Picayune Arguments.
How the President receives his salary, or
what ho does with it, has.scemcd.to us too
small a matter for newspaper, comment;
"but it is upon downright falsehood, in con
nection with such subjects as these, that
some of the Chief arguments of our political
opponents are based. The report that Pre
sident Lincoln drew his salary iu gold ori
ginated, it is wcll khowu, • in a falsely-,
styled Democratic paper of this city. We
gave its wretched story fitting contempt,
dismissing it in a te w lines informing the
public that so far from drawing -his salary
in gold, the President' had rarely drawn
his salary at all. The slander,-however,
travelled further than the truth, and. at last
reached the ears of Register Chittenden,
of the Treasury, then at home in Vermont,
from whom it received an indignant de
nial. Ithas also called - forth a'letter from
United States Treasurer Spinner, in an
swer to the questions of a friend in New
Jersey. The whole refutation does so much
honor to the magnanimous and simple cha
racter of the President, that we,/are amazed
at the foolhardiness of the falsehood which
provoked it. We desire to make an exam-
ple' of this story, - for the ■ benefit of its class,
and wo therefore publish the following ex
tract from the'letter of Gen. Spinner, the
U. S. Treasurer : /
“ Washington, Ootobor is, 1864.
* <* The salary of the Pn-sideut is -paid on warrant
drafts on the Treasury for the amount duo, less In
• -come tax. These warrants are paid him regularly,
-monthly. Instead of drawing his money on these
drafts, he,has been in-the habit of leaving It a long
time without Intel est.i In on* <saaa Ms salary remain
ed for eleven months.
" On several occasions I sollolted the President to
draw what was due him,-urging that he was losing
largely 'ln Interest on ■ the amount due him. He
askeftme, 1 Who gains by my loss 1/ On my answer
ing, ‘The United States,’ hejreplied, 'Then, its it
got! f m\Oie good, of the country, let it remain } the
'Treasury needs it more-than I So,’
“ Having at length-satisfied', the President that It
-was necessary to the closing of my annual accounts
that thc-drafts on the Treasury that he held should
be presented and paid, he endorsed and 'handed
them to me, I drew the amount In United - , States
-notes'and placed it to hls credit as a,/temporary
loan at B per cent, per annum, payable, prinolpai
and interest, in greenbacks, ; Since then hls salary
/has been from time to time mostly invested In stocks
of the United-States, purchased at current rates by
hls friends for him. The interest of these stooks is
payable in coin. When this interest became due, I
tried to induce him to draw It. Falling In so doing,
the amount due'' him . was sent him by Hon. J. 0.
Underwood, Judge of the United States Court, Dis
trict of Virginia?’, ' -
An investigation of the transactions of the Presi
dent connected with the receipt of his salary has -
-been made, from which it appears that Mr. Lincoln,
from hls forbearance in collecting hls dues, has lost
at least four thousand dollars, and which he hat oir
lually given to the people of the United States.
JobnC. Underwood states to General Spinner, - :
41 In the early part .ol lost summer you desired me
to take a little bag of gold over to Mr. Lincoln, to
whom it belonged, It being the Interest due upon -
Government bonds. I took the bag to Mr. Lincoln;
-and delivered your message,-and counted out the
coin to oversight hundred dollars,. His reply was 1
that he was,in no/immediate want of the money,
and he reckoned the Treasury heeded it more than
he did, and, therefore, he wished me to take it back
to you, that Itmight be used for the benefit of the
countty. •
“ Pondering upon his noble example of patriotism
and unselfish. devotion to the great .cause in which
we are engaged, I obeyed him, and, as you remem
ber, returned the bag with its contents to your cus- ■
tody." , ./ - -/. ' . ■;
Leroy Tuttle, assistant cashier of-.the United
•States, writes to General Spinner that the first in
vestment or the President was in sixteen thousand
two hundred dollars seven and three-tenths bonds,
whioh'he left in the vaults as a special deposit-in
the winter of 1862, and held them until July, when
-he converted them Into sixes. • - ; v
The interest on the seven-thirties was usually left
•uncollected after falling due. For inßtanoe, the in
terest was sent him in coin, which lie returned, with
the message that the Government heeded it more
than he did. On the Ist of August, a friend Of the -
President came into the cashier’s room with eleven
Treasury drafts due the President, each draft being
for a month’s salary, making in all the preceding
•eleven months’ salary, or twenty twothousand three
-hundred and six dollars and slxty-seven oents, for
-whioh amount a loan certlHca te was/given, payable
