TIIE WAR NEWS.
Gen. Rosecrans is still at Chattanooga. No
change has taken place in the situation of the
two armies. Our army is in good fighting
trim, compact in organization, well supplied
with provisions, has plenty of ammunition,
and is full of confidence. Rosecrans is re
ceiving reinforcements. The casualties of
the late battle at Chicamauga creek are given
as follows: Killed 1,800 j wounded 9,500; ta
ken prisoners 2,500 ; total loss 13,800. . The
rebel loss is said to be about 20,000.
Charleston. We have no news of great
events from this place. Gillmore is still en
gaged in perfecting his fortifications on Mor
ris Island. The rebels keep up a fire upon
him, but with no effect. Gillmore throws an
occasional shell at Sumter, Johnson, and oth
er rebel fortifications, to let the enemy know
that be is still on hand. The lron-clads pay
their lespecfs to Moultrie frequently enough
to preveut the rebels from making repairs
aud strengthening their position.
K Ai'PAHAWocK. This poi lion of our army
seems to bo lying quiet. No advance has
been made beyond !u Ipepper.
COPPERHEADS AVD THE SOLDIL'ES.
At the '-protracted" meeting of the Copper
heads, held iu the Court House on Wednesday
evening, the principal speaker Mr. Xoithrop,
soul in subsidies ;
"That the time was approaching hfn the
people of Pennsylvania would bo called upon
to vote upon some amendments to the Consti
tution that it was all wrong tor the soldiers,
who were from home and in another State, to
votv thai that matter should be left with
those who remained at honiu and he would
advise every Democrat to vote against the
amendments, tor what right have the soldiers
to vote "
The above sentiments of Mr. Northrop are
in perfect accordance with the decision of Mr.
Justice Woodward,disfranchising the soldiers,
uud with the principles of the party of which
he is the standard bearer. They are opposed
to the soldiers voting. because they know they
wiil not vote tot Woodward. They are opposed
to it, because they desire t do everything to
make the life of the soldier revolting.that th
Government may have the greater difficulty
in filling up the arnifes. They will, however,
be disappointed. They will discover that a
majority of the citizens of Pennsylvania are
loyal and true, and that they will accord to
tli" sohiiers the right to vote, by an amend
ineiit to tile Constitution, and so forever put
it out of the power of such men as Mr. Wood
uanl to deprive them of the privilege.
S0LDIEK3' EIGHT TO VOTE.
The following j7rucf from a section of the
Election Lawsot Pennsylvania, in relation to
troops, has been g'ling the rounds of the Cop
perhead papers of the State :
"Xo body of troops in the army of the U
n lteil S tales, or ol this Com in on weal I h, shall be
present, either armed or uiierini'd, during the
time of such election."
The whole s'.-ction can bo found i:i t?ic --Di-
st of Elections Laws, with which each Elec
tion Bjjiu is furnished, on pages 15-5 6, sec
tion 29, and reads as follows :
'Nobody of troops in the army of the Uni
ted States, or of this Commonwealth, shall be
prcsi nt either armed or unarmed, during the
lime of such election ; ProeiUd, That nothing
hv-ivii. contained shall be so constructed as to
prevent any officer or sol Her i rorn exercising
the right of sutlraire in the election district to
which he may belong it oth.-rwise qualified
accord itig to law."
Why did they not publish the whole of the
election, instead of a garbled extract t The
.nly reason we can assign is, their desire to
produce thejfalse impression that soldiers have
no right to vote, even if present on the day of
electon, in the district to which they respec
tively belong. It is a shallow device to de
prive the soldiers of their right of suffrage.
"WOODWARD VS. W00D"C7AKD.
On the 26th of September, 18t;3, in a letter
to 11. E. Sharpley, Esq., of Carlisle, Judge
Woodward says :
So far from avowing belief in Secession, or
favoring recognition ot the Southern Confed
erate', I am, and always have been, opposed
to both."
In DecciFbcr 1860, Judge Wodward,in his
speech in Indepeiidi ace Square, Philadel
phia, said ; f ;
"We near it said let the South go peacea
bly. I say let her go peaceably."
