of thiii debt would be
$333,000,000.
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);-

evitably and cannot be denied.
And remember that in the calculation We

It is the duty of every citizen to guaro the
purity of the ballot box. In every case' where
proof exists of violationof the-law in any re 7

be prosecuted. We admonish Democrats that it
is now more than ever incumbent on them to
attend to this—now, whew a party trusting al
together in - the protection .of Federal power,
are determined by fraud; bribery, threats, cer
!option, even force, if necessary, to- carry the
election. 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. If you permit yourselves to
be cheated, browbeaten, or driven - from that
last foothold of freedom, there will remain no
salvation for you: - '
Freemen of Pennsylvania ! the ballot box is
your last, your only hope. Guard it well,
then ; for if you permit it to be corrupted ;- if
you suffer the Abolitionists to cheat you at the
polls; or to broir-beat, or drive you thence,

We have one word now to say in reference
tom candidate for Senate,
DANIEL D. BOAS.
A better man could not, we think, have been
selected. The only objection hie polikioal oppo

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. As such a
man—so qualified—we introduce DesnaL D.
Boss to the people of Dauphin and Lebanon
counties, and tell them that if they are wise,
and want a competentand faithful represents
tire, their will'
With, these -, ,relaske we submit the whole
ticket to the people, requesting them to cote it
without a scratch; and to be sure that they
have every , name from Governor down to Au

THE UNION
"These States are glorious in their individuality,
but their collective glories are in the Union. 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.

Extract ftom the decision of Judge Wool , -
WARD sustaining the stay law passed 'by our
Legislature in .faTor of the soldier;
"Now, if" a stay' of execution for . three years
would not be' tolerated in ordinary times, did not
these circumstances constitute an emergency that
justified the pushing of legislation to the cctremest
limit of the Constitution ? No citizen - could be
blamed for volunteering. He was invoked to do so
by appeals as army as his love of country. In
the nature of things there is nothing unreasonable
in exempting a soldiei's property from execution
whilst he is absent from hog U battling for the
supremacy of the Constitution and the integrity of
the Union. And when he has not run before he
was sent, but has yielded himself up to the call of
his country, hie self-sacri f icing patriotism pleads,
trumpet-tongued, for all the indulgence from hie
creditors which the Legislature have poWer to grant.
If the term of indulgence seem long in this instance,
it was not longer than the time for which the Pre
sident and Congress demanded the soldier's ser
vices."

COMPENSATED EMANCIPATION.-If the idea of
freeing the slaves by paying their masters for
them, were not a pious, legal, and most excel-
lent notion, of course President Lincoln would
not have chosen and endorsed it.
According to the last census there were
3,953,760, slaves in the Union. It is conceded
by the Abolition press that the War Debt will
not* leitihan $2000,000,000. DlOWsupposing
there were' lour millirns of slaves, even—two
thoupand Di - wimp would pay $5OO. a piece for
them I It the. debt : hi three thousand millions,
it 'Would pay $750 a' piece for every slave.
Is it not a most unfottunate fact that Mr.
Lincoln did not propose compensated emanci
pation in his inaugural—the war would have
been avoided, and we would not have been
more in , debtothan• - we are.
But suppose We take the audited debt on the
let of July, 1868, say twelve Auizdred
Mr. Lincoln's estimated price for slaves was
$3OO each—and 4,000,000 of them would be
$1,200,000,000. Bo that according to the
President's ideas, we had audited sufficient debt
on the first' of July to buy every slave in the

not only the .force to drivis him back, but to

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.

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. Sanitary reasons would ulti
mately have made the measure necessary. The
troops will be equally available in their new
quarters for future operations against Charles

rebel batteries on James Island. The batteries
intended to. throw °Greek fire are nearly com
pleted, and reoent experiments have- shown
that it may be safely used.
