thunder storm,' which hot only completely
drenched ns to the akin, but the darkness, only
it waa brokenby the lur]d lightning, became
so great foat.it .was impossible to proceed far
ther. During the storm several soldiers were
struck by lightning and instantly,killed. -Nest
day our march was resumed' and continued
. with-aU possible vigor until .’Friday at 4p. wj,
when we came upon the enemy near. tbe State
Lunatic Asylum, 1} miles from the city of
Jackson, At dip- m.,Jnly lOtb.our regiment
W deployed asskirmisbers and ordered to
advance supported by, our division commanded
by Gen. Welsh in line of battle. Betweefa os
and the enemy's line was hue of those large
fields of eorh for which' thlij. part of the State
is celebrated, and the rail road. The lma of
the enemy which proved to be .cavalry, stood
firm, until considering “ discretion the better
part of valor,” took tothewpods -near by. Onr
we want,after them through the woods expect-’
ing every moment to run.opon them. It was
nearly dark and yet no e.npmy had been found
to dispute our progress-when the right of our
■ line come upon his (foe .enemy’s) pickets.—
Having discovered his portion we were ottered
,-to right wheel which bought us face to Taos
with the foe. At 10 p.:m,i we lay down on our
arms and slept until morning wltM.n.ahooflOO
yards of the enemy’s picket* Next morii[ng
' at early'dfiwn we Were entered tdadvqnce;—
■’ "I7 a were • jnst ascending. the brow of. a hill
when a volley of musketry and the ominous
sound of whistling bullets warned us to lay
low. We returned the, compliment, and firing
soon became general along the line?. The ene
my's skirmishers had tho advantage of us, be
ing under "cover of vropdtj while, we ’were ex
posed in the open field. |The weather being
• extremely hot, rendered cmr position still more
uncomfortable. After skirmishing until 11 a.
m ., having expended all W. ammunition and
-driven the enemy intn hij- rifle pits, we were
’' relieved by tbe 36* M-nfs, • The. great wonder
among others was how wd4iad occupied so ex
posed a position and sustained ■ no ’great. loss.
Everyman did hie duty,; '..Among the killed
are some of our best mem , [Their names were
■ ; published in our local column week before last]
It seemingly not being’ the intention of onr
- Generals, to bring, op a general-engagement,
. none bht skirmishers with proper support were
thrown forward. Firing with musketry 1 and
, ..artillery on both sides wts constant and some
.tlnjeaqaito brisk. Several' solid-shot fired by
Jthe enemy passed through the dfipes Story of
'the Asylum to tbe bewilderment and eoniteina
. tion of Us numerous, inmatb. On
Sunday morning We were relieved from duty
at,foe immediate front by the 2d,Division of
ourcorps. Stinday afternoon way compara
tively quiet. Monday miming the ball'opened
.briskly on both sides and;bonllnaed throughout
the day. At’l a. m., on| Tuesday, a bea'vyflh
tsil of our regiment was?'sent to foe.front —
For twenty-four hours jfe lay in reserve, foe
-next twenty-four were spent in the -rifle-pits
dug for* foe protection,of due skirmishers; our
, only duty being to holfl our position while
Sherman maneuyred,.ts surround' tbe city, j
should Johnston ■ give hjbi time. On Wednes
day afternoon the. Babels sent, over a flag of
'truce asking for a cessation of hostilities for a
few hours, 1 in order to their dead. On
Thursday another flag j® truck came over.—
Both were accepted. T|« enemy mada
desperate charges on opr right (Wfd were re
. pulsed with great.slanglfter. Thursday morn
ing we wsre relisred and took no further part
in the conflict. Thursday afternoon was unu
- anally still; Friday morning all was quiet.
