OF THE UNCONDITIONAL

Of Cumberland County
At a preliminary meeting of the Union
Executive Committee, held in the Bo
rough of Carlisle, September 14th inst.,
it was determined to hold a Grand 111 as.
Meeting of the Unconditional Union Men
of Cumberland County,
IN CARLISLE,
On Saturday, October 10th, 1863.
The untoward circumstances in which
our country has been placed by the most
wicked rebellion that has ever taken place
in the history of the world, demands of
those who truly love their Country and
prefer the perpetuation of institutions
which give breath and life to Liberty
throughout the world to be watchful and
vigilant in this our beloved Country's hour
of extreme peril. It is necessary to thwart
the machinations of those whose motto is
"rule or ruin ;" whose hearts are desirous
that the South should triumph..;._ who are
constantly denouncing the Administration
in its efforts to crush the rebellion, by the
very means which the legislative branch
of the National Government has granted
it, and who would . rather "rule in Hell
than serve in Heaven." It is most neces
sary, therefore, that the true, loyal men
of the Country should gird on their ar
mor to meet these dastards and defeat
their purposes.
We say then, to the people of Cumber
land County come to Carlisle on Satur
day the 10th of October next, and show
these disguised traitors that you well-un
derstand their purposes, and are fully pre
pared to meet and deal with them as they
BO richly deserve.
Let us have a Grand Rally,— A glori
ous meeting. To the ramparts, soldiers!
and prepare for the warfare ! Young men
of Cumberland County—old men of Cum
berland rally and come in your strength
and pride, and join your voices with ours
in swelling a shout for freedom—for free
men, that will be heard from the Dela
ware to the Lakes. Come with drums
beating, and banners flying. Come Re
publicans, Come Union men, come Dem
ocrats and hear the principles of the
Union Party expounded and discussed.
Honest Democrats, we Invite you, and
insist upon it, that you come and hear for
yourselves. Come one, come all, devote
one day to the consideration of the mighty
interests involved in the coming contest !
Eminent speakers from abroad will be
present, whose names will be announced
in due time. By order of the Executive
eetrmittee.
J. M. WEAKLEY, Chairman
UNION MEETINGS.
A Spirited Campaign.
Our friends in the county, we are glad to
say, are fully awake to the inportance of. the
present campaign, and are making every
honorable effort to carry the—county for the
good cause. Ecnthusiastio meetings have
been bold at Carlisle, West Fairview, Centre
ville, Leesburg, and Newburg. Meetings are
announced for every night next week, when
we hope to have the assistance of an eloquent
arid effective spettkerAlly IltintingdOn coun
ty. Friends of Curtin and
,the Goverment
read the appointments in another column and
lee that a full attendance is secured for every
one of them.

at the terrible manner of some people's

If proof was wanting to show that the lead.
`ere of the Democratic party are in league with
the rebels, the article from the Richmond Ex
aminer, printed in this week's Herald, is suffi
cient for that purpose. The Enquirer' is the
leading journal of the Richmond trilitois, and
in this article we have the interest that i 8
felt by the arch traitors in the approaching
elections in the North. Gen. Leo is admon•
Mod as to his duties; ho "must turn politi
cian well as warrior, and he may prove the
most successful politician the Confederacy
ever produced." Political results are to be
produced "which will prove more effectual than
the bloodiest of victories." Mende is to be
driven into Washington, and thus Lee will
"raise the spirits of the Democrats, confirm
their timid, and give confidence to their waver•
ins." Pennsylvania is again to be invaded,
to " embolden the peace party," and show
the people how little " security they have
from Lincoln for the protection of their
homes." And then the " friends of " McClel
lan" are to play a prottinent part. They wilt
assail the Administration for more shameful
failures than those for which he was die.
missed." It is strange that the Enquirer ad
mits of McClellan having failed at all. Its
Northern friends will not. The success of the
Democratic party is also greatly desired. . Its
"::access would be.no longer doubtful should
Gen. Leo once more advance on Meade. Par
ties in the United States are co nearly bal
anced that the least advantage thrown in favor
of one will insure its success;" and the pow.
er (?) of the Confederacy is to be used to give
this advantage to the Democracy."
Can any one doubt, after such evidence,
that the party headed by Judge WOODWARD is
allied to the slaveholders rebellion, which has
robbed our forts and arsenals, stolen and
burnt our ships and confined in loathsome
prisons and deliberately murdered our sons
and brothers? Can they any longer dOubt
that this rebellion, which is fast falling before
the steady: blows ,of North,.
.enxiously
awaits the success of its " Democratic" friends
to again warm it into life ?
Men of Pennsylvania, meditate on the words
of the rebel journal, and remember that the
Success of Judge WOODWARD is infinitely more
desired by the rebels, than the •' bloodiest of
With SEYMOUR, WOODWARD and
VALLANDIOTIAM, you would be laid prostrate
at the feet of rebel power, and your liberty
and manhood forever sacrificed, with your
country dismembered, and your flag, the em

dust. Will you, can yen, support Woonwmto
with his known treasonable sentiments ?

