How to Raise the 46 300,000 More P$
It is said that the highest lodge of Loyal
Leaguers in each county in the State has a
book in which are written the names of all the
- voters in the county, each name marked "loy
al," "disloyal" or "doubtful," as the case may
be.
Assuming the facts stated to be true, we
suggest to the President, or Secretary of War,
to issue an order directing the president of
each lodge, having a list such as we have men
tioned, to select, immediately from the "loyal"
names, if they are numerous enough, and if
not, then whatever may be lacking from the
" doubtful!' names, the quota of each county
under the State apportionment, and send them
at once to camp to be mustered into the
service. This is the most expeditions method
of filling the requisition we can think of.—
Of course those known to be "disloyal"—Cop
perheads, Democrats, and such like sympathi
zers with secession—are not wanted in the
army, but might, by any other method, while
they could not possibly by this, be selected.
The designation in the books having been af
fixedto each name, we are bound to believe,
after due scrutiny, the army could be kept
free from the contamination of disloyalty by
this mode of draft. There would be no ene
mies in the new army—no breeders of disaf
fection or mutiny in the camp—no rebels at
heart, seeking every opportunity to commtmi
eate with the enemy ; and, as soon as organ
ized into companies, regiments, divisions, ,te.,
the men might- be marched against the enemy
with full confidence in their integrity and
courage. The "spotted" men being all left at
home, under the watchful eyes of the League,
there - would be no danger of a "fire in the
rear," and the 300,000 loyalists, properly offi
cered, might be hurled against Richmond, or
any other rebel stronghold, on the first fair
day between this and the middle of January at
the farthest, with the almost certainty of its
capture.
We are in right down earnest, and beseeeh
the President not to treat lightly our sugges
tion. By all means let our method be adopted,
and the Loyal Leaguers furnish the required
309,000 "loyal" men to "crush the rebellion"
and "subjugate" the South.
A Radical Movement.
The destractives are at work. The elements
of radicalism are in motion. We are even
now—unless the hand of Providence or wise
human agencies should arrest the movements
visible throughout the country—at " the be
ginning of the end."
The signs in the east, as they appear through
the outgivings of Sumner and his school, are
ominous of a future compared with which all
the dread work of the past has been peaceful
and harmonious. But the signs in the west
are still more ominous of evil, foreshadowing
present as well as future calamity.
The extremists of Kansas and Missouri—
the Lanes and Jennisons of the former, and the
Browns, Blows, M'Clurgs, lloyds and Loans,
of Missouri, backed by the leaders of the radi
cal Teutonic element, Frederick Moench and
Emil Pretorins—not satisfied with the mischief
they have done in their own sections, are ma
king preparations to spread their infernal
heresies, and inoculate the whole people with
their bloody dogmas. These Jacobins, com
pared with whom the Thugs of India are inno
cents, address the people with the torch in one
hand and the knife in the other, and proclaim
their horrid doctrine of death and destruction
with a boldness which should arouse universal
indignation and put the civil and military au
thorities of the nation to shame. They laugh
at the law and defy the ministers of justice.
Through their agency Kansas has been made a
scene of blood and whole counties on the wes
tern border of Missouri have been depopulated.
Murder has stalked abroad red-banded, in that
doomed section, and not an arm has been lifted
9r an avenger appeared i to check or punish.
Now they propose to extend their operations .
—to approach the east with their hellish ma
chinery, and BM it in motion. They have issued
a call for a mass convention of the "friends of
freedom residing in entire slave States"—that is
radical, bloody-ralnded and hie od-stainedAboli
tionists like themselves—to meet at Louisville,
'Kentucky, on the Bth of January next, for the
purpose of propagating their doctrines, spread--
ing the consuming fires they have kindled in
the west, and involving the entire north and
the loyal Southern States in the same troubles
that exist on the confines, or rather over a
large portion of Missouri and Kansas.
We trust that the career of these villains
may, by some means, be soon arrested; and, if
we do not mistake the temper of the people of
Kentucky, they will—should they persist in
making the attempt which they propose—meet
with a reception which will be anything but
pleasant to them.
