additional names, fully substantiated by
affidavit, which, if allowed, will give them
an excess of 176, i
,hidu•:,ing the draft in

A Contemptible Trick.
An item . appearedin yesterday's Gazelle,
evidently intended to have the impression
that Democrats were trying to' heat Gen.
Moorhead by circulating tickets for Thos.
Williams in the 2201istrict, thus mislead
ing the people. We dun assure our nervous
opponents that we resort to no such dirty
tricks to ensure su4ess, but in order to
expose theirmeanness will merely say that
the tickets of which the Gaulle complains
were printed in tha4ffice and sent dut by
persons employed 43,Republicansfor the
purpose They seem a nxious that Mr. Wil
liams should be a candidate in both dis•
tricts.
Mandamus toy; Jurors' Fees,
The County Treasiirer refuses to cash
the warrants of, jurors' fees in attendance
on the Courts, on the ground that he
would be violating thii injunction from the
United States Court, iSnd a writ of manda
mus will be issued to comppl him to pay
them. From the recent decision of Judge
Sterrett in favor of the Western Peniten
tiary, in a similar caSe, the result of the
application is not in riiuch doubt.
Not Ar*ested.
The authorities have as yet been unable
to discover the wher4abouts of Wheeler,
the colored man who ;(iome days ago mur
dered young Wells pear Burgettstown.
Wheeler is the same Individual who was
tried. about seven years ago for the mur
der of a marl named Rott, near Maoris
burg. He has always been looked upon as
a troublesome and dangerous chaaacter.
To be-Ex4Otined.
By instructions troni the War Depart•

Notwithstanding thu.heavx.rain yester.

Wlll. H. Witte, of Philadelphia, would,
address the people of Allegheny, droi
Together an assemblage of at least. a thou.
sand of the ' Dethocracy of our sister city
in the market house.
About half past seven o'clock the meet

gested: President, L. Wilmarth; , Vine
Presidents, John C. Devitt, Robt. Getty
and Fred. Ley. Secretaries, W. H. Mel lee.
and Chas. P.• whist..
The chairman made a few suitable re
marks on taking the stand and then intro
duced Mr. Witte, who was greeted with
three enthusiastic cheers. Hi 'made one
of his powerful, .eloquent and argu
mentative addresses, showing' in a clear
light the principles of the Democracy and
the, position we hold and have occupied
towards the. Government, while on the
other hand he exposed the shallow pre
tences by which a sectional party had got
into power and the means by which they
are endeavoring to retain it. • Our space
will not permit us to follow him in
his address of an hour and a half, or
we should be glad to give A summary of his
convincing speech. It was so unanswera
ble that, although our political opponents
were invited to debate the questions at is
sue between the parties, a distinguished
Republican orator who was present went
o*ay without pretending to controvert his
arguments.

The meeting was pleasant and harmoni•
ous, and adjourned about half past nine
o'clock, with three hearty cheers for tha
speaker, the Constitution, and the Union,

Death from Whisky.
On Thursday evening a little girl, aged
between six and seven years, whose pa•
rents reside on Milrenberger's alley, near
Seventh street. procured about half a pint
of whisky, which had been. carelesslr left
within its reach, and drank the whole of it
before she was discovered. She sickened
immediately, and fell into a deadly stupor,
when a physician was called. The doctor
did all in his , power to save the child, but
to no purpose, as she died soon afterward.
ow The Track.
By the derangement of a switch key,
three passenger cars attached to the mail
train on the Pennsylvania Railroad, which
arrived at noon yesterday, were thrown
off the track as the train was going upon
the siding at the passenger depot. The
passengers were frightened, but no one
was injured, and no damage was done be
yond the breaking of some of the plat
forms.
Criminal Court.
The business yesterday was of an ordi
nary character; chiefly assault and battery
cases. 'William and Ann Evans and Rime
Brogan were tried for keeping a disorderly
house. The latter was convicted, and re
manded for sentence; the others acquitted.

p Various rumors have been circulated,
based upon the hard service seen by this
fighting regiment—one of which is that it
has been reduced to only ninety effective
men. As such an impression is enlculated
to do much injury to recruiting for the reg
iment, we will state that a letter was re
ceived yesterday from Adjutant Corts,
who says that The regiment now numbers
525 men fit fur duty. After the recint
battles the'ranks were pretty well alined
out, but they have been again filled up by
the return of sick and wounded soldiers
from the hospitals. The men are in good
condition, fine spirits and admirable State
of discipline.

