The Meeting at the Willow
The Meeting at the Willow Tree on Sat
urday leat was largely attended, and was
in occasion of much interest. The speech
of Gen. Lamar surprised even his friends.
It was some two hours long, and was one
of the best speeches we have heard in the e,
county. It commanded close attention,
aid was not only an able vindication of
his own couree in Congress. but of the
course of the party. He discussed all the
leading measures of the Administration, I
and made a startling exhibit of the real
condition of the finances of the country,
dwelling at considerable length on the
enormous debt we were piling up, on the
burthensome taxation in store for the peo
ple, and on the extravagance and improv
ident* of the party in power. We only
wit% all his constituents could have beard
thie convincing and vigorously sensible
speech.

HEADQ'RS DEPOT CAMP INVALID CORPS,
MERIDIAN HILL, D. C., Sept. 23, 1863.
Mr. T. J. Bigham, Pittsburgh, Pa.:
Star I have noticed in the newspapers a re
port of a mass Convention held at Pittsburgh
on the 16th inst., in whieh you are represented
to have said, in response to an inquiry of one
Mathews, as to where Woodward (meaning
Judge Woodward, the Democratic nominee for
Governor) was when Curtin was attending to
the soldiers' wants; "that when Judge Wood
ward's gallant son came home from Gettys
burg, wounded in both legs, his father told him
he might be thankfu, he got off so well—that
he ought to - have been wounded in the heart for
fighting in such a cause."
As my only brother capable of bearing arms,
who has made two campaigns with the State
Militia, has never been wounded, I presume
Ithat I am the son of Judge Woodward alluded
to in the foregoing statement—which statement
I desire to brand, as you knew it to be when
you made it, il wicked and deliberate falsehood,

must be weak indeed. A man so lost to honor
and decency as to use such means tor partisan
ends deserves to be drummed out of resiectable
society.
As the Lieutenant Colonel commanding the
2d Pennsylvania Reserves. I participated in
the battle of Gettysburg, but was fortunate
enough to escape unharmed, except a slight in
jury to my right foot. in which I had been
wounded during the Peninsular campaign.
Just after the fall of Sumter, in the spring of
1861; finning that war between the two great
sections of our common country was inevitable,
under the call of the President for, three years'
Volunteers, I raised a company in Philadelphia,
which afterwards became incorporated with the
2d Regiment Pennsylvania Reserves. Any one
familiar with the business of raising volunteer
organizations knoWs it to be an expensive un
dertaking. Every cent that my company cost,-

my company was mustered into service, I lived
in his house, and had, so far as I needed it, his
co-operation in my enterprise. '
As Major of the 2d Pennsylvania Reserves, I
participated in the Peninsular 'campaign, and
was wounded at Charles City Cress Roads in
the right foot and left leg—by which wounds 1
am 'crippled foi life- was taken prisoner, con
fined in' the Libby Prison in Richmond, and,
after being paroled, was taken to my father's
house in Philadelphia, where, for four weary
months I was confined to my bed, suffering in
tensely, but with that suffering alleviated and
h
'sally relieved, by not only the best medical
kill, but also by the constant, kind, unweary
i attention of my father, Mother and sisters.
Sing all that time, as indeed during my
le life, no father could be more kind, more
sitous for a son's welfare, than was mine.—

in which the war, and the present and the

it slander, not because you need or deserve
s kind of attention at my hands, but because
s refutation must be made as public as was
calumny, and I desire the public to have the
let truth in regard to this matter.
conclusion, sir, I will remark that it is
encouragement to our soldiers in the field
..• find that while they are toiling and fighting
for their country, lying politicians at home are
using them as the instruments of their partisan
malice, and such an instance as this is a fair
illustration of the pretended love for soldiers
which certain parties parade so constantly.—
That love must be sincere indeed which, while
it overlays the soldier with fulsome adulation,
stabs to the quick all that he holds near and
dear. GEO. A. WOODWARD,

