0111ANGII, N. J., Oct. 12. 1863.
To Eon. Chas. J. Biddle, Chairman
Democratic State Central Committee :
Doer Sir :—qty attention has been call
ed to an article in the Philadelphia Press,
asserting that it bad written to the mana
gers at the Democratic meeting at Allen
sown, disaliproving the objects of the
meeting, and that if I voted or spoke it
would be in favor of Gov. Curtin, and I
am informed that similar assertions have
been made throughout the State. It has
been my earnest endeavor heretofore, to
evade any participation in party and poli
tics. I had determined to adhere to this
course, but it is obvious that I cannot
long remain iu silence under such misap
prehensions. I therefore request you to
deny that I have written any such letter
or maintained any such views as those at
tributed to me in the Philadelphia Press.
I desire to state that having some days
Imp bad a full conversation with Judge
Woodward, I find that our views agreed.
I regard his election as Governor of Penn

the nation. I understood Judge Wood

nand of the loyal States, until the ruili
ivy, power of the rebellion is destroyed.
-understand him to be of the opinion
goat while the war is carried on with all
notaille decision and energy that the pol
icy directing it should be in accordance
with the principles of humanity and the
.Christian world, not injuring private
rights and property, not demanded by
military necessity, and recommended by
military law among civilized nations.—
And finally, I understand him to agree
with me in the opinion that the sole great
objects of this war are the restoration of
the unity of the nation, the preservation
of the constitution, and the supremacy of
the laws of the country. Believing that
our opinions entirely agree upon these
points, I would, were it in my power,
give to Judge Woodward tny voice and

LETTER PROM GOV. SEYMOUR.
We find the following letter from
Hon. Horatio Seymour, written in
reply to 144 Imitation to address a
Deskooratie meeting V, Itilwankie,
in oar Western: exchanges. It em
bodies a clear statement of the is
sues before the people:
GENTLEMEN : Nothing would have
afforded me greater pleasure, had
circumstances permitted, than to
have accepted your invitation to be
present at the Mass Convention of
the Democracy of Milwaukie on the
26th inst.
In the gloomy night which over
shadows the nation ; there is no I
hope but in the restoration to pow
er
of the Democratic conservative
party. The fanatical leaders, who
precipitated this bloody conflict by
underrating the South, its resources
and military ability, who scoffed at
the Crittenden compromise and all
other efforts to avert civil war—who
rejected the measures of the Peace
Convention, and who, after war was
forced upon us, have persistently
created obstacles to its vigorous and
successful prosecution, by perverting
it from its original purpose, the res
toration of the Union, as solemnly
avowed in our national Congress,
into a hopeless emancipation cru
sade, and by driviugfrom the army
through abolition intrigues, General
McClellan and other officers of mili
tary experience, to make place for
political adventurers—have by their
entire policy exhibited alike their
incapacity to carry on war or to in
augurate peace.
Failing to crush the Southern re
bellion, their entire energies seem
now directed to the destruction of
popular rights and personal freedom
throughout the North. Safeguards
of liberty, wrested from despotism
after a struggle of centuries, are by
them ignored or swept away. The
substitution of an irresponsible mili
tary tyranny in place of law, the sup
pression of free speech—the muzzling
of the press, the midnight seizure,
the mock 'trial and illegal banish
ment of a distinguished citizen of
Ohio, and that too in a loyal dis
trict, where the civil law is in unob
structed operation—are among the
mad acts iy which all constitutional
government and every principle
dear to freemen, are sought to be
crushed and destroyed.
While we freely expend blood and
treasure to overcome Southern trai
tors, wo must with equal spirit and
similar sacrifices resist such treason
able usurpation at the North. The
latter, formidable and dangerous, be
cause secret and insidious in its ad
vance, must be expelled at all haz
ards.
I trust the voice of the Wisconsin
Democracy will utter no uncertain
sound in this crisis of our nation's
existence.
I am very respectfully and truly
yours, &,e. I.IOIIATIO SEYMOUR.
Naturalized Citizens in (he Opin
ion of Abolitionists good E
nough to Fight, but not Hi to
Vote.
By an emphatic majority, the Abolition
ists of Rhode Island, at the State election
on Monday, the sth inst.,• voted down the
following amendment to the Constitution
of that State:
"Aliens, residents of this State, who
have enlisted or volunteered, or who may
enlist or volunteer, in any of the regiments
of this State, and who shall be honorably
discharged therefrom, and who are now
or shall become naturalized citizens of the
United States, shall be permitted to vote
at all elections in this State on the same
terms as native•born citizens of this State."
To this proposition the Abolitionists of
Rhode Island answer with an emphatic
NO
Printing Office Destroyed
The printing office of the Olney (Ill.)
Herald was destroyed a few days ago, as
we learn from the Springfield Journal, by
a mob composed of soldiers. The provo
cation is not stated. It is stated, how
ever, that Gen. Ammen, who has com
mand of the soldiers in this State, happen
ed accidentally to go into Olney a few
hours after the office was destroyed, and
that he had the soldiep who were en
gaged in the mob arrested, then made au
assessment among them fur the whole
amount of the property destroyed, and or
dered that the sum assessed to each of
them should be deducted from their pay,
and duly paid over to the proprietor of the
Herald. Soldiers who are sworn as they
are when sworn into the service, to sup
port the Constitution and the laws, should
be the last men to violate and trample the
laws under their feet.—Quincy Herald.
RENE AND ABROAD.
It is sonietinies interesting to note bow
closely even cotemporary history repeats
itself. The Washingtbn Chronicle says :
"The friends of Curtin 'and the Union
who have left this city and vicinity, during
the past week or two, for the purpose of
voting the Union ticket, number over
nine thousand, exclusive of soldiers."
And an exchange mentions that—
" The Prussian Government has de
manded that all public functionaries
should actively support its candidates in
the coming elections."
bar The "way in which the funds and
energies of the Government
,have lately
been employed ie indicated by the follow

