to take the necessary measures to 1alse
money to ray their just dues, who have
in every instance, and as party. re-
fused to let them vote.
But to come little closer, and to
show that the soldiers still remember
their friends, we will give the results Of
few votes among soldiers which we're
taken at different places as an expert
ment. A vote was taken at the Har-
vey Hospital in Madison, in which are
soldiers from all parts Of the army, and
from number of different states. With
the following result:-Abraham Lin
coin 308, Geo. B. Mcclellan Fl, uade-
cided q. At Nashville, where over
1000 manned heroes are confined in
hospital, vote was taken, and stood
thus-Lincoln $40, Mcclellan SO, Ere
mont 20. And so we might name the
result Of an indefinite number Of votes
which have been taken among soldiers,
all resulting in an overwhelming ma
,jority for Lincoln; but enough, the pre-
ceeding will suffice to show that "Little
Mac" can't count much on the "Soys in
blue"

John Morgan is no more ! And when
he died THIEF and COWARD expired |!
He was killed in Mrs Williams back

danger. He was shot through the heart
by Andrew Campbell, of Company G.,

escape. There should be salute fred

settle. His first wife was the sister of
Col. Bruce of Kentucky. She died in
Lexington from the neglect and bad
treatment of her debased, gambling and
thieving husband. His second was the
negro aoench be had with him during his
residence in this city. She is in Ken

of Chas. Ready of Murfreesboro, and
she is at Abingdon in Virginia. Our
own opinion is, that the negro aoench
has the oldest claim upon his estate,
but we leave this grave question of law
to be settled in the Confederate Courts,
or by special act of their Congress.

How will the Soldiers Vote.

This is question of vital Importance.
BY the nomination Of Mcclellan, thought
to be favorite General with large
part OF the army, the Democracy ex-
pect to get majority Of the army
vote for their candidate, at least they
say they do. They think the "boys in
blue can be gulled into voting for a
man they ONCE admired, not noticing
the platform on which he now stands,
which if they did-knowing that he is
pledged to carry out the doctrines of
that platform, and to conform his ac-
tons to the wishes of the Democratic
party-they would as soon vote for the
arch traitor himself Are the soldiers
Union men? They most certainly are.
Is Mcclellan Union man? He is not.
He is peace man, man pledged to
peace, Union or no Union. Is that the
kind of man to claim the votes of our
brave soldiers who are periling their
lives and their all, and are willing to
continue to peril their lives and their
all until the Union is out of all danger?
Every thinking man will answer No.
And he is not the man who will get
their votes. A record of the past is a
fair criterion for the future. How have
the soldiers voted heretofore A? Among
the volunteers Of our own State who
voted last fall there were 9,257 for the
administration candidate and 747 against
him. The Ohio soldiers voted Al ,453
fJr the Lincoln candidate and the op-
position only got 1891 votes. The
Iowa soldiers voted 27,O41 for and 3,
a votes against the Administration
candidate La the six states where the
sol Tiers were allowed to vote, an ag
gregste of S2,275 votes were cast for
the Administration candidate and only
7,112 for the opposition. This is very
good proof that the soldiers know too
much to vote for their enemies And
who are their enemies? The rebels in
arms, and the rebels without arms, the
men who have refused to vote money
| for army supplies, who have endeavored
to keep their wages down, and refused
to allow the Secretary of the Treasury

The Franks of an Insane Man.

A Mr.. Digman, who lives near Small
Pox, some four miles from this city, and
who has at times been insane, started
last Saturday to come to town with a
load of wood On reaching a creek some
where between here and his house, he
drove into the stream, unscreYed the
nuts of his wagon, took of the wheels,
and let the load down into the water
He then took the harness from his horses.
threw them into the stream, and turned
the horses loose, after which he waded
about for while in the water, then
came out and stripped off all his clothes,
except his shirt, and threw them into
the creek, and in this almost nude con-
dition, came to the city and walked up
and down the streets till taken up by
an officer.
His wife states that before he started
10 town that morning he brought to the
house some forty pals of water which he
turned upon the floor. He then went
to the pig pen and stopped the cracks in
the pen to make it water-tight and then
commenced to turn in water with the
evident intention of drowning the pics
As soon as his friends interfered with
this arrangement he started for town.

Patriotic Resolutions.


