WEDNESDAY, NOV. 18. 1883-
The Fraud Proved.
That the State of Pennsylvania was car
-tied by fraud at the recent election, no
one can doubt who candidly examines
the returns, and compares them with the
vote given at previous elections. The fig
ures to prove it are thus clearly summed
up by a correspondent of Vie .elge:
The number of votes cast in the
fall of 1860, for Governor, were.... 492,606
Add to this number ten per cent
fOr natural increase, &c.,..
Total 541,866
Pennsylvania has sent to the field
about 232,000 volunteers, ac, :
of this number, we suppose, at
leastone-half have been killed,
wounded in hospitals, and in
the army, &c., which is deduced
from the vote 116,000
The vote of 1863 should not ex
ceed 425,866
Of this number the Deinocratio
party polled for Judge Woodward, 254,171
Leaving the actual Abolition vote
of 1863 171,695
Instead of which they pretend to
have polled 269,496
Excess of fraudulent votes...
It these figures are correct, they show
that, had a fair vote been given, the
State of Feensylvania would have been
carried by the Democrats by a majority
exceeding 82,000.

Since then, 145,000 have been taken as

we may safely say, were voters. This

natural increase, and we have 382,000.

A PROPHEOY---ME. CHASE.
In a private letter, says the Cincinnati
(inquirer, written the other day, Mr. Val
landigham says t "I observe that Mr.
Cliitse is making himself merry over my
exile and defeat. Well, that is all right,
too. But I remember when, a few years
ago, the name of Salmon P. Chase was
'the synonym of everything odious and
vile ; and when be was one of the leaders
of a party not numbering in the whole
United States one-tenth part as many as
the votes which I received in Ohio, at
the late election, and poor and humble
enough to be content with the crumbs
which fell from the colored people's table
at the Baker street chapel. My friend
Astines Brooks, remembers, also, when
be eloped Mr. Chase from the violence
Of mob in Dayton, and led him, all
trembling, by the arm to a place of safety.
Now, Salmon P. Chase is high in wealth
and position, clothed in purple and fine
linen, and faring sumptuously every day,
while I am the subject of his scoffs as an
-exile. But I shall live to see the time
when Mr. Chase will be rent to pieces by
the whirlwind which he has contributed
so much to raise, and made the victim of
the very mob before which he now tri
umphs and exults, as did Belshazzar at
his feast, and when 'Uncle Abe's pardon'
will be of as little value to save him as
one of 'Uncle Abe's vulgar jests.' I may
have to 'watch and wait' for the time, but
it will come, and I shall then be at home
and in honor. Let him and his friends
laugh now."
A Ba 4 Case.
'A N. Y. Times Washington special of
the sth gives the case of a widow of an of
ficer or soldier killed in battle, having
many months' back pay due him. The
widow is suddenly left without a dollar to
buy mourning or pay for the transports
tion of het; husband's remains. These
cases are of shockingly frequent occur
rence. The rejectiot. of the widow's de
mand for back pay or that of her agents
is notoriously an event of daily occur
rence in the War Department. All ap•
plicants are turned off' with the disheart
ening information that from fourteen to
sixteen months must pass away from
the time of making application before the
money can possibly be got by their rep
resentations.
BORN AGAIN. -Mr. Secretary Chase, ia
his speech at Indianopolis, said this
great nation must be "born again."—
We are afraid that it will prove a negro
baby.
But what does he mean, in fact, but
that, the nation must die? The old Gov
ernment, the old Constitution. that happy
system founded by Washington and Jeffer
son, and sustained for so many years of
prosperity and honor, must die, perish for
ever, to give place to the hybrid monster
begotten by Abolition out of War, and
having hate for its breath and fanaticism
for its food.

FURLOUGHING,
The attempt of the Abolitior.ists to de
ny that the Administration discriminated
in favor of Republicans in granting fur
loughs to soldiers immediately before the
late election in this and other States, is
only "of a piece" with their other say
ings and doings. It is an unquestionable
fact, and can be established by any num
ber of affidavits, that those who were fur
loughed were almost invariably interroga
ted as to their politics. We have the
names of four good and true men, from
this county, belonging to various regi
ments in the field, who were all catechised
on the subject, and are willing to be
sworn to the fact. Hundreds and thou
sands of statements, to this effect, can be
produced, and are waking their appear
ance in various parts of the Stote.
