If Lincoln is elected, a draft of five hundred thousand men will be culled en in thirty dajs after the election, and the people will be hunted round like foxes. Gold will go up to five hundred per cent. , and the necessaries of Ufa will go up to starving prices. The Government, at Washington don't want the war to stop, it is too good a harvest for them. If they wished the war to stop, they would not have been supplying Moseby and his men with every kind of marketable articles they wanted for the last two years. In the trial now going on in Washiugtoa city, the iirm of Johnston and Sutton, are brought up for trial for selling goods to the rebels. One of the Government wit nesses testifies ou oath, that he has been in the employment and regularly paid by our Government to trade with Moseby and his men. That this firm gave him two bills, one marked the regular selling price " and the other double, to cheat the rebels. That he lias made money. Vor his testi mony see the Xatiortal Intelligencer, of Monday, 21th ult., It is singular, (lien, that" the Govern ment, would wish to destroy all the rebel property, and would supply them, them selves, from their own stores. We sup pose they wish to have an entire monopo ly of the business to themselves. Sheridan, by the orders of General Grant, destroyed the richest and most fer tile valley ou the North. JLinericanxontir nent. No such destruction watver.hrd --f ui .!-?-twn -warfVr. T1- only that approaches to it at all, was in India. At the time Warren Hastings was Gover nor of that country, his exactions became so intolerable that Ilyder AH in the Car natic, consumed everything by fire from the mansion to the lowest blade of grasB on the soil" and left the Governor to make his collections from the denuded earth. Ilyder Ali was a heathen. No Christian since or before, until the days "of Grant was guilty of such vandalism. There might be some excuse for con duct of this kind, if the Government were consistent in endeavoring to annihilate them and crush them out of existence, but that does not appear to be the object of the Administration. If they have kept an agent employed all the time, for the last two years peddling goods to them, of every description, even to the rebel gray cloth that they wear for their uniform. Would it not . be better to let the rebels use their own food, and feed our men, whom they have, imprisoned in liichmond and other places, than wantonly destroy it, and have our own men suffering with hunger. Hut Lincoln and his Adminis tration have their own jlan of doing things, and it is not for us to dispute it. This is truly a good plan of union, the people of this valley, should feel a good deal of anxiety to get into a Union with such benefactors as these. After ruining their grain crops, their standing corn, their houses, their pictures and family relics laid in ashes, they will surely be inspired with a Union sentiment, if they had none before, and lay down their arms and beg to be admitted- into the Union with brave, magnanimous men, who have taught them what it was to have power and not abuse it They surely would not be unchristian enough not to lay down their arms, and love their enemies, and pray for them that despitefully use and persecute them. This double-faced Government of ours can no longer hoodwink the North or the South. The South knows they are fight ing for subjugation to get their soil, and free their negroes. The North knows they are carrying on and prolonging the war for the sake of plunder and the disfranchise ment of the Democratic white race both North and South. These Abolitionists hate the Democra tic party with a hatred so intense, that they would prefer the incarceration of a prominent Deinoerat to a victory pver the rebels. There is money and power in the war for them, and they would not like to have it finished very scon, whereas the election must be attended to immediately, and can't be postponed. They hate Val landigham, they hate Seymore, they hate M'Clellan, worse than they do Jefferson Davis, Beauregard or Iee. Because tlicy are further separated in politics from the former than they are from the latter. They have always wanted a dissolution of the Union if the negro could not be freed. They have changed no sentiments yet. They still hold to that doctrine. So far as a dissolution of the Union is con cerned, there is no diversity of opinion between the Government of Abe Lincoln and the Rebels. It is only the negro they are quarreling about. Whereas she Denio- cratic party and the Abolitionists are as far apart as the North and South pole. In no one item of governmental policy do they agree. The Democratic party want the Union as it was and the Constitution lived up to as it is. The Abolition party don't want that, any other government for them, sooner than the Constitution of their country. They are entirely demented on the subject of the blackmail. They have got the war and the plunder, and they in tend to hold on to it, until they are driven from the public crib by the force of ballot3 or the force of bullets. C3T The Catholic young ladies of Al toona, are busily preparing for their annu al Fair, which will come ofr in a few weeks. That the Altoona girls know how to get up a Fair, and please" their visitors, may be inferred from the unflagging interest, aad great success of their cflbrts last year. Due notice of the day of opening the Fair will be given, and strangers are cordially invited. Judge UlacK's Speech. On the outside of our paper, we pub lish the conclusion of Judge Black's 6pecch. We were sorry we bad not room for tha whole of it. Jt is tha masterly effort of street mind. The whole spesek: U and ortliy trf.a rfal ptru- - Democrats ! As this is the last paper we can issue previous to the election, let us remind you that it is the most important crisis in the history of your country. At other Presi dential elections people differed on some minor matters of govermental policy, in significant in themselves. Hut this elec tion will decide whether we are to have a