Rally Round the ssuare.

Provided the weather is fair, Cleveland's
Public Square will this evening be the
scene Of the finest display it has ever
shown. Torches, fireworks, and illumina-
tions almost innumerable will decorate aud
make beautiful that Park aud its surround
ings, and music will fill the air with its
patriotic strains. Every body is invited ;
the meeting is free to all.
The attractions in the way of speaking
will even surpsss those which appeal to
the eye. Major General sieel will positively
b there 10 speak to his native and adopted
fellow-eitizens. Governor DenRisOn will
also be present to add his elOquence to that
Of the gallant warrior, and other speakers
will also be present to address the vast
thrOng. It will be an occasion long to be
remembered.
Active committees have the work Of pre-
paraion in hand, and will spare no labor
to make il success.

Rally Round the Square, Boys,
Tonight.
The Work Of ChnlIcneers.

We urge upon the men Of the several
wards Of our city, and also of the town
ships, as a work of the very highest i'm
portanoe, the appointment of an efficient
Board of Challengers for the polls. The
omission of this in any ward would be
criminal neglect, for which the Union men
would be entitled to severe reprObatiOn.
Our city viii be flooded with illegal voters :
they will present themselves at every ward
And let there be enough of these chsllen-
gers. There should be at leas. ten in every
ward, selected from the different portions
Of the ward, so that when nan cffors to
vote, some one Of the ten will know him, If
he is an actual resident. Do not let this
matter be neglected, and as the ward
Unionists meet tonight before marching
to the Square, every ward, where this
work has not already been done, should
make it duty to attend to this work then.
Another thing: let these chaIlengers be
careful to ask every question required BY the
statute, ofpersOns challenged.
Judges should carry out the examins-
ton fully, according to the form laid down
in the statute and especially should ad-
minister the concluding oath, which covers
the whole case, and without which it is
questioned whether person can bs con-
victed for illegal voting. Any of the
Judges can challenge. The oath is as fol-
lows:
You do solemnly swear that you are q
citizen Of the United States, Of th7 age Of
twenty-one years; that you have been an
inhabitant of this State for one year next
preceding the election; that you are now
en- actual resident of this township or
ward, and that you have not voted at this
election"

FROM WASHINGTON.
Sentence Commuted--C -Cclored Men
in Washingion--VOters Of Ohio
and Pennsylvania.

WASHINGTON Oetooer j.
To-day, the sentence of death which
was to be executed on private ROwly, of
the 122d New York Regiment was sus-
pended by the President on condition that
the culprit would agree to make up his
lost time by re. enlisting in the army af-
ter the time of the regiment had expired.
The Government has advices that all Of
our men, which Bragg has exchanged,
wounded and all, is q atriAe less than 2 700,
thus greatly reducing the number of pris-
oners.
Large numbers of Pennsylvanians and
Ohioans, left for their respective States to-
day, to vote ct the ensuing election. Some
of the public Offices are perfectly deserted,
by the absence Of the former.
The eolOred Odd Fellows paraded Penn
sylvania avenue to-day. a detachment Of
white soldiers and squad of police es-
corted and protected them 1t is estimat-
ed that 10000 negroes, cOntraband and
all, thronged the streets to see the sight.
They visited the President, Mayor of the
city, and other officials 1t has been quite
q holidsy.
Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1863-10-12

When to-morrow's sun goes down, the
die will have been cast Ohio and Penn
sylvania will have nObly vindicated their
loyal regulations, or will have suffered
eternal disgrace by the elevation to the
highest Office Of men who are Joined heart
and hand with the enemies of the Repub-
lie. It's a solemn time and momentOus
duty that devOlves upon the people of this
State. Let no man deceive himself by the
fiction that this is but LOCAL question, or
one that he can ignore without absolute
guilt Ten, twenty years hence, the second
Tuesday of October, 1863, will be remem-
bered and chronicled as day from whence
dated the chief glory or shame of the
Buckeye State.
Vallandigham is pledged to array the
State of Ohio against the National Gov
erDment, If be is elected He says his
party will not inaugurste civil war. How
can he help it, if be fulfls the promises
he and his followers have made. he has
been tried and convicted as q public enc
my, and been b4nished from Ohio. If he
comes back, he by that very act, defes the
Government Of the United States. He as
serts that IL lis elected he l0iu Be mat
guratsI How can he do this, unless he
arrays himself by force against the power
that sent him forth. He is under the Brit
ish flag, and bossis of the protection Of
that Government How does he suppose
that Government would deal withs trans
ported criminal who should return Of his
local friends should nominate and elect
him to a seat in ParliIment or the dignity
of Msyorality2 Would " Her Msjesty's
Government submit to such defiance Of
its authority or would it assert it's au-
thority and power by permitting such
violation of its laws lie knows that
that criminal would be guilty Of
inaugurating rebellion if he should
land upon Eoglaud's shores and
summon his friends 10 his aid And
any man would be cOnsummate fool who
would lay the blame upon any body beside
the convict himself
Such is Vallandighsm's position to-day,
and he knows, as well as we do, that this
Government would confess itself unequal
to sustain itself if it should adopt any
other course under heaven, except demand
that its sentence against him should be
enforced until tits rescinded.
The loyal citizens of Ohio, who would
therefore avoid the dangers, the cost and
the distress of civil war in our own
S ate, have work to perform in prevent
ing this eonsummstion. Every capitalist,
every taxpayer, every farmer, every Ia
borer is personally and pecunisrily, as
well as patriotieaily, interested in the re.
suit Of the election tomorrow, and every
man who negleets to cast his vote for the
Union ticket may have himself TO blame Il
disastrous results follow.