The following communication on the
subject is most opportune, and is from a
gentleman of high character and unitn
peachable veracity. Let everybody read
it:—
For the Messenger
FURLOUGHING SOLDIERS.
Messrs. Editors :—ln reading the last
"Republican" (to which I am a subscri
ber,) I was somewhat amused, as well as
disgusted, at its editorial in which it at
tempted to deny that there had been a
discrimination in furloughing soldiers to
come home to vote. It appears from the
Editor's own language that he would
have the honest people of Greene county
to disbelieve what is true, and and believe
that which he, as well as every holiest
man, knows to be false. In thus attempt.
ing to cover up the truth, and thereby
justify the dishonest proceedings of those
whom he wickedly follows, he made use
of the following language in speaking of
the Messenger and its Editors :
"Its fling at the Administration for dis
criminating, in granting furloughs, in fa
vor of those who support its policy, was
sufficiently rebuked on our streets by Dem
ocratic soldiers who had received fur
loughs. They proclaimed boldly and de
fiantly that any one who said they had
been questioned as to whom they would
vote for prior to getting their furlough,
was a liar, and the truth was not in him.
They hurled this slander back in the very
teeth of those who uttered it, and made
them sniffle and whine like culprit boys."
Now, Messrs. Editors, allow me to•say
to the people through the columns of
your paper that the Democratic soldiers
(at least many of them,) did say that they
were questioned concerning their politics
before obtaining their furloughs to come
home to vote.
A Sergeant of Co. A, 140th Pa. Vols.,
whose name 1 will not give at present, for
fear it might interfere with his promo
tion, (as Democrats, if they are known to
be such, are seldom promoted.) which he
fully merits on account of gallant conduct
on the field of battle, was wounded at the
battle of Gettysburg, and had been at
home in Richhill township a long time on
account of his wound ; but having recov
ered, started back to the army a few days
before the election. On seeing him back
home again so soon after his departure for
the army, my surprise led to the following
questions :
Question—How is your wounded leg?
Answer —lt is now entirely well.
Ques.—What brought you back so soon?
Ans.— I suppose I came home to vote.
Ques.—You came, then, to vote tor Cur
tin, I suppose?
Ans.-1. did not say so.
Ques.—Well, then, how did you get a
furlough ? •
Ans.—l will tell you. The Adjutant
came to ine and asked what my politics
were? I told him that I was a Union
man. He asked me if I was a supporter
of the A.diini.tration? I fold him that I
bad been supporting the Administration
for more than a ye4r. He then asked me
if I was a Curtin or a Woodward man ?
This rather got me, but I said to him if I
got a vote I will have to vote the Union
ticket clear through. The next day a
furlough came for my brother and myself.
And now we are both here, and will vote
what we regard the true Union ticket af
ter we get up to old Richhtll.
The above conversation took place i n
Waynesburg.
If you see proper to give plaaie in your
column to the above (4eta, which 1 am
willing to be qualified to, And wh i ch I
can prove, you may do so.
Very respectfully yours, 8;4.,
A SUBSCRIBER TO THE REPUBLICAN.

versation took place in my pre4ence, and
the farts set forth are true to the best of

OLD SHIP CONSTITUTION,
UN THR WAY UP SALT, .
Oct. 28th,j4kL umr .
lily Dear Friends:—.l prOWIRMI
give you, in this letter, stirnikkao-'
count of a wonierful vision one of
the old men of our company had just
before leaving home on this long and
weary voyage. Below he sends it to
the people:
My son—our first born—the object of
our dearest love and most affectionate care
—whom we had reared in the way of vir
tue, and educated with the view to an hon
ored life, was among the dead at Gettys
burg. We brought him home to that dear
hearth by which he had grown from in
fancy to young manhood ; to the home
which he had left but a few months ago
in the glow of health and the enthusiasm
of hope. We had brought him back, a
mangled corpse, with a ghastly wound or.
his fair brow—hardly to be recognized
now, even by the loving mother who had
borne him, and who had bewailed him
with unceasing lamentations.
