THE "UNION LEAGUERS."
The "Union Leak" chaps are at work al
teady here in Waynesbnrg, trying to prose
lyte Democrats to Abolitionism. Their suc
cess, we learn, is anything but flattering.
Democrats, be on your guard ! Let none
of these sneaks seduce you. Your party
is the only true Union party in the coun
try, as time has proved, and will soon
again demonstrate. Let no man, then,
desert its standard who loves the Consti
tution and Union of our. fathers.
THANKSGIVING.
in his proclamation setting apart Thurs
day, the 26th instant, to be • a day of
thanksgiving and prayer, Governor Sey
mour, of New York, makes a suggestion
in relation to the destitute families of sol
diers and sailors, which we should like to
see universally complied with. Ile says:
Let us offer fervent prayer that the re
bellion may be put down, our Union saved,
our liberty preserved, and our Constitution
and government upheld,
As a becoming proof of our thankfulness
to God, and as a proper evidence of our
gratitude to the armies and navy, I urge
our citizens to make contributions on that
day for the comfort and support of the
destitute families of those who have lost
their lives or become disabled in t:le ser
vice of their country.
In the midst of our abundance let us
remember charity to those who are in
want, and in the hour set apart for social
and religious thanksgiving and praise
within the limits of our State let us en
courage those who are engaged on distant
fields of duty by showing sympathy an d
kindneaa towards their families, which
need our aid and support.
MORE PROSCRIPTION AND INTOL-
ERA NOE.
Notwithstanding the frequent cry of the
Opposition about "no party," until the
war is over, and "rich like," we see it
stated in Republican prints that Judge
Wool:wean is to be impeached before the
next Legislature by the so-called "Union
party," (God save the country if they
were the only Union party,) and that the
Surveyor General's Office is to be abol
ished, and merely because the incumbent
is a Democrat. Col. BARR, the Surveyor
.General, says in reply to the threats of
some of his Abolition friends: "The Sur
vey,or -General was elected by the people
f or tlizgp years, and if removed before the
expiration of his term, it should be upon
other grounds than his politics. H e can ' t
help being a pemocrat, and will continue
one whether io
,Q, out of office."

nock, Esq., has been re•alected Treasurer
of Leavenworth co., *ansas. The vote
stood: Pennock, 2047; Dickinson, 611.
s ar-B. Gratz Brown and John B. Hen
derson have been elected Senators from

claims that Mr. Henderson ie a Conserv
ative, and not a Radical, as stated by the
Tribune and other RepubliCan journals.
DOWIMIAL EVAIM.
This arrant poltroon sad popinjay Lad
malicious libeller, we are told, has again
disgorged his usual quantity of filth,
slang, bombast and venom. We have not
even looked at, much less inspected, the fetid
mass the fellow his thrown off this week ,
nor shall we, for the sole reason that it
would afford him a gratification we are not
willing he should have. We trust the
vomit has been a thorough one, and will
do him good. He has a bad stomach, and
a worse heart, and his enemies, not less
than his friends, (if he has any friends,)
should congratulate themselves on the
weekly cleansing of his "innards" by this
I or any other known process.
Holding, as the Corporal does, to the
trite adage that "a lie well stuck to is as good
as the truth," we expected and predicted he
would persist in the odious and unmitiga
ted falsehoods he fabricated on the "Mes
senger" last week concerning Soldier-vo
ting, &c., and we are told he does!! And
in doing so is, of course, as sublime in
his effrontery as the witness who said a
horse concerning which he was testifying
was "sixteen feel high;" and on being in
terrogated as to whether he meant feet or'
hands, asked in surprise, "Did I say that
critter was sixteen feet high ?" "Yes."
