AN ELOQUENTLY PATRIOTIC SERMON.
REV. EDWIN W. MUTER
We print this afternoon, on the first page of
the TZLIGRAPIT, a sermon delivered in the city
of Philadelphia, on the day set apart by the
President of the United States, as an occasion of
fasting and prayer. Aside from the noble purpo_
sea Which dictated the preaching of this ser
mon, the lofty and sublime objects of the oc
casion which elicited it, and the no less pure
principles which its author sought to inculcate;
it will be read by the people of Harrisburg with
a pleasure mingled with pride, at the remem
brance that the clergyman who pronounced it
once occupied a high social position in their
midst. The sermon itself is a polished specimen
of pulpit oratory, argument and eloquence.
None but a master mind could conceive or an
educated tongue pronounce such a production,
and we know our readers will join us in the '
confession, after they have carefully perused
this sermon, of the same admiration for its
sentiments and respect for its author.
'Rev. Edwin W. Rutter formerly edited a
newspaper in this city, and was known then for
the zeal and ability with which he defended
and advocated the peculiar doctrine of his party,
and no less known or respected for his high
social and personal accomplishmenti He is
one of those finished scholars capable of adorn
ing any position, while the political arena could
gratefully spare an intellect which thus devotes
its power to give force and usefulness to a higher
and a nobler part of duty. Since Rev. Rutter
has occupied a position in the Philadelphia pul
pit, he has achieved a great reputation and of
course accomplished much good. This could
not have been otherwise with a man of his rare
abilities and kindly feelings, and, with his
friends everywhere, we join in congratulating
him on this, his last and best effort in defence
of God and Liberty.
LOOK OUT.
For fraud and deception on the day of the elec
tion. It behooves every loyal man to look
close to his ballot. See that you have the whole
ticket. See that the votes aro not destroyed or
any, undue advantage taken. Stand by the
whole ticket, and thus sustain your friends and
your principles. Our ticket is composed of men
in whom we can repose confidence—men who
have been tried, and it is .a duty every true
friend of his country owes to himself, to give it
an undivided support. Let there be no split
ting. We fell assured every true hearted free
man will do his whole duty on Tuesday next.
DON'T TRADE.
We caution the friends of the. People's Union
tioket against the attempts which will be made
to trade. We say to our friends in every dis
trict, do, not give countenance to any project of
this kind. The only hope of the opposition, if
they have any hope at all of success, is to trade
off all their ticket but one, and thus endeavor
to slip in that candidate. This must not be
permitted. Let all loyal men see to it, and
caution their friends to be on their guard. Let
the motto be "THE WHOLE TICKET."
SOME OF TILE DEMOCRATIC Roams who have
gone to Washington to suborn the vote of the
volunteers, use the argument that the soldiers
shmild vote for the Democratic legislative tickets in
ordes: to bring the war to a dose! This is another
evidence of the fact that the dough-faces desire
the election of such men as Dr. Heck, that they
.may be enabled to pave the way to a compro
mise with traitors. Remember this fact, loyal
men of Dauphin county, when you vote on
Tuesday net, and see that Heclria not returned
to the legislature.
A LAST 'WORD.
BEWARE OF SPURIOUS TICKETS AND SLANDEROUS
prlrmr;
We are on the eve of another great political
contest, involving principles essential to the suc
cess of the deadly struggle in which our armies
are about to engage with a horde of rebel
traitors. We tender, therefore, a last word to
the independent men who have thus far rallied
around the nominations of the people's con
vention. We ask them to remember that the
principles involved in this contest, are far holier
than any which ever engaged their considera
tion or challenged their preferences. If the
county, honored as having within its limits the
state capital of the Old Keystone falters or
confesess a sympathy which amounts to an
allegiance with rebellion, the commonwealth
may as well prostrate itself and all its citizens
bend their necks to receive rebel slave hold
er's yoke. Therefore we ask our friends to
stand firm in their devotion to the ticket the
People have presented for support. We must
elect every man nominated on that ticket, from
Hon. John J. Pearson through the entire list of
capable and honest men to Henry Peffer. They
must all be elected. The defeat of one man
would be a'disgrace as great as the defeat of all
—and therefore all must be elected to secure our
faith in allegiance, our interest in free institu
tions, our welfare as citizens of this Union, and
our dignity and independence as free men !
We must beware of spurious tickets ! The old
game, without which the locofoco tricksters in
this county have never succeeded, of issuing
spurious and garbled tickets, is now being play
ed with a desperation unknown even to these
desperate demagogues. Let no reading man be
deceived by this trick. The ticket we print at the
head of our columns is the only genuine Union
ticket before the people. All others have men
on them as candidates who were and still are
deadly opposed to the war to suppress rebel
lion—hostile to the policy of enforcing the
law against political offenders, and most
bitterly denounciatory of that principle which
seeks to elevate free white above slave black
labor, by recognizing it as a power and
element of greatness in this government, and
advocating its protection and encouragement as
a means of increasing our local prosperity and
national wealth. The people of Dauphin county
must not abrogate these issues in this contest.
