',24, JOHN W. BLANCIIARD. THE ARMY TOTE. We are not sanguine that the Army vote will give the . Union party a very great lain this year over the vote for. Gov. Cur tin of 1863. It is generally anticipated that from twenty to thirty thousand will he added to the Union vote by the amend ed Constitution conferring suffrage upon our brave soldiers in the field ; but the're suit will not vindicate finch calculations. It mast be borne in mind that very many soldiers are not voters. Perhaps one fourth are minors. and another fraction is made up of sliens—these two classes ta— king quite one-third; and it may be much more in some cases, from the men in ser vice, who 'can exercise the right of suf frage.. Again—very many of those who ,are citizens of the United States and of proper age,- willjlose their votes because of the exigencies of the service, and neglect to have assessments made and taxes paid in proper season. The armies of Gens. Grant and Sheridan have been on the move for two weeks past; engaged in skirmishes 'or battles daily during that time, and it would be wonderful indeed if hundreds would not fail to have them selves assessed, or if assessed by their friends at home, thir receipts must in very many cases fail to reach them, owing to their daily movements . and changes of position. Gen. Sheridan's army commenced its victoriona march nearly three weeks ago, and bat few if any have had time since then to procure assessments, tax receipts, -tickets, &c., to enable them to vote; and himdreds - of tax receipts mailed to them must necessarily fail to reach them. us the lines between Martinsburg and that army are very precariouk. We doubt not that fullY one thousand Union votes in Sheri dan's army will be lost because of their rapid movements and the ceaseless service demanded of. that gallant command in its pursuit of the vandal Early ; and the same reasons must lose the Union cause thou sands of Uni;m votes in the Army of Gen. Grant. We presume that most' of our sol diers have been assessed by their Union friends at home, and their receipts for warded; but fully one-third must have failed to reach the soldiers in time to en able them to vote yesterday. In General Sherman's army, where there are not less than three hundred ,voters from this leg ' islittive district, it•is possible that the en tire vote may be lost, and certainly not one-andf of it can be secured. Tickets and receipts were - forwarded in due time to reach that army ten days before the elec tion, bad not the lines of communication been interrupted; but the rebel Gen. For rest has taken the stump there and will most likely prevent the blanks, tickets, receipts, &c., froth reaching Atlanta in • time. A few Franklin and Perry soldiers off the line from Chattanooga to Dalton may vote; but we look for but small re turns from the Army of the Cmnberland. The- same causes will defeat hundreds of proxies. But few reached the county from any of the armies in - time to be cast yes terday,, and very many are doubtless on • the way 'and must be lost. It must be ' - borne hi mind, too, that Gets. Lee and Hood are by no means indifferent as to the result of this election. Their organs have not concealed the fact that the de feUt of the Union party at home depends upon the defeat of the Union armies in the tield;'and-Lee, Early and Hood have been boldly announced as the men who were to give triumph to the Peace men in the North by rebel victories •over Sherman, Sheridan and-Grant. In thiS"programme thdy have failed; but they'lrave one hope le l, and that will doubtless be exhausted ,to rsiO their sinking cause. If Lee and Early and Hood cannot defeat onr armies ° for the benefit of Peace men in the North, • they probably took thebstump yesterday wherever it was at all practicable and en gaged our troops so as to prevent them from voting. They know - as well as do Peace men in the North how Union sol diets will vote; and next to their bullets, _ rebelszdread soldiers' ballots just now. Another fact -that has been generally forgotten in estimating the soldiers' vote, is the large army vote polled last year by t!tirloughed soldiers. All \khe sick and wounded soldiers belonging lo the State were . yery justly- transferred to hospitals in the State and thus enabled to vote, and many others were furloughed from the ranks. In all `there were probably as Many as ten thousand soldiers voted in the State last year, and nearly all Of them .voted for Gov. Curtin. Now, if there shall be-thirty thousand v4tes cast in the field, the advantage to - the Union party will not be ntucli greater than the ten thousand cast at home gave ns last year. Of the recruits sent to the field within the last two months a large fraction of them were