Question. What is the best kind of Wooden beam
Plow?
Answer. The WIARD PLOW.
Qnos. W-herein does it excel all others ?
Ans. In ease of draft, in being less liable to clog,
and in fact it excels in every particular.
Ques. Whero Is this Plow to be found ?
Ans. At the KNOXVILLE .FOUNDRY, where
they are made, and *t various agencies, around the
country.
Ques, Are there any other plows made at that
Foundry?
Ans. 1 YesJ Biles makes various kinds of wooden
and iron beam Plows, both for flat land and side hill,,
and he.keeps -ahead of -all- other establishments by
getting the BEST PATTERNS invented, without
regard to rthe COST,, . .
' - QueaV all thatTßiles makes ?
Ans. By no means. - He also makes HORSE
HOES; a superb article for' Corn, Potatoes, Ac.
■ ROAD SCRAPERS that beat the world. Cast Cul
tivator Teeth of a very superior pattern. Shovel
Plow Castings for new land, and indeed almost every
thing that is ever made at a Foundry, from a Boot
Jack to a SEeam Engine.
Ques. Would yon then advise.me to buy there?
Ana. Most certainly would I, for besides making
the best KIND of every thing, Biles makes those
that arc the most DURABLE, and it is a common ex
pression where Plows have been introduced, that
they last as long as from two to four got at any other
shop; ho has always been at the business from a
“ImaU’boy and ought to know how it is done, and if
you try his wares once, you will be ready with me-to
tell all wanting anything in that line to go, send, or
in some- other way procure them of J. P. BILES, at

THE CHICAGO CONVENTION.
Appeal of the National Union Committee
to the People of the United States.
Headquarters of the
1 National Union Committee;
New York, Sept. 9. .
The great rebellion, which for more than
three years has wrapt tbe nation in tbe flames
of civil war, draws near its crisis. Its armies
have been beaten, its territory has been con
quered, the forts and posts which it treacher
ously seized have been occupied and held by
tbe soldiers of the Republic; its foreign allies
have been detached from its support, and its
hostile arm, paralyzed by exhaustion and dis
couraged by defeat, is upheld solely by the
hope of political victories to be achieved by
its allies in the Presidential election in Novem
ber heat. -
If tbe people in that election sustain the
.Government, if they reassert its just authority,
and reaffirm their purpose to maintain it by
"warso, long as war assails it, the rebellion
willbpeedily end. If they falter in this deter
mination,, or leave any room for doubt on this
vital point; the rebels will take fresh, courage,
and prolong the contest. Every, utterance of
their organs and .their agents affirms and con
firms this position. Every rebel in arms and
every rebel in office, every rebel in the States or
in foreign lands, every hater of democratic free
dom and the rights of min; longs and labors
for the overthrow of tbe Admistration, and the
expulsion of Abraham Lincoln from the Pres
idential chair.
In the Northern' and "Western States this
hostility has been embodied and organized in
the acts and declarations of the Chicago Con
vention, gives a silent approval of the rebell
ion itself, and.-an open condemnation of the
war waged tor its suppression. Without a
word of censure for the conspirators who plot
ted the nation’s death, it brands with unspair
ing denunciation tbe patriots and heroes who
defend its life. While it passes in utter si
lence the gigantic usurpations of Jefferson Da
vis and his confederate traitors—while it over
looks entirely, and thus, by just and necessary
inference, approves their abrogation of politi
cal rights and personal liberties over all that
portion of the United States in which they
have been able thus far to sustain their usur
ped authority, it pours out its wrath, without
stint or measure, upon every act by which the
constitutional President of the United States
has sought to defend and protect tbe life and
liberties of the nation, whose executive power
is placed in bis bands.
