%Ar. Hutchins the Democratic
candidate for Congress was in town last
week. on visit to the faithful Of that
old party who think It's integrity and
maintainsnee as such duty paramount
to any other. He seemed 10 psy spe-
cial attention to that class, who pay lit
tie or no attention to any thing outside
Of Democracy. Whether he assured
them as he did bis friends in Jackson
and vintOn. that he stood squarely on
the 4th Of July platform endorsing VAL
laudighsm. Medsry & Co., we know not,
Probably in this latitude it was deemed
advisable to mount the Union pony and
show of his PAGES. We have seer
skillful riders on two horses when run
ming in the same direction. The sue
cessful rider Of two ponies running il
opposite directions, still remains to b
seen. The platform Of 4th July last
under vsllandighsm, Medsry & Co.,
and that OF the Union party, are two
such ponies "percisely." Mr.. Hutch
ins may be and doubtless is quite ar
expert In that line, but we very much
doubt. il on the ed Tuesday Of October
next, he don't find himself in q state
Of "betweeuity."

HAzARpous BUT SUCCESSFUL ESCAPE

HAZARDoUs BUT SUCCESSFUL ESCAPE :
The friends of Mr.. J. L. Heron, for
merly Of Washington city. late colonel
Of the Nineteenth Regiment Of Virginia
Militia, will be glad to learn his escape
from poison in Richmond, and his safe
arrival in Washington, where his fam
ily have resided during bis absence.
He was in business at Richmond when
the Secession trouble broke out, and,
being an open Union man, he was ar
rested in March last, after having been
previously parolled, and was committed
to close prison as a hostage. On the
Cd inst, through the agency OF friends,
at two O'Clock in the morning, Col.
Heron and two companions, Mich1
Drosnan and Patrick Hogan, effected
their escape. They reached Cbicka-
hominy by dawn, and secreted them
selves during the day. Resumiug their
march at night, they continued on their
Journey, concealing themselves in the
day and travelling by night, obtain
ing food occasionally at negro cab
ins. They came up through Hanover,
Louisa, Culpepper, Fauquier, DC. STUN
bling one night, near Bristow Station,
on a rebel picket. which hailed them
and fred four Intellectual shots at them,
but they eluded the enemy and es-
capped.
Approaching house one morning,
= few miles from WarreDton, 70 get
some breakfast, the mistress gave them
food, and, not knowing their character,
disclosed to Mr.. Heron, eon6dentially,
that Confederate officer was IN the
house sick, and told him that it was
General Ewell. Knowing the General
very well by sight, Mr.. H. went to his
chamber, where he found him in bed,
and had some unimportant conversation
with him, without. however, disclosing
who be was himself. He learned from
the mistress OF the house that the Gen.
erals left leg had been smputsted above
the knee, that she had sent her carriage
to GAINESVILLE to bring the General away
after be had sufficiently recovered after
the amputation Of his leg 90 be re-
moved, and he was on his way 10 her
house when bis guard wss attacked by
Colonel Price last Friday and captured.
General Ewell, who was in front, alone
escaped by the head-long speed Of his
coachman. Mr.. Heron and his two
companions finally reached the Union
pickeis beyond Alexandria, and obtain
ing pass from the provost marshall
which we have read. arrived safe in
Washington on the 24th inst, pretty
well tired out, as may be imagined,
by their long. anxious and perilOus
march.-[NatiOnsl Inteligencer.

HSunset Cox, like Vallandigham,
is using every effort to retain his seat
in Congress. No trick or device is
left untried by Samivel to warp himself
into his old berth. The "no-party"
dodge is played "on thousand strings" /"
At late meeting in a place where
Union men were thick he tout -Heroded
Herod" 10 his adulation of "our be-
loved President" and administered a
scathing rebuke to those who would
fetter or embarrass bis movements,
even concluding by proposing three
cheers for old Abe Lincoln, in the Civ
ing of which. none were louder than
Sam-yvel Sham-ful Cox. But all will
prove of no avail. Sammy's sun is
about to set. The political sky will no
longer be illumined by its rays. So
with Vallandigham. When they have
sunk below the horizon, never more to
rise, the people should see that kindred
suns are not permitted to rise in their
places. The principles of the former
have become too well known, to do
much harm. Others may take their
places, however, whose course in Con-
gress would prove equally disastrous to
the Union cause. See to it, voters of
Gallia county, that the eleventh district
be not disgraced in the eyes of the
world by electing q man like Mr..
Hutchins. who thus far has given you
no palpable proofs that be will not fol-
low in their footsteps. Vote for Mr.
Bundy whose whole political life fur
nishes evidence. Of difference as wide
as that now existing between President
Lincoln and JEFF Davis.