On the subject of the proposed convention
we quote from the Louisville Journal:
Its purpose, says that paper, is nothing
more or less than to kindle in Kentucky, as
yet the abode of comparative peace and unity,
those desolating fires of intestine strife which
now burn so fiercely in Missouri, in order not
merely that the conflagration in Missouri may
be thereby augmented to a more consuming
rage, but that the institution of slavery in
every slaveholding State of the border may be
extinguished by the General Government forth
with, though extinguished in the blood and
tears of the fairest and the noblest of that de
voted region, and at the sacrifice of all the
principles of liberty which freemen hold most
dear. Its purpose is to consummate in Missouri
and to initiate in Kentucky the policy accord
ing to which Abolitionism is "to be the true
basis of loyalty" and conservatism is to be at
once the badge and the essence of treason. In
short, its purpose is to establish throughout
the whole slaveholding region the policy of
Jennison and of Jim Lane, who are the patron
saints of the authors of the call. What that
policy exactly is these lions of the tribe of jay
hawkers have very frankly avowed, and the
avowal may serve as an illustration of this
call, none the lees fair or clear because more
rude in expression.
At a recent meeting of the radicals in Wes
ton, Missouri, Jennison said : .
"We ask you to say to the Copperheads, de
slat. It they will not, FUT THEM TO DEATH,
if necessary. If not, I swear I'll do it for
you. We are raising a regiment. Every loyal
man will be proteoted,but every sneaking Cop
perhead sympathiser will be put to death.—
[Great cheering.] I say to Copperheads and
sympathisers. if you don't repent I'll hang you
so high your niggers can't reach your old
clothes. Decree immediate emancipation, and
you are safe. When my regimeet marches into
this or any other State, 111 say to every loyal
man, 'We'll protect you ;' and to Copperheads,
'We'll kill you.' lam here to counsel you to
remove every conservative man, on TROUBLE
cones. You'll be removed. I have 700 men.
and in a few days will be among you. We'll
stand by Platte county, but you must stand by
freedom. We ask you to clear out Copper.
heads. If you don!t, do it, we'll do it for you.
I hope these meetings will be often—that we'll
meet on the soil of Missouri often—and that
fraternal relations will soon be restored
throughout the whole State; but I warn you
[mark the conditions upon which Missouri will
be allowed to have peace] this can NEVER BE
until slavery is abolished in Missouri, and
Copperheads are converted er driven from the
State."
The meaning of the term copperhead in the
vocabulary of this demoniacal faction is thus
given by Jennison himself in the same speech:
'•Show me the man that is not a radical
emancipationist, and you'll find him either a
Copperhead or a fool."
Said Jim Lane in a speech delivered not long
ago at the capital of the nation, and reported
with all the honors of the reportorial art in the
Washington Chronicle:
"I livc in Mg of tho tout ilietnnt, ono of
the youngest, and, I think I can say, one of the
purest sisters of aIL [Applause.] There a
Copperhead is ordered to leave the State, and,
if he don't, he is shot down. [i That's the
way and applause.] The Governor of our
young State is here to-night. He brings me
word that last Saturday, I think it was,
a Copperhead was ordered to leave the city of
Leavenworth, and that, not obeying the order
promptly, before night closed he was found
with two bullet holes through his body.
[" Good !" and applause.] That is the way
that the limbs, far removed from the heart,
deal with traitors."
Continuing, he said:
"I would like to live long enough to see
every white man in South Carolina now in
hell, and the negroes inhabiting their territo
ry. [Loud applause.]"
Finally, he declared:
1 bid you God-speed in clearing out the
sympathizers with treason in the District of
Columbia. [Applause.] It would not wound
my feelings any day to find the dead bodies of
rebel sympathizers pierced with bullet-holes
in every street and alley of Washington. [Ap
plause.] No, I would regret this, for I would
not like to witness all this waste of powder and
lead_ I would rather have them hung and the
ropes saved, Let them dangle until their
stinking bodies rot and fall to the ground piece
by piece. [Laughter and applause.]"
This is the policy which the call in question
proposes to establish in Kentucky and where
ever else in the whole South the banner of the
Union is erected and upheld by the national
arms. Such is the purpose of the call. It is
in fact not only impudent and revolutionary,
but fiendish. It is a purpose fit to be conceived
only by the 414414 in ha
And it is to accomplish this purpose that the
red-handed Jacobins of Missonri have presumed
to call a convention in our our city What
force of opinion and of scorn the people of
Kentucky amidst the bewildering events of the
time may launch against this infernal step we
know not, but we know there wee a Kentucky
once that would have brooked the eternal devil
to keep his state in Louisville as easily as such
ktr 9414Vel:Itical• Certain it to that never before
•in all the past has there been a period when
such a convention would have equally threat
ened the peace and honor and welfare of Ken
tucky or would have equally merited the de
stroying blast of an indignant public opinion.
