bold to intrude upon your privacy for.a short
gpacej of- time. Although at ode time, a very
regular “ Correspondent” my long silence ren
ders it necessary to anew.
Two long years of absence-has not made us
■forgetful'of the many pleasures 1 , which one en
joys at home enrrounned by old 'associates, and
it is nothing strange that-erea soldiers-begin
to evince a slight longing for bygone days.
Hardship and danger have not - only rendered
the timid, bashful boy, a stern and daring war
rior, ready to mingle in the noisy (nmolt of.
battle, almost unmindful Of peril, but it has
also perfected him for the enjoyment of Home
comforts, add when"he‘ may 1 return after his
loug apprenticeship to Uncle Sam is finished,
and the nation's honor is once more vindicated,
then he-wiii participate in various pursuits
of life, with a keener seat than before, having
by stern experience learned to distinguish be
tween - 'ease, and the toils vritiqh were need to
tal to ripen him for after life, ?
Some people affirm that tb| presenVwnr is to'
be the ruination of all the young-men who are
engaged in it, hot I oanqot entirely agree with
them. Tune, ' the army is lorit a place where
‘ morals are taught,’ neither. is' tfie low groggery
in oar northerVtowns, yet men still
at home, frequent such without
restraint.- The army is a place for a
young man who has no oommatjd of bis heart,
for he will -soon learn to plofane the name of
that Beipg whocreoted him, I .and also, to' drown
refleotioh by ponring the liquid poison
found in such'places; but the-strictly moral
-man is-safe,; the tempterpannot induce him
from the straight path, tnd ( ns .polish but
brightens the jewel, so he . tomes back purged
and still more resolute to'slidn even the ap
pearance of evili Some dtiil^p&ie-back degra
ded and a corse to society ,!f.h«t many will re
turn as bright ornaments'., Think not, fund
parent/tbst your son is going on t to ruin, fur
if he has received the right kind of training in

who watches over the fate o| nations, and still

Oh, wbat a pity 1
Tiooa county gives Andie Curtin a majority
of Ureniy-eight hundred and eighig-eeten votes.
Had not Judge Woodward disfranchised the
soldiers Tioga would have given .Andie Curtin
3600 majority.
Pennsylvania gives Curtin iveenif thousand
majority. Had' the absent soldiers been per
mitted to vote, Pennsylvania would have given
Curtin 50,000 majority.
We like the position of Tioga—sandwiched
between Brad£rd and Potter—Bradford giving
near 4000 for Curtin, and gallant little Potter

Clement L. YallandiohAm has bad ahear
ing.' • • “ Arbitrarily torn from his home,’’ as he
and bis friends allege, “ dragged before a mock
tribunal; denied a hearing in the civil courts,
be was banished from his native i State.” This
proceeding waa denounced pa {arbitrary hud
despotic by Southern, traitors and Northern
Copperheads; and so Mr. Yallandigbam took
bis case np before that august tribunal— THE
PEOPLE. I '
The case came on for final trial on Tuesday,
the 13th day of the present month. The trib
unal was one of bis own choosing. He em
ployed the most distinguished counsel to con
duct bis case. The jurors were of bis own se
lection, 400,000 in number. The verdict of
the “ mock tribunal” was overwhelmingly sus
tained—a popular majority 4 of not less than
TO,OOO, probably, having reaffirmed the sen
tence of banishment. ‘ Therefore, Clement L.
Valiandigbam is an outcast to-day, not by the
decree of a military court, not by the order of
Abraham Lincoln, but by the fair, free and em
phatic decree of the qualified voters of Ohio.
How, when sympathisers, with treason and
traitors talk of the despotic banishment of the
traitor, Valiandigbam, will they not directly,
repudiate the arbitrament of the ballot-box?
He has hod a hearing in the highest court in
the land, and that highest and most august tri
bunal has triumphantly sustained the ruling of
the court below.
There is no appeal bat to arms,- Will yon,
as you have threatened, take the case into that
tribunal f Or will yon submit; to the will of
the majority f Ton pretend to Wear the livery
of Democracy; will you abide by that element
ary law of genuine Democracy—" The people
shall rule 1” Remember, it was the repudia
tion of that law that inaugurated the present'
fearful war.
Bat Mr. Vallsndigham has enjoyed a privil
ege never before aoeorded to a “martyr,”—
The martyrs of ancient time were not permit
ted to witness the adjudication of their claims
for the immortality of fame. Some filled hon
ored, hut unstoried graves, for decades and
centuries, before the world accbrded them ad
miration and applause. Bat Yallandigbam is
the living witness of his everlasting shame.
