On tho other hand it is equally clear that the abolition vote in tho State is a fpuriou3 oue, got tip for tho occasion. If it is not, let then show it by going and filling up tho army which is to continue a vigorous prosecution of this war, Tho forced or fraudulent increase of tho aboli tion vote is apparent by reference to threo or four localities.

By fraud have tho usurpers stifled the voice ot the peoplo. By fraud have they usurped another lease of power.

Tin; Result, nnd How it was Atlaiucu. f Trout tho Kittauing Mentor. J To the bravo and true men of Pennsy lvania, who looked to the second Tuesday of Ocl iber as a day of redemption from a tyranny the most hateful and a corruption the mot disgraceful, tho roiiilt of thi day would Ire a most bitter disappoint ment With leaders the bravest and truest, and with an earucstuess, Fpirit and eonttaucy that neve- beloro lulled to ln .ure victory, they have to acquieseo in dcl'eat. And calmly ttud heroically do they bow to the decree of fato. Thoy knew thoy deserved success, they feel that they earned it; hut it has eluded their ef forts and disappointed their hopes. The; have done their duty ; they havo tried lo avert the ruin of their country, hut in vain. The dcstro er must siill pursue de struction, and the suffering must sutler mill, llut why is this? Many causes contributed to briiir it nbout. Among them fraud, lalschood anil corruption stand piomiucut. For the common honor of our country, and tho character of repub lican principles ami institutions, wo are borry to admit this, but it is certain! v true, And tho truth had better be known, that tho people may consider on what a sandy foundation their liberties rest, and either apply tho corrective in time or quietly sink iuto the condition of slaves, lo which they seem fait tending. If the election last Tuesday wei k had been tho fair explos ion of the legal votes of Pennsylvania, v.e should not say a word. I5ut it was not. Tho Uepublieans boasted that they had -10,000 so.diers in tho State to vote for Curtiu 1 If the soldiers had been treated fairly, and had beeu I'urioughed without disciim iuatiou to come hon.o and vote, we would not complain. Uut whilo in tho army Democratic documents were excluded from them ; they were lied into tho belief that Democrats wcro their foes ; ttill this was not sufficient. Uut as tho election ap proached, Democrats wero retained in the licld and Republicans futloughed. This is no bunuositioii, but a fact that is well attested An intanee coma to our own knowledge. We had the statement from tho father himself, and no man Mauds higher for truth in our county, llo told us that one of his boys he has two in tho army wrote to him, saying that ho was offered a furlough, if ho would eomo homo and vote for Curtiu. This as an honest man ho could not do, and staid ; while his biother, a Republican got, a twenty days' furlough, and came home to voto the Rep ublican ticket. This is a single instance, but it shows tho deep injustice done tho Democratio soldiers as well as tho Demo cratic citizens. In many districts iu this county too, persons wcro allowed to vnti who wero not oua.ified. JSonic were nut assessed, and .-ouie had never paid taxes; while others had no rcsideuco. But it was much worse oven this in some other places. But it was much worse oven than this in some other places. Money was freely ucd, aud votors wero brought at so much ahead. But even this was not enough, but in fomo places tho ballot box itself was violalod and tho returns falsified. This is tho ease in tho First ward in Pittsburgh, where tho wholo Democratio ticket rati ono hundred and forty votes aud upwards, yet seventy-seven only wore returned for Woodward. Moro than a hundred citizons of that ward sworo that they vntod for him. With facts liko thcso boforo us, need wo bo surprised at tho result ?

CUKATIXG TUB IT.Ol'LK. The Abolition journcls arc continually ' representing to their deluded readers, that in .Baltimore now, as in New Orleans or in Nashville, great changes ot public opinion arc goiug on in their favor as if, independent of the military forcible action of their Sehenecks, their Du lers, &c , Baltimore just now is represented to be in a state of negro and white equality aud fraternization and if w could credit them ihe old ''Roughs" there now dim Mi a negro even more than they chcrisd a white man. All this is delusion the old dolu-ion and the writers up of it know it well But take Schneck and his army from Bal timore, and not a single Lincoln member of Congress can bo elected from that city, or from the State. The public meetings, so called, aro humbugs military hum bugs cluquer concerns, jot up for cheats, and intended to be cheats. The gullibility of Republicanism, as it seems to us, amounts to a disease, a mo nomnnid. They, no doubt, credit all these stories from Baltimore, and New Orleans, and Nashville aud Memphis, just as they credited tho fauoy that in a holi day of throe months 75,000 men would end this civil war, aud that all we had to do was "march on," with "John Brown's soul, ' from the Potomac to tho RioUrande. l'ivo hundred thousand of ear souls not John Btowu's soul have uow taken their flights f oin our bodies since John Brown's ''soul marched on," and where this flight of souls is to end God alone knows, as tho war goes ou.

