PETERS, of Mainsimrg. _ To the True Men of Tioga County. the honor of working shoulder to shonlder in the past, it may seem unnecessary to urge .the great importance.of the election to be held on the second Tuesday of October. But the in fluence of that election open the Presidential election in November must be considerable. In fact, if wo do our whole duty, we must get out as full a Vote as we did last year. This can be done if every true Union man does his whole duty. | We can speak hnt for one man. We say for him that he has stripped for the work, and will not spare either time or labor until the closing of the polls on the second Tuesday of October. And we know of a dozen more of the same 'mind and determination. But this is not enough to secure the desired end. Xu the past, the masses have been work ers in this county. They are now required to once more give their earnest and untiring en ergies to the great work. We appeal to the consciences of all who are reckoned true patriots ; not to your pride, not to your self-interest, for these are secondary as motives; hnt to your consciences, because the contest involves the performance of the most sacred public duty, and must be waged for con science' sake. A great responsibility is laid upon every soul in the Union strongholds. Every Repub lican is charged with a great and important la bor. He is not to be discharged from that re sponsibility by the cast of his vote, simply. Ho must perform constant labor during the 30 days that lie between us and the 11th of Octo ber. work, cannot ha avoided without a erimtodl betrayal of the cause of Union and permanent peace. ‘ -. Bui we must work together. To attain a com mon-object men must work-in concert. We must organize by school districts. Every boro’ and township, at least, must have its earnestly active League. ■ - ’ "’ j . And there is but one way to accomplish this good work ; that is for the active men in every neighborhood to get together without delay and organize.' If they do so immediately,'they can use'the plan published last week as a basis of organization. Then report the fact, and - the officers to us for publication. - • ' Friends, thisougbtto be regarded as a labor 1 of love by every patriot* For one, wdo most entirely so regard it. The vital interests of the republic are at-stake, To fall back in this emergency is to indelibly blot the glorious rec ord of Tioga county,.and to cover ns all with shame.-, It is riot a question of c, simple majority in Tioga that we have to meet; no man doubts the giving of a large majority. -The question is— shall tee tee poll our Hell strength as tee did last fall? Are you ready for that question? /We ate re ! ady for it. We shall argue it as one who has no higher ambition than to serve our common country. So far .as we are con cerned, the arguments shall be in the nature of utai£mlttibg labor, and inch words as a lively comprehension of the interests at stake Way inspire. the tioca county agitatok. ■\Ve do not assume to epeak for others. If they do their duly, their actions will speak for them. If they-fail ns in this hour of slern trial, they will be held to answer at the bar of conscience, and later, at the bar of public opin- .Bat the indications now art'that every matt will do his duty, from this day forward. The loyal men of Tioga cannot afford to lose their repute for energy and, determination. . The State Central Committee have made a draft upon Tioga for the majority she gave Car tin lost fall, to be repeated in October. That Committee expects Tioga to give Abraham Lincoln not less than 2000 majority in Novem ber. Tioga can honor these drafts upon her pat riotism if etery man does his duly. The result of the Congressional Conference which was appointed to meet at Williamsport on'tbe Bth inst.j is generally known as a fact. The circumstances which led to that result are not generally known. We purpose, to relate the prominent facts in the case, ijoping and believing, that if will never become neces sary'to publish "details in justification of the course pursued by the Conferees from Tioga county. SEPT. 14, 1864. The principal facts in the case, as we know from observation and otherwise, are as follows: The Tioga Conferees wont to "Williamsport to secure the nomlnation of the man'presented by the Convention. They considered themselves instructed to insist upon the claims of Tioga to the member. This was, and is, the tone of public sentiment in this county, as acknowl edged on all bands. For ene, we believed that Mr. Armstrong would at once withdraw when the facts and the state of public sentiment in this county should he candidly laid before him. Accordingly, a delegation from this county," consisting of the Conferees and two other gen tlemen, wailed