SIIIINSD THeM RIGHT : A few nights ago there was a meeting near llaneytown, Mar shall county, West Virginia, which was at tended by all the Union men of that place.— The meeting broke up about twelve o'clock, and when the Union men returned home they found, to their surprise, that during their eh sconce the copperheads of thevillage had bored down a fine liberty polo which had been erect• ed during the summer. The Union men ac cordingly divided itads, and marching about the town, arou ed every copperhead in tho place and comp -tkem to go to the woods. cut a pole, drag it into' town, and put it up where the old ore had stood. After this was done the copperheads wero requested to ran up the flag and cheer it, which they did 'most lusti y, when they were permitted to go to bed. LATEST FROM New ORLEANS.—We have New Orleans dates to the 31st ult.. An Re live campaign is in progress in the Depart ment of the Gulf. The naval expedition tinder Gen. Banks was at Southwest Pass on the 2Gth ult. with the Commanding Gen eral on board the flag ship McClellan. The fleet consists of sixteen steamships, and a large number of schooners and brigs as ten ders. Three ships of war—the Monongahe la, Owasco and Virginia—accompany the squadron. Gen. Dana issued a stirring ad dress to the troops of his command out their embarkation, in which he says : "The peo ple where we go shall feel that we are their friend nd"be en tint - raged tr'fa 11 - in 'under our battle-tattered colors, and fight the fight of FreedGm ; and the troops cr any nation we may uteet.shall burst into a shout of ad miration when they shall see the citizen-sol diers of armed America 'going in' to 'repos : Bess and occupy' their own, and to tread out the dregs of the rebellion." On the 27th the order for s,iling was given, and the whole fleet sailed out in two lines, each steamer half a mile apart, presenting a splendid spectacle. There is little news in New Or leans. One of the latest Secession dodges is the issue of an address by a clique of Se cessionists-who proposed-to- hohl-rtn- elect ion on the 2d inst. for members of Congress, State officers and State Legislature. The trick ie palpable, and will probably fail. " How do you do, Doctor !" Doctor bows very po'itely to the lady, and answers her inquiry by Baying ho was very much troubled with a cough. The lady says she is surprised the doctor cannot cure his cough, and recommends him to try Bryan's Pulmonic Wafers, saying she always used them in her family, and invariably with good success.— Doctor says "I am astonished at lady of your standing using a quack medicine."— " Why Doctor! it is no quack medicine. It always gives relief, and every member of our family carry them in their pockets; they al. ways do good, and I know the proprietor, and don't for a moment doubt. that—" Doctor will hear no more, but is off—perhaps to Elliott's for a box; price 26 cents. Gen. McClellan for President The Volunteer of this week announce= Gen. McClellan as its candidate for the Pre sidency in 18G-1. " Billy Brown's Opera Troupe" and all his sooty predecessors have been doing the same thing for two years past. In the light of the recent elections in the loyal States, and considering the interesting fist this same " little Mac" mace of Justice Woodward's case, we are at a loss to know whether the Volunteer is in sober earnest, or whether it is only indulging in a little awful pleasantry. It is certainly a hideous joke to talk of putting a man on the course for President who has been politically interred for more than a month, if lie ever had any life in that way. Gen. :11cClellan's Wood ward letter utterly extinguished the only spark of vitality that his " arbitrary arrests" and peninsular campai 2 n had left; and we can hardly believe that the Volunteer con templates a mummy President. Alas, alas, poor " little Mac," even the clammy cure ments of your political tomb are turned to the bum use of making merriment for the coppersnakes. Ale transit 00rift Mac The Call for Volunteers It is to be hoped that all good citizens, without respect to old party 'mines or is sues, will feel the importance of lending their aid and influence to promote volun teering, in response to the President's re quisition. It is an undisputed fact that in order effectually to crush the Rebellion, the country needs more soldiers. It is certain, moreo . .er, that unless they are voluntarily furnished, a new draft will be ordered and enforced. The term for voluntary effort is limited to the sth of January—not quite two months hence. To escape the draft, there fore, it is necessary that immediate action should be had. In view of these facts we suggest that a County . Meeting he called at an'early day, and that measures be adopted to put the ball in motion. We are happy to learn that a number of our young men—and among them many who have seen service—are ready to form companies. 'Let us see to it that they have proper aid, counienance and support, in this good work. The elections df 1863 are over. Let pol iticians remember, - that in those to come, the party which does most to assist in crush ing the rebellion ) will be the one that must necessarily triumph at tho polls in all future contests. It has been s 9 in all our past Wars, and will be so again. While differing upon side issues, then, let all unite and assist to the great work - of the day—the reinforce ment ot our army at the earliest, possible moment. The hopes of the nation rest with its patriotic citizens. Let not those hopes be disappointed.

