All these meetings will be addressed by able speakers 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.

'12914r. hun. rdir "tbst-SAti*MMlLlMistitt Ticket. 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' month. Until the rebel armies areke4enand broken up—until the aristocratic ;represents, tives of the institution of slaveryy, nolv de; fending , rebellion, are humiliated, "their in, Stitution divested of its trolitical and wherever slavery is known to contributel directly to thesupport of traitors in arms; the institution itself abolished 7 -until all this is accomplished; there cannot and-will not be peace in the United States, simplybecause the 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:, But against thia:the• coiiperliead leadere now oppose themselves, Save slavery,; preserVe the Prestige of its leaders and main.' taro the power of their former political positions, that the same men for the..ea:MC purposes may, at some future propitiounhoiir again arm and assail the national : atithority.

MPORTANT MOVEMENT OF- WARREN Heavy Firing About Chapin's Farm. Capture of Another Line of Rebel Works. Manassas Gap- Opened to Reptortown. WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. The mail, steamer Manhattan, from City Point, reports that there has been no heavy 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 entrenchments and mounting heavy guns, by which it is believed the rebels may be pre vented .frona using the road. 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. The 'transport steamer Belvidere has ar rived frogrFortress Monroe, which place she left yesterdq afterndOn at three o'clock. She reports that :yesterday morning heavy cannon ading was heard from the direction of CU pin's farro,, and the roport, was in circulation at Fortress Monroe that we had. driven the ene my:from another, line of .ihtrenehments Yesterday' four hospital boats;, arrived at, Fortress Monroe AVIA, Aieve,' with wounded, belonging-to gee - 4r* of the 'James. There was a large 'prop i ortion of colored solders among' these wounded. The Manassas Gap RailrOad has been re _paired as far as Rectortown. SECOND ;DLSPATeIt. WASHINGTON, Oct. - 6.—No . further move ments are reported - as haiing - taken place mithwest .'of Petersburg. Our troops are 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. From Missouri. Arrival of General Ewing. at St. Louis Account of his.

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. Civilians Prohibited from Going up the Jam River. FORT Morsoz, Oct- 6.
