The Frauds on the Pennsylvania
Central Railroad.

The conductors, by collision with the
ticket agents, are supposed to have robbed
the company of 100000.
Vice President Scott, of the company
had ascertained that one conductor had pur.
chased property in Philadelphia, for which
be paid $4,000 cash. Another conductor
was paying $500 per year house rent, while
bis salary was but $3.50. These and other
men who are living beyond their income
were watched, but nothing wrong could be
detected. 1t was clear, however, that 9
large amount of cash collections were being
withheld daily, and it is stated that as much
as 80 per cent. of the amount collected by
conductors, was retained.
Eight conductors and four ticket agents
have already been suspected. They had
regular offices in Pittsburg, Harrisburg
and Philadelphia, and were regularly organ

Discussion between Messrs. Andrews
and Miller.

CALEDok1A, Sept. %, 1860.
Oa last evening Messrs. Andrews and Mil
Ter met in political discussion at this place.
MIR. Andrews opened the debate. lie spoke
for one hour, and delivered one of the clear
est and most able expositions of Democracy
ever delivered in the County of Houston,
and one of the most effective speeches Of
the campaign. Mr.. Miller followed for hall
an hour. He used nor offered no reason or
argument for his political faith. He con-
sumed bis entire time in appeals to the alb
clifton prtjudices against slavery and the
Southern States. He told his cracker sto-
ry, his skunk story, bis lousy Republican
story, and such stuff, closing with the charge
that the people of Virginia, Kentucky and
Missouri were all brutes. Mr.. Andrews,
in bis half hour reply, gave him most
whitening rebuke for his charge of brutalism
against those States. Poor Miller and
friends, writhed and squrmed, and in order
to relieve himself, authorized MIR. Andrews
to say that he excepted Kentucky and Mis-
souri,, but would not withdraw bis brutal
charge against the nome of Washington,
Jefferson, Madison and Monroe Mr.. An
drews then forced him to admit that be was
once in full fellowship and good standing in
the Know Nothing party. He required
Mr.. Andrews to offer, as evidence that be
was not now Know Nothing, that he had
voted five times for catholics and foreigners
in Minnesota. This, to bis Know Nothing
Republican friends, was absolutely painful.
Mr.. Andrews left the Democracy of Hous.
ton perfectly delighted with bis speech and
with the man. CALEDONIA.

John Bell On Foreisners.

We call the special attention of our adopted
citizens to the following extract from speech
delivered by John Bell in 1865, at Knoxville.
It should be borne in mind that the Douglas
and Bell parties are fusing, and that by voting
for Douglas, If Bell carries the most electoral
votes, almost the entire Douglas vote will be
cast in his favor in the Electoral College, in
order to defeat Breckenridge. Here ia the ex-
tract-read it:

by the assailants Of the American party, and
their cooperation invoked In putting it down,
on the alleged ground that Its policy in regard
to foreigners tends to provoke riot and blood

the great poet, graphic description, In id

Mother am going to the market place;
Glide me no more. I'll mountebank their loves,
Cog their hearts from them, and come home
beloved
Of all the trades in Rome Look, am going ;
Commend me to my wife. I'll return Consul,
Or never trust me what my tongue can do

We beg pardon Of the memory Of Coriolanps
for the comparison, however, which does not
hold good in any other respect

answer that would have been very appropriate

The Election.

