UNION STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE Rooms,
No. 1105 Chestnut street. —Our friends in
every county and district in Pennsylvania
should immediately, without one day's delay,
send to the State Committee a cocrect copy
of their whole ticket, giving plainly the name
of each candidate for every office. All this
must be done to enable the tickets to be pre
pared to send to the several regiments of the
State.
County committees should also prepare and
send with the Commissions their several
county tickets; or send a special agent with
the Commissioners to carry them.
Unite N. Arnold—To Speak in Harri s burg
There are few men in the country who have
more steadily supported the cause of the Gov
ernment, or more ably defended its interests
in Congress, than Hon. Isaac W. Arnold of
Illinois. He is now on the stamp doing good
service; and during the campaign will speak
at various points in the State of Pennsylva
nia. Arrangements have been made to se
cure the presence of Mr. A. in this city on
Monday evening, September 19th, when he
will address the people of Dauphin county on
the great issue involved in the contest to
crash rebellion on the battle field and main
tain the Government at the ballot-box. We
hope that our friends in the various town
ships in the county will at . once make ar
rangements to give the gallant Illinoisan a
glorious welcome.
Potter County 'Union Nominations
The Union men of Potter county have just
:e-nominated A. G. Olmsted for the Legisla
ture. Air. 0. has already represented his dis
trict for two years in the House, during which
he made a character as a legislator and won
a reputation as a man of integrity, of the very
highest order. John F. Jones, Treasurer; E.
0. Austin, Commissioner; J. C. Thompson,
A. B. Lyman, Commissioners, are the other
nominees of, the Union men of Potter county.
The ticket will of course be elected by a hand
some majority.
Letters from the Union State Central Com-
mmittee.
All letters for the Chairman of the Union
State Central Committee, instead of being
directed to Gen. Cameron, Harrisburg, should
be addressed to him at the room of the Com
mittee, 1108 Chestnut stre•l, Philadelphia. This
is important, and we recommend that our co
temporaries throughout the State give this
notice a place in their columns.
HEAR WHAT THE DOUGH-PAGE TRAITOR LONG
smrs.—"Weak as your platform is," exclaimed Mr. Long, at the Chicago Convention, "look
ing in some degree to peace, as it does, in
God's name don't place a man upon it who is
pledged to every act against which your plat
form declares." What does this mean? Ben
Wood insists that the platform and tiler can
didate mean peace; Mr. Long admits that the
platform means peace, bnt that the candidate
means war! There must be a doubt some
where. The people will solve the doubt by
electing Lincoln and Johnson, who stand upon
a platform that is not liable to a construction
like that of the Chicago abortion.
TEE Tzsrittota oa Urixorr GENES LS.—Re
member that, according to the testimony of
Union Generals who have' never been politi
cians and never belonged to the Republican
party, the only remaining hope of rebel suea
cess is in the defeat of Mr. Lincoln. This is
a fact which all true hearted Union men
should seriously consider, and be prompted
by it to a course of action calculated to re
store the Union and establish and, perpetuate
the Government
HEAT, WRIT THADDEUS STEVENS SlTS:—Elect
ArClellan and the Republic has ceased to ex
lat. On its ruins will spring up numerous
petty empires, whose future condition will be
one of perpetual wars and of grinding slavery.
Re-elect the calm statesman who now presides
over the nation, and he will lead you to en
honorable peace and to permanent liberty.
HON. JONI A. Pas in a speech at Port

