TUESDAY MORNING, SEPT. 30
THE COMING ELECTION.
We do not intend writing a rally to the
conservative citizens of our county, to
impress upon them the necessity of
vigorous and united action in the ap
proaching election, nor to encourage them
either in the prospect before them. "If
tie times' abuse;" the distracted condition
of our country ; the thick gloom and low
ering clouds through which no star of hope
is invisible—if these have not made every
citizen feel his responsibility, and made
him serious and apprehensive for the fu
ture of our country, words, surely, are in
adequate to: arouse them from a lethargy
which we fear, will only awake in death.
If the dullest peasant, the merest dolt, can
not see and feel that the very existence of
our republican government is upon the
very verge of ruin, and his liberty threat
ened with usurpation and despotism, then
rhetoric can produce no effect upon one
so totally insensible and null. We have
seen a desperate faction, revolutionary
and anarchical, conspiring to disgrace our
ablest Generals, until the country hasbeen
in danger of - rebellion, and even after the
advancing legions of the traitor govern
ment were lashed back by our victorious
armies, even then our chief commander
continued to be the subject of abolition
vengeance. The President; too,' . the chief
conservator of the liberties of the people.
has been pursued by the radicals until he
had either to yield to their demands or
become the victim of their conspiracies.—
In a critical moment he yielded his better
judgment to their exactions ; and, al
though satisfied that the concession was a
fatal one, we trust that it may prove effec
tive for good,in opposition to the expecta
tions of thotie fanatics, who look upon the
late emancipation proclamation as being
calculated to affect merely the condition
of the slave. We hope that it may be in
strumental in-restoring the Union, no mat.
ter whether slavery is extinguished or not
We can not, however, retrain from expres
sing the conviction that it will prove the
worst measure which the radicals have
- wrung from the President.
But, our object is not to discuss au act
which cannot be revoked, but to direetat
tention to the fact that those who have en
tailed incalculable burdens upon ns are
clamorous for a continuance of power.—
The Pittsburgh . Gazette, yesterday, with a
shameful audacity and falsehood, charac
teristio only of political highwaymen, ap
pealel to the people of the 23d Congres
sional district to elect the Republican can
didate, "whose words" it informs us. will
be hurled like hot shot into the ranks of
traitors and corrupt jobbers.
The reader will please mark this quota
tion, and reflect that it comes from the G'a
zette, a paper whose proprietors and de
pendents have, since the war commenced,
been holding profitable sinecures from
the Government. Paymaster, Postmas
ter, Collector of Government taxes, and
a sinecure clerkship at Washington arehut
four of the places occupied by these gen
tlemen, who are opposed to "corrupt job
hers." Then mark their candidate for
Congress in this district. How did he de
vote his time during the past year? Did
he expose the "corrupt jobbers" in con
tracts, or did he defend and participate in
them all? Did he not exult in the opera
tions of Simon Cameron and his band of
followers, and declare that "his selection
for the Cabinet was the best that could be
made for Pennsylvania." Who has done
more jobbery than he—the radical candi
date for Congress in this district—who, in
fact, has done more? And yet our contem
porary informs us that it desires the elec
tion of Mr. Williams, in the 23d district,
in order that he may punish "corrupt job
bers" in Congress. Could naked hypoc
risy go farther than this': We turn from
its consideration with the disgust which
such brazen dissimulation necessarily ex
cites.
Of Mr. Williams, the candidate in the
23d District, whose election, the Gazette
informs us, is in danger, we have but little
to say. There are none who doubt his
integrity of purpose; but there are none
who know him but must be impressed
with his unfitness for deliberative purpo
ses. His brilliancy of intellect is unques
tioned, but it is the illumination of the en
thusiast rather than the statesman. In his
own estimation he stands alone, "a head
and shoulders above his fellows," and this
he takes every occasion to impress upon
creation. This towering egotism renders
him unfit for every day purposes, while the
smallest pettifogger can readily circum
vent him, if while doing so he only whis
pers in his ear that he is, since the death
of Webster, without a compeer. Mr.
