The whole night they. had dreamed ol'the brilliant lights of the Christ- 1 mas, tree, ‘which had so glurk Usiy shone upon them yesterday evening. when, after patient waiting. the little bell had called them into the parlor. They had drenmed Nl5O of the many beautiful preaents which their parents had hung on the t 1 ee for them, to brighten their Christmas joy. Reluc tantl'y had they torn themselves army from this scene of joy last night when they re tired to rest. But. now. as the friendly‘ morning sun began to shine again upon the wow-covered tool's, they appeared once .mose dressed up hi for Sunday, ready to ‘ renew the‘tree and their ptouents, nml to j nke themselves glad with Chri-«ttys joy. ‘ ‘ ‘te morning pruned plcniantly away.—- 1 Tow de mid-day,wl)en the rays of the sun j had In dig it pleasant out ol'doors, and even the icic s at the eves began to melt.

Charlotte‘yus ready, and Mother ‘ William was easily induced to accompany them, especially as he Stilt! thereby render a [lll-Mum servwe to his tile sisters. Quickly'they threw then cloaks around 1 them, put on their warm witxtler bonuets, and thus protected against th cold, they ‘ leaped forth cheerlully in the {u e of I'm- , ter. True the air was sharp, Ind it their cheeks not a little; but, warmly c thed, 1 they did not heed that, and were soon in , the grove of spruce. Here was a beau 'ful sight. How She green twigs were overln d 1 with white frost, in which the rays of the 1 sun reflected like diamonds l 1 “Oh how beautiful l" said Auguste. “The trees Rhine almost as gloriously as our Christ mas tree With all its lights." She became snddenlyailent.

"that he should be so sad and distressed even on Christmas day ?” 'l‘he.children went u to him and asked him why he wept. “8h 1" said the boy, “my father is sick, and my mother is not lble to earn enough to procure us bread and keep.) us warm. Thus I must gather wood to keep father warm. Ido it ‘cheer iully ; {other is no good, and mother weeps so much; but to-day it is n cold l” And he began to weep still more bitterly. , Meanwhile the children had an oppor tunity to examine the boy. They easily saw that his poor clothes could not protect him against the weather, and that he was weeping because he was socold. For some time they all Itood and viewed the poor boy in silence, and teen filled the eyes of Auguste. Then the put her hand into her little basket, took out the little money the had in it,nnd gave it tothe boy. Charlotte and their brother did the some; for all had been deeply moved by the little boy’s miseries. ’ * He was much surprised nLthil, and look erl “this benefactor: in silence. But soon he brushedawuy his tears, and nttempled togivg expremon to his thanks and llls joy. “0 how glad mother will be 1” he’ said : “now she can make a. soup for father. nml heal up the room so that we can all be warmed." Then he shouldered his bundle of wood and hastened away. The children accompanied him for some distance, and On the way he had to tell them who his parents were, sad when they lived. “ll’ your parents new poor, you have hardly received any Christmas pres ent 1'" said Willinm. “Ah,” said the boy, "il I only could hove had something to i eat! But mother bud nothing to give me, andool new hungry to bed.” l lesntly, and n. earnest reflection, the ohildlen wenton theii way; And when they GETTYSBURG, PA., MONDAY, DEC-.26‘, 18624:. “nuts 1: man" AND nu.

Clmrlntte and lwnl hunt up something for him, and if you Will allow it, we will present it to him.” Glad ly did their mother give her assent. Mean while their father also came in ; and as he knew the father of the boy to be a very honest And industrious man. he also resolv ed to do something for the uulortunnte family. ~ "How would it be.” said the mother, "if we were to get all these things together as quickly as possible, and send for the boy to come here this evening, and then present. them all to him, I 0 as to produce a Luituble surprise. Then he could also have a Chriat mus joy. nt this time when all things he joyous." “0, that is excellent." exclaimed Au‘ guste. and immediately ran with the other ‘ children to gnthenup the present. with i whichchey intended to aurprise the poor j boy. i When they had collectgd I“ the piece: of clothing, Charlotte said: “1 know some? thing more which would be excellent. If we only could also preparer: Christmas tree for the boy. llow he would rejoice to see the mu'ny bright little lights 1" The sister’s were much pleased with the proposition; Ind William at once ofi'e‘red liiu servwea to carry it into effect. For a limit“ bit of money he bought a spruce tree. The little girls look some lights. also sweet‘ meats from their Christmas tree. and so in a short time all was arranged. With ulmnsl more impatience than yes lprdny did the children await. the evening. Just as it. was growing dark they requésted their moiber to send for the boy.

