GRANTING THE
SOLDIERS' RIGHT TO VOTE.
Election Tuesday, Aug. 211864.
THE SITUATION
We have but little. news in regard to the
state of tiffairs on the Upper Potomac, brit
enough is known to warrant the belief that
the rebels have fallen back, and our forces oc-
Cupp 'Martinsburg - ancl Harper Perry. The
late movement of the enemy in this direction
was doubtless a ruse to cover their retreat from
their late pillaging expedition in Maryland,
for the purpose of avoiding pursuit until
their plunder should reach a place of safety.
OEN. AVEEILL 'NOT KILLED
Notwithstanding the stories that have been
afloat in the Philadelphia and other papers
that Gen. Averill had been killed, we have the
pleasure of stating that that noble officer is
alive and well, and can be seen at any time at
his headquarters in Hagerstown. The public
will rejoice to learn that there was .no truth in
Or rumors of his death.
The True Way of Raising Troops
Ohio has set the other States a noble exam
ple as to the speediest and most complete
way .of raising troops. She does this by en
couraging the martial spirit and rivalry of her
people. The mode adopted hassbeen, imme
diately after a call has been made'on her au=
thorities, to apportion the troops to be raiscd
to each Congressional district and then take
the officers of retired organizations to com
mand the new levies, promoting captains to
field officers, taking first lieutenants for cap
tains, and so on, until the promotions reach
the private soldier, exciting his emulation to
valor, and impressing his judgment with the
'the proof that ho fights in a cause which is
worthy of his ablest service and full of com
pensations for all his sacrifices.
It is proposed now, in Pennsylvania, to re
vive the old spirit of emulation and enthusi
asm which characterized and rendered suc
cessful the first efforts of the State authorities
to raise troops. While regiments will not be
apportioned to Congressional districts, au
thority will be given to any locality to raise as
many troops as the military residents therein
Gan rearm Every practical military man
will at once admit that this is the only suc
cessful mode of promptly raising troops. It
would he of greater service to the Govern
ment to consolidate old organizations than to
attempt to fill them up by volunteering and
the draft. The draft is an expansive, harrass
lug and embarrassing mode of filling up the
ranks of the army. The enemies of the Gov
ernment—the miserable sneaks and cowards
who delight to use the liberty of the press and
the freedom of speech to impair the integrity
of the nation—are never so well satisfied as
When they have the operation Of a draft to exs.g
gerate, and therefore every soldier who comes
as a volunteer is an argument of mischief
struck from the month of a Northern traitor.
Hence, the more we excite the emulation and
military spirit to indite° men to volunteer, af
fording them the encouragement and the re
wards of position to do so, the more we
strengthen the Government in the affections
of the people.
We appeal to the military spirit of the Com
monwealth to rally to the support of the new
call just mede for entirely new organizations.
There are thousands of active young men in
the State, who are willing to enter such or
ganizations. Dauphin county in co-operation
with one or two of her neighboring counties,
could easily raise a regiment. There are a
number of soldiers, citizens of this county,
now retired from the service, who hive
heretofore commanded iegiinents. Will these
men now step forward, and at once commence
the organization of a regiment? The coun
try needs their services—the State appeals to
their cooperation, and it is for them now to
establish their patriotism by prompt and vig
orous actor.
Slavery Demwrats.
A book has been lately published in Chi
cago called' "Citizenship Sovereignty," by
Professor J. S. Wright and Professor J
Holmes Agnew, both "Democrats," end
which purports to have met the approval of
Charles O'Connor, Dr. S. F. B. Morse ar.d
other distinguished gentlemen of the same
school. It takes ground distinctly in favor
of aristocracy, and frankly assumes for its
party the name of "Federal Republicans."
These writers say on page 150 of their book:
"If we cannot have and perpetuate a high grade
of acisforracy, from which our raters shaft-be
almost uniformly elected, we can never sustain
