CLEARFIELD. PA.. OCT'R 2. 1862.
- TEX USVLT XV CLF.A11FIF.LD COTTOTY.
- The election is now over, and tbe Locofoco
majority returned at about 850 and that of
Xr. Wallace at 1002. This is about 800 mora
than we expected. . We are satisfied that
good portion of tbia. majority ia made up of
Illegal votes, ran in by tbe desperate exertion
of part managers. In tbia place we know of
pomber of illegal votes, receded one of
them a abeep drover by tbe name of Hyatt,
wboae residence (with that of bia family) is
, in Clinton county, bat who happened to be In
tbia county a couple ef weeks buying abeep.
, Some of tbe Loeofocos finding that be would
. rote their ticket bad hia name put upon the
assessment list of Clearfield borough, and then
brought him op to rote. Although tbe vote
, was objected to, tbe majority of the election
board admitted it. It was a brother of tbe
Locofoco candidate for Senate that brought
, tbia man to tbe polls, and bis father, who
was en the election board, was tbe most clam
orous favor of receiving tbe vote. But, aa
the old gentleman ia frail aod childish, and
hence unfit for an election officer, we attribute
bis eagerness to receive tbe vote to an error
of judgment. After the vote was taken, the
sheep-drover jumped into his boggy and lol
lowed his drove out of town ; and that, per
bapa, ia the last we shall ever ae of him.
, A wind mill pedlar who, with bis family
lives in Bradford county, happened to come
Into our county in hia peddling expeditions,
wsa picked up and his vote shoved in by the
same parties in tbe same way. These are but
two examples of some six or eight of the kind
played off in this borough and, for aught we
know, were received lu accordance with a for
mar Very liberal decision, that "the true intent
"and meaning of the law ia. that no democrat
"should be cheated out of bia vote." Nodoubt,
llleg.l votes were polled in other districts, as
the efforts of tbe opponents of tbe Adminis
tration were unscrupulous and unremitting,
not only here, but throughout tbe cointy.
' Some Republicana, chief! v in Clearfield bor-
ugh and Karthaus township, appear to have
4tf'ott lor Mr. Wallace and an occasional one
may have been deceived into voting the whole
Locofoco ticket, but this number we think is
few. Tbe nfcrober of votes polled is rather sur
prising. It is over 300 more thsn last year,
and since laat year we have lost about 800
by enlistments in tbe army. Considering the
efforts of oar opponents, their majority in the
county might have exceeded our estimate,
but still it would hare fallen much short of tbe
present figures, if all Illegal votea had been
rejected.
Tb Elections. From tbe returns received
we learn that the elections in Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana have resulted in favor of the
Breckinridge Democracy. What effect the re
salt In these States will have upon tbe present
financial condition of the country, and upon
the rebellion, remains to be seen. We have
conducted tbe present political campaign up
on a single issue tbe restoration of the Union.
If tbe people hare been deceived into the sup
port of men whose sympathies are with the
re beta rather than with tbe Government, and
if their election works to the detriment -of tbe
Union cause, let the responsibility rest where
It belongs we have done our duty. We had
thought that tbe treasonable effort or F. W.
. Bugbea to "switch" Pennsylvania out of tbe
Union would be too large a dose for tbe hon
est portion of tbe Democratic party, but it
seems that we were mistaken in this, as many
of them have evidently given their influence
to tbe enemies of tbe Government. Pennsyl
anlania baa Buffered much since the rebellion
has broken oat, but many of ber citizens do
sot seem to tally realize her past sufferings,
and hence their recent decision at the ballot
box. With them be the responsibility.
Bat, "if Pennsylvania has bad her share of
privations and sacrifices in tbia alavebolding
rebellion against the freest Government on
earth, Indiana and Ohio have had theirs. The
Republicans and loyal . Democrats in these
States (aa well aa in Pennsylvania) volunteer
ed by thousands, and tbe result ia tbe triumph
of tbe so-called Democracy in both. It is
worth something to remember that the Breck
Inridgers elected to Con gi ess from these two
Sutes generally outbid tbe Union candidates
la professions of devotion to the Union. Bow
such men can bold seats in the National Le
gislature and vote against tbe Government is
problem which tbe future must solve." In
tbe meanwhile, let ns hope that before the
Congreee assembles; to wbtcb these men have
been elected, tbe rebellion will be crashed
and the Union restored.

W. C. Grier, a State Senator from Kentucky
was sufferer by Morgan's recent Incursion
into that State. He says
Morgan cursed the men for taking me pris

shoot me down at algbt. ? He then opened my
store door, and told hia men to rifle it of eve
rytbing they desired, and then set fire to it
I implored him not to do so, ss it was near
my dwelling, that it also would be consumed
I informed him of the condition of my wife
for myself I asked nothing, but I begged of
bim, in common humanity, not to destroy my
wife and little children. He answered with a
fiendish ostb, that be intended to born every
thing I had ; he would put fire to my house
and burh my wife and children up In it he
would wipe out the whole Abolition concern
This threat wss applauded by many of bis men
who said they went in for killing men, women
snd children. I was then placed upon a horse
without a aaddle, and conducted to the fiont
oi tneir column, and ordera were given to
shoot me down if fired upon bj tbe bushwhack
era aa they styled tbeni. I assured them tbey
would be fired upon if tb people had any
spirit, and 1 believed tbey had. When they
saw tbe conflagration of their homes, they
would waylay and fire upon them, even if their
number was ten times greater. After firing
my property, he (Morgan) rode past me and
said, pointing to tbe flames, 'Ton find your
loyalty to the abolition government pretty ex
pensive, don't you 7" '

with tbe rebel cavalry on tbe occasion of their
recent raid to that place, had a good many of

rarity to them. Col. McCJure writes to a
Philadelphia friend a kindly account of their
visit, and of bia free conversations with them.
He says :
"When told that I waa a decided Republi

when, in reply to their inqniries, I fold them
that I cordially sustained the President's
mancipation Proclamation, they betrayed a
little nervousness, but di1 not fot a moment
forget their propriety. They admitted it to be
the most serious danger that hat yet threatened
them, but they were all hopeful that it would not
be sustained in the AbrA with sufficient unanim

