Democrat, wlio enlists is an Abolitionist or
fool J"' and adds :
''If this war is to bo prosecuted beyond
the year 1801, we much pvelcr that Abra
ham Lincoln shnll have the privilege and
pleasure of doing so. Ucforo we consent to
support any man who is in favor of the
prosi cution of this wur, we shall prefer to
consign our establishment to the flames."
The Chicago platform calls for an imme
diate cessation of hostilities, and the Rich
mond FxamiiKT, says :
"Pave on our own terms, we cnn'acccpt
no peace wlintevcrand must fight till dooms
day rather than yield one iota to them."
"The North must yield all the South no
thing." "Wc shall mako no peace till wo
are in a position not only to demand and
exact, but ulso to enforce and collect trea
sures for our own reimbursement out of the
wealthy cities of tho North."
"As surely as wo triumph, so surely will
we make tho North pay our war debt,
though we wring it out of their hearts."
E&"Tbe Selinsgrove hero declares lie
would sooner have his own establishment
"consigned to tho flumc9," than to have his
Southern brethren injured by Yankee, guns.
Gen. McClellan, however, declares the Union
must be preserved, by force if necessary.
Now lure is "a conflict'' of opinion, and un
less tho General surrenders there will be a

wc imagine we can already see the t?c

kiT" Tub Election ov GEO. F. MILLER
a Fjxld Fact. Tho nomination of Geo. F.
Miller, the Union candidate for Congress,
is well received in every county in the dis
trict. That fact alone, is all that is neces
sary to convince, the most incredulous that
his election is a fixed fact, His opponent,
Ym. II. Miller, of Dauphin, seems conscious
of this, and heucc is not over anxious for
the nomination. But he must tako it
somebody must bo the standard bearer, even
in a hopeless contest. Win. II. Miller's
election, two years ago, was tuo result ot a
division in the party in Dauphin & Junintta.
There is no division now, and besides, Geo.
F. Miller will be supported by a number of
democrats. Ilia majority in his own county,
it is conceded, will uot bo less than one thou
Eauu. In Dauphin and Snyder it will be 1500
more, while Northumberland & Juniattacan
not give his opponent more than 1000, which
will elect the Union candidate by 1500.
13?" The decline in gold has already cf"
ftcted the fall in the prices of many of the
necessaries of life. Butter has declined 15
to 20 cents per pound in Philadelphia, and
about the same at Harrisburs. Wheat.
Hour, and other provisions have also sub
mitted to a small decline. In coal, there has
been a considerable decline in the cities,
from the fabulous prices that i'. has main
tained tho past six months. The cause
usMgned is, that tho government demand
has fallen otT.
1'ittnl Itiiilroud Accidmt.
About four o'clock yesterday morning a
most fearful coltision occurred on the Penn
sylvania Railroad, near Thompsontown sta
tion, about thirty-eight miles west of this
city. What is called tho Fast Freight had
reached Thompsontown running behind its
schedule time, with a full knowledgo of the
fact that the fast line from the West momen
tarily expected at that station. The freight
train had hardly stopped, and the llagmnn
bad scarcely reached the end of the train to
unfurl Ids signal, when tho fast line from
tho West came thundering along. The en
gineer of the latter train was running on his
own time, calculating, of course, that the
road was clear, and from the fact that this
train not stopping at Thompsontown, the
reader can imagine tho fearfulness of the
collision when it occurred. The engineer
of the fast line bad but a moment to observe
the flagman of the fast freight, when he im
mediately put on his patent brakes and re
vciscd his machinery, coolly and courageous
ly remaining lit his post on the engine, there
tit do what lie could to diminish the awful
destruction by which he was so suddenly
confronted.
The effect of the collision was terrific.
The baggage and three passenger cars of the
fast lino were literally smashed together. At
once a scene of fearful confusion, intense ex
citement and heart-rending suffering ensued.
One of tho passenger cars, containing some
thirty passengers, was discovered to be on
lire. Those in charge of the trains, with the
passengers who were not injured, inado every
effort to rescue the unfortunates in the burn
ing car. The breaksman, (L. Imbrie.) and
the conductor, (John Mullison.) who were on
too platform ot tho cars, supposed to have
been there in answer to the signal of the en
gineer, to assist in stopping the train, were
literally smashed together, and then almost
entirely consumed, their charred remains
mingling, as it were, in a common crisp.
Soniii of the passengers say that HO passen
gers were killed, but this is denied. Six of
the dead bodies an ived at Ilarrisburg. The
through mail was destroyed and a great por
tion ol the baggage.
If?" The Now York Daily News of the
10th takes bold and open ground against
the letter of General McClellan, and declares
that it cannot find it possible to support
him. aud calls fur tho reassembling of tho
Chicago Convention. It says :
"The Democracy miut seek a candidate
ho ifiV stand upon the platform, for they
cannot l ousi.-tt'inly support one w ho U in
collision wuh tlm Convention that tendered
him tho nomination. If the platform ac
cords tint with the nominee conviction of

