Bishop Hopkins, Letter.
We exclude our usual variety from the first.
page, in order to make i-oom for the admirable
letter of Bishop Hopkins, of Vermont, to Bishop
Potter, of Philadelphia, towhieh we invite the
amnion of our readers.
A Bus Forgery.
The letter which the Abolition papers are
now publishing, purporting to have been writ
ten by Mr. Vallandighnm, during his firief so
journ in the South under the ban of ;the aid
ministrntion, to Go]. Inshnll, of the Bth Ala
bama. volunteers, is pronounced by Mr. V. to
be a. “forgery ;" and we believe it is. Our
readers well know that Mr. Vallnndighem is
not a. special favorite of ours, but we believe
him to be incapable of writing and; 9 letter,
undrespect him as an abler statesman than the
most exalted of his persecutors, and a. purer
patriot and more honest man than any of them.
We therefore do'him the justice to pronounce
the letter, as he says it is, “ a base forgery."
When Will the War Cease?
A momentous question, truly—who. shell
answer it? Already have we, the non-sece
ding States, mustered into the service over one
million and s qnnrter of soldiers, and on their
part the acceding States probably n full mil
lion. The history of the world records no
such contest as this has been, whether we con
sider it in relation to the numbers actually
engaged in the field. or in regard to the ques
tions involved in the contest. Two millions
and a quarter of men have been engaged in
deadly conflict—bottles have been lost and
wen—territory has been acquired and lost—
hundreds of thousands of citizen soldiers have
been slain, crippled by the miieiles of war, or
diseble‘d by sickness and disease contracted in
the field, hundreds of thousands yet confront
each other in martial array, and yet, as far as
our vision carries us, we cannot see that we
are any neaii-Zf- thétérinination of the struggle
then we were when the canon of the rebels
opened on Sumpter, or the first Union battery
opened fire on the battle field of Bull Run.
New, 300,000 more men are called for, swelling
the whole number on the Federal side to over
one million and a half, and the question natu
rally presents itself, " How many more men
will it re‘quire, and when will the war cease 1?”
In his recent interview with the clergy of
the Second Presbyterian Church, President
Lincoln expressed the wish:_that he “ weeks.
more devout man." In the depth of our heart
we wish he was; but we see no sign on his
part of repentance, and we fear he will never
be any more “ devout ” than he was when he
was sworn into ofiicc and is now. If he were
truly devout—if he had a Christian heart and
sound head, we might hope for the adoption
of wise pacificathry measurEe—hnt as it is we
cannot. Controlled by men who are neither
Christians not statesmen, he is given over to
hardness of heart, and we see nothing before
us, under the policy which he is pursuing, but
the Red Sea and the catastrophe which over.
took the hosts of Pharaoh. His is exnphsti
cully a wicked administration, guided by the
counsel of unwise and ungodly men, and those
who look for good to proceed from its measures
are gifted with a cast of mind find a depth of
penetration which we honestly confess we do
not possess. We look for no peace, for no ame
lioriation of present misery while this admin.
istration remains in power; but, on the con
trsry, the future seems full of greater evils
the.“ the pest. and Hope droops her’ pinions
and assumes the aspect of despair.
These prefatory remarks have been elicited
by the following article which we find in that
able and sound Democratic paper, the Boston
Post :
“ Were the war to cease to-morrow,” an edi
torial in the New York Tribune of Tuesday
says, h’ the great body of the American people,
North and South, respecting each other more
than ever before, would be friends within a few
months-" We think this is a correct opinion;
with the proviso. that the people of the South,
in the words just uttered by Senator Harding,
from Oregon, he allowed, molested, to “con.
trol their own domestic policy under the Con
stitution of the United States.” If, however,
the people of the North choose to give so much
heed as they have done to the hypocritical
Abolition achemers who are forever inter-med
filing, and who promise to reorganize the so
cisl labor system—the whole domestic policy
—of the South, according to Abolitton no
tiions, the friendship would soon he again bro
en.
But what is the prospect of the wet ceasing?
We suppose an analogous question is, What. is
the prospect. of aflfll release of the country
from the molign influence of ultra Abolition
schemata? Lit-‘l9 P’Oépéct, if the utterances
of the New York Tribune school he of any
worth; for we look in Vain for any receding
from radical camels and measures. The
post does not warrant much confidence in the
Tribune’s prefictious; but here is one just
node. It says, “A complete, tonefiocm ui.
mnph, or utter disastrous rout and wreck,
lies before tie—probably“ no great. distance.”
If the country endorses the radical policy
which this journal advocates, then it promises
“a. complete, beneficent triumph ;” if noa,
then ‘mmr disastrous wreck!“ Only when
we get to pure military despotism—when e
conqueror’s standing army'is e‘tmioned in the
whole South—eon the ides of the Tribune
echoelbe embodied in legislation But what
will come then 2 The words of Senator Herd
ing, of Oregon, are weighty. When the Be:
ceded States, he says, are Subjected to military
despotism. the whole country will be subject
to it. This is the simple, sober, solemn, vital
truth. Those who think or setting up the
Whiting, Sumner and Gretz Brown political
machine to work only in the South. set on e
perilous theory.
But the Tribune school, when every conside
ration of country demands that North and
South, and East and West should deal honestly
by each other, as precious blood flows so freely,
keeps up its terrible enginery to fire the North
ern heart. Now, is there a sane man here at
the North why believes that the South now so
much as dreams of imposing its system of
slave labor on the whole country ? “When is
this struggle to end ‘2” Senator Johnson says,
in' the rebel Congress. “Shall we conquer the
North? No; we have no desire to do this."—
And he speaks, he snys, when “almost every
men and women is bethed in tears and cost
down with sorrow." Does anybody think that
Senator Johnson believes he can conquer the
North? that the rebels believe they can con
qner the North 2 And yet this pestilentiel end
tressoneble Abolition concern of a New York
Tribune, hes the audacity to say, “The real
corner stone of the Confederacy is not African
slavery, but the enslavement of labor.” And
so they are fighting to enslave our free labor!
This is a miserable partisan pretext. Well
does the fiibune know that the secession lead
ere menu independence; mean if they can to
sever themselves forever from free labor; but
however it may he with the lenders, if the Tri
bune will give attention to the developments
of public opinion at the South, it may learn
that the people there desire peace on the ba
sis of submission to the Constitution. And
every day’s revelations among Republicans
show that if words are not used to deceive,
they cannot be united on the ultm Abolition
policy which Postmnster General Blair puts
on e per with Secession, and pronounces üb
,horrent to every principle on which the Union
Wes founded. , ‘

