A Frank. Confession,
Mr. Henry W. Dittman, a worthy and
well-ineaniug man, who represents'th.e De
mocratic party of this city, has signed his
name to an address which purports to he
an appeal to the citizens of Philadelphia..
There is nothing remarkable in this com
position hut its ■ length, which indicates a
degree of industry and fluency on the part
of r'MivDiTTjiAN that we trust to ' see re-'
warded./ One point, however, deserves a
special allusion. We quote from the ad
dress:
Look at the effect of this war, and consequent tax
ation in regard to the cost of living. Mark the
contrast with the prices we paid under Democratic
IUle: ;

of which, the poor man’s fire consumes as much as
that which, biases in the rich man’s parlor* in former
days could be tart tax four or Jive dollars it now
. eosts/ovrleen and fifteen, dollars a ton.
As'this is a fair specimen of “Demo
cratic truth,” we do not care to verify the
figures of Mr. Dittman’s' table, and some
of them need verification, nor to assign
any natural or local reasons for this in
crease in the price of certain commodities.
For the sake of our argument, -Mr. Ditt-
Siak’s facts will do as well as any corrected
version of our own. .. .
The war has raised prices. But this is
far from saying that the legislation of the
Republican party or the deeds of Mr. Lin
coln’s Administration have been the causes
of that advance. In the first place, Mr.
Lincoln’s Administration did not make
the war. ‘ In the second, place, Mr. Lin
coln's Administration, without dishonor
ing; the country, could not end'the war.
v Can Mr. Dittman controvert these facts ?
If we remember the record of that gentle
man rightly, he was among those who pro
fessed to have an admiration for the late
Stephen A. Douglas* When the war
began he was anxious to have it known
that lie' belfeved, with Mr. Douglas, in
--.the necessity for its vigorous prosecution.
He was an earnest War Democrat. When
the flag of his county was insulted, we
•will do him the justice to suppose that his
cheek tingled with as deep a shame as the
cheek of any other American., Mr. Lin
coln did not insult our flag. No servant
of Mn Lincoln directed the guns that
drove Xkdebson out of Fort Sumpter;
and if he had given way to the demands of
the men who opened Pandora’s box that
April morning in Charleston Bay, we have
no doubt that Mr. Dittmapt would have
‘been clamorous in denouncing the man
who had disgraced his country by yielding
to traitors. The war was forced upon the
Administration. At no time has it been in
the power of the Government to honorably
terminate the war. - '
The D emocratic party having aided in
the opening of the war, and having at times
claimed it as a high honor that there were
more Democrats than Republicans in the
ranks of the army, it cannot release itself
from any of the unavoidable results of war..
'lt has been in America, as in every other
country where it became necessary to re
_ sort to arms. The currency has become
unsettled, the blockade has interrupted the
supplies that formerly went from; America
to enrich the world, and bring back to us
the riches of the world. We have been
compelled to mcrease oiir debt and impose
taxes. Labor has become scarce and high
on account of the army demand, and until
the war ends these causes will produce the
effects that seem to give so much grief .to
Mr. .Dittman. When peace is declared we
'Shall have the same condition of affairs.
Mr. Dittman tells his friends that with the
. election of General McClellan things will'
be as they have ’been; There will be no
more high prices.; Sugar will 'again be
bought for nine bents a pound, and the
poor' man may purchase coal for five dol
lars a ton. How is this to be done ?
Now, we desire to be frank with. Mr.
Dittman. If bis party are to accomplish
these desirable results, how are they to do
it ? The debt must be paid. Debt re
quires taxation, and taxation advances the
prices of articles of consumption. :Do'es
Mr. Dittman desire to repudiate The debt f
Again, we must have waT. jEFyisnsoN
Davis says, “ a union with hyenas rather
than.-with: the North.” Den. McClellan
says, “ a Union at all hazards.” Therefore
we must have war, or submission to the
South. Does Mr. Dittman desire us to hare
a peace that will make us the vassals of the
Southern- slave-masters? What does he
mean ? Either his whole argument is
a fraud and a swindle, or he proposes
to say that; if. wo give, him-and his
friends power ' they will end the war,
proclaim a dishonorable peace, and repu
diate the debt. Now, we do not think that
Ke means’ to deceive us, and we accept the
legitimate conclusion of his argument.
.We'close the issue with him, and ask our
friends to .give. it careful attention. Letr
Every bondholder-—every poor man who
possesses an interest-hearing. treasury note
--every widow and orphan whose little
remnant of-fortune is represented in the
jiveitwenty loan—remember that tins De
inoeratic party^through its chairman, pub
licly declares that, in the event of power :
it will dishonor and repudiate the credit of
the Government.
s . It is well that Mr. Dittman has been so
frank with us, but' we beg’bur. friends'to
have no alarm . The nation will not place
itß honor and credit in .the hands of men
who thus announce their intention to de
grade and destroy it.
" There Is a difficulty about the McClellan flag
in Bangor. They cannot find two Copperheads
living opposite each other, and hence oan’t get a
permit to run their rebel flag up.”
That . should make little difference, as
they have already found a line long enough
to reach from • Richmond to New York.
The rebels have tied their end tightly, and
will never let the McClellan flag drop
while they have any hope of their inde
pendence.
Five gentlemen of this city— 11 J. Ran
dall, James Campbell, C. Ingebsoll, J.
C. Van Dyke, and fi. Gt. Evans”—have
written a letter to the Democratic journals
of Pennsylvania in the interest of peace.
A copy of this letter has come into our pos
session, and although it possesses hardly
enough interest to justify an entire repub
lication, there are certain suggestions that
the reader may be glad to hear.” We un
derstond that this letter was produced at a
meeting of certain political friends “in
formally?’ heklon July-28d, and that it was
, t 0 uommumcated to every Democratic
editor in the State, to urge upon him “ the
importance, of exposing, in the strongest
light to the people of Pennsylvania, the
disgraceful attitude of the Republican party
and their scandalous and ruinous policy,
now, by this act of the -President, more
openly than ever avowed, of preference of
-negro emancipation and eternal war.to the
restoration of the country to peace on the
basis of the Constitution.” The letter whs.
not intended for publication ; it was a con
fidential revelation of a plot to deceive the
people, which is not creditable to the
candor of its authors. The partisan, press
is urged to give /uncommon emphasis to
the fact that the president, having received
offers for peace and” the restoration of the
Union “ from the South,” rejected them
in disdain. It is urged to / make / this
the subject “of not one, two, or
three, hut constant paragraphs, ’ ’ and
an example for imitation is thus furmshed
in the letter itself: “If Mr. Lincoln’s
will is to prevail, we have announced to us,
as the Republican programme,-perpetual
war among the white faces of the" country
until the miserable negro shall be made our
equal in rights, and citizenship, to sit at
our board, .to. marry our • daugliters,
to. vote with us, to rule over us.
These are the terms on which Peace
and. Union can he; restored under a Re-
publican Administration.’ ’ This charming
specimen of vulgarity has already been
adopted as a model by papers which so
greatly venerate the truth : that they wilU
not make it too common by publishing it;
The letter abounds in similar expressions—
it was sub tom, we know—but we will sum
up its whole argument, in a few words.
Randall and Mrs. Nickleby Ingee
s°li. declare that Holcombe and Clay,
confidentially employed by the rebel Go
vernment, offered to make peace on the
basis of the Union; that Mr. Lincoln
laughed at their offer, and informed them
that he would make perpetual wax till
miserable negroes were made the hileTS N of
the whites; that lie is, therefore, a Dis
unionist,' and has committed“ the most
vile, most injurious, most absurd of the long
catalogue of sins against the country,
which the past three years have witnessed,
however - prominent and glaring.” The
object of the letter is to secure the instant
publication of this falsehood during the
campaign. ,

