Gov. Cußiitt has appointed Thursday, 26th
of the present month, as a day of Thanksgiv
ing and prater.,

MELANCHOLY
S„dl fell upon his own sword; Judas bang
ed himself upon a tree ; Socrates drank hem
lock ; Cartius rode full-armed into the gulf
that cleft the Forum; Cleopatra submitted to
the venomed tooth of an asp. Other worthies
of ancient time songht refuge in voluntary
death from the sting of disappointment -or
morse, or from the infamy of selfishness, or
from the persecutions of the wicked, in more
or less noble ways.
The suicides of modern times fairly take
precedence of their predecessors. Bonaparte
fell paralysed by the rage of an ignoble ambi
tion ; the' First Charles, earlier, rushed against
“ the bossy shield ” of popular Bight, and was
dashed in pieces; sod James Buchanan, in our
own times, died from a thrust of the bare bod
kin of cowardly indecision. - This should have
finished the catalogue of suicide ; but it did
mot..
It was reserved for Geo. B. McClellan|to
stand lost and least in suicidal annals. On
the 12th of October, 1863, if we. mistake not,
this unfortunate gentleman—who bad accepted
the championship of such scoundrels as Fer
nando Wood and James Brooks, yet feebly sur
vived—rushed into print, and out of political
existence, at one and the same moment. To
be more explicit, Gen. McClellan, having con
stantly in view his candidacy for the Presiden- -
cy in 1864, and believing Mr. Woodward’s 1 po
litical calling and election sore, abandoned the
solid land upon which be stood, and took to
the single, rotten plank occupied by_Mr. Wood
ward, Mr. Vallandigham, and Jefferson Davis.
This was on the eve Of the election. After
drifting nt the mercy of the waves of popular
indignation all through tbp memorable 13th
day of October, the rotten plank and its freight
went down at precisely, 7 P. M., to be ho more
seen among aspirants for public favor.
Had this constituted the first and only exhi
bition of boyish folly on the part of the illus
trious departed, bis fate might well excite emo
tions of pity and compassion. But alas 1 from
the hour that his indiscreet friends put him for
ward us a Piesidential candidate, his course
became a series of stupendous blunders. In
fact, be was slaughtered in the house of bis
friends. Had ha been possessed of all the ex
cellences and abilities claimed for him by bis
indiscreet friends, still he must have failed to
escape the doom he lately sought and received.
By nature cautious and hesitating when he
should be daring and decided, end only daring
and decided when it is wisdom to be reticent
and discreet, this man needed the often nurs
ing and constant admonitions parents bestow
upon tbeir wayward children.
But -all experiments are valuable, without
reference to their individual results. The let
ter written by Gen. McClellan endorsing Geo.
W. Woodward and urging his election, bad a
two-fold object. He, the writer, was reputed
the idol of the army of the Potomac, whose in
valid, soldiers were about returning home to
vote. "H was natural enough, then, assuming
his popularity with the, Potomac army to be a
fact, to suppose that this last and argent ap
peal for Woodward by 1 the “ idol of the army”
would operate favorably for Woodward on the
presumed idolaters. Thus, it will at once be
seen, Gen. McClellan’s letter was intended to,
tost his power over the Potomac army, and so
measure his strength for the campaign of 1864,
not less than to benefit Woodward.
What was the effect of. that appeal? Prob
ably do man will claim that it influenced one
hundred Totes, either way. ■ The effect, then,
was, to explode the notion - that Gen. McClellan
is now, in any extended sense, a special favor
ite with the soldiers of the Potomac army, and
through this, to ruin him with the scoundrely
politicians who bad hoped to work out the sal
vation of treason through bis instrumentality.
We rejoice, that all issues are-in the hands.of
a just and beneficent Deity, to whom the mach
inations of bad men are an abomination. As
fur Man the be succeed or
fail, whether he survive o t perish, it matters
little, save to himself. All our labors and sac
rifices should be with reference to the Race;-
and the labor sacrifices addressed to any
other end, must ever turn to ashes.
