have One ter
minus of the Atlantic telegraph in the
United States. But now, at the mere will,
policy, or caprice of John Bull, we may be
shut out, any day, from the use of that line.
Fortunately, we shall have a pis -alter in the
Russo-Ainerican telegraph now in pro'cess
of ponstruction, which will connect us with
Europe almost as rapidly as the English
line, and more certainly.

LETTBE FROM -"OCCASIONAL."
• „ WssurtebN, July 26, t 864.
With the exception of the Border States
,
- of Virginia, Maryland Kentucky, Missouri,
and Tennessee, no
part of the Union has
buffered - more (of course excluding the re
bel sections) than Pennsylvania. Last year
her citizen soldiery came forth' wider the
call of the Governor, and the expenks,
nearly eight hundred thousand dollars,
were met by a loan, raised on the faith of
the Federal Executive, from the banking
and railroad corporations of the State,
which debt, though earnestly recom
mended to be repaid by the War Depart
ment and by the President, remains a
debt because Congress refused to make
the appropriation. Pennsylvania has
had to bear the burden of at least two inva
sions—that which was repelled in 1862, and
that which was crushed in 1863. In the
latter, beside the enormous expense to
which "I have referred, the people of the
counties along the Maryland line, on .our
western frontier, 'were ,poliated to the ex
tent of millions, and all this, without re
flecting that now, as in 1863, more than. a
hundred thousand•= of our sons are in the
respective columns of the Union army in
Middle Virginia, in' Tennessee, Georgia,
and in Louisiana. 'lf to this count we add
the thousands who sleep in honored graves,
may not Pennsylvania point heir slanderers
in other Statts to her own prouil and peer
less record ? She is the most exposed of
all the free States. Ohio and Indiana are
protected by broad and deep rivers, but the
line that divides us from Virginia, or rather
from the Shenandoah Valley, is either an
imaginary one, or is marked by a river
which is easily fordable in the au
tuinnal .(generally the fighting) sea
son of the year. It does not become
me to take part' in the disagreement be
tween the War Department here and the
Governor of Pennsylvania. Both being
patriotib, and each having a heavy load
of responsibilities to' carry, let us hope
that their differences,may soon be adjusted
in a wise and magnanimous spirit. And it
would be idle 'to deny that what is called
the " apathy " of the people of Pennsylva
nia has been produced by thqir want of
harmony. Yet, notwithstanding this
"apathy," I think the records may be
challenged for proof that Pennsylvania has
sent a larger proportion of men to the field
than any other State in the Union.
New York is the loudest to complain of
and to ridicule Pennsylvania. Could there
be worse taste than this,? Under the evil
counsels of a disloyal and disorganizing
Governor, aided by an equally untrust
worthy Mayor of her great city, both
striving with satanic zeal to embarrass the
Federal - Government, the State has been
filled with treasonable associations, and the
elements of riot prepared for Itnother satur
nalia of fire and of blood. We must not,
indeed, forget that in 1863 New York
offered and sent troops.to the protection Of
the Pennsylvania frontiers, but, while
thanking her for this timely aid, we owe it
also to history to recall the letter of General
McClellan to Governor Curtin, on the 27th
day of September, 1862, for his prompt and
effective 'contribution to the safety of the
Maryland border, and to the success of that
movement by which he turned back the
rebel horde on the field of Antietam. The
following is the letter of Gen. McClellan :
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF TER POTOMAC,
STIARPSBURG, September 27,1882.

