Dease, of Capt Stroud's Cavalry, of Philadelpnia, was shot through the head with ball and in several parts of the body, with buckshot and instantly killed, near the house o Jacob Miller, in Price tsp., this County, on the 5th inst. IIo was there with oth ers for the purpose of arresting deserters and serving notces on drafted men. The deceased is spoken of as being a respecta ble young man. The cowardly murderer was secreted in the bushes near the road Such acts are deserving of the severest condemnation by every man, and they must cease, or terrible will be the consequences-to the guilty parties and their assistants. The laws must be enforced ; and it will-prove to be far better to sub mit at once than to resist. Particulars next week. Keep it in Mind. Reader when you go to vote on Tues day next, keep it in mind, that while Phil. Johnson, the candidate of the Peace upon-any-tenns party for Congress is a round stumping and swigging Lager, &c, for re-election, Col. Selfridge, the Union Candidate, is in the tented field, fighting maufully for the restoration of the Union, the Constitution and the Laws. A Good Man. In Win. II. Stroh, the Union Candi date for Representative, the people have a chance to vote for one who has all his life time kept step to the music of the t'nion. Who can hesitate to vote for him, when in his opponent, Peter Gil bert, we have a candidate nominated on a platform, which has no word of fault to find with rebels and rebellion, but whose every word is a word of condemnation of our own Government! Arrested. Milo D. Overfield, of Middle Smith field, was arrested as a deserter on Wed nesday morning, and taken to Honesdale, where the board of Enrollment is now in session. Mr. Overfield, was drafted some time since and neglected to respond to the call served upon him, and hence has come to grief. Those of our citizens who have elected to follow Mr. O's, example, and still persist in doing so, will yet, like him, when too late, experience the folly of their course. The Campaign. The campaign is waxing fast and furi ous. The politicians are "going on like mad," and between mass mettings, big transparencies, brass bands and torch light processions, quiet citizens are driv en almost beside themselves. They have still one consolation left, to wit: that they can slip quietly off and procure for them selves new, elegant and comfortable out fits at Pyle's Easton Hall of Fashion, op posite the old Easton Bank. Mr. Blowers's Letter. We hope every reader will peruse. Eli jah Blowers' letter in another column. Mr. B. is a life-long Democrat, and has often represented Tunkhannock township in the Conventions of the party. lie has always been uubehdingly wedded to what his honeat convictions told him was right, and we do cot marvel now to find him on the side of the Union. Such Democrats cannot support treason, no matter how temptingly sugaixcoated. The Union Meeting. The Union meeting at the Court House, on last Thursday evening, the 29th ult., was a decided success in .every respect. The house was well filled at an early hour with ladies and gentlemen, all of whom The base, groundless charge of thereb manifested the utmost appreciation and el sympathizers, that the North, or any enthusiasm. The meeting was organized portion of it, is responsible for the war, as follows : President, Dr. S. Walton ; was fully answered by reading a p'ortion Vice Presidents, F. Kiser and J. W. of the speech made by Alexander H. Ste Shoemaker; Ed. L. Wolf, Secretary. vens, the rebel Vice President, arid one A word as to the orator's histoy : Col. of the ablest men in the Confederacy, Walter Ilarriman, the eloquent speaker to the Georgia State Convention, held on the occasion, has held various posts ol honor and trust at the hands ot his JJemo- cratic friends. lie has served in both branches of the Legislature otiNewliamp- shire : held the office of State Treasurer: aud was appointed Appraiser of Public ij . it- u p;rpfl muu.iu u ; Hitherto the Col. nas made it a regular business in Presidential seasons to stump throughout the Eastern and Western Stntfis in favor of the Demnnrnnv. At. !,- l,,!-; nf nf tl, in; . came editor of a paper called the Weekly union, puonsnea at Manchester, xM. 11., which he ably edited in favor of the War for the Union, for the space 18 months ; a. on loco t -i j t when Aug. 26, 1862, unsolicited on his part, the Governor of his State sent him a commissiotras Col. of the 11th Reg., a new regiment which he was expected to recruit. He issued his call for recruits. and in less than three weeks, over twen- ty-two. hundred men responded, the re- mainder of whom were transferred to re- giments previously ordered. In a few days they were off to the field, and direct- ly after had a taste of war in the Freder- icksbunr fi?ht under Biirnside. where he a a j lost over two hundred men. At the Governor's election in NT. H. in 1SG3, he run as a War Democrat for that office, which resulted in the defeat of Eastman, the Pierce Copperhead, and in the election of Gilmorc, the Union candi- date. He has served in both the Western and Eastern Departments; and was takeu . prisoner on the 6th of May last, in the Wilderness battle, and was exchanged on the 4th of Aug. last. For 52 days he had the peculiarly exhilerating pleasure of beinc under fire of our own runs in vj o Charleston. During this time he finish- ed reading the New Testament which he had commenced reading 12 davs before at Macon. He is now on furlough and liable to be ordered front any day, but it is more than probable he will not be very soon, as it is specially desirable that his powerful battery against Copperheads should not cease firing until after the 8th of next November.

