WEDNESDAY, NOV. 111, 1648:
!WIS. LINOOIX--A GAY SEASON."
Under this title the Washington
correspondent of the Springfield
(Mass.) Republican, an Administra
tion paper, writes :
Mrs. Lincoln has just got back
from her Northern trip, and will
soon be domiciled in the White
House. For a few days, till the
Presidential Mansion can be thor
oughly renovated, she will remain at
the Soldier's flume, and then will
some preparations for the "season"
that is hastening on. We are going
to have a very gay season—there is no
doubt of that—whether our armies
triumph or fail. Mrs. Lincoln will
have a great many select parties, to
say nothing of the common recep
tions and levees. She seems to be
growing popular with the people.
The ,correspondent of the New
York Commercial, another Adminis
tration organ, states that the " Re
riblicanpourt" at Washington is to
be very gay, fashionable, and aristo
cratic the coming winter. It has
been decided that none out of the
'rich and well born,' shall be admit
ted within the sacred walls of the
White Rouse, and that "unwashed
orderlies, with their boots drawn
Qypt their pants," and "servant girls,
troth from the fumes of the kitchen,"
shall not be- allowed access to the
"levees," as was the case last winter.
Mrs. Lincoln haa"put her foot down"
Against all such "ill mannered peo
ple," becoming her guests !
.Ikrth, gaiety, and enjoyment,—
scerbs of georgeous splendor and
glittering show will henceforth be
Witnessed 'at the White House.—
"There is nothing the matter"—"no -
body's hurt"—"this excitement in
th 9 country is all artificial."
.
."On with the dance, jet joy he unconfined."
% I H I E 'MARYLAND ELECTION.
.From the N. Y. Tribune.]
Those who should be well inform
-94 091'9(4-Ging the probable result of
the elections in Maryland next week,
declare than the Unconditional
Union men will carry every Con
gressional District, defeating even
Calvert in the Lower Potomac
counties, and Chris:leld in the East
orn Shore counties, which are more
full of sympathizers with the rebel
lion and of slaveholders than any
other portion. of the State. Pains
will 'be taken to prevent all disloyal
men from ex;rcising the right of suf
frage.
The Express copies the above, and
xemarks that, being interpreted, it
means that—
If the ticket is likely to go against
the Republicans (as it certainly will,
if only truly loyal men vote,) then
certain people-are to be charged
with disloyalty in order to elect Re
publicans to a doubtful Congress.—
This game is perfectly understood
by everybody, but by nobody better
than the friends of the Administra
tion. During the war this game may
be successful, but it will certainly re
coil upon its authors.

OUR FRIENDS ON THEIR WAY UP.
For the Messenger.
OLD SHIP CONSTITUTION,
ON THR WAY lIP SALT,
Oct. 26th, 1863.
My Old and Citerish,ed Friends :
Shortly after midnight on the
morning of the 14th inst., I was
roused from my slumbers at my
boarding-house on shore by the Por
ter of our vessel, and ordered to get
myself in immediate readiness for
another voyage to the dismal and
'dreary highlands at the head of this
noted stream, as it was expected the
"Constitution" would weigh anchor
at 8 o'clock precisely. Struck dumb
by the announcement, for I had con
fidently trusted we were laid up in
our cozy harbor at home for at least
five years to come, both myself and
my messmates gathered out "duds"
hurriedly together in our hand
trunks, and put off to the vessel on
a double-quick. Though scarcely
day-bleak. crowds of our discomfit
ted Democratic friends filled the
streets, and the wharf was so crowd
ed we could scarcely reach the gang
way. By a good deal of elbowing,
however, we at last got on bmtrd,
and found ourselves surrounded by
as disappointed a set of whole-souled
fellows as you ever encountered.—
Each of them wore a badge bearing.
the plucky motto, "Defeated, but not
Disheartened," and over the cabin
door swung a beautiful transparen
cy, bearing the significant inscrip
tions, "We go, to come again," ".No
berths for Greenback Democrats,"
"Far more true joy Marceline exiled
feels, than Cmsar with a Senate at
his heels." &c. Entering the princi
i pal cabin, our eye first fell on the
tall form of our gallant chief, Judge
Woodward, who had borne himself
so manfully and with so much pro
priety during the contest. His face
was wreathed in smiles, and ho
was talking and laughing merrily
with Clymer, Bigler and Witte, and
others who had struggled bravely
for him and the Right where and
when the battle was fiercest and
hottest. In a few minutes, we heard
a tremendous din and shouting on
shore, and hurried out to find the
bulk of the Greene county delega
tion marching down the wharf,
shouting like victors, and
_carrying
banners with such inscriptions as
"1500 in '63, insures 2500 for Mc-
Clellan in '64;" "Unbought and Un
dismayed;" "Our garments are itn
defiled," &c., &c. Temple was at
their head with the best martial
band in all the countryside, playing
the "Star-Spangled Banner," "Mc-
Clellan and the Union," and other
inspiriting airs as the crowd marched
on board Just before setting sail
Washington's Farewell Address was
read in capital style, and the vast
concourse of passengers joined in
singing "Flail Columbia,;" and as we
started, cheers for "the Union as it
was under the Constitution as it is,"
made the welkin ring.
About sunset we encountered the
"Contraband" of Waynesburg, on
her way down, all sail set, and just
pushing out from Amalgamation
Island. We spoke her, and she cast
anchor a short distance from shore,
and perhaps a hundred yards from
the "Constitution." In reply to
Ome inquiries, we, learned she bad
- put into port here to bury her
Purser, who had been laboring for
a long time under the "Mink" ►nala
dy, and had lately contracted yellow
fevcr from gathering old rags in
Contraband camps on the coast of
Florida. He was buried with his
heels down, arid a head-board erect
ed With' the following strikingly ap
propriate epitaph r- 7 - 7 . ' - •
"Here lies cid 25 per cent.;
The more he made, the more he lent;
The more he lent, the more he craved;
Good Lord ! can such a soul be saved I"
A large number of widows and or
phans, whom he had befriended,
composed the funeral cortege, and
some 40 small farmers who . had
borrowed money from him on mort
gage at 25 per cent. acted as
mourners and pall-bearers. The
crew wore a yard and a half of
black tape on their coat tails in to—
ken of their grateful recollection of
their departed friend.
Here we found a copy of the
"Patriot & Union," itifr columns
dressed in mourning, and containing
the'fol:owing melancholy announce—

