Subject to tbe Decision of the Dem Con.
Death of Haiti Bellas, Esq.
"- Tin Sunbury papers last week chronicled
'the death of one of their distinguished and
esteemed fellow citizens.HoGH BtLLAS.Esq ,
eged S3 years and 6 triontbs. He had arri
ved it a good old age; was a native of Ire
land; from whence be came to this country
wher qnke a youth. Re mood high at the
tar, was a profound juriM, and an able and
e'oqt.ent advocate, a scholar and gentleman.
His first practice was in 1806. In 1809 he
' va nppointed Prothonntary tff Northumber
land county, which office he filled, fo the
feneral satisfaction cl tbe citizens of the
'conntv, come nine years. The members
- of thu Northumberland county bar met, pre
pared and adopted an appropriate preamble
and resolution, on lh death of their highly
esteemed fellow citizen and associate at the
bar.
Tbe Draft.
Oa the eve of the election, says the Putii
pf and Union, tr,e people were assured by
the leaders olf the Abolition party that
Woodward' election would necessarily be
followed by another cbrnt ; and this state
men", icade in the rrost positive manner,
'probably aided in defeating him. The elec
lion had scarcely closed and the victory of
the Administration been announced, when
lo ! Abraham Lincoln issues his proclama
lion lor a draft ol 3l0,00o more men. The
elec. ion of Curtin bat not, therefore, helped
the people of Pennsylvania much in this
respect, and we do nat think it will in any
. . Ti,... i i i . - ,u
condition ol things by the election of
Woodward there was none whatever of
loing so by electing Curtin, and yet he
as elected. By and by the people will
open tteir eyes to tbe falsehoods and follies,
t!ie corruption and wickedness of the Abo
I'tion party, when neither the patronage of
r e President nor the greenback of Sir.
Chase can save- them trom defeat until
teri we mast bear patient! tbe evils that
are opon us.
In regard to the new draft, we hope that
a'l loyal men, and particularly the very loy
ii men of the party in power, who have not
yet done any figh'ing, will be ready to
tear tbeir portion ol the burden of the war

tii is. The Hero of yesterday, proscribed
by the Administration, is the Incompetent,

The Quota.- The next draft quota of this
Sate lias been set out at 38,709, about what
the la.! draft wa. what a happy people
we are. It is not in every country we can
live to be drafted. Tbe Abolition press all
ovjr the country told as if we wanted a
short war, one that would be crushed before
text Christmas, and no more drafting, we
sbiuld, by all means, vote for Andrew G
Ccrtin, the "uoldiers friend." Some folks,
nq doubt, believed this story, and voted for
Attdy, but we didn't, ly a long shot! We al-
v.ijt have considered thu a war or the Ke

Tliey have done nothing but lie, cheat, wrong

into ower. They procured position in the

thsy were not Abolitionists! but simply a

ISPOKTAXT AlTr.RSTIOS IM THE SCHOOL
LiiW- Tbe attention of our readers is direct
ed to the fact that, ty the act of April 14;h,
2?)3, the ruzi appropriated for the support
cJ common iichoo's for the school year end
ing oa the first Monday of June, 1854. is to
hn divided among the several districts, in
propsrtion ti the number of children at
tend'n?gcho! therein., and not, as formerly,
s;cordin2 to the number of resident taxa
ble. This is an important alteration, and
a ill materially charge the amounts receiv
ed bjf the different districts. Now, as we
tijJdrstar.d ) be subject, the greater the nntn-b-jr
of scholars and the more regular their
attendance cpoii tbe public schools, the
greater will be iba amount of money rc-r