Will any intelligent man presume to deny
that George W. Woodward did not belieee in
Secession when he made the latter declara
tion ? Is it not fair to Infer that he favored
recognition of the Southern Confederacy ?"
Then was he always "opposed to both ?" Wo
think not. , , .-.
Honest Pennsylvantans, we ask you in all
candor, what confidence can you place in a
Judge of the Supreme Court, who w ill make
such reckless assertions as the foregoing, lor
the purpose of ailing his election to the
chief Magistracy of this glorious old Common
wealth 1 '
Is it t'Ot somewhat instructive and signifi
cant, that up to this period no German patriot
has spoken in lavor of Woodwabp? Why is
this? ,1s it liecause all the Germans fight

C0MIIT3 EVENTS CAST THEIS SHADOWS
BEF0EE THEK.
A private letter from a gentleman in Cleve
land, Ohio, referring to the canvass in that
State, says :
"Possess your soul in abundant peace as to
the result In Ohio. 'She follows Calfornia
and Maine. Our people are. thoroughly &
roused, and our speakers fully at work. Our
meetings of from four thousand to twelve
thousand occur every day in the week, and
we have just commenced. Vallandigham will
be defeated by one hundred thousand major
ity." Colonel MiC'nre, fhe senior editor of tlu
Chamberstmrg Repository, and a -member of the
Union State Committee, in answer to numer
ous inquiries from correspondents, says:
"Many have written, askiug as to the cou
ditton of the State. To all such we can an
swer, once for all, that all signs must prove
deceptive if Governor -Curtin shall not have
fiom twenty-five thousand to fifty thousaud
majority in the State."
T3S V0ICS AND THE ECHO.
If any candid man can longer doubt the
close sympathy existing between the leaders
of the Woodward party iu Pennsylvania and
the leaders of the rebellion, that doubt ought
to he resolved by the following extracts, one
from Woodward's cotton speech and the oth
er from Jeff Davis' organ. They are as close
ly in sympathy as cause and effect or the voice
and its echo:
THE VOICE.
We must arouse ourselves and re assert ihe
rights of the stavehol ier, and add such guaran
tees to our Constitution as will protect his
property from the spoliation of religious bigo
try and persecution, or else we must give tip
out Constitution and Uiioh." George W.
Woodward.
THE ECHO.
The RKCcf t of the Democratic party would be
no longer duultlful should Gen. Lee once mure ad
vunce 'on Miade. Let hiiu drive Meade into
Washington, and he will again raise the spir
its of the I)riiiocra!s,conjirin their timid, and eive
comidence to their wavering." Richmond Eu
quuer, Sept. 7.
JTJ235 LOVBIE'S DISLQY A f-TY. .
At the Union meeting in the 3rd Ward,
Allegheny city, on Monday evening of last
week, the Hon. Thomas J. Digham related
the following incident, on the authority of
Mr. Ciezier, ajid a number of citizens f
Mount Troy :
'On the morning of the 4th of July last,
two Union soldiers called at Judge Lowrie's
residence, and stated that they were hungry,
without money, and asked lor breakfast. The
Judge appearing at the door, ordered them in
a sullen, peremptory manner, to leave his
premises. Some altercation of words ensued ,
when the Judge added that he would prefer
giving bread to lebe Is rather than Union sol
diers." Mr. B. said he made this statement at the
request of the parties, who were present and
ready to vouch for its truthfulness. It would
seem from the above that the Supreme Judge
candidates of the Copperheads are both very
A MEAN FEAUD.
The Copperhead organs in their desperate
etiorts to obtain the sanction of respectable
ami responsible names to prop their falling
cause, are publishing a letter of Gen. Cass,
endorsing their extreme peace and dirteating
doctrines. It is only necessary to say that
Gen. Cass, who writes the letter relerred to,
is not General Lewis Cass, the sterling old pa
triot and Democrat, of Michigan, who resign
ed from the Cabinet of James Buchanan. at the
time the O- P. F. was selling out the country
to a pack of traitois and doughfaces ; but Gen
eral Geo. 'V. Cass, ot Pennsylvania, a very
different person. The Copperheads must be
iu a bad way to resort to sucli a miserable
tiick aud counterfeit us this.
