NCOIVDITIONAL LOYALTY
As long as the Administration comes
fully up to the exactions of the radical
Abolitionists, they can see no difference
between it and the Government ; but
when it departs, in the slightest degree,
from their extreme policy, its weakness is
not only acknowledged but vigorously con•
demned. The Commercial of this city—
with its numerous gifted minds—which has,
since its existence, blustered more "loy
alty," than any other paper we know of,
was, on Tuesday quite savage, demanding
the breaking up of the Administration,
which, according to Abolition logic, is
breaking down the Government. It is no•
torious that the radicals gave the Admin
istration no support, until the President
adopted their extreme notions. Even
now, notwithstanding his adopting all the
extreme doctrines of confiscation, emanci•
nation and negro equality, the extremists
are as discontented es aver, because the
President will not take part with the Ger•
man infidels of Missouri, in their efforts
to carry locol elections. The radical press
of Bt. Louis is shamefully abusive of him,
far worse, indeed, than any Democratic
paper has been. The Abolitionists, in
fact, seem determined to own the Admin
istration, and to do all the grumbling
against it themselves. The foilowing from

Rebel Cavalry Threatening Grant's
Communications.
Loutavrus, Nov. 2, 1868
The Journal learns that B. D. Lee,
Wheeler, Shoddy and Forrest are in the
neighborhood of Decatur, Courtland aid
Tuscambia, South of the Tennessee river,
with a combined• force of 15,000 rebel
cavalry, prepared to operate on the line
of Gen. Grant's communications.
A party of Wheeler's scouts were cap•
tnred in Maury county, Tennessee, recent•
ly and sent to Nashville.
Forrest is reported to have been wound
ed again in a battle near Tuscumbia, on
the 24th ult.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 23, 1863.
The Question as to the ilkiadona of
Holding Chattanooga,
I hear no ci:tifirmation of the statemett
which I had heard, and which I sent you
a few days since, regarding the difference
of opinion said to exist between Generals
Thomas and Rosecrans upon the subject
of holding Chattanooga. Bat additional
facts which I have obtained, and some of
which it will not do to publish, are very
significant. Bat the danger comes not,
as one would be led to surmise from my
former letter on this subject, from the
movements of the enemy so much as
from the scarcity of provisions and forage.
I,am told that the animals are living on
quarter rations, and that many cannot
obtain that insufficient supply. There is
an order that private animals shall not to
allowed to go from Stevenson to Chat
tanooga, and only the pack mules which
carry the supplies to Chattanooga are per
mitted to cross the mountains. The troops
have a sufficiency of the rougher rations
of hard bread and pork, and semi occa
sionally a ration of fresh beef. Flour and
meal are hard to get, and what (wk.
reaches the besieged city gees to th, h, -
pitals. It remains to be seen if this soar
city of forage and n.ovisions is to drive
out of this portion of Tennessee we have
paid so dearly for.
The Railroad trona Bridgeport to
Chateau aoga.
The opening of the railroad from
Bridgeport to Chattanooga must be tin
dt.rtakeu very soon, or I tear matters may
assume a bad shape at Chattanooga. The
army cannot be suppileti daring the wi-,
ter solstace by the present means. i pr .,
sumo that au effort will be made by the
Eleventhcorps to cross and open this
route within a short coon cc the
railroad bridge at ii:idsc i ,cr is tint-bed
An engagement of minor importance will
doubtless follow any dsmonetratiot a look
tug towards this issue. It will a.co be
necessary to take possession of the ‘m al
mit of Lookout Mann:Rip, and an encai.e
went of greater or lei's iiiiner,alp:.B may
oe expected there. At any rate comm .1.
sense declares that the railroad must b,
opened before winter sets in, arid (lie
army supplied by that MSZIA or tho p- -;
tion must be evacuated.
Gen. Burnside MODBICOIi by Bragg
But if there is any truth in the
ment which I heard this morning horn
one of Grant's staff officers, it Lippe irc
that Bragg does not intend to depend el
tirely on General Starvation to drive
Thomas from Chattanooga. This state
meut was to the effect that a corps
Bragg's army was pushing up the valley
towards London and Kingston with the
:mention of attacking Burnside. This
movement on Thomas flank by a portion
of Bragg's army is not unexpected, and
the information is startling only because
we are told that swell is is command. It
was said that Ewell was engaged in the
Chickamauga fights. but this was a falla,”
already exposed But of late we have
been told that Ewell's corps had movrd
to Bragg's aid, and now comes this posi
live statement that the same commander
has moved up the valley. We shall prob
ably hear further from this story in a day
or two.
