The HONG Vote.


1t is all-important to elect Brough
by the home vote. We must not de-
pend upon the vote of the soldiers,
though they will vote for Brough al
most to a man. Bragg may bring on
an engagement with Rosecrans on the
day of the election, which will prevent
the fifty Ohio Regiments and ten bat
teries under Rosecrans from voting,
and thus nearly one-half the vote ofthG
Ohio soldiers would be lost. In coun-
ties where the Copperhead ticket re-
ceives majority of the home vote, they
will likely issue certificates Of election
before the soldiers vote is counted
AT any rate there will be a contest and
considerable trouble wherever they
receive a majority of the home vote
Let every Union man go to work as
though his life.and the salvation of the
country depended upon the home vote

GOTH REGIMENT.
The following letter is from Major

CHATTANOOGA,

CHATTANOOGA, !
Sept. %, 1868, I
DEAR MARY Il am happy to be
able to write you to-day. We have
been in two days fight, Sundays
was the most terrific battle ever fought
on the continent Our regiment was
in all day, both days, and lost about
100. OF this number only 6 were kill
led, the rest wounded and missing
The Adjutant was killed on Sunday
Capt. Caddy of Co. c, was also killed.
We had to withdraw from the field on
Sunday evening under cross fire.
We fell back to Chattanooga, John
Emick was wounded-aiso John'Stray-
er, Sergeant Goss and Joseph Wilson.
Tell Mr.. Emmick that Johns wound is
not dangerous. His arm was broken
between the elbow and shoulder. Lieut.
Sutphen was hit twice, but not injur-
ed, the balls merely breaking the
skin.
Bragg has been largely re-onforced
from Lees army. 1t is claimed by
rebel prisoners that they have from
125,O00 to 100000 troops. We had
about $4,000 when we went into the
fight. Loss heavy on both sides. The
9Oth had the praise of going off the
field in better order than any regi.

IMPORTANCE OF THE OHIO ELEo
TION.

Perhaps there never was in the his
tory of the United States an election
so important as that which will be held
one week from next Tuesday. Ohio,
from its geographical position, is the
neck of the country, and to sever it is
to sever the nation. 1t is bounded on
tho north by Lake Erie and the British
dominions, and on the South by slave
territory. Communication between
the general Government and the great
West is had through Ohio, To and fro
through this State must pass the troops
and army supplies necessary to carry
on the war. Hence the Importance to
the Federal Government of electing q
Governor pledged to sustain the gov'
ernment and the war. Hence the i'm =.
portance to tho rebellion of elscting
q Governor pledged to array the
State against Lincoln and the war;
as Lieutenant Maury says Vallan-
digham is. There is no event to
which the rebels look forward with 80
much anxiety as to tho election in
Ohio. They urged the attack upon
Rosecrans because It would help to
elect Vallandigham, and the holding of
Vicksburg, because as ho informed
them, his election depended upon it,
Not only the rebels, but all the tories,
aristocrats, and enemies Of Republican
institutions ii Europe and in Canada
are looking anxiously to the result of
the Ohio election. They know that in
n great measure there is depending
upon this election tho existence oftrce
government and the question of man 8
capacity for solfgovcrnment. The
aristocrats of Europe have predicted
the failure ofthc American experiment,
and they desire thcsucccss of Vallan.
digham in order,that their prophecy
may be fulfilled. VIII the people turn
against themselves? When the rebels
and all the enemies of THE PEOPLE in
Europe favor the election of ValIandig
ham, is it not an alarming Indication
Does il not indicate that in great
measure the success of the rebellion
and the overthrow ofthc Federal Gov
crnment depend upon his election2
The results of electing Vallandig
ham will be, civil war in Ohio, the sew
erance Of the Nation, the arraying o
the State against the Federal Govern
ment, tho success of the rebellion, tn,
overthrow Of the Government, and tn,
triumph of the aristocrats and mon
arehs ofthc world. Can thepcoplesus
tain man when such results are likel,
to follow from his elcction2 They will
all follow from civil war in Ohio, whicl
follows the election of Vallandigham
The leaders of the Vallandlgham fac
ton in Fairfield county desire civi
war. They proclaim it upon tn
streets and upon the stump, viii tn
people vote their own destruction2
During tho next fortnight there vii
be fought in Ohio a battle, the issue c
which is not less critical and moment
nous than the pending engagement
between Rosecrans and Bragg. On

The Eagle and tho Liberty Township
rtr-ti Meeting. alk
EDIToRs GAZETTE: No little amuse-
ment has been afforded the Union men
by the eSstupendous" report
that the Eagle man" has given thro'
his columns of the Vallandigham meet
ing held near Basil on the 18th. The
Eagles most ardent admirers and
"hOartiestp friends are nonplussed, and
we laugh at their nOnplusity. They
can't see what the editor meant by
"exaggerating' SO outrageously, when
a true statement would have shown n
fair proportioned multitude. But he
had placed too large an estimate on the
crowd at Lancaster on the 9th, and it
would not do for township meeting
of theirs to be outnumbered by coun-
.ty meeting of ours, >" So he has gone
and done it,; lied under a mistake, and
ruined the confidence of his best friends
friends here, who have always claim
ed the Eagle to be the only reliable
sheet published. But now they read
it and shake their heads, muttering
" too bad, too bad" 1t was too big q
pill for. tho "faithful to swallow at
one dose, even if water was offered by
a Union friend to wash it down with;
and all that we can do has failed to
make them I" "suck the yarn" For my
part feel like extending charity to-
ward the editor, and have tried to
frame some excuse for his "outland-
ish " statement. don't think he
done 1T kno,cingly, his eyes were at
fault; they might have seen several
times double, or like the boy in Penn
sylvania, his quiet "mind was all tore
up" and it may be he took "five cent"
ride several times round in the ''fying
swing" which attracted more attention
than the speakers, and counted the
multitude" over every time he mado
the circumference" But if his friends
won't excnse him how could l? and at
the request of several, who, besides
myself made close observations on that
day, send you few items differing
slightly" from the Eagles report.
No one will dispute but it was largo
township meeting. They worked hard
and faithful to accomplish it; and after
all it fell short in every particular Of
the Union meeting held in Pleasant
township some weeks since.
But to the difference-and I think
no ono will say that have under-cs-
timated it in any particular, for I give
tho testimony" of several-and one
of them Democrat-who counted and
made calculations, merely for their own
satisfaction.
To show the "slight" difference, I
will make ledger account of it, char
ging the Eagle with the lowest esti-
mate and giving it credit for the high
est possible number without "stretch-
ing" and your readers will discover
the balance over estimated by the
Eagle, and which can only be balanced
by an "open confession" and "repen-
tance' of the editor Of that one great
SIM or the account will stand open for
settlement on tho over side ofJor-
dan"
