'•TAKE OFF THE SWOSD. McCLELLAN."
•VTSIVTXX SY A SOLPIIU FOR THY MIISECSI DEM
OCRAT.
Take off tiiy svrord. McClellan,
Take off thy coat of blue:
Strip quickly from the shoulders
Those starry badges too ;
You are no more a soldier,
You've changed your base again ;
On Peace's platform standing
The garb of war is vain.
Wnen first vre met, McClellan,
You led a hero band;
A prracd, devoted army
Was then at your command—
The finest on tile planet,
It longed to meet the foe,
It needed but a leader
To strike the crushing blow.
Where are they now, McClellan,
Those heroes whom you led?
The cry of anguish answers,
" Alas, they're with the dead."'
They sleep in peace eternal,
Those true, devoted braves ;
The only peace you conquered,
The peace of soldiers' graves !
Alack ! alack ! McOlellan,
Our faith was hard to shake,
We trusted long your promise,
That you would Richmond take ;
Till back you staggered, leading,
Your back towards the foe,
With columns torn and bleeding,
And banners drooping low.
But now you hold, McClellan,
Another high command,
Another force is mustered,
And you lead on the band ;
And is that force enlisted
To fight the Union wars.
And plant on Richmond s hill-tops
The fiag of Stripes and Stars ?
Alas ! alas ! McClellan,
A craven crew you lead,
"Peace" glitters on their banners,
While yet our soldiers bleed,
They basely cry "surrender."
Ere the Union is restored ;
They kiss the feet of traitors,
And throw away the sword.
I
Have yon no shame. McClellan?
Rave you forgot the past?
Have you so long lad freemen,
To herd with slaves at last?
Alas ! alas ! McClellan,
It seemeth so to be,
When yon raise the fag of traitor 3
And drop that of the free!
A GREAT WORK DO\E
PHILADELPHIA AND ERIE E. E. FINISHED '
Turn we aside a moment from all the
turmoil and excitement of the Election,
tocontemplatean important civil triumph.
The shortest route between the Ocean
and the Lakes, must ultimately command
the most travel and transportation. So
thought Pennsylvania wheD,7o years ago,
she purchased the harbor of Erie, which
naturally belonged to the State of New
York. Thai State had other harbors. In
securing Erie, our State not only obtained
a safe, commodious, splendid harbor, tut
also cae free from ice some weeks earlier
and some weeks later, than Dunkirk or
Buffalo. It may therefore be claimed as
the best harbor on the Lakes.
Plans were first made to gain a water
connection. The great mind of Nicholas
Biddle was active in the arrangement of a
railway connection, of which Catawissa
Railway is a fruit. The Sortk American
gives toe following subsequent history :
Another great enterprise is completed
— product and producer of wealth in
Pennsylvania, equally benficia! to the
east and the west; full of value now, and
sure to make great returns to the section
which it traverces, to tie State and all
parts of the States, and to foreign States
at no remote day. Lake Erie is joined to
the tides that pulse in the Susquehanna
and Delaware. The whole system of Lake
commerce, stretching from far down the
St. Lawrence to the head of Lake Supe
rior, as an affluent as well as a market for
the business tbat enters the port of Phil
adelphia,and for all that growing business
of the interior which adds to the size and
commercial importance of the true capita!
beyond the ideas of the greater part.
More than thirty years ago a railway
was planned to unite the port of Erie
wiih Sunbury. The same projectors
proposed continuing the read to Philadel
phia, and, in 1837, obtained a charter,
which was signed by Governor Ritner.
The route was partially surveyed in 1838,
and continued and completed in 1830.
The estimated cort was nine millions of
dollars. Thirty thousand shares of the
stock, or about one third of the reqaired
sum were subscribed wheu the financial
crash of 1841 blasted all the prospects
upon which the original promoters relied,
aad tLe scheme fell aeleep. Some saga
cious men, however, saw the inevitable
future of the State, and preserved the
charter by repeated renewals from the
Legislature. lu 1852 active work was
commenced under the administration of
President lallou. Messrs. W.G. and J.
>
L>. Morehead built thirty-nine miles of
the road, between Sunbury and Williams
port. twice crossing the Susquehanna by
long bridges,for (he sum of $1,981,260 21,
and completed their contract with the
close of 1855. In that year the line from
Erie to Warren was let. In 1858 the
corporation purchased the State canals,
| and in December of the ensuing year the
road was opened from Erie to Warren,
fifty-five miles. In IS6I the road was
re-named the Philadelphia and Erie, in
j stead of the Suobury and Erie, and per
manently leased to the Pennsylvania Cen
tral Company for thirty per cent, of the
revenue, alter the completion of the road.
The last rail was laid in August of this
year, and the great project, after so many
vicissitudes and perplexities, is an accom
plished fact to adorn the annals of the
great civil war. That it has been com
pleted at all, considering the natural dif
ficulties to be overcome, increased by the
troubles of '4l and '46, is cue evidence of
the steady growth in power and wealth of
the State, and a durable tribute to the
power of those who have had its manage
ment. Now that it is completed, and
added to the long list of iron bands with
which the good eld commonwealth is be
ing girded, we may all indulge in a feel
iDg of justifiable State pride, and look
forward to brighter days ia every depart
ment of business.
The contest of Atlantic cities is for the
commerce of the great though undevel
oped west. For more thaa fifty years it
has been teen that the sceptre would fall
to whatever port controlled it. With a
foresight and energy which does infinite
credit to her citizens, New York has
struggled to approppiatc the bulk of this
business by canals, railways and telegraph
lines. But no cunning can shorten de
grees of longitude, nor no Ekill overcome
natural advantages fitly improved. Bos
ton is boriDg endless mountain? to attain
some share. New York is turning erery
corner for the whole. Baltimore has done
nobly. Butjthe shortest route from New
York to Erie, via Bethlehem and Mauch
Chunk, is four hundred Jand eighty-five
miles, while Philadelphia is nearer by
forty-oue miles. Each city communicates
with Erie by five several roads, and Bal
timore connects by two. Many of these
: are common in some parts, bat they arc
; necessary rivals. Philadelphia having
• the most natural advantages, now improv
ed to the utmost, must CDjcy an increas
, ing share of the business which comes by
water and rail to Erie.

