FOR GOVERNOR,
GEORGE W. WOODWA.RD.
FOR SUPREME) JUDGEf
WALTER H. LOWBIE
JUDGE WOODWARD AND
KNOW NOTHiNGIBM.
It is almost inconceivable to believe
the desperate expedients to which the
Abolitionists of Pennsylvania are resort
ing, in the vain hope of helping their sink
ing cause. Can anything be more ludic
rous than the leaders of that infamous
and profligate organization, who have just
emerged from the dark plottings and wind
ings of ano-wNothing lodges, objecting
to the election of Judge Woodward, be
cause, as they allege, he is not sufficiently
friendly to our foreign born fellow citizens.
These brazen and shameless political
mountebanks must imagine the, people
the veriest dupes. Think for a moment
of a party, just after having counseled,
not only the disfranchisement of a man
because of the accident of his birth, but
his proscription, because of his religion,
now appearing as the special champion of
civil and religions equality. Could politi•
cal profligacy and duplicity exceed such
an exhibition of partisan effrontery ? lin•
agine a set of desperate partisans exulting
in the slaughter of men, women and chil
dren, because of their religions connec
tions, or the dashing out of brains of in
nocents upon the bosoms of their mothers,
and the. jeers and derisions with which
they hailed the crackling ahcl crumbling
cathedral as it tumbled by the torch of the
incendiary, and we have a fair conception
of those who are now objecting to toe
Democratic candidate because of his want
of sympathy for civil and religions free
dom.
The charges against Judge Woodward,
upon which the charge referred to is
based, is, that in 1837—twenty- six
years ago—when Judge Woodward
was not twenty-five years old, he
made a speech in the Reform Convention
of Pennsylvania, which was favorable to
the extension of our laws of naturaliza
tion. This charge was raised against him
in 1852, when he was a candidate for the
Supreme Bench, and he met it fully and
squarely, (we publish his letter in another
column,) the result of which was that he
carried the State by nearly twenty thou
sand majority The desperation of his
opponents now in resorting to this explo
ded. slander, looks as if the Judge's tri
umph at the approaching election would
at least double his former majority. Read
his letter, and then conclude whether he
is, or ever was favorable to any sort of po
litical or religions proscription. Rut Sup
posing that, a quarter of a century ago
Judge Woodward was in favor of extend
ing our naturalization laws; what then?
Ile is not so now, arid that should be suf
ficient ; but one thing they cannot charge
him with, and that is sympathy with the
infamous Kncrw Nothing party. He is
and ever has been a Democrat, which
means that he is favorable to the civil and
religious rights of all his fellow citizens.
Did he entertain other views, he had
plenty of opportunities of joining political
associations able and willing to indict the
greatest amount of proscription upon their
opponents.
But for whose benefit is this slan
der against Judge Woodward persis
ted in? Why for the benefit of Gov.
Curtin, a notorioul Kg:a-Nothing, who
was the very head and front of that mon
strous organization in Pennsylvania. Hie
hostility to foreigners does not date back
to some speech made in 1887, in regardto
naturalization laws. It is to be traced to
his active co-operation with ati immense
secret organization inaugurated for the
avowed purpose_ of robbing by legislation
their fellow citizens of their constitutional
rights. There is no question as regards
Gov. Curtin's position in relation to the
question, which our opponents have urged
against our candidate.
A member of the Know-Nothing order
was sworn never to support a foreigner or
-a Roman Catholic for any office. This
party in 1854, elected their candidate,
James Pollock Governor of the State, and
he immediately appointed, Andrew G.
Curtin, his Secretary of 'the Common.
wealth, Of all the men in the Know.
Nothing party, which swept the State by
37,000 majority, Curtin • was considered
the best entitled to the first place in Pol•
look's cabinet. The reader then can
readily imagine the extent, depth and
genuineness of his Know-Nothing predju
dices. Under these circumstances one
can hardly believe of an effort being made
to obtain votes for him from foreign born
citizens, and that, too, at Judge Wood
ward's expense—a liberal and high minded
Christian gentleman, under whose Admin
istration we will all rest secure, in the
fall and complete enjoyment of all our
civil and religions rights and duties.
