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.

We take from the Columb'a Co. papers,

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.

The Columbia Co, Political Prisoners.
The Star oj the North, speaking of Elias J.
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

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 <

WHAT GEN. 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.

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

JC2C Another of Lincoln's outrages was
committed on Saturday night last, at Gi

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

- 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

He has gone dearest mother, his spirit has fled,
That form once so lovely lies senseless and dead,
Death has set his dark seal, on that fair youthful
brow, J
And that warm loving heart, beats not for thee now
lie has gone, and low lies the cherished one's bead,
And the roseate bloom froin his smooth check has
fled.
The bright eyo is sealed and the soft lip is closed,
Where once love and feeling so sweetly reposed.
Oh ! why wis he severed from earth in bis bloom,
And his sick mind o'er shadowed by death's silent
gloom
While the r iinoow of hope on his pat!: shed its ray,
Like a beautiful meteor he vanished away.
'Twas the will of our heavenly father to call.
He knoweth full well what is goo ! for ns all.
Submissive ; we bow to his holy decree.
With an uplifted heart and humble bent knee.
He has gone. 0 <l. has taken thirio "wn precious son
Tb ine bosom's own treasure, the pride ot thine home
He is reaping the sweets of bis Saviour's Domains
Be calm, dearest mother, year loss is his gain,
