TIIE SITU
' Y The aspect of affairs at Chattanooga gra.-
dually improves as:authen tie accounts reach
us. It is now clear that but for the unac
countable breaking of M'Cooks and Critten
'den's commands in the centre, Gen. Rose
'erns would have achieved a decided victory.
- :The unequal losses - show how bravely our
' troops defended the Old Flag. The Rebel
loss is not less than 20,000, while The Union
.loss is ascertained: to be 1,800 killed, 9,000
„ ,
woUnded and 2 , ;500 captured—in all about
13,000: Our last advices assure us, that
Roseerans has an impregnable position at
Chattanooga-4hat his flanks and lines of
communication are, safely protected; , and
we know that by this time he' is largely,
- re.inforced. We hazard little in assmn
nag that Roseerans will. in a. very short
time be made strong enough to, advance
against Bragg,. andTenetrate'to Rome and
Atlanta, where a vital point of treason can
%e reached. We look for another battle,
of the most dp‘cisive character, to be fought
by Rosecrans and Bragg within the next
- thirty days. It is evident - that the great
'strength of both forces is to he tested there,
as,it involves the possession of 'Georgia and
the safety of Mobile, Charleston and Rich
mend. ,
The Army of the Potomac is still holding
the line of the Rapidan, and Lee is on the
south side well fortified.` We 'do not an
ticipate any decisive operations there Until
the great issue at Chattanooga is decided.
Should Rosecra gain a positive advantage
n l
there, Meade will doubtless
doubtless advauce again:
Lee and engage 'm if necessary to keep
him from giving succor to Bragg. Meade
and Lee seem content for the present to let
each other alone, as a,battie between them
would decide nothing, Lee's defeat would
"not give us Richmond, nor:would Meade's
defeat give the rebels Washington. Lee
seems to have abandoned ;ill hope of the
Democracy carrying Pennsylvania, and has
not, therefore, attempted to drive Meade
back upon Washington 4, "raise the spirits
of the. Democrats," as advised by the Mich

ORRSTOWN 'HEART/ *ROM AT LAST.
Orrstown cannot be - called &limns either
in history or in song. She was not born
great, neither has she had greatness imposed
upon her, nor yet has she forgcd grptness
out of stubborn eircums:tarice. by the mighty
power of her own inherent energy. Never
theless, OrrstoWti is not without a history ;
a history 'tis true which the envy and un
kindness 6f- other toins,possessing far less
merit than herself, have always labored to
disparage and obscure., , but which the honest
-journalist, as ,a faithful chronicler of events
"just as-he finds them," dare net ignore or
despise. • , ' •
Years ago, when the rest of mankind in
the bigotry and blindness of their hearts and
eyes, and with a pigheadedness unparalleled,
persisted in reading the signs Of the times
forward and declaring that the world was
progressiVe, Orrstown, the only luminous
spot amid the nebulous obscurity, with pro
phetie perspicacity and clearness, main ,
tabled that history, must be read backward
and that things were not what they seemed.
'When Orrstown annou c oced to the world
that there is nothing good under the sun
unless it be.found' in the Democratic party;
that poor . men Should be. kept. poor,, and
ignorant men ignorant ; that to make goy.:

the greatest number the; Democratic party ,

,shape of a paradox; thus, "Orrstoum can't'