FIA ' TtrtISISURII, Oct. 10, 7:30 p. m.—Gov.
Curtin has just received the following dis
patch'from Col. McClure:
CII.OIIIERSIII2Iti.. OCt. 10.—Merceraburg
was occupied by the Stuart rebel cavalry
to-day. They are now advancing on Cham
bersbtrg. They took the horses and all
other property they wanted at Mercers
burg, biferin g rebel scrip for it. They did
no injury to individuals. The force is es
timated at 3,000.
The rebels are cer,tainly advancing upcn
Chambershurg. They have cut the Bed
ford telegraph wire. They are reported)
as near as St. Thomas, which is abou
:even'miles from here. There is no doub
whatever of their being in Mercersburg,
They will certainly give us a call tonight.
We had the rumors at tour o'clock, but it
was not credited. We can make no resist
ance, as it would only exasperate them,
and cause a wanton destruction of proper
ty and Ho
Later-8 P. M.—About fifteen men on
horseback have came into town. They
are armed with carbines, and carry a flag
of truce. They want to see the principal
men of the town. They have a large force
about one mile from town, and w
'in an hour. Col. M'Clure and Provost
Marshall Kimmell have gone two milts
from town to meet the reher commander.
Nothing :an be done except surrender.
We look for the arrival of the whole force
in half an hour. They crossed the Poto-
mac at... Hancock and came over the coun•
try to the Pittsburgh pike. Gov. Curtin
is now pushing troops up the Valley.
LOUISVILLE, Oat. 10.—Early yesterday
morning Buell attacked Bragg's forces
at Chaplin Creek in the immediate vjeini-
ty of Perrysville. A short but terrific fight
ensued when the rebels broke and retreat
ed rapidly over three divergingroads to the
Southwest. Our forces are in close pur
suit with a hope to bag the lot. At last
accounts Get/. Gilbert's forces were in the
rear of the rebels and some distance below
them. 111iilitary exigencies require the
suppression of the place. No further ac
counts of the loss on either side.
Louisville is in great anxiety and excite
ment respecting the fate of our soldiers in
the pending battle.
Capt.. Oldershaw, Jackson's Adjutant,
is on his way here from Bardstown, with
the remains of (i,•ns. Jackson and Terrell,

ANTIIONY)I6YER
SAN Fitn.Nctsco, October 9.--The market
is without interest except for jobbing trade.
Emporters find it difficult to force a sale at
anything like current rates. Many goods
are now arriving via the Isthmus under in
structions to sell and remit the gold in re
turn by the steamer. The consequence is
that general distrust and depression re
garding the future of the market for lead
ing staples.
PITTAB
A proposal said to he urged at Wash
ington of the raising of ten thousand
cavalry in California is regarded here as
impracticable. If they are intended for
service before the fall of 1863 they could
not start s before April or May, arriving in
Missouri in July or August in a worn out
and half starved condition. Ten thou
sand cavalry horses would cost in Califor
nia f wice their value in the Eastern States.
Oct. 10.—The stringency in the money
market is increasing, Bank accommoda
tions two uer cent. 3fining stocks, in
which much speculation has prevailed,

