HARRISBURG, PA.
SATURDAY EVFNING, DECEMBER 2, 1864.
PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.
Under any other man than Simon Cameron,
says the Lancaster Inquirer, and with different
management than our State Committee in
augurated throughout the whole State, we
consider that M'Clellan would have carried
the State by from five to ten thousand ma
jority! The closeness of the vote shows this,
and that it waonly by the hardest fighting,
the most unceasing watchfulness, and the
proper means at General Cameron's disposal,
that has enabled us to carry Pennsylvania for
the - Union ticket. We want no better evi
dence than the foul abuse, the malignant vitu
peration and perfect torrent of charges of
fraud, that the democracy have so abundant
ly poured forth on General Cameron's devoted
hea . d, to show in what light they regard his
measures, and how they feared him person
ally. The same spirit that animates the rebels
to curse and howl at Grant, Sherman, Sheridan
and Farragut, and every other Union com
mander that hurts their cause and means to
crush out their confederacy, is manifested
both by the Pennsylvania copperhead journals
and a few sorehead Union papers. Instead of
growling at our leaders, we should all be
thankful that we gained the State at all, and
return to them the hearty thanks that their
hard fight richly merited.
John J. M'Elhone, one of the chief reporters
of the official proceedings of Congress, has pur
chased a splendid residence in Chester, Dela
ware county, Pa., where he intends hereafter
permanently to reside. There are few men of
his age, in the country, more brilliantly en
dowed or thoroughly educated. As a politir
cal writer, he is able and bold; as a man frank
and generous. Mr. M'llhone will continue to
serve as a reporter in Congress, but during the
time intervening between its sessions, will en
joy the retirement of his new home on the
Delaware.
Three of the oldest men in Tanworth, New
Hampshire, attended town meeting on the
'eighth, and all voted for Father Abraham.
Their names and ages are as follows: Mr.
Stephen G. Philbrick, aged ninety-four, walk
ed four miles to attend the meeting. He
waited until the papers came announcing the
result, took a Boston Journal, and started for
home, apparently fifteen years younger than
when he came. Mr. Henry Wiggin, ninety.
three; Mr. Wm. P. Hidden, brother of the
late Rev. Samuel Hidden, ninety-three.
At the Presidential election Lincoln carried
eight of the large cities, and M'Clellan seven.
The Lincoln cities were Boston, Philadelphia,
Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis,
Baltimore and Indianapolis. For M'Clellan
—New York, Brooklyn, Albany, New Haven'
Buffalo, Milwaukee, and Louisville.
Gen. Thomas has two men in his employ
who serve as scouts and spies at the immi
nent hazard of their lives. The rebel Gen.
Johnson has offered a reward of $50,000 for
their capture. They have been much within
the rebel lines, and often in their very camp,
but so disguised as to defy detection.
Rev. Arthur Cleveland Core, D. D., Epis
copal Bishop of Western New York; preached
a sermon in Brooklyn, a few dap ago, in
which he proposed a union of Episcopalians,
Presbyterians, Methodists, Moravians and
other sects, on the basis of the Nicene creed.
Mrs. Stephen Berry, of Machias, Maine,
cried out in her sleep, one night last week,
that some one bad cut her throat. She was
covered with blood, and on examination it
was found that a rat had bitten the side of
her neck and earseverely; The animal also
attacked a child in an adjoining room.
Gem M'Clellan is not as popular with the
Spaniards as most people imagined. The
Trenton Gazette' says John P. Stockton is
much more likely t• be elected United States
Senator from New Jersey than is Gen. M'Clel
lan.
The soldiers' vote, of Erie county, gave
Mr. Lincoln 421—adding this to the 2,768
majority on the resident:vote, we have an ag
gregate of 3,189 majority in Erie county for
the Administration.
William Beales, Esq., senior proprietor of
the Boston Post, celebrated the fiftieth anni

M'Clellan's majority in Northumberland
county, on the combined soldier and resident
vote, is officially put down at 691.
The home vote of Ohio, for' Presidential
Electors, foots up 419,819; of which Lincoln
received 224,008, and M'Clellan 195,811.
Lincoln's majority 28,197. The vote is much
heavier than for October. The entire majori
ty for Lincoln, including that cast by the
soldiers, will be about 60,000.
There are now only seven copperhead pa
pers in Maine, and three of these are appa
rently on their last loge.

