GH' On Tuesday next, the voters of
this county will be called upon to cast
their ballots for officers of the State and
County. AS they cast those votes, so
will be the effect towards the sustaining
or the weakening of the rebellion. Ev,
cry vote cast for MAHoNY man is vote
consuming the efforts of the government
TO break down rebellion. Every vote
cast for MAHoNY man is so much inhu-
ence given to the party that would com
promise away the freedom of the elective
franchse-the freedom Of the people to
express their will. Ifyou would put into
power men who desire to compromise
with treason-who wish now to give up
the struggle for national existence, ma
uonal unity--vote the MAuoNr ticket.
Ii YOU desire to crush out treason-if you
desire the liberty of casting your ballots,
and framing the policy of this govern,
ment, according to constitutional proya-
ions, agreeable to your constitutional
rights-if you do not wish to leave your
children the anarchy of continued revolt
from the decision of constitutional cleo
tons, vote the Republican ticket, strength.

Sept. 2lst, 1862.
FRIEND RIcH-I have sent for your
columns detailed account of the battle
near luka, but the good people of
Buchanan will be more interested per-
haps to know something of the conduct
Of the company in whose organic alton
and equipment they manifested such an
interest, than in hearing Of the general
movements of the other troops. To
Company L. was assigned an honorable
position. and they performed their work
SO well, that the General compimented
them on the spot Their duties on the
memorable 18th Of September were
most arduous. For four miles they went
deployed on the right Of the road as
skirmshers, exposed to murderous fire
from the enemy, who were esconced be-
hind every fence and out house. 1t tries
the nerves of a man to walk across an
open field when he knows that a score or
more of wrelches on the opposite side
are trying their best TO put bullet
through him. But the boys cared no
more, apparently, than they would for so
many yelping ours, walking straight
through the timber. climbing over fen
ces, plunging through swamps, and pick
ing their way through clumps of briers.
Every time that bulternut was visible,
up went a gun against a tree, and tax.

From Havana and Nassau

NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.-The steamer British
Queen, from Havana on the 22d, via Nassau on
the cath, arrived this evening. She brought no
Havana papers. The Nassau Guardian states
that the rebel steamers Antonio. lately the
Britir h steamer Herald, aud the Leopard had
arrived from Charleston the 2Uth. The
stea n4ers Aries and Hero We're at Charleston OH
the l7th.
Admiral Wilkes with two steamers arrived
on Nassau on the 2nth and signalled for a pilot,
when pilot went out and informed Com
Wilkes that he could not pilot him only by
special rermit of the Governor, who had issued
proclamation TO that effect on the lIth. The
Admiral reported that he would not violate the
permit, and would not come in without per-
mission. He then bore away and lay at a dis
tance s6 three miles from the shore
The Guardian is very indignant. and says
that Wilkes will not be allowed to come iu
probably feeling afraid that the two rebel steam
ers in port might come TO grief.
The Sonora and Octorora were az Alaco on
the 18th, much 10 the disgust of the secesh SYM
pathizers there. The Port magistrate had an
interview with Commanders Stevens and Col
lns, giving them a copy Of the proclamation,
and intimating that they shoul Id not stay i'm port
and at the same time Offering TO sell any stores
they wanted. They left that day returning
again at night.

times on our advance. and wounded Lieut. Col
Hand, OF the 3th Indiana. The right. under
Col. Dodge, drove back the Enemy to their bat

yond Layergne. None of our men Were killed.
but eleven Were wounded. The Rebels carried
on their killed and wounded Their forces
consisted of cavalry and artillery Their COM
mander, Gen. W heller, was wounded, and we
got three prisoners. The firing was quite heavy
on both sides. There was also heavy firing in
front of Sheridan's division on the Louis VILE
pike, amounting, however, 10 nothing of mo-
ment. Colonel Roberts, of the 42d Illinois also
captured a Rebel captais and some men aud

The Excitement in Northern Texas.


We have been permitted by the Governor to
look over the official accounts Of the discovery
of the secret abolition organization in northern
Texas, and the quick justice meted out 10 the
traitors. .-
The organization appears 10 be one of recent
date. 1t purports to have been started i'm the
North, and to embrace numbers of the Northern
army in its fold. 1t also purports to ex end 70
at least several companies of the organized
militia of northern Texas How far il extends
in that direction we are not prepared to say.
The bulk of its mem bership in Texas is in Cook,
Wise, Denton, Grayson; etc, counties. 1t also
reaches down TO Austin. Its first pretended
oblectis to resist conscription. It's chief object
is to keep mp Spy system for the Northern
army. II has grip, sign, and a password.
In case a member divulges ne is To bs hunted
10 the ends of the earth. In case OF draft of
the militia 10 meet Northern invasion, the
members are 10 go along and desert when the
battle comes on. The testimony elected also
points to an invasion OF Texas from Kansas.
1t refers, moreover, 10 concurrent in yasisn by
way of Galveston, and that both armies are 20
meet in Austin.
The organization has been found to extend TO
all classes of the community, clergymen, pro-
fessional men, farmers, etc. Among the number,
We are panied to find the name OF DIR. r. T.
Lively, of Sherman, a member of the Masonic
Grand Lodge of this State, and heretofore most
highly esteemed, having enjoyed some Of the
highest offices in that body. The whole sub
stance and machinery of the organization have
been discovered. A jury of twelve good men
are empaneled in each county, and the guilty
parties are brought befoie IL ana the evidence
taken. Ii is in every case so conclusive that
there is no getting around il. Several OF the
guilty have, after condemnation, made full
confession, and while under the gallows de-
ciared that they deserved death. In Gaines
Vile twenty-five have been hung. Trials are
now going on in all the counties. The testi.
mony goes 10 show that most of the initiated
have joined the society since the 18th Of Sep
tember.
tits very certain that nothing Of this char
acter could have gained any formidable dimen-'
sioAs in Texas Itis simply out OF the question.
The society is now nipped; all its members are
known and will hereafter be watched.-Hoas-
