That the sick soldier, the convalescent sol
dier, and the soldier on the battle field are de
vontly attached to Andrew G. Curtin, is neither
unnatural or unreasonable. Brave men are
generally grateful, and if ever a class of men
had came to be grateful to any individual occu
pying official position and wielding power, those
men are thesuldiers, and the one to whom they
are indebted most, is Andrew G. earth. Hu
man ever served a constituency as Andrew G.
Curtin has served and still serves the soldiers of
the Keystone State, both while they are in the
field battling with traitors, and while they are in
the hospitals suffering from the effects of their
struggles for the government. The soldiers
understand this service, and they know how to
appreciate it. If the soldiers had not been de
prived of the sacred privilege of the franc`aise,
by the action of a meanly partizan judioial de
cision, they would prove the grateful devotion,
which we know they entertain for Gov. Curtin,
at the ballot box neat October. As an
evidence of this fact, we submit a brief
account below of a test vote taken in one of the
U. S. hospitals in the vicinity of Philadelphia.
The vote was taken last Saturday morning, and
may be regarded as a fair indication of the sen
timent which animates the great majority of
the soldiers of Pennsylvania. The Thal thus
gives this vote:
This morning we had a conversation with a
surgeon of one of the. S. Military Hospitals
in this city, and he informed us that a day or
two since several of the patients, in order to
while away the time more pleasantly, took a
vote among the soldiers in the institution as to
their vote for Governor. The voting was con
fined only to those from Pennsylvania, there
being from this State 211 patients in the hospi
tal alluded to. The ballots were carefully as
sorted and counted, and stood as follows:
For Curtin, 201 votes.
" Woodward, 10 "
The soldiers know too well their old and tiled
friend, and as he clung to them in time of ad
versity, so will they now give him their entire
support.
—Who is the soldier's friend ? Will the Tory
Organ answer ?
Reasons for Opposing Woodward.
Any man who dares to peril -his life in the
defence of his Government, is considered by
Judge Woodward and the party he represents,
to be unworthy of having a voice in the control
of that Government. The moment a man
shoulders his Musket, no matter whether it be
in the defence of the National Capital, or in
praection of his own home from invasion, that
moment, contends Mr. Justice Woodward, he
becomes, to all intents and purposes, a foreigner.
Under the old Democratic regime the Southern
slaves were represented in Congress; under the
new regime, which the Democrats hope to
establish, our armies of Northern freemen are
to be debarred the privilege. With such a re
cord against Woodward aad his patty, will any
soldier or the friend - of the soldier, support him
for Governor.
No father who has a son. in the army, entitled
to the exercise of the franchise, can vote for
George W. Woodward, because by the decision
of the s•dd Woodward, all who enlist and peril
their lives in defence of the Government of the
Union, have been disfranchised.
No son who bas a father in the stray, can
Tote for Woodward or Lowry, because the joint
action of these men, put the American soldier
on a level with the American slave, depriving
him of his manhood by denying him the glori
ous privileges of a freeman.
No adopted citizen, who has any love for the
home of hie birth,or who is really devoted to
the laud of his adoption, will vote for the Cop
perhead candidate for Governor, because George
W. Woodward constantly, industriously and
persistently labored to deprive all foreigneis of
enjoying any of the political rights, immuni
ties or privileges of American citizenship.
On these points George W. Woodward stands
fairly convicted on the record. Under - the
sanction of an oath, he decreed the disfran
chisement of the American soldier. Under
the same influence he encouraged the disfran
chisement of the adopted citizen. In view of
this fact, we must either believe him to bave
been honest in his attempts to degrade'Ameri
can citizenship, or we must regard him as a
perjured hyPocrite and demagogue.

The slaves in the Western border counties of
Missouri have been practical entancipatb:oisis
for some time, and the war is making what is
left of them immediates of the active persua
sion. The St. Loots Union of the 18th states
that the negroes are leaving the Western bor
der counties in droves—starting, sometimes,
from fifty miles lin the interior, and traveling
unmolested directly along the public highways,
through towns and villages, to the Missouri
river, where they are promptly aided to cross
into Kansas. In some instances they are guarded
and protected on their journey by Kansas Jay
hawkers and Missouri troops, who prevent at
tempts by their masters to arrest ttem,by armed
force.
