Phil. Sheridan in the Saddle for Mr. Lin.
LEM
• Mr. Lincoln has many able friends and sup
`',porters, who are now doing the Union good
service "on the stump," advocating his re
election. However able the speeches that are
thus made, it is admitted on all sides that
gallant Phil. Sheridan and his brave followers,
while in the saddle, are contributing more
effectively to the success of the Union party
-in November, than all the orators, all
the State Central, and all the Executive
Committees, combined, in the whole country.
Every flash of Sheridan's trusty blade is an
ergument in favor of Mr. Lincoln's re-election-
Every blow delivered by Sheridan's men an
the heads of armed traitors, is equal to a vote
against "Little Mac." Every victory that these
gallantleroes wins, is death to northern trai
tors, and leaves the dough-face leaders of cop
perhead democracy, as dispirited as are- the
bloody villains of the South. Huzza, then, for
Sheridan and his boys I They are working up
the 'Presidential campaign in a blaze of glory!
They had a meeting yesterday in the Shenan
doith,Valley, where Sheridan spat) until the
tears flowed in bloody torrents from the af
frighted eyes of beaten traitors.
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 In
flare drafts.
Since the above was written and in typo,
we have ascertained that the proper officers
will be in attendance at court to-morrow, and
as the naturalization papers are issued to our
• adopted tllow citizens, each of them will be
enrolled; and afforded a glorious opportunity
of making good their oath of allegiance by
deeds of daring and gallant service in a war
to•crush a crusade against freedom !

f.; ru:+rmitted to urge nvon...our
instant attention - to the work of organization.
If they expect to do their share in piling rip a
big majority in November they must go at it
at once. The full vote can be got out only by
organizing thoroughly. A canvass of every
township is needed, and complete arrange
' manta made to bring out every vote. This is
duty. Our friends Owe it to the sacred cause
they have espoused to attend to it without
delay and without 'fail.
The XXlst Congressional District.
A. correspondent writing from Westmore
land comity, communicates the gratifying in
formation, that sufficient returns of soldiers'
votes have been received to elect Hon. Smith
Fuller by fifty-three majority. We sincerely
trust• that this is correct, as the defeat of
John L. Dawson would save the Common
wealth from incalculable disgrace.
GEN. Summar' ex OHIOAN.—We see that
NOM of the Eastern journals are claiming
Gen. Sheridan as a native of Massachusetts.
We are reliably informed that he was born.in
Perry county, Ohio, in 1831, and graduated
at West Point in 1853. We claim for Ohio
what is her just due: Grant, Sherman and
Sheridan--Ohio born and Ohio bred. —Oincin
nati Times.
A friend at our elbow asserts that he knows
certainly that •Gen. Sheridan was born in Alle
gheny city, and that his parents moved 'to
Ohio when Phil was "a baby." If this is cor
rect, we claim the hero as a Pennsylvanian.
But what matters it where such men as Phil
Sheridan are born? Their fame and the pride
of their patriotism and gallantry, belong to
all true men in all dim es and all nations.
ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS sees "a ray of
light" in the Chicago platform, and does not
hesitate to declare before the world that the tri
umph of that platlorm will result in the vin
dication of the rights of the confederate
states, namely, the firm and lasting establish
ment of the confederate government. This
affords every.man, who desires the success of
the slave-holders' rebellion, the chance of
contributing to the rebel cause, by voting for
M'Clellan. Just at this time, a vote for
M'Clellan is of far more cmportance than a
recruit for Lee or Hood.