-‘ How long shall I see the standard and Juan:-
the sound of the trumpet ?”
In times of doubt and discoulhgement, when
the lowering clouds of uncertainty hang thick
and heavy about the horizon—when taxation,
immediate and eternal, states every citizen in
the face—when conscription is depleting our
land of its youth and depriving age of its sup
port—when the hopes of aflienced maidens
sink, as day by day they’witness the embarks
tion of those for when life only seems tolerap
hie—when the widow contemplates in tears
the vital responsibilities which the casualties
of war impose upon her feminine nature, why
should not our rulers, who are but the agents
selected to carefully watch over and promote
the interests of the people, pause in their fear
ful carnival of blood, and try by every device
of humanity, by every expedient of honorable
negotiation, to put an end to this mad spirit of
“Strum“: this fearful riot of devastation and
death, before the physical strength of the peo
ple and the vital powers of the country become
exhausted beyond hope 0! recovery?
Why should the exclusive contemplation of
war be the rule and peace only the exception ?
Is it no longer right to speak in behalf of hu
munity, to appeal to the common instinct of
self-preservation; or must. unceasing lumen
tatious go up to Heaven from the innocent vic
tims of sectional hate and fanatical prejudice.
to appease the appetites of a soulless few, who
are gloating over the thousands they secure at
the expense of every principle known to vir
tue, honor and religion? Too truly, I fear,
may we indulge in the apprehensions of J ere

“ For from the least of them even unto the
greatest of them, every one is given to cov
etousness, and from the prophet even unto the
priest, every one dealeth falsely.”