of the Washington Chronicle :
"Lieut. Col. Greene, Chief Quartermas

he intends to present gratuitously to the
mechanics employed in his Department
who desire to go home to Pennsylvania to

Casualties is late Hattie 15,000.
NEW Yoitx, October 13th.--The
following special relative to Rose
erans army appears under a Wash
ington date. Things are unchanged
with the exception that the enemy
have removed their artillery from
Lookout Mountains, where they had
about ten pieces in position, and ap
pear to have somewhat withdrawn
their forces. I', is supposed that
they will colcentrate their artillery
on Missionary Ridge. Some of the
enemy's pieces are heavy, and all
seem to carry well. They hold both
the Lookout Mountains, Missionary
Ridge, from which they threw shells
on the 4th and sth inst. On the lat
ter day one hundred and fifty shells
were thrown by the enemy. They,
however, inflicted no damage be
yond that of wounding three men
and killing one horse.
We have several lines ofentrench
ments, and extensive earthworks are
still going on. The plan of the ene
my appears to be not to make an at
tack in front, but to compel us to
abandon Chattanooga by simply
holding us in our present position,
with their army in our front, annoy
ing us with their artillery and
breaking our lines of communication
by cavalry raids in our rear: A
general order issued on the 7th an
nounces Maj. Gen. Reynolds as chief
staff in place of Gen. Garfield, who
vacates his position to assume his
seat in Congress
The divisions of the army will be
consolidated into six to form the 4th
and sth corps, with Gens. Thomas
and Granger as commanders. Those
under the former will be command
ed by Gens. Bayard, Davis, and Ros
seau, and those under the latter by
Gene. Wood. Sheridan and Palmer.
Geu. Brannan will be Chief of Ar
tillery.
There seems to be good reason for
believing that the rebels had a
fight among themselves last Monday
in which five or six hundred were
killed and wounded. Deserters con
firm the statement, but differ as to
the cause. One version is that
Georgia troops refused to cross the
Chickamauga, and Withers division
was sent down to compel them. The
other : Tennessee troops had reins ,
to obey orders, and Longstreet's
force were sent against them. The
line of battle and flash of the guns
could be distincly Ace,/ from the
mountain tops. This occurred at
the time of their cannonading on
Monday, by which we conclude that
this was the nature of their trouble.
General ltosecrans denies officially
having brought any charges against
Gene. McCook and Crittenden. It
is believed generally that these offi
cers will show a much better record
' than the reports in regard to them
warrant.
With the assisanee of reinforce.
ments already arrived, movements
will soon be made, it is hoped, which
will drive the enemy from our
front.
The army is still well supplied
with everything but clothing and
blankets, the want of which, in un
usually cold weather, causes con
siderable suffering.
All the wounded able to bear re
moval have been sent North.
The casualties in the late battles
will not be less than 15,000
On Thursday the rebels on the
opposite side of the river, fired into
our wagons and ambulance trains
passing over the valley road. wound
ing two men, and killing and wound