upon Mr. Armstrong Thursday morning, and made a .statement of the facts al luded to. Tbe interview,was protracted.; and every argument .for the recognition of the claims of thiateoonty was brought forward. | . But without, avail. Mr ..Armstrong, while admitting the paramount claims of Tiogij-in ef fect, did not feel at liberty to withdraw. Ho fell' back upon the' fact that Lycoming and Clinton had instructed for him, and alleged that a majority of tbe uninstfnoted delegates from Potter and Center were also favorable to his nomination. Neither he nor bis friends de-. nied the counter allegation, that the counties below the mountains would give from 1500 to 1800 majority against him, and that The Union candidate would" be elected, if at .all, by the votes of Tioga and Potter. This Interview ended, the Uninstrnoted Con-" ferees from, Potter and Center were invited to jneet in friendly consultation -with those from were fully set forth to tfietn. facT{6a?Be had lost prestige in Tioga by jus defeat in ’62, was urgcdupon their consideration, as it had already been urged upon his. They stated that they wished to go for the strongest man. They were then asked to indicate their choice. They declined. They were then asked to state their objections to Mr. Wilson. They each and all stated that Mr. Wilson was entirely unob jectionable ; .and further, that they knew of no man in the district who would run stronger. Under these circumstances, no objection" be ing offered to the candidate presented by Tioga -—and the intention to force the nomination of Mr. Armstrong .at all hazards being unmistat ablo—the Tioga conferees refused to go into Conference, and thus become bound by its ac tion. With Mr. Armstrong, they regarded defeat as certain; and it was thought better to risk such a calamity in defence of acknowledg ed rights, tbepa to suffer it to follow upon a weak submission to what every true man feels to be flagrant wrong. Entirely endorsing the action of our conferees, we retain Mr. Wilson’s name at the bead of our local ticket, end shall cordially and earnestly labor for bis election. Every qualified voter now serving in the army from Tioga connty, shonld be at once as-, sessed in the election district in which, if at home, he would be entitled to vote. The law requires every assessor do asssess and return, in the usual' manner, a tax of ten cents upon every non-commissioned officer and private in i the military service of the State, or of the Uni ted States, ip the army; any omitted names ‘ to be added by the assessors to the assessments and. lists of voters, on the application, of. any citizen of the election district where such sold iers would vote if not in the service. No other personal taxes to be assessed upon anch non commissioned officers and privates while in the service. Assessors are required, to give'certlfi : cates of the assessment of snob soldiers upon demand of any citizen of the election district. And either the collector of the district, or the county treasurer, is required to receive said assessed lax from any person presenting the assessor’s certificate. If the name of any sol dier is borne- upon the assessment books and tax duplicates, the collector or- connty treasu rer are. to reoeivo. and receipt the tax without the assessor’s certificate, .whoever may tender the money. Any ossessor or- collector neglecting or refusing to comply with ’ these provisions, is punishable by fine pf not less than twenty, nor more than two hundred dol lars, for every offence. Now will our friends in every district set about this work without delay f I B further comment necessary ? Sous people were credulous enough to be lieve that McClellan would refase fo ran on the Chicago platform. The fallacy of their belief is apparent since his letter, accepting the nom ination has appeared. He talks alfaronad the white-feather platform; but does not repudiate it. So, he stands: upon a'peace platform ask teg support as b war dettoorat. . Q« before* in the practicability of coercing the rebellions States back into the Dnion. ,Ilia platform re pudiates coercion". ~ So ho is at variance with’ tbs platform which foreshadows the policy he ia expected to adopt if elected. Really, this reminds us of the old farce of" .'