While this is undeniable, it is very far from proving what is claimed, since it is well known that the south has been sustain , d throughout this contest by British aid. Of themselves the rebel States could never have made the arms, munitions of war and goods for domestic use which have thus far bowed up their cause. We have encountered En glish connon, rifles, muskets, swords, En glish balls, English rebel privateers ; we have seen the south supplied with domestic goods by England ; we have seen the con federate securities steadily kept up in the English markets, as thoug they were, more reliable than those of the United States gov ernment. Indeed, in this war we have been doomed to fight not alone the rebel south, but the capital, the resources, the mechanical skill, the commercial activity and the industry of England, and if the war shall result in the complete triumph of our arms, as there can be no doubt that it will, we shall be victori ous over rather more than the southern reb el-States. England is pursuing the gain,' course toward us that she did toward the French republic and the great Napoleon. when lor long tears she subildized the col.- tinental Powers to maintain a terrible war. 0[ the great value of the aid rendered to the rebel Stater in the present struggle by the English there can be no sort of doubt. But for it the rebellion 'mist have colla peed long EMIR The south had no manufacturing, industry, 116 Shill in the arts, no means of creating the establishments requisite for furnishing her own supplies. Englan I supplied all this. English vessels ran the blockade ; English illet:y - wti;s rnoutilt 7 Ott ti n ;sOuibl:,-rnTorti fications ; English merchandise clothed and did everything else for the rebels, except their fighting. This is the kind of neutrali ty we havtLencountered at the hands of the English in return for the lucrative commerce of our country, on which so much of t h e wealth of England has been built. It, must have been evident long since that the south must have yielded up the contest had it not been for aid derive I from abroad. The evi dences of exhaustion all over the south were so plain that they could not be mistaken. Keen with the constant succor afforded by distrosi has reaelvel a tearful pitch. In truth, the, rebel States have no self-sustaining power. They have no manufactures, no mocha. ical skill, no active capital, no wealth, or commerce. Their resources were cleaned out long since. Their wealth was a delusion. But British cupidity has stepped in to sup ply everything needed, by buoying up con federate bonds on the London stock market, by seeding out rebel war vessels, by protec ting them in Britiih or neutral harbors, by furnishing the rebel Slates with arms muni tions of war and merchandise, for which, as they can get no gold, they must take curried erate bonds or risk a c.rrgo of cotton through the blockade. The fearful depredations com mitted upon our commerce by rebel priva teers are the work of the English inure than the rebels, for without English aid these pri vateers never could have got afloat (Jr kept the seas. The Indian war on our northwestern fron tier has been dearly traced to emissaries sent among the Indians from the British ter ritories on our hornier, apparently under the auspices of the British fur trailers. Can it be possible that all these things mean no hostility toward us on the part of England Can they be consonant with that neutrality which she has affected as her shield ? It is preposterous to believe so. But at present it is sufficient to point out the facts, and leave the public mind to ruminate upon them The time will come when we may he at lei sure to investigate this patent nentrality, and square our accounts with John Bull. Keep the Banners Advanced I The elections just over have indicated among o her facts, the unmistakable one, that the Administration party will elect, without difficulty., their candidate (or Presi dent next fall. This was readily seen be fore the elections on Tuesday the Illth of October, but the results in New York, MlLS sachuseus, and the Western States, have made it settled and undeniable. There is no party so popular as the strong party. No political organization is so universally in fa vor as t at which is certain to succeed.— These Ilibernianisms, though apparently abs[.rd are the truth. awl we shall now see it demonstrated. Already the leaders of the party that nominated Wowl ward, have ac cepted the conclusion, that the war policy is the only true one, and that political success can be won only upon it. The so-called De mocracy stands to day upon the verge of dis ruption ; the intelligent and shrewd leaders wish to adopt a war platform, while others cling desperately to their Copperheadism.— This contest is unlike those of the past, be tween Democrats of the Butler-Dickinson stamp, and the Woodward men —rim former supported Administration from honest motives, and a : limed from the Copperheads, not as upon questions iof policy, but of prin ciple. But the movement for the prosecution of the war, apparent now, is made because the elections have shown that "peace at any price" is not popular, and cannot be suc cessful. The spoils of office are not exhib ited on that-platform. These plain and stubborn facts will bring to the party of the Administration an im mense number. of votes. We will welcome them as those who have seen the error of their way—have repented and reformed; but the truth is, that, many are mere trimmers, who wish to belong to the strongest side, and lend their nid to the victors. -The pros. once of the latter class among us will have the 'effect of lowering our standards, adul terating the purity of our principles ; weak and temporizing leaders will wish this sari pressed, that muddied, the other tota lly ez tinguiShed; that there:may 'be nothing to *feed the taste or hurt the feelings of these new converts. The plain, out-spoken truth will need to be varnished and glossed to suit the strength of the new elements that have been incorporated with the ancient mass. Of this, we would say, flint it is neither good as a principle, nor successful as a pol icy. The latter is undeniable, but it is cn the former point that we intend to speak. It is now the time that the friends of the Ad ministration, and thole who are the true friends of their country, should renew their testimony in favor of freedom, and Me-prin ciples upon which our government is estab lished, the glorious truths "that all men are boric equal, and endowed with certain in alienable rights, among which are life, lib erty, and the pursuit of happiness." We must insist upon the full and thorough ex pression of this, the grand, the only spirit of America. No slave belongs to. this princi ple or to this country. The fetter and the lash aro the symbols of oppression, not of freedom. They choke the air and curse the soil upon which they exist. They have been the bare and bid angel of fifteen States of the Union ; they have made her a by-word of reproach for her hypocrisy; .they have embittered her councils, alienated her peo ple, and at last deluged every hill and val ley with blood. ll' its motel a•A social it .

