Why the Democrats Favor Volunteering
We have said that the object of the Demo
cratic politicians, says the North American, in
opposing a draft and advocating the volunteer
system was to avoid taking the Democrats into
the army, and keep up the drain of the loyal
population which has been going on ever since
the war began. In procf of this see the annexed
extract from the editorial columns of the Har
risburg:Pat:lot and Riess, the State organ of the
Democrats:
" Weise YOTIR VAUNTING TALIE:—We hope
to see the Curtinites, the Loyal Union Leaguers,
who have talked and printed so much in favor
of crushing the wicked rebellion, avail them
selves of the opportunity offered by the Presi
dent's proclamation for 100,000 more,' and
rush valiantly to the field. They are in duty
bound to do so; to make their words good, to
square their practice with their professions,
they must do so. Let us see, Curtin polled over
269,000 votes on the 13th. Moro than one half
of these ought to be good fighting men, between
the twee of twenty-one and forty-five. At least
about 150 000 of them are able bodied, loyal
abolitionists, fit for the field, chuck foil of pa
triotism, in favor of all Lincoln's war measures,
wild with anxiety to 'crush the rebellion,' and
panting for confederate blond 'as the hart
panteth after the water brook.' The quota of
Pennsylvania will not exceed 50.0G0 exactly
one-third of the 150,000 shoddy warriors who
voted for Curtin. Now, unless these men are
liars, hypocrites, base pretenders, or mean.
cowartity wretches, Uncle Abraham's requisi
tion should be fi !led immediately, or at tees;
within one month, from their own :ranks,
without calling upon a single 'disloyal copper
head' to shoulder a musket. They have it in
their power now to serve their country, and
prove the truth of their assertions at the same
time, by falling into the ranks as privateer at
$23 or $24 per month, and marching to the
front, 'away down in Dixie,'
to ehout, Hay, dis
perse and subjugate the hatred SLuthrons. Will
they do it? A friend looking over our shouL
der whispers, 'Of course they will.' We eoubt
it, but shill wait to see."
Of course every Union voter whom these
copperheads can drive into the army lessens
the strength of the Union forces at hose, and
Increases the chances of the copperheads ob
taining possession of the offices. Here is the
exact measure of the patriotism which prompts
these efforts. We - e it not that we interfere
with their attempts to get possession of the
offices, we might stay at home and welcome,
and the army might go without reinforcements
for all they care. But as the Union men were
not the advoca'es of the volunteer system, we
cannot understand why it should be any more
incumbent on them than anybody else to vol
unteer. Indeed, the obligation is on the other
side altogether. The Union men are in favor
of the draft, and have sustained it consistently.
The copperheads demanded volunteering, and
now that their demand has been conceded, it
behooves them, not us, to find the volunteers.
If the obligation to volunteer r eats upon any
body in particulate it certainly must be upon
the copperheads themselves, since they have
caused the draft to be set aside.
Come forth, therefore, ye Democratic politi
cians who were so bitter against conscription,
and who wanted the volunteer system substi
tuted; come forth and let us see the color of
your pate iotism. Where are all the thousands
whom you promised to obtain with so much
ease if the Government would only set aside
the conscription and res.,rt again to volunteer
ing? Do not try now to sneak out of it and
throw the obligation upon the Union men, who
never favored volunteering. Show that you did
not pursue this course as a mere trick to get
rid of Union voters, and leave the comm city
in the bands of men of your own kidney. You
can only do so by enlisting in the volura
teer service, and if you do not., the inference
will be irresistible that you felt yourselves to
be in a woftil minority on the popular vote, and
used this device to get rid of enough Union
voters to leave the management of our elec
tions in your hands.
The President's prcclamation has now been
issued long enough to allow ample time for its
effects to be witnessed. The copperhead Gov
ernors of New York and New Jersey have also
issued proclamations. But we have yet to hear
of any Democratic politicians responding to it
by entering the service. The municipal Coun
cils of Philadelphia and New York cities, both
controlled by copperhead majorities, have ap
propriated several millions of dollars for boun •
Use to induce recruits, but that is in the hope
of persuading Union men to enlist, so as to
leave a copperhead majority in each city to
manage the local politics. Not a man of the
copperheads has set the example of enlisting
under these offers, or of starting a rendezvous
among his fellow-copperheads.
Ample time will be allowed for them to show
what they can do, and the field will be left
clear for their operations. No Union man will
interfere with them. And when they have
manifested the hollowness of all their preten
sions by refusing to volunteer or raise volun
teers, the loyal Governors and the Union men
will raise the troops in their own way, and the
effort to obtain a copperhead majority at home
by sending away the loyal voters will be as
complete a fizzle as all the previous attempts
of the same kind have been. It will be many
a long day before the people of the ft ee States
will be caught napping as they were last fall.
They have learned the severe lesson that they
are a home garrison who have onerous duties to
perform.
Let the copperheads contemplate the recent
vote in Pennsylvania. They had piled up the
pyramid of fraud so high that they fondly
imagined they had the game in their own
hands. But the patriotic people have nobly
arrayed themselves on the national side in such
numbers as to overtop the enemy, and exceed
even our great aggregate or 1860. No amount
of drain of the Union strength to supply troops
for the army can exhaust the wonderful elas
tiaty of the party or the vitality of the great
cause. What we lose by volunteering we make
up in accessions from the Democratic ranks.
The course of the copperheads is constantly
driving over to us thousand§ of patriotic, ,
Valou-loving Deuicerete.. If we were to wand
forth 130,000 of our Union men now to rein
force Meade and Gil!more, we should get 75,000
to replace them hom the Dc.mccratic racks.
But before we conelncle to du so — as Lo doubt
in the end wo shall have to—we wart this
boastfnl friend of the volunteer, system, the
Democratic party, to take the charge of the
thing and show what it can do.
Union Leagues.
No instrumentality of recent origin has prov: d
more effective against copperheadiam than the
formation of Union Leagues. These combine
the merits of the social club with those of the
political association. They collect together in
an influential body the men of largest pecuniary
