The third, and Inst thought presented in the text, which we can but briefly con sider. is the reason whv we *hinll return to God. It is this: ' lie hith torn, and he will heal us: he hith smitten, and he will bind us up." That God ha* torn us sorely, and smitten us with a heavy stroke, we know from sad and painful cxperi ence. The graves of a hundred thous and of our brave countrymen, who have laid down their lives in defence of the liberties. Constitution, and integrity of onr loved country, abundantly attests this. A hundred battle fields, fattened with the lifes blood of our slain friends and fellow citizens, gives ample evidence of this.— The families bereaved, the hearts bleed ing, and crushed with anguish, and the ten thousand happy homes made desolate, affords ample evipence of this. The lam entation, weeping, and great mourning. *ll over our once smiling land, for hus bands, sons and brothers, who will return no more, until the grave shall become tenautloss. and the sea shall give up her dead; abundantly attest this. The wid owed wives and fatherless children ; the halt and the maimed ; the fruitful fields made desolate, and the pleasant towns burned with fire, all show how severely God hath torn us, ifnd how hardly he hath smitten us. But if we humbly repent of our sins and. return unto him, he will freely forgive us ; he will heal us, and bind up our bleeding wounds, (iod only can save ua. None but the arm of Al mighiy Power can rescue us from the dangers which imperil our national exis tance, and give us complete triumph over rebellion, and an honorable and righteous peace. All human power and human means are and must be vain, without the aid of the Lord God of Hosts. We have instrumentalities in abundance, but they of themselves will be of no avail. We have vast armies, the power of our coun try. strong, noble, brave men, well eqnip ed and disciplined, and ready to dare and todiefor Union and Liberty, but this will not suffice. We have a a l ' o ® l an| l P o,v " erful Navy, iron-clad ships with skillful and heroic commanders, and daring erews. rivaling and ready to'com pete with the proud Navy of Great Britain, once the queen of the seas ; but this will not suf fice. We have munitions of war in great abundance and of every kind, but these will not suffice. We have military skill of a very high order, but this is not enough. We have vast resoutcesof men and money and provision?, to defray the j expenses of our Government, and sustain onr armies in the field, but all these will rot suffice. "The race is not tothe swift nor the battle to thestrong: God settpth tip one. and putte'h down another." We put too much confidence in men and in means. Wc exalt human agency and leave out of view the supreme and all controlling power of the Most Hisrh. We glorify our Generals and forget to give glow to the l.ord our God. Let us sin cercly return front our wanderings unto God, an l put our trust in liiui. and seek help and safely from him only. The voice of tied culls us saying: "Return ve backsliding children. return, and I will heal your baeksliditigs." God is infinite ly kind and gracious, and willing to de liver us. If we truly humble ourselves befose him. and repent of our sins and return unto him, he will have mercy up on 11s lie will say of lis as of his people of old ; '• Uotf shall I give thee up. Eph raiui? how shall T deliver thee, Israel? how shall T make thee as Admaho ? how shall T set thee as Zcboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repenting* arc kin dled together. I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger." ITos. 11-8,9. lie is a God, '■ That pardoneth iniquity, and pnsseth by the transgressions of the remnant of his heritage; herctaineth not his angerfor ever, because he deligliteth in mercy, lie will turn again and have compassion upon us." Micali, 8-18,10. If then we come to him with true humil ity and submission, lie will raise us up. and exalt us. and maks us yet a great and good, a glorious and happy people. Wo shall he hi* people, and God himself shall be our God. And''Happy is that peo ple that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord." To Gen. K. E. I,ec. 112. N. A. The following interesting letter from Gen. Grant was written in reply to a leng thy letter from Gen Lee, discussing the legal Statues of the various classes of union soldiers when taken prisoners by the Rebels—Grant lets him\now in few words that the laws of war aro his only rule of action : GKNKKAl, —Understanding from your letterof the 19th. that the colored prison ers were cnployed in the trenches neur Fort Gilmer, have been withdrawn.

