CoMPLMErARY.-The following compli-
mentary notices taken from the Wheeling
papers of the Millersburg Band, under the
leadership of c. kobe and s. Yates, will
be gratifying to the numerous friends of
the members of that Band. We know
that their performances would call forth
just such notices for theie was ~ finer
Band in the State. Long may they play.
"a splendid Regimental Band, which is
to accompany Col. AnisanselPs regiment
of cavalry, reached the city yesterday and
will 60 into Camp Carlile. They favored
our citizens with several we'll executed
pieces of music al the Mclure House. The
Band is one of the most excellent in the
county, Wheeling Intelligencer.
On Friday morning, an excellent Brass
Band, full aad complete in all its parts,
and comprising eighteen pieces, arrived in
this city for Col. Anisansells Cavalry Reg
iment. They are fine performers, well led,
and will add much to the spirit and eff

WHAT Has BECOME OF THEM?-ToD,
CARY and Dorsey were to have been in
Millersburg on the I'd Of October. Neither
of them came. ToD was sick, SO thew say.
and couldn't come. Why CARY aud Dor
SET were not here we don't know, nor never
expect to care very much. Neither of them
has been heard of since, and if they should
never turn up hereafter, We don't intend te
fret much about their mysterious disap
pearance." We have only one request tt
make, that is, if there is any cash left il
the hands of the Executive State Com
mittee, that it be expended to pay for I
'picture gallery" of themselves. So much
long-eared wisdom will probably never b
got together again in the same capacity
and for lack of it their successors shoult
have their pictures to look at and wonde
over. 1t wouldn't be bad investment also
if any means are left, to buy medals TO

ing appointments and not filing them.-
Extra long ones should be given to BIss

Letter of Ex.Presidcnt Buchan.

WEsrcHEsrER, Pa, Friday Oct. 4.
At the great Union meeting at Hayes
vile Chester county, on the lst inst, the
following from Ex-President Buchanan
was read.
WHEATLAND, near LANCASTER, Pa.
September %, 1861. {
DEAR SIR:-I have been bonored BY
your kind invitation, rs chairman of the
appropriate committee, to attend and ad-
dress Union meeting of the citizens of
Chester and Lancaster counties, to be held
at Haysville on the lst of October.
This should gladly accept, proceeding
as it does, from a much valued portion Of
my Congressional district, but advancing
years and the present state of my health
render it impossible. You correctly esti-
mate the deep interest, which l feel, in
common with the citizens who will there
be assembled, in the present condition of
our country.
This is indeed serious, but our present
military reverses so far from producing des-
pondency in the minds of a loyal and pow
erful people, will only animate them to
more mighty exertions in sustaining a war
which has become inevitable by the assault
of the Confederate States upon Fort Sum-
ter.
For this reason, were it possible, waiv-
ing all other topics, I should confine my
self to solemn and earnest appeal to my
countrymen and especially those without
families to volunteer for the war and join
the many thousand of brave and patriotic
volunteers who are already in the field.
This is moment for prompt, energetic
and united action, and not the discussion of
peace propositions. These we must know
would be rejected by the states that have
seeded unless we offer to recugnize their
independence, which is entirely out of the
question.
Better counsels may hereafter prevail,
when these people shall be convinced that
the war is not conducted for their conquest
or subjugation, but solely for the purpose
of bringing them back to their original po-
sitions in the Union, without impairing-in
the slightest degree any of their constitu-
tional rights.
Whilst, therefore we shall cordially hail
their return under our common glorious
flag and welcome them as brothers, vet
until that happy day shall arrive it will
be our duty to support the President with
all the men and means at the command OF
the country in vigorous and successful
prosecution of the war. -
rs Yours, very respectfully
(Signed) JAMES BUCHANAN.