Look to the Assessment Lists
The friends of Curtin throughout the noun
ty should at once see that every union voter
is assessed in each district, on or before the
3d of October. Exandno the public lists hung
up at the places of voting. If your name, and
your neighbor's names, and the names of cit
izen soldiers, absent in the late nine mouths
service, or now absent in the service of the
country, are not on it, see that they are
placed there. Every .citizen having a resi
dence within the bounds of this Common.
wealth has a right to vote. We have reason
to believe that a conspiracy has been organ
ized by the Democracy where the assessors
are of their ilk, to defraud Union men and
especially somiltuts of their voles. SEE TO
IT, FREEMEN, THAT YOU ARE NOT THUS
xlEgir-We see by the elegantly colored show
bills posted around town, that a large bear
show, alias Democratic Mass Meeting is to be
held in Carlisle on Thursday Oct. 8. A large
number of highly-trained animals are to be
exhibited under the accomplished ring-mas
tership of the prominent Carlisle cop's. We
see the name of //on. CHAS. W. CARRIGAN,
announced on the bills as a star. When we
knew this gentleman he was only plain CHAR.-
LEY CARRIGAN ; but since then he tried his
hand at running for Congress, and was sound
ly beaten by the patriotic THAYER, and we
reckon this Honorable has been adopted by
way of stiffener for some future tilt in the
same direction. Honorable CHARLEY has been
telling the people in Philadelphia and vicinity
that Cumberland County would be good this
fall-for at least 1600 for WOODWARD. His
friends here remember that in the campaign
of 1860 ho telegraphed from Philadelphia that
that city would give FOSTER at least 10,000
majority, adding to his despatch the advice
"bet all the money you can got on POSTER'S
election." Acting on this information a num
ber of the faithful hero, did bet their money
on the result and well they know the
rest. If he can find any one in Philadelphia
green enough to wager any cash on his esti
mate of this County, greenbacks must be
plontie . r and gumption scarcer that in any lo
cality we hove yet heard of.
A RELIGIOUS DISEASE.—Last year a very
extraordinary scene presented itself at the
church of Montmartre, , Paris, on the day
when the young females of the parish take
their first communion. Upwards of fifty of
the young communicants were suddenly seiz
ed with convulsions, and some of them with
epilepsy. This year, the same circumstance
has occurred upon a smaller scale. About
a dozen of the communicants have been
similarly attacked. Those that were taken
to the hospital have been cured almost with
out medicine. It appears to be rather a re
ligious fanaticism than any real malady.
The singularity is the periodicity of these
convulsions, and the rapidity ,with which
morbid sympathy is conveyed amongst so
many individuals.
TIIR SOLDIERS NOT ALL FOR CURTIN.—We
have frequently stated that, the soldiers wore
the fast friends of Andrew G. Curtin, and
that they would in all cases oast, their votes
for his re.eleotion as Governor of the State.
But it seems that the soldiers are not all for
Curtin. As a proof of this, we had an in
stance at the Pennsylvania railroad depot an
evening cr two since. A train °tears having
arrived which contained a squad of soldiers,
as soon as it had ;stopped in the depot, the
soldiers began to cheer lustily for Woodward
" Huzza for Wood Ward," " Nine cheers for
Woodwayd," vociferated tho soldiers, until the
depot thug with their shouts. Our,' - eurlosity
was excited to see , the soldierti WhO ere for

