FREEMEN OF CAMBRIA COI NTV! ARE YOi: READY?
Fricntls and supporters of the National
Administration ! Lovers of your country!
Patriots and loyal men ! On next Tues

hih and responsible duty. On that day,
important State and County officers are to

from Of fatal htlatnjy tlint seem to auom
juim us, aud present ixn utibtokcu front to

Let it be remembered, that" a victory to
the People Patty in the present aanv'ass
will bt a yiclory to the Aduilnictratiu
to the cause of the "Union, for whicdi
thousands of our brethren are doing battle !
to the friends of a Constitution preserved
inviolate to those in favor of a strict
enforcement of the Laws. Let that victo
ry, then, be decisive and overwhelming!
Let it be remembered, also, that, at the
proper time, the People's Party attempted
to secure LJnion and Harmony in the Pol
itics of Cambria county by proposing the
r.ouiinatiou of a Uuiou Ticket, composed
of an equal number of Democrats aud
Republicans. This proposition, however,
was rejected by intriguing Loco-Foco
demagogues, and vc now have no alterna
tive but to vote for our own men.
In the present crisis of our country's
affairs, partisan contests of whatsoever
kind arc to be regretted. Until the war
be over, but one feeling should actuate
the heart of the loyal North, namely, devo
tion to the Union. Party issues should
be cast aside, party platforms and distinc
tions obliterated, and we all, with one
accord, rally on a common platform for
our country's good. That a contrary state
of affairs from this should exist in this
County is due only to the efforts of the
leaders of the Democratic party. The
People's Party, with characteristic patri
otism and liberality, one year ago sugges
ted "Union for the sake of the Union;"
but this proposition was listened to with
closed ears by the Loco-Foco leaders.
Aoio is the time to rebuke to signally
rebuke and punish these same contempt
ible, paltry, political tricksters for their
narrow-mindedness ! It tun be done it
should be done.
Our Ticket is oijC that should commend
itself to your hearty support. The men
composing it are known to be competent
and loval, and no blot stains the escutch
eon of any of them. Honest and capable
to the last man, will you not render them
your undivided countenance and support?
Thomas E. Cochran and William
S. Ross, our candidates for Auditor (Gen
eral and Surveyor General, are men of
the right stamp men who have been tried
and found not wanting. Their triumph
will be a triumph of Right against Wrong, i
and a signal rebuke to douiihfaccry and
toryism. For remember the fact their
opponents are Rreckinridge sympathizers, j
and opposcrs of a stcru aud vigorous pros
ecution of the war against Treason and
Traitors. Slenker and Parr, the Demo
cratc nominees for these important offices,
are mere creatures in the hands of Frauk
W. Hughes, l5hairmau of the Democratic
State Central Committee a man who has
been proem to be in direct and open sym
pathy with the Traitors .of the South ! Men
of Cambria! in voting for these Loco-Foco
candidates know that you are aflording
aid and encouragement to the Rebels, and
your votes will be counted as so ruany
Rebel adherents in the North. Can you
afford to support them, then, and thus
probably prolong the terrible war that is
now desolating cur country? As you
value your Liberty no.'
Hon. Louts W. Hall 13 our candidate
for State Senator. Three years ago the
People sent him to Ilarnsburg by an
overwhelming majority, and now they will
do so again. His Senatorial career is
ri'jld his record in that body, which is
oren to all, is alike creditable to himself
and to his constituency. Intelligent,
faithful, bold and fearless, he has made
himself a name that will not soon die;
while uch was the esteem in which he
was held by his fellow Senators that he
was chosen to preside over their delibera
tions during last winter's session. His
re-election now is essentially important, by
reason that at the coming session of the
Legislature a United States Senator must
be chosen to succeed lion. David Wilmot.
Rill Rigler is again a candidate for this
latter office, and the Democratic nominee
for State Senator Mr. Hall's oppouent
h a pupil and devout follower or that un
principled, weak-kneed demagogue.
