lily upon its resources for years to come.
When the Confscation Bill, against which
Senator Cowan, from Pennsylvania, and
Senator Browning from Illinois, (both good
Republicans) voted and protested, andwhich
Mr.. Lincoln himself refused to sign as it
had originally passed, was introduced into
Congress, Mcpherson gave it his support,
and voted for it on its final passage.
When the present odious Tax Bill, which
revives the Stamp Act of George III, a.
gainst which our revolutionary fathers were
up in arms, was brought before Congress,
Mcpherson gave his energies and his vote
to its passage, thus advocating the enact
mcnt of law which compels you to pay
eXorbitant tribute to the Government before
you can make an article of agreement to sell
your farm, or rent house, or give or take
a promlssory note, OF do the smallest mat
ter of business in which any legal instru-
ment is necessary.
When the Crittenden resolution, avowing
the purposes of the war to be ''only the res
toration of the Union and the vindicaton of
the Constitution" were second time be-
fore Congress, Mcpherson was found, side
by side with Thaddeus Stevens and Owen
Lovejoy, voting to lay them on the table.
When the brave and heroic Mcclellan
was threatened by the Abolition cabal and
harassed and hunted down by Northern con-
spirators against the prosperity of the Gov
emment, Mcpherson was found sympathis-
ing in his votes and official acts with Chan
dler and other leaders of that infamous clique
that were pursuing Mcclellan whilst he was
fighting the enemies of his country.
And, now, when the President, by one
sweep Of his pen, undertakes to cancel the
Constitution and hurl upon the people of the
North, three millions of houseless, home
less, thrittless, ignorant negroes, and even
indirectly invokcs them to cut their masters
throats to achieve this purpose, Mcpherson
is the representative of this Presidential
proclamation and every man who supports
him at the polls, votes to endorse a policy
which will make the North dosolatcd waste
and the South a second San Domingo.
The foregoing furnishes an abundance of
reasons why / cannot vote for Mr.. McPher-
son. Personally do not object to him,
and were he still Republican, as he once
was, and not an Abolitionist, as he now con-
Fessedly is, he should still receive my sup
port. But he has gone astray, has deceiv-
cd the men who elected him, has helped by
MS votes and influence to bring defeat to
'rlr armies and ruin and disgrace to our coun-
sry, and therefore he cannot receive the vote

hcasion statement concerning the alleged meet.

having taken part, in which they completely ex-
onerated Mr. Crisman of the blame cast upon
HIM (Crisman) by that sheet But contrary to
every dictate of fairness and honor they are re.

The Democratic candidates for Congress and

BARGAIN AND SALE,

In order to obtain the support of Somerset
county, Mr., Mcpherson was compelled to give
the appointment of Collector of the Federal tax
to Edward Scull, who was presented by that
county for Congress. BY this means Mcpherson
succeeded in defeating Hon. Alex. King and Sc
curing his own nomination.

New Regiments for Gen. Sigel.

General Sigel has addressed letter to
DR.. Dulon, Of New York city, informing
him that he has received assurances from
the Secretary of War that, with the consent
of the Governors of New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin, a limited
number of regiments and batteries may be
raised in those States for the first corps,
now under Sigel's command, and that the
Department would assign such regiments to
him. The regiments to be raised are as
follows: New York three, Pennsylvania
three, and the other named States one each.
Six of these regiments may consist of Amer
leans and six of Germans--the batteries to
be composed, according to circumstances, OF
American or German born citizens--men
who have seen service and know their busi-
ness. The commanders should be military
men. General Sigel has proposed Major
Schwartz as his Chief of Artillery and
commander of the new batteries. General
Sigel appeals to the press to agitate the
matter and show the necessity of assisting
him. He says--"Every minute is more
precious than it has been during the whole
war. Let US act quickly and energetically,
and not lose moment"

How Many Times a Man Can be Shot
and Still Live.

The Milwaukee Wisconsin gives q
statement of the wounds received by private
Donovan of Company B, End Regiment
Wisconsin Volunteers, at the battle OF Bull
Run, and remarks that the man is still alive.
First-His right leg was shot through by
a rifle ball. Second-Another ball hit him
in bis left heel, glancing up along bis
ankle joint. Third-A rifle ball struck him
in his side, which still remains within him.
Fourth-He was struck in his right arm,
the ball glancing up toward his neck.
Fifth-A ball struck his right wrist, glancs
ing off from the bone. Sixth--A ball
struck him just below the left eye and went
into bis head where it still remains. The
wounds are discernible and the only ball
that troubles him is the one that entered
bis head, which occasions dizziness and dim~
ness of sight.

