' “ 0 that mine enemy had written a book 1” cried a Scripture worthy in his anguish. Every public man writes a book nowadays; and that hookas his record. A record, to a good man, is an everlasting honor; to a dishon est man and a demagogue, it is'an everlasting disgrace. No man, and no set of men can es cape his, or their record. As well may a man attempt to avoid his shadow. In looking over the ipoord of Geo. W. Wood" ward we first become acquainted with WOODWARD THE KNOW-NOTHING 1 The sayings of Woodward the Knewnotbing may be found in Vol. 5, pages 446-7, of tbe of ficial Report of the Pennsylvania Constitution al Convention, which met in 1837 and framed the present Constitution. In that official report we find Geo. W. Woodward offering an amend ment to tbe Constitution “ to prevent any for eigners who may arrive in this State after the ,4th of Jvhj, 1841, from acquiring Ihe right to vote or ict-hold office in this (J ommomoeaUh .” * Mr. Woodward gave the following reasons for his proposition: < If It is my honest opinion that ire do but squander those privileges in conferring them upon every indi vidual who chooses to come and take them. “ Why bhould we open these great political privil eges to every'species of character that may light on our shores? They (foreigners) have no sympathy in common with u?; they bate no qualifications to render them fit recipients of IheseAiigh political priv ileges. ** J believe that, if the time has not yet come, it will speedily come, when it will be indispcnsablynec es°ary either for this body or some other body of this Stale, or of the United States, to* inquire whether it is not right to put some plan in execution by which foreignervßhould bo prevented from controlling our elections ond browbeating American citizens at the polls.” Tb»f is I hr. record, gentlemen. Quarrfcl with the record, if you please. « We now (urn to a speech made by this Geo. W. Woodward, in Independence Square, Phil adelphia, Dec. 13, 1860, and become acquaint ed uith WOODWARD THE ADVOCATE OF RE BELLION. For, on page 4 of that speech, revised by himself, we find him saying — t “ It seems to me that there most be a lime when slaveholders may fall buck upon their natural rights, and employ in defence of their slave property what ever means of protection they possess, or can com mand/' This, observe, was uttered after the secession of South Carolina, and evidently in justification of that net. But turn to page 12, where he says— *■ NEGRO SLAVERY IS AN INCAL CULABLE BLESSING V r Again, on page 13 he says— “HUMAN BONDAGE AND PROPERTY’ IN MAN IS DIVINELY SANCTIONED, IF NOT DP VINELY ORDAINED !” But it is reserved, for page 14 of the speech to make us acquainted with— WOODWARD THE DISUNIONIST! For there we find Geo. W. Woodward giving utterahce-tatfae following sentiment; “We hear itsftiH, let the South go peucably. I say, LET HER GO PEACABLY!” And this, loyal men of Tioga, is the record of a candidate for Governor of this grand old Commonwealth of ours! If you want Penn sylvania to piay into the hands of Jeff. Davis ; if you want her record for loyalty blotted out, her progress and prosperity retarded for a cen tury to come ; if you want posterity to curse you for blind, stupid cowards, —vote for that open-mouthed apologist for slavery, that un blushing advocate of TebelUon and disunion— George W. Woodward. jßat if you want the material progress, pros perity and glory of Pennsylvania to continue and increase; if you want her record for loy alty to go down to latest time unstained; if you want’to earn and receive the undying grat itude of generations to come, —vote for the man whoso forethought and unceasing labor has made Pennsylvania the right arm of the Government,, and the bulwark of freedom— ANDREW G. CRETIN. The villainy and falsehood of the Wood ward faction is fairly exemplified in the at tempt to relieve Woodward of the charge of having disfranchised the soldiers. They now declare that the decision was based upon the contested election oasebetweon the candidates for the Sheriffalty of Philadelphia. Tbis,is a pettifogging.lie. The ease upon which Judge Woodward rested his derision disfranchising the ‘soldiers of Pennsylvania, was Chase vs. Miller, Luzerne county; and the effect of the derision was to take the office of District At torney from a Republican and’give it to a Cop perhead. See stb Wright, Chase vs. Miller. THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR. Marvelous Phenomenon— Before the draft took place; it wag said by disloyal newspapers that all the Democrats -had gone to the.war. -Sines the draft has taken .place, it, is said hy disloyal newspapers that none hot the demo crats were drafted.