THE HONEST MnRAVIAN

In one of the wars in Germany, captain of
cavalry was ordered out on a foraging expe-
dItIon He put himself at the head of his
troops and marched to the quarter assigned
hlm- 1t was solitary valley, in which hardly
anything bnt woods could be seen In the
midst OF ii stood a little cottage. On perceiv-
ing 1t, he went up and knocked at the door.
Ansnclent Hern hunter, (Which denotes Mo-
raVlan,) with beard silvered with age, came
oCt.
''Father," said the officer, ssshow me a field
where can set my troops foraging.''
Presently" replied the Hernhunter.
The coed man walked before and conduct
ed them ont of the valley. After quarter of
an hours march, they found fine field of
barley.
This is the very thing we want" said the
captain.
''Haye patience for few minutes,' said
the guide, ''you shall be satisfied
They went on, and at the distance of about
quarter of league further they arrived at
another field of barley. The troops immedi-
ately dismounted, cut down the grain. trussed
1t up, and remounted. The officer then said
to his conductor
''father, you have given to yourself and us
unnecessary trouble the first field was much
better than this.''
''Very true, sir,'' replied the good old man,
'but 1t was not mine"

SLAVE sTAMPEnE M KRNrncKv

The Nashville Union of the 9th says: ssA
very respectable STAKEHOLDER from Kentucky
informs US that, within three weeks past. a
Change seems to have come over the negroes s
in the southern counties of that State, and
large numbers of them are running off. He says
that over one hundred and fifty have escaped
from one county, and the trouble is increas ing.
In spite of the enormous prices which the
great Kentucky staple (tobacco) is bringing,
slaves have deprecated greatly iu valne. A
very large portion of the Slaveowners say that
slavery is hopelesslv destroyed and that they
are willing TO acquiesce in any disposition
which may be made of the slaves. This SEN
timent is rapidly spreading among the people.
The Union men are almost unanimously op.
posed to the tactiOus and selfish course of the
proslavery bigots at Louisville and Frank
fort.''

A STIRRING SPEECH.

AT the great Union meeting in the Cooper
Institute, New York, on Thursday evening,
Governor Yates, of Illinois, said he had been
born in slave State, (Kentucky,) and now
declared that slavery stood in the path of
the republic. He had found fault with
Mr.. Lincoln because he was too slow for h i'm
He was himself thankful for the compliment
OF being called radical; there is no compro
mise between falsehood and truth. He ad-
ded
'sWhen free schools aud the true aristocra-
cy of this land-free labor-iS established we
shall again have true Union and glorious
country. But there will be no peace until sla-
very is destroyed, and the glorious flag of our
country is carried by our brave boys through
the fields of Georgia. and floats over Charles
ton and Richmond. loud cheers. And
after all, he had found that Mr.. Lincoln could
not move faster than God and Providence
permitted. When he telegraphed to President
Lincoln his fiery dispatch for confscation and
emancipation, Old Abe telegraphed back
ssDick, hold still and see the sa Ivation of
God" Tremendous cheering There has
been great complaint that we have interfered
with mems rights. but when a traitor is con-
victed and hung ,ihe is only getting his rights
They only have the right to be hung on this
earth, and the divine right to be id forever
after. ICheers.J We will not give up this
land TO traitors they in the West Were ready
to swear that the Mississippi river sha Il run
blood before the great outlet shall be given to
traitors. We cannot get rid of this war by
mpromise-cOmpromiS is played out.
Laughter and cheers. He wanted peace,
but a solid and lasting peace, and the only
way is to carry this war through, and to crush
treason both North and South. TCres of
"Bravo."l The only way is to fight the war
out. The rebels say they will not submit
they will have three-fourths of the country
he would swear by Almighty God that they
shall not have an inch.''

GEN. ROSECRANs.

The Washington correspondent of the N Y
Erentng Post writes:
The President disclaims any connection
with the statements against General Rose
Grams character a man or soldier. He was
satisfied with his conduct at Chickamauga
General Rosecrans removed, as he him
self has said in a public speech, ssbecause of
military necessity" General Grant was the
only man who could command the cousolida-
ted armies, and for year the personal rela-
tions of General Grant and General Rosecrans
have not been pleasant. Rosecrans could not
well serve under Grant-he did not like TO do
so. for their relations could not be amicable
This fact is well known by military men in the
Southwest-tho government knew it, and il
therefore relieved General Rosecrans tempo
rarlly from command.

are acting in self-defence, and are iustifiabIe
IN their course; and it is upon this principle
that w oodward was selected as the-garty STAN
dard bearer, and it is in behalf of this princi-
pie that j. CLANCY Jones tells us ssthere is
nothing left us but rebe llion'' in case of de-
feat.
Now, it is gratifying to know that the par
W which has promulgated these monstrous
sentiments has been defeated in the contest
on the second Tuesday of October-not that
we court the horrors of rebellion in our midst

hoole spectacle of patriotism rising above fear

OF the glorious cause of the nation and her
own free institutions.

point. Let US now call special attention to
the threat of j. Clancy Jones. that ssnothjug
is LETT us but rebellion" This NAV or il NAV
not, be an idle boast 1t may be the foreshad-
owing OF what has been determined on by these
base, wicked men. Rebellion IN case of de-
ieat, is the logical sequence of the doctrines
taught by the leaders of the Democratic par
ty IN the North. The effort may be made
mere IN pennsylvania to give physical aid to
the Southern Rebellion. This is the point TO
be watched. Let the Union men remember
that 'eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.''

