SPIRIT OF THE TORY ORGAN-AN ELM, T 10NERLIVG TRICK The tory organ has not, it seems, passed a night in reflection, or if ithas, the result is a complete "crusher," iu the way of treasonable language and sympathy, this morning. That is, it postpones its usual rehash of treason, for the purpose of making political capital out of the draft. By doing so, it questions the loyal ty of the people, and hopes, in an underhanded manner, to create a feeling that the military authorities are oppressing the masses—forcing them into servica by means of the draft. This is a sly dodge, and on account of its originality, we must give credit to Frank Hughes for the matter. On the same subject of the draft, while alluding to the rumor that the President in tends to order an additional draft of 800,000 men, the tory organ insists that "the abolition ists should be compelled to furnish the whole number." We can assure the tory van that every abolitionist in the service has faithfully performed his duty, not like some people we wot of, ever absent when battles were to he fought. Aside from these low flings, the organ, this morning, is stale, flat, and unprofitable. TEE SOLDIER HOST VOTE. Those who Battle for the Defence Have a Right to Vote for the Control of the Government. The law of Pennsylvania clearly gives the soldier who is absent in the defence of the corn. tnonwealth the right to vote for those who are to administer its government. This law is still on the statute books. Its provisions have never been pronounced unconstitutional—its justice has never been questioned except by those who are indirectly parties to the rebellion for the overthrow of the government and the destruc tion of the Union. We believe that it is the duty of the Gov ernor to issue his proclamation, providing for such election to be held in the orations camps throughout the country, which contain compa nies or. regiments organized by citizens of Penn sylvania. If this duty is neglected, it will be the virtual disfranchisement of those who, above all others, have a sacred right to vote. The soldier, when he entered the ranks, did not dream of yielding a single political right which he exercised before—his enlistment was not made in the faith that his disfranchisement would follow. Those who seek to give this construction to the law, we care not whether it is by legal reasoning or judicial theorising, do so for the purpose of counteracting the senti ment which seeks expression in favor of the government, and thus insure the success of the traitor cause. The men who are absent from the state, are commanded by officers commissioned by the Go. veroor—are on a service to fulfill the obligation which the state owes to the Natiofial Govern ment—have gone forth with full expectation of returning to Pennsylvania, because their fami lies reside within its limits, and all their btu:fi nessed interests are centered here. On the ac tion of legislation, as we have before main tained, such bualneat in part depends'for Bocce*. On the result of an election, that legislation may be controlled against the interests of those who are absent, armed and battling for the de fence of the state. Shall these men be deprived of their voice in a choice of such legislators ? Shall their local interests be bartered away by local demagogrtesaud office-hunters, while they are in the ranks of the army ? The very ques tion is preposterous—the very idea revolting. Therefore, let Gov. Curtin issue his proclamation that each election be held in every camp where there is a Pennsylvanian. Let the state assure her eons that wherever they go in her ser vice, the protection of her laws, the franchises of her gov ernment, and the prestige of her name fol low—follow in their full grandeur and glory—so that our brother may feel that while his arm is bared for the fight, his voice and his vote are as potential in the government of his dear old Commonwealth, as if he was at home, combat ting the corrupt demagogues who are now so desperately plotting for political power. We, repeat, again, let the soldier vote. Let progir4iptice be at once Made to hold such elections in the different camps. Let the ' Goveriistitisime his proclamation to that effect— and our political victories will be made as splen did by tbe VO* of the soldier, as our martial triumphs' are made complete and glorions by his valor. WHICH FURNISH THE FIGHTING MR N? With a class of brawlers etch as are now leading the forlorn squads of the Breckhoridge ' factions in the loyal states, it is a comulOn boast that, "the Democracy are doing the batiliv of this war." Of course this is idle boast, and if the boast did not do any more harm than stain the , lips and pollute the hearts of those who make it, with its falsification, we could afford to pass it by with contempt. But as these lies have been adopted as a portion of the system of electioneering inaugurated by Prank Hughes in the matter which he is now' furnishing to the. Democratic (God save l t he mark) press of the state, it becomes the lover of t the truth to meet and explode all such dastardif yet peculiar Locofoco tricks. A writer for the Philadelphia Press contributes to this expostir in a very few words, and insists that it mils, be plain to every mind, if the Democrats re form three-fourths of the rank and file of t army, (he enrolment will show that a greater par centage of the fighting population have en listed in the Democratic than in the Republi can districts of the state. Now, the enrolinent shows the very reverse of this, for from it' it appears that a far greater per centage of the fighting population of the Republican districts have gone to war than from the Deinodratic districts. The Democratic county of Nor.: thaw ptou has sent less men to war thau; the Republican county of Blair, and yet Blair polls but little More than one-half the vote of Nor thampton. The Republican county of llicifeari has sent more men to war than the Democratic ~aritymf Monroe, and yet Monroe polls fifty per cent. more votes than McKean. The fighting Quakers of Republican Chester county have sent within five per cent. as many men to war as Democratic Berko, and yet the vote of Berke is thirty per cent. more thee Chester's. I , The combined vote of