Honest Voting mUST be Enjoyed

&-OA-st sOt-Ao A-SSA VIC GAJVJco :
The recent attempt at Sholess.e fraud
in the army vote Of New Yotk-aud tie
rejection Of soldiers votes in Pennsylva-
nia-bsye created healthy PuLlic indis-
Laiion, most advantageous, We tTu.', TO
the Union cause. Every homes; H'Cle,-
Ian man must scorn any way TO e!ec, hin
but ty fair vote.
a CofpeIhesi speaker 10 LeEisburg
declared iha, the Union party had eom-
mitied similar frauds in Indiana, aud that
it wss roue Of the Presidents business,
apyb5z-Gov. Seymour could al Z would
care .9r tie New York soldiers.
To which We reply
l. There is not one word Of proof Of
Union frauds in the Indiaua election.
Ouly Iudiana soldiers voted, aud the polls
books will dstee. the Illegally Of any,
The vote is less than it was il 1860.
Frauds are Gl'e;ed 10 have been commit,
ted to Ie-elect Voorhees,, which Congress
wi! decide upon, after Voorhees, takes bis
seat.
2. Coz. Seymour did MT stop tie IL
famous Ne. York riots. The Us. troops
bad to shoot down scores Of Seymour's
.-:riends" before peace was restored. As
to the frauds, Seymour Is trying 70 help
his agents who committed the wrong, aud
no, to punish them. While they are IN
the L. : service, President Lincoln does
well to protect the brave meu (Hho are
trying to save the life Of the uslion) in
the precious boon OF voting, The great
Napoleon hung Up scamps who imposed
poor food upon his soldiers, and Jackson
had men shot who were trying TO create
disafse,ion 10 his camp. Imprisonment
for life is a mid punishment: for selt-cou-
fessad rascaliiy Ike this.

Free Trade platform, which WAS very IN.
popular. To couu,erac. it, he wrote a
Tariff letter to Jud ge Kane, aud was elee-

the Tariff Of l5i2" His Platform and
his Letter disagreed, but the people were
made to believe be would follow his letter
and "spis on the platform" They were
cruelty deceived.

United States Government, which will
render IL impossiblofor it 10 pay the army,
the consequent outbreaks md mutiny OF
the troops of which that army Is composed,
and the prospects of an imminent politi-
cal revolution, resulting from the malad-
ministration OF the Government, and the
conflicts OF exasperated partisans for the
great prize of the Presidency.
Thus Grants prospects are byno means
brilliant, and, notwithstanding his zeal
Gus efforts to produce the contrary, opin.
ion both at home and abroad, are, it Is be-
lieved, al its last ebb. Should he cross
over to the Sonthside. with his whole
force, 1t is obvious, that he will expose
Washington, Philadelphia and the other
cities, whose Notifications have already
been stripped Of men in order to fill up
the ranks of his depleted army, to the
danger of an immediate and successful
attack. Hewill probably, therefore, con-
clude TO summer it on the peninsula,
where his army can be supplied with pro-
visions, but where they will be likely to
be swept off, in large numbers, by the dis
eases of the climate. tt
Congress has again, finding it impossi-
BILE to get through its important business,
rescinded its resolution to adjourn, and
has resolved to extend the session till
next Tuesday. The everlasting subject
OF impressments was again before the
House last evening, and capital speech
was made on the occasion by the Honora-
BILE Mr.. Singleton, Of your State. Messrs.

At an early hour this forenoon Q party OF
the enemy reached the Richmond and Pc
tersbury railroad aud destroyed portion
Of the track at Port Walthal Junction. A
train Of cars which left Pocahontas Depot
to convey troops had 10 return. !. The tele-
graphic Communication with Richmond
is unbroken.
The utmost confidence reigns through
out all classes of our citizens. Petersburg
is safe from the fercest assaults OF the
enemy. 1t ID unnecessary 70 make any
farther allusion to our means OF defence,
which are amply sufficient for all emer-
gencies. The delay of transportation be-
tween here and Richmond will soon be
remedied, and even il there is delay OF q
few days IL will avail the enemy but very
little.
Ten CLOCK p. m.-We have just learn
ed that from 1900 70 1900 prisoners have
been taken. An instalment of 4O3 has
just passed up town, 50 much is certain.
We take the balance due upon trust.
A heavy cannonade is still in progress,
and occasionally with sharp musketry.
Soldiers from the front state, upon our
advance the enemy abandoned the en-
-trenchments which our troops immedi-
ately occupied. The enemy seemingly
regretting their precipitate retreat, made
several endeavoFs to retake them, but
were repulsed and severely punished. A
large number surrendered after very little
resistance,
A shell from the enemy's batteries ex-
ploded in Blanford this afternoon, and
killed q negro woman belonging 10 Mr.. A.
s. Shafer.
II O'Clock p. m.--The last arrival from
the front states that the enemy is yet in
possession of Battery No.-9 and that
Batteries and & are uLoccupied by either
parties. The enemy has suffered fear
fully, and on our side the loss has not
been small; but all is guess woikat pre-
sent.
There are eleven commissioned officers
in the first batch of prisoners. The pri-
Yates seem very much tagged, but very
saucy. t,ne Offered to bet 800 that Grant

of Lee, TO defeat Grant, and that business
is going on as usual.

D0- The author Of concise account
OF the seige Of Vicksburg, published in
the Mississippian last summer, comes out
in card in that paper, to correct state
ment then made by him, that Judge
Springer charged thirty dollars per bushel
for corn during the seige. The report
was very current at the time that the
Judge charged twenty dollars for the
corn and ten for grinding it. In conse-
quence Of the report hand mill was put
in running order in Springfield, and an
announcement made in the, Evening Cit
izen, that the public could use the mill
free of charge, which hundreds done.
We are glad to see however, that the re-