country or not. Whether we are to be governed like the Polanders, the serfs of Hussia, the people of Ireland, or have such a government as we once had in this country. Then, come to the election, "Come as the waves come when naviesare stranded, Come as the wiud comes when forests are rended." This may be the last Presidential elec tion that ever will be held in these North ern States. If Lincoln should happen to be elected you will never be troubled with attending another Presidential election, he and his army, will attend to that branch of government themselves, without giv ing us any further trouble. The election now in many places is a mere farce, no indication of the popular will whatever. Iiut iu Pennsylvania lot us contend for it to the last, and we will unquestionably succeed. Come then to the election fur the sake of your country, come for your own fakes, come for the sake of your children and posterity. Come for the sake of your neighbors and acquain tances. We need scarcely ask the readers of our paper to come, because we know they are as anxious to do their duty as we are, but what we wish to impress on their minds is this. Wc wish every man not only to come himself, but to see that no Democratic voter stays at home on that day. Let us use vigilance and activity, "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty ." We "may do too little but wc certainly can not do too much. If we could only by our exertions free one of our neighbors from being hunted like a fox by the blood hounds of Lincoln, we would be certain ly well paid for our exertions on that day. The Democracy of this State can do it if they will, they are invincible when united as they are now. They will in crease the Democratic vote to a vast ex tent and carry Pennsylvania by a large majority. The soldiers will vote for M'Clcllan, at j least a majority of them, if they are not in- terfered with, and coinx.-IIed to vote for Lincoln, if they are, their vote will be treat ed, as that great ciubodimct of Abolition ism wanted to treat the vote of the citi zens of Pennsylvania,- " as if it never had happened." Tho people of Penn sylvania are not yet prepared to let Lin coln, like Louis Napoleon be elected em peror by the vote of his soldiers, or like Maximilliun iu Mexico, be elected by the vote cf the notables to be emperor. If the hand of Providence is against this country and it dies now at the age of eighty-eight years and four months, we can conscientiously say we had no hand in its death. There is none of the blood- money sticking to our finger?", there will j be no stains of blood on tho Democratic party if die it must. Many of the Democratic party, such as Forney, and Chapman, and Butler, and Dix, and some of the small fry such as Cessna, and Shannon, and T. C. Mc Dowell snielled the plunder afar off, and would follow it should it be into pande monium. If any of these men had lived in the days of the disciples of tho Prince of Peace, Judas would never have ot the price he did for the arrest of Christ. It would have been brought down to about 19,50. That is to say if the Provost Marshal would close with the lowest bidder. Pontius Pilate the Judge Aadvocate of Caesar was a gentle man and scholar compared with some of Lincoln's satraps. Although he could not stand the pressure, but condemned innocence with a full knowledge he was doing wrong, still Lincoln's men is worse, for they condemn without a trial or a hearing and do it to please their mastor with unwashed hands. If Lincoln would be re-elected no man's life or liberty would be secure at any time he might give offence to some pimp or spy of the Administration, and he might be kidnapped and put into some hostile, there to rot into oblivion. These are unwhole some truths which. w hope you will let sink deep into your tqip.de at this election, WearB8aUfje4 therefore you will do rour whole doty, sn4 we rf also satisfied the .rult will provt Mtiafpctory. Soldiers' Tote. There were fifty-four different polls, opened for Pennsylvania soldiers on the Second Tuesday of October last, in the different localities of the army in Vir ginia, Maryland, District of Columbia, Tennessee, &c. The Return Judges of the several dis tricts of Cambria county met last Friday, in pursuance of an Act of Assembly pass ed last August. Their duty according to that Act was not very onerous. They had nothing to do but sit down and rest themselves while two clerks were counting out the votes as certified by the Prothonotary. If that officers certificate is good for the number of votes polled it ough to be good to count them up also, and there was no necessity for putting the County to the expense of bringing all the Ileturn J udges here when they had nothing to do- It is however some of the wise legislation of an Abolition House in Harrisbur". D Johnston, in the several Districts had 5 L votes. Barker had 295 votes. Cyrus L. Pershing had 51 votes. Evan Roberts had 287 votes. James Myers had 46 votes. George Englebaugh had 115 votes. Francis M. Flanigan had 139 votes. .h.. 11. Dunnegan had 40 Abram Good had 2G5 votes. George Orris had 38 votes. Settlemoyer had 263 votes. John A. Kennedy had 37 votes. George votes. Thomas Hollan had 260 votes. SOLIUEHs' VOTK OK HI. AIR COUNTY. Johnston had 105 votes. Baiker had 363. It will le seen by the foregoing, that the powers that be, managed the soldiers' vote to suit themselves. Had these soldiers been at home these negro worshipers would not got the half of them, but the' had them under their control, and if they had not voted as they were told, by their officers, they might and probably would be harshly dealt with. Wc cannot blame the poor soldiers, they are absolute slaves for the time being, more so, than ever the negroes were to their Southern masters. These poor fellows are looking anxious-ly forward to the day when they ran again see their home and their friends, from whom they have been allured by false pretenses to fight for the Union in stead of the Negro. Fraud. We cannot too strongly impress upon the minds of the people, and especially of the soldiers in camp, to look out for frauds. The last election was carried by the fol lowing fraudulent methods of cheating the soldier out of his vote : 1st. Parties were sent out as scouts or as foraging parties all Democrats. 