FOR JUDGE OF THE SUPREME COURT,
DANIEL AGNEW,
OF BEAVER COUNTY
HARRISBURG, PA.
Wednesday Evening August 12 1863.
Important Correspondence.
We print, to-d ty, a very important correspon
dence between the Provost Marshal' General
and the Governor of the State of Pennsylvania,
relating to the question of credit for excess of
quota furnished by any of the wards, boroughs
or townships in the Union. As this question
has been much misrepresented, and as ifs hasty
discussion has led to many misstatements, we
refer the reader to this correspondence for all
the neceEsary. information on the subject. The
letter of- th e e Provost Marshal General Is clear
and explicit, and leaves no room for misappre
hension as to the proceedings necessary to es
tablish the right of exemption on a claim of
having furnished an excess over any given
quota. We trust that none of our readers will
fail to peruse this highly interesting correspon
dence.
Woodward Urged to Withdraw.
We are not at liberty to give names, for the
reason that the source whence we derived our
information is contraband, but we still can as
sure
our readers that Judge Woodward, the
copperhead candidate for Governor of Pennsyl
vania, is heartily sick of the position in which
he has been-placed by that nomination, and
that he has recently intimated his desire to
withdraw from the 'contest. This desire is
bitterly opposed by Witte, Clymer, Hughes'
and others of the lesion of the party which
made the nomination, on the ground that
Woodward bad managed a game to frustrate
others openly conteAlog for that nomination,
and that therefore with defeat staring them in
the face, Judge Woodward must face its odium
and abide by the withering influence it will
hereafter have up in his political as well as his
personal prospects. It is Bald that Woodward
prefers his position on the Supreme Bench to
that of Governor of the Commonwealth, and
that as an alternative to his final consent to
continue as a candidate for Governor, he seeks
a pledge from his party's managers to make
him the candidate of that party for re election
to the Supreme Court in the event of his defeat
for Governor.
Our informant declares that the internal se
cret ottifa which thisdesired declination of Wood
ward has caused, is convulsing the nest of cop
perheads from its centre to its circumference,
Aid that alrea.eir_tls. actscivl3ol
by the State Central Committee, over which
the apostate Charles J. Ingersoll presides, and
that any number of quires of foOlscap have
been consumed in correspondence between the
leaders of the faithful, seeking counsel to allay
the strife and reduce the party to something
like harmony. As we stated above, we are not
at liberty to give the authority on which we
base this statement. We can only say that that
authority is respectable in position and highly
reputed for veracity ; and therefore we give his
information for what it is worth. Certain it is
that the corruptions which attend and which
belong to the Democratic organization, are ex
ceedingly liable to create Asa such a condition
of affairs, of doubt of success on the part of its
candidates, and desperation on the part of Re
leaders.
No Sotnren, and no real friend of the soldier
can vote for George W. Woodward for Governor
because he joined in the approval of a decree by
- which the soldier, absent front the State, de
fending the honor of the nation, was distrait
chtzed and degraded to the level of the slave.
The man who perils life in the defence of. the
Government, is esteemed by Judge Woodward
as unworthy of participating in the control of
that Government. The man who gives up
home, family, fcrtune, comfort, pleasure, and
business, in order to promote the welfare of the
nation, is regirded by Judge Woodward as un
worthy of confidence as a free man, as incapable
of exercising -the franchises of a open, and as
only a little higher than the common slaves of
the South. Is such a man fit to be the Governor
of a-free people ? This question the veterans
who are at home, with the friends of the vete
rans absent fighting the. battles of the Union,
must answer. Every vote cast for George W.
Woodward for Governor, is a voice in favor of
the disfranchisement of the soldier—an influ
ence which may be used, when once such a man
is clothed with power, to disfranchise all who do
not acquiesce with him in faith in the political
dogmas which ,now disturb the peace and
threaten the perpetuity of the Government.—
Remember, freemen of Pennsylvania, you are
called on to decide when yen vote for Governor
at the comirg election, the right of the'Ameri
can soldier to the franchise, as well as the. right
of the American citizen to maintain the Ameri
can Government against the efforts of armed
slave holders to effect its destruction. Every
vote .cast against George W. Woodward, is a
ballot in favor of the Union, in favor of the
franchise, and in favor of the real peace of the
eounti y.