They seem determined on embar
rassing our transportation in every
possible way.
The forces of Wheeler, after burn•
ing a portion of Shelbyville, were at.
tacked by Coi. Crook not far from
that place on Wednesday. We kill
ed 120 of the enemy, and took 300
prisoners and two pieces of artillery.
The rebels were pursued by our
forces in the direction of Fayette
ville, overtaken and thirty more
prisoners lost by them. At last ac
counts they were making their way
into the interior, closely pur
sued by our cavalry, which is re
garded
as sufficient to take care of
them.
Rhoddy has crossed the Tennessee
with 100 men. He passed through
as far as Kinsville, on the Memphis
and Chattanooga railroad yesterday
and a rnado off in the direction of Win
chester.
Friday night they drove in our
pickets. At the Summit. this side of
Cowan, some damage was done by
throwing down stones, but to no
great extent, and obstructions have
been removed. Gen. Hooker sent a
force last night to that point, but the
rebels did not venture on an attack.

It is reported that Gregg's division

WASHINGTON. Oct. 13.—The even
ing Star says the skilful maaceu
are by which Gen. Meade check
mated his astute adversary, and
without loss of any •sort to any ap
preciable extent, and placing him
self "on the other side of Jordon,"
and in a position where be preferred

siderably bothered the rebels, who
do not seem inclined to fight unless
with Indian-like advantages of a sur
prise and in ambuscade
The change of position made by
our army wss effected without the
slightest confusion. The amount of
stores destroyed, or left behind would
not make a car load altogether.—
The loss in Gen. Gregg's division of
cavalry is said to be severe. The
13th and 14111 Pennsylvania,and 10th
New York suffered most.
On Sunday night our forces cross
ed the Rappahannock, and on Mon
day morning two corps crossed and
drove the enemy to Brandy station
with a severe loss in killed, wounded
and prisoners on the rebel side.—
They then received an order to fall
back, which they did in good order.
General Buford, with his cavalry,
was on the left of Kilpatrick in the
centre, and Gregg on the right.—
Gregg and Buford sw.:ceeded in hold
ing the enemy in check on the right
and left until nine o'clock, when,
acting under orders, they fell back
on our main body, the purpose of
the movement having been effected.
A special to the World says the
military situation to-day shows that
the rebels have abandoned their ap
parent purpose of flanking Meade,
and have withdrawn towards the
Rapidan. It therefore looks as
though their late movement is some
cover to military demonstrations on
their part elsewhere. All is quiet in
front to-day.
The following dispatch to the Her

sing armies on Monday .
headquarters of the Army of the
Potomac, Oct. 12, 0 a. m.—The trains
have all come in safely and in excel

have also arrived at the river and
are in line of battle. Our forces arc
now in a position to contest any fur