He will go down in history as a coward, who
abandoned his country in the hoar of trial.
So much for Yallandigbam. {
Now for George W. Woo.dwnrd. his sympa
thetic friend and timid imitator.
Mr. Woodward ja a martyr to his record.
Trae, it was a matter of boast and gratulation,
among those who pat him in nomination that
he had no record. Bat every pablic man has
a record from which he can in nowise escape.
Thus, it came but that Mr. Woodward was the
the author of a scheme to disfranchise adopted
citizens, in 1837.; in the same year be made a
Jong speech in favor.of the emancipation of
the slaves of the South. In 1862 he disfran
chised the soldier absent from home fighting
for bis country. In 1860 he- declared negro
slavery to be an incalculable blessing, divinely
sanctioned ; and in the same speech be declar
ed himself in favor of letting-South Carolina
go out peacably, if at ail. He came up before
the people with this record of inconsistency,
and asked them to make him Governor of the
great-Statc of Pennsylvania, and thus endorse
that record. On the 13th day of October inst.,
the people gave him a terrible rebuke. They
refused to endorse the man and bis record, in
a thunderous No.
What has Mr. Woodward lost in the cam
paign T prestige ? no I—he had none to lose.
Political character? no!—for that was never
high. Place ? no!—for he reserved that, see
ing that a bird, mfnand is worth two in the,
bush. Wbat bakne lost, then, and in wbat re
spect is' he a martyr ?
To bis record. No man has a worse record.
Nominally a Democrat, his every public act
evinces .distrust and hatred of the workingmen
of the world. Utterly without sympathy with
the masses, at war with the primal law of De
mocracy—universal suffrage—he suffered him
self to bo put forward for the highest place in
the gift of the people of this State, and thus
invited his fate. Like Yallandigbam, he has
learned, and will receive, infamy.
Had these men triumphed, despotic Europe
would have rejoiced in the downfall of the Re
public. Her jealous rulers would have recog
nized tjieir success os an unmistakable evidence
of the decay of the nation. Their defeat will
Carry dismay to the heart of the Rebellion, and
cause England and France to pause long before
they entangle tfaemselvesin an alliance with a
revolt against liberty and law.
Knoxville most be a good place to live in.
Of 81. voters only two voted for Woodward.
Seventy-seven cheers for Knoxville ! • ■ :

We publish elsewhere the official canvass of
the county, showing Cdktin's majority to be
9887. H& majority in IB6o'was 2816—less
by 71 majority than that jnfjtgiven. The bg
gregate tote for 1863 is 6121, against 5478 in
1860—« f gain"of"643 over that’year. ‘Of this
increase 357 votes inure to the loyal, or Govern
ment party, and 286' votes to the disloyal, or
Jeff. Davis faction. The result is glorious, as
publishing to the country the fact that the fires
of freedonistill brightly glow among the moun
tain fastnesses of Tioga, and . the hearts of her
people ate indissolubly wedded to Liberty, Law,
and. Order. The country owes the loyal men of
Tioga county a debt of.gratitude. They., have
earned-and-will • receive the admiration of the
friends of'Freedom everywhere. ■ -
It would gratify ns to speak of the result in
many election districts.in an especial manner.
But as every district, with, a single' exception,
almost exceeded our most sanguine hopes, it
might seem: invidious, though not so intended.
As compared with past .results, that in Chat
ham is certainly most remarkable. But when
we look at the difficulties our friends bscMo
contend with in Bloss, Covington, Ward, find
-Liberty, the result reflects everlastings credit
upon their untiring vigilance and fabofi’’ But
from the north, south, east, and west, the re

Loyal men—that is the Union Pyramid. Is
it not a grand strnctnre ?
Sivis Union victories within as many days!
First—Gen. Sherman defeats a large rebel force
sent to cut off Rosecrans’s communication, at
Colliersviile, Tennessee. Second—Gen. Brown
defeats the rebels under Shelby, at Marshall,
Missouri, capturing all their artillery and all
their stores. Third—Gen. Warren, in com
mand of the rear guard of the army of the Po
tomac, routed an attacking force of rebels, ta-'
king five cannon, iwb stands of colors and 450
prisoners,. The remaining four victories were
won in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and lowa,
with ballots, instead of bullets, and n gain at
the stay-at-home rebels instead of the rebels in
arms. But these bloodless victories for.the
Union are not less important.
