'WEDNESDAY EVENING, RAY 11, 1864.
THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE POR PRESIDENT,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
FOR TIIR AMENDMENT. OF THE. CONSTITUTION
GRANTING THE •
SOLDIERS' 'Rib - fit - 4'o VOTE;
Special Dispatchec . to the Telegraph.
Without ,making any pretensions, we still
believe tliat we are justified in callingattention
to the complete war new reports we have been
able to'give the Peeple of Harrisburg and the
towns lying west and east, north and south of
us, on - the Pennsyrirania,Ciamberland and Leb
anon Valleys and the Northern Central 'rail
roads. Since the great conflicts which be
gan to rage in Virginia on Thursday last,
we have - been in advanee . with reports thereof,
of all our cotemporaries west of Philadelphia;
and by our regular editions and extras . , we
have been able to keep the public correctly ad
vised of all important movements and re
sults in the ArMy'of the Potomac. We'haVe
been ably assisted in this enterprise ,by our
special eorrespondent,Mr. CharlasH.Atiiffeim;
whe May be justly regarded - as one of'the
very ablest and most industrioux reporterS'in
the country. - -
::-Tbe expense of procuring such news over
the telegraph wires, is only known to those .
who understand the rate. of prices for tele
graphing. But as it has always been and ever
will be our object to serve to our utmost those
who read the TELEGRAPH, expense is net a
consideration when news is to be procured.
As we have thus gone on in this matter, we
shall continue, rendering the TEREHEAPH both
a reliable and a prompt news medium:
Person;il.
Col. Jackson, of the 6th 11. S. Heavy Ar
finery, a portion of whose regiment was so
'brutally assassinated at Port Pillow, is a bro
ther of the Rev. J. Walker J,llson, of this
city. Col. Jackson rose from the ranks, hav
ing entered the volunteer army at the begin
ing of the war, and having fought gallantly
in many of the sanguinary battles which shed
such a halo of glory over the campaigns of
the South-west. His brother, Rev. J. W. J.,
•
while:he takes no part in the armed conflict
for the preservation of the Union and the Tin
dieation,of the National! authority, 'is never
, theless constantly enthusiastically engaged in
the service of his country, and with eloquent
advocacy, noble, defence and stirring appeals,
dealing with foes 'whom the sword cannot
' reach, and fighting battles unsaxiguined by
shot or shell, yet fraught with the highest
importance to, t the Nation. Long may these
brave brothers live, the one in the field and
the otherinthe pulpit, to serve their country
and honor their Godl
Among then:tally - eminent and clistinguiihed
lawyers now in:attendance at the Supreme
Court, we notice George M. Kline, Esq., of
Lancaster city, to whom we would refer more
particulrirly as being one of the steady Demo
crats who, in October last, forgot party in their
ardor to uphold and defend the country. Mr.
Kline took a prominent part in the guberna
torial contest, and made some of the ablest
speeches of that campaign in- favor of the re
election of Andrew G. Curtin.- The weight of
such a man's .influence is worth more than
that of.a dozen noisy demagogues, a ‘ nd in all
countries Where a pure principle pervades
the Government; such men are always with
the right. In the great political contest to be
fought this year, there is no doubt that Mr,
Aline will again take the Stump in advocacy
of his Government, while, too, there can be
no doubt as to the great influence he will then
be able to wield.
%TT= itUrti than George W. Woodward
men who know no guile and whose souls ere .
devoted to the country, ifs, ;glory, honor and
perpetuity—such. men hive lest sons, and
yet the sneaks who ..control the columns of
the Tory Organ have never deigned to offer a .
word of consolation to such as these litit
have rather added to tie poignaac r ici Of theit
sorrow by denouncing the struggle in which
these who perished were engaged. If young
Woodwar4.was gallant, the father of the hero
has no right to claim a share_ in the fame
`which such a soldier has left, because when
the hero entered the service of the Republic,
it was against the, protests of his 'sire. Let
sueli men, then, in peace mourn their affiic
tionirat from the country at large they have
no right to seek for consolation; becanse they
,
made, no sacrifice. Nor have Others who now
eovertlreild:•.meanly' anci - turgratefilly assail
;their country, a right to, look -for extenuation
of their political crimes because they happen
'to babe sons in the 'army. A tory has no,
share inAhe glory of a gallant son, shy more
than a brave soldier wilt he held responsible
for the treason of a traitor father.
A GOOD Rutz is perpetrated by, the Fulton
Democrat, in`its notioe of our Congressman.
Of course the adulation was designed to be a
species of sarcasm which the family organ
could not disco:ter, but Which it gobbled up
as being seriously intended as "a'

