STILL ANOTHER RENEGRADE" DEM
oCRAT Our semi-secession journals in this
State will without doubt now denounce Gen.
Mcclellan as having gone over to the "nig-
gers" At all events he has requested that
the niggers may come to him. A few days
since he made application to the War De-
partment for detachment of the negroes in
Gen. Burnsides Division, to be employed on
his front. 1t was responded to, and there
are said to be several thousand c6ntrdJdnds
now laboring in the trenches about Harrison's
Landing, relieving our over. worked soldiers
from that hard duty. Mcclellan must look
out. His pro-slavery Democratic admirers,
1--WE never thought he admired them mucb,)
will discard him unless he drives those ne
eroes away from his lines, and over to the
enemy, to wUIh On their trenches. What
right has he to take the spade out of the
hands of our white boys, and put it into the
hands Of piece of sacred rebel '' property ~
Mcclellan has killed him self with the seces-
sion sympathizers

Letter from, Newport News.
ON BOARD THE SCHOONER SCOUT,
NEWPORT NEMH. VA Iuly l,

To the Editor of the Herald.
/ find myself with Burnside's troops at
this delightful place, Newport News. 1t
is most certainly a splendid camping
ground. We found on our arrival here
but one company of cavalry and the 7th
Massachusetts Battery; but the hospitals
are being filled up with the sick and
wounded from Richmond. They have
good accommodations for the sick and
wounded--better than any general hospi-
tai that was ever in, and | have been in
good many here in the South. Our
regimental hospital is on this ship (the
Scout,) transport belonging to the gov
ernment.
The stream here is filled with shipping.
have counted some three hundred yes
sells Of all kinds. We are to be reinforced
from Annapolis, with - thousand SOL
diers, that will make Burnside's division
amount to some - thousand troops,
and ghe could get the President to say,
March your men into Richmond, he sooatd
start at once. He has good Brigadier
Generals. Gen. Reno of our Brigade is
man of determination. / was pleased
to hear the remarks that Gen. Reno made
at Camden, N. c., when our forces went
there. The 57th Penn. Regiment were
thrown out as skirmishers by order of
their Colonel. When Reno came up, he
asked the Pennsylvania Colonel where
his regiment was. The reply was, that
he had thrown them out as skirmishers.
Reno's answer was, Skirmishers be

Col. Clark of our regiment, (the 21st

crowd p and they did, with will, driv-
ing them like chaff before the wind. I
verify believe that Gen. Reno had rather
90 into battle than to sit down to good
dish of oysters.
We have had some of the hottest wea-
ther here at this place that / ever ex-
perienced in the North or South. and |
was in Maryland the hottest months of
last year.
The steamers are moving around in a
very mysterious manner to-day some
going up the James River, some moving
out towards Fortress Monroe, some COM
ing from up the James River and from
the Fort. Those from the Fort are load
ed with something that looks very much
like hard tack, SO called by the men, in
stead of calling it by its proper name,
(pilot bread) others are loaded with
I" salt horse" or more properly, salt beef.
| have got small piece Of the old ship
Cumberland that was sunk by the Merri-
mack; also piece of wood from the
Congress. Our boys amuse themselves
by making rings from these pieces Of
wood. They make some splendid rings
J from bones which come out of the beef
! but l must close by saying that I hope
soon to be in Richmond.
Yours truly, E. r. r.

SMALL CHANGE.-The New York Even

SMALL CHANGE.-The New York Even
ing Post says:
The present scarcity is but temporary. It
is the result of the recent alarm, and will
pass away as quickly as it arose, as soon as
the country discovers that the check before
Richmond is nothing but check, and that
the enemy has not only not imperrilled our
success, but has not even gained any advan-
tage, except momentary encouragement
and respite.
The best cure for the small change diff
culties is active operations against the enemy,
The first victony we gain will bring out the
silver; and small notes and shinplasters y
would only pot silver aside effectually.