Freemen! vote f-jr Mr. Hall apart from
his own worth, by so doing you will help
send a good aud true man to the halls of
the National Legislature for the next six
years, and thus defeat the unholy aspira
tions of that enemy of the Administration
Rigler.
Col. Jamfs Cocper, our candidate for
Assembly, is no stranger to the peopta of
th"i3 county. J wo years since, he was
elected to the responsible effice of County
Commissioner, in which position he won
the good-opinion of all with whom he
came in contact. Ilia upright walk aud
conversation has shown him to be a man
to be trusted. Honest and capable a
man of thcl'eople he possesses all the
requisites to make a Legislator of the kind
now so badly needed. In the event of hi3
election, he, too, will be called upon to
y.oto for' a United States Senator; and hie
principles are such as to forbid him to
support any man who is not thoroughly
loyal.
Col. Wm. K. Caru, our nominee for
Prothonotary, is a gentleman of fine attain
ments and unimpeachable character. His
clerical abilities, moreover, are of the first
order. His name a familiar word through
out the county, none will fail to accord
him the highest praise as a public-spirited
citizen, while the fact that he is now a
candidate for public office for the first
time, also speaks volumes in his behalf.
The office of Prothonotary which should
not be allowed to be made a monopoly by
a few" individuals is one of incalculable
importance to the People of the county,
and that man does not cxi.it who can dis
charge its varied duties more acceptably
than can Col. Carr.
For County Commissioner we have
John Elder, a man against whose char
acter no whisper of suspicion has ever
been breathed. He i3 emphatically the
man to keep watch and ward over the in
terests of thi tax payers. Hailing, more
over, from a section of county which is
eminently entitled to a representation in
the Roard of Commissioners, his election
would be no more than a mere act of
justice. Vote for him, aud get others to
do likewise.
In John II. Fisher, our candidate for
District Attorney, we have a maii fitted in
cverv respect for the office. He has al-
ready given indication of skill and ability j
in the legal profession, and, although a'
young man, must soon attain to au envia
ble position at the bar. Courteous and
affable in social intercourse, prompt in the
discharge of all business duties, moral and
upright, and endowed with talents of no
ordinary degree, he will make a most ex
cellent custodian of the public interests
attaching to the office for which he is a
candidate.
Wm. RerkstrFsser, our candidate for
Poor House Director; C T. Rokekts, our j
candidate for Auditor; T. R. Davis?, our
candidate for Coroner ; aud E. A. Vick-
llOY, our candidate for Surveyor, arc each
and every one well aud favorably known
to the People of the county. The offices
to which they have been nominated are
important in their character, and should
be filled by good men. That thry belong
to this class cannot be successfully gainT
sayed, while their qualifications are such
as to entitle them to j'our confidence and
support. Vote for them, one and all !
Such, Freemen of the Mountain
County, is our Ticket. Is it not worthy
of your unqualified support ? It is. Can
we elect it ? Yes. Then to work ! The
enemy is active and vigilant, and it will
require our best efforts to crush him. Hut
it can he done! "A long pull, a strong
pull, and a pull altogether," and the job
is effected.
Our cause is a righteous one. The
Democracy have rejected every overture
of conciliation, and although loath to
engage in a partisan struggle just at pres
ent wc have no other remedy than to
'fiaht on our own hook." If we succeed
in putting that party dowu effectually
and forever we will have done the State
good service. Wc can try, at all events.
Let the loyal people of the couuty, with
out distinction of party, reflect calmly on
their duty in the premises. If they are
able tc distinguish between their right
hand and their left, wc have no fears as to
the result of their conclusions.
A'otc is the time to strike a telling hlow
fur God and your Country. STRIKE !

todd vs. LIXCOLX.
In the progress of things here below, it
has pleased that eminent philosopher, that
profound thinker, that cogent reasoner,
that vigorous writer, that illustrious states
man and big little man, James S. Todd,
to come down on President Lincoln. This
he has seen fit to do through the medium
of that ancient and reliable family news
paper, the Democrat t' Sentinel, a journal
which, as everybody knows, is exclusively
devoted to the dissemination of useless
knowledge, aud the way he has done it
is "a caution." It is really thought now
by many that Old Abe will ''feel so bad"
that, if he had matters to do ovei again,
he would do -Just whaflte has done.
