£lje gnuotrat. HARVEY SU KLER. Editor. TUNKHANNOCK, P* Wednesday* NOT. 23* 1864 A MISTA KE. We were told by the shodJyites previous to the electi.n, that the election of Lincoln would show to the South that "we were in earnest " and that they would throw down their arms and give up the contest as a hopeless one ; and as consequence no more drafis would be necessary. Lincoln is elect ed, the Southern papers and secession lead ers, exult over the fact, even more than the Abolitionists themselves. It has shown to thcra that the people of the North are either foolish or insane, or both. The drafts are eomu# on in "double quick r and in double doses. We shall begin to think that the abo litionists were, to use a mild term—mista ken, car We are firmly in the belief that hun dreds of men m this county voted for Lincoln who are if anything, frightened at the result For a time forgetting their own and the coun try's best interest, the}' allowed themselves to be swayed by their office holding and office hunting party leaders into supporting his re election. But they already fear when more taxes and more drafts come, these leaders will be of no service to them—fear that they have been deceived to their own irreparable injury. There is much ground fur their ap prehension. tr our readers will excuse any errors ; of omission or commission in our paper this week. Uther duties have prevented us from giving the attention to local and new 6 items which we would desire. Military Rule iu Columbia County. We take from the Columb'a Co. papers, the iollowing. It speaks fur itself : NECK PULLING IN JACKSON. Columbia County ss : Leonard R Cole, of Jackson township, in said township of Jackson, and is sixteen years ef ego. That on Saturday afternoon November sth, three soldiers came to his falhets house and searched it. They then went tothe barn and deponant started to the orchard near it to drive out the sheep to another field. One uf the soldiers stopped him and took him to the stable in the barn . Two of them were there, They said they would make me tell where my father was 1 told them I did not know; that he had gone on Monday week to the mountain, up West Creek gap, to hunt, and told them the way there. During.the examination they put a rope round my neck and threw it over a mow pole and drew on it. One of them held the rope and ihe other had a b *ok to set down what I said. The one with the book directed the other to pull Larder. He said tny father had been there two hours before, that there was no use my denying it. I de nied he had been there. The rope was pull ed until tny heels were drawn off the floor and I was blinded and unable to speak. My mother and Bobbins approach ing, they tot k <ff the rope aud I staggered out of the stable. Ole oftheraj had a rope with him and they obtained another piece in the stable and tied the two together to draw me up. f I had answered the questions they had asked me and had not given them any uncivil language. I d< not know the uatnes of the 6oldiers in the stable but would know them upon seeing them. Tie third one, t was Ephraim Kline of Benton township. He was at the Corncrib between the llouse sod Bain.

Mclfenry ,one of the Columbia Co. Political prisoner* says; The subject of this notice was one of the Fort Mifflin prisoners, who was discharged on Tuesday, the Bth tnst., and has sines arrived home in Fishingereek township, Columbia from whence he, with firty-five others, was so summarily taken on the 31st day of Aug last. We understood that quite a number of these political prisoners are held in confine mailt at iiarrisburg, under the pretence ol '♦IB lergotng a truil. and the balance yet re main in Fort Miffin. These men have been incarcerated nearly eighty days, in a damp " unhealthy cell, which is dripping with water from the arches over them, and its sides kept 1 aifm sl constantly we*. Thcv are fast beiDg ruined in health—bee mting insane, deaf, and so afflicted with rheumatism as to be crip- 1 pled for life. No man, however sound in 1 health, could long undergo such treatment 1 These men have dune no'hing that they aho'd recieve such punishment. They should be < treated as innocent persons until they are ' proven otherwise. Then, if at all. it is time to subject them to such brutal and disgrace- c fui treatment. We would not be guilty of i treating dumb brutes as these men are treat- < cd. It is surprising that these men have ' borne up so well under such treatment at the i hand* of this administration. Mr. Mcllenry was released on the ground that "the Gov- a rrnment bad notbtug against him. 1 a I HOW SOLDIERS Aft E USRI). j The Republican papers makes a great noise i about giving the soldiers a right to vote.