The Soldiers' Vote.
The following ie the official vote returned
at the office of the Secretary of State, of the
vote in the army:
Union
Copperhead
Union majority
The Victory in Penney
It astonishes us that the rebel organs have
the effrontery to claim a partial victory on
the result of the late Pennsylvania election.
They seem determined to keep then readers
in total ignorance, and hence proclaim, daily,
that a majority of the people of Pennsylva
nia sympathize with rebellion, and have de
clared an opposition at the ballot-box to any
further prosecution of the war. Now let us
examine the result ; an examination which
will carry every candid reader to the follow
ing conclusions :
Ist. The Union men have twelve members
in the present Congress. 2he result of the re
cent elections positively establishes . that sket, en,
if not eighteen Union men will occupy seats in
the next Congress. The copperheads have
elected only six of their obnoxious Congres
sional candidates. Is this not a GAIN of
FOUR or SIX in e:J, hers of Congress ?
2d. In the State Senate the Union men had
but ONE majority last year, inct in the next or
ganization of the Senate that party trill have at
least a majority of FIVE. Is this a Copper
head gain ?
3d. The Union lien had SIX majority in the
last House of Representatives. In the organ
ization of thenext louse airy will have at least
TWENTY majority. Is this another Copper
head gain? We can't see it in that light.
4th. The copperheads claim a majority on
the popular vote in Congress. How does this
stand the test of truth? We have the official
returns from all the counties fir; the State ex
cept Forest, Jefferson, Mercer, Venango and
York, and estimating these the same as they
voted last year, the Union majority is still
1,962. To this must be added a majority of
at least 15,000, given by the soldiers. This
will give us a larger Union majority than we
had last year for Gov. Curtin. The talk about
the home vote is mere pretext, partaking of
that shallow sophistry which always distin
guishes the" Democratic party in defeat. Our
soldiers are at home everywhere when bat
ding beneath the flag of their country. To
them the battle-field is a home, around which
cluster more honorable memories than those
which cling to the palaces of such speculators
in the nation's honor, glory and credit, as the
Jew Belmont. The right of the soldier to
express his political opinions and preferences
through the ballot-box, has become the most
sacred of all the franchises with which the
citizen, defending the honor of his country,
can be invested. For the enjoyment of this
grand privilege, the soldier is under no obli
gation to the demagogues who now oppose
the re-election of Abraham Lincoln.
—But we have neither the time nor the in
clination tn multiply words on this subject.
The copperheads were completely routed at
the late elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana, and will meet a like, if not a more
terrible defeat, at the November election, in
every loyal State in the Union.
TaE RESOITECES of PENNSYLVA.NIA. .—Perhaps
in no State of the Union, have the resources
thereof been more largely developed, than in
Pennsylvania. In several of the southern
counties, cotton has been successfully culti
vated on a small scale, while the growing of
tobacco has been made one of the principal
crops of the farmer. Indeed the importance
of tobacco planting has now become of the
first character, and its harvest a matter of
great importance. We now observe that in
Cambria, Somerset and the adjoining coun
ties, a good quality of Tar is being manufac
tured from the knots of the pitch pine. The
manufacture of this substitute for North Car
olina tar is carried on quite extensively, and
has already considerably depreciated the
price of the latter - article. The tar thus pro
duced answers nearly all the requisites as a
substitute, for the original article.
ALL the old Know-Nothing leaders—those
men who used to cry "No Popery" with such
zest, and who demanded an extension of the
period of naturalization to 21 years—now be
long to the Copperhead organization. In the
ranks of the Chicago party are Morris Ketch
um, James Brooks, Erastus Brooks, Leslie
Coombs, Millard Fillmore, Washington Hunt,
William Duer, Robert C. Winthrop, and the
whole clan of so-called "Native Americans."
And yet there are thousands of Irish Catho
lics who intend to vote for the ticket con
cocted by the very individuals who have spent
their lives in heapipg abuse upon them and
their religion.
Jo= C. Ilumm, Esq., of this city, is an
nounced to speak in Indiana, on the 4th of
November, at a grand Union Mass Meeting.
We can safely promise our Indiana friends a
speech of great power and eloquence, as Mr.
K, is one of the favorite orators of the
country,
Tsui= are many remarkable instances of
defective memory, but the most remarkable
on recoid is that of Gen. M'Clellan, who "does
not remember" whether he was on shore or
on the river while the battle of Malvern Hill
was being fought !
The Last Lie of the Enemies of the Gov
ernment Exposed.
A day or two since, this entire community
was aroused to indignation by the appearance
of an article in the opposition journal pub
lished here, containing the grossest, foulest,
falsest and most cowardly attack upon the
President of the United States. The attack
wag conducted under the cover
, of a confa
sion alleged to have been made by a sister-in
law of Mr. Lincoln; and constituted the most
brutal and unmanly invasion of the sacred
precincts of domestic life—seeking the pollu
tion of the blood of a' virtuous wife and
mother, while it attempted the degradation of
the private character of the Chief Magistrate
of the nation. The object of this assault was
not the vindication of virtue. The attack on
Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln was not made to pro
mote the morals of the nation. It was merely
one of those tricks peculiar to the Democratic
leaders, to gain votes at an. election. God
save the land from the rule of such desperate
villains, alike the defamers of the Govern
ment and those'representing its just author
ity.

