..Hard up for a Reason,

Under this head the Bangor Times flies into
aspasm because we suggested as one of sew
eral reasons for the changed vote in this part
OF the State, that large proportions of the men
who had gone to the war were republicans.
We made the suggestion, not from any such
motives as the Times intimates, yet we assert
its correctness. We do not intimate-we would
no.-that the democratic masses are any less
patriotic than the masses ofthe republican par
ty; but We know that in some towns in this
county and Oxford and in many in York.
certain influential democrats have done all
they could TO discourage volunteering. and in
some instances, under their lead, towns have
voted bounties, not to volunteers but to draft
ed men,.
or course the influence of such men-men at
heart opposed to the war-was to prevent vol
untecring among those whom they could con-
trol--ther own political friends-while they
could have no influence upon those opposed 10
them. Volunteers were TO be called from the
State before election; drafted men would be
at home at election. In Franklin County. we
are told, the Democrats have actually furnish
ed majority of the volunteers. That county
has been less under such influences as we have
referred to. SO Of Penobscot. But where
leaders have denounced the war as unholy,and
have insisted upon compromise and conces-
sion, why should they not oppose volunteer
ing,and use their influence to keep their friends
from the war? We are not behind our Bangor
contemporary in party or in political abnega-
ton in this hour of peril, but we cannot close
our eyes to facts, nor shall he try to do so.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. !

failing back from Cincinnati.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. H.
The Press of this city has received dis
patch from Nashville, 9Th, saving that the
whole of Buells army is fastening to the sup
port of the city, which is now menaced by
Bragg.
The city is being fortified. Gen. Thomas
will be placed in command with orders TO de-
fend the city at all hazards
Before this reaches you the fate of Nashville
will doubtless have been decided. An advance
of four regiments and $4,000 men under Gen.
Buell. are here to tender their respects TO Gen.
Kirby Smiths rear. Gen. Bragg will not
catch US mapping.
BALTIMORE, Sept. Is.
The police made an important capture last
night at the house of Dr. Williamson, miles
from this city, on the Hookerstown road
Having received information that some rebel
officers from the invading army were being
feted by their friends, the police proceeded
thither and surrounded the house, and whilst
those within were having jolly good tme
bagged the whole party, as follows: Captain
Henry Gilmer, Stuart's cavalry, Grafton d.
Carlisle and Lieut.. Baine. These men were
disguised in citizens dress. The police seized
DIR. Williamson, their entertainer, and several
gentleman friends. The whole party were
brought to this city, and are now in close con-
iinement. These rebel officers belong to this
city. 1t is thought they WILL as they justly
should, meet the fate of spies.
Ii has been discovered that Lee and Jackson
had crossed the Potomac, near Martinsburg.-
The whole rebel force is retreating across the
Potomac.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 13.
The rebel army has fallen back beyond Flor
enee. Prisoners say the enemy retreated be-
cause he heard of Gen. Buell's presence in
Kentucky, and had not heard from Bragg
Our scouts late last night report the enemy
retreating in confusion.

The New Orleans Delta of August 10Th,
thus summarily dsposes of this question::
We wish we could remove one fallacy from
the Northern mind, and that is the fallacy that
labor performed by negroes on the plantations
OF the South cannot be done by white men,
We say il can; and it can be done cheaper and
better: Intelligent and independent Southern
ers will admit this. Why, the white farmers
of the West, in their harvesting season, work
and are happy and healthy, under sun quite
as oppressive as that of this latitude. The
hod-carriers of the North, with no wool TO
shield theirheads work as no negro could work,
in sun quite as broing rs anything expert
eneed in rice field or cane brake. We
throw these assertions out for the examination
OF the philosopher and the statesman. And we
VIII anticipate events SO far as to say that
sugar plantation will be worked in this State
by white men before the year is out.
Don't, then, believe those who tell you that
white man can't do what a negro can. He
can do all that a negro can do, in the way of
iaboring in the sun, and ever-so-rnuch more.

complains OF the federal ollce-holders in this
city, because they did not make more stir to
secure different result in the Congressional
vote Of the district. If they had made them
selves conspicuous in that direction the same
writer, or some other in the same paper, would
doubtless have accused them of prostituting
their official influence, and of attempting TO
control the will of the people; and INDUCED
in any amount of dissertations upon the dan
gers to Republican freedom, resulting from Of
ilce-holders interfering with the elective fran
chise. We have an impression that the Ad-
vertiserof other days has demonstrated strong
ly against "Custom House influence" &c, &c.
and we, who have lived in country villages.
have supposed that TO District, County, and
Town Committees, was the duty assigned to
keep up the organization of the party"

has been subjected to very severe test,
which It WiLhstood in most satisfactory
manner. THIS Safe, containing all my books
together with va.ulble papers belonging to
myself and some to my neighbors and friends,
and rcpreseting a valle of over Twenty Thous-
and Dollars, (S20,000) was in my Mill which
was destroyed on the night of the 27th of Ju-
ly, 1860, and passed through the fiery ordeal
unScathed. The Safe was on the second floor
and fell to the basement of the Mill, and was
subjected for six hours to an intense heat
among the ruiIs, which was greatly increased
by the combustion of large quantity of grain
confined within the brick walls After the
fire the safe was opened and the books and
papers taken out in a state of perfect preser-
yation, the paper not even being diScolored.
This fact was, however, to many bystanders
a better recommendation of your Safes than
could be expressed in any other words from
