The basis of our political system is the right •of the

Curtin% Majority.
The mrjority for Curtin, as near as we can
come to it from official returns already received,
will fall a little short of 15,000. After the free
me that was 133449 4 sou the power of the Fed
eral and State administrations, and all the
fraud that was undoubtedly practiced, we do
not think the victors have any thing to brag of,
Celebrating the Victory.
We observe that in several counties the Cur
tin men are preparing to celebrate, on a grand
scale, what they term the " Union victory."
We wish we could believe that Curtin's elec
tion is a
." Union, victory." In that case we
should attend some of the celebrations—for
" Union victory" is what we fought for, and
what we are convinced we lost.
The Call for Three Hundred Thousand
More,.
If more troops are needed to carry on the
war—and we suppose that, under the present
management of the army, they are—the volun
tary system once more adopted by the Presi
dent, all, except the extreme men, will admit
to be the proper on*. Some may doubt whether
the army can be recruited in this way, not
withstanding the extraordinary inducements
held out for enlistment, the confidence of the
country in the disposition of the administra
tion to terminate the war—except on condi
tions which at least one-half the people believe
to be wrong, and which must, of necessity, de
fer the termination to a period so remote that
the heart aches in contemplating the bloody
chapters yet to be written—having been much
shaken if not entirely lost. Still, no other sys
tem than that of voluntary.enlistmeet can ev er
be rendered acceptable to our people, and it
was an act of prudence on the part of the Presi
dent, after the complete failure of the Con.
scription to supply men, to ignore that most
odious measure of hie adMinistration and re.
turn to the voluntary system. But, if a speedy
termination of , the war is really his desire,
something mere is still required. Under the
policy which has hitherto governed the admin
istration—as we understand it—peace it seems
to us must be very remote, and a restoration,
or even reconstruction of the Union, impossi
ble. To fill up the armies le MAO an extent
as to insure the speedy suppression of armed
rebellion and prepare the public mind North
and South for reunion, we want some assn=
ranee from the President that the i'adical policy
which has hitherto prolonged the war and eta-
Uttered the hearts of the people of the two Sta
tions against each other, shall be dropped, and
the terms of the Constitution adhered toin the
final adjustment of the differences which en.
.gendered the war, and which war alone can
never heal. Such assurance, coming solemnly
from him, would be more effective than armies.
It would raise a power in support of his policy,
in both sections, which it has not yet had ;
and while it would free the path-way of our
soldiers from many obstruction!, would pre
pare the minds of the people for a. return to
fraternal relations under the old quern of gov
ernment which was so rudely and unjustifiably
broken by the guns of Moultrie and Cummings
Point tired upon Sumpter.
We have never believed, as some do, that the
rebellion can be suppressed by peace measures
alone ; but we have always believed that tee
sword should only be employed to do its neces
sary work, and should ever be accompanied by
the olive branch. To push war beyond the
point necessary to an adjustment of difficulties
is sheer, wholesale murder ; but to push it to
that extent seems, unfortunately, in the pre
sent condition of mankind, to be necessary—
and therefore to that point we have always
been in favor of waging it. We must have an
armed force to meet the armed force arrayed
against us, but this does not preclude the con
stant use of all the agencies of peace—and
while we meet with the sword those who strike
with the sword, we should be ever ready and
eager to bring the peoples who are not engaged
in the actual strife to a good understanding,
Which, with us at least, would be the readiest
way of ending the conflict and blessing the
nation once more with peace, good government
and prosperity.
While we do not agree with the following
extract from the New York ;News in all its
points, yet it seems to us to contain sentiments
which are just and proper, and entitled to re:
spectful consideration. Ina long notice of the
President's recent proclamation for 800,000
recruits, the New remarks :
46 The call for volunteers is so far an im
-prorating wpm .„ thea, gme
by eontrut it amuses the upetietteee,
and we leave •it to the s tern ori of the
future. If it 4 vettten dorm in oar destiny
that we shatAtiteddeie of our brotlitirs'
blood, bettei that . the &Ayers should kill. of
their awn accord, and that the victims ehOuld
perish by the action of their own volition.