The last bulwark that could have secured it consid oration has been trampled under foot by its own supporters, and it stands tow outlawed against the laws of !leaven, the peace of so ei-ty, and legislation of Men. It has no friends deserving of our respect. Th. who liner hNtervd it in the South are crimsoned traitors, while those who encourage it in the Nro-th are beneath the consideration of de- C 'lit Merl We %%ant our country lice.

Let the c;.pitalists in th se rolden pl.iins pay wages for labor; let him eward the toil of the workman with and well earned hire. Lot it be said 01 no portion of the American Republic, 0 there is a spot where the blackest, foulest of op• pression dwells." Keep up these standar,ls, we say. This is not a day for temp. rzing, or compromise. is-,--the age for a grand regeneration, a glui ions - nrid - - - -unrincsfioued - success. - The 1112111 who asks for a dishonorable peace, de serves the fate of a convicted traitor; and he who would compronike the honor of our nation, and endanger anew her peace and happiness, is yet more of a criminal. Q; following article we clip from the Fr iikli i ferposrtoery. It is from the pen or Col. McCi.unE, and we continent] the cal liable lessons it contains to the careful con sideration of our farmers. Many of the ar guments are as applicable to the farming interests of this as to Franklin county. WAR'S LESSONS TO FARMERS The Farmers of Franklin county have had some severe lessons in the destructiveness of war. Very many had their horses and cattle stolen by the rebels, and many have antlered scarcely less from the desolating tread ul err 01511 armies. It. is worthy of mince, howe.pr, t' ut notwithstan Lig our the ri•hol ti - Og exposure to incursions by raiding and Hun -1 dering parties, lands have never depreciated 1 in market, and but few Ilan) , of our people have been driven Irmo agricultural pursuits. The general wealth of our Farmers in this county hits been a barrier to their progress. They farm well as a rule—quite as well as do most intelli2ent agricultural sections of the z•ltate; but necessity has never taught progress, and they have been only too well contented to tarot as did their fathers before them. But inexorable war has brought with it some lessons, and just now impresses them in an imperative manner upon the people of tine border, and he is must wire who most profits by them. Franklin 'is the most fence-ridden county we know of in Pennsylvania. Our farmer-1 will insist, as a rule, in cutting up their farms into small fields, and keeping up mdes ul lences lit an enormous cost of money, la bor and land, without any compensation whatever. It it were p- ssible for our people to raise cattle profitable, there wou.d be some excuse fur their nedwiirk ot fences, alihningh it would be still unwise and wastelul ; but when it is considered 'hat steers caimot be raised in Franklin county for less than dou ble, or perhaps trubk the lire • they cut be bou-iht on the road in the tall, the folly of ken-ping up fences should bec•une apparent to any one who understands that two mud two make fur. Very many of our farmers have ha I their fences partially or wholly destroyed by t e armies ; and to such we would appeal to give some attention to this q estion soh ly as one of economy. A majority t.f the farmers un the line it ost devastated by military ()CCU pll tion, have to purchase their fencing mate rial, and our own county does not turnish supply equal to the demand even at ordinary tiincia. ft," southern and eastern sections have hitherto drawl' largely upon Adams t rails, generally giving lime in return; but the wide-spreail destruction oevasioned in Adams county by the battle of (lettysburg, has so increased the demand there that the price of good rails has gone up fully twenty five per Celli. in addition to this, the price of posts has advanced, and a panne) of good post fence cannot now be erected under $l,- 25 ; and yet no other fence is so cheap, all things considering, as post fence. It seems stra ige that farmers will needlessly bleak• such enorin 0118 expense, and SU rrender considerable portion of their lands besides for t lice-rows, when the whole experience of non-stock growing sections is as clearly against fencing and pasturing as the light of noon-day. Pasturing our heavy clay lands is the work of death. If wet and soft, wherever a hoof treads the surface, it bakes, and the air, one of, the best of fertilizers, ceastis to permeate it. If dry, the tread of stock is almost equal ly fatal, for it has little or no elasticity; i and for till this damage there is no adequate com pensation. We have for two years fed all our cattle with excellent grass from the 10th of June,to the Ist of September, cut Lou the lawn about -our dwelling house—in-all npt:over two and a half acres, and a consid erable portion of that is so thickly set with heavy fruit trees as to retard the growth 'of the grass very much. We mow it three times for feed—just often enough to keep the lawn neat and clean, and out it again late in the fall to prepare the ground for light coat of manure from the horse-stable, which, lies on the surface during the winter and is raked off in the spring. By the first of September we have corii..stneks ready for the cattle.