SHERIDAN WHIPS EARLY ;
'Tlie Rebel Forces Bootee! I
Gen. Sheridan has fought three battles
during the last week witlithafebel forces
under Early, in the Shenand r oah
in each of which the rebels were badly
beaten and daiven back until their retreat
became a perfect rout. !The rebel loSs is
estimated at 3000 killed, 5000 wounded,
and-tve have capturedabout 8000 prison
ers, 20 guns, and a large- amount of am
inutaition_Jtncl provisions. Our loss is'not
yet estimated, but is reported compara
tively light. The last reports stated that
Gen. Sheridan a'as 'expecting to capture
the wholb of the Shenandoah valley rebel
army. Nothing important at Petersb l urg
er Atlanta.
Surrender of Mobile.
' The Memphis Bulkeia of yestertlay
publishes, IT what it regards as trust
worthy author'ity. the substauee of d, dis
phtith received at Holly Springs, an
-nouncing the unconditional- surrender of
Mobilo to our gunboats. No tlate l .; l are
given. The gunboats apprciautiedl;the
city so close they could have destroyed it
without difficulty.
Some people were credulous enoucth to
believe that McClellan would refuse to
run on the Chicago platfoim. The fallacy
of`their belief is apparent since his letter,
accepting the nomination has appeared.
He talks. all around tho white feather
platform, but does not repudiate; it. So,
he stands upon a peace platform asking
support as a war democrat. He; believes
in the ,practicability tat coercing the re
bellious States back again into thb Union.
His platform repudiates coercionl So he
is at variance with the platform which
foreshadows tho policy he is expected to
adopt if elected. •
Really, this reminds us of the old farce
of "Buchanan, Breckenridge and Free
Kansas," which Border Ruffian Democ
racy played out in Potter county in 1856.
It won't do, Messrs. Vallandigham & Co.
A war candidate on a flag of truce plat
form is just a trifle too re faced. Try
some shrewder game.--'Agitator
A Warning to Patriotic Dem-
crags.
The Selinsgrove Timesboasts that from
the first it has, consistently opposed any
armed coercion of the !insurgents in the
Southern - Stateg. One of its expressions
was that any Democrat who enlists is an
Abolitionist or fool ! Pn the subject of
Senator for that district, the Tinzs of the
22th ult. gives the following omenous
hints : . .
"We hope We shall I le able Conscien
! tiously to support the !nominee, Whoever
he may be. - Unless we can do this upon
the great question now before our coun
try, of war or peace, We shall prefer to
support no man. If this war ism, be pros
ecuted beyond the year 1864, ire much,
prefer that Abraham Lincoln shall have
the privilege antk. pleasure of doing so.
Before we consent to support any man
who is in favor of this war, we shall pre
fer to consign 'our establishment to the
flames. There is not a corporal's; guarsl
of war democrats in the whole of Snyder
county, and for cot!' democrat to come out
on a war platform, will be utter, Jolly,
for certain defeat will be his doom. And•
so it ought to be."
WE this week put the name of A. G.
01,:usT.En, Esq., upon the ticket, as one
of the candidates fort.he Assembly for
this district. The proceedings of the
Conference will he- found in the local
column.
It is hardly necessary for us to multi
ply words in setting forth the cilaims of
Mr Olmsted to the fvllest confidence and
support of the freemen of Tioga,! Those
claißs are disputed by no true friend of
the country Personally, we know 'him
to be a man ,of unblemished integrity,
both as a man and a legislator, and a pa
triot as true as steel. In private life he
one of the most genial men with whom
it has been our fortune to meet; and we
most heartily endorse the recommendation
of the Harrisinirg Telegraph, and several
other journals that he be the nest Speak
er of the llouse. Ms prospects arc first

MUST SUBMIT !—At the opening of
the new Club 'louse, of the Keystone
Club, Mr. Chas. IngeriAl struck the key
,note of the party fur the campaign. Ile
declared that if Mr. Lincoln is elected,
as ho most assuredly will be, it will be
REVOLUTION 'There can be but one
nterprctation to such language. A revolt
in the North is threatened if McClellan
is defeated. In this the party is consis
tent. Jeff. Davis declares that the ma
jority should not rule, and his Northern
allies make haste to endorse the doctrine.
The issue is 'fairly represented. If Mc-
Clellan is elected we will submit : but it
must be distinctly understood that, if Mr.
Lincoln is re.eleeted, the Copperheads
must aad stun: submit. The rule must
work both ways.
THE PEACE PARTY.—On Monday
last, at the Meeting of the Keystone Jlub
in Philadelphia, John Bell Robinson, a
well known Copperlicad,publicly declared
that he thanked. God, that ho had never
since the commencement of the rebellion,
said a word, written a word, or thought a
word in favor of the war ! His reason for
this was, that the North and not the
South was to blame for the present strife.
And :vet Mr. Robinson, supports McClel
lan, whose only reputation is Co be found
in his military record. Is this not sus
picious ? Will the friends of. the living
and dead heroes of Our gallant army vote
A?r a candidate who is found in such com r
pally as that of Vallandigham, Wood,
Ingersoll and Robinson',?
The Inconsistency of the Couporheads
is exhibited• when they proclaim their
opposition to the draft, and yet hurrah
for the mau who urged a draft more
strongly than anybody else.