"Oh, Liberty! can man resign thee,

A boat-load of "Weak-Kneed and
Debauched Democrats" Irorn the
"Contraband" paid us 'a brier visit.
They were dressed in Greenbacks,
and approached our vessel singing
in thunder tones, "Down with the
Traitors," &c., which we thought a
most appropriate song for men who
bad betrayed the party which bad
fed them and their fathers, and
which only lost their support and

THE HEROES OF THE FIGHT.---A
GOOD "GOAL."---PILING lII' THE
AGONY.
Messrs. Editors :—I find the following
notice of JAMES ANDREW JACKSON Bu.
CUANAN, Esq., in the last "Greene County
Republican." This is the "meat" this
Ceasar "eats," that makes him grow. so
" bold." It is with such preposterous
soft solder as this he is daily plied by his
Abolition keepers. Nobody who knows
aught of Jack's course or influence could
honestly accuse him of being able to in
fluence or control 25 votes in the county
and how he can swallow such fulsome
balderdash as Evans dishes up for him is
past finding out. Yours,
From the Greene County Republican.
HEROES OF THE LATE POLITIOA
CAMPAIGN IN THIS STATE'.
Under this heading the Philadel
phia Daily News pays a ;glowing
tribute to Kelley, Moore, Shannon
and others, with Curtin at their
head, who did signal service for the
Union by their eloquent appeals to
the people, and adds: "How many
more heroes, reticent and unrecord
ed, there were, wo have no time to
tell." To this list of valiants, we
beg leave to add the name of J. A.
J. BucfrANAN, who labored as ardu
ously and - effectually- as any other
man. Abandoning the organization
of the spurious Democracy, he took
a bold stand in favor of the Uniou
candidates, and by reason of his elo
quenceand influence contributed as
much as any one man to the re
election of Andrew G. Curtin. It
is attributable to him more than any
other cause. that the Democratic ma
jority in Greene county, instead of
being over 2000, was less than 1500.

The enemy's batteries engaged
were those at Gregg and Wagner,

three Monitors.

PHPLHIADvLI, A opts , 23rd, ISO.
Messrs. Jones ti• Leans:—Well gentlemen, your
Moorland's German Bitters have saved my life.—
There is no mistake in this. It is vouched for by
embers of my comrades, some of whose names are
appended, and who wert fully cognizant of all the
circumstances of my case. I aut, and have been for
the last four years, a member of riherman's celebrated
battery, and under the immediate command of Cue.
It. IS. Ayers. Through the exposure attendant upkin
toy motions duties, I wan attacked in November last
with itinatnation of the lungs, and was fur seventy
two days in the hospital. This was followed by great
debility, heightened by an attack of dysentery, I was
then removed from the White House, and sent to this
city on hoard the Steamer - State of Maine," dont
which I landed on the t'S.th of .11111 E. Since that time
I have been about as low as any one could be and
e , ontain a spark of vitality. For a week or more 3
was s carcely able to swallow anything, and if I did
force a mosset down, it was immediately thrown up
again.
I could not even keep a glass of water on my stoat
ach. Life could not last under these circumstances;
and, accordingly, the physicians who had been work
ing faithfully, though un.ota essfullv, to rescue me
from the grasp of the dread Archer, frankly told me
they could do no more for me, and advised toe to am
a clergyman, and to make such disposition of my lids.
ited tunds as best suited me. An acquaintance who,
visited me at the hospital, 111 r. Frederick Steinbron,
of Sixth below Arch Street, advised me, as a forlorn:
to try your Bitters, and kindly procured a bottle.
Burin the time I commenced taking them the gloomy
shadow of death receded, and 1 am now, thank God .
for it, getting better. Though I have taken but two!
bottles, I have gained ten pounds, and I feel sanguine
of being permitted to' rejoin hay wile and daughter
Fran nolunii I have heard nothingfor eighteen months:
for. gentlemen, I ant a loyal Virginian, from the vi
cinity of Front Royal. l'o. your invaluable Bitter., I
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
dearest to me iii life. Very truly Yours,
ISAAC MALONE.
We fully concur in the truth of the above statemenk
as we had despaired of seeing our comrade, Mr. Me •
lone, restored to health.
