Despatches from the Army Of the Potomac
yesterday state that that General Lee with

Hunter, were marching on Fort Scott, and thit
'he i had.ordered Colonel Wierio move all the
farce he canid raise to "the latter place.
, Tne news from the Army of the Fotomsc is
1 exciting. For several 1 dayspset a movement
has been going on in ibe Rebel Army which
has caused considerable anxiety. Early on
Saturday morning one.OffSen. Kilpatrick's
cavalry brigades attempted a reconnoissance

PIDLIKINS
The genealogy of Pidlikins,—who was the
son of Fiddly, who was the'son of Fid, who
was the son of that venerable patriarch and
shining light of modern Democracy—Fiddly
Filgorlick, Esq. -
Tne lost surviving scion of the Filgarlick
tree, bath . hie abode in every community in
which thenecessity for jails end penitentiaries
is recognized. More especially be resides in
our midst.
His intellectual nature may be compared to
a penny dip, and the aroma of its burning to
that which proceeds from the consumptiofi of
a rancid candle.'
His birth-night was an era of remarkable
happenings. Oh that night the Hennery, of
Widow Jones was ruthlessly entered,-and des.
polled of its comeliest pallets: John Jones’s
ancient gray mare, was found deed in her stall,
with her throat out: John Smith, returning
late home from the village, was knocked down,
end robbed. Thedistrict school-house was en
tered, the books destroyed, and the furniture
smeared with filth. Next morning, being Sun
day, the Rev. Stiggins found his pdlpit occupied
by a barrel of wbiekey: Farmer Thomson had
half a hundred sheep, killed and maimed by.
doge; altogether, it was one of the most disor
derly nights recorded in neighborhood annals.
Amid such extraordinary happenings Pidli
kins entered this Chequered worldl,- As'for bis
infancy, it ; was marked by. most precocious
demonstrations. When only eight days old, it
is related of him that he wrung the-neck of hi#
mother’s favorite oat, having first tempted the
too confiding beast with a milk-sop to approach
his .cradle. When six months Sold he establish-,,
ed a reputation for more than human canning
by biting a large piece out of his mother’s ear,
under pretence of bestowing a kiss upon the
maternal cheek. On the last day of his first
twelvemonth he gave aw unmistakable-earnest
of his coming greatness by seizing a neighbor’s
child which'chanced within reach, and employ
ing its tender hand to banl a live coal from the
fire. Pidlikins tbns attained to the knowledge
that “ fire will burn,” without personal dam
age. .
Why should we •waste time in detailing the
doings of the boy Pidlikins 1 The annals of
his boyhood constitute a-record of sharp prac
tice ; and what bis preoocious youth..promised
his riper manhood most'unscrupulously per
formed. At school he' bullied the lesser boys,
as be fawned upon his moral and muscular su
periors. He, drove a brisk trade of tyranny"
and demoralization, among the small hoys. If
an orchard was to be robbed, or a pantry to be
rifled, be coaxed or bullied the little boys into
the perpetration of the, outrage!, and then ap
propriated the lion's share of the plunder. La
many other- ways he gave evidence of;bisex-'
traordinary shrewdness. . . n..
' Emerging from school, Pidlikins walked into
the front door of the office of. Siumpkins, law
yer, and bestowing a supercilious kick upon an
aged, and toothless dog that slept by the'Stove,-
set himself'about committing to memory the
titles blazoned upon the backs of the books in
the Siumpkins library. Having accomplished
this erudite feat, he stalked out at the back
door, and announced to a gaping world,that
its constitutional and legal welfare would there 4 -
after be in the keeping of Pidlikins, Attorney
and Counselor-at-law. To perfect his plan of
life, Tie'allied himself to the “ great Democratic
party,” elbowing his way np to; one of the up
per benches.
It was at this juncture that we personally bo
oame acquainted with Pidlikins. He was-dis
cussing the majesty of the 1 Constitution and the
matchless beauty of Law,, before, a highly .in
telligent audience of corner-grocery loungers,
“l Law,” said he, “ is a system of. Rewards and
punishments, intended r to screen, ’theinnocent
and preserve the constitutional'rights of the
unfortunate guilty ; also to protect Yice'ffom
the .Unconstitutional aggressions of. Virtue.
Therefore, Jet ua take,anotbec-drink,”
The logical exactitude of this deduction was
strikingly apparent to, as it was accepted by
every, inan in the crowd, save one—a. quiet, ‘in
significant looking body; who; seemed 'sober,
find had on a clean' shirt. “That,fellow,”
said Pidlikins, “ is. a hateful aristocrat,.and
most be watched.”
From this time forward we watched the bnd
ding und blosshmirtg of the gigantic mind of
Pidlikins.. In the classic seclusion of his ’ of
fice—for its seclusion was most perfect.and un
broken—be conceived, plans, for,, debauching
youth and demoralizing feeble agei . Tbis final
lyl became bis 1 'chief’business.'-Thus 1 he put
round after round,into the ladder, np which he
hoped to ascend to preferment. On the street,
and in communication with the reputable cojn
inanity, Ho ’ was einooth, condescending, and
candid ; and unsuspecting people" gave him
cfedit for Tirtii’es, to the destruction, of which
his. whole life and energy was devoted.. TVd
trembled for the peaes of society while the peo
ple secmed'to-mistake this 1 dangerons manfor
what he pretended to be, rather than for what
he was!
j. s ? on appeared that Pidlikins bad no
real growth in .public esteem: no, real growth
in anything,save in the debauchery of the con
sciences of hie victims. 1 And when he endeav
ored, to feel his way, to. preferteenVltelfound
the icy presentation of marked distruston ev
ery hand,; Repelled where he had,'expected
welcome and applaaee, he turhed’:to the work
of- demdfal&atioh with energy bpiii'of the bib
tsrheas at tineht;"
out in hu face afid ehoW balefuliy from, his
r--;;TpE yjTlOgr