While they are on the alert for spurious tickets,
let them also uphold and defend these great
principles, making them the watchword and
battle cry, and depending alone on their purity
and force for success.
We must beware of slanderous handbills! Bulle-
tins containing all kinds of falsehoods—circulars
replete with slander and vituperation—the re
cord of good men perverted, and the independ
ence of honest candidates utterly misrepre
sented, will be among the last tricks with
which the sympathisers with rebellion will
seek to warp the judgment and shake the pre
ferences of the loyal men of Dauphin county.—
But these must be met and spurned as weak in
ventions of the enemy. The justice of our cause
is too well established to be affected by a false
hood. The purity of our candidates is beyond
the reach of vilification. The dignity and im
portance of the hour forbid that we should al
-1 low ourselves thus to be duped when the exist
ence of the American Union is the issue. There
fore, we again urge our friends, neither to pe
ruse or heed any of the lying, slanderous bul
letins that are being prepared to deceive them
in the last hour of the fight, and when victory,
too, is in our grasp !
We send this last word to our friends, believ
ing that they will.be warned against the tricks
with which their ancient foes and the foes of the
country's prosperity have ever triumphed ! Let
us be true to our colors—true to each other—
true to the country—for the sake of ourselves
each other and our country !
John Cessna and the Legislative
Ticket of Bedford and Somer
set Counties.
The Republicans of Bedford and Somerset ,
counties, in the beginning of the present cam
paign, made proposals to the Union Democrats
of that district to form but one ticket based on
the principles of sustaining the government in
the present war, and with that view Joni
CESSNA, Esq., was agreed upon to be the repre
sentative. from Bedford, and E. M. SCHROK,
Esq., from Somerset county. Before the no
mination was fully made however, the
Democrats held a convention, and before
nominating a ticket, the difierent candidates
for nomination were questioned whether they
would accept the nomination of any other party
or permit their names to be placed on a ticket
in opposition to the democratic ticket. Mr.
Cessna at once responded in a manly spirit by,
stating that he would not accept the nomination of
any otherparty and he further morepledged him
self plainly that he would support none but a
democrat for the various offices to be filled by the Legis
lature, we give Mr. Cessnafull credit for the frank
avowal thus made and published over his own
signature in the Bedford Gazette. He has plain
ly refused to accept the nomination of the Union
party and can therefore not ask the support of
any Republican Union man, yet we understand
that strenuous efforts are to be made to obtain
the volunteer vote now encamped here for Mr.
CESSNA. Mr. Cessna declared emphatically that
he would always vote as a democrat and is therefore
' not entitled to the support of the Republicans
who are the only true Union men.
GEORGE W. HOUSEEOIIEE, from Bedford, and
&mow M. Samos from Somerset are the
true Republican Union candidates before the
people from that district. They are both honest
and able to represent those counties in the Le
gislature, and we trust that all loyal Union
men will give them their support.
P. S. Since the above was in type we have
found a copy of the Bedford Gazette containing
Mr. Cessna's letter in full, and we give it to
our readers verbatim, so that they may determine
whether he is entitled to the support of any
Union man. "Democracy is the motto with
him." Here is the letter, read it carefully:
Prior to a Tote being taken upon the nomina
tions, the following resolutions were present
ed to, and unanimously adopted by, the Confer-
Basked, That the nominations made by this
Conference, are not intended as an endorsement
p enn op It) atti a IDailp it elegral3l), Saturbav afternoon, October 5, 1861.
of the peculiar views or of the past course of
either of the candidates.
Resolved, That the following questions be ad
dessed to the several candidates before this con
ference, and answers to them respectfully solic
ited :
1. Are you in favor of maintaining the or
ganization of the Democratic party, as against
every other political organization ?
2. Will you vote with the majority of the
Democratic members of the House, on all ques
tions of organization, and on all political issues?
3. Will you allow your name to be placed
on any other than the regular ticket of the
Democratic party ?
In reply to the above interrogatories, Mr.
Cessna submitted the following :
I answer the first question thus—l have never
in any way been attached to any other political or
ganization than the Democratic Party, nor have
I any idea of being so connected for political
purposes, if Providence shall spare my country
and its Government—lf the Government is not
sustained j l consider the future;of political or
ganizations as promising but little:to us as a
people.
2. I answer, on questions of organization and
political issues, I never thought of voting, if
elected, except as a Democrat, nor will I, un
less the higher duty of country, should convince
me that my political associates are in error
upon some particular question.
3. I have never offered my name to any
other organization, nor has any offer been made
to me by any such organization • nor ms , have I
any intention so to do. JOHN C.MSNA..