the Republioatt.counties of Letwrence, Union, Clinton and Blair, at'the last Presidential election, was fourteen thou sand fohundred and MY-three, and the com bined'-'le of the Democratic counties, of Barks, Northampton and Monroe, at the EMS election, was twenty-seven thousand three hundred and thirty-three; yet the Republican counties named have sent to the war over three hundred more mentia - n the Democratic counties they are contrasted with, although they polled hardly mole than half the number of votes. We boldly assert that, if the Marshal's re turns from all the loyal states were made pub lic, the same exhibit would be presented as that which is exhibited in the returns from Pennsyl vania. If all the returns from all the countlei in the state could be fairly laid before the p* ple, these Breekinridge brawlers would be coin pelted, by very shame and chagrin (if such an impulse as shame is left in their natures,) to cease their boastings. The fact would be reveal ed that the men who are fighting our battles, are not those who have been accustomed to eat dirt at the feet of the men who make slavery of more importance and value than Liberty and Union. It would be revealed that a large portion of the masses of the once power ful Democratic party bad turned their hacks on their old, corrupt and cowardly leaders, that , they were standing shoulder to shoulder with the gr,- at masses of the Republican party, offer ing their blood and sacrificing their lives in defence of a government that Breckinridge Democracy has rushed to the brink of ruin. Let us, then, hear no more'of these questions, Where are your Wide-Awakes ? Where are your .Reineblicaus? TREY ARE IN TEEN UNION ARMIES OR THEY ABS IN THEIR GRAVES SLAIN BY SLAVERY, THE SACRIFICES OF TREASON BROUGHT ABOUT BY BRECKINRIDGE DEMOCRACY ! THE BAGGING or Me BMW in Maryland was unexpected, it now seems, on the part of the public, too great to be realized by 'our army. Such a result would have been inexpressibly gratifying; but such an achievement was well. nigh morally impossible. A garrison may be captured; a few thousand men may be surroun ded by overwhelming numbers and made to surrender. But one army can hardly capture another nearly if not its own size. Indeed the "great victories" of history nearly all fall short of this. Harmon almost invariably whipped hie enemies; but he seldom nabbed them. The battle of Waterloo was decisive against the "dark brewed man of Austerlitz," but the French army was .beaks, not bagged. As has been well observed, "Witmenrces won the bat tle, but BLUCHER reaped the fields of victory." It was by following up and harreseing the rear , of the flying foe, that the work of disaster was arespleial. So it will be in the present instance. The Rebels were defeated in Maryland. It may be possible to convert that defeat into a rout; to follow them up so closely as to break them In to fragments. If this is done, the war is virtu ally ended; if not, no vital advantage has been gained. We have repulsed an insolent foe; but we have not beaten out his brains. He will "still live" to vex and worry us; "still live" to fight other battles—possibly to achieve other successes. SISVIRY is.the cause of a Re hellion which has cost us Millions of Treieure and Hecatombs of Lives. This Rebellion against a Government which protested and cherished alike the rights and interests of all the States, has neither justification or excuse. The forfeiture of Slaves will be a light penalty for so great a crime. . . Fuca( ALL Acconwrs, given to us by officers and privates who me respected at horde for their courtesy and their veracity, Gen. Reynolds did not elevate himself by his conduct towards' the militia of Pennsylvania, during their late demonstration on the border. We have the assurances of several gentlemen, that his eon duct was outrageous. So much so, that_ at one time a revolt was actually threatened by some of the men. When will the officers of the reg ular army learn that the people are their mas ters, and that when they rouse in their might, as they did in this state a week ago, it is not to be treated as serfs or dogs.

The wilole day of Thursday was occupied in buryinglike dead and administering to the wounded; but;, when nightfall came many were still midi& for. During the night the enemy reiYtalsed the river sl2 ford below SheppardatoWn; the bridge at theilatter place having been destroyed. The rear guard of the rebels was onivarvshour in advance of our forces. Our suppif of muni tion being small,•it was not deethed: expedient to follow the "butternuts," as otir soldiers gen erally term them; across the river.

' Of this we shall not speak 'further, only sremarking, had the rebels treated our dead: in the manner alluded to, there would:have been a terrible , " hue and cry" about it. Their dead are not yet, at the present writing, all buried, owing to the extent of the battle-ground—through corn fields and thickets—although search isibeing energetically made. The horses killed in the action have been burned. Our detail found on Friday a place where a number of broken caisous and cannon carriages were strewn, but . the cannon were missing. In the vicinity were a number of new made graves. Thisbeing suspicious, one was opened, when it -NU found to contain a brass field' piece, of English manufacture. Fourteen can non were thus exhumed. For miles, remains of the battle can be seen. Arms, knapsacks and clothing lie scattered in all directions. Among the latter were found a large number of letters, several of which were sent you. One letter, taken from the pocket of a dead rebel; was frota a young lady in Al abama, who earnestly desired. her lover to "send her the shin-bone of a dead Yankee to make a blow horn of." W hat would that young lady think, should we, acting. upon her suggestion, send her the shin-bone of her lover. Many. incidents.of Wednesday's battle have come,to our knowledge; which, had we time, should write you.c It is not known yet what will be: the destination of this army—but bear in remembrance one 'thing, that wherever it goes in the future,•victory•will follow it—and when. this rebellion :is crushed out forever, there will bo."no higher honor than to belong to the army of thaPotomac."