The Election .
"Stabd Fibm Faltsr Sot a Moment."
No Democrat should be discouraged by
the resnlt of the recent election no true
Democrat will be. Our noble champions,
Woodward and Lowrie, world have, by a
fair election, been elected by al least thirty
thousand majority. Over two hundred and
fifty thousand Democrats, under 'the most
bitter and unrelenting persecution ' ever
heaped upon men for opinion's sake bra
ving all threats of violence, all taunts and
jeers marched in solid phalanx to the
polls and cast their ballots for Constitution
al Liberty and against the exercise of ar
bitary power. They were defeated, it is
true, but they have met with defeat before.
We fought for a principle. It still lives in
the heart of every Democrat, and will live
on fotever. The principles of Democracy
are not ephemeral they are as lasting as
the "rock of ages' As long as we hav a
country, there will be a Democratic party,
ever struggling for equal and exact justice
to all men of whatever religious or political
persuasion, and clinging to the Constitution
as tbe ship-wrecked mariner clings to the
last plank when nigh: and the tempest ur
round bim.
We say again, "stand firm falter not a
moment." We can find conolation for
our temporary defeat in the consciousness
that we have labored for the right, and for
what we honestly believed for the best in
terest of the country, and in the full assur
ance that time, the great arbiter, will vin
dicate as before the Nation. Let us all
take fresh courage and remember that after
the battle of Thermopylae in which the
three hundred Spartans under Leon id as
perished, it seemed that the last hope of
ancient Hellas was gone. Yet the disaster
was retrieved, and Greece saved tjalamis ;
and above all the tones of those who fell
at tbe fatal pass where the Asiatic met the
Greek was raised a monument with the in
scription : illVe lie here in obtdunee to our
country" Let the conservative men of the
nation place the inscription over the de
feated friends of nationality in Pen nsyl
vania ; give as what credit they may for
the fight we have made against Abolition
ism, Despotism, deception, fraud and
money, and rest assured that a Salamis shall
follow a Thtrmopylce. The Hanover Citizen.
Dow it was Dane.
That Gov Curtin's re-election was not ac
complished by fair means can, we think,
easi'y be demonstrated. The modus operan
di which prevailed in Mifflin county, was
no doubt systematically practiced through
out the State How it was done here will
be readily on lerstooJ whe i we relate a few
facts.
For some months past a corapihy of sol
diers belonging to the Invalid Corps has
been stationed at Huntingdon, ostensibly a
a Frovot Guard. The company was nn
ders'ood to have been organized in New
York. Just ten days before the election a
squad of thirteen of these soldiers wer
brought to Lwistown, and quartered at
Graver's Hotel, and ot election d ly they
were escorted io the polls by Depu'y Pro
vost Marshal Mntthersbough, and all but
three made the oath required by law, as to
residence. Sec. aad were permitted to vote !
Next d ty they were ordered back to Hinting
don I Now, who doubts that these men
were sent here fjr the pnrpose of voliig ?
Certainly no sane man doubts it There
fore it is plain they had no light to vote
here, for no man who removes into a dis
trict ten days before the election for the pur
pose oj voting there, is entitled to a vote,
according to the far or Pennsylvania. But
the case becomes still more aggrava'ed
when we consider the additional tact that
not one ol those men had ever been a citizen
of this tounty and perhaps not even of tbe
State. Lewistewn Democrat.
Thanksgiving Day.
President Lincoln has appointed a day of
thanksgiving. We are of opinion tnat the
present stale of tbe country is not all suited
to jubilation. There is much, very much,
in our condition to thank God for; but we
have so sinfully opposed his merciful dis
pensations by the destructive and malig
nant operations of war, that it would much
more become as to prostrate ourselves be
fore Him in sackcloth and ashes. A New
York cotemporaty eaya :
u 'We praise Thee, good Lord,' is to a
certain degree associated with 'Good Lord,
deliver us.' Can we render thanks for such
a Cabinet 8S,the President is surroundedby,
fir what is done at the War Office, and for
what is not done by the navy? Can the co
untry thank God that General Rosecrans is
compelled to advance into the enemy'i ter
ritory against his own convictions, and with
an insufficient force, so that our arms sus
tain a defeat and that over ten thousand
citizens of the republic are killed and maim
ed to no good purpose ? Can we thank
God for a war that has lasted nearly three
years, when it should have been ended in
one? Can we thank God for the immense
damage done to the commerce by the Ala
bama and tbe Florida for the twelve miil
iocs.of dollars worth that MafTit boasts to
have destroyed, and for the sixty four cap
tures made by Semmes ? We can appre
ciate the emphatic No !' wirh which the
country may answer these queries. Evi
dently we cannot give thanks for these ;
and there is, therefore, a deficiency in the
President's proclamation. With his na'ion
al thanksgiving Day he should have associ
ated a not less national fast day, on which
the whole country might feel abundantly
humiliated that the President's advisers are
no wiser or better than they are. Let us
then, when the thanksgiving is weil done
with, have another day opon which the
whole, country may formally mourn in sack
cloth and ashes over Chase and Stanton,
Halieck and Welles; over the imbecilities oi
each and tbe persistent btunders of all; over
the vices and weakness of the War and Na-w
vr Departments alike, and over the awful
loss that they have caused the country."