first moment of leisure I haveAad`slnce the recent

AND FOR MYSELF, I AGAIN TENDER TO YOU OUR

Now, had General McClellan failed in.
1862, or had General Meade failed in 1863,
not only would Pennsylvania - have - been
devastated to the Delaware, but the tide of
war would have overflowed into New Jersey
and New York—so that the assistance of the
litter was not so unselfish after all, nor the
prompt energy of Governor Curtin so selfish
as it has been charged. Has any such tri
bute as that paid by. General McClellan to
Governor Curtin ever been paid to Horatio
Seymour f Where, in the last invasion, that
which threatened Baltimore and invaded
Washington—where,. then, were the sons
,of Pennsylvania ? Not only were they to
be found in the immortal 6th Corps which ,
in the very nick of time, came to save the
Federal Capital, but at least two of their
new regiments were in the front, and ren
dered effective and enthusiastic service. It
is one of the most debasing signs of the
times, when a State _which has sent nearly
two hundred regiments to the field, which
has contributed millions to the Sanitivry
and Christian Commissions, and which as
been constantly called upon to protect anal
most constantly threatened line of counties
from invasion and raids, is made the subject
of sneer and falsehood and insolent compari
son. Is it any wonder that a people thus
burdened and oppressed should beelme dis
heartened ? There.is another view of this
question For three years, namely, when..
Lee advanced in '62 and when again he
advanced in '63, and when latterly he ad
vanced in '64, it was the New York press
thanled the cry and attempted to show that
each of these adlances amounted to no
thing—were, in fact, mere feints or raids,
easily repelled by the militia. It is to the
impression thus excited that • any failure to
raise troops in Pennsylvania or elsewhere,
or any complete success in hurrying for
wird the old levies, may be justly attribu
ted. It is scarcely doubted now, that but
for• the opportune arrival of the veterans in
Washington on Monday and Tuesday of
last week, the Federal Capital might have
been captured. As if to show the treasona
ble spirit of those who .ridiculed and de
predated the last rebel movement, the Na
tional Intelligenoor, of this city, still persists
in asserting that the columns under Early
and Breckinridge amountedto only a few
hundred, when the information of the War
Department,. and the testimony of unpreju
diced witnesses, „including the correspon:
dents of such Opposition papers as the New
York World, clearly prove that these forces
amounted to at least 40,000 veterani,ln
chiding a large body of trained cavalry.
But it is not - for us of Pennsylvania Co allow
the taunts of others to dissuade us from our
duty. We have done nothing about Which
we need be ashamed; nothing to hold us
back from doing still more for our country;
nothing to make us even more eager to
show that we are at least the equal of the
people of other sections. President Lin
coln has made another call for 500,000 men.
Rely upon it, this call will be responded to,
and that Pennsylvania will do her full
share. When the traitors who have , de
' pended upon what is called the '. apathy"
of our Northern people, and who have
hailed with malignant joy the efforts of the
sympathizers with Secession to sow dis
cord through the land`— when these
traitors read this call, and note how
it is welcomed, and how it is being
responded to, they will exclaim, in the bit
terness of despair, Who can cope-with a
race which has so sternly and solemnly re
solved to maintain , its own go'vernment, at
whatever cost and at whatever hazard
Truly is the hour of rebel doom at last ap
proaching. Foreign nations formally an
nounce that• they cannot, and dare not, in
terfere. The robber 'corsair, after ravaging
the seas and plundering unarmed mei.=
chantmen, is sunk by an American steamer
in sight of the coast. Of France, and in the
presence of the yacht of a British aristocrat.
The great entrap/it at Atlanta, Ga., where
have been stored foreign arms of the rebels
and
,their material for fhe manufacture of
ammunition, has by this time trembled to
its fall. Maryland and Pennsylvania are
once more saved from attack, and will
hereafter be in a better condition of defence
than ever. The army of Early and Breck

