4 defeat Of the Union ticket in Chicago,
today, would be equivalent to great dis
aster in the field. Copperheadism, lately
abashed and supp1ant, awcd By the
threatening attitude of the army
and the people, would take new
courage and essay new treasons.
There is not q rebel in arms against the
Government, who would not be encouraged
and stimulated by such misfortune to the
loyal cause There is not in the South a
newspaper that would not set up q yell Of
triumph over the popular reaction" in
The North. And there is not in the whole
countga loyal heart that would not grow
heavy when the result was announced.
Such being the case, every man who has
vote for the right should come out; and
not only disregard all personal considera-
tions, but hazard all personal inconyenien-
ccs until his ballot is deposited where it
will tell.
Vote the whole ticketl Let us have no
half-riumphs. 4 clean victory that shall
not leave single Copperhcad above the
surface beneath which the others went
down, is what the case requlrcsl Nothing
but clean victory will meet the demand !
Union men! see to it that in 4 einglc
city on single day, the Union cause docs
not lose the prestige which it has gained By
Z succession OF triumpls in hall dozen

there cncamped; another likewise, cavalry,
hiyouaced at Elk Run, another portion Of
cavalry, with battery, Iencamped at Norris

remained for the night at Grove Church.
Before daylight that portion encamped at
Dritersbury sent out two squadrons Of the sth
Illinois and the 9th, under Capt. Farnsworth,
with instructions to proceed to War.enton,
thence to Sulphur Springs, and there await
orders.
The remainder Of this force was ordered to
Proceed to Liberty.
The squadron sent towards Warrenton