he essays to metre a defence or eilidraie in an
advocacy of the interests of his constituents ;

for legislative effect, while his 'votes on all

Two species of Northern Rascals.
A. great Crisis such as the one through which
the country is now passing, has a tendency to
produ& some strange
,and darkling rest:ll6i
growing out, alike; of the necessities of 'the
people and the, perplerities,of business. In
one sense, it ctnnot be expected ghat the
equilibrium and the reciprocities of trade and
business peculiar to times of profound peace,
can be preserAted or observekin_tbs:inidst of
war. The sudden demands of large armies,
the immense waste of the camp and incalcu
lable deetritition Of the 'battle &Mona what

nations, or arranging the difference -between
'"governmentii and the goVerned.' rAnd , ixr-the
same sense, it. is not the direct influence
which a state of war exereisas on the busi
ness of country engaged military
operations, but the indirect , . power which
it gives to the crafty and tliB speculative, the
schemer and . the money-greed, to excite the
cupidityland arodse the appitherisiOnis 'of 'Alio
timid, until from the confusion thus produced,
trade is panierzed, the cdnsumex *oppressed;
the great maps ..pilfered,Pad' fertunes made, I
as it were, from the trerylife-blood of the peo
ple.. We nave, had such, a class cif ,men foully
engaged in making money, all the time specu-;
lating-in th_e necessities of_a_nation strug s ling
for its existence._ Aniong_ thoxi most`promf- i
nent, have been the gold speculators. This:
class of, public enemies in the loyal States,,
has done as much to retard the operations of
the,Government to crush rebellion, its haVe the
Woods, of New York, *the the
Voorhees, the Woodwards or any'of those who
have ponsidered the right of rebellion as sa
cred. as the liheity of 's.Pe;ech, and . the'liberty
of speech to mean only a liCense to vitupef
rate and slander the men representing the
legally constituted authorities of the land. It
is not possible that the' inhin. which - these
two classes, the one directly 'giving's:id and
comfort to the armed foeh of the Government,
and the other indirectly doing 'all in their
power to embarrass that Government while it
is clenched in a death struggle With its ene
mies—it is not possible, we insist, that these
two clasies of meli will be permitted 'to es

When our armies come hbme--when our ft ,
roes, who survive the conflict, wash theliaw

words, he '..whipped LongstreeL"
Our allay etwild not .bei in ainoni cheerful
condition. Every man is sanguine of success,
and they count the days when they shall in
triumph enter the rebel capital.
General Lee latety issued an order in rela
tion to supplies, in which heSaid the commu
nication with Richmond was cut off. Gen.
Hill's corps had no rations- issued for, three
days. General Lee enjoined upon his men
The necessity, of capturing supplies from the
Yankees. Up to this moment-they have failed
to capture a single wagon.
The roads are in, excellent traveling condi
tion,.but very dusty. •
All the batlles thus far have been a series of
attacks and repulses. Musketry was almost
entirely used. The ground being swampy,
artillery was impracticable.
Lee very absurdly claimed a victory when he
withdrew from out front and marched towards
Richmond. • .
Our army moved with them along- parallel
roads, comb:iglu deadly contest with, them, at
Todd's tavein;near SPottsylvaniaCourtHouse.
General Torbett's division of cavalry whipped.
the rebel cavalry near this place, and drove
them from Spottsylvaida Court House, but,
reinforced with infantry, they drove our cav
alry a short distance, .when the Maryland
brigade, 4th Division, 6th Corps, came to
their support. The fighting was exceedingly
fierce. Gen. Tprbett and Gen. Robinson were
both woirid,ed, Mid" are now on their way to
Washington.

no slartnighbag at the tune, bat occasianally a
sharp shorter sent ahullet in that direction,
which caused the cannoniers to wince and
dodge.
General Sedgwick was near by with some,
of his staff, and twitted the men about their
nervousness. - .`.: . Pooh,en ! you can't hit an
