7HE ELECTION.
From all that we can learn, through the
most reliable sources, we believe that we will
win a glorious victory to-day. The people
seem fully to appreciate the importance of the
issue—an issue involving the means to crush
out rebellion, the influence to sustain the Gov
ernment, and the principles to preserve its pu
rity. With these on "our side," nothing but
our own apathy can defeat our candidates. If
we are fully impressed with the fact that, on
the result of this election depends the result and
victory of our brethren in the field, contend
ing against armed traitors, no honorable effort
will be esteemed too great to secure our success.
Let us remember, then, that the eyes of our
loyal brethren in the field are turned towards
the Keystone State this day—or who knows
but what those eyes are steadily gazing on
the traitor foe lo battle, or closed forever
in death. In either case we owe it to them
that the result of the election this day shall
not be a disgraos to the Union cause.—
Let those who have not voted think of this
and at once rush to the rescue of their country,
as it can be achieved through the ballot-box.
Let those who have vote I as loyal men, consci
entiously feeling that they have done their
duty, rejoice that they have lived to perform
such an act. Let those wh.o voted against light
and reason and truth, to give all and comfort
to the comT.non traitor foe, remember that the
execrations of generations yet to come will fol
low and curse their memories.
Friends of the Union, the struggle of to-day
will mark our rise or fall. Let us battle while
the fight lasts, and hope for victory while there
is strength and time left to strike a blow. With
our ballots we must keep time to the music of the
Union.
A MILLION OF MEN.
When the war in which the country has been
involved by the corruption and ambition of
certain Democratic traitors and high officials
placed in power by that party, was precipitated,
there was only one man then in position who
seemed fully to appreciate the crisis. At least
there was only one man who expressed any
thing like a proper estimate of the magnitude
of the danger to which the country was exposed.
Statesmen of high repute, were disposed to treat
the difficulty of rebellion with contempt. Men
who were looked to for practical propositions to
quell the armed forces of the South then being
armed against the authority of the govern
ment, seemed to content themselves with a
prediction instead of a suggestion, as if their
egotism prompted hem to the notion that they
could forsee results then hidden in dark, terrible
and portentous mystery. In this manner, the
country was lulled until Sumter was attacked.
After that assault, and after a demonstra
tion on the part of the people, lulling influ
ences were again invoked in the shape of bomb!'
of our power and ability to crush rebellion; boas
tinge made while we were only preparing for
that task. Again the country was startled by
the disaster and defeat at Bull Bun, and again
a mighty uprising was the result, but alas that
result brought no benefit, so far as the actual
crushing out of the rebellion was concerned. In
this manner we might go on, referring to casu
alties and results which have impressed the
nation with the necessity of organizing immense
forces, until we call up the present raid into
Pennsylvania, by a rebel cavalry force, seizing
horses and paroling wounded loyal soldiers,
burning army stores and supplies, levying con
tributions on the people, and humiliating the
national pride and power every mile they tra
verse on our "Oil.
When General Cameron proposed to arm a
million of men to crush out the rebellion,
a great cry was raised, and the proposition de
nounced as a wild and impracticable underta
king. A million of men I The mere suggestion
was bewildering. No nationm the world would
attempt to organize such a force. No govern
ment of Europe, that trains its people to mili
tary duty, and exacts its performance as one of
the essentials of allegiance, has attempted
within the last two centuries to organize such a
force, and therefore the idea of a government
that has ruled less than a century, that had no
existen3e when some of the governments of the
world that still exercise power were in their
prime, for such a gvvernmelt as ours to attempt
this organization would be both preposterous
and utterly impossible. Even if the organization
was effected, where would we find the man to
wield and control such a force? It would soon
become a demoralized mob; a danger and a
burden to the government which created and
put it in the field. In opposition to these ob
jections, Gen. Cameron used argument and en
treaty, alleging that the earnestness of the
leaders of the rebellion would never be appre
ciated until our people had suffered untold hor
ror, and the government been forced to the very
brink of destruction. He maintained that,
while the war was prolonged, the people of the
south would gather strength from the persist
ency with which they would be induced to
wage their war against the government, while
on the other hand, delay, defeat, disappoint
ment and death, would do its work in disheart
ening and destroying the energies of loyal men.
We do not assert that loyal men are disheart
ened, or that their energies have been wasted.