NEWS FROM REBEL SOURCES.
FORTBEBS Moxnon, Oct. 26.—-A lady, the
wife of an officer in the Southern army, re
cently arrived in Norfolk. lays she is from
Mobile, Ala, and that that city is threatened
by the Federal troops; they being near enough
to watch the movements of the Confederate
force in that city. The inhabitants think that
the city will soon fall into the hands of the
Federals, as the Confederates have but few
available troops there, and are resorting to
deceptive means to keep up the appearance of
alsrger force than they really have. Even
the women dress up in men's clothes and pa
rade the outskirts of the city as soldiers. If
the city is attacked no resistance will be shown
by their picket force.
' Thé Richmond Sentinel of Oct. 23d says, the
people of Richmond decided yesterday, by a.
large voted—B67v to 296—that they deem it un
adviseble to place any restriction on prices,
and the Virginia Bennie decided that there
‘ should be none. The proposition is now dead.
We submit to this decision with 'éheerfulnese,
though we believe it to be 9. great mieuke.
An order has been issued from the War De
partment to General Winder. who is in charge
of the prisoners of war at Richmond, instruct
in; him to deliver to the Federal prisoners in
his charge all the gold sent to them by their
friends from the North, as he may receive it,
but to withhold from them all U. S. Treasury
notes, as the Confederate goiernment recog
nizes no such money. He may give them an
equivalent in Southern scrip.
It is stated that some persons who have put
substitutes in the army, while they stayed at
home to make money, are alarmed at the pros
pect of the repeal of the substitute law, and
having made the wherewithal to travel, are
trying to run away to Europe. We under—
stand that numerous applications have been
made for passports; more, probably, than will
be granted. ‘
THE WAR IN VIRGINIA.
WASHINGTON, October 27.—The Star says:
No information'has been received here indica
ting that the hostile armies upon the Rappe
hannock have come into collision again; that
is, since Saturday last.
It turns out that the importance of the env
alry fight on that day, this side of the river,
has been greatly magnified.
It is the belief of nearly all military men
here that no considerable portion of Lee’s
army have recrosaed into anuier county, as
alleged, and his act of laying pontoons across
the river in the vicinity of Rappahannook Sta.-
lion was intended to facilitate the retreat.
A FIGHT AT CHEROKEE. ALA

the 24th says that on the 2154; the advance of
the Union forces moving eastward from Our—

Gen. Osterhaue was, in the advance and had

-gadea of rebel cavalry under Generals Lee and
Forrest, estimated at. from 4,000 to 6,000. '
The fight lasted for an hour, when the rebels
were driven back with severe loss. Our loss
was seven killed and thirty-seven wounded,
caused chiefly by an unfortunate mistake, by
which Lee’s cavalry, who were dressed in blue
oval-acme, were supposed to be a put of our
forces. '
The rebels am said to have very strong for

CINCINNATI. Oct. 26.—Genera1 Rosecrans
arrived in this city at about 11 o’clock this
morning, and was escorted to_ the Rome:
House by an immense crowd of citizens. He'
was enthusiastically welcomed thicugholit the

On arriving at the hotel, General Rosecrans
was introduced to the Assemblage by Judge
Stever, who said that his fellow-citizens of
Cincinnati appreciated the work he had ac
complished for his country, and assured him
of their unaheken confidence in him. While
he has never dishonored his native State, the
State has never forgotten him. Allnding to
his removal from the Army of the Cumberland,
he ssid the people would require the records
upon which that set was based to be produced.

Gen. Rosennns returned his sincere thanks
for the expression of sympathy and respect
which this public reception implied. While he
felt flattered by it, he could not forget that the
heart of the people did not go out to individuals
alone. It is the principle for which we are
contending—the struggle for national life—-
that‘produees such assemblies.
He asked the people not to forget their duty
to the Government, whatever might occur to
individuals. The question as to how he had
been used he desired to leave for time to an
swer.
“ Some friends of mine," he said, “ in New
York are very soliciteus about my health. The
Army of the Cumberland thinks I am Well
enough. and so do I. As to the quantity of
opium I have taken they will have to-eonsult
my druggist. The New York and Washington
papers have said that Generals Crittenden
and M’Cook intended to make charges against
me. They assure me that they regret ex
ceedingly that such false reports should be
started." '
Gen. Rosecrans also remarked that since the
battle of Chiekamauga he had received a letter
of approval from the President for his action
in that sfl‘air. He was satisfied that whatever
charges appeared in the Eastern papers against
him the Government was in no way respon:
sible for them. He expressed his readiness

At. the conclusion of his speech, cheers were
given for Gen. Rosecrans and the Army of the

The welcome given to Gen. Rosecranl was

WASHINGTON NE WS—THE NAVY.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26,—The Navy Depart
ment. has received information that the steam
ship De Soto, during the latter part of October,
when in Southwest Pass, received information
that a steamer had been boarded by a band of
rebels. and carried out of the river. After a.
run of thirty-five miles she was, captured. and
proved to be the Leviathan. She is a new and
very fast screw steamer, amply supplied with
coal and provisions for a. cruise, with a picked
crew. .
Captain Walker says: “I feel great satisfac