The War a Failure.
When a certain pater familias complained
at the breakfast table that his eggs were ex
ceedingly hard-boiled, a brogue from the
kitchen assured him that they had been
boiled three hours, and wouldn't boil soft.
So with this Administration. ,Tney insist
upon continuing the process of ebulition,
ignoring the results that reason and experi
ence exhibit as inevitable. If three years of
warfare have but intensified the spirit of re
sistance and animosity in the South, it is
wise to consider that warfare is not the
means by which a renewal of friendly in
tercourse is to be accomplished. That the
War party are conscious that their progress
has been in the wrong direction, is evident
from the pains they have taken to parade
before the public some signs of dissatisfac
tion that seemed at one time to exist in
North Carolina. But even that false ray of
hope soon vanished, and ihey are now
obliged to confront the irresistible fact thit
the South has been morally strengthened
by hostilities, until, as we approach Ihe
third year of the war, the spirit of resistance
is confirmed, and all the social, legislative
and military influences are united, and
more empnatic tnan ever, in antagonism lo
political companionship with the Noith.
The Southern people have now passed
through numerous phases of the strife.
They have been victorious ; they have been
vanquished. They have expected foreign
aid and have despaired of it. The theatre
of war has been transferred from one to an
other quarier of their land, and their battle
star has paled and glowed by turns, and lias
tlitted to and fro, from zenith to horizon.
But amid all vicissitudes there has been
no token of relaxation or despondency.
The indomitable will has been steadfast
throughout all fortunes, pointing, like the
compass, in one direction, whether in sun
shine or in storm. Does it never occur to
the citizens of the North, in their reflective
moods, that this i nflexibility of purpose is
proof against compulsion ? We hare wag
ed against them a war that has no parallel
to its activity and extent, and yet their
physical energies have not been reduced.-
How, then, may we expect to control the
divine essence of their intellectual and mor
al opposition ? We have almost reached
the limits to which hostilities with modem
agencies of destruction and modern features
of costliness and exhaustion, can be carried.
Vet at every point our armies and fleets are
baffled, and the military situation sugguests
rather a hope of escape from discomfi ure
than an anticipation of victory. The facts
comment more forcibly than words upon
the absurdity of the doctrine of coercion.
the defender has confronted the assilant. for
two years and a half, and still confronts.
Not covered within stronghol Js or inaccessi
ble in mountain fastnesses, but arrayed de
fiantly upon battle-plains, inviting the prin
ciple of coercion to vindicate itself. Bat
the mighty North, that arrogates the right of
subjugation, is barely sanguine of powerto
protect its capital, and fearfully conjectures
the fae of its legions shrinking from rebel
cannon within the intreuchmento oi Chatta
nooga.
If the issue were referred directly and
honestly to the good sense of the peaple,
they wocld confess that the force of arms
had failed, after good trial, and they would
appeal to the yet untried influence of nego
tiation. But the people are no longer sov
ereigns, although they may not yet realize
that they are slave. The Administration
is supreme, and wills that the war which
gives them power shall proceed. While
they can print their slips of paper by tun
weight and decree it money, while they
can frown down the remonstrance of an op
pressed people and call it treason, while
they have an exhaustable supply with
which to bribe, provost marshals to intimi
date and a half million bayonets to coerce
the North, although incapable against the
South, they will prolong hostilities a! least
until the next general election fchall give
them the opportunity to strike the final
blow at the elective franchise and Ameri
can liberty.
The Peace Tarty, at this day is Htrong
enough to make its direct issue with the
Administration, if it were permitted expres
sion and free action. Bat a political senti
ment, to conted against the sweeping fraud
and tyranny of officials who are absolute,
onscruplons and the creators of a national
currency, must approach to unanimity, or
resort to revolution. What we have to do
is to make every effort to attain that una
nimity. The contractors, Government em
ployees and the hordes of mercenaries and
time servers that wait always opon power,
must be overcome and awed by the .vast
ness of the oppo-ition. Ohio at the last
election polled a Democratic vote sufficient
in ordinary times to carry the State ; but
what availed it against a power that cou'd
purchase or enforce votes at its discretion ?
We must aim to create majorities so over
whelming, that strategy will be at fault and
corruption baffled. Meanwhile let the peo
ple study the progress of events, and note
how the war confirms the decree of eepara
tion, and traces in blood a line between the
destinies of the sections.