rin legal-tender Treasury notes, bearlngfive per cent, - i
.Interest, payable In like funds.
Seventeen days thereafter another deposit of three
■thousand eight hundred and - seventy-four dollars
and Bevehty-three cents was mado for him, payable/
,ta like manher. Said certificates were presented for
payment on the 18th of. July last, nearly one year
after date of deposit, by a friend of the President,
who took therefor lawful money, aim Invested thb
.same in United States stocks.
The present investments of the President are ill
United States stocks, upon which interest is ? paya
ble the same:as to any private citizen, but unlike
•citizens generally, he has not heretoforehad his in
terest until long after it wag due, and then it was
always collected by some friend of the President
who said the President would never oollect it him
self. ■ ■ • ■
Aside from the loss of interest to the President
by his neglect to collect tt until months after it was
due, the single transaction of loan certificates, con
sidering his uncollected salary for one year, and the
difference between five per cent.’ lawful money
-which he received and six per cent, in coin which he
might have received, will show a loss or four thou
sand dollars ifi this one transaction.
This letter, however, does not dispose of
all the-outright falsehood which is used by
the meaner faction of our opponents as a
sort of small coin for carrying elections.
Picayune arguments as they are,'we desire
■foshow our Union friends everywhere that,
intelligible as our cause is, there is still rea
son for continued zeal and activity, linked
-with the kindness of friendship and the
patience of the schoolmaster.’ "What will
enlightened men say ,to ; ’.this ?; 1 Yester
day we received the folio wing information
from an earnest and intelligent Unionist in
d distant county:
“A gentleman of intelligence from Western Ohio
-visited my store yesterday, and assured me that we
lad lost hundredsof young men’s votes by a weapon
which the Copperheads have used with signal suc
cess; their leaders convinced them bythe most spe-
cious and seductive arguments that directly alter
he was elected Lincoln would order and enforco.&n~
: other draft, and the only means to avoid it was to
put McClellan In his stead. They so worked upon
their fears and magnified the danger, that my in
formant said (with tears of provocation), hundreds
voted to escape ‘ taxation and oonscription,’ who,
In their inmost hearts, preferred Lincoln to McClel
lan; as an honest and able man.”
How, it seems almost unnecessary to
deny so ‘ patent a trick as ,\hat which our
correspondent exposes;,yet it is obvious
that there are thousands who do not read
the truth;-and who, for want of being
*tanght the very' alphabet of our politics,
are ignorantly 'led' away by unscrupulous
demagogues; ' Philanthropic and patriotic
men have at hand armories of weapons
with which to execute service against
error—and they must use them actively
and generously. The election is a great
school for the education of the people, and
in our teachings the poor must not be
abandoned/ Do we need argument to
show that “Lincoln will enforce ano
ther draft,” and that “McClellan will
•do away with all conscription, ” are sen
tences utterly and atrociously false in spirit
and fact ? Quote the letters of Gen. Mc-
Clellan favoring conscription; the letters
of Grant and Bherman, proving how very
near rebellion is to its end, and how the
last draft satisfied the demands of the army.
Quote the Chicago platform to show how
it is proposed , either to shatter the Union,
into fragments forever by a disgraceful and
illegal armistice at once recognizing seces
sion and Southern Confederacy, or
to reprosecute* the- war with, accumulated
difficulty and,, suffering. Show, them that
the foes of the poor men all oyer the world
are the bitter enemies of President Lin
coln, from i the London Timas and the
British aristocracy, who hold all the suffer
ings'and heart-burnings of Ireland in con
tempt, to the slaveholders of the South,
who keep, the poor white as well as the
poor black chained down with shackles of
ignorance and dependency. Tell them,
what the enlightened men of the South,
say ; quote the remarkable words of Ex- •
Senator Clemens, a well- known Union
citizen of a rebel State; * ‘ From Geneval
.McClellan you have nothing to expect
but still gi eater .destitution" and 1 prolonged
misery." Bring Gen. Gantt, Gen. Hamil
ton, Judge. Durant, Rev. Robert J.
.Breckinridge tp,the-witness stand— meit
who hare lived among the rebels, and wit
messed the workings of rebellion. Quote
the rebels themselves. -Repeat President'
Lincoln's own words, for he has written
some of the noblest sentences of the time.
Bring, besides, the formidable testimony
-of all the heroes of the army, with that
multitude of true Democrats whose De
mocracy haß stood the test of experience—
