Etlegrapil HARRISBURG, PA SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 22,1861; NATIONAL UNION TICKET. FOR PRESIDENT, Abraham Lincoln, OF ELLLIOD3. FOR VICE PRESIDENT. Andrew ,Johnson, O 7 TENNEEII3IIE. NOTICE TO PROTHONOTARIES The different Prothonotaries to whom scat tering returns of votes have been made, should return the same to the proper counties, where tfie persons voted for are candidates, as they will aid thereby in arriving at results which are now in doubt. A failure on the 'part of a Prothonotary to attend strictly to this part of his duty, may not only contribute to the for mal defeat of candidate's who are really elected, but it may involve the ProthonotarieH them- selves, on account of such violation of. duty, in serious trouble *hat Salmon P. Chase Thinks of Major', EMI In the coarse of one of the great speeches delivered by the great American financier, he uttered words which should be• kept in re membrance by every loyal man until the No vember election has been fought to a glorious victory. He insisted that mere majorities will not suffice. Large majorities will hardly be enough. We want and must have majori ties so overwhelming and decisive as will ex tinguish every hope in the hearts of the chiefs of the rebellion,. and in the hearts of foreign and domestic sympathizers with rebellion, ti r mt the American people will ever consent to the dismemberment of the American Union, or to the re-establishment of the ascendancy of the slaveholding oligarchy in the land of freedom. Isquisurvx.—Why don't the Democratic party call forth their heavy artillery and plant it on their ramparts, in the place of the Qua ker guns they are using? Where is Pendle ton—why don't he go to the people of the State of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and New York in behalf of the issues that divide him from the Union men of the country ? Why don't Vallandigham appear upon the walls of the Democratic citadel, to expound the faith? Where is George W. Woodward, Jerry Black, Frank Hughes, and James Bu chanan, that their voices are not heard ? When will Millard Fillmore again address the peo ple ? Where is McClellan? Why don't he take to,the platform and fire off his gun even if it is a wooden piece ? Where are all these great apostles of Democracy? We pause for a re- Ply. A Cumous Pinworm QUESTION.—By an act of the Babel Congress, it seems Davis' Secre tary of War is allowed to purchase United States currency. It is a penal offence, at the same time, however, to be found selling green backs within the Confederacy. The question, then, naturally arises*. where does the rebel Secretary of War go to market when he makes his little investments? Does he draw on Chi cago, or on Canada. Ku. Gs HEINEZEIZIAN, described in a Wheeling, Va., paper, as "a quick-spoken, silver-haired, handsome, earnest-looking man, about fifty-five years of age," followed Senator Willey at a Union meeting in Wheeling on the 6th, in a speech in which he said: "1 can see but two issues in this contest—an honorable peace accomplished by a vigorous war, or an armistice, a convention of States, and a final dissolution of the Union and eternal war." A "SPEarannt Barcx."—The 11. S. Christian Commission have' received from Nevada a sil ver and gold brick, worth $2,900 in currency, as a contribution to the cause. It is as much as a man could conveniently lift, and no man could carry such a brick in his hat without losing his balance or his hat. We believe it is one of several bricks of the kind the Com mission has or is to receive. SHOBTENINGTHE ROUTE.—The Directors of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad propose to make a new survey of a route from Tyrol* to near Blairsville, by which the great tunnel on the mountain will be avoided, and several miles saved in the distance between the points named. The reason for this movement is said to be an apprehension that the tunnel may cave in. MAst Union votes were lost at the late eke_ tion for want of thorough assessments. Let no vote be lost in that way at .the next and anal strpggle. See that every awn is assessed without delay ? and especially see that all the soldiers are assessed. Don't ask how they will vote—let them all have the chance. Tam is Stepan A. Douglas' estimate of Abra ham Lincoln : • "He is a fearless, honest man, and the coon try will be safe in his hands." This is what Mr. Douglas said to Genera Steadman at Detroit fin the autumn of 1860 just before Mr. Lincoln was elected. "Tars is a nigger war!" is the inscription seen upon mw.ti• of the banners carried at the copperhead meetings. We begin to think so BillCe the rebels are about to free 250,000 of their slant and arm the against the Federal Union. How fortunate for us, said the Richmond Whig, "that he (McClellan) was chosen chief of the Yankee army." That was when the ,'war was "a failure.," Since the rebel ood fortune in the command of our f orces ceased, the tide has turned. Can the Life of the Government be Pro. longed The aristocrats of the old world have been arguing for more than half a century, that the Republic .of the West would prove