Every day brings us not only reports and ground of suspicion that frauds of the most astounding charaoter wcro per petrated by tho Aboltitonists at tho lato election, but cvideuco going to show that their success was owiug to such means ontiroly. In tho city of Pittsburg thoy had full sway. Their majority was enor iuoub, tho iuorcaeo of their voto unproco- dentod, That the ballot-box was tamper-' cd with, is too mild a charge. Thcso on omics of libcaty actually disfranchised numbers of citizens, not by preventing their voting, or going through tho form of it, but actually by suppressing their votes. In tho First ward of that city, one hun drcd andjifty-stven men voted for Gcorgo W. Woodward, who substanliato the fact by their oaths, (and how many moro voted that way wo do not know,) whilo tho re turn mado by tho election officers gives Woodward but 78 votes, Ono other in stance. In tho county of Bradford, an other of their strongholds, tho vote for Governor was 0,079. According to tho last report of tho Kovonuo Commissioners, Bradford county has 9,882 taxables ; of this list it Bcems that only 209 an; not vo ters, which is preposterous. Wo havo, from all parts ol tho State, proofs of simi lar stuffing of the ballot-box, or tho crowd ing in of illegal votes. Wo believe that if a fair investigation could be bad in every election district, il could bo proved that George W. Woodward Was elected Gov ernor of Pennsylvania on tho second Tuesday of Oct, last.

A "Physician's Wife," at Carrol Co., Illinois, writes to the American Agricul turist: "Croup gives warning in advance and woe to tho mother who fails to hoed that warning. Last Sunday morning the good of the sermon was lost to me by tho dry hacking croup cough of a little boy in one ot the front seats. As tho setmon progressed ths coughing grow deeper and harder, and I thought the services would never get through. A mother iu front of me clutched nervously at her shawl every time the little fellow coughed, as if she would fain pull it off and wrap it around the child. There he sat with a low ncck eil jacket on the throat, and part of the chest exposed and br.ro ; tho sight of a corpse would hardly havo chilled mo more, I was a stranger to tho lady who sat be sido him, but learned it was his mother. 'Do you know your child has got the croup I' said a woman as she came up the aislo. 'Yes, ho was croupy last night,' she replied quietly. 'Why don't you tie some thing round his neck then V said tho friend, 'and if you want to save his li.o, give him an emetic when you got home ; rub liniment on his throat and chest, and get him iu a perspiration, keep him warm for a day or two and give him light diet.' Tho mother passed out and I hope she followed the directions. 'Why is it ? 1 inquired of the frieud. 'O, it' Mrs. 15., it not two weeks since she buried a child.

AWFUL SCENES ON' TIM BATTLE FIELD OF CIIICKAMAUOA One of tho editors of tho Atlanta (Ga.) fntclligenccr , who visited tho field of Chickamauea, ten days after tho battle, writes to his paper an interesting account of his observations, from which wo take tho following extracts : "Wo leave tho Chattanooga road and turn to tho right. We ride along the avo nuo, and on every side, thickly strewn arc tho marks of tho sharp-shooters' skill, and the terrible effects of shell and grape from tho masked battery.

A correspondent of tho Providence Jour nal Touches for tho efficacy of ico as a euro for diptheria, croup and all ordinary iuflamation of tho throat. Tho manner of application is as follows : ''Break up a small lump of ico in n towel and put the pieces in a bowl. Take posi tion slightly inclined backwards, either on a chair or on a sofa. Proceed for half an I hour with a teaspoon to feed yourself with small lumps of ico, letting them dissolve slowly in the back part of tho if outh or tho entrance of tho throat. A single such application will often break up a common soro throat, which otherwise would havo a course of two or threo days. In caso of a bad sore throat, use tho ico frequently and freely. Iu case of ulceration or dip theria, keep a small lump of ico constantly in the mouth.'' PnoM the Paws Gawosani.