Dead 1 And my house was filled with
the sad faces of friends and neighbors,
who had known and loved our boy, and
who came now to condole with us in the
hour of our overwhelming sorrow.
He was buried. And li returntd to a
borne which was saddened forever, to that
familiar room where, in the years that
were past, my boy bad so often, from in
taucy to manhood, sat on my knee, or by
my side. How dark it seemed! How do
lorous !
And sleep bad fled from me. My eyes,
which had refused to weep, scented as if
they were seared, and blessed slumber
came not.
All through the dreary hours—hours
which seemed ages I—of that awful night
I waited, and watched, and knew not re
pose. That long night wore ati•ay at last,
and a day fasting succeeded; and the do
lorous night came again.
As I looked out of the window to the
North, a great light, neither cf the sun,
nor moon, nor stars, bi.t brighter and
clearer than mid-duy, illuminated what
seemed a vast plain, upon which the minu
test object might be discerned with a
clearness which was wondertul.
' And as I looked, I beheld the coming
of a great host. marching to the sorrow
ful sound of muffled drums. As they came
nearer and glided past, I remarked that
there was no sound of footsteps where
they trod. Then I knew they were spec
tres, the shadows of the countless dead,
fallen iu battle. Their garments were
soiled and torn. And 1 observed, with a
shudder which thrilled horribly through
me, that the death wound was upon every
ham, and that each ghastly lace was the
face of a corpse. Great God ! Here was
an arm shot away ; and there was a gash
on the forehead ; again, an eyeball burst
with a shot; and yet again a temple crush
ed as by a blow of a gun-barrel. And
as the specter host glided by, I heard a
voice saying; "Weary, indeed, wilt thou
be gazing; for long days and days must
elapse, marching at this forced march
which thou.beholdest, ere this vast army
of the dead can pass." I turned away in
horror, and prayed that I might be spared
a spectacle which seemed to freeze the
very blood in my veins. But now I knew
as 1 hid not known before, what a multi
tude had fallen in battle.
When I looked again, the vision had
changed, and lo! in place of those griz
ly shadows, I beheld a great pool of blood.
It was so large that ships might ride on
its crimson billows, And congregate,' by
hundreds of thousands, all around the
wide circumference of its margin ; were
women, pallid and tearful, each clad iu
roles of somber blackness, and having
little children by the hands, who wept
incessantly, and gazing into their mothers
faces, called upon those who could make
no response, for their blood was in the
pool at their feet. And far beyond this
horrible pool, my gaze extended to houses
made desolate and families impoverished.
I beheld these widows in their struggle fur
bread. I could see them, chilled and shiv
ering, and crouching, in scant clothing,
over wretched embers, which imparted no
warmth, but which were all that they
could procure. And I beheld those orphan
children, squalid and wretched, uucared
for and uneducated, going down to the
haunti of vice, swept into the vortex of
crime, lor the want of the father's guid
ing and restraining blind. And I cried
out, in the bitterness of my heart, "How
long, oh! Lord, how long?" And what
shall we obtain which will repay us for
these horrid sacrifices ?"
And the voice answered : "Look to the
left cf the pool which is before thee, and
see what thou beholdest."
And I looked, and beho'd a vast grove
of trees, which were leafless and dead ; and
on the branches of the trees were huddled
myriads of unclean birds, lazily flapping
their wings and wiping what seemed to be
blood from their beaks. And underneath
was a multitude of men, crying "Blood,
blood, blood, more blood." And the voice
said : "These are the shoddy contractors,
and place holders, and money getters, and
the ungodly among the priesthood. Listen
attentively and thou mayest hear."
Anil I heard in loud and demoniac
shrieks, "prosecute the war. Down with
the peace scoundrels. No compromise.—
No adjustment. No settlement. The war
must go on. Down with the Constitution
—it is a league with hell. Cursed be the
old Union—it is a covenant with death.