Williams is a good man; but the opinion
he entertains of himself is lamentably to
be regretted. Since the rebellion began
he has objected to everything which has
been done by Scott, McClellan, and their
armies; and, upon every great occasion he
has demonstrated, to his entire eatisfac•
tion, that it he had been in command, the
capture of the entire Southern Confeder
acy would have been but an incident in
his undertaking. In truth, Mr. Williams
"is nothing if not critical;" he has a
most pleasing theory upon every subjeat,
whether appertaining to war, law, or poli•
tics; but, unfortunately, when he comes
to apply it to the hard test of naked facts,
it vanishes into thin air and melts as
breath into the wind. He is, in a word, a
talented enthusiast; and, like Volney
and other sceptical authors, his pro-
ductions, although attractive, glittering
and seductive, always lead the mindto
ncertaiuty and from that to scepticism.
83nd him to Congress and he will excel
Stephens in fanaticism, Sumner in rhetoric
and Lovejoy in pyrotechnic declamation.
..a impaaeaarn t LIE aangerous peculiaraties
of them all, and is, at the same time, gov
erned by an unyielding and dogmatic
temper, which cannot brook the slightest
opposition. If such a gentleman be fit to
go
.to Congress, then let his sensible and
ungnetending opponent be left at home.
NT Capt. George F. Gallope, of the
Pennsylvania Reserves, who has been in
the city for some time, suffering from a
wound received in one of the battles be
fore Richmond in July last, started last
evening to join his company and again
participate the dangers of the field. The
Captain is a gallant and fearless soldier,
and one of whom our county may well feel
proud.
GEN. S. D. STURGIS
This gallant Pennsylvania fighting Gen
eral had an opportunity of distinguishing
himself at the battle of Antietam. It will
be remembered that he fell into disfavor
because he would not obey the behests of
the radicals while in an important com
mand in Missouri. For this his confirma
tion was kept hanging for an unreasonable
length of time in the Senate, and at An
tietam was the first opportunity he had
for displaying those soldierly qualities
which distinguished the young subaltern
on the fields of Mexico, and produced such
excellent fruit at Wilson's Creek.
The taking of Antietam bridge was one
of the most gallant feats of the war, and in
the language of McClellan "saved the
day. " It was heroically performed
by the 51st New York and the 51st Penn
sylvania Regiments,:with Gen. S. D. Stur•
gis at their head.
KILLED AND WOUNDED
It will be seen by the following list o
killed and wounded of the Third Brigade
in the late battles under Gen. McClellan
that the gallant corps suffered awfully.
The Brigadier General of this Brigade be
ing absent on account of sickness, its com
mand devolved upon Col. Robert And,r
son, of this city :

A. H. Coffroth Esq
This gentleman has been nominated by
the Congressional Conferance as the Dem
ocratic candidate for Congress.
Mr. Coffroth always has been. and still
is one of the firm - unflinching Democrats
of the country. He has always nobly
stood up for the men and principles of
the party; always opposed coalition with
other parties, whose doctrines were con
sidered hereises and invaribly stood by
the platform of the party. He is one of
our self made men, having nothing but his
native talent and his character for integ
rity, combined with strong energy, to help
him along. He was, in his earliest man
hood, the editor of the Democratic jour
nal of the country, and earned for him•
self an honorable position among the edi
torial fraternity. Mr. Coffroth is so well
known in this country that we can say
nothing to add to his high standing. He
is deserving of the vote of all Democrats
and conservative men, and we appeal to
our Democratic brethern, to give him
eery vote in the party. Remember, he is
one of those that stood by the party, when
in this country, it was charged as treason,
to stand by the great old Constitutional
party; one of those who resolved that the
Democratic party should not die, as long
as we had a Union and C'onstitution to
defend it.—Somerset Democrat.
Lint a Humbug
A writer in the Boston Post, says of lint.
" Every ounce of lint sent to the army
does . rnischiet. Its only use is to cover
up the blunders of bad surgery. It is sel
do n used by the bestsurgeons here. In the
army it is crowded into wounds by men who
know no other way to stop hemorrhage
and there it remains until it becomes filled
with filth and maggots. It retains the
discharges till they putrefy, and produces
intolerable stench. =The termination of its
work is the death of the patient."
LATEST FROM THE .SOUTH.
The Defence of Charleston.
