THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
FOR THE AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION
GRANTING THE
SOLDIERS' •RIGHT TO VOTE.
HAREISBIIIIG, .1"A
THURSDAY EVENING, NAY S6 l 1864
Cheering War Intelligence.
Our reports from the Army of the Potomac,
and the intelligence we have from Richmond,
indicate that Gen. Grant is succeeding beyond
the greatest anticipations of his countrymen,
and that the rebels begin to admit that there:
is such a result possible as the , complete con
quest of the South. Gen. Lee either lacks
the force to contend With Gen. Grant's, or he
has lost confidence in himself and his army.
The rebel chief seems to be most earnestly en
gaged in hunting positions from which safely
to contend with the *gaily advancing le
gions of the Army of the Potomac. Lee is
emphatically the brute at bay. He is being
hunted down, steadily, sternly and surely,
and now flies, aolmowledging in his flight,
his defeat, to seek safety and starvation in his
entrenchments about Richmond, or utter rout
and dispersion beyond the traitor's rest A
month from this and Lee is likely to be with
out any arm;. Every man he now loses,
makes :a gap in his ranks, to close up which
there is no material in reserve. Conscription
has depleted the South. Death, • starvation
and slaughter have: depopulated the slave
States; so that, with the extermination of the
rebel forces in field (a result which will
undoubtedly become an absolute necessity)
the South will.be composed of cripples, con
grpgations of widows and orphans, and gangs
of idle, unclaimed negroes. What a penalty
for treason! In connection with the retreat
of Lee, the intelligence that_ Davis and his
counsellors are seeking safety in flight„ needs
no confirmation. The conjunction 'corrobo
rates the truth of this statement. The nearer
Lee approaches Richmond, the farther - Off will
Davis and his associates in crime, desire to
be—simply because there is no safety for
the civil branch of the rebel Government
within sound or sight of Grant's aimies.
We can safely report that the re-establish
ment of the civil power of the National Govern
ment has not teen, sine rebels boasted of
invading the North, so certain and so near be
ing realized as it is at present. For the first
time in three years, the government may be re
garded as entirely safe--as secure beyond the pos
sibility of being impaired by the slace-dkving
conspirators. The Copperheads in the f!ee
State 4 can do that goverrithent a greater injury
than the armed traiters in the South. And
while the rebels are in condition to render
them incapable of further great harm to the
Government, the sooner will the Copperheads in
the loyal States be frustrated in their designs.
It will, of course, . requ're some bloody.
fighting utterly to destroy the rebel armies.
Amajority of those who lead and those who
compose those forces, will henceforth • fight
for what they regard as honorable names—for
glorious death. It is our truest. policy of
safety to let such as these have both ; because
with the entombing of, the rebel army, we
also sepulchre their sources of coinfoit and'
encouragement—Copperhead Democracy.—
And with the riddance of these fell influences,
peace, prosperity,'. union and liberty will once
more be insured to the American people. Let'
us rejoice, then; that the indications tend to
these results. But let us not abate our efforts
to recruit the armies, strengthen the govern
ment in its struggles, and in every possible
shape, contribute to the . extermination of
traitors in the North and the South!
4)IFE OF THE GREAT cALotuamolis of cop
perhead success in the coming political cam
paigns, was based on the hope that Lee would
defeat and destroy the Army of the Potomac
—that he would gobble up , Ben. Butler and
cage him in Richmond—that he would tram
ple Hancock into the sacred soil, and accom
plish other vast results in keeping with the
ideas of the copperhead:leaders. With their
banners adorned ley the victories of Lee, the
copperhead leaders anticipated a short and
victorious, campaign for the Presidency; and
in return for the aid which the rebels rendered
in assisting the Democracy to elect a presi
dent, the Confederacy - would be recognized.
But all these calculations have been spoiled.
The victorious advance of Gen. Grant has left
the copperheads without a platform. , Still
these prolific rascals are determined not to
be outdone. They are using the victories of
Grantto prove that the Government is conducted
tyrannically; and every time a traitor is arrested
in the North or struck down in the South, the
copperheads join in the cry that there must be a
united e f fort to resist the oppression of the "Lin
coln dynasty," or Ithe t‘ country will go to the
devil. " Thus these sneaking hypocrites cal
culate to make political capital, as . well from
the defeat as from the success of our
,armies.
Tics PROPOSITION that the Demociaby in
Congress from New 'Sr*, should retire froiri
that body, is a good one, and we hope'it will
be suggested for the consideration of ' the,
same partizans from all the States in the
same body. There is not a copperhead Dem
ocrat now in Congress who represents' the
clear wishes of the party to which hi) belongs,
as a majority of the masses who econ:p . ese the.
Democratic party are in favor of sustaining the .
Government and crushing rebellion by the, force
of arms, while only certain of the leaders syni_
pathize Withtraitors. But unfortunately for the par
ty and the country, these leaders conli'ol those
Representatives. FOR INSTANCE, A VERY . LARGE

certain that he will continue thus to disgrace
the district. Were he to resign, there might
be at least a chance for the honest Democracy
to elect a man and a patriot in his place.--
And what holds good in Miller's case, applies
to every copperhead Democrat in. Congress.
Hence, the retirement of all such foes of•the
country, would give,, satiSfaction to all the
friends thereof, as welliamong the Democracy,
as among the Republicans of the land. Won't
some ardent copperhead recommend Miller
to come.home and stay here?
A Matter Demanding Attention.
The North. American reminds its readers that
it does not seem to be as generally borne in
mind as it should be, that a draft for troops
will be Made tinder the national laws on the
ISt :of July, -to . ,Meet' ttte-prering

sent the following telegraphic dispatch to his
assistants throughout the' country.