A swindle more gross' and daring was
'.never' attempted, Olay and Holcombe
never brought any proposals of peace" from
the rebel leaders; more .than' tins, they
carefully excluded from their own pro
posals everything from which a desire for
the preservation of the Union could be'in
ferred. They spoke of the United/States
and the Confederate States as distinct na
tions, and desired that “ representatives of
the two Governments” should meet—not
to reconstruct the Union, blit simply to
make peace. This the v writers of the letter
knew when they wrote it, and the trick by
which they tried to make it appear that:
“ the South proposed terms for reconstruc
tion and reunion’ ’ reveals a want of poli
tical’ ingenuity which would be discredit
able to an African diplomatist, r They ac
tually seem to consider Mr. Williaw O.
Jewett and the South as identical, for it
is from one of his letters, we believe, that
the following terms of peace are quoted.
But whether from him or another, it is
certain that these terms were never men
tioned by Olay, Holcombe, or any other
pretended rebel envoy :
“First. All negroes which have bean actually
freed by the war,-to be secured in such freedom.
“ Second. All negroes at present held as slaves to
remain sc. 'y '•‘>-
“ Third, The war debt of both be paid
by the United States.
“Fourth. The old doctrine of State rights to be
recognized In reconstructing the Union.” •
“ Whatever may be thought of the pro
posal to place the Confederate debt oh our
treasury books, here was a tender of nego
tiation which any man who loves his coun
try ought to enter upon with a heart full
of thankfulness to God, but which is scorn
fully mid rudely rejected by the President,
as if it was an offence to his own dignity
and an injury to us all,” Thus say . Mr.
Randall and, Mrs. Miekleby Inoeksoll,
and we are surprised that even an old lady
should be so absurd as to think that Mr.
Jewett’s imaginary basis of peace’. and
Union could be forced on a- newspaper
rending people as the real proposals of the
rebel leaders. Mrs. 'Hieklehy must now
admit that she deliberately requested the
Democratic editors;throughout Pennsylva
nia to-circulate a statement, that history
disarms and disproves, and that the: Presi
dent never refused “an offer from the
South to make peace and restore. the
Union,” because no such offer was ever-made.
Thus it is that the old lady would
electioneer under the rose, and secretly in
struct her grandchildren to write foolish,
wicked paragraphs about the match-making
plans of the Administration for marriages
between “ miserable negroes ” and white
women. Unfortunately for her, tfce rose,
though a cabbage rose, was not large
enough to hide the secret. -Her terrible
plot is exposed. The mask is torn from
her face, and the familiar mob-cap and
green-glass spectacles are revealed. Per
haps she may hot thank us • for publishing
extracts from her private 1 correspondence,
but then, do we not circulate her plan ?
We give all publicity to the false statement
of her letter, and beg the editors who are
tied to her apron-strings to make the most
of it while they can. '
It is hard to believe that Millard Fill
more was once the President of the United
States. In a recent letter, he says, ‘ Every
thing seems to have been done to unite and
exasperate the South ;” and goes on to
blame the Administration and the North
as the obstacles to peace. He never refers
to what the South has done to exasperate
the North; never alludes to the wicked
ness of the rebellion; to Jeee Davis’ de
claration that ”he would as willingly live
in a Union with savages as with Yankees.”
He holds the Government responsible for
all the troubles of the country. Decatur
strained a moral principle when he ex
claimed, ‘‘ Our country ! right or wrong!”
but the politicians of Mr. Fillmore’s
school are not for tlieii country, even
when it is wholly right.
When Goveknoh Seymour had finished
his speech last night, we asked one of his
audience to state the point of his argument.
We were told that he affirmed that the Ad
ministration had ruined the country, and
■was ruining it more and 'more every day ;
that it was already irretrievably ruined,'
and that only the Democrats could restore
it from ruin. If Gov. Seymour did not
say this, he said something so much like
it, that’our informant may be pardoned for
his error. The Chicago Convention grave
ly declared that the only way to; save the
Union is to make immediate peace with
its enemies, and, as' if ambitious to excel
even this absurdity, pronounced the war to
be a disastrous failure, and then nominated
the very man responsible for our worst de
feats.-.. . ' V -
The Richmond correspondent of the
London Times admits that one hundred
and fifty Union soldiers; die, every day in
the~ rebel - Prisons. Evidence multiplies of
the inhumanity of their captors, while we
know: that .the rebel prisoners aie well fed
well clothed, and well sheltered by the
Government. ■ -
ALi'HONSE KAim, the: malicious French
man, says, “the friendship of two womem
is always' a plot against a third.’’. The
friendship of the Copperheads and rebels,
is nothing- but a plot ’ against >the Go.
vemment.