to; charge the draft upon this Adminis

Clellan, or Tom Tether, because it has
come. The draft is a necessity of the
War. It comes because the war wants
soldiers and must have them, or, stop.—
Lincoln didn't get up the war, if some
Copperhead did say so. The Rebels,

• 13ROOKLAND, Sept. 20, 1864.
To THE JOUIZNAL: While the wages
of laborers,mechanies,Government clerks,
soldiers and officers, are advanced with
the advance of prices—while several coun
ties haveraised thd salary of their County
Superintendent of schools, we seem to say
nothing On the subject, apparently for
getful of the fact that since the sarary of
our Superintendent was , fixed at 6500,
nearly. all things he has to buy for family
use &e., has doubled in price.; I suggest
the callinc , of a Convention of Directors
to raise the salary—and suggest $BOO as
the price. As is now pretty well under-
Stood, this Will be merely saying to the
authorities. "you may pay our Superin
tendent $BOO out of the General .Lund,
instead of $500." It would not decrease
our "State Appropriation" to schools. •
What says any Director to this propo
sition—needed but not solicited by our
Superintendent ?
As over, a friend of schools, N. D.
.1:3--Major Gen. McClellan in accept
ing a nomination for the Presidency:from
LI Convention demanding that "immedi
ate effort be made for a cessation of hos
tilities," says that "he is happy to know
i.iiat when the nomination was made the
record of his public life' was kept in
iriew." Will his friends permit us to
agree with him without calling us libel
ers? The one thing thatjs plain is his
record is that he never fdnght if he could
help it.. So long as the P,ebels wouldiet
him alone, Stove pipes in position, as at
itlunson's Hill, and Qu l aker guns as at

3ffeClel3.att at Malvern
We find the following stittem4t about
McClellan's retreat from INlalverninill, in
the Rev. J. J. Mark's able history of the
"The Peninsula Campaign in VOginia."
It is a portion of history which will be
difficult for General McClellan to eltplain-
The statement is the more Impo4nt just
now from the fact that the Rev. .Mr. Marks
wrote his history immediately afr:er .Me-
Clcllan abandoned the Peninsula.l
It was not written for any political
effect ; nor by apolitician, but ab army
chaplain, , who was a faithful witness of
the scenes which he describes. We copy
it now for the benefit of the people who
are invited to vote for the sweet-scented
General Who ran away from a victory
which the - glorious old Army of ihe Po.
tomae had won. Mr. Marks says.:
Giiiiens and
issued OctOer
The, battle was over, but the emiaonad
log still continued, and shells and balls
of every kind tore through the woods in
a ceaseless whirlwind of fury. 'En the
meantime thonsands of the Confederates
fled in the wildest disorder from th!e, scene
and hid themselves in swamps and hol
lows; Esoldieri without guns, hdresmen
without caps and swords, came to the hos
pitals in the battle field of Glend4le, and
reported. that their regiments. and brig
ades were swept away, and they alone
were "escaped to tell tho tale."
It is one of the strangest thins in
this week of disaster that General 3le
Clellan Ordered a retreat to Harrison's
Landing, six miles down the Jame River
after he had gained 83 decided a Victory.
When this order was received by the im
patient and eager army, conste6ation
and amassment overwhelmed our itiptriotie
and ardent hosts. Some regu * Sed to
obey the command. Gen. illa74indale
shed tears of shame.
Tho brave and chivalrous Kcartley said
in the presence of many offieMts : I
Philip Kearney, an old soldier, enter my
solemn protest against this order for re
treat —We ought instead of retreging; to
follow up tho:cnemy and, take Richmond.
And in full view of all the responsibility
of such a declaration, I say. to You all,
such an 'order can only be prompted by,

PAST AND . FIITITEE.—The first plank
in the Chicago platform declares "that in
the future, as in tho past, we will tadhere
with unswerving fidelity to the ,Union,"
&o. In the light Of the history ;of the
past four years, this reads very tenth like
a joke. 'Dare the party refer to itsrpast"
fidelity to the Union ? The people have
not forgotten that the "past" history of
the Democratic party is associated with
the treason of Jeff. Davis, who prated
much more loudly than his modern dis
eiplers of his devotion to the Unioi:i!, while
he was plotting its overthrow. The"past"
indeed ! If we are called upon to judge
of the "future . ' of the Democratic party
by the ('past," we shall lave a rebellion
inaugurated upon Northern sail,Lif the