‘Buchanan, Breckenridge, and Free Kansas,"”' which Border Ruffian Democracy played out in Potter county in 1866. It won’t do,'Messrs. Yailandigbam & Co. A war candidate on a-, flag of truce platform ia just a trifle too bare faced. Try some shrewder game. ALL HAIL VERM GIT! . The Green Mountain State has fairly outvo ted herself this time. At her State election, held on the 6th, she elected the entire Repub lican State iioket by about 20,000 majority, all Republican Congressmen, and a legislature al most unanimously Republican. Very good for Vermont.. Do it again ! This is a gain of about .3000 over, the last year’s majority. .Treason cannot flourish in a mountainous country. Hurrah for the moun tains 1 What a heap of trouble might he avoided if the yonng roosters would but wait for tbe old cooks to crow before crowing themselves! Our friend of the Honesdale Herald made his crow too soon. : Ho says he discovers the “blessed rays of peace” in the Chicago nominations; and that" when the soldiers once become aware of their condition,. “ wo to the fanatics who shall again attempt to lead them into, deadly conflict!” We-suspect that our friend wrote that in view of the fact thnt'Honesdale has not .filled its quota, and is not progressing to that end. But be may as well learn that the sold: iers do not sport the white feather worn by the managersiof the Chicago Convention. > Still, tbe assertion that it will fare ill With whomsoever shall attempt to lead the army in to deadly "conflict, takes on significance in view of -the attempt to make McClellan Commander- In-Chief.- "It is well known that this paper Gen eral never yet led bis soldiers into deadly con flict". He sent Rosecrans, Hooker, and Burn side ahead to do tbe fighting, while he followed at bis leisure. ; The Vallandighammers occupy a most un comfortable position. If Grant whips Lee, os Sherman has successively whipped Johnston and Hood, there is not a ghost of. a chance for McClellan. So it ia not to be wondered at that Vic. Piolette, an aspirant for a seat in tbe next Congress from the Bradford district, was heard to remark in the streets of Towanda the other.day, that "all there ia now. to be feared i« that Grant,may whin .Lee. and taka Rich mond before the election. Tbe success of Onr arms would undoubtedly be favorable to the re-election of Mr. Lincoln, as it would likewise greatly benefit tbe country. This shows the success of tbe cause and of the Union nominees to bejidentioal. * On the other hand, jevery disaster to opr ar mies will be followed! by a corresponding rise in McClellan stock. And this shows tbo infer ests of the rebel chiefs and of the .Copperheads to be identical. Not a sory flattering statement of fact, but not the less a fact. WAS NEWS. Washington, Sept. 10.1864—9 p.m. To Maj.-Gbn. Dix : — This department has ‘ received dispatches from Gen. Sherman down to 10 o’clock yesterday morning.

GILLEM, , The following is a letter from Lieut.-Gen’l. Grant, to Hon. E. B. Washburne, dated Head quarters Army of the United States, City Point,Va., August, 16,1864: Deab Sir; I state to all citizens, who visit me that all we want now to ensure an early early restoration of the Union is' a determined unity of sentiment North. The Rebels hove now in their ranks their last man. The little boys and old men are guarding prisoners, guarding railroad bridges, and forming a good part of tbeir garrisons for entrenched positions. A man lost by them cannot be replaced. They have robbed alike the cradle "and the grave to get their present* force. Besides what they lose in frequent skirmishes and bottles, they ore now losing from desertions and other caus es at least one regiment per day. With this drain upon them the end is not far distant if we only be true to ourselves. Their only hope now is in a divided North. This might give them re-enforcements from Tennesssee, KenJ tn'oky, Maryland and Missouri, while'it would weaken us. With tho draft quietly 'enforced, the enemy would become despondent and would make-but little resistance. I have no doubt but the enemy are exceedingly' apxious to hold oat until after the Presidential election. They have many hopes from its effects. They hope a counter revolution; they hope election of a Peace candidate, in fact, like Micawber, they hope for something -to torn Up.Oor peace friends if they expect peace front sepa ration, ore much mistaken. It would be but the beginning of war, with thousands of Northern men joining the South because of p,ur disgrace in allowing separation.. To have “pence on any terms," the South would de mand the restoration of their slaves already freed. They would demand immediately for losses" sustained, and they would demand a treaty' which, would, make the .North slave hunters for the South. They would demand pay or the restoration of every slave escaping to the North. Yours truly, D. S. Grant. Let Every Soldier be Assessed at Once! We thus eaily publish the following section from the lata law relative to soldiers voting.