Interruption of Rotliron4 Co mmunioa
tio z.
As the telegraph has informed you the
railroad communication between this
point and Stevenson is very much inter
rupted. No train has left here for the
South since my arrival, except one yes
terday, which returned after having gone
ten miles southward. We have the prom
ise of a train tomorrow, but there is little
or nothing of interest here, and certainly
no other attraction which would make the
plane a delightful winter abode.
A Branch War Office to be Established
at Nashville.
It is stated here that, in all probability.
Assistant Secretary of War Dana will
make his headquarters here and establish
a branch War Office, in which be and
Gen. Meigs will represent the Administra.
tion. It is also thought that Grant in
person will remain here. It is believed by
all that the active operations of the season
are over. and efforts will be confined to
preparations for active labor in the spring.
The labor of organising Thomas' army
and keeping it alive are of a herculean
character, and one in which General
Thomas will not be envied.
Rebels Blowing up Locomotives with
Torpedoes.
Of late the rebels have been using tor.
pedoes in a new manner, and to-day sue
ceeded in blowing up the third locomotive
within lour days. A train was blown up
near Corran to-day andentirely destroyed.
The torpedo was placed on the track and
under a bridge or culvert.
Hirum Ketchum of New York
This gentleman, than whom, no men in
the State occupies a more exalted posi
tion for worth and purity of character,
addressed a communication to the editor
of the New York Evening Post, request-
ing to know by what authority the editor
of that paper denounced him as a "cop
perhead.- Instead of copying the note,
the editor comes out with another article
reiterating the charge, upon which Mr. K.
addressed a note to the Journal of Com
merce, in which he says :
"It any man has urged a vigorous pros
ecution of the war with more zeal than I
have let the 'Post' point him out. If any
man has condemned the rebellion more
than I have, let him be named. Willa I
have done is on record, where it was in.
tentiOnally placed to meet the charges
which a licentious press like the 'Post' is
capable of making. It is also on record
that I have criticised the acts and the
policy of the Administration with perfect
freedom. Especially, and somewhat at
large, have I censured that Administra
tion for its course and conduct towards
Major General McClellan, and I intend to
say more on the same subject." *
"It is also true that I voted for Horatio
Seymour at the last annual election, and
it was the first time in a life not short
that I ever voted for a candidate fr , r Gns•
ernor of the State of New York' Eomina
ted by the Democratic party. I did I,N
deposit that vote without the most matur,
consideration I was able to give the
subject, and I did not decide to do no
until the candidate had publicly given ut
terance to sentiments on the duly of thc:
Government of the most patriotic. charac
* * * * *
•`I here publicly declare that I do not
regret having voted for Horatio Seymour
to be the Governor of my native State.
This declaration I maka not as a member
of the Democratic party, for I have never
united myself to that party but on my
own responsibility. On any proper occa—
sion I am willing to defend this position
by a critical review of Gov. Seymonr's
course since he last entered upon the
duties of Governor."
!THE readiest and best way to find out
whet future duty will be is to do present
duty.

So much for one phase of the war ; now
for a :1-lance at another. The pro-alavery
;:cpi •- - head parts- of this State are known
to bare been holding meetings secretly
fir some time past, bat where and for
what ~ p ecial purpose they very carofully
key. from those they knew not to be in
ry apathy with them. The secret has at
last leaked out. Un Wednesday evening
last a gentleman, well known to your cor
respondent, was invited to attend a meet
ing in the supper room of the Masonic
Hall, St. Charles street. He went, and
there he found, much to his surprise, a
party of some twelve or fourteen holding
a caucus for the purpose of nominating
members of Congress and also members
of the State Legislature. Among the
pa.rtic- resent I may mention a few
nnnars :—Col. A. P. Field, the lawyer,
was in the chair ; J. Q. A. Fellows, attor
ney ; Geo. S. Lacey, attorney ; Julian
Neville, auctioneer ; Dr. Ames, bosom
friend of Hugh Kennedy, editor of the
True Dela, Dr. Riddell, formerly United
States Postmaster here, afterward Con
federate postmaster, and some others of
l es , c .te. Of course, Dr. Cottman and
yltils fay lor are earnest. supporters of the
party. Now fur the platform of these
men. it is nothing less than attempt to
t the old State maellitie, with all its vil
mainces laws and edits, In full operation.