— We plough _deeply and manure wall about two mires in April, and now broadcast t 3 bushels of corn to the acre about the first of May. It comes up thickly on the ground, grows tall and slender in_th_el stock, and is the very best feed for cattle in the latter part of August and September, when all other pasture is generally dried up, that could be supplied them. In this way all our cattle have the very best of fresh, sucuclent food from June until late in autumn, and no fences are required ; no land is damaged ; no grass wasted, and the cattle thrive better than in the pasture fields exposed to the heat of summer and tormented by flies. They are stabled in the morning, before the heat of the, day, the stable kept dark to exclude flies, although well ventilated, and in the evening they are turned out and fed in the yard and have free range to running water. Thus two acres of farm land, besides the lawn about the house, supply all the pasture for our cattle five mouths of the year, while most of our neigh bors would destroy fifteen acres of grass, not to count. „ l;ences and damage to land, in k °p ing thejame [lumber, and then w ou ld h ave good Pasture but a short time. This year the rebels and our own milea•y somewhat deranged our operations; but the system' has been well tested, and its economy and utility have been clearly established. We never pasture horses. They do immense damage to land, and often are more injured than benelitted by grazing. Young clover is ex hausting to them, and it it seldom that they can be turned out without. g etting it; and old clover has little inure nourishment that. straw. They are better in the stable, with good °Tr's ; cut for them when it is lit for use ; anti whet, it is riot—when young clover is !nixed with it—they arc better on hay. We have thus fi:o.essed to enforce the conviction that inside fences are needless, prolith!ss and positively wasteful of I.liid, of Limnr and or money ; and we entre:o nil It of cmr farmers as have lost tenet's to le: 'II the lesson of war, still take out all ruins' ing inside .ences and inal.e otitsi :0 lences it the hest st)le. homier has Net, so tar a we have leen advh;ml, tried soiling stock and returned to the old plan ; and we feel well assured that no hirmer will eery I'olll'll t/ ditision fences utter he has latch,. tried t tit without them.

THE - LATEST FROM THE FRONT. • • WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. _lt appears from information received here to-night 'that yesterday morning the Filth and Sixth Corps, under_ the command of Major General Sedgwick, advanced to Rap pithminock Station, they being the right wing of the army. The First, Second and Third Corps forming the left wing, under Major General French, proceeded to Kelly's Ford. When the,: right wing reached the Rappa hannock, the `dnemy were found to be in considerable force and holding this side of the river. The rebel batteries, earthworks and red, übts crowned the banks of each aide of the Rappahannock. General 8 - edgwick ~t once advanced and stormed 'them, and this was done with great gallantry and impetuosity, causing much slaughter, and taking a large number of prsuners. When Oen, French reached Kelly's Ford, about six miles below Rappahannock station, the enemy threw an entire division across in support of their picket lino of this side. Gen, French hastily took a posiiion so as to bring his artillery to bear upon them, and he pro- ceeded to shell them with marked etfeok. not only killing a large number, but throwing them into utter confusion scattering them wildly lind taking many prisoners. Alien'. French followed up his advantage, and itnme , diately threw the Frst Division of the Third Corps, commanded by Gen. Ramey, across the river, which ended his operations for the day. This 'waning he crossed the river with the remainder of his command (}en. Sedgwicic had previously crossed, and nt 9 o'clock this morning, the two wings of the , army had formed a junction, and held both banks or the river. The enemy, after (heir defea' in these two separate engagements, were so hotly pursued by our victorious forces that they threw them- Helve:, into the liver in their efforts to escape, and many were either drowned or killed by our inratory. All the, artillery of the rebels on this side was captured. It is reported that seven guns, and, there 19 110 doubt, their entire camp equipage, fell into our hands, ns they were compellol to leave the latter in their hasty retreat. Bu• (oral's cavalry crossed nt Sulph:n• 73prings, to cover the right flank, several miles above Rappahannock Station, and Gregg and Kil pa.rick crossed below Kelly's Ford, to cover the left litnk.