News soon spread through camp that Jack
son was evacuated, the.isrey /had flown.. The
second division of our ophpsu’nder Gen. Potter
was foe first to enter We took.about
.300 prisoners, some voinntarily giving them
selves up, while many ;!were found -napping
about the bouses or in the. woods near by. ,On
being questioned ali i agreed In saying that j
Johnston’s army consists nf " about 30,000, |
■ mostly conscripts, butt®! hebould not muster
more than 20,000 effective reliable .men. Our
cavalry was sent Id pursuit, to harass his rear,
and if possible, completely rout .him before be

ANDREW G- CURTIN.
FOB JUDGE OF THE SUPREME COURT,
DANIEL AG-NEW,
OF BEAVER COUNTY. 1 *
Republican Co. Convention, Aug. 28th.
Tbe Copperhead papers are trying to pin the
loyalty of Woodward upon the sle'eves of'his
sons, in the army. Haring two sons in the
Unipn army, they argne that be mast be loyal.
Very good; that is average Copperhead logic,
which we meet'and squelch thus: John J,
Crittenden, now dead, had,two sons in-tbs reb
el army; therefore was Mj-. Crittenden a trai
tor. That would be conclusive to a copperhead,
but it does not conviifce us.
The-fact'is, Judge Woodward most be prov
ed loyal out of bis'own month, or not' at all;
A man - arraigned for felony cannot pot tbe
good character of bis children ia evidence to
raise a presumption of innocence. Oh, no 1
BY THEIH EECOKD.
Two things no man can escape— Death, and
his Record.
As men sow, they reap. There is no escape
from the consequences of wrong-doing. The
secret plotter of, and sympathizer with treason
cannot bide from the consequences of his wick
edness. Acts may he done in the darkness,
hut the consequences reveal themselves in tbs
’broad glare of noon.
It is well known, and seldom if ever denied,
that the .faction which now champions Seymour
in New York, Woodward in this State, and
Vallandigham in Ohio, did their utmost to dis
courage' enlistments last summer, and have
done their utmost to ths same end since that
time. The intention, was to cripple the Gov
ernment in the prosecution of the war. Base
as that intention was, it did not fail of its ef
fect.
It did not fail. It succeeded so well that it
was found necessary last fall to raise men by
draft. That draft being made wider State law,
the time of service was limited to nine months.
Therefore an Act ef Congress, was found neces
sary, under which /an effective army could be or
ganized. Under such an Act the present draft
‘is being made. And however disagreeable, -or
inconvenient, or hard to endure it mag prove to
the arms hearing population, lei each and every
man remember that but ftr ike discouragement
of enlistments, and the constant aid and comfort
afforded the rebels in arms by ihe'Copperhead
leaders, the necessity for the present draft, as
well as for that of last year, never could have
existed. For the draft, friends, we have to
thank the Copperhead leaders in the loyal Slates.
Last week we made free with the records of
our local Copperheads, as concerns the county
loan of $20,000. Since then we have convers
ed with many of our prominent citizens, who
have put us in possession of certain other facts
preliminary to the negociation of that loan,
which facts render the record referred to sever
al shades darker. It seems that the patting of
this loan upon the market was earnestly urged
upon the Commissioners by prominent citizens
at a public gathering in the Court Htmse. Of
those who urged the necessity of the loan, one
is now, if he was not then, a virulent Tallan
digham democrat. He was, and is, a man of
surplus means; yet we do not find his name in
the list of subscribers; nor does it appear that
he used any of his very extensive influence to
procure subscriptions from his. political asso
ciates. It is by the two-facsdnes* of such men
that the Government finds itself obliged to in
stitute Conscription to fill up its armies! And
impartial history will fix whatever of odium
may attach to tbe process, upon them.
And this class of politicians, encouraged by
their success in having brought two drafts up
on the country,-are now doing their utmost to
fan tbe flames of discontent, and otherwise to
force tbe Government to make another draft.
Snob baseness may well exceed belief; but St
reeks into an offensive existence, in all tbe
length and breadth of the north". Will men
see this baseness and avoid it as they would
shun-the pollution of hell ?
The people of the loyal States are now to be
weighed lithe balance. The man who loves
bis country because it bos heretofore required
Of him no more than the annual taxes, and who
how creeps behind his shadow, or his avarice
will occupy the scale that kicks tbe beam.