means, of most busineess capacity, and of largest
experience In the affairs of life, so that the
Union Leagues thus gradually assume-to them
selves the character of strong public bodies,
capable of no small exertion. We have noticed
with much pleasure the spread of these valua
ble institutions in various directions, and be
lieve they contributed a great deal to the re
election of Gov. Curtin. There is not a town,
city or village in the Commonwealth where they.
cannot be successfully instituted by associating
together the leading men of both town and
country. It will be of great use to these re
gions to have a respectable club room of this
sort, furnished with newspapers and books of
reference, to wh'ch the influential men of the
district could always go with a certainty of
meeting only friends, or being in: an agreeable
place. These Leagues a: e of great use as cen
tres of political interest, to which all the local
occurrences connected with the pending canvass
can be - c irried for information. If properly
conducted, they soon become of-great' social
importance also, and, indeed, open to the pto
ple of the interior a new phase of life to which
many of them have previously been strangers.
We, therefore, heartily commend to our Union
friends all over Pennsylvania the formation of
Union Leagues.
"Tobacco for Franee.,,
Under this head the Richmond Examiner, of
the 10th, has a paragraph assertiog that the
French government acme time ago bought a
large quantity of tobacco In Virginia, abd has
now dettumined to shad for it in government
vmels. This evasion of the blockade Would of
course fill the rebels with joy ; but it may be
asked, What is the use of a blockade if it can
be evaded in this way ? and why d d not the Em
peror fetch his tobacco long ago ? and why bother
himself with tobacco, when cotton is se mach
more needed by him? Of course, a foreign man
of war is permitted to enter a blockaded port, by
common courtesy ; but it is on the understand
ing that its commander will maintain the
strictest neutrality. And as for the Imperial
tobacco, the Emperor knows very well that if
he gees into trade he must observe the laws of
trade. He is not likely to do differently.
General McClellan,.
The Baltimore American was one of those
papers which, like the Express, was partial to'
General McClellan, and cordially suppor4ed him
so long as ho was in the field—as we do all
Generals while retained in their respective com
mands—thus speaks of the estimation in which
the Great Failure is now held by the loyal men
of the border States:
General McClellan has "spoken in public" at
last, and the time and occasion of giving utter
ance to his sentiments has swept from his side
all those truly loyal men who had adhered• to
him through good and bad report. Here in
Maryland his friends were numbered by thou
sands—they refused to believe the accusations
against his loyalty—they contended . that he
would in due time clear his escutcheon of, all
imputations—of lack of earnestness in the pro
secretion of the war and the maintenance ,of the
Union—but his. letter in opposition to the elec
tion of Governor Curtin, and in favor of the
defeated Semi-Rebel candidate, has dashed their
hopes, and made them ready to believe any
thing and everything that has been charged
against
Next to Vallandigliant there is no man in
the country whose loyalty had been more
strongly impeached than Judge WOodward's,
whose election as Governor of Pennsylvania
Gen. M'Clellan regarded "as called for' by the
interests of the nation." But; independent of
thiti, there was reason why General M'Clellan
should of all men have taken no part: in this'
contest, even if his political prejudices were
with Judge Woodward. We know that Gov.
I
Curtin was one of the most , earnest defenders
Of General M'Clellan, and that at as late a day
as the remover of Goneial Ef:oker from tho
command of the Army of "the Potomac he ac
companied a party of leading men from NOW
York and Pennsylvania to Washington, and
urged and tagged the President to reinstate
him in command. General knew
this fact, and also that he had on all ocoieions
disagreed with his political friends in their op l .
position to him—that he refused to believe
their imputations against his character as a
loyal man and a soldier; and had 104 influence
with the authorities at Washington on this ac
count. • , ,
But independent of all this, Gen. McClellan
knew that the party which hoped to elect Judge
Woodward is as disloyal as the secessionsts of
Maryland. They rejoice in Rebel victories and
mourn over their defeats. Their political ani
mosity to the Administration is so great that
they have lost all love of country and are ready
to sacrifice their nationality to 'atilt their
colitical opponents. Gen. McClellan has bii*
ken his long silence to array himself with these
malcontents, and by so doing has sunk himself
beyond all redemptiLn in the estimation of all
who are truly loyal. We want no such men in
command of loyal armies, and if the President
was satisfied of the sentiments now expressed
by a en. McClellan, we, for the first time in the
columns of the American, thank hint for persist- .
ently refining to yield to the urgent appeals
made to him for his reinstatement.
Loyalty of the Free.Dlasons.
The Grand Lodge of-Free and Accepted Ma-.
sons of Ohio met at Columbus, the capital of
that State, on Thursday last, and before the
close of their session passed unanimously the
following resolutions :
Reso?ved, That it is peculiarly pertinent and
proper that the Grand Lodge, in this! extrsor
dinary crisis' of our C3llO try's history, when
treason and rank rebellion against the beat Gov
ernment on earth stalk bo'illy forward and
threaten to subvert our liberties, should again
place upon record her utter condemnation of
the infamous traitors engaged in this unholy
work, and to empress her complete and thorough
determination to sustain the General Govern
ment in its effort to restore the Union of the
States at every hazard.
I?..asaved, That this Grand Lodge do, now re
affirm, as its unanimous sentiment, the folloir
trig resolutions,sadopted at its annual Grand
00mtimnication Octolier, 1884 viz
&eked, That this Grand . ;Og l e. of Voi
and Accepted Masons regard the doctrine of
ZOCEIFSIOII, as adycoAted by a certain class of
American politicians, as - a monstrous absurdity,
and if acquiesced in, the Constitution of the
United States would become feZo de se.
"Resolved, That in this present unnatural
contest the institution of Free Masonry has no
attribute that can take sides with rebellion.
" Resolved, That it is the duty of every Nior•
thy Mason, in this hour of bis country's peril,
to stand by the General. Government, even at
the expense of fortune and life; that the bless
ings of Constitutional liberty and Onion, as
handed down to us by our fathers,. may be en
joyed by 113 in our day and generation, and be
transmitted unimpaired to our posterity 'f( r
ever."

