VOTERS OF DAUPHIN COUNTY,
Beware 01 the Most Infamous
Falsehoods.
The emissaries of the Brecirenridge County Com
mittee are flooding Dauphin county with extras
printed at the Patriot and Union office, contain
ing the most infamous falsehoods ever uttered
by mortal man. These extras contain, among
other matter, articles refering to taxation
which are utterly false and devoid of the least
substance of both.
In one of the towns in the upper end of the
county, these lying emissaries made a landlord
believo that be would be obliged to pay a li
cense of $4O extra, if he kept a Bagatelle table
on his premised. This man not having seen the
tax law, went actually to work and removed
the table from his premises, on the representa
tion of the men who lay claims to respects..
bility in this city.
We ask every candid man, in the county of
Dauphin, whether persons who circulate such
wilful and malicious faistloods against the
Government, can be considered loyal citizens
STRAWS SHOW WHICH WAY 2HE WIND
BLOWS.
We noticed some days since, that H. Bucher
Swope bad applied for a writ of Meankfraus, to
compel the Commissioners and Associate
Judges of Clearfield county, to meet as a Relief
Board, under the Act of Assembly, for the pur
pose of affording relief to the families of sol
diers absent in the service and the defence of
the government. This application was stoutly
opposed by the officials, (all Breckenridge De-
mocrats,) who were to form this board, and in
response their counsel, W. A. Wallace, filed an
answer at once rich in legal lore, replete with
generosity and glorious with patriotic loyalty.
Mr. Wallace, for the respondents, tells the
Court that the Commissioners never for a mo•
went imagined that there was any thing like
compulsion in the law which provides for such
relief, and would have the people believe that,
when the Legislature passed this law to relieve
the families of those who were willing to trust
them to the care of each county, while
they, their natural protectors, were absent in
the service of the nation, it was in a Pickwickian
sense, or what is still more truthful, according
to Wallace's construetion, a locofoco sense, to
deceive honest men, delude brave soldiers, and
starve the families of the country's defenders.
Thus, Mr. Wallace, in this response, pleaded
most learnedly and earnestly against such a
disposition of the people's money as would
bring bread or shelter to the wives and families
of the soldiers. He insisted that because Clear.
field county had erected a new Court House,
such wives and families of the soldiers could in
justice be left to starve. He claimed that, be
cause the people had subscribed money, the
county should be exempt from all responsibility
in this matter. But the Court understood the
dodge. fudge Linn was aware that such men
as Wallace and his democratic clients who were
thus laboring to resist the law, could only be
made to feel the burdens of the war by compel
ling the county to take charge. of the families
of the soldiers who needed support. Accord
ingly the application for a writ of Mandamus
was sustained by the Court, and this board of
relief ordered to meet and transact business in
Clearfield county.
Thereader must remember that Wallace, who
was so forward and zealous in this contemptible
and most outrageous proceeding, is the Breck
enridge candidate for State Senator in he
Clearfield district. He is the pet of Bigler—
acknowledges the promptings of the ex-Senator,
and seeks a place in the approaching Legisla
ture, that he may contribute to the success of
his master, who once more aspires to Senatorial
honors.
Will the people elevate the hired advocate
of those who seek to starve the helpless women
and children of the soldiers, to a place in the
Pennsylvania Legislature ? We trust not.
WET ARR WE IV VOTE FOR?
There never yet was a political campaign
conducted in this state, but, before it was half
waged, the locoioco party succeeded in attract
ing the attention of the people from measures to
men , The same party that pursued Henry Clay
to his grave—that made Webster the object of
its virulence for years, and assisted in tra
ducing to death two warrior Presidents, has set
out again to snatch a victory from truth and
reason, justice and loyalty, by traducing the
men to whom it is opposed, with slander and
libel. It is not likely that the 'men who com
pose this party, even with the aid of a few pro
fessed, yet meanly hypocritical loyal men, will
succeed in this purpose, because the people
fully understand for what they are to vote—
what is to follow as the result of that vote,
whether it is to be of evil or of benefit to the
country.
Upon every vote which is cast on Tuesday
next, will depend the future credit and glory
of the country. Our political enemies have
made two issues the object of their struggle.
First, if they manage to get power, they have
arranged to repudiate the debt of the nation.
Every dollar that has been loaned to the gov
ernment—the interest thus far on that public
debt, and the support which the army must
have to render it victorious, will all be repudi
ated. Having failed to prevent the organiza
tion of a force to coerce the south into obedi
ence, and feeling that the armies of the Repub
lic can only be defeated in this manner, the tory
dough•faces have adopted this plan for the
overthrow of the government. If they succeed
in electing such men as William H. Miller to
Congress—and manage to get such demagogues
as Roumfort and Heck into the Legislature, of
course the appropriations atop. Heck displayed
his purpose on this subject in a late session of the
Legislature, by voting against an appropriation
to arm the state. Since the state and nation
have armed, the game now is to repudiate what
it has already cost to organise such an army,
and to refuse it all further support in the way
of subsistence and pay.