The Accident at the Blo?kley Almshouse.
Every now and then the public is'startled
by some' terrible accident, apparently the
result of impargnable carelessness. or stu
pidity. We are not willing, in advance of
the verdict of the coroner's jury, to deny
or affirm the responsibility of any persons
for the accident at the Almshouse yester
day, yet we cannot forbear to insist upon
the closest examination of the facts, and I/
verdict that shall satisfy the public. Coro
ners' juries too frequently declare "nobody
to blame" when it is apparent to all that
somebody is much to blame. It is this easy
melhod of investigation that encourages
recklessness, and realizes the old personifi
cation of a blindfolded Justice, holding in
her hand the false scales of a tradesman.
It may be, however,, that this was one of
those accidents impossible. to have been
foreseen. Yet, from the report of the 336aW..
af Guardians of the Poor, we doubt
proper precautions were taken lathe altsra,=
tion of the building. For thirteen ypars, it:
is admitted, the chimney stack which fell
and killed fifteen persons had been in in
unsafe condition. Were the authorities of
the Almshouse ignorant of this fact,?
Should it have been unknown to the Wild
er ? These are questions which the jury
must have well answered. That the fall"
was not expected is a matter of course ; no
man, knowing of the danger of, such an
accident, would neglect the proper
means of preventing it. The ques
tion is, whether the building was ex
amined with sufficient .cate, before the
workmen were allowed to make tlie
changes. It is stated in the report orthe
Board that yesterday afternoon the work
men were building a foundation for a pier
to suppyrt the stack that fell. This cer- ,
tainly looks like care, .yet it must be re
membered that while the Almshouse autho- -
rities might have shown a tardy caution in
directing the pier to be built, there might,
have been great carelessness in the building
of it. The movements of men, the bringing•
into the cellars of heavy material, the jar
of unloading it, must have shaken the frail
supports of the chimney-stack, for it is not
reasonable to suppose that it fell by the
decay of the wall, at the very moment
when it was about to be well sustained;
This would be too strange a coincidence.
An origivil carelessness thirteen years.ago
was madoubtedly the primary cause of the
accident ; it remains to be seen whether the
secondary cause was the carelessness of the
present authorities, the builder, or the
workmen.
The horror of the calamity is increased
by the helplessness of its victims. The
condition of the insane is in itself so sad,
that when these unfortunates suffer from
the sudden ansl tiger-leap death, in some
tragical form of agony, it seems more piti
ful than the simtlar misfortunes of ordinary
human beings. Something of the same,
horror is felt when a fire or a panic in a
&eat -public school causes the death of
children. It is terrible enough when
strong men are killed by boiler explosions
or fires at sea, but no catastrophies - are 'so
frightful as those which kill and mairn:the
- little children, or the wretched person:
who-hare lost their reason, and to ivhotn,
in taking fronr them their liberty, society
guarantees its protection.
THE election to take place. in. PennSyl

one of vast importance to the Stale, the

enable a citizen to vote. Those whose

attend to the matter immediately. The

TIM Constitutional Convention of Louisi

to the people on the first Monday in Sep

not admit of a doubt. The people of Lou

past three years, nor fail to, give ear to, the
voice of the civilized world, which has
spoken for "freedoin and against human
slavery. It was a happy thought to couple
with the abolition- of slavery the' stablish

emancipation must be incomplete and
fruitless until the blessings - of education
have been dispensed among the. freed.

pursuing the rebels who recently ravaged the
eastern portion of Maryland, and that the pursuing
party is wresting large amounts of plunder from
the rebels.
. General Orook, While in the pursuit on Monday
last, overtook the enemy at Snicker's Gap, *a.,
where a sharp and for a time terrific encounter took
place. The rebels fought like devils, anxious to
save the grain and cattle they hid succeeded in
carrying that far from Maryland. General ()rook,
•however, was as determined that they should not
escape, and whipped thein thoroughly, capturing
over 300 wagons, heavily laden with grain, and took
many prisoners.
As usual, the enemy left his dead and wounded
on the field to be buried and cared for by our troops.

mand of the Department of west Virginia, in OOn

dered to report to major General Wright, who is in
charge of the column that iS to pursue the rebel
forges under General Early, recently.engaged in
the invasion of Maryland. This "pursuit" General
Hunter's friends regard. either as a farce or a dis
aster : a farce, if General Early chooses with his
superior force to retreat toward Richmond; a dis
aster, in case General Early, having sent his trains
three-days march ahead of him, should see fit to
turn, and whip or gobble up some part of the "pur
suing forces." General Hunter is understood' to
baye urged that tie should have been given his own
forces, with which to again push down the Shenan

him to Columbus, Miss., if he did not overtake him
this side. - A despatch from Gen. Smith to General
Washburn°, received to-day, says,:
"We have met Lee, Forrest, and . Walker, at
Tapelo, and whipped them badly on three different
days. Our loss is small compared with that of the
rebels. I bring back everything in good order and
nothing was 105 t.,,
A scout, since arrived at La Grange, reports the
enemy's loss 2,500, and their defeat was overwhelm
ing. It is also stated that the rebel Gen. Faulkner
and Gen. Forrest were wounded. General Forrest
was wounded In the foot, and his horse equipments
captured.
From other sources I learn that Smith met For
rest, near Pontotoc, on Wednesday, tke 13th, and
fought him on that day, and also on Thursday and
Friday, driving him below Tupelo, whipping him
badly in five different battles. Our loss is said to be

