THE BATTLES IS GEOEGIA.
We presume we have now a substantially
correct account of the two battles In Georgia.
The upshot ot the whole is that, after General
Rosecrans held his ground, having severely
punished the enemy, but not being strong e
uough to resume offensive operations in that
vicinity ,he fell back to the better position of
Chattaimooga. There is no doubt that on
both Saturday and Sunday he was greatly out
numbered by his assailants, although we have
no confidence in the report that the latter were
140,000. They also had a great advantage in
their perfect knowledge of the ground, which
enabled them to reserve their attacks until
they had got their men into the very position
they wanted them.
Their tactics were the same tbey had so of
ten exemplified a swift massing of their col
umns on some on 3 point, frequently directed
gainst our batteries, and then, in case of
failure, a rapid change of the charging force
in another direction. They were generally re
pulsed with promptness and effect. In one
casehowever, they met with better success,
which was when a force from our rigbt and
center divisions were in the very act of being
transferred to' the left, our line then being
pierced, and two divisional seperated from the
rest of the army. The remainder of the tight
was, on the part of the rebels, to take com--plete
advantage of this mishap, and on ours,
to repair it and restore the line of defense.
We did not wholly succeed, nor did the rebels
retain their advantage. The night of Sunday
left us in nearly the original position, with the
rebels foiled in their main purpose of attack,
and punished quite as heavily a we.
We rejoice to hear that our'losses, particu
larly in killed, will be much less than at first
reported. The enemy have done their worst.
Their concentrating movements have probably
been going on for months, and they bad as
sembled all the force which their situation
possibly allowed. If they had routed Gen.
Rosecrans, Burnside would have be.-n over
whelmed nest, and we might again have lost
the whole of Tennessee and part of Kentucky.
Gen. Kosecrans holds a strong position from
nhicb he cannot be driven. Reinforcements
re going on, and he will soon be invincible,
aud then we anticipate he will resume bis tri
umphant march in the very heart of the rebel
domains.
WHY A DEMOCRAT 8UPP0BTS CT7ETI5.
The Huntingdon Globe, a journal that was
the accepted Democratic organ in Huntingdon
county for many years, and earnestly opposed
Cnrtin'a election in I860, announces its pur
iose to subordinate the Democratic party to
the interests of the country, and has hoisted
the Curtin flag. It thus sensibly and patriot
ically reasons on the subject :
We are not certain we will be sustained in
our independent course, but, come weal or
woe, we shall pursue just such a course as we
believe will give the most aid to the preserva
tion of-oar Government, and the most effect
ive opposition to the rebellion, traitors and
sympathizers. We have in our midst, and
throughout the country, men who profess to
be loyal Union men men who believe they
are as good Union men as any of those who
have voluntarily offered up their lives on the
battle-field in the defence of our flag, but in
onr opinion they are better party men than
they are either good Union men or good citi
sens. A disloyal man is not a good citizen.
He can bo disloyal, and yet be ignorant of the
fact, lie has always been a supporter of Dem
ocratic nominations, and now that the organi
zation has got into the bands of traitors the
friends of the leading rebels in rebellion a.
gainst our Government he still sticks to par
ty, votes the ticket, and by so doing gives the
rebels as much aid and comfort as he possibly
could were bo an open sympathizer or in the
rebel rtuks. If Woodward should receive a
majority of the votes at the fall election, it
would be received by the South as an evidence
of the votes at the next election, it would be
received by the South as an evidence of the
strength of their friends in Pennsylvania, and
would have the eflect of encouraging Jeff. Da
vis to hold out against the Union army and
the Government. Every vote cast for Wood
ward and the so-called Democratic district and
county tickets will be a vote against our ar
my. Every vote cast for Gov. Curtin and the
Union ticket will l a vote endorsing the char
acter of our army, the war policy of the Na
tional and State Administrations, and will be
received by the rebels as a condemnation of
their treason. Xo man can be a loyal man
who gives the rebels aid and comfort."

' Mr Woodward Makes a Very Small Spesch.