No ADOPTED CrrizEN can vote for George W.
Woodward, because the said Woodward openly
advocatel the disfranchisement of all foreign
born citizens, declaring that all such were unfit
to participate in a free government by the use of
the franchise, and that they should also be de
barred from holding any office of trust or honor.
The hostility of Judge Woodward to the foreign
born citizsn was cmceived at an hoUr in the
history of_lhe State of Pennsylvania,4 when
foreign labor was developing the immense re - -
sources of the State, enriching our people With
the results of its industry, erecting improve-
ments and creating cnterp.ises which have
since become the pride and glory of the Union
In that very hour of the usafulness and -
spectability of foreign labor, when some of the
best men cf the old world sought refuge in a
free land—when the muecle and the mind of
Europe came to mingle their strength in the
glorious destiny of a great free country, in that
hour George W. Woodward proposed to reduce
the foreign born citizen to the level of the
African slave of the South. He adv.cated the
measure to give every foreigner the privilege
of laboring on our soil, of toiling in our work
shops, of contributing to the material wealth
and political power of the country, but at the
same time the same measure was designed to
degrade and debase the foreigner by utterly de
priving him of citizenship ; by refusing him all
participation in a government whrse strength
he assisted in maintaining and to whose power
he contributed the results of his daily toll.—
Can any foreign born citizen who has the dig
nity of a man, vote for Woodward for Gover
nor ? This is a question which we leave to such
as these to decide.
aP4
TIN,
Personalities—The- Last and the Present
Gubernatorial Campaigns:
In the contest which was carried on three
years ago for the Governorship of Pennsylvania,
less of personalities were indulged than ever
before entered into-a similar campaign. An=
drew G. Curtin, then as now, the candidate of
the loyal men of the Commonwcalth, 'Made his
fight for election purely upon principles. He
took the stump with the declaration that the
amenities and the courtesies which control and
distinguish all true men, would be observed
during that memorable fight, so far as he was
concerned, and in no single instance, or daring
the delivery of no speech,however brilliant the
occasion or excited the hour,did he depart from
that reealation. Nay, he carried his courtesy
beyond the stump, and whio on a political visit
to the home of his opponent, paid his respects
in person to the accomplished lady of
Mr. Foster, thus at once establishing his
character as a 'gentleman and a statesman.—
He hai principle, then, to discuse;and he has
principle now to debate. H 3 has even mightier
subjects to advocate and discuss in this cam
paign than he had in the last—subjects involv
ing the general peace, the whole good and the
national perpetuity of the people. To these
Andrew G. Curtin and his friends desire now to
confine themselves. They want to avoid all
personalities, not that they shrink from the
severest personal scrutiny, but that they wish
to save the people from a contest in which per
sonalities shall take the place of principle, and
a mere crimination and recrimination absorb
the time which should be occupied in the ex
' position of policiee calculated to subserve the
interests and the glory of not only the Com
monwealth but of the Union.
—To all appearances our opponents are not
willing to confine themselves to such a course.
The blackguardism of the Tory Organ already
begins to itch—the miserable clique which con
trol its columns are beginning to run over with
the ebulitions of the filth which has always
characterized the locofoco movie of ccuti.d...“-,,
poltticart:lmpatgn. Even Judge Wcodward
himself, unable to restrain his natural mendaci
ty, has entered upon these pellbnalities, so that
we may soon expect to hear every puppy in the
State, barkir g with unison in a perzonal assault
on our candidates. Thus early;we warn Judge
Woodward and the miserable creatures who
have been summoned to assist in his election,
that if these personalities are to be persisted in,
we shall take a hand in the same game, and
expose the record so as to cover himself and hie
upholders with overwhelming disgrace. We
shall indulge only in this single warning on this
subject. A. repetition of what has been going
on in this city and elsewhere on this subject
will decideour course and decide also the fate of
our opponents.
Judge Woodward on the Stump.