Tne statement that the Woodward soldiers
were not permitted to come homo to vote, is a
sheer fabrication. All soldiers in hospital were
furloughed without questions as to their polit
ical leanings. The fact is that Woodward and
bis faction are as utterly obnoxious to a good
soldier as Jeff.. Davis and bis faction. We
think that very few Woodward men were fur
loughed,' but the reason was that there were
very few to furlough. It must be known that
no Pennsylvania soldiers were' furloughed from
the front. None but those in hospitals or on
detached service were permitted to go home.

The several States have until Jan.s to furnish
these troops by voluntary enlistment. What

WAS NEWS. -
Wa snutoroK, Oct. 30—At 9 o'clock yesterday
morning/ Major Gen. Thomas telegraphed to
the War. Department os follows:
“ Gen. Hooker was attacked at 12 o’clock
midnight, and a severe fight ensued which con
tinued fur two hours with ligbtef work until
4 a.' m.
•• Gen. Hooker reports at 7J a. tn. the con
duct of our troops to he splendid. They re
pulsed every' attack made on them and drove
the enemy from every position they assailed.
“The light took place at Brown’s Ferry, on
the Tennessee River, near Chattanooga, and
the result is considered of the highest impor
tance, as it removes the Rebel obstructions to
steamboat navigation to that point, and secures
other advantages in opening tip the way, for
army supplies.
Nashville, Oct. 29—Lookout Mountain was
taken on the 28>h by uur.troops, under Gen.'
Hooker, with the Eleventh Corps and a portion
of the Twelfth, and Palmer’s division of the
Fourth Corps. There was no serious oppo
sition.
Tberiverisnow open to Chattanooga and the
Army of the Cumberland is relieved from any
danger threatened by interrupted communica
tions.
Gen. Palmer has been promoted to the com
mand of the Fourteenth Corps over Bosseau,
Reynolds and Sheridan.
Baltimore, Oct. 30—The following letter
was received this morning by the American
from a responsible correspondent:
“Annapolis, Mn., Oct. 29—The flag of
truce boat New i York arrived at the Naval
Sshool wharf this morning, from City Point,
with 181 paroled men. Eight of that number
died on the boat, on- its way hither. They
actually starred to death.
“ Never in the whole course of my life hire
I sedn such a scene as these men presented.
They were living skeletons. Every man of
them had to ■ be sent to the hospitals', and-lhe
surgeons’ opinion is that more than one third
of them must die] being beyond the reach of
nourishment or medicine.' 1 questioned sever
al of them, and all state that their coodion has
been brought on by the treatment they have
received at the hands of the Rebels.
“ They have been kept without food, nnd ex
posed a large portion of the time without shel
ter of any. kind. To look at these poor meu
and hear their- tales of woe, as to how they
have been treated, one would not suppose they
had fallen into the hands of the Southern chiv
alry, but rather into the hands of savage bar
barians, destitute of all humanity or feeling.”

Dear Agitator ; ■ Here we are,' after a series
of Sank movements, and countermarching*, re
treats, and advnjnoes, the design of which is
better understood by our Worthy commander,
than by his veteran followers. It became a by
word among the| boys, that our numerous evo
lutions were only feints to cover the real de
sign, which, was supposed to be a general ad
vance, or a general retreat. After maneuver
ing, and ret/eating, until we bad readied the
fortifications/of Oentreville, it was conjectured
that Meade ind fallen back for the purpose of
sending more troops to Tennessee, butbefore
one week had elapsed the order was given
“ forward 1" Judge of onr surprise at thus see
ing the unanimous opinion of all scattered id
the winds, and the army of the Potomac ad
vancing in battle array, on, toward the mem
orable field of Bull Run. A superstitious hor
ror was prevalent among the troops os we ap
proached the theater of former disasters and
we were certain, from onr cautious advance,
that we were to have another round with the
Rebels on the old ground. Night came, and
the sth Corps rested on the old battle ground,
the Reserves bivonseked on the same ground
that they fought oh during the retreat of Mc-
Clellan' and Pope. Graves, and fragments of
Shell scattered here and thebe gave evidence of
an earnest and fearful conteit, while the un
covered bones of (alien comrades brought sor
rowful rec ullectiuns to mind. A private of
f e Is; Regt. j itched hi* tent near a gtave; the
next morning be found that it was the resting
place of an old comrade and messmate, who
had been reported as missing, but whose actual
fate was unknown, until his grave wasAis
covered. We were c» lei el forward in "the
morning, and were halted and moved around
until we retched our present place of encamp
ment, which is sbont eight miles from Warren
ton,and near.Cedsr Run.