What fplly, what extreme bypoc- risy in the Copperheads to ask for the traitors what they know they will not re- ceive. They well know that the rebels must be whipped, or the Union be dis- solved.

Whafc of the South has been invaded ? What justice has been denied ? I .challenge the answer." &c, &c. The speaker was fully impressed with tbc belief that the rebellion was fast tot- tering to its fall. The strong rebel mili tary positions are rapidly falling into our hands ; their territory is being curtailed their sources of supply are, to a great ex tent, already cut off, and will soon be en tjrely severed. The rebel forces were not i as large as we generally thought they were Grant has the rebellion by the throat and is about ready to shut off the wind and the speaker should not be surprised if he did so before election, and if he did the votes for McClellan would be so scat tering that they would hardly be counted Rut the Copperhead Democracy seeing I . i r ..i ii leir incnds going to tne wall, scream out in their ardent sympathy, let the war be stopped ! "Let us have an armistice,' And why do they waut a suspension hostilities ? For no other purpose than for saving their frieuds from defeat i Were hostilities to cease for three or six mouths, the rebels would recuperate their lst powers ; and foreign nations would acknowledge their independence ; and our own people would be exceeding loth to em bark again into a terrible war which would thu,s bave resulted in nothing not even to save our country from dissolution and in this way, through the instrumen tality of the Copperheads, would the Reb uuuuiry ue ruineu. j.nere is no otuer ..... . . , wa?

The speaker had had both an inside and outside view of the war: he had talked t0 ?ebels n .the otlier side of the lincs as well as to their sympathizers on this side; and he was fullv convinced that nnthintr could save the countrv from the most dreadful calamities but a total aud crush- ,nS defeat of the armed rebels below the "ac ana tneir cowardly sympathizers Thespeaker concluded by declaring that the signs were propitious, that light was shining, victory dawning, and soon our sorelJ distracted country would be restored Pewi sweet, ana prosperity most tJ tben and thug claim thJe glorioug vi(J. tory as his own.

After Col. Harriman had concluded he claimed the privilege of listening to some other speaker, and called upon Wm. Da vis S1- Mr D., after some hesitation induced by the fact that he was called up- on to succeed so able and eloquent a chain pion of the Union and its cause, procec- ded to draw a comparison between the Professions of the pretended Democracy auu cu uiuutiuua. xu tue course or ins speech h d conclutjivel to the DJ;nd 0f every man. not bound bv a blinding i . mi n pretended to be opposed to restriction of , m 01 T , , Uie L reS3ry campaign tne very man who. as commander - in - chief of our armies, first ga?fi his assent to the exercise of that re- striction that though they were opposed exercise ot tne dratt tney were now csiubbi v u uiuif iue ciectiou oi uie same General McClellan who, from his position nead ot.thearmy Demg best qualified to iudee,-was;.the first to urge a draft as.a military necessity for the suppression of the rebelhonr that thoughithey bated ar bitrary arrests above all things, they were reallv shoutincr hosannas to Little Mao, the very father of these arrests, and who exercised the power, not for the sqnelch- of a single traitor, but for the arrest ot an entire sovereign legislature. But want of room prevents us, from giving further no tice of Mr. Dayis's admirable speech. The manner in which it was received must have convinced him that it is not friendship alone which induced us to speak of his efforts in the campaign as we' do. There is an earnestness of manner, and an unanswerableness of argument per vading them which precludes the nossi- bility of our speaking slightly of them. We can but regret that they are not re peatedly heard in every part of our coun ty and District. At the conclusion of Mr Davis's speech the meeting adjourned with three times three for the Union, its cause, its heroes, its candidates and the ladic3. Arrival of Cavalry. Capt. Stroud's Independent Rail Road Troop, arrived here on Monday last, for the purpose of assisting in the enforce ment of the recent draft. This Compa uy has seen hard service, but the men ap pear as lively as crickots, and fully bent upon doing their duty in the work before them. During the last raid of the rebels in Pennsylvania, they were in the neigh borhood of Chambersburg, and earned an enviable reputation for the heroic mur i . i 111.1 ii mer in wuicn tney nciu tne reoeis in check, until they were overpowered by numbers. Both officers and men demean themselves with gentlemanly deportment, and have already won for themselves the respect of our citizens. The officers of the company arc, George D. Stroud, Capt. Aubrey Henry, 1st Lt. W. J. Smith, 2nd Lt. The Company numbers 94 men. Some thirty of the men under proper officers left yesterday morning for Honesdale. The troop with two or three exceptions are for Lincoln & Johnson and the Union. J&sjT Gen. Dix found time to make speech six sentences long in Sandusky, 0., on the evening of the 26th, which should knock McClellauism out of any town, in which politics arc influenced by the opinions and example of men of note aud worth. The General had been sere naded. He came out from his room aud said to the crowd : "Fellow Citizens: As I arrived late here to-night, and am engaged in public Dusmess, and depart at an early hour in