Fellow citizens, Democrats, patriots in less
than two weeks you will be called upon to OK
ercise one of the greatest rights that mankind
ever enjoyed-the right of sufTrage-and to
use that right in the selection Of men to I'LL
the two highest Offices in your gift. A fearful
responsibility now rests on every one who can
exercise this right. The enemies Of the South
the Black Republicans with their
recent successes in Pennsylvania and Indiana,
are resolved to force upon us the irrepressible
conflict doctrine Of their great leader, Wm
II. Seward. Arc we to suffer such injustice :!
No! The true men and patriots Of united
South will never allow Abraham Lincoln to
be elected President Of these United States.
There is one way, and only one, 10 defeat him,
and that is to rally round the standard of John
G. Breckenridge and Joseph Lane, the gallant
defenders Of the Constitution, the Union and
the equal rights Of all the States But why, say
you, do you propose only to unite on Breckiu-
ridge and Lane? Why not as we'll unite on
Bell and Everett, or Douglas and johnson !?
That is a very easy question, and we will an
swer it Because Breckenridge and Lane are
the strongest candidates before the people and
VIC we do not make this as mere empty as
scrlion, but have the facts to back us in it
the recent State elections.
1fa Black Republican is elected there is no
telling what will be the consequences there
may be another John Brown raid into Virginia,
or house. burnings and poisoning Of springs in

matter Of course, become boldet,)-or every.
thing may, perchancs move on shoothly-therc
is no certainty; therefore every freeman who
loves his whole country, his family, his Preside,
and the rights Of the South in particular, should
march to the polls on the 9Th Of November in
solid phalanx and cast their votes for John C.
Breckenridge as the only man who can defeat
Lincoln.

The National Democracy In the

On the goth instant there was 4 great gath

Union, Morehouae, Carroll and Caldwell were
arbor in front Of the court house, beautifully
decorated with thirty three small banners, with
the name Of one State on each. The national
flag stood to the right Of the speakers stand.
AT 10 o'clock q. m. the Hon. G. Il. Morrison
announced the order Of apeaking-an hour and
quarter for the opening and an hour for re-
joinders and conclusion.
Col. John Claiborne, Of New Orleans, was
first introduced, who proceeded 10 discuss the
political issues Of the day so calmly, intelli-
gently and closely, that the attention Of the
audience was not suffered to relax. 1t was no
ad eapsandum effort. He addressed himself to
the understanding, and has doubtless put many
misguided men to rejecting, aud they will 60
to the polls resolved to support Breckinridge
and Lane. The Colonel was frequently ap-
plauded.
W.. @. Baker esq, of Ouachita, next took
the stand In behalf Of Mr.. Douglas He is a
talented man and did credit to himself It lie
useless for us 10 take time to give what he said.
It was Douglas speech, and everybody has
heard It.
The Hon. John Ray, Of Ouachlta, Bell Elec-
tor for the 9Th District followed. Heis known
throughout the State as an able man and an
nvetcrate hater Of the Democracy. He has
given 1t many hard blow but he is so hedg-
ed in by dumb leaders that be devotes most Of
his time to the !" Glorious Union"
The political pyramid that Col. Claiborne so
dextrousiy and truthfally wrought, they did
not-thcy dared not-touch.
The Hon. VIM N. Levy, of Natchitoches,
Democratic Elector for the 6tk District, was
loudly called for, and he appeared upon the
stand amidst vociferous applause. If the OPP
position did anything, he undid it. He expos
ed their tallacies so clearly and the applause
was SO great that We believe the opposition

the happiest efforts we have ever heard. Al
though very severe at times the complaisance
ofhis address failed to give offence, and every
one we heard, spoke in the highest terms of the
dignity Of the man, the boldncss Of the speake,
and the courtesy Of the politician. He closed
in beautiful appeal to the ladies, who were
Immediately in front Of him they remunera
ted him with bouquets.
At 81 p. m. dinner was announced. The
meats were prepared by Mr.. Gideon P. Routor
in the best style. The ladies furnished thu
cake, and 1t would have done credit to o bri
dol board.
There was much enthusiasm, and the friends
Of Breckenridge and Lane ore confident thai
Ouachita will endorse them by handsome mo
jority. As for the State We presume there il
not an Informed man who would not readily
concede that Breckenridge and Lane will carry
it by at least 5000 majority.
Our principles must triumph eventually, ant
we confidently hope that it will be in Novem
Der next. On that day (6th) AMERICA WILL
EXPECT EVERY MAN TO DO uIs DUTY, and W,
calmly await the triumph Of the truth"