We all know what we are to support. We
know that we are to vote for the support of the
army—for the preservation of the public peace
—for the insurance of the public credit, and
thus of course for the vindication of the national
authority and power. One thing is certain, let
Pennsylvania be placed in opposition to the ad
ministration of Abraham Lincoln, and the re
bellion will become a success in the hour in
which that result is announced. That admin
istration represents the authority of the Gov
ernment. It is against this authority that the
rebels have armed. Strike down this Govern
ment, and of course we elevate rebellion. Ele 4
vate rebellion, and then indeed will come taxa
tion, because the entire costs of the war, as it
was waged by the Federal Government and
and rebel traitors, will be saddled on loyal men
to pay. Defeat the loyal candidates before the
people for election, and such a result will be
the end of the war—an end in which them loyal
states will be bound in a slavery far worse than
that which has held the negro in chains so long
in the south.
With these facts before you, voters of Penn
k 371 vania, the result depends upon your action.
It is for you to decide whether or not, the peo-
Ie of Pennsylvania shallhenceforth become the
mere dependants on the will sod dictation of
the aristocratic slave•holders of the south
forum certain as fate, if the election on Tuts
day next is decided in a manner to prove tha
the dough-face sympathizers with rebellion pos
seas the political power to control the election
so certain will the war of this rebellion succeed
UNION.
By dint of care, with a commendable cones'.
Olen on the part of the dominant party in the
loyal states, from the hour that the rebellion
broke out, the people in the same states were
united in sentiment as to its suppression, and
willing to support any measure which would
bring about this end the speediest. Bat the
moment an important election approached, this
unanimity and co-operation began to be die
, turbed and dispelled. The leaders who precipi
tated and encouraged rebellion began to make
issues with the government, until we now have
the sad spectacle of a people divided on issues
which should unite them, and at a moment
when the country needs the, services of loyal
men, we flnd those men who are loudest in
their profession of this loyalty, actually anta
gonizing the government—doing what the re
bels have armed to do, oppose the operation
of just laws, by ridiculing the effects they are
designed to have. Are the men aware, who
are employed in denouncing the tax law, of
what they are doing ? Are the people aware of
the danger they are incurring by listening to
the voice of treason as It is disguised in the so
phistry and far-fetched arguments of the tory
press? If they are not, let us warn them
in time, that they are trifling with dangerous
men. If they lend themselves to the cries of
the men who are now opposing the state and
national administration, and this opposition
succeeds, of course the rebellion must triumph.
I Nothing is surer than this. A blow struck
through the ballot-box at the national or state
administrations, is the same as that struck by
armed rebels. It would be even worse, because
it would lack the open audacity of an armed
traitor, who, bad as he is, commands our admi
ration in comparison to the dough-face who
stabs, as a cowardly enemy, while he openly pro
fesses to be a loyal supporter of the government.
The people who were united on the subject
of suppressing the rebellion, before the political
issues now made by Hughes and his hireling
press were thrust upon their attention, can be
and would be again united, if they paused for a
moment's reflection. If they reflect that division
in the loyal states, must be influential of dis
aster to the loyal cause, their patriotism will
unite them in a bond which all the lies of the
devil and his co-worker Hughes. could not
sever. The rebels are no longer anxious to seek
further battles with , the union men in arms.
They are willing to trust their cause to their
Breckenridge allies in such states as Pennsyl
vania, where, if the allies succeed in a blood
less victory, the rebels themselves would soon
be welcome to a bloodless invasion. Let our
friends remember these facts, because they are
stern and severe. We must have union and
pennaluanta IDailg Ceiegrap4, Clittroban 'Afternoon, eictotter 9, 1862.
harmony and action and decision among the
loyal men who se to vote at the coming elec
tion. Without thie, there can, be no victory,
achieved—and without a triumph at the coin
ing election such as will vindicate the acts of
both the State and National administration,
our hopes of alt6tss in the field will become
doubtful.
The money which is required to support the
army six months, would pay for the slave pro
perty of every loyal man In the South. It
would not only.do this, but it would do more
by thus striking a death blow at rebellion, of
course dispersing its armies, and necessarily
thereafter returning to their homes and their bu
siness in the loyal States, the thousands of men
who are now bider arms. This the tory sym
pathisers In the loyal States undratand, and
hence their opposition to the emancipation and
confiscation policy of President Lincoln. Let
this fact, therefore, be kept before the people.
