GEN scorT,s LETTER.


We ask an attentive perusal of an i'm
portant letter from Gen Scott, published
in to-days paper. 1t shows in clearer
and palmer light than ever before, the
Infamous treason that filled the heart of
the old scoundrel James Buchanan, who
while occupying the Presidential chair
destroyed the Union and sold his country
to secession and rebellion.
BRING THE TROOPS HOME To VOTE
The editor of the Gazette says;
:" If all we can learn from the Delaware
soldiers now in the field be true they
would poll heavy majority against the
mongrel Abolition ticket, on which Mr.
Fishers name stands"
Now We are decidedly in favor ofbring-
ing the troops home to vote, or else so
arranging matters as that they may be
legally entitled to cast their ballots in
camp for whichever ticket they please.
II. as the secession editor of the Gazette
says, they will vote against Mr.. Fisher,
OF course loeofocoism can have no posi-
bile objection to giving them the privilege
of doing so, and We would have to be
satisfied with the result. But we are moi
yet ready TO believe that the men who
willingly volunteered to defend theil
country with their lives, are silly enough
to aid, abet and encourage by their bal
lots the vile and wicked rebellion they ar,
now freely pouring out their patrioti,
blood to destroy and subdue on the liel,
of battle Nobody but sympathisn!
traitor would offer such an atrocious in
suit to our brave volunteers. They vot
the ticket of treason and disunion indeed
Let them speak for themselves througl
the ballot-box and they will triumphant,
yindicate their loyalty aud patriotism
from the abominable slander. We trus
that the Government may show them al
opportunity TO vote

Smyrna times., 1862-11-06

IN the District east of Colfax's, Mitchell
who was elected two years ago by 1855
majority, is now defeated by 1000. The
reason is simply the absence of 1000 Union
voters in the army, 5000 of whom would
vote for him if allowed to exercise the cleo
tive franchise. Several other Districts are
lost III the same way. The ardent, bold.
and patriotic Union men volunteered to fight
Tor their country, while the tories, sneaks,
and towards all stayed home to vote down
the friends of the soldiers and the sunnort-
ers Of the Government. We submit for
the grave consideration of the public.

be smothered. this fall at the ballot hoy j.?
Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota, allow their
soldiers to vote. But Ohio, Indiana, Hi

not These States have in the field 35O.-
600 voters, and not less than 100000 of
whow would vote the straight Union ticket
if not deprived Of their franchise. Their
votes would elect an almost solid Union
delegation to Congress from all the States
named.
The result in Pennsylvania develops the
same fact. Tile Potts,Tlle (Iu } Joumi saws.

The Republicans have gone to the war, and
the Democrats have stayed home to grasp
the offices, and betray our soldiers. The

MiIItarY at the PnIla.

Gen. Wool landed at Seaford on Monday
last with body of infantry and cavalry. to
guard the polls on election Tuesday
TO secure a fair and peaceable election
They were detached in squads of forty or
hfty to the various voting places in Kent
and Sussex counties, where they were need
ed. This is novelty in our State, but
made necessary by the violence of the Sc
cesSlon synPathizers at the Inspectors cleo
ton, when, where they had a large prepon-
derancc Of voters, such was the pressure
that the feeble and the timid were in MANY
instances intimidated from going to the
polls. The change between Tuesday last
and the previous election was most percept-
lDle-the window being accessible on the
latter day at all times. The soldiers inter
tered Ill no way with the voting, being on
the opposite side of the street, but their
presence seems to have have had the effect
at least to prevent discord at the window.
Of course the sympathizers were mad.
"iiu SIulhDled aC the presence of Uncle Sans
soldiers; pronounced it unconstitutional.
Everything seems to be unconstitutional
with them that preserves order and protects
Union men) and breathcd bitter curses on the
men who chad these men from New York
brought here to control our election"
They protected both parties alike, and
gave us peaceable election, but that did
not appear to appease their murmurings,
Notwithstanding it was an advantage to
them, they say, Of thirty or forty votes.
The soldiers were from the 9th n. York
artillery, under command of Capt. Webster
Smith, and were as well deported set of
men as ever shOuldered musket

a HEAD NEAR BuLLEF.-0n Tuesday
afternoon the Democrats got soldier ofthe
18th Delaware under the influence of liquor,
and whilst in this condition attempted to
vote hlm. His comrades and friends know
ing he wanted to vote Union ticket, inter-
cepted him; scuffie ensued, during which
Che having his mqsket in his hands) his gun
was fired, the ball passing through the side
OF our office, thence through the ceiling and
roof, making quite shower of dust and
grit about our head, as we were standing
within two feet of the place where the ball
went through. This was nearer than we
ever were before to a discharged bullet, a
proximity not pleasant to contemplate, es-
pecially at this distance from the battlefield