E Judge SAMPLE dribbled out bis talk
in the Court House on Saturday evening,
last. He was at Napoleon through the
day, and if we did not know that be was
temperance man practically as well as
theoretically, should have thought him
drunk whan here in the evening. Such a
speech. 1t was dishwater reduced. A
sort of salamagundi, ths principal ingredi-
ents being rotten eggs and sinking fish,
coated over with stale falsehoods and out
rageous lies. The Judge enjoys and has
the benefit of most of his own talk, his
uttcrance generally being in the region
where he stores his victuals, and you can
generally tell, when, according to his own
ideas, he has said anything smart, by the
satisfactory grin which his face wears. He
was peculiarly hard, or thought he was,
upon ToD. Some others had to take it,
but Judge injured no one worse than him
self. We forgive him for what he said
about us-should have felt bad had he
said less. If jeff. Davis deserves hanging
for being traitor, SAMPLE deserves a
worse punishment, for we think him a
hundred fold worse than Davis.

Frightening up.

Advices by last nights train from JEFF
ferson City, are of a strongly encoura ging
nature. During the last three or four days
the most extraordinary activity has pre-
vailed in the transportation Of men and ar
my supplies westward to Sedalia. These
had accumulated in great numbers and
quantities at Jefferson City, and utter con-
fusion prevailed; steamboats, lying at the
wharf unloaded; the leyee piled in the
greatest disorder with the various descrip-
tions of freight; trains of cars impeded by
Irregularities of arrivals and departures,
and the lack Of help to load and unload
them; troops lying and lounging around
the the depot in the most uncomfortable
and disbearteniDg manner for want of
transportation. On the arrival of Gen.
Fremont work of great labor and en-
oarrassment lay before him; but bringing

may be said to be fully under way.
| A gentleman of close observation who
has free intermingled with the troops for

PRISONERS AT CHARLEsoN.-The Mer-
cury notices the arrival of $50 prisoners
from Richmond, and their escort by seven
infantry and two cavalry companies from
the depot to the Jail. Among the pris-
oners it gives the names of Capt. Shurt-
lift and Lieut.. Wilcox of the 7th Ohio.
The prisoners are nearly all from Michigan,
Massachusett and New York. According
to the Mercury, the officers wore their
uniforms, some of them somewhat dilapida.
ted, ard have plenty of specie. They
were solicitous to be allowed to employ a
cook to prepare their meals. Officers have
trunks, privates no superfuous baggage.
The prisoners were to be transferred from
the Jail to Castle Pickuey as soon as it
could be got ready for their reception, and
would be served with good substantial ra-
tions from the Commissary Department.

FORTRESS MONROE, Oct. q.
The steamer Express met by agreement
this morning, the rebel steamer Northum-
berIand. with flag of truce twelve miles
above Newport News. The Northumber-
land brought down fifty-seven wounded
prisoners who were released yesterday at
Richmond, captured at Bull Run. They
report that there are about five thousand
troops in Richmond; that the rebel army
on the Potomac is supposed to number
oyer one hundred and fifty thousand men,
and that apprehensions of an attack on
the seaboard cause the greatest anxiety.
Powerful batteries have been erected
along James river in anticipation of an ad
vance of the Federal army in tn at direction.
The armament has been removed from
the steamer jamestown. The prisoners
did not see the Yorktown. iss t9a "a
! The troops at Richmond were composed
of North Carolinians and Georgians. q
Gov. Brown, of Georgia, has recalled 5
regiments TO defend the State. l9y5
The rebel troops were suffering greatly
from the want of medicines, clothing, and
certain kinds of food. r s,-sJ 1ss
Articles cut off by the blockade were
bringing fabulous prices. II r-.4 sts .
The wounded prisoners were released
for the reason that their wants could not
be supplied. They havs been obliged to
sleep on the floor during their imprison-
ment. Gen. Beauregard was at Manassas,
and jeff. Davis returned to Richmond Sat-
urday in feeble health. Speculations were
rife as to bis successor.
Seventeen of the rebel prisoners who
were unable to 60 home have been sent to
the Old Point Hospital. .-a ir

