Andrew Johnson,
• OF TENNESSBE
FOR THE AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION
GIiti.NTINO THE
SOLDIERS' RIGHT TO VOTE.
Election Tuesday, Aug. 2, 1864.
The Teachers' State Convention.
We alluded several weeks since, to the fact,
that a Convention of the Teachers of the
State of Pennsylvania, had been called to
meet on the 2d day of August. In our refer
ence to this meeting, we deplored the fad that
the Convention should have been fixed on the
day set apart for holding an important elec
tion, in which issues were involved affecting
the highest and most patriotic exercise of the
elective franchise. We also indirectly ap
pealed to those who had the affair in charge
to postpone the time of holding the Conven
tion, believing that this could have been done
without embarrassment to those interested or
injury to the cause of education. As this ap
peal has been disregarded, we now earnestly
urge those teachers who have any regard for
the honor and the rights of the men periling
their lives in defence s of the Government to
stay at home and vote for the Consitvtional
amendments extending the exercise of the et , ctiie
franchise to th• soldier. There is no sacrifice
which the citizen is not justified in making
for the soldier. Every profession in civil life
is under obligation for its safety and pros
perity, to the efforts of the soldier. Hence,
the Teachers of the State will be fully justi
fied in absenting themselves from the proposed
Convention on the 2d of August, at least un
til the 3d day of that month. This will give
all an opportunity to record their apprecia
tion of and gratitude for the soldier:
The Qualifications of Substitutes
The uncertainty which the Provost Mar
shal General's office has thrown over the sub
ject of the eligibility of substitutes for service
in the army, is being gradually removed. - A
few days since we noticed an order declaring
that for peksons not liable to draft, who de
sire to present representative substitutes, any
one, whether liable to the draft or not, would
be accepted. A recent order defines the
qualifications for substitutes for drafted men
or those who are furnished in advance of the
draft. The latter must not be liable to mili
tary duty, and must make oath that they are
exempt from the draft by reason of alienage,
or having served two years in the United States
Army or Navy since April 15, 1861. In such
cases certificates of exemption will be granted
to the principal for three years, by the Pro
vost Marshal of the district in which he re
sides, on receipt of the oath and enlistment
paper of his substitute.
Fruit for the Army.
We are aware of the faot that our fruit crop
in the north is not very abundant, yet limited
as it may be, in some sections a portion of it
will be lost, which might otherwise be saved
for the use of the army. The great benefit
of this kind of food for the soldier can only
be known to those who have spent a sufficient
time in the camp to ascertain the craving of
the appetite for something beyond the allow
ance of the army ration. Fruits of all kinds
and vegetables of every description are most
acceptable. They are more than necessary
for hospital use, and all who are at all able to
prepare such for shipment to the army should
not negleot to do so. A soldier will look
more exultingly on a can of preserved fruit
than over his month's pay. Remember the
soldier while the fruit season shall last.
TIE 9 GIIIIIAETLES OF TIIF. ELECTIVR FIAN
CE= to the soldier, is a sore object for the
contemplation of the most rabid of the cop
perhead organs. Unable to treat the subj sot
fairly, unwilling to be recognized a$ its op
ponent, and too cowardly to vow themselves
the friends of the soldier, the controllers of
every copperhead organ in the State are se
oretly engaged in an effort to defeat the Con
stitutional amendment proposing to extend
the elective franchise to the soldier. These
miserable old corruptionists feign to enter
tain a fear that the prooeedings of an election
in a camp would be attended by great corrup
tion—that commanding officers could and
would control the vote of companies and reg
iments—and that the soldiers could not incle.
pendently exercise the elective franchise.
