Don't be Deterred from the Mein Objeett of;
Victory at the Polls.
,
By this time every truly loyal, man is well.
convinced, that the main . object, with the
friends of the Union in seeking a victory at
the polls, is to strengthen our armies in the
field. No set of men in the country under
stand this fact better than our cepperhead,
opponents. Hence the virulenca.and •vindic-i
tiveness with which the copperhead leaders
have been conducting the campaign. Hence
the attempt to make side issues, and thereon
base appeals to the loWer. passions of men
In seeking a victory at the polls; the copper
head leaders are not' so mach prompted by;
the dean for political power, as they are by,
the tope.,of breaking. up our system of free'
Government. Such men as C. L. Ward, thel
Chairman of the copperhead State Central
Committee, do not ask political power
from the people. What they seek is the de
struction of the Government, after which they:
will se* the power to rule on the principle
of the divine right of aristocrats, as the mas
ters of the. poor man and the owners of his'
labor. We want the poor man everywhere to
remember these facts, and not allow himself.
to be attracted from the real object of the;
election. Loyalty wants a victory at the' polls

Every truly intelligent and fervently loyal
man in Dauphin county recognizes the great
principle at stake in the coming political con
test at the polls. The issue will not stop with
triumphlt the polls. Long thereafter, in the
halls . of legislilion, in the departments of
trade and finance, and in every social relation,
the effect of a triumph or defeat will be most
seriously felt for evil or for good. Hence, the
importance of the people in every district in the
State discharging their full duty at the polls.
In a crisis like this, no man has a right to ne
glect to vote, and still claim to be a citizen.
He who wilfully omits the dirties fOrfeits the
rights of citizenahip. Hence, in Pauphin coun
ty, every loyal .num must vote if he hopes to
keep bright and powerful the eternal princi
ples of his loyalty. The fact that we have a
majority and can elect our county and
district ticket, diSei'not afford - any I man anon -' cuse to absent himself from the polls, because
we aim at higher results in this contest, than
the mere election of candidates for local offi
ces. We want the prestige of large majorities,
to establish our unqualified devotion to great na
tionalprinciples. Hence the principle at stake
in both elections, alike the one in October
and that in November, is the same. There
fore, if we poll.a large vote for our candidates
at the first, we can increase it at the second
election. This has always been proven to be
the case with all parties. Prestige is allied to
numbers. Give us the preponderance . of a
full vote for our county and district tickets;
and our word for it, the State, of Fennsylva
ride will roll up such a majority . for Lincoln
and Johnson in November, as will startle trait
ors from teeir dark strongholds, and over-awe
to obedience every mean treason sympathizer
in the loyal States.
Dauphin County owes it to herself% to poll
every loyal vote within the limits' of her dif
ferent election districts, on 'Tuesday . next.
The young and active men in the boroughs,
wards and, townships, must make it:their bus
iness to get out the old men of their districts
—to see that the sick and wounded discharged
soldiers get to the polls—to see that every
man in their - respective districts goes to the
election.
In a crisis like this every man has his duty
to perform—every man should feel it his duty.
to see that his neiohbors vote—to see Unit
justice is dealt out at the polls—to see that
illegal votes are refused—to see that the victory';
is for. the right !
We want a full vote for every man on - the!
county ticket. From Congress down to Au
•ditor, we want a full vote. Our foes in this
district only hope to_ reduce our„ majorities ;
it is our duty, then, to increase such'majori-i
ties. . .
. ,
We fight for : froedorn government and the!
Union, against treason, despotism and, anarchy !:
What the reople Want.
The people of all the States, alike those of
thenorth and the south, want peace,based on
the full recognition. of. the Federal authority.'
Any other peace would' not last a calendar'

directly to thesupport of traitors in arms;
the institution itself abolished 7 -until all this
is accomplished; there cannot and-will not be

slave-holder, for the interest of that institu,
tion; will forever hold himself in readiness
rebel—and those who sympathize with - May,
for the furtherance of their political ends,;
will always be prompt to render slavery aid
and comfort' Hence the people want thofall,;
unmistakable,- severe and stern crushing otii)
of treason and rebellion, that it may not again
become necessary for them to repeat the ter-,
rible,sacrifices of the war into which theyare
now. plunged, to suppress another rebellion:,

slavement of all labor, while the friends. of the
Union seek peace by the universal spread of
liberty. The one wants all the States devoted
to slavery; the other seeks a Union of common

solution of the peace projects as they are
presented for the approcal of, the peoPle . at
the polls. If the true succeed;; at

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.
The mail, steamer Manhattan, from City

fighting in front of Peterebtug since the last
worts. —Wgren_,lnis swung around on the
left somewhat, to a positioft commanding the
Southside railroad, where he is throwing up

The Manhattan brought up forty-four rebel
officers, captured by the 18th Chorps on the
north side of. the dames river;, they are under
charge of Captain Powell, 68th Pennsylvania
Regiment, and rank from lieutenant to lieu
tenant-colonel, including several majors.—
Lieutenant-colonel Maury, who commanded a
rebel fortification on Chapin's farm, is among
the party.
Captain Powell also had charge of thirty
two rebel deserters, who came into General
Butler's lines. They have, taken the oath and
desire to go North.