A Babel in America
Few American cities surpass Chicago in
the number and beauty of its church edi
fices; and it is stated as a singular fact that
religious worship is conducted there in
more languages than in any other city in
the world. A convocation of all the Chi
cago churches would be Babel renewed.
A person making the rounds of the various
houses of worship would, in a single day,
hear services in English, German, French,
Swedish, Welch, Dutch and Norwegian,
besides some supposed to be conducted in'
unknown tongues.
Confederate Wounded Prisoners
On Monday night twenty-Six wounded
Confederates were brought to Harrisburg
from Chambersburg and , were placed, in
the Cheituut street hospital. Among
themwere two. colonels._ three captains,
one adjutant and the lieutenants. One
of them is Col. Hobert H. Archer, a
.Marylander.
her We did not see the Dispatch on
Saturday, until too late to notice is com
ments upon the Democracy and the war ;
an occasonal correspondent, however, has
relieved di bysending the following com•
municatiOn: •
The Dispatch, of Saturday, has a
very luminous article going to prove that
the Democrats are to blame for this at
tempt to break up the Union. And why?
Because they did not elect a President,
or failing in that, that they did not pre
vent the Abolitionists from'carrying out
their docrines. It says:
" No matter how distasteful the senti
merits of the nresent administration party
may have been to any section of the coun
try, or what the anticipated effect of a
triumph of these opinions may have been,
the Democratic party had within itself
sufficient strength in the campaign of 1860
to have prevented the principles of the
Republican party from being brought to
the test of actual practice."
This sentiment is echoed amidst wailings
and gnashings of teeth by thousands who
were misled in 1860 by just such imprac
ticables as this Dispalot. " Why,: they
cry with anguish and remorse, "did you
split at Charleston ? lou could have
elected any man you pleased and then
this terrible rebellion would never have
taken place." This is the same
principle
with the man who killed his child in a fit
of anger upbraiding his friends for not
preventing him ; " You know I would do
some great harm when in a passion, why
did you not control yourselves, keep calm
and bold me or do me?" Had they not
better ask themselves why they advocated
principles at all that a great many of them
knew would disrupt the Union—tor they
are not all fools—thus trusting entirely
to the Democratic party to protect the
country and them. Why, when the danger
became so palpable, did they not rally to
the'support of a national man such as the
lamented Douglas, and then the over
whelming majority of the popular vote
they could have given him, traitors would
never have dared to cheap, much less
would it have been in their power to in
augurate the most wide spread rebellion
the world ever saw.

Dear Sir f—The undersigned, members
of the Democratic party, beg leave to call
your attention to certain charges now fre
quently made by the Whig presses, against
you, in regard to your views upon the nat
uralization laws, and alleged hostility to
the rights of naturalized citizens. We are
aware that you may justly regard your life
and conduct in the high station you have
occupied, and the boundless confidence of
the Democratic party which you erjoy, as
a sufficient answer to such calumnies.
But the charges are intended to operate
on and mislead persons to whom the truth
is unknown We would, therefore, solicit
trout you an expression of your views on
the subject, if your time will permit, not
doubting that every candid mind will thus.
be satisfied, that by no act of your life
have you been justly chargeable with hav
ing en'ertained met' or measures favoring
illiberal or proscriptive policy towards
adopted citizens on. account of the place
of their birth or their religions oriniona.
Very respectfully yours, .tc ,

Judge Woods% artrs Reply.
PITTSBURGH, September, 14, 1652.
Gentlemen :—The official duties which
brought me to Pittsburgh, keep me con
stoutly engaged. My answer to your let
ter raw therefore be brief.
From my earliest youth to this present
moment, I have been an earnest and
hearty supporter of the Democratic party,
and an equally zealous opponent, so far as
my political action could decorously and
properly go, of whatever has opposed it.
I am not and never have been a " Native
American" in any political cease, more
than I am or have been a Whig, Anti
mason or an Abolitionist.