We are glad to state that this party of in
female, who have recently had their committee
at Washington for the purpose of instructing
the President in his duty, or rather of coercing
him into their views, did not succeed as well
as they expected to. He has, in a measure,
repudiated their extreme views, and if he has
back-bone enough to hold up against their di
plomacy and their threats, it. will be well for
him_ We rejoice to say this much in his favor
—bad as he has shown himself to be, (orweak,
if the term suits squeamish stomachs better,)
he has not yet fallen to the level of Lane and
Jennison and their co-laborers in the bloody
vineyard of radical Abolitionism, the bowling
Jacobins of Missouri. Sooner or later, if he
would save the country, and not die leaving
behind him a name and a memory forever in
famous, he will be forced to cut his connection
with all his present surroundings—to rejedt
Sumner and Wilson, and Wade and Stevens,
and Chandler and Greeley, and all that school
of wicked and radical men, who, although
more polished vitd genteel, are quite as
im
practicable in their statesmenship, and quite
as black-hearted as their ruffian associates of
, Kansas and Missouri. God grant that the hour
of his enlightenment be not far off.
ILLEGAL VOTING.
[Courmaniaated.]
An allegation is made with great persistenee
by the Pittsburg and Philadelphia Abolition
newspapers that there was illegal Toting in
Northampton county, charging ns with (solo
nights from New Jersey. detracting from the
good name of a county of which every Demo
crat in the State should be proud. This was
not the case in Northampton, but much more
likely to have been so in Bradford, and a few
figures from the returns go far to prove that
colonization did take place in an eminent de •
gree in this latter stronghold off Abolitionism.
Referring to the last report of the Revenue
Commissioners, it will be seen that NorthaMp
ton county is credited with 12,315 taxables—
her whole vote for Governor is 9,828—n0t vo
ting, orphans, widows, &c., 2,492. Bradford
is credited with 9,882 taxables—her whole vote
for Governor is 9,676—n0t voting, widows,
orphans, &c., 202 ! !
Non-residents, widows, orphans, &c., are
scarce in Bradford, but a fair presumption is
that a powerful infusion of persons from the
strong Abolition adjoining New York counties
were some how or other mixed in what should
have been a pure and simple Pennsylvania
fight. Banos'.

ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.
BRISK CAVALRY SKIRMISHES WITH THE REBELS.
DEATH OF MAJ. TAGGART, &C.
Oorreepondence of the N. Y. Herald.
RIADQUAILTKES, ARMY OF me POTOMAC,/
Oct, 24, 1863.
On Thursday last a portion of Gen. Gregg's
cavalry division had a skirmish with the ene
my near Fayetteville. The Second Pennsyl
vania cavalry, Col. Brinton, was principally
concerned in this fight and behaved nobly.
The rebel cavalry was discovered at a short
distance beyond Fayetteville, and the Second
Pennsylvania was sent forward to attack them.
The rebels were driven some distance, when
our cavalry encountered an infantry force, and
were compelled to fall back. In this fight the
gallant Major Taggart, of the' Second Penn
sylvania cavalry, was wounded while heading
a clfirge with a, squadron. His wound was a
severe one in the knee, requiring amputation
of the right leg. The Major was removed to
Warrenton, and died this morning.
Yesterday our forces again attacked the
enemy, and again drove their cavalry until we
encountered their infantry, In this fight the
First Maine and Second Pennsylvania cavalry
were engaged. These regiments belong to
General Gregg's cavalry division. Our losses
were slight, although the skirmishes were
brisk.
To-day portions of both Buford's and Gregg's
cavalry divisions were engaged with the rebel
cavalry and infantry, and were driven back to
Liberty, beyond Bealton Station.
The main portion of our army is lying quiet,
and there is no immediate prospect of a for
ward movement.
Thie morning the Eighth Pennsylvania OM'
airy held the right of our advanced line at
Freeman's ford, on the Rappahannock. When
the attack was made, a squadron of cavalry
was held in reserve behind the dismounted
skirmishers of each regiment. The whole;
affair reflects credit upon the officers in com
mand of our forces, while it is certain that we
inflicted considerable damage upon the enemy.
The following is a list of the casualties in

THE MUTINY OF REBEL TROOPS.
