The New Conscription.
It will be seen by reference to our telegraphic
columns that the President has made a call for
300,000 more troops, volunteers to be accepted
Until the that of Jrnnary next, and the balance
then found wanting to be drafted. This will
show the people how much reliance is to be
placed on Republican promises. Before the
election the Republican papers and orators
assured the people that no draft would be ne
cessary unless the Democratic party was suc
cessful. Stevens, of Lancaster, in his stump
speeches, said that it Ws party was trium
phant, arms enough would be put into the wil
ling hands of the negroes to speedily crush
the rebellion, and that no more white men
would be needed ; and yet the election returns
which announce a great Abolition triumph are
hardly footed up until a proclamation is issued
calling for 300,000 more.
But our object in alluding to the coming
CODOCriPtien was not to show the falsehood
practiced k__th n &Man warty Aug tho
late election—for that is a work of aupereto
gation—but to express a hope that before this
draft takes place, the Congress which meets in
December next,will strike from the conscription
act the odious three hundred dollar exemption
clause. .1f we meat enlarge the body-guard of
"John Brown's soul as it goes marching on," if
we must have move enslaved white men in order
to free the "eternal nigger," let the coneorip
tion at least fall upon all classes alike. Let
further guards and checks be thrown around
the enrollment and the draft; let every depart
ment of the process be conducted fairly and
justly, and then let every one upon whom its
iron hand falls be forced to go ; let not this
heavy burthen be borne by the poor man alone.
Election Frauds.
We publish below a letter from an entirely
reliable source, showing the manner in which
the &publicans carded the late election in
California. Letters reach us from various
quarters of our own State complaining of
similar atrocities, and even worse. If one
half the stories we hear of fraud and violence
and corruption are true, the elections in Coto
ber.have all been carried by means which must
bring the blush of shame to the cheek of every
honest man. -These facts should cause every
lover of freedom to pause and think. If the
people are determined to be slaves they would
save themselves much time and trouble by
having all their civil officers appointed by the
centre! despotism at Washington, instead of
going through such a mockery of an election
as was held this fall: The Democracy every
where made an earnest and manly effort to
preserve what - Is left to us of liberty and law,
and hereafter will lave the proud satisfaction
of 'knowing that they did everything in their
power to avert the new trials and sufferings
which await us in the future:
CAM:MIMI& "MOTION CARRIED NIIMTIMIDATION
AND MN MANDL
SAMMIE:INTO, CAD., Sept. 20, 1863.
EDITORS PATRIOT AND UNION :--GRNTLELMEN:
The Democracy of California were defeated
on the 2d inst., by means the most foul and
offensive to freemen. To-morrow the people
of California, if permitted to vote without
threats or fear, would, by a majority of thou
sands, put tbeirseal of condemnation upon the
Lincoln administration. In the first place, the
overland emigrants who have never before
been refused the privilege of voting were this
year denied that right, under an opinion of a
corri l ps and ignorsat Attorney General. This
deprived the Democracy of at least 8,000 votes.
The liberal rule :which hut been respected for
more than twelve years was ruthlessly set
aside, merely because it was known that nine
out of every ten of the emigrants favored the
policy of . the Democratic party. The rule,
therefore, observed was to date residence from
the date of leaving home to reside in Califor
nia, provided six months elapsed between the
day of departure for California and the elec
tion- The Democratic vote in the State is full
45,000. The emigrant Tote added would have
increased, it to 53,000 at least. From reliable
issmisatioa we are fully satisfied that by
omits of confiscation of property . and
im
prisoamept as - traitors to Government, all of
6,000 Democrats were intimidated and did not
vote. The $ l OOO added would make our vote
.59,000. We.knew of a number of precincts*
in which _there paver has been to exceed 40
legal *voters, which have returned a vote er.-
oeeding 200. In one county we have reliable
tinformation that a, part of the Loyal Leaguers
voted at three different precincts. The sol
diers voted in their respective camps, and af
terwards, as we have been assured, many of
them, in citizens' dress, voted a second time,
under an assumed name. Money—greenbacks
—were need profusely. We know of many oases
in which money was used—one in which $lOO
was paid to obtain the votes of a half• dozen
Mexican packers.
Notwithstanding all this, the Democrats are
beaten less than 16,000. Knowing that we are
not fairly beaten, we are indignant but not
diseouraged. The administration leaders, re
lying upon the complete success of the base
and corrupt means to be used, bet largely and
freely on a majority of 20,000, 25,000, or even
as high as 30,000, and our friends are now
generally flush of • cash and generally wear
new clothes at the expense of their opponents.
A/f OLD DEMOCRAT.
Radical Boasts
While the Ohio and Pennsylvania elections
were pending, some pretences of conservatism
were kept up. But no sooner had the polls
eloped, and the tidings of success come in,
than the radicals and destructives became ram
pantland insolent. Thus, in a speech to the
Republican mob of Philadelphia the night of
the election, Forney said :
You have declared in favor of the entire
policy of the Federal administration. [Cheers
and cries, "That's so."] You have declared
in favor of that much maligned and misrepre
sented draft. You have declared in favor of
the splendid financial policy of Mr. Chase.
You have declared in favor of the vigorous.
honest and intrepid management of the War
Department by Mr. Staiitob. [Applause.]
You have declared that whether in the admin
istration of the Government or out of it, no
man that belongs to the Union party shall dare
to set himself up against the Federal Govern
ment or against the policy of that party.
Whether that man be a ward politician or a
Cabinet officer, yon have, by this great vote
to-day, declared that he who is not with us is
against us. [Lend cheers.]
This is to be the interpretation of a Repub
lican victory. How do you like it, freemen of
Pennsylvania ? Yon have delared against
Seward and Blair, and every man in and out of
the Cabinet who has desired to set himself up
against radical dictation. You have declared
against every influence conservative of your
rights and independence, and must yield im
plicit obedience to the dictates of the party in
Tower. You have declared in favor of the
draft, and the draft is upon you. A call hats
just been issued for 300,000 volunteers, and if
not furnished by the first of January next, a
draft will be made to supply the deficiency.
You have declared in favor of arbitrary ar
rest, and if any of you grumble you are to be
plunged into some Federal beadle. We ask
again, how do you like it, "loyal supporters of
the administration?"

