ELECTION OF ANOTHER UNION CON-
=I
We have just received information that
Wm. H. Koontz, the Union candidate, has
certainly been elected to Congress from the
16th district. His majority with the soldiers'
vote reaches over one thonsand. Thus, another
bosom companion of our own distinguished
Congressman has been shelved. Coffroth, the
the man that has never voted a dollar for the
soldier, has been effectually repudiated.
lllE==l=l
THE Max Wan Corns for the re-election of
Abraham Lincoln, does a deed to secure a
home and maintain a country for himself and
his family. At no time in the history of the
world, have the people of any land had so di
rectly referred to them, the question of pre
serving their nationality. If Lincoln is re_
elected, the Union will of course be secured
against ultimate 'leg - ruction. His re-election
will be the logical and the practical triumph of
the principle of free Government. It will secure
peace to the land—it will contribute strength
to our cause abroad—it will throw around the
Government a prestige which it never pos
sessed—it will maintain our credit—it will
protect the business man against bankruptcy
—it will provide for the poor man a home
and a Government. These are the results
which must follow the re-election of Mr. Lin
coln. On the other hand, M'Clellan's election
means permanent dissolution. The inaugu
ration of George B. M'Clellan as President of
the United States, will be the perpetuation of
the Southern Confederacy. Then would fol
low anarchy, strife and bloodshed on every
door-sill. A powerful arm and a long blade
would alone establish the title to life and pro
perty. The weak would be subject to the
strong. No man's home—no man's wife—no
man's honor would be safe, or beyond, sacri
lege or sacrifice. Labor would become a beg
gar at the throne of wealth. The lands which
now bloom and bring forth fruit and rich
harvests beneath the touch of freemen, would
become blasted with the labor of slaves. We
would only have such a Government as would
benefit the feVt and stint the living of the
many. The Union of to-day would beCome
the chaos of to-morrow. Highways would
be obstructed with robbers—and al every
corner of a by-path the assassin woula lurk-
Our navigable rivers would swarm with pirates,
while the shores thereof would afford protec
tion for freebooters. Nothing less than all this
could follow the election of George B. M'Clel
lan, because the defeat of Abraham Lincoln
would leave the lard without a Government,
without the recognition of the laws enacted to
guard against such crimes. We are now strug
gling for our homes and our nationality. Let
every man, then, ponder well the decision
which he makes at the ballot-box.
TILE LIES ABOUT PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S PAY.--
Gen. Spinner, United States Treasurer, hav
ing been appealed to for an official statement
concerning the stories of Mr. Lincoln having
drawn his salary in gold and invested it in
foreing securities, replies in an official state
ment showing:
First, That the President has neglected for
long periods to indorse and collect the
monthly drafts Bert him for his salary; on one
occasion collecting - none for over eleven.
months.
Secord, That when his attention was called
to the loss of interest he was thus incurring,
he asked who gained by his loss, and on being
told the United States, added: "Then let it
remain, the Treasury needs it more than
I do."
Third, That the Treasurer was finally com
pelled to request the President to draw his
salary, in order to adjust the annual accounts.
Fourth, That the sum thus drawn was
placed in the U. S. five, per cent. temporary
loan, payaole, principal and interest, in green
backs.
Fifth, That since then such portions of his
salary as he did not need have been drawn
for him by his friends and invested in U. S.
gold-bearing stocks, purchased at. current
rates and deposited in the vault of the Trea
sury.
Sixth, That he has habitually neglected to
draw the interest on the stock, and that on
one occasion, when the amount of interest
payable in gold having accumulated to eight
handred dollars, the Treasurer sent it to him,
he returned it, saying, "I reckon the Trea
sury needs it more than I do."
Seventh, That his losses from not collecting
interest on his bonds have amounted to four
thousand dollars, which haVe been virtually
given to the Treasury.
GAZIANF,AOTION OF A. ParmaLulu& BEM
eleyr.—We have an.account from the Army in
the Southwest, to the effect that the 78th Re
giment Pennsylvania Infantry, OoL Sirwell,
after being mustered out, immediately volun
teered to pursue Wheeler, and counteract his

and did good service. They deserve all honor
for their gallant oonduct. • -t

Union men in the next Congress 77
Copperheads • 2
A gain of 12 Union men. •
The Homes of McClellan and
Pendleton.
The best possible test of the patriotism of
a candidate's principles, and of his political
fitness for office, is the vote which he gets in
his own home. The Vice Presidential end of
the ticket of Peace and Surrender lives in Cin
cinnati, and his home gave six thousand ma
jority against him!
Two years ago the two Congressional dis
tricts in Hamilton county voted as follows:
Pendleton, Dem,7,515
Groesbeck, Union 1,418
Penclleton's majority 1,127
•
Long, Dam 7,212
Gurley, Union 7,081
Long's majority
Total bemocratio majority.
The sense of the nefariommess of the Chi
cago Platform, and the treason of its candi
dates, is measured in Cincinnati by a change
of 7,258 votes in a single election! What a
rebuke!
The adopted home of Gen. M'Clellan, accord
ing to the Copperhead boastings before the
election was in the hearts of the soldiers of
the Army of the Potomac. There, too, he
has been repudiated by a vote of six to one.
Thus are both the Chicago candidates rebuked
—one at his home and the other where he was
alleged to be the strongest. Could anything
be more significant?
Indiana True to the Union.
In Indiana our Majority is over 23,000, and
we gain four Congressmen. / The present
House has 4 Unionists and 7 Democrats; the
next will be 8 Union and 3 Democrats. We
count Voorhees as elected, but he will be
thrown out on the ground of irregularities.=
In that case the figures would be 9 Union to 2
Democratic.
In the first three Statee the "Democratic
Victory" on Congress is as follows.
THIS CONGRESS. NEXT CONGRESS.