That Convention had no worda„o£. exultation
for onr victories—no thanks and honors for thel
soldiers and sailors who have shed blood to
achieve them. While it denounces our Gov
ernment for neglect of doty to our “ fellow-cit
izens, who are now, and long have been pris
oners of war in a suffering condition,” it has
not even a, syllable of censure for those rebel
authorities who, with more than savage cruelty,
and in utter disregard of every dictate of hu
manity as well of every usage of. civilized war
fare, have deliberately and with systematic
purpose inflicted upon these prisoners all the
tortures of exposure, of neglect and starva
tion, and have offered premiums for their mur
der to the brutal guards to whose grim custo
dy they have been consigned. And, on the
very eve of the most glorious victories that
have ever crowned our arms; after three years
of bloody, costly and successful war, when
three-fourths of the territory originally held
by tbe rebels had passed into our hands; at
the very moment when the rebellion itself is
tottering to its fall, and the flag of our coun
try is rapidly advancing to its old supremacy—
the party represented at Chicago demands
that “ immediate efforts be made for a cessa
tion" of hostilities”—a step which would in
stantly arrest our conquering armies, and
snatch from them the glories of a final triumph ;
repeal the blockade, and throw the whole reb
el frontier open to the supplies they so sorely
freed ; secure the recognition of. foreign Powers,"
imd either accomplish tljpir independence or
;ive them the ability to fight for it four years
onger.,
! We appeal to the people of the United States
—lovers of the Union and friends of freedom
against the consummation of the foul crime
against both which the acts and declarations
of the Chicago Convention involve. We in
voke them not to sanction these principles and
sentiments by electing the candidates put for
ward to represent them.". We implore them,
os they love their country, as they seek-the re
newed integrity of its territory, as they desire
the peaceful protection of its flag, and the bles
sings of its free institutions and its equal laws
for themselves and their posterity, mot to- ar
rest the blow which isjust,, ready tp descend

strength for fresh conflictsnot to aid those
who would aid them in overthrowing onr Gov
ernment, in destroying our Union, in plunging
into chaos of arnaohy the great communities
of which the Constitution makes one great and
glorious nation, and in thus extinguishing, fi
nally.and forever, the hopes of all who have
.faith in freedom and the rights of man.
call upon the people to bear in mind
thal;,,,by. whatever sophistries they may cloak
their purpose the Chicago Convention neither
condemns the actions of the Richmond rebels,
, nor. proposes to expel them against their will,
or by any exercise of force,’from the seats of
power they have usurped. In ail essential re
spects the action that Convention took accords
■with the result the rebels seek. Both denounce,
witb'nnsparing bitterness, the Government, of
the United States; and both alike seek its
overthrow. Both demand that the attempt to
conquer armed rebellion by force of arms
shall he abandoned. And both demand that
when the Government of the United States
shall have passed into the hands of men oppo
sed to an armed defence of the Government
against rebellion, the war shall end by peace
ful conference of these allied powers. What
more than this could the rebels ask or' need
for the consummation oLall their plans ? We
call upon the people to bear in mind that if
they meet.the candidates of the Chicago Con
vention, they arrest the Government in the ex
ecution of its plans and purposes, on the very
eve of their fulfillment, and one-third of a
year before any new Administration can take
its place. The interval will be one of hope
and confidence for the rebels, and of exulta
tion for their allies in the loyal States. In the
Western States armed preparations have al
ready been mode by the disciples and advo
cates of secession, to follow the example of
the South, and sever the West from the Fed
eral Union. The success of the Chicago pro
gramme in November will he the signal for
carrying these designs into execution, and the
4th of March will dawn upon a new Western
Confederacy, aiming at independence, defying
the power of the national arms, and co-opera
ting with the-slav.o power of the Southern
States in. blotting from existence the free Re
public of the Western world.
We call upon the people to crush all these
schemes, and to brand their authors and allies
with their lasting reprobation. We call upon
them to support the Government, to quell the
rebellion, to defend and pseserve the Union.
We call upon-them to stand by the President,
who, under circumstances of unparalelled dif
ficulty,, has wielded the, power of the nation
with unfaltering courage and fidelity, with in
tegrity which oven calumny has not dared to
impeach; with wisdom and prudence, upon
whichsacoess is even now stamping the surest
and final seal. His election will proclaim to
-the world the unaltered and unalterable deter
mination of the American people to quell the
rebellion and save the Union. It will strike
down forever tho false hopes and'expectations
of the rebel Government, and proclaim to the
people of tho rebel State’s that their only hope
of peace lies in abandoning their hostility to
tho’Qovernment, and resuming their allegiance
to the Constitution and the laws of the United
States.