In the exercise of his rightful authority,
President Lincoln has issued a proclama
tion, declaring emancipated from their
bondage. all persons held to service or la
bor, as slaves, in the rebel states, vhose
rebellion si all last until the first day of
January next. It is not necessary that
we should at length discuss the merits of
this measure. It should suffice that it
has been cordially approved and endorsed
ly the Governor of ttrelce loyal states,
some of them Democrats, too, who, in
their recent address to the Pre-idc-nt, hail
it "in the heartfelt gratitude of encouraged
hope." Rut it has not. only met the ap
probation of these distingui-Jri.'J characters;
it has been receiv?3 .with joy by the good
and the lryal everywhere. The people
wher had so nobly responded to every call
of the Chief Magistrate, whether for men
or money, had become tired of the gentle
policy which had been exhibited in the
prosecution of the war. They Lelieved
that it was calculated to demoralize the
army, 'to sacrifice the best interests of the
nation, and to endanger the stability of
the Republic They could see no propri
ety in making the preservation of the
national supremacy subservient to the
preservation of Rebel interests and section
al institutions. They did not like to tec
their loal brethren employed in taking
careof the enemy's property, nor did they
wish to have them use-d as slave catchers
for Rebel masters. In short, they viewed
these little acts of kindness towards the
traitors as cruelty to themselves and to
the nation; hence they asked that the
war should be conducted in earnest, and
with the utmost vigor, by all the means
authorized by the acts of Congress and by
the laws of nations.
Such were the motives aud such the
demands which led to the proclamation,
and the are such as will meet the appro
val of the mind and conscience of every
loyal man. True, James S. Todd may
not agree with us in this; still smart aud
all as he is James may possibly be mis
taken. He it, after ail, but a finite being,
and besides he has a part to play. The
' humble instrument" in the hands of a
clique, he must do the bidding of hi
masters. There arc men who prefer the
success of their party to the success of
their country; there ate men who would
rather sec this glorious Union shattered
into fragments than see it saved under
the auspices of Arraiiam Lincoln. It
well becomes such cattle, therefore, to
! charge him with having no "real regurd
for his sacred oath of office," and to de
nounce him as "a weak, vacillating old
mouutebank," and "the tool and pliant
automaton of wicked and designing
knaves."
When all in -the free states should stand
shoulder to shoulder, and heart to heart,
in defence ot our country, it is deeply hu
miliating to find those amongst us who
will thus persist in giving aid and comfort
to our enemies. Rut why complain ? There
arc plenty of loyal men to fight success
fully this bittlc-of free institutions for the
world, aud however desperate may be the
struggle, by the blessing of God, the des
tiny of our great Republic will yet be
fulfilled.
T"From Springfield, Mo, we have uews
of a fiht at Sarcoxie, but the result was
not known. It is reported by refugees
that nearly every able-bodied man in
Northern Arkansas is either a consciij t
j in the Rebel army or a refugee. The
Rebels perpetrate an manner oi ouuages
seizing all property that can be of use to
them, aud leaving women aud children to
starve. One story is that Hindmau, the'
Rebel commander, proposes to march
immediately upon St. Louis, promising
his men plenty of rich plunder in that
city.
35-A battle is expected to eccur very
soon at or near Eardstown, Ky. The
Rebels have o", 000 men near that place,
and the Union central advance was only
four miles off on S-aturday. Skirmishes
had taken place, and G-JO Rebel, prisoners
had been taken. Kirby Smith was at
Frankfort with 10, 000 men, and Hum
phrey Marshall was ou his way there
with 5,000.
Address ot llic Sooyal Governors
to tlic President of tiie United
States.
