WHEELING, Oct. l3, 1863.

Before concluding, Ienquire, Wherein have
l misrepresented Mr.. Hubbard or his plat
form2 Or, wherein have done him wrong
Or, wherein is my confessed guilt shown =?
So far from coniessing any thing, or my
publication showing any guilt, think it is
plain did not misrepresent him, or bear
false witness against him, when |, under
the name of "Americus," published chat
Mr.. Hubbard would have unconditional
submission or determination on the part of
the South But the question very natu-
rally and fairly occurs, if he did not mean
so, why does he not say so. | made this
same suggestion to him in my letter, which
is here published, yet he piles obloquy upon
me for saying he was for unconditional
submission or discrimination while he him
self so refuses or declines to say that he is
not in favor of demanding unconditional
submission or extermination." Under these
circumstances, is it unreasonable to request
him in plain words to declare what was his
meaning?
Were here to represent that Nj. III. was
hostile to the Federal Constitution, or tha
he thought it was an unWO,thy one, 1t Is
probable he would set me down again as one
who bears false witness. But part of his
platform which is here re-published, reads {:
:'The welfare of the whole country demands
that the future policy Of the National Gov
ernment shall be free, and not slavery"
urges for labor, sustained By the Holy
Scripture, "The laborer is worthy of his
hire" as the ONLY DOCTRINE WORTHY Of a
Republican Institution, the surest guaranty
Of civil liberty, and the ONLY safe basis OF
Democratic Republic"
If this is not condemnation of the Fed
eral Constitution, what is it? For that in
strument (Which he and |, have times aud
times again sworn TO support,
and under which [ AM willing to
live-for what was good enough for Wash
ington is good enough for me) expressly re-
cognizes the axistence Of Slavery and the
duty of protecting it, in providing for the
surrender of runaways.
Mr.. Il. has assailed me. Suffer me in
turn, reader, to be the assailant. Has he
not borne false witness against me? Nay,
more-has he not borne false witness
against the bond of our Federal Union and
Government? When he says, that s gov
ernment pitto,t slarery is the only one
worthy Of Republic, does he not by ne
cessary implication, declare his hostility to
the Federal constitution. and that it is an
unworthy one?

ATALE OF BLOOD!
Particulars of Blunt's Escape!
CARTHAGE, MISSOURI, BURNED +!
Especial Despatch to the Missouri Democrat

Especial Despatch to the missouri Democrat
LEAYENwoRTH, Oct. 9. {
General Blunt has escaped, and was met
below Fort Scott by renforcements, which
he took command of and started in pursuit
of Quantril. +-e--
| have received the following additional
particulars concerning tho attack.
The General was in advance of the wag.
ons, and while waiting for them in the vi
cinity of Ponds camp, he noticed body et
100 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 sus
picion they were rebels.
He had the escort 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 time he heard
firing at Ponds camp. As he turned to
give the order to fire he discovered the en-
tire escort running from him. Seeing our
men break the enemy charged, followed by
about 200 others from the timber
With the assistance of Major Curtis, the
General eudeavored to halt and rally the
escort, but only succeeded in OBTAINING tif-
teen men. With those he turned on the
enemy, who retreated. 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
of Ponds command. With force of nine
men he kept firing in their rear until they
moved south, when he joined Ponds COM
mand, which he found safe, with the excep-
ton of small loss in killed and wounded.
Captain Tod, Quantrips Adjutant, has ar
rived in Ponds camp, asking for an ex-
change of prisoners. He said they had a
number Of their force wounded, among them
Col, Shelby; also, that they had Major Cur
tbs and eleven Of our men prisoners. The
drum major was captured and all the boys
shot through the head.
Quantril's forces came out of Mcdonald
county, Mo. From Ponds report, learn
that his camp was attacked while at din
ner. Four Of Ponds men were killed and
three wounded.
The whole number of killed from Blunt's
escort of 100 men was 78.
Shoneld has telegraphed here that Iorce
of from 900 to 5000 men, under Quantril,
Coffee, Gordon and Hunter, are marching
to Fort Scott.
A special messenger from Blunt has just
arrived. He says the body of Major Cur
It's, son of General Curtis, has been found
He was thrown from his horse, shot through
the head, and evidently murdered after he
was prisoner, as well as the rest.
Lieutenant Farr, of the Sd Wisconsin,
was killed.
A letter from Captain Inslay to Captain
Tholcn, dated Fort Scott, DC ober the 8,
says there was rebel force at Carthage this
morning, and burned the town. All of

Another Guerrilla Raid-Dep.
relations at Bailey's Croas
Roads. Fall's Church and
MunsOn's Hill.

