The Home 'Vote.
The copperheads are again harping upon
the home vote,'and allege they have a majority
01467. This is a decided coming down. A few
days since they claimed not less than 5,000,
but the real figures on the home vote stand
as follows:
For the Union Congressmen 197,392
For the Copperhead Congressmen ...197,001
Union majority
In order to cypher out a majority for their
candidates, they willfully lie in the returns
from the following counties:
In Adams county they claim 411 majority.
The real majority is 365—a lie of 46 votes.
•In Fulton they claim 290. The official is
288—a lie of 2 votes.
In Clarion they claim 986. The official is
968—a litrof 18 votes.
In Cambria they claim 1,070. The officia
is 1,043--a lie of 27 votes.
In Westmoreland they claim 1,478. The
official is 1,477—a lie of 1 vote,
In York they claim 2,880. The official is
2,808—a lie of 72 votes.
Several other manifest mistakes are down in
their tables, but these are more than sufficient
to show that the calculation is made for the
purpose of cheating Union men out of their
bets which they induced them to make. The
whole story of the home vote is gotten up for
the purpose of defrauding the men whom
they induced to bet. We advise all our friends
not to give up the bets. You have won them
honestly, and your opponents must give up
the stakes.
The soldiers' vote will increase the Union
maiori'to in Ma RtsA ntrar nnn
enough for one day.
TREASON UNMASKED IS I
Trial of the Columbia County Rebels
THE HNIGHTS . OE THE GOLDEN CIRCLE ;
A military commission has been in session
in this city for some days, sitting as a Court-mat.-
Val for the trial of parties charged with hav
ing organized and armed themselves to resist
certain measures deemed necessary for the
military success , of the government in the
great struggle to defeat the slave-holders' re
bellion. These trials were of a character likely
to create new precedents and at the same time
were fraught with that impbrtance which in
duced us to observe a reticence during the
delivery of the testimoty, that we deemed
necessary to the impartial judgment of the
court and the meting out of full justice to
those arraigned. But now that one of those
thus charged has had his trial, we deem it not
ont of place to print some of the facts which
appeared in the evidence, in order to con
vince our readers of the real position, objects
and fell purposes of those who are now in
what they naively term PoLrrrcAL OPPOSITION
TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
The readers of the Tory Organ in this city,
as well as the readers of every treason sympa
thizing sheet in the country, have been songht
to be enlightened with the idea, that the Ad
ministation was guilty of great wrong in the
proceedings instituted against the Columbia
county conspirators. The . opposition jour
nets claimed that the arrest of these men was
illegal and their trial informal. So far as we
are concerned, we have never justified the de
tention of any man without a declaration of
the specific charges upon which he was held.
In the trial which has just terminated by the
conviction of one John Rentz, the evidence
of notorious guilt almost justifies any infor
mality in bringing such a wretch, coward and
traitor to justice. Rentz was convicted by
the testimony of his own associates, The
weapon which the government used fbr his .
punishment was forged by himself at the fire
of that fanaticism kindled by the Democratic
leaders, and spread by them in organizations
of oath-bound traitor to the Union,
It will be remembered that a large body of
men were encntope'd in. Columbia county, for
the purpose of resisting the arrest of drafted
men, and men who had deserted the flag of
their country after they had been worn into
service and received large local and govern
ment bounties, and that this lawless banditti
murdered a man engaged.in the perform
ance of his duty. The necessity for the trial
before this court-martial originated in this
murder.
As we have already stated, the evidence on
which Rentz was convicted was derived en
tirely from gentlemen associated with hirn in
his political movements. These witnesses re
pented, after having seen the fo]ly of th e i r
pursuits, and the testimony of onA of 'these is
sufficient to expcise the ivhige.iith.di
EDWARD M'EfrssY sworn—Resides in Ben
ton township, Columbia county; a carpenter.
