Important to Our Subscribers,
On account of late advances.in
the prise of paper and other printing
materials, many papers throughout
the country have recently increased
their subscription to TWO DOL
LARS per annum. Instead of fol
lowing their example, however, we
shall only exact our published terms,
which are strictly ONE DOLLAR
AND FIFTY CENTS in advance ;
ONE DOLLAR AND SEVENTY—
FIVE CENTS at the expiration of
six months; TWO DOLLARS with-
in the year; $2.50 after the expire
eon of the year
These terms will be strictly exact
ed from and after December Court,
and those who want to avail them-
selves of our best terms, must do so
by that time. aiii-Let all take notice
of this, as we mean JUST WHAT
WE SAY.

DEMOOBATIO COUNTY MEETING.
A meeting of the Democracy of Greene
county will be held in the Court House at
Waynesbnrg on TUESDAY EVENING
of December Court. Business of unueual
interest and importance to the party will
be transacted.
ON A VISIT.
We neglected, last week, to chronicle
the return to town, on brief furlough, of
Sergeant Ewa; limon of the "Rangers,"
and eon of L. L. Mixon, Esq. Joax H.
McCbsta.sign, eon of Wu. HcCuI.LAND, Sr.,
and a member of the same gallant Com_
pany who was wounded and taken priso
ner in the battles before Richmond, is al
so on a visit to his friends. He was pa
roled by the rebels, and we understand
has not yet been exchanged.
THAT DEMOCRATS PROPOSE TO DO.
On this subject one of our cotetuporaries
has the following sensible reflections:—
The radicals now want to know what
policy Democrats propose. They are like
ly to get the power in Congress, and what
will they do? It is not worth while to
tell the radicals what they do ; it's of no
importance to them. They would not ap
preciate it if they were told. We can ven
ture to assure them that the Democrats
will not do some things. They will not
hang all the Abolitionists just yet, nor
send them to prison without the benefit of
the writ of habeas corpus. They will Lot
stop the radical presses; for the simple rea
son that the more they publish the more
they expose themselves ; the more they
print the more unpopular they become.—
For the same reason Abolitionists will be
encouraged to speak out all their abomi
nations. Indeed, an Abolition Congress
and President are useful in their way.—
They furnish examples to be avoided. If
a party will not do well, the meaner it be
haves the better. The present Congress
has performed its part to perfection. It
has done no good and all the evil in its
power, and showed how much more it
would do if it were able. That was well;
the people understand it, and have put
their asal.of condemnation upon it.
The President, too, gave way to that
pressure, and made his proclamation in
time, to show to what desperate lengths of
radicalism he would go in obedience to
the behests of party.
The Democrats, then, will give all the' ,
radicals rope. They may scribble and
babble, but they can't have office and
power; it coats too much to gratify their
ambition. A monkey will do very well in
some places, but isn't good to keep a
ittitina shop.
•
We can safely sty that Democrats will
,not sacrifice any right of the Federal Gov
, ernment, nor trample on any right of a
• ptate under plea of military necessity or
tiny other plea.
Our system of Government is made up
of the' Federal Constitution and Federal
laws, and State Constitutions and State
laws, all equally sacred in their own
W e ise; and this war is lOr the 'preserva
tion of all :
Again, the. Democratic . . party will have
an abandinee to do for'n. while in clearing
out the nrbuieh and corruptions of the
past two years,
As to the war, they will reiterate its pur
pose, and require all parties to stick to
that parpose.
They Will putdown the rebellion in spite
of the MlD** who will soon begin to op
pose din war , because it doesn't go their
way ;Aid the teak will be the easier
so*, ne the Southern people
'gee 4 ' ey
the Northern people ; that they have
nothing to gain by war, tind nothing to
fear in abandoning the rebellion.
There is no doubt of the effect of the late
elections in the ooutli.
,There are to-day
more Union men in. the South th&n there
have been for the, last twelve months ; a
more cheerful hope of Union; a general
conviction that, the irreprenible conflict is
passed.
In our judocent, the ballot-box, at the
late elections, has struck the hardest blow
that the rebellion has yet felt.
RATHER UNANIMOUS.
The Lazear Cavalry, at Camp Mont
gomery, near Pittsturgh, James Hughes,
Captain, cast the following vote on the