Bib?- Sheridan gained another signal victory over the rebel forces iu the valley on the I'.Hh inst. One brave fellow from our old ueighliorhood. Frank Kastman, we aie sorry to say, has been severely wounded—the Pittsburgh papers inform ed us that lie was wounded in the shoul der and neck, but a private letter written to a friend conveys the sad intelligence that bi« arm has been amputated. Ou the l'.lth of Sept. this regiment suffered severely, a neighbor of young Eastman's —Samuel Keufrew, tell ou that day; from a letter iu the hands of a frieud, we see some of the particulars of his death sta ted, the concluding paragraph of which says ''Samuel was a good soldier, and fell while nobly doing his duty," we hope soon to hear of Enstiuaus cenv«l«scen?e Xnrjland is Free. It is with delight we announce that this noble State on our Southern border ! is, at last free. The psople by a direct ' vote have adopted the new Constitution. ; by which freedom is declared throughout 1 the land to all the inhabitants thereof! j An injunction was asked for to restrain ! the Governor from counting the vote of j the army (without it, the uew Constitu i tion would not lttive been adopted.) the i court below refused the writ; an appeal was taken to the superior court, but it too, refused ; and the Governor lias by proclamation declared that from and after the first of November instant, the new Constitution shall be the organic 'law of the State Thus this barbarous in stitution is swept from another State. Three cheers for " my .Maryland." A Scriiioii. In to-days paper will be found a ser mon preached on the 4th of August lust by Ilev. Win I'. Harvison. It is prefa ced by a short introduction by the author, from which, as well as from other sour ces wc are led to believe that the '-con servative" (!) part of his congregation at Mt. Nebo have taken offence at his anti slavery utterances. We are sorry to say that the congregation at Mt. Nebo is not the only one thus disturbed. Is it not strange to reflect, tliat a fast decaying and disloyal organization, which is soon to disappear from the face of the earth still { retains such a hold on some, whom we j would fain believe sincere—first arousing their prejudices and then their passions, I until they and their families are (in sorne j instances) fiually without the pale of the church and its sacred influence! We are sorry to see a congregation dis turbed; but we rejoice, nevertheless, to know that the ministry, following the example of the' Author of their holy j Religion, are nobly discharging their du- j ty. "declaring the whole council of God j whether men hear or forbear." Let who will forsake them their Heavenly Father j will sustain them with llis grace. The I .si Mt Itnll)' for A'ntloiial Unity ! The people of Pennsylvania have been I heavily taxed this season, not only in money but in time. The ruling of our courts made it necessary to amend the Constitution, so as to secure the elective franchise to the soldier—this measure wa:< fought all the way through by the Copperhead party, but nobly did the union j men turn out, even in harvest, to the j number of two hundred thousand! A glorious victory was achieved. In October we were again called upon | to meet the foe and nobly was it done, the enemy too, delivered hie main assault in Pennsylvania, but nobly did the Union lines stand and repulse their repeated as saults, until our gallant reserves—the voice of the army came, and in a single assault swept the cohorts of slavery and treason before them ! Another great conflict is before us. not so sanguinary—not so desperate now. j The massed forces of Lee when thrown against our advancing columns at Spot- j ylvania, or the Wilderness, although they I could no where disorganize, could never- t theless make fearful onslaught; it is not so now however, their assaults are feeble, never deranging the movements of our I forces—-tliey are rodusedand disheartened ] at the fruitlessness of the attempt—so it ! is with our adversary at heme, he has ex- j hauscd all his power to break ourlincs in ' October; this was necessary in order to ! gain prestage for November. But while he is disheartened he is still necessitated to draw out his shattered hosts once more. We must therefore, drive them from the field, and finish this momentous cam paign with their final dispersion. Let every friend of his country of "lib erty regulated by law." prepare to do his whole duty. Let committees be active. ! For the last time we appeal to you, to see ' to it that every man whose heart is in the ! right place, shall vote on the eighth inst.