A Weird of Catalan to the Comity Commit
te,-s in the Fifteenth Con greestonal. Dis
trict.
The similarity in the names of the oppos
ing candidates for congress in this District,
affords our opponetts a splendid opportunity
to practice their usual cheats, and no doubt
they already dalculate largely on this fact as a
means of defrauding many an honest, loyal
voter. It therefore becomes the county com
mittees having jurisdiction in the various elec
tion districts, to guard against these contem
plated frauds by every precaution which the
importance of the interests involved demand.
GEORGE F. MILLER is the loyal candidate,
the man pledged to the support of the Govern
ment. Wismar& H. lat.sa is the copper
head candidate,sworn in secret to play into the
hands of the traitors, and to afford them in
the next as he has already in the present Con
gress, all the aid and comfort which his votes
and his voice can convey. There is as much
difference between the given names of the
candidates as there is in their integrity, their
patriotism, their political pretension. But it
is important that the different ward and town
ship committees in the District, as well as the
poll committees on the day of the election, see
to it that the name of George F. Miller is not
confounded with that of William H. Miller.
We repeat, that this is a subject which de
mands the most serious attention of the dif
ferent County Committees in the Fifteenth
Congressional District.
Re-enfoveements Now Will Save Much
Bloodshed.
Gens. Grant and Sherman have both as
sured the country that the prompt re-enforce
ment of the armies in the field, will save the
sacrifice of many valuable lives and overawe
the remaining fag ends of the rebellion into
obedience. These gallant heroes have the
beat opportunity to know the condition of the
rebel forces. Joking from the assurances
which they have 13Ely recently given the coun
try, we are led to infer that the armed ele
ments of rebellion are almost exhausted, and
that it requires only the steady support of the
people of the North to put an end forever to
treason in the South. These assurances mus
not be unheeded. Now is the time to crush
treason on the battle field and at the ballot
box. Acting in concert with the recommen
dations of Grant and Sherman, the President
.has resolved to put the draft into immediate
operation, still, however, affording the people
every chance to fill up their quotas by volun
teering. It would be a glorious achievement
to go on the record of history, if the traitors
of the South and their friends in the free
States could all be defeated at the same time.
We have faith that this can be accomplished,
if the people unite for the effort. We are sat
isfied that the rebel armies can be destroyed,
and the permanency of the government for
ever established at the polls in October and
November,. ii the people unite and resolve to
do the work.
A Vigorous Campaign,
Let every Union man, no matter what an
tecedent party name gird
himself up for hard work from this time forth
until the campaign is ended and a victory
won. Let there be organization everywhere!
The enemy is fierce, unremitting and relent
less in its warfare. We must meet them, not
with their weapons, but with earnestness, de
termination, truth and invincibility. Above
'all things, let us have energy in the cam
paign. The enemy begins to pall before the
premonitions of his inevitable downfall.—
With a hero candidate who has never won a
decided victory, and a platform so rotten that
even Little Mac" himself dare not stand
upon its unsafe planks, the broken "tanks of
Democracy can be easily subdued. This done,
And their friends in rebellion will give tip, in
despair. Give us a vigorous campaign and.all
will be well.
The Growth of Republican'sm.
In all the State and local elections held thi'S
year, the - vote of the Republican or Union
party has been largely increased. In districts
where the copperheads were largely in the as
cendant, their vote has been reduced, while
in others where they triumphed a year ago, by
the absence of the soldiers, or by the tricks
common to the politicians, the elections this
year show large Union gains and glorious Re
publican victories. These indications, thus
early given, will have a mighty influence on
the Presidential election. The States to vote
in October, will follow in the track of those
which voted in August and - - eeptember, so
that when the November elegion for Presi
dent and Vice President arrives, the temper
-of the people will be right for a victory over
treason and traitor sympathizers, such as will
give us a glorious peace. Let the friends of
the Union at home remember that the work
of the ballot is as effective for success in 'op
position to traitors, as the bullet.
Gov. Curtin In Wow York
The New York 7ribune of to-day, says that
some of the friends of Gov. Curtin, of. Fenn
sylvania, availing themselves of his presence
in this city, gave him an impromptu welcome,
last night, at the Astor House. The enter
tainment, though strictly private, was at
tended by quite a large number persons who
were glad to avail themselves of an opportu
nity to do honor to one who has earned the
public, respect by his devoted labors int the
cause of his country. Brief speeches were
made by Gov. Curtin and Gen. Franklin.
Tux UpTioN MEN OF PHILADELPHIA have