Our secesb neighbor op the street says that
a large meeting was held at Lancaster on
Thursday last and that Judge Woodward be-,
lng present, a speech was demanded. With
the bet. t possible grace, we suppose, the Judge
proceeded to deliver the following specimen
of a very small speech. We cut it entire from
the secesh organ :
"My fellow-citizens It Is with sentiments
of extreme satisfaction that I am able to meet
you iu the county of Lancaster. I came
here for the purpose of exchanging salutations
With you; but, gentlemen, it is understood
that I am to go through this campaign with
out discussing the political questions of the
day. Such was the determination of the Con
vention which nominated me at Harrisburg.
".Never, snce I have held a judicial com
mission, the first of which was conferred by
my venerable friend whoru you have selected
to preside on this occation, have I made a po
litical speech. I am one of those who think
that the judicial office should be held alolt a
bove all partizan passions and appeals. I am
uot here to depart from this rule of mv judi
cial life.
"But I am not unwilling to meet my felluw
citizens anywhere, and to exchange friendly
sulutations with them. Nor will you lose
anything by my leaving political questions to
be ciscussed by the able gentlemen who will
address you, for they are more capable to en
tertain and instruct you than I am.
"It I should be elected your Governor, it
become my duty to discuss these questions,
and I promise you it shall be done at the pro
per time, with great plainness, ot speech.
Immense applause. With these few words
of explanation as apology, I will now retire
and give place to others."
Did any freeman ever before so belittle him
self i " am to go through this campaign with
out discussing the political questions of the day."
"Such was the determination of the concent ion
which nominated me."
How frightfully humiliating is this declara
tion from the lips of a man making such pre
tentions as does Mr. Woodward, aud how dis
graceful to the miserable faction whose tool
he has consented to be.
At a time like the present, when every
heart is pulsating with deep anxiety for a sol
ution of the great questions which are upper
most in every mind, this man, seeking the
first office within the Commonwealth, tells us
that his masters have prohibited bis utter
ance. Aud why? Did they fear to trust him,
or is it that tbey all stand" with him as contes
sed traitors, and yet fear to have the scoru of
the people if they should let their candidate a
vow more openly than he has done bis perfidy?
Give us one more speech like this from
Woodward, and we shall be satisfied.
HOW TO BE RECEIVED.
The Richmond papers, as out readers are
aware, says the Pittsburg Commercial, are ur
ging General Lee to make a fall campaign in
to Pennsylvania and Ohio, to aid in the elec
tion of Woodward and Vallandigham. If he
comes, how is he to be received, is the puz
zling question in Copperhead caucuses. The
leaders would like to meet him with drum and
fife, bonfires and processions; but then, that
might frighten oS Democratic voters who
have not yet turned Copperheads. On the
other hand, to-meet them as loyalty requires
them to be met, as enemies on the battle field,
Copperheads will not. The leaders are in a
quandary; common politeness requires them
to meet them as friends ; patriotism demands
that they be shot down as traitors, and if cap
tured that they be hanged by the neck until
dead. Ii this dilemma the leaders have been
driven, like Judge Woodward, in that state
of blissful neutrality when they do not care
which whips. They dare not invoke blers
ings oa Jetl. Davis' soldiers, and therefore
they curse Old Abe and the tars and stripes.
Please bo consistent. We have it from high
authority that men cannot serve God and
Mammon. But Copperheads think they can
get the credit of being loyal while all their
sympathies are with armed trattois. The
Richmond papers recognize the Copperheads
as their fast friends Northern their allies.
They ask General Lee to make a lall cam
paign for your benefit. Why not then join
Lee's army, and treat your friends as any hon
est man would do ?
A COPPERHEAD 1EICK.
The Philadelphia Bulletin has reliable in
formation that an attempt has been made late
ly, in the Army of the Potomac, by certain
copperhead emmissaries, to impose upon the
troops by getting them to endoise a certain
memorial, artfully framed, acd calculated to
do much mischief. The officers and men
were to sign it, and tbey were also to subscribe
money to carry out the object aimed at ; the
Colonels $3 a piece and so on down to the en
listed men, who weie to give ten cents a piece.