— J They were willing to knock down and drag : out all who honestly opposed introducing , schism into the army. Now that the election is over, these papers are publishing the vilest ' abuse in regard to many voters in the army who dared to exercise that privilege. The Harrisburg 'telegraph is foremost iu denounc ing the exercise of this right. On Saturday Unpublished a very abusive letter on this sub ject from which we extract a few paragraphs to show how Democratic soldiers are used These men fight sido by.side with the Aboli tionists. They love their country, they hate rebellion, they adore the Constitution and the Union, and they hate treason, but be cause they dared to exercise the rights which , the laws give them of voting for whom they i please, they are abused and maltreated and made to cheer for Lincoln and his negro pol icy, which they despise: "Besides these five scattered votes, we had the promise ol three men (God save the mark !) who were loud in their protestations of loyalty, men who own no soul of their own aud are as incapable of self-government a9 is i a P'g to perform on the tight rope—voted the unmistakable bold-faced Copperhead ticket, and afterwards had the audacity to assure us they were " all right." But fortunately, we know better, and pronounce them traitors They are known from Ato Z in company I, and the honorable portion of the opposition as heartily despise them, as we disclaim them as gentlemen or Honorable soldiers A sneaking, cowardly guerrilla deserves nei ther mercy nor quarters, on any terms. " This rule is pretty freely applied in this me ridian, and to the sorrow of 6ome "penitent Copperheads who threw away their ballots aud their manhood alike on the result of yes terday's election. " We have set a mark upon their actions of yesterday, by which we can tell them, and point them out to their children in after years with the brand of treason on their foreheads, glowing on the curse that was stened on the brow of Cain ! These very men, who wear clothing, eat the food and receive the pay of the Lnited States, then turn around and de nounce the President. '• We claim the votes of five men else where, belonging to company I, which, added to our thirty-three votes, would count thirty eight- -giving us a majority of seven votes victory enough over a pack of as bitter Cop perheads as the city Harrisburg could send beyond it limits—men who are as determined in their opinions, aud as tenacious to party spirit as the politicians of a certain township in Berks county. " The company quartermaster of company A, as a punishment for the offence, compelled the fellow to give three lusty cheers for Old Abe, on several occasions to-day to my cer tain knowledge." Such, fellow cifixens.is the treatment a st/ldiergets for fighting for his country under this ungodly administration. And it becomes the more grinding and appalling when we consider that there are eight thousand Mc- Ck-llan men in twenty thousand voters in the Army of the Potomac almost the half of the army, who are thus tortured and abused for voting for M'Clellan and the Constitution and against Lincoln and Davis,— Patriot $ Union. Capture of the Florida—Trouble with Brazil. The capture of the Confederate steam er Florida in the neutral port of Bahia, Brazil, by the Federal war Bteamcr, Wachusett. bids fait to create trouble between the two gov ernments. It appears that the Florida was in port, by the permission of the President, i to have her engine repaired. The Wachusett was also in port. There had been a challenge passed between the Captains of the two ves sels, and a battle was to take place outside the Brazilian waters at no distant day. We take from tbe account published in the " Journal da Bahia," the following particu lars : " Fearing some fight, since a challenge had been given, the President of the province ob tained from the U. S. consul his word of hon or that peace would be kept, and that no ac ' tion would take place in the port, or within the line of neutrality. The Florida, for bel ter security, was placed under the batteries of the flagship. On the 6th,the crew being in need of some ( recreation, rest, half of it was pnt on liberty and went on shore, coming back in the even ing. Many of the men being drunk, and , considering himself guaranteed in a neutral port, the captain of the Florida let thirty of , his crew and some of his officers sleep on | shore on the night of the 6tb and 7th. At 3. t 10 of the break of day the officer cf the deck | Hunter Junior, was surprised to hear the I , cables looaen on board of the Wachusett : i and her crew callod to quarters, which was' very difficult for it to do. Nearly at the same time some boats filled with men, board- I ed the Florida receiving from her a volley of t musketry, and they were seconded by the 1, Wachusett, which not being seen, owing to t the smoke of tbe funnels and the night being t very dark, tod left her pwsition and rapidly ran toward the Florida, passing by the stern , of tbe corvette Dorna Januariai which at j, once ordered her to heave to, but the captain j of the Wachusett did not heed the order, running rapidly upon the stem of the Florida <] which lay to the North. 0 , Hardly had she struck the latter, when g< she fired a shdt from her bow gun. At once t< a most of tbe Florida frit over, and she lost 1 p | some men ; bat the o®ew returned -<feeMe* i fire. ( It is asserted that there a great loss of ! life at all points in the struggle that took ' place with revolvers and cold steel, and that jit did not last long, for the complement of I the Florida was reduced by nesrly fifty men. j Among tie dead is said to be the officer of I the deck, who received a ball in the breast: and it is said that an officer named Stoi'.e.was killed from a shot in his mouth. Another officer leaping on board of the Wachusett, struck about him and fell dead under the ma ny blows dealt at him. Four sailors of the fifteen who leaped into the sea escaped, aad these were picked up by vessels lying near The other eleven were shot In the water by the enemy*. After this brief contest there came an inter va! of silence, which was broken by prolonged cbeers from the Wachusett. The chief of division, Gervasco Manoabo, 6ent a barge under the command of Lieuten ant Varella, on