We ask the attention of the public generally
to this dispatch, becauSe'its spititimplies that

teries got to work and shelled the enemy,
while Birney's division were ordered to charge
and carry the works, and, if possible, get pos
session of the bridge across the river.
-
The charge was made in splendid style, and
although met with a shower of bullets from
the rifle-pits and shells from the opposite side
of the river, our men never halted until the
enemy were driven across the bridge and our
gu ns placed so as to command it. Some of the
men even went half way across, and one was
seen with a rebel flag, who was compelled to
throw it into the river to prevent its recapture.
The highest praise was given to the dig ision
and its generals by General Hancock for the
gallant manner in which they stormed and
carried this strong yosition:
The eontsst continued until after dark,each
party mantaining its own line. Our loss in
this action was about 2501:ti11ed and wounded,
The loss of the enemy was fully as heavy as
ours, and we took a number of prisoners.
About 5 P. M. General Warren effected a
crossing, and, taking a pOsition on the south
bank, threw up some breastworks. Soon af
terwards he was attacked by a large force of
rebels, whom he drove back with heavy loss
—men dead and wounded lying thick on the
ground in front of, our lines after they re
treated. Our loss here was about 300 killed
and wounded.
About dark Gene,ral Burnside's corps came
up and took position between Hancock and
Warren, and macre preparations to cross,
while the Sixth corps took the right of the
Fifth. Everybody, felt in good spirts, and
confident of a victory on the coming day.
Kix 24.—The army advanced at an early
hour this morning, but the enemy was found
to have fallen back,during the night, and his
skirmish line wair,captured after firing the
first round. It was suspected that this might
be intended as a ruse, and great caution was
exercised.. As the troops advanced, skirmish
ing took place at several points, but the Se
cond corps had met no force of the enemy up
to 2P. M. at which time your corespondent
left the, front:
'Genitimf Wittren advanced some two or three
miles, the enemy in his front seeming deter
mined to dispute his advance, although grad
ually falling back. .
Mar 25, 8 e. messenger who left the
front at six o'clock this afternoon reports the
enepay crossing the South Anna, with. our
troops in close pursuit. Over 600 prisoners
have been brought, in since yesterday, and
more are hourly arriving.
Firing was heart this morning in the direc
tion of Port Royal, supposed to be from a
rebel battery, which is represented to have
been placed at a' point twelve miles heresy
Fredericksburg. `rwo gunboats went down
the river, last night, and it is thought tney
ma.Y have been attacked in the hope of sink
ing them.
An orderly of General Lee's army was
brought to headquarters to-day, on whom were
found despatches te General Ewell from Lee,
ordering him to fall back to the defences of
Richmond. A lieutenant taken only two
dairs ago said his brigade had been at Ply
mouth and Drtiry's Bluff, and afterfight
ing Butler, was sent at once to join Lee's
army in front of Grant. The Colonel made
them a speech on Saturday evening as soon
as they arrived, telling them that they must
reach Richmond on Monday morning by ten
o'clock, or the (1- 7 4,. Yankees would be there
before them.• ' •
This afternoon a detachment from the cav
alry expedition under Sheridan arrived at
headquarters, announcing the safe return of
the command across the Pamunkey last night,
and they would arrive to-night.
Greneral'Custer's division cut the railroad
twelve miles below Hanover Junction on the
21st, burning.two bridges and tearing up a
mile of railroad. He encountered a body of
rebel cavalry • behind barricades, but could
not induce them to come out and attack him.
The party had to, build a bridge across the
Pamunkey at White House, which they did
in twenty-four hours, over which the entire
command passed in safety. The horses of
the,expedition' are pretty well exhausted, but
a fevi days'-rest and feed on the fine clover to
be found in this felinity will put them in con
dition for service. 'Generals Sheridan, Gregg
and Custer are entitled to great praise for the
manner in which the expedition has been
conducted.

. • • DIED.
• .
At _Millersburg; Dauphin county, Pa., May 11th, 1864,
of Pulmonary Consumption, VIRY, daughter. of Francis
and Mary Wenrich, aged 20 years.
It may be deempil superfluous by those who knew the
deceased, to any anything in praise of her many charming
virtues. She was amiable in her-disposition, studious in
her habits and consistent in her life and a dutiful child.
At an early age she became the subject of religious im
pressions, and subsequently sought and obtained an inter
est in the atonement of her Savior, and connected herself
with the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which she con
tinued a consistent member up to the time of her death.
Her illness was protracted and despondingly painful,
yet her faith in Christ grow stronger as she-neared the
portals of eternity. Death was; to her, disarmed of his
wonted terrors, and the grave could "boast no victory."
Her last words were "I see Jesus," andwithout a murmur
or a struggle, "calm and serene she—did not die—but
sweetly fell asleep in 'Christ, her only hope and conso
lation.
On the 19th her remains were interred in the "Oak
Hill" Cemetery, followed by a large concourse of people,
whose sad countenances and tearful eyes betokened their
appreciation of deceased, and their 'sympathyfor the be
purred family. "Let mo die the death of the...righteous,
and let my last end be like unto hers." ". B.
