VICTORY CERTAIN.
From all parts of the country we have the
most cheering assurances of final and deci
sive victory. Grant, and Sheridan, and
Sherman, and their hrave boys, are daily
holding such mass meeting?, and making
such speeches, as insure the defeat alike of
Copperheads and Rebels. AHover the land
the loyal masses are aroused, and are earn
estly at work to render our triumph signal
and glorious. In Philadelphia they are hold
ing a 'protracted meeting' in Concert Hall,
which is nightly filled to its utmost capacity,
and often overflowing, until the streets for
squares are packed with dense crowds cheer
ing Lincoln, Johnson and the Union ! They
assure us that in his native city, Little JIae,
will be beat by over ten thousand majority !
In Pittsburg and Allegheny, Copierheads
hare almost entirely disappeared, and the'
rote will bo nearly solid for the Union ticket.
From all parts of the State, we have news
that the canvass goes bravely on, and that
we shall carry it next Tuesday by over forty
thousand majority. In Ohio the Copper
heads refuse to take bets on sixty thousand
for tho Union ticket. In New York the
tide is all one way, while Gov. Seymour and
Fernando Wood hang their heads in shame,
before the thoroughly aroused indignation
-of the loyal masses. Even New Jersey as
sures us that she is tired of being the only
Copperhead State, and will this fall stand
side by side with her northern sisters in giv
ing the last crushing blow to the rebellion.
Senator Scovell declares that Xew Jersey is
safe for the Union ticket. The harbingers
of victor' are on every side. I t only needs
that we should be faitldul, earnest, and true,
to secure the overthrow of all the enemies
of the country, in one final and glorious
victory.
H0N.G.W.SC0PIELD.
Friends of the Union ! llcmember that
Hon. G. W. Scofield is the Union candidate
for Congress. Be at the polls early on Tues
day next, vote for him, and use your influ
ence in his behalf. The country needs the
services of tried and true men. such as Mr.
Scofield has proved himself to be. He has
faithfully stood by the Union in its severest
trials. By his votes in Congress he sustain
ed the National Executive in its every ef-
. fort to subdue the Rebellion, andfsupported
all measuresto raise men and money, and
other materials of war and defence. He vo
ted to increase the pay of the soldiers, and
spoke words of encouragement to our bravo
National defenders, thus showing his love
for the Union and our free institutions.
: -Now, friends, we appeal to you once more
in Mr. Scofield' s behalf. It is your duty, as
well as your privilege, to work and vote for
the tried and true men of the Nation. Then,
go to work at once, and never cease your la
bors from now to tho day of the election.
The welfare of the country, and of your
families and friends, demands that you
should make this sacrifice. Will you do it?
We trust you will !
LET THEM BE WATCHED.
Tho Union men should carefully note ev
ery deserter and drafted man who has failed
to report, that offers to voto at the election,
and immediately give such information to
the proper officers as will secure their arrest
They will thus do themselves and their coun
try a service. Every man thus arrested will
lessen the quota, and save another man
from the draft. Let it he attended to.
THE DRAFT THIS WEEK.
The "bloody wheel," as the Copperheads
prefer to call it, has been in motion this week,
and a large number of the citizens of this
county are drafted. And now the question
is, who is responsible? In Uurnside and
Guelich townships, both Republican, the
quofas are both entirely filled. -1 hey lis
tened to no counsel to resist the draft, but
went earnestly to work, laid their tax, got
the men, (nearly all among their own citi
zens, at :O0 each,) and need not now fear
the ' 'blood v wheel" and its consequences.
Not only can they rest in peace and quiet
ness, but they have the proud consciousness
of knowing that they have obeyed the law,
sisted the Government, discharged their
whole duty as good citizens, and contributed
to the overthrow of this fiendish and cause
less rebellion.
On the other hand, the Pemocratic town-
chips have taken the advice of Wallace and
Bigler not to contribute another man or an
other dollar to the war. They have made
no effort to fill their quotas, while the very
leaders who counseled them to the course
they have pursued, have got exempted or
put in substitutes. To save their broad a
cres from taxation to raise the quotas, they
advised their followers to resist the draft.
The consequence is, that the draft has come,
and while the leaders are safe, their deluded
followers will be compelled to leave their
families and homes, and go into the army.
How long will the Democrats in this eoun
ty permit themselves to be thus deceived ?
How long will they continue to bring such
consequences upon themselves, merely to
save the coal and timber lands of their weal
thy leaders from taxation ? These lenders,
and they alone, are responsible for the draft.