The charge of "Nativism" is attempted
to be sustained by a motion which I made
in the Reform Convention of IRV. That
was simply a limitation of a motion made
by Thomas, a Whig member from Ches
ter county, and was calculated to compel
his party (who were in a majority in the
Convention,) to come up to the mark ur
back out. They chose the latter brand,
of the alternative, and my motion having
answered its purpose, waa withdrawn.—
The sin of introducing the subject into
that body lies at the door of a Whig, and
not at mine.
The speech so often quoted against me,
lam not reeponaible for. It was introdu
ced into the debates by a Whig reporter,
in violation of the rules of the body, which
required him to submit it for revision be
fore publication, and which he never did.
I made some observations explanatory of
my amendment of Thomas' motion, but
that speech is not a fair report of them.—
My other speeches were submitted for
revision; this one I never saw till the
book was printed, and I have never ceased
to condemn it.
During the session of the Convention,
namely, on the 10th day of January, 1888,
a member in debate alluded to the motion,
not the speech, as indicative of hostility
to foreigners. I promptly denounced the
imputation there, in the face of the Con
vention, as I have done many a time since,
as a gross misrepresentation. See de
bates of the Convention, vol. 10, p.
I have retained the undiminished con
fidence of the Democratic members of the
Reform Convention, several of whom
were adopted citizens, and all of them op•
posed to Nativism. Would this have
been possible if the Whig reports of my
sayings and doings had been true? The
Native American party itself is my wit
ness S-1 Seven years ago I was the caucus
nominee for United States Senator. The
county of Philadelphia was represented by
Natives. They asked me, whether, if
elected by their votes, I would favor their
measures for changing the naturalization
laws. I answered them no, and they
threw every vote they could command
against me, and raised a shout of triumph
over their victory.
You refer to statements in the Whig pa
pers of this city. One of them was shown
me a few days ago, in which was a garbled
extract from a letter written by me about
a year ago, in which I repelled the impu
tation of Nativism as distinctly as I deny
it now. Yet the editor told hi, readers
that the letter contains an admission that
my sentiments were at the time adverse to
the rights of foreign born citizens. A
copy of the letter thus misrepresented by
the Pittsburgh Gazette, I send you here
with in the Keystone of Sept. 23d, 1851.
When men will allow their political pas
sions to. get the better of their veracity so
far as to impel them to acts and associa
tions like this, it is easy enough to under
stand how and why I was misrepresented
by a reporter, of the Convention, whose
motives for doirg so were just as strong
as those which actuate my political oppo
nents now.
Another allegation, that I opposed Judge
Campbell last fall, is as false as any other
of the numerous misstatements recently
made against me. I never opposed any
nominee on account of his birth or religion,
and I supported no nominee last fall more
heartily than I did Judge Campbell.
It is with infinite reluctance that I ap
pear before the public at this time, even
in - self-defense. ;" 49andidate fora judicial
office is, perhaps; inoiii l than any other
candidate, required to await quietly the
decision of the people. lam as sensible
as any man can be, that politics ought to
be kept away as far as possible from judi
cial elections, but the terms of your letter
leave me no choice but to answer: I have
answered by giving you briefly the tenth.
I give it because it is the truth, and I ac
company it with no appeal to patty passion
or prejudice.
If industrious defamation can succeed
in representing me as ever having sus
tained any illiberal or proscriptive is,
then the Truth and a life are powerless
against slender.
There are some presses, and many men
opposed to me in political sentiments,
who are disposed to treat me fairly, and
who will not descend to low appliances, to
accomplish a party purpose. Such men
and presses command my respect. Against
others who are less scrupulous, I have no
shield but the truth and my life , and re•
lying on these, I can afford to await, in
patience, the verdict of the people. Thank
ing you. gentlemen, for the kind feelingl
manifested in your letter, I am, with great
respect.
Your obedient servant,
GEO. W. WOODWARD.

IMPORTANT NEWS,
The Armies of Gens. Bosecrans
and Burnside Moving-
Eirimnitaneons Movements on
Chattanooga and Knoxville.
THE ARMIES IN GOOD CONDITION
AND FINE SPIRITS.
„ &c
Advicei from the army of Gen. Rose
crane to the 18th, and from the army of
General Ilarneide to the 19th inet,, have
been received.
Both armies had commenced a forward
movement
The former is bound to Chattanooga
and the latter to Knoxville.