ried 011‘, some months ago, by a similar enter
prise, we soon fell upon her track, and thus
had the opportunity of witnessing the deso
lation she had spread in her path, blackening
the seas in her wake with the charred memo
rials of many fine ships. The Leviathan, with
her desperate band, has been sent to New Or
leans.”
Commodore Bell, in a communication to the
Department; deted aboard the steamship Pen.—
sacola, off New Orleans, October 6th. says:
“The steamer Tennessee {returned the day be
fore from the Rio Grande, whither she had
been despatehed with Captain Bahn, ,of the
United States Engineers, to examine the coast
of Texas. The Tennessee left the Rio Grande
on the 10th inst. On her return, 011’ the Rio
Brazos, she captured the British schooner
Friendship, loaded with munitions of War, from
Havana, and at the some time chased another
schooner, which was fired and blown up when
three miles distant from the Tennessee. The
explosion was heard at Galveston, thirty miles
distant. She was discovered to be the June.
of Nassau, New Providence.”
Lieut. Com. H. Dana, of the Cayuga. also
has been successful in deslroying, by fire. two
schooners on the coast of Louisiana. They
were loaded with powder of French manufac
ture.
Commander Rolando, of the U. S. steamer
Seminole. off Sabine Pass, has informed Com
modore Bell that the Clifton and Jackson, with
three cotton-clad steamers, were seen daily
steaming in the river there. From 311 the in
formation ho could obtain. he inferred that
every blockade runner, either from or into
Mobile, has been captured. and that the coast
of Texas will be, henceforth, the principal
theatre for blockade runners.

THE BEAT IN NEW YOBK.
Imm”, Oct. 26.—‘1‘he followigtelegl’fim
was received at. the Executive Department to
day:
Gov. Samoan: 60,378 is the correct quota.
of New York under the proclamation of the
17th of October. The quota. was subdivided
for the difi'erent divisions, and perhaps the
mistake originated in that way.
J As. B. FRY,
"Provost Marshal General.”
Gen. Fry also advises Gov. Seymour that
New York was deficient. on the 17th of Octo
ber, of 47,657 men. So that the whole num
ber of volunteers to be raised before January

A large heu- was killed in Beale township,

of Allen’s store. He dressed one hundred and

NORTHAMPTON COUNTY.
By e_ careful comparison of the returns of
the vote for Governor. thus for received, the
fact. is proven that 01d Northampton is the
banner Democratic county in the State of
Pennsylvania. Look at the figures—3,o7o
majority! Upon the some number of voles
polled can any other county equel it! Here is
an increase of six hundred on our unusual
large majority of last year. We have done
better than we ever promised—had some other
oountiesmhere large promises were made, done
as well, the result in the State would have been
for diferent—the true Union men, the De
mocracy, would not new be lamenting their
defeat.
SUSQUEHIeNA COUNTY.
OUR Concussion“ Dlstrnlc'r Swan—Amid
the general disasters of the election, the De
mocracy of the Twelfth Congressional Dis
triet have the satisfaction of knowing that
their chances of electing a Democratic member
her next fall are first rate. Here, in Susque
hanna, our vote has been increased over that
of last year by near two hundred; and it was
only by the aid of frauds. polling votes of cit
izens of other States, minors, non-residents.
and picked soldiers from the army, that the
Abolition majority is not out down at least
three hundred. in Luzerne, where a large
imported Abolition vote was polled, our major
ity is more than up to last year’s figures.—
Next year the two counties will again elect a
Congressman, and in spite of the hopesoghe
shoddy party that they could see away to act
a man of their color, the figures show that we
can again elect a Democrat to Congress by
about the majority of last year, when we beat
Grow by one thousand seven hundred and
sixty-seven votes. In fact it may as well be
understood that a white man will represent us
for the coming ten years. '
MONROE COUNTY.
Solemn—We regret to announce that Mr.
Andrew Eilenberger, of Smithfield township,
committed suicide on Tuesday evening last.
by hanging himself on a. tree in the orchard
of his brother-in-law. John Turpening, Esq.,
in Smithfield township. The deceased was
drafted about a year ago, and the consequences
thexeof made hi 3: feel troubled and melon
eholy. and it is sopposed caused this rash and
unfortunate act. Mr. Eilenberger was unmar
ried and about thirty years of age.
A Noam: AOL—We learn that Geo. Labor,
Esq., of Middle Smithfield township, aged 97
years, walked eight miles to the place of the
lost election in that township, and voted the
whole Democratic ticket. We propose nine
cheers for Mr. Labor.
CENTRE COUNTY.
Ir must be exceedingly gratifying to Gov.
Cox-tin to know that his native county that.
saw him 342 of a majority three years ago,
now gives 344 against him. Creditable to him,
isn’t it?