When Judge Woodward consented to allow
the use of his name as a caodidate for Governor,
he announced with some degree of virtous dig
nity, that his position as a Judge of the Su
preme Court would , deb a him from taking any
part in the contest, and that he would be com
pelled to leave the dirty work of the campaign
to his partizan friends. At the time Judge
Woodward made this declaration, we had no
faith in his sincerity. Long before the campaign
closed we expected to see him on the stump,
using the low arts of demagognisna with
whisk he is so familiar, and resorting to every
possible trick to secure his election,,But we did
not expect that Judge Woodward would Immo
diately avail himself of an opportunity to cajole
the people. This he has done. Ho is now on
a tour through a certain portion of the State,
meeting the faithful in localities in which they
can be soonest convened, and indulging in the
most violent abuse of both the State and Na
tional Administrations. A correspondent writes
to us from a loadity which it is not necessary
for us to name now, but which we
can reveal whenever. it is deemed ne
cessary, that Woodward was recently a
sojourner there for a few hours, during which
time he took occasion to pour out his spleen on
the President, the GOvernor of tbe Common
wealth, on the loyal Democracy, and on loyal
men particularly, characterizing such as sup-
I ported the war as " mere affrighted toadies,
who could be brought to obey any mandate
and who would submit any ruling which
the abolitionists might decree." This is Judge
Woodward's mode and manner of refraining to
enter the slough of politics, fearful lest the
ermine which he wears might become soiled.
We give him the credit of the frankness which
his course betrays, and warn him and his friends,
that the game which he,is playing w,ill.nOt win.
His bar-room harangues may please his party,
but they will never satisfy the people.
Goveraion. FPamius, of Rhode Island, is one
of the richest men of that State. In lately
buying out the interest of a relativo in the
firm of which he is the principal manager, be
drew a single check for over a million , dollars.
His marriage with Mita Chase is one of his pro:
posed financial strokes. "
As an example that "the eviythat hoops dt;
lives after them," a gentleman of Neai York
has lately complained of injuries_ iuflicted.on
horses' which have been badly cut up by be
coming entangled in these nets, which have
been cast into the streets.
THE DRAFT
quEATiolt OF CREDIT ON AN EX
CESS OF QUOTA.
Ipaportant Correspondence Between the
Provost Marshal General and the
Goverm%r of Pennsylvania.
PENNSYLVANIA EXECUTIVE CHANIII`sR,
Harrisburg, Pa , Aug. 11, 1863 .
COLONEL:—I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of ycur letter of the 10th inst., in
which v ou explain your lett-r to Gov. Andrew, of
the 19th July last, which has been published in
the papers of this Stale.
,nelosed you will find a copy of the appor
tionment made in the draft of last October,
and the quota assigned to each county in this
State. You will notice that your letter is an
swered, in a great measure, by the paper Itself,
which shows the manner in which the quota
of emu county was ascertained, based upon
contributions of men to the publics rvice up
to that time. The quotas of the boroughs,
wards and townsh ps were ascertainel by the
commissioners of the several counties of the
State, and were adjusted in proportion to the
men previously furnished by them. Copies of
all su:h apportionments ought to be, and I pre
sume are, on file in the War Department. If
not, they will be furnished promptly at your
request.
This subject is exciting much interest in
Pennsylvania, and it would seam to be import
ant to the public service that a just settlement
of the number of men to be taken from coun
ties or smaller municipalities should be made
with all possible dispatch.
For the purpose of correcting the impression
as to the means of relief to localities, where
the people think injustice has been done, and
to save the expense and inconvenience of jour
neys by citizens of different and distant parts
of the State to this capital, I deem it proper to
publish your letter and this reply.
I am, Colonel, very respectfully,
Your obt. serve ,

WAR DEPARTMENT,
PROVOST MARSHAL GENERAL'S OFFICE,
Washington, D. C., Aug. 10, 1863.
His Excellency A. G. Cumin . ,
acvernor of Pennrsavania.