The Nashville Press, the M'Clellan organ
in Tennessee, now comes out flatly for a sep

Joseph McMillen, the oldest . Mason in the

with great pomp by the Masonic order.
The Influence of the Approaching Session
of the State Legislature.
If ever there was a time in the history of
the State of Pennsylvania, when it became
the people thereof, by the aid of the press,
to watch the movements of men about to be
invested with legislative authority, that time
has now arrived. Already are combinations'
being formed, not only among individuals,
but by corporations, so to shape legisla
tion as to threaten the social prosperity as,
well as the political harmony of the Common
wealth. It is unnecessary for us to aver that
the tendency of legislation for years past has
been towards a corruption at once frightful and
disgraceful. Neither party is responsible for
this—neither party is willing to be directly con
nected with the kind of legislation referred to
—but both'are justly chargeable with lacking,
the moral force and virtue to oppose the machi
nations of individuals to use their party,
.wen
in power, for self-aggrandizement. In „both
political organizations,there are bad men ready
to resort to evil means to carry their personal
ends; men who, while thus employed, seek to
drag the party to which they belong, and the
State of which they-are citizens, to disgrace or
destruction, so that their own personal ends
are served, or their own dirty aims of plunder
made successful. It is against this class of
politicians that it becomes men of all parties
to war ; and it is to the combinations now
forming by these men, that we desire to call
the attention of our cotemporaries in all:parts.
of the Commonwealth, for the purpose of-in
teresting them in the effort to defeat the ras
cals by exposing their frauds. •
- There are now two great schemes being ar
ranged—oneof which is to take money already
in, out of the treasury, and devote it to ille
gitimate purposes; to bloat, and render still
more arrogant, what are already overgrown
corporate powers—while the other scheme
has for its object the recognition of claims
growing out of rebel raids: An effort
will be made, during the coming session
of the Legislature, to saddle on the State the
expense of paying for every fence rail burned,
every blade of provender consumed, every
grain of wheat, rye or co . *Tied witht
core
all the cattle appropriated to their use by the'
rebels during their raids into Pennsylvania.l
It is a well established principle of nations,
that, when engaged in war, no government is,
responsible to its subjects for damages sus--
tained from the blows of the enemy. Sp far
as possible, the government of each country
protects its- citizens from loss during war,
but when this protection fails the responsi-'
bility ceases, and all claims for damages'
growing out of such losses are invalid. Were
it not so, war would resolvi' itself into mere
efforts at deSolating territory and destroying
property. Belligerents would merely seek
the bankrupting of each other as the surest'
way to conquest, and nations would, in a few
campaigns, become. beggars, from their ins,-
bility to meet damages growing out Of such'
claims of individuals for losses sustained in
Ea!
It is now well established,. that a combined
effort is to'be made at the c'oniing session of
the Legislature, to recognize claims for dam
ages resulting from the operations of the
rebels in the Cumberland Valley. The men
who are expected to pay these claims, are of
those who left their homes to assist in repel,
ling the invaders, and who, by that act; madS
sacrifices of business and time involying
cost fully equal to that of the damages . sUffered
by every line out of the ten men who will
clamor at the doors of the Legislature, the
coming winter, for payment of their losses.
But, it will be argued; the burden: growing
out of the payment of such losses, will not
fall upon the State Treasury. This is a mere
subterfuge. The money to meet the pay
ment of suchniaims would ,necessarily .at
first come out of, the State Treasury, after.
which payment, the State authorities could
only look to the National Government for a.
reimbursement of the sum thus disbursed.
The question then would be brought directly
before Congress, where the discussion of a
proposition to appropriate money for such a
purpose, would striP:the subject of its local
merits. Congress, controlled by the inexora
ble law of nations in such cases, would'
promptly reject a'proposition to misapply tlie•
public money to such uses, and in the end
the entire burden of the paymmit of these
claims would fall back on the' people of
the States recognizing their validity. Bat
even suppose (which' is not likely) that Con
gress will recognize and pay such accounts.
Pennsylvania is not the only State where •
such claims exist. If they are pushed here and
recognized by the Government, every State
over which the wave of war , has • rolled;4411
render accounts for settlement until the
tion is broken down with a load of debt in
curred, not in meeting the, expense of the war:
conducted en its own. part, but in paying for
the brutality of the enemy and the cupidity of
those in our own Midst who are ever ready to
take advantage of States as well as individu
alß, if •the venture promises a pecuniary re
ward.
There are other phases in which this subject
can be viewed, than that merely of protecting
the treasuries of:the State and the Nadel', on
the score of economy. On all the issues de
signed to affect the spedy prosecution of Abe
war to a satisfactory end, a decided majority
of the people in the counties through which
the rebels raided, and in which • theSe claims
for damages exist, took *round against the
National as well as, the', State. Government.

In view of these Yignres, to leaVe ont of the
question the invalidity as well as the impaley
of such claims at thif# time, what right have •
these people to thrust their injuries on the
Union men of the State?` 'We do ribt pretend
to deny that there were many really loyal men
who suffered by these lOsiwand with whOm we
deepiy sympathize. gut this cannot change
the merits of the question. Its legel aspects
must remain the same; while its political po
sition is such that the great majority bebig
thus against those who struggled with the
Government to put an• end to the rebellion,
they have no right to ask for legislation at the
hands of a party not responsible tor the al
leged wrongs they have suffered.
—This is an important subject, and we
trust that our cotethporaries all over the Com
monwealth, will - give it the attention it de
serves. The expenses.of,the State—the bur
dens of the nation are now of colossal pro
portions. It is not: therefore, to en
courage legislation which would have a ten
dency to increase these burdens. Let us first
restore the land to peace. Let ns fait lib
erally provide for wives who have , lost bus
: bands and the children who have been de
'prived of fathers .by the haptiable fury of
treason. These how demand - the nation's
first fostering care. These have liens upon
the bounty of Commonwealths; . and until
these are lifted•from the dark shadOws which
encircle their Paths, and their hearts made
'glad by the practical evidence of l a redeemed
people's gratitude, claims for mere pecuniary
damages must be regarded , as of the least pos
sible importance. &To all such claimants, a
restored Union, a Vindicated Government and
a free home, whence all true prosperity is de
rived, must be ample remuneration for all
the losses iu a struggle from which
'they escaped with their lives. Nor is it in
keeping with the true spirit and power"of the
nation that we should .encourage the growth
and aggrandizement' of an aristocracy of corpo
rations, white we are pouring out, in crimson
torrents, our life's blood, tc;,crusit l the aristoc
racy of slavery. We allude now to the dan