THE CONSPIRACY
The Dignity of the Bench
The " digrilty of the Bench" will not permit
Mr. Justice WoonwAnn to address the people
whose suffrage he desires, upon the issues in
volved in this campaign. It, however, does
not prevent him from going through the
country " pulling the wires,'Y and electioneer
ing privately. Last week while on his way
to the copperhead meeting - at Lancaster, ho
stopped with some " friends" over night...—
Ile was escorted to the headquarters of the
copperheads, and said : " The position I on
oupy will not admit of me expressing my sen •
timents to you now, but after the second Tues
day of October I will again visit your town,
and I will then express myself:" Judge
WooDwAnn knows he dare not tell the people
what he believes, as it would damage his pros
pects for a position ho is anxious to obtain.—
He knows that if ho speaks his treasonable
sentiments, it will make votes for Goy. Cur
lib, whose loyalty and devotion to the inter
ests of the State awl Country, the copper-
heads dare not even question. He knows the
people will not submit their state to bc dragged
into the interests of Jeff Davis, and henco.he
dare not tell thorn lie desires the success of
the rebellion, and the establishment ,of the
"natural rights" of slaveholders. Probably
ho could explain to the people what the nat
ural rights of rebellious apd traitorous slave
holders are? Can they vote under the con
stitution ? Ile says soldiers cannot.
The Pittsburg Gazette and Justice
Woodward
Our copperhead cotempararies all over the
State have been for several weeks past, par•
ading au article from the Pittsburg Gazette
in which that paper, previous to the State
Convention, took strong grounds against Gov.
Curtin's. renomination. This article, with
the customary copperhead embellishments,
has been circulated far rind wide as lie ex
pression of an "honest and fearless Republi
can paper." We no* take the liberty of re
ferring the friends of Woodward to another
article TiOtntlies a the pap6i; Wrirte n itlter the
nomination of Gov. Curtin. The article still
be found on our first page, and we sincerely
hope that newspapers like our Volunteer and
Democrat, both of which papers exultingly
copied the first one, will publish this also, as
it comes from the same " honest and fearless"
source. True it exposes sortie facts which are
rather damaging to the loyalty and integrity
of the great soldier and foreigner disfran
chiser. True, also, that the comparisons
drawn between - fhe merits atild - Resel-C.4 of Qte
rival State tickets, do not particularly re
dound to the favoi or credit of Pennsylvania
Valinndighamers; but then, by your own ad
missions, Messieurs Volunteer and Democrat,
these are " honest truths," by a newspaper
that " scorns party fealty when it involves
the sacrifice of honor or honesty." By all
means then, gentlemerf; let your readers hear
from you on the subject. Tell/ them about
Judge IVoodward's action in the- Allegheny
Bond Cases, where by a little judicial thim
ble rigging, he succeeded in filling his pocket
with Pittsburg dollars. Give them the whole
story—if the telling of it injures your cause,
it will certainly benefit that of our common
country.
How to Continuo the War
Elect Woodward Governor of Penn ?.y1 conic,
and Vallandighain Governor of Ohio, and the
war will, in all probability, be prolonged for
yearS,'and every able bodied man in the coun
try will have to be drafted. But. re-elect
Curtin in Pennsylvania, and elect John Brough
in Ohio, and the rebels will be whipped be
fore Christmas, because they will know that
they cannot rely any longer upon the aid of
the sympathisers in the North, neither would
there be any fear of foreign intervention. N - t
further drafts after the present one, would bo
required, and even those drafted will have
but little to do, should their services be re
quired at all.
It does not take much brains to understand,
this position, and those who will persist in
voting for Copperheads under these circum
stances, must be classed' as enemies of the
North, and friends of Jeff. Davis and his
Government.
NEW POSTAL CURRENCY. —The new fraction
al postal currency, says Thompson's Bank
Nt to Reporter, is to be of the same denomina
tions as the old, but instead of being of differ.
out sizes, they will be' of the dimensions of
the present ten cent postal. They are en
graved in the highest style of art, and the
colors, which are the distinguishing marks of
the different values, are of such a chemical
combination, it is asserted, as to defy photo
graphing. They are printed on paper made
by a secret process in the Treasury Depart
ment, thinner than that now in common use,
and very much cheaper. The advantage will
consist largely in the fact that it is forty
times stronger than the paper now used, and
can be washed like a piece of linen without in
anyway injuring the engraving. It photo.

DECREASE OF POPULATION IN CANADA.—The
Canadian papers are discussing the subject of
a decrease of population. A writer in the
Toronto Leader says :
Whilst we are speaking of defence, militia,
&o. &0., our industrious and indispensable
classes of mechanics, workmen, laborers, &0.,
are, with their families, leaving daily by the
hundred from our land to obtain a subsistence
in a neighboring country afflicted by a civit
war. Our population, already inadequate to
this immense territory, is everyday decreas
ing immeasurably.
The forests, the wilderness, which not long
since were so rapidly changing into beautiful
fields, dread less the persevering hand of man.
Now towns are uo longer seen to spring' up.
Capital, brought into the country formally by
the exertions of some of our great men who
were often- ungratefully calumniated, no lon
ger contributes to the enlargement or embel
lishment of our cities, nor.to the erection of
new public ediftces. but hidden,. as it were, it
is 'unprofitable to the public welfare.- Even
foreign immigration, the true- wealth of anew
countr,y,__ancL_whioli, to a certain degree was
prosperous, and had found its way to Canada,
has also of late turned its tido to the United
States. But, enoligh . of chose calamities.
TEE MAINE BIARCTION.—The Portland Ad
vertiser, a copperhead sheet, has discovered
the reason why its party, was defeated in
Maine. It was because "patriotic, mon had
the idea that a vote in condemnation of the
Administration would be a vote of encour
agement
~ t o the rebels,"•and that it would be
Itifer to overlook even its• mistakes than to
do anything calculated to 'weaken or embar
rass it. The logic thus attributed by the Ad
vertiser to the people of Maine is not far out

Congress, arrange' the platform of principles

one of great excitement ; if the Democrats are

cori'uption of contracts, the suppression ofl

of individuals.