free government. , Revolutions and anarchy
must be our fate, till we find relief in despot
ism, and then fortunate shall we be if, by es
tablishing an hereditary aristocracy, with all
its burdens, we shall reach.th free a condition
as Britons enjoy." Elsewhere they assure
the British nobility, that "they have in us,"
i. e. these, model democrats, "earnest coadju
tors." Asserting throughout the sovereignty
of the States, as against the sovereignty of
the people, they contend that the Union is
not a nation, but a federal republic, and they
make their appeal to the citizens who snip
port their -views under the name of the "Fed
eral Republicans:"
Why not lot them have it so.? Men have a
right to select their own designations; and
while they rejoice in the title of Federal Re
publicansi4et as who lined - the popular calm
—the superiority of man to institutions, ding
to the good old democratic) name, which, in
spite of recent defilements, has yet a charm
for the people.
Opposition to the draft—A copperhead
Canard.
We have 'noticed, for a week past, a para
graph going the rounds of the copperhead
press, to the effect that Adj. Gen. Russell
had openly asserted the impossibility of en
forcing a draft in this State. We can Scarcely
now recall the language attributed to Gen.
Russell, but such is the impression which the
copperheads seek to create by the language
used. In order to expose the falsity of this
report, we have been at some pains,to ascertain
what Gen. Russell really did titter in this con
nection ; and we axe assured bb himself and
several other reliable:gentlemen, who were
present daring the conversation when lan
guage was used out of :which this ataxy of
opposition to the draft has been manufactured,
that he never, either directly or by implica
tion, intended to convey the idea that the
Government would be resisted in any effort
to up its armies by a draft in Pennsylva
nia. It appears that Gem Rueiell merely
referred to a fact admitted by all who have
any facility of acquiring knowledge on
this subject, that there are localities in Penn
sylvania where the Government could not
enforce a draft, simply because such sections
contained no men capable of performing
military daty. In the nava regions there
are localities where the authorities and
the pe:ople could offer no bounties. The fight
ing men of such sections left their homes to
volunteer, crediting themselves to districts
paying large bounties. In fixing a quota, the
War Department does not take these facts
into consideration. Hence, there will be
many a district in this and other States large
ly indebted to the service on account of the
conscription, without any fighting men within
their limits, while other districts, having paid
bounties, will be exemption the draft, and
still have abundance of fighting material
among their population. These facts are
'to be attributed to the poverty of the one,
(or its want of liberality,) and the opu
lence of the other locality ; thus omitting
and paying bounties. These were the facts,
too, which Gen. Russell had in view when he
referred to the impossibility of enforcing a
draft in certain localities in this State. But
the remarks afforded too tempting a pretext
for mischief to be resisted by the copperhead
organs. Hence the fabrication that the Adju
tant General of Pennsylvania had asserted
that another draft could not be enforced.
Watch the Pone for the begratesi.
We are in favor of the greatest freedom of
the elective franchise, and hold ourselves
ready to oppose any measure or effort calcu
lated to embarrats a freeman while in the ex
ercise of this immense right. Yet the ingrate
who has the audacity openly to oppose tho
extension of the elective frOchise to the sol
dier, deserves to be watched and marliid.
There are men in every community who will
wage this opposition to the soldiers' exersciseof
this holy privilege, and such as these should have
placed to their credit all the distinction 'which
their dastardly and ungrateful conduct deserves.
They should be marked, that the soldieramay
know their friends when they come home
covered with glory. They should be marked,
that the world may point the finger of scorn
at them, as the men Who refused to recognize
the citizenship of those who were willing to
lay down their lives that the source of all
civil right, justice, law and order might be
maintained.pure; inviolate and perpetual.