The purpose of the nicmmient was to aid the
copperheads at the election in this State. But
the soldiers discovered the trick, and in sev
eral regiments where it was attempted, indig
nant meetings wero held, and the scheme was
entirely frustrated. The copperheads are re
sorting to every expedient to carry the elec
tion, but this attempt to use the brave soldiers
of the Union is the most desperate of all.
Who are the friends of Andrew G. Curtin ?
Answer Gens. Meade, Hooker, Rosecrans,
Banks, Butler and Grant, and the frieuds of
liberty everywhere. Who would vote for
Woodward if they could ? Answer Jetl. Da
vis and every Rebel in arms against the Gov
ernment. Who will vote for him ? Answer
Buchanan, Ancona, Hngbes, and every cop
pert head in the State who sympathises with
the traitors. This undeniable fact should
cause every true Union man to reflect and re
ject with scorn the bogns Democratic ticket.
The Copperheads held a meeting in Phila
delphia on Thursday evening, and passed reso
lutions declaring the President's proclama
tion suspending the privileges of the writ of
habeas corpus unconstitutional. This was done
in the fact that not six hours before Judge
Cadwallader, a Democrat, had declared in bis
seat that the act was perfectly constitutional.
and had return d certain writs tsken ont the
dev before.
OTJR CANDIDATE FOR SUPREME JUDGE.
As many of our readers may not be familiar
with the history of Hon. Daniel Agnew, our
candidate lor Judge of the Supreme Court, we
present the following brief sketch for their
consideration: Judge Agnew was born in
Trenton N. J., January 5th, 1809. His father,
the late James Agnew, A. M., D, D., of the
city of Pittsburg, was a native of Princeton,
N. J., a graduate of the college there, taking
one of the honors, and classmate with the late
John Sergeant, Charles Fenton Mercer, and
others of distinguished reputation. He was a
roan of commanding personal presence, and of
magnificent intellect. His mother, who is
yet living, and resides with her son, the Judge,
is a daughter of the late Richard Howell, a
Major in the revolutionary war, in the New
Jers.-y line. He was singularly honored for
his services by his fellow-citizens, having
been chosen govei nor of New Jersey nine
times in succession. Mrs. Agnew was one of
the little girls dressed in white who strewed
flowers before the great and good Washington
when he passed under the triumphal arch e
rected on Trenton bridge. Of this scene Ir
ving remarks. ''Never was ovation more
gtacefully touching, and sincere, and Wash
ington, tenderly affected, declared the impres
sion of it on bis heart could never be effaced."
The brothers of Mrs. Agnew, including Major
Richard Howell, so long in the Custom llou.se
Philadelphia, were nearly all in service in the
war ot 1812.
Dr. Agnew moved many years ago with his
family to Western Pennsylvania, and settled
temporarily in Butler county; thence he re
moved to Pittsburg to educate his sons.
Judge Agnew received his at the Western Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, then in charge of
the late Robert Bruce, D, I., and of the late
John Black, D. D., the Hither of the ditui
guished and lamented Colonel Samuel W.
Black. These were noble men, ripe scholars,
being graduates, tha one of Edinburg and the
other of Glasgow University, Scotland. Af
ter graduiting in 18'J5, the Judge studied 1 iw
in the office of the late Judge Baldwin and W.
W. Fettornian. He was admitted to the prac
tice ot law in 1829 and in the same year re
moved to Buaver, Beaver county, Pennsylva
nia, where he has resided to the present time
gathering by his unobtrusive course in his
daily life and by his great merit, influence
W'th his yeuts. No more patriotic or enlight
ened gentleman has ever been presented to
the people of a great and prosperous State
than Judge Agnew. and that he is eminently
deserving of their votes, the most critical op
ponent will uot deny. In fact, the election of
Judge Agnew to the important positten of
Supreme Judge is a foregone conclusion.
"According to the Census of 186iMhe total
population of Kuox township was 421. The
highest vote that township ever polled was 90
votes. Her enrollment was 71 in first, and 16
in second class total 87 only three less tnan
her whole number of voters, and she is re
quired to furnish 21 conscripts.
"Guelich township had a population, accor
ding to the census of 186o,ot 509. The high
est vote she ever polled was l;12. Her enroll
ment was 55 in first, and 28 in second class
total 83 cr forty nine less than the number of
her voters. Se is required tf furnish but 16
concripts." Copperhead organ, Sept. 23d.
