more perfectly adjusts itself to the condition of
all classes.
The bounties which will be paid by the Gen
eral Government are extremely liberal and
much larger than those heretofore given. They
will aid the volunteers who shall enter the ser
vioe to make immediate and ample provision
for those dependent upon them_
I expect all classes of our citizens to assist
in recruiting the volunteers called for from
this State by their influence and by liberal
contributions. I call upon all State officers to
give every assistance in their power to pro
mote enlistments into our armies, and thus
save our citizens from the inequalities, irrits
tione and sufferings of the draft, and at the
same time animate our soldiers by an exhibi
tion of sympathy and patriotic devotion, and
give strength to our armies in their battles for
the preservation of the Union.

The Right Spirit.
We are pleased to see by our exchanges that
the noble Democracy Of the State, although
they deeply regret the result of the election,
are by no means disheartened. Everywhere
the cry is, we must not cease to labor for the
country, we must keep up our organizations
and persevere in the good work ; after a while
we shall succeed ; the people cannot always
be deluded, and when reaction takes place
victory will crown our efforts, and it may not,
even then, be too late to steer the strained and
laboring vessel safely into harbor. This is the
right spirit, and it is so universal as to be en
couraging. Never let your zeal in a good cause
fag, fellow Democrats—our duty is to act and
hope—to keep the Has of battle—to ti pick
cur flints and try again."
Several Generals Relieved.
There is quite a stir among the officers of
the Army of the Cumberland—that is, several
of them have been stirred up by the I. long
pole" of the War Department, for what reasons
Mr. Stanton will probably inform the public
when he has more leisure. Gen. Rosecrans
has been superseded in the command of the
Army of the Cumberland by Gen. Grant, Gen_
Thomas for the present commanding the army
at Chattanooga. Gene. M'Cook, of Ohio, Crit
tenden, of Kentucky, and Negley, of Pennsyl ,
van* have been relieved of command, and or
dered to report to the Department from Cin
cinnati, preliminary to an investigation before
a Court of Inquiry, or trial before a Court
martial. It comes out at last, as we stated at
the time of the occurrence, that our troops
were badly beaten in the battles near Chatta
nooga, and the administration are picking out
victims to immolate for their own blunders.
They have pitched upon Rosecrans, M'Cook,
Crittenden and Begley, but if ever a fair trial
is given these officers, and the results of the
investigation made public, we are confident
that the adminititraiinit, and not the Generals
selected as scape-goats, will be found to have
been the cause of the disastrous results of the
battles of Chickamauga.
M'Clellan, Buell and Porter have already
fallen—now Roseanne and his fellow otricers
are to be tried—what sacrifice will Messrs.
Stanton and Halleck next require to atone for
their own sins ?
The New RequislUon.
Wo neither expect nor desire to escape the
calumny of the party in power by anything we
may say or do. In fact, we rather esteem it
an honor, a high tribute to our patriotism, to
be branded as traitor by a set of men whose
actions prove them to be enemies of republican
institutions and of their country. Such being
our opinion, we trust that they will abate no
thing of their abuse of ns, or the party in con
cert with whom we act, for expressing the hope
that the call of the President for 300,000 more
troops by voluntary
enlistment may be prompt
ly responded to, and the quota of Pennsylva
nia, which will probably be from 40,000 to
60,000, furnished within the designated time.
For the honor of the Old Keystone let this
be so. We all desire to see the war terminated
in the shortest possible time; and if the ad
ministration have the slightest desire to bring
it to a Speedy conclusion, they can do so if
the force now asked for is promptly furnished.
Let us test at once their sincerity and capacity
by giving them the means they require. If
t h ey f e u, with this new force added to that
already in the field, to put down armed rebel
iev, peace, and reunite, under the
terms of the Constitution, the dissevered sec
tions of the country, they will certainly not:
have the effront . ry to ask for fresh armies, or
be absurd enough to reassert their ability to
administer the Government. This call, cheer
fully and promptly responded to, their failure
to accomplish speedily and faithfully the duty
that it will impose upon them of crushing
armed rebellion and ft et , Oring peace and unity,
will at last open the eyes of the people to their
imbecility or infidelity, and seal their practi
cal death warrant.
We do not ask the people of Pennsylvania to
trust them, but to try them. Let us do our duty
and exact from them the performance of theirs.
Let the quota of the State be furnished and
the responsibility of improving or abusing the
last opportunity rest upon the President, his
administration, and his party.
A Word to the Majority.
We have piped unto you, and ye have not
danced ; we have mourned unto you, end ye
have not lamented."
Throughout the whole contest, which has
ended, as we believe, disastrously to the in
terests