Compulsion, beyond what is plainly traced in
the letter of the law, is in all things the an
tagonist of Republican principles, but where
it reddens the unwilling band with the stain
of Cain, and hurries hundreds of thousands
into untimely graves, it deserves not only to be
renounced by Executive proclamation, but to
be forbidden for all time by the moral edict of
civilized humanity. But, while we rejoice that
a lesser evil supplants the grosser one, the
events of the past three years have demonstra
ted the inefficiency of either to restore a sun
dered friendship. We have had proclamations
by the score, and treasure by millions has been
lavished to promote the spirit of volunteering.
Armies, whose valor and numbers have been
unprecedented, have struggled to rejoin the
broken link, but they labor not with the in
struments that God has given to his people for
such uses, and they labor in vain. As the
swords strike into the flesh, and the cannons
pour death into the serried ranks, the stubborn
will defies the murderous agency, and all the
precious lives thrown into the chasm will not
close it up. The three hundred thousand
will march to new victories or more defeats;
strongholds will crumble, cities will blaze,
soldiers will bleed, and kindred will weep for
those that fall; yet the union of hearts will
not be consummated by such a ministration,
and what other Union should freemen contem
plate ? The enemy to-day defies the Executive
proclamation at the gates of Washington. The
scene of the great struggle is nearer to the
Federal Capital than to Richmond. The baf
fled General of our vastest and most important
post confines himself per force to a precarious
defence. The proclamation may bring soldiers
to the field or it may not, but it will not bring
the enemy to terms. There is a sentiment to
be conquered that is superior to the force of
arms. The people of the south are not fitted
by descent and education to be subdued by fire
and steel. We have tried it for nearly three
years, with what success their present temper
and the present military situation attest. But
we have never tried the virtue of a word in
the spirit of reconciliation. Let us disown the
fatal Abolition purpose, and extend an open,
unarmed hand with the real essence of friendly
feeling, and the result cannot prove worse
than what the past has given, and a future of
warfare promises."
As we have already said, we have no faith
in the power of the open, unarmed hand"
alone to subdue the rebellion and restore the
Union_ What we desire is the rejection by the
administration of that mischievous radicalism
which makes peace and reunion impossible,
and the adoption of a peaky in consonance
with the Constitution, sound patriotism and
statesmanship. That is all we ask, and that
we think will speedily bring about all that thy
millions desire—the Government we had and a
people at peace and in harmony.
fL
"NEVER DESPAIR OF THE REPUBLIC."
Messrs. Editors :—Our election having resul
ted, authentically. in favor of the Abolition
ists, I aw induced to send you a communica
tion on that result, and on public affairs'
gloomy and alarming as they are, still, not
sufficient to induce us to " Despair of the Re
public."
First: as to the election in this city. The
result will not surprise any one who reflects
upon the great obstacles contended against—
namely, the whole power of the General and
State Governments—the Mint, Custom House,
City, and. Navy Yard—employing sufficient
numbers to carry an election in ordinary
times—the Contractors' League, the soldiers
and employees of the Hospitals and Provost
Guards. And in addition, remember that some
of the leaders of the people, together with our
(so-called) conservative Mayor, carrying with
him the whole police force, made a "summer
sault," heels over head into the Abolition
party, accompanied with all the preachers,
diseased with " negro on the brain," and their
folloWers, and the only (so-called) Indepen
dem" press, the Ledger, added unto them.
Why, sirs, never did th 9 Nl:secrets of the
city contend more nobly against such tremen
dous odds!
