THE FALL ELECTIONS.

Intwe1ye Of the loyal States elections
are to take place this fall. ahd these polit-
ica1 campaigns will be important aud ex-
citing, both from their. Immediate issues,
and in that they will be understood to
the Presidential election
next year. In tiye.of these States, to-wit:
California, Delaware, Maryland, Vermont
and West Virginia the elections include
the choice Of members Of the next Con-
gress, fourteen Of which remain to be cleo
ted. Manifestly, upon these latter cam.
paigns turns the question as 10 whether
the Administration win find harmonious
Congress working with it for the sup
preston Of this rebellion. The enemies
of the Government, disheartened BIZ the
aspect in the field, are lending every influ-
ence to carry as many Of these State cleo
lions as possible, for the opposition Of
which VIC must be prepared to assume
an open and bold front. The States
in which elections are to be held are
California, Delaware, Iowa, Maine, Massa-
chusctts. Minnesota, Michigan, New York,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Wis
consin. Let every loyal man grid on h,s
ar1nor for the closest and most dangerous
part Of the present struggle, Of which the
North is to be the theatre, and the weapon
the ballot Let every man study carefully
the combinations now forming in all these
States, and note on which side men of IN
doubted disloyalty are ranging themselves,
q sure token Of the nature Of their expcc-
tations

rGood for the Girls of AshlzuI1.
Correspondence Of the Chicago Tribune.l


AsHKuH1 ILL.,, Aug. II, 1858.
This morning some half dozen Copperheads
congregated around the liberty pole, In this
Village, and with shovel aud spade In h1na,
soon hurled It to the ground They, with the
aid Of carpenters tools, undertook to mike
Hhat they termed crane, for the suspension
OF raising Of weights. They had not, howev-
er, proceeded far in their new enterprise be-
fore delegation Of young Misses, from eler-
en- to- eighteen years Of age, five in MI, took
them by surprise. The youthful besiegers de-
manded possession Of the pole, which Was
promptly refused and resisted by one Of the
gung; the balance fed in disorder. The re-
remaining one found bis resistance unavail-
Ing, when the flight became general. The
beaiege1s took possession Of the works and
removed the upper section Of the pole and
employed help aud raised it, and the Stars
md Stripes now wave at Its head There is
no doubt but machine like the one com.
menced by them might be needed, but If
such Is tho case, these Copperheads would
occupy the position Of Haman. What right
hare they to take down aatgpole placed
upon the Common and appropriate It's timber
to their oTn use? But they say 1t was an
eye sore to them-theY could not bear the
eight fit.
Tie fact is, the Union people here had TO-
Gently purchased q very large flag OF the
latest style and the largest in the county, in
pairs could he nadc to the place. The pole Is
n good order. Tlis National Flag WAS really
the eye-sore to these Coppcrheads. That's
what the matter with them.

The order Of the Secretary Of War di-
1ccting that three prisoners from South
Carolina be placed in. close confinement
md held as hostages for three colored
sailors captured on board the gunboat
Isaac Smith, and incarcerated in Charles
ion JAIL puts the question Of the treatment
Of soldiers Of African descent on the right
footing. Apractical test is now presented
10 jeff Davis d Go. 4 cup is furnished
for their drinking, from Which they can
drain ali the torment and blood they have
stomach for. These three colored seamen
were captured as long ago as last January
The crew Of the Isaac Smith were speed
ily exchanged and gent home, but the
three negroes, though born in the State OF
New York, Of free parents, were thrust
into Charleston Jail, and have been kept
there till the present time, il, indeed, they
have not died Of their treatment, or been
sold inty slavery. "An eye for an eye,
and,a tooth for TOOTH" is exactly the
medicine for such cases, and It the rebels
believe aa they allege, that their eyes and
their teeth are better than those Of Union
soldiers, white or black, it will become
them to show their faith by awarding to
prisoners OF war the the treatmeut pre-
scribed by civilized nations. 1t is for
A1e,n to make their selection. If they
choose to hang, cnslayc and imprison,
sthereis material enough to work On to,
the present; and there will be fewer priso'

The reader has already been apprised
that meeting OF the Union men Of Iii
nois will be held at Springfield On the Sd
Of September. It is designed to be the
largest and grandest gathering Of the loyal
peop1e ever known in this State, or in the
Northwest. The right men-because pa
niotic and energetic-are making the ar
rangements. The time is well chosen.
The farmers in nearly all parts Of the State
Eill be relieved Of most Of their private
duties, as the splendid harvests will then
be nearly all gathered, and they Will have
little to think Of but their countD-little
to do but to give support, by their pres
cnce at the forthcoming meeting, to thepa-
triotic cause, We learn that large delega-
lions will represent all the towns in the
northern and central portions Of the State;
and the attendance from the Southern
counties will astonish such men as imagine
that Egypt = is wholly gone over to the
enemy. Fifty thousand men should, and
doubtless will, meet at the place and On
the day named, to then and there pledge
the State and the National Governments
their support in every way that nny be re-
uuired. Let not The number fall short OF
this figure. It would not surprise anybody
if seyenty-dye thousand people shall as
semple, for that Illinois is loyal and intends
to crush out Coppcrheadism, there is nc