"Well, then, I BTICN. TO IT t"
It is but natural, however, that a de
' graded and contemptible calumniator,
like this fellow Evans, who bears the
brand of LIAR as conspicuously on his
forehead as Cain carried his mark, should
try to conceal it. Nor is it astonishing
that, to relieve himself of the infamy of
coining and uttering three or four bold
faced, deliberate and malicious falsehoods, he
should multiply the number indefinitely
and until their name is umioN. It is the
invariable habit of all convicted libellers,
and only proves them utterly and irre
claimably debased and shameless. The
scorn and contempt tf all true and good
men, and "a certain looking for of judg
pient and of fiery indignation," are all
,that remain to each unblushing repro
bates.
Once more, with a kick, we dismiss the
Acurvy, up to.wil,cmr to his kennel.
DRANDAD HUED,
Our feeble old friend, BUIE foligue Hurd,
of the "Brownsville Clipper," complains
that we have stopped sending
,him the
Messenger. )5o we have. The .deplorable
degeneracy of the Clipper in interest and
sprightliness githin ,the past two. years,
superadded to the tact that it is only pub
lished about twice a month, rendered an
"even" exchange, any longer, out of the
question. On receipt, however, of 41.87,
"good and lawful money of the United
States," the "Messenger" shall resume its
weekly "illumitrations," for another year,
of the sanctum and understanding of our
benighted old friend, whose growing and
alarming dullness recalls thb old coup
let,
"From Marlborough's eyes the tears of dotage
flow,
And swift expires a driviller and a show."
NARROW ESCAPE--ANOTHER OF
"BIG JIM'S" FEATS.
We last week had occasion to allude tol
a notable circumstance that °calmed to our
big-bodied and big-hearted partner, Col.
Jennings, making brief mention of sever
al sudden and extraordinary changes
which had taken place in his appearance
and deportment. We had no idea, how
ever, that the piece of good fortune we
chronicled would lead him to "take on
airs" and "cut capers" endangering his
neck. But is this we were slightly mis
taken, as the sequel proves. Monday
morning he mounted his Morgan nag, and
undercook to ride over a bridge back of the
Messenger Office, and leading to the Cum
berland Presbyterian Church, which is
intended only for pedestrians. It is i
over a deep gully, is some 60 feet long
and 25 feet high. Oa reaching the middle
of the structure, fully one-half gave way,
precipitating horse and rider with the
falling timbers, from whiob, by some
means, they both became extricated before
reaching the ground, "Big Jim" jumping
in one direction and the horse in another,
and both landing on terra
,firma without
scratch or bruise, or any apparent injury
How they escaped without broken bones
or broken necks is matter of general sur
prise and conjecture. As good luck would
have it, "Jim" hadn't the baby along.—
Our friends will oblige us by keeping an
eye on our panne; for a few days, and
until he bee,outes settled and lucid, as we
are so engaged by our office duties as to
- be unable to keep constant watch on him.
iforThe counties of Preble, Butler and
Montgomery, which constitute the Val
landighan-, election district of Ohio, gave
bi m a majority for Governor.— Waynesburg
Messenger.
The counties named gave Brough 10,-
636, and Vallandigham 10,626—a major
ity of ten for Brough. This majority,
we admit, is small, but still, large enough
to show that the Messenger man is mis
taken, Besides, it must be remembered
that this is only the home vote. The sol
dier's vote will swell the majority to a
handsome figure.— Washington (Pa.) _Repor
ter 41 Tribune.
JThe official vote of the Vallandig
ham District is not.at hand, but the "Re
porter" may be right in the above. We
met with the statement we published in
one of our exchanges, and presuming it
to be correct, we transferred it to our cob
gums. So the inists,tr,o, if any has been
mads, is not ours. As to the soldier's
vote, it is fair to presume that it was
cast, almost unanimously, for _Waugh,
as men are not likely to face arrest and
imprisonment, if not a court-martial, for
suporting the candidate of their choice ;
and z.Ls Louisville papers chronicle, un
contradicted, the arrest of two men of an
Ohio regiment who had the temerity to
vote for Vallaniighasii in that city.

LIEUT. SOIEBUIY BELLESS.