Holt, Dickinson, Grant, Sherman, ■
Rosecrans, Meagher, & c ., & c . Show
that, in. fact, one-half of. the war is-carried
oii by the ablest meh of the old Democratic
party. All this we have shown,,and much
more. Our friends should take up the
vwork, and prosecute it earnestly.
Hot a-few complaints, but many, , are
directed to these columns against the style
of argument employed by the leaders and
•Mainers of the Opposition.' We give an
other sample, from'a letter signed by “An
Old-line Whig:”- ,
“On'Friday morning last I was standing near
Second and Noble streets, where a leading Copper
liead of SQTQ6 ' ability collected, a crowd, and swore,
■to tLonjvin-the most solemn manuerthat to bad
sjsan scores upon scores of times the wife and dangU
. v -
t»M of Johnson, our candidate for the Tice Presi
dency, and that they were allnegrestee. Would
Uiey, white men and freemen, suffer this V>
i This passes comment, but servos to show,
that ignorance of political matters is just
in proportion to the success of political;
knaves. It is worth -while, however, -to -1
, inform our correspondent that there'was a
Johnson, Democratic candidate for the-
Vice Presidency, who was known to have
lieen blessed with an accomplished daugh
ter who/ was a hegress, and was himself
believed to be t shadowed by the same ele
ment of race. But - his, opponents, as well
as his neighbors, refrained from using such
arguments against him. His name/ was
Col. Richard M. Johnson, of Kentucky.
, The instances we have mentioned rare
some degrees lower in contempt than, the
‘‘picayune arguments” to which the
President referred in his brief speech to
his warmest friends, the common soldiers.
The canse of the Opposition, however, is
made up of a family of arguments no bet
ter, in fact, than these; and they show the
unresting, mischief as well as the moral
poverty of our opponents. They must be
met' in the simple industry of kindness,
and missionaries of facts, truth and zeal,
roust be sent abroad to enlighten. The
Opposition will not cease saying that the
ljcli are making money out of the war to,
oppress the poor. Let us show them how
the .rich have poured out money and life
in no’ hope of a return save in the bless
ing of an honorable .peace for the home
and the cause .of the poor. Show them
how this is truly and profoundly the
poor man’s war, and how the ingrained
aristocracy, of the whole world is leagued
against it. The poor man who deliberate
ly votes against the cause of freedom is a true
aristocrat, when the rich man who. sup
ports it is a real democrat. Our friends
will not forget, and every poor” man
should remember that Abraham Lincoln
was, indeed, “a rail-splitter,” once upon
a time, and Andrew Johnson “ a boorißh
tailor.” “Tour father’s son may find him
self in the place of my father’s son,” says
Abraham Lincoln-; and these words of a
father; of the people are a whole chapter
upon democracy. Wc must remember that
our, cause is one -against 1 aristocracy, and*
that every poor man is summoned to the
•rescue.,- ■ ■■
Prisoners Paroled to Serve under General
/McClellan.
Wo print, aa follows, an important state
ment, not new to the public, but in its pre
sent; shape, attested by the law, and sworn
and {subscribed to by a Union soldier be
fore.Tespecja.ble and well-known witnesses,
its value as an index Whatever
■may; be thought of General McClellan, it
.cannot be disputed that even the most in
veterate rebel desires his election to the
Presidency. The meanness/ and folly of
the act which a Union soldjer’s solemn
oath puts upon record below are far ex
ceeded by the cruelty with which our sol
diers have been treated in the prisons of
the South; and-perhaps we shall realize
that after all, to use an old idea, knaves
are nothing more than fools by a kind of
circumbendibus:
Montgomery County, ss.
. Personally appeared before me, a justice of the
peace in andior fold county, Franklin Sohwenk, of
Upper Provldenoe township, Montgomery county,
and State of Pennsylvania, a“ private of Company
H, 13th Regiment-Pennsylvania Cavalry, who, on
his solemn oath| depoeeth and says, that on the 9th
day of .March, 1864, he was taken prisoner near
Bristow Station, Va., and oonveyed to Belle Isle
•prison, and from thence to General Hospital NO. 21,
In Richmond; that on the last day of August, 1864,
the Director of said hospital waited on Mm, and
proposed to parole him and, to permit him to return
home if.he would promise ;to vote; for George B,
McClellan at the approaching election; that he,
the .said Franklin Sohwenk, in order to escape from
starvation and rebel atrocity, did make saia prom
ise, andtherefore was paroled. * The said Franklin
'Sohwenk further says, under his solemn oath, that
all prisoners of said.hospital who frankly,and posi
tively said they would vote for Abraham Lincoln,
were not paroled, but retained In said hospital. -

