n tIo Citizens of PoDlerou.


Feeling under deep and never to :
be be-forgotten obligations for the kind
ness, sympathy, and never-tiring atten-
ton which have been bestowed on the
sick and wounded while here, the un-
dersigned takes this opportunity of re-
turning his sincere and heartfelt thanks
for the many delicacies he has, from time
to time, received from the generous and
patriotic citizens Of Pomeroy for his
wounded coDlrade; and under existing
circumstances, viz: my wounded com
rade lying in critical situation, not yet
being out of danger, and as "repose and
quietness" are the medicines now want
ing to restore him to his parents and
home, and as every noise disturbs his
quietude, [ would humbly and respect
fully request the citizens of Pomeroy to
discontinue, for few days, diseharging
Firearms in the vicinity of Mr.. H. B
Smiths residence; by so doing they will
add one moreto the many kindnesses
that have been bestowed on a wounded
soldier. ZOUAVE.

It Hurts Them,

Nothing has ever yet hurt the South
ern traitors like Lincoln's Emancipation
Proclamation. In it they see the doom
of their conspiracy. They still look
with faint hope to their allies in the
North, but the second proclamation Or
dering the arrest Of all such, as soon as
the first open act Of treason is commit
ted, and suspending the writ of haJeas
corpus in their cases, knocks the foun-
dation from that expectation.
The Southern papers fairly howl over
the proclamation. Their impotent rage
is ludicrous. The partisan press in the
North, too, is in commissions. The fond
delusion Of restoring the "Democratic
party to power, with Jeff. Davis and
his crew at the head of the Government,
seems to be forsaking them, and they
Join the Southern rebels in their un-
earthly shrieks.
1t won't win, gentlemen secesh, and
you may as well take it as coolly as you
can. The loyal heart of the countr y
has answered to the bugle sound of the
President, and has sworn upon the altar
of patriotism that the foul and bloody
schemes of the traitors shall be sup
pressed and the chief conspirators
brought to just punishment for thei1
crimes The resolve is fixed and the
execution of the righteous sentence sure
The open traitors may rage, and their
secret aiders imagine a vain thing, but
the word has gone forth, and will moi
return void, but will accomplish thai
whereunto it was sent.

Remember,

When you go to the polls on Tuesday
next, that you are called upon to exer-
else the most important trust ever con-
fded to men on earth. The man who
will let party pride: or petty prejudice.
or personal feeling, or private interest,
control his vote, does wrong to his
posterity, his country, and the world, for
which a life of repentance can never at
tone. Consider we'll, and act as honest
patriotism demands.

Robert Highland, Esq, of this Town
ship, left at our Office this week, bas-
.ketful of Neshannock Potatoes, which,
Cor size and seundness, we believe, can
not be excelled in the county. His
made of planting is to pillow the ground
and furrow it out as customarily, and
cover the seed with three or four inches
of earth; after which he covers the
ground with from twelve to fifteen
inches of straw. He raised, this season,

FIRST DISPATCH.

October 5, 8 y. NJ.
To MJior- General Hallech::
Yesterday the rebels under Price,
Van Dorm and Lowell were repulsed from
their attack upon Corinth, with the
greatest slaughter.
The enemy are in full retreat, leaving
their dead and wounded on the tield.-
Rosecrans telegraphed that the loss is
serious on our side, particularly in otfl-
GERS, but bears no comparison with that
of the enemy.
General Hackelman fell while gallant
ly leading his brigade. General Ogles-
by is dangerously wounded.
General Mcpherson, with his com
mand, reached Corinth yesterday.
Generl Rosecrans pursued the retreat
ing enemy this morning, and should they
attempt to move toward Bolivar he will
follow in pursuit.
General Hulbut is at Hatchie river

SECOND DISPATCH.
GRANTS HEADQUARTERS,
JACKSON Tenn Oct <
Major- General II. W. Halleck:
Gen. Ord, who followed Gen. HUI
but, met the enemy on the south side Of
the Hatchie, as L understand from
dispatch, and drove them across the
stream, and got possession of the nights
with our troops. Gen. Ord took two
batteries and about 500 prisoners.
A large portion of Gen. Rosecrans'
force was at Chevalli AT this distance
everything looks most favorable, and I
cannot see how the enemy are to escape
without losing everything but their
small arms [ have strained everything
to take into the fight an adequate force,
and to get them to the right place.

why the Use ofPOstage Stamps for Cur
rency is Forbidden

why the Use of Postage Stamps for Cur
rency is Forbidden.
The Cincinnati Gazette says: As
there is a misar prehension in regard to
the action Of the Post office Department
in forbidding the use Of postage stamps
as currency, we print below letter of
explanation from the Third Assistant
Postmaster G General, received by Post
master Baum:
PcsroFF1cE DEPT, FINANCE oFFIoE, |
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.
SIR: The recent demand by the pub
lie for postage stamps, under an erro-
neous impression with regard to the
law authorizing the issue of 'postage
currency" has entirely exhausted the
surplus stock, and the Department is
now dependent upon the daily manu-
facture to meet the requisition of Post
masters. Sales of stamps must, there
fore, be restricted to such as may be
needed by the public for the prepay
ment of postage, the ordinary demand
at any office being the guide.
And inasmuch as the unadvised use
of postage stamps as circulating me-
diuxl has Solled or detaced them IN 4
greater or less degree, and evil persons
taking advantage of that circumstance,
have put into circulation stamps which
have evidently been used in prepayment
of postage, every postmaster is in
structed to treat as anpaid any letter
placed IN Postofflce for mailing, which
may be covered with a stamp at all
soled or detaced, or which has appar-
emily been used in payment of postage.
Such letters will he sent at once to the
Dead Letter Office.
This Department has repeatedly, by
special letters and official announcement
declared its opposition to the sale and
use of postage stamps for currency, fore
seeing the results of such course on
the part of the public.
Respectfully yours,
A n ZEvELY,
Third Assist Postmaster General

A Knotty Question.

The Baltimore American in long edito-
rial in regard to Southern affairs, says:
And now the question arises: How
long will the people of the United States
the people of both sections--stand their
present sufferings in conflict: with each
other? Unless something is done soon to
retrieve our cause is there not danger that
the patience of all may give way, and that
out of want of success may come anarchy
and Reconstruction" such as that fore.
Swallowed so long ago in the Rebel de.
bates at Montgomery, and now once more
in this programme which turns up at
Charleston? Out of such condition of
things as is threatened here-however re-
motely-did not the world see France
emerge in the grasp of military Dicta-
torship? and, after what has occurred
within the past eighteen months, should
we be too greatly surprised at anything?
Do we not know that there is in the 10y.
al States faction which would exult at
any new revolution which would restore
than to power on something like the
old basis? and is it not the duty of the
Government to consider the possible
danger Of permitting longer delays, such
as have already redounded to the advan-
tages of traitors both within and without
its lines? Having lost the Union party
of the South, is not the Union party of
the North also in danger? is the question
which should come home with power to
nil. .

Another. Counterfeit.

The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle notices
new counterfeit bill Of the green colored
issue of September I'd. The engraving
of the counterfeit is inferior to the genu-
ine-the portrait of Mr.. Meminger in
the centre being badly done. All the
genuine are lettered H in two places
the counterfeit has the once. The
words "For Treasurer" following the
signature in the genuine. are left out of
the counterfeit. The fves in the circles
on the left hand of the genuine are omit.
ed in the spurious, and whenever they ap.
pear in the latter are coarser than in the
genuine. The engraver's name does moi
appear on the counterfeit. There are
many other points of difference, but the
above are sufficient to put the communi
ty on their guard.