Horrid Ailiilr. On Tuesday evening of last week, a notorious character bythc name of G. W. Stillwagon, while returning from New Castle, stopped at Eyth's Hotel, in Cen treville, for supper: after supper, not finding Mr. Eyth in the bar-room, he went across the street to the Hotel kept by Mr. Christley, and called for liquor, but was refused, whereupon he became enraged, and was finally requested to leave the house,(he is said to have been intoxica ted at the time) he refused togo and used a dirk freely on Mr. Christley, in flicting four severe wounds, two in the breast, one in the back part of the should er. and one in the lower part of the ab doman. We arc glad to be able to say that Mr. Christley, is likely to reooVer. Stillwagon is confined in Jail, where we hope, he will be detained until justic* reaches him. Many of our readers will, doubtless re member him as the leading character amongst the disturbers of a Union meet ing, held in the Court House, on Mouday evening the 20th of September last. B<sf" Immediately aTtertKeadjournment of the special .session of the Legislature, we sent to llarrisburg, and at our own cost, procured a certified copy of a sup plement to our Local Bounty Law, which was published in our paper of 28th Sept. But as there is still much inquiry as to some of its provisions; below we give the 4th Section, being the most important Scctiou; we hope our readers will pre serve it for reference. SEC. 4. The said boards of School Di rectors in making the Exhonorations and Exemption*, provided by the act to which this is a supplement, shall Exonerate and Exempt the property of all persons who have lost two or more sons in the service; also, the property of those who now have two or more sous in the service, without having received any local bounty; also, all the property of all widows and fami lies, whose husbands or fathers who have fallen in battle, or dieAin the service. JEST' On next Tuesday, the Bth inst.. the people of the United States will de clare by their votes, whether they are in favor of Abraham Lincoln, arida vigor ous prosecution of the war, or (icorge 15. McClellan and a separation of this coun i try! -Some may ( hink this toostrong, but we have no hesitation in declaring that, whether McC'lellan would favor it or not, hia election would be the division of this country. Foreign Governments are always justi j fied in acknowledging the existence of a new government, whenever it appears clear that the old or legal government lias not power to overcome it—the Chicago Con vention has told the world that it is the '•sense of the American people" that four years of war is a failure; let the senti ment be en<Wh<ed by the people at the polls, and England and France would un doubtedly recognize the Southern Confed eracy at once: and in justification of it. would refer tis to the verdict of our own people. This is the view taken by Rob ert J. Walker, and others, now in Europe they assure us that those two great powers would not hesitate a day to declare the rebellion a success, should the Chicago candidates and platform be endorsed by the people. All those who favor this state of tlungs. should vote for McClellau, contra, for Lincoln. And ill notlsor. Last week we gave an extract from a patriotic Democrat, who, though origin ally, one of McClellan's warmest friends, could not endure the disloyal combination at Chicago, and therefore felt in duty bound togo for Lincolu—or as we have it in his own words—he could not sustain McClellan longer and be true to his coun try. This week we have been handed another letter of the *amo kind from the pen of an ardent Democrat, Mr. W. W. Maxwell, of the 78th Regiment lie writes as follows: NASHVILLE, Oct. 20. 18(34. Dear Sir : —After niyrespcets to you, I would request you to pay my county tax and forward me the receipt, RI j that I can vote at the Presidential elec- I tion. 1 understand the last election was J pretty close in our State, and 1 want to be prepare 1 to vote for Lincoln and John ! son. oil the Bth of November. It may seem strange to you to know that I am going to vote that ticket, by' I as I have spent three years fighting for I the restoration of the Union, I cannot i give my support to the nominees•bf the I Chicago Convention; Placed, as they J are, on a peace at any price platform but ' will give my hearty support to the nom inees of the Union jfluty. Send there ceipt so that 1 can getiny vote, and I will re-pay you. 1 remain yours, very respectfully, W W. MAXWELL. (ilrand I nlon I*omon«lr«tlon. It was our good fortune to lie present ; at the Union Convention, at Harmony, on Tuesday last. We have seen many j fine gatherings in Butler County, in the j last twenty years , but none ever before i witnessed compared with the Harmony j Convention*ofTucsday-Ourfriends iu the j South-west deserve great praise for the | energy and taste displayed in this demon stration. It speaks well for the good cause in that section. The cause of the Union has certainly nothing to fear from that quarter. The assembled multitude was addressed by able speakers both in German and English, Mr. Seigerneck (German) and Messrs. Righam, Marshall and Graham made able speeches. We were sorry that business arrange ments prevented us from seeing the close of the days labor, but we saw enough to convince us that all was well. That day will long be rcmenbered by the many thousands who helped to swell the throng. Our Butler delegation was a little late in arriving, we had not, therefore, much time to spare in examining the different devices, banners, and various arrangements that helpt to augment the interest of the occasion. A wagon drawn by six tine hor ses containing thirty-five young ladies, wearing appropriate costuuie to represent the thirty-fivo States, (which belonged to the Evansburg delegation,) was certainly full of