To Jill-Gen. G. B. NeClellan,Orange, N. T.
DEAR SIR it is a mean thing to listen
at the key-hole. It is' meaner to open a
private letter.] It is the meanest of all
to accept hospitality and abuse the host.
But these mean things _ 'are Christian vir
tues compared to the sat of accepting the
nomination oj j 'a party in order to destroy
it, A platform is a party's soul. A can
didate is the party's body. Separate the
body from the soul, and death ensues.
It is as difficUlt to sit between two stools
'as to sleep with-one eye open. You can
not worship cod and Mammon. lloneS
ty is not only the best policy, but the
only one for an honest man. To cheat in
politics is as Wicker' as to cheat in money.
Yon' know, the Peaco men controlled
the Convention. They gave you a plat
form that wad neither fish, flesh, fowl nor
mackerel.. Hence, the Daily News, the
Metropolitan Record, Freeman's Journal,
and Ohio Crisis fly.off from you like hoops
from an effervescing barrel. Singleton
will follow. Toed Vallandigham will fall
in, and in two weeks Pendleton will de
cline to be shipwrecked with the rest.
"Come oat from under'the bed," said the
indignant wife to her undecided husband.
"Not," said ho, "so long as I have the
spirit of a man within me."
Mark my words, General : you will not
carry a single State except Now Jersey,
and you wilt sacrifice seven Democratic
members of Congress out of ten. Look
at Vermont. ! Maine will be the same.
Indiana will :only lead the other State's by
a month.
You will find it as hard, as the rebels
have to fight such Democratic names as
Foot,Tarrag.ht, Porter, and DuponEon
the sea, or Grant, Meade, Burnside, Sick
les, Hancock, , Thomax, and Sherman, on
the land, all of whom are against you.
The late letters of Sherman and Grant
rattle through the Democratic ranks like
lightning through a goosebury bush. It
only costs tWo thousand doll&rs to. - get tip
a McClellan ;meeting. Yohng lictehuin
said so. If the explosion of a limited
quantity of ;gas in Union square killed
two men and wounded several the other
night, what' rill bo the dis7stor when
your whole, party bursts up in November?
James Buchanan said that he was no
longer J. 8., but the Cincinnati platforni.
Yon reverse it, and .say you are not the
Chicago platform, but G. B. Mac.
Bulger said the "pen was mightier
than the sword." . Then he bad not made
your acquairitance,.General. Nominated
on your record? Yes. The draft. The
proclamation. The suspension of the ha
beas corpus. The arrest of Legislatures..
Military at the polls and disobedience of
orders. Is, not that 'your public record ?
Do you mean; by alluding to your record;
that you will dO the same again I
"GcsrtsuM•r: I have the honor to acknowl
edge the receipt of Your letter, informing me
of my nomination •(of course, who else did you
suppose it was 7) ' by the Democratic National
Convention, (certa'nly' it was not the Repub:
lican National j Committee,) recently assem
bled at Chicago, (that's so ; it didn't assemble
at Cleavoland or New. York,) as their candi
date at the next election for the President of
the United States, (Exactly; it was not for
the last election.) It is unnecessary for me
to say that this nomination comes to me un
sought." (Why sny it, then ?)
Take the whole letter, paragraph by
paragraph, 'transpose it as I havo this
sentence, andlyoul will .find it as weak as
dishwater--anclecieed, inconsistent, un
grammatical, and egotistical. The six
allusions to the Union remind-one of the
stereotyped cry in the Fortunes of 1.\110.el
—"wdtches, clocks, barnacles." The
bright boy who cried "barnacles, watches,
clocks," introduced a now idea into Scot
land. •
,
"If a frank, earnest, and persibtent effort to
obtain those objects should fail, the respon
sibility for ulterior consequences will fall
upon those - trim remain in arms against the
Union. (Why not say war right out, not
dodge round a corner this way? Dou't for
get that old CaSs killed himself with the Nich
olson letter.) Believing that the views herd
expressed are those of the Convention and - the
people you represent-, - I accept the nomina
tion." You don't believe anything of the
kind. You knoW better. The Northwest
were all peace:, So reads the platform.
Five hundred delegates unanimously
agree upon a platform. Here it is :
Resolved, Tq please you, they have war.
Resolved, To please Pendleton, they
have peace. '
Resolved, To please all the outs, the
war go on till the peace is signed.
Remember I that ithe Royal George in
British Channel went down with all on
board, the result of tri4ning.
,
'Walter Swage Lander wrote on the
Georges :
"George the First was reckoned vile,
Viler George the Second,
And what mortal ever beard
Any good of George the Third.?
When from earth the Fotirth ascended,
God be praised the Georges ended."
I condense your, letter in two lines :
"GENTLEMEN : I accept the nomination, bu t
acknowledge myself totally unfit for the po
sition." ,
I mean nothinrankind in this,'Gen
eral, but you know that you are a - lair
mark, not a large ono, for all to shoot at.