Steadily fortifying the positions gained, but the
enemy is probably too strongly intrenched on
the Sonthside railroad to warrant an assault
upon their works. As it is, however; we have
possession of the Vaughn road, over which
the rebels a' large portion of their
supplies, and our forces hold an impregnable
position Within two, miles of the Southside
railroad. This is an advantage worth far more
than the cost of the attack.

SATISFACTORY REPORTS OF THE OP
ERATIONS IN PROGRESS BEFORE RICH
MOND AND PETERSBURG HAVE BEEN
RECEIVED, but their details are not at pre
sent proper for publication.
A dispatch from Gen. Stevenson reports an
officer of Gen. Sheridan's staff just arrived.
Gen. Sheridan was still at Harrisombnrg.—
His supply trains were going on all right, oc
casionally interrupted by guerrilla parties, the
only force on the road. This officer brought
in the remains of Lt. John R. Meigs, of the
Engineer Cos, and only son of brevet Maj.
Gen. Meigs, Quartermaster General, who was
killed by bushwhackers on Monday last, while
making a military survey.
In the death of that gallant officer the de
partment has occasion to deplore no ordinary
loss. Last year he graduated at the military
academy at West Point with the highest hon
ors at the head of his class, was commissioned
as a Lieut. of engineers, and was immediately
sent into the field. He performed meritorious
and dangerous services drain. , the last
year on the fortifications at Baltimore, at
Harper's Ferry and at Cumberland, and
was made chief engineer in the army of the
Shenandoah. In the campaigns he accompa
nied the army under Sigel, Hunter and Sheri
dan in every position., •
He gave proof of great professional skill, per
sonal courage and develotied patriotism.
One of the youngest and brightest ornaments
of the military profession, he has fallen an
early victim to murderous rebel warfare.
General Rosecrans reports that Gen. Ewing
made good his retreat to Rolla, losing only a
few stragglers, and the killed and wounded
by the way were very few.
From the number of the wounded rebels,
the enemy's loss will not fall much short of a
thousand hors du combat. •
OUT Official Relations with Mexico
Operations on the N. A. Blockading Squadron
FROM GENERAL GRANT'S ARMY
Our Position Impregnable
Mosby Recovering .. from Ms Recent Injuries
This Government continues its official re
lations with the Liberl or Constitutional
Government of Mexico, and the President has
recently recognized Jose Solero Prieto an
Consul of that republic at the post of San
Francisco.
It. appears, from an official statement received
at the Navy Department to-day, that the North
Atlantic blockading Squadron has from August
Ist, 1863, to October Ist of the present year,
captured or destroyed fifty vessels. Most of
these were first class blockade runners.
The intelligence received from the Army of
the Potomac to-day is that unusual quiet pre •
veiled during Wednesday night and yesterday
morning up to 10 o'clock, when the mail
boal left City Point. Our forces on the south
side are within sound and sight of the rail
road, and in a strong position, capable, it is
said, of resisting any rebel assault.
.• It appears that the enemy are not using that
railroad to any considerable extent.
Positive information has been received, by
t4qAkaandria (Ira.) Journal that Mosby has
so far recovered from his recent wound as to
be able to again take, the saddle.
It says, certain it is that he is once more in
command, and it may not be many days be
fore there will be a renewal of the guerrilla
depredations in the adjoining counties.
Later from Missouri.
Price Attempts to Cross the Osage River
HIS FORCES REPULSED
Rebels Rot Atross the Missouri River
Official advices siy that Price's main rebel
army - attempted to cross the Osage River at
Castle Rock, to-day, but were prevented by
a force of our troops stationed on the opposite
side, between whom and the rebels fighting
has ocourred—but with what result was not
known.
The recent rains have swollen the Osage,
and Price will probably try and cross at some
point higher up.
The reports that several hundred rebels had
crossed the Missouri river into Montgomery
county, are unfounded.
General Mower arrived in good time at
Curent Point. His movements will soon be
announced co the enemy by himself.