They occupied Martinsburg fur n short i
time ithout iloinii any uamHec to tho rail
road, aud wero eventually driven by Avercll
as far as Darksville.
General Sheridan learning of their move
ments, ordered his whole command to break
camp and prepare to march. Accordingly,
at 3 o'clock on Sunday, tho tents wero all
struck and packed iu lli wagons, and the
inherent division wero all under arms and
prepared to move at a moments notice.
l'hey remained in this state for about an
hour, when the order cainu to go into camp
for tho night, and everything remained
perfectly quiet.
About nine o'clock orders were received
from General Sheridan for tho Sixth and
Nintccnth Corps to be ready to start at
three o'clock, and tho Army of Western
Virginia, under General Crook, at hve
o'clock tho following morning the order
of march to be as follows : Sixth Corps to
move out on the Berry villo ntul Winchester
road, and move in two parallel columns on
uot n sides ot ttie road, wun artillery, ammu
nition and tupply trains on the same road;
tlio JNintecntu Corps to follow on the same
and in similar order. The Army of West
ern Virginia, under Crook, to move from its
camping grouud in the vicinity of Summit
i'oint, and, striking across the country in
southwesterly direction, was ordered to form
a junction at the crossing of the Opcquan on
tuo lierryville and Winchester pike.
Shortly after five o'clock, Wilson's Divl
sion of Cavalry crossed the Opcquan, at
lierryville, on tuo Winchester pike, moving
his command rapidly along the road, and
driving tho enemy's skirmish line, gallantly
charged their works with his first brigade,
and carried them at the point ot the sabre,
capturing thirty prisoners.
In this charge. Colonel Brinton, of the
Eleventh Pennsylvania Cavalry, was wound
ed within a tew feet ot the enemy worKs,
whilst callantly leading his regununt.
These lield works were constructed by the
Rebels to guard tho fords ot the Opequan.
and to prevent our passage at this point

on ttie opposito side ot the stream, at
point about a mile and a halt distant lrom
the tord, where it termed in lino ot battle.
aud threw out a strong skirmish line. At
the same time the artillery opened on the
woods, into which tho enemy's iufantry had
retired, and kept up an incessent cannonade,
the enemy replying briskly' with parts of
two batteries.
There was a delay of at least two hours,
caused by the non-arrival of the Nintcenth
Corps ; who, through a misunderstanding of
orders, failed to come up at tho proper time?
General Emory had moved his column in
the rear of the baggage train of tho Sixth
Corps instead of keeping his cominaud
closed up in the rear of this advancing col
umn of tlkj Sixth Corps.
Sheridan, having learned on Sunday that
tho main portion of Early's forces were en
camped in the vicinity of Bunker Hill and
Stephenson's Depot, resolved to mass his
forces on tho Winchester and Berryville
pike, and by a rapid movement hurl them
on Early's rear. No doubt but tho enemy
wero completely surprised aud outmanoeu
vred by General Sheridan.
Wl.ilut )i.i . U IV.., .., -! I, ti,t,a u'l.rn lir.inrr
marched to the appointed place of rendez-1
vous, a portion of the cavalry under Tor
bert and Avercll. kent mi a Strom uickct
line along the Opequan, and by demonstrat-
ing in force at Burn's Ford, kept a large
portion of the enemy at tliat part of the
lield, which vas twelve miles distant from
the point where it was intended our infantry
should operate anil strike tho blow which
should result iu tho signal defeat of Early's
army.
Delay in the arrival of the Ninteuth Oorpg
enabled Early to move Gordon' Division
at double quick from Bunker Hill, distant
about ten miles, and bring it up ia time to
form in line of battle with Breckinridge's,
Ransom's and Rhodes' commands, w ho had
ulready arrived and were funned ia a belt
of woods skirting the Berryville and 'W in
chester pike.
As soon as tho Nintccnth Corps arrived it
was formed in four lines of battle, about
three hundred yards apart, ou the right of
the Sixth Corps, and everything being in
rcaetiuess the aavance was soutuica ai aoouc i
twelve o'clock, and the different lines moved i
forward. The two corps advanced in splen
did style, and just as composedly as though
marching at a review or a parade, drums '
lending and colors flying, presenting such
un imposing spectacle as bus seldom been j
witnessed in the present war. In fact some i
of the oldest and most experienced stall'
officers present declared they had never
before witnessed so truely grand a spectacle.
The first line had uot advanced more than
two hundreed yards before it became warmly
engaged Willi tlio enemy, wno wero posteil
in a hue about six luuulred yards distant.
At tho same timo our artillery opened a furi
ous cannonade, throwing shells and solid
shot into tho opposite woods, where the
enemy could be seen moving up reinforce
ments. Our different lines of bitttlo continued to
advance steadily until they had approached
within nearly two bundled yards of tho
enemy's line, when the Rebels opened a
furious cannonade w ith grape and caunister
from two batteries, which they had previous
ly kept secreted nnd which ploughed
through our advancing lines, moving dowu
a largo number of our men.
Tho first line wus obliged to give way
under so murderous a tire, and iu retreating
beyond tho second lino threw it into mo
mentary confusion, and it was also obliged
to full back Uliind tho third line, which
had in the meantime- been ohligml to lay
dow n if order to avoid a much as possible
the effects of tho w ithering fire w hich the
enemy's batteries wero directing against our
advancing lines.
Our artillery was now brought up and
posted in commanding position to alienee
these batteries of the enemy which had
caused us so much annoyance, and our line
was reformed and again moved forwurd, re;
f tabling tho advanced position, which they
lad held when they wero obliged to fall
back. But this success was not gained
without moJt olitiiatort'iUnce on tin: purl
of tho enemy.
Ciein itd Hicriduii had previously ridden
along tht lines, and was received every
w hero by iho men with tho gleutc.t tlilliu
insiu; and when they advanced it wa with
Icrrihlu determination "lo do or die Iu tho
attempt."
Having nuained tho advanced position
which un had previously occupied, iho dif

