FiIth--Curlin, $40 Woodward, l2
Tenth, 3o3 9
TO nail tbs in the samo manner, we
present the following extract from letter
written by member Of the 9Th, company
c., dated ION the Rnpidan, Va, Oct 3"
the original of which is alike open to
the inspection Of tho doubling. The
italies are os IN the original;
"You have probably seen by the Abo-
litiun sheets, that we have at last bad q
vote was taken on las! Sunday week.
Yesterday a young man Of Co. a, brought
a copy Of the Harrisburg Telegraph TO my
tent containing the result. The men of
our division have all along had hints
thrown out TO them that il they would
vote right they would be taken back To
the State in time for the election. Of
course under these circumstances, Curtin
had many friends. ] see Co. c, is down
as being unanimous for Curtin. The first
ntimation had that vote was tc be ta-
ken was when ---- -----, who acts as Or
derly Sergeant, stuck his head in my tent
and asked me how ! would vote if had
a chance. ! asked him who had sent
him round on THIS business 2 He said it
was the Colonel's orders ! then said
Tell the Colonel il is none of his id
business how | vote lie said HE WOULD,
If our Company was allowed TO vote at
the polls, we would have n small majority
for Woodward. Some half dozen voted
for Woodward as it was but see there is
no mention of the fact or the returns"
What an infamous outrage upon the
intelligence Of the real kerocS Of our armies
49, for we assert that the real heroes are to be
found in the ranks They are not only
robbed, and cheated, and treated like
beasts of burden but they are either de
MED fair expression of their political
sentiments, or if they do express them,
they are wickedIy misrepresented. Such
perfdy never before disgraced any politi-
cal party And these mon pretend 10 be
the exclusive friends of the soldier Out
upon such hypocrisy!
lie no. 10,
Is to be found in another article in the
same column, wherein it is said /" the pur-
poses of Northern Copperheads meaning
Democrats and Southern rebels are
identical" We have the authority of F.
NJ. General Blair, for saying that it is The
"Abolitionists who are cooperating with
the Secessionists for the destruction Of the
| Union"
lie NJ. 90,
Is the insinuation in the first article in
the last column OF the second page, that
Judge WOODWARD is "willing to surrsnder"
any portion of our territory.
LIE.NO 81,
Is the equally base insinuation, in tne
next paragraph, that Judge WOODWARD is
not in favor Of an honest prosecution of the
war, and in favor of putting down the
rebellion"
LIE no %,
Is in speaking orlhe Abolition meeting in
this place on court week, styling il :" the
largest and most enthusiastic meeting ever
held in this part Of the State - This is a
whoprer'
LIE no, %,
Is in the article referring to Mr.. Northrop's
speech, in which Mr.. n is represented to
have advised "eyery Democrat to vote
against the amendment, for whdt right hare
tie soldiers to ros7" This is a plain, positive,
distinct and unqualified lie, and known to
be such by the snenking coward who
penned it.
LIE No, "a,
Is in the comments on the same article,
alleging that Judge WOODWARD had de-
livered an opinion DISTINGUISHING the
soldiers" The writer also knew this to be
| false.
LIE NO. 25,
Is but a repetition of lie number 8, and
needs no further exposition.
LIE 10. &c,
IS another effort in the third column,
third ppge, to show sympathy between
Judge WOODWARD and leading Secession
lists, aud is too ridiculous to require notice
LIE NO q,
Is another of the Pttsburg blackguards-
Tho's j, BinghSm's mot against WooD.
WARD, but against LowRIE, that he turned
an INDECENT soldier from his door with
the remark that "he would prefer giving
bread to rebels rather than Union SOL
dier's." This is so perfectly ridiculous