J id !t not been for their advice, every tmcti-
ship in the county would hucejilled its quoin,
just as easy its Giulich and Jjiirni-ide hare
done it. Had it not been for them, Clear
field wovdd have done its whole duty, and
would not to-day have the reputation abroad
of being a disloyal county. Whatever may
result from the draft in Clearfield, the res
ponsibility will rest upon the Democratic
leaders in this Borough.
"A Fair Election or a Free Fight."
The burthen of the speeches at the recent
Copperhead demonstration in this place,
was a fair election or a free fight. -Now
what constitutes a fair election? Was not
Mr. Lincoln fairly and constitutionally dec
ted? Why then did Breckinridge their de
feated candidate, with Jeff. Davis, Floyd,
Yauey, Mason, Slidell, Benjamin, and all the
leading Democrats of the South, refuse to
submit to it, and inaugurate the ''free fight'
in which the nation is now engaged? Aro
we to understand by tho declaration, and
the threats of "blood"' made by Witte anj
Wallace, that if Mr. Lincoln is again elect
ed fairly, and constitutionally, the Copper
heads of the North will initiate tho exam
pie of their brothers of the South, and re.-
volt ? Messrs. Wallace, Witte, Biglcr& Co.
may as well understand once and forever,
that tho loyal masses are not to be frighten
ed into the surrender of their principles an
their manhood, by any such rebel trick.
We want a fair election, and we intend to
have it ; and if it should result in the choice
of McClellan and Pendleton, we intend to
submit to it, as loyal citizens should do,
We don't want a "free fisht" or any other
kind of a fight, but if it must come, we wil
endeavor to be prepared for it, aud then wb
be to those whose semi-treasonable speeches,
and advice and counsel brought it on ! The
may rest' assured they will not escape the
responsibility or the consequences. If, as
they warned us, "blood will flow," they may
rely upon it, that their blood will run as wel
as that of the Union men.
None know better than the men who talk
in this way, that nobody, unless it be them
selves, intend to interfere in the election
It will be held precisely as all other election
have beeu held, subject to the same rules
and otectcd by the same constitution am
laws against interference or fraud. And no
loval citizen will refuse to submit to there
suit, be it what it may.
THE PERSONAL-FAVOR APPEAL.
As usual, tho Cops are making persona
appeals to Union men asking them to vote
'for the Cop candidates on personal grounds
ana because such candidates reside in Clear
field county. In this way many Union men
have heretofore been induced to vote for the
opposition candidates and to the detriment of
Union principles. We hope this will not be
the case this year. The great interests of the
country demand, that every true friend of
the Union should so cast his vote, as to throw
the weight of moral suasion against this pres
ent wicked rebellion, that is waged by trai
tors to destroy our Government. Union
men ! stand by your country, and cast your
votes for the whole Union ticket.
The Boston Commontcealth, a unique.
semi-literary, eccentric, independent news
paper, hitherto opposed to Mr. Lincoln
now endorses him. In its last issue it makes
this pithy point:
"They seem to think differently now aiu
ignore the. general issue. He mean to hoi
them to it. 1 he people mean it Here it is,
Lincoln, Union, and Liberty: McClki
lan, Disunion, andSlavery! Choose ye.'
THE DRAFT NOTICES.
The notices to tho drafted men will be
served in a few days. We learn that the
lists are prepared, and the notices will be
ready by Monday or Tuesday next.
M'CLELLAN AND THE PLATFORM.
In our issue of September 14th, we sub-
etantially argued that there was a perfect ac
cord between the Chica'go Platform and Gen.