I:know the prisoner, John Rentz; I know of
the existence of a secret organization in my
county, called the "Knights of the Golden
Circle;" the object of that meeting was to re
sist the conscription act; I am a member of
the association ; a young man named Hadley
first spoke to me concerning . * he said it was
one of the best things ever introduced; they
commenced the meetings in different places;
many citizens joined; I saw them at the meet
ings; when a man was initiated, those that
belonged to the meeting were allowed to stay
in, and those not belonging retired; they had
signs; one was to pass the hand along the lap
pel of the coat; this was a signof recognition;
then one with the fingers, also of recognition;
they had pass-words; one was "Wolf," or
"Bear;" I would come to a house, and rap
three times; they would ask, 4 Who is `there 1"
I would give the pass-word, and they would
repeat it ; one sign was the hand on the.
Mouth, which directed quiet.; there was an
oath administered on the initiation, to sup
port the Constitution of the United States,.
and resist the conscription act; I was initiated.
in Jackson township; I saw, at Benton. Wil
liamAppleman, Johnltantz, Abraham M'Neil,
Samuel Kline, Eli M'Henry, and others I do
not remember; William Appleton was a mem
ber; I saw him initiate John Keeler; I think
Rentz was a member ; I saw him at two or
three of the secret. meetings; you could not
tell who was actually a member, except to see
him initiated; the meetings were public part
of the time and speeches were made in the
presence of visitors, on the subject of resist
ing the draft.
John Rentz was at one of the meetings to
raise money for volunteers, at which he ad
vised us to get ammunition to shoOt or kill
those individuals who would attempt to force
us into the army. The majorityat this meet
ing favored the tax, but a canvass of the town
ship resulted in a majority against it at the
next meeting. I cannot tell whether it was
on the 14th or not, but it was on Sunday,;
about the middle of August. I got to the.
meeting at Rantz's barn about eleven o'clock
in the forenoon; there were about 125 men
there then. The object was to resist the draft
and the soldiers at Bloomsburg; half of them
were armed: they put their guns away and'
organized into companies of twenty each;
Samuel Kline was selected as Captain of one
company, Jacob Shultze Captain of another,
Jeremiah Stiles of another, a stranger of a
fourth, and I was selected to command the last.
The plan was, that one companyzvas to meet
near Stillwater, another near Charles Cole
man's, another near John Keefer's, another.
along Greene Creek, between Joshua Savage's
and Keller's saw mill, the other one near
Peter Appleman's sugar camp. There were
men assigned to go to Bloomsburg to watch
the movements of the soldiers. We were to
go home and rest contented until the word
was brought back from Bloomsburg. The
first I saw of Kline after that was at Rohr
M'Henry's. They wore paying up Samuel R.
Kline's expenses to Bloomsburg. I asked
Rohr how much my share was, and he said
ten cents, which I paid. Kline said we were
to go to the mountain next morning. I met
some of thein at Ezekiel Coles', at Jackson.
The company staid there, David Crossly and
I going up to Sugar Loaf, in the mountain.
Next day we met Kline's company at their
encampment. Kline said they were about
the right distance from the road, when the
soldiers came along, to fire upon them, and
then we could run down a piece further and
fire again. On my way to James Hess' I met
Smith and. John 0. Karns hunting Minor
Smith and Thomas Smith. They stated there
was a proposal by the General that if those
drafted men would . report and .pay the three
hundred dollars it would be all right. I told
Crossly we would go down to Benton and see
about this. I came to.J. J. Stiles, and asked
. fsr
rs een me 1 should..‘pay no attention to
that; that in a very short- time there would
be another draft, and I mould have plenty. of
help. .I. saw Jacob Shultze's company at Coles'
that evening, and on Sunday morning we'
started for the mpuntain. Among the.nuinber
were Jacob Shultze, Jacob Krouse, Joel AIL
bertson, Eli M'Henry, Elias M'Henry and
John Bicker. At one time there were twenty
eight—all drafted men—in my company on
the mountain: We went there to keep out of
the way.of the soldiers, because from *hat
I could find out, they were too strong for
our forces. Matthew M'Henry, Ephraim M'-
Henry, John Fritz, John Yonks, Jacob Yo
ktim, Daniel Poust and Wm. Brink furnished
the provisions.