a failure. Indeed, some of the Governments of Europe, prompt at first to recognize the independence of the colonies., were impelled the;.eto by the hope, not that man would establish his ability for self - government, but that the scheme would fail, and thus vindicate the assumption that the many were born to be ruled by the self-anointed few, and that God had ordained the great mass of his children to exist beneath the heels of a titled class. The ideas of freedom and the practices of a Republican form of government, never had friends or recognition in, Europe; except it was those struggling heroes who have ever waged a conflict with king-craft. The rulers of Europe are in reality the enemies of free America. It is their interest to be so, be cause every year that is added to the life of the great Republic, is a rebuke to, is an argument 'and a God-like protest against the aristocratic domination in the old world. Hence, when the aristocrat's of the Southern States armed and took the field to destroy the Government, every throne in Europe was moved with pulsations of sympa thy for the slave-holders. England, that had lost millions of subjects and almost a hemi sphere of territory, by the war of the colo nies for independence, was the first to hold out the right hand of fellowship to the insur gent American's. John Bull hoped, if the aristocrats of the South succeeded in breaking up the Union and destroying free government on this side of the Atlantic—John Bull imag ined that he could, at least chain a portion of the old and the immortal Thirteen to his throne once more. Other tyrants in Europe were im bued with the same hope. All expected to come in for a share of territorial aggrandizement, as the- glorious galaxy of the stars on our ban ner were flung abroad in confusion, and hs State after State became defenceless in the isolation of disunion. This was the hope and this is still the plan of the rebellion of the slave-holding aristo crats. The whole scheme of rebellion hinges on this issue. The South took up arms to vindicate the aristocracy of slavery. * Europe extended its sympathy to the South, in the hope of securing the terri torial aggrandizement of its , rulers. Every ruling family in Europe wants thrones for their scions. Every slaveholder in the South yearns for titles for himself and family. The ruling families of the old world have long looked for thrones in the prosperous states of America, on which to seat their members. The aris tocrats of the South, and their allies in the North, like the bastard Jew Belmont, have been looking to Europe for titles of nobility. This makes the interests of the aristocrats on both sides of the Atlantic the same. They both look to the destruction of the American Union for the realization of their hopes. They both have joined hands in a bloody war on freedom, to destroy the American Govern ment. This is the real issue of the contest, alike on the battle field and at the ballot box. Can the life of the Government be preserved? If we succeed in crushing re bellion; of course the Government will con tinue to live and flourish in glory and pros perity. If we re-elect Abraham Lincoln, there is no doubt about the crushing out of re bellion. The triumph of Lincoln is the vie,. tory of the Union—the success of the Govern ment: Nothing could be plainer. A vote is as effectual in preserving the Government as a bullet. If the true Democracy succeed—if the Democracy of the ballot, which supports the Democracy of the bullet, wins a victory by the re-election of Abraham Lincoln, the Govern ment be:onies a fixed fact—it becomes an idea of power, of strength, majesty and freedom, that will last until God, and not man, orders its overthrow. Poor men of the Union! You that have neither broad acres or stately tenements to bequeath to your children—you that have only a Government to bestow—it is for you to decide whether that Government shall live —whether your children and their posterity shall remain freemen, or whether * they shall become the slaves of an aristocracy similar to that which now rules in Europe, and that which tyrannizes in the slave States. As certain as the slave-holders' rebellion suc ceeds, so sure will every laboring man in the land become a slave. This may net follow' immediately, but is bound to be realized speedily as one of the logical events of the success of rebellion. Then of course the poor man would have no government, andl• his children would become the slaves of the rich—of• an aristocracy similar in pride and arrogance to tilat which rules in Eu rope. There will be no voting after the oleo= tion of George B. M'Clellan. His triumph will put an end to the .rule of majorities.-- His success will be the overthrown of the rule of r ight, because it will vindicate the wrong as it is contained in slavery.. His victory will be the destruction of the Government, because thereby secession and disunion will be recog nized 'and benefated, therein confessing that the Union was a cheat, the Government a lie, and freedom a hallucination by which a people were hired to their tomb of eternal disgrace and slavery.