The N. Y. Herald says
The recently •reported mutiny among the
Tennessee troops in front of Chattannooga
proves to have been a very serious affair. It
appears that a whole brigade deserted to the
Union lines, and in resisting their attempt
over eight hundred men on both sides were
PLANTING APPLE ORCHARDS
We have long been under the impression,
brought to us merely by observation, that as a
rule the trees in our apple orchards are plan
ted too distantly apart. Many farmers look
upon the space nenally occupied by orchards
as almost so much waste. They say they get
so little fruit from the ground taken up by the
trees, and they cannot cultivate the orchards
as they should like, from injury to the roots,
etc., so that they are forced, on the score of
economy, to abandon apple raising. Now,
practically, an orchard should be an orchard
only. Except for grass, it should be left un
cultivated after the trees have reached four
inches in diameter. We can see no reason why
a good crop of grasses should not be continu
ously produced for a quarter or third of a cen
tury without disturbance. A top dressing of
manure, once in two or three years, we know
have produced fine fields of grass annually,
and two crops in some seasons. The trees
have little or no influence upon the crops of
grass ; indeed, if they possess any, it is in af
fording a heavier swath under the trees.
Hence. instead of setting out young orchards
80 and 35 feet apart, reduce the distance to
about 20 feet, in the quincunx form ; and if at
any time the trees should become a little
crowded, prevent it by additional pruning.—
This is our theory.
The leading purpose of an orchard should be
to obtain fruit ; next the crop that will do the
least damage to the trees. This is grass.—
Grass, however, will not only do no damage to
the apple trees, but the contrary. It keeps the
soil moist and of a uniform temperature—pro
tecting the roots in summer against heat and
drought, and in winter against the severe ef
fects of alternate thawing and freezing.
It should also be remembered, in setting out
young orchards, to get the trees as low branch
ed as possible. They will generally not grow
so high, while the low boughs will protect the
trunk against the intense rays of the sun in
the summer months, which are frequently very
injurious to the health and productiveness of
the trees.—Germantown Telegraph.
THE PENNSYLVANIA TOBACCO CROP.
In consequence of the early frost in Ken
tucky and Tennessee, and the supposed injury
to the tobacco erop,the price has risen in Louis
ville three and four dollars per hundred weight.
This will, so far, be very good news to a num
ber of farmers of Pennsylvania who have
planted larger quantities of this article the
present season than area' before. In many sec
tions of the State, so great has been the
demand for lumber to form tobacco sheds, and
for men to construct them, that the supply has
fallen quite short, and every conceivable expe
dient has had to be adopted. Whether for bet
ter or for worse, there is no question as to the
fact that Pennsylvania is about to become a
rival to Virginia in the cultivation of tobacco,
and the chief wonder seems to be why it has
been neglected so long. The high price to
which it has now advanced will, however,
make it one of the most profitable crops culti
vated in the State, and no doubt large tracts of
it will be planted in all those districts adapted
to its cultivation.
THE BURIED PAST.—On the French coast,
near the mouth of the Garonne, a town has
been discovered buried in the sand. A place
of worship hae already been excavated. Its
plan shows it to have been built near the close
of the Roman Empire. It is embellished with
paintings, which, with its sculptured choir and
capitals, are profusely adorned, and have at
tracted numerous visitors. It is believed that
it is one of the cities described by Pliny and
St;abo. The Emperor Napoleon, having pur
chased a portion of old Rome from the Pope,
commenced excavations at a large cost and
upon a large scale. Already public and pri•
uate buildings, Coins, plate, carvings and sta
tues have been released from the debris of cen
turies, which overwhelmed and hid them. The
latest discovery, on the spot where Constan
tine defeated Maxentius, (that is near Cre
mere, outside the Porta del Popoto,) is a villa ?
believed to have belonged to Calphurnia, Ctu
ear's wife. One of the conduit pipes bears
Calphurnia'sjname.
SPECIAL NOTICES.
THE GREAT 6EOI :MT.—lt is ad
mitted by all physicians that the grand secret of health
and long life lies in keeping the blood and various fluids
of the body in a high degree of fluidity. When you
feel continued pain in the head or bowel& or any con.
tinned uneasiness in any organ or other parts of the
body, you can prevent serious sickness by taking
BRANDILETiV S PILLS.
Bleeding may give momentary ease, because the blood
left will have more room. But as the body is made
from the blood and sustained by the blood, to waste
our blood is to waste our life and ruin our constitution.
But Brandreth's Pills relieve the circulation as readily
as bleeding by only taking away what it can well spare,

Mrs. Hooper, of Barnstable, Mass., was cured of Bt.
Vitus Dance, General Debility, poorness of blood and
costiveness of many years standing, by Brandreth's
Pills. The ease at length is publiehad in the Pam
phlets.