board of the Wachusett, to tell its captain to anchor at ouce, or be would sink him if he tried to continue his provoca tion. To this the latter replied, that on his word of honor, be would do no more, and that he would go back to his anchorage. This answer was given to the officer, the commander of the steamer not allowing him to come on board. But the steamer Waqhuse'-t had smartly made fast cable to the Florida, and he feign ed to return to its anchorage, steering to the south. She passed about cable : s length from the bow of the corvette D. Januar.a, which then opened lire, sending eight shots at the' steamer, which did not return the fire, and to the contrary,forced its speed to put itself out of range of the lire. Government vessels immediately put up steam and sari, for a chase, determined to capture the American vessels, but they had got too much start." The Journal further says : ~On the 7th, as scon as it became known that an insult had been offered to our flag by the United States Steamer Wachusett in capturing the C. S. Steamer Florida in our port during the night time, a crowd went to the office of the United Slates consul and forcing 'n the door took the arms that were there, and threw them about the streets as far as the lower city. Tn front of the Alfaodeja, some sailors ©f the Florida tried to get hold of the arms, but they would not be given to them. A force of police was then ordered cut at once, and was placed on guard before the house in which the consul was, the force remaining there all night The President of the prov nee cancelled j tie exaqvtur of tic Aon rican c< nsul. 11c Viceci usnl, Wilsi p,w ho had gone to sleep on board of the steamer Wachusett, also went away with him leaving the consulate vacant. On the 11th October a bark was engaged,by the captain of the Florida to carry to England the eighty men of his crew left on shore, who wore to sail ou the 14th, the captain rnd oth er officers to follow iu the next British tnai| steamer, to be under the protection of that flag-" | WHAT WILL. THE GOVERNMENT UP BRAZIL DO. In the matter of the Wachusett and the Florida, a similar case occurred in our diplo macy, when JEFFERSON was Secretary of State, in which we occupied the position now held by Brazil. I' was the capture,iuDelaware hay •vthn our jurisdiction, of the British ship Grange bv the Erench frigate V Ambus cade. Previous to making any official d mand cn the French government, Mr. JET FERSON submitted the case to the Attorney General of the United States for his opin ion, as to whether so large , expanse of water as Delaware Bay is within our' Juri sdiction. Mr. RANDOLPH, in his opinion, cited numerous authorities establishing our right, and concluding his'letter in these words "The conclusion, then, is that theGranyehas been seized on neutral ground. If this be admitted i he duty anting from the ilegal act is restitution " The resulting consequence was so undeniable that he deemed it super flor us to argue it. Mr Jefferson accordingly addressed to M De Ternant, the French minister, a letter, dated May 15, 179.1, cf which the passage here inserted is an extract The Capture of the British ship Grange by the French frigate f Embnseade, within the Delaware, has been the subject of a for tner latter to you. On full and mature con •ideration, the government deems the cap ture to have been unquestionably within its jurisdiction, and that, according to the rules of neutrality, and the protection it owes to all persons while within its limits, it is bound to see that the crew be liberated, and the vessel and cargo restored to their former owners. The Attorney General of the Unit ed States has made a statement of the ground < of this determination, a copy of which I havo i the honor to inclose you. I am, in ccnse i by the President of the i United States to express to you hie ! expectation, and at * the same time i his confidence, that you will be pleased to < take immediate and effectual measures for * having the ship Grange and her cargo restor , ed to the British owners, and the persons taken on board of her net at liberty! 1 < This is a correct exposition of thelaw; and, i asagain*t our government, it is conclusive.— ( If theiif re, Biaz I<h r*es to stand on the ex < trvme limit of her rights, the letter ofthe < law will justify her. The case of Mason i and SLID ELL, also, has a bearing upon the mat < ler. j WHAT a misfortune to the Abolitionists * [topping the slave trade !

SIR I I would respectfully eall you? at tention to seme few things happening of late f in Ibis cangtp, and humbly ask you to grant a small space in your columns for its publica [• lion, as it is one of many cases showing to . t what extremities the Republican party went , before the election came off. Men were grant . Ed furloughs from this camp to go home and ( vote, providing they would vote for LTriboln k and Johnson, and some of the hangers ou in this camp were paid five dollars for getting > theui that furlotlgh. But any tnaa who said r be was in favor of McUlcllan could out t go, and even now it is considered high trea son to cheer for "Little Mac." Most ofthe p Lincoln men are gone from the camp, end yes 1 teiday evening the boys got rather jubilant and begun to cheer for the Hero ol Aiuietam, j when we were all ordered to fall in line, about . forty men were band cuffed, and eight men were made|to carry heavy; logs of wood for i about three hours. If this is what is called . a free country deliver me from it.