Ohio gives Brough, over Vallandigham, not
less than 75,000 majority.
Pennsylvania gives Curtin, over Woodward,
between 20,000 and 30,000 majority,
lowa gives the Republican candidate, for
Governor upward of 12,000 majority.
In Pennsylvania, we have secured the Legis
lature as well as the Governor and State Treas
urer. Nebraska, Nevada, and Colorado Terri
tories have likewise recently gone overwhelm
ingly for the Union. Baltimore has just elect
ed an entire Unconditional Union ticket.
Freemen —in tbe campaign just gloriously
closed we may all see what can be done by
united and vigorous action. . This great victory
is tbe fruit of labor among intelligent men. It
is tbe reward of vigilance and tbe triumph of
earnest, persistent, and concerted action.
, To all loyal workers, alike, tbe triumph be
longs. 'We have all been working for the com
mon good. We have gathered the first-fruits;
now let ns prepare for the triumph in 1864.
If we look for a triumph then, let us relax
not a single effort from this hour on. Let the
League fires be kept aglow, and your hearts
warmed for the work.
WAS ft EWS.
The President baa issued bis Proclamation
calling for 300,000 volunteers for three years,
or daring the war. Volunteers under this call
will receive the premium and bounty heretofore
provided by law,'and will be deducted from the
quotas of the States furnishing them, under the
next draft. And if any State, or portion of a
State, shall fail to raise its quota by volunteer
ing, a draft for the deficiency shall be made in
sacb State, or portion of a State, to commence
on the sth day of January, 1864. And' the
quotas under each draft will be assigned with
a due regard to the number of men theretofore
furnished by any State, or district, whether by
draft or by volunteering. The proclamation is
directed to the loyal people os well os to. the
Governors of the States.
We regard this call for Jnew and splendid
army to take the field as opportune. Being
pot upon the basis of volunteering, the mouths
of grumblers are effectually closed, unless they
choose to eat their own words. Let the rebel
lion be crushed by the momentum of Northern
-vigor. If a million more men/bre necessary,
then let them be put rb the haroess.
If the north'will act unitedly, these 300,000
men can be furnished before the-Sth'day of
January 1804, and thus the necessity of a draft
be obviated. But if the Seymonr-Woodward-
Yallandigbammers shall drive their old trade
of discouraging enlistments, then a draft is in
evitable. And we here record a solemn prom
ise to keep these men in view, to mark their
action in this matter, and publish their infamy
to so much of the world as we can reach; so
that the responsibility of the draft, if it ■ came,
may rest upon the shoulders of the proper par
ties.
We have news of a sharp engagement atCol
liersville, Tennessee, in which the rebels were
most beautifully thrashed, and sent off with
heavyloa.The rebels were infiace,ihiir ob
ject havingheen the interruption of Bosecrans’
communications. Tbs Paid ended in grief. :
Oar arm£save had a splendid victory in Mis
souri- Tib'rebel a large force,
was brought to bay by Gen. Brown, at Mar
shall; and after an obstinate 'fight, was routed
and' put to flight, with a loss of his artillery
and moat of bis train and small arms.
The news from the Potomac army is stirring
and suggestive. Meade has massed his army
hear Manassas, and awaits the attack of Lee,
who has been reenforced and is in motion.
The rebels made an attack upon the Second
Corps.’.the rear guard commanded by’; Gen.
Warren,'and were repulsed by him in splendid
style. We took six cannon, two flags, and 450
prisoners.
Washington is fall of rumors as to the local
ity and designs of Lee. .Wherever be may be,
and whatever be may design, Gen. Meade is
prepared for him. Abattle is imminent.
The Secession Conspiracy.
. A-letter, dated Nashville, June 26tb, to Hon.
Horace Maynard, that well-known loyalist; has
just; been, given to the public. Its facts are so
important, though well known, by every obser
ving man to be true, that we desire to lay them
before the" readers of Agitator:
Deab Sib ; I take pleasure in complying
with your request to. give the substance and, as
near os possible, the language of Mr. —,
of. Louisiana, in a conversation which occurred
between him and myself about three weeks
before the last Presidential election. I met
with Mr. —■ —, off the cars, some miles be
yond JonesborOugb, Tenn., in October, 1860.
He was then returning to his home in Louisi
ana, from the city of Washington.