From the RiohmomOlthic Sept. 24,
The following ridicalous lie, by tele
graph from Boston, is .publishad in the
Northern papers of thePtltint t .!
"The reportedinventinsik . of Charl* .
ton by the gunboats his sone intifinsur
tion by a letter received this . :city from
on board the United Stiteratestmer Bibb,
which says : `Fort Sumpter has already
received a preliminary dab of shot and
shell, which resulted in serious damage.' "
Per contra, the Charleston Courier, of
Saturday last, describes a visit by the
editor "to a noted and prominent military
post, occupying a position in full view and
within easy co-orierating distance of near
ly every fortified point on the surround
ings of our beautiful harbor. It is scarce
ly possible," he says, "within the range
of easy vision, to place one's eye on any
prominent spot that is not frowning with
ordnance of the most approved and de•
structive charade-.
"As auxiliaries to the effectiveness of
these enemy deterring fortifications, there
are also obstructions and destructives,
moveable and fixed, seen and unseen.
which altogether beget a confidence in
those possessing a knowledge of their char
acter that leads irresistibly to the conclusion
that superior engineering skill has made
and is still making our city more and more
impregnable to the attack or attacks of
that Vandal horde, who, we know, owe
us an undying grudge for having made
them once and again kiss the bitter rod of
humiliation and defeat within our pre
cincts. A fire, North, South, East and
West, direct, cross, plunging, and concen
centrated, with other formidable hindran
ces, and before getting out of range of
these engines of destruction of one line of
fortification, running directly within range
of those of a dozen others, would, in the
opinion of those in experience, render the
situation of any foe, in an attack on
Charleston, extremely hazardous, if not,
perhaps, wholly inextricable. To officers
and friends who have placed us under
obligations by their kindness and courte
sies on this pleasant trip, we tender many
thanks."
Col. J. Bowman Sweitzer---A Bril
liant Dash.
The Sharpsburg (Md.) correspondent of
the Baltimore American, writing on the
-1111 inst., says:
" Yesterday afternoon the Sixty-second
Pennsylvania, Colonel S weitze*, with a sec
tion of the First New York artillery-and
Griffin's brigade, crossed the river at Rey
nold's ford, opposite Shepherdstown, and
brought over four hundred rifles, mostly
marked • London, 18G2,' and one fine 12
pounder rifled brass pieces of English
manufitcture. The affair was accomplish
ed rapidly and with entire success. The
rebel pickets fell back as our men ad
vanced, without resistance, and nut even
a shot was Bred.
"These little affairs have an excellent
effect upon the men, and their cheering as
the prizes reached this aide was hearty and
enlivening.
"It appears to be well ascertained that
the bulk of the rebel army still remains
along the bank of the Potomac. All our
reconnoissances find them in strong force,
and the smoke of their camp fires eau be
seen opposite all the fords."
S f 'i'tKiSn of economysays the Kennebec
J.4trnal, reminds us of an instance related
of a lumber dealer iu Gardiner, who fell
boo the river and was in danger of drown
trig. Efforts were immediately made to res
cue him by floating boards from a pile on
the wharf. The drowning man, seeing the
boards came from his own pile, cried our
for the men to pick for the wane edge
pieces.

NEW YORE, Sept.'?.—Correspondence
of the New York Times, dated Centreville,
Va., Thursday September 25th, says:—
The advance division of Gen. Sigel's
corps, under the command of Col. Von
Gilsa, of the Fourteenth New York Vol
unteers, De Kalb Regiment, reached this
place on Monday last, via Falls Church
and Fairfax. Court House. No enemy
was found on the way hither to interpose
any obstacle to the passage of the troops
or to taking possession of the fortifications
upon theirarrival here, except a few scat
tering horsemen,who fled before ocr scouts
could bring their carbines to bear upon
them.
On Tuesday Brigadier General Stahl
reached this point with an additional
force, and he now has command of the
place, and occupies the house of Mrs.
Whaley as his headquarters.
The usual precautions have been taken
to prevent a surprise by the enemy, and
since Monday scouting parties have been
sent out daily in different directions.—
Gen. Stahl in person visited Bull Run

for the purpose of administering a little
salutary punishment to a party of rebel
scouts who had fired upon our pickets.
As may well be supposed, the special
object of the mission was fully accomplish