The following 4ffadavit explodes the fabrica
tion of the Patriot and Union. Mrs. Todd
was the authority used for the foul aspersion
of the character of Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln.
Now read the truth, under the solemn obliga
tion of an oath, from Mrs. Todd herself:
City of Harrisburg, Dauphiu county, State of
Pennsylvania:
Personally appeared before me, an Alder
man in and for said city, this twentieth day of
October, 1.861, Mrs. Mary Ann Todd, widow
of John Todd, deceased, and deposes as fol
lows:
I have read the article in the Patiot and
Union, date of 19th October, 1864, headed
"A Chapter for Abe Lincoln's Higtory," and
hereunto annexed; some of the statements I
made to the reporter of the paper, who drew
them from me by questions, but the majority
of the statements ascribed to me are the in
vention of the writer.
All of the statements, both my own and
those of the writer are utterly and entirely
false. her
MARY 1 ANN TODD,
mark.
Sworn and subscribed, October 20th, 1864,
before M. S. BOWER, Alderman.
. We have no comment to offer on this af
fair, so far as the assailants of Mr. and Mrs.
Lincoln are concerned. By this whole busi
ness, the community can hereafter estimate
the character of the men who now control the
columns of the Patriot and Union. It exhib
its the desperation of bad men engaged in an
unholy cause, and only needed this to prove
that they are alike insensible to the control
of personal honor and political fairness. We
considered it a desperate game when the at
tempt was started to elect George B. McClel
lan President of the United States, by a di
rect attack on the integrity of the Govern-
ment; but we leave the people to decide how
much more desperate that cause must be
which depends for its success, by direct libels
on the good names and virtue of a father
and mother—a husband and wife.
—As many of our readers have expressed a
desire to see the article anu.aoa to *bole, we
have transferred it to our columns to-day,
that the public may thereby have an oppor
turdty of sounding the depths of Copperhead
depravity and desperation by its perusal.
Henceforth billingsgate will be most emphat
ically recognized in copperheadism
Look to Your Government Securities
Mr. Augustus Belmont, the Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, is the agent
and banker in the employ of almost all the
millionare aristocratic representatives of the
ruling factions in the old World. These aris
tocrats have all invested largely in confederate
securities. The investments were made, first,
as a matter of profit, the traitors offering the
most unheard of rates of interest, and second;
as a matter of pride, the aristocracy of the
old world desiring the success of the slave
holders' rebellion in order to explode the
democratic doctrine of man's ability for self
government. Belmont, while he acts as Chair
man of the Democratic National Committee,
is only serving his European masters. If he
can secure the success of what is called
"Northern Democracy,"Belmont promotes the
value of Southern securities. All the Europeain
friends of the Southern Confederacy now ac
knowledge that in order to promote the tri
umph of the slave-holders, it is only necessary
to secure the success of the Democratic party.
That party is pledged to the recognition of the
Southern Confederacy, and when that is ac
complished,Belmont and his European friends
will reap a rich financial harvest. It may be
well also to state, that Mr. Belmont, although
the controller of millions of floating capital,
has not invested a dollar in the loans of the
Government, made necessary to secure the
overthrow of rebellion. He appreciated his
relations with the foreign abetters of treason,
apd was aware that his European employers
would call on him to assist in destroying the
national Union and Government. Hence his
caution in refusing.tp invest in Federal seen
, rities. Hence, too, his ,alacrity in aiding the
cause of rebellion to secure the investments
1 of his foreign employers.
—The American holders of American secu
rities can, of course, appreciate Mr. Belmout's
attitude and conduct in these premises. We
submit these facts to every bondholder, with
out further comment.
MCCLELLAN'S SELF-CONTROL.—An exchange
quoting the declaration of the opposition
journals that General McClellan has perfect
self-control, remarks: "We never heard of
his losing his temper but once, and that was
when Colonel Metcalf, of Kentucky, told him
that his friend Jeff Davis was not a gentle
man. That put him in a great rage."
Tun Copperheads complain that the Ad
ministration influence is used against them.
But they certainly should not complain at
that, inasmuch as the influence of the rebel
administration is used for them. Every one
helps his friends.
Vlcrouv can only be lost by going to the
rear. Let every man continue at his post,
and hard at work. So shall Rebeldont and
Copperheadism be ours, and fairly won. Con
fidence must not beget apathy.
Tun "THREE GEORGES" AT HOME.— SPeAkitig
of the tremendous laying out which the three
Georges got in Cincinnati last Tuesday—Pen
dleton's district, which he has represented
for years, going against him, in the person of
his brother "George" E. Pugh, 1,700 on tLe
home vote, and about 4,000 with the soldiers,
and Long's district slaughtering him to ti e
tune of 2,300, to be made 5,000 by the sol
diers—the Cincinnati Gazette says:
When we come to reflect upon these facts,
it is not surprising that the eastern papers
attach so much importance to the victory in
Hamilton county. We have wiped out our
Congressional disgrace; killed one of the
"Georges," and wounded another of the
"three" very severely. And when we come to
think of it, the other "George" was also a
resident of our city, and if our friends abroad
choose, they may consider the 9,000 Union
majority, as the opinion of our people of
George B. .111'Clellan. We are good for 9,000
in November, toward finishing up the "three
Georges."
PARSON BROWNLOW says that half the slave
holders of Tennessee are for Lincoln, not be
cause they approve of all his acts, but because
they consider him the man to put down the
rebellion; and that those who are for
lan there are traitors at heart, who do not
want the rebellion put down.
PUTTING IT BALL—The Chicago Conven
tion struck out of Washington Hunt's resolu
tion the clause, "insisting on maintaining the
national.nnity." Pennsylvania, Ohio and In
diana have voted to put that back.
VALLiLNDIGHAM, as Commander-in-Chief of
the Western conspirators, was simply per
forming the functions of his office when he
took command of the Chicago Convention. •

