We believe there are hundred? of others who will re pent and vote likewise with the Demo cratic party. It behooves you then, Democrats, to stand firm by your princi- les ; to promulgate them fearlessly to the world and to keep alive party spirit, which ias ever been the bulwark of our Govern ment. ile necessity ot the Uemocratic tarty is most apparent at this present time while the Republicans seek, by a "no party " cry to confine their infamy and crime to the shades of oblivion. Let us unite then, Democrats, and vote the whole ticket. The ticket from Auditor General to the lowest county candUlate is worthy of your most cheerful support. Hear in mind that t lie defeat of Hon.

Upon the Second Tuesday of Octolier, for weal or for wo, the fate of our unhap py country must be decided. Hie time will then have arrived, when, by prompt and energetic action on the part of Demo crats and other loyal men, the country can be freed from the throes of intestine corruption and imbecility, which have thwarted her progress and blotched her history for the past year: and a responsi bility rests upon the civilian at home. even greater tlian that which falls to the duty of the enlisted soldier tliat while the ever watchful and sleepless picket guards our frontier and insures protection to our firesides and the defenceless, we who are left behind to exercise a freeman's will, should do it judiciously : remember ing the obligation we owe to posterity ami the imiortant trusts lemiitted to our care mat ai ine uuioi oox we may save or loose all. It is, there tore that every free man enjoying the right of suffrage, should with calm and deliberate forethought, per form tliat sacred function ; considering, altliough his ote in the abstract is but a unit, that in the nggregate majorities are aggeratcd, and as the Idineumcn kills the Crocodile, so, also, does the honest de- posite of the American citizen, swallowed oy me nauoi oox, annihilate and purge f.vtm our Government the inirnites ami drones, who by artifice and dissimulation, liave been elected to high and i:iiKrtaiit positions in the councils of the Nation Consider, then.

We ak you then, apostate Democrats, after Abraham IJncoln was elected, how was it .' Were the solemn pledges of the Republican juirty fulfilled or ever meant to be carried out ? Let the waitings of the widow ami the cries of the orphan, answer! let the crimsoned hills of Virginia and the bleaching liones of the martyred brave, sieak! look around at the present fearful reality, and the ar.swer is told! A similar warning in now for your benefit : the unerring dogma of the Democratic faith are again preached to you. Profit then, Democrats, by her teachings an 1 at the ballot box art accor dingly ; in the hope that we may yet save from mlii, our distracted and beleaguered country. We have but to rally and vic tory await n. Rut two evenings ago. '.v? hra'.d a citizen siy that he had once Micitaix Eisamn. About three hundred men have gone from this county, for the defence of the State, complying with the last order of the Governor. One company from this town under Captain Titzinger, Lieu tenants Daniel O. Evans and Evan D. Evans ; and one company from Carroll town under Captain Joseph Colo and lieutenants T. Blair Moore and Weakland. Many others from the North ern jtortion of this count' enlisted under Capt. Murray and Sergt. John Roberts, for the regular service. We had the pleasure of taking by the hand on last Monday, our next Sena tor, Mr. Wallace, of Clearfield county, who is up on a visit to his Cambria coun ty friend-s. Mr. Wallace, though not so extensively known throughout this county, is fast making friends, hi I wherever he r, may again give the Abolition I , . e ,. , , and atTable manners have gained tor him ajonty in congress, necause ai , the respect of all. Beware of Intrigue. The dodge by which the Republican leaders in this county, are endeavoring to compromise with Democrats, won't win. We have already noticed some instances of this kind ; of Democrats being called to one side and told " if vou vote for otir man liail, we will vote tor vour man i McAllister." We Iioik? there are no Democrats so silly as to be thus palavered and inveigled. We warn them, however, against this and like tricks which will be attempted by the Abolitionists this fall. We want no compromise or amalgamation with the Aliolition party. We do not, if we stand firm, need their assistance to elect Mr. JIcAuasTF.it, or any other can didate, esjiecially when it involves the tie feat of William A. Wallace, v ho is ttio good a man to be sacrificed. We saw Capt. James Murray drill a company of "raw militia" that was aliout enter the service for the defence of the State, and in a few hours he taught them the elementary principles of military tactics. The Captain is an efficient drill officer. Persons enlisting in the service would do well to go under him. ea The I ,ady's Rook for October is replete with illustrations and reading mat ter. The steel plate, " Hotting Mischief," is truly an interesting picture, and is well worth the price of tlic book. The fashion plate contains many new designs. This iiumlxT of the Rook contains srvciity-j'ww engravings. tT Buy your goods at the store of E. J.