The way is which they purposed to ac
complish this is one of the moat daring
and audacious pieces of villainy and fraud
ever attempted. It is a scheme as deep
laid and as damnable as that by which the
slave party sought to fasten slavery upon
Ka..aas . and unless the free State men
ortb are prompt in rendering the neces
‘ary assistance to the free soil men herr
may lead to consequences as fatal as Dr
Coltman threatened, when he, a couple ct
moths ago, said on the streets of New
York, "that our streets would flow with
hJore the slave party here would
give up their right _
In a speech by Mr. Fellows at the meet
mg before alluded to, he asserted that they
have been some mouths perfecting their
ar,ancemienis to obtain possession of the
cv:l pow r of the State and have mem
the floor of Congress, and that
Mr. Emerson htlaeridge, :In Clerk of the
House, is pledged to lend these men all
the assistance in Ls power ; that Mr. Sew
ard and Mr. Bates favor their plan, whi,il ,
is that they are to meet on the first hi- n
day of November in this city and in :he
• parishes of the State, and, in con
:urmity .Nott., the law of the State, proce: , ci
to t , Id ,lection fur four members of
for each district, under he
o'd . one on general ticket ; also
gem fns for the State senate and Amen]
y. Lie) , are to appoint their own corn
rrs stud make their own returns.
• c,s they say, "of their rights
milzens. ' and Mr. Etheridge is to
.'rive them upon their own credentials
• the house is organized. Mr. Pel
w= told them that th, , Democrats of the
North were with them in this move, and
would support their claims if challenged.
they hone by these means to elect Eer
na co \\*. Speaker r.t . the House. They
• tl.a. the ,-;,r about
the Jersey more than twenty
year, m.g • . known as the "Bread Seal Con
troversy, cieudy establishes the right of
the Clerk of the Howe to admit any dale
gation to a seat until the House is organ
!Zed upon such credentials as he may think
proper.
A,l th it nominations for Congress and
the State Legislature are made. Colonel
A P. Field is named for one, Michael
li:slit: for Another, of the members of Conn
green.
As might very naturally be ekpected,
these men are unscrupulous, They do
net heratate to say that which is talse to
induce people to act with them. Among
other things they pretend that Gov( raor
Sheple - ; approves their mode of operation
and has promised that the y shall be per
mitted to go on with the election though
he has never said or assented to anything
of the kind to any one. This WE know,
because he has been waited on refirecting
1 the natter. They even go further, and
I dare to use +Le came of the Commanding
General in the same manner, wli,ch, of
course. no one for a moment believes .
Should these men really be insane
enough to undertake the carrying out of
their programme, and encounter no oh.
stades from the authorities, which I do
not believe, you may expect a repetition of
the Kansas frauds. What the free State
man will do in the premises I cannot say.
The idea of a clique of men meeting in a
private room in. St. Charles street. setting
themselves up as superior to the Governor,
going through the farce of an election,
appointing their own commissioners and
making their own returns, is too prepos
terous for belief, were it not vouched for
beyond question to say nothing of the con
firmation of the facts, by reason of their
calling upon one or two men to consent
to be candidates for the Legislature.
From what we learn of'the hopes and
asipimions of Corse men, it app.iars that
this dodge to retain possession of the
State power. is only the entering wedge.
Rebels at heart, but satisfied that the Con
federacy an impossibility, they are
'good Union men' who desire to have
the' 'Union as it was, after they have
done all in their power to destroy it. They
are anxious that Louisiana should take the
lead, and ''there is no doubt but Mississip
pi and the other States will in dne time
follow' their scheme of reconstruction of
the Union, with slavery in all its pristine
glory. They even say that General Grant
and other cffi-ers under him are pledged
to their c.upp-,rt Elew far this may be I

Disunionists
From the N. Y. Journal of C,inmer,!e
4adical news' apern are pi:Wishing. Mr.