SC.TT THINKS or MARTIAL LAW, AND TRIALS OF CITIZENS BV MILITARY COMMISSIONS. —The biography of Lieuteuaot Gen Scott prepared by an article on arbitrary arrests written by him, and published in the National Intelligencer, r* Jan. 4, 1864. In that article General Scott , condemns as "monstrous" the trial of any cit. izen not in the military service by a court martial. Referring to the sih and Gih amend ments of the Constitutions, he says '• If these amendments do not expressly se cure the citizen, not belonging to an army, from the possibility of being dragged before a council of war, or courtruartialed lor any pre tense. whatsoever, then there can be no secu ritv for any human rights under human insti tutions. Congress and the P r taideut could not, if they were unanimous, proclaim martial law over any parr of the United State* without first throwiug these amendments into the tire * * * It is vulgularly supposed, particu larly by those who, "dressed in a little brief authority," and lust for more, that the *us pension of habeas corpus, lets in upon the citi zen martial law. The suspension by Con gress would, certainly, for a Lime, enable power to hold any citizen incarcercerated without trial; but, if brought to trial,it iuusi still be before one of the ordinary courts of the land.—See Autobiography of Scott, Vol. ' If ~ p. 298 i SHERIDAN'S POLICY IN THE VIRGINIA VAL LEY —The f<oudou Time* denounces Sheri dan's brutal policy in the Valley of the She nandoah as follows r "We doubt if a full description of the achievement would excite any applause, or be approved by any asseniblv of Christian men, unless party hatred had converted them into demons. The incident tells f..p little on the issue of the civil war, but it gives a ter rible illustration of the spirit in which it is carried on. By an order from General Grant the Federal force, under Sheridan, which has pursued the Confederate army down the \ Valley of the Shenandoah, has turned north ward agiin. But in returning it has devas i tated the whole of the valley, front Crook's j Gap, the most southerly point it reached, to Stransburg its present quarters. A tract of fertile country, 50 miles in length, with an average breadth of4o, between the Blue Ridge and the North Mountains is buriniuto a wilderuess. We hope the General has exaggerated the extent of the destruction of which he has been the instrument,but he reports that 2 000 barns, and 70 mills, stored, with com and forage, meal and iinplimenta of agi iculture, < hava been given to the flames. One of his men was shot in carrying his order intoef feet, and in retaliation, every dwslliug with in a radius of five m ies from the spot where he fell, was burnt. Comment on such an atrocity is needless. Some physiolagists have asserted that the Americans havo grad ually acquired something of the Rod Indian cast ol countenance. Can the spirit of the savage have also entered into them ? But if the war is to go on thus it will be tbe modern disgrace of mankind. The destruc tion of what invaders spare, if even fur ther own sake, looks more like despera'lon of sue cess than a reasoning confidence. The Fed era Is must have given up the hope of possets ing in future the soil they ravage. Nemo i sic vaatat sua." i •• . | tU 01 J .- ' : JC2C Another of Lincoln's outrages was committed on Saturday night last, at Gi rardsville.this county. A number of soldiers stationed at this place, were sent in the night to the residence of three young men, two Mr. Monaghans and another young man whose name we aid not learn, hoisted the windows, entered the house, aroused them out of their sleep, and arrested them, without,a warrant or even without telling them their crime We hear that as Ihey committed the crime of cheering for McClelfan, and others"' 6tv that they arc the pkrty who forced an abolition preacher (one of those who preaches the word of the devil instead of the word of God) to cheer for McClellan, Let this be as it may, if they are guilty of any crime, why not ac cept bail, which was offered to any amount, for their appearance at court. But no such a course will do lor the Lincoln party, The Constitution of tbe State and United State* are set aside, law* xre disregarded, and our liberties endangered,.