We believe that there is heart and energy in
abundance to Carry this war to a successful and
glorious conclusion, but is it fair or judicious to
put all this to test? Would it be politic to
waste the energies of the people by devoting
them a sacrifice to rebellion, instead of concen
trating and preserving those energies by calling
out their entire and united force. If General
McClellan had had under his command even
three hundred thousand men, his march into
Richmond would have been unobstructed. In
stead of this, he was hurried forward with less
than half that number. Had he now the force
which he should have, Pennsylvania would not
be invaded. Had we a million of men in the
field, rebellion would be reduced to such miser
able necessities before the new year, that its
own upholders north and south, would be em
ulous of each other's efforts to escape its re
sponsibilities, and seek protection by a profes
sion of loyalty.
It is not claiming too much for Gen. Cam
eron, to insist that without the full operation
of the policy which he sought to inaugurate at
the precipitation of rebellion, the war will be
indefinitely prolonged. He insisted not only on
action, but on overwhelming forces. He wanted
a million of men; and the nation still wants
such an army. When this force is organized,
so that the south can be overrun and every
traitor throttled, treason and rebellion will be
ended. Until then, we must expect to bear of
little but the terrible uncertainty which still
hangs over the operations of the traitors. We
must expect, too, to make sacrifices of men and
money.
—Let us hope, however, that such a force
will be speedily organized and operated.
FRANK BLAIR
These are the times for bold, brave men ; for
men who love the truth, and possess the valor
to defend it ; for men who honor justice, and
have the independence to stand up for it, no
matter the freezing coldness of the frown by
which they are sought to be intimidated, or
the magnitude of the power by which they are
opposed. Such men are the pioneers in a crisis
like this. They are not merely the fashion
ers of opinion, or the cultivators of a senti
mentality which has nothing to do with the
great ideas and progress of the times. They
develop energy, instead of elicit theory—they
arouse men to great practical efforts and tri
umph, instead of lulling them to rest as de
pendants on the precedents of the past. And
it is well for the age in which we live that we
have such men, or, convulsed as it is by the
wild fury of extremes on the one side, and the
sickly, cowardly sympathy of the other, the
race would be lost to passion, fury, bloodshed,
anarchy and total destruction. We are led to
these retractions by the announcement in 'the
St. Louis papers, that Frank Blair had been re•
nominated in that city as a candidate for Con
gress. The country knows how ably he has thus
far represented a Missouri district in the present
Congress—how fearlessly he has stood up to
the administration, supporting it calmly, ear
nestly and zealously, when some of those who
boasted most of their devotion to the President
6eemed to falter, hesitate and quail before the
magnitude of the work of supporting the Gov
ernment in its struggles with a monster rebel
lion. Such men as Frank Blair are as necessa
ry to the success of legislation, as pure and lofty
legislation is essential to the harmonious work
ing of a free government. Without the ear
nestness which they display in ail they do
—without the energy which characterizes all
their actions, timid colleagues would lose
their presence of mind, and, yielding to the out
side pressure which assails all legislative bodies,
thus renda legislation the mere sport and
play thing of plotting borers and speculators
in government.
We predict for Mr. Blair a triumphant suc
cess before the people in his distant Missouri
district. In this locality he has hosts of friends,
won by his eloquence during the Presidential
campaign, and we can safely write that next to
the triumph of our own candidates now so nobly
combating the influence of and the sympathisers
with treason, we shall hail the success of Frank
Blair as a tribute to a good man, and the vindi
cation of a good cause.
WILL ME ARMY GO INTO WINTER
QUART.ERS t
This is a question which now seems to be
agitating those who have been so anxiously
watching for the termination of the war. A
year ago, or perhaps later, we were told that it
was necessary for the army to go into winter
quarters, that its discipline might be effected
and full preparation made for an early spring
campaign. That spring and summer have pass
ed, and autumn is here with its premonitions
of winter, and so is the army here ; here, fur
ther north than it was one year ago, with rebel
cavalry circumventing its lines, and large rebel
forces invading territory that was deemed, a
year ago, beyond all possible danger of attack or
invest D. There is no use to shut our eyes to
these facts, or no use to hide , the fact that there
is talk of going into winter quarters both at
Washington and other points on the Potomac.
If this is so, it would be well to arrange those
quarters in a manner that other points besides
the Capital be protected. For the safety of the
people who live in the towns and cities along our
border, it would be well that forces be quartered
for their protection during the winter, because
if such raids as that of Gen. Stewart and his
cut-throats are to be continued, and ow people
are to be exposed to their fury during the
winter, we have a right to demand this
protection at the hands of the government.
At all events, it some movements do not
speedily take place, the season will interrupt
any that may be postponed, and thus the army
will be compelled to go into winter quartere,
and the people can meanwhile console them
selves with the cheering promises that there
will be an early spring campaign.
