UNION STATE TICKET.
' rOll GOVERNOR,
ANDREW . CUKTIN.of Centre County.
JVDGBor SCPREME COUKT,
DANIEL, AGN'EVof Beaver County.
THE COMING ELECTION.
The people of Pennsylvania have now be
fore them a State ticket worthy of their sup
port. Scarcely two months remain for the
true friends of tho Union to labor for tbe suc
cess of thai ticket. 'Our opponents have al
ready had their ticket before the public about
two tuontbs ; aud they have been laboring un
remittingly during that time in perfecting an
organization throughout the State. In view
of these facts it is highly important that the
friends of Curtin and Agnew, the true friends
of tbe Union, should at once "buckle on their
arraor" and organize in tbe most complete
and efficient manner. No greater calamity
could befall tbe Nation than to have Pennsyl
vania's influence lost to the Union cause, and
to prevent such a catastruphy, it is only nec
essary for every loyal man to use the influence
which he possesses. The Philadelphia Bulle
tin iu referring to tho candidates now before
tbe people of Pennsylvania for their suffrages,
say s :
"The re election of Governor Curtin is de
manded by the interests of the people and the
soldiers of the State, for both of whom he has
labored as no man ever before labored. But
it is demanded still more urgently in the in
terest of the national government. The elec
tion of Judge Woodward would cripple the
President more than any other political dis
aster we can think of. The judge is known
to be hostile to the national administration,
and to be a radical States' Bights man, who
would like to see slavery extended, and, if
the Union should be dissolved, would like to
have Pennsylvania go with the South. Im
agine tbe mischief that such a man would do,
if he were in the executive chair of Pennsyl
vania. It would be more disastrous than the
election of Seymour in New York, which has
already resulted in frightful riots. Pennsyl
vania must not be put in an attitude of even
seeming hostility to tbe national government,
while this terrible rebellion is going on: II er
people are loyal ; but tbe demagogues that
control the Democratic party are cunning and
deceitful, and tbe man that tuey bave put for.
ward as a candidate for Governor professes
tbe doctrines that the demagogues and trait
ors of South Carolina put in pi act ice, when
they voted that State out of the Union, lie
would not veuture to declare the State wholly
independent of the fcdeial authority ; but he
would unquestionably do all in bis power to
embarrass the President and to deprive hiiu
ol the support of Pennsylvania in carrying cu
the war.
"In opposition to Judge Woodward we have
in nomination Audrew G. Curtin, the true
and loyal patriot, who has done more than
any other Governor to sustain the national ad
ministration ; who has labored night and day
iu the Union cause;' who has devoted bim
self to the interests of the soldiers in tbe field,
and who bas maintained tbe honor and credit
of Pennsylvania untaruished, during a period
of greater trial than was ever known in our
history. State pride and national pride both
demand bis re-election. lie can be elected
by an overwhelming majority, if the people
will only awake to a sense of tiio importance
of the contest. The two months that remain,
in which to do tbe work of tbe campaign,
should be employed by intelligent and loyal
men everywhere, in organizing, in working,
and in disseniiuating information among the
masses. . The Democrats bave got tbe start
of us in this; but they can be overtakeu,with
proper energy, and' in October we may be
able to gain a victory which will be as severe
a blow to tbo rebels at tbe South as to their
allies, the traitors of the North."
THE "DEMOCRACY" AND FREE SPEECH.
In 1855, tbe test of "Buchanan Democracy"
was the support of the policy of forcing sla
ver; , into Kansas. , Tbe M issouri "Democrats"
adopted a "code" for Kausas,aud Bucbanau
sent an army there to enforce it. . Below we
give a copy of one of, tbe- sections of, that
"code:" ........ ? ..... .
"If any free person, by speaking or writing,
assert er maintain that persons have not the
right to bold slaves in this territory, or print,
publish, write, circa late, or cause to be intro
duced Into this territory, any book, paper,
magazine, pamphlet, or circular, containing
any denial of tbe right to bold slaves in this
territory, such person shall be. deemed guilty
of felony, and punished . by imprisoument at
bard labor lor a term of not less than two
years." ... ,
But we bad not a word then from tbe now
Copperhead press , about the great righ of
free speech and a free press. ,
A Union meeting was held at Washington,
North Carolina oa tbe 11th, at which strong
resolutions in favor of tbe old Union and the
National Administration, and in denunciation
of tbe Rebel government and Northern Cop
perheads, were adopted. .. -

THE EUFFEBISGS IN EAST TENNESSEE
The late rebel conscription seems to. bave
been the only act required to complete tbe
ruin of East Tennessee. The able-bodied
men had either been forced into the rebel
ranks or made their escape. The rebel
government now demands the services of all
between the ages ol forty-five and fifty-five.
A requisition has been made by Davis on Gov.
ernor Harris for 6,0i0 of this class, and, as
many will escape, this number will take a
bont all that may be left up to filty-fie years.