Tba Richmond Enquirer on Peace.
The Richmond Enquirer of the 16th inst.'
has a long leader on “ Peace,” the perusal of
which we heartily commend to those who put
faith in the efficacy- of amnesties end negotia
otions. • It commenceawith a sucoint statement
of the only conditions to be entertained by tbe
Sooth under any circumstances. Let tbe En
quirer speak for- itself; -
• “ Save on out own terms we can accept no
peace whatever, and most fight until doomsday,
rather than. yield an iota of them, and our
terms are: Recognition by the enemy of the
Confederate States. Withdrawal of the Yan
kee forces from every foot of Confederate
ground, including - Kentucky and Missouri.
Withdrawal of tbe Yankee soldiers from Mary
land, until that State shall decide by a free
vote whether she shall remain in the old Union
or ask admission into the Confederacy. Con
sent'-on the part of the federal government to
give ap to the Confederacy its proportion of the
navy, as it stood pt the time'of secession, or to
pay for the same. Yielding ap all pretension
on the part -of the federal goverament to that
portion of tbe old Territories which lie west of
the Confederate States.- An equitable settlement
;on the basis' of our absolute independence and
equal rights of all accounts of the public debt
and public lands, and tbe advantages accruing
from foreign treaties.
“ These provisions, we apprehend, comprise
the minimum of what we rauat.require before
we lay down our arms. That is to say, the
North must yield all—we nothing. The whole
pretension of that country to prevent by force
the separation of the States, must be aband
oned, which will bo equivalent to an avowal
that our enemies were ' wrong from the first,
and, of course, as they waged a causeless aud
wicked war upon us, they ought in strict jus
tice to be required, according to usSge in such
cases, to reimburse to us the whole of our ex
penses and tosses in the course of that war."
These high-flown extracts hove the charac
teristic flavor of the speeches delivered in Con
gress a few years ago, when the bellicose fire
eaters were proclaiming the terrible things
they were going to do. All remember the pro
gramme, Confederate armies, composed of
the irresistible chivalry, and led by Southern
Napoleons, who sprouted there thickly as cot
ton stalks, were to promenade through (be rich
fields of Pennsylvania, feast awhile on the lux
uries of Philadelphia, replenish their wardrobes
from the New York tailoring shops, and finally
announce the terms of “Yankee” servitude
from the steps of Faneuil Hall, Boston. Those
times, before the first gun was fired, were the
halcyon days of the rebellion. Southern vis
ionaries amused themselves and the public with
wild fancies, that recalled the tales of the
Arabian Nights, and the exploits of giants and
giant killers. The poor “ Yankees,” for whom
such a dreadful cauldron of woes was brewing,
looked upon the seething broth with an uncon
cern that filled the concoctora of the horrible
mess with ludicrous amazement.
It was not till Northern troops had broken
down the outer gates of the Confederacy, and
proved their capacity to fight by winning sub
stantial victories, that the babbles of Southern
invincibility collapsed. Davis, with -bis asso
ciate conspirators, then left off swearing and
feasting, to try the virtues of fasting and
praying. About the same time we ceased to
bear of the sack of New York or fbfi invest
ment of Boston. The air of the Confederate
tune was pitohed on a different key. In the
place of “cravens," “hirelings,” mudsills,”
<fco., we begin to hear of “ iifvaders,” and
“ sacred homes,” and to be treated with other
pet phrases, indicative that overweening con
fidence had given way to fear.