— Exchange. That any fair proportion of the so-called De mocracy hare volunteered for the war, is all flummery. Here is a esse in point: A cen sus of the volunteers from Jackson, in this counts, shows the whole number to be 84. Of these, EIGHTY were Republicans. And a further investigation will show that the balance of the county has sent TEN Re publicans-to one Democrat, to the War., Yet, with 1,500 of our voters in the army, we ex pect to give Andie Curtin 3000 majority. Will some ardent Copperhead inform us what the “ great, unchangeable, and all-oon serving Democratic party” was about at this time last year, in this county ? Wo have ex amined the newspaper record of the local cam paign, and nowhere find that that party had any ticket in the field. True, we fihd much about "the Union party,” and “ the Union ticketand we notice the names of epiye of the present leaders of the' Copperhead faction among the engineers of “ the Union party.” But it cannot be that the “Democratic parly” in Tioga and Bradford—the virtuous; consist ent, immutable Democracy of Tioga—consent ed to assume an alias last fall! Why, that party is unchangeable, you know; add has al ways citing to its name nnder all circumstan ces! Probably it wasn’t the unsfaangcable Dem ocracy that gloried in the name and style of— “ The Union Party'Mast fall. Well? Copperheadish, friends, is not a. modern “ ism." In 1776 it flourished under tlje name of "Toryism.” In 1812 it reapppeared with the name of " Blue-lights.” In 1832 it broke out in South Carolina, and took on the name of “ Nullifiers.” In 1855-6 it assumed the name of " Border-Ruffianism." In 1860-1 it took on the cognomen “ Secessioniem” in the South, and thecoustitutionasitisandtheunionasitwae ism” in tho North, Such are a few of the mu -tatious of tbo ” immutable, adamantine, and negro-breeding Democracy.” It is a noticeable fact that those who ex claimed most vehemently against the $3OO clause of the conscription law, are anything! but backward in availing themselves of itk heneflcal operation. So agreeable is it to onr disloyal citizens, that it is now very doubtful if a single Copperhead will respond to the draft in person from this county. About four fifths of the whole number drafted in Tioga are Republicans, yet the, -Only grumbling wo have| heard so far is from Woodward men. Probably there may be some weak-kneed Re publicans who will conclude that a Government which requires personal sacrifice in its support ought nut to be perpetuated. It would bo strange if there werer'not among so many There were “ sunshine patriots,” and “ sum mer soldiers,” in th'e Revolution. One of the virtues of Copperheadiam is ex emplified in. the orthodoxy of its long line of apostles- Janies Buobnuan was a Federalist in 1812, a free-s<)iler in 1819, a pro slavery man .in 1856, and a traitor in 1861. It is not less notieable, in’-vidw of the of that party, that the Chairman of its State Com mittee, Chae. J. Biddle, is a son of Nicholas Biddle, Manager-General of the United States Bank, and daring life a hearty Hater of ye un changeable Demooracie. Chae. J. Biddle is a late convert to, Copperheadistn. Don’t Do It.— -Don’t let any loyal man go as a substitute for a drafted Copperhead. Lot the dead bury their dead. ' Mark this: You irili not find a drafted “ Copper” who is going.him salf, or sending a “ Copper” substitute. Let them go, or fork over the $3OO to Uncle Sam. If you are in favor of denying to the Union soldiers the exercise of the right of suffrage, we know of no shorter way to accomplish that thing than by voting for George W. Woodward. If you desire to see this old Commonwealth arrayed against the government and made to play second-fiddle to Jeff Davis, vote for George •W. Woodward. If you want to prolong (his war five or ten years, vote for George W. Woodward. If you want another draft or two to be made necessary, vote for Woodward. It was through the conduct of that man and bis friends-that any draft has been necessary. They discour aged enlistments, and so voted, wrote, and talked, that the rebel leaders have made two raids into this: State expecting aid from their Copperhead allfes. .If you want another raid, or a dozen of fhem, signify to the rebels your sympathy with; them by voting for Woodward. But if you hold that bearing arms in defen?e of the Government should work no forfeiture of tights and privileges to freemen if you want to clear up this war soon, with honor and credit to the nation ; if you want Pennsylvania to present an unbroken and unblotted record of loyalty to posterity —wby, vote for our true, an& tried, end loyal -Andje Ccsrur. Shakspebe foreroached this time, and com prehended the Copperhead character when he said; " What would von hare, jon.cnrs I That like not peace nor war ?

