The November Election in PenRsyl.
EiIEania.

The JOY Of the enemies of the Gov
eminent at the alleged decrease in the
Union vote in Pennsylvania, will be
changed into grief when the faH re-
turns from the various military camps
nd hospiatsls have been received. The
Pennsylysnians in Sheridsn's army, it
is reported, were unable TO vote on the
llth, on account OF the active move,
ments in the Shenandoah valley, and
the position Of the two opposing armies
in the Southwest prevented many regis
ments from the Keystone State from
casting their vote but there were
thousands who did exercise the privilege
and of those thousands not one-tenth
opposed the party which has for its war
cry "No dishonorable peace with the
Southern traitors, At the Presidential
election, however, large majority of
the braves will, there is every season
now TO believe, have the opportunity of
casting their votes The Commissioners
will be here in ample time to visit the
different hospitals and regiments, and
the gallant Penusylvanians, who have
during The sangulnary campaigns in
Tennessee, Georgh, and Alabama, stood
side by side with the troops of the
Northwest will be enabled 10 show that
they arc as able and willing to kill the
CopPeTheads With their ballots as they
are the rebels with their bullets. Let
the friends OF the Union in the Key
stone state come9out in their strength
on the Sth Of November ans do their
duty well, and they viii End that their
brethren in arms have nobly seconded
them in their efforts. 10 elect the
standard bearers OF their party. TO the

AutohIograph1 on Genernl scalt.

A. T. Berry & Co, of this city, have
received, and have FOR sale, the autobi-
ography ofLieut Gen. Scorr, which has
just been issued 10y Sheldon a Co, Of
New York. Itis embraced in two vol
umes and is Invaluable TO the military
man. The great military ability, and
varied experience Of the aged veteran,
and the universal esteem in which he
is held by his countrymen, viii make
thisa work sought after by all parties
citizens rs well as soldiers.
As yet, we have had little time TO ex-
anime the work but we have glanced
over that portion which relates to the
early history Of the present rebellion,
and find in il much that has not been
made known, or if made known, for
gotten; and those who wish TO avail
themselves Of important documents in
a permanent form, can do so, by seeur-
ing this work.
The GeneFall devotes considerable
space TO defending himself against GER
tainof his maligners; and he is segefe
on Webster, Fillmore, and Others, and
while we may regret that his work
contains these attacks, it is not hard to
forgive them in one who has done SO
much for his country, and whose patri-
otism is so pure as that Of General
Scott

Negroes Make Good Soldiers 1t is not
BaFharOus TO Arm them.

When the General Government pro
posed to arm negroes, and send them
to the field, the leading copperhead pa
pers exclaimed against the measure, for
three reasons
2. 1t was degrading TO the white sol
der, to put arms in the hands of the
blacks.
2. The negroes would not fight, but
would throw down their arms, and run.
3. The measure was barbarous, and
should be tolerated by no christian com
munity
There are none but remember how
frequently these three points were
urged; and they were placed before
the people in almost every conceivable
shape. The leading journal, and the
one which was most violent in de-
nouncing the General Government, for
the enlistment of colored soldiers, was
the New York Daily News; but all of a
sudden, It falls in love with the negro !;
and why? The reason is because there
has been new piece of music brought
out at Richmond, and as the News nj
ways plays second fiddle" to the rebel
orchestra, il, of course, takes up the
latest secession fandango and PLAYS
away quite merrily Thus says the
News in pursuance of its duty to its re-
bel brethren:
1.-THE slaves Of the South can be made
TO supply an excellent material for in
fantry. Docile and of great physical
strength, they may be converted into 8
soldieTy in six or eight months. Under
command of officers to whom they have
rendered lifelong unquestioning ODE
dience, and to whom they pay an aztec
tionate devotion, they may be moulded
into an invincible machine under the
direction Of man of military genius
Events are moving rapidly toward that
conclusion. Negroes of the South be-
came attached 10 the Confederate ar
mics in the capacity, at first, OF SER
wants. The demand for men increas
ing, they were next admitted by Con
gress to approach the status of soldier
by their employment as attaches Of the
commissariat Recruiting demands
pressing still moro closely on the whites
Of the South, the journals of Rich
mond, falling in with a policy recon-
mended twelve months ago by the Leg
islature Of Alabama or Mississippi, IN
sist now that negroes be sent into the
field to do, in battle, the duties of the
soldier The reserve policy of the Con
federates promises, if the necessity
shall be held to demand such a step, 10
force upon the Federal Government
half dozen additional drafts; for,
once adopted, il will recruit the ranks
Of the South to the extent of at least
three hundred thousand men
4 measure which the copperheads
denounce as cruel, if adopted by the
loyal people, is landed, when adopted
by the rebels A beautiful party, is the
one now calling itself Democratic.