my's infantry and cavalry, and having been
successful in steadily driving tin ni before
them, now arrived ou our extreme right
and were prepared to tako part in the final
struggle which secured us the victory.
General Sheridan rode out to where Ucn.
Turbiirt was stationed; and after consulta
tion w ith him as to the part the cavalry
wero to take, ordered a final charge, which
was made with un imuetuosilv which noth
ing could resist.
Our lino, extending nearly three miles in
length, advanced amid cheering and yells,
which could be distinctly beard far above
the noise inado by the thunder of artillery
ana continuous roar of musketry, which for
impetuosity has seldom been execded in any
battle of this war.
Oor men bod determined to win tho day
and nerved tbemsclvet accordingly for the
coming etrnggle, and as our lines advanced
closer and closer to those of the enemy, the
battle became more and more fierce, uuld in
point of desperate and fierce curnnge it
would compare tuvorubly with any similar
contest of this war The ilaiichter now
was truly awful, and at every discharge
men were distinctly seen to drop all around,
and the two contending lines at some points
could not bave been over two hundred yards
apart.
Just at this critical period, above the roar
of artillery and musketry, and the cheers
and fierce yells of the contending armies,
could be distintly heard the shrill notes of
cavalry bugles sounding a charge, which
was the death knell of Early's army. I here
could be see the gallant Custer and Merritt,
each with his head-quarters' flag in hand,
and conspicuous among the advaucing
squadrons, gallantly leading his charge,
which, in connection with the desperate
courage displayed by our infantry, secured
us tho victory.
All honor to theso gallant chiefs who
have doneo nobly.
Those who havo never witnessed a cavalry
charge can form no idea of its magnificence,
not of its demoralizing ell'ect, wheu well ex
ecuted upon an enemy.
The stubborn columns of Early's command
were forced to give way anil break before
the fierce onslaught which our cavalry made
upon them, who, with saber in hand, rode
them down, cutting them right and left,
capturing seven hundred ond twenty-one
privates and non-commissioned ollicers, with
nine battlo-flaiis and two guns. Tho broken
and demoralized divisions comprising Ear
ly s command now lied in contusion, throw
ing away everything which could in any
way impede their flight, aud strewing the
ground with their arms.
Some made for the heights beyond Win
chester, but they were speedily dislodged by
Averill, and lorced to beat a hasty ami ig-
nominotis retreat up tlio valley, where sucli
of Early's command as arc left him are now
scattered.
Our victory was a glorious one, and one
well calculated to shrill tho heart of every
loyal man with impulses of sincere joy, but
it has been well remarked, that every joy
lias its attending amount ot sorrow," and
ours was for the gallant dead aud wounded
who poured out their life's blood freely
that this great and iniquitous rebellion
should be imt down.
Amongst the killed I regret to announce
the gallant Russell, ot therrst Oivision
Corps, a commander ns faultless as it was
possible for a man to be. Bravo unto rash
r.ess, he fell at the post of honor at the head
ot his division w hile leading a charge.