do not think a general engagement
will take place to-day.
Latest from Gen. Mead's Army.
The Washington Republican of
Monday evening contained the follow
ing, which the censor would not allow
to be telegraphed to the press : We
have information from the front
this morning that General Mead's
army has fallen back to this side of
the Rappahannock, followed by
Lee's army, which is in great force
about half a mile from the south side
ofthat river. '.l he enemy made a feint,
m iving up the valley on the southern
bank of the Robertson river, and
our cavalry under Buford crossed at
Germania Ford, and took possession
of the earthworks abandoned by
theta. When our force was all
across, the enemy came against Bu
ford in great force, and drove him
across the river without time to de
stroy the crossing, and pursued him
to Rappahannock Station.
Gen. Kilpatrick; with a force of
cavalry and artillery, which had
made a reconnoisance near .Madison
Court louse, was cut off yesterday
afternoon on the road to Culpepper,
by a portion of Ewell's corps,

he could retreat, in twelve ranks,

Kilpatrick was compelled to charge
directly into tlrem. He led the
charge in person, telling Lis men
they must do or die. The cavalry cut
its way through a concentrated lire,
such as had hardly been experienced
by our troops during the war. it is
quite probable his rear, with his ar•
tillery retired through Culpepper.—
Kilpatriek's loss in killed and wound
ed was 150.
Gen. Meade is said to have display
ed good generalship in bringing his
army back to the line of the Rappa
hannock, when the enemy made
his feint of moving up the Valley•—
Gen. Meade also made a feint of fol
lowing him in force to attack him in
the rear, massing his troops at Rac
coon Ford for that purpose. This
drew back Lee's army, so that the
intended flanking movement was
frustrated. Gen.Mettdo has brought
off every wagon and all his - stores.

NEW YORK, October 13--A Wash
ington special of the 12th says:—
Early on Saturday a brigade of cav
airy, belonging to Kilpatrick's di
vision, attempted a reconnoissance
on the 'south side of the Robertson
river They were attacked by a
large force of rebel cavalry, amply
supported by infantry and artillery,
under command of Gen. Stuart. in
person. The infantry force was one
of Ewell's divisions, and numbered
about 8,000 men• A brisk fight en
sued, lasting about an hour WOCLI our
cavalry was compelled to fall back on
their infantry supports, three miles
from Culpepper. •
At this place another conflict en
sued, in which our infantry supports
were worsted and compelled to retire,
the rebels capturing about one hun
dred of the 12th New York. Our
cavalry again formed into line, and
made a splendid charge, and recap
tured all the prisoners taken except
fifteen or twenty. Rebel reinforce
ments coming to their assistance,
our fori;es were pushed back to Cul
pepper, skirmishing all the way.—
There is heavy firing this afternoon,
indicating that the engagement had
been renewed.
Later intelligence from the front
says our forces have evacuated Cul
pepper. Such stores as could not he
conveniently carried were burned.—
Their value however, was trifling—
It is reported that the whole rebel
army bas crossed the Rapidan.—
Further from the front says that
Gen Meade has fallen back to the
north bank of the Rappanannock.
Prisoners captured on Saturday,
state that Longstreet's corps had re
turned from the southwest. This,
however, is doubted. Tile rebels com
menced to cross the Rapidan on
Thursday morning in the direction
Of Madison Court House, with the
evident intention of turning General
Meade's right wing. Heavy cavalry
reinforcements have been sent to the
front.