PITY THE POOR CREDITORS

Mr.. 2. @. Pearson, shipowner Of
Hull, is "unsble to meet his acceptan-
ces." In palmer language. be is bank
rupt. Mr.. Pearson, who was apparent
" a merchant in a good line Of busi-
ness when our war broke ont, went
largely into the Southern trade"
which seems TO have q curious charm
for John Bull. He saw before him the
shadow Of an immense fortuue, and,
like the dog in the fable, be dropped
what he had already secured, and
plunged over head aad ears into the
gulf Of Southern trade, after the allur-
lag shadow. On the first OF this
month he emerged, dripping, poorer,
but We trust, a wiser Bull.
The liabilities Of Mr.. Pearson were
stated, when the steamer left, at four
hundred thousand pounds sterling
about two millions Of dollars. The
profits of the Southern trade are great
but they are hard to get. The
Southern merchant just now demands q
long credit; be likes to owe, but does
not ike to pay; he is apt to put of the
evil day, and has gentlemsnly aver
zion to squaring accounts, which ari-
ses, perhaps, from the habit Of taking
he labor Of his slaves for nothing
He exclaims with the chivalric Pistol,
I'base is the slave that pays"
OF all this Mr.. Pearson might have
70. at least some hint, if he bad been
,rudent enough to make inquiry in
New York or Philadelphis as to the
character and standing Of

I" AS this Is the last NUMBER OF tne
Journal, which will reach our readers,
prior to the election, We deem it our
duty to call their attention to the i'm
portsnce of turning out to the polls.--
The excitement on the war question has
so extremely absorbed public attention,
that many men are scarcely aware Of
the election being SO close at hand
Honest, unsuspeoting Union men. whose
love Of country prompts them at this
crisis to turn every energy to crushing
out this internal rebellion, are not
aware that the allies of the enemy are
silently, but actively at work. to se-
cure the election to Congress Of man,
whom they know and believe to be all
right on their side. They are leaving
no means untried, to persuade Union
men of Mr.. Hutcbins' loyalty and con-
servatism, at the same time assuring
their own friends that they will be per-
fectly safe in voting for him.
Farmers Of Gellia county, You know
these men OF old. You know how un-
scrupuIously they work to carry out
their views. Will you quietly remain
at home, on the election day, and suf-
fer them to defeat an honest, worthy
man like Mr.. Bundy, whose whole life
has been one of untiring devotion 10 bis
country. Listen not to these men in
their attempts to deceive you. They
can assert nothing Of Mr.. Hutchins SO
far as bis loyalty and devotion to the
Union cause is concerned, that is not
equally applicable to Mr.. BuDdy. Why
then should you either stay away, or
If present vote for Hutchins. Do you
wish to be classed with a set of dema-
goguss whose efforts are only to per-
petuate the rule Of the rotten Democ-
racy., You would not go boldly to the
polls and vote for vallsndigham we
know? II not, will you cast your bal
lot in favor of Mr.. Hutchins, who has
never as yet, SO far as, beard from, pub
hcly repudiated any Of his reasonable
dogmas. Until be does so, are you not
risking little too much, in electing a
man to Congress whose antecedents are
not such as justify you in the belief.
that be would sustain the Government,
against his party proper. Be advised
in time. Border State Democracy has
never yet proven g very efficient ally to
the Union cause. Carlisle, Of Vir-
ginia, Wickliffe of Kentucky, VOORHEES,
of Indiana, are specimens of it. Do
you want any more such men in Con-
gress? If so vote for Hutchins. But
If you want firm, reliable. honest man,
always at his post. one OF the people,
not of the politicians, one whose inter-
est is your interest, 60 to the polls on
next Tuesday and vote for the regular
Union Candidate for Congress, H. s.
Bundy.

"Tba. ar dam draft" came o


S"That ar dam draft" came of
in GalIipolis last week with very little
excitement. Many persons had ceased
to fworry" about il, believing there
would be nothing more done. Their
ease was suddenly disturbed by inform
alton that the "Grand National Lot
terry" had been drawn, and they the
lucky drawers. Several young gentle
men, who for the past fifteen months
have Withstood all the solicitations Of
the recruiting agents, and studiously
avoided taking any part in war meet
ings or any measure calculated to save
our county from a draft, have been
made the lucky recipients Of ticket
10 Uncle Sans accidental" Others
again who have been loud in gabbling
of the odd Abolition war;" and that
"they are not going to risk their lives
to free nigger," are also among the
invited guests. These gentry are now
more than ever, convinced that "the
draft was only made to catch Demo-
crats," though before it came of, one
would have supposed from their re-
marks that none but Republicans stayed
at home. On the whole, we know Of
but one or two instances in which it
falls with peculiar hardness on account
Of family matters, but even then the
subjects of it make no complaints.
There is little doubt that in many OF
the townships the quota Of drafted men
might have been diminished, had the
citizens paid proper attention to having
their volunteers reported to the Com
missioner. 1t was impossible for him
to know anything about the number,
except as reported to him by the As
SCISSORS. In Green township the citi-
zens attended to it, and their quota was
reduced from thirty to three, yet Green
was supposed to be farther behind than
any district in the county. 1t was un-
necessary for us 10 say that the draft
was conducted with the utmost fairness,
the whole proceeding being open to all
who wished to attend and witness it,
The Commissioner, Surgeon, and Pro-
vost Marshal, spared no pains to render
strict and impartial justice to all. The
only complaints we hear are from the
"lucky fellows" who have as yet done
but little toward crushing out the rebel
-Iion--In this day, men who are most
earnest in the Union cause, and con-
scientiously active in discharging their
duties as good loyal citizens, are only
fit subjects of calumuy and detractiOn.
The drafting officers, belonging as they
do to that class, must expect to receive
their proportion Of abuse and slsnder.
The censure of these "sympsthizers"
is conclusive proof that the draft was
fairly executed. Had it operated only
on Republicans they would highly ap-
prove of it. But so it is, and must be
submitted to with as good grace as pos
sible-until the next call for "three
hundred thousand more"

