WHO Is He !-On the field of Gettysburg
after the battles, the dead body of Union
soldier was found, holdiEg in his clasped
hands ambrotype of three children, girl
and two boys, aged apparently about nine,
seven and five years. In the picture, the
youngest child, boy, is seated in a high
chair, between his elder brother and his
sister, while the dresses of the two latter
are made OF the same material. The soldier
was buried on the field where he fell, and his
grave is marked, but his name could not be
ascertained. 1t is hoped, however. that he
may yet be identified by means of the ambro-
type OF the children found in his hands when
his body was discovered. The picture is uow
in possession of DR.. Bourns, ll04 Spring Gar
den street. Philadelphia, who can be called
npon or addressed in reference to it.

"a BIG THING ON SNYDER. -

The last Copperhead organ tells story a.
bout the Election Board in Burnside township,
which it is almost pity to spoil by correcting
its misstatements. 1t sets forth that a Mr.
EsClear," who expressed his belief that he had
no lawful right 10 vote, was challenged, and
that whilst the Election Board were consult
ing on the subject, ssa leading Abolitionist''
ordered the ssAbolition Inspector to put the
tickets into the boX'' and that this he did be-
fore the Beard had come to a conclusion.
This is, substantially the story of the Copper
head organ. The facts simply thus-Mr.
John Cleary ,son of Rev. Jas. CIeary, was the
soldier who offered to vote. When he was chal-
lenged, a copy of the Patriot and Union, con-
tanning Judge Woodward IS decision. re lative
to the right of soldiers to vote, was handed
the Board, and whilst they were endeavoring
to gain such light from this precious Gocu-
ment as might guide then in the case before
them, the tickets, which were lying ON the
box, pushed in by OtheIo Smead, the
Copperhead Inspector, he suppesing it TO be a
Woodward ticket. These are the facts as sta
ted to us by a responsible gentleman, who was
present and saw the whole transaction. When
the 'ssuaiks' over the way hereafter attempt
10 make capital out of affair of this kind
they had better take care to see that none of
their own friends are as deeply implicated ss
they are in this instance.

We SEE by our exchanges, that that stern
soldier aud sterling patriot, Brig. General
STEADMAN, of Ohio, has been indulging in
characteristic speech in Toledo, in which he
paid particular attention to the Copperheads,
reiterating at the same time the praiseworthy
principles of the war Democrats. Gen. STEAD
MAN has long been known TO the Ohioans, as a
man of .sirrepressible temPerament''-wha lie

to clinch his word in hearty honest practice.

THE WAR NEWS.

OCTOBER 29--The unusual quiet of the past
three weeks was broken yesterday by Gill
more's new batteries, which opened on Fort
Sumter and on Fort Moultrie and Johnson
and the batteries about those works. The
rebels replied TO our fire, but with little accur-
acy. Our fire, has been quite sharp and toler-
ably effective. The bricks on Fort Sumter
flew in clouds, and it was the opinion of one
of our general officers that it was quite as safe
TO be outside of that work as inside. 1t must
have been very hot for the inmates OF the fort,
if fragments of shot and she'll, bricks, mortar
and splinters can bring about such state OF
affairs. The fire upon Moultrie and Johnson
had the desired effect. The rebels fired fee
bly, and inaccurately. Not casualty occurred
on our side during the day.
Our PARROTS are talking as loudly as ever,
out with what results have not been learned.
One thing is Ger tain, the rebels have been
checked in any efforts they may have made
TO erect battery within the work, and the
chances are that such work is already de-
sstroyed by the shot and she'll now raining in
to the tort. The scene daily witnessed is in
no ways different from the one described.
Iached, and more brick dust is thrown in the
air by our heavy projectiles, than in the first
bombardment, because the range is nearly
two-thirds shorter than before, and the force
of impact is cOrrespondingly increased. Sum-
ter has not replied. nor is it likely that the
enemy eau much longer maintain possession
of the work. But We shall see in due time
what is 10 be accomplished. The weather is
now cool and bracing. We are looking for
the first frost with good deal of anxiety, as
by it alone shall we get rid of malarial diseas-
,es, which prevail among the command. One
of our guns was firing upon the city OF
Charleston when the Arago sailed, with what
result cannot yet be stated. ST. MichaePs
spre is the target for our fire.
A gallant and successful movement has
taken place at Chattanooga. a detachment OF
the 1lth Ohio, under Col. StanIy, succeeded
in floating fifty pontoons down the river in
face of the enemy, when Gen. Hazen, with
1000 of Gen. Palmer's division, attacked the
Rebels on Lookout Mountain. and drove them
from their position. Our loss was only five
killed and fifteen wounded. Communication
was thus secured with Bridgeport, along the
Chattanooga River. Gen. Palmer has been
assigned to the command of the Fourteenth
Army Corps.
Lookout Mountain Is ours. The enemy has
fallen back without resistance. The river and
railroad is unmolested. Our troops hold the
south side of the river from Bridgepors tC
Chattanooga. Gen. Hooker on the 26th, a
midnight, was attacked by the enemy, He
repused them at every point and fought til
O'Clock a. m. This movement relieves the
army of the Cumberland from obstruction K
communications by the opening of the river
to Chattanooga.

DEAR TINES forgot. in my last to tell
you of quite an amusing incident connec-
ted with the hanging of the Tory bush
t0hqcker, to which referred last week. 1
believe stated that two 6ush,chackers
were captured, both of whom were very
properly dealt with summarily by being
hanged. One of them had received a
shot in the shoulder, inficting painful
wound, and disabling him from making
his escape. While the officer was arrangs
ing the hempen necklace about the woun-
ded Tory's neck, it produced considerable
pain in the wounded shoulder, which in.
duced him to exclaim: sob! do please
don't! I don't beliere can bear to be
hung! My shoulder is so sore

POSTSCRIPT.

By a telegram received Thursday, June 4,
from Memphis, June ), We learn that The
siege of Vicksburg is slowly progressing,
the mortars keeping up continuous fire day
and night HI the prisoners in the Nicks-
burg Jail had been released and put across
the river. They report the jail destroyed by
one of the gInboats shells.
Scouts report 10. Johnston advancing to
relieve the Nicksburghans. One army corps
drew days rations and marched out TO meet
him. 1t is believed to he Johnston's inten-
tions to retake HaineS' BIltf and break rp
our communication on the Yszoo. His force
is estimated from $4,000 to $4,000. Gen
Grant IS said 10 be confident of defeating
him without raising lie siege
The official report of that brilliant affair
by Walker at Yazoo has been received al
Washington. The victory grows in magni-
:ude as it becomes knoTn. Its a great blow
to the rebels, as not only their finished and
unfinished steamers and rams were destroy
ed. but their navy yard and machine shops
were burned