WIBFIiziOTON, July 20.—The latest official infor
mation. from General Sherman is that his army
crossed the Obattahoochie at several different
places north of the raUroad bridge. The movement
was accomplished with such celerity as te take the
enemy by surprise, and therefore the resistance
to his advance was feeble on the part of the rebel
cavalry.
Our, cavalry was at once sent to operate on the
railroad east of Decatur, one of the, objects being to
cut off the communication between Atlanta and
Anktista, thus preventing the removal of stores to
the latter plate, and Johnston from being rein
forced. Our main army was within ten or twelve

Sin: In the large towns in the interior Of the . State
the attention of the people is drawn away from the
Importance of , allowing the soldier to vote by the
general rage for moneymaking and speculation.
But the enemies of the measure are vigotpusly and
secretly working among the rural population. They
are determined, both4sy fraud and corruption, to
defeat it if they. can. A poor laboring man from
the country told me this morning that the Copper
heads tried to pursuade him to vote against the
amendments, so as to prevent the negro soklier from
getting a vote, which lie most certainty ,.if they,
were adopted. He replied by saying that a negro,
fighting for his country was bettor than 'a disloyal,
cowardly politician, who staid at home .and ea lea.
vored to dest.tOy the contidenee of the people in the

walls into thirteen separate huildings, each about
forty-five feet square, and it was in one of these that
the misfortune occurred. The upper portion of the
building is supported by three arches, which ran
through the cellar the entire length of the building,
from east to west. Toward the western part_the
.upper portion of thccentre arch, for a distance of
about one hundred and twenty-five feet, had been
broken into about thirteen years ago, for the par
nose of introducing steam•boiler pipes. In tha first,
second, and third stories there are but two arches,
,and consequently the centre pier, from which the
two arches sprung, rested upon what had formerly
been the keystone of the centre arch in the cellar.
'Yids having, as before stated, been removed, the
floors along the buildings above the arch that had
been removed are sank some inches. The floors of
the building in which the aecidentoccurnd were not
sunk lower than the Others, and no notice has ever
been taken of it.
For some days past workmen have been engaged
putting up a warm-air furnace for heating the de
partment, under the broken archway, and their
working may have hastened the terrible ,c4anti..
ty. The Bret floor was occupied by the ept-
Teptic insane, the second by the ordinary insane,
and the third by the sick. Thebuildin . gthroughout,
including joists and every kind of wood-work, was
constructed in the most substantial manner. The
misfortune is that the broken archway should ha'ive
been allowed to remain so long without support. It'
seems that at some time, probablyyears ago',ltnacal;.
dent ofthie kind was feared, and, to preirent it an iron
girder was run across the broken arch and enprooii;
ed at each of its ends by the substantial and tin
touched arches. This may have probably prevented
a more dreadful calamity. The building is to be'
thoroughly supported either by a reconstruction of
the ruined arch, or in some other substantial man
ner. The strength of the building may be imagined
when it is known that after the falling through .or.
the entire Inside, including the roof, not a stone or
window was misplaced - , and it would have been im
possible to find the situation of the calamitywithout
the assistance of a guide.
TEE CALAMITY._
The inmates in this part of the institution usually
rise about five o'clock, and breakfast at six. If the
misfortune had been delayed a few minutes, there
would have been fewer casualties, as many of these
unfortunate ones would have been at breakfast:ln
another part of the building.
The breakfast bell was just about being.rung when
the disaster occurred. Three loud crashes "-were
were
heard, following each other at intervals. These
three crashes were caused by the falling of the three
floors. The floors gavel way above the centre pier,
and fell in from each side,_ forming two aides
of a triangle. A number of the inmates. es
caved unhurt by being at the time of the accident
near one of the outside walls. Those in the upper