WHAT IT MEANS.—The Albany Argus
concludes an article on the result of the
late elections as follows :
"What is the meaning of this great
Revolution ? It means that the peo
ple believe that the affairs of the
country are placed in the hands of
men incapable of conducting the war
against the seceding States, or ad
ministering the government among
the loyal States—that their counsels
have tended only to lead our armies
to defeat, our treasury to bankrupt
cy, and our county to disruption and
ruin. And they demand a change of
rulers !"
'The National Intelligencer pub
lishes a letter from ex-President Buchanan
in reply to a recent manifesto from Gener
al Scott relative to the defenceless condi
tion in which the Southern forts were
found by the confederates at the opening
of the rebellion. It states facts which ful
ly exculpate Mr. Buchanan from the cen
sure which has been heaped on him in
consequence of the Sonthern forts falling
into the possession of the rebels.
Dar The editor of the New York Times
says, "the people of this State are thorough
ly loyal to the Union and the Constitu
tion. They desire and demand that the
rebellion shall be crushed." That is true,
and it is the reason they have voted down
the editor and his party. And they didn't
believe the editor when he charged that
the Democratic party were disloyal, and
did Lot desire to crush this rebellion.—
They have said plainly to the editor, we
believe you lied wilfully, or under a mis
take.
A DIVIDED Noaru.—The New York
Times laments a divided North. And what
has produced a divided North, let the Al
bany Journal, a Republican paper, answer.
Here are the words: "The more than in
cendiary, the scarcely less than infernal
spirit represented by Mr. Sumner in the
Senate, Wendell Phillips in the forum, and
the Tribunes of the Press, has united the
Southern people, and now threatens to
divide the North."
Mar One of tile Boston Abolitionists hay
ing been drafted, this makes a good com
mencement of Greeley's army. The Port
land Argus says: "Bully for the 900,000.
The number now will stand 800,999, who
rush forth to emancipate, according to the
proclamation."
itirit is said the rebels are suffering for
the want of salt. The Abolitionists have
an abundance of the article—being at the
headwaters of Salt river. We suppose
that they will supply them with salt, as
they have supplied them with everything
necessary to make the rebellion prosper.
serPrentice says the Black Republicans
exult in the appointment of Rosecran over
Buell, but, if the gallant bero of Inka and
Corinth wishes to keep their favor, his
first military movement must be to go
right off and steal a nigger.
iiiir"For several days before the issuing
of ^the emancipation proclamation," says
an exchange, "the President was observed
to be in a brown study." "Yes," retorts
the Louisville Democrat, "in a John
Brown study."
bol4ionism will have its epitaph

Very far from being the least gratifying
among the sundry gratifying results of the re
cent elections, says the Washington Examiner,
is the defeat of the flaming, bellowing, crazy
fanatic, OWEN LOVEJOY, of Illinois, who
is supplanted by a good, sound conservative.—
His district was considered as irredeemably
sunk in Abolitionism as the darkest corner of
Massachusetts.
We may remind our leaders that last year
the opposition party carried the State by 107,-
000 majority. There is the starting point
from which to calculate the extent of the revo
lution. This year we carried the entire State
ticket by majorities of 'about 10,0001—a
sweeping change in the complexion to the ex
tent of 117,000, in one year. We elect eigh
teen out of thirty-one congressmen—a gain of
ten from lust year, and an Abolition loss of
twelve.
Old Abe's native State, (whence he ought to
have had some comfortable intelligence, if from
anywhere,) has literally overwhelmed herself
in a sea of glory ! She has given Democracy
a majority of 15,000—though Lincoln had
11,000, and the Abolitionists the same last
year. We elect ten out of the fourteen con
gressmen—a gain of five, In Old Abe's own
congressional district, Stewart, Democrat, is
elected by 1,200. The Legislature is Demo
cratic in both branches—the Senate by four
majority.— IVashington Examiner.
lowa, at the last Presidential election, gave
Mr. Lincoln 15,398 majority, and last year
elected Gov. Kirkwood, the Republican nomi
nee, by 16,608. At the late election there the
Republicans merely maintained themselves,
and that, too, by the most glaring frauds perpe
trated upon the soldiers in the various camps in
the State.
Wisconsin, which in 1860, gave Mr. Lincoln
21,088 votes over Douglas, and which last year
elected Mr. Harvey Governor by a majority of
8,320, now goes Democratic, and that, too, by
thousands of the popular vote. The first,
fourth and fifth congressional districts give a
majority of about 10,000; which gives us three
members of Congress, (half the number in the
State); the second and third districts give a Re
publican majority of some 1,800, leaving the
sixth district to hear froni. From this it will
be seen that the Democracy of Wisconsin has
done glorious, by bringing their State back'o its
arly love. It is also likely that they have carried
both branches of her Legislature by decisive
majorities.
Michigan, which in 1880 gave Mr. Lincoln
some 28,000 majority, at her election the other
day annihilated that immense vote. The latest
returns front that State look as though the Re
publicans would be in a minority in the Legis
lature. The Senate is reported a tie, which
will secure the defeat of that slanderer and
swell head "Calico ' Chandler for re-election
to the U• S. Senate.
The young State of Minnesota, which in
1860 gave Mr. Lincoln about two-thirds of her
popular vote—or 11,000 majority—we have not
many returns from. One or two Democrats
are reported to be elected to Congress—which,
if true, will carry with them a majority of the
popular vote,

