FRAUDS IL THK STATE.
PIrIsBURG, Oct l6, 1868.
! MEssBs. EDIToRs: Tell our friends no
to pay over any bets OF Allegheny acninsl
Berks till further ADVISED. There are mos
J outrageous frauds here, now being developed
and which can easily be proved.
One Of these was perpetrated in the First
/ Ward Of this city, where, besides polling ior
Curtin perhaps two hundred illegal votes
/ they make Woodward's vote only "; Low
rie receives 179, aud the county ticket say
/ 100 to 1873. Now at least one hundred and
eighty rnen will swear they voted for Wood
ward and those who prepared and distribu-
| ted the tickets will swear that Woodward's
name was in them all. The tally list
squares with the ballots, and the Only ex.
planation is that about one hundred and
twenty Woodward tickets were thrown out
and replaced with a like number with Cur
tins name on them. In Williamsburg awhole
camp voted some of them from Canada. 1t
is intended to protest against these districts
to, day before the Return Judge, and then 10
60 OF with legal resistance. We polled ten
thousand votes, a thousand more than in
1860, and yet we are beaten seven thousand.
Yours, truly, Is.
ARMY OPERATIoNs.-Th Hanesville Courier
thus tells how certain military gentleman
have been prosecuting the war" in that
city:
On Saturday last six or eight young girls
mystcriousy disappeared from this city and
Putnam. One OF them fortunately left a
note in her room, stating that they we're go-
ing in charge Of a certain Captain, TO the
South, to act as nurses in the Military Hos
pitals. The parents of the young adventur-
ers were agoniZed with griat, when they had
gone, and Immediately dispatched some gem
tltmcu after them. By last evenings Col
umbus Erpfs5, we learn that two girls, sup>
posed to belong to the party, one hailng
from GAINESVILLE, and the other from Putnam,
were arrested at the Depot in that city on
Saturday afternoon, dressed in military ap-
parel. They had a large quantity of letters
hom anonymous correspondents, who are in
the army, and judging from the tenor Of the
communications, aud from the actions of the
girls there is no doubt but what the were en-
ticed away from their comforta BILE home, by
that romantic, but decided injurious practice
OF answering or inserting advertisements,
headed "Wanted Correspondence" They
had purchased tickets for Cincinnati. Their
exposure appears to have been taken very
hard by them and in reality they were on
their way to DIN their pretended lovers

The New York Conamerciai says:
Some Of our readers may remember n GER
tain Joseph Barker, an BugiIshman, social
ist, reiormer, an infiiei, who Ggulei very
largely in the old fashioned Abolition con
ventions a few years ago. He hailed from
Ohio, and among the mad fanatics beyond
the AleghanFes was leading brother: Mr..
Barker was addicted TO every species Of re-
form, but he was specially virulent in his
hostility to slavery and the Bible. Ten years
ago, indeed as late as 1866, Barker was the
associate and friend Of the men ana women
who are even now most prominent in the
Abolition movement, as illustrated in Farm
ington picncs, or on Salem platforms. Lat
terly he has lived in England. In the year
above named he wrote letter, in which he
strongly espoused the cause of the NORTH
1t was during the Fremont campaign.
Now he has come out strongly for the South,
For this be is called by some shallow critics
renegade. He Indignantly repudiates the
charge, and defines his position as follows:
"The Joseph Barker o. 1856 does not now
exist. On the evidence Of Psychologists, the
human body u1dergoes an entire change ev-
cry seven wears; that nearly seven years had
easped since the writing of that letter; con
sequenty he, the present Joseph Barker,
was not the person who wrote it,"
Barker is a fair specimen Of the ever vi
brating or changing fanatic, who whiftles
round from one extreme to another. Breck
inrdge uncompromiling Democratic leaders
now. like Geneoal Butler and D. $. Dickin-
son, ho'h once fanatic pro slavery, are row
the Abolition leaders, while Barker has top
pied over to he other side. Mems s1na in
sono c0rpore never thus some!ssts from one
thing to another.-NeW YORK. Express.
New Officers (rcnted.
AS an edifying remainder to the levers OF
progress the Washington correspondence OF
the journal Of Commerce thus briefly refers
to the number OF officers created during the
last year, for the purpose of "putting down
the rebellion" and taking charge of some
other little matters for "the Govarnment."
Here is the dry list, without the fat sums
attached:-8 medical inspectors, 130 clerks
in the quartermaster's department, 3 com
missioners for Sioux Indians, Is officers for
Arizona territory, 2 2comptrollers OF currency
with an unlimited rumber of clerks, 130
clerks for the treasury department, 8 clerks