Such talk is all bosh. There would be no
more danger of fraud in a camp than there is
in a ward or precinct, unless our soldiers
should allow the election to be held by some
of the notorious ballot-box staffers peculiar
to the Democratic party, a contingency of
which there is not much danger, as there are
few such rascals in the army. The honor of
a lighting main is purer and stronger than that
of a mere politician. We would as freely
trust the safety of the Republic to the ballots
of the soldiers, as to their bullets. And the
politician who talks of fraud in connection
with the soldiers' vote, so far as the purity of
the ballot-box in the army is involved, is him
self a knave and trickster, ready at any mo
ment to lay perjury on his soul to advance
the objects of his party and serve the pur
poses of any foe to truth, justice and liberty.
Wave THZ FEZZMAN at home votes to ex
tend the elective franchise to the soldier, he
records his decision in favor of those who are
willingly periling their lives in defence of
the honor and integrity of the country.—
When a man is willing thus to stand forth
in defence of hie government, he entitles him
self to its highest honors and largest fran
chises. None but the brave deserve the re
cognition and honors of the government
!peculation in the Necessaries of Life
still on the Increase.
We alluded, some time since, to the fact
that the combination to control the coal mar
ket was fast becoming a power determined to
ignore everything like reason or fairness in
dealing, and that the people, groaning under
the oppression thus heavily laid on them,
would either be compellea to abandon the use
of coal, and submit to the inconvenience and
suffering which would then be entailed, or
they would be forced to protect themselves and
their families As THE PINCHING NECESSITIES OF
THE HOUR MIGHT DICTATE. We are in favor of
the largest latitute for the competitions of
trade. We delight in the prosperity of our
neighbors. We are ever ready to applaud the
man who courageously risks his substance in
legitimate business operations. But when
any set of men combine deliberately and vil
lainously to control an article of trade in
which their genius contributed nothing
towards its production, but which was the
free gift of God, and which the accidents of
business placed at the control of individuals—
we say when any set of men deliberately coin
bine to force still further the nebessitiet of the
people in this respect, we believe that there
is a law of nature and of self-preservation
which justifies communities to - protect them
selves as beat they can. The speculators
imagine they have the people . by the throat,
They are hunting down the poor man and his
family to the dark cavern of starvation, and
even while he seeks to take refuge there, there
are men in every community who would strip
the flesh from his bones, if the meat could be
sold to put money into their purses. This
spirit of speculation is like the hunt for the
tiger. It is all very fine sport while the hun
ter can keep on the trail of the flying beast,
but when the animal turns, to hunt• the
man, the sport, while it becomes more
exciting, is n(4 quite so pleasant. Thus with
the speculator, not only in coal, but in every
article necessary to the common comfort and
necessaries of living. It is very glorious and
grand and purso swelling for these combina
tions to force the last penny from the trem
bling hands of the poor—.to shout at gaunt
famine in defiance as he passes their Tar
nished and silver handled doors, to plunge into
the hovels of the poor. All this is very fine
for the speculator.
.He deems it right to grow
rich on the pinching wants of the poor. He
thinks it noble and soul inspiring thus to hunt
for wealth. But let such as these beware that
the tiger does not some day turn in his path,
to take up the hunt, to become the pursuer
instead of the pursued. We write candidly
and calmly, honestly believing what we assert,
that if the rage for speculation is not stopped,
and business men of all classes dealing in the
common necessaries of life, do not confine
themselves to and become contented with
fair profits, we shall see such a tumult in our
cities and !owns, such uprising among the
poor and suffering as will spread terror in
all the land, and sprinkle the gorgeous habita
tions of those who are greedy for wealth, with
streams of their own gore. The heat of the
tiger is up to his full blood. Huntsmen! be
ware he does not turn in your path AND BECOME
THE MINTER 1
Who Should Pay . the Damages of the
Raid!.