Aggregate increase,

In these two calculations we find that of the
%. 900 Democratic increase, over l6 900 is in
these Democratic counties in places where
the election officers being Democratic, frauds
may be perpetrated with impunity. If we had
the space we might carry the caIcu Iation still
further, aud show that this heavy increase is
in the precincts and townships where the
Democrats have usually polled their strongest
votes and where they control the assessments
and election officers. Bnt without occupying
time to do so, we will merely call the atten-
tion of our readers to the fact that the in
crease of the Democratic vote in Phiade Iphia
is in the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eleventh and
Seventeenth wards chiefly, where the heavy
majorities of the Copperheads came from.

RELIC OF THE LAST CENTURY.-In Nav
last, while workmen were engaged in digging
a cellar on spot formerly occupied by an old
house, situated farm in Montgomery
county. near Phoenixville, and within three
hundred yards OF the banks of the river
Schuylkili, they discovered, at the depth of
two feet, what proved TO be a heavy plated
silver ink stand, about two and a half inches
square, having on the bottom, apartment
screwen thereto, containing a beautifully
executed likeness of q getlemau, set in a fine
gold medallion frame. OF whom the picture
is portrait, or how the same came TO the
locality where it was found, is not known.
Judges who have seen the ink stand state
that the same must have been in the ground
over seventy years. The relic is in possession
of Judge JOSEPH HUNsrcKER

1t is stated that the workmen who have
Crawford's Statue of American Liberty in
charge expect to place it in its position on
the dome of the Capitol by the Ist of Decem-
ber. The scafolding which they have raised
to facilitate their efforts is now seventy five
feet higher than the dome, and as the men go
to and fro upon the beams, they look more like
mice than human bipeds. For the work they
are now performing, the workmen are to re-
ceive double their usual pay and surely no
one will object to the emolument, when the
danger is considered.

The ravages caused by the war in Ten
nessee are thus graphically described ssThere
Is portion of this State devastated by the
civil war as to be practically abandoned by
the foot of man. The men are slumbering at
Shiloh, Corinth and Stone River; the servants
have gained their freedom the women and
children have fed to more remote and quiet
precincts. Falling in behind the retiring foot
steps of humanity come the four footed beasts
and creeping things. The fox makes his
burrow under the ruined dwellings where a
happy people once dwelt. The serpent crawls
under the floor of the church and school house.
The squirrel chatters and builds his nest upon
the locust tree in the old yard, once noisy
with the mirth OF children. The gum is rot
ting in the cool spring-the partridge whistles
from the ridge-poie of the cabin. The wild
bee seeks store-house for his honey, fearless
OF detection by the human eye. All is re-
turning TO a state of nature. What a mon
ument of the ravages of war;"

WILL YOU MEET ME THERE"

Father, when Life's journeys ended,
When Life's weary cares are DER,
VIII your hand be first extended
To receive me ON that shere,
Where no shade of care can hover,
Where no storm of strife can rave.
Where the .'sting of death" is over,
And the ''vict'ry of the grave?'
Shall l see thee, father, standing
Down beside Deaths troubled tide,
When my slender bark is landing
Over on the ''other side 20
Shall feel your arms around me,
When | reach the Heavenly realm.
And the angel guards have crowned me
With the holy diaden!

Here 1t is shown that, with an aggregate
! gain of 29.9ll votes over the great total of
1860, the Union gain is only 6009 while that
OF the Democrats is %. .902. Since that general
rally OF 1860 was made, the State sent into
the field 163 900 soldiers recruited for the
three years service. OF the 2OO, 600 men re-
ported by General Fry as having been dis
| charged tor physical disability, probably one
| tenth were from these l63 ,000 so that hy that
cause some 10000 have been returned home.
Of the $4,000 deserters, perhaps the same pro-
portion were from these 163, 900 men, so that
here are $500 men returned home. The num-
Der OF men sent home in consequence of dis
abling wounds cannot estimate, but il
would be safe to suppose them about 10 900
from this same force. Allowing for the di-
intuition of the force by other Causes perhaps
3O,oOO would altogether cover its returned
men who were permanently at home to vote and
about 5000 still in the service were turloughed
and voted at the late election. making alto
gether less than 10000. Now Of these men
not one in ten voted the Democratic ticket at
the late election this fall, and yet the Demo
cratic vote is increased % ,902. II did not
come from the Union ranks, for the lines have
been very strongly drawn all over the State
anG the changes are Just the other way.
lndeed the statistics of the election show
that the Union party, so far from having lost
any since 1860, has gained in the aggregate.
We poled 263, ,397 votes in 1860, and we poll
ed 269.406 in 1868. Where, then, did the
Democratic increase of % ,902 come from
Ot the 163 900 troops raised in the State for
three years the Democrats must have contrib
uted at least one-fourth, or some 40, 700,
which, taken from their vote of 1860, would
leave about 1S9, 300 remaining voters of that
party. Let US suppose that of the returned
soldiers they had what We have allowed them
above-One in ten still voting with them--that
would be 1000 men, increasing their vote to
l93, 800. Now the natural increase of popu- |
lation would hardly keep up the strength of
the party beyond this figure, when we consid- |
er the steady drain of the male population for
soldiers and sailors, and the far greater drain
of the Democratic ranks caused by the changes
to the Union side. These conversions are |
numbered by thousands, and no one ever hears |
of any the other way.
Above we have the real strength of the |
Democratic party, estimated at about 1913 800 |
\ ct Woodward polled in 1868 no less than |
254, III votes. How is this difference of about |
53,I0O TO be accounted for Unless we be- |
lieve that no Democrats enlisted in the army |
or navy, that no conversions to the Union |
side have taken place, and that the party
strength of 1860 was all at home intact and |
that the increase of population among Demo |
Gratis did not contribute a man to either army
or navy, there is no other way of explaining |
this immense aggregate than by attribnting 1t |
to the most outrageous and systematic frauds |