Will men who declare their faith in the
Union still doubt that the best way to serve
the ruinous purposes of the rebels is to vote
that faction into power which made Gen.
nominationunanimous ?
Remarkable signs of the times are a few
facte- gathered from' the .late election in
Ohio. In Hamilton county, where is situ
ated the home of the Peace -candidate for.
the Yice Presidency, the Unionists have
gained their greatest victory. The majo
rity of Mr. Eggleston, the loyal candi
date, is 1,700 on the home vote, which will
be increased by the soldiers’ vote to 4,000. *
To give this result more emphasis, l jye-need
only state that the ’opponent of Mr. Eg- -
glestojs was ex-Senator Pugh, and that in
1862 Mr. George H. Pendleton carried
the same district by 1,127 Democratic: ma
jority. The same weight of retribution
has fallen upon the Hon. Alexander
Long, the man who advocated submission
to the rebellion, and the recognition of the
South, on the floor of Congress. He did
not even dare to ask a re-election, and the
district which formerly gave him 131 ma
jority has bestowed 2,300 majority on the
Union candidate, with the prospect of 3,000
more; from, the soldiers’ vote. Thus, in one
single county of Ohio, in which two of the
most prominent Copperheads in the coun-’
try once achieved a joint majority of 1,258,
the people have gone for the Union by the
grand majority of 9,000, This is a paraly
zing rebuke.
There is a well-founded apprehension in
Missouri that the rebels will control the
polls in some districts, no military order
apparently existing to prevent them from
voting. .There is no danger that the elec
tion will be coerced, while there is every
danger' that the rebels will be allowed to
vote. A Missouri correspondent says:
" There is no military order existing to prevent
rebels from voting, and except the military authori
ties protect the polls (the rebels will carry In a ma
j°rUy °f instances, : The only protection for the
purity of the ballot-box in Missouri lies in the en
forcement of a law requiring voters to take an oath
of allegiance to the United States Government and
10 the Provisional Government of the State, and
that they have hot, at any time since the 17th of-
Decembor, 1861, wilfully taken up arms against
either. In the counties where , disloyal men are lu
the majority; the election will be carried by them,
for they will drive loyal men away, and In this will
be aided by all the b'ushwackers in their neighbor
hood. On the other hand, the law will be enforced -
In the loyal districts; but. the questlon ls, will the
loyal vote counterbalance the’disloyal! Without
■arguing- the case which is presented already, the
want now felt is a sufficient military order to pre
vent rebels, from-voting.” , *
Political Parody.
Mr; Boxer’s last poem must be a fortu
nate and popular one, since, like the poems
of the Laureate, ’it so generally awakens
the spirit of parody. The galloping verse
of “ Cavalry Sheridan” has vibrated-many
echoes, and one or two from those who are
quite as much the enemies of Sheridan as
bf Boker. Parody/however, can do bet
ter service on the loyal side, as, for instance,
in these volunteer verses from a corre
spondent;

