This document was evidently intended for the
benefit Of the brave but misguided men who,
by force and compulsion, still serve in the
rebel armies; but who, weared Of the grind
ing despotism OF the confederacy, would be
but too glad to get back under the friendly
folds of tho old flag! II widely circulated
among the rebel soldiers, this order would
be almost as destructive as an invading army
The rebel authorities know this too we'll, and
therefore they strictly avoid giving ii any pub
licity whatever. Their newspapers, SO glib'y
talkative on every conceivable subject, are on
this order as dumb dead men. But it is to
our interest, as we'll as to tue" advantage Of the
poor misled rebel soldier himself, that it should
be known and read wherever there may be any
armed forces Of the rebellion. For this reason
We republish II in this prominent form, and
have no doubt that il will find its way into the
rebel ranks, and thus help along the good
work Of undeceiving the misguided people Of
tue South aud putting down the rebellion.
ELECTIoxEERNG RoorBAcKs.--In every Pres-
Dental campaign the unscrupulous politicians
on every side bring to light the most startling
revelations Of briberics and corruptions, ruffsn-
ism and ballot.box stuting, plots and conspi-
raccs, aud dcspotio designs on the part Of their
opponents. We see that in these thin. IS this
campaign 's not to be an exception TO the
general rule. On the contrary, according to
the party journals OF tho day, we have now
on both sides more rascally doings more
diabolical plots and moro tyrannical schemes
on foot than ever before. Thus, according to
the World, ballot-box stufing carried the recent
elections against the democrats; q sweeping
draft, II Lincoln shall be elected, will be the
first thing in order after the election, and
then the war is to be made permanent insti-
tuition, until all the blacks of the South are
used up, and all the whites Of the South extor.
minated
managers Of the Northern democracy are in
secret correspondence with JEFF Davis; that
the Southern rebel armies aud North
srn democratic committees are work
ing under common understanding |;
that, having been discovered and exposed
in grand conspiracy to carry the Presiden-
tial electioa by revolutionary appeal to arms,
the democratic managers are working to carry
IL by grand system Of fraudulent votes. Ac-
cordng to the Tribune, q conspiracy TO this end
has just been laid bare by Judge Advocate
General Holt, almost as diabolical - that mys-
uoal brotherhood Of copperheads, the "Sons
Of Liberty" Thus IL had been arranged, - II
appears from the Tribune, to carry the State
Of New York In November BY fraudulent
soldiers votes--greaA dry goods boxes full Of
such votes having already been sent up to
Albany TO be put In on election day.
Thus goes the 6ght Of the dshwomen among
the politicians. II Is the old story Of the kettle
osliing the pot niger, whom kettle and
not are Of the Same color. We await fol
I che development Of tho facts in all suct
cases before some competent tribunal. In th'