— We hope every person who knows of a quali fied voter in the military or naval service will immediately see that he ia assessed and the ten cents personal tax paid, and proper vouch ers taken and forwarded to him; without delay, •let those who fight for the elective franehlse, enjoy its privileges. Section 40. It shall be the duty of every assessor within ‘this commonwealth, annually to assess and return in the manner now requi red by law, a common tax of ten cents upon each and every non-commissioned officer and private, as the usual taxes upon every commis sioned officer known, by them to be in tbe military service of the > United States, or in this State," in the army "or navy thereof, and when any omission shall occur, the ptaitted names will be added by such assessors,' tb the assessments and lists of voters on tbe applica tion of any citizen of tba election district or precinct wherein such soldiers might or would have a right to vote, if not in such service, as aforesaid, "and such' non-commissioned offi cers and privates shall he exempt from all other personal taxes during their-continuance in such service, and said assessor shall in each and every case of such assessed soldiers with out fee or reward therefor, give a certificate of such regular or additional assessment to any citizen of the election district or precinct who may at any time demand tbe same, and upon the presentation thereof to the tax collector of said district, or the treasurer of said county, it shall he the'" duty of such officer.- to receive said assessed tax of and from any person offer ing to pay the same for.the soldier or officer therein named, and to endorse qpon such cer tificate and receipt therefor, and it shall also be the duty of said collector or county treas urer, to receive said assessed tax from any person, who may offer to-pay-the same for any of said soldiers or officers, without requiring a certificate of assessment when the names of such-persons shall have been duly .entered up on the assessment books and -tax duplicates, and give a receipt therefor to such person, es pecially stating therein the name of the soldier or officer whose tax is thus paid the year for which it was assessed, and the date of the payment thereof which said certificate and receipt or receipt only, shall be prima facie evidemjp to any election hoard provided for by this act, before which the same must be offered, of the due assessment of said tax against and tbe payment thereof by the .soldiers or officer therein named, offering the same as aforesaidj hut said election board shall not be thereby precluded from requiring other proof of the right to vote as specified by this act or tbe general election laws of this Com uiwh»»l»U «( nwj «C nonaocAM, onl* lectors or treasurers, shall neglect or refuse to comply with tbe provisions of this section, or to perfom tbe duties therein enjoined upon them, be or they so offending shall be consid ered and adjudged guilty of a misdemeanor in the office, and shall on conviction he fined in any snm not less than twenty, nor more than two hundred dollars. Coppebhead Ideas op McClellan.— The Courier des Etais Unis, a Trench paper pub lished in New York and edited by an alien in the service of the French Empire, serves up the following choice opinion of McClellan: “ McClellan is really a new man. For more than two years past he has not taken part in the inhuman war commenced by the Burnsides, the Hookers and the Shermans. His name is I not connected with any of those odious mea-: sores of the Administration ; and the first great violation of the Constitntion, the Emancipation j Proclamation made him sheathe his sword.— Obliged to fight, he has, however, never sallied his name by any of those exterminating and I savage expeditions which have dishonored ■ Sherman, Kilpatrick and Butler. He belongs - to that school of Generals who can yet look | npon the Confederates as countrymen, while 1 most of the Generals now in the service hardly 1 look npon them as human beings.” 1 Ex-Secretaet Chase. —The following, from a letter written by Hon. S. P. Chase, speaks for itself, and is a flat denial of the Copperhead lie that Mr. Chase is opposed to the re-election of Mr. Lincoln: “ I do not see any reason for believing that the great cause to which we are all bound can be promoted any better or as well by with drawing support from the nomination made at Baltimore, and no cause of dissatisfaction, however strong, will warrant Any sacrifice of that cause. What future circumstances may require or .warrant,, cannot now be foreseen and need not be considered. I particularly desire that my friends shonld do nothing that can create the impression that there is any personal difference between Mr. Lincoln and myself, for there is none. All the differences that exist are oh public questions and have no private bearing.” Elmira Colmebceax College. —We are satisfied from what we hare seen that this'lnstitution is des tined to become use of the most thorough and valua ble of its hind in the State.
