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.

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.

ENGLISH NEUTRALITY
It is a favorite practice of the copperhead
organs, in endeavoring to show the hopeless
ness of the war, to point to the fact that
while the resources of the south were appa
rently exhausted long since, there has been
no diminution of their warlike preparations.
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.

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

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.

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.

conviction that inside fences are needless,

THE NEWS. -
We clip die following seminary of news
From the 13altinfore. American of Tuesday,
Noventlar lOth:
Good news from the Army of the Pete
teac-i-the enemy driven across the Rapp-i
-hanuck, twelve hundred prisoners, with a
nmnber of officers and cannon captured—
is the gratifying announcement we have to
make to our readers this teeming. Despat
ches from Gen. Meade report the advance
of Gen. Sedg wick and Gen. French, the for
mer routing the enlemy and capturing eight
hundred prison rs with their ca non, and
the latter tour hur dred, including a number
of officers. Let us hope that the advanti.ge
gainetrwill be Lllowed up to the destructor
I the remnant of Lee's army. The details
of the operations of Gen. Meade, on 8 tur
dity and B.inal indicate that the a eveineut
is au advin ce of the whole army, and that
the enemy has been driven back in coosid
erable-confusion. The latest account, with
regard to prisoners taken, indicates that the
-number exceeds Ltith), some of whom were
already arriving at Alexandria last event ng.
In the two eng4gements, the enemy are also
reported to hair() lost largely in killed and
wounded, many havir.g been also drowned
in miiking their hasty escape across the riv
er. We now occupy both , bauks and our
cavalry, were in but pursuit,
We have 4100 the pleming nunou, cement
to make, on the authority of Secretary Se
ward, that the French Government has
seized the six iron-clad ships buildin g for the
Rebel Government at Nantes and Bordeaux,
on the remonstrances made to Napoleon by
Mr. Dayton, our Minister at Paris. Thus
ends the Rebel navy.
We have later dates, by arrival at New
York, from New Orleans. The expeditioik
to Texas, under Gen. Dana, with a large'
fleet of transports and gun-boats, had start
ed. Their precise destination was not known.
An arrival at Philadelphia on Saturday
afternoon, brought a report that Fort Sum
ter had been stormed, captured, and was
occupied on the Ist inst. by the I 44th Penn•
sylvania regiment. At New York the an
nouncement was the cause of great jubi
lation, but with the knowledge of the great
uncertainty of all reports coming from Hilton
Head, we did not make the announcement
public. A few hours later in the evening,
we received a despatch from Fortress Mon
roe, giving extracts from the Ilich•uond pa
per, of the lith hist., which contained Rebel
despatches from Charleston to the sth, an
nouncing the continuatior. up to that time
of the bombardment of Sumter. In further
evidence of the falsity of the first report, we
have this morning news direct from Chance
lon bar to the evening of the sth, by the
arrival of the steamer Fulton at. New York,
which confirms the Inn h of the Rebel des
patches that Sumter was still in their pos
session.
There is nothing of importance reporter]
from Ge.i. Grant's army yesterday ; but we
have further particulars of the sharp engage
ment near Wauhatehie, between General
Geary's command and a brigade of the en
emy, when the latter undertook to surprise
our forces at midnight. The bat le was
fought with desperate en rgy on both sides,
but the Rebels were defeated, and retired,
leaving their killed and wounded on the field.
Among tho.Reliel prisoners ate officers and
men belonging to several South Cnrolina
regiments. Uur loss is about two hundred
in killed and wounded. Among the termer
we regret to find the name of Capt. Geary,
son ot the Commanding General. and a gal
lant young artillery officer.

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.
The enemy, after crowing the Rappahan
nock under cover of the n,.4111, moved in the
direction of Cirlpepper, and the adianee of
our tot ces, supposed to eon list of ea•dlry, was
reported to be at Brandy St at it'll early to day.