of the country, we have endeavored
to state facts, as warnings to the people, and
inculcate right doctrines as their guide. We
have told them how and upon what principles
our republican institutions were founded ; the
reasons which influenced our fathers in ad
justing as they did the checks and balances of
power; and warned them against deviations
from or infringements of the provisions of the
Constitution, as dangerous to their liberties
and happiness_ We have, time and again, ee
sured them that the policy indicated by the
declarations and acts of the Federal adminis
tration, was a policy tending to anarchy and
destruction. We have proved to them that
their dearest rights had been trampled upen,
and that soon their prosperity must. be crippled
by taxation such as no people were ever before
burdened with ; and we have endeavored to
convince them that the existing war, as now
conducted, was no nearer a close than it was
before the first battle was fought ; that the
present administration was incapable, under
118 avowed policy, of conducting it to a happy
termination, and that, in short, the nation was
trembling on the verge of bankruptcy and
ruin, without hope of any salvation but such
questionable relief as despotism—clearly the
aim of every act of the administration—might
bestow. We have done more. We have poin
ted out the way in which much of this heavy
present and prospective burden might be aver
ted, and the country, though shattered, saved
from destruction, and finally restored to liber
ty, union and prosperity. From all we have
said during this long and embittered cam
paign, we have not one word to take back.
What we uttered we believed and still believe,
and await, in certainty of their accomplish
ment, the fulfilment of all our predictions.
The Democratic party—the majority of the
legal voters of the State—believing as we did
acted also as we did. They had faith in their
principles, and that faith led them to make a
mighty effort to save the country. All that
could have been done with the wisdom and
power at their command was done. But the
effort failed ; they were overcome in the con
test, and the ruling power, throne , the instru
mentality of coercion, fraud, and corruption,
boasts to-day of victory; a victory from which
we anticipate nothing but evil. To those who
participated in the achievement of this triumph
of error over truth, wrong over right, fraud
over honesty, and despotism over liberty, We
have but to say, upon your heads be the con
sequences; we wash our hands of all guilt;
we have done our best to avert the calamity ;
"We have piped unto you, and ye have not
danced ; we have mourned unto you, and ye
have not lamented."
NEWS OF THE DAY.
BY TELEGRAPH.
FROM EUROPE.
SEIZURE OF A REBEL RAM BY THE BRITISH GOV-
ttIXIVENT, &C., &C.
Nsw Tonic, October 21.—The Royal mail
steamship Scotia, from Liverpool on the
10th via. Queenstown on the 11th inst., arrived
at this port this morning.
On the 9th inst. the officers of the English
Government formally seized one of the rams
being built by the Messrs. Laird, on the Mer
sey, and supposed to be intended for the rebel
Government. Another authority says that
they have both been seized. It is not known
what additional evidence had been procured to
induce this step.
It is stated that the rebel Government has
resolved not to grant clearances to blockade
runners, except on condition of their taking
one third of their outward cargo on Govern
ment account. It is also reported that an at
tempt was being made to effect the prohibition
of the exportation of cotton on private account,
except such as is pledged to the holders of the
Confederate loan.
The - Globe states that the seizures of the
rams will bring the whole subject forward for
judgment, and adds that it will be intolerable
if countries without ports should be allowed to
possess fleets.
LINTKPOOL, October 10.—A Constantinople
telegram says that the Porte offers to buy the
steam rams building in the Mersey. Earl
Russell was said to be in favor of this solution
of the difficulty.
The London Times considers that the details
of the battle of Chickamauga establish the total
defeat of Rosecrans, and charges the Federal
Government with keeping back the news.
The Archbishop of Dahlia and Mrs. Folk
loupe, the novelist, are dead ; Lord Lyndhurst
continues in a precarious condition.
The Polish and Mexican questions are un
changed.
LIVERPOOL, October 11.—The Paris Bourse
is heavy.
The latest political news is unimportant.
The Paris correspondent of the London Times
says that the people do not see in Maximil
lian's reply to the Mexican deputation any
assurance that a monarchy will be as rapidly
or easily established as desirable. They even
go further and look on the answer as a civil
'dual rather thqn as an acceptance, inasmuch
as he asks conditions that itwill be difficult to
satisfy.
FROM HAVANA AND ST, DOMINGO
New Youx, Oct. 21.—The steamer Creole,
from Havana on the 16th, has arrived. Among

arrived at Havana, and it is rumored that he
died of yellow fever.
St. Domingo dates of the 12th say that it is
possible that the Island will have to be aban
doned by the Spaniards. Porto Plata has been
burnt by the rebels, who had established a gov
ernmet at Caballeros. General Rivera is re
ported to be at. Porto Plata with 1,200 men, in
an entrenched camp, with plenty of provisions