The unreliable rcjiorts and v ague ru mors of battles, military achievements, Rebel raids, &c, are Uie source of con tinual anxiety and excitement ; and it takes one to be a philosopher liefbre he can tell tliat which is genuine Ix-fore he can discover the " roast from the Itoiled," or extract from the many inflated stories tliat come to us daily, that which is reliable news. It is considered, however, by all, and generally believed that the reliel force is now being mmvnt rated in and aliout Ilagcrstown, and that they meditate a very formidable raid ujon Pennsylvania soil would seem to hardly admit of a doubt. But we caiuiot believe that our State Capital is in any danger or that they will venture any depth, into our State, as it must be evident that such a move would place their whole army in jeojtanly by the liability of retreat being cut off entirely. That's the way to Speak! It will be seen bv the following card that Messrs. Hays, Alt man and Eisaman, the regular nominees of the Democratic party in Westmoreland county, were also named by the Republican jwrty, with a view to amalgamation. But these honest gentlemen spurn the assistance of Aboli tionism at the sacritu-e of Democratic principle. Read their card.

Three children are known to have been killed, and a lady fifty years of age was missing at a late hour hast night. The damage to property will reach at h-ast $200,000, and the in terruption of business will deprive many swres of persons of bread for months. The heavy rains of Thursday night and Friday morning swelled the Cohocksink creek to an unusual sire. The stream, as is well known, cntsses the Philadelphia, Germantown and Norristown railroad track near Montgomery street, and flows eastwanllv from Ninth street to the river are through the Seventeenth and three stories in height, the end one (No. ! 1534) being exitosed to the torrent which rushed down from the northeast. When the water bad entered the cellar and com menced to accumulate upon the floor, two persons were watching its progress. These were Kate Scholler, fifty years of age, and Christine Scholler (her daughter). The. last named stepped over the threshold to ascertain whether it would be best to leave the premises. She urged her mother to go to the house of a neighbor, but with out success. She then departed alone. Soon after the building fell with a terrible crash. At a later hour, last night, work men were seeking for the body of the elder woman. The house adjoining, No. 1532, crum bled into ruins at the same moment. Three children were on the lower floor, having just been left by tlieir motlier, who liad gone to secure board f r them at a neighbor's. Their names were Mary, Wilhclmina and Fredericn Wolf, and their ages respectively seven, ten and twelve years. Their death must have been al most instantaneous, although, strange to say, the bodies of two of them presented not the slightest discoloration jor bruise. The head of the thinl was crushed by a falling door, and her anus broken. The corpses were conveyed to the resi dence of George Dinger, No. 157 Sixth street, and placed ujon a Id in the front room. Tlie aptaranee of the bodies was singularly natural, and death seemd only- like a sleep which had ovcrt:ikeii the children in their pastime. Tlie mother was almost insane with grief. -Ptiuuul- plda Iifpihvr. The Latex! from IIarrlnur?r. CANNONADING HEARD AT CIIAM- BERSBL'RG.

