The snarl interest on this would be $197980,000. The population of the State being three mil lions, it would require spar capita tax of $6 66 —that le, each inhabitant would have to pay yearly $6,66 to meet the interest on the debt. Again—the debt, sB3B,ooo,ooo—estimating the number of sores in the State at thirty Ma lions--would be a lien upon every acre of ELIVIN DOLLARS AND TEN CENTS. DAUPHIN amminr, with a population of fifty thousand, would be responsible for one-sixtieth of this heavy inoumbranoe. She would be held for FIVE „MILLION FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS, on which the yearly interest, to be raised by taxation, would be THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS I equal_ to $6 66 to each.inhabitant, or, estimating the taxables at 12,000, TWENTY-SEVEN DOLLARS AND SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS to each tax.payer. Bear in mind that this is the result of the figuring as the Abolitionists themet/Tes Wake it. 'When they admit a national debt of #001);- 000,0* . they admit all, the rest, because it in evitably and cannot be denied.

Watch well, at every poll window, inside and outside; the minions of Lincoln and Curtin, and if any of them are detected cheat ing, er attempting to cheat, to bribe, or to deter voters from freely exercising the elective fran ehise, hold them responsible to the law_ Freemenof Pennsylvania! the ballot box is all that is 'eft you.

The only objection hie polikioal oppo nents make to.him, is that he is a full-blooded, thoroughbred Democrat, and despises all'reg ulat kinky-halted Abolitionists. When they can say no . more "phut hun,,he must be a pretty good . ..men, and the objection they- en tertain will not be' likely to array Democrats, or even moderite Republicans, in Opposition to him. But without regard to what his political enemies say, we knew, and every one se quainted with him knows that DAZ/LRL D. BOAS is a first rate man. He is not a lawyer, to be sire, wilds opponent is, but he is what is of far more value 4o the people of Dauphin, a shrewd, sensible business man, acquainted with all their interests—and he has the honesty and the courage to stand up for them, and the perseverance and industry without which no representative can be successful.

By all means, at all hazards, are they to be main tain-el kt their integrity and the full measure of their constitutional rights—for only so is the Union to be preserved—only so is it worth preserving. It is the perfection of the prismatic colors, which blended, produce the ray of light. It is the com pleteness, of these assembled sovereignties, lacking nothing which they have not lent fir a• great Pur : pose, that makes the Union precious. This word - Union is a word of gracious omen. It implies confidence and affection—mutual support andpro teetion against external dangers. It is the chimes expression of the strongest passion of young hearts. It is the charmed circle within which the family dwells. It is man helping his fellow-man in this rugged world. It is states, perfect in themselves, confederated for mutual advantage. It is the peo ple of States, separated by lines, and interests, and institutions, and Usages, and laws, all forming one glorious nation—all moving onward to the same sublime destiny, and all instinct with a common life. Our fathers pledged their lives, their for tunes, and their Sacred honors, to form this_Union —let ours be pledged to maintain it."—Guo. W. Woonweita, July 4, 1851.

PORRBOT-8011/011A1141 841111 Ilf FRONT AND NANNY - ALI,. Oct. ifo.,...An:nitteuil degree of eiSitement prevails here today in consequence of rebel Gen. Forrest, with a fora,' of about four thousand meubted men, having made a raid on .our, line of railroad communica ting between this place and Bridgeport or Obattanoop.— , our, Forrest - may 'Mimed in interruptin communication for a few hours ; but we have not only the .force to drivis him back, but to defeat au immensely heavier force. There is no.need of fear for Gen. Itosecrane success in holding his position at Chattanoop. He is tob'etrong at that point for the .enemy, to attack him with Olrilli a show of success. To-day skirmishing has beta' going on in the neighboorhood of Murfreesboro. ' The enemy made an attempt to destroy, a Wage of considerable imporilllloo to U 4 'ia I railroad point of view. In the skirmish very few were of. wounded, and none were killed that I can hear persons are inclined to think that an engagement is going on at Chattanooga, he cause the enemy is thus operating in the reit: ~of Gen. Roseau's. But I do not coincide with them. Unita the enemy is very desperate he will not attack Chattanooga. If he does, there is every likelihood that he will , be defeated..— If he atternpie a flank movement on,that point he wffi meet a force that has been long gid well tried in the field, and General Rosecrans would be able to hold out for several days against the Movements and attacks even of a Very superior force. [The writer further expresses the opinion that Rosserans is safe in front end rear. We hope so.] ROSEMAN? SITUATION. A Washington correspondent writes as fol.. lows: «Telegraphi c communioation direct with General Rosecrans' headquarters has been established with Washington; 80 the President and General Halleck can know &Meet hourly the condition of the Situation in and about Chattanooga. It seems that the reinforcements ordered from so many quarters did not, reach General Roseman as soon as many antiOlpa ted, but he telegraphs at last that a large num ber of troops have now joined him." ONIOISSAN CR CHATTANOOGA, Sept. 25.—Thureday after noon Turchin's brigade advanced from the centre down the valley towards Ressville, one and a half miles on a reconnoisance. Rebels were found in force, and the brigade retina with the loss of three men killed in skirmish ing. They were followed within range of our batteries, and fire was opened upon them vig orously, with what effect is not known. At midnight, in the light of a full moon, and in the solemn stillness of the calmest of Autumn nights, the pickets of the centre and right were driven in, and the hour had apparently come. The enemy were held at the outer line of works, however, and after an hour of furious cannonading and musket Bring, he retired.— To-day no demonstration has been made, and everything seems to indicate that there is no coneiderable tone immediately in our front. Deserters just in report that a large force was sent south from Bragg's army yesterday, pro bably to assist in the defence of Mobile. BRAGG'S CAVALRY. From all accounts the cavalry branch of the rebel army was never in better condition than MOW. During the eight weeks preceding the Chickamauga battle they were encamped south of Rome, Ga., grooming, feeding, shoeing and exercising their stock, and recuperating their strength for hard work later in the cam paign. The strength of this force is estimated at fifteen thousand men, under command of Wheeler and Forrest. As yet they have not boa at wort on oor couyountootions, although we expect to hear from them every moment. FROM CHARLESTON REMOVAL 07 GUM 071,1110Rthl IfBADQUATITERO TO POLLY ISLAND. Nsw Yong, Oct. 6.—By the arrival of the Fulton, from Charleston Bar, intelligence has been received that, in consequence of the con tinued sinkipg of the beach on Morris Island, it was deemed expedient to remove the head quarters, the body of the troops, and the ma terial of war.