members of the Democratic party, and they will not have learned how sadly that 'party strengthens their foes in sea• son to make their vote yesterday for the cause for which they peril their lives. Of the soldiers' vote cast •yesterday, there- fore, we count on one-third of it aH againot as; and in an armypoll of thirty.thousand, we would gain 'but little Over the army vote last year. In Franklin county there - acre about one hundred and fifty soldiers voted in 1863. This year, With a full and fair vote in the field, we should have six hundred cast. ditil not less than fair hun dred Union majority; but with our armies ,m the march: with important lines inter- rupted 4 and the want of proper intbrma tion among the soldiers as to the details necessary to be observed to receive their votes, we do not calculate that more than two hundred majority can be safely count ed on for this county from the army.— Possibly matters may have gone better than we antieipate ; but we do not see good reason to expect it. By November the Soldiers will understand' the complica ted machinery by which their votes -cap be 'given; and President Lincoln will have double the majority cast yesterday for the local tickets in Pennsylvania. , We have abiding faith-in the success of the Union cause on the home Vote; but of all men the heroic soldiers, who have given us vic tory over treason, deserve to vindicate' their own cause at the ballot-box, and mingle their loyal ballots with their "loyal friends at home to drive treachery in con fusion and shame from the power it would prostitute to the peril of our sacred Na tionality. THERE is no truth whatever in the state ment of the Spirit of last iveek, thatipres tient Lincoln - offered Gen. McClellan the "highest command in the army," the "best civil position within his gift," and propos ed to "support McClellan for the Presi dency in 1868," if McClellan would with draw now.- It is wholly false and has not even the merit of _plausibility, and it is hardly reasonable- to - suppose that the. Spirit did not know better when it pub lished the kittement with a displayed heading. Gen. McClellan snits Mr. Lin cohi about as Well as a Presidential can didate as any other "cessation of hostili ties" candidate. and he is most welcome to run as far as he can get, which may amount to two and probably three States. While the SpiriN 11111)11 is in on M'Clelhin, can it tell its:readers why he holds his coin missiomas Ma* General and draws his pay, without pretending to render service:: Scott tried that and failed: 'Woodward tried it and failetl, and the, people have no more a - Oction for such a fraud upon the treasury no* than they had then. Let us know about it!. GrIZAyI. Meade, Hancock, Burn side, Warren. Butler. Sheridan, Slug - than, Thomas, Hooker and others unite in de claring that the war is -not a fitilure, and that it must very soon achieve its crown ing success by the destruction of tr.cason and the restoration of Union'. - Sharpe, Stenger, Duncan, and the Spirit declare the war a failure and demand Peace. -Who is right—Pence orators or War Generals ? THE Democrats have made a gain in Comiecticut—that is a sort of a gain—and being wholly unused to that sort of thing the Spirit gets up a rooster and crows lustily. The victory consists in ther gain ing two towns and losing nine towns: but as they didn't fose all the towns in the State. they are jolly! 'lima for thedaud of steady habits! DEJAWARE has' elected a majority of Democratic inspectors—the vote being very light. At the imn eleetiou the eops didn't vote, and this tine• they stole a march on the Union men. 'Wait till No verither—there will be a fair light then. LIST Spring, after the adjournment of the leg islature, ihetighe Spirit could hare had no mo tive to withhold the truth,. it declaged that Mr. M'Clure had done - everything in his power to pro cure indemnity for our military damages. Here is its language on the sultiect vu the .14411 . 0 f May last. in a leading editorial : - • "It is due to the cause of truth to Nay, that no one could have given a more cordial, e f ficient and earnest support to the measure than did COL. MC CLURE. He um: in Harrisburg time and again using his personal influence with his party to se cure the passage of the bill. We do not admire the Colonel's politics, nor do, we swear by hint in those matters, but we will girl. hint credit forbeine FAITHFUL TO THE INTERESTS OF HIS OWN SECII - TION." Such were its declarations when the Dditor of this paper was not a candidate, and when the ,Spirit supposed-it might venture to tell the truth for once without injury to its party. But on Sat urday last an edition of the Spirit was printed, when it was too lute' to.contradict anything