About twenty-four hours after I was drafted
I was in company with John Rentz. He said
he did not want me to be baffling about any
longer, but wanted me to resist the draft and
act like a man. He urged me to stand - firth
and not go over to the Abolitionists. About
a year ago, in September, Rentz told me that
they had made arrangements to lay in a sup
ply of ammunition, to be put in certain indi
viduals' hands, and to be dealt out and a
strict account kept, for he (Rentz) would have
to stand good for it. On the day before, Tues
day, the second of August, a company was
out watching a road. They needed everybody
to turn out that could to watch the roads.
Next day Abraham Hedler said it beat every
thing he had ever seen, the way they turned
out last night; that even the grey-headed men
were there; wewent to Rentz's, and from there
to Raven Creek, where we found him.
:Jere
miah Stiles put the crowd into squads. .1
think he placed three below the house and one
above.. The road was also watched. This
was for the protection of Silas • Karns, a
drafted man, who was in the house, and we
understood the soldiers were coming to search
the house for him. The Squad nearest the
house were to fire into them. But no one
came to search; Just about daybreak, Rentz
stated, that he did not think the soldiers
would be out before the last of the week, and
that we should be sure and turn out then. I
was there the Saturday night following. Two
strangers, representing themselves as desert
ers, had arrived in the crowd. Kline swore
them, and placed theni in his company.
Rentz was not there then.
The cross-examination elicited little mate
rial in addition. It wad brutal that the sol
diers were going to burn buildings and "de
stroy women and children." He did not know
positively if Rentz was a member of a com
pany, but he was armed, and to the best of
his.knowledge was a member of Stiles' coin
puny. Rifles, muskets and revolvers were the
weapons used by the companies. The guns
were owned by the citizens, and the revolvers
were purchased at Orangeville.
—Here we have a full expose of the manner
in which treason was attempted to be organ.
ized in one of the Democratic counties of Penn
sylvania. Like the organization of the great
slave-holdera' rebellion, the movement was
entirely in the hands of the Democratic lead
ers, and yet the organs of these men have
the audacity to assert that the arrest of any
one of then is a high-handed act of oppres
sion on the part of the GOvernment With'
guilt stamped upon their cheeks, they claim .
exemption from the penalties of the law they'
violate! Besides this testimony, other,
witnesses affirmed
.that prominent leading
Democrats 444 encouraged the insurgents ; of
Columbia county to revolt, with .the
tion that New Nork; had , gone. out of . the .
Union—that Chiclval4 ready to or had gene,
and that New - ;J:O#4 had' `attached 'hertielf:
to the Southern Confederacy. Indeed, it was:
established before the Court, that thb .people
in the district of country where these tiaras
actions occurred, Were taught that "the Lin
coln Government had fallen to pieces."—
When thes&witneSses were interrogated asst b::
who had thus preached to them, they dent):
erately pointed to the lawyer appearing as
counsel for the prisoner at the bar, and de
clared THESE is THE Mass! Such, tellOw
citizens, are the plans and the men on which
and whom George B. McClellan depends for
his election to the Presidency. They are the
oath-bound as well as- the armed traitors who
seek to inaugurate conflict in Pennsyl
vania, to devastate its flelds,ravage the homes
of its "citizens, and Jay waste all that is now
fruiOlindiirspgrous. It is the means by
widen Georgep. : Lig cplellan is to be elected
President. It is the political machinery set
in operation by the Democratic, leaders to de
stroy the Union ! Fellow-citizens, it is for
you to decide whether these rascals shall
succeed!
The Work of Orgo.ttization
Is, we are happy to learn, going an 'well
throughout the county, and M most of the
districts our friends will be as well organized
as they ever were. In some directions, how
ever, much yet remains to be done. Go to
work, friends, :itn earnest, and leave no chance
open for reproaching yourselves with idlehess
after the election is over,

A Comma - max nTEE HANDS or A SHARPER.
r ---The Philadelphia papers contain an account
of how a Franklin county man, named Joseph
Briggs, was "taken in" by a sharper in the
Quaker city. Briggs arrived in the city on
Friday morning, early, with-the-purpose, as
he stated, of entering the United , States ser
vice. When. , at the foot of Walnut street
wharf he was met by a man named Charles
Stewart, who keeps a drinking saloon on
Almond street, who offered his services to
Mr. Briggs to see that he was properly en
listed.. Briggs was marched through the
streets by Stewart, and made to drink often.