CEDAR CREEK, Oct. 20, 11:30 A. M.
Lieut. Gen. U. S. Grant, City Point :
We have again been favored by a great vic
tory—a victory won from disaster, by the gal
lantry of our officers and men. -
The attack on the enemy was made about 3
o'clock, P. at., by a left half wheel of the
whole line, with a division of cavalry turning
each flank of the enemy, the whole line ad
vancing.
The enemy, after a stubborn resistance,
broke and fled, and were pursued with vigor.
The artillery captured will probably be
over 50 pieces. This, of course, includes
what were captured from our troops in the
morning. At least sixteen hundred prisoners
haveleen brought in alsowagons and ambu
lances in large numbers.
This morning the cavalry - made a dash at
Fisher's Hill and carried it, the enemy having
fled during the nightleaving only a small rear
guard.
I have to regret the loss of many valuable
offi.cees, killed and wounded, among them
Col. Joseph Thorburn, commanding a divi
sion of Crook's command, killed ; Col. J.
Howard Litchen, commanding a 'brigade,
Wounded ; Col. R. G. M. Lusie, commanding
a brigade, wounded severely, but would not
leave the field.
I cannot yet give exact details. Many of
our men captured in the morning have made
their escape and are coming in.
Ramseur, commanding a division in Early's
corps, died this morning
(Signed) P. H. SHERIDAN,
Major General Commanding.
Gen. Grant's appreciation - of the victory is
expressed in the following dispatch:
Gni POINT, Oct. 20, 8 T. M.
To E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War:
I had a salute of one hundred guns from
each of the armies here, fired in honor of
Sheridan's last victory. Turning, what had
bid fair to be a disaster into a glorious vie

thought him—one of the ablest of generals.

