LATEST DISPATCH.
tch to the Chicago Times.

Special dispatch to the Chicago Times.
WASHINGTON, Oct. ].
The President and General Scott are
deeply grieved at the personal squabbles
of General Fremont with Frank p. Blair.
SCOTS order for the unconditional
release Of Blair, after his second arrest by
Fremont, was made without any solicita
ton from Postmaster General Blair, or
any other person. but from Scott's own
sense Of justice and military propriety.
The greatest surprise is expressed by
General Ccots and the President at Fre-
mont's hardness in leaving ST. Louis.
Outrages of the most vandal kind upon
property -including burning houses and
breaking pianos and mirlors-have been
committed by Federal troops ever since
the occupation of Munson's Hill.
Gen. Mcclellan issued orders against
such conduct, on Sunday but the outra-
ges continued yesterday, and orders have
now been issued 10 shoot offenders when
ever caught.
Mcclellan has ordered an investigation
of the culpability in shooting into each
other Of the Pennsylvania regiments. and
the guilty parties will be punished.
WASHINGTON. Oct. I.
Gen. Mcclellan and staff visited the out
posts of the army of the Potomac yesterday
afternoon, inspecting the nature as we'll as
the constructed Notifications about Mum
sons and Upton's Hills and Falls Church.
The inhabitants in the vicinity state that
the rebels are but half clad, worse fed, and
most of .hem without shoes. They had no
money. but an abundance of Virginia shin
plasters, with which they paid for their
forced purchases.
In deserted house near munson's Hill
several letters written by rebels were found,
in which they state that it was General
Beauregards intention to attack our troops
on the Goth Of September.
Everything is quiet along the line. The
observatory balloon has been advanced to
Op.on's Hill, mile aud half this side
of Falls Church. Considerable changes
have taken place in the different camps

THE ELECTION.

The annual election is approaching, and
every voter should not fail to attend. The
importance of selecting suitable men to
fill the different offices, no matter how iu-
significant, cannot be over estimated. In
efficiency and corruption are too apt to
find a lodgment in the persons of that
much abused class of eur fellow. citizens,
the Office holders. The most unceasing
vigilance of the people is necessary to
keep them in a moderate stale of purif-
cation; and even the well-directed and Oft
repeated blows of political canvass. do
not always have the desired effect County
officers not proof against the seductive
wiles of political honor and pecuniary
emoluments; and the utmost discretion
should be exercised in filling their places
when their terms of office expire.
At the election next Tuesday, there are
but three county Offices to fill Recorder.
Commissioner, and Surveyor. Some of
the townships elect Justice of the Peace
The office of Recorder is considered the
least difficult to fill of any of the county
offices. A good copyist and punctuali,y.
are the most requisite qualifications. That
the Democratic candidate possesses them
in good degree, is fact which he will
be able TO demonstrate 10 the satisfaction
of the people. if elected. Against his
opponent we have nothing to say, as a
gentleman and citizen; but there is no
reason WHY rotation in office" should
not be applied to HIM as we'll as others.
He has held the office four years, and Of
course will not object to being "superse-
ded."
The most important office is that of
Commissioner. Mr.. Rank, the Democrat.
&c candidate, Is an old resident Of the
county: has held the Office several years,
and is thoroughly acquainted and identi-
fed with the interests Of the county. In
addition to administrative abilities of
high order, he can bring a thorough
knowledge Of the duties he will be called
upon to discharge. If his opponent is
elected, the same treatment of the Poor
will be continued, and "no dissatisfaction
expressed. Let the people choose between
them.
Mr.. Klinger, for surveyor. has had no
little experience in surveying. and has
gwen satisfaction in every case. He is
thoroughly acquainted with the topogra-
ply Of the county, and other matters per-
tanning TO the business
Every Democrat should be early at the
polls. and vote the straight ticket, and see
that his neighbors do the same thing.
A good turnout will give us the victory;
indifference and iDaction will defeat us.
Let every Democrat, who is not afraiI to
be called such. be at his post, as in days
Of yore.

WHO ARE THE INSTIGATORS.

We have it from reliable authority, and
from those who know whereof they affirm.
that the instigators of mob violence, which
has been threatened by soldiers and others.
the number ARE residents Of Plymouth !!
A portion of them take this method of
venting their political spleen. but the
principal workers in the scheme are act
uated by personal enmity. The commu-
nifty, WHO are interested in law and order.
will doubtless see that such incendiaries
are properly cared for. No ordinary pun.
ishment is severe enough for those who
would instigate such proceedings.
The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1861-10-03
REM T. VI BIER!

That The Republican leaders hereabouts
endorse and encourage mob law. and
would be glad to see it enforced against all
Democrats who refuse to bow the knee to
them. Ii the election shows that they
have large majority in the county Dem
ocrais will be- threatened for daring to say
n word against them. Show them your
strength and AL will be well.

RECEIVED HIS REWARD.

Hon j. r. SLACK. who has devoted his
time and talent in trying 10 abuse the Re-
publican party. for the last eight or nine
years, became an admirer OF the
Lincoln policy last Spring. since which
time he has been at work for Governor
MORTON, who a few days ago rewarded
him for his services by commissioning him
Colonel Of the Nth Indiana Regiment.

DEMOCRATS!

Do not allow any threats that all
who vote the Democratic ticket will be
looked upon with suspicion deter you
from casting your vote for the men Of
your choice. 1t is hews TO Democrats
that they cannot be patriots without vo-
ting the Republican ticket. Yet there
are many WHO wonld like make such a
test. Do not be deceived by them.

to receive its benefits.
To the above pay for private soldiers must be
added the additional s. a month to be paid during
service, the 500 bounty at the end of the war.
which has already been provided for, and the quar-
ter section of land that Congress will provide for
at its coming session. The bounty and land apply
to officers and privates alike.

the rebels have any hope of crossing ia six
feet above fording depth. Fording depth
is where the water is up to the belt, say
about two and half or three feet deep.
The reconnaissance Of the rebels probably
developed to them the condition Of the

Thomas, at Camp Dick Robson, tele.

rebels have not lately sent any Of their
forces to the Upper Potomac. They have
merely retired further back into Virginia.
Their lines extend from Occoquan and
Manassas to Fairfax Court House, Man

A large company of telegraph men and
bridge builders are at work to-day on the
Virginia side of the Potomac.
Great activity prevails along our lines.