interest to the observe*, not only by the appearance of the charmingly handsome young ladies who compo sed the group, but beiug emblemat ic of a United country, it aroused the natioual spirit. We noticed a wagon drawn by a yoke of cattle and bearing a length of rail timber, with a rustic old gentleman, with maul and wedge in band splitting it into rails—all could under stand the figure. Iu another delegation we noticed an old gentleman—he was in the custody of squire Sample, of Cran berry, upon his old hat, was this inscrip tion " Jeff. Davis," a hard looking sight he was, the personification of distress even remorse seemed to have made an im pression on his haggard countenance— it was doubtless a good figure of that dis tinguished rebel; had we space, we would like togo more into detail, but must fur bear—those who were absent missed a great treat. SoiiNnl'lilbcrt.v, Hiillot Forgers. When a party, by reason of theii faith lessness to their country, loose the confi dence of the people, there is uo know ing how far they will go in deeds of infa my. iua vain hope to gain power. A stri king illustration if this is seen in the freedom with which the Butternuts of the Northwest went into the treasonable order called the ''Sons of Liberty," be coming bound together by disloyal oaths, for the purpose of opposing the Govern ment by force of ariiis if need be, to re gain power. For a time they seemed to prosper, ami great feai-s wore entertained, that by the thoroughness of their organi zation as also secrecy of their move ments, they might accomplish much mis chief The fall elections were eoniing on, the rebel armies were to invade the west and to be able to assist them and in timidate loyal men—as also, us was pro ven. for the purpose of overthrowing the loyal state authorities, arms must bo had; the procurement of these iu New Yoik. and their shipment to leading Demo crats of Indiana, was discovered in time to intercept them ! the arrest of implica ted parties followed, confessions were made, testimony produced, and the whole plot, treasonable as it was, was made pub lic—public indignation became aroused, and these conspirators of the nations life, wore swept from the state with one tor rent of patriotic indignation. A more recent plot, and meaner still, if meaner could be, has recently been gotten up in New York, by the agents, and of course, "the friends" oi Gov. Seymour, by which they not only antici pated the forging of the names and bal lots of living soldiers, but of dead he roes. The matter is but partially "un earthed.'' We are happy to believe how ever. that this meanest of all crimes has been discovered in time to counteract its pernicious influences, and to sweep Suy niour and his dogs from, the presence of an insulted people. The following confession of one of the guilty parties, who had been arraigned before a military commission, will throw some light on the subject: JERRY'S CONFESSION " Ido not recollect the time when the first papors were forged, but it was in the presence of O. K Wood of Cliuton Coun ty ; it was done in my office, No. 85 Fay ette St., Baltimore; 1 am,and have been for the past two years, the Agent for the State of New-York, appointed by Gov. Seymour, to look after the sick and woun ded soldiers of New-York ; 1 first saw Wood on Wednesday of last week, at my office; he caine aud represented himself as an agent of tho'Central Committee of his county to look alter its local ticket; ho talked about the way iu which votes could be taken ; It was agreed that we should sign the names of soldiers and of ficers and then sew! Thou home to have the local tickets filled in; 1 made out onic papers; 1 signed the name of sold iers on quite a number of them ; I can not tell what names we signed ; the pa pers are now in the bundle on the table; I did not sign names of officers, but Don ahue signed any quantify of them ; there was a large package of tlieso papers left with me which I destroyed; that pack age contained over 200; Donahue signed fhem all; the idea of forging these papers was first suggested by a man named Ste phen Mason ; he is -from the Western part of the State of New-York; I do not know from what county; he is not in the service; he i. a State agent; I connotsay at what time it was first proposed to forge these papers; it was almost two weeks ago; 1 do not think there was any body present but Donahue and myself when Mason first proposed to forge the papers; there was a.uian named Bundy in my of fice ;he is now in New-York ; also a man named H Ncwcomb; I never saw him until he came there ; ho is a lawyer iu Al bany ,' part of the forged papers were made in my office, and part were brought there; they were usually brought in a bundle tied up ; I do not know who bro't them ; I had no letter from Peter Cagger, except what were fouud in my desk ; I never knew any correspondence on this subject with Gen. Farrell, the Commissa ry of subsistence, except the package which you have; tho package cantaincd a lot of blank envelopes and powers of attorney, with a letter from Gen. Farrell, marked " confidential," which coutained a list of the names of the residents of Columbia Co.; I did not let any one know I destroyed the forged papers left with me, but told my associates that 1 sent them to differ ent parties in {he State to be mailed ; a youug man came from Washington on Friday or Saturday last, saying if 1 had any spare blanks to 6end them onto Washington ; I am not certain that he did or did not say anything about there being twenty men over there who could attend to theso matters ; I do not know how many forged papers were sent off; but I heard them say they sent them from Washington by the dry goods boxfull; I do not recollect hearing them talk dis paragingly, but they talked quite jubi lantly and confidently ; I sent a packrge of torged papers to Gen.