M'Clellan's letter of acceptance or, to re
peat what we then said, that uen. jj. iJel-
an and Seymour, Wood & Co., understood
each other fully, and are playing a "confi
dence game," by which everybody else is to
be cheated and thev jointly benefitted. That
we were not mistaken in our view oi tins
. . . i . i -
point, we are now prepared to show l3' so-
called "Democratic' testimony. The Daily
Intelfiyeneer, the organ of that party in
Lancaster, says :
"Some of our Democratic friends are in
clined to the opinion that Gen. McClellan,
in Ins letter ot acceptance, repudiates the
platform adopted by the Convention which
nominated him. We cannot, for the life of
us.see disagreement between the two. If
there he any at all, whieh we do not admit,
it must be a 'distinction without a difference,'
and it would puzzle a Philadelphia lawyer to
point it out. Both are tor I eace, compro
mise and a restored .Union under the Con
stitution difrerinif somewhat in phraseolo-
, it is true, but both aiming at the same
glorious result. There is no conflict be
tween the platform and the letter, and we
are verv sure nothing ot the kind was inten
ded bvGen. McClellan."-
The Reading Gazette, edited by J. Law
rence Getz, a well known politician of Berks
county, and who at one time was Spqaker of
the House of Representatives at Uarrisburg,
takes the some view of the subject. In a
leading editorial, in his issue of the 17th of
Sept., the editor the Gazette says :
"These are the main points of the Plat
form and the Letter of -Acceptance compa
red : and he who can discover any contra
diction in them, is a much shrewder and
more subtle critic than we. The truth is,
the two documents do not conflict, in any
important particular, but harmonize as f ul-
iy as any two papers, upon similar subjects,
emanating from different minds, can bo ex
pected to do.
In an article on Yallandighani, in the
same paper, the Gazette editor says:
"The letter neither adds thereto or takes
therefrom: but is in strict accordance with
Gen. McClellan' s previous record, both in
word and deed. The charge that his letter
repudiates the platform adopted at Chicago,
is a mere pretence, and lias no foundation iu
fact."
We think these extracts should satisfy the
most incredulous that Gen. McClellan's let
ter of acceptance, although containing some
expressions which seem to conflict with the
Platform, agrees with it in spirit and senti
nicnt that "little Mac," like Buchanan in
18;G, hi absorbed in the Platform, and must
do as the leaders of his party direct, wheth
er he is willing or urfwilling.
TAX-PAYERS OF CLEARFIELD!
KKMHMBKRl
That your County has been involved in a
debt of
8200,000!'
by the opposition of fhe Copperhead Party
to the Draft, by which Volunteering was
discouraged !
REMEMBER ! That the Copperhead
County Commissioners could have saved at
least one-half of this sum if they had made
an effort to fill up the quota only six weeks
earlier than they did.
1! EM EMBER ! That one of the objects
of holding back so long a time the offer of
a County Bounty, and then laying a tax of
5 per cent, upon the whole valuation, was
to "make the Tax-Pavers feel the burdens
of the War."
THE GAME OF BRAG.
We understand that the Copperhead lea
Si ."T1J lit 1-1 I J T vl O 1 I j 1 T Wl 11 1 f l t ! Ti 1-
dopted the game of "Brag ' as an election
eering hobby. They report innumerable
conversions from Unionism to Copperhead
ism. Now, this is all bosh. We have made
careful inquiry during the last ten days, and
wo are authorized to state upon the author
ity of many of those whom they reported
as having embraced the doctrines of Cop
perheadism, that there is no truth iu the
stories thus circulated. The friends of the
Union are true and tried, jhkT no false rea
soning can swerve them from the fixed prin
ciples that abide in them notwithstanding
the reports of the Cops to the contrary.
MR. SCOFIELD'S PROSPECTS.
We have the gratifying intelligence that
Mr. Scofield' s prospects of an overwhelming
re-election, are growing brighter every day.
His majority in the, district will be from
2.000 to 3,Ut)0. But, notwithstanding this
cheering prospect, it behoves the Union men
to be active and vigilant, and to make
every honorable effort to swell his majority
as great as possible. Then, go to work at
once,and don't relax jour efforts until victory
perches on our banners.
"Whistling to Eeep Up Courage."
We learn that the Cop leaders are busily
engaged in telling their followers, that
Judge Shannon and other Union Democrats
are stumping the State in behalf of Coppcr
headism. There is no truth in the asser
tion. Judge Shannon is now as firmly for the
Union as he was last fall. But the leaders
of that party must "whistle to keep up
courage" in their deluded followers, lest
they will be left alone in their infamy.
We wonder how Peace Democrats,' relish
the idea of voting for a person who may to
morrow be sent to fight "their misguided
brethren." It is bad enough for General
McClkllan to have written such a letter.
J but think of the insult to their feelings iu
I wearing a hirclinc mfrcfnari7 swnril '
WHY THEY WILL. AND WHY THEY
WON'T.
1st-Why they Will.
The friends of the Union will vote for
Glenni W. Scofield, because he is an ardent
supporter of the National authorities in
their efforts to crush out the present wicked
rebellion.
They will vote for Glenni W. Scofield be
cause he is in favor of using every honorable
means to re-establish the authority of the
Government over the Seceded States.
