Middli town and Petersburg. Competent sj c.ik-j e:s will address these meeting i. B@~ "A suggestion was made in the late county Convention, that each township should raise a fund for the campaign. The Democrats of Forward township, ever prompt and reliable, luetat once and raised twenty-five dollars. So says the j Herald." We have thirty-six election j districts in the county ; if each -of them I would raise a similar amount the aggregate , would amount to the nice sum of SHOO.00! What is th is money for ? Their southern brethren are uow reduced to great extre mities, perhaps this is intended as a sort of secret service fund, and may be handed over to Davis & Co., for the purpose of enabling him to hold out ti 1 after the election. We would advise honest Demo crats to know for what purpose thev are contributing their money. Would it not be better to contribute to the Sanitary or Christian Commissions, and thereby as sist in relieving thi wants of our brave though much aflictcd soldiers. Ka?" "Dan Rice, the inimitable, has been nominated in the 27th district, which composed the counties of Kric and Craw ford. This district has long been repre sented by Morrow 15. Lowry, a red hcad •ed, fine-eating Abolitionist. We hope Dan, whose letter of acceptance has the Irue Democratic ring, will be elected." .So says our neighbor of the Herald, but lie is slightly mistaken. If wc have been •correctly informed, Beef Diglcr is the Democratic candidate in the Erie district, •at any rate it is not the 27th. Mr. Low ry has represented Erie and Crawford •counties in the State Senate, isre-nomina ■ted and will beat the showman Rice, by probably four thousand votes. tSsS" In making the opening speech at the Copperhead meeting on Tuesday, the 27th ult., Ed. M. I? red in. Est), said that the man who said that Gen. M'Clellan j was a coward, was himself "either drunk j or crazy." We have never indulged in harsh expressions in relerenco to Gcu, McClellan personally, nor is it necessary, his associations arc sufficient to defeat him and will do it. But we trust Mr. Bredin has not forgotten the fact, that he—hav ing been out with the Militia, after the battle of Antietam, on returning home,and whilo talking of the result of that battle, ■and the relative strength of the armie#, said that Gen. M 'Clellan, was so well con- Yinccd of the superior fighting qualities of the rebels, that he would not risk a Ibattlc unless his army numbered three to oue of the rebel army umder Lee ! If lie has, we wish thus to refresh his mem ory fyr jt is a fast capable of proof. ©a?" A dispatch from St. Louis says : "A passenger train on the Northern Missouri Road was captured on Monday by bushwhackers, and twenty-one soldiers found on the cars were taken out and murdered." It was to prevent this class of rebels from controlling the elections in the bor der States that an order was issued last fall requiring prrsons of doubtful loyalty to take an oath to support the Constitution of the United States before voting. Against this order every Copperhead in the land protested. They are now over running Missouri for the purpose, doubt less, of the loyal party and 'throwiag the vote for McClellan ! Should they be allov. Ed to vote ? Certainly not. \et the Chicago platform, upon which LiUle Mac stauds, pledges the Democratic p'.rty to protect them in the right of voting—a right woich should be exer cised by loyal men only. It is with ref erence to this subject that the Chicago Convention " Resolved, That the direct interfer ence of the military authority of the United States in the recent elections held in Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri and Delaware was a shameful violation of the Constitution, and a repetition of such acts in the approaching emotions will be held '"volutionary, and will N resisted with nr. .. 1 nower under fur eon- All tfcte «&»»» »» u 112 trol.

BALTIMORE Sept. 29. Richmond papers of Monday con tain the following items : On Sat urday and yesterday heavy cannona ding was heard in the direction of Harrisonburg. Gen. Early reached j reached lveseltown at 11 o'clock yes | terday. Opinions are divided wheth j er he will make a stand there or fall further back. There is considerable excitement among the citizens of Sta un ton, and many are leaving. The sick and wounded and the Govern- j ment stores have been moved to a | place of safety. Sheridan may take j Staunton, but its capture will avail j him nothing. The Valley since the j j war began has been a race ground. ] Sheridan has severed the other end of the course and if he don't pull up of his own a :cord, he will be pulled up. From Culpeper we hear that there is no enemy in that country except a small body of cavalry that recently buaied a bridge at llapidan Station. President Davis arrived at Macon, Ga., on the 22d inst., and made a speech thero. Ho is Going 10 Hood's army. No movement of any conse quence by the we toy are reported up { to the last accounts. The expulsion of the citizens of Atlanta has been completed. It was reported yester day that Hood's army was in Sher man's rear, between him and Chatta- j nooga. A large force of mounted Yankees j are collecting at Pound Gap, with } the intention of making a raid on the Virginia salt works.