The reasons for furnishing the number of m n
specified are obvious.
1st, There were 71 enrolled in the first class
in Knox, and 55 in Guelich tin ee-tecths of
which gives Knox 21 conscripu.and Guelich
16.
2d, Knox is a regular copperhead "nest,"
and Guelich is all over for the Union the for
mer remaining at home, whilst many of the
latter went to the array. To prove this it is
only uecessary to state, that the total enroll
ment of Knox is 87, and her vote last year was
87, the total enrollment ot Guelich is 83,
whilst her vote last year was 126.
3d, At you admit that the enrollment in
Guelich is "doubtless entirely fair and hon
est" because "it was made by Captain M'
Kiernan himself" Knox must be "entirely fair
and honest" too, as that enrollment was made
by him also
Do you understand Messrs. Copperheads ?
FreeLabor in Locisia.sa. The system of
free labor adopted by the planters in Louisi
ana is said to work very favorably. The Yew
Orleans Delta says one year will sliow a won
derful change in the condition of affairs on
the banks of the Mississippi. In those sec
tions where there have been no interruptions
from guerillas, the negroes have performed
wonders in bringing forward the crops. In
many cases a crop of cotton tias been secured
of a good average yield per acre, in addition
to sugar and corn, enough to nearly pay the
expenses of the plantation. Not the slightest
difficulty Ifas been experienced in getting
plenty of hands, and they are easily stimula
ted to work faithfully without apply ing corpo
real punishment The Era thinks more ener
gy and more profitably result will attend the
new system.
Gov. Claris, notwithstanding the war, has
paid nearly a million dollars of our State debt.
Justice Woodward, , by assuming the rebel
debt, would more than double our present
taxes. This fact, now a chapter in the his
tory of as glorious and as just an administra
tion as ever directed the official" affairs of the
State of Pennsylvania, annoys our copperhead
opponents exceedingly. And yet Gov. Cur
tin, by the wise policy ol his administration by
bis thrift and economy by the statesmanship
with which he has guided the State Govern
ment, has enabled the proper agents of the
Commonwealth to reduce the State debt near
ly a million of dollars. The fact is on the re
cord, and the result is too immense to be af
fected by locofoco lying- . . ,

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE JOURNAL.
Ccwepper, Va., Sept. 18, 1863.
Fried Row: I received a letter from a
Copperhead in old Clearfleld.which I want you
to print in your columns, as I want to let the
folks see what kind of venomous reptiles they
are surrounded with, so that tbey can prepare
clubs for self defence that being the only
weapon necessary to make them skedaddle.
The reptile that sent me this letter signed his
name Justice," but if justice was meted out
to bim his name and carcass would be suspen
ded from the strong limb of some tree. But
let him go on. There is a day coming, when
those who have defamed and acted the part of
a traitor to the best Government on earth, will
receive a just retribution the scorn of all loy
al men. This thing, that calls himself "J us
tice," denies emphatically that those who
bought revolvers are traitors. A number of
persons kuow that he paid $16,00 tor one, and
boasted that it was to resist tiie draft; and be
prided himself much for the side he took a
gaiust the Union, aud, for fear he should not
be known, he sent teNew l'ork for a Copper
bead badge. His letter is sufficient evidence
of the sentiments he entertains.
This reptile hopes that "Leo's army may
capture the army of the Potomac in less than
a-week." Ho should come and joiu Lee's ar
my, and assist in accomplishing his wishes.
But there is no danger ot that, for I suppose
he has heard how easy it was for Lee to cap
ture the Union boys at Gettysburg, aud, no
doubt, thinks that his copperhead might come
in contact with some metal in the shape of a
cannon ball. M ister Justice had better sign
his name next time, tor I know him well.
Respectfully yours, Newton Reed,

PuiLirsBCBO, Pa., Sept. 28th, 1863.