Gius. &swam, the rebel hone thief, who
bee lately made ouch a dashing raid into this
state, completely circumventing the army of
Clellan, and dazzling any thing that any
cavalry force ever attempted before, was at one
time in command at Carlisle Barracks. Be
was selected for this daring enterprise because
he is well acquainted with the topography of
the country, familiar with every road, acquain
ted with every mountain pass, and of oonne
just the manio o sanduct snob an adraapire.
'4111404",
gittinogluanta lOctitp telegraph, eutotrap afternoon, Clittober 14, 1862
There is no estimating the value of the infor
mation which Stewart will carry back to his
superiors. Unless something is done to seal
that portion of the state to these bold invaders,
they may yet accomplish its complete destruc
tion.
SOPERABIINDANON OF MXN.—There is, accord
ing to the census, an excess of 788,2L8 males
over females in the United States. This fact is
noteworthy, and ought to quiet the apprehen
sions of those who feared the war would cause
an undue preponderance of women after peace
was declared. No matter how bloody the war
may be, or how long it may last, it cannot make
away with three quarters of a million of lives.
The waste of life may make the sexes nearly
even ; but even then we shall be better off than
England, where the females are In excess by
nearly a million, and the social problem of the
day is how to provide them with husbands or
occupations.
GENERAL Buzrals VIOTOILY.—The defeat of
Bragg by Buell, appears to have been a more
decisive victory than at first believed. Bragg
has been compelled precipitately to retrace his
steps, and instead of continuing his retreat
southeastwardly, he has been compelled to
strike north again in order to avoid the troops
which are surrounding him on every side. He
will, undoubtedly, be closely followed and have
to fight another battle. By the time he leaves
Kentucky he will be tolerably well cut up, as
bad probably as Price and Van Dorn were in
Mississippi by Rosecrans. The rebel raids in
the West are not likely to add much to the
rebel strength or power of endurance. Their
armies have received two terrible blows recent
ly, which have considerably shattered them,
and they have , probably lostmore in ammunition
and arms than they have gained in plunder.

THE LATE REBEL RAID.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF ITS SUCCESS BY
BEN. McCLELLAN.
HIS ADDRESS TO THE ARMY.
HEAD QUARTZES, PLEASANT VALLIT,
Monday evening, Oct. 14. f
The news of the success of Stewart's cavalry
raid into Pennsylvania, and In the rear of this
army, has oco isioued unnecessary excitement
among the troops.
When it is taken into consideration that the
river is made fordable by a low stage of water
at so many points, and that tbe army of the
Potomac has a line of pickets extending from
Cumberland, a distance of 160 miles, makes It
an easy matter for a large rebel force of cavalry
to penetrate it.
The moment the fact of the rebels baying
crossed the river at McOay's Ferry became
known, every exertion was made to prevent
their escape, which was deemed necessary.—
Orders were sent to the different commanders
to move and occupy the positions assigned
them. Unfortunately, at this particular time,
a majority of the cavalry force was absent on
important duty at too great a distance to be of
any use in following Stewart. On an occasion
of this kind, infantry not being able to make a
lengthy march, are of no practical use, except
in guarding fordi ricer at hand.
When Stewart crossed at McCoy's Ferry, he
had fresh horses, they having been sent to that
point in advanoe. His movements after MSS
hag the Potomac were rapid. He marched his
force 92 miles in 25 hours. To accomplish this,
he had the fresh horses taken from the citizens
of Pennsylvania. From the time Gen. Plea
santon, commanding a brigade of cavalry and
one battery, left his camp until be came up
with the rebels at the mouth of the Monocacy,
at 4 o'clock yesterday morning, he had march
ed seventy-eight miles within twenty-four hours
without change of horses or resit. At that
point, while attempting to cross into Virginia,
the rebels were repulsed, and nine of them were
taken prisoners.
The total Lam on our side was one man
wounded.
Stewart finding himself unable to cross here,
moved three miles further down the river to
White's Ford where he made good his escape.
Gen. Pleasanton while pursuing him lost the
use of his guns---the horses giving out.
]t is believed that' the marches both of the
rebel cavalry and our own was the most extra
ordinary on record, and they show most con
clusively the perfeot folly - of attempting to
pursue cavalry with infantry.

that post. As such a report is circulated to
injure that battalion, I take the opportunity to
deny said statement. The government wish
ing to provide for further contingencies, has
determined to put our seaboard in a state of
defence. Fort Monroe being the key topur Cap
ital, becomes of the first interest, and a batta
lion of picked men are earnestly called for by
the War Department to garrison that place.
Said men will be enlisted for that and no other
purpose ; nor will they be liable to be sent out