The D1FrERENoE.-We opposed the
Mexican war because we believed it began
and waged to perpetuate and extend hu-
man Slavery. In this belief history has
borne us out. Asa g. DnnaocK, Esq,
then the Editor of the Holmes County
Farmer supported the war because of the
objects for which it was prosecuted-to wit:
the acquisition of more Slave territory
We support the Government in the prose-
cution of the present war, because it is
waged to perpetuate, in our land, free insti-
tutions. DMMock opposes it because his
sympathies are with the slave-drivers
of the South, who, when they found that
they could no longer rule the North as
they did their back slaves, rebelled, and
are for destroying the Government.
When the Congress of 1859 met and
tried to organize, the Southern slave-driv-
ers in the House said that JOHN SHER-
MAN, the candidate of the Republicans for
Speaker should not be elected, and that to
prevent it they would use force. To execute
their threats they went into the House
armed with knives and pistols. which were
worn so as to be observed by every one.
These weapons were pointed and shook in
the faces of Republican members in order
to intimidate them. Drunken bullies we're
imported from Southern cities who took
their places daily in the galleries to boot
and hiss whenever their masters bid them,
and an attempt was even made by these
same hired bullies to assassinate Northern
members on the streets of Washington.
If they could not carry their ends by vio-
lence they threatened to break up Congress
by Withdrawing in body, y,and thereby bring
about, what they have since began, dis
solution Of the Union. In all these out
rageous proceedings they were backed up
by majority of Northern members and
by majority of their papers in the North.
What was the duty of Northern Republl-
cans under such circumstances? Why to
stand firm, do their whole duty, and if the
Union, as consequence of this attempt to
maintain their rights in it,be dissolved, ,"why
let il slide" That was our belief then and
is vet. A Government incapable of pro-
tecting you in your rights is worth moth
ing, CO partnership with men, who, when
they cannot have their own will, would an
uul the terms of the contract, had better
be dissolved at once. To this condition
of things had our Government been bro't
Under Democratic rule. The South did as
they pleased. When they could no longer
do so, they rebelled, and initiated civil
war. ts8 .s.s-s
DnMocK's sympathies are with the
South. "Though personally a clever fel-
low be is tory" at heart, and should take
his person South, for where the heart is
there the body should be also.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 8.
Special to the Republican, dated at JEFF
ferson City, says:
Gems. Fremont and Mckinstry left for
the West this afternoon.
1t is stated here that Gen. Wool is now
on his way to St. Louis, and is to be fol-
lowed by fifty thousand troops, half of
whom are 10 stop at Cincinnati and 90 in
to Kentucky, while the other half are to
enter into active operations in Missouri,
and supply the place of Gen. Fremont's
army. ....t. r..
Information has be, received here that
about three weeks ago slave insurrection
was attempted in Jasper county, and that
about thirty five of the negroes were killed
and number of others were TO be hanged.
The discovery of the plot proved that the
insurrection was wide spread, and that the
slaves intended to murder their masters and
perpetrate all manner of barbarities.
A report is current that two thousand
rebels are twenty-six miles from Herman,
marching toward the Gasconade river, with
the intention of burning the railroad bridge
across that stream. These rebels are said
to be headed by Miskel johnson.
1t is Gen. Fremonl's intention TO follow
Price rapidly and continuously after leav
ing Sedalia, He will march twenty-five to
forty miles day, according TO the condi
tion of the road, and if necessary he will
enter Arkansas. Hesays he does not want
any more men; that he has sufficient force
to go anywhere through the South. He
seems to have entire confidence in his army,
and his officers and ;oldiers repose great
trust in him.
McCulloch's forces were on the south
bank Of the Usage river few days since,
with the design of cutting off Fremont's
communication with St. Louis, and then
marching OF that city.
Strong and experienced scouting parties
have been sent out to the whole Lower
Usage country.