Sept. 3d, 1861.
On motion Messrs. Levan. and Cessna were
then nominated as the candidates of the Demo
cratic party of the district.

ENGLEEHENT WITH THE ENEMY AT
Victory of Gen. Reynolds over the
This morning at one o'clock a portion of Bri
gadier General Reynold's brigade, consisting of
three Ohio regiments—the 24th, 25th and 32d
—and portions of six Indiana regiments—the
7th, 9th, 13th, 14th, 15th and 17th—together
with detachments of Bracken's Indiana, Robin
son's Ohio and Greenfield's Pennsylvania caval
ry, and detachmentabf Howe's regular, Loomis'
Michigan and Daum's Virginia artillery, num
bering in all 6,000 men, left Cheat Mountain to
make a reconnoissance in front of the enemy's
position on Greenbrier river, twelve miles
distant.
Colonel Ford's. Thirty-second Ohio was sent
forward to hold an important road, the occupa
tion of which prevented the enemy from flank
ing our main column.
The expedition arrived in front of the ene
my's fortifications.
At eight o'clock their pickets retreated after
firing an ineffectual volley. Kimball's Fifteenth
Indiana was immediately sent forward to secure
a position for Doomis' battery. Ammin's Twen
ty-fourth Ohio deployed as skirmishers on the
south side of the mountain.
Loomis' battery getting in position, supported
by the Seventeenth Indiana regiment, opened
the battle. The shot was immediately respond
ed to by an enemy concealed in the bush, but
who were soon routed by the Fourteenth Indi
ana, with a loss of seven killed, a large number
wounded and taken prisoners.
Howe's battery, supported by the Thirteenth
Indiana, then moved forward, taking a position
three hundred yards nearer the enemy's fortifi
cations, opening a brisk fire.
The firing on both sides was almost incessant
for one , hour, our artillery • doing execution,
judging from the lamentable shriek of the
wounded. The enemy's battery did compara
tively little injury, their guns being too much
elevated. Our guns effectually silenced three of
their guns.
While observations were being made of the
enemy's fortifications, occupying three more
hours, an irregular artillery fire was kept up,
occupying the enemy's attention.
During this interval, the Twenty-fifth Ohio
and Fifteenth Indiana regiments rendered effi
cient service in scouring the mountains before
the close of - the reconnoissance, which was most
satisfactory.
The enemy received heavy reinforcements
from their camps near Monterey, making their
strength about 16,000.
Although this reconnoissance partakes more
of the character of a regular engagement than
any previous battle in Western Virginia, our
loss is but ten killed and eleven wounded.
It is impossible to ascertain the loss of the
enemy. It will not, however, fall short of 500
killed and wounded, as our artillery did terrible
execution.
Their camp was situated on the slope of the
mountain, supported by a number of guns.
We captured thirteen prisoners from the ene
my, and also a lot of cattle and horses.
The reconnoisance proved entirely successful,
affording information relative to the enemy's
strength, which could not be ascertained from
scouts.
Our troops acted nobly. •

Sr. Lours, Oct. 5.
A special despatch to the St. Louis Democrat,
dated JEFFERSON CITY, Oct. 4, says :
The steamer Emilie arrived this evening with
the wounded from Lexington. About one
thousand rebels remained in Lexington on Tues
day morning. Mr. Prescott, a citizen of Lex
ington, who was in Mulligan's fortifications
during the seige contradicted the report that
Sturgis had arrived there.
Mr. Prescott rays he heard Price tell Rains
and Parsons that now is the time to fight, if
they ever intend to. He heard them discussing
the propriety of falling back to fortify R ose
ThU, in Johnson county, fifteen miles west of
Warrensburg. He thinks, however, that their
real intention is, to retreat southward, or to the
Arkansas river. Since the surrender, they had
raised two cannon at the foundry in Lexington,
which increased their field pieces to thirteen.
They also had two mortars.
Col. Mulligan was taken south with Price.
Most of our army have gone forward well ap
pointed, and likely to do splendid fighting.
Gen. McKinstry's division, under Lieut. Cot.
Lotton, moved west to-day and will encamp to
night eighteen miles out. Capt. Able and
Henry Store, who were captured a short time
since while carrying dispatches from Gen. Fre
mont to Gen. Lane, and were confined fifty
hours in a dungeon at West Port, came down
on the Emilie, having escaped from Lexington.
Capt. 1). D. Stanley of the Regular Cavalry,
who distinguished himself at Dug Spring, has
been appointed Brigadier General and will as ,
sume command of the Cavalry Brigade of Fre
mont's command.
Gen. iiillinstry is not to be transferred to
Kentucky he will have command of the Fifth
Division of the atmy of the West and will start
west to-morrow. It is thought that Gen. Fre
mont wilatilso leave to-morrow. He and his
army are enthusiastic and confident, and are