The Soldiers' Vote. 7o the Friends of "Lincoln and Johnm," Pennsylvania It. is of the utmost importance to get a flail vote of our g allant soldiers in the army for our county tickets at the November election. The requisite machinery for carrying en that election will be furnished by the State government. The work of finding out who are enabled to vote, and of attending to tl.o the necessary work of enabling them to vote, devolves upon you. It is necessary that every soldier, from every county, now in the army (except those re cently enlisted) should be assessed ct home and the nominal tax of ten cents paid for each, to enable him to Tote. On payment of the tax the collector must give a receipt in the name of the soldier. If you can, get duplicate receipts, and send one to the soldier by letter, .and request him, if he votes by proxy, to enclose his receipt in the envelope with his proxy. Tickets should be sent to the field by the commissioners appointed by the Governor, and by letter direct to the soldiers, wherever they are. In order to secure a full assessment, it will be necessary for our friends in each district to make a thorough and immediate canvass of their respective districts, in order to find out the names of evePy soldier therein who is entitled to vote, and have them assessed. We counsel our friends to attend to this at once. The method of assessment is pointed out in Section 40 of the act recently passed, viz : SEc. 40. It shall be the duty of every As sessor within this Commonwealth, annually, to assess and return, in the manner now re quired by law, a county tax of ten cents upon each and every non-commissioned officer and private, and the usual taxes upon every com missioned officer, known by them to be in ' the military service of the United States or of this State, in the army, and when any omission shall occur, the omitted name shall be added by such Assessors to the assessments and lists of voters, on the application of any citizen of the election district or precinct wherein such soldier might, or would, have a right to vote, if not in euch service as afore said; and such non-commissioned officers and privates shall be exempt from all 'other per sonal taxes during their coptimuance in such service; and said Assessors Ra', in each and every case of such assessed soldiers or officers, without fee or reward therefor, give a certificate of such regular additional assessment to any citizen of the election district or precinct who may at any time demand the same; and upon the presentation thereof to the Tax Collector of said district, or the Treasurer of the said county, it shall be the duty of such officer to pay the same for the soldier or officer therein named, and to endorse upon such certificate a receipt therefor; and it shall also be the duty of said Collector or County Treasurer to receive assessed tax from any person who may offer to pay the same for any of said officers or soldiers without requiring a certificate of as sessment, when the name of such person shall have been duly entered upon the assessment books and tax duplicates; and give a receipt therfor to such person, specially stating there in the name of the soldier or officer whose tax is thus paid, the year for which it was as sessed, and the date of the payment thereof; which said certificate and receipt, or receipt only, shall be printa facia evidence to tiny election or Board provided for by this Act, before which the same may be offered, of the due assessment of the said tax against, and the payment thereof by the soldier or officer therein named, offering the same as aforesaid; but said Election Board shall not be thereby precluded from requiring other proof of the right to vote, as specified by this Act or the Gl-anored ElentiCE Laws of cammonwealth; and if any of said Assessors, Collectors or Treasurers shall neglect or refuse to comply with the provisions of this Section, or to per form any of the duties therein•enjoined upon them, or either of them, he or they so offend ing shall be considered and adjudged guilty of a misdemeanor in office, and shall, on con viction, be fined in any sum not less than twenty nor more than two hundred dollars: Fronde, That the additional assessments re quired to be made by the above Section in the City of Philadelphia shall be made on appli cation of any citizen of the election district or precinct thereof, upon oath or affirmation of such citizen, to be administered by the As sessor, that such absent soldier is a citizen of the election district or precinct wherein such assessment is required by such citizen to be made. If any Assessor refuses to perform his duty, apply to him the penalties herein pointed out.' There