who have greater cause to fear negro equal

went to Scheel. Strange that none but
Copperheads fear this negro equality. - Is
it really true that they apprehend that the
negro will Soon equal and 'outstrip them in
the thousand avenues of industry and honor
if he be icermitted to startin the races. In
_spite Of their' declarations to the contrary,
they must certainly believe that the: negro
is,superior, either intellectually-or other
wise, to themselves„ and that the chains of
ShiVery alone can restrain them. from crowd:
ing them out of their 'places.. _
Let us note a singular -fact in Natural --
history which,.strange to 'say, has thus far .
escaped the industry and genius of both
,Agassiz and -Culver. A class a beings
:closely resembling man in their,general ap
'pearance has been discovered in the= North-.
ern States within the last year, and in some,
localities quite abundantly., Scientifically
they may be defined thus :—Genus, head,
Species, copper. Some curious facts, have
already hen developed in their character
and doubtless many '-others will be discov
ered from time to time. For example they
ure fLiund t 6 be most numerous in localities
where there are the fewest school houses.
Orrstown is full of, them. The ,sight of a
negro -affects them in- a most marvellous
manner, sometimes throwing them into con
vulsions, always causing them to rant and
rave and-distort their persons in a most
'frantic manner. Many other interesting
facts might be stated with regard to this
singular class of beings, but we have not
space to relate them now. Men learned in
the science of Polities say that on the 13th
of October next, a fearful and overwlichnn
ing destruction is going to come upon this,
race of beings.
THE PROGRESS OF TILE WAR.
We give on the fkt page of to-day's
paper a" Map clearly exhibiting the_ vast
achievements of the Union arms in the war
for the preservation of the -government.—
When treason culminated in causeless,wick
ed -war, it held every Southern State but
Delaware firmly in its grasp. Traitors—all
Democrats of. cour:tej--were in the Execu
tive chairs of all the Southern States, in
eluding Kentucky, Tennessee, Misouri and
Virginia, and they forced, iu sem4 irregular
way, an ordinance of secession through ei
ther the. legislatures or packed conventions.
Every State on the pin black or shaded
lines were at that time within the power
and at - the mercy - of traitors, and had to be
wrested by bloody battles from their fatal
embrace.
Thus htarted this War again'st the noblest
and best government of the world. Two
years'and a half of:conflict have eritAned
our history„ and have fallen mar
tyrs to the cause of freedom--murdered, by
the lust of untailY ambition. But they
have not fallen jn vain, nor with dishonor.
For eighteen months the varying fortunes of
the struggle often chilled'the hopes of loyal
hearts, and gave renewed confidence to' the
foes of the Republic ; but t6-day every pa
triot can point with .pride to the substantial
achievements gained by the Old Flag.—
Western Virginia is rescued, redeemed and
comes as a new star in the gala of States.
Kentucky has been restored entirely to the
folds of the Union, and he faithful People
have just voted by 50,000 majority against
treason. -Missouri; after *messing bloody,'
struggles on her soil, is attkst safe from the
fatal tread of the insurgents._ Teunsssee
rejoices that the "pride . of the Tyrant is
breketi;•and Ihat - her people are all again
free. Two-thirds of Arkansas, and nearly all
of Miisissiiipi and Louisiana, with all their
capitols, are tinder the stars and stripes—
rescued by thedauntless herobim 'of our
trotqii; and all of the Indian Territory, of
New Mexico, of - Arizona, and most of Tex
as, are ,among the rich fruits of our tri
umphs.. Florida is entirety restored to the
akin ;:and parts of Georgia, of North' and
Soiitli;Carolinatind of Old =Virginia hive
been - won to loral rtile by the victories of
,
oninrms. • ' ' - -
Thus has treason , receded- . fromday to
dayl nits murderous course, leaving heta.
combs of dead to mark its career of crime.
Well nigh two: thirds of its territory and
half "its"- remaining population are redecin
thi and' -we have but to be faithful to
our holy - cause to secure its complete
triumph: To-day the Flag of the Union
waves in every. State, and, if the peOple Of
the North are true to their government and
to their war-worn veterans in the field, we'
Shall ,:saon be re-united. in strengthened
bonds of Nationality and Peace.
Friends of'the Union l—whenou bear a
cowardly quibbler falsify the noble deeds of
our army by declaring that "the war has
accomplished nothing," point him to the
brilliant record of the:Union arms—to the
territory recovered—to the people redeernecl ,
from the tyrant's power—to the narrow
boundaries in which treason now hides its
'murderous hand ; and bid tho - loyal hearts
be of 'good cheer, for the eau:se - is tritlM
pliant in the field, and will be triumphant
at the polls in Pennsylvania and Ohio o‘i
Tuesday next ! Forward. for the Union 1 2 --
the battle cry is " Union and Victory !"