As to the rest of the State, it appears to have
been flooded with called outside voters, 9,000
coming, by their own showing, from Washing
ton alone. Prom 15,000 to 20,000 voters must
have been brought into the State, and taken by
restraint and duress to the polls; thus chang
ing the fair and legitimate result. That fair
and legitimate result would have been of in
calculable benefit to the country, by arraying
the three great States of Pennsylvania, New
York and New Jersey, containing some eight
million of people. in opposition to the destruc
tive influence of the Abolition radical faction
at Washington. But what is postponed is not
leet, jand there is no reason to despair.
Simultaneously with this result in Pennsyl
vania, comes other discouraging news. The
Army of the Potomac falling back before Lee's
army—General Rosecrans' army, after. jts de
feat, in a position scarcely tenable—the Texas
expedition moving elowly,'and with difficulty—
Charleston harbor sealed to the fleet—trade
on the Mississippi still partially obstructed—
a beaten General sent to command our troops
in the West, carrying there jealousies, quar
rels and incompetency ; and Washington main
lint a military outpost of the nation, 'reeking
with moral and political corruptions, where
the temple of " mammon " is open
.day and
night, in which stands the great idol of the
East, called ".Basson - ssrocirer," surrounded
with his worshippers, and where a citizen can
not walk the "avenue," except at the peril of
running against a contractor, gambler, briga
dier general or a contri6.and.
Now, Messrs. Editors, a plain . and sensible
citizen can collect enough patience and phi
loeephy to stand all this, because much of it is
curable, or may cure itself; but, when he
looks into the future, he finds what is far worse,
and much more to be dreaded, putting him
upon his strongest aefensive mettle, and that
is this Our elections just over have developed,
begat the frauds and dangerous influences
used, the deceptive and wicked policy of the
Abolitionists, namely, that the war is not to
be waged vigorously for the restoration of the
Union and the Constitution. This is now
clearly developed and avowed. But, on the
contrary, it is to be a long war, a war of en
durance, and a «social war."
Let us see if it is not so ! Did not General
Butler say in substance, in the Court House,
at Harrisburg, that he was opposed to the resto
ration of the Union, and his- hearers might think
him heterodox if they chose f Did not that quasi
white man, Vice President Hannibal Hamlin,
at the New York Institute, openly scoff at the
PRILADELPHIA, Oet. 19, 1863.
- ""f :tow net
Mr. 8 tskylkase, a cabinet minister,. pro
claim .dOsti, on the 12th inst., that it
- was to: tt4o a - of endurance, having , for its end
the destruction of the social fabric of the States
South of us I Now, this has been long known
by some, suspected by many, and often avow
ed ; but when we consider gego and what these
men are who now avow it, can there be a doubt
left that it is the patented policy of the ad
ministration, and the issue to be made at the
next Presidential election, now not far distant?
That issue is simply this : Is the war to be
carried on vigorously for the restoration of the
Union and the vindication of the Constitution upon
which it rests, or not? And farther, is this
great question to be decided fairly by the ballot
box, or by the whole corrupting money influ•
ence and threatening military power of the
government, using the large armies in the field
as a ponderous political machine against the
friends of the Constitution and the Union ?
If it has come to this, the Democracy may
fearlessly take that issue with the adminis
tration without despairing of the Republic.

WASHINGTON, Oct; 20.—A rumor has been
current for some days that Gen. Rosecrans is
to be relieved from the command of the Army
of the emmberlind, but inquiry of those pre
sumed to be best informed on the subject has
failed to elicit either an affirmative or negative
response.
The government has official advices from
Gen. Burnsitie, stating that his marches and
victories in Eastern Tennessee and South
western Virginia are satisfactory ; he says in
almost every ease the enemy has been whipped
and routed. Gen. Burnside declares that
there is not a more loyal people living than he
found in East Tennessee. •
FREIGHT DESTROYED
UTICA, N. Y., Oct. 20.—Seven ear loads of
freight, chiefly general merchandize, were de

FunicoLA
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.—1 t is understood that
official information was received to-day, stating
that our loss by the rebel attack on Charles
town, Va., yesterday, was not more than 150
men. Assuming this to be true, accounts
from that quarter have been exaggerated.