Herewith we print the address of the
Loyal Governors to the President. It as
sures Mr. Lincoln of unqualified support
in all lawful measures for the suppression
of the Rebellion; of hearty acquiescence
in all laws passed, or that may be passed,
to preserve the life of the nation ; most
heartily indorses the Emancipation Proc
lamation, and demands the exticctiou of
Slavery as a war necessity; advises the
raising of 100,000 reserves after the requi
sitions already made are filled; and thanks
our brave officers and soldiers for their
heroic sacrifices in the cause of the Re
public. This address the official result
of the much-abused meeting at Altoona
is the most conclusive answer to the ven
omous slanders flung at the Governors by
the Jlebel-sympathizing press of the
North. Read it :
After nearly one year and a half spent
in content with an armed and gigantic
Rebellion agaiust the National Govern
ment of the United States, the duty and
purpose of the loyal States and peopla
continue, aud must always remain, as they
were at its origin, namely, to restore and
perpetuate the authority of this Govern
ment, and ths life of the nation, no mat
ter what eotrsequences arc involved in
our fidelity. Nevertheless, this work of
restoring the Republic, preserving the
iii.-titut hjhs of democratic liberty and just
ifying the hopes and toils of our fathers,
shall not fail to be performed, and we
pledge without hesitation to the President
ot the United States the in.jit loyal and
cordial support, hereafter, as heretofore,
in the exercise of the func'.ions of his
reat office. We recognize in him the
Chief Executive Magistrate of the Nation,
the Commander in-Chisf of the .rmy and
Navy, of the United States, their respon
sible and constitutional head whose right
ful authority and power, as well as the
constitutional powers d Congress, must
be vigorously and religiously guarded and
preserved as the condition on which alone
our form of government and the constitu
tional rights and liberties of the people
themselves can be raved from the wreck
of anarchy, or from the gulf of despotism.
In submission to the laws which may have
been or which may be duly enacted, and
to the lawful orders of the President,
co-operating always in our own spheres iu
the National Government, we mean to
continue in the most vigorous exercise of
all our lawful aud proper powers, conten
ding agaiust treason, rebellion, and the
public enemies, and, whether iu public
life, or in the private s-tation, supporting
the arms of the Union until its cause shall
conquer uutil final victory shall perch
upon its standard, or the Rebel foe shall
yield a dutiful, rightful, and unconditional
submission.
lmprc?scd with the conviction that an
army of reserve ought, until the war shall
end, to be constantly kept on fo t, to be
raised, armed, equipped and trained at
home, and ready for emergencies, we re-
snectiuliy
o.t- !- 1 V.iil.lnvf. tit -All
tor
such a lorcc of volunteers for one year s
service, of not less than one hundred
thousand iu the aggregate, the quota of
each State to be raised after it shall have
filled its quotas of the requisitions already
made for volunteers and for militia. Wc
believe that this would be a measure of
military prudence, while it would greatly
promote the militaiy education of the
people.
We hear with heartfelt gratitude and
encouraged hope the Proclamation of tlic
President issued on tht 22d inst., declaring
emancipated from their bondage all per
sons held to service or labor as slaves in
the Rebel States whose Rebellion shall last
until- the first day of January ensuing.
The riirht of any poisons to retain author
ity to compel any portion of the subjects
of the National Government to rebel
against it, or maintain its enemies, implies,
iu those who are allowed the possession
of such authority, the right to rebel
themselves; and therefore, the right to
establifh martial law or military govern
ment iu a State or Territory iu rebellion
implies the right and the duty of the
Government to liberate the minds of all
men living thcrciu by appropriate procla
mations, and assurance of protection, in
order that all who are capable, intellec
tually aud morally, of loyalty -ind obe
dience, may not be forced into treason, as
the willing tools of rebellion- traitors.
