Letters from the Army.
We have OU fto tWO very interesting Utters
from the Army of the Potodac, which we will
publish to-morrow. Every soldier of that
army now at home on furlough should read
these letters from fellow soldiers. One is from
the Fifth Reserve, the other from the 140th—
Both are genuine and from tried soldiers.
BIGHAM, of the Pittsburg Commercial, the
Curtin organ, exclaims:
" for true education and enlightenment.
Freemen cannot be formed without."
Very true. It is for lack of that "true edu
cation and enlightenment" that Bight= him
self is a bigot and a Blare.
Another Draft
It seems to be conceded by the Abolition
press that another draft, for $600,000 men, is .
contemplated by the administration. The N.
Y. Tribune intimates that the rumor is "prema
ture," but does not deny that it is well found
ed. This contemplated draft, if enforced, and
the men actually taken, will exhaust the entire
North of fighting inenattch we mean as would
pass examination by a surgeon. It will pro
bably be attempted soon after the termination
of the fall elections--say the latter part of
November. The able-bodied men of the coun
try may as well prepare themselves to march.
Arrested for Disloyalty.
Five persons were arrested in Baltimore on
Friday last, charged with disloyalty to the
Government. The evidence proved that the
parties went into a public house, called for
liquor, and drank the following toast : " Damn
the goose that groomed the quill that made the
pen that - wrote the Proclamation of Emancipa
tion." The only thing objectionable in the toast
as we look at it, aside from its profanity and
bad gram i d a,r, is the abuse of the wrong goose.
If the party would curse, they should have
cursed the geese that handled instead of the
one that grew the quill.
.12king aside, is it not dhigracefnl that Fed
eral officers should arrest citizens on serious
eharges for causes so- trivel ? Every day w e
read of just such arrests as the above ; and yet,
in lilts proclamation, published to-day, the
President enumerates, among other things for
which we ought to be thankful, " a large in
creaie Of 11/3111D'OX !" An " increase," we un
dertake to says which none can see except the
privileged plunderers of the nation, who, we
confess, do enjoy a very enlarged "freedom"
in their line.