HOW THE LATE ELECTIONS KAY
SAVE THE CORIUM.
Two great Democratic States having yielded
to the illegitimate influence controlled by the
Administration, and permitted a false record
of their people's sentiment in favor of mea
sures which the masses, with fair opportunity,
would condemn, the radicals will now claim
the popular confirmation of their policy. It
must, therefore, be expected that the project
of centralisation will be pushed with renewed
vigor, and that not only a war of Abolition and
extermination will be prosecuted to the bitter
eqd, but that also the despotism which has
seemingly been accepted by the people, will
seek new and broader channels in which to
exercise its sway. The unlimited issue of
paper money, the enfranchisement of slaves,
the system of arbitrary arrests, the Conscrip
tion, the Suspension of Habeas Corpus, may
now be considered parts of the machinery by
which this Government is to be conducted, and
we wait to hear of further assumptions of ab
solute power, designed to transform the Re
public into a Dictatorship. It is not in the
nature of men who have tasted with impunity
of forbidden fruit, to deny their appetites the
luxury of satiation. Whatever usurpations a
people will permit, their rulers will not hesi
tate to practice; and successful ambition has
the peculiar instinct to avail itself of all the
stepping stones to authority ; and while it
never voluntarily recedes from a point at
tained, aspires always to ascend. Two won
derful examples have been chronicled in uni
versal history of men who turned from the al
lurements inviting them to poWer, .and their
abnegation lends a lustre to their names that
makes fouler by the contrast the selfishness of
general humanity. Hut where is the Cincin
nati's of our day, and where the Washington?
Let circumstances bring a crown within the
reach of Mr. Lincoln ; and though t like Cmsar,
he may thrice refuse it, be sure that, like
Com, his eye will fasten on it, as if he longed
to wear it, and only the dread of the retribu
tive Ides of March would hold it front his .
brows.
The people hare been ruled with an iron rod,
and they have bewed before it and permitted
their own voices to be used as the confirma
tion of their vassalage. On Tuesday last they
lost an opportunity of dieenthrallment, and al
lowed the intrigue, power and patronage of an
administration to affix the stamp of Black Re
publicanism to two great Bemooratie States.
They have given tyranny its invitation, and to
their cost it will be accepted_ Look heneefor•
ward not only for the desolations of a cruel
war, but for the destruction of State Rights,
the centralization of power,the violations of
law and liberty , that have ready been perpe
trated and not rebuked, and that, claiming
their justification in a popular verdict, will be
repeated till the masses either become familiar
with their enslavement, or stung at last to
phrenzy, appeal from the mockery of a ballot
box to revolution.
We are destined to -wade on through blood
toward the Abolition goal. It is determined
that the war proceed until the spirit of hate,
eternalized by the memory or inntiverable
battle-fields, shall build its impenetrable home
within the Southern heart, and forbid forever,
not only the Union of the notions, but their
good will as independent powers. ft 1s fired
that contractors shall grow rich and the coun
try shall grow poor ; that demagogues shall
bask in political sunalaine, and the people cower
under the frown of authority, and croudh be
fore military despots. Well, be it so. Per
hapsan all-seeing Providence has so ordained
se the serest and swiftest means of oar natiopal
redemption. Perhaps the sway of error will
be shortened by its own excesses. Perhaps
the free rein that will now be given to fanati
cism will hurry it to the precipice and launch
it to annihilation. The time must come—it is
inevitable—when the national delirium, now
at its acme, shall decline. The judgment of
the people will then prevail against the mad
ness of the hour, and the soul, at-least, of the
Republic be rescued from the ruins of its ma
terial greatness. Let the goad be driven deep;
let usurpations multiply ; let passion, violence
and fanaticism hold their carnival. Let ra
pine, bloodshed and incendiarism desolate the
homes of the South, and the iron of tyranny
be welded about the prostrate form of Northern
liberty. If we must pass that ordeal, better
endure the worst at once, and perish in the
trial or pass on to salvation. Should the ad
ministration, inflamed by the result of the
elections, dare that pitch of outrage that would
quicken l the popular apprehension and arouse
the instinct of self-preservation among the
masses, the defeats in Pennsylvania and Ohio
will have proven the sweet uses of adversity ;
and out of the cloud will have fallen the bles
sed rain that brings forth wholesome fruit.—

