Host Atrocions Murder.

Our city was alarmed late on Friday
evening by the announcement that girl
between five and six years o. age, named
Mary Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. Eman-
uel German, was missing and had been
seen in company with a man wearing a
soldier cap, and dressed like discharged
soldier. The child was seen with this man
at about five O'Clock, on Friday evening,
going up Second street, hence up Locust to
Third, and up Third across the Capital
ground. Here all trace was lost of them
and many rumors were circulated regarding
the absence of the child Yesterday fore
noon, however, two colored boys, who were
crossing General Forster's meadow directly
in front Of the cemetery, discovered right
at the edge, in a regular swamp, the re-
mains of little Mary. These colored boys
went at once to give The alarm, and word
was Immediately sent to Mr.. German, in
forming him of the discovery, and request
ing that he should proceed to the spot, for
the purpose of Identifying the remains.
Mr.. German arrived Immediately after
his notification, and our pen fails US to des-
cribe the scene. There was his innocent
little girl, the hope and happiness of its
parents, murdered in the most brutal man
ner, and that without the least apparent mo-
tive for the feIdish deed A coroner's ju-
ry was at once empanneled by Alderman
Kline. DIR. Roberts was present, who up
on examination, discovered that the child
had been shot directly through the throat,
the ball entering on the right side of the
neck, passing directly through the jugular
vein and carrying away the left portion of
the neck almost completely with it. The
child was lying on its face, with bruise
about the size of Spanish dollar directly
on its forehead, which might have boen
received in the fall, and the right arm
showed the imprints of hand, as if it had
been held firmly with one hand whilst with
the other the fatal shot was given, when the
child was standing directly before the brute
who committed the murder. The clothing
of the child was somewhat torn and disar-
ranged, but after close examination of
the body, no signs of an attempt at rape
could be discovered. A reward Of $500
has been offered for his apprehension.

From the North American of Oct. Sd.
Domestic Treason.

Z. w. Hughes, it seems in 1861 drew
up resolution to precipitate Pennsylvania
into the rebellion. It was so monstrous a
proposition that, when its author read it to
various members Of the Democratic State
Convention, to which it was to be presen-
ted, they we're aghast at his treason, and in
the resolution committee Of that convention
one man, at least, threatened to throw him
and his resolution out of the window if he
dared to offer it. In fact, the indignation
was then so great that Hughes deemed il
prudent to withhold it. But, nevertheless
the matter got bruited abroad, and, being
now well proven against him, he unblush
ingly avows it over his own signature
This man is not only the Chairman of
the Democratic State Central Committee,
but he is the most prominent candidate for
the Democratic nomination to the U. s.
Senate, in case his party should carry the
majority Of the Legislature. This is his
platform; ''Ihe secession of Pennsylvania
from the Union, and her league with the
rebel States" 1t is his platform as we now
know from his distinct and emphatic avowal.
His mouth-pieces take up his declaration
and approve each sentence in detail, and
accept the whole as the platform of the
Democratic party in Philadelphia.
Any vote, therefore, cast at this election
for Democratic candidate for the Legisla-
ture, however it may be intended, will
practically be vote for the rebellion of
Pennsylvania against the national govern
meDt-a vote for the secession of the State
from the Union, and for the acceptance of
the yoke Of the rebel oligarohy of the cot
ton States.

WAR NEW S !.

Official dispatches from Gen Grant con-
firm the defeat of the rebels under Van
Dorm and Price by our forces under Gen.
Rosecrans at Corinth. The defeat was not
only decided, and accompanied by great
slaughter of the enemy, but followed by a
successful pursuit that promises still more
important results From the brief accounts
furnished by the telegraph it appears that
the combined force of the rebels, supposed
to be forty thousand strong, attacked our
troops at Corinth on Friday morning. The
attack was made with great impetuosity,
and the rebels at one time reached the
centre of the town, but were driven back
by bayonet charge. After fight of sew
! eral hours the rebels retreated and an ac-
tive pursuit was Immediately commenced
Gen. Ord on Saturday overlook the enemy
on the south side Of the Hatchie river and
drove them across, capturing two batteries
aHd two hundred prisoners. A large num-
Der Of prisoners were left in our hands in
the first days fight The position of the
rebel army is represented to be in the forks
OF the Hatchie river, nearly surrounded by
our forces Gen Grant says that he can
not see how the rebels are to escape with
out losing everything but their small arms.
In the battle of Friday, we had Gen. Hack
leman killed and Gen. Oglesby seriously
wounded
\ battle is expected to occur very soon
at Or near Bardstown, KY. The rebels
have $4,000 men near that place, and the
Union Central advance was only four miles
of on Saturday. SkirmisheS had taken
place, and 500 rebel prisoners taken. Kir-
by Smith was at Frankfort with 10000
men, and Humphrey Marshall was on his
way there with 5000.
The latest letters from Mississippi repre-
sent the National loss in the battle of Iuka at
l48 killed, 10 wounded and 94 missing: total
3l2. The loss of the enemy was at least l.
200 in killed and wounded, and 1000 prison
ers among whom were Col. Mabree, lst Texas
Legion; Lieut.. Col Gilmore, commanding Sd
Louisiana Infantry, seven captains and eigh-
teen Ieutenants.
"All quiet along the Potomac"
Gen. Morgan has arrived at Greenupsburg,