Judge Woodward writes as follows in
a letter to Rufus E. Stabley, Eeq., of
Carlisle, Pa., under date of September
21st, 1863:
"So far from every avo - ving belief in
secession or favoriny'recognition of the South
ern Confederacy, I AM, AND ALWAYS
HAVE BEEN, OPPOSED TO BOTH,
AND I AM IN FAVOR OF SUPPRESS
ING THE REBELLION, BY WHICH
BOTH ARE SUPPORTD.
My lite has been spent, thus far, in up
holding the Constitution of the United
States as our Fathers framed it—the
Union they formed, and the Constitution
and laws of the State; and whatever of
life remains to me will be devoted to the
same ends whetner it be spent in public or
private station. Neither Secession nor
the malignant fanaticism that caused it
will ever find an advocate in me."
TO NATURALIZED CITIZENS AND
THOSE WHO HOPE TO BECOME 80.
Judge Woodward, the Democratic candidate
for Governor, has been charged by his enemies
with a desire to extend the legal period in which
a foreigner can become a citizen, and with gen
eral hostility to naturalized citizens.
HERE IS THE REFUTATION the following let
ter was received on Saturday last by a gentle
man of this city :
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 24th, 1863.
Dear Sir: You ask me, "Are you in favor of
extending the period of naturalization beyond
the present legal term of five years?"
1 answer—l am not. I would not extend it
one hour beyond the period now fixed by law.
You may make what use of your question and
answer that you please. Very truly yours,
GEO W. WOODWARD.
That, we think, is concise and conctusive.—
Nothing more can be desired on this point.

Democratic fleeting at Prosperity
A LARGE AND lINTHUSIAS
TIC GATHERING.
The meeting at Prosperi•y, Washington co.,
Pa., was a large one. Delegations from all
parts of the county were present. They had
banners, trees, flags, &c., in the procession,
which was quite a handsome and imposing
display. The meeting was called to order by
the election of Maj. JAMES S'rOCKDALE
as President, and appointing the usual number
of Vice Presidents and Secretaries.
The large assembly was then ably and elo
iently addressed by Hon. WM. MONTGOMERY
WM. GLENN, Esq., candidate for Assembly
at county.
file meeting adjourned by giving three times
three grand cheers for Woodward and Lowrie,
the Constitution and the Union, and for the
speakers.
'rhe ladies, by hundreds, were present on the
occasion. •
Tan PUBLIC DEBT.
Assuming the national debt to amount to but
two thousand millions of dollars, if it "were to
be paid in silver, it would require six hundred
and sixty-six thousand six hundred and sixty
six wagons, each carrying two thousand pounds
to haul it. Should the wagons drive at the
distance of fifty feet apart, the first one would
be going down Chestnut street, Philadelphia, at
the time the last one was starting from St.
Louis, and if they passed through Pittsburgh,
it would take them thirty-three days to pass
the corner of Grant and Wylie streets. If the
debt were paid in gold it would require five
thousand wagons, each carrying a like weight,
to transport it. Such is the magnitude of our
national debt. Pause. ponder and think."
" WOUNDED AND HILLED,"
It takes but little space in the columns
of the daily papers, but, oh ! what long
household stories and biographies are
every one of these strange names we read
over and forget! Killed and wounded!
Some eye reads the name, to whom it is
as dear as life, and some heart is struck
or broken by the made by some
name among the 2is:. It is our Henry, or
our James, or ou . .- that lies with his
voisi• linibs at the hospital, or dead—still,
and with ghastly face—on the battle-field.
Alas for the eyes that read ! "He was
my pretty boy, that I have sung to sleep
so many times in my arms 1" says the
poor mother, bowing in anguish that can
not be uttered. "lie was my brave no
ble husband, the father of my little or
phan children !" sobs the stricken wife.
"He was my darling brother, that I was
proud of 1" murmurs the sister, amid
tears; and so the terrible stroke falls on
the homes throughout the land. "Wound
ed and killed I" Every name in that list
is a lightning stroke to some heart, and
breaks the thunder over some home, and
fal s a long, black shadow upon some
hearthstone.
QUEST/ 4) NS FOR ANSWER•
What Democrat has labored to effect
an original act of revolution, by destroy
ing a sovereign State 1
What Democrat has argued in favor of
a dissolution of the Union ?
What Democrat has thanked God for
this war?
What Democrat has apologized for a
violation of the Constitution ?
What Democrat has tried to shield vio
lators of the Constitution from deserved
punishment?
What Democrat Lae said the Constitu
tion is a covenant with hell ?
What Abolitiontst has not approved of
all these things, and in his heart answer
ed these questions in the affirmative, as
his own conviction of policy ?
Bedewing the State Debt.—" Gov.
Curtin, notwithstanding the war, has paid
nearly a million dollars of our State debt."
We clip the above from the Pittsburgh
Commercial of Monday. Gov. Curtin
has had nothing at all to do with paying
the State debt or managing the finances
of the State—a Democratic State Treasur
er and a Democratic Auditor General
have the finances of the State in charge,
and are 1080 Commissioners of the Sink
ing Fund. This silly attempt to bolster
up Curtin is too transparent to cheat the
people.
Nay-Some wicked person, commenting
upon the remedies proposed 'by the Ad
ministration for existing public evils, i e..
the 'I -`ruction of the .Constitution of the
Knit I ,•_...ates. the subverSion of our free
institutions, and the enslavement et the
free white men of the North, compares the