Let the people fairly understand that the Ina
dere of the Democratic party are alone respon
sible for the slaughter of the war. Let the
fact be spread far and wide, that for every life
lost, for every widow and orphan made, and
for every dollar spent, the leaders and candi
dates of the Democratic party are alone respon
sible. If it was not for the reliance with which
Jeff. Davis and his associates depend upon the
support and sympathy of the clique at the head
of which Frank Hughes now stands, and the
tall of which the tory organ and the Brecken
ridge candidate for Congress in this district
compose, the rebel armies would have long
since been scattered and outlawed, and their
leaders become common vagabonds on the face
of the earth.
If we defeat the Breckenridge clique in this
state, we end the rebellion. If the news goes
forth, after the election, that the Union men
of Pennsylvania have triumphed, there will not
be a division in the rebel army but what will
feel its effects. The result will strike terror
to the rebel chiefs. It will end all hope of
further aid. But let the opposite be the re
sult. Let the dough-face traitors succeed—let
such men es Slenker and Barr triumph r -let
Killer be sent to Congress, and a shout will
come from the south, more terrific than any
which has yet signalized the victories of their
guerrilla bands.
These are facts which the people must re
member. Let no man be deceived on this sub
ject. Let every man remember that be must
vote as if he was face to face with traitors, and
not hesitate to regard as such any man who is
now opposing the efforts of the national admin
istration to crush rebellion.
HOW THE BRECKENRIDGEBB HOPE IQ
SUCCEED.
In Barks county, the tory dough-faces are put
to the most desperate means to counteract the
influence and the popularity of the Union cause
and the Union candidates. In order to defeat
Major Wanner, the Union candidate for Con !
gress, they have not only villified his personal
character, but they have misrepresented his
political principles. ALL TEE IS DONA WHITS
MAJOR WANNER IS MOBS THE REBEL TON MAGAG
niti IN THE MATT STE:MOEN TO PRESERVS THE
GOVERNMENT IN ITS MUTT Ano TOWER. But the
tories of Barks county are not satisfied with
this , as we learn from an extra of the Reading
I Journal. Determined to defeat Major Wanner,
and satisfied that they cannot do so fairly while
his name is fairly before the people, the Bead
log Adler, the organ of the Ancona clique (Ancona
being Wanner's opponent for Congress) has as
tuallypubfishede Rol am kfterreportie . s , to be the de
claration of Jlajor Worse,. al a candidate for Omplas.
The loyal men of the Berke district will of
course be apprised of this dastardly trick in
time to counteract its intended influences for
evil. In the meantime, we warn the the loyal
men of all districts to be on their guard. For
gery and falsehood go hand in hand with treach
ery. Our foes are in a desperate condition. Let
them be watched, and their defeat is certain.
And let the loyal men of Berke county—indeed
let the loyal men of every county in the state
be on their guard for the frauds which the
enemies of the government will attempt at the
approaching
THE PLATFORM OF ni.R TORY ORGAN.
The Toty organ has erected a platform, and
as the organ of the party in this district, the
candidates whom it advocates for election of
course are pledged to its support.
let. Repudiation of the War Debt, by an organi
zed resistance to the war tax This idea is daily
set forth in the columns of the tory organ.—
How do the people relish the loss of money
which was patriotically loaned to the govern
ment ? Vote for Miller or Roumfort, and you
vote to sustain this repudiation.
2nd. Repwkation of the national taxes, that the
pay of the soldier may stop. This ides is daily set
forth, as a means to give the Brickenridgers of
the south the victory, that the Breckenridgers
of the north may join bands with their old al-.
lies, and once more get possession of the gov
ernment. By starving the soldier, and by cut
ting off his means of support to his family, the
tory organ hopes to end the war. It is .the
doctrine which Is advocated with the knowl
edge and consent of every man on the Brecken
ridge ticket. Vote for Heck, Boumfort or Hil
ler, and the army will be starved, the families
of the soldier beggared—and this, added to the
bankruptcy of the American creditor, will con
stitute another of those brilliant victories which
adorn the banners of Breckenridge Democracy.
John Pettit is a candidate for Congress in the
Eighth District of Indiana. He represents the •
same party that Geo. M. Steinman does. In a
speech a few days ago he said : "If Old Abe
will come to me I'll tell him how to stop this
rebellion : Extend slavery over every state in the
Union, and the rebellion will be stopped in sixty days."
Miller, Roumfort, Heck and the tory organ
stand on the same platform. The Patrig labors
daily to induce the people to repudiate, to
prove that slave labor has rights more sacred
than those of free men, and, if possible, secure
the introduction of slavery into every state of
the Union. Do the people of Dauphin county
desire to see slavery established - in Pennsylva
nia? If they do, let them support the Becken
xidge candidates. .

FURTHER PARTICULARS.
s Desperate Character on the First Day
THE FINAL REPULSE OF THE REBELS
Heavy lon In Officers on Both Sides.