Since tbe trophies of the battle gronnd have

The subject m-Jter of tbe President's eman

many a passing moment. Paidon me for al
luding to this, for f presume that the subject
has now got so old. and civilians have formed
their opinions past conviction to the contra

for the time being, have their opinion pre
sented to the public through that very reliable
channel, "Our special Correspondent," who
is generally reliable when there is only one
side to the subject all of which are now laid
on the shelf.
My opinion is, and also the opinion of every
soldier with whom I have conversed, that
tbe friends of the Union will see the wisdom
and propriety of letting the document disen
gage itself from any number of "bnthwhtick

moral power; and those who think to inter

very pleasantly, and. I have no doubt, that the
enthusiasm ol the troops (that greeted them)
would stimulate these high officials more than
ever in their determination, to use all the
means in their power to effect a speedy ter

think those who are now seeking prominent
public positions at the bands of tbe people, in
consideration of their opposition to everything
that looked to the speedy crushing of this re
bellion, would bo taken down like the south-
ern rebels were when they were about finish
ing the invasion of Maryland. That voice,
from such a band of patriots, would seem to
'hese con-spirators like the upheaving of some
mighty volcano, aod they would be forced to
cry out in the bitterness or disappointment,
"save me from the indignation of those I had
presumed to be my friends." I would like
very much to record my vote this fall in fa

Deab Row : I will not presume to give you
an account of the rebel raid into tbe Comber-
find Valley, but i would lie far from the truth
to sav that it did not, even among veteran
troops, produce an excitement. It did pro
duce an excitement here, not from the num
bers reported to tie eng-tged, not from any lear
that the enemy was about to attempt the re-
inv isfon of this state, but from the extreme
daring which projected the act, and the rapid
it. with u Inch it was carried out. When it
ws reported that Chambershiirg had surren

regiment is made up of six con-panics from
Blair and four from Huntingdon coenty. In
one of tbe Blair county companies are several

PETSIOTf FIB MOTHERS OF SOLDIERS.
Commissioner ot Pensions, Mr. Barrett, has
addressed the subjoined full and satisfactory
letter to one of tbe numerous correspondents
who have written, inquiring as to the mode of
establishing claims for Pensions in behalf of
mothers or soldiers, deceased in the military
service of tbe United States, under the act
granting Pensions approved July 14th. 1862.
Psssiom OrricB, Oct. 18, 1862.
Sib: To tbe several questions contained in
your letter of the 10th inst., concerning the
Pension Claims of mothers of deceased officers
snd soldiers, who have left neither widow nor
minor child, I reply, in no case will tbe de
pendence of the mother upon her son for sup
port, whether wholly or in part be taken for
granted on the mere affidavit of the claimant.
Tbe allegation must be sustained by positive
proof that she baa actually received ber sup
port, during a stated period, either wholly or
in part, from the deceased soldier on account
or whose military service she presents her
claim. This can be proved by tbe affidavits
or two credible witnesses who are not inter
ested in the result of the application by the
production of evidence, that a portion or the
soldiers pay, by abatumeot ticket or other
wise, was regularly transmitted to the mother
by proof tbat he constantly paid or contribu
ted towards paying her board, house rent or
other specific and necessity espent.es, or by
such other equivalent testimony as will clear
ly establish tbe fact in question. It is not
sufficient that the mother received occasional
presents from the deceased. If tho mother
has a husband living, that fact is regarded aa
prima facia evidence that she was not in any
degree depeudant upon ber aon lor support.
Io4uch case, before she can be admitted on
the pension roll, it must be clearly proved thst
ber husband has refused or neglected to pro
vide for her support, staling for hor long a
time on account of physical inability to labor,
having no other source of income, or else that
having deserted her, be is beyond the reach
ot legal compulsion to contribute to her main
tenance. . Tbe proof required iu this case is
that two creditable and disinterested witness
es, who must state their means ofknnwing the
facts to which they make affidavit. ; It ia my
opinion tbat if the mother of a deceased sol
dier baa a husband living, wbo is not proved
to be responsible to support ber, and in such
a situation that abe cannot enforce her legal
claim upon him for subsistence, she ia uot en
titled to receive a pension by reason of tbe
service and death of her aon. A proof of the
mother's marriage to the father of tbe de
ceased soldier is regarded aa indispensible,
and tbe fact should be established by record
evidence. . When that can be obtained, if tbe
marriage took place in a foreign country a
record ol the baptism of any child of tbe par
tiea will be accepted in place ot the marriage
record, if tbe latter cannot be obtained with
out great inconvenience. If either cannot be
obtained, an affidavit to tbat effeet, a private
letter, or tbe evidence of common reputation.
ehown by two creditable witnesses, having no
intetest in tbe result, will be received.