LETTER FROM "OCCASHWAIi.”
Washington, Oct. 16, 1864,
Jefferson Davis, like Canning’s "de
! mented -friend,” has grievously ..offended
This followers by boldly telling them the
a truth. .When a proud and ruling//spirit
like Davis confesses what he has confessed
in his late speeches at Macon and Augusta,
Georgia, and at Columbia, South Carolina,
,it would be folly to. look for confidence
and courage among men of less stamina
and courage. He who was to carry every
thing with a high hand, who looked do wn
upon the Northern people; as inferiors, and
who expected to create a,, government in a
day, now finds himself without an army
or a treasury, and surrounded by a de
spondent and. suspicious people: The very
Inst man I would; have supposed 'willing/
to yield to . the-stern logic of events has
been -the first to give way. When to the.
causes which induced these confessions
is added the intelligence of the recent,’
elections in the great Middle States,
we may look for other demonstrations
from Davis, and for a new outbreak of dis
content among the victims of his ingrati
tude to the Government of his fathers.
Without thinking of the steady progress
of our army, may we not confidently ask,'
How long can these victims continue to sup
port leaders who themselves despair of suc
cess, and frankly say so, and tliat, too, at a.
time when the Northern people are voting
in favor of persistent and yet more vigorous
war, and sustaining, by. great majorities at
the ballot-boxes, the Administration that
has prosecuted l that war ? Nor are the
Southerners blind or deaf to Mr. Lincoln’s
standing offer of forgiveness whenever they,
are ready to return to the comfortable fold
of the Union. The gloomy tone of him who
calls himself President of the' Confede
racy,.and the bright and hopeful language
of him who is the duly-elected President
of the United States, constitute a' contrast
that must .dispel the sternest prejudices.
Jefferson Davis deserves credit, therefore,
for speaking out. He is evidently tired of
bis position—tired of living in an atmos-/
phere of lies—tired of a life compounded
of treachery to his old and deceit to his
new political relations. He was educated
a gentleman, and always sustained that
character here, with friend and foe. No
suspicion of personal dishonesty or politi
cal dissimulation ever ‘ tainted his good
• name. ■ And if it occasioned 1 surprise l
that such a personage should lend him
self to a; cause so dark and damnable
•as tlie rebellion, it cannot occasion surprise
that the elements of his real nature, and
the recollections of his national career,
should have risen in revolt, and compelled
him to give penitential utterance to his dis-.
gust and despair at the measureless failure
of his plans. The catastrophe of Aaron
Burr’s ' dream of empire was not more
complete than that of Jefferson Davis
is sure to bo. Whether the living will
end his days like the dead traitor, God
alone can tell. But it is not ah un
reasonable prediction, in. view of the late
remorseful exhibitions of Davis,- that he
will become a wanderer on' the; face of
the earth, shunning, if not shunned; by, all
patriotic men, a prey to the keenest of dis
eases, the torturing sense of a loss of self- -
respect, and thp ever-presenj thought that
he sought the life of his country and failed
in the attempt! Occasional.
< The Triumph in Maryland.
The most cheering result of all. the re
cent elections is the Union triumph record
ed in Maryland. - Definite telegrams assure
us that Maryland has adopted her new]
Constitution by a clear majority of 889
over all votes, 'and this vote will probably
be increased 500 by further returns from
the soldiers. More gratifying than any
merely partisan or political victory is the
great moral result that Maryland is now a
free State.