We. do not know, but think it likely
enough. Certainly Mr. Lincoln’s portrait
could not be exhibited in a loyal city with

PRESENTATION OP CAPTURED battle-flags
TO THE WAR DEPARTMENT.
Private George G. Moore, Company D, West
Virginia Volunteers, and John Ckebd, Company
D, 23d Illinois Veteran Volunteers, were yesterday
introduced to the Secretary of War by General - J.
H. Willson, and presented to him two battle-flags
captured by them at -Fishei’s Hill, Virginia, Sep
tember 22. Their gallantry was duly acknowledged
by the Secretary, and the fortunate privates were
conducted to the office of General Townsend, where
the flags were deposited, and memoranda taken for
the preparation of medals to be given them.
Creed’s capture of tko flag he presented was ac
complished, in the absence of ammunition, by knock
ing the rebel flag-bearer down with a stone. “ ‘
INTERESTING TAX DECISION.
In a recent sale in New York, through a broker
of merchandise", amounting to $20,000-for gold, it
-was claimed that the tax of per centum, ors2s,
could bo paid In legal tender treasury notes. The
collector insisted on the payment of gold T>r its
equivalent. The decision of , the Commissioner.of
Internal Revenue having been requested, he replied
that the question to be determined was not in what
medium the tax shall be paid, but on what basis it
shall be computed, adding: “II you have sold
goods for $20,009, payable in currency coin,
then this s tuni is the measure - ' of the value of the:
goods sold ; hut If you .sold the merchandise,
stipulating to receive $20,000 in gold,; which
is' in itself an article of purchase and sale;,
and the sales thereof being taxable, the valu e of the
gold roust first be ascertained. If s2ojooo in gold
happens to be worth $40,000 in the legal tender cur
rency, the latter sum expresses the amount of goods
sold. The tax of $5O, being thus ascertained, is
payable in legal tender notes.”

