Notice to the Enrolling Officers
As the Court will meet in this city on Fri
day. ensuing, for the purpose of granting
naturalization papers to all applicants, it
would be well for Provost Marshal Clement
to detail an officer to enroll all those thus
naturalized, that they may bear the burdens
as well as the blessings of citizenship, and be
made thus subject to the present and all fu
ture drafts.
A Bold Game to Carry New York for
Treason.
At a late Copperhead meeting held in Mid
dletown, this county, an attache of the op
position organ in this city, by a slip of his
tongue, let out the knowledge of a bold game
about to be carried out by Gov. Seymour, of
New York, and his friends, to carry that State
at the approaching election. it appears that
the individual who "let the cat out of the
bag," mistook a sound 'Union man for a Cop
perhead, and in the course of a conversation
asserted that arrangements had been made by
which sufreient "proxy votes" would be sc
oured to make Seymour Governor of New
York for another tern'. When surprise was
expressed as to how I hic could be done, the
reply was vouchsafed that Gov. Seymour had
the appointment of the agents to take the
army vote—that these emissaries would take
care of his interests, and thus it would only
be necessary to collect the names of sufficient
New York volunteers, fill up the blank for
proxy voting with Nueh as these, transmit the
ballots to trusty friends prepared to carry
out the scheme, and thus by a fraud, car
. ry the Empire State against the cause
from which her commercial marine, her in
ternal trade and vast enterprises have derived
their most solid successes
There is something truly frightful in these
developments. There can be no mistake
about the affair. It shows the utter despera
tion of the Copperhead leaders. They first
opposed the extension of the elective fran
chise to the soldier. When good men suc
ceed in gaining this right for the courage and
valor of the land, the Copperhead leaders
thus attempt its pollution, and deliberately
go to work to corrupt the very means sought
to elevate the defenders of the nation. Out
upon such baseness. Of course our friends
in New York will be on their guard for all
these frauds.
A Copperhead Canard Relating to the
2108th beg's:neat P..y.
We are oftener amused than amazed at wit
nessing the efforts of the copperhead leaders,
first, to rob the soldier of his elective fran
chise, and after his friends have invested him
with the right, to attract his support for his ac
tual enemies. The following is a fair specimen
of the way the copperhead organs in this State
seek to use the soldier. We give Colonel
Mathews the benefit of his quotations and
his statements to Ajntant Gen. Russell, as the
very best mode of meeting and exposing
the falsehood with which he deals! The
reader will fully understand the whole mutter,
after perusing these extracts and Colonel
Mathews' letter as they follow below :
205. rs PA. Itzar.—The 205th is a new regi
ment of which Col. J. Ard Mathews, of Lew
istown, is Colonel, and Major Morrow, for
merly of this place, is Major. A few days
ago this regiment passed through Washington
to the front. When passing the White House
Mr. Lincoln came out and saluted them. At
this point some one in the regiment cried
aloud, "three cheers for Gen. McClellan,"
and our informant says three of the most
deafening cheers he ever heard from as many
throats were promptly given. Lincoln re
tired and the regiment went on. —Huntingdon
Monitor.
There are so many McClellan falsehoods
afloat nowadays, (the partizans of that nomi
nee evidently intending to cairy on the cam
paign by lying,) that we have doubts of the
truth of the above, because we know that a
number of both officers and men are not Mc-
Clellanites. Besides we cannot believe that
tlie officers and men of any regiment in the
service (unless rebels at heart) would so far
dishonor and disgrace themselves in a body
as to offer such an insult to the commander
in-chief and President when he came out to
greet and cheer them on their way. The
Huntingdon Monitor however gives it as a
truth, and although the authority is doubtful,
me commend , t to the attention of Governor An
drew G. Curtin as worthy of inquiry.
The above was enclosed in a note by Col.
Mathews, and addressed to Adjutant General
RusselL It is not out of place to state here
that Col. M. is a Democrat of the school who
believe in freedom and right:

their share of the work of impairing the credit of
begat man.
Who Began the War.
It is a bold charge with the Democratic
leaders during the progress of the political
campaign in which the people are now in
villried, to assert that the war is unjust, that
the sacrifice is too great, and that ptlioe must
be had on any terms. But who began the
war?. Can or will the Democratic leaders an
swer this question ? While they are hesitating
let us ask the people to ponder these facts:
Every State which sebeded from the Union, was
governed at the time by representatiVes of the
Democratic party in the Executive and Legisla
tive Departments thereof.
The first gun ever fired at the /lag of the United
States, by an insurgent enemy, was from men pro
fessedly Democratic, holding position in the Mil
itary Department of the Federal Union, and at
the time under the protection of a Democratic
Administration. •
2he slave holders' rebellion teas armed by a
Democratic Secretary of War.
The vessels to serve as piratical cruisers for
a Southern Confederacy were furnished by a Dem
ocratic Secretary of the - Navy.
A Democratic .President confessed, when armed
rebellion was precipitated, that he had no power
tßquell insurrection or coerce a seceding State.