The -6pirit, the Age and-the 1 - 11triot and
are no, more interested in the suc
cess, of_ Judge Woodward than are Jeff.
Davis and the Richmond Enquirer.' Let
loyal men' read the followingTrom the organ
j of the rebel bogus government : , -
From The Richmond inquirer,
The success of the Democratic prirtji.would
be no longer doubtful should General Lee once,
snore advance on A llende. Parties . in .the
United Staties are so nearly balani2;2d that the
least advantage, thrown in favor pf one will

Yankee
_reports will Ve confirmed. and Lin
coln and Halle* will point in triumph to the
crippled conditiUn of the . Confederate army
as confirmation of the great victOry won in
PennsylYania. The Democrats, iinablerto
gainsay such evidence, will be constrainedsto
enter the contest for Speakers:hip shorn of the
principal part of theirstrength—the disgrace

Gen. Lee must 'tarn politician art well as
warrior. and we helicre liewill,prove the most
micces,Vul politician the Confederacy er peo
(.luced. 'He may so Ace. and direct his army
as to produce political results. which, in their
bearing upon this war, will prove more e fject

the people of Pennsylvania how little security
they have from. Lincoln for the protection of

occupation or simply for a grand raid ; it will
demonstrate that, m the thii d year of the war,
thi-.1 , are so far from the subjugation of the
Confederate States that the 'defense of Mary
land and Pennsylvania has not been secured.
A fall campaign into Pennsylvania, with

The damages which the last campaign in

when presented to the Lincoln Government,
would, unless paid. greatly exasperate_ the
people against lin Administration which
/wither defends the State. nor reimburses its
citizens for losses'which its own imbecility
has • prciduced. And if these damages are
paid the debt is increased, the taxes raised,
and till; burdens imposed will accomplish the
saute end.
Let the great and important fact :be con

aspect before the people of Pennsylvania, that
notwithstanding they have opvnedlthe Mis

LO OH TO THE LEGISLATERE.
Itr'is or the firs. importance that the
Union
_candidates . 14 Assembly shoUld be
chosen; and a full vote audithful support
of our elindidates Will insure their succcess._
If the Democrats had been in power in the
legislature when the rebellion broke out,
not a dollar of money nor a man would have
been voted to defendour State from inva
sion and maintain our Nationality. When
the bill-passed - to make an appropriation to
organize_ the Reserve Corps;j'or State and
National, defence, every Democrat in tl e
Senate, and all but one in the House, voted
against every section of the bill. In the
Senate the bill was on final passage when
the rebel cannon were thunddring against
Sumter, yet every Democrat voted against
providing either men or money to protect
our homes and' aid in preserving the'Re l
'public.
Lieutenant Nill, the Union candidate of
Franklin, is a gentleman of blameless char,
actor, and eminent fitness to.make an inter•
ligent, efficient and faithful member. He
supported the Democratic party as /wig as
it was faithful to the government, but.when
it became faithless he joined , the Union
ranks at home and attested his devotion to
his principles by joining thellnion ranks:in
the field. He served his term with credit,
and no man in the famed 126th returned
more respected by- his gallant associates.,
Prof Gray, of Fulton, is a gentleman 'Of
rare intelligence and spotless integrity, and
an unfaltering friend of the govcrnment.—
He will command a large vote in his own
county, and will poll the full ,Union vote in
Franklin cOunly. Upon the electiokof these
gentleman the oniiiislexion of the legislature
may depend, and no pains should be spared
to give them •ifiecess. They 'are all that
the 'penple could 'ask—honest, competent