DETAILS OF THE BATTLE AT FRANKLIN

NASHVILLE, Dec,' 2,-1 have received fill ac
counts of the late battle at Franklin and its
outskirts, which mild , be chronicled as.one of
the most brilliant in its , general results of the
whole war.
For three days sharp : skirmishing was kept
up during the retirement , •ofLour army from
'Duck river to Franklin, :during , which time a
multiplieity of exploits and successes resulted
to the national army:
' General Cox conducted the rearguard, and
the 20th ult. achieved a splendid victory
over the rebels at Spring Bill, while General
Wilson's cavalry gained azeries of important
auccesses s over Forrest's advance; under Roddy,
on the fik - e between Trevine.(?) and Spring
Hill.• . .
Miring the afternoon of the 30th ult. the
rebel' army sorelypirossed us, ...under Hood,
who had Cheatham'sandStewart's.corps, and
a portion of Dick Taylor% command, number
ing.* all over 22,000 , men. 1

a partion of the 4th and 23d. Corps. Were ,ena
bled to gain Franklin early in the day, whore
they threw up light breastworks, extending
from one end to the other of the curves in the
river, and behind which our entire :infantry
command took
At 4 o'clock-precisely-the-entire rebel force
made a charge, and succeeded in malting
temporary break• in our centre, commanded
by , Wagner. With characteristic impetuosity,
the soldiers of Cheathara'.ateorps dashed into
'the breastworks, co-Operatting'with an attack
ing party on their left; in: an attempt to, en
velop and destroy , our, left, , , the .W 4.. of

were they knee ' high. Vheiga l #ol4lq4 fuel
wounded three times as many as we did,
while the number of their wounded is at least
six times more than ours, most of our men
being wounded in the head, arms, and breast.
The artillery fire of the enemy was made
with great precision, but their ammunition
consisted.chiefly of shot and shell, while for
two hours immense quantities of more mur
derous missiles were hurled with fearful fury
into the rebel lines. All the attempts of the
rebels to gain a permanent advantage were
frustrated, and at dark the Federal position
was unchanged, while the rebels retired under
cover of the woods, south of the Columbus
Pike. The rebel loss, as before stated, is frilly
6,000, including over 1,000 prisoners, an unu
sual number.of which were officers- Our loss
reached a total of about 1,000.

An artillery duel was kept up till nearly
midnight, when our forces commened cross
ing the Harpeth river, bringing all our trains
and paraphernalia over in safety before day
light. The enemy then retired to Wilson,
four miles from Ibis city, at which point our
'front line confronts the enemy.
The falling back of the army is in accord
ance to the programme, and the battle at
Franklin, although one of the most brilliant
form, •was an incomplete affair, and brought
about owing to the necessity of checking the
rebel advance, and insare the safe crossing of
the river by our troops. • - -
LATER.
Nisrryrmi, Dec. 2.---Additional reports re
ceived increase the magnitude of the late vic
tory at. Franklin. Thirty stands of colors
were captured by the Union forces of General
Stanley's corps; the 49th Indiana captured
five; the'BBth Illinois three; General Reilly's
old brigade 18, and the 23d corps captured 4.
General Stanley, commanding the 4th corps,
had a very narrow escape, hating had his
horse killed under him, and was shot in the
right shoulder, the ball traversing the back,
and going out the left shoulder. He is in the
city, and 'though suffering considerably, is
still attending to duty. •
It is confirmed that Gen. Pat Cleburne, of
Tennerisee, is killed.
General Kimball, commanding the 2d Divis•
ion of General Stanly's corps, in the heat of
battle passed a rebel major general, who told
him he was mortally wounded. His men suc
ceeded in carrying off the body.
It is believed that Hood's main army is
threatening Murfreesboro, and Forrest's rebel
cavalry is making a demonstration on our
front and right flank.
Commander Fitch is here with a fleet of
iron-clads, and sufficient forces have arrived
to insure not only the safety ofliashville, but
another Union victory in case of a battle un
der any circninstances.
Military men all unite in the opinion that
Generals Stanley and Schofield conducted the
retirement from Pulaski in the face of the
enemy with admirable skill, crowning all with
the magnificent Union 'victory at. Franklin.