in Harrisburg, when he took occasion to
make tbe following prophecy :

and re-elected, and that person will be

General Lee's army,, which disappeared
60 mysteriously I week ago, was found
north of the Bappahannock on Saturday,
when a portion pf it engaged and worsted
the Federals in 8 sharp fight, and ' the tele
graph says be is now ready for battle, while
the Federal army hangs on a pivot, at War
renton. Bui the recent movements of .the
Confederate General still remain a matter
of conjecture, and justly excite apprehen
sion. It cannot be doubted that his strategy
vails a dangerous purpose. The most plan
siBIe theory is that, having secured the
present safty of Richmond, be has detached
a formidable force lo re enforce General
Bragg or to operate against General Burn
side. The latter i3 mos probable, and may
hare occasioned the hasty withdrawal
of that General' forces from Southwest
Virginia into Eat Tennessee. General
Burnside is in a position of danger, to es
cape from which will severely prove his
skill as a tactician and a soldier. We have
a report that General Hooker ha crossed
the Tennessee and had a fiijht with the Con
federates on Saturday. This -indicates an
attempt to lorm a junction with the army at
Chattanooga, and to resume ofiensive war
fare. The troops besieged in that city
have been on short rations for some time,
and to increase the force would be only to
increase their troubles, unless, the armies
united shall be sufficiently strong to offer
battle and win jt. At present the Confed
erates invest Chattanooga, and command
all the avennesto it, except the road over
the mountain, which communicates with
Stevenson, Alibama This makes the
matter ol supplies very difficult, and it is
cer'isn that without speedy relief, the army
must attem pi 0 retreat from that point. In
the meantime Middle Tennessee and Ken
tucky are overrun wilh2g"erilla, who arj
harrassing their enemies in tbe usjal
mode.
The Confederates have abandoned Can
Ion, Mississippi, twenty-five miles from
Jackson, after a fight in which they lost
two hundred men taken prisoners. Gen
eral McPherson commanded the Federals
Corinth i aain filled with soldiers, who have
had a sharp engagement with the Con'd
erate General ?. D Lee, and o' her, who
are cpntesting General Sherman's advance,
to prevent his junction with Guneral Hook
er al Stevenson. The rai'rod frrrn Corinth
has been badly damaged by the Conled
era'es. There are ind cations that the abKurd
Texas expedition, through the Attakpas, in
Louisiana, will be abondoned. Generals
Banks and Franklin were in New Orleans
at the last advices. The rumor thai tUe
Federal t.aval force had taken possession of
Point Isabel, at the mou'h of Ihe Rio
Grande, is unfounded. We are told that
matter are progressing at Charleston, but
we cannot say whether well or badly.
h Citizen Slcrdercd by a Soldier
A brutal murder occurred at Waynesboro
on Tuesday afternoon last. Thfac:sof the
case as far as we have been able to learn
them are about as follows : Mr. Henry
Unger, the constable, was endeavoring to
quell a disturbance near the election poll
when a young man named John Fiohr, a
six months' soldier in Captain Ilul'ingerV
company, pulled out his pis'ol, and saying,
' G d D n you, I'll shoot you," presen
ted it at Mr. Unger's breast and fired, kil
ling him instantly. Fiohr was immediat
ely arresred, but while he was being taken
to the Justice's office, some of his friends
originated a difficulty, daring which he
succeeded in escaping. We believe he has
not yet been arrested, bot hope the author
ities will awake to a sense of their duty.
These are strange and startling times,
but such outrages as this should not be al
liired to go unpunished, even if the pr
petralordoes wear a mili ary suit. Mr.
Uoger was a quiet, inoffensive citizen, re
spected and beloved by all who knew him
and when killed was acting in the plain
discharge of bis doty. He leaves a wife
and several children to mourn his loss.