J
THE FORMAL OPENING.
, Tuesday, Oct. 4, A. P. 1564, a special
, train of seven cars left Phila. at an early
; hour, and tarried that night a: Lock Ha
) ven. There they were joined by Gov.
Curtin, and on Wednesday reached Erie,
[ about 6, P. M., where they were formally
welcomed and entertained. Thursday,
they took au excursion beyond the harbor,
and duly returned to Phila. without ae
-1 cideDt. This was the first of the regular
excursion train on this thoroughfare.
At "Kane." (or Lamont,) between
Wilcox and Sheffield, is the summit be
tween the Ciarion and Tionesta, and is
i the highest point on the road, being 2004
feet above tide water. At this point the
Company intend erecting works Eimilar
to those at Renova.
—Had this road been pushed through
when first projected, Erie would ere this
have outstripped Buffalo, and Phila. ri
valled New York. The numerous towns
and cities along the line of the X. Y. &
Erie, would have been on the line .cf the
Philadelphia and Erie, and the wilderness
part of our State would have been com
paratively populous and wealthy. The
drain upon cur State to build up another |
would have been reversed, and Pennsyl- ]
vania might now be the equal of New >
York State. The work is now done, and ;
although New York has 15 to 20 years t
the start, it is ours cow to make amends {
for past neglect. Our trade and travel [
byway cf Eimira can now mostly seek a j
a shorter route, saving both time and mon- ]
cy. The lumber, coal, iroD, aod oil re- <
sources of the region will be developed, i
and in return Central Pennsylvania pro- ]
duce will find t market, and our surplus j
population a place for business nearer ;
home. Our Lewisburg schools will find j
DC w students, and our manufactories near
er fields for ail honorable efforts
Success, then, to the Phila. & Erie a
Railway ' Honorably and liberally eon- i
ducted, it can hardly fail o: being good c
stock and a great public blessing. ;
The road is divided into three divisions, t
as follows : 1 j
EASTERN —Scalury to Rctrova, 02 miles- 1
MIDDLE —Renova to Lament, 101 44 c
WESTERN —La Mont to Erie, 04 44 ?