We have watched. with some care. the manoeuvres and tricks of the Abolition-poli ticiuns, in their “working up" of the army vote. Convinced. from the beginning. that they intended to use that vote tor the pur rpose of counting in their candidates. we l are not at all astonished, or disappointed, at their operutions in this regard, in our Congressionalpzlurliciol and Legislative dis tricts. We are only amazed at the coolness with which they cry “lraudi fraud 1” when the Dem lets try to avail themselves of I the protexon which thelmv throws around the rights of candidates. Like all ndehts i in the art of theft. they understand most thoroughly the trick of throwing ofi‘ suspi cion from themselves, by pointing to oth emand crying “stop thief!" Hence, in or der to divert attention from their own ini quity, they raise a terrible hue and cry about the course ofthe majority of the Con gressional, Judicial and Legislative return judge“. This is the secret‘ol the noise they are making about the conduct of thcse oth cers this and nothing more. They know, and have known fiom the beginning, tHnt, the granting ofcertificatcs ofelechon to the Democratic candidates tor Congress; Judge ‘ and Legislature, could not work them any injury. for there remained to them the right ofappeal to Congress and the Legislature, both of which bodies are composed of a ma jority at their own partizans. But they would rnther make the contest elsewhere, as was shown by their submitting the Judge question to Govt. Curtin’s lawyer,and by get-i ting up certificates to their candidates for; Congress and Legislature signed by min‘ori-i ties of the district return judges and by: persons who were not authorized by the county boards ofreturn judges to sign such ‘: certificates. Now. why this disinclinuiion; on their part to make their contest. once‘ tor all. before Congress and the Legislature?; Why this persistent effort, by hook and by } crook, by fair means and by foul, to obtain ‘, the certificates of election ? Simoly; be cause they fear an investigation ol the re turns from the army. and because they hope that it' the Democrats are compelled to take the initiative in the contest. there will not‘ be my contestyit all. ‘ We believe that the} Democratic candidates for Congrees, Presi- ; dent. Judge and Legislature, have a majori-i ty chill the legal votes ca’within their res-i pective iliatrictr. ’l'lio majorities claimed forf the Abolition condidnten. are 68 on Con-i gross. 122 on Preeident Judge, and as high 3 ae- L6B on Legislature. (The majority of 192 , set'down by the Abolition papers. for'itosel orer Meyeru. is an error of at icast 30 votes. i Oh this we will finger a new but.) Well,‘ initho county of Bedford alone. there are enough illegal (not merely informal) re turns from the army, taken in connection ‘ with the fraudulent votes which can be Proved, to wipe out any of these ninjorities. i this we confidently believe. The re turn: show that about 500 votes were polled i in the army by persons'claiming to he citi zens ol' Bedfurd county. Somerset county, i with the same’ populatinnus our own, polled ' but about 200, whilst Franklin, With nearly twioethe population ofßedl‘ord, polled but about 300. This shows fraud on the very face of the army returns for this county.— It is simply absurd to cl’itfi that Bedford county had 500 votes ‘in the army on the ‘ llth of last October. ; ‘_ ‘ ‘ -As,to "throwing out snidiers’ voles,” con cerning which the Abolition papers muke I 0 much ado. the Demoératic returnjudges ol Bedlord county did} not reject a single vote certified to them by the Prothomotm-y. But thé‘ Abolition return judges. because they were not satisfiedmm the l’rothono tan-X’s certificate. did refuse to count the “:9!- dir 3' vote,” and szccdcd from if“! board Q,’ return judga. Their éecuszon left (In “widiera’ vote” uncounlcd, the law requiring that all the judges present shall eign the returns.— Hence, it was because of the conduct. of these muli‘li Abohtidnjudges thauhe “sol dieru’ vote" 01 Bedford county was not in -36d in the districttreturm, and not be use of any desire on the pan of the Dam ocrnts to throw it out; and hence that vote remains unconnted La this day, and until recnunted by the proper tribunal, the Dem ocrutic candidates for Congress, President Judge and Lngislnture. by the very act of the Abolition return judges themselves. gland fairly and duly elected—Bayard Gazette. Soidier’: Voting Fraud.—'l‘he officers, in canvassing the votes for members of Con gress in the 81h New York district. “struck a mine” 01 Republican fraud. There were four candidates, viz: Thomas J. Bzrr and James Brooks, Democrats. and Provost. Marshal ‘B. F. Manierre and. Wm. E. Dodge, Republicans. The soldiers’ votes collected in the army of the Potomac were for Provost. Mdrshnl Mnuierre. Two or three days helore the election, Manierre de clined in favor of Dodge. and the canvass shows that the wldier’s ballots were chang ed from Manierre to Dodge.