Down with liberty—except for the negroes
Arm the black man. Fire the torch.—
Whet the blade. burn cities, depopulate
villages, waste plantations, take the
bread from famishing children, drive
weeping women from the roofs that
sheltered them. Steal books, steal pic
tures, steal precious plate. God is asleep.
There is no bell, neither is there a judg
ment."
And as I gazed, I cried out, "Merciful
heaven, are these men or are they devils ?
Am 1 on earth, or rather, has not the
veil been removed which hides the un
seen from this visible world? Am I not
looking upon fiends already damned?
And the voice said : "Listen yet again,
while the ungodly priests are speaking."
And I listened and heard : "A new Coin
mandinent I give unto ye, that ye hate
o•ne another. Turn your ploughshares
into swords and your pruning-hooks into
spears. Thou shalt hate thy neighbors.
Do not unto others as you would have
them do unto you. Accursed be the peace
makees. Christ was the Prince of War.
Thou shalt lie, thou shalt steal, thou
shalt bear false witness against thy
neighbor, thou shalt kill. Glory to John
Brown. Glory to the new Ration. Ho
sannabs to the new Redeemer."
Bat I could endure this impious blur
pbemy no more. Turning away, I be
held, Bitting about, beneath the unclean
birds. yet over the beads of the demoniac
crowd, a Ottawa' Rios *ith a kg,
grisly beard and a rope Most isii edit
And the voice said: "The phintom
which thou sees:, is the spirit which begets
the idolotry, the blasphemy, the fraud,
the rapine and the crime which thou bast
witnessed."
And as I beheld many famil
iar faces, though they ,seemed disturbed
with evil passions, such as avarice, ha
tred, revenge, ecc. One whom I saw was
diminutive in stature and appearance, but
be held a big book under his arm, and on
the cover of the book was inscribed,
$3OOO per annum. Avarice was his pas
sion, and he bartered his soul for gold.—
And I beheld an e:cierly man, with mark
ed features d lineaments, and iron-grey
hair, and ur ook which betokened intel
lectual power, who with strong speech
was goading the frantic multitude to yet
greater excess. He had bartered his soul
at the shrine of Ambition. And yet an
other, younger in appearance, with a
beard prematurely white, who had sold
himself for naught, and who pursued
the grizzly phantom, grasping and clutch
ing at what was at last, snadowy and un
real. And many 1 beheld, who looked
sad, and gave signs of remorse, and who
scented anxious to escape front the damn
ed beings who surrounded them.
And the voice said : "Look now to the
right and see that which is to be seen."
And I looked, and lo! a great assem
blage of men, many of whom had scrolls
in their hands, and many were bearing
banners. ('t the scrolls, some were in
scribed in golden letters: "The Constitu
tion ;" others, "Christ's Sermon on the
Mount;" others, "The Golden Rule."
On the banners I read, "Constitutional
Liberty ;" "The Union as our fathers
made it ;" "Blessed are the peace
makers," "Compromise—agree with thine
adversary while thou art in the way with
him." I observed that the eyes of the
assemblage were turned toward heaven,
and looking up I saw against the sky a
bright cross bearing the inscription which
greeted the eyes of the first Christian Em
peror of Rome, "By this sign thou shalt
conquer." And I thought 1 beheld the
heavens opening, and the spirit descend
ing like a dove. The shades of departed
statesmen and patriots and of murdered
*martyrs were hovering in the air. There
were Washington, and Webster, and Clay,
and Jackson, and Douglas; and as they
gazed upon the lett, their countenances
evinced sorrow and indignation. There,
too, were the twelve innocent men slain by
the monster ; and Mumford, who
was banged by Butler the beast, and Boll
meyer with that sad smile upon his race,
which he wore when dying. And I look
ed again to the left, and I saw that as of
ten as any one sought to get out of that
infernal circle, its denizens yelled after
him with bitter imprecations of "Traitor,"
"Dieloyal,"and similar epithets,or rushed
after him with swords, or drove him hack
with bayonets. Yet many escaped, with
great joy at their del iverance,and met with
glad welcome from the rapidiy increasing
hosts on the right.