Day Breaking.

We see the dawn of brighter day. The
sentiment of the country, which has long
demanded the use of all the resources of the
Government for the suppression of the re.
bellion, and the vindication of the National
dignity and power, at last finds expression
in the orders of the President. An addi-
tional levy of three hundred thousand men,
to be raised by draft, is made upon the loyal
States. This, with the like levy lately
made, will swell the Army of the Republic
to the grand total of a million and this
vast force will be placed in the field within
the next sixty days. This looks like work.
1t means business. 1t is the knell that sends
Treason straight to Hell-for we may be
sure that GOD will not make mockery of
Heaven, by furnishing Judgment there for
this grossest crime against Himself and the
whole Human Race.

COnditiOn of Maryland.

The condition of affairs in Baltimore and
Maryland excites the attention of the Gov
ernment just now. The traitors increase in
Baltimore and in the slave holding counties
of the State. There is no donbt that the
legislation of Congress has made the slave
holding citizens of that State more bitterly
disloyal than ever before. For the most
part they were disloyal when the rebellion
broke out--their sympathies were with the
rebels in Virginia and the cotton states--
but they kept quiet. There is great bold
ness of late among them and the Govern
ment must nip the evil in the bud. 1t is
quite probable that severe measures will
soon be resorted to. Families speaking
openly their sympathies with the rebellion
in an offensive manner, may be compelled
to pass down within the enemy's lines and
give room for loyal people. In any event
Maryland will be compelled to be loyal,
even though she be depopulated.

The President has appointed Captains
Goldsborough, Farragut, Dupont ard Foote

Navy, under the recent act reorganizing
that branch of the service. These officers

faithful service to their country.

Failing Crops in Europe.

The crop news from Europe by the las
arrival is of uniform tenor. The cold, wet
summer has retarded vegetation to a very
serious extent. In England there will be
but half grain crop, in France the pros
poets are scarcely better, and private letters
received here from Germany report that the
incessant rains and the backwardness of the
season have ruined the fruit and stunted the
wheat. The Vienna correspondent of the
London Times furnishes the following addi-
tional evidence of the general failure

Austrian empire, as he weather is very unfa

rain in fact, this summer is one of the coolest

tria.
We have already exported large amounts
of breadstufls to Europe to supply the want
which begins to be felt, and the demand
from abroad for our supplies is likely to in
crease rapidly. There can be no war with
Europe so long as Europe must be fed from
our surplus, even were there no questions of
policy or cost to enter into the calculation
of chances. Moreover, the steady drain of
gold must be arrested by the growing call
for breadstufs, and we shall have our spe-
Gle returned to US in time.

With the officers appointed for Fillmore
and Winona counties, Judge MARSH and
Mr.. DRIVER, we are not so well acquainted.
They are, however, we learn, already at
work recruiting, and are worthy of the ap-
pointments given them.
The Office of Adjutant is to be filed, IN.
til the organization of the regiment, by
JOHN K. ARNOLD of Wabashaw, q private
of Company G, of the Third Regiment.
Mr.. ARNOLD has been since last fall engaged
in the Office of General BUELL. at Nashville,
and has acquired great familiarity with
staff duties. He returns to the State en-
dorsed by the warmest concentrations of
his superior officers. The fact that Mr..
ARNOLD was employed at Nashville, in the
Office of the department Of the Ohio, at the
time of the surrender of the Third, saved
him from the fate of his comrades.
These officers have the right to act as
United States recruiting officers. They
will proceed at once to ill up their c0mpa
MES. Let every assistance be given them
by the people. The honor OF Minnesota
requires that our quota of the 3OO 900 vol
unteers should be raised, if possible, by vol
unteering. tits the interest Of euery recruit
Mat he should enter as q volunteer, rather
than by drcfting.
We have no doubt that the mere fact of
an impending draft will increase the dispo-
sition to volunteer among the people.
The order given by the Adjutant Gen.
eral, directing the Lleutenants appointed to
give furloughs until the 18th inst, will en-
able many who are disposed to 60, to enter
the ranks and take the oath, and return to
complete their harvesting.