more. The Democratic party, we know, is not
composed of material to be frightened by the
rattling of sheet-iron, and the bellowing of the
Aliolitioiiiitii is pea than that. Tlig
may calculate, as the Chinese liraves do, to win
the battle by noise, by the furious beating of
gongs, but like the . Chinese, they will find, in
the end, that something more than noise, more
than brag and bluster, is necessary to achieve
. .a victory over foes who are tie, cowards. In
the great cities—those duke of iniquity where
corruption, has full play andmoney is omnipo.
.tent—the "unquestioning" helots of Lincoln
and Curtin talk with great confidence, swag
ger and swear and bet their money on the
election, with all the recklessness of thieves
who know that there is more'where that came
from, and to be obtained as that was. There
—in such places—the great cities, where con
tractors, and jobbers, and money brokers, and
all kinds of Government spies, thieves and as
sassins "most do congregate"—these is where
the thunder is heard—there is where Aboli
tionism spreads itself, blows its trumpet, shouts
aloud its fended triumph—vociferates, howls
and storms.
NZ
But that is all—there, where the tempest is
raised and rages, there will it subside, without
uprooting a tree or quivering a single leaf or
blade of grass outside the brick and mortar
which mark its boundaries.
°aside the walls of these great hives of men
all is right and safe. The rural districts are
uncorrupted and incorruptible. There Democ
racy is strong, active, untiring and confident:
The voice that reaches us from the towns and
hamlets, from the hills and valleys, from the
abodes of innocence, of virtue and intelligence,
is a voice of encouragement—it comes from
the heart and it reaches the heart—it is a voice
of gladness and of cheer. Upon that we rely,
and feel that we shall not be disappoined.
The people of the country have scanned the
measures of Lincoln and Curtin, and they-con
demn them. They have suffered much already
—they know that, without a change, they will
suffer more. They feel that their liberties
have been greatly circumscribed, and are in
danger of being entirely subverted; they feel
the oppression of political peraecution and
taxation, and they are determined to throw it
off by defeating at the polls those who have
brought it upon them, and electing wise, expe
rienced, honest and safe men, who will, as
soon as possible, restore the old order of
things.
Such is the popular feeling and the popular
determination throughout the State, and know
ing this, we feel that there is yet hope for the
country. Outside the cities and large towns
the strength of the Democratic party is in
creasing daily. Moderate, reflecting men of
the Republican party are leaving it by thou
sands and flocking to the flag of Demociraey
and Union. They see that there is no other
way of saving the nation from destruction, of
terminating this bloody war and its burdens—
no other way of preserving the Oonstitutiofl
ittid republican government—and they have
pat their shoulders to the wheel and will not
eaase until they have accomplished the object
they desire. The election will be carried by
votes, not noise. Our time to crow will be
when the result is announced—when it is ►ro
claimed that Woodward and Lowrie are elected.
That will be our day of rejoicing—and then
we will shout, not before.
A Base au4 Silly Charge.
"Judge Woodward, by assuming the rebel
debt, would more than double our present
taxes."
Bo says the Pittsburg Commercial, Andrew
G. Ourtin's western organ ; so say all the Abo
lition papers in the State i taking their one
from the Commercial.
The sentence we have quoted is intended as
a direct oharge that Judge Woodward, if oleo ,
ted, will "assume the rebel debt."
A more silly charge could not be made. In
the fleet place, if we admit that Judge Woed=
ward could and would "assume the rebel debt,"
it is not true that it "would more than double
our present taxes," for, from all the official or
other information that the Commercial or we
have, the rebel debt is not by one thousand
millions as large as the Federal debt, and there
fore if it were assumed by Judge Woodward, or
by the Federal Government, or by the loyal
States, it would not "more than double" or
Oven double uour present taxes."
Giving them, then, the benefit of their charge
against Judge Woodward, and their conclusion
is false_
But the charge itself is false—and not only
false—it is silly. It shows plainly on their
part either a great lack of knowledge ? or a
recklessness of truth.
In the first place neither Judge Woodward
nor any of his friends have ever said a word
or written a line upon which took c el UV
Could for a moment be sustained.
In second place Judge Woodward could not
as Governor, even if he were inclined to do so,
"assume the rebel debt."
Neither the Constitution nor the laws of
Pennsylvania invest the Governor with such
authority. He cannot contract- or assume a
debt for the State—and certainly no one will
pretend to say that, under the Federal Consti
tution, he is clothed with power to assume a
debt for the nation.
The charge is, therefore, baseless—and if it
only reached intelligent men, might be passed
over as simply absurd. But it has Mai a
wide range ; it has circulated throughout the
State ; and as the intention of its originator
and propogators was, evidently, to deceive and
impose upon the comparatively ignorant, we
can Made it in no other light than as a base
and flagitious invention, such as honorable
men would scorn to use.
Neither Judge Woodward nor the party with
whom he is politically associated have any idea
of ever " assuming the rebel debt," nor have
they ever given the Abolition press or party
the slightest reason to charge them with such
a design.
'They could not do it if they would, nor
would they do it if they amid.
Thus we nail another Abolition calumny to
the counter.

PRESIDENTS . PROCLAMATION-26TH NOVEMBER
The following Proclamation has just been
issued;
By the President of the United States of
America t—A Proclamation.
The year that is drawihg towards its close has
been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields
and healthful skies. To these bounties, which
are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to
forget the source from which they come, others
have been added, which are of such an extra
ordinary nature that they cannot fail to pene
trate and soften the heart which is habitually
insensible to the ever watchful providence of
Almighty God.
In the midst of a civil war of unequaled
magnitude and severity, which has sometimes
reamed to provoke the aggression of foreign
states, petiAllt Ilea been preserved with all na
tions—order. has been maintained—the laws
have been respected and obeyed, and harmony
has prevailed everywhere, except in the theatre
of our military conflict, while that theatre has
been greatly contracted by the advancing
armies and navies of the Union.
Needful diversions of wealth and of strength
from the fields of peaceful industry to the na
tional defence, have not arrested the plough,
the shuttle, or the ship. The as has enlarged
the borders of our settlements, and the mines
are full of iron and coal and of the precious
metals, and have yielded even more abundant
ly than t eretofore.
Population has steadily increased, notwith
standing tho waste that has been made in the
camp, the siege and the battle field, and the
country, rejoicing in the consciousness of aug
mented strength and Vigor, is permitted to ex
pect a continuance of years, with a large in
crease of freedom. •
No human council bath devised, nor hath
any mortal hand worked out gee4t. things.
They are the gracious gifts of the Most High
God, who, while dealing with ns in anger for
our sins, has nevertheless remembered ens• in
mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper
that they should be solemnly, reverently, and
gratefully acknowledged, by the whole Ameri
can people.
I do, therefore, invite my fellow citizens in
every part of the United States, and also those
who are at sea, acid those who are sojouring in
foreign countries, to set apart and observe the
last Thursday of November next, as a day of
thanksgiving, and prayer and praise to out
beneficent Father, who dwelleth in the
Heavens- , —and I recommend that, while offer
ing up the ascriptions justly due to Him for
such singular deliverances and blessings, they
do also, with humble penitence for our per
verseness and disobedience, commend to His
tender care, all those who have become widows,
orphans, mourners, or sufferers in the lamenta
ble civil strife in which we are unavoidably en
gaged, end fervently implore the interposition
of the Almighty hand to heal the wound of the
nation, and to restore it, as soon as may be
consistent with the Divine purposes, to the full
enjoyment of peace and harmony, tranquility
and union.
la testimony whereof, I have hereunto get my
hand and caused the Seal of the United States
to be affixed.

