tell you sir, il is either the annihila-
tion of the white population of the
South, or, it is the establishment of a
Northern Confederacy. 1t is time for
me to close. My summary then is,
that the Proclamation of Emancipa-
tion hasunited the South and disuni-
ted the North; that it has done more
to discourage ehlistments, than every
body and everything else together, and
therefore the author ought to be lock-
ed up in Fort Warren, until the war is
over; that if Clement L. Vallandigham
was my direct foe, and his opponent
my dearest friend, l shold vote for
him, because, l prefer the principle of
liberty, to the price of blood. -
AS all things are uncertain here be-
low, shall say, l will vote for him, if
l am allowed, for Gen. Lew Wallace is
reported to have said last spring, 81
want you to distinctly understand,
that the bayonet is stronger than the
ballot-box." Kentucky has realized
the truth of that remark. John Sher-
man says Vallandigham is condemn
ed criminal. He is therefore disloyal
"a la Wicklife,' and shall not be no
ted for "a la Burnside" Sherman
and Abraham Africanus. Who tells
the truth? The latter says Val. has
not been condemned for anything he
HAS said or done, but to keep him
fromsaying or doing anything wrong.
He is then not a criminal, and the
President loves him so, he is deter
mined he shall not commit a crime
In conclusion, l shall make my will
before go to the polls, next fall, and
l hereby authorize and request him
who holds the familyrecord, to expunge
my name therefrom, if do not live
and die freemen.
Very respectfully,
W. MARSHALL ANDERSON.

Conspiracy On FOot to Break up
the Esause of Representatives at
washington.

Conspiracy on Foot to Break NE
the Esause of Representatives al
Washington.
The Washington correspondent of tha
Chicago Times thus sounds the note o
alarm:
"There is another very serious matter II
relation to which the people ought to bt
warned. The recent elections for members
OF Congress make it probable that there viii
be a majority Of members 10 the next HOUSE
Of Representatives in opposition to the Ad
ministration. 1t will be very small ma
iority, but still majority, and they would
have the power to elect the Speaker. The
Administration have taken means to prevent
this. When Congress assembled. men will
present themselves from all the districts II
the Southern States now occupied by oul
troops, ard will claim to be Union men elec
ted to Congress by Union men in these dis
tricts. Arrangements have been made tt
have such mon from North Carolina, Arkan'
sas, Louisiana, the western part OF Iennes
see ard Florida. These men will really
have been elected, but 1t will be an election
held and controlled by military force and a.
WnlCn no one VIII have Uteu ailo"po w fo''
except tools OF the Administration. neec
not say that the voices OF the people OF tbs
States have named will not be heard or ex
pressed IN those elections at all. But the
cree ures thus elected. will come to Wash
iugton, and will demand seats in the House
of Representatives. The utmost power OF tht
Administration will be exercised in order tt
have them admitted to seats The money
OF the Federal Treasury will be used in Law
ish profusion to effect this end. II it IS eilec
ted, if these men, even if five Of them, are
admitted, it will turn the balance, and the
Republicans will elect the next Speaker
Already, by the Juggling of the last Congress
in passing the bill for the dismemberment oil
the State of Virginia, the Administration
has created for itselftwo votes in the Uni
ted States Senate. The dismemberment
game will be tried again in this Congress. -
For every State thus dismembered the Ad
mlnstration gains two new votes in this
Senate.
Such performance as that would be a:
great an outrage and as great revolu tion ir
the Government as the disposal oft a ID
Napoleon by armed force. 1t can not be sub
mitted to.

The Political Canvass iN Ohio.

We assure our friends out of the State
who take such deep interest in the election
Of Mr.. Vallandighom, the exile OF the Lin
coin Despotism, that every day adds conf
dence to the friends of "lree speech, free
press and free ballot" that Ohio will do
her whole duty on the 18th day Of next DC
tober. Marh our prediction! We prefer,
however, to work rather than propbesy. And
this seems to be the feeling Of every Demo
crat. They work, work, work, rather than
boast. They believe in practical rather than
hypothetical performances. They prefer
spreading stern and undying truths rather
than such epbemeral pledges as the most
fiippant demagogue can make.
The great ground swell of popular upris-
ing cannot be m stakeu. The people have
taken tho work Of electing Mr.. Vallandig-
ham into their own hands; they are resolved
not to be foiled in their great work; and
when the resolve to 60 straightway and do
it. They ieel that oil they hold dear as free.
men is at stake; that personal liberty and
constitutional freedom are placed in their
hands for safe keeping; and they have sworn
on the altar Of their country that they Will
preserve them from harm, SO lar as ohio Is
concerned. Let other States do as they
will: OHIO WILL BE FREE!- Crisis.

DEAR Sir:
Since the nomination Of Vallandig-

tiOn by Democrats, both at home and abroad,
whether you would support Mr.. Vallandig
ham; and what your opinions were in regard
to the policy oil the two political parties at
the present time; giving as a reason for ask
ing the question, that your brother Charles
Anderson was candidate on the Republi-

10 occupies, would have some influence upon
you.
If agreeable to you an early answer will

The WORLDS SPECIAL

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-The good news
received from General Rosecrans is inter-
preted by the official organ this morning, to
mean that reinforcements have reached him,
and that he may soon decide when be shall
resume the offensive
1t would be highly improper at the pres
ent time to reveal in full the nature of our
present position; but it is Of such nature
as to render an attack on our lines exceed
ingly improbable.
The sanitary condition of this army is
very satisfactory. It is generally thought
that it was never in better condition than at
present.
There is good reason to believe Lee is not
anxious to press an engagement, and that il
he should attempt flank movement, his
labor will be vain.
A large portion OF our army is encamped
near Culpepper.

Tennessee Election.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.-The Hon. Em,
erson Etheridge will at the instance Of
prominent Union men of Tennessee, endea
vor to obtain the consent of the admins
tration for Gen. VIM. B. Campbell to be
inaugurared Governor Of Tennessee, on the
ground that he was votedfor in the various
counties on the first Thursday in August
last, the day fixed by law for the election
of Governor in that State since 1885. II
is claimed that he received all the votes
cast, and in that State the majority of all
the votes given elects.
+ A large vote, it is said by these gentle
men, would have been thrown throughout
the State had not Gov. johnson and his
advisers opposed the election. They also
stateNthat the election of Gov. Campbell
would relieve Gov. johnson from his labors
and the people of the State, having civil
government, would have no difficulty in
recognizing the entire State Government
Immediately.
The Missouri delegation at meeting to-
day appointed committee of one from
each Congressional District of that State,
in connection with Gen. Paine and A. C..

ces arising out of the mild policy pursued
by Gen. Schofeld in his administration of
affairs in his military department.

FORTRESS MONROE, Sept ga deserter

prising tales of the doings Of the rebels in
Richmond.
Rumors are flying about the city in all
directions, that the rebels Capitol was be
ing evacuated, and that the whole rebel ar
my was deserving Virginia and going South
This gained strength from statements of
party of our men who had escaped from
Belle Isle and came into Wilmington and re
ported to Gen. Onderdeuk, commanding cav
airy at that advance post on on the Peninsu,
la. Shese men stated Substantially the same
facts as the deserters reported.
Troops were known to be moving in large
numbers through Richmond, and going
South.