Political, tems, Original and
SeleCted.
Or The taxpayers of Pennsylvania
must notlose sight of the important fact
that the expenses of the Litwin Admin
istration are nearly three miillions ofdol
tars per day. A large portion of this im
mense sum is absorbed by shoddy con
tractors and Abolition office-holders. The
Conscription and Tax bills have created
hordes of the latter, who are rweiving
enormous salaries fpr the discharge of
their duties. The results of Abolition
rule are hundreds of millions of public
debt, increased taxation, and wholesale
plundering of the National Treasury.
which, unless speedily checked, will .ine
vitably lead to National bankruptcy.
melt is said that the Curtin orators
who are traveling over the State making
speeches for the Abolition State ticket
receive a certain sum in greenbacks for
each speech they deliver. We under
stabd that a committee has been appoint
ed to regulate the price in every case.—
The shoddy patriots do nothing now
without pay, from their candidate for
Governor down to the meanest cur that
barks at the heels of the Democrat nomi
nees. To meet the sums necessary for
carrying on a campaign in this peculiar
way, the people are plundered and the
taxes are increased. They can reform
these fearful abuses only by voting the
Democratic ticket.
)Under Democratic Administrations
the people were blest with peace, prosper
ity and happiness; under Abolition rule
the country has been cursed with civil
war, ruined credit, enorthous taxes, and
a remorseless conscri )tion. The former
struggled to .protect the many, and se
cured to all classes of American citizens,
at home and abroad, the rights and priv
ileges of freerntn ; the latter has assailed
the liberty of speech and the freedom of
the press, and has established the worst
despotism the world ever saw. The
Democracy are for the Union and the
Constitution ; the Abolitionists are op
posed to both. Which will you choose ?
Siol - With all Mr.
- Secretary Stanton's
faults, and they are legion, he is no "job
ber." The public, therefore, can easily
understand the feeling which prompted
him to decline all personal intercourse
with Andrew G. Curtin, which he did with
the contemptuous assertion that "he
could not take the hand of a jobber." In
no place is the shoddy . candidate held in
more real contempt than by the Adminis
tration at Washington. They are willing
to use him as a tool, but they do not re
gard him as a frt . associate.
Ser. Do you ever hear a blacksnake
orator say, or read in an Abolition paper
anything about the expense of the war?
Not a word I Do you ever hear them
enumerate the hut.dreds of thousands of
lives this war has cost; that all this
could have been avoided if the Abolition
ists had voted in good faith for the Crit
tenden resolutions? Not a word of it !
Personal Liberty.—Festus had
much better idea of persona( liberty than
Preside - tit Lincoln. About eighteen cen
turies ago, when Porcitts Festus and
King Agrippa were examining the Apos
tle Paul, who had appealed from the
provincial court to the Roman Emperor,
the former said : "It seemeth to me un
reasonable to semi a prisoner, and not
withal to signify the crimes laid against
Lim,"
:kir The negroes who had deserted
from the military service in .Massailiusetts
were arrested a few days since. As the
guards were taking them down to the
wharf in Boston, heavily handcuffed, on
their way to Fort Warren, one of them
held up his manacled hands and exclaim
ed, "Dis am Massa Linkum's proclatna
shun."
ikirWe ask our Republican friends to
recollect that the attacks on Ucv. Curtin
are all from their own party. The Dem
ocratic press has not originated and has
but imperfectly repeated the most serious
charges made against him.
sorin a procession at the great Demo
cratic mass meeting held at Brookville,
Jefferson county, last week, there were
one hundreft and twenty one men who never
voted the Democratic ticket, but who are
now active and earnest for WoonwAsn,
LOWRIE and CIVIL LIBERTY.
That's so tou.—A Republican said
the other day that he intended to vote the
Democratic ticket ; that he could not
make a worse of it. If there was any
good in the opposition he could not see it.
,Shall ballots or bayonets rule?—
The Democrats say ballots, and by this
mode come peace and prosperity. The
Republicans say bayonets and through
these come ruin, desolation, tyranny and
wrong.
Sir The next general election will de
cide the question whether a white man
is as good as a nigger. It is natural to
conclude that the white man will vote in
favor of himself.
iiiirAfter the terrible battle at
Gettysburg. Andrew G. Curtin rode
over the bloody field, and hearing a
wounded officer exclaim, "this is an
awful slaughter of Pennsylvanians,"
flippantly remarked, "it mattered
little, there were plenty more to take
their places." The thousands . of
widows and orphans in Pennsylvan
ia, whose protectors were slaugh
tered in that fearful fi g ht, will cherish
in bitter remembrance the heart
less utterance of him who now
shamelessly aspires to the title of
'the soldier's fricud."—Ape.