Mason's 1 tter, with'' comments, and
most common remark they rnali. Is,
"who can now doubt that there was. a
Southern plot as long hack as the Fre
mont campaign to destroy the Union ? '
Who ever did doubt it 7 These radicals
act as it they had jest woke up from a long
sleep, or opened their eyes to a light
they sever saw before, and they are shout
ing to the world as a discovery what their
conservative friends told them years ago.
When the "Union•savers" of 1864 RI d
later said their was danger of a dissolutir n
of the Union, the radicals laughed and
pretended to despise the prophecy. t ,-
have before us various specimens of ti,e
ridicule with which they received the ai•
surance of the danger. But they were ,n
the plot themselves. Southern disunion
ists never could have accomplished their
aim without the aid of the Northern rad
cals. The two parties hated the Union
with cordial hatred. Both were dater
mined that it should be destroyed. The
Southerners went about their work in the
most wily and secret manner. The North
erners were more open, It is instructive
to look back to 1869 and the plots of the
Northern disunioniste then. They held
their meetings all over' the North, undis
turbed. If any attempt was made t i n
terfere with them the radical newspapers
were fierce in defending the right of the
people to bold such meetings. , such a
meeting was held in New York at the I
Cooper Institute, December 16, 1859, It
was so boldly treasonable in its character
that even the New York Times condemn
ed it, fearful of its ill effects on the party
which it emanated. Bat the Tribune de
fended it, first by declaring that it: was
not what the Times said it was, and sec
ond by declaring that even if it were a
meeting of dieunionista "they had a right
to entire immunity from interruption or
disturbance." Read the following extracts
from the Times of December 17. and Tri
bunt of December 19, 1859, and ponder
on the boldness of the Northern plMstre
against the Union, who claimed a right
to immunity in all their plots, however
treasonable in its character. What would
the Tribune say to such doctrine now, if
any secessionists claimed it in New York
as a right of free speech ? How would
Fort Lafayette and the Old Capitol Priecn
eject their victims if this doctrine were
now adopted T
From the Times. Dec. 17th, 1859.
"On Thursday night, a meeting was held
at Cooper Imnitute, openly and avowedly
in denunciation of the Constitution and
the Union. There could be no mistake
whatever about the spirit and tempor of
that gathering. Yet for this the Tribune
has no syllable of rebuke--nothing but
admiration and sympathy."

From Ile Tribune. D?o. 19, 1959
— The meeting of last Thursday night,
at the Cooper Institute, was not held
`openly and avowedly in denunciation of
the Constitution and the Union.' The
majority of those who participated in or
spoke at it were not disuniorusts at all.
But, even if they had been, they had a
right to entire immunity from interrup•
tion or disturbance. Those who went
there to annoy the speakers, or drown
their voices, were rioters, and should not
only have been put out, but kicked out.
'The. right of the people peacefully to as
amble' and discus: all matters affecting
their welfare, is A NATI:MAL, SAcRED AND
PRECIOUS RIGHT, which shall at al/ times,
and all hazard, command our 'admiration
and sympathy.' Enough for to day."
Enough, verily I Yet from year to year,

The Vote in Allegheny County.
To THE EDITOR OF THE PITTSBURGH
POST : —The table below analyzing the
vote in Allegheny county shows some in
teresting results, teaching an instructive
lesson to those who desire to learn how
the election was carried in this county by
such a largely increased vote for Curtin :

Curtin's nett gain 1080
The vote of 1880 was the largest ever
cast in the county, arid:since then we have
lost by persons gone to the war and left
the county, ntt less than five thousand
voters; what person possessing proper
judgment and facility to ascertain the
facts will pretend, that any legitimate au
ce.eion to our voting population has been
made to make up the loss and in addition
ncrease it by more than twenty six hun.
dred votes' such an assumption is simply
preposterous.
Take Allegheny city for instance; with
au increase of seven hundred and twenty
eight votes, this, deducting those known
to have left the city since 1860• would re
quire nu addition to the pollglist of at
!east I,soo—where did they come from?