/ The Washington Star of Saturday SAYS !:
About ten o'clock last night party OF
mounted guerillas appeared at the house
and store of VIM. Paine, at Bailey's Cross
Roads, and raped at the door, the family
having retired, Milton Paine, SON of VIM.
Paine, opened the window, when three Of
the gang, with pistols drawn, told him 10
let them in and "hand over the green
backs =.
On being admitted they robbed him Of
$50 money, and took all his best clothing.
They then went up stairs where Mr. Paine
was sleeping, and after making some search
went away, happily for Mr.. Paine, failing to
notice his gold watch and small box near
his bed containing $500 in money. e
The same party or Others visited Faps
Church last night, it is reported, and
amongst other depredations robbed a man
named Irwin of 500.
At Munson's Hill they captured Daniel
Munson, we hear, but he got away from
them during the night ...t,
They showed no little boldness in their
dePredations, as Baley's Cross Roads is
within three miles Of Fort Richardson;
and other points visited by them are also
in close proximity to our lines. The gutr-
rillas wore gray clothes and slouched hats.

FKoN THE HAgTT oF THE THISC.-A
Boston paper, speaking Of the high price OF
coal this fall, makes use Of the following
remarks which isequalIy applicable to many
of cur readers
'It behooves families aud Others using
fuel te be more and more careful Of their
fuel expense Thousands OF tons OF coal
are carelessly and though tlessly burnt da-
ring the year from the mere habit OF the
thing"
There is scarcely family using coal that
with little care, could not realize oil the
necessary heat and usefulness for household
purposes with at least ts enty per cent, less
coal. When coal was delivered at cost
Of four or Eve dollars per ton, the price was
so low as TO encourage improvidsnt habits
in its use, which, at present prices Of fuel,
are felt to be most onerous tax.

Certain Cure for Diptheria.
SCorIyIILE. KV.. Oct.

see diptheria is raging at Stratton, Yer
mont. This disease occasionally breaks out
in different parts of the country, and as
often battles the skill Of physicians. 1 have
seen remedy used successfully in many
cases, and write to give it to the public
1t is this: Keep fat bacon, well salted,
applied to the throat, and use gargle OF
salt water often. Apply also iodine to the
infected part four or five times each day by
means of small sponge mop. A cure is
almost certain. Iodine is also specific fol
srysipelas, which is the same, l think, a:
diptheria, except that it is outward. These
diseases both ragged here to an alarming
extent some months back, and the iodine
proved an excelleat remedy.

the published sentiments of candidates for
/ Congress in the State of West Virginia.
Rightly considered, they are, greatly fear,
higher evidence of the condition of the
mind, than they are of that of the candli
| dates themselves, however damaging they
may be to them. u
I Candidates may feign sentiments they
neither feel nor entertain. Men, strange as
it may seem, will at times, when in hot
pursuit of success, present themselves worse
than they really are. But it is not often
that aspirants and candidates for Office mis-
take the state of the public mind, OF the
direction in which it is drifting, though for
the honor of our holy religion and the glory
of Christ, trust they are grossly and eyre
giously erred in the present instance.
One of the candidates, Mr. L., seems to
call upon the mighty deep, to sweep every
living thing in the South into the gulph of
destruc ruction-which, in plain speech, is
nothing less than calling upon God to do
stroy them. Of course he would not call
upon the Almighty to do that he would not
himself do.
Another, Mr.. Hubbard, will have uncon-
ditional submission or determination of the
whole of the white race of the South-yes,
determination complete and entire. Such
men must, as matter of course, when On
their knees before their Maker, feel that
such destruction is a eonsummation to be
devoutly prayed for. And to accomplish
this high purpose, Mr.. II. assures his read
ers that no sacrifice on the part of the
North would be too great.
And should it so happen that any of our
brothers and kinsmen South should survive
the subjugation of that accursed land. he
contends Trey shall be made to pay the
whole expense of the war, and give an ade-
quate guarantee for the future. This, when
seen in the formula of plain speech, is no.
thing less than absolute poverty aud per-
sonal and individual slavery of the whole
white race of the South, who may be so un-
fortunate as to survive his pious and holy
In view of such sentiments coming from
Christians, or professed ones, who is there
that will not say, with one Of old time, Put
me in the power of God, but not in thatssof
man.
In view of these things, appeal to every
candid mind, whether we ought not to Sc
riously inquire in what consists our Chris
tianity or wherein are we better than
Turks and Pagans AMERICUs.