The troops are in good condition and
fine spirits.
- Roseerans on the War-Path.
We have private advices from the Army
of the Cumberland that make it positively
certain that Itosecrans is again on thewar
path. It might not be prudent, at this
moment, to mention such details as we
have; but this much we may say, that the
advance is under such circumstances and
with such combinations as look toward the
most important results.
We need not say that the operations in
Tennessee will be followed with the live
liest interest by the whole nation. Hose.
crane is on a line of operations where
every step he takes has a moznentous bear
ing, not merely with reference to the spa
call rebel force he may encounter, .but
with regard to the whole theatre of war.
If he takes Chattanooga as his "ohjec•
rive"—and we need not say that he aims at
nothing short of this—we will hale sei..sd
a point whose possession by us will radi
cally change the whole aspect of warlike
operations. Chattanooga is a natural cit
adel in the heart of the Confederacy, and
on the salient angle of the great rebel line
of communications between the East and
the West. This seized, we shall hold in
terior lines and force the rebels to operate
on exterior lines, thus completely turning
the tablcs on them.
An advance by (ten. Rosecrans is also
peculiarly opportune at the present mo
ment, when the aspect of affairs is such as
to threaten a new offensive movement by
Gen. Lee. uf course the rebel chief could
venture on a new invasion only if rein
forced froM the West, and if reasonably
certain of quietude there. There is
the best of evidence that he has been
so reinforced, by at least one corps and
one division from the army of Bragg.—
But the advance of Rosecrans will sadly
disconcert rebel combinations. Instead
of concentrating for an attack on Meade,
Lee will he compelled to huray back the
battalions he has drawn from Bragg, to
strengthen that General to meet the men
acing movements of kosecrans ; for we
believe the rebel military chiefs would soon
er abandon Firginia itself, Richmond in
eluded, than that great stragetic mountain
range, which runs like a wedge into the
heart o (the Confederacy, and on
.which
Chattanooga is placed like a natural bas-
Non. Thu Richmond usurpers would not
be the sagacious military heads they have
proven themselves if they did rict so regard
Gen. hosecians will Lave, in the move
ment row inaugurated, a task that will try
the best metal of his army. The advance
from the line lately gained (we mean the
line from Tullahoma to Bridgeport) upon
Chattanooga will be through a mountain
ous country, excessively difficult to op.,r
ate in, where, if the Klc still in the
heroic mood, they cai. ~rake every defile
and mountain pass a new Thermopylo3.
But he is of the rigl.r pert of " grit " for
that kind of busine3s . and he haaan army

an array to be in—au lo y which has nev

so much as to meet the foe.
The Case of General Milroy.
The court of inquiry to investigate the
evacuation of Winchester and Martinsburg
was in session on Monday. Major Gen
eral R, H. Milroy was before it for several
hours. He presented as evidence his offi
cial report, and gave some verbal evidence
in explanation thereof. He testified Chat
at the commencement- of the attack on
Winchester he had three full batteries,
four twenty-pounder Parrotte, and two
twenty-four-pounder howitzers, all of
which were abandoned after being spiked ;
and also one hundred rounds of fixed ar
tillery ammunition for each gun in bat
tery. When he retreated, on Sunday, the
14th of June, he had left, according to his
testimony, an average of thirty rounds of
fixed ammunition for each gun. A reason
alleged for his abandonment of the guns
is, that the noi , e created by their removal
would reveal their position to Ewell's
corps, and I mboden's, J enkins' and Jones'
divisions, then surrounding him.

LEAVENWORTH, Aug. 22.—From citizens
of Lawrence arrived here for supplies and
medicines, I have gathered the following
particulars regarding the burning of that
city by Quantrell. • •
The list of killed and wounded numbers
some one hundred and eighty, the majori
of whom were killed instantly. The
names cannot all be given now, however,
the houses that remain standing.are filled
with killed and wounded of all classes.—
From the ruins of burned houses charred
remains of other victims are being found,
but one hotel is standing, Qaantrell hav•
ing spared it in consequence of his hav
ing made his home there some years since
without expense, but its proprietor was
shot among most prominent Citizens.