To havt. continued indefinitely the most
efficient cause, support, and stay of the
rebellion, would have been, in our judg
ment, unjust to the loyal people whose
treasure and lives are made a willing
sacrifice on the altar of patriotism, would
have dis.eriminatcd against the wife who
is compelled to surrender her husband,
against tho parent who surrenders his
child to the hardships of the camp and
perils of battle and iu favor of Rebel
ma-ters thus permitted to retain their
slaves. It would have been a filial decis
ion alike against humanity, justice, the
rights and dignity of ttie Government,
and against a sound and wise natioual
policy. The decision of the President to
strike at the root of the Rebellion will lend
new vigor to the efforts, and new life and
hope to the hearts of the people. Cordial
ly tendering to the President our respect
ful assurance of personal and official confi
dence, we trust aud believe that the
policy now inaugurated will be crowned
with success, will give speedy and trium
phant victories over cur enemies, and
secure to this nation and this people the
blessing and favor of Almighty Q,
Wc believe that the blood of the her'
who have already fallen, and those T
may yet give up their lives to the countrV
will not have been shed in vain.
The splendid valor of our sol-3iCr,
their patient endurance, their n.
patriotism, and their devotion to dnt
demand from us and from all their couu;
men the homage of the sineerest gratitae
and the pledge of our constant re-enfor,
ment and support. A just regard f(.
thes brave men, whom we have contri'
utcd to place in the field, and for t
importance of the duties which t;r,
lawfully pertain to us hereafter, has cal!t
us into friendly conference.
Aud now, presenting to our Nation;
Chief Magistrate this conclusion of c
deliberations, we devote ourselves to ou
country's service, and we will surrou
the President with our cons-taut suppor
trusting that the fidelity aud zeal the
loyal States and people will always assure
him that he will be constantly maintain.,
in pursuing with vigor this war for tie
preservation of the national life and it
hopes cf humanity.

FIRST DISPATCH.
Gen. Giant's Jjtatquarterf, Jacket,
Tinn, Oct. i), ISO'J To Major General
H. W. llallcck, General in cVief United
States Army:-Yesterday the rebels under
Van Pom, Price and Lovcll were repulsed
from their attack ou Corinth with great
slaughter. The enemy aic in full retreat,
leaving their dead and wounded ou tie
field.
Gen. Rosecrans telegraphs that the Im
is serious ou our side, "j a-rtscularly in e,:
ccrs, but bears no comparison with that ef
the enemy.
Gen. Hackleman fell while gallantly
leading his brigade Gen. Oglesby is
dangerously wounded. M'Pherson readied
Corinth with his command yesterday.
Gen. Rosecratis pursued the retreatir,
enemy this morning, and should they at
tempt to move towards Rolivar, will f jljuw
them to that place.
Gen. Hurlbut is at- the Hatchie river
with 5,000 or 0,000 men, and is no doubt
with the pursuing column. From TOO tj
I, 000 prisoners, besides the wouuded, are
left on our hand.

Second Dispatch. General Grant't
Headquarters. Jackson, Tenu., Oct.
...
To Major General llallcck, tieneral-iu
Chief U. S. Army : Gen. Ord, who fol
lowed Gen. Ilurllut and took command,
met the enemy to day on the south side
of Hatchie river, as 1 understand from hi
dispatch, and drove them and got posses
sion of the heights with our troops. Gen.
(Jrd took two batteries
aud about
pro
hundred prisoners.
A large portion of Gen. Reecrans'
forces were at Ferallc. At this distance
everything looks most favorable, and I
cannot see how the enemy arc to escajre
without losing everything but their suiail
arms. 1 have strained everything to take
into the fight -an adequate force, aud to
get them to the right place-.
U. S. Gkant, Maj. Gen. Com.
Position e f Lf.k's Army. The bulk
of L'Mj'sarmy, says Thursday's Washinc
tou Star, occupies the ground situated
between the Opequan creek and the
straight turnpike running from the river
opposite Wil'iamsport, and Winchester,
via Martinsburg, They have thus the
advantage of a considerable stream iu their
fiont, aud a capital means of transportation
and locomotion iu their rear. As they
cannot find a better position in that region
of country for defense in a field fight v
take it for granted that they will give us
battle there if anywhere East of the
fortifications of Winchester.