Washington, : Oct. 17.—The Chronicle or this
morning contains the following correspondence froni
General Grant’s army: 1
Before Petersburg, Oct. 15,15G1,
A soldier belonglngto the 2d Maryland Regiment
was executed for desertion. This was an old oase
of heinous charaoter,.and good discipline could not
permit the interference of mercy. The way of the
deserter is hard. That is, the man who leaves
his command in this army, expecting easier and
better times within ;the rebel - lines, wiii soon
and certainly find himself egreglously mistaken..
When their back is turned upon the command
to which they belong, misfortune dogs their steps
like a sleuth-hound, i A life of vagabondage is -be
fore them. Brief it is, and full of sorrows. Some
succeed in exchanging blue lor gray clothes. Thus
Clad they visit some extreme portion of the line,
and yield themselves as deserters. Unfortunately
for them, so many examinations have to be gone
through on their way, and at the Provost Marshal
that not one of them eversucoeeds In
effecting his escape. These men are few in. number;.
They have plenty of money—bounties, perhaps,.for
several enlistments. Their great desire Is. to break
from control, and go where their money will boget ■
for them enjoyment.: Desertions from _thjß enemy:
decrease dally. The utmost vigilance is maintained
by their outpoßts, and the man- who endeavors* to r
leave greatly endangers his life. ■ ■■■•■■'--
The rebel cavalry appearto have been massing on
our left. A raid was thought to have been medi
tated on the railroad near Warren Station. Seleo--
tions by brigades from th,e different-divisions of the
sth Corps were held in abeyance. If the rebels.had
come, it would have proved for them a costly visit.' •:
One would think they had no mounted men with
which to make-raids. Custer and Merritt have not
only mortified their insolent pride, hut utterly
crushed every prospect of that arm of their service
ever retrieving its former excellence, or achieving
anything like: the old renown. With the days of
Ashby and Stuart has passed away the glory of the
rebel cavalry.
While leaving the horse-racing yesterday, two
horses, running with great speed -from opposite di
rections, collided; one of the riders, a captain, was
thrown off, and fouhdtobe in an insensible condi
tion. His recovery is expected. This accident had
no depressing influence upon those who enjoyed the
sport. Arrangements were then and there made for
fresh trials of speed; and at the same time and
place another race is appointed to coma off this
afternoon.- * •
The 9th Corps retain their old position in quie
tude. Having many new men, drilling is going on
atallhours of the day. The situation of the 2d
Corpß being closer to the enemy, Is not so corn-*
fortable and peaceful. Hast night the cannon from
their neighborhood hoarsely at long
period,;, afid musket shots were very-frequent, This
may haye been amusement to those engaged, but
was annoying to any one courting the drowsy god.
WHAT DESERTERS* INFORMATION IS WORTH
FIRING ON OUR EXTREME LBF I—OUR TROOPS EN
JOYING EXCELLENT HEALTH.
[Special Correspondence of The Press.]
Before Petersburg! Oct. 17. 1864.
The rebel cavalry failed to keep their appoint
ment." We were all disappointed, and hoped
their appearance would relieve .the monotonous
time. A, deserter came into our: lines two days
ago. There Is nothing uncommon about this;
more or less of this ilk elude the rebel- senti
nels, and escape to our protection every day. This
one had a secret to disclose; so do they all have
a story to unfold. General Heth begged per
mission of General Lee to charge the works oc
cupied by the colored troops of the 9th Corps.
If consent was given, he promised to- carry
these fortifications by assault and capture most of
the occupants.- General Lee refused, thanking-i
the officer for his brave offer, and informing him oP
another, design which he then entertained. This j
was neither more nor less than a- secret concentra
tion of cavalry upon our left. They were to mardb
to our rear and achieve the same ends which- Heth
volunteered to attain with- his division: How ro
mantic Is this narrative ! It|ls a fair specimen of
the Information communicated by deserters.
-Lieutenant Colonel Cook and Adjutant Coch
rane, of the 75th New York, were mustered out of'
service by reason of expiration of term. The former
came out three years ago as a. junior captain of his
regiment, and has twice been wounded during the
lengthy campaign. Great and numerous are the’
Vicissitudes of war. Col. Livingstone, commanding
the 76th Now York, returned to-day and took charge
of the regiment. Since the battle of Gettysburg he
has been in Washington, serving’on Gen. Casey’s
board of examination. - - ' ~
Very early yesterday morning a few cannon shots
were fired on the extreme leit, Every one noticed
this, because our line orosßing the Jerusalem road
has lately monopolised all the skirmishing and oan
nonadlng. It is all very harmless, and perhaps just
as necessary. The weather is very snltabiefor cam
paigning. Water is becoming cool ..enough to
make it palatable, and the roads could not be'in
better condition. Three months ago the rebel news
papers said our troops could not exist In the malari
ous regions round about Petersburg. The months
of September and Ootober, so replete with disease
and death, they prophesied would carry off all that
was left'by their guns. At this time the health of
the troopß is’excellent, and their oheerfulneaa re
markable. . R. MoB.