The Enquirer condenses the philosophy of
its position in the following words ;
“Once more we say it is all or nothing.
This Confederacy or the Yankee nation, one or
the other, goes down—down to perdition. That
is to say, one or the other must forfeit its na
tional existence and lie at the feet of its mortal
enemy.” i
Further castigation vjill benefit the optics,
and improve the temper of the grandiloquent
fire eaters. Nothing except the lash will cure
their folly. —Hartford {Conn.) Courant.
TaUuudigham in Canada.
The fate of Vallandigham is that of all his
class —up to the time of the election in Ohio,
the rooms of the traitor at Windsor, Canada,
were crowded with sympathizers, who-wore
bolstering him up with their flatteries—it is
said that this lasted up to a late hour of tbs
night of election, but the next day not a single
individual ventured to cross the river to call on
the “martyr.” To pfove that the wretch was
deserving not only of banishment, but of a
higher punishment, it is only necessary to give
tho fallowing intercepted letter from him to
Col. C. D. Inshnll, of the Bth Alabama reg
iment, captured in Tennessee, nnd found
among his baggage. It was written whilst
Vallandigham was in 'tbe South, after his ban
ishment, end before leaving fur Canada:
Dear Colonel: —Your kind note and invita
tion of yesterday was this morning handed me
by yonr brother-in-law, who will hand yon this
in return. It would give me much pleasure to
visit you nnd your command before leaving the
confederacy, but it is now impossible to do so,
ns I have made arrangements to start this
morning, with the earliest train fur Wilmington.
You surmise correctly when you say that you
believe me to be the friend of the South in her
straggle for freedom. My feelings have been
publicly expressed in my own country, in that
quotation from Lord Chatham : “ My lords,
you cannot conquer America." There is not a
d op of Puritan blood in my veins. I hate,
despise and defy the tyrannical Government
which has sent me among yon, for my opin
ion’s sake, and shall never give it my support
in its ernsadenponyour institutions. But you
are mistaken when you say there are but few
such in the United States, North. Thousands
are there who would speak out but for the mil
itary despotism that strangles them,
Although the contest baa been, and will con
tinue to be, a bloody one, 'yon have but to per
severe, and the victory will surely be yours. '
You must strike, homo 1 - The defensive policy
lengthens the contest. The shortest road to
peace is the UMest one. You can hattyottr\
■terms by gaining thsbatilejm the enemy’s soil. |
Accent my kind fimyour personal -
welfare, and sincere thanks for your kind
wishes in my fcfestf, and hoping and praying
for tbe ultimate success of the cause in which;
you are .fighting,. believe. me, as ever, your
friend, C. L. ValUaSdigham. ./

That will restore them to their usual health. Snch bu been
the case in thousands of instances, and a fair trial ii but
required to prove the assertion.
From Her. J. Newton. Brown, D. D., Editor of the Encyclo
pedia of Religions Knowledge.
Although not disposed to favor or recommend'Patent Med
icines in general, tbre-ugh distrust of ttfelr ingredients aud
effects, I yet know of no sufficient reasons why a man may
not testify, to the benefits he believes himself to have re
ceived from any simple preparation, In the hope that he may
thus contribute to the benefit of others.
I do this the more readily lujegard to llooflauds German
Bitters, prepared by Dr. C M. Jackson, of this citr, becanw
I was prejudiced against them for many years, under lb*
Impression that they were chiefly an alcoholic mixture. I
am indebted to my friend Robert Shoemaker, Esq,, for the
removal of this prejudice by proper tests, and for eseoar
to try them, when suffering from great and long
Continued debility. The use of three bottles of tbess Bit
ters, at the beginning of the present year, was followed
by evident relief, and restoration to a degree of bodilv and
mental vigor which I bad not felt for,six months before, and
had almost despaired of regaining, p therefore thank God
and my friend for directing,me to the use of them.