GOV. MTN AHD THE SOLDIERS.
Gov. Curtin reproduces upon every oc
casion he-speaks, a statement which must
thrill a patriotic community with horror,
considering the situation of our two great
armies, at the present moment, under
Meade and Rosecrans. He says he has
extended his utmost influence in having
furloughed for thirty days, all the Penn
sylvania troops it was possible to reach
for the purpose of voting at the October
Election. The loss of a battle, the slaugh
ter of thousands of brave men, are noth
ing compared with the election of Curtin.
That must be secured, •though it cost the
nation its life, and the country its glory.
This public boast of a G.,vernor who is
known to be always omnipotent in Wash
ington, that he will deplete the army at
the moment of its greatest peril, and. for a
space of time which will cover all the
fighting weather of this year, should be
met as it deserves by a truly loyal and out

Democratic Meeting at the
Willow. Tree.
The Democratic Meeting at the Willow
Tree, in Greene tp., on Saturday, Oct. 2d,
was a cheering demonstration About 12
o'clock the procession from Pierceville
came in, headed asplendid martial band
with banners displayed, with the motto;
"Woodward, Lowrie. Union and Victory."
The procession from Mapletown, headed
by the band, was a large one. The crowd
assembled in front of the Willow Tree
Inn, and on motion, Hon. ISAAC BUR
SON was elected President; and Corbly
Garrard, Lq., John P. Minor, AN , Jere
minh Stewart and Joseph Vance of Greene,
John F. Wright and David Huston of
Cumberland, and Nicholas Lovengood o of
Whitely tps , Vice President's; and D. L.
Donley and Jacob Ramer, Secretaries.
The Hon. Jesse Lazear was then called
on, and responded in a speech of great
interest, ably and complete}y vindicating
his course in Congress and the principles
and policy of the Democratic party. Af
ter which the meeting was addressed by
Col. R. W. Jones for an hour and a halt
in a speech of great energy and earnest
ness, on the grave issues pending in the
present contest. He was followed by Jo
seph G Ritchie, Esq„ in an eloquent and
patriotic address, when the large crowd
dispersed. If, Messrs. Editors, the Demo

in Greene Ip., we see no use of people mak
ing loud demonstrations, and shall be
sadly disappointed.

A New Governor for Tennessee.
The Hon. Emerson Ethridge is said to be in
Washington, at the instance of prominent
Union men of Tennessee, endeavoring to obtain
the consent of the Administration for General
W. B. Campbell to be inaugurated Governer:
of Tennessee on ground that he was voted
for in th, ramous couu;i.,s on the first Thurs
day in August tact, the day set by law for the
election of Governor in that State since 1835.
It is claimed that he received all the votes cast
and in that State. The majority of all the votes
given elects. A larger votes. it is said by the
gentleman, would have been given through .;
out the State, had not Gov. Johnson and his
advisers opposed the election. They also say
that the inauguaration of Gov. Campbell would
relieve Gov. Johnson from his labors, and the
people al :it,: State having a civil Governor
would have no difficulty in reorganizing the en
tire State government immediately.
Bread Blots in the South
There has been another bread riot
at Mobile. The starving women of
the town, driven to desperation by
protracted suffering, have taken mat
ters into their own hands, and seem
so far to have overcome all opposi
tion, that one regiment of Alabama
troops refused to exert themselves
against the mob, in which, probably,
their own households were represen•
ted, while an organization of cadets,
troubled by no such notions, nor ap
parently by the chivalry which pro
tects woman,promptly undertook the
job of putting down the rioters, but
in this object did not succeed; as
they were, on the contrary, compell
ed to abandon the field in a disgrace
ful flight. A body of fire-eaters run
ning before a body of women is a
new picture under the sun. These
turbulent pro_wedings on the part of
the women of Southern cities, testify
more conclusively to the desperate
straits of the "Confederacy" than any
other revelations which have yet
been made.

