Mil ELECTION, TUBS DIF, OCTOBER a Are you Assessed ? , Is your neighbor assessed ? Is your, or your neighbor’s aoh, who may be a few days past 22 years of age, end who is now to cast his first vote, assessed ? Attend to thpse things to-day. Every man who has not paid a State and County tax within two years, mast be-assessed on or before SATURDAY, Oct. 3. Will you see to it that Curtin loses no votes by neglect of this duty ? Take notice, ye who expend your breath in grumbling about the unconstitutionality of the drafting law. Judge Cadwalader, of the Uni ted States Court in Philadelphia, a life-long Democrat, has delivered an elaborate opinion, in which be clearly and directly affirms the constitutionality of the conscription law. . Can good democrats hesitate to yield a fall an ear nest support to the Government, In view of this decision by one of their chiefest public men ? After balf-a-century of almost absolute con trol of the Government, the Democratic party left it in the grasp of a gigantic rebellion. If there is any man In Pennsylvania who wishes to restore the reins of power to such a party as that, he should vote for George W. Woodward. That is the questien to be decided by the free men of Pennsylvania on the I3th of October. Fexe.vds, shall we Warn you to beware of lies, and spurious tickets, on the day of elec tion? You know that the Woodwardite lead ers are as unscrupulous as very devils. Look oat for them. If they lie, expose them. As for tickets—the ticket at the head of this paper is Che ticket to be voted by loyal men in Tioga County. Cut it out, and tost the tickets circu lated by it. ' ' , THE TICKETS will he circulated next week. In every election district the Executive Committees of the Leagues should cut, fold, and carefully tie up in setts, every ballot that is to be cast on election day. Don’t wait until election day morning before you do this impor tant work.. Do it beforehand, and keep a re serve of full setts on band in case of accident. NINE BALLOTS MAKE A FULL SETT. EXAMINE YOUR TICKETS before voting. SEE THAT EVERY LOYAL CANDIDATE’S name is represented in your sett of ballots. Look et the facts: A few weeks ago, a man wearing the uniform of a Union soldier, went into the hotel at Fait Brook, and asked for re freshment and lodging for the night. The pro prietor insolently replied—“ None pf Abe Lin coln’s hirelings can eat or sleep under my ropf.” “ Very well,’ 1 returned the soldier, “ I have slept out of doors before now, and can do it again." The bystanders, ashamed to seem to endorse such an exhibition of sympathy with treason, took the proprietor aside, and told him that he did not- know the applicant, and. that it was not good policy to offend so glaringly against the common of hospitality. The traitor ous landlord finally softened down and begged the soldier to consider the whole thing os a lit tle joke. That landlord is one of the noisiest Wood ward .men in Tioga county. And be does the will of that Corporation which last winter ex hibited itself all over Tioga county as the pe culiar friend of the people of Tioga county. Oar chief regret is, that that exhibition is not to be repeated. It received pretty good jus tice, but it deserves distinguished justice. Again ; We have a brief report of a meet ing lately held in this county in the interest of Geo. W. Woodward in and Jeff. Davis in general. The principal speaker, de clared himself for “ a vigorous prosecution of the .war.” Now it is susceptible of proof that this man has systematically discouraged the filling up of the wasted ranks of the army, and that he turned a cold shoulder to every effort made to raise troops for the emergency when Gov. Curtin called for them to repel the inva sion of Lee, in June last. We have some where seen his,case stated,' like this: 1. 1 go in for a vigorous prosecution of the war. 2. X am opposed to all measures for prosecuting the war. The creed fits him exactly. And this same advocate of a vigorous prose cution of the war was one,of the most earnest (apparently) advocates of the county loan of $20,000, pot in market last year, to enconrage volunteering, and to provide for the families of volunteers. But neither bis name,, nor the names of his fellow-stumpers for Woodward, THE TIOGA COUNTS AGITATOR appear in the list of subscribers to that loan* Bnt mark the platform upon which the Cop perhead county ticket stands: Like that from which the Woodward icicle depends,, it, contains not one word in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war. These fellows are demagogues. To the service of an ambition as towering as Lucifer's, they bring the low cunning and dis gusting trickery of pot-house politicians. These are some of thy mouthpieces, 0 im maculate Woodward 1 , Suppose it were left with Jefferson Davis to decide who should be elected Governor of the State of Pennsylvania on the 13th day of Oc tober, for whom, think jyou, would that arch traitor decide? I Would he declare in favor of a man whose time and great energies have been given to the work of extinguishing the rebellion? a man who has been the right arm of the Government from the very outset of |the war, and who is to day the most honored among loyal Governors, as be is bated by traitors every where ? You very well know that Jeff. Davis would never decide in favor of Andhew 6. Curtin. You know this as you know every self-evident fact. But it is not in the nature of circumstances that'Jeff Davis should be an uninterested spec tator of tbe'cantest between Andrew G. Curtin and the loyal Republicans and Democrats on the one hand, and George W. Woodward and the Copperheads on thle other. Jeff. Davis has a choice. lie desires the election ot George W. Woodward. This man Waodward declared for Jeff. Davis’s bastard Confederacy in bis speech of December, 1860. He declared in that effort that wo of the North must arise and reassert the rights of the slaveholder; and that a time might arrive when the slaveholder might ap peal to the sword to protect himself in the pos session of his property ; and that, in the opin ion of some jof the States, that time was then come. As a matter of coarse, then, Jeff. Davis will desirff the election of .Woodward, who in the beginning, publicly proclaimed himself the champion of Secession, Freemen, we have to please Abraham Lin coln, or Jeff Davis, wfien we deposit our votes on the ,13th of October;. Can loyal men hesi tate whom to please? On the 4th page, ai the head of the 3d ool umn, our readers will; find an advertisement of