REMOVAL OF GER. MoOLELLAN.
The removal of this gallant and accom
plished officer from the command of the
Army of the Potomac has created an in
tense excitement throughout the country.
We think, with the "Pittsburgh Post,"
that "the army which he lately command
ed, as well as the people generally, will
require very good and substantial reasons
for his decapitation. Whatever may be
the reason, one fact is indisputable ; both
the mass of civilians at home, as well as
the entire army in the field, have unwa
vering confidence in the ability, integrity,
and patriotism of gen. McClellan. This
being the case, the Government, we think,
ought to give the people and the army
satisfactory reasons for Gen. McClellan's
removal. The vague and labored charges
of Gen. Halleck against him will not 'be
sufficient to satisfy an intelligent people ;
and yet we presume that all that can he
argued against Meblellan is contained in
Halleck'a 'elaborate communication. The
complaint' t hoi McClellan did not pursue,
capture or aestroy the rebel army, after
the hard fought battle of Antietam, may
be offsetted by asking Gen. Halleck why
be did not perform like feats at Corinth hy
pursuing, capturing and destroying the
army of liiiiiregard. It is easy and plea

They fought the only regular battle of

The Excitement in the 4roll.
HEADQUARTERS, ARMY POTOMAC, }
WARRENTON, Nov. 9, '62.
The removal of General McClellan
from the command of the army has
occasioned the wildest excitement.—
Officers and men unitein denouncing
the order as an outrage upon the
army, and while they express no ob
jection to Gen. Burnside as an officer,
they protest against the measure
most earnestly. Many have prepared
their resignations, and distinguished
officers of rank assert that they will
no longer serve in the. army if the
order be not rescinded.
Gen. McClellan received the an
nouncement of his removal with per
fect equanimity. He has not been
heard to utter a word of complaint,
nor has he made any allusion to the
bject in the presence of his staff,
other than to mention the surprise
occasioned by the reception of the
despatch. It was equally unexpected
by General Burnside who at first
positively declined to accept the po
sition.
CANADA THISTLE.
A correspondent of the "Cumberland
Presbyterian" over the signature of "Farm•
er," calls upon us for an explanation of
what kind of Thistle, the law, which we
copied into the Messenger a few weeks
ago, is directed against.. We take pleas
ure in answering the question, as it is
one in which our farmer readers generally
are interested.
It is true there is more than one kind
of Thistle mentioned in our Botanical au
thorities, and that all prickly plants are
called by that general name. Beside the
Canada Thistle, there are mentioned in
Botanical works the Spear thistle, the
Milk thistle, the Globe thistle, the Saw
thistle, &c., but we think there is no diffi
culty in deciding that the great pest,
against which our legislators intended to
direct their maledictions, was the well
known thistle so troublesome and so com
mon every where through our country,
and known as the Canada thistle. We do
not wonder at the ire this disgusting and
mischievous weed has expited in our leg
islators. It seems to have been one of
the curses inflicted upon the earth in con
, sequence of the disobedience of our first
parents. In Genesis, 3rd and 13th, we
have this declaration, "thorns and thistles
shall it [the earth] bring forth to thee."—
It has also a historical distinction, in be
ing the national emblem of Scotland.--:
One of our best authorities thus describes
the Canada thistle: "One species of this
Thistle (Cardutts arvensis,) grows in the
fields among the grain, and elsewhere,
and is extremely troublesome to the far
mer. It is called, in America, the Canada
Thistle, as it first appeared in.. Canada,
where it was probably introduced from
France, as it abounds in Normandy and
also in Engtand."
We think our "Farmer" friend need
not be mistaken on the subject of his in
quiry. The common thistle, which re
minds him so sharply of its presence when
his fingers or shins come in cuntact with
it, is the one which the law requires him
to destroy.