The Third Congressional District
Union Convention, which met at Bos-
cobel on the It'll inst, passed the fol-
lowing highly patriotic resolutions, don't
fail to read them:
Resol0ed, That as a peace on any
other terms than that of complete
subversion Of the rebellion, and the
humiliation Of its cause, would only be
hollow truce, we, as party, pledge
ourselves to sustain, "in the future as
IN the past" the Administration in it's
endeavors to put down the cursed re-
bellion which has for nearly four years
devastated our land
Resolved, That in view Of the treas
enable intents of the late Chicago Con-
vention, Of a party falsely styled Dem
ocratic-so judged by the conduct and
speeches Of its members, as by its code
Of principles or platform, every man
having remnant Of faith in the Con-
stitution and hope for the Union.
should withdraw from that party and
unite his destinies with the supporters
Of the Union.
Resolved, That an armistice, or"ces-
sation Of hostilities," as proposed BY
the late Chicago Convention, would
sanction the legality Of the Confederacy
tor time, therefore lacking only an
extension of time to make secession
eternal; therefore
Resozued, That we are opposed to
any cessation by an arnlistice, and op-
posed to any reconstruction, the old
construction being what we want, and
the old Constitution and Union-unless
our people and Congress should deem
1t best, by legal enactment, to so amend
the Constitution that no human being
In America can ever be master or a
slave. D"@
Resovled, That in war forced upon
the majority by factious minority, we
believe that, ignoring past prejudices,
all the means in the hands Of the Gov
eminent should be used without reserve
to accomplish the desired end.
Reso1oed, That ours being volun-
teer army, composed of our fathers,
brothers, and sons, imbued with an
educated love Of freedom, and in full
sympathy with their friends at home,
it is the height of absurdity to suppose
it can be used to uphold military des-
potism, or to crush the liberties of its
friends and relatives.
ResolUed, That we extend to the ar
mics and navy of the Union, not only
sour sympathy and the promise of fu-
ture care and protection" but also our
heartfelt thanks and the assurance OF
our constant support and necessary CO.
operation in the cause for which thew
have so long and SO nobly struggled ;
and that we look upon all movements
towards peace, not conquered by them
as insulting alike to their valor and de-
votion, and as ignoring their achieve.
ments in the past; and further
Reso1ued, That we regard their re
cent success on the land and on the sea
assgiying promise of speedy peace on
basis that shall be alike the consum.
nation Of their glory, and tie hope of
all patriotic men.
After which resolution was passed
rendering the thanks Of the Conven
ton to the Hon. Amasa Cobb, for the
faithful and fearless manner in which
he has fulfilled the duties of repre-
sentative of this Congressional District
A vote was then taken, and he was
unanimously nominated for reelection
which was the best thing they could
poss IDLY have done.

Late News Items.

The latest and most glorious news is
that General Sherman has given the
rebels in the Shenandoah Valley, under
Breckinridge and Early, a good whip
ping. The enemy were driven over 30
miles. Over five thousand prisoners
were captured, 10 stand Of colors, and
five pieces of artillery were taken and
the rebel killed and wounded left in our
hands. The rebel Generals Rhodes and
Gordon were killed, and four others
wounded. Our loss is estimated to be
near2 ,000
The news from Mobile is not startling.
There appears to be a sort of lull in
the operations against that city, it is
conceded to be at our mercy, and the
rebels have removed immense quantities
Of rosin, cotton and turpentine to Selma
in expectation Of the surrender of Mobile.
They have also destroyed large quanti-
ties of it which they were not able to
remove. Gen. Page, the rebel general
who commanded Fort Morgan, is to be
tried on charge of destroying munitions
Of war in that Fort after its surrender.
The ofense is punishable with death.
Gen. Banks lately sent out an
expedition which succeeded in DESTROY
ing the largest salt works in that de-
partment.
1t was rumored a few days ago that
the rebels were making preparations to
evacuate Petersburg. A large number
of citizens had removed south, and more
were shortly going. The truth of this
rumor is doubted
The rebels succeeded in capturing a
heard of 5000 beef cattle about week
ago. Efforts were made to re-capture
them, but failed.
The New York Heralds special, of
the 10Th inst, says: ga report has
been put afoat to-day that the rebels
had attacked Gen. Hancock on the
Weldon road, and succeeded in dislodg-
ing him, but nothing reliable is known"
A squad of rebels from the Canada
shore captured two steamers on Lake
Erie, on the 10Th They numbered
about thirty, and were armed with re-
Eolvers and bowie knives. Probably a
private plundering party.
The election in Vermont resulted
gloriously The majority for the Union
candidate was p, O00-a gain of 5000
over last year. Maine ditto; the majority
being 20,000-4,0o0 more than in 1860
The draft was promptly commenced
on the 10Th, land progresses satisfactorily.
AS far as heard from, no opposition has
been offered
Cold, during the last week, has stood
in New York as follows: Sept. 18th,
s., 271; Sept. 10Th, 2,281 Sept. 18th,

How Richmond Papers are Obtained

From Washington Cor. Springfield Republican
The manner in which the regular files of
Richmond papers are obtained, would as
tonish some Of the slow people Of the coun-
try if they understood it. The government
is generally indebted to the newspaper
press of the country for its first copies of
the leading rebel newspapers. Two days
after JEFF. Davis message was printed in
Richmond, a newspaper man here, Wash
ington correspondent, presented Mr.. Lin
coin with an advance copy. o. g. Paint
er, the indefatigable correspondent of the
Philadelphia Inquirer, presented Mr.. Fes-
sender with copy of the report of the
rebel Secretary of the Treasury when it
was but two days old. On Saturday last,
at ten O'Clock in the morning, sat down
to table whereon lay copies of all the
Richmond dailies Of the previous Thurs
day. A large proportion of these jour-
mails come direct through the lines at Pc
tersburg, but some come direct across the
country to Alexandria. Blockade-runners
bring them-pickets make exchanges for
the New York journals, and 10 different
ways the files are kept perfect