TWO DOLLARS .I.me ADDRESS. To the Democratic Citizen: cl Penmylvania: I have but. waited the hardy mownwnts of our public authorities in (‘Olim‘fiihg 121.4 result oflhe election held on the Bill nil, in order to discharge incumbent. duty of culling your attention to the ungana by which n m ljm-ity 0f20,081 votes (us i now learn from official circles) has beenrrccord ed "gains: us. This majority is m’pde up from all the votes scaled to have been giv en in the districts at home, including those by proxy. and MI those given in the armies —nPgro voles and all—in awry fprm of returns. lliwlu‘. and otherwise. , There have been at least two palpable forms of il‘ltll'l practiced by the supporters of Abraham LlliC'llll, in order to ninke up this ln’ljul‘lty, and thus secure him the electruul vote of the State. Fictitious bul‘ lots have been placed in the bullotrboxes, answai-iiig to [ulna iegistries, the same iis hus been repeatedly proven to have been the clue in our (’lt-uttntiS lii-i‘etoluie: ulld,‘ secondly, the siifii'uges ol the volunteer sol diers have not only been tampered with, but trunslormed. In reference to fictitious votes, who believes that the city or Phila delphia has to—dny, or ever had, 99,00 U vu ters legally and properly registered in her various wards and precincts? Audi t that number of votes had been oountedyzl tlius resident—giving nearl2,ooo Abolition majority in a city ihht not many years since burnt an Abolition hall in open day, as a public nuisance! K The late attempt :0 exercise the right of sufimge on the part of the volunteer sol diers, has proved a signal failure—{urea I would call it, but for its various melancholy concomitants. The doubts entertained by many as to the wisdom and propriety of this measure, prior to its adoption, wonld seem to have been fully realized. It is impossible ever to secure a fair and full ilistribntion of tickets, so as to allow a free choice to the voters in army sen/ice.— The expenses of the attempts made to do so, are almost beyond belief. On the part of this State, they Wlll reach at least $30,- 000; and the two political organizations ex_- iiended fully as much more. The system Will always be liable to great abuses, and must ever be unequal in its opemiipn, and unfair in its results. . Certain it is, that the privilege of voting given to the soldier is a. mockery, when the very man ugainst whom perlmps,-he would like to vote, has the most despotic control over those _who rule that soldier’s every movement, nnd could send him at a word to the front of battle and to death, ifhe re fuses compliance with their behest». Un til the volunteer soldiery have'the power of choosing their own oflicera, the right of suffrage for other purposes can never be progerly carried into oifect in the army.— lln they been fairly and freely left to their own preferences, can any sane mun doubt, but that there would have been about the same proportionate division of sentiment expressed by the soldier in the late elections, that wus manifested by their fathers and brother! at home? - It is this army vote. (not to speak of the other frauds.) which has given our oppo nents their recent beggnrly triumphs in Pennsylvania. ~ Beggar-1y indeed—when it is recollected that it shows a falling off ,of from forty to fifty thousand intheir mn jority, within the last tour years! b‘uch a victory. and so obtained, betokens a speedy downfall as 5 party, to the advocates ofne< gro, equality in our staunch old Common wealth. Revolution: never go b-zclmrurds. It is wottliy ol remark here also, that a change of twenty five thousand votes properly ui 'lded amongst the larger States, would have defeated Mr. Lincoln altogether. It was our duty. fellow Citizens, to have rescued the constitution at the late elec~ tions, it' We coulu. The etl'ort was gullantly but. umuccespfully made. And now, In View of all that must ineyitahly trampire within the next lour years, I lee] honestly more like congratulating you as a political party. on having escaped a fearful rebpon nbility. than oflering explanations and condolence over a deteat. After entailing a weight of suffering upon this country, from which nothing but the most radical measures, can ever relieve it; alter having forced into operation a financial system, which is but the musk olruin in that re gard; otter so mis-menaging the unfortu nate Civil war now upon their hands. as to leave scarcely 3 hope of demg the Union —it l 8 but right that the Abolitionists, and theirinstrumenl, Abraham Lincoln, should remain ID a position. t) feel the first fruit of their own wickednee‘s and folly, and meet the curses and condemnation of an outraged and auti‘ering people, when the impending clouds shall mature into Horn} and darkness. Our plain duty, fellow citizens, both as a party and an patriots, is to maintain our 1 noble organization in all its power and ec tiviiy. t now comprises upwards of two hundred and seventy-six thousand freeman -—the bone, sinew end brains of the Com monwealth. Every hope of an ultimate rte-union of the States, and of restoring the Government and laws to their original in rity and vigor, lie! in the progress and ulti mate triumph ofthe Democrtcy. We must still continue to act as the sentinels oi free dom, and vindicate our time-honored prin ciples before the people. instead of dis banding our clubs and associations, let us increase their number end inapirit their ac tion.

The very idea of a Military Commis sion sitting in the lieuitol our laithful. law sbiding old Commonwealth, to try anything but simply breaches of military law and regulations, is monstrous and unbelrnhlo. Our Legislature t'iuily humbled itself to subserviency, in passing lays punishing any resistance, by word or deed, to the con scription laws of Congress; and Congress in its turn has piled enactment on enact ment—now endorsing our gracious Presi dent’s praclamations of martial law, and next restraining them—hut. all the while pointing to the L‘ii'il Courtr as the proper tri» hunnls to try the clasu of offenses newly an nounced—shall I say, cars-rim, by both I’resident and Congress—Lord and Master: of a submisstve people!