ted. The present draft will not give
the government over 75,000 men.—
It is said in some quarters that this
is too high an estimate by 25,000
men. Another draft will undoubted
ly take place very soon,- except in
those districts which prefer to raise
the full quota by volunteering, asi
the government offers a bounty of
three hundred dollars. The next drat:,
will probably be for 600,000 men,
anu the expectation of the govern
ment under the new instructions is
to obtain one-third of the men drawn
as soldiers. The two drafts and the
volunteering it is estimated will give
about 300,000 men by the i rst of
next January.
Union Victory in Arkansas.
A dispatch from Little Rock, Ark., da
ted the 21st, to the St. Louis Republican,
says Col. Cloud, with one hundred of the
2d Kansas Cavalry, arrived at that place
on the 19th. Between Perryville, in the
Indian Territory, where Gen. Blunt de
feated the rebels under Steel and Coffee,
and Fort Smith, Colt Cloud, with 500
of the 2d Kansas cavalry and Robb's
battery, attacked 2,000 rebels under Gen.
Cabell, in a strongly fortified position,
routing them with considerable loss.—
The rebels retreated toward Arkadelphia.
At Dardenville, on the 9th, Col. Cloud
attacked 1,000 rebels under Col. Stirmati,
and defeated them, capturing their camp
and a large amount of commissary
stores. Over 2,000 mounted Unionists
joined Col. Cloud's command, anxious to
serve in the defence of their homes. The
first train started on the Memphis and
Little Rock Railroad on the 21st. From
ten to fifty deserters reach Little Rock
daily. They take the oath of allegiance
and are released.
The Battles In Georgia—Our
Losses Greatly Exaggerated.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 28.—The Commer
cial's correspondent gives a less gloomy
account of the battles of Georgia than
that given by other correspondents.—
Our loss in artillery and baggage is
greatly exaggerated. All our divisions
fought well. Our army was drawn up
around Rossville on Monday, in good or
der, awaiting an attack, but the enemy
declining to offer battle, our army fell
back and took up a strong position
around Chattanooga. Our soldiers are
in good spirits. There is no lack of guns,
ammunition or provisions.
A Fight In East Tennessee
A Knoxville dispatch of the 25th
that our occupation of East
Tennessee continues comparatively
quiet. In Foster's engagement with
Carter he captured seventy, killed
six, wounded ten, and routed the
balance. The report says : "1 sent
the expedition to drive the rebels
from the railroad, and it was suc
cessful. Gen Shackleford came on
the enemy's pickets near Carter's
Station. Skirmishing was kept up
all day Monday. At night the rebels
retreated into their earthworks. and
cannonading was kept up till Tues
day, when preparation were made
to capture the whole party ; but they
made their escape during the night.
They belt twenty-seven dead. Our
loss was two killed and seven wound
ed. This leaves East Tennessee clear.
Roving bands will be picked up by
our cavalry. Our chief interest is
concentrated in Rosecrans, and we
wait the moment of action. Our
boys are in fine health and spirits."
General Hartsuff left for the North
on Friday. General :Judah is in tem
porary command of the corps. For
age food are plenty. Our cavalry
are well mounted.
A Terrible Battle In Prospect.
By the tacit consent of both sides
preparations are now being made for
a conflict amidst the mountains of
Tennessee, which will dwarf all the
battles of the rebellion. On the re.-
suit of that battle may largely de
pend the speedy termination or the
indefinite continuanceot the present
war. Jeff. Davis is understood to
have declared that he would snatch
Tennessee from tLe grasp of the
Yankees it it took all the combined
armies of the South. Ounown Gov
ernment is rapidly sending the ablest
veterans of the Army of the Poto
mac to reinforce Roseerans. The
armies of Grant and Burnside wilt
undoubtedly soon be concentrated at
Chattanooga.
Resecrans' Position Impregna-
ble.
NEW YORK, Sept 28.—A special
from Washington says the Repub
lican of to-day, says that a dispel eh
which left Rosecrans' head quarters
yesterday, p. m., announces that he
occupies a natural stronghold, from
which be cannot be removed, and
that the enemy has made no attack
since the 21st. Gen. Meigs, who ar
rived at Chattanooga on Saturday,
upon invitation,examined Rosecrans'
defences, and •says nothing but a
siege can dislodge him, and the
enemy is making no movement in
that direction. The Republican is
silent on the subject of reinforce
ments having reached Rosecrans.
Operations before Charleston.
BA.srpton,z Sept, 30.—The Ameri
can has received the Richmond En
quirer yesterday. A dispatch, dated
"Charleston, Sep t. 28," says that the
enemy, with their Morris Island bat
teries, were tiring - slowly a&tio.
