YOU why /; simply because they discovered
unmistakable evidences that it would not
"take :" that the people were not yet
ready to tolerate any such cry nor the
men who should give utterance to it. The
desire was in their hearts and to-day
the same motives actuate them which
found voice on that Gay in the howl for
peace. Yet to-day we find the watch
word, not peace, but unanimity to sup
port the Union, ard anxiety to put down
the rebellion, which means with them, to
draw the wool over the eyes Of Republl-
cans sufficiently to enable them to elect
their Whiskey Judges, when with Ii
cense to every doggery in the county,
they will be prepared with the levers
with which to carry succeeding elections
We are at a loss to know what is meant
by voting away our securities. Ifc have
had none voted away that we know Of.
In fact we do not know that we have lost
them in any manner. We have put our
selves to the trouble of enquiring of our
friends and they are also in the dark
We do not even know what is meant by
" Many Citizens in bringing up so grave
charge. Perhaps they may have had
something voted away; shouldn't much
wonder-if so We are exceedingly sorry,
and should they be willing to enlighten
US upon this point, we promise to give it
cur earnest attention, and by every hon
orable means. assist them IN their lauda-
bic endeavors to redress their wrongs.
One word more Citizens of Potter,
the "Union Ticket" men who are now
trying by the vilest trickcry to despoil
you Of your votes, have held the reins of
power in by gone times. You ali know
with what lavisb hand they dispensed
justice, what ability they brought to the
administration of affairs, how dcvotedIy
they looked after the interests of the poo-
pie, with what solicitudo they watched
after the taxes-"your taxes aud mine"
You know all this. 1t is not necessary
that we dwell upon it. We can but be-
lieve that at the coming election you will
administer to them the just rebule which
they have so long and so deservedly mer-
tied. XENE.

USE CAUTION. There is no small
thing which good housewives should be
so cautious about procuring as Saleratus.
It costs family but triHe, therefore
they are not always as particular about
the quality they get as they should be
Although it does not cost you much to
begin with, it may be dear in the end, as
impure Saleratus is the cause Of much

Northumberland, with flag of truce. The
latter brought down 81 wounded prisoners,
who were released on Sunday. at Richmond,
having been captured at Bull Run. They
we're released for the reason that their wants
could not be supplied. They have been
obliged TO sleep on bare floors during their
Imprisonment. Seventeen of the released
prisoners, who were unable to go home, have
been sent to Old Point hospital. The others
came north Monday night. They report
that there are about 1000 troops in Rich
mond, and that the rebel army on the Pots-
mac is supposed to number 100000. Appre-
tensions of an attack on the seaboard cause

Powerful batteries have been erected all
along the James river, in anticipatian of an
advance Of the federal army in that direction.
The rebel troops are suffering greatly from
want of medicines, clothing, ard certain
kinds of food. All articles cut off by the
blockade were bringing fabulous prices.

ENCOURAGING REPORTS.

Mr. Dole, commissioner of Indian affairs,
has returned from an official visit to the In
dian tribes in Kansas and Nebraska. He
was received BY them with gladness. They
sought every opportunity to express their
friendliness to the United States. He con-
versed with returned Kansas officers who
took part in the battle near Springfield, ard
who informed him that no separately organ
lied Indian forces were with the rebels on
that occasion, but that comparatively few
halt-oreeds only were in the ranks OF the en-
envy. The efforts of the rebels to array the
Indians against the United States, SO far as
our commissioner could learn, have been at
tended only with partial success. The lndi-
ans as class, are disposed to be friendly
But those who are hostile have been coerced
to that course by the rebels. 1t would re-
quire but little persuasion to raise large In
dian force in Kansas and Nebraska, to oper.