Showing a clear Union gain of 21 mem
bers, out of a total of 54. Let the Copper
heads rejoice!.
Maryland a Free State.
THE . SOLDIERSINTHE FIELD AGAINST SLIVERY
The returns of the recent election are all
in; the home vote foots up for the Constitution
11,246 against 12,820, showing a deficiency in
the home vote of 1.574. The soldiers' vote
thus far received is 2,463, making a majority
for the newConstitntion of 889 votes,which will
be increased, it is thought, not less than•soo.
Thus the Constitution is clearly adopted, and
Maryland, henceforth, ranks as a Free State.
The Prospects in California.
California first voted last year on a fair,
square issue between the "Union" and the
"Democratic" parties, and thus gave 64,447
"Union" to 44,715 "Democratic" votes for
Governor—Union majority, 19,732; the Union
vote being nearly three-fifths of the whole.
Every indication argues that the Union party
is at least as strong now as then, and will
choose Lincoln electors by over 20,000 ma•
jority.
Oregon True to Herself.
Oregon voted last June, (1864,) . electing
Henderson (Union) to Congress by 8,759 votes
to 5,996 for Kelly, (Democrat.) Whoever
guesses that she can be induced to reverse
this judgment, is manifestly no Yankee.

Our copperhead neighbor claims this. State
for "Little Mac." The Tribune has the fol
lowing on that subject :
"New York, at her last State election, gave
her candidates on her Union State ticket•ma
jorities ranging from 28,856 up to 29,685, in
a total of 602,546 votes. Then, her citizens
who were absent from the State in the mili
tary or naval service of their country, could
not vote ; now they can—a change which
must add not less than twenty thousand to
the Union majority. Does any' one believe
that our side hits Litit thirty thousand votes
in our mate since • last November? 'Who
knows of a dozen changes against us? Who
does not know of changes in our favor? Man
ifestly, the vote of New York is as sure for

his majority is likely to exceed rather than

The following dispatch has been received:
CHATTANOOGA, Oct. 17-3 P. m.—Hood's
main force was about Lafayette last night,
and Sherman at Ship's Gap.
The report of yesterday that Hood was ap

Another official dispatch, dated at Chatta

I left Gen. Sherman at Ships Gap, in Tay
lor's Ridge, at dark last night.
The General and army are all right and in
the best of spirits. Hood won't fight, though
offered battle repeatedly. His dreadful re
pulse at Alatoona has made him very cautious.
General. Slocum is all right, at Atlanta,
with plenty of provisions and forage:
Hood's raid has produced no military resvil
as yet.- it ne ta7ds to Itivaae Tenncor,co ns he
has promised his men, he will lose by deser
tion twice as many as he has captured:
The losses in men thus far have been in our
favor. Hood demanded, over his own signa
ture, the surrender of Resaca and Dalton, and
said, if surrendered the captured officers and
men would be paroled in a few days, but that
if the posts were carried by assault no prison
ers would be taken.

SURPRISE AND ROUT
OF 1410S301nr.
Advices from General Sherman-to the even
ing of October 16th indicate that Hood, after
having struck the railroad in the neighbor
hood of Dalton and Resaca, has fallen back
before Sherman without fighting, abandoning
his great movement upon our line of commu
nications. He has torn up some fifteen miles
of the road from Reason north, but the injury
will be repaired without difficulty.
The interruption will cause no inconveni,
ence to Sherman's army, as his stores of sup
plies south of the break, as well as north of it,
are ample. Hood has retreated towards the
south-west. His rear left Dalton in hasp at
6 o'clock on Sunday morning.
General Sheridan reports that the rebel
army, lately under Early, but now apparently
under Longstreet, having appeared in the
vicinity of Strasburg, his force moved to at
tack them on . Saturday.
Gen. Crook, who had the advance, found
the rebels drawn up in four lines of battle,
but, upon charging them with his accustomed
impetuosity, they broke, and withdrew in
considerable disorder, without giving the op
portunity for any serious conflict. Sheridan
reports them as continuing their retreat in
haste far up the valley.

rapid rise of any article into general and commeteird im.

foreign trade, amounting perhaps to $60,000,000 per an

cents per barrel, as it was a few years since, when there
was little home consumption, and no export trade, it
advanced to twenty dollars per barrel, with a foreign de

inexhaustible fountains of wealth that have so long bees
hidden deep in the earth.

midst of the most valuable and most productive oil resin.;

wha Valley in West Virginia. Two (2) wells are now
yielding large'y and four others are being rapidly sunk.
I am also prepared to Mier a certain number t f shares
in the "Rathline. Petroleum Oil Company of Pennsylvania,
for sale. Capital Stock $500,000, par value $lO. 1 can
assure my friends that these are reliable companies, and