ARMY ,IN SAFE POSITION
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—Last night, about
eight o'clock, according to passengers from
the army, information came to Gen. Meade
that a corps of the rebel army, supposed to be
Gen. A. P. Hill's, had moved from our front in
the direction of Leesburg.
Tile Mar nays a heavy reconnoissance was
immediately started in the direction of Aldie,
the reconnoitreing party moving light, without
knapsacks, and the enemy will make little by
tkei motion should they be undertaking any
surprise game in that direction.
• There was more or less skirmishing along
the pickets eu either side, and several casual
ties are reported.
Yesterday there was skirmishing all along
the lines of our army, and some firing also. on
the old Ball Run battle field, but there was no
general engagement.
• Our army last night was in line of battle.
The whole baggage and transportation train
was sent to the rear, and the sutlers were or
dered' to Alexandria.
The skirmishing yesterday was principally
for position, sad 00 report 14 that in every in
stance Gen. Meade has succeeded in getting
the advantage.
The 192 prisoners of war captured on Wed

city last night and were committed to the Old
Capitol prison.
MOVEMENTS OF THE ENEMY
WAMIXWON, Oct. 16.—From information
received from the Army of the Potomac to
night, it appears that a body of the enemy
were seen passing southward, opposite Black.
burn's ford, last night, and our batteries
*balled them. They replied for half an hour,
and then disappeared. They made no other
demonstration yesterday.
It was rumored that one corps of the enemy