Recent accounts show that the attempts of
conscripts to escape are met by the most wan
ton cruelties by the rebels, who do not at
tempt to . take them, but shoot them down
like wild beasts whenever and wherever found .
The inhuman slaughter of these unfortunates,
occurring daily and opeuly, is absolutely
horrible, and would be incredible but for the
testimony of scores of witnsses who have ar
rived within our lines. A Lexington (Ky.)
correspondent says :
"Neither this war nor auy other can surpass
the inhuman cruelties practised by these reb
els in East Tennessee. Even this last con
scription act is intended and employed more
88 a cloak to their barbarities than to obtain
soldiers, since it furnishes excuse to seize
property, hang, kill, and vent the most infer
nal passions with impunity. Boys under
twelve years have been shot on their knees at
their mother's feet ; Union men, old and
oung. bave been shot and hanged in the pres
ence of their agonized wives or mothers, fe
males have been brutally murdered for con
cealing their sons or husbands, or violated
in the presence of .heir bound and helpless
male protectors. Rapine, pillage, arson, r ipe
and murder are no longer crimes in East
Tennessee, and no rebel soldier has yet been
punished for any offence against a Union man
or woman. And these are the demons who
prato of tbe rights and superior civilization,
who northern peace Democrats think are
wronged, and to whom northern mudsills
should submit the control of the government."
A ' C0PPEEJ1EAD" DICTIONARY.
Noah Webster's Dictionary having become
rather fogyish, for Copperhead ism, tho
SandusU-y, Ohio, Register announces a '-splinter"
new concern. which, it says, "has brought
into vogue an entirely new class of meanings
for numerous old aud well understood terms."
A few "specimen bricks" will enable our
readers to understand this new Copperhead
nomenclature :
"Free Speech." The right to preach trea
son during the progress of a monstrous rebel
lion. "Free Press." The right to advance the
cause of traitors aiming at the lie of the na
tion. "Political Preachers." Preachers who fol
low the example of those of the last war, and
staud by the Government in its efforts to put
down the rebellion.
"The Constitution as it is." Amended in
vital parts, or totally abrogated as far as it
renders the Union perpetual, according to
Vallaodigham's propo-ed amendment.
"Supporting the Government." Preserv
ing silence as to those seeking lo destroy it
and waging an implacable warfare upon those
constitutionally charged with administering it.
"Sustaining the Constitution." Declaring
everything unconstitutional, which is thought
needful to suppress the rebellion.
"Pre-eminent Loyalty ."Pursuing such a
course as is pleasing in the eyes ol Jeff. Da
vis and bis advocates of despotism in Europe.
Theso are but a few of the new renderings
which Yallandihaiu and bis advisers have
gotten up under the inspiration of Jeff. Da
vis and tbe rebellion. They are at least ap
proximately correct, and type the whole cata
logue which might be made up from their
speeches and declarat ions.
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE.
That George W. Wood ward, the copperhead
candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, con
ceived and advocated a measure for the entire
and unconditional disfranchisement of the
adopted citizens of Pennsylvania.
That the aforesaid George W. Woodward,
also sustained tbe decision of the Democratic
majority of the Judges of the Supreme Court
of Pennsylvania, (of whom he is one) to the
tfiect, that the soldiers of the State who are
absent fighting the battles of the National
Government, forfeit their right to all partici
pation in the government of Pennsylvania.
These are historical facts,and place Georgo
W. Woodward in the position of antagonism
to tbe free exercise of tbe franchise by free
men. . . , . .
GENUINE "COPPERHEAD" CREED.
In a recent speech at Bucyrus, Ohio, a Mr.
David Tuttle, a regular Copperhead of the Val
landjgham stripe, made use of the folloing lan
guage :
"Gentlemen, before we goto tbe ballot box,
we ill put on the catnip" box : and for one,
I declare I owe no allegiance to Abe Lincoln,
Dave Tod or Jesus Christ ! Men of Crawford
County! take up your amis and keep your pow
der dry."
"Can this bo frue V "Of course it can !"
Then it is but fair to infer that the above is a
true definition of the phrase, "resisting the
Government at the ballot-box," of which we
have he'ard so much from Copperhead speak
ers, even here in Clearfield. ..Will the hon
est loyal men of our county bear this in
mind ?

War Department, J
Provost Marshal Gen's. Office,
Washington, July 17. V
Circular No. 47.
1. Drafted men become soldiers in the ser
vice of the United States, by the fact of ttieir
names having been drawn in tin- draft.
The notification served upon them by the
Provost Marshal, is merely an announcement
of the fact of an ordei for them to report for
duty at a designated time and place.