Female Drummer. A girl, aged twelve
years giving the name of Charles Martin,
enlisted in a Pennsylvania regiment nearly
two years since, as a drummer toy. She
had tbe advantage of education, could write

made herself useful to officers in the rei

cers never dreamed of her sex. A shor'
time since she was taken sick with the ty

Women Shot At a recent Democratic
meeting in Eaton, Preble county, Ohio, an
indescribably infamous outrage was perpe
trated. As the Democratic pfocession
passed through the town, an Afolition mob
threw stones and eggs into the procession.
The democrats, anxious lo preserve the
peace, forbore resistance. The forbearance
however, was not appreciated. There was
a delegation of five hundred ladies on horse

shots among the ladies, severely injuring
four two dangerously. Such is a speci

FROM THE AIU1Y OF THE POTOMAC.
Cannonading nrar Bealton Horse Stealing.
Washington. Oct. 27. Heavy cannonad
ing was heard ai Gaineoville to day which
continued for more than l.vo hours, up to
noon, in thp direction oi B-'a ton, which is
five miles from Rappahannock Station. At
seven o'clock this morning the 2nd Army
Corps Marled out t-n a reconnoi-i-ance in
that neighborhood, and may have encoun
tered the enemy.
Last night, between 8 and P o'clock ten
or twelve teams of the Receive I Artillery
were cap'iired by about 150 guenilasvhen
two miles from, and proceeding towards
Warrenton. On first being hailed, the guer
illas represented Ihemcelves as attached to I
Ihe 13iti Pennsylvania Cavalry, and soon
alter ordered the teams to halt, when they
stole the mule; but one-ihirJ of the animals
were subsequently recovered.
This afternoo i, abotit 4 o'clock, another
band cam within half a mile ot Biker Sta
tion, sixteen miles of Alexandria, and cap
tured twenty-five or thirty mules, used ior
hauling wood, together with the wagon
master and several negroes. They ordered
Ihe waijon-ma.-oer to take them to where the
guard were; but one of the negroes having
made his ecape, hurried to ihe gnard and
informed them of their danger, when they
prepared to give the loe a warm reception.
The "ueri'la, evidently suppo-ing they
would make sn eay conquest, having been
informed by the wagon-master that the
guard numbered six, when, in fact, there
were about thirty men, approached with
boldness, but were suddenly driveu off by
a volley ol musketry. These guerillas were
armed, for the greater part, with pistol?, and
had only a few carbines.
Movements of Cen. Lee's Army.
Washington, Oct. 27 The Star 6ays :
'No information has been received here
indicatiri2 that the two hostile armies npou
the Rappahannock have come into collision
again that is, since Saturday last. It lurns
out that the importance of the Cavalry fiht
on that day, this side of the river, was very
much magnified. It is the belief of nearly
all military men here that no considerable
portion of Lee's army have recrossed into
Fauquier county, as alleged, and his act of
laying pontoons across tbe river in the vi
cinity of Rappahannock Station was intend
ed to faciiraie the retreat, when pressed, of
the portion of his cavalry and the inconsid
erable supporting infantry he threw north
ol the stream to euppnri the cavalry.
Attack ou Bafurd's Caralry.
Washimjton, Oct 2S Information from
the army of the Potomac says, that General
Buford's Cavalry Division was attacked by
the enemy's inlantry near Bealton Station,
on Thursday at noon, and was forced to fall
back upon our infantry within one mile of
Germantown. There were but few casual
lies on either side. The skirmishing con
tinued lor several hours.
It is not true, as reported, that General
Meade's army is retreating. His head
quarters have moved, but not towards
Watdiinsj'on
Gentlemen in military circles here view
our present position as highly favorable in
the event of Lee venturing a general attack.
A Change in Position, A Skirmish.
Washington, Oct. 29. Gen. Meade has
within a day or two, made some changes in
his position, looking io the better protec
tion ol those engaged in the reconstruction
of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad.
While this change was being effected, al
about three o'clock yesterday morning, the
rebels nade a demonstration againsi the
6th Corps, but nothing further was accom
plished than the driving in of the pickets of
that corps a short distance, when the rebels
retired.