McCall, who commanded the division of Pennsylvania Keservcs during General McClellan'» I'cn insula Campaign, has published a .engtliy document, fully and satisfactorily refuting the charges against the Reserves, con tained in the latter's official reports ©!' the battle of Wilson's Farm, or (ilendale, as it is variously called. The Pennsylva nia Reserves, as gallant and as faithful a corps as was in the army, lias by this report of General McClellan, been un justly aspersed, and although his attention has been called to tin l fact, and proofs of his errors tendered, he lias up to this time refused to do justice to this division of the army, as well as to his owu charac ter lis an impartial man. The following in the Philadelphia In quirer'* summary of General Met'all's report, and we commend it to the careful attention of every friend of (be Pennsyl vania Reserves: The first complaint against General McClellan is that he has •reported that the Reserves wore attacked at, that battle above live o'clock in the afternoon, " and gave way in less than an hour." The fact is that they were attacked at three o'clock and held their possition until af ter dark, more, than four hours. That the attack was made at three o'clock is shown by tha reports of Hooker and Sumner, and acknowledged by lien Mc- Clellan himself in quotations from the reports of those officers. In regard to the division giving away at all, the state ment is pronounced false by General Mc- Call and General Meade. The division held its ground, and it was its stubborn resistance alone which permitted the con centration of the army in'its rear during the night. The original report of Gen. McClellan admitting that two of his leg inients supporting a battery, were com pelled to give way, whilst his centre was still engaged, which engagement contin ued until the rebels were repulsed. The ■ egiments which hail given way were in formed, and the battery was recaptured ; but t'i« 'riving way of two regiments is not the giving way of a division of fif teen regiments, and the officer who could have assumed that it was, in the face of the weli known stand made by the re maining thirteen regiments, could not have had his wits about him, or was deep ly prejudiced agaiust the troops which ho aspersed. General McClellan i nth is ignorance or malice, asserts in another part of his re port that certain regiments of Hlocum's division were sent to occupy McCall'a (lese.rtrd potitiun, thus insinuating that the position had been disgracefully aban doned. This idea seems to have been General McClellan's own. 110 did not derive it from the reports of any of his officers. It is a part of the same theory that McCall'a Division had given way, when, in fact, it had done no such thing; but maintained its ground, and saved the army. It is showu by General McCall that these troops of Slocum's did not oc cupy any position which the Reserves had held; but that the ground was really a partof General Kearney's position. Gen. McClellan therefore falsely assumed that it was McCall's position which had been deserted, although the ground had not been occupied by him, and there is noth ing to show that it had been "abandoned" by Kearney, or any other officer. It was, in fact, a new position. The gravest complaint against General McClellan is that he asserted in his final report of the seven days,' battles, made at Harrison's Landing, that of the twenty five guns lost during those days, twenty one were lost by McCall's Division " giv ing way under the onset of superior num bers and yet General McClellan, in an other partof his report, says that twenty two guns were lost at the battle ofCaines Mills, nineteen beingtaken by the enemy, aud three being run over the bridge and sunk. Gen. Harry, Chief of Artillery, certifies that the guns lost by McCall's Division at Gaines Mills, were but " a very small portion of the whole number lost llicro." It is admitted that Randall's battery was lost by McCall at New Mar ket Cross Road, but they were recaptur ed. They could not be removed for tin; want of horses, forty of these animals be longing to the battery having been killed. The guns remained all night outside of the enemy's pickets, and could have been brought in. but < ieneral Ileiritzelman re fused permission to Captian Randall to bring them in because •• it might bring on another battle." The rebels did not tnko possession of them until after eight o'clock the next day, they being aban doned and not taken by the enemy in battle. This was not. Gen. McCall's fault, because before that time bo was a prisoner. The matters thus presented by Hon. Mc all are of importance to the rc-j ila tioii of Pennsylvania troops and the hon or of the State. Gen. McClellan is con victed of having wilfully stigm.iti7.ed the reputation of those brave soldiers without cousc o* exedse, as Gen. McCall clearly shows. The facts are so plain that the position of the General-ln chief cannot be defended liy honorable men. The question naturally arises, if Gen. McClel lan'* reports, in a matter of so much im portance as this, is shown io.be falsi- prej udiced and unjii-t. how inneh reliance can be placed upon any of li " ' til nil reports." > I;H Al> V £|BTLH£M I.
