The Vote In PennsyIvania.

The recent election in Pennsylvania re-
suited in an amendment to the Constitu-
ton so as to allow soldiers to vote. The
Erie Dispatch says of it:
By this vote, Pennsylvania sends greet
ing to the soldiers in the field. She has
declared in language that will be heard all
over the Union, that the soldier is citizen,
and whether he fights upon the field OF on
the far-of seas, his heart will thrill with
new pride for the love aud faithfulness OF
those who have remembered him at home.
All honor to the noble Keystone for her
proud action of Tuesday-an action in
which men of all parties participated,
crowning with their votes result more no
bic and glorious than partizan victory ever
achieved.

Burning of Letcher,. HOUSE

The Washington. Star of Monday tells
why Governor Letcher's house was burn
ed:
t'On the arrival of General Hunters
troops at Lexington, the residence of Gov
enor Letcher, was cared for and protected
by his order as was all other private prop
erty in that town. After being there two
days there was discovered in a deserted
printing-ofice manuscript proclamation,
written and signed by John Letcher, which
had been set up, exhorting the citizens Of
the town and country to assassinate our
troops from behind trees, bushes, etc
This discovery so incensed General Hunter
and his army that he ordered the destruct-
ion of Letcher's house."

Gen. R. ?. Buckland, who was placed in NOM
ination at the Convention at Monroeyille on Fri
day last merits and will receive the mostcordial
support Of the Union men ofthis District
Though we had anticipated and expected diff
erent result, in the nomination of the unanimous
choice of the delegates from Erie county, we
shall yield the most cordial and hearty supper;
to Gen. Buckland. He is well known TO the
people of this District, having in 1866 most
ably represented portion of it in the State SEN
ate and having been in active military service
for the past three years. Though largely en-
gagged in business he did not hesitate to make
the sacrifice of patriotism and after being main
" instrumental in the organization of the I'D
o. v. /. went with it TO the field as Colonel
He has continued in active service ever since
having been promoted more than year ago to
Brigadier General, and for some time past
commanding at Memphis.
Gen. Buckland is man of excellent busines.
qualifications, large ability, the most untiring
industry and as faithful to the obligations Of
duty as any man living. He is the soul Of hon
or, Of incorruptable integrity and fully informed
as to the needs and necessities of the time. He
will make an able, efficient and most excellent
members of Congress, one of whom the District
and State may well be proud OF his triumph
ant election we will not allow ourselves for one
moment to doubt That man who has remain
ed at home and done all he could to defeat the
Union cause should be elected, over one who
has offered his life to his country and faced rebel
bullets, would be disgrace beyond words to
express.
We hope there will be immediate and efficient
organization of Union men through the District
If Gen. Buckland is not here 70 canvass the
District; he is in the line of his duty, and should
only therefore receive the more cordial and ac-
tive support. If he should not speak tothe 10y
al people, he is speaking by his act to rebels,
and should only thereby be the more dear to the
people at home. The District has been disgraced
long enough by one who, lacking the patriotism
to be an honest and loyal man, has not even the
courage to range himself wherehe belongs, with
the peace Democrats, or peace traitors Of the
North. When Hon. W. P. Noble is super
seded by Gen. R. p Buckland the people OF
this District may well rejoice with exceeding
joy.-SondLsAg Register

Censre-ui.nal Nomination.

The Union Convention in the 9th District,
held at Monroville on Friday, nominated Gen.
r. p. Buckland, of Fremont, for Congress, to
succeed the Hon. W P. Noble, Democrat. The
Convention was harmonious, and although there
were several candidates, the earnest support
of all was pledged to Gen. Buckland. There
will be no divisions in the Union ranks in the
District, and Gen. Bucklands election we think
may be regarded as "fxed fact" No man is
more deserving. He was mainly instrumental
in the organization Of the led o. v. l., went with

We have late news from the front relative
to the McCook raid, of the most gratifying
character. About l, 200 of his men reported
to headquarters in squads, and the General
himself reached headquarters yesterday
with 1900 more men, leaving but 500 ab-
sent; and others are still coming It is be-
ieved his loss will scarcely reach 700.
Over 500 wagons were destroyed to-
gether with two railroad trains, and loco
motives, and 500 mules werekilled, before
the rebels recaptured the remainder.
The prisoners were allretaken by the reb-
els, or rather abandoned by MCook.
On the whole, General Sherman regards
the raid as a great success. But few men
were killed, the greater potion of the absent
ees being prisoners.
Everything is progressing finely at the
front but we cannot at present particularize.

COpperheads the Rampage-OrganizatIo
In Resist the DRIFT,


A gentleman who was at Bucyrus, Crawford
County on Saturday, says that the Copperheads
of that County had Convention on that day in
which the most defiant treason was talked
Resolutions were adopted pledging the "Democ-
racy" of Crawford County to resist the execu-
ton of the draft by force if necessary, to organ
ize, arm, and fortify against any United States
force that may be sent against them.
Wehave reliable information of similar organ
izations in other notorious Copperhead Counties
in the State Men have banded together In reg
ular organizations, with officers and places of
rendezvous their object being to resist the draft
Arms have been supplied freely and without
cost to the faithful by the leaders of the or
ganizatiop, The traitors make no secret of their
being armed or of their purposes, and Onion pen
have been warned to leave some LOCALITIES before
the time of the draft arrives. The CoppeEhead
County officials take an active part in these or
CARNATIONS.
The loyal men of the State must be prepared
for what ever turns up.