Heavy artil lery firing was heard at Gnen Castle and Chambersburg this morning, in tlie direc tion of Williamsport. Tlie main bodv of the rebel army does not appear to have gone to Ilagcrstown. Imgstreets divi sion only is there, numliering 2O,O)0 to 30,000, apparently to supply foirage and supjJies for the balance of the army. Tlie main body of the rebel array is at IMnsboro. Our pickets were driven in to tlie State line. Troops continue to arrive and leave for Chambersburg as fast as transporta tion can ltf forwanleL tlfiHTal I-e is said to be at Haeers town. The rebels claim an army of 1 90, OOO men in Maryland, and 225,000 in Virginia, with which tliey intend menacing Washington while the army in Maryland sacks tlie bonier and invades Pennsylvania. A rumor has got circulated tliat the Governor wants no militia from lliiladel phia. Hy authority this is emphatically denied. Send tltem on s fast as possible. Tliev are now urgently required. Information in n-ganl to tlie rebel army in Maryland was received from a gentle man who visited their camps and spent considerable time within their lines. Col. Jno. K. Murphy, of tlie 29th Pa. Volunteers arrived here this mrning and is endeavoring thnmgh the Governor to effect an exchange. I le offers his servi ces to the State in anv manner acceptable. Major M. Scott is also here on business with the dcjtartmenL There is no truth in the rejMirt that martial law is being declared liere. Everything is progressing finely, and troops are still pouring in fmm all sec tions of the State, They are Ix'ing armed as fast as possible and sent to Camp Cur tin for instructions before proceeditig to Chamlwirr-burg. The reikis occupied Middleburg, Md., to-dav, with 3,000 infantrv followed bv lange wagon trains. Tlie locality of the late firing is not de finitely known, but is supposed to have be'n between the rebels under Jackson and a federal force of 2,500 under White at Martinsburg, or Miles at Harper's Ferry. Our pickets extend two miles beyond New Castle. The rebels occupy the State line with five hundred cavalry under Lieut. Col. lirinn. Iate movements which have been going on in various camps here and other parts of the State have resulted in the or ganization of a Large force of cavalry, in fantry and artillery, which are now lea ving for their destination, a force consid ered sufficient to protect the Cumberland valley and cheek any ad vance of the re bels on the capital of the State. Strong reserve forces will be retained at Camp Curtin to march at a moment's notice, under control of Col. Chas. Campbell, acting Urigadier ; Captain G. D. Hand, acting Adjutant General ; Capt. Eldridge McConkey, acting Assistant Adiutant General; Major IL II. McCoy, Chief quartermaster. From the intelligence lately received, a comparative feeling of security is prevail ing among the people residing in Frank lin and adjoining counties, because of the activity displayed in forwardinc troons.- Regiment after regiment continues to leave for various positions in tlie valley, and notwithstanding this unceasing drain, our city is alive with soldiers splendidly armed faster than transportation can be provided tlie capital building is filled from base to dome and the grountls around form one grand encampment Should the rebels attempt an advance, they will meet a force that will forever free the soil of Pennsylvania from tlie tread of traitors. Policy would probably dictate a falling back furtlier into the State before bringing on an engagement, which is imminent, in order that tliere could be no return for tlie enemy. General lleynolds is now in command. He is well and favorably known as a Brigadier General, who commanded a portion of the Pennsylvania I Reserve corps during the seven days' battles in front of Richmond- Tlie Governor places impli cit confidence in his ability to preserve us from tlie horrors of invasion. Fkhpekick, M1, Sept. 13 Frederick is ours, Tlie first of our forces entered tlie East end of the town at 4 o'clock yes terday afternoon. Half an hour later a cavalry force under command of General Pleasanton, entered the city by way of the Market street turnpike. The main body of the rebel forces evac uated the city on Thursday. A few ca valry from the command of Gen. Stewart and the Hampton Igion. made a charge upon our troops, when the latter entered, but the enmy were sjieedily rejiulsed. Our loss was two killed and six wounded, while the rvlx-ls suffered at least to that extent. The reception of our forces was of a most enthusiastic character, tlie entire city was overjoyed and the people turned out en masse to welcome our forces. All along the streets through which our forties Kissed flags were waved from tlie win dows and the sidewalks were lined with spectators, including a full representation of ladies. The reltel forces are repre.-oiited to Im? about 125.000 strong. The eitiiis of Frederick have suffered much from the rel el incursion, including the loss of domestic supjJies. The eiiemy were in a starving and nigjred condition, many of tliem !xing witliout shos. Tliey confidently expected that at least 50,000 men would flock to them in Fred erick county. Jackson was here. Ugtlier with Dnngstreet and Hill. Tliey left Frederick with the intention sis reported, of going to Pennsylvania, Init subsequent events seem to indicate tliey will endeavr to retreat into Virginia, by way of Wil liamsport. Tliis morning an engagement is going on at the foot of the mountains, on the nad to Sandy Hk, letwecn the reliels con sisting of 2,000 cavalry and three batte ries. A portion of the enemy went to Hagerstown, while Jackson took the left hand road towards Harper's Ferry. Tlie relels left 450 of thir sick in Frederick.