It is estimated that the late rebel raid into
Maryland cost the people of that State at
least two millions of dollars. The stealing of
horses, cattle, farm produce, with the destruc
tion of grain ready to be harvested, houses,
furniture, barns. fences, ac., compose the
items of this great aggregate. Many of those
who were thus robbed lost their all, and are
now actually beggared, their families left on
the verge of starvation. These people should
not be compelled thus to lose their all, but
while all will admit this, the question as to
who should indemnify them for their losses, is
very perplexing. It would not be fair to asl.
the Government to assume the payment of
such bills—nor is it fair to the sufferers that
they should receive no satisfaction. In view
of these facts and arguments, we hold, in
justice and equity, that the last dollar, the
last penny. should be forced from the seces
sion sympathizers of Maryland, to pay the
damages committed by the robbers whom
they invited and encouraged to visit that
State. There is no doubt whatever, that
the rebel sympathizers in Baltimore were
cognizant of the contemplation of the great
raid long before the rebel cavalry advance
watered their horses in the Potomac. There
is also no doubt that prominent secessionists
of Maryland were posted as to the extent of
the rebel force, and we are well con
vinced that those people had also in
formed the rebel leaders when and where
they could collect the richest booty.
These facts established, and the seces
sion sympathizers. clearly known, the Gov
ernment and the people of Maryland should
at once proceed to compel these villains to
indemnify every loyal man for the loss he suf
fered during the late rebel raid. A lesson of
this kind would prevent the same men from
encouraging the robbers of Lee's army again
to visit Maryland. If the traitors who live in
Maryland and act as the spies and informers
for the butchers at Richmond, were held to a
strict account they would soon be cured of
their villainy. At all events, those who sym
pathize with treason should be forced to share
the responsibility of its mischief. Then let
the traitors in Maryland pay for the damages
xommitted by their friends.
Tar. Corrznazen ORGANS hereabout and in
Pennsylvania generally, speak of another
rebel raid being again attempted, as if they
knew all about it—and then say that "Demo
crats" will have to pay for the ravages, because
there is no effort being made to organize the
militia. The copperheads themselves are
dig all they can to thwart the effort to or
ganize the militia as well as to fill up the army
by volunteering or conscription. But the
fact is that the cops are so blinded by preju
dice and stultified by hatred, they forget that
the very evils of which they Complain, are
those of their own creation. The errors of
the war are the result of attempting to concil
iate the sympathizers with treason in the
North—and the mistakes of the Administra
tion originated alone in that policy which
hesitated at striking vigorously at copper
head affiliation with treason while it was deal
ing death blows at open traitors themselves.

WASHINGTON, July 22
Official information from Gen. Sherman rep
resents that everything is going on in a manner
highly satisfactory. All the day before yes
terday our army was engaged with the enemy,
the enemy being driven steadily on into their
entrenchments. The city is in plain view of
our troops ana our shells can reach it.
Five miles of the railroad between Atlanta
and Decatur has been destroyed, rendering
the road useless to the rebels.
The National Republican has furnished the
following in advance of its publication:*
Official advices from General Sherman, re
cfkived this morning, cover the operations
down to last night. The work of investing
the city is fast going on. There was some
hard fighting yesterday, resulting in the re
pulse of the enemy in his efforts to dislodge
our troops.
Gen. Palmer advanced his line to a more
advantageous position. Our loss during the
day was small.
Gen. Sherman holds the railroad leading
from Atlanta towards Richmond, so that
Johnston cannot escape by that route to rein
force Lee. His only means of leaving At
lanta, is by two roads leading south to Macon,
and southwest to West Point and Mobile.
If Johnston escapes with his army by either
of these last named routes, he will be obliged
to move quickly.
It is considered a well settled proposition in
military circles, that the rebels can better af
ford to lose Atlanta than Johnston's army,if it
is not true that Lougstreet is already in com
mand of it.
The Latest.
Atlanta Reported Evacuated by the Rebels,
and in Our Possession.
I=l
NEW Yorr., July. 22.—An apparently well
authenticated rumor is current that Atlanta
was evacuated by the rebels yesterday, and is
now occupied by the forces under Gen. Sher
man. An official verification of the rumor is
momentarily expected.

ARRIVAL OF PRISONERS.
Capture of Retreating Raiders
DAILY SURRENDER OF INVADERS,
Mishaps to the Retreating Rebels
WASHINGTON, July 21.