slOO,OOO More of the Stolen
Money Recovered.
E LEADER OF THE RAIDERS CAUGHT.
—.—
The Canadian Authorities Will Surren
der the Robbers.
ST. ALBANS, Oct. 20, 4 P. M.
Captain Conger's party have returned, and
report they caught the leader of the raiders
at Stanbridge, and recovered one hundred
thousand dollars, in addition to fifty thousand
dollars recovered this morning.
The Canadian authorities are still after the
villains, and there is a good prdspect of the
capture of the whole gang. The Governor
General of Canada has telegraphed that he
will respond to a requisition from the United
States Government for the surrender of the
robbers already arrested, and such as may
hereafter be arrested. The St. Albans Bank
lost seventy-five thousand dollars; the Frank
lin County Bank, eighty-five thousand dol
lars, and the First National Bank, fifty-four
thousand dollars.
QUMIEC, Oct. 21.—Information of the out
rage at St. Albans was communicated to the
Government yesterday, and a number of de
tectives and a body of troops were at once
despatched to the.frontier with orders to ar
rest the parties at all hazards.
The Government is fully determined to use
every possible means to put a stop to such
abuses of Canadian hospitality. If the op
portunity is afforded, an example will be fur
nished, to prevent similar attempts in the fu
ture. The police are on the track of the
bank robbers.
EARS OF A REBEL ATTACK ALLAYED
Movements of Forrest and Chalmers
The steamer Nannie Birch, from Memphis,
has passed up. Business, which was entirely
suspended at Memphis, has been resumed.
The militia are disbanded, as the danger is
believed to be over.
It is the opinion at headquarters that the
rebels have no intention of attacking Memphis.
'Their design was to cover the march of troops
into Kentucky. No rebel force is within five
miles of the city.
The last heard of Chalmers, he was south
of Hernando, retreating towards the swamps
of Tallahatchie.
Forrest was en route for Meridian with his
prisoners.
An important Decision by the
Provost Marshal General.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.
Provost Marshal General Fry, in a letter to
the Mayor of Washington, says credit will be
allowed only for such men as are obtained by
the draft. Persons who are drawn and fail
to report, are not considered by the law offi
cers of the Government, nor by the Provost
Marshal General's Bureau, as obtained in the
meaning of the law. They will not therefore be
credited unless they shall bestl i sequently ar
rested and held to service. view of the
decision some of our prominentcitizens have
taken measures to discover the whereabouts
of those who have failed to report, offering a
reward of fifty dollars for every such drafted
man who may bg naught and held to service.
According to Cren. Fry's decision, it would
appear that citizens are held responsible for
drafted absentees.

Carelessness of Election Com

WASHINGTON', Oct. 20.
The Commissioners from Pennsylvania, to
hold elections here and at Annapolis in Octo

and careless manner that several hundred
votes were lost, and more would have been
burfor the volunteered aid to soldiers of
agents from Ohio. .
New York has now a force of over twenty
here, canvassing every hospital and camp
thoroughly. Pennsylvania should be on the
alert, and not lose again in November. It is