ney pressure, have declined materially,

The Rebel Army in Northern
Virginia.
From the Richmond Dispatch, Oct. 6.
The information from our army on the
border, received since Satui - day morning,
is rather contradictory, and such as to
lead to serious doubt as to the movements
in operation there. From all that has
transpired for a week past, as reported to
us, we indulged the belief that a great bat-
e
was imminent; but our reports for the
past two days rather incline us to the
opinion that the enemy does not mean to
risk an engagement in the lower valley.—
Early in the day yesterday it was asserted
that a fight'was commenced near Martins.
burg on Saturday afternoon; but after dili
gent inquiry we were satisfied that the re
port had rio foundation in fact.
Lieutenant McGruder, of the Purcell
Battery, who left our army on Thursday,
states that no attack by the enemy had
been made up to that time. A cavalry
skirmish had occurred near Martinsburg
the day previous, in which the enemy
came out, as usual, second best. The
bulk of our army occupied the same posi
tion held by it for the last weak. Oar men
were in good spirits, and awaited the
enemy's advance.
A passenger by the central train, who
left Winchester on Friday and arrived here
yesterday afternoon, says that all was
quiet on the border when he left, and that
a general fight was not deemed imminent.
It was not believed that any large force of
the enemy had crossed the Potomac, ex
cept at Harper's Ferry, and the impres
sion prevailed that not more than fifteen
thousand occupied that place. Their
pickets extended some five or six miles up
the road in the direction of Charlestown,
but no force had visited that place up to
Thursday. On Wednesday they came near
enough to throw some shell into the town,
but soon returned to the direction of the
ferry, and on Thursday morning it was re
ported that they had re,-crossed the river
into Maryland. The report that a large
bbdy had crossed at Shepherdstown our
informant thinks is not well founded