CAno, Oct 8.
We can get no distinct account Of
Fridays battle at Corinth. On Sat-
urday morning Price attacked Rose
crans' right, Van Dorm and Lowell bis
left. The assault was made with great
determination. At one time our cen
ter was penetrated. snd the rebels
reached the Corinth House, near the
center Of the town. They were driven
out at the point Of the bayonet. Van
Doru led his column over the abattis on
the let up to within 6fty yards Of the
ditch. exposed all the time to @ sea-
thing FIRE Of grape and canister. He
was driven back by a charge Of the
Twenty-seventh Ohio and Eleventh
Missouri.
The battle lasted ill half past eleven,
when the rebels began to retreat toward
Hatchie river. The number killed aud
wounded on either side is not known.
The rebel loss is reported as much
larger than ours. We have between
seven hundred to one thousand prison.
ers, not including the wounded.
Gen. Hackleman was killed, Gen.
Oglesby dangerously wounded, Colo
nels Smith, Gilbert and Moore woun-
ded.
The Mobile 4 Ohio Road is not seri-
ously injured. The telegraph has been
repaired to Corinth. General Hurl-
burt marched on Saturday to the south
side Of Hatchie river with a.large force,
thus cutting of Prices retieat. Rose
Grams moved early this morning to re-
new the attack. Csnnonading was
heard to-day in the direction Of these
forces. Price is in the forks Of Hatch ie
river, between Hurlburt and Rosecrsns.

RGen. George A. Morgan reaohst

~Gen. George A. Morgan reached
Greenupsburg, KY, on the Ohio river,
last Friday, from Cumberland Gap,
with 10000 men and "a pieces of ar
tillery. The sufferings Of this brave
band of men, whilst on the retreat are
indescribabls. Gen. Morgan held the
Gap, up to the moment when starva-
tion became imminent. The Govern
ment failing to send him supplies, no
alternative remained but retreat 10 the
Ohio. He was compelled to avoid the
blue grass region. on account Of the
rebels under John Morgan, and conse-
quently supplies for bis army on the
march, were very scarce. His horses
died or gave out on the way, and the
country being stripped Of that Kind of
stock by the rebels, he was obliged to
haul bis guns with cattle. His men
were nearly naked, some in shirts and
drawers Without shoes or hats. Itis 8
burning shame that these brave men
should be thus treated when It is well
known that 100000 men are under
arms in that division. Will the gov
ernment never extend aid TO East Ten
nessee? Such Union men as are there
found. ought no. to be slaughtered as
they are by the rebels, without at least
an effort made to protect and encourage
hem. - ~ ~ -.-

EOne Of the injurious results Of
this war upon society, fores cen by
many good men, will be the insecurity
to human life, resulting mainly from
men becoming accustomed to the sight
of human blood, and the constant use
OF firearms or weapons Of death. AL
ready this result is appearing amongst
us. Two murders in open day on the
streets of our town, amid a crowd Of
citizens. the murderers walking of as
coolly as though retiring from break
fast, show how fearfully the prediction
will be verified. The practice Of SOL
diers when off duty, in loyal State.
where every private citizen is or should
be their friends, going about the streets
loaded with revolvers or bowie knives,
is in the highest degree improper, and
should be prohibited by the officers
No truly brave soldier would be on the
street in that condition. We never
knew a man Of true courage who in
civil life carried deadly weapons. 1t
may be justi6able in soldiers whilst in
the enemy's country, being thus armed,
but we cannot see the necessity of it in
Gallipolis. No true soldier would do
it. We are disposed to doubt the
bravery Of any one. who thus makes
himself "a walking arsenal to the
terror Of all good citizens. Reform is
needed.

about ten miles above Portsmouth on

She had been ordered up to Greenups-
burg by Gen. Morgan, to ferry bis

way running light when the accident
occurred. At the present stage Of low
water it is hardly safe for boat to run
in day light, and at night perilOus in
the extreme. The orders were impera-
tive and Capt. Frisbee had no alterna-
tive. He demonstrated against the dan
ger, but Of no avail, obeyed, and the
result is the loss Of the boat in spite Of
the utmost care. It is unfortunate at
