Tie election for member of Congress and
County offices, will come off on TUESDAY
OCTOBER 11th. Let our friends have a
Committee in each school district to bring
out the voters. Attend to this at once. A
vote for the Democratic ticket in October is
a rote for GEN. GEORGE B. McCLELLAN
in November. Let this be remembered by
every friend of LITTLE MACK. Inasmuch
as it will be impossible for the Democratic
canvassers to go into every township, prior
to the October election, we earnestly call
opon the people to attend to this matter in
their own way.
Assess the Soldiers. The frieads of the
Soldiers should bear in mind that, in order
to secure a vote, every non-commissioned
officer and soldier who is a legal voter, mast
be assessed with a county tax of ten cents,
and the usual tax is to be assessed on every
commissioned officer. Collectors are re
quired to receive the tax and give a certifi
cate of payment, when the assessment is
made. If the soldier is already assessed no
certificate is required. Assessors must add
names to..heir lists upon application of any
resident of the district, under a penally of
not less than 220 or more than $200. Oar
friends in this county should early attend to
the requirements of the law, so that every
eoldier entitled to a vote, may exercise the
right.
The Abolitionists attempt to justify their
barbarous and unconstitutional uegro policy
od the ground that it hurts the rebels.
Therefore, they argue, it must be right.
This new philosophy of theirs is really
quite encouraging to men of small muscle
and little courage. If 1 fall oat with my
neighbor and- we come to a fisticuff, in

its carriage, and rplash a little sly rood on
bis wife's best dress. This will make him
feel bad it will huit him, in fact, and make
him cautious how he offends. me. Thus
the magnificent and successful policy upon
which the Abolitionists carry on war, can
be successfully applied to the pioaecution
of .private aqnabbleJ..
' The difference between Gen-McClellan
and Abbauah Likcoln, in one respect, is
this : McClellan is for the Union uncondi
tionally while Lincoln is for the Union con
ditionaily. The Union cannot be restored,
coder ibis administration, until every negro
is set free. Mr. Lincoln has said he would
receive no propositions of peace, or for a
settlement o the difficulty, unless they
contained the "abandonment of slavery.";
, ; McClellan proposes to give them all the
rights they are entitled to under the Con
stitution and see if be cannot bring them
back without any more loss of life and
bloodshed. This has not yel been experi
mented upon by Lincoln, but proclamation
after proclamation has been issued, under
the plea of military necessity, which have
all. been calculated to further widen the
breach between the two parties. This re
bellion has grown amazingly large under
Lincoln's culture ! -
The Abolitionists oppose Gen. George
B. McClellan for President on the ground
that be is a better Union rran than Abra
ham Lincoln; he is unconditionally for the
Union while their candidate is like Mr.
Davis ; he is for the Union if he can have
it bis own way. Lincoln would have a
reconstructed Union without slavery, oth
erwise he would be willing to "let the Un
ion slide." Davis wants the Confederacy ;
oothing else will suit bim. So yon see
there is very little difference in the two
Presidents. There is no question about it,
they are both working for the same object ;
and continuance of their policy must even
tually bring out their desired result, a d is
olation of the Union McClellan is the
only man just now who can make peace
and bring back the old Union. ,

Columbia County 'Republican.
The Abolition press are always ready to
pervert the troth when misrepresentation or
a lie will best suit their purpose. The irre
sponsible editor of the Republican of this
place, week after week, feeds his readers
with such trash as the above, vyhicb is noth
ing but falsehood from first to last Very
few of bis readers take any other paper and,
as a matter of course, regard all it contains
as true. This, in a measure, if it is not at
tributing too much to an empty vessel, will
account for the minds of the Abolitionists
in this county being so terribly poisoned
towards the Democratic party. If half this
normal editor told his readers, about the
Democrats of Columbia county, for the last
three years, were true, the rebellion origi
nated, and is being carried on, in this coun
ty, instead ei down South, It is true, we
have a small porfton ol the army with us ;
brought here through bis willful misrepre
sentations, for no other purpose, that we
can conceive, than to arrest, as it has been
doing, quiet, peaceable and law-abiding
citizens. This, so far, seems to have been
the only work our Abolition friends have
found for it to do. The ''government" hav
ing complied with their request, in sending
troops, it is for these crazy sap-heads to
find and make employment for them.