Accounts from the Army of the Potomac
say that there are, no tidings of Lee's where
abouts, as he has recently materially changed
his positions. Such dispositions have been
made of our own army as will meet all contin
gencies.
Heavy firing of artillery was for an hour or
two heard this morning in the direction of
Manassas.
Special dispatch to the New York Wo Id.
WASHIONTON, October 19.—There is but one
item of real fact to-day from the front, among
rumors without number, and that is, Lee's
army has entirely fallen back from Bul Run,
not even a picket being in sight.
General Sickles was so confident that an en
gagement was not probable that he came in
to-day, there being in truth no rebels on A!eade's
front to fight. Whither they have gene a
matter of speculation attained only by a few
brief facts. Our cavalry have discovered that
one column of the enemy moved northward, as
if going through Thoroughfare or Aldie Gaps
into Loudon Valley, but whether their final
destination is the Shenandoah Valley or a sim
ple march around back to Culpepper again is
yet to be determined. The enemy on their
right flanks are not this side of Bristow Sta
tion, and it was believed at Bull Run this af
ternoon that we would occupy Bealton Station,
just this side of the Rappahannock, by to-mor
row morning.
The War Department hag tio confirmation of
the rumors that a force of rebels have appeared
in the Shenandoah Valley, and have no intelli
gence that the Ninth Maryland regiment was
captured by the rebels at Charlestown, Virginia,
yesterday, as widely published here to-day;
nor that any rebels are on the upper Potomac.
So far from the statement being true that
Meade's army had retreated to Washington,
the simple fact is, that it holds positions to
night that twenty hours since were in posses
sion of the rebel forces. One solution of Lee's
retrograde movement is given in our army, to
the effect that 'his seven days' rations gave
out on Saturday, and that failing to capture
some of Meade's trains and to get his own
trains •up, he has been obliged to fall back for
supplies.

CHARLESTON, October 14.—There was heavy
and rapid firing yesterday afternoon and du
ring last night, chiefly from James Island
works and Fort Moultrie. The statement from
prisoners of a new battery between Gregg and
Wagner is believed to be false.
The weather this morning ie dark and
stormy.
There has been little firing to-day.
CEIABLZSTON t Oct. 15.—Tbe firing from our
batteries continues as usual. The enemy
makes no reply, but continues working. An
additional number of transports is expected at
Folly Inlet.
Two war vessels have arrived off the bar and
signified a, desire to - communicate with the
French consul, who will probably visit them
to-morrow.
Captain Hernley, with seven men in a small
beat, were drowned in the harbor this morn

Firing from our batteries continues slowly,
with no response from the enemy.
CHARLESTON, Oct. 16.—This is the ninety
eighth day of the siege. A grand review of
troops by Gen. Beauregard will take place to
day. There is nothing new this morning.
FORTRESS MoNROE, Oct. 17.—The United

THE MUTINY OF THE GEORGIA MILITIA
-60 KILLED AND 200 WOUNDED.
The report of , a mutiny in Bragg's army
seems to be fully confirmed by late intelli
gence.- A letter from Chattanooga to the Cin
cinnati Commercial says ;
"It was occasioned by the refusal of the
Georgia militia to remain longer in active
service. They represented that they had vol
unteered only for the battle of Chickamauga,
to drive the Federal troops out of their own
State, and that done, were unwilling to be re
tained in the Confederate service. Bragg re
fused to grant them permission to return home,
and they stacked arms, whereupon a division
of Longstreet's men were ordered into
Even this did not intimidate the valiant mili
tia. They were resolute, and were not to be
coerced in any such style. Finding no virtue
in threats, Longstreet's men were ordered to
Arc upon the mutineers, and discharged seve
ral volleys at them, with what effect we have
not been able to definitely ascertain. We have
it on the authority of deserters that sixty
were killed and two hundred badly wounded."