He was finally taken to Stewart's house, where
,a breakfast was given him, From there he
was again talon to several drinking saloons,
where he ifidulged freely in intoxicating
,liquors, and - at last became insensible. Mr.
Briggs statesihat he knew nothing of , what
transpired between the time he 'becaine 'in
sensible until ie awoke from a sleep on board
of a.lressel somewhere in the Delaware river.
This was in the afternoon. When recovering
his senses he inquired of one of the crew
where the vessel was bound for, when the re
ply " to the West Indies " was given.
Awaiting a chance for escape, Mr. Briggs,
in the evening, secured a plank and threw it
overboard. Upon this he swam to the shore.
He made his way to ahouse in the neigh
borhood, where he was kindly taken care of
of, which proved to be in the town of Billings
port, N. J.
Stewart, who is alleged to.have had him en
listed, and furnished him with the liquors,
was arrested, and yesterday had a hearing at
the Central Station. Mr. Briggs stated, that
he was told (previous to his becoming insen
sible) to change his name when he was about
to.lao enlisted, in order_that.h..might —Jump
the bounty." The accused was committed to
answer.

,Account of Sheridan's
Recent Victory.
[From the Richmond Examiner, Oct. 21
Yesterday morning it was rumored that the
cannonading which occurred the previous
evening along the whole length of Grant's
lines was nothing more than a , ishotted sa
lute" in honor of another victory of Sheridan
over Early. The rumor grew as the day ad
vanced, and by nobbit assumed startling pro
portions. It was stated that a well-known
citizen,
who happened to be in Fort Gilmor
when the cannonading commenced,--• had
reached the city with the following statement:
That when the firing was at' its height, Gen.
Lee rode in haste to Fort Gilmor, dismount
ed and ascended the parapet (a very unwise
thing for General Lee to do, and very unlike
him) to discover, if possible, the meaning of
a bombardment so sudden and .unheralded.
He could make nothing of it. When the
cannonading ceased, and .the pickets of the
opposing armies resumed their accustomed
colloquies, Grant's pickets stated,ln substance,
that Sheridan had whipped Early, and taken
all his cannon, some thirty pieces.
Such was the story on the streets. The au
thorities professed to have no information
whatever on the subject, and the firing on
Grant's lines was attributed to the opening
of batteries which enfiladed our works in front
of Fort Harrison. Still the rumor grew and
gained credence by expression, until at last
the evidence from many sources was too strong
to admit a doubt that Grant's pickets had told
the truth, in part, at least. Early has been
defeated but the-disaster is not so great as
the public, unenlightened by correct informa
tion from the proper sources,'has been led to
believe.
It appears, from all that we can gather,
that ou Wednesday morning Early attacked
Sheridan, drove him two or, three miles to a
second and stronger line of Works, which we
assaulted, and would have _parried, had not
the enemy's well-trained and superior force
of cavalry. again repeated one of those flank
movements frore which we have already suf
fered so much. Early was coMpelled to re
treat with the loss of most of his artillery, and
artillery liorSei, but with comparatively , Sinall
loss of prisoners. He fell back to Fisher's
Hill, it is said, in grood order; but there is
little hope of his holding it if it be true that the
position is in itself so untenable that Jack
son always avoided it, and all his artillery is
gone.
One scout represents that Early, previous
to the flank movement of the enemy's cavalry,
captured eighteen guns, but subsequently lost
these and twelve additional pieces. It is also
said that he captured 1,200 prisoners.
In the absence of official intelligence, this
is the best account we can give of this affair.
Before going to press we shall doubtless re
ceive some authentic particulars—two whole
days after the fight occurred, and that, too,
when the telegraph reaches New Market,
which is only a few miles from Fisher's Hill