But to the "Jam pUnk" of the Chicago
platform, out of which the unscrupulous
Ikomas Dunn attempts to make capital by
deceiving his honest readers. It reads as
follows: .
Resolved, That the shameful disregard
of the administration to its duty in respect
to our fellow citizens who now ami long,
have been prisoners, and are now in a suf
fering condition, deserves the severest rep
robation on the score alike of public and
common humanity.
Does this sound much like finding fault
with Mr. Lincoln "for not allowing Rebel
Soldiers from the border States to return
home and vote V If the Republican main
tains that "our fellow citizens" are "rebel
soldiers," then we shall hand its editor over
to the keepers of the lunatic asylum at once
and be done with him. But it seems to ns
that this administration party have did little
else but lie, and plunder the Government,
ever since they came into power. They
were going to economize in the affairs of
our Government! They were going to pay
off our little debt aud make no more ! Yes,
they, too, were going to bless the country
with a high protective tariff! This promise
they have kept well! Their tariff protects
every article of daily consumption so well
that the laboring classes can tcarceiy pro
cure the necessaries of life. When a man
mutt work a whole day for two yards of
muslin or three pounds of butter, it is high
time we once more have a Democratic ad
ministration. A change is absolutely neces
sary. The question is one of life or starva
tion and ruin !
All kind of stories are and will be cir
culated about our candidates for President
and Vice President between this and the
election, for the purpose of deceiving Dera
ocrats into the support of the Abolition can
didates. Pay no attention to thern, all will
be well, and the Democratic candidates will
be triumphantly elected. The present ad
ministration has been a failure, one of mis
rule and calamity, end brought us opon the
very brink of national ruin. Ask yourselves
the question, will jou continue such an ad
ministration in power four years longer !
Will, you vole for four years more blood
shed ? Will you by yoar support favor the
continuance of high taxes and more con
scription 1 We think we hear every honest
man every man who feels an interest in
the country which he lives every man,
woman and child that feels the pressure of
these pinching times proclaiming at the
top of their voices, No ! The whole coun
try is eager for a change.
"Let every Unionist remember," says
the Philadelphia Age, ''that Abraham Lin
coln announces that the abolition of slavery
is the only basis opon which he will nego
tiate for peace." Let every Unionist remem
ber, say we, that Jefferson Davis announces
that the only basis upon which he will ne
gotiate is the absolute and unconditional
independence of the South. Tribune.
Certainly ! Mr, Lincoln and Mr. Davis
are standing on the same platform. They
are both hostile to the old Union. But the
people, accepting General McClellan's pa
triotic declaration that "the Union is the
one condition of peace," will vote for him,
because he accepts the Union as it came
from its framers, and is willing to make it
the basis of negotiation for a lasting peace.
That's what's the matter.
That's So If we want peace if we
desire to restore the Union and maintain
the Constitution if we believe these ob
jects and ends can only, or best, be attain
ed by peaceful measures, we must have
in the Presidential chair a man who is in
favor of trying the efficacy of such peace
ful measures. That man is Gen. McClel
lan. If war can only be terminated by "fight
ing it out" as the stay-at-home. Republi
cans tell os if the Union can only be sav-
! ed by "conquering the military powers of
the South" if the "bloody path of war" is
the only one that leads to. peace then we
need a man at' the helm of State, a man
who knows how to carry on a war success
fully. That man is Gen. McClellan.
While Lincolu is unfit for either of these
emergencies, Gen. McClellan is qualified
for either. Easlon Sentinel

General Fremont's Letter,
The Presidential question has been sim
plified, but not materially changed, by Gen.
Fremont's withdrawal from the canvass.
Nominally, though with a very bad grace,
the Cleveland candidate resigns in favor of
Mr. Lincoln ; but, in reality, his withdrawal
will scarcely affect the relative positions of
the remaining candidates, or if it does, the
advantage will be with the Democratic
nominee. Tbope who brought General Fre
mont into the arena aimed a blow at Mr.