THE GREAT BATTLE NEAR CHATTANOOGA
Lotrisvms, By., Oct. 2.--A Chattanooga
dispatch, dated the 20th ult., delayed until
this afternoon, gives us the following intelli

General Whittaker received a severe flesh
wound in the engagement of the 20th ofBep
tamber, but is still able to command his bri
gade. His loss was heavy, being about ninety
five killed, wounded and missing. All Ais staff
officers, except one, were killed. or wounded.
Whilst the brigade consisted of the 96th and
115th Illinois regiments, the 2d Michigan and
the 88th Ohio were temporarily added, aggre
gating about two hundred and eighty men,
who fought with terrifio energy and effect,
and from one o'clock in the afternoon until
night, when, aided by a second brigade of Gen.
Sherman's division, Colonel Mitchell, com
manding, the rebels were driven back with
great slaughter. Lieut. Col. S. Clark, of the
96th Illinois, and Lieut. Col. Kinsman, of the
115th Illinois, were killed.
Colonel Lenore, of General Stedman's divi

on the enemy's right wing on the 20th is sup

We have advices from the West Indies, dated
at Nassau. N. P. on the 26th of September.—
The trade from the rebel ports was still very
brisk. Ten steamers arrived at Nalsdan with
cargoes since the date of our last report. It
is worthy of note that one of these vessels left
Charleston eleven days after the surrender , of
Forte Gregg and Wagner—results which it was
supposed had completely sealed the harbor of
the rebel city against any contraband egress.
We have information that many Anglo-rebel
steamers are in the port of Wilmington § N. C.,
awaiting an opportunity to run gut. Although
several have lately been captured, still there
is but little diminution in the contrablnd trade
to that port.

ous skirmishes had taken place, in which it
was reported the rebels had been defeated.
The English steamer Union, a suspicious
looking, craft, had arrived at Havana. It was
reported that she was from St. John, N. 8., via
Nothing had been heard of the missing
Spanish steamer. Mexico, but it was hoped, as
she had three boats, that her passengers had