" The Confederate* Uniting with the Aboil* Uonists In Rejoicing over Lin coln'* re-election, - y 1 It WAi telegraphed from Washington on Saturday, to Journal* io the Administration t ; interest, that the Richmond Journals, having . j received news ol the re-election of Mr. Lin- I i coin, were very doleful, etc., but the journals 1 themselves having come along, so far from 3 being doleful over the result, they appear to jj be quite as jubilant as the Tribune, Times, t, 0/J&T& and the rest of the Aboli . tion journals, and here re unanswerable ev- J idence of the fact: [From the Richmond Whig, Nov. 14.] ( Our information is next to positive that Mr t Lincoln has been re elected. Few have doubted from the first that this would be (he r result, and fewer still will regret it. For ] ourselves, wo feel that the great caus* for , which we are struggling has escaped a real _ peril. The policy of conciliation, or conces . sion. and cajolery which McClell&n would . have attempted was something more to be dreaded than Lincoln's armies and navies.— There was great reason to apprehend that sueh a policy would deceive, demoralize, and r divide the South. With Lincoln there is no t fear of this; our people will continue to stand , as one man : with him it is a united South againßf a divided North. With McCiellan it might have been a united North against a divided South, in which event all we have been striving for in this four years' struggle I would have been lost, But Lincoln is to . continue to be the master of the Yankeee, ! and ibo spectre of reconstruction vanishes forever. , (From the Rkhmond Enquirer, Nov 11.] ' Lincoln has been reeelected President o' li.ue United Stales. llis first election could not surprise any one, for he was wholly un known ; but his re election, after four years' experience of his character and capacity, will not fail to impress the world with a very low i opinion of popular government. So far as I the people of these States are interested, the j re-election o' Lincoln is entirely satisfactory j For tcs he is the right man in the right piare j We would not hßte had him defeated, but j gave all_the influence of the Enquirer to Lirn. ' Our reasons were entirely selfish. We pre ■ fee the management of this war to remain in the s-unt hands..that have directed it for the j last fvur years We prefer an ignorant, bru- I tal fool as commander-in-chief of the enemy to any General McCiellan might have given us more trouble, but we have taken the measure of Lincoln and know ex- I aclly his entire worthlessness. The four years tuo r e of war, which his election now makes sure, would not have been avoided by the election of McCiellan, but might have been conducted with much more ability, and given ns niorc trouble than Lincoln can pos sibly command. This re-election of Lincoln bind* our people still firmer together, and prevent tbe discu*sian and discord which the election of McCiellan might have introduced. We know that it means continued war, and our country, wil l prepare for it. There is no prospect for peace, and it is better for us that we should know clearly the purpose of the j enemy in this matter than to have been di. | vidod in opinion by the h<pes of peace, j which the defeat of Lincoln would have rais ied among our people. Let onr authorities I begin immediately the work of re-organizing the army, consolidating the regiments, filling up the ranks, improving the cavalry, and pre paring for the 6pt ing campaign. The rejoicing of the Rebels does not sur prise us, nor can it astonish any sensible re flecting mind. Lincoln's war policy has made the South a untie, and constantly add ed to the strength ol the Rebellion— so much so, that they have long regarded, and openly declared him lo be, "the Smith's best ally." If he had been defeated ; and the Democratic party, had obtained the control of the Government, the work of disunion among the Confederates wonld at onee have commenced, and it would not hive been long before the old Union feeling would have gained ascendency in several of the 6eceded States, and thus have opened the way for a restotation of the Union under the Constitu tion. This was what the Confederate lead ers feared, if the Democracy should succeed, and because of this fear, they earnestly de sited Lincoln :, re-election. That their de sire has been gratified, and they see in Lin coin's triumph, the success of their Confed eracy, it is but natural that they should re juice and be glad. When it becomes plain to ail, as it soon will, and the people of the North by the re electing Lincoln, have been simply playing into the hands of the Confederacy, hundreds and thousands al I over these States, wi II curse the day and the dead. They will see and understand how snd why the Abolition lead ers, South, unite in rejoicing over the re election of Abraham Lincoln to the Presiden. ( cy ; but repentence will not restore a brok j I en and dissevered Union, give back life to the hundreds of thousands of fathers, sons and brothers slain upon the battle field, or wipe out tho load of debt resting upon the t peopla. A change, then, from Abolition to Democratic rule, La change which is sure to come when the shfferiogs of the great mass of the people, North, bring them to a sense of their true interacts.) may do much to re pair the ruius of the Lincoln era, but it will " qoir> time even with the smiles of our Fa thers' 6od rusting upon the rulers hereafter to be chosen, to build up the waste places of the land, and to restore again to the peo pie of all suctions that unselfish and fraternal j ofaebmmon nalionalitv, which first brought j the States into Union, with cacti State sover creign', independent and self governing in all * respects, except ai expressly restrained or prohibited by the Federal Constituttcu. ~roun*r KBJOMSL • Donation V'falt-Uhe trieudj of ROT.