purpose the of the election officers

by the latter immediately.
In order to obtain these results the Associated .’

CAKIC-ATCEES,
The day of political pamphlets, while not as yet
declining, pales before this early -morning of po
litical caricatures. Every print-window now ap.
pears stocked with lithographs of a character not
Hogarthlan, nor GUlrayian, yet reputable so far as
the drawing is concerned. J Our modern. Grub-street
writers are not doing much, but the artists have
labor la plenty. Radicalism, Republicanism, De
mocracy, Copperheadlsm—lndeed, all shades of po
litical opinion—-may be suited from this daily In
creasing stock. The general character of the prints
is far from scurrilous, yet now and then descending
to the foulest, the most obnoxious. A genuinely
clever artist might now With ease found a repu
tation for political caricature. As yet, we have no
representative man, Beliew is sharp in his best
moods, but otherwise valetudinarian.
A MAMMOTH RAC*
upon the Hudson river, by the steamers plying
thereon, has been proposed by Captain Andorson, of
the Mary Powell, and' 'seconded by some of the
newspapers. The Captain suggests a sweepstakes
of from $l,OOO to $5,000 per boat, the race to be
made without passengers. His idea is to settle,
once and for all, the much-debated question of su
premacy upon the river. As each owner claims this
for his own vessel, the arrangement will probably
bo made. The boats are the Daniel Drew, Mary
Powell, C. Ylbbard, T. Oolyer, and Armenia. The
Powell seemß to be the more general favorite, and:
It is confidently believed that in the event of a race
she will prove victorious.
A MYSTERIOUS MURDER,
in Brooklyn, has set rumor and suppositional work.
A package containing a human trunk, carefully
wrapped In rubber cloths, has been found floating
in the river. The possibility that it is the remains
of a “ subject,” dissected by the knife of the anato
mist, is precluded by the presence of clothing. A
5 oußg man, well dressed, and hence the inference of
respectable connections, seems to have been the vic
tim of a terrible crime. No clue to the mystery has
yet appeared. -