proposed amendments to the State Constitu tion. One, and the most important of these proposed amendments, is intended to restore the elective franchise (o .the men who have ta ken a musket and gone to the field in defence of the country. In nther words, this proposed amendment gives baotf to the soldier the right of voting, which right' was taken from him by the partisan decision of Judge Woodward, the Copperhead candidate; for Governor of Penn sylvania. We shall print tickets to, be voted by the voters of Tioga, upon the proposition to give to the soldiers the right to vote ; and wb shall print only affirmative tickets. The ballot will be beaded—“ Amendments to the Constitution” —and beneath the heading—“ For the amend ments.” We shall print none hut affirmative tickets, because no friend of the soldier will vote any other ; and for the enemies of the sol dier, bullets are more;appropriate than ballots. The friends of the Government are expected to be active and interested in the matter. As Judge Woodward has' decided that it is uncon stitutional fur the soldier to vote, let us amend the Constitution, and so make his right to vote clear beyond question. And, as the Woodward men say that they wish it was constitutional for the soldiers to vote, there will, of course, be no opposition to the amendments. Will somebody explain to us why the law of 1839, permitting soldiers to vote, was not declared unconstitutional at the time the Mex ican volunteers were voting ? Was it because they were fighting in the interest of slavery and so entitled to enjoy peculiar privileges? • Was the constitutionality of that law ever questioned until the army vote of 1801 reveal ed the significant fact that five-sixths of the soldiers were Republicans ? It was never ques tioned until then. THE BATTLE NEAR CHATTANOOGA. On Saturday, the 18th, a demonstration was made by the rebels in strong force, which ap pears to have been repelled by the force under General Thomas with advantage on the Federal side. On Sunday an. engagement commenced late in the morning. The first gun was fired at,9 A. M., but no considerable firing took place till 10 o’clock. Previous to. this, General Rose crana rode along the-whole length of our lines. Soon after the battle commenced Gen. Thomas, who held, the left, began to call for reinforce ments. At about noon-word came that be had been forced to retire The second line of rein forcementa were then sent to him. General McCook's whole corps, which was on the right and as a reserve in the centre* was sent to his assistance. Wood, of Crittenden’s Corps, and Van Cleve, who held- the front centre, was also ordered to the left, Iwben the fury of the can nonading showed tlhat the rebel force was massed. Their places were filled by Davis and Sheridan of McCook's Corps. But hardly bad these divisions taken their places in. the line when the rebel fire, which had slackened*hurst out in immense volleys upon the centre. - This lasted about twenty minutes, and then Van Cleve, on Thomas’ right, was Seen to give way, but in tolerable order; soon’after whielf the Knee of Sheridan and Davie broke in disorder, borne down by thd* enemy's columns, said to have consisted of Polkas corps. These two were the only divisions thrown into much dis order. Those of Negly and Van Cleve were thrown into confusion, butsoon rallied and held their places, the firdt on the left, and thegecond on the right of Thomas’ corps. Davis aud lute in the day succeeded in rallying about 8,000 of-their forces, and joined General Thomas, who, finding himself cut off. from the right, brought his his divisions into position for independent fighting, bis line assuming the ford) of a borse-sboe along the crest of a wood ed ridge. fiejwas sopn'joined by Gen. Gran ger, from Roseville, witlfa division of Me , Cock’s and Stodmau’s "divisiah, and with these i forces'firmly maintained the- fight until after dark. Our forces were as immovable as the rocks they stood on. The enemy repeatedly burled against them the derise oolunms which had ranted Davis and Sheridan in the morning, bat every onset was repulsed with dreadful slaughter. Palling first on one and tben on 'another point of our lines, the rebels for bouts vainly sought.to break-them. 1 Gen.'Thomas seemed to have filled every soldier with his own unconquerable firmness, and Gen. Granger, his bat torn by bullets, rode like n lion wherever the combat was the hottest. Every division commander bore himself gloriously, and among them, Generals Turcbin, Dozen, and Parker, especially distinguished .themselves. General Turcbin charged through the rebel line with the bayonet, and being surrounded, forced his way back again. - -General Parker, also, bad two horses shot under hip on Saturday. Forming hia men in one line, he made them He down until the enemy was close upon them, when suddenly they rose and delivered their fire with such effect that the assaulting column fell back in confusion, leading the ground covered with killed. When night fell this body of heroes stood, on the same ground occupied by them in the morning, their spirits being unbroken. Our losses are not yet estimated. Gen. Thomas telegraphed on Monday forenoon that the troops are in high spirits. He brought off all his wounded. Of the sick and wounded at Crawfish Spring, including one main field hospital, nearly all had been brought away. - The number of prisoners taken by the enemy will hardly surpass 2,000, besides the wounded, of which not more than 1,000 could have fallen into their hands. Of the rebel prisoners, we have already sent 1,300 to Nashville.. Of our losses in artillery, most of them were occasioned because the horses had all been killed. ' General Thomas retired to Bossville on Sun day night, after the battle had closed. Gen. Bosecrans bad issued orders for all his troops to be at Chattanooga. In the last two askaultsour troops fought with bayonets, their ammunition being exhausted. Washington, Sept. 29 A dispatch to the Republican which left Kosecrau’s headquarters Sunday afternoon, announced that he occupies a natural stronghold from which he cannot be removed, and tbat the enemy has made no at tack since the 21st. The good news received from Gen.,Bosecrans is interpreted by the official organ this morning to mean that reinforcements have reached him, and that he may soon decide when be shall re sume the offensive. It is stated that the resignation of General Burnside has been accepted. DON’T YOU WISH THE SOL DIERS GOULD VOTE ; 0 YE COPPERHEADS? IS THIS THUNDER?