Gen. Cass, the Statesman and patriot, is no
bly supporting the Administration in its efforts
to suppress the rebellion. lie is a war Demo
crat not a copperhead.
ANOTHER DEJCOCEAT.
Col. Thomas C McDowell, heretofore con- I
n. cted with the Patriot and Union" of liar-
risburg, and who was Lieutenant-Colonel of j
the 84th Kegime.'it Pa. Vrol., has announced I
his adhesion to the causo of Curtin and Ag
uew, and is now stumping the Slate for the
Union candidates. In a speech at Beaver he
said I hat
"It was the duty of the North to show the
South that they were determined to pnt down
the rebellion, and that the loyalty of the Nor
thern Democrats would be demonstrated in
the suppoit of Cfhtis."
Everywhere we hear similar declarations.
The people are rising. The Democratic mass
es with all their love for tho organization,
cannot be brought to endorse its complicity
with wiong,and we see theni everywhere bold
ly spurning their party allegiance, and giving
their voice to the cause of the Uuion. The
ice is breaking, and fhe fide will soon be over
the land.
THE EFIC0?AL CHUSCH ON SLAVE B.Y.
The Copperhead organs have been publish
ing a letter from one Bishop Iloykins, on the
Divinity of Slavery, which h is called forth an
indignant protest from nearly the entire body
of the Episcopal Clergymen of Eastern Penn
sylvania, headed by Bishop Potter. We quote
from the Protest as follows :
"This attempt not only to apologize for
slavery in the abstract, but to advocate it at it
exist in the Cotton States, and in States which
sell men and women in the open market as
their staple product, is in their judgement un
worthy of any servant of Jesus Christ. As an
effort to sustain, on Bible principles, the States
iu rebellion against the Government, in the
wicked attempt to establish by force of arms
a tyranny under the name of a Republic whose
corner stone" shall be perpetual bondage of
the African, it challenges their indignant re
probation." Smart For the Republicans to get some
person to throw bad eggs at their speakers,
and blame it on the Democrats." Clearfield
Republican. .
What Republican got the son of one of the
editors of the abovo sheet, to engage in the dir
ty business alluded to I Perhaps the father
can tell. Such a miserable cover for a most
coutemptible and dirty act, needs no' answer.
It is difficult to tell which is most dastardly
the act itself, or thenU tempt of the Clearfield J
Republican to get ria of IIS conscquein.es. .
A PACT.
One of the secrets ol the opposition of the
Copperheads to the soldiers who fight "the bat
tles of the Union, is undoubtedly because
these soldiers believe that if they support or
sympathized with Woodward, they might
thereby induce Lee to make another invasion
into Pennsylvania. The Copperheads might
as consistently ask the soldiers to sympath
ize with Lee as with Woodward.
We presume that the editors of the Clear
field Copperhead will endeavor to make capi
tal out of the teport of our meeting publish
ed in the Press. No doubt the editors will
say it was written by a citizen of ClearGeld ;
but for toe benefit of the public we will state
that Mr. Forney seut one of his corps of re
porters here, and he alone is responsible for
the report .
A SCAEE.
The Copperhead organs are publishing a
statement that the Government is about to
make another Draft ot Gi0,(00. This is ut
terly and entirely false. A despatch from
Washington states that -no additional Draft
is coutemplated." The story is got up for
political purposes, and is on a par with many
others they have manufactured out of the
whole cloth.
A Democratic Convention in New NorR
recently passed a resolution in which it favor
ed the "immediate withdrawal of every Fed
eral soldier from the Southern soil. This is
the belief of the the Democracy in Pennsyl
vania, as well as New York the only differ
ence being a mere question of courage.
"There are moie Democrats upon the U
nion ticket than upon the Copperhead, de
ducting the Know-Nothings and backsliding
fVeesoilcrs on theirs." This is the evidence
of Daniel S. Dickinson, and we answer for the
truth of the statement as applied to Pennsyl
vania. EEMEMBEB, TAX PAYEES