And from the lett they incessantly call
ed and begged for deserters trom the right.
But few responded, and then only when
promised an enormous price. And these
crawled on their bellies through mire and
filth. from one asssiublage to the other.
And I noticed that their faces instantly
became blacg, and their feet cloven, an•!
their tongues forked fiery.
And the voice said : "What thou be
boldest at the North is but a counterpart
ofwhat I might show thee at the South.—
There marches a specter host. and there
curdleth a pool of blood ; and demons are
there crying for carnage and for vengeance;
there, too, is a great host, like unto that
which thou seest on the right, begging for
Union, for Peace, for Compromise, for
Constitution. But look yet again, and
thou wilt see the terrible judgments which
are in store fora people who violate the
commands of the Almighty 1"
And I beheld a brazen sky, and glaring
sun, and vegetation parched with drouth,
and springs whose fountains bad failed,
channels rocky and dry. And I saw great
multitudes of men, women and children
hurrying with parched tongues and feeble
footsteps to the great lakes and rivers, to
appease the demands of thirst. •
Hooked again, and beheld another
curse, for the green fields were smitten
with frost in the summer time, and 'it'd
ed not the harvest; arid the cattle were
dying by the wayside; and the faces of
mothers were wan and bony , and children
were crying for bread; and there was
famine in the land.
And I beheld yet another curse• For it
grew dark ; and 1 herd the rushing of
heavy wings, and 10 ! the Angel of Pesti
lence passed, crying "Wo! wo ! wo 1 to
the people accursed." And strong men
fell down and died on the highways ; and
plague spots come upon every breast, and
there was none to minister to the dying,
and none to bury the dead ; and the vul
tures grew fat and usurped the land."
And I heard a voice sayings "Vengeance
is mine, saith the Lord !"
And that which I here rehte is truth in
its very essence. And I have written it
because it is truth. And let all the peo
ple receive it as truth. And I beg and
implore all who shall read it to be instref
ed in the things which it teaches, and to
consider welt that which they do. Study
the divine book. Pray without ceasing
for heavenly guidance, And let those who
have been lured by false leaders and un
godly priests into that infernal convoca
tion over wills h the demon spirit of John

Our Army Still Moving—Lee Re
ported gone to Chattanooga—
Quarrel between North Caro
linians and Louisiana Tigers—
Another Bread Riot. •
NEW Yoix; Nov. 10,—A Tribune
special, dated Washington, 9th, says :
No considerable opposition is offered
to the onward march of the Army
of the Potomac. Yesterday the re
bels, having rapidly fallen back and
placed the Rapidan between them
and the advancing columns, a brigade
of Buford's cavalry encountered a
brigade of rebel cavalry at Waterloo
Bridge - in the morning, and after a
short fight drove them across the
river. Having orders to proceed in
another direction, the pursuit was
not followed up. Last night Bu
ford's cavalry occupied Culpepper,
and the main body of the army was
in the vicinity of Brandy Station.
To-day our advance was pushed
on and is at the Rapidan. The ene
my is on the south side, in their old
entrenchments. Our forces ure rap
idly moving upon different fords of
the Rapidan. If any determined re
sistance is to be made, it will proba
bly be in disputing the passage of
the river.
Meanwhile, reported mt.vements
are being made by another column,
in a more Southerly direction, and
the reports of K ilpatrick being in
possession of the Heights of Freder
icksburg are reiterated. Further
more, it is state _I that Lee is not with
the forces in front of Meade, but A.
P. Hill and Ewell aro in command.—
Lee is reported to have gone to Chat
tanooga.
Prisoners taken make the usual
brags of how Meade will be soon
whipped, and give out mysterious
hints as to his being drawn into a
trap. The rebels confirm the report
ed destitution of their army, and the
North Carolina troops captured de—
clare they will not again take tip
arms. The North Carolinians and
Louisiana Tigers had a fight in the
cars on their way to town upon this
topic, the former boldly saying they
were heartily sick of war, and did
not wish to be exchanged. roe lat.
ter called them poltroons, and ht
length the two parties came to
blows.