is a class of soldiers who are away from their companies and regiments, on de tached duty, in the Veteran Reserve Corps, &c., and the election law provides that wher ever there is a less number than ten soldiers at any one place, they may send a proxy to any friend at home to vote for them. The mode is pointed out by law: SEC. 32. When any of the electors men tioned in the first, section of this Act, less than ten in number, shall be members of companies of another State or Territory, or, for any sufficient and legal cause, shall be separated from their proper company, or shall be in any hospital, navy yard, vessel, or on recruiting, provost, or other duty, whether within or without this State, under such cir cumstances as shall render it probable that he or they will be unable to rejoin their 'proper company, or to be present at his proper place of election, on or before the day of elections therein mentioned, said elector or electors shall have a right to vote in the following manner: SEC. 83. The voter aforesaid is hereby, au thorized, before the day if election, to, de posit his ballot, or ballots, properly folded; as required by the general election laws of this State, or otherwise, as the voter may choose, in a sealed envelope, together with a written or printed, or partly written or partly printed statement, containing the name of the voter, the county, township, borough or ward, of which he is a resident, and a written or printed authority to some qualified voter in the election district of which said voter is a resident, to cast the ballots contained in said envelope for him on the day of said election. Said statement and authority 'to be signed by the said voter, and attested by the command ing or some commissioned officer of the com pany of which he is a member, in the case of a private, and of some commissioned officer of the regiment in the case of an officer, if any such officers are conveniently accessible, and if otherwise, then by some other witness; and there shall also accompany said ballots an affidavit of said voter taken before some one of the officers aforesaid, and in the ab sence of such officers, before some other per son duly authorized to administer oaths, by any law of this State, that he is a qualified voter in the election district in which he pro poses to vote, that he is in the actual military service of tbe United States, or of this State, describing the organization to.which he be longs, that he has not sent his ballots to any other person or persons than the one in such authority mentioned, that he will not offer to to vote at any poll, which may be opened on such election day, at- any place whatsoever, and that he, is not a deserter,. and has not been dishonorably dismissed frem the service, and that-he is now stationed at in the State of . Said sealed' envelope, con ,;taininglhe ballots, statement, authority and affidavit es - aforesaid, to be sent to the proper person, by mail or otherwise, having written or printed on the outside, across the sealed part thereof, the' words "soldier's ballot for - township, (borough or ward) in the county of-. Sac. 34. The elector to whom such ballot shall be sent shall, on the day of election and whilst the polls of the properidistriot exe open, deliver the envelope so received, unopened, to the proper election officer, who shall open the same in the presence of the election board, and deposit the ballots therein con tained, together with the envelopes and ac companying papers, as other ballots are de •posited, and said board shall count and can vass the same in the same manner as other votes are cast at said election; and the person delivering the same may, on the demand of any elector, be compelled to testify on oath, that the envelope so delivered by him is in the same state as when received by him, and that the same has not been opened orthe con tents thereof changed or altered in any way by him. These proxies must be here Wore the Bth day of November, so that whatever is done to secure them must be done now. Let our friends in each district, in their canvass for this purpose, ascertain the names and address of all who are so detached, that they cannot vote with their brethren in the army, and send blank proxies to them, with tickets, so that the blanks may be filled and returned in time for the November election. Blank proxies can be had on application to the Secretary of the Committee. We call upon our friends throughout the State to take this matter in hand at once, and push it vigorously to completion. Having secured to the soldier the right to vote, let us see to it that he has every possi sible opportunity of exercising that right at the November election.