the morning, I know you will excuse me it 1 limit what 1 have to say to a few words. "I will say one thing, however, upon a question in wnicn every loyal man is most deeply interested the rebellion. It has been my conviction from the first, that there could be no peace until the Rebel armies were dispersed and the leaders of the Rebellion expelled from the country. Loud chcers.l I believe that the cessation of hostilities would lead to a recognition of the Confederacy: and I need not tell you that I never could assent to an armistice of which the Chi cago Platform is the basis. Rcuewed cheering and applause.! I have faith only in a steady, unceasing, unremitting prosecution ot the war Lreat applause, and i deiieve this will meet the judg ment of every thinking man. "Once more thanking you for vour kind expression of feeling, I bid you good night." The Rebellion Engineered by Democrats. Look at the Rebell ion from beginning to end, and you will find that it has been en gineered by Democrats. You cannot forget that James Buchanan, a Democrat, was Pres ident, surrounded by a Democratic Cabinet while tho Rebellion was allowed to organize and to gather strengh without interruption Wherever you look now in the Rebellion there you find the old Democracy, into which is absorbed John Bell and his followers, ar rayed against their country. Look at individuals: you will find that the arger half, constituting the controlling pow er of the old Democratic party, is now in arms against their country. Look at States; you will find that all now in rebellion were, at its outbreak, Democratic States. It is natural that the Northern associates and allies of these Rebels should be engaged in devising apologies for rebellion. In all this vast Union, whether the Union as it was or the Union as it is there is not a single Republican in arms against the Government, or sympathizing with those who are. There is not a traitor among them. Here is a distinction between the two parties, which is as broad as the space between earth and Heaven.

ForTheJejfersonian. Camp in tho Breastworks, ") Set. 27, 1864. : Mr. Editor: Having seen in the Mon roe Democrat of the 15th? inst., a commu nication from a member' of Co. G. 142nd Regt. P. V. touching the political com plexion of the company, I think it but justice to myself, and also to the compa ny, to state a few facts, on the subject The writer of that article says that he I has just returned from Washington. This is true ; but he did not tell the whole truth, and that is that he spent some fit teen months in that city, that he went there an Orderly Sergeant, and that he has just returned to the ranks, a private. He tells the truth, too, when he says that he found the boys all in good spirits, but he wanders far from it when he says that he found them all hoping that little Mac would be elected President; in November. He knew that he was falsifying the facts when he penned that assertion. So far as the company is concerned, I think the men stand, politically, as yet, about half and half, but there is no doubt that the election will find a handsome majority for Old Abe. In the company on our right Co. K., I do not know a single man who i w will vote for Mac, and I have taken some pains to inquire As to the settling of Petersburg and Richmond, permit mc to say that the Ar my has the fullest confidence in all our Generals, and that Grant will do all in these particulars that is expected of him no one here, who really loves the cause, for a moment doubts. But, says the wri ter in the Democrat, "after that we want Little Mac," President." We want no such thing, aud the writer knows it. But why wait until after Richmond or Petersburgg or both are captured ' He further savs "In nearly all the papers we get, we hear Little Mac run down." Does this look as though nearly all the soldiers were going to vote for the Chicago bantling. I should think not Soldiers are allowed to get just such pa pers from home as they desire, or as their friends choose to sond them. Would it be at all likely that ii they intended to vote for Little Mac, they would encour age the receipt of such papers only as op pose and run him down? But, the wri ter says he has good opportunities of find ing out. I should think he had. His Division must have been the one he tarried with so long in Washington, when he speaks of it as the Division three fourths of whose members will vote for him. I cannot exactly understand whether he means himself or Little Mac. He also says "you may take that as a crite rian by which to judge the whole array." He must consider himself the whole Di vision, indeed the whole army, or he nev er could say what he has said. And then, too, he has "noticed it in many of the Hospitals in Washington." I am sure it was not in the Hospitals in the field. By the way what was he doing in so many hospitlas? Again in his letter he says, "They are taking the names ot the men who will vote for Lincoln, and publishing them ; "and that he knows to a certainty that one half, if not more, of the men say they will vote for Old Abe merely to et a furlough, and that when they come to deposit their votes, they will vote for Little Mac, for he has heard them make their brag3 of it. If the Government would be guilty of such a piece of folly as sending men home to vote, I do not doubt that there are men, or things who would do as he says, nor have I the shad ow of a doubt but that the writer in the Democrat would be one of those very men. But the Government, in tho pres ent condition of affairs will not send men homo to vote, no matter