Lincoln, and although it has failed of its
full effect, they are aware that it will not be
forgotten or forgiven, ft is now too laie for
them to return to the fold with any hope of
wiping ont the Tecord of their spostacy.
The fatted calf will not be killed for them,
and ihey wiil rather ran their fortnnos with
McClellan than 6eek to patch tip a hasty
and hopeless reconciliation with the object
of their deeper hostility.
General Fremont relied upon the rotes of
those B ack Republicans who are thorough
ly disgusted with Mr. Lincoln, and the fact
of the wiihdrawal will not render their re
pugnance Ie68 intense. No enmity is taote
buter than that of an alienated friend, and
none is more zealous than a renegade to op
pose his former faith. Many Black Repub
licans flocked to the standard of General
Fremont because they bad been rebuffed
and slighted in the distribution of the spoil
and their disappointed avarice and ambition
sought relief in a vindictive opposition
Others were influenced by conscientious
motives, having sufficiently appreciated
Mr. Lincoln's character to be convinced
that ander his Adminislrationthe honor and
welfare of the country would be sacrificed
to the most unscrupulous ambition and the
most obstinate folly. The votes of both
classes will be given to the Chicago nomi
nee?, and the result of General Fremont's
abdication. will be to recruit the ranks of
Mr. Lincoln's opponents. So far as the
prosecution of the war is concerned, there
has bee'i no antagonism of sentiment be
tween the candidates.
The Silnalion.
The Colnmbia county military farce is
not quite played out yet, as we learn from
The Star that a portion of the army of oc
cupation are encamped near Benton. We
I understand that Edward McHenry, a draft
ed man from Benton twp., was arrested on
last Monday, making the third drafted man
arrested by the military forces. The army
succeeds much better in bagging peaceable
citizens while lying in their beds, than in
securing deserters, yet it required one or
two Major Generals, with a lot of minor
officers and a large force to perform this
daring exploit. General Couch, who allow
ed the town of Chambersborg to be burnt
without hardly making a show of resis
tance to the rebels, we be lieve is the
promineut hero in this Colombia county
affair. The truth is, this military magnate
was most egregiously humbugged into
believing the story of that 7 miles of forti
fications, the tremendous fort, and the five
brass cannon and 7,000 rebels, consequent
ly he moved his army from the real rebels,
to attack peaceable citizens. He did not
find the fortifications, the fort, or the 3.000
Fi6hingcreek rebels, so to get ont of the
ridiculous scrape, be must needs make a
haul of innocent men on some trumped up
charge and thratt them into Lincoln's bas
tile. It is now said that the senrvey Abo
litionists of that section, who had a hand in
this contemptible proceeding, are frighten
ed at their work and request a company or
two of soldiers to remain permanently there
to protect them. No wonder they dread
! the future. Such wrongs are not easily
forgotten by the-sufferers. There is a day
of retribution coming when these infernal
scoundrels will get their deserts and it may
corns before they are aware of it Dan

By reference lo the proc eedings of (be
Conferance held at Bloomsburg recently,
to nominate a candidate for Congress to
represent the 13th Congressional District,
to be found in another column, it will be
f seen that Col. Victor E. Piollet, of Brad
ford county has been chosen. In accor
dance therewith we have placed bis name
at our mast head, and are determined to
support him. The Colonel is "well known
to a large portion ot our readers, and lo
them a comment upon his worth and tal
ent is unnecessary, but to many in the
District who are not acquainted with him,
or his history, we would say that he is a
fearless and unflinching Democrat, elo
quent in speech and commanding in ap
pearance, and as a representative in Con
gress, would be the "right man in the right
place." Being well acquainted with the
history of our country from its foundation,
ho unites the quality of being posted to
that of a sound thinker and profound logi
cian. In these trying times, we want men
ta fill responsible positions who are made
of the "right stuff ," and we urge upon the
Democracy to take this important fact
into consideration. The Abolition party
have placed oc their ticket the name of
Hon. U. Mercor, whom we all know to be
a person ot worth, and an esteemed per
sonal friend and powerful opponent, and
hence all should see the necessity of be
ing on the alert and doing all in their pow
er to give oar party prestige in the impend
ing conflict. The great principles of De
mocracy must be opheld and sustained.