A private letter from an inmate of
Libby Prison, dated October 13th,
states that the Union prisoners re—
ceive no meat—it being impossible
for the rebels, who are starving them
selves, to supply it. Already another
bread riot, of which the Richmond
papers make na mention, has occurr—
ed. The real cause of the difficulty
is said to be the entire worthlessness
of the rebel currercy. The farmers
have grain and cattle to sell, hut not
to give away for paper rags, or to
put it within the iron grasp of the
rebel government, if they can help
it.

NEW YORK, November 11.—The
Herald has the following.—Head
quarters Army of the Potomac, Nov.
10.—Yesterday two squadrons of the
First New York dragoons, under
command of Captain Jacob W.
Knapp, attached to Buford's divis
ion, left the command at Mud Run to
reconnoiter the country in the wake
of the retreating rebels. They pro
ceeded to Culpepper, ellarged throrgh
the town, driving twice their own
number of rebels before them, rested
themselves and horses while they
took fifteen prisoners and then re
turned with their trophies to Brandy
Station
We hold Culpepper to-day, and
our lines extend to the Rapidan be
low. The railroad will be comple
ted to Bealeton to night. The road
will ba repaired as fast as the army
advances. All is quiet in front to-day,
the rebels having gone to the south
side of the Rapidan,
Burnside's Position in Danger.
The failure to receive any intelli
gence from Gen. Bnrnside is regar
ded as rather ominous, coupled with
the disaster to a small portion of his
command, as announced by Grant.—
It is so essential to the other move
ments that he should hold the posi
tion, that the sacrifice of two or
three thousand men, if necessary,
will be submitted to.
General Bragg is believed to be
marching up to Tennessee, and the
reported occupation of Loudon by
the rebels is credited. Burnside will
not fall back, however, without giv
ing the onein,y battle.
Rick Gold Mines.
A letter from Captain Fisk's expe—
dition to ascertain the best northern
route to the gold diggings, dated;
"Bannock City, Grasshopper Creek,
Idaho Territory, Oct. 6," says the
expeditidn party arrived at that
place a week previously, all well.—
The diggings near that place are
yielding SOOO,OOO per week. The
party expected to winter there, as
the road to Walla Walla (en route
for the Pacific) is almost impassible.
The writer adds that the gold mines
now being discovered in the region
are some of the richest in the world

Sr. Louis, Nov. 10.—Little Rock
advices say that Col Caldwell, with
seven hundred cavalry, entered Ar—
kadelphia, on the 28th ult. They
found the rear guard of Price's army
just leaving the town. Our forces
attacked and routed them, captur—
ing a large number of their wagons,
and taking several hundred prison—
ers. Caldwell then destroyed a
large powder mill and great quanti—
ties of stores and ammunition. He
now holds the town.
Tar CARTEL.—The rebel authori•
ties still persist in refusing to &cog
nize officers of colored mgimentain
the system of exchanges. Our' boy
eminent demands that they be in
eluded in the cartel, and all ex
change of prisoners has ceas©d until
this difference is adjusted.
Woman and two Children Burnt
to Death.
On the night of the 25th ult., a
house about two miles east of Berlin,
Somerset county, took tiro n the
kitchen. The occupants mOW 6 Mr.
Raymen, his wife and two children.
Mr. Raymen was sleeping down
stairs and got out of the house and
called for his wife, who was sleep
ing above the kitchen with the chil
dren, to knock out the sash—there
being no communication with the
other part of the house—and jump
out. She appeared at the window,
but immediately disappeared, the
floor falling in Their bones were
discovered among the ashes next
day.
Reported Disaster to Burnside.
Now that the details of a tempo
rary disaster to Burnside have been
received, there is no longer any ob
jection to alluding to the affair. It
seeing he was attacked by the rebels
at Rogersville, Hawkins county,
about fifteen miles from the Virginia
State line, and about fifty from
Knoxville, Tennessee.
Loss of Prisoners and Cannon—The
enemy were in large force, and car
ried the positions held by our forces
after a brief light, without very great
less in killed and wounded, though
we lost six hundred prisoners and
four cannon.
A Boy Hero.