Extreme Front, Oct. 16,1884.
Yesterday morning the leit of our line- was glad.:
doned, by a fort, which appeared to the astonished
gaze ol our troops as soon aslt was light. It was
built during the evening previous, by whatls leit
oi those fighting regiments, the 4th and 6th U. S. C,
T., and so. silently was the work conducted that
those inside of the breastworks had no knowledge or
its being In the course of construction. The fort is
- on a fine eminence, and commands several points of
the James, one of which is distant not more than
five hundred yards. The rebel rams and gunboats -
lie at present under thwguns of-thls fort. Ofcourse
other works are being constructed, ; and all naoessary
preparation is grandly progressing to a satisfactory
completion. There-is entire confidonce in- the array
that Gen. Butter Is now master- of the. situation,
end, if possible, this belief'ls shared toia fuller- ex

instance of Gtneral Butler’s way of treating the

enemy ba3 placed our colored-soldiers and their
- officers, prisoners ofwsr In their hands, under a
strong guard, to work upon the fortifications around

The ebeiny was duly, notified of the fact, and as one
of the reenltis, the’Skielllng has by no means been as

do so much the more labor; and, with the addition of'
a few hundred rebel prisoners, the canal will sooh

hero that the enemy is welcome toall he can make
in dealing with General Butler. He has said that
he would cram Dutch Gap with rebels, and no one
hero doubts that he will do It, and you may roly
upon It that each one frill as faithfully perform his
full share of labor as the negro slaves under him
were obliged to do In theirday of prosperity.
The general sltuation'of attairs remains Unchanged
since my laßt despatch. Considerable firing was
heard last night and early th s morning, supposed
to be In front of Petersburg, -probably nothing more
than an exchange of leaden compliments.

state that Lieutenant A. Gxuell, of' the Tth Ken

miles from Chattanooga, on Wednesday, drove a
small rebel force out of town, pursued them, and

10,000, are all in the country between Chattanooga
and Dalton. > •
The rebels entered Reeaca on Wednesday morn
ing, and took the only troopß there, a colored regi
ment, by surprise. The rebels Immediately there
after moved on to Dalton. On Friday there was
considerable alarm at Chattanooga, and every able
bodied man was put to work on, the fortifications.
At tho last -advices, Gen. Kilpatrick, with his ca
valry, was at Dalton.
No apprehensions are now felt for Chattanooga or
Knoxville.
Gen. Sherman has over one hundred days’ rations
at Atlanta. Knoxville.has an abundance of pro
visions to stand a six months’ siege, and at Chatta
nooga the government storehouses are full of.pro--
visions, and large supplies besides are on the
ground, covered with tarpaulins.
General Mllroy was at Tullahoma, and General
Schofield at Chattanooga.
A private but reliable report says that-on Satur
day Hood’s army was- between Dalton and La
fayette, making for the latter place,-with General
Sherman pressing him closely.
Prominent military men say that-Hood’s last
move placeß him exactly In the position desired by

purpose at the headquarters, island Bridge. The prin
cipal leaders of the corps puoilistique were in attend
ance, and the character of the meeting was one of an •
usual: interest anil excitement. Confusion Was made
worse confounded by the fact that there hadybeen no
ropss and stakes provided for the encounter. At three
o’clock m the afternoon, the question was -mooted as'
to who should be the right man in the right place’ as
- referee. ■ ■ ■:- .' ■
“Mr. Brunton, on behalf of Mace, named Mr. Smith;
hut this selection was objected to by Mr. James, the re
proientative of Coburn. ; Mr Jamoe then named Mr.
: Thomas Bowling, brother-in-law of Coburn, residing
Bear Limerick. This Mr. Brunton immediately object
ed to as preposterous. A brief but hot argument en
sued, and the parties separated without agreeing to a
reieree. The matter consequently stands over for adju
dication by the final stakeholder on Friday next, l-he
chief police authorities hare daring the morniag pub
licly notified thal’measures would be adopted to pro
ven; the fight taking place in any part of Ireland? un
der the penalty of personal restraint to, all . parties con
cerned. The issue is most galling to the whole sporting
community, and another blow has, doubtless, been
struck against pugilism. ”
The Morning Advertiser says: “There will be no
fight bctVeen'Mace and Coburn. The bubble has burst
thron gh. Harry Brunton, on the part of Mace, met Mr.
lidwin James, of Hew York, on the part of Cobarn, to
name a ref*ree.- -After winning the first chance lor
choice, Brunton chose the gentleman who officiated at -
the battie ol King and Heenan To this the Coburn
party at once objected. Brunton then said he would
not refuge any well-known and disinterested person.
Thereon Mr. - Jsmes named Mr. Bowling,- purlicau, at
Luteiicb, vt horn no one present knew. Brunton re
fused his assent. It is asserted tuat the person named is
Coburns hrother-iu-iaw. Gonldßct-oye, tieur Cashel,
was stated to be Goburn’schoice of ground. ” '
A Limerick telegram states that Coburn, accompanied
by his friends, made their appearance on the 4th, onthe
spot fixed for the fight, amidst tremendous cheers from
an immense multitude. It is said that he will claim-the'
stakes; owing to the non-appearance of Mace.
■ The police' were' on the alert at all the stations from
Kildare to I.ini brick Junction, and several per Sons-mi
staken for Mace and Coburn were reportod to have been
arrested., „