ly all the discussions in New York and else
where, about sending recruiting agents into
the Rebel States, it seems to be taken for
granted that none but colored men are to be
recruited there. No such limitation is to be
found in the act itself, and nothing of the
kind is in the instructions issued by Col. Fry
under the act. On the . contrary, when the
proposition was first submitted to Congress,
the point upon which most stress was laid was
this: there area great Many white- men In
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, who by the
presence of our soldiers have been able to es
cape the,Rebel conscription, and who, if they
were enabled to avail themselves of our sys
tem of municipal and Government bounties,
would enlist in the Union armies. It would
afford them a much more substantial means
of providing for their families than any they
could find at home, and at the samts time sub
pot them to no more risks than they encoun

sons there may be we are not informed, but it
was certainly in the contemplation of the act

The Rumored Invasion
NO .AUTHENTIC INFORMATION.
AFFAIRS AT BALTIMORE.
The Rebels Cannot Reach-Penn
sylvania Without a Fight.
PHILADELPHIA, July 28.
A gentleman who arrived in this city this
morning from Baltimore, furnish us with the
following information:
With regard to the command of our forces
some parties who profess to be reliably in
formed, declared that Gen. Hunter and not
Gen. Wright is in chief command.
When our informant left Baltimore'tbe city
was calm and quiet but there was a good deal
of anxiety to learn the news. The authorities
had issued imperative orders to the press not
to publish anything whatever in regard to the
invasion, or the movements of either rebel or
federal troops. Doubtless the motive for this
restriction was a proper one, but whether the
object sought' to be attained by it Will be
secured, is questionable, in the absence of all
authentic information.
The wildest possible stories were being cir
culated, and the mere fact of suppressing in
telligence, seemed to be best calculated to in
crease apprehension, and promote a panic.
The effort of this uncertain state of affairs and"
ignorance as to the realities of the situation
which our informant regarded as by no means
serious or critical, was that nervous people were
beginning, to imagine all sorts of direful pos
sibilities, and it was currently reported that
various bank officers, and other public func
tionaries, were making arrangements for an
expeditious removal of valuables should it be
found that the enemy were making an effort
to advance toward Baltimore.
Our informant was, however, decidedly of
the opinion that Baltimore Was not even men
aced, but that if the enemy advanced at all
across the Potomac, it would be towards
Pennsylvania, and before they can do this,
they must fight and , defeat our Apses now
threatening their. right flank.

GENERAL KELLY OCCUPIES MARTINSBURG
SKIRMISHING ON THE POTOMAC`
Gen. Early Not Re-inforied
BALTIWYBE, July 28.—A dispatch to the
Ameriran from Frederick, this morning, says
all was quiet there. The news from the front
looks favorable. We still hold Harper's
Ferry and it is nokeven menaced.,
Adams' Express ctinipariy,rebeived an order

We have a report this morning, but it is
believed to be sensational, of. some uneasi
ness on the Erie of the Northern Central rail
road, and that apprehensions of a raid were
being entertained; also, that orders were is
sued to remove all the rolling stock.
WASIEENGTIM, July 23.—The latest authentic
intelligence is that Gen. Kelly now occupies
Martinsburg, that there has been no heavy
fighting within the past three or four days,
and that there is no information that thc
rebels have recrossed into Maryland. -
The Repulgicen in an extra says : A. despatch
from General Hunter to the Government, re
ceived this morning, says there has been con
siderable skirmishing across the river with
the enemy. The latter occupying Falling
Waters, on the Virginia side, and our forces
occupying Williamsport, °Rothe Maryland
side, and the contest being for the river ford
between the two places.
Up to this morning there is no evidence
that Gen. Early has been reinforced.
The affair at Winchester, in which Col.
Mulligan was wounded, was nothing more
than a skirmish, Gen. Crook was forced to
fallback from Winchester-by finding his liitle
command flanked upon the right and left.

On Monday night 35 guerrillas entered liar
veysville, and were shelled out on Tuesday
morning by one of our gunboats. They then
went to Oloverport, and robbed the stores.—
When last heard from they were moving on
Stephensport last night at 11 o'clock.
AS Gilson Mallory, State Senator, was ie
turning to his home, about five miles from
Louisville, in a buggy, accompanied by his
son, he was accosted three rrailes ' out `by.a•
man in soldier's garb, who demanded where
he was going. He replied 'tome."
The soldier responded, 'You had better go
back to the city at this time of night." Mr.
Mallory then started his.. horse, whereupon
the soldier fired on him from * carbine, kill
ing him almost instantly.
It is rnmored that the eame evening Dr.
Gilpin, formerly physician of the work-house,
who had been in the military , prison, WM sent
for a few miles out of town , by a guard of four
men under charge of a lieutenant.
He told the Lieutenant that he would not
be taken to the military prison again alive,
and shot the Lieutenant fetidly, whereupon
the guard killed the Doctor.
Early this morning six guerrillas captured
Capt. George W. Womack, Protost-Marshal
of Louisville, and his clerk, near the resi
dence of the former at Middletown, twelve
miles from here. The guerillas administered
to them some sort of an oath- in behalf of the