The reports of these committees, will form

be beleagured by the Confederate army, the
conduct of the war will receive a blew from

its army in the third year of the war shut up
in Washington, Mr. Lincoln's message would
he deprived of all its glorification over the
summer's campaign. His management, of
military affairs will stand a confessed failure
an his unfitness for the position or Comman

Of what. avail will the capture of Vicksburg
and Port Hudson, the repulse at Gettysburg,
and the siege of Charleston prove, if Meade,
driven into Washington, is unable to resents
the capital from the insults of a beleaguering
rirmy ? In vain will Hafleck point to Grant,

will assail the Atiministrati en for more shame

and ask for the proofs of the victory at Get

A fall campaign into Pennsylvania. with the
hands of our soldiers untied, not for indiscrimi

Andrew Johnson an Abolitionist.
In a speech delivered in Nashville on Satur
day evening last, at a meeting called to re
joice over the national successes before
Charleston, Governor Andrew Johnson de
clared himtclf a thorough going emancipa
tionist, and urged the immediate and cut ire
abolition of slavery in Tennessee and else
where. The Nashville Union gives the follow
sketch of his remarks :
"Slavery was a cancer on our society, and
the scalpel'of the 81111e1311/411 should be used
not, simply to pare away the exterior and
leave the roots to propaagato the disease anew,
but to remove it altogether: Let us destrdy
the cause of our domestic dissension and this
bloody civil war. It is neither wise nor just
to compromise with nn evil so gigantic. lie
avowed himself unequivocally for the removal
of slavery ;- the sooner it can be effected the
better Some inconvenience might, most like
ly would, follow, temporarilY, but these would
be more than compensated by the grand im
pulse given to all our interests by the substi
tution of free for slave labor.. Ile was for
immediate emancipation, if he could get it ;
if this could not be obtained he was for grotto
nl emancipation; bat emancipation at all
events."
ne invoked the people to cast off the
slavish fear, which had hitherto sealed their
lips ou this question, and speak and act hence
forth as freemen should, The slave aristocra
cy had long held its foot upon their necks
and exacted heavy tribute from them, even to
robbing them of free spOecli. Let the .eya of
freedom be henceforth proclaimed to the non
slaveholders of Tennessee !"

Our troops were as immovable as the rocks

against them the dense column which had
routed Davis and Sheridan in the morning;
but every onset was repulsed with dreadful
slaughter. Falling first on one and then on

Thomas seemed to have filled every soldier
with his owu uncompierable firmness; and
Gen. Granger, his hat torn by bullets, rode
like a lieu wherever the combat was thickest.
Every division cuuimuuder bore himself glori

themselves. Turchen charged through the
rebel lines with the bayonet, and being sur
rounded, forced his way back again. Par

Saturday, forming his men in one line, made
them he down until the enemy was close upon

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. —Six Persons
hilted The sloam boiler of Eberly's saw mill,
at New Cumberland, Cumberland county, four
miles below this place, exploded with terrific
force yersterday morning, killing five per
eons outright, injuring a sixth beyond hope
of recovery, and badly scalding a seventh.—
The explosion was one of most terrible and
fatal which has ever taken place in this vicini
ty, as t e following facts in relation to it
would indicate.
The boiler, which weighed over 5,000
pounds, after tearing the fielding to pieces
was hurled up a hill for the distance of two
hundred and fifteen yards, striking Fackler's
tavern, which stands on the railroad track,
reducing it to a:heap of ruins. Mrs. Feebler,
the landlady, was standing in the door, and
was instantly killed. A sister of Mrs F., a
maiden lady, had her leg broken in three
places, and now lies beyond hope of recovery.
Tho saw mill itself was demolished to atoms,
and every person employed about the premi
ses was killed. Not a soul is left to , explain
a single fact in relation to the causes of the
terrible disaster. The calamity has spread a
gloom over the whole village. The following
is a list of the victims of this distressing oils
uality :
Samuel Eisenberger, dead.
John G. Ketterman, Esq., dead.
John Cromlick, dead.
Mr. Buokwaltor, from the vicinity of Car
lisle,' dead.
Mrs. Fackler, dead.
Sister of Mrs. Fackler, lo'g_br3ken in three
planes—cannot recover.
Maurice Cleistwit, badly scalded, but will
recover
There is no certainty as to what caused the
explosion, but being no indicator to the
boiler, ityery probable that it was occa
sioned by •oo much steam. Harrisburg Pa