Oosont, Mime., Oct. 5
monism el the It. Louis Democrat.
On the morning of the 8d our outposts wet
attacked by the enemy in force, about six
miles northeast of Corinth. Before nine o'clock
the engagement becime.general and fierce, and
a sanguinary battle was fought.
Our men, under Bosecrans, stood up manful
ly, and fought with great coolness and. bravery.
But regiment after regiment, and brigade after
brigade poured in upon us, and we were forced
slowly backwards, fighting. desperately.
The rebels pushed forward with determined,
obstinacy, and held every foot of advantage
ground. They outflanked - our inferior force on
the left, and were attempting to get inour rear.
We were obliged to fall back still further, to
prevent this movement "faun being accom
plished.
The enemy were Mettle of our breastworks,
pushing us backwards towards the town, when
darkness put an end to . the fighting for that
day.. During the day's fight our loss was heavy,
but that of the enemy must have largely exceed
ed ours. Three pieces of the let Missouri bat
tery were captured.
After having stood for so many bouts before
the enemy's fire,, the men were consumed by
thirst and subdued the constant exertion.
Brigadier General llackleman fell, mortally
wounded, at the head of his Brigade. General
Oglesby was shot in the breast.
THE WEED DAT'S IWUT
About 4 o'clock op the morning of the 4th,
the enemy opened briskly on the town with
shot sod shell.
Oar batteries replied, and for an hour or
more heavy cannonading was kept up. At the
expiration of that time, two of the rebel guns
had been disabled, and shortly after daylight
their battery of seven guns were captured.
A protentons quietness soon occurred, and it
was evident that some movement was being
made by the enemy.
The Western bharpshooters, under Colonel
Burke, were ordered forward as skirmishers to
feel the enemy's position. At half-past nine
o'clock, they met the enemy within a quarter
of a mile of the advance of our line of battle,
advancing rapidly in heavy columns upon the
town. They immediately opened a murderous
fire on the skirmishers, who immediately began
to retire, returning the fire of the enemy with
enact.
The woods seemed alive with rebels, and it
appeared impossible for this gallant regiment
to escape destruction in their retreat over three
guarters of a mile of open ground, which inter-
Ironed between them and our temporary works
of. defence.
In a few moments the engagement became
general. Our batteries opened a destructive
fire on the exposed ranks of the rebels, mowing
them down like grass. The slaughter among
them was frightful. Bet with unparalleled da
ring and recklessness they rushed impetuously
forward.
They charged onr workadesperately,broke our
lines of infantry, and captured a small fortifica
tion, in Which the battery of the First Missouri
was planted.
Our fortune seemed to be all lost. A tempo
rary panic seized onr men, and the rebels once
more marched into the streets of Corinth.
New batteries opened upon them. Oar men,
soder the direction of a few crisageons officers,
and stimulated by their example, though
thinned in ranks, fought desperately. The ad
vance of the enemy was checked. They wa
vered, and then fell back. Our lost battery
we regained, and once more it hurled destruc
tion into their ranks.
The day was saved, and the enemy in fnl
retreat.
Our loss was comparatively small during this
fearful charge. That of the enemy was fully
twenty to our one killed.
Among the rebels killed and left on the field
was Brigadier General Rogers, of New Orleans,
Colonel and Acting Brigadier Johnson,of
and another Colonel commanding a bri
gade, whose name was not learned.
The enemy was commanded by Van Dorn,
Price and Villepique, with their respective army

TKO BATTLE AT CORIN'fll-ADDITIONAL PARTICIU
The Chicago papers of yesterday contain but
few additional items to what has already been
published, of the battle at Corinth. The Chi
cago rribune, publishing the official dispatches
of General Grant, prefaces them with the fol
lowing :
In order to gain a correct idea of the battle
of Corinth, it is necessary to go back to the
desperate fight of Inks, on the 19th of Septem
ber. Gen. Grant had information prior to that
engagement, that the rebel Gen. Van Dorn was
marching up with a heavy force to flank Co
rinth on the west, and to attack either that
place or Bolivar, Tennessee, while Price moved
simultaneously from Juke. Prices' discomfi
ture at luka delayed, but did not entirely frus
trate this plan. .. .
After
After the battle of the 19th, he retreated by
way of Marietta and Fulton to Tupelo, and then
marched northwest to Ripley, where he joined
Van Dorn and Lovell, and the combined forces
moved upon Corinth. It appears that their
main army marched north through Ruckers
vine and Jonesboro' to Pocahontas, on the
Memphis and Charleston Railroad, and then
moved down road to attack Gen. Rosen
crane. wbileanother column, probably Price's,
took the shortest route by'way of Kossuth.
The tolloiving dispatches `also published in
the Tribune are new :
Cerao, Oct. 6.—We have this morning the