The Capture of Port Warner—The Release , -pfßart Texmeaiee—Captnre ofFort Smith. j DePABTHENTOF THE SoCTH,' Sept. 7, 1863. Maj.-Gen. H.- Wi Halleck, General-in-Chief. General: 1 have the honor to report that Fort'Wagner and Battery Gregg are ours. Last night our sappers crowned the crest of the counterscarp of Fort Wagner on its se* front, masking all its gone ; and an order wna issued to carry - the place hy assault at 9 o’clock this morning, that being the hour of low tide. About-®) o’clock last night the enemy com menced evacuating the island, and all butJS of them made their escape from Cummings Point in small boats. Captured dispatches show that Fort'Wagner was commanded by Col. Keitt of South Car olina, and garrisoned by 1,400 effective men ; and Battery Gregg by between 100 and 200. Fort Wagner is a work of the most formidable kind. Its bomb : proof shelter, capable of hold ing 1,800 men, remains intact, after the most terrible bombardment to which any work was ever subjected. We have captured 19 pieces of artillery and a large supply of excellent am munition. The City and Harbor of Charleston are now completely covered by my guns. I have the honor to be, General, very respeot fully your obedient servant, Q. A. Gillmore, Brig.-Gen. Com’ding. j Cincinnati, Sept. 10, 1863.—A dispatch to ' the Gazette, dated Knoxville, 6th, says : I The great campaign of the war is over. We are in full possession of East Tennessee—a | great, bloodless victory. The campaign was | skillfully planned and energetically executed.' Such was the rapidity of our movements that the Rebels, taken unawares, fled before ns without-,destroying property. At Loudqn they attempted to hold the bridge, but the impetu osity of the 2d Tennessee Regiment broke them to fragments. j Three steamboats, three locomotives, and aj largo number of oars were captured there. ! The whole march of our army was a perfect | ovation, and our entry into Knoxville an event j long to be remembered. - j Thousands of people of every ago, size, color, j and condition lined the way. Their shouts and fears intermingled with martial music, and joy | reigned supreme. Gen.’Burnside’s address to the soldiers and people assured them of protection, and that, wbilejustiee should bo dealt, revenge was no j part or the policy of the Government. i Leavenworth, Sept. 10, 18C3.—Official in- j telligeqce of the capture of Fort Smith, Ar kansas', reached here this evening. On the Slst ult., Gen. Blunt encamped with in two miles of Cooper and Cabell, Who had a force of 4,000 Rebels west of the fort. Next morning be marched to attack them, but they had fled. Col. Cloud chased Cabell twenty miles south, and had a brief engagement; but after a few rounds Cabell’s men fled in all db reotions. Our loss was eight wounded. Capt. Lane of the 2d Kansas Regiment was killed. The Rebels have evacuated Little Rock, and removed forty miles to Fort Washington, which they are fortifying. The siege of Charleston progresses. One of the magazines in Fort Moultrie was exploded by a shell from a Monitor, and Moultrieville was half destroyed by ft shell from the Iron aides. An assault upon Sumter by the naval forces, resulted in a repulse, with a loss to our side of 113, wounded and prisoners. [For the Agitator ] COMMON SCHOOLS. In'my last article I had occasion to remark the utter worthlessness of summer schools espe cially during the months of J-uly and August. I promised, also, if I did not change my mind within the next month, to attempt to suggest some changes whereby our school terms might be made more profitable to both pupils and teachers. l The time when the schools of a district should'cominence, and also the time when they should close, somewhat upon the number of months JT are to (be kept open, open eight jnonths ii in Welltboro, and soi county, I would rqocomfnend a four months term commencing with the first of November, with a short vacation to include the Christmas and New-Year's Holiday!; and then on com mencing the next Vreek after New Years day, so as to end by the last jst February. For the Summer term, I would roccommend that the schools should open by the .first of May, with a vacation early enough to include the Fourth of July and continuing through the greater part of July and August, the remainder of the term to be completed in September and Octo ber. Where schools are kept open but six months in the jeer, as is the case in most districts of the county, I think there are several ways of distributing the school terms preferable to the three months exclusively winter three months exclusively summer schools: First, then, it has been suggested that schools'should commence by the first of October continue three months 1 then have the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, say a vacation of two weeks, then three months more through Jan uary, February, and March. This plan has much to reccommend it, while it is liable to some objections. Such months are all favora ble to study. But little out of door employ ment can be required of children during any of this time. The same teacher may then be em ployed at least for six months, and the greater part of the pupils may thus be allowed to pur sue their studies without interruption for a greater length of time.than by any other arangement. Many positive advantages are bera combined which no one will attempt to deny. It may be urged that very small chil dren cannot always attend school during these months. I would answer: aery small children are very rarely profitable to school at any sea son of the yea?. But aS this opens a new question for discussion 1 will lay it upon the table for some future occasion. But wo must have at least two separate terms in tbe year, and 1 am inclined to think for the present tt is advisable. I most earn estly reccommend a four months term com mencing with the first week of November, so ns to complctetfae first two months just before Christmas, and then the remaining two months to follow as 'soon as convenient after New Year’s. Then for a summer term, I would have two months daring the months of May and June, to close at any rate before the Fourth of Joly. My examinations will mainly conclude be furejbe first of November, so that Directors who approve of my suggestions may have the opportunity of adopting them. V. A. Eluoti, Co. Supl. Coi**t Featts, Sept. 14ih, 1863. . ThA ‘ 1 Coppexa” Convene.