Like the man who complained of his depend
ent and' infirm mother, that she bad “ outlived
her usefulness,” ts he who begrudges service
or money to his 'Country in its extremity.
■ Show as a man who is willing to present
himself before an enlightened and critical pos
terity in the balance that kicks the beam, and
we will show yon a mab who has not cultiva
ted a healthy self-respect;. a man who exists,
thinks, and feels, only skin-deep.
It is in sickness, and in the straits' of mis
fortune that the mother clings-inost fondly to
her children. When they 'suffer, she flies to
their relief. In danger, she hastens to encir.
cle them, and hedge them about with the all
sacrificing majesty of maternal love. She
would give her life for her children.
What should we say of the ohild of such a
mother, if, when bowed with years and broken
with the cores and' anxieties which cluster a
rouud the mother's pathway, he ebould minis
ter to her barest needs grudgingly; and when
her existence was trembling in the 'balance,
should goto her aidwithbitter complaints and
''lamentations about broken rest and 'wasted 1

You would despise, ay, utterly scorn snob a
monster of ingratitude. You would avoiding
—you would fold him op" to your children os
'an evil example. You would call him. a devil.
What the mother is to the child, is the-Gov.’
eminent to the citizen. What the ingrate boy
is to the distressed mother, is the grumbling
citizen to the Government, now straggling for
existence against the powers of an organized
ingratitude as black as Night.
If any man in the North is anything to-day,
he owes it to the Government: It fostered the
schools where he obtained his bookish educa
tion ; its policy has covered the sea with'mer
chant ships which created our seaboard trade
centers, and these constitute the markets which
cause the pioneer to hew down the forest, the
farmer to plant and sow, and the broad land to
ripple with golden harvests. These ate some
of the evidences of' the paternal offioo Of the
Government toward the citizen. . Tha-heartbs
made desolate by this war were laid under the
ungrudged protection of the Government.
Now who so base ns to begrudge
of this beneficence, either in service ,pr‘in its
equivalent, when' the bepefaCtor rcquires-it?
Not many; not one, realty and'truly loyal
man. Not one, candid, thinking man, however
much it may overshadow bis pleasant'places.
We shall bear grumb]ing and unmanly com
plaint from the enemies of the Government.
And there are sneaking traitors who will look
for those cases where the blow falls most heav
ily, and where the sacrifice is great, and by
base iosinnations, and lies, will endeavor to ag
gravate the blow, and to prejudice the minds
of the conscripted against the Government.
We all understand bow certain this is to be
done, and; by whom it is to bo done. The very
existence .of Copperbeadism depends on the
practice of fraud and the dissemination of lies.
A plain, unvarnished statement of tbe.avowe'd
objects of that faction, left to make its impress
ion without note or comment, would blast that
traitorous faction as certainty as the untimely
frost blasts the growing corn: Bat its leaders
cloak their treason under a specious pretence
of loyalty. They overlay lie with lie, until
the uninitiated become bewildered, and the’
fabric of truth disappears altogether.
The nomination of Ccrti* & Agnew seems
to fire every loyal heart in die North. Gover
nor Curtin is emphatically the popular man.
He has a friend wherever you find a man who
has a soldier-son. He is a triad man. NorpanT"
can show a fairer record has
stood by the Govern wght in every trial. -jjVhon
JHToodward was counseling the people to lit the
'South go in peace, Curtin was exhorting them
to stand by the Union at all hazards.
And the unanimity with which be waa re
nominated shows that he is all-powerful in the
popular heart. He was nominated- ou.tha first
ballot by a vote of nearly three to one. But
Woodward, the polar icicle of Copperbeadiam,
received only 18 votes over all competitors. .
As for the rest, examine the platforms upon
which these men stand, ns they will be found
on the first page. One breathing fervent devo
tion to the Government, and the other maudlin
with admiration hf the Copperhead Dagon, Tal
landigham, nod reeking with bitterness against
the Government. Read and ponder.