Bet the hero of Now Orleans, who is now en
camped In the field with his brave army, sharing
the hardships of the campaign, and who declines to
. occupy a house for his headquarters, preferring that
it should be used for a hospital for the wounded,
receive due credit for having marehed'with and
directed his army in the grand advance upon Rich
mond.
Early on the morning of the 29th ult. a line-of
battle was iormed within the breastworks at Deep
Bottom by the 3d division of the 18th Corps (co
lored), under Brig, Gen. Payne., Skirmishers were
thrown out, who movea cheerfully, on the enemy’s
pickets, and drove them for nearly a mile at a
double quick. The rebel troops soon faced about,
- many of them without firing a gun, and retreated
to their breaf tworks. The line of battle now moved
out near the Grove House in handsome style. The
skirmishers, quickened by the success which at
tended their movement, impetuously; dashtd after
the rebels, and, before they were aware of it, were
inside of the enemy’s line. A little falling hack and
a brief cessation of firing gave Gen. Payne a fine
opportunity to see what was necessary.
This gallant band of skirmishers was composed of
the 4th (Maryland) U. S. 0. T-, the Gth (Pennsyl
vania) U. S. C. T,, and Capt. ’Wrenman’s (colored)
company of division sharpshooters. These troops
suffered severely, as they were exposed to the raking
fire of the rebels behind their breastworks.
The place of assault having now been decided
. upon, the assaulting column, consisting of the sth,.
50tb, and 88th U.S. C. T., under Acting Brig. Gen.
A. G. Draper, were formed in double column, at
half distance. These regiments comprise the 2d
Brigade of the 8d Division. The 22d Unitcd’States
Colored Troops, of the Ist ‘Brigade, was de
ployed as skirmishers here, covering the ground
to a considerable distance to the left of that which
the assaulting column was to pass over. The'lst
'and 37th U. S. Colored Troops, under command of
Colonel Holman, commander of the Ist Brigade of
the 2d Division, and those of the 4th and 6th that
survived the first attack, formed a second line, which
was plainly seen by the enemy 'from one of their
lookouts, hear the New Market Haights, and en
abled him to mass his troops at the point of as
sault. -The lines were formed under a galling fire
of artillery, which the troops endured without flinch.
Ing. When all was ready they moved on rapidly,
encountering two lines of abattis, which caused
some little delay; during which many were killed.
Tho obstructions being removed,'the trtops were
soon inside of the enemy’s breastworks. The enemy
was then driven beyond Chapin’s Bluff, without
any difficulty, over a distance of six miles. -- /
The 4th United States Colored Troops went Into
the fight wlth"3os''men fend* bfougfiY out 105. The
Gth lost about as heavily. The division lost over
twelve hundred men. Among the killed aro Captain
Yannays, acting adjutant general on General Dun
can’s staff J'Captaln GV W. Sheldon, Captain O. Y.
Yorhn, Lieutenant L. Landon, and others whose
names I will forward. ;v. • '
The 3d (colored) Division, 10th Corps, commanded
by Brigadier General Win. liirnev, deserves a full
measure of praise for its bearing and gallantry in
this grand demonstration against'the rebel capital.
This division formed on the left of the 18th Corps,
as reserves, on the morning.of tho 29th ult. It then
marched along the New Market road. to a point
where the Mill road crosses it, where It was formed
into a lino of battle on the left of the 2d (Poster’s
Division, Here it was ordered to Charge tho rebel
works, and advanced in good stylo,- The 9thXT. S.
C. T. went in first, but were repulsed by a galitag
Are, and fell back in good'order.
' The 7th United States Colored Troops then de
ployed four Companies as skirmishers, who advanced
on the fort, which was belching forth missiles of
death, and between two other forts that raked them ■
with a terrible fire as theyrushed on. They hut only
gained tho ditch in front of the parapet. Here it:
was evident that’they could neither advance nor re-'
treat, and after bravely fighting In this perilous po
sition for over three hours, these four companies
were captured by the enemy. r
The 80th U. S. Colored Troops was formed along
the Mill road, and occupied a position within it
short distance of the fort until dark, when the line
,-wss withdrawn, and wo fell hack-a half mile to an
old rebel line, which we now occupy. •
The 7thdost £3O, most of whom were captured.
The loss of the 9th is about ISS. ( .
An orderly sergeant or the 7th, while the four
companies were lnthe ditch, receiving tho concen
trated fire of three forts, made h!s way up to the
rebel parapet, grasped the colors, but they were
, wrenched out of his hands. This brave man, with
one . or two others,'rather than be captured, ran
back to his regiment amid a shower of lead. j
The good conduct of the colored troops, and espef
daily the’absence of all straggling, their uncowcr-
Ing advance In the face of terrific firing, and tho de
feat of the enemy, which was handsomely done by
General Payne, have won for them the sincere ad.
miration, without exciting any envy, of all the
volunteers in the grand Army of the James. As the
colored troops’ are generally known here as “ But-;
ler’s pets,” the commanding general will hardly
have any objection ,to the designation-as long as
they furnish such a splendid record. Boldin. v

BLOCKADE-RUNNERS DESTROYED.
Washington, Oct. 5 —Bear Admiral Lee en
closes sundry North Carolina papers to the Navy
Department to show that the stringency of tha
blockade is felt and acknowledged by the rebels.
The Fayetteville Carolinian says: “ The loss of
the Advance is a pretty severe blow to our State.
She has done noble service for our North Carolina
soldiers, and has paid for herself twenty times
over.”
The “Lynx” Is the name of the steam blockade
runner chased to shore by our vessels on the North
Carolina coast, on the 25th ult., and which was de
stroyed by fire. ,
Information has also been-received of the destruc
tion of/ the blockade-runner Night "Hawk, on the
29th ult., off Chew Inlet, South Carolina, by the
Niphon. She was run ashore on the Federal Shoals,
and the rebel captain, officers, and part of the crew
were brought off, the - remainder having escaped to
the shore. ■
The Night-hawk was an English steamer, with a
general cargo for Wilmington from Bermuda, and
sailed from England on the 2Tth of. August. Her
rate of speed was fourteen'knots. She was of 300 ;
tons burthen, and cost £30,000, having a capacity"
for carrying 800 bales of cotton. ; -
Finding the steamer could not be got off the
shoals, she was set on fire and thus destroyed.
It appears that another vessel succeeded, earlier
in the night, in escaping from New Inlet, although
fired at by the Niphon and apparently struck seve
re! timos.
The Daylight drove oil a blockade-runner which
was attempting to enter New Inlet on the same
morning.’