— Our copper-color ed friends assembled in tbo Court House on Wednes day evening of lasi week, and " set upthe pi ns" to bo bowled down by Abe loyal men of Tioga on the 13tb day of October next, to wit: i ' j Assembly—A. H. Bacon, of Deerfield. I Prolhonotary—J. C. Bennett, of Covington. Register, Ac.—A. 8. Brewster, of Wollsboro. Treasurer—J. Q. Albeck, of Liberty. “ Commissioner—Thos. Reynolds, of Sullivan. 1 Auditors—P. P. Putnam, of CdVington, for long term, Robert Campbell, of Belmar; short term. Of these men, Messrs. Bacon, Brewster, and Albcok bare suffered end died many times that their party might live—in name. Snob examples of heroic self sacrifice, each utter forgetfulness of Self,'lore-ran, save and except in the- faction to.which they belong. And their heroism is all the more wonderful from the fact that while that party had the power tp elect, it stndionsiy refrained from putting these heroes in nomination. In this crisis they represent whatever of disloyalty may bare an existence in Tioga county; and it matters not what may be the excellence of any of those candidates as citizens. We {knew them now only as the tools of a traitorous faction, and, like poor Tray, to be mercilessly dealt for keeping, bad company. To rote for them is ,to endorse the plalform upon which they stand, and to giro aid and comfort to Jeff. Baris and his follow traitors in arms. The Convention wee presided ever by Mr. Julius Sherwood, precisely the man for the time and the oc casion. Bis speech, as we learn, wap a fair specimen of satire “ Copper,” and quite malleable and duc tile. The calling of the roll by election districts dis closed some novel facts. For instance, we learned, among other things, that Mr. M. J?.!EUlott had he come a citizen of LawrenccvilleF, where, of- course, ho will vote and practice law until further notice; that Mr. Asa P, Roberts, formerly of Covington, is now a citizen of Lawrence, where bis numerous clients will of course find him until further notice ; that Mr. R. Jenkins, formerly of Wellsboro, bad taken op his res idence in Clymer, where he is doubtless imitating Cineinnatus. There happened, too, a pleasant pass age at arms between the 'Wellsboro delegate from Lawreuceriflc and 1 the Wellsboro delegate from Cly-- mer, in which, the Wellsboro delegate from Clymer was laid put stark and stiff with a dose of yeas and nays. The contest arose upon a brief resolution, hav ’ing for its main object the appointment of Mr. Henry Sherwood a delegate to the next National Copperhead Convention. Aside from this speck of wax the pro ceedings were both harmonious and melodious. But the speeches, the two that wej beard, at least, were remarkable. We said “ speeches," whereas we should hare said " harangues," The efforts did not rise to the dignity of argument; ,nor did they get abere the slougb of misstatement of whatever is pat ent in history and present fact, or beyond tho stark dishonesty of false inference. One speaker affirmed that Got. Curtip was inefficient and corrupt, and that when the State was invaded in July Gor, Cur tin, with every effort, could not rally a’corporal's guard in defence of the State, until, Seymour sent on the New York militia ; bat be did not affirm what is notorious in 'this community, that in ’ that season of public distress hr, and his political' agtociatea, turned the cold shoulder to every attempt to send repel the invader: and this both by speech pud acTiard Whnt wonder, then, if Gov. Curtin failed to raiiy tho people a to the defence of the ,State at a day's warning, since every rebel sympathiser in and about Harrisburg, was doing bis utmost to discourage vol unteering ? Is there a pettifogger in the lansl who does not know that a man may not advantage himself of his own wrong ? Tho other harangue differed from that jnst noticed rather in degree than in kind. The first was a onc borae grocery effort at misrepresentation, while the j latter was a wholesale misrepresentation of facts, and < reckless, though deliberate, falsifications of.political history, interspersed with stale objurgations against ( the “ nigger." In fact, the speaker seemed to bo suf- ; fering from “ nigger on the brainj>nd when he returned thanks that ho was not a " nigger," it oc curred to us that the negro ban quite as great cause \ for gratitude on (hat score, perhaps, as the barangucr | himself. We shall correct the falsifications of histo- j ry indulged in by these harangners, at another time. PROCtAKTATtOK GENERAL ELECTION.

Although not disposed to favor or recommend Patent Med icines in general, through distrust of .their Ingredients and effects, I yet know of no sufficient reasons why a man may not testify to the benefits he believes himself to have re* any simple preparation, in the hope that he may thus contribute to the benefit of others. ’ ■ I do thili the more readily in regard to Hoofiauds German Bitters, prepared by t)r.C M.

I am indebted to my friend Robert Shoemaker, £sq 0 for tbs removal of this prejudice by proper tests, and fox encour agement to try them, when suffering from great and long continued debility. The use of three bottles of these Bit* ters, at the beginning of the present year, was followed by evident relief, and restoration to a degree of bodily and mental vigor which I bad not felt for six months before, and. had almost despaired of regaining. 1 therefore and my friend for directing me to the use of them.