at Cherokee Station, 89 mites from Xucutn
bia. Alabama.

and had not moved far when he encounter
ed two brigades of Rebel Cavalry under
Generals Lee and Forrest, estimated at from
4,000 to 6 000.
The fight lasted lor an hoir, whet the
rebels were driven back with severe loss
0r loss was seven killed and thirty seven
wounded caused chiefly by an on fortune
mistake, by which Lee' cavalry, who were
dressed in blue overcoats, were supposed
to be a part of our forces.
The rebels are said to have very strona
forlifications construe'ed a mile thi side ot
Tuscumbia, on the railroad. The prisoners
captured report tbal the enemy expects to
make a stout resistance at tht place. They
say they had 4 000 men there on Tuesday,
and received reinforcements of 000 cav
alry on Wednesday. Two thousand more
were expecied from Gen. Bragg.

patch from the army of the Potomac, dated
the 3 1st, says that trains are running to
Bealton, and that it is practicable to finish
it to the R4ppahannock in three or lour
days. The supply depot at Gainesville is

Cincinnati, Oct. 29 The Gozet'e's Chat
tanooga dispatch, dated the 27th says, that

1 Hh Ohio Regiment, floated fi ty pontoon
down the river, in the lace ol the rebel

Attack on Gen. Hooker The Enemy Ue
pulsrd. Washington Oct. 30 The Sta of this
evening contains inlorrnation that on the

which wai planned and executed u ider the
direction of Gen. Smith, chief of engineers
in the Department of the Cumberland, to

four o'clock A. M.
'Hooker reports, at 7. 30 this morning

They repelled every attack nade on them,
and drove the enemy from every position
thev as-aded."
Nothing additioral has been receive! at
the headquarters ot the ariny,iip to noon to
day, concerning Hooker's victory. The
fight took place at Crown's Ferry, on the
Tennessee river, near Chafanooga, and t tie
result is considered of ihe h'hest impor
tance, bs it relieves rebel obstructions to
steamboat navigation tf. that point, and se
cures other advantages in opening up the
way for army supplies.

"Major Gen H. W. Halieck, Gen.-in-Chtef:
'In the fight ol last night, the enemy at

"GKO. K. THOMAS, Maj Gen."
Woman Shot. A few nights since, one
of the deputy provost marshals in Jefferson
county Pa., shot a woman in mistake for
her husband. It is alleged that the marshal
had taken a deserter, who escapeJ Irom
him on pretence olgetting dinner. He there
fore took a posse, went to the house of the
deserter, and sent the posse lo tbe rear of
the house until he should apprise them of
the presence of the prisoner by firing a
pistol, when they should assist him. In a
minute he fired, and when the posse came
around to the door ihey found the wife of
the deserter had been shot in a mistake for
for the husband, who the marshal thought
was endeavoring to maka his escape.
Old Abe has caused an order to be read
to the army, threatening the soldiers with
the severest punishment forspeaking disre
spectfully of him. When the great Caesar
declared himself Dictator in Rome, the sol
diers were in the habit of ottering and sing
ing the most disguesting lampoons and
scandals against bim, ur and down the
lines of the whole army. But Caesar gave
no order forbidding it. When the person
alities became too bad for endurance, he
caused his Iriend Appins to write in bis de
fense,denying the truth of the things utter
ed aganst him in the army.
