AN ITEM.-=Judge Miller, copperhead
of Ohio, in • a recent speech said: "A bloody
war has been waged to elevate the, negro to
an equality with the white man. There is
no difference between a war democrat and an
Abolitionist. They are both links in' the
same sausage, made from the same dog."
RETURNEA—A copy of the; last REC
ORD addressed to JOHN BARNHART, State
Line, has been returned with the inscription
uu tho,margin—"Gone West." If John was
not able to foot his, bill at this office for sev
eral years subscription he should at least
havb given us goodbye or a lock of his" hair
Lefore,taking leave of his old friends. We
should have had some token by which to re
member such a clever fellow.
OUR QUOTA.—Is our quota under the
last call for troops full? Sothe say it is; oth
ers declare it is not If there is yet a defi
ciency we should' certainly know the truth
by this time that arrangements may be, made
to complete the work. It would be highly
discreditable for our Borough to prole an,
exception to other towns •of the county, by
coming short one, two or three men.
THE DRAPT.—The Provost Marshall
General has ordered the draft to :commence
in this Stale on Monday next. The defi
ciency uporl' . :the State quota is said, to be
some 19,000. During the last few weeks
most strenuous efforts have been made to fill
the quotas of . the different districts in this
county. Our township friondsinotwithstau ,
ding their. tardiness in commencing the work,
we are .plea.scd to announce, have succeeded
in getting the required number of volunteers
and are consequently relieved of the draft.
We' learn that our • Quincy friends are also
actively at work,. with every prospect of a
full quota by. the close of the week. They
are giving 500 local bounty. ' , „

The leaders of the rebellion have ceased to
see any hope for their cause in the aims 'of
war. They are now looping-to•the Arena of
politica. • A party has -been set up whose
ereeds and aims have their-entire sympathy
and moral . support.' The platform of that
party has nothing but expressions of contu
mely for the sacred war, the recital of which
1 has been made; for Jeff Davis and his crew
it• has nothing. but expressions of Sympathy
and respect. The people of the North have
now before them the momentous question of
determining, by their action, whether they
will justify all the precious hind shed in
arryiog it triumphantly through_
and crowning it•with a.glorious and honora
ble - peace, — or — whether 'base - surrender

A HEROIC WOMAN.—The notorious
guerilla, Gen. John Morgan; a notice of whose
death we published, ast week, it appears met
the fate he so well merited thro' female strata
egy.. ' It appers that he put up at the house
of lady named Williams, near the village of
Greenville, Tenn. The account states that
the lady in question waite4.until Morgan fell
asleep, then• quietly mounted a' horse and
rode 15 miles to procure a sqad of 'Crain sol
diers. ' When Morgan woke up be found
the house surrounded by bayonets, and 'in
attempting to make his escape was killed.—
The husband of Mrs. Williams is said to toe
one of Gen.. ]3uinside's staff. Noble we-
leirThe following is an .extract from the
letter of Gen. Grant 'written in August : 1863,
alter the fall of Vicksburg: '
"The people of the North need not quar
rel over the institiithw of slavery. What
Vice President, Stephens acknowledges as
the corner-stone of the Confederacy is alrea
dy knocked out.' Slavery is.silready dead, and
-cannot be resurrected. It would take a
standing army to Maintain slavery in the
South, if we were to take possession, anii
had 'guaranteed to the South all her consti
tutional privileges. I never was :in Aboli
tionist ; not even what Would be called anti 7
slavery; but I try to judge fairly and hon
estly, and it became patent to my mind very
early in the rebellion, that the Iforth and
South, could
,never live at' peace with each
other, except as one nation, and that without
slaverli. 4s anxious as .1 am to see peace
established, I would not, therefore i be witling
to .see any settlement :Intel this question is for
ever settled."

General Hooker at/Watertown,
ELEEM
TErLow CITIZENS : You have come here
to rejoice at the_succass of -the Union arms,
in which I am ready to join you heart and
hand. Aly business is fighting, not speech
making, but let me tell you that the army of
Sherman is invincible, and cannot be dia
-1 hearfEded. We must treat this rebellion as
-a-wise—parent—would a vieictus_child=he
must whip him into subjection. No milder
discipline will answer the purpose. Some
are crying peace; but there can be no peace
as long as a rebel can be found with arms
in liis hands. Woe be to those who -cry
peace when there is no peace. _This Union
must be preserved, and there is no way of
preserving it but ,by. the power of our arms
—by fighting
,the conspiracy to death. This
rebellion is tottering now while • I speak ; it
is going down, down, and will soon tumble
into ruin. Politicians may talk to you a
bout the cause of the war, - but I say, put
down the rebellion, and then, if you choose,
inquire into the cause of it But first put
down the insurgents—first whip them, and
•n_-tally--abeut-the -cause - ice oir --
nothing else to engage your attention.
_I
believe in ,treating the rebellion as General
Jackson treated Indians—whip them first
and treat with them- aftirwards. The Union
cannot be,divided, let politicians talk as they
may ; for pf division commences, where are
you to end? Perst the South would go, then
the Pacific States, then New England, and
hear that one notorious politician has .advo
cated twat the city of New York Aqui(' sece
de from the Empire State. In such case
there - would be no end to rebellion. Gentle.
men, every interest you have depends upon
the success of our cause ; every dollar you
possess is at stake in the preservation of this
Union. It will better accord with. my feel
ings to see - the limits of our glorious country
extended, rather than circumscribed, and we
may feel it a national necessity to enlarge
our borders at no distant day. This Union,
gentlemen, cannot be dissolved, as long as
the army have guns to fight wiih. Furnish
men and muskets, and the Union is secured.

Headquarters Department of West Vir
ginia,-in-the field,_near_Berryville, Sept. 8.
—ln the hurried account which I sent of
Saturday's engagement at Berryville, I er
roneously stated the number of our wounded
at 300.
From ()Mint returns it appears that our to
tal loss will not exceed 100 seriously woun
ded and killed.
The enemy's loss was very heavy. They
are known to- have lust 300 in- ono brigado,
and their total loss cannot fall short of 500.
The rebel General• ilumphieys was mor
tally wounded, but cusped.
The decided repulse and defeat of the en
emy by General Crook's command reflects
great' credit. on , General Sheridan, General
Crook, and the latter's gallant command, who
fought splendidly.
With respect to the loss of•tho ambulance
train, it appears there was a sufficient guard!
furnished to prevent its capture if a proper.
disposition bad been made of them. The am
bulances have, however, all been. recaptured
with the exception of one. „.
The enemy are believed to be encamped in.
the vicinity of Winchester. There has been
no °badge in affairs here since my last des
patch.