Advices from Brazos state that the French troops
which advanced from. Bagdad were badly whipped
by Cortinas. The rebels had.appeared on the Texas
side and covered the retreat of the French.
One of Juarez's special agents brings word to the
Union commander at Brazos that during the ab

Archbishop of Mexico and the clergy) had Issued
a pronunciamiento declaring against Maximilian,
and that half the city of Mexico had bees taken by

Wasbinoton, Oct. s.— The Wilmington (N. 0.)
Journal, of Sept. 27th, quotes an article from the
Augusta (Georgia). Constitutionalist, which says:
“ Tho fever seems to be extending Its ravages along
the coast. It Is reported at Savannah, as well as at
Charleston, and is certainly raging at Jacksonville
and St. Augustine, Florida.”
The same paper, in speaking of the loss by fire of
the blockade-runner Lynx, says : “ She was owned
by John Frazer & Go., of Wilmington, and com
manded by Captain Reid. She was bound for Ber
muda, with a cargo consisting of 600 bales of cotton
and $60,000 in gold, in freight or on Government
account.” .
If’further remarks that “ the Tallahassee’s expe--
diUon will not pay a large dividend, and it is much
doubted whether her exploits have weakened the
Yankee Government to any appreciable extent. It
is pretty certain she has turned an, unpleasant
amount of attention on Wilmington, and may be
the cause of bringing down on us the main force of
the Yankee navy, Tho blockade here will bo doubly,

Tl>ff Great Celebration in Lancaster.
THE CANVASS IN THE COUNTRY A MONSTER
’-gathering of country people.
The great meeting at Lancaster, yestefdiyj haS;
almost reversed an old truth. Platform- oratbrs
haveoiten, and not inappropriately, called the Pre--
sidentlal canvass “a great contest," and “ a life
strugglebut those who were witnesses of that
grand old-fashioned country outpouring will.be in
clined to dismiss the last anxiety as to the result
of the election, to give place to the universal
and inspiring confidence which seems to do' no
IeFS than pervade the people of Lancaster coun
ty. Lancaster esteems the present canvass not
so much a contest as a celebration. The struggle
is reallyover, so far as we regard the preponderance
of popular might In the scales of suffrage, and the
loyal people of the land (although, perhaps, they do ‘
not'thoroughly realize it), are indeed celebrating;
their one great, all-including, and filial viotory. In !
advance of time. Tho people are in fact living In
the element of victory whose unmistakeable signs
are enthusiasm and numbers. While rejoicing over !
the "victories of Grant, Sherman, B'arragut, and
Sheridan, the intelligent yeomen of the county of
Lancaster are perfectly conscious that theyara antici-;
patlfig the great victories In October and November
for which our soldiers have been fighting just as'
much as for Eichmond or Atlanta. The people have
organized and predestined victory, and the immense
meeting at Lancaster bears witness how well our
country people feel, if none others do, that to-day
every soldier is. a citizen, and every citizen a soldier,
the present great work of war and poli
tics—tho re-olecUon and salvation of. the 'cause of'
Union and Liberty in the person of Abraham Lin-:
coin. . '
This is exactly the moral of yesterday’s grand
county convention In the ancient town of Lauc&s
ter. It was a very great meeting, In the most re
spectable sense of. adjectives; but like all gather
ings of the people, it is as impossible to describe as'
it would be to paint. So many meetings are held'
during a Presidential canvass, that the .apprecia
tion of large concourses of splendid scenes:
as they truly are, Is extremely rare. Lancaster
compelled lb yesterday, by main pressure, by hun
dreds of crowds, thousands of flags, millions of
fuxoies. The - oldest inhabitant confesses that
he has never seen the people so thoroughly! happy
aid earnest. Large as was last year’s coun
ty gathering, this year surpassed it completely.
There were not a few good-natured and repentant
Copperheads who made the same confession, amid
the general good nature of so wholesome a sight as
the’ Union county meeting. City gatherings have
occasionally furnished greater numbers, but seldom
half so, much £ life and character. It was a Union!
meeting after pattern of tho'Union itself, Lancas
ter’s more than a score of township? pouring in their
delegations from all points of the compass. It may
be described in brief as the assemblage of all Lan
caster county in Lancaster city.
On Tuesday afternoon, anff lrom dawn to noon of
Wednesday, the county, and strangers beyond it,
seemed to be in a constant flow into the county capi-;
tab Through all the streets horseless wagons and
carriages were backed up to the sidewalkb; market;
Was. never so animated and so picturesque as In the
morning; the hotels, high and low, and hundreds of
residences were filled with new comers, to enjoy the
general holiday either as celebrants or spectators.
Mere politics could never receive so unanimous a
tribute from any people, and we can only ascribe it
to the general patriotism of Lancaster.
Between ten and eleven o’clock the procession
came in from the four corners of the town, and the
general parade began. Overloaded wagons, borne
of the j oiliest yeomen; carriages
filled with ladies, and decorated with flower 3: seve