2 The following opinion of the lion. Wm.
Whiting, Solicitor ol the War Department,
is published for the information of all con
cerned :
When a person has been drafted, in pursu
ance of the enrollment act of March 3, 1863,
notice of such draft must be served within
ten days thereafter, by a written or printed
notice, to !e served on him personally, or
by leaving a copy at his last place of resi
dence, requiring him to appear at a desig
nated rendezvous to report for duty. . Any
person failing to report for duty aftel the po
lice bas been left at his last place of resi
dence, or served on him personally, without
furnishing a substitute or paying $300, is pro
nounced by law to be a deserter. He may be
arrested and held for trial by court martial,
and sentenced to death.
If a person, after being drafted and before
receiving notice, deserts, the notice may still
be served by leaving it at his last place of res
idence, and if he does not then appear in ac
cordance with the notice or furnish a substi
tute, or pay tbe $300, he will be in law a de
serter, and must be treated accordingly.
There is no way or manner in which a per
son once enrolled can escape his duties, and
when drafted, whether present or absent,
whether be change his residence or abscond,
the rights of the United States against him
are secured, and it is only by the performance
ol his duty to the country that he will escape
the liability to be treated as a criminal.

The following Opinions of Col. Joseph Holt,
Judge Advocate General of the Army, are
published for the informal ion and guidance
of all officers of this Bureau.
The only son of aged aud infirm parent, or
parents exemption.
Opinion "The only son of aged and Infirm
parent or parents is not exempt unless his pa
rent or parents are dependent upon his labor
for their support. If he is in a condition to
support and does support them without his
personal labor for that purpose, he is subject
to draft, because he is in a condition to per
form military service without depriving his
parents of th support the law designs to se
cure to them. The parents need not be whol
ly dependent on the labor of their sons for
support. If they are so dependent for the
principal part of their support the right to ex
emption arises."
In the case of a widow having four sons.
Opinion 'In the case of a widow having
four sons, three of whom are already in tbe
military service, the fourth is exempt, provi
ded his mother is dependent on his labor lor
support."
In the case of a widow having two sons, one
ol whom is already in tbe military service.
Opinion "In the case of a widow having
two sons, one of whom Is already in the mili
tary service, and the other has been drafted,
the latter is exempt as 'the only son liable to
military duty,' in the sense of the act."
In the case of aged or infirm parents having
two or more sons subject to military duty.
Opinion "In the case of aged or infirm pa
rents having two or more sons subject to mil
itary duty, election of the son to be exempted
must be made before the draft. ... If
one of only twosons of such parents is already
in the military service, the other is exempt,
provided his parents are dependent on his la
bor for their support."
Of persons having conscientious scruples in
regatd to hearing arms.
Opinion "Persons having conscientious
scruples in regard to bearing arms, are not or.
that account exempt. They are not round in
the list of exempted clast.es, and the act ex
pressly declares that no person but those enu
merated in that list shall be exempt. The So
ciety of Friends, and others entertaining sim
ilar sentiments, if drafted, may find relief
from their scruples in Ibe employment of sub
stitutes or in the payment of three hundred
dollars."
Of a man whose wife is insane.
Opinion "The children of an insane moth
er, who may at any time recover her reason,
cannot in the seuseof the law or with any pro
priety of language, be termed 'motherless
children.' The father of such, though they
may be dependent on his labor for their sup
port, cannot therefore claim exemption from
the draft. The case is a hard one, and would,
probably, have been provided for had it been
foreseen. It is, however, tbe law as it is, and
not as it may be supposed it ought to be, that
is to be enforced."
Of a father having four sons, two of whom
have died in the military service ; also of
Aned or infirm parents electing which of two
sons may be exempt.
HjOpinion "In case of a father having four
sons, two of whom have died in the militarv
service, it seems clear that the remaining two
are not exempt from draft. Before such ex
emption can be allowed it must be shown that
the father has. not has had, two'sons in the
military service. So tbo law is wiitten.
Congress might well have accepted the loss of
twosons in the field as equivalent to their
continuance in the service, and therefore se
curing the same privilege to their family, but
this bas not been done. To bold otherwise
would be not interpretation, but legislation."
"In the case of aged or infirm parents hav
ing two sons subject to military duty, the fa
ther, or if ho be dead, tbe mother may elect
which of them shall be exempt. Tbe right to
this exemption does not rest upon tbe parents
dependence upon the labor of their sons for
their support. The law does not contemplate
any such dependeuce." James B. Fry,
Provost Marshal General.
' It seems then that the words declaring tbe
parents to be dependent on the labor ol the
sous for support, may be omitted wherever
they occur in form No. .26, and that Note 2
on that form is abrogated so far as it relates'
to cases where a choice is made as to which
that rav
of fwro or .more sons liable to military duty
shall be exempt ; which cases are still the on
ly ones in which any papers need be filed be
fore the draft.
Forms for all other exemptions, not from
physical causes will be published before the
draft is ordered for use if necessiry after the
draft. - II. S. Campbell.