Renovo and Emporium
TOWN LOTS FOR SA.LJE
TigPHILADELPHIA AND ERIE LAND
IiPANY, chartered by an act of the Legislature
of Pennsylvania, oilers for sale choice lots for dwellings
and business purposes in the above new towns on the
line of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad.
RENOVO has been selected as the site for the exten
sive shops for building and repairing the rolling stock of
the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad, of which the Penna.
Railroad Company are now lessees. It is 92 miles west of
Sunbury, and 190 miles east of Erie. The town is beau
tifully situated on the margin of the west branch of the
Susquehanna river, in the county of Clinton, and is sur
rounded by romantic and attractive scenery. The Rail
road Company are erecting an immense Locomotive
Round Rouse, Repair Shops for Cars and Engines,(kir
Building shop Irn and Brass Furnaces, and Dwellings
for the Superintendent and other officers. A splendid
Hotel, with which are connected arrangements for feeding
passengers on the most extensive scale, has been com
menced. All these buildings are of the most permanent
and substantial character, of brick and iron, and are in
accordance with the immense business anticipated on the
completion of this great. Railroad, so long anxiously
looked for, and now an accomplished fact—the last rail
connecting the Susquehanna river with Lake Erie having
been laid on Saturday, July 2d, 1861.
A Company has been chartered by the Legislature for
supplying the town with gas and water, and the water
works are nearly completed. Churches will be erected
immediately. The situation of RENOVO is entirely
healthy, and as the dimensions of the town are limited
by nature, the value of the lots must appreciate greatly
in the course of a few years.
EMPOSIUM. will certainly be the most Important com•
mercial point between Lock Haven and Warren, 'a dis
tance of 138 miles. It is near the centre of toe railroad,
47 miles west of St novo ; 159 miles from Sunbury and.
149 miles from Erie It is near the Junaon of the Drift
wood Branch of the Sinnemahoaing, with West Creek,
Portage Creek and North Creek, the Valleys of which
streams mate it the most accessible point on the Phila
delphia and Erie railroad to a very extensive district of
country. The moment the projected railroad connecting
it with the city of Rochester, N. Y., shall be completed,
few interior towns in the State will surpass , it in business
Capabilities. An excellent graded road now connects it
with Coudersport, theseat of Justice of Potter county.
It is also connected with Smethport, the seat of Justice of
McKean county. Emporium is the County Seat of Cam
eron county; it hes a handsome Court House, and the
Land Company have just completed. a large and commo
dious Hotel, which wilt immediately be opened to the
public. The Railroad Company are about to erect a hand
some and permanent Paissenger Station at, a central point
nearthe Hotel and Court Douse. The place is healthy,
anti excellent water is abundant. It is in the midst of
one or the finest White Pine regions in Pennsylvania.
As a manufacturing town it has great advantages; coal,
lumber, stone, bark for tanneries are abundant, and ho
railroad communications with the great lakes and all
points of importance in the seaboard are unsurpassed..
This Or c teas selected thirty years ago as a point of im
portance, slat a town laid out with the prophetic name of
EMPORIUM, but the difficulty or access has prevented
its development so entirely that it is mainly known for
the excellence of hunting and trout fishing in the vlcinity.
The completion of the Philadelphia and Erio railroad
most soon make it a place of - groat importance as a distri
buting point for goods of all kinds, and it offers great
advantages for persons of moderate capital who desire
to identify themselves with the early history of a thriv
ing town.

A RARE CHANCE TO MAKE MONEY!
Valuable Oil Stocks for Sale!
TO capitalists and others who wish a good,
safe and reliable paying Investment : lam now of
fering a limited number of shares of the most calable
Oil Stocks ever offered for sale in this country. The his
tory of the world scarcely affords an example of the
rapid rise of any article into general and commercial an.
portance, as has been that of Petroleum. From a corn
putatively limited home traffic, it has sprung into a cad
foreign trade, amounting pert aps to $50,000,000 per an
num, and is only yet in its infancy. From twenty-Bye
cents per barrel, as it was a few years since, when theta
was little home consumption, and no export trade, it has
advanced to twenty dollars per barrel, with a foreign de
mand that cannot be supplied. That vast region presents
inexhaustible fountains of wealth that have so long bees
hidden deep In the earth.
I am prepared to dispose of a limited number of shares
of Stock in tte celebrated "BURNING SPRING OIL
COMPANY OF PENNSYLVANIA, with a capital
stock•of $1,000,000! A vast territory of more than one
thousand two hundred acres of land, situated to the
midst of the most valuable :end most productive oil regions
of Venango county, Pennsylvania, and the great Kana
wha Valley in West Virginia. Two (2) wells are now
yielding largely and four others are being rapidly sunk.
I am also prepared to offer a certain number tf shares
in the "Rotlibzme 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
will rank first among the safest and best paying companies
in the country, opening, as they certainly will, a vast field
for substantial and permanent investment.
This stock will only be offered for a Jew weeks, as I ex
pect to leave very soon for "Oil Dorado," to superintend
the operations of the company in person.
Descriptions of the land, together with full particulars
and all the information desired, will be given on applica
tion either in person or through the mails.