By accident, I took a seat immediately be
hind the one occupied by Mr. , when he
at once turned round, and began to make in
quiries respecting the prospects.Of the different
candidates for obtaining the .electoral vote of
Tennessee. He expressed great pleasure When
‘I assured him that Breckinridge could not
possibly obtain the electoral vote of this State;
and bis reospns for it I will give yon as near as
may be in bis.own words. “1 am glad,” fays
he, “ that Mr, Bell will got the vote of Ten
nessee, although I cannot vote for him. Fam
a Douglas Democrat, and I am. hastening home
to see what can be done to prevent my State
from casting its electoral vote for Breckinridge.
I. have been in Washington since the Ist of
July, and I tell you now, sir, there is at this
moment on foot at Washington the mast dam
nable conspiracy to break up this Government
that was ever' known in any civilized country.
I do not speak from hearsay, sir, for I have
been in their caucuses almost nightly for the
last,three months, and I know the programme
from Ato Z. And it is this ; If they can by
any means ‘(which is utterly impossible) secure
a majority of the electoral votes for Breckin
ridge, then ’ the scheme os soon os be is inau
gurated and put in possession of all the re
sources of the Government, to divide the coun
try: along Mason and Dixon’s line, the Ohio
river, and 20° 3CK north to the Pacific Ocean.
In other words, they intend to cut loose from
all the free States, and 'to build up a great
slave confederacy in the South, and to accom
plish this purpose they will use all the resour
ces of the Government proper. But should
they fail in this, (as they assuredly will,) the
plan is for South Carolina to secede first—the
other cotton States are to follow. (I think be
mentioned the order in which they were •* to go
out,” bat lam not positive;) the Border States
are to be persuaded or forced to join them in
their unholy cause, and then we are to have
such a civil war os this world has never wit
nessed." He added: “ I bad hoped, until a
mpbth or six weeks ago, that Mr. Breckinridge
was ignorantof all this matter; but I have bad
evidence, as clear as the noonday sun, that be
is as deeply implicated as Yancey himself;
and more than that, Mr. Bacbanan is into their
scheme up to the eyes.”
I have given the above statement in almost
the identical language used by Mr. .
The whole affair was of so startling a nature
that it made a deep impression upon my mind,
and none of the fads have slipped my memory.
In regard to a conversation which passed
between a rebel soldier and myself, subsequent
to* the battle of Stone’s river, I can only say
that he -was advocating the propriety of raising
the black flag, and declaring that be did not
intend to take any more prisoners. I replied
|o him that war was horrible enoogh under any
circumstances, bat, if waged on the principle
be advocated, the Southern people would be re
garded as worse than savages. To this be re
plied by quoting Bishop Polk, as endorsing bis
views, saying, “ Gen. Polk told the boys, if
■hey found any trouble with the prisoners, he
(the general) would not be angry if they did
not bring them in.” Whether he professed
that be beard this from Gen. Polk, or heatd it
'from others, I do not remember.
I have written this in great haste, but feel
sole that the facts are correctly stated. I hope
it will prove satisfactory to yon.
Your friend, truly, Alfred Boss.
Rebel Estimate of the Copperbeaeda.
The Richmond DUpalch evidently under
stands our Northern Copperheads thoroughly.
It says they want to resist the Lincoln despo-,
tism, but have not the courage:
"The demonstrations of opposition to the
Lincoln Government in the Northern 'States are
of a character appropriate to that country, and
do not promise much success to those who are
engaged in the agitation. The common people
instinctively ask, “ If yon agree with the Gov
ernment that the rebellion must be crushed,
why do you oppose the Government T Why
not give it men acd money .to do what it is so
earnestly striving to do ?” The answer is most
difficult, and can hardly satisfy the masses.
We douhj not that a large portion of those in
the opposition are playing their cards cun
ningly—that they are really anxious to stop
the war; but knowing that aa unconditional
opposition to it would be so unpopular that
they could not maintain it, they make the sup
pression of the rebellion one of the planks in
their platform. This kind of political frand is
characteristic of the Yankee nation. Even
Mr. Vallandigham, whom we do. not impugn
with the common run of Northern poli
ticians, has not been consistent. In Congress
he refused to vote a dollar for the war, but still
be baa declared himself for a restoration of the
Union, either by negotiation or war. If he
could not succeed by peaceable means he has
said'that he would employ arms, and would
himself- enter the field. While we £jnbt
whether he would, if he controlled matters,
make a very vigorous war, nevertheless the
moral weight of hie position is against what
all of them call the “ rebellion.” and; therefore,
in-favor-of war andLineolu,. who is carrying
it on. Looking over the field of Northern pol
itics, then, we see not how headway Is likely
to be made against the Washington despotism.”