to-day :
_Headquarters Army of the Potomac,
Oct. 15.—The Major Genoaal com

that the rearguard, consisting of the
Second corps, was attacked yester

enemy after a spirited contest, was
repulsed, losing a battery of five

Department-4 Severe Battle
and Federal Defeat—General
Dana In a Perilous Situation.
/NEW YORK, October 10.--The
World's New Orleans correspondent
has the following important news :
Gen. Logan hovers around Baton
Rouge, and clouds of mounted parti
san rangers are along the river on
the right bank from Donaldsonville
to the mouth of Red river, and on
the left bank from Baton !lunge, and
often below that point to Natchez
and beyond.
Gen. Hen on's division, at Morgan
or 3.l.organ's Bend,on the right bank,
about twenty-five miles above Port
'Judson, had been engaged for sev
eral days skirmishing with a body,
as they supposed, of - guerrillas. The
rebels becoming more daring and
annoying, Gen. Dana, now in com
mand of Llerron's division, sent out
a number of regiments to net the
enemy and ascertain his strength.
The enemy was felt, and pr3ved
himself much too strong for the
force sent against him. A severe en
gagement ensued, resulting in a loss
to the Union array of several hund
red killed and wounded, and of some
fifteen hundred prisoners.
This took place on Tuesday, the
29th ult. Since then the rebel forces
have resumed the offensive, and are
pressing Dana's men with such vigor
that the gunboats have been called
in to aid them in repulsing the one
my.
All the sugar houses and all other
structures standing in the way have
been leveled to the ground, but it is
reported that still the gunboats can
be of little service owing to the nu
merous bluffs in that vicinily. The
rebels are still there, and will do
greater mischief if General .Dana is
not reinforced.
This body of Confederates is said
to be under the command of Prince
Polignuc, now Brigadier General in
the provisional army of the Confed
erate States. The truth is reinforce
ments are sadly needed here, and
until they are received the people of
the North need not expect to Lear
of anything being done in this De
partment beyond the mere holding
of the same.

suffering from great and long continued debility. The
use of three bottles of these Bitters, at the beginning of
the present year, was followed by evident relief, and

hesitation to stating that, if these Bitters were freely

PUY/a/lAD VI.I, A nog 23rd, 1662.
Messrs, Jones 4. /:cans:—Well gentlemen, your
!foothold's German !littera have saved my life.—
There is 11.1 mistake in this. It is vouched for by
rissobers of my conaraaes, some of whose names are
appended, and who were full" cognizant of all the
militia:timers of my case. I am, and have been for
the last Gorr years, a member of Sherinan's celebrated
battery, and ilu.lpr the immediate command of Capt.
H. H. Ayers. the exposure attendant upon
my arc nous duties, I was attacked in November lan
with of the lungs. and was fur seventy
days in the hospital. This was billowed by mat
debility, heightened by an attack of dysentery, I was
then removed front the White. House, and sent to this
city 1111 Ward Steamer Maine, " from
which I landed on the 28th of June. dince that time
I have been about as low as any one could be and
yet, omain a spark of vitality. For a week or mote I
was a carcely able to swallow anything, and if I did
force a morsel down, it was immediately thrown up
again.
I could fit even keep a glass of water nit ray stain •
itch. Life could not last under these circumstances
and. accordingly, the physicians alto had been work
Mg faithfully, though unsuctassfully. to rescue tee
Irma the grasp of the dread Archer, frankly told me
f lied could do no snore flit me. and advised me to see
a clergy matt, and to make such disposition of my
it , !el in: de as best suited tor.. An acquaintance who
visited me at the hospital, Mr. Frederick eteinbron,
o r;ixtli below Arch Street, advised me, as a forlorn
tite , t o try your Bitters, and kindly procured a bottle.
From the time I commenced taking theta the gloomy
shadow of death receded, and I am now, thank God
tiir it, getting better. Though 1 have taken but two
bottles, I have gained ten pounds, and 1 feel sanguine
of tieing permitted to rejoin tuy. wife and daughter
from whom I have heard nothing for eighteen menthe:
gemlemeit, 1 am a loyal Virginian, from the vi
cinity of Front Royal. lro your invaluable Bitters!
owe the certainty of life which has taken the place of
vague fears—to your Bitters will I owe the glorious
privilege of again clasping to my bosom those who are
nearest to toe in life. Very truly Yours,
We fully concur in the truth of the abovestatemeut
as we had despaired of seuilig our comrade, Mr. Ma ,
lone. restored to health.
