Arrival of Exchanged PrIsOners-The
Voting In the Union Army.


Voting in the Union Army.
'[From the Richmond Examiner, Oct. Is.
a Yankee flag of truce boat reached Va.
rina yesterday, bringing one hundred and
sixty-eight Confederate Off ;ers and one
hundred and sixty-nins enlisted men. One
half Of these relieved prisoners are in such
Il low state OF health as TO make it neeessa-
ry that they shall be conveyed directly to
hospitals. The Yankees never let 20

der his appearance in the Confederate
ranks very remote possibility The
prisoners will be brought to the city this
evening. r.-
On the south side the same quiet pre-
vailed. The solitary matter of interest at
Petersburg was the appeasance of dense
column .of smoke In the south of the
town, which was believed To indicate that
the enemy were burning some country
dwelling. --3.F50
Twenty Yankee prisoners, captured by
our cavalry on the extreme right of our
lines, were brought over to the city last
evening. - boa
A Petersburg paper of yesterday saws it
has received intelligence from an entirely
reliable source that in vote taken in the
Fifth (Wsrren's) and the Ninth Burn
side's) Corps Of the. Yankee army, last

Of Mcclellan to that of the Lincoln can
didates were as ten to one. The voting IN
these corps was altogether by the troops
from Pennsylvania and Ohio, in which
Ststes an election. for State officers and
members of Congress was held. on Tues
day. On the same day the question of the
adoption or rejection Of the new Constitu-
ton of the State Of Maryland was submit-
ted to the troops from that State In the
army Of the Potomac. In the only two
regiments heard from, the vote was unsni-
nous against its adoption. These are

The spectacle has never been presented
to the American people until the days of
Abraham Lincoln of a President taking
the stump in his own behslf-Pldin
Dealer.
The Plain Dealer has a very short mem
ory. InIs6O, Stephen A. Douglas, its own
candidate for the Presidency, canvassed
the whole country in his own behalf,
speaking in nearly every State in the
Union. In the present campaign, General
Mcclellan has made moro speeches since
his nomination at Chicago than President
Lincoln has. Indeed we doubt whether,
in these later and lower days of American
politics, there has ever been Presidential
candidate who has maintained as dignifed
and retieent silence ss has Abraham
Lincoln, in both the campaigns in which
he has been our standard-bearer.

The Mcclellan Demonstration.
not this a gratifying exhibition

The music and the rockets collected quite
number ia Market Square last evening. The
rowd was not very laige Mr.. @. P. Kimbsll
,pened the meeting with brief speech, quite
fail Of praise for the Chicago nominee, but the
response below was not quite up to bis expec-
tations aud hopes, and so he closed and intro
duced G. F. Emery, Esq, who came forward,
took off his hat, bowed to the audience, and
commenced his speech. We soon discovered
hat George felt very heavy load on his
shoulders, and the magnetism OF bis hearers
did not seem to tighten 1t. George labored,
rev somewhat hoarse, tried hard to make "a
point by which he could touch the hearts oil
lose who stood before hlm, but bis efforts
wsre utterly vain, and he. closed. The people
resent did not seem TO know that he had fin
shed, for bis closing remarks did not seem like
peroration. We say honestly and sincerely
rat his speech was the weakest we ever heard
i'm make, but We have not space TO give The
reasoas tor that weakness, although they were
very obvious. Georges heart was not in th.
work, sAs consequently his brain and tongue
we're at fault. When he had finished, he turn
d away as If he was rather dissatisfied with
himself or bis audience.
Mr. Kimball then introduced Mr.. Pillsbury,
II Pennington. This gentleman has robust
rame and pair Of strong lungs, but there
vas trouble with him also. Having been in
reduced as one Of the most eloquent OF the
State, Mr.. Pillsbury thought he must sustain
the name Kimball had given him, and so be at
once mounted among rainbows and clouds,
made some tremendous flourishes with his
arms and hands, as if they had been wings
sld fioated beautifully In the upper air for a
short time, and then came down ON an earthly
level, where he was quite tame and dull. The
whole truth is, there was no patriotism 10 their
peeches, and loyal hearts could not respond
TO them. The fault was not in the audience,
but in the speakers. They did not touch the
right chord. If one word had been uttered
against JEFF Davis, or other arch rebels, hun
dreds of patriotic hearts in that crowd would
have burst forth III loud demonstrations of ap-
plause. But that word was not uttered, and
thereby hangs tale.
When we left bud. Clay, of Gardiner, was
speaking, but he is too light foul to call for
a newspaper notice. The Copperheads are
welcome to all the glory to be gained by such
display.
The Portland daily press., 1864-09-01
The Case Plainly Stated

Capt. John L. Swift, who is well known In
Maine as thoroughly loyal and able lecturer,
recently addressed ratification 10 New Or
leans in which he stated the case in the fol-
lowing plain and unmistakable language:
"This is the golden moment to take the mi
uative. We have hedged and higgled on
this matter of slavery until continued hesita-
ton would be the height of folly. The immu-
table DEGREES OF fate, the unyielding logic OF
events, call upon us to trihe no longer with
God or our own welfare. We have purred
the backs OF semi-secessionists, have Ndanded
the phantasm OF the South returning 10 It's
sense and allegiance, till no man ut 10 he out
side OF lunatic asylum, now entelt ans the
delusion. Governmental offers OF pardon
have been haughtily rejected, its amnesties
have been grossly abused, and all attempted
movements in favor of peace have been lug
gleries on the part of the South, and puerile
inanities on the part of the North. 1t is time
to stop the play. Independence Is the fixed
aud iron purpose of the leaders of the South.
InvincibIe and invlolable nationality is the
war-ery of loyalty. Ii the South are TO fight
for their object at the risk of determination,
zoe are as infexibly determined to march our
