Correspondence Of the Perrysburg Journal

lCOrrespondencc OF the Perrysbufg JournaII
GLENDNLE, Mss, September p, 1868.
Eps. Journal Our Alabamians organized at
Huntsville, in July, 1862. After serving about
one year in the lst Middle Tennessee Cavalry, we
were transferred, by special order Of the War De
partmcnt, to the lst Alabama Cavalry, and or
dered to report to Brigadier. General Dodge, at
Corinth, Mississippi. After experiencing much
delay, in consequence Of red tape, we finally made
connection September 30, 1868. We are on the
outpost once more, the place we are used to, and
prefer above all others. This regiment commenced
to organize one year ago and part Of one company
has already been mustered out, being organized
as twclvc-months men. They will mostly be out
Ivy January next but will no doubt rcorganize on
the three years basis. Company d, lst Middle
Tennessee Cavalry is now. Company l, lst Ala
bama, and Company is Company h, Captain
Smith being still prisoner at Richmond. Your
humble servant commands Company X. Our Sec.
ond Lieutenant T. J. Spencer is serving on General
Rosccrans staff as Ordnance Officer since February
last.
There are a great many refugees here living
mostly in tents. Several Of our men fourd their
wives and families here and nearly all have heard
from their homes.
Last night Lieutenant Trammel. Of this rcgi-
mcnt returned from Marion County, Alabama, where
he went two weeks ago with only ten men to get
recruits for this regiment Ec brought in one hun
dred and ten recruits and eight prisoners among
whom is Lieutenant and a rebel mail. Our Col
oncl sent out strong party to meet the expedition
returning, and they arrived without being attacked
though they were followed by gucrrillas.
The Union people in North Alabama, in some
quarters, are armed and organized, and hold thcir
own against the bushwhackers learn there are
several squads ready to come to this regiment and
will be in here shortly. They have raised good
crops and have plenty of provisions except salt
and groceries.
There can be two or three moro regiments raised
there yc; il army could move up nearer to that
country. There are plenty of Union who have
kept clear of rebel conscripton by lying out in the
mountains for the past year, learn that but few
of those who have come in have ever been in the
rebel army. They are very much like the loyal
men Of East Tennessee, and certainly deserve the
sympathy and merit the help of all true patriots
Their Union sentiments have cost them something.
We are in hopes of being ordered out toward
the loyal portion of Alabama soon, and if So, NAV
be able to give you some further information con
ccrning this very interesting portion OF the couutry
/ Till then adiru. Yours truly,
J. II. H0RNBACK,
lst Lieutenant Co. X, lst Alabama Cavalry.

Incidents of the Election.

When the votes we're be ing counted out in this
township, orthe evening Of the 18th inst, Union
ticket was found with every name erased, and Val
landigham written thereon for Governor not an
other name voted for. The coward that voted that
ticket verify took much pains to hide his treason.
May his shadow speedily grow small.
Several of the Copper tickets had the name of
Vallondigham cut of entirely. The threats ofthose
who deposited them were, no doubt, too small to
swallow the entire ticket.
Another individual, whose cultural capacity was
evidently much larger, folded two Copper tickets
together, and thus deposited them. Of course
they were thrown out.
We noticed qdite number of the independently
Brough Democrats peddling the traitor tickets on
that day, seemingly without having the fear OF that
organ before their eyes.
Webster Township is the Banner Township Of
Wood County, having given but eight vo.es for tue
exiled traitor, out of III. Webster is certainly a
good township to live in.
But three townships out of the eighteen, in this
county, gave maiorties for the Canada candidate.
Freedom Township was tie on the vote for Gov
ernor.
Verify, snakes, now-a-days, are crawling out OF
their skins. In Weston Township two Copper
tickets were deposited with Vallandigham's name
erased. Since the election about fifty Copperheads
swear that they voted those tickets. A mighty
condensation was that or deviish quantity of ~
ing.
The names OF those who voted the Copper ticket
IN Washington Township, are known to a man,
Ditto in Perrysburg Township, ditto in all the
other townships.

REJOICINGS AT BOWLING GREEN.