candidate being a Democrat, though "not a
Copperhead," as was stated, the Republican
thought to trump up a sufficient oumber ol
weak-kneed and disaffected Democrats to
make "Jordan a hard road to travel" to us.

ly looked for reliable information opon the
subject, we are unable, et this moment, lo
present, in all its deformity, this new out
rage opon the rights of the' people by the
central despotism et Washington. Against
the parties illegally arrested and confined
in a military prison, there is not, we learn,
the slightest evidence of criminality of any
kind whatever. They were taken away
from their homes without warrant of law,
and without being made acquainted with
the charges against them. Among them
are some of the most prominent Democrats
in the localities we have mentioned,, and
thiR may possibly account for their outra
geoui treatment. Their alleged resistance
to the draft, charged by the Abolition press,
i, we also learn, wilhoot foundation ; and
if a proper iriTC'tigation could be bad of
the outran, we are credibly informed that
the startling fact would be developed that
the military authorities, failing to secure
the real parties who resisted the conscrip
tion, arretted a number of boneat and un
offending citizens pointed out to them by
some Abolition miscreants, who played the
disgraceful and infamous part of informers.
If the persons now held in durance viola
ted any law, and aided or abetted io re
sisting the draft, they should be tried and
punished in accordance with the law they
may have broken. If, however, they have
been arrested by malignant partisans, to
glut the political vengeance of Abolition
ism, and intimidate the free and indepen
dent voters of Columbia and Luzerne, the
people must know it, and prepare them
selves to meet the fearful issue thus raised
by the traitorous law-breakers at Washing

of law-abiding citizens, but they impera

Slrasbura is twelve miles southwest of
Winchester. Front Royal is in the Shena't- J
doah, fifteen miles south of Winchester.
Upon abandoning Winchester, the Confed
erates withdrew to Strasburg, and took a
strong position upon Flint or Fisher's Hill,
two miles south of the town. Here tbey
fortified themselves, and a strong force of
cavalry was sent eastward to Front Royal,
to prevent their being outflanked in that di
rection. General Sheridan moved his
army forward a rapidly as possible, and
established his headquarters at Strasburg.
On Tuesday morning be sent General Av
erell with the Federal cavalry to Front
Royal.- Averell attacked the enemy, and it
is reported he captured the towu ; but as
he is very backward in sending dispatches,
it is extremely doubted if he made any
farther progress. On Tuesday afternoon,
Sheridan attacked the Confederate position
south of Strasburg. His assault was ansuc
cessful and he then withdrew. He then
sent an expedition around the western side
of the.Confederate position. After a brief,
though not very bloody battle, the Confed
erates were outflanked, and opon Sheri
dan's making a second attack in front Ihey
jielded up the hill, and retreated farther
southward. Sixteen cannon and a number
of prisoners are reported captured, but how
many is not stated. We know nothing of
the progress of General Sheridan beyond
Strasburg. The enemy are retreating to
wards Woodstock, a few miles sooth of
Strasburg.
General Sheridan bas ordered that f.o
wagon trains be sent further south than
Winchester. The guerrillas are thick in
that vicinity. The number of Confederate
prisoners captured in the battle of Win
chester on Monday, was three thousand, of
whom fourteen hundred were wounded
men found in hospital at Winchester.
Sheridan's loeeen are reported as follows:
6th Corps, 1.450 ; 19th Corps, 1,175;
Crook's Corps, 800. Total, 3 425. This is
the report made, however. A dispa'ch
from a Christian Commission delegate
states that there are five thousand wounded
in hospital at Winchester. Deducting the
fourteen hundred Confederates, this would
leave thirty-six hundred Federal wounded
at that place alone. Letter writers slate
that the Federal losses iu the Winchester
fight were over four thousand Of the
losses at Strasburg, not even an estimate $s
made. It is extremelv doubtful now
whether the damage inflicted on Early wa
commensurate with the -loss suffered by
Sheridan.
