another Most FIasfGHt Outrage.

H Editor: On last Tuesday morning.
October llth, 1861, being the dav OF the
General Election, when every freeman has
a right 10 exercise that much bossed priv
IleSe, the elective franchise. When already
one OF The Election board Of Benton twp.
Columbia County, was in the Government
service as a volunteer. and another arrested
and taken to Fort NJ film, the third and last
was arrested and taken 10 The Military
Camp on E~i~hingcreek, and there detained
until nearly night, when it vas ascertained
that he had commiied no ofense and was
released. AtIhe opening of the Election
the Aooiitionlsts made a grand rally with
a view OF selecting {. full Republican board
but on counting noses, found themselves 10
The minority, aud were obliged 20 vote un-
Ger a Democratic board, with no chance Tor
fraud.

ouirages, and whose newspaper heading

Facts and FIgurss for the PeopIe.


Under a Democratic administration, farm
ers, mechanics and laboring men, who
work hard for their money, could buy good
coffee at twelve cents per pound, good SUI
gar at eight cents per pound, aud good syr-
up at Twelve and fifteen cents per quart.
Under he miserable Republican adminis>
traiion that has turned everything upside
down in this country, these hard working
people have 10 pay 6ity.fve cents for cot
fee, thirty Tor sugar, and forty for syrup I!
These and other articles that are needed 10
every house cost four times as much now
as they did when The government was ad-
miaistered by the Democrats.
But it will be said that the farmer gels
more for his flour, and the mechanic and
the laboring mau get higher wages, than
they did under Democratic rule. This is
true. But the farmer dom get lour times
as much for his wheat, nor does the me-
chanic for his days work. Therefore The
rise in prices is unequal and operates -
chanic and the I~aboring mau.
When wheat was one dollar and coffee
twelve and a half cents, one 5ushel of
wheat would buy eight pounds Of coffee.
But with wheat at two dollars and a hall,
and coffee at hhy-6ve cents, a bushel OF
wheat will buy but little owe. four pounds
OF coffee. And so with wages. The man
who got one dollar under Mr.. BUcB4NaN's
ad administration, could ony nearly twice as
much coffee sugar, syrup and muslin with
tie proceeds Of his days labor, as can be
bought by The man who gets two dollars a
day under Mr. LINCOLN.

The Columbia County Outrage.

II will be recollec.ed that weeks ago forty
five citizens Of Columbia county were hur-
RED through this city to Fort Miffliu by the
war powers OF Lincoln. A large force of
soldiers had been sent TO that county 10 put
down an organized resistance to The con-
scription, but il does not appear that there
was any attempt or design of the sort, for
the men who were arrested were all taken
at their homes, in the night, we believe,
unarmed and unsnspicious of harm.
These victims OF Federal tyranny were
hurried of without any preparation, with
out sufic ent clothing, and without being
allowed 10 make any arrangements for the
support OF their families. As a conse-
quence of Ills and OF The great destruction
of property and large consumption OF food
in that locality, by the eight hundred troops
retained there Till a few days ago, a large
section OF the country is completely impov-
erished. Many families have been stripped
of everything in the shape OF food aud
necessaries, and are completely destitute.