what they prom ise, and I am happy to know that, hence, such rogues -as are alluded to will, for once, at least, be kept honest and truth ful. I believe there can be no doubt as to the result of tho Tote in the army. When I take into consideration tho fact that the 90,000 McClellanites of Pennsylva nia voted, to a man, against granting the soldier the freoman's privilege of voting, and this in connection with their nomin ation of Pendleton for the Vice Presiden cythe man who has yet to cast the first vote for the suppression of this rebellion, or to relieve tho necessities of the soldier in the field, and whose whole course-has had a tendency only to give aid to the rebels I cannot see how they can put on brass enough to ask us to vote for them Truly such men ought not look for a fa vor from a soldier. But traitors and cop perheads can do almost anything. As to the platform upon which Little Mac stands, it might better have been mad at Richmond. It is but the South-side view of the war, without even the merit of northern originality; and Jeff. Davis could readily have signed it without oven a rebel compunction- of conscience. But I have already made my letter too long. I have never, Mr. Editor, voted the Republican ticket in my life, and I am now forty-three years old; but when I see traitors, pretending to be Democrats, try ing to divide this blessed Union, and when there are so. many 'Democrats at the North to help them, I think it high time to pause and try to save our beloved country. I am perfectly well satisfied that the only safe and sure way to accom plish so good a work is to re-elect honest Abe for another term. Yours truly, ELIJAH BLOWERS, ' An old Union Democrat. The Democrats and the Confedrates, Such statements as the following, from the Richmond Examiner of the 8th inst., cannot be kept too steadily before the Northern public : "We, in defending our own rights and homes, are perforce working in the cause of the opposition. Every defeat of Lincoln?s forces, even holding them steadily at bay, in ures to the advantage of McClellan. The influence of the South, more powerful in the shock of battle " than when throwing her minority vote in an electoral college, will be cast in favor of McClellan by this indirect yet efficacious means." The Charleston Courier, a leading organ of the South, in its issue of the 7th ult., ex patiates on the mutual connection between the Rebels and the northern democracy, in the same vein, viz : "All of us perceive the intimate concc tion existing between the armiesofthe Con federacy and the peace men in the United States. These constitute two immense for ces that are working together for the pro curement of peace. The party whose no mination and platform we are considering, are altogether dependent for success on the courage and resolution of our fighting-men. If their generalship, .sagacity, valor, and vigilance are unable to obtain victories, and to arrest the progress of the invading hordes, the existing Administration will laugh to scorn all the efforts of the Opposition, and, in spite of the most powerful combinations, will continue to hold the places they occupy. Our success in battle insures the succc?: of McClellan. Our failure will inevitably lead to his defeat." c The Congressional Hcminees. Wheu the Uuion party put forth the name of Col. James L. Selfridge as a candidate for our representation in the next session of the National Congress, they conferred not only a merited com pliment upon a gallant and conscientious soldier, but threw down the gage to measure public estimation as between the merits of a staunch and active loyalist and those of a non combatant, who in tho security of a legislative position has struggled to hamper and paralyze the ef ficiency of our defenders. Comparison between the nominees is as "Hyperion to a Satyr." The one, at the first sound of the alarming tocsin, rushed to the armed succor of our com mon mother and has steadily persevered, sword in hand, in his task of mainiaining our national integrity. Against the bay onets of rebellious foes he has bared his naked breast and offered his life-blood, if need bee, as a sacrifice to his patriotic resolution. IIow different the selfish policy of hie opponent Philip Johnson who in de fiance of the nation's unanimous will lost to the faintest promtiugs of chivah-ic sympathy, has abused a legislative trust to comfort the enemies of his country, the invaders of the very State he preten ded to represent, the felonious pillagers and inceudiaries who have polluted the soil of the Penusylvaniau Commonwealth. t e leave it to the independent voters of this district to decide which is the bet ter entitled to their suffrages the loyal soldier whose sword would exterminate the marauders of Chambersburg. or tho semi-traitorous politician, anoloirist for their vandalism. XortJicm Eanlc. Democratic Landmarks. A few of the more eminent citizens nf our State who opposed Mr. Lincoln's e- lection in lbOO, but now heartily support his rc-eleccion, aro these : DANIEL S.

Hassaurcck, overflowing with scorn of the duplicity and troasonableness of" Mc Clellan's position on the two opposing; Platforms, said : "What a self-contradictory and dishon est position it would be to stand as a war candidate on a peace platform a war kite with a Vice-Presidential peace tail attached to it ! Suoh a position reminds us of those old Scotch houses during the revolution of tho 17th centurv. in whinh father and son always took opposite sides, so that whatever party might succeed, the family property should not bo confis cated.