Eighty-one rebel prisoners have been
brought hither from Sandy Hook, Md.—
They state that they were in charge of one of
the invading plundering trains, and were
overtaken near Snicker's Gap by a portion of
the pursuing force of Gen. Crook. A fight
immediately followed, but the train guard
finding it impossible to save the train, de
stroyed it by fire, and retreated, leaving the
teamsters and others at the mercy otour forces.
A letter received in Washington by an
officer, from Sandy Hook, Md., states that
many stragglers from the retreating, invading
forces, come into that place daily, and sur
render themselves. The men are worn down
by rapid marching, and numbers of them are
shoeless, with their clothing torn into shreds.
The Evening Star learns from a former citi
zen of Madison county, Va., who has for some
time been sojourning in Fairfax county, that he
has reliable information showing that the rebel
raiders meet with so many mishaps in getting
away with their plunder from Maryland, that
what they have managed to keep will hardly
repay them for their trouble.
ARMY OP T.RE POTOMAC.
AN ABTILLIBY DUEL.
Car Pona, Va., July2o 7 -8 A. Ist
There was constant and rapid artillery firing
all day yesterday on the front of the sth and
Ninth Corps, joined at length by the Second
and Eighteenth Corps. The enemy began
it. Why he should have desired the
myriad-shotted duel is inconceivable, for he
accomplished nothing, and may have suffered
something by it. He should have knowfi that
in artillery we are strongest here as well as oft
Cherbourg, though the demonstration of the
fact is not yet quite so palpable. During the
day there was no musketry beyond skirmish
ing, but from this point it was heard in more
volume at intervals throughout the night,
while the cannonading went down with the
sun.
The following order has been made:
HEADQUARTERS ARMY or THE IfitrrED
• STATES, CITI POINT, VA., July 19.
SPECIAL ORDERS No. 62.--[Etztract.]
All troops of the 19th Army Corps arriving at

campaign, the above would seem to be abun
dantly sufficient.

WASmGTON, July 21
THE ICIAGAEA. coNrEsExcr.
The Administration have never had before
them for consideration any proposition from
the rebel authorities relating to pacification,
nor is it known that any such has been re
ceived, and whatever may be the facts con
cerning the reported conference at Niagara,
the presumption here is that while there has
been no formal action on the part of this
Government looking to initiatory measures
for a negotiation of peace, it is not indisposed
to hear from Niagara or elsewhere whatever
prominent rebels, acting either as volunteers
or authorized commissioners, may have to say
regarding this important subject, without,
however, committing itself to the considera
tion of any proposition or views which may
be suggested. The Naiional Republican, com
menting on this topic, says : "Major Hay
may converse with people in Canada upon
his own responsibility, but he is not there in
any official capacity, nor has the „President
made, nor does he purpose to make, any pro
posals to or compromises with the rebel of
ficials at Richmond, or their real or assumed
agents in Canada or elsewhere.
COUNTERFEIT GREENBACKS
A short time ago a $5O-counterfeit note was
sent among other paper to the Treasury De
partment. It is only tolerably well executed,
but is calculated to deceive a mere casual ob
server. The Treasury has also specimens of
counterfeit fifty-cent notes, both engraved and
lithographed. A careful comparison with the
genuine will show their spuriousness.
THE STATE QUOTAS
The quotas under the recent call for 500,-
000 men have been sent to the respective
Governors. 9he quota of the District of Co
lumbia is nearly 3,000. There is now an ex
cess of 450 over all former calls.
THE POSTAL MONEY-ORDER SYSTEM.
Arrangements are being made to organize
the postal money-order system. Some weeks
will unavoidably elapse before it is put into
operation, owing to the particularity and care
required to perfect, the machinery to insure
complete success.
THE SEVEN-THIRTY TREASURY NOTES
It has not yet been decided whether the
seven-thirty treasury notes to be issued shall
be convertible into five or six per cent. Uni
ted States bonds. The latter description will
probably be determined by the Secretary of
the Treasury.