Governor BTOugh Speaks at the
Square Tonight.
WorlIlr Of CommendatIon

We cannot too strongly commend the
spirit which has prompted the hotel and
saloon keepers of this city to sign the
agreement published elsewhere to close
their bars until o'clock Pm. on the day Of
election. They do this entirely vOlunta-
rily, and, they say, " desirOus of promoting
the best interests of our country, and Of
having an opportunity of spending one
day in its cause" All honor to them.
They have done nobly, and are entitled TO
the hearty thanks of all lovers Of law and
order. The greatest incentive to disturb
ance of the public peace is now removed,
and while we hoped before that the election
in cur city would pass off quietly, we are
now confident of it. The business men Of
Cleveland have done well. We understand
that not single saloon keeper to whom it
was presented, refused TO sign the paper.
This speaks well for Cleveland.

val,indishnm and the Pay of soldiers.

VaIiindigham and the Pay of Soldiers.
Elsewhere we give record of Vallan-
digham as the bills TO increase the pay
of soldiers. A Vallandigham paper says;
"On the 2lst of December, 1852, an eff
fort was made in Congress to increase the
pay Of the soldiers to fifteen dollars a
month. Mr.. Vsllandighsm took an active
part in the movement and proposed to
rake the fifteen dollars PGgabls in gold
Yes, so he did, but he did it for the ex-
press purpose of embarrassing the Gov
ernment, because he very veil knew that
the gold could not be had in sums sufficient
to pay the expenses Of the vast armies
then being marshsled into the field
What would have been the effect of his
amendment? Payments would have been
stopped for the want of the means speci-
fed, and the armies disbanded. This was
what he wanted. As he said in reply to
an amendment to the bill providing for
the building of ironelsds, he "wanted to
embsrrsss the Government" and he could
have resorted to no more efFectual means
Of accomplishing it than by requiring pay
msnts to be made in gold, which the Gov
ernment could not command. 1t was a
despicable and transparent trick.

SPEcIAI DISPATCHES,
FROM GEN. BLUNT.
Particulars Of the Rebel Attack,
70 the Cincinnati Gszstte ]

]
LEAvENwoRTH, Oct. 9.
General Blunt escaped, and was met be-
low Fort Scott BY re-inforeements, which
he took command Of and started in pnr-
suit of Qusntril.
have received the following additional
particulars concerning the attack:
The General was in advance Of the
wagons, and while waiting for them in the
vicinity Of Rounds Camps, he noticed a
body Of one hundred men advancing in
line, who, being dressed in our uniform,
he at first supposed belonged to Ponds
command, on drill, while at the same time
he had some suspicion that they were reb-
els. He had the esc3rt formed in line,
and the band and wagons ordered to the
rear, while he advanced toward them
He had proceeded but short distance
when they fired on him. At the same lime
he heard firing in Ponds command. As
he turned to give the order to fire, he dis
covered the entire escort running from
him. Seeing our men break, the enemy
charged, followed BY about two hundred
others from the timber. With the assist
ance of Major Curtis, the General endeav-
ored to halt and rally the escort, but only
succeeded in OBTAINING fifteen men. With
these he turned on the enemy, who re-
treated. He followed them until they
formed in force, when he halted, with the
determination Of remaining until he could
ascertain the fate Of the escort and Ponds
command. With force of nine men men
he kept firing on their rear until they
moved south, where he joined Ponds COM
maid, which be found safe, with the ex-
ception of a small loss in killed and
wounded.
Csptsin Todd and QusntrilPs Adjutant
had arrived in Ponds camp, asking for an
exchange Of prisoners. He said they had
a number Of their fsrce wounded, among
them Colonel Shelby. Also, that they had
Major Curtis and ten of our men prisoners.
The Band Major was captured, and all the
boys shot throught the head. ouantrilla
forces came out Of Mcdonald County, Mis-
souri,. From Ponds report I learn thathis
company was attacked while at dinner.
Four of Ponds men were killed and three
wounded. The whole number Of killed
from Blunts escort of one hundred men,
was se7enty-eight.

front were hailed by a squad of rebels,
Including one officer of their commissary

were doing q great deal of unnecessary
work, as all we had to do was to sit still
and wait four days and Vicksburg would
be ours.
Yesterday afternoon the rebels opened
briskly for few minutes on MS. intend
ing to drive off our working parties. but
they were silenced in ten minutes. This
afternoon they attem pied the same thing
in front of Steele's division, with like
result They fred occasional shells yes

there is much suffering from lack of prop
or medicines and other sanitary stores.
All citizens now live in caves in the