We regret to learn that this gallant of
ficer, a Lieutenint of Co. A, 13tii Regi
ment of Pa. Cavalry, has fallen at the
poet of honor and of duty, and hie re
mains are expected to reach here in a day
or two. No particulars of his death have
been received, but it is thought he was
killed in some of the late skirmishing on
the Rappahannock. He leaves a wife and
several children.
SiorDeacon Evans should remember
the counsel of Mrs. Partington, who says,
in illustration of the proverb that "a soft
answer turneth away wrath," that "it is
better to speak paragorical of a person
than to be all the time flinging epitaphs
at him, for no good comes to nobody that
never speaks no good of no one," and that
is the Deacon's fix precisely.
ITEMS, POLITICAL AND OTHER-
WISE
AN ORDER. —The President has caused
an order to be read to the army, threat
ening the soldiers with the severest pun
ishment for speaking disrespectfully of
him. When the great Caesar declared
himself Dictator in Rome, the soldiers
were in the habit of uttering and singing
the most disgusting lampoons and scan
dals against him, but Cesar gave no or
der forbidding it. When the personali
ties became too bad for endurance, he
chose his friend Appius to write in his
defense, denying the truth of the things
uttered against him ii. the army.
SWYour opponents commit the fatal
error of supposing that they can divide
the administrariou from the government,
and support the one and discard the oth
er. No man can serve two masters.—
b'eward.
suppose that the administration should
conclude to dispense with the forms of
an election next year, and declare that a
"military necessity" existed for its con
tinuance in office indefinitely—would it
be both the administration and the gov
ernment after the 4th of March, 1865 ?
Most of its acts are as destitute of con
stitutional sanction as that would be.—
It is true "no man can terve two mas
ters." The question is whethcr service
is due to the Constitution or those who
seek to destroy it.
REPUBLICAN TREASON.—Extraordinary
development have recently been made in
the city of New York. Henry B. Stan
ton, the Deputy Collector of the Port and
other prominent Black Republican offi
cials of gr. Lincoln's have been detected
iu bhe act of sending merchandise and
suppiles, in violation of law, to the rebel
authorities at Richmond, of cqurse re
ceiving large pay and profits from Jeff
Davie' Government. Some rich expos
ures are expected. Here we have anoth
er evidence of the honesty and loyalty of
some of the Lincoln office holders.—
Nothing is too dishonorable for them to
do, if they can fill their pockets with
money.
MAJ. GEN. Mcet,l44,)r.—Que of the
most striking features of tho Russian ban
quet on Monday was the spontaneous ova
tiun to Gen. McClellan The New York
Herald says that the moment that per
sonage's name was mentioned by the
clerk who read the letter of regret, all the
guests sprang up, hurrahed, waved hand
kerchiefs and boquets, "and gave twelve
enthusiastic cheers for their favorite sol
dier." How utterly foolish it it to en
deavor to destroy the confidence of the
people in this brave soldier and patriot.
ANALGAMATION.—WendeII Phillips de
clared, last 4th at July, as follows
"Remember this, the youngest eon of
you, that ou the 4th day of July, 1863,
you heard a man say, that in the light
of all history it: virtue of every page he
ever read, he was an antalgamationist to
the utmost extent. I have no hope for
the future, as this country has no past,
and Europe has no past, but in that sub
lime mingling of races, which is God's
own method of civilizing and elevating
the world.
Serie defining the right of negroes to
the•writ of "habeas corpus," the Tribune
once said :
"It is not the Federal Government that
is the supreme authority in this confed
eracy : the real authority is in the States.
Upon all questions of personal liberty es
pecially,. the State authority is para
mount,"
The Tribune was right then, and will
be eo again on this doctrine of State
Rights, the instant its own party looses
control of the Federal•Governlnent.
