Just What the Rebels Asked.

The defeat of the Democracy of Pennsyl
vanis and Ohio is just what jeff Davis and
his rebel leaders asked and prayed for. Their
presses have been, for long time. saying,
"keep down Valandigham and his party IN
the North-give US, rather, men like Thad-
deus Stevens and Charles Sumner; theNfurss
the Union and dees Else it and so do wzs'
Thus the Abolitionists of Pennsylvania and
Ohio have done just what the rebels asked,
and we have no doubt that the elections In
thess two States give quite as much satisfac-
taon to-day, to JEFF, Davis & Co., in Richmond
ss to Abe Lincoln & Co., in Washington.
Rumored Alterations in the Enrolment Act.
WAsHlNGroN, Oct. 20.-There is talk here
in military circles of an early repeal OF one of
che sections of the Conscription Act by the
new Congress that which provides for TEN
poFary exemption by the payment of three
huadped dollars. This will be urged in De
cember, aud it is not improbable that when
the 0sxt draft is made, should the quotas not
DO made up by volunteering. exemption by
the payment Of money will be impossible.
Some persons here advocate new law upon
,this subject, which shall fix the price of e1-
emption Mt high figure, say as high as six
hundred dollars or even fifteen hundred dol,
lars, and stiIl further providing that in any
given district the drafted persons who go in
TO the army shall receive all the money rails
Cd In that district by exemption purchase.
am told on good authority that this idea
originated with Mr.. Chase, and that he urg-
Cd 1t upon the Government some time ago.
Let Tho man who goes to the war have the
neney OF the man who will not 80. Such q
law would provide that no poor man would
be compelled to leave family behind with.

G. Westfall who was present and heard me
at that time, has authorized me to say fol
him, that said no such thing.
1t is fact that there are those who are
80 sensitive, and who are SO addicted ut mis-.
representing the statements of ministers,
that it is very difficult for them to speak the
truth in reference TO them. This is to be
expected Of those who have thrown their
principles to the wind, and who do not scru-
pie to spend Sabbaths in elsctionee ring -
who drink whiskey and employ it for the
purpose Of making political capital, who de-
nounce Sabbath Schools, and ministers, and
all others save those Of like sentiments and
afiinities with themselves. But let me say
to all such, that they make grand mistaks
when they join issue with the ministers OF
the Gospel The American chsrohes have
not so far derogated IN piety aud in intslli-
genee, no to have lost confidence i'm the piety
and integrity Of their ministers. And they
will continue to stand BY them and sustain
them, despite the opposition raised against
them by heartless professors Of religion, and
wicked and unprinciplsc dsmagoguss. and Of
fee seekers. Mark that prediction my dear
sir.
Your apology to the public Cor the AhnsiSe
language which you have employed in yoar
correspondence with me, was perfectly gra-
tuitsus. They are competent to judge Of the
aniasus Of your articles. In conclusion 70.