There are again reports of a battle being
imminent on the Weldon Railroad, though
nothing definite is told os about it. On
Grant's northern Hank the Confederates
have kept up a severe cannonade against
the Dutch Gap'canal diggers. These have
been able to do very little work. The Con
federate gunboa's have sailed down the
James and stationed themselves opposite
the point whete the north end of the canal
will debtjuch At Cox's Ferry, two miles
above this point, the Confederates are
erecting a formidable battery, which is said
io rival Fort Darling in impregnabiiiy.
They are making every preparation for
whatever may happen whenever the canal
is completed.
The burning of the Orange Railroad
Bridge over the Kapidan by a Federal raid,
is confirmed. Southern accounts stae,
however, that but very slight damage was
done to the bridge. The various reports
about Mosrby having been wounded, are
also true. A Southern dispatch states that
he received a flight wound in the thigh in
a recent skirmish near Fairfax.
Two thousand prisoners of each side
have been exchanged at Atlanta
Some skirmishes rre reported in Mis
souri. Thus far in the battles at Winchester and
Strasburg, five thousand prisoners and twenty-one
guns have been captured. Sheridan's
camp at Woodstock, where he halted on
Thnrsday last, to rest hit army and distrib
ute rations, is twenty four miles 6oothwet
of Winchester Sheridan has great difficul
ty in getting his trains forward,as the coun
try swarms with guerrillas. Heavy guards
will be required to escort the supplies.
No report which bears any official sanction
bas yet been received of the Federal losses
Maninsburg has been garrisoned by Federal
troops, and Gen. Neal Dow pent to com
mand it. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
will be in running order to Martinsburg to
day. There, is an official report of the first
day's battle in the Shenandoah, fro an Gen.
Lee. He state that three piece of artil
lery were Iom in that fight and that Early
was compelled to retire. Southern news
papers state that the Confederite loss was
twenty-five hundred, Generals Rhodes and
Godwin were kuleJjand Fi:z Hugh Lee and
York wounded.
Southern telerrams s'ate that it is rumored
that Gen. BeaQ:egtrd is to supersede Gen. i
Hood in command of the Confederate army
in the SouthweM. Nothing new has occur-;
red at Atlanta. Th people of Macon ap
prehend extensive raids against the'.r rail
roads as soon as the existing armistice shall
have ended. Gen Sherman is still sending
the women ar d children of Atlanta south
ward. The Confederates have, it is repor
ted, moved their army to the southwest of
Atlanta, to cover the Montgomery Railroad.
The raising of ihe siege of Mobile will en
able them to get reinforcements.
From Gen. Grant's camp at Petersburg
there is nothing new. There are still ru
mors of movements by both armies, but
nothing definite is told us. A court of in
quiry, it is said, will be appointed to discov
er who is to blame for the Confederate
capture of the cattle heard. Picket firing
continues, but skirmishing bas almost ceas
ed. It is announced that the siege of Mobile
has been abandoned. The greater part of
the land forces have returned to New Or
leans. Farragut will maintain a strict block
ade. A Federal expedition is now being pre
pared at Morganzia, at the month of Red
River, under Gen. Canby. It is to ascend
White River, Arkansas, and look after Gen.
Price. There is a report from New Orleans
that Gen. Banks has been offered the ap
pointment ol Secretary of War by Mr. Liu
coln. On Wednesday last the guerrillas cap
tured a party of sutlers, with their goods,
thirty horses and a guard of twenty men,
en route from Harper's Ferry to Sheridan's
camp. A Federal cavalry expedition sent
out lo hunt guerrillas in Loodon coanty,laat
week, captured four prisoners.
On Monday last a party of guerrillas cap
tured a Federal train of over two hundred
and fifty wagons in the eastern part of Kan
sas. The value of the train and goods on
board is said to be over a million of dollars.
Surgeon General Barnes bas issued an or
der tbat all soldiers in hospitals who are fit
to travel shall have permission to visit their
heme3, and stay until after the PresidentisI
election. This will permit all to vote.
The Federal gnnboat Currituck was fired
into at the mouth of the Pocomico River,
Virginia,' on September 26th, and one man
killed and another wounded.
There are now 6,500 prisoners at Point
Lookout.