ters of a constantly impending fight be
yond Winchester. We think the,rnmor
iiititrifeitel'lilid'enrefedliiiindatiO n .
From:lll,e inset accurate information we
hatie been able together, McClellan evinces
no desire for another engagement with our
army, Ile certainly does not seek one.
When we left Maryland he followed us to
the Potomac: He shows no disposition to,
follow us farther. His policy seems to'
contemplate nothing farther in that quar
ter than to hold the line of the Potomac
and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
McClellan's programme of intended op•
erations is yet to be developed. On the
Potomac he stands on the defensive. Some
think he waits there to accumulate more
troops before attempting that valley road
along which Banks and Fremont succe,b
ively advanced and fled. Others suppose
his quiesence on the Potomac is for the
purpose holding Lee there while an expe
dition is being fitted out to fall on Rich
mond with sudden shock.
The Northern t
a papers encourage th
idea than expedition is being prepared, e
though they do not indicate the points
against which it is to be directed. "An
important movement" is in contemplation,
they tell their people, and they encourage
them to expect handsome results.
McClellan, in our opinion, is sick of
Richmond. So ought Lincoln to be. A
movement by' Manassas, a grand move
ment by the Peninsula, a movement by
way of the Valley, and another attempt by
way of Manassas, have proved so many
failures, disastrous, disgraceful failures.
The Yankees have sang their tune of "On
to Richmond" by every road that leads to
it except one. Will they, try that one
now? Having attempted us frOm the
West, and North, and East, will they
try the South side.? Shall they, in their
extremity attempt a road which in this
day of confidence they consider ineligible?
So long as they had a choice of all, the
southside way of approach was rejected;
and not without good reason. If they
now attempt that it will not be an act of,
judgment, but experiment, undertaken in
desperation' and against judgment. And
yet if the suspected expedition. which Mc-
Clellan is now supposed to be making is
intended for Richmond at all, the indica
tions point to the South side of James river
as the theatre of Me new attempt.
Lincoln would probably be willing to
give his two eyes for Richmond. But the
cup of his and MeClellan's humiliation
would seem to be already full, without tLe
disgrace of a new failure, which they would
be certain to reap as the reward of a new
attempt to capture this city.
For ourselves, we should not at all be
surprised if the enemy were looking at an
other quarter. They may hope that the
capture of Charleston or Savannah would
wipe out to some extent the shame of defeat
at Richmond.
As to our own army, conjecture is equal
ly vague concerning Lee's programme for
the future. It has yet to be developed.
Of the causes of his present position and
attitude it would not yet be proper to
speak, because they migl4,,give some light
to the enemy. Nothitt remains but to
trust our generals. This is not hard to
do. Besides, if his plans were so transpa
rent that we could see through them, so
could the enemy. Let us watch and wait.
A HIGHLY IMPORTANT LETTER
HON. THOMAS H. BAIRD
OF WASHINGTON CO
Hon. Thomas H. Baird, like thousands
of other citizens, not Democrats, can see
no safety for the country save in the suc
cess of that party:
Harlem, near Menonyalzeia City.
Washinat as Co ,Pa., Sept, 17th,
W. PATTERSON, Esq., PATTERSON'S 11111.1,
—Dear Sir-1 think th; rebellion could
have been suppressed by the exercise of
Constitutional powers, and the legitimate
force of our national militia, composed of
the free citizens of the finite,' States.
There was no "public necessity'' for the
suspenspn of the habeas corpus by the Er.
eeutiee—fOr military arrests—for Stanton
warrants, nor for the employment of
tial Late i n any of its despotic exhibitions.
am opposed to all these emergent
measures. They destroy every guaia-ity
of freedom, and leave us the subjects of a
military tyranny.
The tear of a trip to Port Lafayette will
not deter me from expressing my opinions.
"Freedom of speech' asserte:i in our
charter of liberty. When it is impaired
all is gone—we have no further security.
I hope the people will maintain their
rights. The ballot-box still remains—
though a Republican paper has suggested
that public safety requires that the elec
tive franchise ought to be suspended.
Such intimations I regard as moral trea•
son.
will say or do nothing disloyal, hut
will support the government in all, legiti
mate endeavors to suppress the rebellion
and restore to us once more peace and
union. I will, however, at all times, raise
my voice against every violation of the
great principles of our Constitution, and
in reprobation of any act of tyranny,
tary or civil.
The "powers that be': shall have my
obedience, and public aid within the widest
range of their Constitutional action; but
when they exceed that extreme limit, I
will express my dissent, and will use my
elective franchise, so far as it may avail,
to correct the evil and stay any abuse.
Onr country is in a very unhappy state,
and I agree with you fully "that wiser and
better counsels must prevail before a happy
issue arrives."
I LOOK TO THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY NO W TO SAVE THE NATION
FROM; REPUBLICAN ABOLITION
ISM. The "platform" of principles and
policy adopted by the late convention has
my hearty approbation. I hope it will be
sustained by the election of good men and
true patriots to public stations.
You and I are now old men, and past
the age of worldly ambition. We seek
nefther fame, fortune nor favor in the
strife of parties; but we still feel deeply
interested for the land of our birth and
our first affections, and for politic -
tiny (good or evil) which is be re on
children.
Goltsave the Union and the Constitu
tion!
With tine regard, your friend, Sze,,
TH. H. BAIRD.
Why the Rebels Invaded Maryland
An interesting Bit of History
A correspondent of the Philadelphia In
quirer, writing from Frederick, Maryland;
gives the reason for the recent occupation
of that place by Gen. Lee:
"The secret relative to who were the
cause of the rebels invading Maryland is
beginning to leak. out. The rebels have
become so disgusted with the lies and
promises held out to them by the tory cit
izens of Maryland, that to revenge them
selves, they now begin to tell all they
know.
"A number of rebel officers, among them
the Adjutant General of Gen. Lee's staff,
while the rebels were in the vicinity, took
lodgings with a very worthy Union farmer.
by the name of J H. Finney, residing
some three miles below Frederick. While
here, they conversed freely among them
selves, and were very much vexed at the
manner in which they had been received
by the citizens of Maryland. In fact,
they came to the conclusion they had no
friends in Maryland. This was a positive
fact, as the very men who invited them
turned their backs to them.
"One of General Lee's aids took a pa
per from his pocket with over one hun
dred names thereon, at the same time
stating 'these men wrote to us, and it was
by their assurances we came here, and
now they are onr worst enemies: they. will
do nothing for us.'