The . Crops of 1862 and 1863
WASnISOTON, Oct. 26, 1863.—The follow ing
is a summary statement of the amount of the
crops of 1862 and 1863, both summer and fall,
of the loyal States, as returned to and estimated
by the Agricultural Department, and furnished
to the press , generally by the Commissiener of
Agriculture, in advance of his monthly report
for September. •
Thn answers returner" to the circulars for
September the Agricultural Department,
asking information of the condition fof the
crops, are given in tenths, above or befow the
crop of 1862. Daring the summer the Depart
ment made an estimate of the amount of the
crops.Of 1862. This estimate was bleed on the
census retains of 1860.1 — As' the crop of 1859,
which was taken 135 the ammo, was 'below an
average, and that of 1862,
much above, it,
allowance was made for this difference, varying
in it+ amount according as the agriculture of
each State required. Tbe.general per cent. in
crease of each State was added. One-fourth of
the amount given - .in thnceneus was struck off
for, the retires forklissottri and Kentucky, on
account of the war. Thus calculated, the
crops of 1862 were made the basis for estimat
ing those of 1863, according to the tenths, in
crease or decrease, of each State; as reported
by the correspondents of the Department.

and flour exported to all countries, in the year

LATER FROM MEXICO
THE SAN DOMINGO REBELLION
NEW YORK, Oct, 28.
The steamer Roanoke, from Havana on the
21st, has arrived here. There is nothing new
from Mexico. The rebellion , in St. Domingo
continues to grow more powerfel and covers a
great extent of territory. The story that Pu
erto Plata has been destroyed by bombardment
is untrue.
The gunboat Port Royal sailed from Havana
on the 17th, on a cruise. While in port one
of her Sergeants of latrine had a fist fight with
a rebel, giving the rebel a good whipping, when
the sergeant was savagely struck on th head
by a weapon'in the bands of another rebel mor
tally wounding him. The authorities bare
arrested his would-he murderer.

Heavy cannonading was heard at Gainesville
to thy, which continued for more than two
hours up to noon, in the direction of Bealton,

Last night,. Let Ween, eight and nine o'clock,
ten or twelve ,teams of the reserved artillery
were captured by about one hundred and fifty
guerrillas when two miles from and proceeding
toward Warrenton. On first being hailed, the
guerrillas represented themselves attached to
.
the 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry, and soon after
ordered the teams to halt, when they stole the
mulei, but one-third of the animals were sub
sequently recovered.
This afternoon, about 4 o'clock, another band
came within half a mile of Banker Station,
fourteen miles of Alexandria, and captured
twenty-five or thirty mules, used, for hauling
wood, together . with the wagonmaster and
. .
several negroes They ordered the wagon
master to take than to where the guard were,
but one of the negroes having made his escape,
hurried to the guard and informed them of
their danger, When they prepared to give the
foe a warm reception. The guerrillas, evidently
supppsing:ili . ey wi.Ad make an easy conquest,
having been inforrned by the wagonmaster tbat
the guard numbered only six, when, in fact,
there were about thirty men, approached with
boldness, but were suddenly driven off by - a

armed, for the greater part, with pistols, and
had only a few carbines.