that might appear in its columns, and among its ed itorials we End the following: "It is-true that Dol. KClure did end some time at Harrisburg, last winter, and we stated in our issue of the lejth bf May that he had gives a cordial support to the claim bill. then we hare had some reason to doubt the correctness of tchat we then said, and are induced to believe that he had 'other fish to fn-,' about that time, at-the Hendquartern of Shoddy." When did the Spirit change 'its mind? Did it discover its error just three days before the elec tion! And if it was in error why did it not give some reason for its change of base? Again the sauce paper says: • "We have it on the authority of a prominent member of the'Republiean party who has been spending some film , in the western portion of the State, that the reason g iven by the Republican members, of the fast legislatnre, from that MT tion, for opposing the appropriation of money for tie relief of the Citizens: of Chambersburg, was theinutter distrust and want of confidence in Mc- Clure. They, say that if he had opposed the meas ure it would have received more favor at their hands; and that if he is elected to the next legisla ture it will drive many of them from the support of any bill for the relief of our Citizens. The inter ests of our Citizens require the election of - Sharpe and Mitchell to the legislature." Not content with confronting its own voltudary declaration that Mr. M'Clure had been "faithful to the interests of his own section," it goes further and manufactures a shallow falsehood to prejudice voters, by charging the defeat of the indemnity measurhe same man it complimented in the highest terms us its advocate. If the efhorts of Mr. 'Velure were prejudicial to the bill, it is strange indeed that it was not discovered lice win ter. Mr. Sharpe and the friends, of the measure :who labored with him, must have been singularly not to NPe it just at that thin. They did not hesitate to call MI Mr. Met:lore in every emer gency to aid the measure, and it was' not until it is as hoped that a few votes might 'Winn& for the lb.:operatic ticket that the thlsehood was con ceived and the Spirit wax made to filther it. 18 now too late to effect the suffrages of the people of Franklin count• on this question. Their verdict e 4 made, and with it, whatever it may be, we shall be well etnitamt. If it is against ns, w e trust that ilu one will regret it more, and that no one will suflhr more thereby, than the IA riter hereof; but we are not willing that volun tary and enaselema efforts made in belialf of the suffering people of the border, shall he perverted and thlsified as the Spirit hus•attengrted.

The fact is, a gr4at disaster has happened to the Army of the Potomac. 13irney's corps has been cut to pieces. - Tin rebel papers are just beginning to appre ciate the tact that vandalism such as the plunder ing and burning of Chambershurg is a losing game. The Charleston Mercury of a late date forgets that the war a "failure," and says: "Whoa Early asuumedthe tai gi'essive and cross ed the Potomac into Maryland, we ventured to. express the opinion that such a movement could produce nothing but-:evil to our cause.

It is upon these reflections that I rely to make men return to their duty, but after conferring With our Generals at head-quarters, if there be any other remedy it shall be applied. I love my friends, and I forgive my enemies.. I have been asked to send reinforcements from Virginia to Georgia. In Virginia the disparity in numbers is just as great as it is in Georgui.— , Then I have been asked why the army sent to the Shenandoah Valley was not sent here.- It :was be. cause an army of the enemy had penetrated/hat valley to the very gates of Lynchburg, and Gen. Early was sent to drive them back. - Thia he not only successfully did, but, crossing the Potomac, camel well nigh capturing, Washington' itself, and forced Grant to send two corps of his army to protect it. This the enemy. denominated a raid. If so, Silent:lan's march into Georgia isi a raid. What would prevent them now, if Early was withdrawn, from taking Lynchburg, and putting a complete cordon of men around Richmond. .I counseled with that great and grave soldier, Gen. Lee, upon all- theie points. My mind roamed over the whole field. With this we can succeed. if one-half the men now abient without leave will return to duty, we can defeat the enemy. With that lope I am going to the front. I may not realize this hope, but I know there are men there who have looked death in the face too often to despond now. Let no one des fond. Let no One distrust, and remember that if genius is the e.nu ideal hope is the reality. Ins picture Of the national Ancrifice invited by Gen.