They will vote for Glenni W. Scofield, be
cause he has encouraged, in all his speeches,
the filling up of our armies by volunteering.
They will vote for Glenni W. Scofield, be
cause he was for the Amendment which al
lows our soldiers iu the army to vote.
They will vote for Glenni W. Scofield, be
cause he is still willing to furnish men and
money to prosecute the present war for tho
Union.
They will vote for Glenni W. Scofield, be
cause he has at all times counseled obedi
ence to the conscript laws.
They will vote for Glenni W. Scofield, be
cause ho is in favor of employing colored
soldiers in defence of our flag and laws
thus saving the lives of white men.
They will vote for Glenni W. Scofield. be
cause he is opposed to a cessation of hostil
ities so long as the rebels refuse to return in
to the Union.
They will vote for Glenni W. Scofield, be
cause he believes that our gallant armies
have so far whipped the rebels and re-occupied
the rebel territory as to make their ef
forts a Union success.
They will vote for Glenni W. Scofield, be
cause he is iu favor of maintaining theU-
nion intact in all its parts, aud is opposed to
dissolution.
For these, and many oilier reasons, the
friends of the Union will vote for Glenni
W. Scofield.
2d -Why they Won't.
The friends of the Union wui t vote for
Wm. Bigler, because he opposes the Na
tional Administration in its every effort to
conquer the rebels.
They won't vote for Wm. Bigler, because
he is opposed to employing all the means at
the command of the Government tore-establish
its authority over the rebel States.
They won't vote for Wm. Bigler, because
he has, by his speech on August loth, dis
couraged enlistments into our depicted ar
mies. They won't vote for Win. Bigler, because
he was opposed to the Ainendwent extend-,
ing the privilege of voting to our brave sol
diers in the army.
They won't vote for Wm. Bigler, because
lie declared, on August 13th, that he would
not give one man, nor one farthing, to pros
ecute the present war.
They won't vote for Wm. Bigler, because
lie encouraged by his speech on August lith,
u resistant e to the conscript law, or draft.
They won't vote for Win. Bigler, because
he is opposed to employing the slaves of re
bels in defence of our Union and flag thus
preferring the sacrifice of white men.
They won't vote for Win. Bigler, lieca-tse
he is in favor of an immediate cessation of
hostilities, which would end the contest by
establishing rebel independence, and giving
treason the victory.
-They won't vote for Win. Bigler, because
he believes four years of hard lighting has
proved the war for the Union to be a failure.
They won't vote for Wm. Bigler, because
the doctrines advocated by him and his
friends will lead to a certain dissolution of
! 1 TT
For these, and numerous other reasons,
tlie Union men won't vote for Win. Bigler.
SIGNIFICANT FACT.
Immediately on the announcement of the
great Union victory at Atlanta, gold took a
downward tendency, and declined from 250
to 220. Again; when Sheridan's victory o
ver Early, and the Union triumphs in Ver
mont and Maine, were made known, gold
tumbled down to l'.tO. And just in propor
tion as gold falls, so rise the prospects of
Mr. Lincoln's overwhelming re-election. A
few more such Union victories as we have
had recently, will obscure little Mac to such
a degree, that even his own party friends
will scarcely know where to find him after
the November election.
TRADING VOTES.
We hope that the Union men throughout
the county, will be on their guard in reference
to the game of trading votes. The opposi
tion will, no doubt, try to induce Union men
to vote for Mr. Bigler, and in return they
will vote for one of the candidates on t he
Union county ticket. This would only bene
fit -Mr. Bigler, and injure Mr. Scofield. We
advise the Union men not to suffer them
selves to be gulled by any such game, but
vote for Mr. Scofield under any and all cir
cumstances. A correspondent desires to know whe
ther General McClellan has resigned, his
commission as a major general in the army,
after the manner of General Fremont. He
has not done so nor is it probable that he
will. General McClellan belongs to a
party who occasionally obtain offices, but
never resign them. The last familiar exam
ple is that of Mr. Justice Woodward, who
led a political party and administered jus
tice at the same time. To be sure, the
Judge tarnished his ermine by thus degra
ding the bench : but he also served his par
ty. General McClellan is doing pretty
much the eame thing. Press.
ON TO BICTDtOm
BRILLIANT SUCCESS OF OUR ARMY.
Rebel Earthworks Carried at the Point of
the .bayonet.
Ord Captures 16 Guns, and 500 Prisoners.
Successful Attacks of Gen's Meade and
Warren on the Rebel Right.
