Meet1ng of LOYAL Goyernors

The lying report of the sayings and do
'ings of the loyal Governors when in Coun-
Gil in Altoona, made by the New York
Herald, has, perhaps, proved an adyan-
tage, for it has brought out facts and Incl
dents that otherwise might never have
been known to the people. The editor of
the Portland Press had an inter view with
Gov. Washburn, of Maine, on his return
from the meeting ut Altoona. and on his
authority makes the following interesting
statements:
THE issue of the Emancipation Procla-
nation at that particular juncture was
opportune, inasmuch as it is afforded OPP
p~ortunity to talk over and compare notes
upon the greatest and most important
State paper of the age. and one involving
issues and interests of the most mOmen-
tous character. The manner in which
this proclamation was received possesses
peculiar interest. The first man to break
groundin relation toitwas no radical, nc
abolitionist, no sorehead. IL was not An.
drew, or Kirkwood, or Yates; it was not the
Executive of abolition Vermont" or fla
natical Maine"-as some pro-slavery men
would perhaps style those States-but il
was David Tod, the Democratic Governor
of Ohio
II was Governor Tod WHO first made a
proposition in relation to the Proclama-
ton, and he proposed to tender congrat.
ulations to the President, and to express
the hope that as he had spoken The grea
cord, heiwould follow it by striking Asgrea
bkO,o; and to assure him that they, backed
by their respective States, were ready,
willing and anxious to help him. No man
was more prompt to second Governor
Tod's proposition than the noble hearted
Pierpoint, of Virginia. He and his PEG
pie have talked the matter over, and
knew it must come to this, and he hearth
" rejoiced that it had come"

ter volumes of fire and smoke, finging in
TO the midst of the dismsyed and stagger-
ing traitors; ten thousand projectiles,
deadly as a volley of stones shot from the
crater of Etna. After vainly endeayoring
to storm the hill, the shattered masses OF
the enemy gave way, and were pursued
by General Mitchell beyond Perryville.
And now while the 18th brigade was
still struggling gloriously, and even after
its frightful losses. was actually holding
the rebels in check. the 9th and 18th bri-
gades. both of which had borne a distin-
guished part so far, came to the rescue.
A half dozen regiments rushed up along
the crest of an eminence situated to the
left, and with loud shouts bore down upon
the enemy. Around a farm house to the
left of the 18th Brigade and in a woods in
front of it THE same under cover ofwhich
the rebels had advanced in their assault
upon JacksOn's division, the combat rag
ed with uninterrupted fury for more than
half an hour. But when the attack upon
our right was repulsed, the enemy retired
from this portion of the field.
Just abOut shutdown a last despairing
effort of the baffied foe was made upon
the right of RoEseau's division. Our line
of battle in this part of the field had nov
completely changed direction, ranging
from North to South instead of from East
to West as in the beginning of the day
A battery, which | believe was Captain
LOOMS repulsed this last assault. But
the firing of artillery continued half an
hour into the night, forming a scene aw-
fully sublime. At last its thunder ceased
as by mutual consent, and the Union army
lay down upon its arms while the rebel
hordes silently and rapidly resumed their
retreat, leaving us in possession ofthe field
of battle, and large numbers of their dead
and wounded in our hands.

Sharp Practice.

A few days since a young man living in
Trumbull county, named Theodore H.
Evans, consented to go as a substitute for
a man drafted from that county. and re-
ceived $3.50 from the drafted man. EV-
N then enlisted. refusing to take the
oath that he was over eighteen, but di-
recting the recruiting officer to put that
age ON the enlistment roll. He then
went on a bender" and managed to
squander about n hundred dollars of
the money given him. The father of Ev-
ans also CHANGED to be drafted, and yes
terday he applied to Judge Tilden for the
release OF his son, on the ground of mi
nority, he wanting the young man to re-
main at home whilst he himself went to
the war. Judge Tilden heard the evil
dence in the cnse, and on learning that
was really under eighteen, and had
to take the oath that he was over
that age, considered it his duty to dis
charge him from service.-Qsps. Herald.

Election.

The election in this town passed of
very quietly yesterday. The butternut;
had been hard at work for months, and
every ditch and doggery was dragged fol-
recruits, every false representation which
could affect a vote was made, men who
were dissatisfied on account of the draft
were told that it was an Administration
measure and urged TO vote the black Sc
cesh ticket.
The vote of this township was large
GO, being more han the average vote al
State elections. Notwithstanding the
tremendous ex~ertions of the rebel sym
pathisers, the Union majority in Warren
is 1873, The majority in the County
is about 1000.
This is less than in 'Gl, but larger than the
Republican majority in 1859. The large
majority of Republicans and Union men
among the volunteers who have gone
from this county, accounts for the falling
off in the Union majority.
The election news received from abroad
is very meagre. In Philadelphia, the
Union candidate for Mayor is elected
Pittsburg does as well. In Cleveland the
Union majority is $50. The butternuts
have carried Cincinnati, as usual; Pendle-
ton, Dem, present member from the First
District, is elected. Long, DEM, in the
Second District, probably beats Gurley.

Prolonging the War.

Daniel S. Dickinson of New York, was
a Breckenridge Democrat in 1860. He
has been a lifelong Democrat. He Is still
a true Democrat. He is, therefore, "A pow

of rebels, whom Major Bradford held ii
check near Frankfort, when Kirby
Smiths whole force approached on the
opposite side of the river and necessitated
a surrender of seventeen Federal Govern,

The enemy captured $50 of Sill's strag-
glers, whom they sent back to the train.
Among the Federals captured were
Major Bradford. Lieutenant Casiell, nth

The Federals are on half rations, and
provisions are at fabulous prices.
The rebels captured forty Federal