font, with Bragg and Marshall on his tanks
and Kirby Smith in his rear, lie kept on
the defensive during the march, the caval-
ry Of Gen. Stevenson and the guerilla
Morgan constantly harassing him. lie
marched one day twenty four consecutive
hours, and on three successive days drove

For three days his force was on limited

teemed a great success.

Raising False Issues.

The last Democrat contains a rather silly
card from the pen Of j. Harrison Ross, late
member Of Assembly, in which he cndeav-
ors to make it appear that somebody is per-
scouting him on account Of the tonnage
tax, and then invites taxpayers, in anxious
bench style, to come and vote for him, as
now is the time. With the quarrel be-
tween himself and his brother democrat,
neither the public nor ourselves have any
thing to do-as they may fight out their
difficulty but with the attempt to raise a
false issue at the election, We have. Mr..
Ross holds out the idea that he is the man
to have the tonnage tax restored-that he
can bring down the mammoth corporation
on It's knees and make the Grand bTogul
tremblc in his boots--in short, that he will
kick up "fugens' generally, while Tom
Williams, old Daddy Hopkins and num-
Der of others who could see much deeper
into milestone last winter than certain
j. Harrison Ross, will have to stand aside
and give way to "Buncombe" Now, as
we stated few weeks ago, it is not likely
that the tonnage tax question will be seri-
ously agitated next winter, but if it comes
up at all, Holmes Maclay will be quite as
likely to vote for It's restoration as j. II.
Ross.
In the meantime there are some other
questions which will come up, of interest
to the people as we'll as their pockets. For
instance the sclfstyled democratic conven-
tion at Harrisburg in July last passed a
resolution condemning the confscation bill
and asking that rebels may be tried by
rebel juries, which, with Bright resolu-
tions and U. S. Senator of the Hughes
school, form prominent topics for repre-
sentative. How Mr. Ross would vote on
such questions his Bright vote last winter
| proves.

neA.The patent democratic convention
re-assembled on Monday a week and NOM
mated w W Gilmore OF Memo township
as a candidate for Register and Recorder !!
From all that we have heard he has been
one Of the most violent denouncers of the
war and the administration in that hotbed
Of Southern sympathizers, and his nomina-
tion may therefore we'll be said to be fit
ting climax to that of Mr.. Hazlett for COM
missioner. Our candidate, Samuel W
Barr, son of Samuel Barr, Esq, late Reg
ister, is a young man of unquestionod in
tegrity, a thorough and sincere supporter
Of our National and State Administrations
in their efforts to crush the rebellion, and
we hope the loyal men of MiAlin will give
him such vote as viii satisfy Mr.. Gilmore
that his +" democracy" is not Of the kind
that meets their appreciation.
The convention also nominated Mont
gomery Morrison for Coroner, but Gum
wouldn't stand it, not being anxious to hold
an inquest on such candidates.
In their greediness for small favors they
even nominated an Auditor-of the same
stripe with others on the ticket-for two
years. Any one referring to the election
returns of 1861 viii see that Mr.. Yanzant
had IS majority in the county vote, and
was by the decision of the Supreme Court
throwing out the soldiers vote, duly elect
ed. OF course all votes cast for G. K. Da-
Wis for auditor are worthless.

aea- The howl going up in Richmond
and through the South at the Presidents
last proclamation against slavery, shows
that the root Of the rebellion has been
struck with blow that will crush it out.
As usual the democratic Vallandigham
papers in the North chime in with the rob-
els. They have little to say against the
rebels employing negroes in war or melting
Indians to murder oar men, women and
children, but when the life of the rebellion
IS threatened by destroying its most valua-
bic property, they are terribly afraid the
negroes will assert their freedom and hurt
some of the rebels Now who would care
if all South Carolina was annihilated? No
loyal man. Who would care how soon the
negroes would sloot or hang JEFF Davis,
his cabinet, his congress, and all belonging
to them No loyal man. Who would
care to hear that John c. Breckinridce,
Beaurcgard, and the whole nest Of vipers
whose hands are STEPPED in the blood Of
our husbands, fathers and sons, had perish
ed as perished John Brown? No loyal
man. Those who are true to the Union in
the South have until the first of January
to show their loyalty, and then if they fail
IN it let them take the Consequences
Those who stir up savage Indians, have nc
right to complain if arms are given tc
slaves to assert their right, in Thomas JET