The following are known as having been
killed : General G, W, Callimor, Mayor
the City, and his son; G. G. Town, Josiah
Trash, S. P; Sharpe, Dr. Griswold, Jas.
Eldridge, James Perrine, Col. Stone, and
two brothers named Gill, A. W. Griswold ?
Frederick Kimball, Thonias Murphy, Jno.
Speer and three brothers, Dix Addison
augh, Duncan Allison, George Bart,
Judge Carpenter, Rev. Mr. Snyder,
Aqgust Ellis, Leonard Fillmore, Dwight
Coleman, Lewis Swan, R. Loomis, John
Crane, Levi Gates and two brothers nam
ed Kauge, Jno Evacs, G. W. Bell, Messrs.
Keith, Brown & Dale, Switch Palmer,
Sergeant Demiski, Albock Powers Brent.
These were killed instantly, and most of
them in their own houses with their wives
and children clinging to them while the
murderers placed their pistols to their
bodies and shot them.
The following are mortally wounded :
Mr. Baker, of the firm of Ridenhour
Baker; Mr. Williamson, Geo. Holt, J.
F. Hanson, W. S. R. Lykens. In one
case the guerrillas drove twelve men into
a house, shut them. and burned the build
ing.
The inhabitants lied into ravines and
bushes, and the fiends stood on the banks
and fired into them, killing and wounding
scores. Twenty five negro recruits were
shot. They took all the money that could
be found in the pockets of the citizens and
stole all the ladies' jewelry, even to the
rings on their fingers.
Jim Lane escaped on horseback and
rallied about 200 men with arms, and fol
lowed and overtook Qnantrell, twelve
miles south of Lawrence, when a fight oc
curred, but the result is I.lllkllOWll.
Quantrell is now retreating towards
Missouri, burning everything on his route.
It is not expected he will be intercepted
by our forces, and will r robably get away
without loss. No resistance was made at
Lawrence, the people being shot down as
they ran through the streets in their night
clothes and their bodies thrown into wells
and cisterns.
Tbe citizens have bccu ccpecting such
a raid from threats Quantrell had made,
and had organized military companies for
defense, part of whom had been under
arms constantly, but from assurance that
Quantrell would'ut invade Kansas, their
organizations were abandoned, and the
guerrillas found them entirely defense
less.
A large train left here to ,lity with sup
plies of clothing, provisions, &c., for the
sufferers. The citizens of Leavenworth
have opened their houses to all who choose
to come, and many have availed them
selves of their hospitalities and will be
well cared for. The feeling among the
citizens here is very bitter against the
commanders of this department and dis
trict, for being so wholly unprepared to
meet such an emergency. The Command
ing General was absent from headquarters
and did not know of the invasion until the
destruction of Lawrence was completed.
Everything was done however in regard to
movement of troops to intercept and cap
ture Quantrell, but it was too late. Our
State authorities are now taking the mat
ter into their own hands.
Col. Jennison has been reinstated in
command of. the new Kansas regiment,
and is about starting down the border with
sufficient troops to overcome any force
the enemy can bring against him, and if
not interfered with by commanding offi
cers, raids into Kansas will end with the
present ore.
The men comprising Quantrell's force
are principally those bands of guerrillas
who have been robbing and murdering
along the border for the past six months.
with hut little opposition, and have had
ample time to prepare everything that
would insure success. They are probably
now safe in Missouri with their plunder,
and quietly at their homes as good Union
citizens.
The loss at Lawrence is not less than
two millions, and will fall heavily ou
New York and Leavenworth merchants.
Two banks were robbed of every dollar,
and the third escaped only because the
heat was so great the rebels could not get
the yanks open.
NEW YORK, August 22.—The Poet says
of the draft: No names were drawn to-day
in this city, but preparations are going on
for Monday, and on that day the wheels
in the 4th District, comprising the Ist,
2d, 3d, 4th, sth, 6th and Btb Wards, and
in the 7th 'District the 11th and 17th
Wards will begin their revolutions.
The police and military are making
their arrangements, inasmuch as the 4th
and 6th Wards, which have a bad reputa
tion, and a part of Mackerville, not less
noted, will constitute some of the area of
the draft. Particular care will be taken to
be ready for" dotitingettetee, and -to pre.
serve the public peace.