Sin:—Mr. P. L. Hackenberg, of Milton,North
mnberland county, has called upon me with
a letter from you and a statement of the num
ber and names of men claimed to have been
furnished by the town of Milton. I have writ
ten to the Governors of several States explain
ing my letter of the 19th of July, to Governor
Andrew, and I will now inform you what I
consider to be the method , of establishing the
claim of a town to credit for an excess of troops
furnished.
The question whether a town has actually
furnished a surplus over former calls can only
be decided by ascertaining what former calls
amounted to an.i how many were actually fur
nished. The quotas of States were assigned by
the President to the States at large, and the
distributions among the-towns and counties
was entrusted to the State authorities. The
records of this Depirtment do not sbow what
the quotas of the towns were, and I have,
therefore, requested the Governors of some of
the States to inform me how the qnota of the
State was apportioned among the towns and
counties. Hence to prove that any town cr
county is entitled to credit for a surplus of men
actually furnished, I deem it necessary to es•
tablish the following points:
%First. That a given quota was assigned by
competent State authority to the town.
Second. That that quota was a proper one:
that, is_ time it I.ne quotas
of the other towns and counties, to make up
the entire quota of the State, and proportional
to the population of the town; and.
Third. That the number claimed has been
actually furnished, and this can be established
by comparing the names of the men claimed to
have been furnished, with those on the muster
in rolls in the office of the-Adjutant General of
the Amy. Very respeAfully,
Your obedient servant. •

Promotion of Brig. General Warren
REBEL CAMP DISCOVERED NEAR CULPEPPER
FROM WASHINGTON, &c
Reports of the Falling Waters* MI
WeauxkidTox, August 12
Information has been received here to=day
from the Army of the Potomac, sating that
Brigadier General Warren, chief of the Topo
graphic's]. Engineers, has been promoted to
Major General.
This appointment is generally conceded by
all to be justly due to this distinguished and
accomplithed officer.
A new rebel camp was discovered on Pony
Mount, near Culpepper, on Sunday. It is be
lieved that the rebels came from the south side
of the Rapidan.
William T. Harrell, of Philadelphia, for a
long time ehief clerk to the chief quartermas
ter of the Army of the Potomao, has been re
warded for his ability and fidelity by the ap
pointment of captain in the same department.
Brig. Gen. Patrick, provost marshal general,
has obtained a short leave of absence to attend
to private business, it being the first time since
his entry into the volunteer service that he has
been absent from his arduous duties. Deputy
Provost Marshal Sharpe acts in his stead.
No movements of a general character have
transpired for some time.
The weather is intensely , hot. The earth is
dry and parChed, and man and beast are glad to
seek the cooling shades. •
WASHINGTON, August 12.—The following dis
patch has been received at the headquarters of
the fumy.
HEADQUARTERS, ARMY 02 THE POTOMAC, 9tb
August, 6 30.—Maj Gen. Ilalleek, General-ia-
Chief
GassitAL:—lly attention has-been called to
what purports to be an official dispatch of
General R. E. L., Commander of the Confeder
ate army, to General S; Cooper, Adjutant and
Insp:ctor General, denying the accuracy of my
telegram' to you, of July 14to, announcing the
iesult of the cavalry affair at Falling Waters.
I have delayed taking any notice of Gen. Lee's'
report until the return of Brig. General Kil
patrick, (absent.on leave,) who commanded the
cavalry engaged on the occasion referred to,
and on Nowa report from the field my telegram
was based. I now enclose the official report of
Brig. General Kilpatrick, made after bis atten
tion had been called to Lee's report. Yon will
see that be reiterates and confirms all that my
dispatch averred, and proves most conclusively
that Grn. Lee has been deceived by his subor
dinates, or he would never in the lace of the
facts alleged, have made the asterthns which
his report contains.
It appears that I was in error in stating that
the bony of General Pettigrew was Mt in our
ha):idsi although I would not`communicate that
fact until an officer from the field informed me
that he had seen the body. It is now ewer
tallied from the Richmond papers that Genera 1
Pettigrew, though mortally wounded in the
affair, w.B taken to Winchester, where be sub
sequently died.
i 119 thr,e ba tle flags captured on this occa
sion and sent to Washington, belovged to the
40th, 47th and 55th Virginia regiments of in
fantry.