NEC0RDER S COURT, OcL IoJni ioO4.-
Each day brings before this tribunal
new phases of the dark side of life, 1t
embraces scenes and points of interest
that exceed those of any novel ever
written. From the boy, accused of his
first crime, to the gray-haired man
whose days are already numbered, the
range extends, from the fair girl, re-
luctant witness, to the brazen faced wo-
man lost to every sense of shame and
decency that faunts her silks with a
boldness that but causes disgust in the
spectator, all these are seen before the
Judge, on trialfo crimes that seem in
separable from civilization.
Alonzo Kelley. John Niekson (col-
ored,) and Bob Petway (colored,) were
proved to have been drunk. The first
two were fined FIVE dollars each, but
Bob being an old offender, was sent 10
the workhouse till further orders
John Vaughn was drunk and disor-
derby and disgracsd himself by insult
ing a respectable woman. He was fined
twenty FIVE dollars.
Alvin Duke and Mr. Overstreet were
both drunk and disorderly, and were
each fined ten dollars, and Mr.. Duke
admonished that he had better not be
brought before the Court again. 80
Bernard Hunt, Thomas King, John
Ryan and Livingston Raines were also
fined for drunkenness and disorderly
conduct
Abe Tolles, (colored) was fined one
dollar and costs for disorderly conduct
and trying TO keep peace and order in
his own house.
Margaret Thomas and Susan Craig
head, both oolored. were charged with
disorderly conduct in two cases against
each. Margaret Thomas was fined five
dollars in one case and ten in the se-
cond. Susan Craighead was discharged
in one case and fined ten in the other.
Ham Stocked, who showed by his
color that he was lineal descendant
of Ham of old, was charged with disor-
derby conduct, but the evidence did not
sustain the charge and Ham was dis
charged
Henry Cutlery was charged with dis
orderly conduct The complainant was
his wife, who testified that she married
the defendant two years ago in Buffalo,
n. y. Also that he had continually
abused her, that he advised her to 90
into house of ilLfame and that he did
not rest till he made her do that thing
to supply him with money She also
testified that he had very recently
abused her, kicking and beating her so
that she feared for her life. She seemed
much distressed at being compelled 10
testify these things against the man
that she evidently loved, if not wisely,
too we'll lie manifested the utmost
indifference at first, until her testimony
made him angry, when he commenced
to berate her in open Court. TheJudge
very justly fined him fifty dollars, and
expressed the regret that he could not
double the amount
James Mcbride and 6. Ii. Cotton
were charged with stealing, or receiving,
knowing them to be stolen, two quilts
and one blanket from Mrs Morgan.
The proof was positive, and they were
ordered to give bond in the sum of
500 for their appearance at the next
Criminal Court or in default, be COM
mitted TO Jail to await their trial
This comprising all the business, the
Court adjourned.

what TFo6bIes the Rebels.

We have already given toour readers
the sources Of annoyance to the rebel
leaders, as they were depicted by JEFF
Davis; and we now propose TO let the
Richmond papers "speakout IN meet
ia on the same subject, During the
excitement consequent on Buffers adj
vance, north Of the james, The people
did not respond 10 the call TO srms with
any grea. alacrity. Accounts of how
men fled into closets. dc, to hide
themselves are amusing, yet papers
of Richmond are filled with them,
which shows that the chivalry are not
80 full of fight as formerly. The Seah-
nel says in encouragement to those per-
sons who shall resolve 20 do better next
time 80 We hope the lesson thus
taught will be remembered on the merit
Occasion-for we may continue % took for such
and that we shall prove TO De minute
men in all coming alarms. It viii be
noble to see whole population acting
thus braFely and patriotically-it aciH be
an unendprable disgrace To such as may hide
among he garplents Of ladies' aQardrotes, as
some are reported TO have done on the
late occasion. Nay some are said 70 be
thus hdaUqy yso,0-shame on their white
livers!"
But this is not the only source Of an
noyance which gals the rebel leaders
The Richmond editors cease to charge
the Yankees with pillage and robbery,
and are hurting their maledietions at
their own men. The Enquirer says that
with the utmost impartiality they rob
friend and foe alike
"They have been known to strip
Virginia women of all they had, wild
ows, whose sons we're in our army, and
then to burn their houses. At Hancock,
in Western Maryland, they stopped a
minister of the gospel in the street on
the Sabbath day, and made him stand
and deliver his watch and money.
These monstrous truths are stated in
the official report of the officer com
mandinga part Of these cavalry forces.
Do you wonder, then, that
| McCauslands and Bradley johnson s
commands, just returned from such an
expedition and loaded down with plum
der, should have been disgracefully
surprised and dispersed IS they were
some weeks ago near Moorefield
As for the officers, of course dey don
steal, they are too much of gentlemen"
for that, but they have q very gentle
manly affection for their toddy. The
same authority says -
Officers Of high position, yes, Of very
hiyh position, have, 10 aGSe an honsst English
,eora, been drunk, too drink 10 command
themselves, much less an army, diVisio1l, a
brigade, or regiment And where Off
GERS in high command are in the habit
of drinking to excess, we may be sure
their pernicious example viii be follow
ed by those of lower grades.
The Georgia papers say that the
people of that State had far more to fear
from the rebels while retreating, than
from Sherman army while advancing ;
and the Richmond papers charge that
the rebel troops in the Valley were
beaten because all-ofhcers as well as pri-
vates--were drunk. Beautiful pictures,
these, cfthe high toned chivalry as they
are drawn by native artists!