We call upon the Union Committees and the
Union Leagues, and apon all loyal associations
in every State, county' and town, to perfect
their organizations ; to infuse fresh vigor and
activity into their operations; to canvass care
fully and promptly their respective districts;
to circulate documents and newspapers con
taining just and forcible expositions of the
merits of our cause; to combat by assemblages
of the people in public meetings, by conversa
tion, by letters and personal appeals, and in
all just and proper modes, the deceptive and
perilous sophistries of the agents and political
allies of the rebellion. Let them be on their
guard against the arts of corruption and of
intrigue which will be brought, with unscru
pulous desperation, to bear upon them. The
rebel Government, and thoso foreign Powers
imost deeply interested in our destruction,
could well afford to expend millions in over-'
throwing this Administration, and placing in
power the nominees and representatives of the
Chicago Convention.
. The ikies are bright and full of promise.—
The lion-hearted citizen soldiers of the Repub
lic match with steady step and unfaltering
purpose to a speedy and glorions victory. The
heart of the people beats true to the Union.—
Every triumph of the Union arms over rebel
troops arouses afresh the courage and confi
dence of Union men and chills the heart and
decmaies the ranks of the submission seces
sionists represented at Chicago. A Union vic
tory in November will end the long and labo
rious strife. It will paralyze the arm of rebel
lion. It will disperse its armies, destroy the
hope by which the despotism at Richmond
now holds its subjects in bondage, release the"
people of the Southern States from their
enforced disloyalty, and give them again the
blessings of self government within the Union
and under the protecting Constitution and flog
of the United States. It will enable our own
Government to exchange the weapons-of war
for the counsels of peace; to relax the stern
control over public action and public speech
which a state of war renders unavoidable ; to
restore our financial system, to dissolve allmili
itary courts,and hand over again to the civil tri
bunals of justice the punishment of crime and
the preservation of public order, and to restore
to thoir firesides and their homes, clothed with
honors, and to ho held in everlasting remem
brance, that great army of bur citizen soldiers
who have bared their breasts against armed
rebellion, and won the imperishable renown of
saving the glorious Union for which their fath
ers and brothers died. .
Signed by the Committee.
Henry J. Raymond, Chairman,
Missing plank in the Chicago, copperhead
platform:
Resolved, That the Democratic Delegates, in
this Convention assembled, tender their sincere
thanks to His Excellency,- Jefferson Davis, for
the patriotic and fearless manner in Which he
'has madewat upon the of
tiacoln,,, , . <,v
The nomination of General McClellan by the
Chicago Convention is a matter in which-lead
ing Union men take almost as much interest as
the Democrats themselves. would prefer
McClellan to any other man as an opponent in
the political race ; not only because they be
lieve him less popular than many others that
might be named, but because his nomination
would greatly simplify the debate. McClellan
is vulnerable on all those points which have
.been relied npon by. the opposition for making
enemies, in Mr. Xinooln.
The principal ground of hostility to the pres
ent administration is undoubtedly its connec
tion with the war, which so many “ Democrats”
regard not only as needless, hnt as unholy arid
atrocious. They assumed, with Buchanan/ in
the beginning, that the general government
had no'right to “coerce a State,” and that
every step taken in that direction was an usur
pation and an outrage. Now General McClel
lan volunteered the use of his sword in this war
at a very early day, and he has never since
ceased to maintain its lawfulness and necessity
both by words.and deeds. How the “ Demo
crats,” then, particularly the peace faction, can
consistently assail the administration for its
adherence to the war, and yet bold up McClel
lan, who is no less strongly committed to it, we
do not see. Every word they shall utter in
condemnation of the one may be retorted upon

affairs.
Again, some of the, most obnoxious mea
sures of the war—those which have perhaps
excited the severest opposition to it—have been
approved and defended by General McClellan.