General Upton, commanding a divison of

Of the fluid and line officers I have been
abW to collect a few names who were killed
and wounded.
Amongst them are Colonel Babcock,
Seveuty-tiflh New York, wounded.
Colonel E. Bright. One-hundred-and-twenty-sixth

Captain Wright of General Devin's start-,

It is imioshiblo ut tho time ol writing
this dispatch to form any correct estimate
of our killed anil wounded, but from informa
tion at hand, together w ith personal observa

ceed 500 killed and 2.jOO wounded, if it
amounts to that number.
Surely I an correct iu stating that this
has been one. of the most sanguinary and
decisive buttles of the w ar, and rellect great
credit on Sheridan, who was constantly at
the fiont, exposing himself to the lire of the
enemy's sharp-shooters, and personally di
recting the movements of our uriny.

affairs on tho Rio Grande. On tho morning
of the (Jth tho French marched out of Hug-
dad with a force estimated at five tliouand, ,
and oomtneuced the ascent of the Rio Grande j
tbr the ournose ot attacking Mataiiionw.
i'bo march wns uninterrupted until they
reached a point opposite the Width Branch,
w here they met Cortinat with the Mexican
force prepared to contest their approach.
A terrilio artillery duel ensued, wucu me
French were compelled to fall back in con
fusion, closely followed for three miles,
w heu coming to a chaparral they made a
stand.
Cortinas opened on the Imperial force
with shot and shell and while engaged at
this point tho Rebel commander at Browns
ville, Colonel Ford, camo down on the Tex
as side of tho Rio Grande with a lurge drove
of cattle for the French, and the seeing the
Confederacy's friends engaged with Cortin
as he promptly espoused their cause and
opened on the Mexican rear.
In the meantime Cortinas succeeded in
putting the Imperialists to tight, and drove
them to Bocadol Rio, where he shelled
them. As his artillery could not complete
with their heavy ordnance on shipboard he
withdrew his forces to White Ranee, and
crossed five hundred men to Texas, where
they lay on their arms during the night of
the (ith, by tnc side ot ttie American troops.
No sooner has Continas crossed the luo
Grando than lie lowered the flag oi his
country, white, red and green, and hoisted
tlio stars and stripes, wine was greeted witn
enthusiastic cheers by the Mexican soldiers
as well as tho American.
Ou tho 9th Cortinas followed Ford to the
old battle-field of Resaca do hi Pal in a, where
ho recruited his troops tor tho night, while
Jrora tell bacK to lirowsvillo.
Cortinas in the meantime had dispatched
a courier to Matamoros to order the forces
there to prepare to move immediately, and
early on tho morning of the 8th five hun
dred Mexicans moved up the Rio Grande
crossed tlio river, and camo down on the
lexas side, attacking Ciownsvillo siniul
taucuusly with Cortinas.
Tho struggle for Brownsville wns brief
and resulted in tho defeat of the Rebels,
who were driven from the town, when Cor
tinas took possession. The rebels retreated
so hastily that they left their "rags" float
ing on the Court House and other public
buildings; but they wero soon torn down,
and the Stars and Stripes hoisted amid the
shouts of the citizens and Mexican soldiers
who weio almost as proud of tl.e "starrv
banner" as our bravo buys.
Caiuo, Sept. l!. Tho War E.ujle has a
despatch from New Orleans, of lliu HUh.
stating that a number of vessels u hich sailed
from that port for Matamoros, with cargoes
intended lor Cortinas or the general market,
were seized by tlio French at the iiioulh of
tho Rio Grande.

New Oki.KAXS, Sept. 1!), via Cairo, Sept.
19. There is much dispute over the Mexi
can news, and it is not generally believed;
but some who should kuow assert positive
ly that it is true.
Cortinas is said to be st'Jl in Fort Brown,
with nineteen guns beat ing ou M.itainnros.
Colonels Ford's Rebel Cavalry are en
camped ten miles up the Hio Grande.
The Frcncii had moved out two miles
from Bagdad.
The news from Atlanta produces a great
despondency among the Rebels, and corres
ponding joy among the loyal people.
Hood's army is reported through loyal
sources to be greatly deini raii.ieil. All the
Iruius-Mississippi Ribel army, with the ex
ception ol Uilckners Brigade has moved up i

The expected attack of the enemy on Mon

hours.
A number of deserters come iu every day,

of that place.
"The result of all our 111411111 ca on this