Thaddeus Stevens, ofcourse,) was carried

a Free Fight for Traitors,” was borne on a wagon
full of spmted young ladies. “November Is too
cold for Copperheads to bite;” “We will take care
pf Copperheads while our Soldiers take care of
the .rebels;” “Grant and Sherman the best'and
most reliable • Peace Commissioners“ Father
Abraham, we are coming;” “ Let every soldier re

“ Bemember Gettysburgand the following blunt

—these and more made uffthe Inscriptions of the
banners, Wo .noticed that there were very few and
very feeble cheers for McClellan, by the way; and
that most of the ladies on King street wore patriotic
; badges. The oars coming in were streaming' with
flags; and there was nothing wanting to make the
entire spectacle one of good feeling and loyal enthu
siasm.
In the afternoon the great meeting Was held on a
common, a brief distal ce from the town, and thither
troops of ladles and crowds of men followed the re
giments of the parade, commanded by Lieut. Col,
Miles, of the 79th, late one'or the tunneled-out
prisoners of Libby, and under tiro at Charleston.
It was a splendid scene from the stands, look
ing over the acres of liappy people. Speeches
were delivered from. ' three -platforms, and
as many wagons. Senator Harlan, of lowa, and
General John Cochrane spoke, to attentive and
applauding throngs. Mr. Forney was greeted with,
great cordiality by his old frionds and neighbors,
and could hot thank them too heartily for their kind
reception. Colonel Carpenter, .late a citizen of
Arkansas,, and now of Kentucky, and one of the
most popular speakers of the canvass, followed
him.- Major Frueauif, who commanded the 153 d
Regiment ’at Gettysburg, made a ' gallant
speech, and i Mr, Thomas E, Cochran, of York,
touched the sense of the meeting with a few well
chosen arguments, But the vast audience was even
more eloquent tlian its orators. -
The celebration did not close with the day. With
the eventi g caine a large torch-light proeassiom
and one of General Carl: Sohurz’s. most eloquent
and logical speeches. Seldom has any political de
monstratfon been so thorough and effective.