George 12. Peadleton.
There have been a great many truthful
and tharp things said respecting this
••familiar fricnjl" of the Great Apostle of
Peace, but nothing more forcible and
pungent than has fallen from his former
colleague iu the House, that gallant sol
dier and distinguished Democret, the de
-1 voted friend of Judge Douglas, Major
General John H. Lcgan. In a powerful
and characteristic speech of his at Car
bendaie, 111., marked by the blnntness of
the soldier aad the familiar knowledge of
current events of the skilful politician,
General Logan says :
'•They ask me to vcte for George B.
McClellan on such a platform as this!—
I say I won't do it. [Applause.] Tb£y
ask me to vote for George H. Pendleton,
and I say I would not vote for him on
that or any other platform, for Vice Pres
ident or any other cffice, if the devil
were a candidate against him. Why do
'I say so? I served with hi in in Congress,
and I have been forced and compelled to
denounce him as a traitor; and I have a
gcod right to do so to-day. I have heard
from his lips, in the halb cf Congress,
before be was even thought of as a can
didate, words of treason and disloyalty,
lie has denounced this war from the time
it commenced. He has never voted a
solitary dollar, nor a cent, in favor of
prosecuting this war, no matter bow the
money was to be expended—whether for
grub for the soldiers, or anything else —
not one dollar has he voted that could be
spent in any rras against the rebellion
and in favor cf the Government. I defy
his friends to-day to point me to cnc line,
or one syllable, ever written or uttered by
him in favor of restoring this Govern
ment by putting down the rebellion—not
a word. But if you will read his speeches
you will find that he has iastrffed Seces
sion. You will find that he has adve
ted State Rights,and said that he believed
that the people of the South had a right
to secede, and the Government had no
riiiht to coerce them back into the Union.
That is the doclrine he has advocated,
and upon that record peopie ask me to
vote for him. Again, I defy any man to
show me his letter accepting his nomina
tion cn the Chicago platform. Where is
it? Why is it that no man can find it:
He has never accepted lhat nomination
except by simple acquiescence, and by
being put on the ticket. Why is this, 7.
say ? Because the Chicago Convention
knew, when they adopted that platform,
that MeClellan would write a soft letter,
sort of for war, saying that be knew the.'
Convention was for war, bat they fcrgct
to say so, and all that kind of thing. 1
[Laughter.] They have prevented George
H. Pendleton from writing a letter, and '
I venture to scy that he will never writs 1
one. Because, if they wanted a letter :
from him, unless they wrote it themselves, 1
he has been EO much in the habit of 1
speaking treason that he could not write !
anything else. It would damn him before -
the country, and they knew it."
CONVERTED. —A copperhead up North, (
after days aad nights of great tribulation,
got religion. The first thing he did, as
evidence of the roundness of his coover
sien, was to order the discontinuance of \
the Dubuque Herald. He then paid for J
a load of wood which he deposited in :
front of a house occupied by the family 1
of a soldier. After which he wa3 met by (
a copperhead with whom he had been on '
intimate terms, and who informed him 1
that "he was ad—d abolition scoundrel "
In less than two and a half seconds the 1
author cf the abusive language* was so
thoroughly thrashed by the young eon
vert that he howled for mercy. That's a 1
sound conversion. 1
He that telis his wife the news is but "
newly married. k

Tlic Rebels Actively at worlv
For Mcl'lellan.
Wo have on several occasions shown
that the candidate of the Copperhead
party for the Ptesidency has the sympathy
of the rncst active spirits of the rebellion,
and that they are malting great calcula
tions on his election. It is known that
after the meeting of the Chicago Conven
tion, when the news of the little hero's
nomination reached the Rebel army at
Richmond, it was received with vocifer
ous cheering; and ws have to add. to-day,
an evidence of the fact that Rebel officers
are actually active at work for him. A
returned soldier at Norristown makes the
following statement under oath :
Montgomery County, ss.
Personlly appeared before me, a Jus
tice of the Peace iu and for said countv,
Franklin Schwenk, of Upper Providence
township, Montgomery county, aud State
of Pennsylvania, a private of Combany if,
loth Regiment Pennsylvania Cavalry,
who, en his solemn oath, deposetb and
says, that, on the ninth day of March,
186-1, he was taken prisoner near Bristow
Station, Virginia, and conveyed to Belle
Isle Prison, and from thence to General
Hospital No. 21, in Richmond ; that oa
the first day of August, 1804, the Direr*
tor of said hospital waited on him ami
proposed to parol him and tc permit Ai'vt
to return home if he would promise t'j
vote for George B. McClellan at the ap
proaching .election : that he, the, sat'i
I'ranklen Schwenk, in order to escape
from starvation and Rebel atrocity, did
make said promise, end therefore was pa
roled. The said Franklin Schwenk fur
ther says, under his solemn oath that ell
prisoners of said hospital who frank'y
and positively said that they would i*'o
for Abraham L incoln were not parefail,
but retained in said hospital.

2>csperation of the Rebels.
A Richmond papea says, their whit s
being nearly exhausted, they will next
arm their slaves.
The Confederato Congress, in Decem
ber last, passed an act, the first section of
which is in these words ; "The Congress
of the Confedeate States do enact that
all white residents of the Confederate
States between the ages of seventeen and
fifty are in the service of the Confederate
States ' The act then provides how far
mers, mechanics and others may be de
tailed by military authority It) raise the
provisions and do the work fur the army
in the field.
Jeff. Davis in his Georgia speech, say*:
, I 'We must do our duty, aud that duty is
this : Every man able tc pear'arms must
go to the front, and all others must devoto
themselves to the cause at home. There
must be no pleading for exembtion. Wo
are fighting for existence."
In the same speech, Davis paid twe
thirds of their army were absent—that is
they are Union men at heart, and eoutrivo
to keep out of the service, or they are ut
terly disheartened.
Truly did Gen. Grant say of the-Reb
els, "They have robbed alike the crad'e
aud the grave,!' to keep up the hope u
success by means of a divided North.
Sherman, Sheridan, and Grant are each
too struct: to be driven out of the three
strongholds of Rebeidom, ana Wilming

where their ships can steal in and out !