In the First Ward, Pittsburgh, Curtin
received nearly one hundred votes more
than Agnew, and Lowrie one hundred and
one more than Woodward—such a die.
crepancy has not occurred in any other
election district in this State and reliable
men sufficient, have sworn to facts which
pro;: that no such discrepancy existed in
the votes offered at the window in this
Ward.
The t6till vote in Wilkins township in
18110 ws 301, and in 1863 it was 076, or
r.rarly donble the vote cl 1861. It is well
knitwn that there hoe been no each in
crease in the voting popula•ton of that
district, and it is equally well known that
soldiers in the vicinity voted, without a
legal residence, wi•hout assessment and
without paying taxes. Thus, in the two
districts, of Wilkins township and the
First Ward Pittsburgh, frauds were petra
ted making a difference of four hundred
in Curtin's majority It is probable that the
programme of fraud was a little overdone is
these districts, but taking into consider.,
tioti the ascertained facts here and in oth
•
er, wards, it is fair and reasonable to sup
pose, that the entira Curtin gain of 1803
votes in Allegheny county, over the vote
of 1800 is the result of fraud upon the bal
lot box.
Dedu2tmg Curt;r: a apparent gain of
180;5 votes, and further, the one hundred
taken from Woodward in the First Ward,
we have for Curtin's majority in Allegit°
ny county, five ttousand, seven hundred
and fifty-two.
These are reascnab;e a•nd legit ima t e
conclusions from the manner in which the
0p;.,.,;:i0n used their power, in not al
lowirg a..y Dem_erat to talce his seat an
an I :ticer o the eleethou, where they has
th , power t.) exo;ude him from their as
se-sing voters atter the time had elapsed
when they could legally do so.
We heard of and knew throughout the
canvas. of lit.rge additions to our vote
, rom thre opposition, whilst the changes in
favor of Curtin were no few that they were
hun!,cl up in order to make them conepic
uone
hy thruetiug office upon them.
The arbitrary assumptions of power by
ifis Admii...tr. !ion Jiad its Fiii,‘t upon the
ano so did the czpoitition by the
r;aserte of Gov. Cue tin but the patron
age et the Governor, the profuse use of
money, and the fraudulent practices of the
oppoe.iuon, was too much for the voluntary
efforts ni fir, cpi.re.-ned people. M.
General Einell.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE PITTiIiCRGE POST :
—lt seems by news from semiofficial
seurces that this dir-tirguihed officer has
hear. acquitted by the, Court of Inquiry of
ail the charges broyglit against him. It
is understood, to his praise be it said, that
General Thomas, new in command of the
army formerly corn mended by Buell, de
clined to take command in place of Buell
at the time thelatter WRA relieved. Events
of the last year will suggest to those who
bare followed carefully the history of this
army, i_:.n.ses for the deposition of General
Burl! for which that 'officer is not at all at
fault.
It is scarcely to be expected that this
officer will be completely vindicated by
publication cf the proceeding before the
Court of Inquiry, or by assignment to a
command commemorate with his abilities
—this administration makes no such ac—
knowldgement of, nor reparation for, its
mismanagempat of public affairs, or its
injustice to incli.tidu als. Public opinion
seems now to acknowledge that this officer
has been wronged.
Tt may not be out of place to state !pre,
that beforo (3 . . Buell was assigned to
command in Kentucky, he commanded a
division, afterwards known as the let
Division :A the 4th Corps. Probably no
officer in (he service took more pains in
the discipline of his troops than General
Buell—by day, he was attending to the
routine and drill of the Division ; at day
dawn, he was found in the camps of the
various regiments of his division ,• at
night he visited the pickets, and no trifling
or expedients eould escape his observation
or his censure—he appreciated merit and
stimulated attention and improvement,
and rebuked idleness and dissipation.
His peculiar merits were felt and ac
knowledged at the West—the cele;ity with
which he brought his army to the relief of
General Grant at Pittsburgh Landing, as•
tonisbed and overwhelmed the enemy
and the military combinations end strategy
by which Braga was driven from Ken
tucky, will, when analyzed and viewed in
the calm light of history in the future, be
considered as among the most successful
and able achievements of the war.
General Buell is in a fair way to be yin
dicated if not rewarded by his country
men, even if denied, like hundreds of his
compatriots, justice from the administra—
tion.