stories were swept along with the contents of the
rooms and the rubbish into,the cellar and — buried
alive in the ruins. The shrieks of the insane Were:
.apPalling, and the utmost Confusion and disorar
prevailed for some' tithe. :Some of the number
managed to work their way out.- They were taken
charge of, and hurried to places of security. The
attention of the various ,officials was soon called to
the spot. They immediately set to work getting out
the wounded, and removing the ruing.
For some time after .the fall of the floors, pieces
of rafters, large piedes of stone, and other things,
continued to fall; the roof, joists, and all other loose
pieces were soon removed. The walls of the build
ing alone remain the entire structure from cellar
to roof being com pletely gutted. The injured were
removed to the surgical ward; and a truly melancholy
sight was heret.prcsented. Thoseof the injured who
were able to sit up in their beds or talk did not seem
to understandAst they were Injured, or what had
been going on. And many of them seemed perfectly
unconscious that anything unusual had happened.
The most perfect order was soon reritored and kept
throughout the Institution. •Dr. DicOoy, Dr. Buileri_
the steward, add rdr. llenszey, were unremitting;A
their labors, and accomplished much in br
back the usual routine and order In this abadsi.ibir
wrecked and ruined minds. •
RHIFICT 'UPON THE turrrn.OF THE PATIENTS.
As soon as it was possible, the managers of the
Institution prepared other rooms perfectly secure,
for the accommodation of the patients, bat lyi-vras
impoisthie to induce them to enter. Some wait
sullen, others were full of merriment, others sigo4
appeared melancholy, while most of them would
shudder upon reeking at the braiding. One Would
take a sort of aide glance, and suddenly turn her
head away, and hide her faoe in her handle TiOngh
• hone of them seemed to •appreolate--the appalling.
calamity, yet they had a sort of instinctive dread
that something had happened,• that made them
turn in horror or disgust from the building. Up
to a late hour, the pap': creatures or moist of
them were in the court-yard enjoying ihemseives
as though they were on a pio.nic excursion. The
officers were very kind in their remarks to them.
Some replied quite rationally at times, bat when
ever an invitation was extended to them to enter
the building they turned away and exhibited the
most decided demonstrations to resistiSupper time
Smelly approached, and the party, excepting about
twenty-flue, entered the room and partook of their
evening repast as though nothing had happened.
The others remained in the yard, because they "did
nqt feel hungry." It NOMA° seen by the above inci
dents that disordered mental faCultiesmay be 8116-
cessrally appealed to through the medium of the
stomach, the same as in -certain cases whore more
fortunate fellow-b&gs are - fully endowed with
reason.
VAGITSTitOREI.
Though the accident happened at an earlyhour in
the morning, yet the public were not advised ,of it
until near noon, and being unable to obtain the inte
resting though sad and melancholy particulars of
the great calamity, the wildest sort of rumors pre
vailed that gathered largely as they oirculated:
_From the caving in of thefloor and the berrying of
half a dozen workmen, the stories increased : until it
reached the dignity of a report that the railroad
tunnel had caved in and swallowed half the Alms
house with hundreds of the inmates. The fact
is, the tunnelling for the railway trackis not within'
half a mile,of the building. So great is the anxiety
to obtain news, in these days of telegfaphic commu
nication, that people are overanxious, and, like
jealousy, they make the ideal meat they feed upon.
There was more =OlOll'BlM in the city east of the
Schuylkill than - thew was within half a mile of the
Almshouse; even up to four o'clock yesterday af
ternoon, severiV residents within a shortkdistance of
the Almshouse grounds had not yet heard of the sad
occurrence.
LIST OP MILLED
The most able of the paupers at the place and a
number of outside workmen wore soon set - to work
removing the ruins and carrying away the dead and
wounded.
The following is the list of killed :
Margaret Drenin, • Ann Reynolds

TEM INVIIRED.
There were nineteen of the insane, one of the
nurses, and one of the inmates wounded. Some of
them are so severely injured that their recovery is
doubtful.