We all remember the howl of indignation with
which tho democratic journals met the conscrip
tion, although they had themselves clamored
for it for more than a year. It waa denounced
as tyrannical, unjust, un-American, barbarous,
and disgraceful, with so much vehemence, that
in this city a formidable riot was raised against
it, which mob cheered for Jefferson Davis and
General McClellan. Could they have known at
the time that McClellan was the very first of
onr prominent men to propose a resort to a
draft fln August of 1861—jbst a month after
the battle of Bull Run—when volunteers were
pouring into Washington by regiments and
brigades, he wrote to the President as follows:
Washington, August 20,1861.
“ Sir ;— I have just received the enclosed
dispatch in cypher. Colonel Marcy knows
what he says, and is of the coolest judgment.
I recommend that the Secretary of War ascer
tain at once by telegraph how the enrollment
proceeds in New York and elsewhere, and that,
if it is not proceeding with ; great rapidity,
drafts he made at once. We mast have men
without delay.
“ Respectfully, your oh’t servant,
“ George B. McCee££an,
“ Major-General, U. S A.”
The following is a copy of the urgent note
of Gen. Marcy, his father-in-law and chief of
staff;
" I nrge.npon you to make a positive and un
conditional demand for an immediate draft of
the additional troops you. require. Men will'
not volunteer now, and drafting is your only
successful plan. The people toill applaud such
a course, rely upon it. I will be in Washing
ton to-morr#ff. B. B. Marcy.”
But worse than the draft even, in the sight
of these patriotic “ democrats,” are those ar
bitrary arrests that have done so much to
weaken the Administration. How they have
thundered against them night and day as
breaches of the constitution, infringements of
jthe sacred liberty of person, and a reckless
overthrow of all the safeguards against despo
tism which our fathers erected as the. rights of
the States. Nevertheless, the most high-hand
ed, arbitrary, and exorbitant of all acts of the
kind—the seizure and imprisonment of the en
tire legislature of a State, of the sovereign
State of Mrryland—was ordered and to a cer
tain extent executed by General McClellan.—
Banka was at that time in command at Balti
more, and as it was suspected that the mem
bers of the legislature might take measures to
carry the State out of the Union into the Con
federacy, McClellan wrote to him in this wise:
[Confidential.]

Washington, Sept. 12,1861. ‘ i
“ Maj.-Gen. N. P. Banks, Tj. S. A.:—Gene
ral ;—After full consultation with the Presi
dent, Secretaries of State, War, &c., it has been
decided to effect the operation proposed for the
17th. Arrangements have been made to have
government steamer at Annapolis to receive
'the prisoners, and carry them to their destina
tion.
“ Some four or five of the chief men in the
affair are to bo arrested to-day. When they
meet on the 17tb, yon will please have every
thing prepared to arrest the whole party, and
be sure that none escape.
“ It is understood that you arrange with
General Dis and Governor Seward the modus
operandi. It has been intimated to me that
the meeting might take place on the 14th;
please be prepared. I would be glad to have
yon advise mo frequently of your arrangements
in regard to this very important matter.
“ If it is successfully carried out, it will go
far towards breaking the backbone of the re
bellion. It will, probably be well to have a
special train quietly.prepared to take the pris
oners to Annapolis.
“ I leave this exceedingly important affair to
-your tact and discretion—and have but one
thing to impress upon you—the absolute neces-
of secrecy and success. With the highest
regard,’l-am, my dear general, your sincere
friend, -

gusto. It cannot bo said that ho wag merely
carrying out the orders of his superiors, for he
appears to have suggested the plan himself,
merely “ consulting’' the President, about it
and lending it. his warm and earnest approval.
His anxiety to gat it dona with complete suc
cess, and the importance he ascribes to that
success show that his co-operation was more
than willing; it was zealous. He seizes those
suspected legislators—those representatives of
a free, independent, and sovereign State—
which was not at war with the nation, with as
much avidity as a dO2 catches at a hone.
® jugged them all at a swoop, and there
was an end of the matter. Mr. Lincoln's seiz
ure of a poor offending editor here and there,
or of a peculating contractor now and then, is
a pitiful proceeding beside the nabbing of aa
entire legislative body. Cromwell's dispersion
of the Long Parliament has become historical;
it has been both painted and sung; but it waa
a tame affair compared with McClellan’s meth
od of getting rid of the Maryland Parliament.