PROCIAIRTION' BY THE PRESIDENT Day of National Thanksgiving and Prayer. • The Last Thursday of November Set Apart. Prayer for Union and Peace. WASHSNOTON, Oct. 21. The following proclamation was promul gated this afternoon: BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. A PROCLAMATION. It has pleased Almighty God to prolong our national life another year. Defending us with His guardian care against unfriendly designs- from abroad, and vouch safing us, in his mercy, many and signal vic tories over the enemy, (who is of our house hold, ) it has also pleased our Heavenly Fa ther to favor as well our citizens in their homes as our soldiers in their camps and our sailors on the rivers and seas with unusual health. He has largely augmented our free popula tion by emancipation and by immigration, while he has opened to us new resources of wealth, and has crowned the labor of the workingman in every department of industry with abundant reward. Moreover, He has been pleased to animate and inspire our minds and hearts with forti tude, courage and resolution sufficient for the great trial of civil war into which we have been brought by our adherence as a nation to the cause of freedom and humanity, and to afford to us reasonable hopes of an ultimate and happy deliverance from all our dangers and afflictions. Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, Presi dent of the United States, do hereby appoint and set apart the last Thursday in November next, as a day which I desire to be observed by all my fellow citizens, wherever they may then be, as a day of thanksgiving and praise to Almighty God, the beneficent creator and ruler of the universe.' And I do further recommend to my 'fellow citizens aforesaid, that on that occasion they do reverently humble themselves in the dust, and from thence offer up penitent and fervent prayers and supplications to the great disposer of events, for a return of the inestimable bless ings of peace, Union and harmony, through out the land which it has pleased him to as sign as a dwelling place for ourselves and our posterity throughout ail generations. In testimony wherbof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington, this - 20th day of October, in the year of our Lord one , thousand eight hundred and sixty-four, and of the independence of the United States the eighty-ninth. ABRAHAM LINCOLN. By the President, Wrr. H. SEWARD, Secretary of State. FROM MOBILE BAY AFFAIRS AT NEW ORLEANS The steamers Morning Star, from New Or leans, with dates to the 15th inst., has arrived. The steamer Sua Nada and P.mpire.Citylwere in the river on the 15th. Several army offi cers made a daring reconnoissance in Mobile. Bay on the 10th, peeping inside of all the ob; structionS and returning safely. One of our gunboats, while reconnoitering in Mary Cove, was fired into, but no serious damage was in flicted. A severe storm had occasionod some damage to one or two sailing vessels. A coal laden brig was driven ashore and will proba bly be lost. General Granger has gone to Pensacola. General Asboth has returned from his expe dition. General Newton had arrived at New Orleans; en route to take command at Key West. It was surmised that Admiral Fairagut was going east. The severe trade regulations have effectually stopped all business at New Orleans. There is nothing late from Mexico to con firm the reported capture of ltlatamota - s by the French. - Army of the Potomac. WASEEINGTOIkT, Oct. 22 A letter from the Army of the Potomac, dated yesterday,- says quiet has prevailed in front of Petersburg during the past week, in terrupted only by occasional picket firing, which was commenced on Thursday night, and lept up with spirit till daylight, along the centre of the line. Heavy firing was also heard in the direction of James river, but the object of it was not known. The dispatch mumtuming a Union - victory in the valley caused the most hearty rejoicing among the troops. Col. Lowell Killed.. BoeroN, October 21. Colonel Lowell, of the 2d Massaohnietia Cavalry, was killed .In the , battle of Ceder Creek. - • • IMMENSE UNION DEMONSTRATION, Grand . Torchlight Procession. A SPEECH BY THE PRESIDENT. The torch-light procession here, to-night, by the Union men, was a great success. No thing like it has ever been seen in Washing ton. - All the Union clubs were well repre sented. But this was only a nucleus. Im mense numbers of the citizens participated. There were men carrying torches in the pa rade who were not supposed to have any in terest in the Union cause. It was really the grandest demonstration ever witnesssed in Washington. The procession started from the Patent