No MORE VIIToRs.-A correspondent
of the EXPIRES, writing from Fortress Mon
roe, under date of July 10th, says:"Yes-
terday, Gen. Dix received orders even
stricter than before, relative to civilians,
for on no account must any one be per-
mitted to pass up the James River, unless
he belongs TO the army. The correspon-
dents are included, of course, and all
their efforts to get of, have proved una

al DoN'T SEE IT."-Lord Nelson was un-
doubtedly the author of this slang phrase.
At the celebrated naval battle of Copenha-
gen Nelson, who was determined to continue
the fight, but whose attention had been called
to signal ofthe G. emmanding officer to cease
hostihiies, placed his hand over bis good eye
and pretending to look with the blind one
said a don't see it," and at once ordered .
brisk renewal Of the engagement.

There are rumors here that mutiny had
broken out among the rebel prisoners at Fort
Delaware, numbering three thousand, and
that twenty five of them were shot before It
could be quelled.

Gen. COf'otR.

We have the most gratifying intelligence
from other portions of the district concern
ing the prospects for the election Of our
nominee for Congress, Gen. Coffroth. Not
withstanding the malignant attacks made
upon him by his enemies Gor every positive
man must have enemies) we know that his
personal popularity throughout the district,
will gain him many votes. He has not can
vassed among the people, because he relies
for success upon the good sense of the mas
ses, who know the principles he represents;
nor does he think it proper to go about the
country, denouncing men who do not believe
in his political doctrines, (as does his com
petitor) but prefers to let the people render
their verdict according to the dictates of
principle rather than of prejudice and pas
SION. Let the conservative element rally
around HIM and his election IL certain.

.Egdge Noble.

We ask the people of all parties who
know Judge Noble personally to do him no
more than justice when they come to make
up their minds as to voting for'or against
him. Is there candid, fair-minded man
who is acquainted with Judge Noble, that
can refuse to take into consideration the un-
impeachable integrity and sterling worth of
this excellent man, when he comes to make
up his ballot2 Is not Judge Noble the very
man needed in the State Senate to counter
act the corruptions and frauds of the Nc
Clures, and the pimps of Cameron? "Hon-
esty is the best policy" for States as well
as for individuals, and Joseph B. Mobiles
life is an exemplfcation of the proverb.

HOW IT CAN BE DONE.

The feeling among all parties in this coun-
ty, is decidedly in opposition to the Abol-
tion proclamation of the President. We
have been asked how an expression of opin-
ion concerning this proclamation can be OBJ
tanned, so as to bring a remonstrance before
the eyes of the President, and if possible,
bring. such an influence to bear upon him as
would induce him to recall it. We doubt
not that the election of majority of Dem
ocratic Congressman in this State, would
have this effect. Therefore, let every man
who opposes the proclamation of the Pres
ident to free the slaves, make the Congress-
man the issue, and vote accordingly.

THE TAX AND THE DRAFT,

The Abolitionists tell us that this is s'no
time for party" and yet they are sacrificing
tho beet interests of the country TO the ne
cessities of their party. The Federal Ad-
ministration, two months and a half apo.
ordered draft to be made for militia to sus-
tain the Government and put down the re-
bellion. This draft, the Administration told
us, was positively necessary to save the
country. And yet, for fear that the Aboli-
ton party would lose votes byit, this draft
so necessary to the future existence of the
nation, has been postponed until Just two
days after the election. The same policy
has been pursued in regard to the assess
ment and collection of the direct tax. But
remember that the draft will come and the
tax will be collected after the election.

TRUE REPUBLICAN,.
Bedford, October Z, 1862.

sSrCapt. II. c. Reamer, with a portion of
the Bedford Cavalry Co., left few days since
for Harrisburg. We understand that he arrived
safely at Camp Curtin on Saturday morning,
They Immediately set to work to pitch their
tents, and in a few hours had drawn their cloth
ing, blankets, rations, &C., and were fixed com
tortably, and exhibited excellent spirits.
Another portion of the company will leave
for camp in few days. A few more good men
are wanted for this company.
We can safely say to all persons who desire
to enter the service, that they cannot do better
than to join this company. The captain and
men are all good brave and kind men,
Boarding and transportation will be furnish
ed at once, on application to Capt. Reamer's

McPherson's Record.