TUEN AND Now.—The following passage
from Lincoln's Inaugural Address will be
read with amazement by the historian of
his Administration:
"Happily the human mind is so consti
tuted that no party can reach the audac
ity of denying any right plainly written
in the Constitution. It by mere force of
numbers, a majority should deprive a mi
nority of any clear written constitutional
right, it might, in a moral point of view,
justify revolution."
'FRE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION.-
The original draft of the Emancipation
Proclamation is for sale out West ; and
one bid has been offered of twelve bund.
red dollars for it. Some Loyal Leaguer
"hopts it may be secured for a loyal His
torical Society." Dick Turpin's com
mission to rob on the highway, which this
eccentric rascal had drawn up, and forged
the seal and signature to, recently sold in
London for two hundred and forty pounds,
just exactly the price offered for the
r://i.tocipation Proclamation.
'fE PRQI4RTM OF Ntottois3v—The Phil
adelphia Age says :
Wednesday gyening at the church of
tbd Epiphany, Rev.kitephen H. yrig,
in an address made by him, said among
other things thttt the African race was
the eibbodiment of the highest type of hu
manity, and that as the ernot,igns are su
perior to the intellect, so ia 114 Africtl.n
superior to the Caucasian.
afieliatilated postal currency will be
redeemed if less than one-fifth of the note
is missing. The Government will make
a "nice penny" at the expense of the peo
ple, by this system of repudiation.
Mr The Supreme Court of New York
has deeided that arbitrary arrests are un
constitutional, and that the President has
no store right to order theist than any
other person, neither in time of peace nor
in time of war. This is a matter so plain
that we cannot see bow any decent sane
man can for a moment:have a doubt upon
the question ; yet Republicans and their
leaders will stand up and argue in favor
of those arrests to the great disgust of
ensible men.
"BIG ratsc."—The "loyal" citizens of
Allegheny couuty, that gave Curtin -over
seven thousand majority, furnished at the
last draft 135 soldiers to "fight for the
Union." All the rest of the draft 4,068,
were exempted ! This is a picture of ab
olition "loyalty."
THE COST OF RADICALIS.II.—After ex
hausting a three years' army, after piling
upon the shoulders of the nation a debt
of two thousand millions, the President
calls for a new army and looks forward
to three more years;of eugally, costly and
destructive war. And who has made
this necessary? No one can dispute the
present need. This is the condition to
which radicalism has brought us.—Boston
Courier.
fikirThe Editor of the Mount Holly
Herald, who is himself an upright and an
honest Democrat, cannot understand
why the Republicans now make so much
of John W. Forney, since they, in former
days. held him up as a great rogue and
cheat. Well, that is just why they are
so fond or him.
WEDDINGS AND FENERALS.—An ex
change says that "it is a fact worthy of
note that since the commencement of
the rebellion more marriages have taken
place.than during any previous period of
the same duration." The same observa-
tion is true of funerals—and that's wor
thy of note, too.
'There were a" number of young
"prtriots„' in our midst, who during the
last campaign, talked eloquently about
their determination to "stand by the
soldiers in the field." Now that the
President wants them to stand by them
in a practical way, we hope they will do
it.
leirA snobbish writer in the London
Times says of the late Lord Lyndhurst,

greatnees of the Supreme Being." How

Fearful Tragedy.
The most dreadful tragedy we have re.,
for many months, is that perpetrated by
Isaac Wiler, a wealthy farmer of Clinton
township, Wayne county, ou the 20th
ult. He attacked his wife in the night
while she vvas asleep, shot her through
the brest with a gun, and mangled her
fearfully %vial a large butcher
Supposing the wife to be 'lead, he pursued
his son to kill him, after which he told his
little daughter, he would dispatch her.—
The son escaped by Jumping out of a sec
ond story window—alarmed the neighbors
and brought them to the rescue, in time
to save his sister's life. The man was w
rested. He was supposed to be laboring
under a temporary fit of insanity when be
committed the deed. The wife who was
dreadfully mangled, at last accounts, was
conscious, and hopes were entertained of{
her ultimate recovery.