When th* rebellion broke onfepidlikins, t£tso

The person ,of iPidlikinß mast'be too well
known Jo, every reader of jbia sketch to. need •
description. . Yop .have seen him eo.often du
ring the campaign ; , yon (have listened to bis
lying plausibilities until you have sickened at
the 1 oft-repeated spectacle-of turpitude.
Therefore' beware of PidUkina, young man,
as you Valiie.your reputation. >. ,
It bos been our fortune. since assuming the
rights and .exercising the privileges, of the citi
zen, to take an active part in two National and
two Gubernatorial campaigns. In eaoband all
of these oontests we haTS been opposed to the
so-called Democratic party. ; In each, and all pf
these contests that party, has pot its main de
pendence upon the promulgation of bald mis
representation and unmitigated falsehood, We'
thought it reached the acme of falsehood in;
1856; but the campaign of 1860 discovered
new, and apparently bottomless pits of false
hood, consttituting the resources of (hat party.
- But Of all the lying ever done by that party,
that which has characterized its utterances and
publications during the campaign just tended
is moat stupendous. If wanton falsehood can
damn a:soul, then the Infernal- Regions may
easily be recolonized with Pennsylvania editors
and speakers Of the Woodward Stripe. Never;
before has a party descended to' employ, each
barefaced, silly, .unnecessary an,d wanton false
hood. - We state, and without fear of success
ful contradiction, that every charge prejudicial
to the official character of Got. Curtin, made by
that party, is false, in substance and, by infer
ence, and teas so known to be by Us makers and
circulators. - And the fact that the Convention
which nominated Woodwarddid not prefers,
single oharge against Gov. Gortiu, is sufficient
evidence of its inability to substantiate any.
charge by proof. ' ,'
So much for the infamous falsehoods pat io
circulation against Gov. Curtin, on Jbe eve of
the election. - We turn to other lies as palpable.
“ Handcuffs for White men, and shoulder
elraps-for negroes I" was one. of‘the eleventh
hoar publications of the Woodwnrdites. Now
what bean of.even’ordinary intelllgencedoes
not know that, with the single -exception of •
few negro surgeons,- there is hot a commission
ed negro officer in the service! neither pan,
there bo under, thd.law. .Handcuffs, fur white’
deserters and white traitors there, most and.
should’be ; and'nonfe birt deaerlsTe and traitors
have Jet complained'. - None’other Will' e»m
jtiain.
We turn to matters nearer home. Several
Woodward speakers-have goneabont this copp .
’ty, declaring that the .Republicans pf Wellsbo
fo, thongh.ready with words to recruit oorar
mies,'when the pinch came, were ready with
neither men nor money. We take the entire
responsibility of pronouncing this statement a
sheer ’ (misrepresentation. -And r we.. state
further, for-the information of such as -may
have listened ’to it; that one, of its. circula
tors was moat vociferous in' his pledges - either
to go himself, or furnish a substitute ; yet did,
neither. And, ; another one,of these, speakers
persuaded-one individual who had promised to
go, to-Stay at’home. - And ws' state further
that every Republican vi;ht) pledged hiipself ei
ther to gd or 'eond.a.mah, within biir [knowl

provisoes. . They are' for the Union if the
Union is for Slavery. For the Union, but not
for Confiscation, Emancipation, Conscription,
or very rigid Coercion. For the Union, provided
the Democratic party is again enthroned, Sla
very reinstated, McClellan made 1 President,
and every Southern man made a Patrician in
the nation as before the Rebellion. Though
this class will denounce the South and her
mode of procedure in seceding from’the Union,
yet when pressed in argument yon-will find
they invariably justify them. As one remark
ed to me the *1 Personal Liberty Bills of the
North ate as a man with drawn fist; and as
his antagonist .is not obliged to wait for him
to strike, so the South was not obliged to wait
for tho Liberty Bills to take effect;" This is
the kind’of Union men in Kentucky; if not
supporters of the Rebellion they ore exensers
of it, and at heart sympathisers with it. I
can see no difference between'these Union men
and the-’ professed Secessionist, save that the.
latter is outspoken and honest, and the former
bidden And-reserVed. Both, when pressed, re
treat to the same position—the tyrajqny of the
North, and the justification of the Sooth, In
common with the“ Secesh" they are passionate
admirers of McClellan, Valiandigham and Gov.
Seymour. They denounce loudly, Lincoln and
every measure of his Administration’] In brief
they are’ not Union men from honest conviction ;
but are Union men from most weighty induce
ments. Many ore Union men’to make money,
many to save their property, many!|to get offi
cial appointments. : This is the secret of two
thirds of. the Unionism in; Southern I Kentucky.
Talk to them of. Union Without Slavery and you
touch a tender spot. All shrink from tbs sug
gestion as if bitten by a viper. ;
True, Bramlette carried the State by A large
majority, - but yon mast remember when be
canvassed-this part of the State ije professed
nothing bni-the greatest attachment to Slavery;
also that the .State was' under Martial Law at
the time of election, and it is easyjto conceive
what: freedom there is in election ondertfae
guardianship' of an army who threaten to

class, taking the poll hooks -as a guide, I her

therein better .representing the turn sentiments
of Kentucky,; I|,

suppression of the Rebellion at whatever cost,

very reserved; but the third an-elderly, sensi
ble, matter-offset mon, universally respected
for bis candor and uprightness,,is firm as a
rock,.'outspoken, does not fear or fail to declare
«t all 'tines and in-all-places, that his property,
