From q SOLDIER.

We have received the following lette
from the hands Of Mr.. Scott Nelson
which we take the liberty of publishing
Let everybody read it:
WHITE RIVER, ARK, Oct. I'd, '6f
Mr. ScoTT NELsoN-Dear Sir: You
will doubtless be surprised on receiving
this, but supposing you had still some in
a little time in advising you of our where
abouts &C. We are at present camping
st the mouth of White river, where we
have been for some time, and expect to
remain here until we leave for Ohio,
which will be sometime next month. We
have really been what is termed fortunate
since you left us, but as you are probably
aware of our move ments since then, it
would be useless to recount them. Two
months more will fill out the blank (for
such it has been to me, at least, so far as
certain things are concerned), and then
farewell to the military forever, l hope.
Three years has. In feed seemed a long
time, but if | could see in them the saliva
tion of my country, the restoration OF.
the Union, 1 should feel amply repaid for
all; but this l fear can never be accom-
plished under the present dynasty. (for it
is nothing else); its policy is no longer
Union and fraternity, but emancipation
and determination /; it is visible 10 all
their actions and boldly proclaimed by
their followers. Popularity is the god Of
the leaders. and they are exhaustins every
means within their power to secure to
them another four years of plumber, ruin
and desolation, and L AN ~fearfully anxious
for the result. 1 have supported them
for the last four years, not because I on
dorsed their proceedings, but because l
recognized in them the lawful authority
Tor the time being. Now that the proper
time has come for opposing them, [ can
do it most cheerfully. Perha,s you are
curious to know how they are working to
secure votes in the coming election /; their
object is to instill a feeling Of hatred into
the mind of the soldier against the Dem
ocratic party in general. One would
think, to hear them talk, the Democrats
were the worst men that aver lived-per-
pose the interest of the soldier in every
thing they do they even go so far as to
say that a soldier is not, safe where they
are, and that in the event Of their attain
ing power, hostilities must Immediately
cease, ours armies be Withdrawn from
Southern territory, our blockade raised
along the coast then if the South are
willing to come back they may come, if
not they can go. 1 might tell you much
more If l felt like writing, but this will
give you an idea of their ly,ng PAGERS,
md that is enough. l find a great many
who dislike Lincoln, but are deceived as
to the intentions Of Mcclellan, if elected.

ARMY TICKETS. Those who have
friends in the army should lose no time
in sending them tickets. The time is
short, and every soldier should be sup
piled with a ticket in orier that he may
have a voice in elevating to the highest
Office in the gift of the people, the best
soldier and general of the age. Tickets
can be had at the Union Office at any and
all times, and there,is no reason for any
soldier being without one if his friends
will only do their part. Let the people
be vigilaot, for the enemy is at work
through their committees and emissaries
to defeat the honest voice of our brave
soldiers in the field.

FRAUDS.

We, last week, warned Democratic vo-
tiers against fraudulent tickets that might
be distributed by the Atolitionists who
seek victory at all hazards. Since then
the election has taken place and has pro
ven our prediction true. 1t is absolutely
certain that the opposition had printed
and circulated a set of bastard Democrat
ic tickets. with Hoods and Beers names
inserted instead of Browns and Gates.
These tickets were printed on similar pa
per to the genuine with this difference.
that the names in the form were wide
enough apart to insert another name to
suit the voter.
1t is evident that these frauds were
~concoeted by and for the benefit of a Ger
tain hole down street, managed, controlled
and supported By a set of illiterats vii
lians, who would betray their Savior for
thirty pieces of silver. The object is gain,
in a pecupiary sense, at the risk and SIC
riice of the sacredness of the ballot-box
Their hungry maws are crnnped aud
withered with their long starvation, and
now they seek relief by fraud, as the hun
cry thief seeks to relieve starvation or a
scanty pocket, By high-handed robbery
and piracy.
It is time that people would learn that
to commit such cutrages upon the rights
and common sense of community, they
eau only be done where self.interest
prompts them. We are tired of seeing
attempts made to gull homes. voters, and
would say once more, mark the men here.
after who engage in it. 1t is thievery,
robbery and the most unmitigated charac-
ter of land-piracy Beware of such van
dals in all circles hereafter.

e A mob of God and Liberty
Abolitionists seized and destroyed the
ballot-box at Tod Barracks on last Tues
day, because about nine tenths of the SOL
diers manifested q determination to vote
the Democrat ticket. These are the
Intervals who call themselves the friends
of the soldier. The villainous ~seoundrels
ard irreligious libertines ought to be
dealt with according to the Constitution
and laws formerly in force, and if the
soldiers do their duty, there will be a sig.
nal redress o f this grievance.

Bsr The Montgomery towrship Dem.
ocratic Club was addressed on last Satur.
day night, a week ago, by Hon. B. Burns,
of Mansfield. The Court House was
crowded to its fullest capacity, and there
was a feeling of g .neral satisfaction at the
able and unanswerable effort of Mr.. Burns
to show why abolitionism should be crush
ed at the ballot box and Democracy re-
stored to power. Mr. B. is an able advo-
cate of Democratic principles.