The St. Joseph Herald states that during the
last two months the slaves have been leaving
Platt county at the rate of about thirty per day.
The slave population of the county in 1860 was
8,318, and now there are but two or three hun
dred left. The Herald says from all portions of
North Missouri we have the same information.
The slaves are leaving by day and by night.—
Few owners pretend-to stay the exodus.
Such is the slave situation in Missonil, and
the St. Louis Union declares the fact to be thit
"there is no longer any slavery in the State. A
negro is just as free as the than who pretends to
own him. There is hardly a single darkey who
cannot rua off, or even walk off, any hour of
the day or night without earions fears of being
maned."

Gov. Cartin g the Soldiers , Candidate
Edgar of the .4ening Nl:graph:
By the merest accident a copy of that vile
sheet which you justly denominate the Ibry Or
gan, found its way into my ward of the Cotton
Factory Hospital this morning, and by one of
those eccentricities for which a sick mania not ac
countable, I was induced to peruse its pages for a
few moments. My eye was naturally attracted
to an article headed "The Soldier's Csnilidate—
An Incident," because I had read an article with
a similar heading in the Telvaph of yesterday.
Judge of my surprise, when I discovered by the
article in the Tory Organ, that the impression
was sought to be created that the portrait of
Gov. Curtin which adorns the walls of this hos
pital, had been placed in position against the will
of the soldiers, and that its being within our
sight is distasteful and insulting. lam almost
too weak to write, but thank God I am strong
enough to brand the aathor of the article in
the Tory Organ, which contains this ossortion,
as a liar as well as a coward, as a base fabrica
tor as well as a traitor. Not only the portrait of,
but Gov. Curtin himself, is beloved by every
active and dls Ibled soldier claiming to come
from the old Keystone State. He is emphati
tally the friend of the soldier, and if Woodward,
the copperhead candidate for Governor, had not
robbed the boys of their right to vote, Andy
would get such a majority ntzt fall as would
satisfy the gory Orgon how distasteful his rlor
trait Is to the sick soldiers in the Cotton Factory
Hospital. We all love Andy Curtin. We all
want to vote for him, if the copperheads will
grant us the glorioui privllege. But if we cannot
vote for Andy, we can love and honor him.
In conclusion, Mr. TELZGRAIII just say to
the Tory Organ writer that he lies when he
asserts that the picture of Andy Curtin, which
hangs in the hospital, was put here without the
consent of the sick soldiers. If he don't be
lieve this, let him bring a battalion of such
catiffs as himself and try to take the picture
away. Let him come if he dare.
A SICK SOLDIER.
Comm naroar HouTrei.,
Harrisburg, August 26, 1863
Remarks.
We had intended, briefly to reply to the story
of the Dry Organ, this morning, and we bad
prepared a paragraph for that purpose, when
a lead pencil note, Containing the above expla
nation, in almost illegible characters, was re
ceived. - After such a response from " 4 Sick
Soldier " it is unnecessary for us to write a
word. Yet we cannot refrain from advising
our tory traitor sympathizers on the other side
of the street, not to meddle with the soldiers'
affection for Gov. Curtin. It Is a tender sub
ject, particularly with the men in the hospitals,
who regard Andrew G. tartin as tho Soldiers'
Candidate.
TRH PROVOST MARSHAL of this District has
faithfully discharged every duty imposed upon
him, and the draft in no other district in the
loyal States has been conducted with the same
degree of order, promptness and success, as in the
Foarteenth District. We make this statement
in justice to Captain Clement, at whom the
Tory Organ fliegs one of its dirtiest insinuations
this morning. The fact is, that the stern rigor
with which Marshal Clement enforced the law,
appalled the cowardly whelps whom the Tory
Organ had hoped to stir up to resist the draft,
and now, in its disappointed rage, the same sheet
loads itself with falsehooda concerning the Mar
shal of this district, and seeks to create the hn
pression that he is neglecting hie duty. Like
all the efforts of the Tory Organ, this allusion
to Marshal Clement is transparent in its object
of mischief.