The 10th and ISth Corps crossed the James
river, at Deep bottom, on the 20th Septem
ber, and advanced against the enemy's works
at Chapin's farm, aud took the first line ot
rifle pits without resistance. At 10 o'clock,
our troops carried the enemy's strong posi
tion near the former, by assault, and cap
tured 500 prisoners, 6 guns, flags, etc. The
works captured by our troops are very strong
and said to be equal to any that the reliels
have at Richmond. At latest dates our for
ces were still holding their position, and had
extended their lines to White Oak swamp,
a distance of six miles and within four miles
of Richmond. Great praise is accorded to
our troops for their gallantry in storming the
rebel works. Gen. Ord was slightly wound
ed, and Gen. Burnhani was killed. Our loss
is not very heavy.
While these operations were going on, on
the North of the James, Gens. Meade and
Warren moved on to the right flank of the
enemies lines driving the rebels at all points
and gaining a position to the Southwest of
Petersburg. 1 uring the day the rebels made
several heavy attacks upon our new lines,
but were each time repulsed with severe loss.
They also made an assault on Gen. Butler's
position, but with no better success than they
had in their attacks upon other parts of our
lines.
The new positions: assumed by our gallant
armies, go far to destroy Lee's communica
tions to the South leaving him tho Peters
burg and Lynchburg railroad as his only out
let, and should Gen. Meade succeed in ad
vancing his lines to that road, then the Reb
els will be cooped up in Richmond, where
they will soon be assailed from all sides.
But, we are disposed to believe that Lee will
hardly suffer himself to be caught iu that
trap, but that he will evacuate both Peters
burg and Richmond, aud move farther south,
which, though difficult it may be for him to
do, after the capture of the Lynchburg road,
will be the only alternative left him to save
any part of his army. So far all Grant's
movements have been successful, and we
hope soon to hear of the tall of Richmond.
Gen. Sheridan was still successful at latest
advices, and had occupied Stanton, and de
stroyed all the rebel government property in
that neighborhood which was considerable. .
1 le appears to be making his way towards
Lynchburg.
Gen. Sherman is still resting quiet at At
lanta, and has made an actual exchange of
two thousand of his own army. Other pris
oners have also been exchanged, among
whom is Major Harry White.
LETTER OF SENATOR WALLACE.
Editor ok Raftsman's Journal: Dear
Sir: My attention has been called to an ar
ticle in your paper of the list h ult.. giving
an extract from the Uarrisburg Telegraph
ot 24th ult, in which it is alleged that in tho
course ot my speech at Uarrisburg on the
20th. I said that "the lady employees in the
" Departments at Washington were all wo
'men of doubtful character whose presence
"there was for the purpose of assignation
"with the hirelings of Lincoln." I niide
use of no such language." What I did say
was, that "I trusted the day was breaking
"when women of doubtful reputation iu the
"Treasury Department at Washington would
"no longer be tolerated," acd 1 had refer
ence solely to the Clarke case, the exposure
of which so shocked the moral sence of the
whole country. I shall be obliged by your
publication of this denial in your paper of
next week. llesjiectfulry yours.
Oct. I, 1804. . Wm. A." Wallace.
We cheerfully give place to the above let
ter, as we were loth to believe, and so stated
last week, that the Senator could so far for
get himself as to make the wholesale slan
derous charge attributed to him. But when
he has a "case in point" hereafter, he had
better quote it, and not permit the hundreds
of ladies in the employment- of the Treasu
ry Department to suffer such an imputation,
even by inference. As to the "Clarke case,'
never having before heard of it, we are una
ble to say whether it "shocked the moral
sense of the whole country" or not. We do
not recollect even to have seen it in the col
umns of the Copperhead oryan of this place,
where anything of the kind is almost sure
to be snatched up and paraded in conspicu
ous style. But granting that such a case
did "shock the moral sense of the whole
country" (rebeldom included), it would hard
ly justify the assertion of the Senator that
"women of doubtful reputation" are "tole
rated" in the Treasury Department, especi
ally as the "case" was not alluded to at the
time. Some of the ladies in the employ of
the Treasury Department, as is well known,
belong to the best families in Washington.
Among them is the accomplished widow
of the late lamented Stephen A. Douglas.
To say that among such ladies, women of
"doubtful reputation" are "tolerated," is
to say what Sehator Wallace ought to have
known was false, and what constitutes a
slander upon the character of the whole
number. He ought to be more guarded
in the future, and then there will be no necessity-
for letters of explanation or denial.