—During all the period quoted above, the
Democratic party was rulbag, having a Presi
dent, a majority in the Senate, the Supreme
Court sympathizitg particularly with the
Democratic leaders, the Army and Navy
largely composed of Democrats, and yet with
all this power, armed rebellion showed itself
and defied the civil as well as the military
force of the Government. Are the people
willing to trust the Democratic leaders again
with the power of the Government ? We
think not—nay, we are certain that they will
not. Nor will it be hard for the people to
understand from the record just quoted, Wuo
BEGAN TN& RAE?
A Change of Opinion.
It is undoubtedly the fact that upon ma
ture reflection many persons whose first im
pulses led them to favor McClellan are now
turning from him to the support of the Union
candidates. One of the chief causes which
has induced this change has been the devel
opment which has been made of the position
and sentiments of the Vice Presidential can
date with whom he has been associated upon
the ticket. It is considered by all thoughtful
men that under no. 'circumstances will it be
safe to run the chances of Mr. Pendleton wield
ing the power of the nation. His antecedents
are well known by those who have watched
his Congressional career, and at least it Is no
difficult matter to ascertain where he stands.
Giving him whatever credit he may be en
titled to for the frankness with which he has
avowed his sentiments, he is not the less dan
gerous.for that avowal.
The glory of the United States would be ex
tinguished forever if George H. Pendleton
should obtain the Presidency of the nation.
He has stated in terms as broadly and as ex
plicitly set forth as possible that he is in favor
of letting the Southern States depart, and
with pathetic earnestness, declared his inten
tion of giving them the last adieus with so
much tenderness that their flinty hearts world
be touched by the remembrance. If he in
fact entertains such an idea of the suscepti
bility of Southern feelings, his means in the
past of obtaining a thorough knowledge of
the character of Messrs. Davis & Co. have
been missapplied. As the canvass advances
it will be found that the name of Mr. Pendleton
will inflict more. damage to the ticket than
anything which can be ascertained in regard
to the Presidential nominee. 'No disclosures
or discoveries will strike the minds of the
people with half the effect of the publication
of the record of George H. Pendleton. He is
not a negative man by any means, and the
strength of his convictions would render him
in fact not an associate of General McClellan,
but the controller of his political actions. The
people can easily foresee the result of such a
combination, and whatever predilections may
exist in favor of the firmer, they will be ex
tinguished by the fear of the supreme author
ity falling upon the latter. The acceptance of
the nomination of Mr. Pendleton was artfully
confined to the short, unmeaning and insig
nificant verbal acceptance at the Convention,
for fear of a disagreement between the candi
dates. The artifice was too shallow to deceive
even the most unwary.
THE CQ3 wrssronzas detailed to take the
vote of Pennsylvania regiments in Sherman's
army, did not get beyond Chattanooga. Be
yond that the communications were cut
off, and it was impossible to reach the
main body of our troops. Indeed, passes
could not be obtained beyond Chattanooga.
Hear the Word's of a Soldier
General Bosecrans, who probably under
stands the present condition of affairs, as
well as any man in the army, says
, 4 Whenever they (the rebels) have the
power, they drive before them into their
ranks the Southern people, as they would
also drive us. Trust them not. Were they
able, they would invade and destroy us with
out mercy. Absolutely assured of these
things, I am amazed that any one could
think of Peace on any terms. Ile 'who en
tertains the sentiment is fit only to be a slave;
he who utters it at this time is, moreover, a
traitor to his country, who deserves the scorn
and contempt of all honorable men."
Those who gabble about a compromise will
do well to peruse these lines with care and at
tention. They contain s the assertions of a
hero who has been at the front since the war
began, and has perilled everything in behalf
of his country.
A VOTE FOR ABRAHAM LINCOLN is a vote for
peace in its most glorious sense, because his
re-election will establish the power of the
government to resist any effort for its over
throw, thus rendering it useless for any com
bination to seek its destruction.

The Commercial's Nashville dispatch says
that Hood was at Ship's Gap, three miles east
of Lafayette, on the 16th, and that Sherman
was close on to him. A battle, it is thought,
cannot be very long delayed.
Nasavimz, Oct. 18.—Hood's army has de
stroyed the railroad for twenty-three miles,
between Tunnel Hill and Resaca, and also be
tween Big Shanty and Alatoona. The rebel
commander demanded the surrender of Resa
ca, threatening death to the garrison if the
demand was not acceded to. The command
ant, Colonel Weaver, of the Bth Ohio, refused
to surrender, and after some brisk skirmish
ing the rebel force withdrew. They advanced
upon Dalton, which was surrendered without
a shot being fired, by Colonel Johnson, of the
4th - United States colored troops, who could
have easily held the town, if so dispbsed.
Tunnel Hill was unmolested.
From this point Hood went southwest, and
on the road was confronted by four corps,
under Hanley, at .Snake Creek Gap. Severe
fighting ensued, and the result is not attain
able.
Beauregard is reported as Commander-in-
Chief of the Army of the Mississippi, Hood
being only commander of this department. •
Sherman is watching every, move of his an

There is some diversity of opinion regarding
the practical result of the new trade• regula

the New York price, and allow the sellers to