A BATTLE -OFFICIAL DISPATCH
KNOXVILLE, Oct. 17.—Maj. Gen. H. W. Hal
leek, General-in-Chief: On the Bth instant the
enemy held down as far as Blue Springs, and
it cavalry brigade of ours held Bull's Gap, sup
ported by a small body of infantry at Morris
town. I accordingly dispatched a brigade of
cavalry around by Rodgersville, to intercept
the enemy's retreat, and with a considerable
force of infantry and artillery moved to Bull's
Gap on Saturday. On the 10th I advanced a
cavalry brigade to Blue Springs, where they
found the enemy strongly posted, and offering
a stubborn resistance. The skirmishing con
tinued till the arrival of the infantry, at about
e'clock, a. m., when I sent in a division of
infantry, who charged and cleared the woods
gallantly, and drove the enemy in confusion
till dark. During the night the enemy retreated
quietly, leaving their dead to the field, and
most of their wounded in our hands. We
pursued them in the morning with infantry and
cavalry. The intercepting force met them at
Henderson's, but owing to some misunder
standing withdrew and allowed them to pass
with only a slight check. The pursuit was
continued till evening, when I withdrew most
of my infantry and returned to this place.—
General Shackleford, with his cavalry and a
brigade of infantry, continued the pursuit, the
enemy making a stand at every important po
sition, but he has driven them completely from
the State, and captured the fort at Zollicoffer,
burning the large railroad bridge at that place
and five other bridges, and destroying three
locomotives and about thirty-five cars His
advance is now ten miles beyond Bristol. Our
loss at Blue Springs and in the pursuit, was

enemy was considerably greater. About 150
prisoners were taken,

rifles and seventy-fire prisoners. Tho town
was afterwards burned.

MID
Dispat h to the Chicago Tribune
CINCINNATI, October 18.—Exciting news is
current here to-night to the effect that large
rebel forces are supposed to be in Wyandotte
county, Va., making their way to Ohio, intend
ing to strike in a north or northeasterly direc
tion. The forces are under command of Gen.
Buckner, and. are the same that were driven
out of Cumberland Gep and Knoxville by
Burnside. It will be remembered that Burn
side in pursuing Buckner to Jonesboro', lost
track of him, and supposed that he had gone
farther south. In this he was mistaken, if we
judge by the present rumors. They are en
deavoring to gtt into Ohio by way of Wyan
dotte or Wheeling.
In view of this alarming state of things, Ad
jutant General Hill has to-night issued orders
to the oorutuandante of all volunteer militia, to
know the exact number of men that can be
got into readiness at an hour's notice, and
the condition of their arms and accoutre

The force of the rebels is not known, but is
supposed to be about 20,000—the same number
they had at Cumberland Gap.

PROPOSAL TO RAISE A REGIMENT OF SHARP.,
SHOOTERS
Col. W. S. Rowland, of New York, who is
well known in connection with the organiza

THE INQUIRY INTO COTTON SPECULATIONS
The report of the M'Dowell commission of
inquiry into the Cotton speculations of military
officers in the West still sleeps in the War De
partment. There is good authority for saying
that at least one general and a very large num.
ber of field and line officers are shown in an
unenviable light by the report.
IMPORTANT RECRUITING REGULATIONS
The following regulations, approved by the
Secretary of War, are being promulgated by
the Provost Marshal General:
District Agents are to be appointed by the
Provost Marshal General to arrest deserters and
procure recruits.
$3O reward will be paid for the apprehension
and delivery of a deserter.
$25 premium will be paid to the agents for
each accepted recruit presented by them, who
has served in the army at least nine months,
and been honorably dietharged for other cause
than disability.
$l5 premium will be paid for all other accep
ted recruits.
The money received from drafted persons as
an exemption from service shall constitute a
substitute fund for the payment of premiums
and bounty to recruits.
The total amount of bounty to be paid to
each recruit is $402, of which he will receive
$75 cash before leaving the general rendez
vous. The balance will be paid to him by in
stalments according to existing regulations.
The monthly compensation of soldiers en
listed under this order will be at the following
rates :
If continued in the service three years, vete
ran volunteers $24 ; other volunteers, not vete
ran, $2! 30.
If discharged at the end of two years
veteran, $2O 70; other volunteers, $25.50.
If honorably mustered out in less then two
years, the monthly rate of compensation will
be increased as the term of service is dimin
ished.
If the government shall not require these
troops for the full term of three years, and
they shall be honorably mustered out before
the expiration of their term of enlistment,
they shall receive the 'whole amount of bounty
remaining unpaid the same as if the full term
had been served. Legal heirs of recruits who
die in the IfTViVO, shell be entitled to the whole
bounty remaining unpaid at the time of the
soldier's death.
Any person practicing or attempting to prac
tice fraud or imposition either on the govern
ment or the recruit shall be summarily deult
with by a military commission.
Men enlisted under this order will be as
signed to old regiments.