His “ democratic” admirers, especially those
who are champions of State rights, would do
well to put the scene upon their transparenciss

How Saji Mills Plated City Landlpbd.—
Were you ever in Coudersporfc? Here iji & de
scription of the place. It is a village contain
ing two hundred souls (i. i., if every human
biped has a soul), and is situated between a
a clump of alder-bushes and a noted frog-pond.
But to my story. In times of old, there resi
ded in said village a hotel-keeper, who, for
convenience, we will call Sam Mills. Now
Sam was an excellent landlord. Many miles
have travelers gone out of their way to stop
.with Sam. His only failing was his love of
city style. Having returned from the city, his
little one-horse tavern was dull. He waa on
the point of closing, when, horror of horrors,
several city gents drove np to the door. Hav
ing no waiters, Sam was nonplussed. Thera
happened to be an old rum customer, known
as Pus IT , lying around, and to him, Sam,
in this dire necessity, applied, telling him, if
would aqt on this occasion, his whiskay-bill
would be nix for the next month. Pus readily
consented j and, dressed in one of Sam’s cast
off suits, he presented himself at the dinner
table. »The guests were seated, when up steps
Pus with:
“What will yon have, gents? We have
ham, ram, lamb, sbeep, mutton, codfish, and
venison."
Suddenly in comes Sam,:with:
“ Here, Pus, you go to the bar."
The joke .was too good to keep.
If you vyant to start fun, ask Sam how he
likes to keep city hotel. —Mihcaukie ( Wit.)

George H. Pendleton the candidate of the
so-called Democratic Party for the Vice Presi
dence ig the bosom friend of the traitor Val
landigfaam with whom he has resided most of
his time during bis congressional career. Ha
is a Tirginian by birth and but for his loca
tion, having been in Cincinnati, would no doubt
be in the rebel service, where his relatives are
at the present time, fighting against the Old
Flag. His abilities are of the most ordinary
character, and.but for the influence of his dis
tinguished friend, Tellandigham, would never
have been dreamed of for the positionfor which
the Copperhead Convention has nominated him.
He is an open and avowed enemy pf the war,
and has invariably refused to vql# men or
money to carry it on. In a few words, he is a
copperhead of the vilest and moat abominable
stripe.
How these Traitors Love ( ojtb Another I
—That the traitors of the South and the trai
tors of the North understand each other well,
we suppose every loyal man in the country,
whether North or South, by this time knows
and feels. The Chattanooga Behd, of a recent
date, seeming to fear that there might be yet
some one so blind as not to babble to " tee it/'
spoke in this wise :
We admire McClellan, and we admire Buell
also; ws admire Yallandigbam more than all,
because he was against the war at the start,
and has kept hie faith ever since.
Any Northern Copperhead paper would
just as cordially eay;
“We we admire Beauregard,
also, and we admire Jeff. Davis more than all
because be was for slavery at the start, and
has kept his faith ever since."
McClellan vs the Platform. “ Weak
as your platform is,” exclaimed Mr. Long, at
the Chicago Convention, " looking In some
degree to peace, as it does, in God's name don't
place upon it a man who is pledged to every
act against which your platform declares."—
What does this mean ? Ben. Wood insists
that the platform and the candidate mean
peace; Mr. Long admits that the platform
means peace, bat that the candidate means
war I There must be a doubt somewhere.—
The people will solve the doubt by electing.
Lincoln and Johnson, who stand upon a plat
form that is not liable to a construction like
that of the Chicago abortion.
The two State# that have thn# far voted this
year have done better than they did in; 1863,
when the Union men carried every loyal State
except New Jersey. The only change thn a
far in elections to the next House of Repre
sentatives is the loss of the only democrat who
has had the chance of going before the people.
Sach are the signs of the times I
When Gen, Fremont was nominated for the
Presidency he resigned hia Major Generalship
and stopped drawing pay from the national
treasury without rendering service in return.
We have not heard that Gen. McClellan haa
followed hia good example.
Tallandigham was a member of the Commit
tee which framed the Chicago platform. Ha
was to have been chairman, but was persuaded
to yield to Guthrie ,from motives- of policy]
But he wrote the platform. The. statement' it
made on the best authority.
