A Grand Mistake.

The Mercury was SO busy day times in
printing lying secret circulars, and nights
in watching for Black Knights, that they
forgot what Congressional District Martin
was running in, and printed the tickets for
the FIRST DISTRICT, and polled some
1900 ofthem. We hardly think Martin will
have enough votes in the balance Of the 4th
District to spare that many. He is pretty
sure not to have received enough with them
to beat Grinnell, that awful Abolitionist-
Perhaps they thought so and were disposed
to give Hornish lift. He decided it badly
enough, anyhow.

MIG! Mig! Nie,.

A person would be inclined to think tina,
the ISSUE Of the recent election would have
been some or all the questions growing oui
ofthe present rebellion, such as the policy
Of conducting the war, and so on. But no,
q bit of it. 1t turned on the Mig. This DO.
tent word was the rallying cry of the Irish,
and the votes of that class, who, judging by
this part of the country. have furnished few
for the army, have been polled soldly against
US. In every locality where this element is
strong we find the democratic vote or ma
jority large in proportion.
Think Of it, you who profess to believe in
the capacity of man for government
Think of a class Of people constituting so
large fraction Of our population, influenced
in their votes, which will effect the desti,
mics Of a great nation, for all time, by the
most absurd and ridiculous stories, such as
chat 1000 niggers were on the way to Bur-
lisgten, and would arrive in day or two,
circulated for political effect on the eve of
the election!

man who arrived there on Saturday from
Richmond, that there are at least 200, 900
rebel soldiers between Gordonsyille and
Winchester. s
The railroad bridges between Staunton
and Winchester are not rebuilt, and much
embarrassment results to the rebels in the
transportation of artillery and supplies.

| seat myself as twilight is shading into
night to write few lines to you and your
readers. I received a copy Of the Courier
about week ago. 1t is ever welcome
guest, and has my best wishes for its future
success and prosperity. A copy Of the Mer-
curry was also received about week
ago by q member ofour company. It con-
tains an article in relation to myself, in which
the editor, after copying portion Of my
letter, very generously remarks: "We clip
the above beautiful specimen from a letter in
the last Courier, signed s. X. We do not
notice it for the purpose of taking any no.
tice of the writer, for he does not deserve
it." Allow me to assure the editors of the
Mercury that whether am deserving of no
tice from such a 81 URGE or not, place such
value upon my reputation that invariably
close my nostrils when see the Mercury,
for it has the odor of the gutter.
The Mercury and other papers its like has
done more injury to our cause than anything
know of. When we were advancing on
Corinth, we would frequently pick up a
southern paper, left, I suppose, by the rebel
pickets, and the columns were crowded with
extracts from the Chicego Times and other
milk -and-water sheets. They were exulting
over their prospects--that now they had a
class of men in the north who sympathized
with them. would say to the editor of
the Mercury that have been in the service
Of the United States army for over sixteen
months; that have helped to guard the
property Of rebels who were in arms against
us; have seen our soldiers punished for
taking some corn or fruit from the planta-
ton Of the traitor; we have pursued ten
der-toed policy for fifteen months every ACT
of ours towards the rebels have been tenn
pered with mercy, and with all this we can
not conciliate rebel, except we adopt the
policy of the Mercury, which would make
us rebels ALSO
Mr.. Editor, a rebel has no rights. The
government onght to respect the laws of all
nations, but should put treason at the head
of all crimes, and in every instance make it
punishable with DEATH The bad and des-
perate leaders of this rebellion, followed by
the infatuated masses, are the vandals of
their own country. They alone are to blame
for the desolation and ruin their have bro't
to their oacM homes.
The Emancipation Proclamation by Abe
Lincoln is a military necessity. The cogs
of our national wheel need cleansing, and
he is the Hercules to whom we have assign
ed the mighty task.
Hoping that the sun will continue to rise
and set, and the stars keep on in their true
course notwithstanding the wise sayings of
the Mercury, am Mr.. Editor,

LOUISVILLE, Oct. 15.-There was Skin
mishing all day yesterday along the line
from Harrodsburg to STANFORD The rebels
are trying to get out of the State. 1t is
thought Bragg hurried because on the day
Of the Perryyille battle, he heard that Price
and Van Dorm had been beaten at Corinth,
and he could not get reinlorcements from
that quarter.
Large numbers Of rebel dead are still un-
buried. A rebel detachment came to the
field, saw their dead, and left them without
attention.
The guns which the rebels took from us
and which We recovered, were spiked with
telegraph wire which we easily removed.