The U ion Candidate for the Legislature
in the, Twenty-second Ward, Philail el-
We are only induced to notice the nomina
tion-of 'William P. Smith, as the Union can
didate"for re-election, from the Twenty-second
ward, Philadelphia, because we observe that
one or two neutral journals in the city are bit
terly assailing Mr. S. in their daily and weekly
issues. Why this is so, we are unable to ex
plain, and of aanzao do not - care; but In order
to serve the truth and maintain the justice of
a good record, we are constrained to declare
that no man on the floor of the House of Rep
resentatiVes, was more faithful to his con
stituents, more prompt and steady in their
service, more courteous and obliging to them
individually, than this same abused William
F. Smith. He was one of the hardest work
ing men in the committees of the last session.
He was scarcely ever absent from his seat,
during the business hours of the House, and
we feel warranted in writing, without in the
least detracting from the faithfulness of his col
leagues from the city, that Philadelphia is
indebted for a large portion of her princely
legislative favors, to the zeal of Mr. Smith, and
the manner' in which he looked after the local
interests of his constituents, If the people per
mit such a Representative to be struck down
to serve the prejudices of newspaper writers
and bitter personal foes, a faithful legislator
will hereafter have no guaranty of support
from those whom he best serves.
Democratic Prophesies
Mr. Harris, of Maryland, said of M'Clellan
in the Chicago Convention.
"HE .WILL BE BEATEN EVERYWHERE, AS HE
WAS AT. ANTIBTAM.."
The Freeman's Journal and Catholic Register,
of New York, in an article warning against the
nomination of ArClellan, says:
"12 YOU SEES DISASTER, NOMINATE IVIVLEL
LILN; THE OLD DEMOCRACY WON'T VOTE FOR
MI
That is prophetic, and from Democratic ora
cles.
Hear what Douglas said I The Chicago
Convention hypocritically affected someregar
for the lamented Douglas; but its presiding
officer gave the lie to the utterance of the man
slaughtered at Charleston, by Jeff. Davis and
his crew of-rebels. Douglas left this emphatic
declaration on record:. -
"The slave question is a mere ' exouso.
The ,eleotion of Lincoln is a mere pretext. The
present-secession movement is the result of
an enormous conspiracy, formed more than a
year since—formed by leaders in the Southern
Confederacy more than twelve months ago.
The conspiracy is now known, armies have
been raised, war is levied to accomplish it.
There are only two sides to the question.
Every man must be for the United States or
against it._ There can be no neutrals in this
war; only patriots er traitors."
RIMEMBER. when you hear M'Clellan peace
makers profess loyalty to the Union. that in
the campaign of 1860 no one of the three par
ties was more vociferous in its profession of
fidelity to thetnion than the party headed by
the man who is nQW a Major General in the
rebel army—John C. Breckinridge.
THE KNAvxsremss of the treason-sympathiz
ers who dappOrt M'Clellan •is exhibited in
the fact that-they-denounces Mr. Lincoln for
permitting "arbitrary arrests," and yet they
have nominated a man who wanted a whole

FORTRESS Ittotuto.e, Sept. 14.
A destructive fire has occurred in Manches

bacco warehouse was burned, with 1,370
hhds. of tobacco, belonging to John Gilmour
& Co., and 234 hhds. belonging to the rebel
government.
Gary's warehouse was also destroyed, with
other valuable property.
The fire was the greatest that ever occurred
in the Southern Confederacy, destroying
tobacco alone to the value of $4,100,000.
A disturbance took place yesterday, in Nor

guard doing duty on Maid street. Two sailors
and one of the guard were shot. One of the
sailors died, and the other lost his leg.

Sherman will reinforce Grant, take Richmond,
and finish the rebellion at once. They also
state that one-half of Sherman's army will go
out of service this month.

OF GEN. TORBERT FOB GALLANTRY
BALT/MORE, Sept. 15.—The American has
received the following :
HEADQuartrzas NEAR BEssarraLE, Sept. 14.
—A reconnoissance was made yesterday by
General Wilson to within two miles of Win
chester, on the Winchester and Berryville
pike, which resulted in the capture of the Bth
South Carolina Infantry, numbering one hun
dred and thirty-six men and sixteen officers,
with their battle flag Amongst the officers
captured was Colonel lianigan, formerly
commanding a brigade, but recently relieved
by General Conner, who was sent from Rich
mond for that purpose. The fld New Jersey
Cavalry, Lieutenant Colonel Suydam com
manding, are deserving of great credit for
making a very gallant charge, which was in a
measure instrumental in making the recon
noissance as successful as it was.
Whilst this reconnoisanco was going on, a
detachment, consisting of Getty's division of
the Gth Corps, and one brigade of cavalry be
longing to the Ist Division, was sent out from
Summit Point towards the Opequan. It was
intended that this detachment should make a
diversion in favor of Gen. Wilson. They
proceeded as far the Opequan, where they en
gaged the enemy's skirmishers. Two squad
rons of the 2d Massachusetts Cavalry made a
charge in which they captured ono officer and
ten men, belonging to the sth Alabama,
General Gordon's division. The result of
the day's operations has been a glorious suc
cess, and reflects great credit on the General
commanding. Our total loss will not exceed
16 wounded. General Torbert has been pro
moted to be a brevet Major General for gal
lantry in the field.