—So far as the notifications of drafted men
are concerned, these have been regulated with
a view to prevent confusion. -The object of
Marshal Clement is to deal fairly with `all;
while the purpose of the Tory Organ la to create
dissatisfaction.
Ir APPEARS that in Northumberland county
a lady may not only be kicked with impunity
for uttering Union sentiments, but the sex is
also liable to excommunication from the church
for the exercise of "free speech." This remark
is suggested by information we have received
that on last Sunday a young lady of Milton was
publicly "read out" of church for calling the
preacher a copperhead. This Pope's bull ex
communicating the offending lady, was fulmi
nated from the pulpit by the exasperated
shepherd. We don't knew which most to ad
mire in this reverend gentleman—his clerical
dignity or his Christian charity. In the matter
of gallantry, he might answer as a model.
Woonwann, the copperhead candidate for
Governor, took considerable part in the debate
of the Constitutional Convention of 1887, and
made his mark especially in his earnest efforts
to disfranchise all foreigners in Pennsylvania.
He, made one of his ablest speeches in favor of
incorporating the deviant' suffrage to.forefgnere
into our organic law, but he failed; so that the
Irish and Germans who vote for him in October
can do so with the eatiefictr.)r.t assurance that if
Woodward had succeeded in his efforts to amend
our Constitution they would now be without
even the right to rote at all, for Woodward or
anybody else!
I=
A PLATFORM.—We Commend the following
revolutions to our frievrie. They were passed
at a Union meeting held in Idtine, and the
speeches Which followed were, in their way,
quite as brief, and to the point Put the name
of Curtin in the place of Cony, and we chal
lenge the opposition upon this platform. It was
resolved:
1. That this -Rebellion is unconstitutional.
2. That it is constitutional to put it down.
3. That Mr. Lincoln is putting it down.
4. That we will suppare him while about it
5. 7hai Mr. Cony goes for the right.
6. That we go for Only.

THE PURSUIT OP QUANTRELL
SANAS CM, August [2.s.—Quantrell's force
reached the headwaters of Grand river, Case
county, about noon the day after the burning
of Lawrence, and there divided into squads of
forty and fifty, and scattered in various di
rections. Oar troops were half an hour behind,
and were also divided, and continued the pur
suit. A detachment ordered from Lexington
met part of the rebel force near Pleasant Hill,
and killed seven, and recovered a considerable
amount of goods taken from Lawrence.
A report has just reached here that Major
Plumb and Major Nacher overtook a company
in Lafayette, killing thirty. The total killed,
according to the last report, is between sixty
and seventy. Our detachments are still in pur
suit.
It is ascertained that Qeantrell's whole force
was 800 selected men, who assembled from Ls
layette, Saline, Clay, Johnston, and the border
counties, on Thursday noon, at the head of the
middle fork of Grand river, fifteen miles from
the Kansas line, and the same day started for
Kansas. Our scouts brought word that after
soon to the military station at Anbry, six miles
north of the place where they crossed the line,
of the assembling on Grand River, and au hour
after their entrance into Kansas other scout,
brought word to that effect. The information
was at once communicated to all the stations
on the border, and to the district headquarters
at Kansas City, thirty five miles north of
Aubry. A delay of three or four hours occurred
at each station, to gather in part of the patrol
ing and scouting parties, when the pursuit was
begun from each station separately, leaving a
portion of the troops to watch the border, and
endeavor to prevent Quantrell's return to
Missouri.
Quantrell's men told many persons, before
reaching Lawrence, that they were going there
to destroy the town, but by some strange fatal

with the enemy and pften compelled him to
halt and form a line of battle, but the soldiers
could not force their jaded horses to a gallop