Dear Journal: There was such a grand
aud magnificent outpouring of the Copper
heads on the evening ol the 24th inst., that I
must not let the important iucideut in the
history of our town go by without a passing
notice. The grand Uahlis, Sachems,, JJeys
and.snl)ordinatesof the "nest, "have been buiv
for some time past iu heralding forth tht time
and place of ihe meeting. The decree wetit
forth to all members iu good standing, trorii
ihe shades ol Oeeoia to the miasmatic damps
of Hickory Bottom, including the hetivojte
noiis delegation of Hob Town. The evening
came and with it came Billy W. Wall ce !'
voting nay proclivities, aud Father Test of
Dem o-cratic P-a r-t-i e fame as speakers on
the momentous occasion. The drum heal to
quarters at "The Exchange Hotel," headquar
ters, No. 2. But such a motley crowd as as
sembled in a room 8 by 10 has not been se-n
since the da s ot creation. Billy was the hrM
man to say bis say. and he done it up in double
quick time. I piesumo he adapts the length
of his say to the size of the "uest," however,
it was extremely short, almost an short as
when he voted Nay, on giv.ng the use of the
Hall of the Senate to Gen. McClellan and Gov.
Johnston of Tennessee, to make Union speech
es. Father Israel followed in the same old
ver-batim, literatim and oration harrangue
that he delivered iu the school house on his
debut into the political arena. He has altered
it from the Democratic principles-? it theu
contained tosuit the Copperhead emergency.
The whole artair was a grand fizzle, not a
sliout, not u cheer to mark the spot where the
meeting was. all was silent as the rave. One
more such Mass Meeting, and the cataline ot
Hob Town and CoustitutionalClerk.that drew
tip the resolutions will he culled ou to preach
the funeral sermon of Copperheads. r
But as the Copperheads failed, I can assure
you that the Union party brought out an en
thusiastic crowd, at only twelve hours no'ic,
the next evening. It was one of these grand
old fashioned crowds
No pent up room 8 by 1ft contained the erowd
But 'twas a living sea, with cheer after cheer
long and loud.
Adam Hoy, Esq., and Edmund Blanchard,
Esq., of Bellefone, and Capt. U. B. Swoope
ot Clearfield, were the speakers. The two
former speakers have always been identified
with the Democratic party but thvy said they
could not endorse or support any such party
or principles, that have chosen for their stan
dard leaders such men as George W. Wood
ward and Clement L. Vallandigham. They
came out boldly for the Ui.ion, the wiping out
of the rebellion at any and all hazards. It was
a grand sight to see those two noble Union
men come forth from the dark, treacherous
and slimy path the party they formerly sup
ported and announce their dissolution to a
crowd of good and true Uuiou men, except
Cataline, and his guilty few that stood over by
the sign post; Why did you not carry out
your arrangement to cheer 'for Vallandigham,
Mr. Cataline ah ye poor miserable dupes to
suffer yourselves to be led around by such a
traitorous, treacherous and seditious knaves,
go up thou bald head. Cap't Swoope deliver
ed an eloquent and telling speech. The poor
Copperheads crouched to the mother earth
and would have willingly said, open and swal
low me Cataline and the whole nest.
The Union meeting was a complete triumph
and a great deal is due to that whole souled
and truly union landlord James H. Galer, of
the Conrad House. He left nothing undone to
get the notice of the meeting circulated,
though he had but twelve hours notice. But
the LTnion men of old Rush are more numer
ous than the most sanguine expected. It was
the wonder of many, to see so many men who
always supported the Democratic party, take
an active part in this meeting.
The poor copperheads assembled sgain 00
Saturday evening,26tb inst, at the exchange
Hotel, Head quarters No. 2, to devise ways
ad means to buy a drum. I suppose they ate
making preparations for playing their funeral
dirge. Some of the chiefs of Decatur Morris,
and Rush, and the grand Rabbi's or Beaver
Run, including the Mill boy of the laurel,
were present. The subscription paper was
handed round and on suming up, the whole a
111 ou nted to five dollars and twenty five cents.
One of the Rabbi's got up and said they must
have eight dollars, hut he could only get one
"quarter" more and that come from a mem
ber who only a shott time since was at the
charity of our citizens. The meeting disper
sed among grumbling and curses at the pover
ty of the lodge. Leroi.