What the Presidenttril Election Means.
There is a meaning in the spirit and posi
tion assumed by the Democratic ,leaders in
the contest . for the Presidencynow. waging,
which is of far more importance than the
great leas of men can at first discern. For
four years, the Democratic leaders of the free
and loyal States have been playing a far more
desperate game than the leaders of the pouth
em traitors. In reality, the Northern lead
ers of the Democratic party have been
the chief engineers of treason. Rebellion
would have never _been precipitated had
not the South been assured by the dema
gogues of the North, that our people were in-'
eapable of defending themselves in fierce bat
tles. • Southern depreciation. of Northern
valor, independence and Courage was derived
from your cringing and conciliating dough
faces in Congress. Hence, when the South
ern nabobs armed themselves and forced the
"poor white trash" of their localities into the
brigandage which they organized for the sub
version of the Government, it was with the
full and explicit understanding that the North
would complete the work which the
South began.. All the facts in the case,
the history of every side transaction
bearing the least on rebellion—the conduct of
Northern men in the last Congress during
Buchanan's Administration—the attitude of
that Administration—all, ALL conclusively
prove, that ,the haste with which the slave
holders' rebellion was precipitated, and the
causes for which it was organiked, had their
origin with the leaders of the Democratic
party, North as well as South.. As a party,
the Democracy of the North entered hastily
into the scheme of Southern rebellion. As a
party, the Democracy are as much responsible for
the scidenahood, the orphanage, the misery, -the
waste and the destruction of life and property, as
Me slaveholder in rebellion. Hence the lead
ers of the Democratic party, feeling that the
armed efforts of the slaveholders have proven
futile—have utterly failed of their object in
completely breaking down a free - Government,
are now engaged in a desperate political
movement to retrieve the disasters of trea
son, and if possible sieve success for the
South. This is what the Presidential contest
means. So far as the Democratic leaders
are concerned, the Presidential contest
means dissolution as emphatically and thor
oughly as do the present armed efforts of the
traitors. The Democratic leaders all recog
nize the justice Of rebellion. The Demo
cratic candidate for the. Vice Presidency is a
confessed secessionist.. Ho defended the ac
tion of South Carolina, when that State left
the Union, He applauded the other States,
one by one, as they severed with fratricidal
hands the snored bonds of Union; and Mr.
Pendleton bid each seceding State farewell in
the tenderest terms—so . tender,, indeed, .ais to
convince the traitors that George H.
,Pendle
ton would never contribute to the success of
any measare of force to bring the rebellious
-Lau -Inonmer Olt irne-pro6rwo-uetruchrnehmiX
theory. Every leader of the Democratic
party is opposed tolhe war, so far as the ef
forts of the Government are conceried-tio crush
rebellion—WHlLE THESE BEM ABB ALL TN FAVOR
OF THE REBELLION, BECAUSE IT IS A STRUGGLE
TO SATE SLAVERY. This brings us to our point.
The war was begun for slavery = it is.waged
for slavery—and as long as slavery exists the
war will be continued by the slave States.
No sane man will doubt or reject the justice
of this conclusion. Elect George B. M'Clel
lan, and this war of slavery will, of course,
immediately, close; -because the slaveholders
will then have accomplished all they first
aimed at. We will have absolute and perma
nent dissolution, because M'Clellan is in favor
of the rights of slavery, and the slaveholder
asserts that he has the right to secede from, TO
DESTROY THE UNION ! What will follow per
manent dissolution, we leave the voter him
self to. calculate.
Remember
People who have votes to cast will do well,
before casting them, to remember that the
high price of gold is the work of copperhead
bankers who have got the control of the gold
market and hold it.
Remember that by that control all the prices
of dry goods, hardware, groceries, provisions,
etc., have been swelled enormously.
Remember that by_ the same : control the ex
penses of the Government for carrying on the
war have been augmented to more than twice
their proper aggregate.'
Remember that by the same contra the vol
ume; of our debt has been necessarily in
creased to meet -those expenses, so that we
have now a debt of near two millions where
otherwise we should not have had more than
CM
Remember that tie man who has led in
these operations is the Chairman of the Dem
ocratic National Committee.
Remember that the same control has re
duced the apparent value of our national pa
per currency, and thereby forced workmen to
strike for higher wages. ,
Remember that, in consequence of this de
preciation of the national currency by cop
perhead operators, the interest in gold on our
national debt has been augmented.
Remember that, to meet all these embar
rassments, taxes have been necessarily levied
on everything of value.
Remember that the effect of these embar
rassments is to check commerce, arrest build
ing improvements, redmie the actual Paine of
fixed incomes, depreciate the national credit
both at home and abroad, and encourage the
rebellion.
Remember that the candidate 'in whose in
terest all this has been done, is geerge B.
ArClellan.
Remember that so soon as the Noiember
election shall *tended, and President Lincoln
re-elected. this conspiracy will
. be exploded,
and
,prices must crone down like a collapsed

SPEECH, TO UTTER ONE *ON, AGAINST
THE SOUTHERN REBELLION! .
The Re-election of Abraham
Lincoht..
[From ilie.Boston Transcript, October 13.]
. We consider this event assured by the result
of the October elections. These prove coneln:
sively that the Northern sympathizers with the
rebellion cannot successfully defend either,•
their Eastern or Western lines. In the ERA
the opponents of the Administration have re
ceived such a shock in Pennsylvania as Gen
eral Grant, with the Potomac army, has 'ad
ministered to the rebels in and around Rich
mond. The parallel to the victory of Atlanta
is the unprecedented Administration success
in Indiana, which bears as decisively upon
the issue Of the' Presidential contest as the
conquest of Atlanta does upon the destinies of
the rebellion.
The people of Indiana have unmistakably
indicated by their votes the direction of the
popular current in the West. That noble sec
tion- of the Union will support Abraham Lin
coln with an unanimity in the electoral college
such as only one other candidate, in recent
years, has received. The extreme East is sure
to respond to the West, so that vithout the
Middle States, nearly all of which the Repub
licans will carry, Mr. Lincoln would be re-elect
ed. He is certain, beyond controversy, of the
following named States.
Maine 7
New Hampshire
Vermont
Massachusetts
Rhode Island.
Connecticut..
Ohio
Indiana
Maryland
lowa
Michigan.
Minnesota
Wisconsin
California.
Oregvn
Kansas
West Virginia
The electors of the loyal States number
230, of which 116 is a majority. Mr. Lincoln
will obtain in the above named States eight
more votes than are , necessary for a choice,
thus electing him, without New York, Penn
sylvania, Illinois, or Missouri, which cast
electoral votes as follows:
New York 93
Pennsylvania 26
Illinois • 15
Missouri 11
Mr. Lincoln's chances are much superior to
those of General McClellan, in each of . the
last mentioned States. Add their vote to that
of the States which Will go for Mr. Lincoln
without a question, and his support in the
next electoral college will reach the gratify
ing amount of 209, leaving for General Mc-
Clellan the States entitled to the subjoined
number of electors:
New Jersey
Kentucky .. . ..
Delaware
It is fair to state, in behalf of the Unionists
of New jersey. and Kentucky, that they are
far from conceding their States to General M'-
Clellan, and are very sanguine of a triamph
in each of them. They are working untiring
ly to bring about this end, and it would not be
surprising if their endeavors were crowned
with success. If "Little Mac" could be re
duced to little Delaware, it would be a con-
To effect this, let the bkane kind of work be
performed everywhere as produced such glo
rious fruits in Indiana on Tuesday last. The
indecisive vote in Pennsylvania will furnish
the needed stimulant in the closely-balanced
States, while the sweeping majorities in Ohio
and Indiana will exert a great moral influence
in the Northwest. In all quarters the political
sky is bright with auguries of triumph for the
riational cause.