2d. Blank tickets were circulated, which the soldier could not fill up. 3d. In hospitals the agent voted for the soldier. 4th. No elections were held in compa nies and reciments that were strong! v emocratic. 5th. Where theie was but a minority of Democrats, they were threatened with the ball and chain. oin. democrats were kept in motion an uay on the cars or on the march trom place to place. th. Regiments were broken up into squads of eight, so that they could not hold an election. 8th. Mihtary officers refused to certify to the proxy (Democratic) votes, and the- were lost. - - i 0th. The tost masters detained the tick iCk-' mf eto sent to the army. i win. utlicerstook wssessionol receipts and other papers, and would not give them up to Democratic voters Tunous tickets were seui 10 me arm'. 12th. The proxy voles were opened and different tickt '- me returns were aitcreu or iaisi- . j gauging ,uc resuii oi ine ciccuoii. Now, we have heard of still other methods of cheating Democratic voters at the Presidential election. Some of these plans are as follows : 1st They give or send them a spurious ticket. 2d. They send them a genuine Demo cratic electoral ticket, but of another State. 3d. They print " Democratic Ticket " on the back of a Democratic ticket, in or der that they may be thrown out as an improper ticket. 4th. They mix the names on the elec toral ticket 5th. They print the ticket on colored or marked paper, in order to intimidate the voter. Cth. They trump up charges against Democrats and arrest them till after the election, and then let them go. . 7th. In some cases they will give them intoxicating liquors and then change their votes. We warn the soldier, therefore, to be ware of; all these methods of defrauding them out ofithir votM. FittAurg Pert. Rumored Reverses of Grant. A BLOODY BATTLE EXPECTED. From the Philadelphia Sunday Mercury. Washington, Oct. 29. The city has been full of rumors all day, to the effect that Grant was manoeuvred in his last attack upon the outer works of the Con federates in front of Richmond and Peters burg, and one wing of his army was driven back several miles. This, of course, is not confirmed by Mr. Stanton's dispatches this afternoon, at the same time does it appear from the general tenor that General Giant has gained any deci ded advantage in position. A decisive battle is impending along the whole of Grant's line, and you may expect at any moment to hear of its being commenced. On it depends the fate of Richmond and the election. It will be the most desperate and bloody battle of the war. Look out for stirring news before Monday. Uen. Grant's Sew Movement. Uai.timouk, Oct. 29. The passengers by the Fortress Monroe boat this morning, among whom were several press messen gers, report continued heavy firing on the left of Grant's army. They report the right wing as being in splendid condition, eager and able for anything. No sucli enthusiasm has ever been seen in this army previously. Officers and men speak confidently of the great undertaking that now lies before them. Several sutlers returned in the boat. The long looked for and talked of ad vance of the armies operating against Richmond has at last taken place. Yesterday the final preparations were completed by the withdrawal of the greater part of the Army ot the Potomac from the trenches and massing it in the rear ready for the move. The 1st Division of the 2d Corps, with a part of the 5th Corps, held tho entire line from the Appomattox on the right to some three miies west of the Weldon road on the left. All wagons, baggage, etc, were sent to the rear at City Point. At two o'clock this morning, General Hancock, with the second and third divi sions of his corps, moved along the Vaughan road, running southward, and after crossing Hatcher's run, found the rebels intrenched in newly made works. He at once charged thorn on the flank and drove the enemy out, and took some twenty prisoners most ly calvalry among whom wjis Major Venable, and Acting Adjutant General, but on what General's staff he would not tell. The Fifth Corps took the Squirrel Level road, and found the enemy posted at its junction with tho Duncan road, which runs north, from the Vaughan road to the lioynton road. From this they were driven by our skirmishers with some loss, the First Di- S vision having about 40 wounded in the affair. The Third Division of the. corpse took the advance, and crossing Hatcher's Run, connected with Second Corps. In the meantime Gen. Hancock ad vanced along a by road, driving the enemy before him till he reached the Boy n ton plank road, where the column halted and formed into line ot" battle on the farm of Mrs. Butler, the left reaching some dis tance west of the road, ami the ri:ht ex tending to a thick woods on the right. The Fifth Corps had also formed and advanced through the woods two miles. j but the left of the line failed to connect i ; ,b0 , igl!t wf the Second Corps I j The enemy fell back as we advanced, ! j nut ,iic line neared Hatcher's Run a-'ai.i j when the Confederates wore found behind ' strong entrenchments, and brisk firing j ; ensued, but without much loss to either I j s;,t., i t At about four o'clock in the aftermton. ! j the enemy taking advantage of the break j j in the line between the 2d and 5th Corps, ; w- ... ...

Fghting continued on this part of the line till after dark, when a heavy rain storm set in, putting an end to the fight ing for the day. The Ninth Corps oc cupied the right of the advance, but did not gain much ground, the object being to allow the left to get fairly around on the Boynton pland road. The colored divis ion of the Ninth had some skirmishing with the enemy, but nothing approaching a fight. They lost a few wounded. ArroiNTMKNTs by the County Com missioners. Edward ft.