RESULTS OF GENERAL ROUSSEAU'S RAID;
nifty-one Miles of Railroad Destroyed.
islAsEvrus, Tenn., Wednesday, July 27
Gen. Rousseau has returned from his great
raid against the enemy's_ communications,
which expedition Gen. - Sherman in his official
circular to the army, calls one of the most
successful of the war. Capt. Williams, As
sistant• Adjutant General, furnishes the - fol
lowing summarynf events during the raid :
Gen. Rousseau left Decatur, Alabama, on
the 10th of this month,, and, with 2,700 men,
arrived at the Coosaw river on the 13th.
Here he captured a ferry boat and crossed
over part of his command, which had but - just
effected a lodgment, when it was attacked by
a force of 5,000 rebels of the 6th and 9th Ala
bama Cavalry, under Gen. Clanton.
An engagement ensued and raged for about
five hours, *hen the Bth Indiana Cavalry,
under Major Graham, having crossed the
river, attacked them in the rear and routed
them. • • ••
Capt. Abercrombie, Clanton's Chief of Staff,
and Capt Moore, of the rebel army, were
killed, and Lieut. Col. Lory and Major M'-
\nester, of the 6th Alabama, with 20 pri
vates, were captured. •
A camp of 700 conscripts was broken up at
Talledaga and the men dispersed, 100 being
captured. Two large storehouses, filled with
rebel supplies ind , a large quantity of niter,
together with the depot, were destroyed at
Tylocouga. The large iron-works were fired,
the furnaces and, smelting-pit destroyed.
Gen. Roisean crossed the Tallapoosa river
at Stones Ferry, where he met a body of the
enemy, with whom he skirmished,
Capt. Brown and taking three commissioned
officers prisoners.
The railroad was first struck at Looehapoka,
on the 17th instant, where the destruction of
the track began.
The rails were considerably torn up west of
Loochapoka, at Chewa station. Here the
rebels, under Clanton, were again encoun
tered; with 1,500 men, and a - fight of two
hours' duration ensued. The rebels were to
tally routed, leai.ing 40 killed and wounded
on the field. Col. Morrison's, sth Indiana
Cavalry, with their Spencer rifles, did admira
ble sertice. I,
Thetice the command moved eastwardly,
destroying all the culverts and bridges
to - Opelika, and literally removing
_the
railway at that station.
A train sent out by the Rebels to reconnoi
ter was captured. Two hundred pounds of
bacon, five thousand pounds of tobacco, a
large quantity of whisk.y,seven hundred sacks
of flour, and four hundred and fifty bales of
cotton were burned. The command then left
for Marietta, having skirmished with the Reb
el cavalry through the entire route.
Gen. Rousseau reached Marietta safely,
bringing in with him 500 horses and mules,
which have been turned over to the Quarter
master's Department.
Among the citizens encountered along the
route, there appears to be a great deal of op
position to Jeff. Davis, and. all appear to be
surprised at the kind treatment toward them
by the Yankees.' Not a private house was en
tered, neither did any marauding or pillaging
take place dining the expedition. - -
Nssavmxx, Wednesday, July 27, 1864.
Information received from an officer at the
front says, in two battles in front of Atlanta we
have destroyed the better portion of the en
emy's best two corps.
All the prisoners captured on the 22d and
23d, unite in saying that the rebel Gen Hood
was killed on the 22d.
Maj. General Rousseau and staff' arrived
last night from Marietta. His raid was the
most successful during the war His total
loss was live killed and thirteen wounded.
He captured and paroled 2,000 rebels, and
killed and wounded 200. . He also captured
800 horses and mules, and the same number
of contrabands. He destroyed 31 miles of
railroad, great quantities of stores, mitten,

The guerrillas have burned the railroad
property at Shelbina and Lakeman, on the
Hannibal and St. Joleph railroad. Yesterday
they destroyed all the block houses and water
tanks and the bridge at Salt river, robbed the
citizens promiscuously, and plundered the
stores of friend and foe alike. The band
numbered eighty.
Two hundred armed men went west from
Hannibal yesterday, and were at Salt River
bridge last night. The damage to the railroad
property and the value of the plunder secured
are not ascertained; but the loss is large, as
the merchants had large stocks on:hand.
The road is now clear of interruptiOn, ex

are transferred.
A large.stock of arms and ammunition is
being shipped into. North Missouri in trunks,
one or two of which, broken in transit at

to the railroad and the loyal people, and it
will be collected. The same rule will be
enforced on all the lines in that district.