SPEECH OF THEJTESIDENT. . ,
- The President was serenaded at the White
House to-night, and, on appearing at an up
per window, spoke as follows, being frequent
ly interrupted with applause :
"I am notified that this is a. compliment
paid me by the loyal Marylanders resident in
this District. I infer that the adoption of the
new Constitution for the State lurnishes the
occasion, and that, in your view, the extitpa
tion of slavery constitutes the chief merit• of
the new Constitution.
"Most heartily do I congratulate you and
Maryland, and the nation, and the world
upon the event. ' I regret that it did not occur
two years sooner, which, I am stiie, would
have saved to the nation more money than
would have met all the private loss incident
to the measure. But it has come at last, and
I sincerely hope its friends may fully realize
all their anticipations of good from it, and
that its opponents may, by its effects, be
agreeably and profitably disappointed.
"A word upon another subject.
.Something
said by the Secretary of State, in his recent
speech at Auburn, has been construed by some
into a threat that, if I shall be beaten at the
election, I will, between then and the end of
my constitutional term; do what I may be able
to ruin the Government. Others regard the
fact that the Chicago Convention adjourned
not sine die, but to meet again, if called to do
so by a particular individual, as the intimation
of a purpose that if their nominee shall be
elected he will at once seize the control of the
Government. I hope the good people will
perinit themselves to suffer no uneasiness on
this point.
"I am struggling to maintain the Govern
ment, not to overthrow it. I am struggling
especially to prevent others from overthrow
ing it. I therefore say that, if I shall live, I
shall remain President until the fourth of next
March, and that whoever shall be sonstitu
tionally elected therefor, in Novemhi3r, shall
be duly inittalled as President on the fourth
of March, and that, in the interval, I shall do
my utmost that whoever is to hold the 'helm
for the next voyage shall start with the best
possible chance to save the ship. t ,
"ThiS is due to the, people both on

A. few minutes later the following official
report of hie victory w; Ls received from Major
General Sheridan:
CEDAR OMEN, OCt. 19, 10 P. X.—Lieut. Gen.
Grant,'City Point :—I hais - the honor to re
part that my army, at Cedar Creek, was at
tacked,this morning before daylight, and my
left was turned and driven in confusion, with
the loss of several pieces of artillery.
I hastened from Winchester, where I was on
my return from Washington, found the armies
between Middletown and Newtoltn, having
been driien back about 4 miles.
I here took the affair in hand and quickly
united the corps, formed a compact line of
battle just in time to repulse an attack of the
enemy, which was handsomely done at about
Ir.N.
At 2 r. ' after some changes from the left
to the right flank, I attacked with great vigor,
driving and routing the enemy, capturing, ac
cording to the last report, 43 pieces of artil
lery and many prisoners. Ido not yet know
the number of my casualties, or loss of the
enemy's wagon trains. Ambulances and cais
sons, in large numbers,are in our possession.
They also burned some of their trains.
Gen. Ramseur is a prisoner in our hands,
severely and perhaps mortally wounded. I
have to regret the loss of Gen. Bidwell killed,
and Gens. Wright, Grover ' and Rickett,
wounded; Wright slightly wounded.
Affairs at times looked badly, but by the
gallantry of our brave officers and men dis
aster has been converted into a splendid vic
tory. Darkness again intervened to shut off
greater results. I now occupy Strasburg.
As soon as obtained I will send you further
particulars.
(Signed)
P. H. SHERIDAN,
Major General.
The battle was fought on the same day—
the 19th day of the month---that witnessed
Sheridan's victory in September.
What forces and their numbers, were oppos
ed to General Sheridan are not yet reported
to the Department, but the coolness, vigor
and success of the attack strongly indicate
that a heavy reinforcement had been sent from
Richmond, with the expectation of fulfilling
Longstreet's boast to smash up Sheridan.
Longstreet was known to be in the valley,
and had assumed command of the rebel army,
and confident hopes of an overwhelming dis
aster to the Union army were boastfully ex
pressed for several days back, by the rebel
adherents in Washington and Baltimore.