WASHINGTON ITEMS.
TZIN NTITATIO norm: 014TTAxooas.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—The Republican of to
night says that official dispatches of the let
inst., received to-day, represent the military
situation before Chattanooga to be as satisfac
tory as the Most hopeful could wish. Bragg
makes no advance, and does not dare do it.—
The statement in rebel papers that Gen. Burn
slde 'has retreated from .onesboro, East Ten
nessee, to Knoxville is got true.,
VIOLENT RAIN STORM.
The most violent rain storm of the season
came upon Washington this afternoon, and is
still prevailing. Laurel Bridge, on the Balti
more and . Ohio railroad, was, as usual, washed
awity, and we are without the New York mails
or newspapers to-night. This is thought by
naval officers to be the regular October hurri
cane at Charleston, which will subject our
iron•clade to the severest test of seaworthiness
yet applied to them.
NATIONAL BANKS DEPOSITORIES OF PIIPLIC MON-
131!
The Secretary of the Treasury has just per
fected regulations making National Banks de
positories of public moneys and financial
agents of the Government, and circular in
structions will at once be issued to all National
Banks, of which exactly one hundred have al
ready deposited bonds.
8001ITING OPERATIONS-
Col. Baker and his mounted rangers have
been scouting the country after guerillas.—
They last night succeeded in capturing Lieut.
Augustine, of Mooeby's band, and about forty
citizens and guerrillas beyond Vienna, who
were sent in and lodged in the Old Capitol.
CAPTURE OF HORSES BY GUERILLAS.
Yesterday • 140 horses were sent in under
guard from the front. At night, when
within three miles of Alexandria, they hal
ted, and a portion of the escort went into
town. The guerrillas, who bad evidently been
watching their movements, slipped in, took all
the horses, and made good their escape. A
force was gent after them, who have not yet
returned.
TER ISSUE OF FRACTIONAL CURRENCY
It is now hoped that the issue of fractional
currency to replace the postal currency will
commence in ten days or a fortnight. The ut
moatefforts are making to expedite matters,
the work of preparation proceeding night and
day. BetWeien 40 and 50 hydraulic presses are
put up,, butimly a few,are as yet in, use. It is
expecteittbat when he arrangements are per
fected the amount prodneed daily will not be
far froti $15,000. The vignette of the face of
the new currency is the same in design for all
denominations. it repeesents a medallion head
. of Weehingten in It faint Metall(' ring ; behind
it extends - a landscape in which the steamboat,
locomotive, &c., are introduced. Each denomi
nation is printed in a differenr oolor.
,Fives
are wood color , tens green , twenty fives purple
and fifties bright carmine. In general appear
ance the new currency is edecided improve
ment on the old.
A SOLDIER'S LETTER-READ IT.
Here is a genuine soldier's letter, written to
tir. Henry Shaffer, of Sinnemahoning. It
bears the writer's signature, which shows that
he is not ashamed or afraid to speak the truth.
This. Radice went into the service at the begin.
ning of the war a zealous Republican. He has
seen enough to convince him that his political
sentimentsewere wrong, and he has the hon
esty and nerve to renpunce them. Ohe such
letter is worth whole wagon loads of the
"manufactured to order" trash published in
the Abolition papers. He writes :
"Brother Shaffer, exhort every Democrat to
go to the polls this fall and do his duty WITH
A WILL; for on the exertions of the Democracy
depends the fate of our government. Al though
we do nbt elect a President this fall, yet we
elect a Governor, who may hold old Ann and
his Cabinet in check until we can get a Demo
cratic President re-instated. Then we may
hope that the Government will be resuscitated;
and the old Constitution will again be the su
preme law of the land. May God bless the
Democrats, and give them good success, and
may, Ahey yet succeed, in saving the govern
ment, is a sincere prayer of a soldier.
"SMITH Bnzlie.”
Noble words fitly spoken !
LET it be retnembertd that after two years'
trial the great result attained by our Abolition
rulers is wltneseed in the fact that they offer
handcuffs to white men and .shouldier straps to
negroes. Let freemen remember this fact when
tNly , are permitted to vote.—Exchave.
THERE are a good many objections to be
made to the re-election of Andy Curtin, but
the people seem to have made up their minds
that the greatest of all objections to him is
this—he ain't honest.
THE tafest “Government in the world, says
an exchange, is the one that rides from the
White House to the Soldier's Home, under "a
military escort I"
"GIVE trs A CHANGE."—This is the cry of
the people. Yes, give us a change of rutsrs.
God knows things can't go any worse. Any
change must be far the better.
FATHER Asa Attars has made the • Chicago
platform his Bible and the nigger hie God. He
has violated every principle of the Constitu
tion.
THE fl loyal" men in the revolution were
toriee. Those who want to be so extremely
" loyal " now; ain't much btter.

Brit : I was a private in Co. 7, 17th Regiment, New
York Vols. While at Harrison's Landing and on the
Rappahannock near Falmouth,' and many of the Com
pany were siek with bilious Matrixes. The Army Bur
geon did not cure us, and I was reduced to skin and
bone. Among the Company were quite a number of
members who had worked in your Laboratory at Sing
Sing. They were noesick, because they used Brand
reth's Pills. These men prevailed upon me and others
to use the Pills, and we were all cured in from two to
five days. After this our boys used Brandreth's Pills
for the typhus fever, colds, rheumatism, and in no case
did they fall to restore health•
Out of gratitude to you for my good health, I send