GEMS. HUNTER AND WRIGHT IN PURSUIT
It appears that General Hunter only asked
to be relieved of his command in order to
avoid a possible embarrassment to the Gov
ernment, and to facilitate Major General
Wright in his movements in pursuit of the
rebel army lately invading Maryland. Fur
ther explanations have shown that there was
no necessity for this action on the part of
General Hunter, who will, therefore, continue
in his present position, in which, already, so
much service has been done.
Brigadier General Crook has been appoint
ed a major general on General Hunter's very
earliest recommendation.
The pursuit of the enemy and the enemy's
trains is being carried on by the forces under
Gene. Wright and Hunter with great vigor
and every promise of large success. They are
moving southward on parrallel lines, and be
tween them it is believed that little of the
Maryland plunder will ever reach the Rich
mond railroads. There was but little in the
way of food or stock to be stolen in Mary
land, and what little there was the rebels were
in too great a hurry to collect systematically.
Many well-informed people think Early's men
will be hungry before ey reach Richmond.

The Rebels Routed by General
Averill.
MARTINSBURG, WEST VA.., July 21
On the morning of the 18th instant the
rebels were reported to be within two miles
of this place in heavy force, driving in our
pickets on the Winchester pike, killing one
and wounding two, evidently intending to re
occupy this place, and carry off what they
left. Gen. Wm. Averill soon organized his
command, and started out to learn their true
position. When at Buckeystown, six miles
from this place, he encountered the enemy's
pickets, and steadily driving them with his
cavalry until within four miles of Winchester,
near the farm of the widow Carter, when he
suddenly encountered Breckinridge's division,
together with Imboden's and a host of others,
outnumbering his little band two to one.
After a hard contest of several hours he
finally repulsed the enemy with heavy loss,
driving them into the forts formerly occupied
by General Milroy, and scattering them
through the town of Winchester in a demor
alized state. Night closed the contest, leav
ing in General Averill's possession four brass
24-pound cannon, 250 prisoners, and besides
these, leaving on the field about 300 killed
and wounded, including one General (Lilly it
is supposed) and two Colonels killed, besides
a great number Of line officers. Our loss will
foot up about 200 killed and wounded, whilst
that of the enemy must be, judging from what
they left on the field, about 400. General
Averill is up and at them again this morning,
and you will qoon'bear of him driving them
still further on.
FURTHER 'NEWS OF DISASTER TO THE RAIDERS
THEY ARE OBLIGED TO EVEN TWENTY-ME
WAGONS AT HUGHES' 011EFX.
The raiders it appears from the time of
their first capture of plunder were in tke
habit of sending it off guarded by detach
ments. Thus on Thursday, July 12, a party
having charge of 25 wagons, heavily laden,
went through Gregory's and passed down the
other side of the mountains, and along the
Shenandoah - river, leaving Front Royal on
their right (and at this point hugging the
mountains as closely as possible) until they
arrived at Thornton's Gap, through which
they passed, and thence they moved through
Sperryville, and halted for some purpose or
other at Hughes' creek, a river between Rap
pahannock and Madison counties.
We learn this morning from aformer citi
zen of Madison county, Va., who has for some
time been sojourning in Fairfax county, that
he has reliable information going to show
that the rebel raiders met with so many mis
haps in getting away with their plunder from
Maryland, that what they have managed to
keep will hardly repay them for their trouble.
This body was about 65 strong, and on
Thursday night they were alarmed by what
they supposed to be a fares of Union cavalry.
They were so badly scared that for some
cause or other, (probably acting under orders, ►
they fired the wagons and all were destroyed.
The force that so scared the rebels turned
out to be five Union scouts, who were in that
neighborhood,
Our informant further states that but little
of the rebel plunder, and but a small portion
of the force passed through Snicker's Gap, f
the rebels appeared to think that point would
be speedily occupied by the Union forces.
They therefore got on the other side of the
mountains through Ashby's Gap, and came
this side again through Chester and Thorn
ton's Gap, and thena pushed on as though
going to Grordonsrille.
