TERRIBLE OUTRAGE.

The Statesman, published on We'd
nesday morning after the election, con-
tained an original account Of o great
outrage at Camp Chase, on the day
OF the election, by which the ballot.
box was destroyed after about eighteen
hundred votes had been polled, because
1t was ascertained that most of the
votes polled were Democratic votes
On Saturday night last, at the Cop
perhead wriggle, at the Court House,
the animals being In no very pleas
ant mood owing to the recent skinine
they received at the ballot box, Il was
thought advisable, by that very wise
snake, (Judgep) Chambers, to still
further excite the happy family. and
he retailed this whole cloth fabrication
OF the Statesman, and put In sundry
threats about using the weapons which
nature had furnished them with to re.
dress such terrible outrages. de-, &c

EASILY SATISFIED.

IT is rather remarkable to see with
what philosophic complaisance the lead
ers Of the Copperhead party look at
the recent political disasters, which are
so overwhelming that they are left with
out a.shadow Of hope. They appear
to console themselves with the idea
that, as they had nothing to hope for,
they have sustained no loss; and ap-
pear 'gratined to know that the result
is no worse. ;.'.i .sa D.
The last Gazette has tile rooster up,
Growing over the loss Of twelve Con-
gressmen in Ohio, and the almost GER
tain loss of Sheriff, Auditor, Commits
sioner, and Infirmary Director in this
.county-the loss Of four Congressman
in Indiana, and an equal number in
Pennsylvania; and consoles itself with
the capitalized head lines of "Thc

The editor says: "The telegraph
news from Pennsylvania, Ohio and In

Of these great States, two of which
had been claimed as certain for the
Democracy, with the startling an
nouncement, copied from the lying

Is certainly the grandest thing of the
age, and shows to what lengths Cop
perhead duplicity will 60 to keep its
courage up and deceive its votaries.
Belmont county has done glorious
ly, considering the number of Democrats
the draft has taken from this county NTH
in the past wesk. e."
Now the author Of the above knows
very well that the draft takes no Dem
ocrats, as he is pleased to misname
them, into the army. His instructions
and advice, with the aid of the secret
Northern Rebel Aid Society---the Sons
Of Liberty, or Mcclellan Minute Men
has prevented all who still adhere to
the party to which he belongs from 60
ing into the army, either as volunteers
or as drafted men; and If the Copper
head party has done "gloriously" in
the late elections in this county, it is
only because the great Union Party
has been sending forth by hundreds its
patriotic hosts into the service of the
country, to battle against the cohorts
Of treason; whilst the Blue-Light Fed
eralists, the broken. down Know Moth
ings, the disappointed office seekers,
and those who have been dismissed in
disgrace from the army, have formed
themselves into a secret oath bound
conspiracy organization through which
they have been able to combine the dis
affected and re-headed of all parties,
and rally them to the polls for the over
throw Of the Government; whilst the
friends Of the Government are bending
their energies and efforts for the over
throw of the armed Rebellion.
II SO many Democrats have been ta-
ken by the draft, how does it come that
at Tod Barracks, where the drafted
men are assembled, the vote at the last
election should stahd about six Union
TO one Democrat
The fact is, very few Democrats have
been taken from this county by the
draft A few, however, have been driven
from 1t, because they were too mean,
too cowardly and treasonable to do
their duty, and ran away to Canada, the
asylum Of oppressed Democracy, or to
some other place, TO swindle the Gov.
ernment out Of the service they owed
1t, and make some good Union man FIJI
their place in the draft.
In this way the Democratic party has
lost some votes In this county, very
few, however, compared with the hun
dreds Of Union men who, since the last
election. have gone into the army.

the dessrtsrs from the army, all the dis
appointed Office seekers. all the SYM

How AN FRESHMAN TREATED A HIGHwAY-
AAN.-On Saturday evening last, about nine
o'clock. two miles east of Strawberry Valley,
and on the Slippery Ford, an lrishman, haV-
ing in his possession some $500 in coin, was
attacked by a highwayman, who presented
cooked pistol to his head and demanded his
money. The only reply made by the Irish
man was a rap on the arm of the highway
man with a shillelah, which broke his arm.
Following this up with succession of blows
on the head, be left the highwayman on the
road bleeding, making his way leasurely to
the first house. bringing with him the pistol
belonging to the robber, and related the story
at the same time telling the parties that if
they wished they could find the highwayman
at the point he attacked him. Parties imme-
diately left in search, and found him severe
ly if not fatally wounded, having received
several contusions on the head with the shil-
lelah in the hands the Irishman. The high
wayman is in charge of parties at Slippery