NEW YORK, August 22.—A Times dis-
patch from Washington, dated the 20th,
says:
The rebel cavalry are engaged in en
forcing the conscription in that portion of
Eastern. Virginia south and west of the
Rappahannock. Some districts are nearly
depopulated of males; none but very old
men, women and children remaining.—
Parties are also scourin g the country for
provisions and forage, taking everything.
There is wide spread suffering, and fear of
famine during the coming winter prevails.
The negroes in that section are being
sent further South to prevent their falling
into the hands of the Yankees.
Army officers, competent to judge, esti
mate the strength of Lee's army at less
than '35,000 men ; within the past three
weeks it has been greatly thinned by de
sertion.
A letter from a prominent officer in
Rosecrans' army says that the whole
country for miles around Chattanooga is
swarming with deserters from Bragg and
Johnston's armies. Both of their com
mands are demoralized, and can no longer
be concentrated. A great many rebel
soldiers come within our lines daily end
surrender. The majority of them bring
their arms with them. Dissatisfaction is
most marked among the Missiseippi, Lon•
isiana and Tennessee troops, who say
they have nothing left to fight far. and so
give up the contest, and return home.
Several Mississippi regiments have re
cently deserted in a body, officers and all.
The feeling among the troops against Jeff.
Davis' government is very bitter, and all
are anxious for the war to cease, and to
return to their old allegiance.
In consideration of the States of Ohio
and Illinois having furnished more volun
teers than their quotas. the draft in those
States will be very light—not more than
12.000 in each—and it is probable the
number each State will be raised by-vol.
unteering., and a draft avoided entirely.
The Herald's specials from Washington
say : Information is current here that Lee's
army bas been moving off from our front
upon the Virginia Central Railroad to
Richmond, but officers arriving here to
night, whose positions in the army enti
tle them to know what is going on, say
no such intelligence is in possession of our
commanding generals.
The Herald has the following, dated
Headquarters Army of the Potomac, Aug.
2 fat : I have information from three differ
ent sources, which leads me to believe
that the rebels have left our front and
gone to Richmond. Deserters who came
across the Rappahannock, say that the
movement of troops towards Fredericks•
burg from Culpepper was only a ruse to
cover Lee's real object, to enable him to
move his troops southward by way of
Gordonsville. Day before yesterday large
bodies of rebel cavalry crossed towards
the Rappahannock at separate fords,
driving in our pickets. They came boldly
out in sight of our lines, and deployed in
five lines of battle order. Immediately
all the corps along the river were put un
der arms, in which position they remained
until morning, when the enemy had with
drawn. A cavalry reconnoissance was
then math), which went as far as Culpep
per, but found no enemy, but on the con
trary, obtained such information as leads
to the belief that the whole force has gone
iu the direction at Gordonsville. The
reason for my belief I am not at liberty to
give.
Richmond papers of the 18th, brough
into our lines, speak most despondingly o
affair 4, but particulaoly deplore the Pros
pects now in view that Charleston nine
fall. A complete panic prevails in Rich
mond to obtain greenbacks. Many deal
ere will take no other money for commod
ities they have to dispose ot.
The Enquirer denounces the Jew spec
ulators rough shod, and classes Mr. Benja
min as the king of the tribe.
CINCINNATI, August 22,—The Gazette
has advicee fvom.Rosecrans' army to the
13th, and from Burnside's to the 19th.—
Both armies had commenced a forward
movement, the former from Chattanooga
and the latter from Knoxville. The troops
are in good condition and fine spirits.
NEW YORE, August 22.—The London
Spectator Bays that the friends of the
rabels have lately paid four millions of
dollars for their friendship. The rebel
loan has tumbled to such a depth as to be
almost out of sight.
NEW 'lons, August 22.—A questionable
dispatch from Philadelphia to•day, say?
Fort Sumter has been captured, and our
fleet is above the forts.
ELECTION NOTICE—An election will
IWbe held in the Board of Tradfr Rooms in
the city of Pittsburgh on Tuesday, the 25th day