I transmlt the ’ result of the election in this regi
ment on Tuesday last.' The entire number of votes
polled:was 116, representing sixteen counties. For
Congress the Union candidates received 82 vote 3
and the eopperbottom candidates 20 votes. Very
little interest was manifested in'the election. Quite
a number of mem were not assessed in time to vote.
We are referving our. heaviest fire for the Presi
dential election, when we intend to do better, tittle
Mac. is the favorite candidate of the rebels, and
they frequently cheer for him along the lines. Their
Officers tell them that as soon as McClellan becomes
President, he will stop the war and acknowledge
their Davis Confederacy.; .But we rather.think SB.
Lincoln, honest and true, will be bur next as he is
our present Chief Executive. Is there not a very
important screw loose somewhere when traitors in

near the end*of the game, when the score stooa
Estephe 751, Kavanagh 653, made the une<]o a (i M

“pushshot,” and on a pocket-table, higher rant
have been made, but. in legitimate billiards on a
carem table Mr. Estephe'has made the highest on
record. The probabilities are decidedly In his f aror
in the new match, though Mr. Ryall is a player of
great ability, and may be more fortunate than he
was In the tournament.

CITY ITEMS.
The Latest and Best.—We were mistaken I*
supposing that that admirable Instrument of hoose.
hold? Industry and, economy (the sewing maohiaej
had been brought to a “state of perfection before the
advent of the Florence. But since witnessing the
operations of that; truly, w onderful machine, we
have no hesitation In' pronouncing- the Florence,
beyond comparison, the best;' family machine ever
offered to the public, Inasmuch as it not only over,
comes all the objections of what havebeen heretofore
considered first-class machines,- hut' surpasses its
predecessors in every point of , excellence. Doing
all the old ones ever could do with greater e we, and
possessing Improvements that none others in ex
istence can approach; for the benefit of our readers
w% wHlmentlonsome of the many advantages *f
the Florence:
First. It has a uniform and self-regulatlng ten
sion of thread, and guides the workitself.
- Second. It has the reversable/'feed motion, and
fastens, off its own ejjds of seams, thereby saving
much hand labor.
Third. It makes' four separate and distinct
stitches, enabling the operator to select and adapt
the stitch to the fabric, to be sewed.
- Fourth. Each stlteff presents the same appearance
on eithersideofthefatiric. .Changes from one kind
of a stitch to another arc made without stopping
the machine.
Fifth. It is free from the objections of being com
plicated, and Is so entirely simple in its mechanical
. construction that a child can understand and ope
rate with ease;
' Sixth. There are no springs to get outof order ; an
its motions being positive,!! will last a lifetime.
Seventh. It sews with the greatest facility aU
kinds of family work, from the finest to the coarsest,
and useß all kinds of eilk and thread, from No. *i
to No. 200, without breaking or skipping stichcsi. Jf
Eighth. >The ? iiaoiiine Itselff as well as the wei*
it performs, presents a. more beautiful appearance
than any of .its-" rivals, which is .a point to be con
sidered. ■"*. '' V -
Ninth. The Florence being perfect In its me
chanlcal construction,'andposssessing so many ad
.vantages.over all others, Is warranted to give entire
satisfaction, or so that par
- chasers ran not the slightest 'risk In buying. It ti
worth a visit to the salesrooms of the Florence, ete
Chestnut street, to soe these wonderful machines
in operation; and' wo recommend our readers to *
avail themselves of the opportunity before pur
chasing other machines, feeling confident that they
willthankus'forth©adiffce.' ~ ’ ; ‘ ‘
AH INVALUABLE &RTICLB FOR THE HAIR —The
human hair Is so conspicuous an element of beauty
and comfort," to? every one l that any discovery bal

to the author of “ Lubin’s Floriline,” which Is be*
yond doubt the grandest article for the Hair ever
invented. All who try it would not forego Its ad
vantages in future, for'.tenfold its cost. A satisfac
tory experiment can be made with. a single carton