“Defeat and Befreaf”
To the Editor of The Press:
Sib: In your “Letter from Oooaslon&Ij” of .Oc
tober 3,1864, published in The Press of this morning,
I obsorVed the following sentene‘63:
“ General McClellan is the candidate of defeat and
of retreat; Abraham Lincoln the candidate of progress
and of triumph .”
The truth of the ideas .embodied in this remark,
was forcibly brought to my mind by statements re
eently made by two of General McClellan's political
supporters. '
After Sherman’s victory at Atlanta, one of these
two gentlemen said, in a conversation on the pro
spects of the two candidates for the Presidency, “If
it were not for. these victories, we (that is, the Mc-
Clellan party) would 'have whipped you (I. e. the
Union party) out of your boots. We will whip you
anyhow, I think; but if; these victories had not oc
curred, we would have whipped you so badly that
there would have been nothing left of you.” And,
since Sht ridan’s glorious actions, the other—who is
a member of an important business firm in our city,
which filled Important contracts under the Ad
ministration of Mr, Buchanan—made use of a re
mark of similar character, though more strongly
expressed. This latter gentleman if of some promi
nence politically, as well as in his mercantile po
rtion. : ‘ .
Does it not seem too sad and shameful for belief
that the successof the Democratic candidate for the
Presidential chair Is to depend largely on the “ de
feat and retreat ” of the armle| of his ‘country % and
that the “progress and triumph " of our national
arms will contribute to the overthrow of his hopes,
and to the disappointment of his .supporters ? Yet
such is, indeed, the fact. Comment upon such a
condition of party and of canditate isless than need
less. ■. vvV.:.'/ :
Should any one doubt the accuracy of the state
ment made above, do me the favor to give him, on
application to you, my name And residence. I
would be glad to furnish such a one with proof, if
he should desire it, of the truth of that which is here
written. *
I am, sir, yours, truly,
Phix.abbt.phia, October 4,18G4.
A Test of the Union.
To the Editor of The Press:
Sib : Yesterday at a wedding party held in our
city every one present was in favor of the Adminis
tration, and opposed to the election.of GK B. Mc-
Clellan. The bride and groom, and the ministers
who officiated, especially proclaim. their loyalty. We
note the event as remarkably encouraging.' Stay
future union of hearts be as decided In favor or the
Union of these States. ■
I am, sir, yours truly,
PhilAba., Oct, 6,1864.
, Theßilliard Tournament.
Mr. Bird, In his game with Mr. Hewes, yesterday
afternoon, won easily, the loser making but 290
points. The highest runs ofMr. Bird were 30, 23,
44,31,61,114 i those of air., Hewes 20, 23, 32, 31.
Average, 11.27. Mr. JEstephe defeated Mr.JMontgo
mery. one of the strongest players, handsomely by
183 points. In the latter part of the game espe
cially, Mr. Estephe seemed to avoid “nursing” the ;
balls, and, confident of victory, displayed some of
the most brilliant and dashing features of his style.
This hold play, though it"added. much to the into-,
rest of the game, did hot increase the number of his
long runs, which were as follows : 42,36,30, 47,29,
37, 23,34, 22 i those of Mr. Montgomery, 37,23, 28.
In the evening, Messrs. Ky all and Plunkett played
the closest, and, In some respects, tlio most exciting
match or the tournaSient. Neither player could be
said to have any advantage throughout the game.
The lead was constantly exchanged, and in the last
hundred each was in turn a few points ahead. This
close contest continued, amidst much excitement,
until the score stood Plunkett, 494; Ryail, '485.' It
was the former’s turn to. play, and he scored sSx
points, but an error of the marker, which Mr.
Plunkett failed to correct, placed him at 499. Ac
cording to the rule's which govern match games this
mistake gaye Mr. Kyall another inning, and he at
once scored five, winning the match. Byall’s best
runs were 25,45,.64,26,32,23; those of Plunkett, 52,
40, 20, 47, 38, 35. Average, 9.32.
The next game was between Nelms and
Palmer, Nelms winning by very brilliant play,
making many fancy strokes, and giving an exhibi.
tionof skill, unusual in a match game. Yet so
excellent and sound was the play of the victor that
his opponent scored out 209. VWe should- do Mr.
Nelms 'the justice to say 'that his average in his
match with Mr. Byall was 18)4, not 12)4, as printed
yesterday. The highest runs.of Nelms were 31, 20,
38, 58,57, 21, 65, 42, 40 ; those of Mr. Palmer 18, 19,
22; average, 11.16. The contest for the champion
ship now.lies between'Messrs: Nelms and JS3tephe,
each having won three games and lost none, while
each of the other competitors have been defeated.
The tournament will be resumed this afternoon by
games between Hewes and Byall, and Montgomery
and Nelms. In the evening Estephe will play
against Palmer, and Bird against Plunkett.
Stockett Matthews, a Maryland anti-slavery
man, .'poke the following eloquent words at the gnat
meeting in Boston:
“ Gentlemen, tMs world is never the same at set
of sun that it was at its rising [applause], ancl any
man who supposes that the whirlwind of civil revo
lution; of strife, of carnage, of slaughter, of sacri
fice, of such heroism as has been shown on the part
of the North, in shedding the best blood of the flower
of the land, of suehmunmcenee as has been displayed
by the people of the North In pouring out their vast
treasures to sustain the Government—l say;-' if
any man can suppose that such a whirlwind as
this; with all,the heroic circumstances and unnum
bered sacrifices that have attended it, can pass over
this land and leave it as it was before the storm
came,; he is ‘either a fool, hopelessly incapable of
being taught, or he is such, an utter rebel to God
and man that to talk with Mm is a sheer waste of
time. [Loud applause.] T accept this war. IknOw
what it means. Don’t you know what it means?
[Voices —“ Yes.”] If any of you do not, I will tell
.you what it means. It is a furnace-fire,-and you are
being purified; it is a trying ordeal, andiyou are
being tried ; it is a great school for the education of
this people,: and they are being educated. It Is
God’s own predetermined .way of making tbe Ame
rican "continent a /Republic of freemen, without a
slave/ [Loud-applause, and cries of “Grand!
Grand!’.’]. •. . : .