Gen. Lee will surely acknwledge that these
were not left in the hands of stragglers, asleep
in barns. Bespectfuly, yours, _ _ _

Major General Commanding.
HEADQUARTERS, 3D Drv. CAVALRY CORPS,
WARRENTON JUNCTION, -Va., Aug. 7.
To Colonel A. I. Alaanier, Cni , f of Staff, Cavalry
Corps:
In compliance with a letter just received from
the headquarters of the Cavalry Corps of the
Army of the Potomac, directing me to give the
facts connected with my fight at Falling Waters,
I have the honor to state that at three o'clock
on the morning of the 14th nit., I learned that
the enemy's pickets were retiring in nay front.
Having been previously ordered to attack at
7 A. M., I was ready to move at once.
At daylight I had reached the en st of hills
occupied by the enemy an hour before, and at
a few moments beftae six o'clock, Gen. Custer
drove the reir guard of the enemy into the
river at Williamsport.
Learning from citizens that a portion of the
enemy had retreated in the direction of Falling
Waters, I at once moved rapidly for that point
and came up with the rear guard of the enemy
at 7 o'clock A. a 1 .., at a point two miles distant
from Falling Waters. .
We pressed on, driving them before us, cap
turing
many prisoners and one gun, when
within a mile and a half of Falling Waters
the enemy was found in large force drawn up
in line of battle on the crest of the hill com
manding the road on which I was advancing.
His left was protected by earthworks, and
his right extended to the woods far on my left.
The enemy H as when first-seen in two lines
of battle wtth arms stacked.
Within less than one thousand yards of this
large force a second piece of artillery with its
supports, consisting of infantry, was captured,
while attempting to get into position. The
gun was taken to the rear.
A portion of the 6th Michigan cavalry, seeing
only that pbrtion of the enemy behind the
e at hwork, charged, led by Maj. Weber, forming
one of tte most gallant charges ever made. At
a trot, he passed up the hill, received the fire
from the whole line and the neat moment rode
through and over the earthworks, pe :ed to the
right, sabreing the rebels along the entire line,
and returned with a loss of thirty killed,
wounded and missiag, including the gallant
Major Weber, killed.
I dir cted Gen. Custer to send forward one
regiment as skirmishers. They were repulsed
before support could be sent them, and driven
back, closely followed by the rebels, lentil
checked by the Ist Michigan and a squadron of
the Bth New York.
The second brigade having come up, it was
quickly thrown into position, and after a fight
of two hours and thirty minutes we routed the
enemy at all points and drove him toward tte
river.
When within a short distance of the bridge
Gen. Buford's command came up and took the
advance.
We lost 29 killed, 86 wounded, and 40 mis
s'ng. We found upon the field 126 dead rebels
ana brought away upwards of 50 wounded.
A large number of the enemy's wounded were
left upon the field in charge of their own sur
geons.
We captured two guns', 8 battle flags and up
wards of 1 500 prisoners.
To General Ouster.and his brigade, Lieuten
ant Pennington and his battery, and one Nand
„„ tile urn very vorg cavalry, of General
31uford's command, all praise is due.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

Regulations Relative to Exemptions in
Cuss of Two or If o.e Sons of Aged
or Infirm Parents.
WAR DEPARTMENT,
PROVOST MARSHAL'S OFFICE,
lfiaahy D. C , Tuly 27, 1863. 1111
CIRCULAR
No 57.
THE following "opinion" in relation to that
part of Section 2 of the enrollment am,
which says "where there are two or more sons
of aged or infirm parents subject to draft, 'he
father, or if he be dead, the mother, may elect
which son shall be exempt," is published and
will hereafter govern:
"The only son of aged and infirm parents,
dependent, &a, is absolutely exempt. BM
where there are two sons, both are subject tc
draft until an election is made by the parent ;
and the name of the one elected should be re
moved from the list. After the draft is made
the persons drafted are no longer "subject to
draft,' but to duty. and a parent cannot secure
the practical exemption of two sons from mili-
tary duty, by waiting until one is drafted and
then electing to exempt him.

Provost Marshal General.