When the Crittenden Compromise and
other measures intended for the paciication
of the country, prior to the breaking out of
the war, were before Congress, Edward Nc
Pherson VOTED AGAINST THEIR
ADOPTION, and thus assisted in forcing
upon the people the bloody issue of CIVIL
WAR.
When the Committee raised by Congress
to investigate the fraud and corruption in
Government contracts, was about discharg-
ing its duty, Mcpherson voted and labored
to hamper the operations of the committee,
and did all in his power to screen the scoun-
drels who were engaged in defrauding the
people, the soldiery and the Government
with the most gigantic and monstrous swim
dies.
When the Cameron investigating COM
mttee made its report and when vote of
censurc upon that arch-corruptionist, was
recommended by that committee, McPher
son voted to sustain and endorse Cameron
in his fragrant maladministraiion of the af-
fairs of his office.
When the bill to abolish slavery in the
District of Columbia, was before Congress,
Mcpherson joined hands with Thaddeus
Stevens, BENZ. f. Wade and the balance of
the Abolition crew, and helped to pass that
bill, giving his voice and his vote for it in
every stage of its passage, thus compelling
the people Of the North to pay three hun
dred dollars per head for every slave within
the limits of that District, and entailing a
debt upon the country which will press heav-

CAMP SoMwALT, Sept. q, '62.
Mr.. EDlToR;--
Having bound myself in the service Of
the u. s., and having to go wherever | am
called, and,' therefore, not getting much news
from home, desire to subscribe for your noble
sheet (the Gaeette,) for this purpose AS sec
some of my fellow soldiers have been circula-
ting their eloquence through that sinking con-
Germ (the lnquirer,) l feel disposed to give you
few words for publication also. After leaving
Bloody Run, on the 26th of August, 1862, we
were everywhere greeted by cheers, the waving
of handkerchiefs and colors, until we landed at
Camp Simmons, near Harrisburg, where we ar
rived the next day at two o'clock, A. NJ. and
struck our tents, drew rations and dned for the
first time after leaving Hopewell, where we took
supper at O'Clock, p. NJ, the evening previous.
After remaining in camp until the next day,
we were sworn into the service Of the u. S.
for three years or during the war. The day
following we received our arms, dress coats
pants, shoes, socks and caps, when we were or
dered OFT III such haste that we did not get time
to change clothes. We took our seats on the
b. & O. r. II. and landed at Baltimore about
II O'Clock at night, where we took supper and
were shipped nine miles below Baltimore, to the
Relay house Then we were marched l mile
from the station and encamped.
After remaining there about one week, we
were marched back near the Relay house and
encamped on somewhat of knoll near Fort
Dix, where we now remain. The country here
is in a bad condition. No prospect of any crops
next season, no appearance of any this last, ex-

The Line Is Dramnl

Remember that every man on the Democrat
ic ticket is opposed to the Abolition proclamation
of President Lincoln, whilst every man on the
Administration ticket is committed in favor of
1t, until he comes out and publicly repudiates
it. MCPHERSON IS IN FAVOR OF LIN
COINS ABOLITION PROCLAMATION
and he dares not to deny it The line is drawn !
You must either vote the Democratic ticket, or
vote to endorse the freeing of the Nigges! You
must either be an Abolitionist or Democrat
Which will you do and which will YOU be!

THE Secret!

We have been led to wonder why the
Abolitionists pursue Andrew Crisman with
such bloodhound ferocity, and don't attack
other members of the Democratic ticket. A
friend has suggested this as the reason of
their violence against Mr.. Crisman, viz:
Some of them have subscribed large sums
to the volunteer bounty and want a good
natured, easy fellow, like Mr.. Finls,in the
Commissioners office, whom they can con-
troll so as to get him to vote for the assump-
ton by the county of their own indebted
ness to the volunteers. We have no doubt
that this is the correct reason for their ma
lignity toward Andy.
