THE OLDEST VorER.-On Sunday morn
ing we published an account of man aged
over 1O4 years, who voted in Sturbridge,
Mass, at the late election. It seems that
one older than he has turned up. His name
is Seth Marion, is 105 years of age, and
lives in Conneaut township, Crawford coun-
ty, Pa. He this year voted the Republican
Electoral ticket, but has always heretofore
voted the Democratic ticket, and has voted
at every Presidential election ever held, ex-
cept that of Washington's first term. He
was in the battle of Monmouth, in New
Jersey. He still retains all his faculties ex-
cept his sight.-LaUYence Tribune.

fsrering to the rebel President. The object Of
the circular IL prevent any expressions IN favor
Of the re nomination Of Mr.. LINCOLN as the abo
lition candidate for the Presidency. The docu
ment was first published in the Cleveland Leader,
whose editor is Mr. LISooLS's postmaster in that
city, and it therefore may be regarded as anthem

We notice that 10 a letter to a Republican
State Senator in Ohio, that Mr.. CHASE declines
20 be n candidate for the Republican Presidential
nomination. This will not interfere with the op-
position TO Mr. LINCOLN among the Republicans
Who appreciate his character and unftness for the
high position lie nov holds. Mr. CHASE al.
though possessing more ability, is equally obec-
tionabIe TO the leaders of his party as Mr. Lin
coin. IT Mr. CHASE had not Withdrawn from
the contest there would have been a powerful
opposition TO his nomination. An effort will be
made to set aside all the old party hacks
and bring forward some new man. and in that
regard much will depend upon the events that
may occur previous to the time Of holding the
Republican Nominating Convention. But it
cannot be disguised that there is general feeling
Of dissatisfaction. we may say disgust, among
the intelligent members OF the Republican party
with the present Administration, and especially
with Mr.. LINCOLN. IL is stated that the Repub-

Mr.. LINCOLN is. however, cunning political
scherner and he is using all the appliances at his

But We believe that if the counsels of the Re

nation of the war and who only regard the future
welfare OF the country could prevail. total

The Importance AMI the power OF the whisky
interest in the United States have been developed
during the last two months in Congress IN 4
manner which, doubt, has astonished the
whole country; and we must say that the pro-
ceedings in that body with reference to the bill
taxing whisky are a disgrace to our National
Legislature, and sad commentary upon the de-
generacy of cur statesmen 1t is difficult to say
in what shape the bill passed. but far as we
understand the disjointed statements made
public, and which have reached US il would seem
that the retroactive feature of the bill. as re-
ported from the Committee, has been abandoned.
and that IT takes effect only from and after its
passage; taxing whisky distilled after the bill
becomes a llw sixty cents per gallon, until the
LIST OF next July. Uut after that date it is doubt
ful il II imposes any tax upon that article.
1t Is probable another bill will be reported TO
provide for further taxation, but should the pass
age of it meet with the opposition OF this last
one. it would be difficult 10 say when il would
pass A soon as the bull which has passed has
been signed 10y the President. and its measures
regarding the whisky tax go into operation, the

The abolition papers have been in ecstac es

the negroes at Port Hudson OF course the story
VAS all false. for il Is simply nonsense to talk OF
negro bravery. In any fair fight one thousand
white men would easily Whip ten or twenty tbon
sand negroes. perhaps more. but just now we
have fair sample OF the reliance 10 he placed on
thess3proteges Of abolilionists. The recent ex-
petition which Lincoln sent to Florida in order
u SET up 'one-tenth State" has come TO grief
lhe audacious FlOridians refused to be "eOncii-
ated, and instead Of approaching the amiable
joke of the Amnesty Proclamation" they ac-
tually attacked the benevolent party Of white
men and niggers who we're carrying the Lincoln
boon to them. Silly people. TO be regardless
OF their own best interestsl But 10 the point

home. makes the following revelation.
I'VE went in with four pieces. fly horses.

horses. two pieces and four officers. when we

lett Ii was our misfortune to have for support
a negro regiment who, by running, caused Us e.
lose our pieces. The fight lasted three hours,

This was sharp work "Forty -four men ard
four officers in twenty minutes" IS over two per

seems, fell victims TO the negro policy Of Lincoln
4 Co Since the time that Major Dade and his
companions we're led in ambush by the Indians
in Florida there has been no such record Of
slaughter in our history as in this "One-tenth'

the manufacture of bogus votes. When will the
deluded followers of aboltonism be satisfied that
they are following a phantom, which can only
lead them into sorrow and their country into
ruin? In attempting to carry OFT an impossible
and unnatural theory they will sacrifice thousands

A Touching Incident.

The following pathetic story is based upor
an actual incident that occurred on the
battle field Of Gettysburg s.......
A rebel prisoner asked clean shirt fol
his yonng comrade, whose fresh blood
stained baneages told of a recent amputa
ton just above the knee. One of tho SAM
tary Commission gave tho shirt, but said the
boy must be washod. A kind looking wo
man from Philadelphia was asked If shC
was willing to wash rebel prisoner. Ger
,tainly," was the prompt reply, II have q
son in the Union army. and l would like tt
have somebody wash him."
With towel and water 10 tin basin, she
cheorfuIly walked through the mud to the
tent. Careful not to disturb tho amputated
leg sho gently removed the old shirt and
began to wash him ; but tho tenderness OF
u mothers heart was at work. and she be.
gan to cry over him, saying tina, she imag'
ined she was washing her own son. This
was more than be could bear. He too, be-
gan to weep, and to ask God to bless her
for her kindness to him. The scene was
too much for the bystanders, and they left
the Northern mother and the Southern son
to their sacred grief, wishing that tears
could blot out the sin of this rebellion, and
the blood of this unnatural war.