BOWLING GREEN, October Is, 1868.
Ems. JoURNAL Feeling so we'll satisfied with
our own efforts in the great battle of Tuesday last,
and so much gratdcd at the victory obtained over
the rebels by the loyal people of our glorious
State, we could not refrain from giving vent to
emotions in "wec bit" of a iullifcation
Accordingly, last evening there was an impromptu
gathering Of the citizens of Plain and Center town
ships, in front OF the School House in this place.
Henry Gorrill, Esq, was called to the stand and
for the space of half an hour or more. enchancd
the attention of the crowd-ncarly half of whom
were ladies. will not attempt to give a synopsis
of his patriotic address, further than to say that he
expatiatcd at some length on the Importance of the
great battle which we have just wou-a battle
more terrifying to the rebels than any vet fought
upon the tented field aud also upon the duties
We still owe to our country, and to our brave boys
in the aImy-thlt the way to end the war at the
least expenditure of blood aud treasure, is to an
swcr promptly and cheerfully all calls that may be
made upon Us FOR more men, and thus convince the
rebels that there is no hope for them but in sub
mission.
After MI. Gorrl left the stand amid the hearty
applause Of the audiencel, S. l.. BouGhton was
loudly called for, aud for the space of fifteen min
utes fully kept up the interest of the assembled
multitude, notwithstanding all had to stand during
the entire evening. The best commentary l can
make upon Mr. Boughton's excellent remarks is
simply to relate the fact that the voters of the
rebel ticket feel that they Were badly abused by
him.
Martial music was provided for the occasion,
and our gun was not kept idle. At the conclusion
Of Mr. Boughton's address, Mrs. NJ. \. Vail
whose only brother was killed at the battle Of
Stone river, and whose husband has Just passed
through the desperate conflict at Chicamauga, did
us the honor to fire our last gun-immodiatcly after
which the assembly dispersed in the best of spirits

DR.. SWEETS INFALLIBLE LINIMENT FOR
HORSES is uurivaled by any, and in all eases of

Saddle Calls, Scratches, Mango, &C., il will also

Startling Intelligence OF India Atroci-
ticS-MaSsacre of an Overland Party
Of Sevcnty-three Persons.


Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribunc.I
ST. PAUL, MINN., Oct :.
The sad and startling Intelligence reached
us to-day that Captain Fisk's overland eX
pedition to Idaho has been massacred by
Sioux Indians. The news was brought by
halt-brccds to Pcmbina. Nothing definite
is given as to the time or locality of the
massacre, except that it was ON the + .
Bend of the Missouri. The only hope loI
this report proving untrue is that it may
be another version of the attack on a party
OF miners coming down tie Missouri, ac.
counts of which have already been pub
lshcl.
Fisk was l2O miles north northwest OF
SiJlcy, when he engaged the Indians during
the last of July. The same hlf-hrccds that
brought the news Of Captain Fisk's massa.
ere also brought Intelligence of General
Sihlry's engagement with Indians, which
was ncariya month later than S,bley. This
leads to the belief that Captain Fisk could
not have been on the Missouri at the time
indicated. 1t is more than likely, however
that the report Of the massacre is correct.
The half.brceds say that the Indians display
as trophies guns and articles of apparel be-
longing to the ill-iatcl victims and among
other things Captain Fisk's cap and car
bne.
This expedition left here in June, mum
boring one hundred ard thirty. At Fort
Ahercrombie, Captain Fisk changed his
route, where nearly half left him thinking
it unsafe. The report says forty ont o.
scventy.thrcc were killed. but it is hardly
probable any escaped. The expedition
was sent out to encourage overland emf.

The Reason Why.

In orr day as an editor in this CITY, We
have had occasion TO account for Demo
cratic defeats in other States so often, that
we at an carly date found it necessary to
study the science OF giving satisfactory
explanation of such reports. We have
therefore been at somo pains to discern
why Nallaudgham was not elected, and
taking the data as furnished, we have ar.
rived at the following conclusions
The Honorable II. 7. Mcrrick of this c tv
perhaps the ablcst orator in the United
States, addressed eleven meetings in Ohio
tire Democracy of the State to hear him
BY the reports of these meetings it appears
that at each of ten of these there were 80,
600 persons present and at the other 40
600. This would figure up $4,000 listen
erS. Deducting 100000 for Democrats who
were present at more than one meeting,
aud were counted twice, AMI 10000 for
stray Republicans who were attracted TO
the meetings by his matchless eoquencc,
we have Let balance of over 400 900
Democrats III Ohio--murc than enough to
have beaten BrOugh two to one. Figures
will not lie, and there is no use in denying
the fact that there was that number of Dem
ocrats in the State before the election. It
will remain, however, as one OF the unac-
countablc untathomaLie mysteries Of the
age, why so many thousand of these mon,
after hearing Captain Merrick, should have
gone homo and voted for Brough! We
may account for Brough's election by stat.
ing the fact, but it is not our province TO
explain or account for the stupidity of the