Office, and the square was completely filled. The parade went to the White House and called upon President Lincoln for a speech. The President spoke as follows: "Farrow-CrriziNs: I was promised not to be called upon for a speech to-night, nor do I propose to make one, but we haVe been having some very good news for . a day or two, so I propose that you give three cheers for Sheri dan. While we are at it we may as well con sider' how fortunate it was for the secesh that Sheridan was a little man. If he had been a large man there is no knowing what he would have done with them. I propose three cheers for General Grant, who knew to what use to put General Sheridan; three cheers for all our noble commanders, and the soldiers and sail ore ; three cheers for all the people, everywhere, who cheer the soldiers and sailors of the Union. And now good-night." The procession now passed through Penn sylvania Avenue, and was one hour and fifteen minutes in passing one point. The 'Navy Yard Club had two six pounders with them, which they fired every few minutes. CHEERING NEWS FROM GENERAL CURTIS lloseerans in the Field The Guerrillas Joining Price His Force About 30,000 Sr. LOUIS, Oct. 20. A correspondent at Jefferson City, writing under date of the 13th, says: "Everything looks much more favorable.to night. The news from General Curtis is most cheering. General Rosecrans took the field to-day, and to night is many miles from here. "Price has declared an amnesty to all de serters from his army who have been bush wacking, and they are joining him. Bill An derson will join him in a few days. Quantrell has been promoted to a brigadier generalship, and Jackman is to have charge of a division. Holtzelard is also to report to Price. This clearly shows that the guerrilla leaders of this State are commissioned officers of the regu lar Confederate service. Lieutenant Colonel Hynes, of the 17th Il linois Veteran Cavalry, who was captured at Glasgow and paroled, expresses the opin ion that the rebels cannot fight mounted, and that our infantry is more than a match for them. He'also says that Price has 30,000 men. ONE HUNDRED AND PLAY THOUSAND DOra.4s•' WORTH OP PROPERTY LOST AT GLASGOW—RE PULSE OF OUERRELLAS BY COLORED TROOPS. ST.

Louis, Oct. 2L —A special dispatch to the Democrat, from Jefferson city, says: "The rebels re-crossed the Missouri river at Brunswick the day before yesterday. They now hold Brunswick, Keetsville and Conolion, and are plundering them. "Colonel Perkins encamped yesterday at Fayette, Howard county, with a regiment of bushwhackers. General Fisk is repairing the railroad west of Jefferson city. "The latest information from Gen. Price said his camp was at Waverly, the northeast ern corner of Lafayette county. Rosecrans was following him closely. His train num bers over 400 wagons, which he was evidently trying to get through the soutwestern portion of the State while he moved throUgh Kailsas. "Price and the bogus Gov. Reynolds are re ported .to haire had two quarrels, the latter thinking it practicable to hold the State, and the former that it was not. There is trouble brewing in Price's camp. Many of his offi cers swear they won't go back to Arkansas, but will remain in Missouri whether he does or not." C111P17.4 FIGHTING WITH PRICE'S ADVANCIC-SAN-. BORN. SICERNITSHENG WITH THE REBEL SHELBY -THE UNION FORCES IN GOOD POSITION. New Max, Oct. 22 ST LOUIS, Oct. 21.—The Democrat's Jeffer son City special dispatch says that General Curtis has been fighting Price's advance all day on the Little Blue river, ten miles from Independence. Curtis holds a good position, and will stand for a regular engagement if Price will continue the conflict. Reseorans will be near or at Lexington, and the Laanime bridge will be repaired, and the railroad running to Warrensburg in two or three days. • Everything is working finely, and reinforce ments will be at the right place at the proper time. General Sanborn is reported to be skirmish ing with Shelby to-day, between Booneville and Waverly. A destructive fire occurred here last night, in what is known as the Dramt Navy Yard, which was totally destryed, with a large new brick mill, counting room and two houses beloning to the Merrimac Woolen company. The total loss is about $250,000. Two hun dred operators are thrown out of employment by this fire. General Butler Carries his Point. Weszaawrow, Oct. 22. We haVe Richmond dates again of the 19th. The only item of news of any importance is the statement that the rebels have released our colored prisoners they had put to work in the trenches, and for which Butler put in his canal as many of the first families of Virginia.