HIS LINES OF COMMUNICATION CLEARED OF THE
ENEMY'S RAIDERS. AC., AC.
CHATTAN99O4, Oct, 10, 1863.—Since the ith
no hostile demonstrations have been made by
the enemy upon our front. Their batteries on
the northeastern slope of the Lookout Moun
tain have undoubtedly been withdrawn, while
those on the left have remained silent.
Yesterday and the day before our guns on.
the left and right opened and compelled Gen.
Bragg to remove his headquarters front Mis—
sionary Ridge, and drove away the whole sig
nal corps on Lookout Mountain.
Up to noon to-day both sides have been.
quiet. On the day before , yesterday a rebel.
picket, composed of a sergeant and six men of
the Third Kentucky, deserted to us. They re-
port that the mysterious engagement within.
the rebel lines, observed from our left on the.
6th, was a fight between a brigade of Georgia,
militia and the regular troops. The former•
refused to cross the State line, and their refu
sal brought on the collision. Strange as the'
story is, it is credited at headquarters. That.
a fight took place is confirmed by hundreds of
eye-witnesses on our side.
Small parties of rebel sharpshooters have
fired for several days from the south bank of
the Tennessee upon the trains and detach-•
ments of troops moving over the road along the.
north bank to Bridgeport and Stevenson, and:
killed and wounded several men and animals. .
Dispositions have been made to drive them,
away.
The damage done to the Nashville and Ste.
venson railroad by Wheeler's cavalry has
been repaired, and trains are again running
regularly.
The rebel davalty has berm closely followed
by ours on their raid, and attacked and de
feated several times. It is now rumored to be
completely scattered through the region be
tween Duck and Elk rivers.
Yesterday another strong rebel picket, com
manded by a lieutenant, came into our lines in
a body. They report that the enemy are build
ing pontoons. This indicates an intention to
attempt to dislodge us from our present posi
tion by a Dunking movement across the river,
which will be provided against by General
Rosecrans.
There has been no communication with Gen.
Burnside for eeveral days. The public has.
been wrongly impressed as to the strategic re
lations of his command with this army. It is
serving a good purpose, but not in the manner
generally supposed in the North.
Rebel papers of the 6th and 7th contain the
farewell address of General Polk to his com
mand. He speaks of an unfortunate misun
derstanding between himself and the general
commanding the department, and claims that
.official investigation will clear his record.—
Longetreet is his successor.
The same papers have a report that Jeff.
Davis is about moving to Georgia to take com
mand of Bragg's army.
Owing to delays occasioned by the difficult
arrangement of the details of the consolida
tion of the Twentieth and Twenty-first army
corps, Gens. McCook and Crittenden were not
formally relieved until last night.
FROM WASHINGTON
/tug/a ABOARD/NG GOLD OPERATIONS CONTRA-
DICTED
WASHINGToN, Oct. 16.—1 t is reported here
that the rumor prevails in New York that the
Secretary of the Treasury has ordered a large
amount of gold to be thrown upon the market.
There is not the smallest foundation for such
a report. Mr. • Chase has not yet -returned
from Ohio, and no one here is authorized to
give such directions as to the sale of gold.—
The department has now on hand enough to
meet the accruing demands for the payment of
interest of the public debt, but it is not to be
used as a matter of speculation. These rumors
about throwing gold upon the market are manu
factured for the purposes of speculators, and
have no foundation whatever.
NOTES FOR THE TWO YEARS FIFTY MILLION LOAN.
The notes for the two years fifty million loan
of September 8, 1863, will be completed by the
Treasury Department as soon as the banks
which advanced the money decide as to their
denominations, details, &c. The designs of
the notes are selected. and the printing can be
executed expeditiously.
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Field
has sufficiently recovered from his late severe
sickness to resume his official duties.
THE PRESIDENT'S NEGRO COLONY IN HAYTI.
It will be recollected that in April last the
President made a contract with certain 'vapor'.
Bible parties for the deportation of five hundred
persons of color to an island, on the southwest
coast of Hayti, and for their colonization on
satisfactory conditions. But recently infor
mation has . reached here that these colonists
were badly provided for, and many of them
died of disease, while others fled to more de
sirable localities. The goverement, it is known,
was cautious and studious in making such ar
rangements as would conduce to their benefit.
In . pursuance of the' policy which entered into
the contract, an agent will be immediately
despatched to inquire into all the facts wire
port upon the present condition of . affairs, in
order that the President mny direct such re
medial action as shall be necessary.
Joiat MINOR BOTTS AGAIN ARRESTED DV THE RE-
EELS
. Hon. John Minor Botts, whose house near
Brandy Station was, during the occupanoy of
that section of the country by Union forces,
ranch frequented by our officers, has, since the
retreat of Gen. Meade's army, been arrested
by the rebel authorities and is held, as it is un
derstood here, as a hbatage for certain parties
heretofore arrested at Culpepper Court House
by the Union authorities. The imprudent al
lusions to Mr. Botts ty Northern newspapers
is assigned as the cause of the arrest.

Augur's staff, have arrived in town and re
sumed their duties. The remainder of the
General's staff are at New Orleans. General

GENERAL DOUBLEDAT I S MOVEMENTS.
Major General Doubleday, who was recently
ordered to the Department of the Gulf, re
mains in Washington awaiting further instruc
tions. It is rumored that he is to be assigned
to a different field.
THE PROVOST MARSHAL.
The Washington Chronicle, after repeated
denials of the statement that Colonel Baker is
to enter the field by order of the War Depart
ment, at length admits the fact. The othce of
special provost marshal of the War Depart
ment will probably be consolidated in the office
of the provost marshal general.
=LEASE OF COUNTERFEITERS OF REBEL SCRIP.
Two young men who were arrested on Sun
day last for dealing in counterfeit rebel scrip,
were released to-day, it having been eater=
tabled that they sold the scrip within the rebel
lines, and not within our own, and that was
not considered a crime to warrant their longer
incarceration.

To Horse Owners.
Dr. Sweet's Infallible Liniment far Horse
ie uurlyolcil by any, and in, all oases of Lameness, ad
sing from Sprains, Bruises or Wrenching, its effect is
magical and certain. Harness or Saddle Halls, Scratch
es Mange, . tic., it will also cure speedily. Spavin and
Ringbone may be easily prevented and cured in their
incipient stages, bat confirmed cases are beyond the
possibility of a radical cure. No case of the kind, how
ever, is so desperate or hopeless but it may be alleviated
by this Liniment, and its faithful application will al
ways remove the Lameness, and enable the horse to
travel with comparative ease.
Every horse owner should have this remedy at hand,
for its timely use at the first appearance of Lameness
will effectually prevent those formidable diseases men
tioned, to which all horses are liable, and which render
so many otherwise valuable horses nearly worthless.
