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."

The following interesting letter from
Gen. Grant was written in reply to a leng
thy letter from Gen Lee, discussing the

soldiers, but regard it my duty to protect
nil persons received into the army of the

of the Government are captured they
must tie treated as prisoners of war, or
such shreatuieut as they receive will he

I have uothiug to do with the discus

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. I
Good morals—Religion,Liberty and Union j
all require this at our hands Let us not)
disappoint them; and before another No- I
vernier is upon us, we will be enjoying ;
the peace secured by this victory, with a
re-united country and with liberty through
out the land from the lakes to the gulf
and from ocean to ocean.
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,

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.

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. Farrell with the
following letter:

McOlellan's Reflections Refuted.
Major-general George A. 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."