THE DISPOSITION OF THE DRAFT
ED MEN-SETTTEMENT OF THE
DIFFICULTY.
A dispatch from Harrisburg, under date
of yesterday, says:—"The difficulty with
regard to the drafted men, and which re
cently threatened to entail serious con
sequences, has been satisfactorily ar
ranged. The late order of the War De
partment, which prevented these men
from organizing into companies and regi
ments, in accordance with the laws of the
State and the prescribed regulations, has
been revoked. Thousands are now re
turning to their various commands, who
had either deserted or refused to assemble
while under the impression they were to
be forced into the old regiments, and_ be
required to serve longer thaa the time for
which they were drafted, The men are
now contented and happy, and are organ
izing rapidly. The Governor is exercising
the most commendable care in his selec
tion of field officers for the regiments com
posed of drafted men. We understand
that no man will be commissioned to a
field position who has not had one year's
actual experience in the field. Application
tinder other circumstances will prove fu
tile." In connection with the above we
might state that the rescinding of the or
der has also given great satisfaction at
"Camp Howe," and a much better feeling
prevails there now than before. The men
had commenced deserting in large num
bers, but now, that the obnoxious order
has been revoked, it ie beiieved that this
will cease. In view of the conclusion ar
rived at by th• Government, Gen. Thomas
has issued the following order :
The officers of Pennsylvania Volunteers,
with their non-commissioned officers, are
relieved from the duties assigned4ena in
the Special Order of the sth inst., and
will immediately join their respective

Our Advance Beyond the Rap
pahannock—Gen. Pleasanton
Skirmishing with the Enemy.
PHILADELPHIA, November 14.—A
special to to-day's Tribune, dated
Warrenton the 13th, says .—Our
front is now beyond the Rappahan
nock, fifteen miles South of this
point. The rebels, reportod to be
Stonewall Jackson's corps, arc in
strong fOrce near our advance.
They drove Pleasanton in four or
five miles on Monday, as they had
heavy infantry supports, while he
had only cavalry and horse artillery.
Ile afterward recovered the
ground, skirmishing as he went.—
Gen. Pleasanton lost five or six kill
ed. His infantry supports skirmish-1
ed briskly with the enemy, driving I
him back two or three miles, and
sleeping on their arms on Monday
night. Up to this morning no re
newal of the fight is reported, but it
may be resumed at any time.
The Lynchburg Republican, of
Monday, says that all the signs indi
cate an early collision between the
contending armies of the Potomac.—
The same paper states that the num
ber of desertions daily from the re
bel army is startling, and that they
are the best class of soldiers. It
adds that the Confederate Govern
ment is fully alive to the magnitude
of the evil, and is enforcing the
death penalty in the case of every
deserter.
The Minnesota Indians not to be
Executed.
On Monday evening President
Lincoln received a telegraphic dis
patch from Gen. Pope, transmitting
the names (most of them jaw-break
ers) of the three hundred Minnesota
Indians condemned by court martial
to be hung for their participation in
the recent horrible Indian massacres
in that State, and requesting his ap
proval of the sentence of the court
martial. The dispatch cost the gov
ernment upwards of four hundred
dollars.
The President immediately tele
graphed General Pipe to have sent
on, by mail, a synopsis of the evi
dence adduced before the court-mar
tial for his inspection.
It is understood that the President
has resolved that such an outrage as
the indiscriminate hanging of these
Indians most certainly would be,
shall not take place, but will confirm
the sentence of the court, so far as
inflicting punishment upon the guil
ty is concerned.
